It takes six years for grass to grow where sheep have puilt it up and trampled it. Hawaiian Farm Wages. In Hawaii the average wage of a farm hand is $20 a month. EDITORIALS. REPUBLICAN VICTORY. The great victory that the Republicans achieved last Tuesday at the polls was a phenomenal one, with pluralities and majorities running so immensely large as to astonish the dream of the most enthusiastic; with the solid North and West, and with a broken South—Maryland and our old mossback sister state Missouri going for Roosevelt—must undoubtedly be a crushing blow to Democracy in this country. The American people are not blind nor unreasonable when once aroused. Pure facts and practical results are far better to the business man or laboring man than theories or hypothetical analysis. The fundamental principals of the Republican party with its ability to perform those duties, added with that personal charm of President Roosevelt, and with that high love, intense manhood and fearless courage to do the things that he thought wise. We feel sure that if Mr. Roosevelt lives to serve his term of office out this country will have a new epoch, a new ara, and humanity will be respected and an equal opportunity given to the oppressed. It was indeed a great victory, one in which will be hard to duplicate in coming years and is complimentary to Roosevelt. WHAT DOES THIS REPUB LICAN VICTORY MEAN TO THE COLORED MAN? This Republican election means much to the colored race in America. It will give him courage and an opportunity to make something out of himself. It is a death blow to mob violence, Jim Crow Car laws, disfranchising, lynching and discrimination McKinley was a good man, but he was a coward, too easy for compromise, afraid to hurt the feelings of the white South, yet he did not think of hurting the colored man's feelings. Roosevelt even carried more Southern states and received more votes then did McKinley from the South; and Roosevelt was not afraid to tell the South of their wrongs and that he proposed to treat all men alike. Now colored men let us be up and do our duty, make good citizens wherever we may be, improve our present opportunity for good. THE CHRISTMAS DELINEATOR. The December Delineator, with its message of good cheer and helpfulness will be welcomed in every home.

A selection of Love Songs from the Wagner Operas, rendered into English by Richard de Gallienne and beautifully illustrated in colors by J. C. Leyen-decker, occupies a prominent place, and a chapter in the Composers' Series relating the Romance of Wagner and Cosima, is an interesting supplement to the lyrics. A very clever paper entitled "The Court Circles of the Republic," describes some unique phases of Washington social life is from an unnamed contributor, who is said to write from the inner circles of society.

Frank Baum, and Grace MocGowan Cooke hold the attention of the children. Many Christmas suggestions are given in needlework and the Cookery pages are redolent of the Christmas feast.

A company has recently been or ganized at Rendsburg, Prussia, for the purpose of distilling alcohol from peat. The company is now building a distillery which it hopes to be able to put in operation some time during this month. According to its process, the company will be able to distill alcohol cheaper from peat than it can be obtained from other substances and will, therefore, be able to sell its product for fuel purposes. Regulates Baptism of Childrea. The Swiss bishop of Chiemsee has decided no longer to permit parents to baptize their offspring by fantastic names. This law has just been exercised at St. Gall with regard to two children one of whom was baptized May I while the other had been named by its Italian progenitors "Ribello," rebel or revolutionary. The names were condemned and the children have been legally rebaptized. When we look at the world in a narrow way, how small it seems! When we look at it in a mean way, how mcaur it is! When we look at it selfish, how selfish it is! But, when we look at it with a broad, generous and helpful spirit, what a beautiful world it is, and what wonderful people we find in it!—Boston Christian Register. Alurcinum Dishea. Aluminum cooking utensils are being shed by many of the big shops. They are brought out in shapes as attractive as the fine silver, copper and gold lined cooking vessels used in wealthy households. The stew pans terrapin dishes, coffee urns and tea kettles of aluminum have now such beauty of contour and finish that they seem almost more appropriate to the dining-table table than to the kitchen. Expensive Invitations The latest craze in New York among the very wealthy is an extravagant style of invitation card. Not long ago the wife of a millionaire ordered 200 of these from a local firm and they cost her just $10 each. The cards were made of ivory edged with gold the name of the guest and hostess be lettered in gold on one side, the other being hand-painted. Cards at $ each are quite nice. Modern Education.

Sporting items from Caribou: a boy by the name of Pelkey, who riding down from Van Buren on a bicycle Tuesday, took a "header" from a very unusual cause. While com- ing down a hill he ran into a deer smashing the wheel and throwing him several feet. The deer escaped with out injury so far as known, at least it made its way into the woods, but the boy and wheel weren't so lucky. Lewiston Journal. Public Labor Exclsions. France is going to try the experiment of suppressing paying employment agencies and to conduct a public labor exchange in connection with the local municipal government, a register setting forth the offers and demands for work and situations to be maintained at the mayor's office in each community of less than 10,000 inhabitants, and larger communes are to conduct free municipal agencies. Factories for Mexico. Mexico is bidding for industries and she is getting them on a large scale. Great factories are being erected in every part of the republic and their products are being protected by the laws of the country.

Odorless Flowers The majority of flowers have no perfume whatever, an mist, who has for some time been making researches into the subject, declares that out of 4,110 varieties known and cultivated in Europe, scarcely 400 have any odor, and of these nearly fifty have an odor which is, if anything, disagreeable. Origin of Golden Bee Emblem It is said that when the tomb of Childeric, a king of the first Frankish dynasty in the fifth century, was opened in the seventeenth century hundreds of golden bees were found in it. So when the French empire was established the golden bee was adopted as one of its emblems. Modern Foot Is Smaller It is asserted by a sculptor that the human foot is becoming smaller.

The average man's foot of to-day is easily fitted with a No. 8½ shoe, which is not above ten inches and seven-sixteenths in length. Production of Rubber. The general impression prevails that rubber is a product like wheat or corn to be obtained from a given tree. The idea is quite erroneous. It has been estimated that 1,000 different species contain rubber, though commercial quantities have been obtained from only forty or fifty. Jews in New York According to the most authoritative estimates, there are now about 700,000 Jews in New York, the total population of which in 1902, as estimated by the census bureau, was 3,716,139. Perlabs the Jews may be about one-fifth of the present population. As to Evebrows. "I always look at a man's eyes brows before employing him," says a successful tradesman. "If they meet I know I am getting an active, shrewd, calculating, determined, ambitious and generally successful employee—one who will rise." To Grow Cotton in Africa Germany, following the course of the English and French cotton manufacturers, is agitating a movement to cultivate cotton in German Africa, with the idea of securing a source of supply Independent of the American market. Loss Due to Fire. A Birmingham, England, insurance office recently received a claim for compensation from a woman for the loss of a joint of meat which was burnt in the oven. She informed them that the loss was due to fire. Stone Church Crumbia In 700 years the stone work of three successive parish churches erected at Rowley Regis, Staffordshire, England, has crumbled away, and it has now been found necessary to erect a fourth church.

The Princess of Wales says that it is vulgar for women to smoke. If the Anglomanics on this side follow the princess in this matter much will be forgiven. Dantel Webster once said: "Where ever there is work for the hands there is work for the teeth." Daniel was probably reaching for the dentist vote at the time. Prunce raised in California are sent to France, repacked, and come back to this country as French prunce. Their exquisite flavor is due to the higher price you pay. William K.

A bull moose paused the streets of Foxcroft, Me, the other day, driving everybody indoors, and scaring some of the men so that next Sunday they will not venture out to church. The Denver Post says: "Within three days a Denver couple have had a hired girl, admired girl and fired girl." We bet a dollar we can guess who did the hiring and firing. A woman in New York has puzzled specialists by standing in one spot twenty-four hours motionless. It is safe to assert that none of the stores had advertised bargain sales for that day.

August Belmont has lost a $1,000 dog which wore a $500 collar. Her faith in the nobleness of the human race is shown by the fact that she hopes both the dog and the collar may be recovered. Perhaps you have noticed sometime in your long experience that while the transition from vocation to vacation is always as easy as slipping into sin, the chance from vocation to vocation is never made without a bump. Tolstoi is perhaps the most vehement preacher of peace in the world to-day, but his sons have enlisted in the army for the war against the Japanese. It is now as of old: No man is a prophet in his own country, and sometimes not even in his own family.

Where save in Philadelphia could a woman who felt the need of editorial help in such a matter be found? The Thaw family of Pittsburg is horrified at the fact that one of its members has married a chorus girl. Judging from what is publicly known concerning the Thaw children the chorus girl is to be pitted, even though it is likely to pay her pretty well.

The nearest approach to this vote was in 1896, when McKinley received a plurality of convincing 765,391 in 1872, when Grant received 765,391 plurality. "On a very hot day, recently, two culldgem gemmen' were chatting outside my window," said Alex S. Tweatt, of the Southern Railway; "one was a bright mulatto, the other blacker than stove-polish. 'How yo' feel, Abe? asked the mulatto. 'Kind o' warm, Jake,' answered the darker chap; 'how's yo-self?' 'Right peart, thank yo,' said the mulatto to his chonky-hued friend; 'but say, Abe, yo shore do hold your color fust rate dis hot weather!'" Horse are so plentiful in Buenos Ayres that even the beggars beg on horseback. congress in the First district by 455 plurality. Congressman Jackson of this district, however, puts forward a claim of trick ballots and fraud and says he will contest the election. It is simply a question of pluralities. "The solid south" was broken by the probable defection of Missouri—this section of the country usually having thirteen states in the democratic column. The figures show but twelve states with 133 votes for Judge Parkes. President Roosevelt carried all the northern states—swept them in, fact—and has 843 electoral votes. The banner state is Pennsylvania. Vongsoy Twenty-four hours after the polls closed, the returns from this state indicated that Roosevelt's plurality would reach 455,000. Next came Illinois, which had 225,000 more votes than did Judge Parker. Ohio gave Roosevelt 200,000, and New York 174,000. New York city returns are still incomplete, but the amazement over the result has not subsided. Judge Parker carried Greater New York city by nearly 41,000. In general, the situation is chiefly interesting because of the fact that the tickets in many of the states were cut. President Roosevelt ran ahead of his ticket in many localities, notably in Massachusetts, where he secured a plurality of 86,000 votes, while the republican candidate for governor was deflected by 35,000. In that state the Republican candidate and the entire republican ticket, with the support of governor, were elected. In Missouri circumstances are similar. In Nebraska the definite announcement that the legislature is republican disposes of the statement that William J. Bryan had aspirations for a United States senatorship. In that state, too, the governorship is in state, and the require official returns to determine who is elected. Both sides claim a victory. There is a curious situation in Minnesota, where Roosevelt secured 125,000 plurality, but where a democratic governor and a republican lieutenant governor were elected. The election of a democratic governor is the third in the history of the state. Chairman Babcock of the republican congressional committee has been returned to congress from Wisconsin by the Democratic of the democratic congressional committee was defeated in Missouri. The situation in Colorado presented an interesting phase last night, Roosevelt has carried the state by probably 15,000, but the governorship Gas is furnished free of cost in the English village of Heathfield. The town possesses natural gas in sufficient quantities for practical purposes. Some years ago workmen engaged in sinking a well were struck by the quantity of gas which they seemed to have received, and continued the quantity of gas increased, and an arsenical tube which was sunk in the well soon became a gas main, instead of a water main. This gas is now used for lighting various houses in the village. Two are needed to start a quarrel, but one can stop it. It is not often that the stage aspirant manages to reach the office of hawks, lions, and the right-hand man of managers, Charles Frohmain, of course, it was a woman who did the trick, the other day. She apparently creates a fair impression, for the genius of her character is "Are you married or unmarried" as she prepared to book her application. "Unmarried four times!" was the response that startled the placid manager. So much so that a bird's eye view of the real thing. Everything is worth what its purchaser will pay for it. is still in doubt, both sides claiming a victory. Late return indicate that the entire republican state ticket, with the exception of governor, was elected in Missouri. President Roosevelt, it is equally known, has carried the state. At a late hour both parties claimed Maryland, the republicans by 1,500. The democratic state managers said the state would cast its electoral vote for Parker and Davis. Iowa Des Moines, Nov. 10—Semi-official returns of the total vote cast in eighty odd counties in Iowa indicate that the plurality for Roosevelt and Fairbanks may exceed all former estimates, exaggerated. Eighty-three counties gave the republican ticket a plurality of 139,467. At this rate the plurality for the entire state would exceed 155,000, but the politicians note that most of the very few counties included in the Polk, with 11,000 plurality for Roosevelt, are included in the eighty-odd counties used as a basis for these figures. But it is possible that the plurality will exceed the 155,000 estimated by the official returns it may be fully 150,000. The fifty counties on which returns of the total vote for the secretary of state have been received disclose and other remarkable result. Out of this half of the counties of the state Sec. of State, 40,000, which would indicate at first blush, that his plurality would be close to 200,000. For the first time in its history, Dubuque county gave a plurality for a republican president and congressman. The county which have been received also indicate a vote of a little over 425,000, whereas in 1900 the total vote was 530,000. The democrats did not vote for Parker. The socialist vote will go to 10,000 this year and perhaps more. It was but a little more than 6,000 last year. The people of Dubuque last year and will not reach that figure this year. The people's party vote is about three times what it was last year. Returns from practically one-fourth of the counties indicate that the biennial elections amendment was passed on Tuesday by about 20,000 majority. Complete returns from the Second district at two o'clock established beyond doubt that Albert F. Dawson has been elected by over 276 plurality over Judge M. J. Wade, democrat, the present incumbent. This makes the Iowa delegation in congress solidly republican once more, as all of the other republican candidates were elected by large pluralities. Wisconsin. Milwaukee, Nov. 10.—The result of the election in Wisconsin shows that Roosevelt can ahead of every ticket and carried the state by a plurality of 50,000.—The vote of 7000; that Governor LaFollette has been re-elected by a plurality of about 50,000, and that the congressional complexion remains unchanged from two years ago. The legislature which unanimously succeeded Joseph V. Quarles, is largely republican and the question of whether Wisconsin shall have a primary L. H. W. F. CHARLES W. FAIRBANKS. election law, was carried by a s. e" majority. One of the surprises in the election was the big increase in the vote of the social democratic party. Four years ago that party polled 4,465 votes in Milwaukee county; two years ago, 10,704, and in this election 18,120. The social democrats elected four assemblymen and one senator to the legislature.

"sold south" by carrying Missouri for the republican party for the first time in thirty-three years. Fifty-eight widely scattered counties out of 114, give the Parker ticket a 46.2 percent share of the Parker of 12,323. Joseph W. Folk, democrat for governor, running in the neighborhood of 55,000 ahead of the state ticket, is given a plurality of 31,043 in the same counties which include the city of St. Louis. Equipped with the republican landslide are the candidates for congress in eight of the sixteen districts, a republican gain of seven, and the semificial returns from the state legislative districts give a republican majority of 14 on joint ballot in the next election. This will mean the defeat of United States Senator Cockrell for re-election, he having been promised by the democrats of the state re-election previous to the democratic national convention, if he would allow the use of his name in the nomination with the nomination for the presidency. Denver, Nov. 10.—Impartial estimates based on returns up to 9 o'clock today indicate Roosevelt's plurality in Colorado will be about 20,000. Adams, democrat, will have at least 5,000 plurality over Peabody, republican, for governor. Indiana. Indianapolis Ind, Nov. 10.—The latest returns from over the state have not materially changed the earlier estimates of the plurality for the republican national ticket. Republican State Chairman Goodrich persisted in his assertion that 75,000 plurality Roosevelt is a conservative estimate. Minnesota. St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 10.—While returns from the state are far from complete, there is no reason to change the previous estimate of 100,000 plurality for Roosevelt in doubt both sides claiming to have elected their candidate. An unofficial but fairly complete figure from 42 of the 83 counties of the state give Johnson, democrat, a plurality of 12,000 over Dunn, republican.

Nebraska.

RUSSIA WILL NOT BROOK MEDIATION Expects That the Neutral Powers Will Respect Wishes. LITTLE OUTLOOK FOR PEACE Overtures From Japanese Government Rebuffed-Czar is Evidently Determined to Fight It Out to the Bitter End-Activity at Mukden. London, Nov. 11.—Japan unofficially has made representations to Russia looking to peace. This action has resulted in failure, and such representations, even privately, are not likely to be repeated by Japan. Although the suggestion of a pacific adjustment was made unofficially, it actually had behind it the all weight of an offer by the Japanese government. It was made direct to Russia. No power acted as an intermediary, and the Japanese government was tentatively and unofficially, so the Japanese government would be in a position to deny any report that it was using for peace. The failure of these direct negotiations, however, resulted in a difficult situation. Foreign Secretary Landswine's plea for arbitration Wednesday evening at the Guild Hall banquet is taken here to be a pointed suggestion to the United States and France that the time is approaching for the implementation. It can be definitely stated that Lord Landswine made his speech with full knowledge that Japan will not resent a proposition looking to peace from the three powers (the United States, France, and Japan). There is a definite impression here that the initiative will come from President Roosevelt, though this action would be joint. It is mooted that Lord Landswine stated openly that he had reason to believe that President Roosevelt would be making an effort to bring the belligerents to discuss terms of peace. Lord Lansdowne's remarks are held by those in his confidence to mean that whatever the United States may do in the matter Great Britain will contend for, it will not participate. It is known, how ever, that Ambassador Cambon, who continues his work assiduously to bring about some arrangement, hopes for joint action by the three powers, of foreign Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minister, said: "I should not be surprised to see them the three powers named, or two of them, like the action suggested. But peace could be secured it is at present impossible to see, but there is no the slightest doubt that combined representations especially if led by President Roosevelt, would have a far greater chance of one of which was thoroughly defeated. "It is comparatively easy to make peace in this case, as neither side is thoroughly defeated yet. The prospects for the success of the friendly intervention have vastly increased. Since the commencement of the war, Japan has been forced to a degree never dreamed of before they met in battle. Their mutual respect is the most hopeful factor for peace. Japan does not want to go on fighting forever. Yet, even with the victories won during this war, her statesmen would render themselves unhappy, and their misunderstood, especially in Russia, openly suggested in the name of humanity some method whereby the war could be stopped. It would be altogether different, however, at this stage of the war, should a friendly offer, promoted by that sense of humanity which Japan can not voice for, be made from the United States and Great Britain, but nothing can be done until the fall of Port Arthur." Washington. D. C. Nov. 11. -Emphatically, but with all courtesy, Russia through her ambassadors abroad has several times informed the new powers that she will brook on to the United States and Japan. It can be announced that Russia expects her wishes will be respected by all newowers to which she has communicated her views. Count Cassini, Russian ambassador, said last night to a correspondent of the Associated Press: "I can announce that I have very good reason to emphasize my commitment to any mediation at this time will be respected and observed by all neutral powers." Of the suggestion made in Great Britain that the United States take the lead in a move for intervention the ambassador hasted to recant what he has announced so many times, that he government, while it should offer its services, has not the slightest intention to take a step toward mediation unless invited by both bellergers. The Russian government is fully aware of the views of this government on the subject and has unceased unnecessary at the Russian embassy to announce that it is confident this attitude will be strictly adhered to. Baron Hayasih intimated that he thought that the fall of the fortress would not be long delayed, and ended: 'In the meantime I have no doubt that the powers who are now willing to excess their desire for peace will confidentially exchange views in the hope of arriving at some suggestion practical to both bellergers.' IS THE LARGEST ON RECORD Pennsylvania Gives Roosevelt Plurality of 494,525. Philadelphia, Nov. 11. -Complete but unofficial figures received by the Associated Press from every county in the exception of Allegheny, in which it has been obtained, but from where a close estimate has been obtained, show that President Roosevelt's plurality in Pennsylvania has reached 494,525, probably given a presidential candidate by nurse in the political history of the country.

There seemed to be nobody at hand to answer it, so presidentORMformed the duty himself, and he conversed took place: "Well, what is it?" "Hello, is Archie there?" "No, he's not." "Who's this I'm talking to?" "The President." "Well, you'll do. Tell Archie to come over and play ball."

Lots of people are too proud to tough too honest to steal and too lazy to go to work. In the early railroad days, and that era may be brought down to a comparatively recent date, roadbeds were constructed largely along the lines of least resistance. The economy of time was not considered as carefully as the economy of construction. That came the era of speed, when the saving of the hours became all important. New, high-speed locomotives were invented and fast express schedules were arranged with few stops, but there was still another great factor in bringing about the present fast train service, that the average person fails to take into account. A great deal of speed can be put into the track itself. And so came an era of improvement in the roadbed, and roadbeds cut down and filled up to as near as possible and cut-offs were built between bends and curves. So with "a fast track" and high-speed locomotives the modern express trains and "special" have reduced the distance between points and added to the fast train service without sacrificing either comfort or safety—From "The World's Progress," in Four-Track News for November.

HAS OBJECTIONABLE FEATURE Lawyers Say It Violates the Secrecy of the Ballot, and the Courts Will Be Called Upon to Declare It Unconstitutional. Des Molles, Nov. 10.—There is little doubt but a fight is to be made on the legality of the new primary law. Many voters are disposed to question the right of the election judges, even under the authority vested by this law, to question an elector as to his party affiliation. The disfavor in which the law is held was made manifest by the large number who refused to answer the question when put to to test, and today the vote is full of rumors of possible test cases. It was learned that a number of attorneys have been consulted with reference to it, and that without exception they have given it as their opinion the law. If tested, would fail to answer the question of public policy, if on no other. Several attorneys have been consulted by persons contemplating the filing a contest of the law. Mr. Stevenson, one of the attorneys, of the law, and a lawyer is in direct conflict with the Australian ballot law, which was adopted as a guarantee of the secrecy of the ballot. That a law should now be enacted giving to the election judges the right to ask the voter before he leaves the pollination field, and that the protected against publicity by the Australian ballot, what party he is supporting, is preposterous. It is in direct opposition to the intent of the Australian ballot law, and must fail to be enacted for the law. But leaving the question out, it is not policy on the standpoint of the public that the voter should be required to express his party preference at an election, that advantage may be taken of this by employer persons to whom the voter is indebted. "The law has a proviso to the effect that the voter may refuse to state his preference and would still be permitted to vote in the primary by filling an affidavit with designated authorities of the primary, declaring his party affiliation, but even this is not in accord with the guarantee to the voter that his ballot shall be secret." Other attorneys express practically the same view as Mr. Stevenson. BOYS CALLED TO ACCOUNT. Eldera Youngsters Answer for Dam age Done on Halloween's Eldora. Nov. 10—On account of Halloween'ed depredations 10 or six high school boys were placed under arrest and brought before Mayor Glimman, who, after fiting them and giving them a good talking to, gave them to understand that malicious mischief such as had been indulged in during the past Halloween night must be stopped. The same night a crowd of boys did serious damage at the C. & N. W. railway yards, and one car was pushed into the street. The railway officials have been investigating the matter thoroughly. It is stated that a detective of the company has been in the city for a day or two, and it is expected that some interesting arrests will be made. No content with having damaged the railway company's property, the same crowd of boys, it is claimed, did a great deal of malicious mischief in other parts of Eldorn, and an example of this occurred in order that in the future the actions of these lads may be tempered just a trifle.

SHAW MAY RETIRE. Rumored Change in Head of Treasury Department. Washington, Nov. 11.—Leslie M. Shaw may not continue as secretary of the treasury, according to the reports which have gained active circulation here since election. It is claimed that the secretary will be appointed for the next administration, the name of the secretary will be omitted. An additional impetus has been given these reports by New York Sun dispatches yesterday morning to the effect that there was quiet talk in the administration that Secretary Shaw would retire after March 4. We are confident that Governor Wynne would stay where he is and National Chairman Cortelyou would be the next secretary of the treasury. As yet no official verification of the story is obtainable.

Clark lives at Motherly, Mo. The Missouri authorities will take no action in the matter because the shooting occurred near Moulton, in Iowa. ODD REPTILE IN STOMACH. Case Without Precedent Among Medical Men. Des Moines, Nov. 10.—A reptile in her stomach, of a character never before met with or heard of by the physicians in attendance, caused the death of Stella Weston, the fourteen-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Erasmus J. Weston, 2204 School street. The reptile was removed from the girls stomach Monday by an operation. It is twelve and a half inches long and about seven inches in circumference. The physicians describe the creature as the oldest monstrosity which ever came under their eyes. It is incased in a sort of tortoise shell, with an odd main from head to tail and with a tuff of hair at its snout. The old specimen was examined yearly by Dr. Linn. Dr. Joseph Drake was the attending physician and several other members of the profession were called in. The case appears to be without precedent in the medical men. The reptile is totally different from so-called tape forms. It is believed the tape attaches wide interest among medical men. It is the belief of the physicians that the reptile had grown in the girl's stomach all her life. Do you think 10~An insectogenesis of the case of Stella Weston proves that the substance removed from her stomach was a ball of hair. She had a habit of chewing her hair while asleep. The hair passed into the stomach but was not digested and formed in a ball which increased in size until it caused death. ATTEMPTS TO KILL FAMILY.

For over a year I hobbed under the imminent threat of a bombing, and sight. I consulted some of the most eminent eye doctors, but got no encouragement. One day happened to meet C. G. Browne, who had learned of my affliction. He advised me A. B. not give up hopes, but to go at once to Dr. Lew Arms, upstairs opposite street and advice, and consider that advice one of the teachers ever bestowed on me, for Dr. Lew Arms, is to read the book both tar and near.

And Sturdy Scotchman Gave No L Service to His Maker. The following example of a quanti- philosophical Scotch character is rela- ted in the Scottish American: The season had been an exceptionally bad one for farming, but in a church not far from Arboreth the officials had re- ceived the custom, to hold the annual harvest there- fore. It was noticed that on that particular occasion Mr. Johnstone, a regular attendant and pillar of the church (whose crops had miserably failed), was not in attendance. The minister in the course of the following wee- me Mr. Johnstone and inquired of the church from such an importance from church on such an importance to "Weel, str." relied Mr. Johnstone, "I dnaa care about approachin' my Maker in a speerit o' sarcasm." Ambassador Bearded Czar Sir Jerome Bowes, Queen Elizabeth's ambassador to Ivan the Terrible, cair of Russia, in 1583, had an exciting time. Ivan had killed his own son a few years earlier in a fit of passion, and was no easy character to deal with. The czar saw fit to disapare the English queen, whom, he had, had been a friend of his fellow," there being those who wore her betters. Bowes could not stand this sort of thing, and pluckly asserted that his princess was as great as any in Christendom. "What! As great as the emperor of Germany?" demanded Ivan. "Why," answered Bowes, with a fine assumption of scorn, "such is the greatness of the queen, my mistress, that the king her father had not long since the emperor was dead." The czar was as dead more turbulent than ever, but in time he took Bowes into his favor. Old Hymns. The 's' lets off music in 'em—the hymns of long ago.
