Adaptable, Energetic and Optimistic, It Has Created Great Wealth Out of the Unbounded Opportunities of Nature. The horseback era followed the navigation of the streams, and then the railroad came to hang the great spaces of the west with cities like long circuits of electric lights waving along a boulevard. With the railroad the westerner passed away, leaving the American citizen proud of his section. With the railroad came the period of town building and town booming wherein the men from the west, traveling westward in a Pullman, endeavored to make fortunes overnight in real estate gambling. It took the collapse of the boom and the awful years that made Kansas bleed to teach them that they had found a new empire. In these men are now blended the traits of the cowboy and of the real estate man, of the vigilante and the student of law, but added to all these is the conservatism of the capitalist and the responsibilities of success. They "plunge" less now, since they have more to protect. But they are the same adaptable, energetic, optimistic spirits who pushed the pioneer ahead and created for themselves great wealth where only opportunity Local Watch Repairer Made Timepiece All Right, but Could Not Regulate the Striking Part of His Handiwork. In my travels in Mexico I visited a city which has a town clock in a high tower, and this clock does not run, says a writer in the Kansas City Star. I learned its history from the inhabitants. It appeared that one of the leading citizens of the town had visited the United States, and when he returned to his native city he insisted that the town ought to have a public clock. He called a meeting of citizens, laid the plan before them, and they subscribed $400 for a town clock. They engaged a local watch repairer to build the clock and gave him orders that it must strike the hours. He had never seen a town clock, but he sent to a coast town and secured a small marine striking clock, and with it as a model he constructed, by mathematical expansion, a large clock and placed it in the tower. It was advertised to begin running at 8 Relics of Its Practice Found All Over the World—Some of the Most Prominent of Known Instances. When the Japanese captured Mukden they found the black stone of the Manchu dynasty, regarded by the Manchus as marking the center of the universe. Even without possession of the sacred rock it looks as if the Japanese were putting themselves pretty much in the middle of things, and making the rest of the world spin about their island kingdom. The worship of stones was an ancient and universal custom, and relics of its practice are found all over the world. Up to the end of the nineteenth century the peasants of the Norwegian mountains cherished round stones, which they kept in a comfortable bed of fresh straw. Once a week these stones were carefully washed, smeared with butter or steeped in ale, and they were treated with great respect in order that they might bring good luck to the house. "It's the Kind Word and the Thought for the Deed Done and the Doer, Out of Which the Good Is Wrought." Cultivate kindness of heart; think well of your fellow men; look with charity upon the shortcomings in their lives; do a good turn for them as opportunity offers; and, finally, don't forget the kind word at the right time. How much a word of kindness, encouragement or appreciation means to others, sometimes, and how little it costs us to give it. We do not need to wait for some special occasion, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. When calamity overtakes a friend, words of sympathy and encouragement are offered sincerely enough, yet in certain respects, as a matter of course. Such an occasion calls for expression on our part, and we naturally respond. But why wait for an occasion? Why not speak the kind word when there is no special "For What Is Left the Poet Here?—For Greeks a Blush—for Greece a Tear." The isles of Greece, the isles of Greece!

There are the men who have made that three-fifths of the nation which lies west of Chicago so safe that the cliff dwellers of Manhattan have grown richer by selling them their wares—from steel bridges to magazines, from life insurance to Massachusetts state bonds. Their one care is a constant watch for opportunity and their rule of honor is respect for every other man's right to try. They laugh when they win because success in a successful country need not be taken too seriously. They laugh also when they fail, because failure amid so many opportunities is ludicrous. They are crude and they must meet their social problems in their wives' names. Their optimism is the optimism of plenty; their conceit grows out of their achievements. The New Yorker scornfully says: "Why should I go west? I have everything that is worth seeing right here in New York." To this the American replies: "Yes, everything except the United States of America." "You think you are the whole nation," says the New Yorker. "No," says the American. "I'm only a part owner. But I know my country and my partners. You don't." —World's Work. o'clock, and as it was a great event in the town's history most of the population gathered in the plaza to see the clock start and hear it strike. When the hour came the clock struck correctly and continued to strike correctly until 1 o'clock, when it struck up to sixty-one. When 2 o'clock came the clock struck 113 times. The whole town rushed out to see what was the matter. It happened that the builder of the clock lived at one end of the town, and when he heard it striking up to 113 he leaped out of bed, seized a wrench and ran down the middle of the street to the plaza, climbed the tower and stopped it. Thereafter he was to be seen every hour running down the street with a wrench, the whole town cheering and laughing, while he climbed the tower to prevent the striking apparatus from running away. The poor man put up with this only a few months, and then he ran away and never returned. Since his disappearance the clock has never run. It is called the devil clock. Kaaba, 'the holy stone of Mecca, is worn and polished by the kisses of the crowding pilgrims; while the Do-ring of Lhasa, Tibet, marks another center of the universe. There are other stones of legendary or historical interest which have played a practical part in national or civil life. The Stone of Sone was originally supposed to be the ancestral god of the Irish Scots. It was kept in the gray old castle of Dunstaffnage until it was carried to *Sone*, and the Scottish kings were crowned upon it. Edward I carried it to Westminster abbey, and it forms the seat of the coronation chair used by all the British sovereigns. The London Stone marked the meeting place of the Roman roads which ran through the kingdom, and from it all distances were reckoned. It was supposed to have been brought from Troy, and is mentioned in very early records. To-day a fragment of it is embedded in the wall of St. Swinlin's church, London, and protected by a strong iron grille. occasion to make it obvious? In the course of our lives there must be many times when thoughtless words are spoken by us which wound the hearts of others. And there are also many little occasions when the word of cheer is needed from us, and we are silent. There are lives of wearisome monotony which a word of kindness can relieve. There is suffering which words of sympathy can make more endurable. And often, even in the midst of wealth and luxury, there are those who listen and long in vain for some expression of disinterested kindness. Speak to those while they can hear and be helped by you, for the day may come when all our expressions of love and appreciation may be unheard.

He kept many offices and employed many men. He spent his money lavishly, had a splendid mansion in the aristocratic part of Boston, supported a string of fine horses and had a magnificent country estate in Bridgeport, Conn. No banking magnate ever spent money more freely. $50,000 for Jewelry For the notorious Nellie Maroux, who deserted him when he was sent to prison in '96, he spent $50,000 in jewelry alone in one year. He has the bills for this now and exhibits them as evidence of his past grand-ear. McNally himself says that his present position is only temporary.

Sigourney Butler, the noted Boston lawyer and society man, who died a few years ago, told the following story at a dinner party: "I met a friend the other day who had been on a fishing trip with Bishop Brooks. I asked him if the bishop caught any fish, and he said, 'No; he sweats too much.' " 'Why,' I said, 'Bishop Brooks never swear. "Oh, yes he does," said my friend. I caught a large fish, and said, "Bishop, that's a d——d good fish," and he said, "Yes, it is," in response. as "Green Goods King." as "Green Goods King, a security deposit vault which he cannot get at for two years. Doesn't Mind Work "I'm a waiter, and I expect to be a waiter for two years yet," said McNally, "and I'm used to the work and don't mind it any more.

You wouldn't be able to see me for dust if that was possible. Placed it in Vault "But it is this way: I was caught in Chicago in 1900 charged with using the mails for fraudulent purposes. They had me right. I had been sending green goods circulars through the mails. I was sentenced to three years. Now before this time I had placed the money in a safety deposit vault in New York. "At first there had been $160,000 in the box, but I invested about half of it in farms and other things, and while I was in prison the property was taken form me in a lot of different ways—attachments for small debts and that sort of a thing.

Peter Fogg, a well-known character of Harrison, Me., is noted for his witticisms and his exploits keep Harrison in an uproar. A few years ago he and his intended made a visit to a neighboring village. He had occasion to "dicker" with some horse traders, and, not wishing his Sally to witness his prevarications in that "Yankee game," bade her to take a walk around the village and meet him that evening at the church. After a successful day's business he hurried to the village proper, and, guided by the sound of loud "amens," and the hymns, looked into the church. Are you looking "Ah! my brother. Are you looking for salvation?" cried the deacon. "No, gol ding it," cried Pete. "I'm looking for Sal Skinner." Unique Scarecrow.

Must Wait Ten Years. The lawyers told me that I would have to wait seven years—from the time of the rental of the box. The seven years will be in 1907. The law. I suppose, takes this course, because if in seven years no other claimant to the property comes forward, that constitutes in a way proof that my claim to the ownership of the money is all right.

Could Most Catch the Train There is a man in Enfield, Ct., who drives a carriage to and from the station for the accommodation (?) of the public. He is exceedingly slow, nearly always being a little behind time. One day he was engaged to carry a lady to a train which it was very important she should catch. She watched and waited, with hat and coat on, until it was nearly train time. At last Mr. C. drove up, hurrying not an atom. The lady's husband flew to the door and impatiently shouted: "What's the use of coming now? It's nearly train time."

Beauty a Matter of Personal Taste Japan Is But Reclaiming Her Own Amends Made by All the Defendants Amends Made by All the Defendants Gory Scene in Recent Popular Novel Scatter the Kindly Words of Praise Only General Agreement Is That the Power to Attract Is Unfailing Evidence of Its Possession. "Beauty is a question for the blind to decide," remarked Aristotle when pressed for a definition. Later on he wrote a treatise on the subject, but the manuscript is not extant, and even if it were would we ever be made to agree on the subject of beauty? Men like Hegel, Schelling, Fichte, Emerson, Burke and Gautier wrote philosophical volumes and essays on this topic—none of them agreeing however. All the poets, the artists and the musicians of the world have tried to tell what beauty is, and only on one single point has a general agreement been made evident—the essence of beauty is the power to attract. As to the secret of this power all the world disagrees. The brilliant Gautier says: "A woman who is beautiful is brainy enough; that is, she has the quality of being beautiful. I prefer a pretty mouth to a fine mind. I would give fifty souls for a single well-formed Japan Is But Real More Than a Century Ago Reconquered Territory Was in the Undisputed Possession of the Island Empire. An Englishman in Tokyo, writing of the Japanese conquest of Sakhalin island, says: "What the Japanese mean by their present operations may easily be inferred from the nomenclature they are adopting. They have called Aniwa bay by the name 'Higashi-Fushimi bay' to commemorate the destruction of the Novik by the Chitose and the Tsushima, in the former of which ships Prince Higashi-Fushimi was then serving. So, too, Patience point has been renamed 'Kataoka Misaki' and Patience bay 'Shichiro Wan', in consideration of the fact that Admiral Kataoka Shichiro commands the naval expedition. Again, the two promontories c 'Shiretako and Notoro, on the east and west respectively of Aniwa bay, are to be called henceforth 'Juzozaki' and 'Kondo-zaki', after Kondo Juzo, chief librarian of the Tokugawa government at the close of the eighteenth century.

An armistice has been declared and the peace plenipotentias appeared before Recorder Fogarty yesterday morning, when the protocol was signed and the snowy-winged bird liberated. But the dove of peace has a wary eye skinned for trouble, for it is feared hostilities will break out anew, despite the friendly intervention of his honor, says the New Orleans Times-Democrat. Maudy Gould, a dignified matron of Charcoal flats, some time ago caused the arrest of Bill Sims, Chink Sims and Sam Sims on the charge of insult and abuse, and this morning agreed to withdraw the charge because the aforesaid dove had put in its appearance.

Here is a gory scene from Hallwell Sutcliffe's new novel, "Red o' the Feud." The scene is in England, the time in the indefinite past and the weapon used for the killings is called a "foster-brother" a kind of pole-ax: "He turned, to find Red Ratcliffe out of saddle, standing to the top of his six feet four inches of height and holding the ax in his two brawny hands, while he swayed it gently and fro. What followed passed with the speed of a tempest flung from the belly of a clear blue sky. Wayne of Ludworth got his sword out somehow and leaped back; before his friends could get to him Red Ratcliffe had run forward, had carried his first wild sword thrust as one turns aside a bramble in one's path, had lifted foster-brother high and higher yet, swinging it like a fail above his head.

The Mohammedans have a great ethical work called "El Ktab," which defines the essentials for feminine loveliness as follows: "Four things must be of black color—hair, eyes, eyelashes and eyebrows. Four things must be white—skin, teeth, hands and the iris. Four things must be red—lips, tongue, gums and cheeks. Four things must be round—head, neck, arm and ankle. Four things must be slender—fingers, arms, legs and the back." The final tests, however, are four proofs of ignorance, which are betrayed by the eyes, mostrils, lips and fingers. So you see the French writer and the Mohammedan sage practically agree in raising the body of woman higher than her mind. Edmund Burke was a very particular chap. Here is his punctillous recipe: "She must not be too tall, but gentle and docile. She must have many varied spiritual qualities. She must be extremely well built without producing an impression of strength or power. She must have a clear, wholesome complexion."—New York Herald. ance in northern waters having reached Yeddo, Kondo Juzo was sent to investigate. He visited Etorafu island in the Kuriles and there found that the Russians, true to the occidental customs of mediaeval days, had appropriated the unguarded territory in that region by the simple device of setting up pillars to announce its occupation. Kondo removed these witnesses of theft and on his return to Yeddo published a book dealing with the questions of Sakhalin (Karafuto), the Kuriles (Chishima) and Kamchatka. The gist of his contention was that the only tribunal to which international disputes about boundaries could be appealed was the tribunal of arms and that if Japan hoped to rest secure within closed gates she must take steps to define those gates. "Now after the lapse of more than 10 years Kondo's foresight is to receive national recognition. Thus Japan is significantly pointing to the pages of history, where in clear terms her titles to this northern island are inscribed. She virtually announces her intention of not only recovering but also keeping." off if they behave themselves?" asked Judge Fogarty. "Ah is, judge," replied Mandy.

Wayne of Ludworth's day was done, and Red Ratliffe, with little time to spare if the oncoming Waynes were to be met, set his two feet firmly on the ground and tugged and tugged at the ax, where it lay in Wayne's big skull, and wrenched it loose in the nick of time. The stripling Wayne, lighter of foot than his kinsman, had outpaced him, and his sword was perilously near to Ratliffe, when at last he wrenched the ax-head free and swung it high again; once more the sword was turned aside, lightly as with contempt, and foster-brother whistled as it cut the air. "Shameless Wayne was close in now and made a desperate leap to save the lad; his fire foot lit upon a patch of offal in the road and he stumbled under the haft of the big ax as it turned and whistled down the wind and bit the stripling through the bone.

We just received this week in pamphlet form a copy of an open letter to Thomas Dixon, Jr., by Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University, a professor of history and Lopeard's Spots," and we read the same through from beginning to end several times, and enjoyed it immensely and more immensely at each reading. It is the most beautiful piece of writing I have ever read. The war we have have had the pleasure of feasting our optics upon for many moons and if after carefully perusing it as Mr. Dixon doubtless did he was amazed at the beauty of hopeless case hell bent and don't wish to be headed. It seems that the St. Paul Pioneer Press also received a copy of the letter and carefully perused it and headed a three-quarter volume of the NEGOTIOL: "FLAGLATELLED BY NEGOTIOL" in which appears the following: "Thomas Dixon, Jr., author of *The Leopard's Spots* and other works devoted to the perpetuation of race animosities and to 'keeping the Negro in the new sensation. He has been given a polite, genteel, but thoroughly effective faxing, in an open letter addressed to him by Kelly Miller—a brilliant Negro writer connected with the black business, D.C. as must have filled him with amusement. Kelly writes better English than this contender of the black race ever achieved. He sticks to the truth, in his argument, in behalf of his peo- cies, in his writing. The black Dixon does not do in his attacks upon them." The Pioneer Press quotes considerable from Prof. Miller's letter and wint up by Mr. Dixon's favorite doctrine of the intellectual inferiority of the Negro to the white man. if it is to be established at all, is not to be established by a comparison of his own literary product with that of a Negro --- THE NORTH'S DENIACATION. "The Charleston News and Courier is a news organization based in York New Post says." The North's severe denunciation of lynching is bearing fruit at last. It moreover asserts that: "The superior right-earness assumed by our Northern friends is most offensive to the public," which is in addition to the efforts which the responsible people in this part of the country have made, and would make in the interest of law and order." The Post commends the resolution condemning lynching adopted by the North in 1917. The News and Courier thinks that they did not amount to much, and comments as follows: "Why did the Georgia Legislature not pass a law looking to the preven- tion of such crimes in the future, and make an appropriation for the apprehension of the murderers engaged in that terrible affair? Something more than legislative resolutions is required to make an appropriation for the horror at the commission of the Watkinsville crime, and all the denunciations of the North will not result in the punishment of a single one of the murderers, and that is what we are asking for. The above queries are susceptible to an easy answer. We give the South full credit for having many men who are in favor of law and order, but they are not in the legislature for boodle—encore, boodle, toujoura, boodle. Their resolutions denouncing lynching are mere plays to the galleries and well understood at home to be merely to offset Northern denunciation. Do you think that anyone can hang anybody but an Afro-American in Georgia, Ditto, South Carolina. HOMES FOR AGED EX-SLAVES. THE APPEAL cannot quite go into ecstacles over; the movement inaugurated by the Daughters of the Confederacy to establish homes all over the South. We regard the action as a very commonplace piece of humanity, such as is often extended to a superannuated horse or dog. Still we are glad to learn of the fact and give it so much attention, entitled to it. It tends to perpetuate kindly feelings between the races; which is a good thing for both sides. It also suggests another fact which is of infinite credit to the Afro-American that, ever since emancipation, he has been a man of great importance who were worn out in the cotton patch. As a contrast to the care of the Afro-American for his helpless and dependent ones, we quote the following from the annual report of the United Services Aid Association of New York: "The ever-growing immigration problem touches us deeply along two lines—wife and child desertion and illegitimacy. In no other country as committee members, we elect brother it appears quite as a custom of the country. The institution appeals to him as a sort of superior order of public school, where his children not only acquire the language, but also the money and no expense to him. His sense of the paternal relation steadily decreases as the city fathers assume his responsibilities." The average Afro-American has not read Roussan and does not send his children to the foundling school; but, when comes in contact with a class of newcomers, he may learn their ways. MISTAKEN THEORIES Says the Baltimore Sun in commenting on an editorial from the St. Louis Republic: "I doubt politics and mistaken theories of education have debauched a large portion of the Negro population. As respects this portion the Republic is not wholly wrong when it says: the Negro is the best classes of employment, and he does not encroach upon the trades. He is slothful, careless and thoughtless in all occupations, and even in the work of agriculture, and in which it was thought that his labor was indispensable, the growing of cotton and rice, he is found to be inferior. Every occupation which the Negro has been to be followed better by the white man." Both of these journals look at the question discussed from the standpoint of the white man's interest and give no force to any other consideration. Neither do they care even a little bit for the research that their arguments have been refuted, times innumerable. It is true "mistaken theories of education" have "debauched" the Afro-American into accumulating millions of dollars of real estate, into owning his own home, into educating his children at Yale, Harvard and Cornell—in a word, into educating himself as a laborer into capital, alas, it is all true. It is true that his daughter prefers playing the piano to boating in the cotton patch; but all these things are regarded as commendable in white folks, and sensible, reasonable white people regard them as very commendable in Afro-Americans. Rev. (2) Dixon, who wrote some sort of a book, as some of our readers may possibly remember, inquires in a recent article: "And what did Saint Frederick do? Spent a life in bombastic vaporation of the men whose genius created the final drawing his salary as a Federal office-holder, and at last achieved the climax of negro salinity by marrying a white woman." The Rev. Reverend to remember on which we take pleasure in supplying, "Saint Frederick" elicited from Wendell Phillips the encomium: "Matchless among American ors. Negro though he be." Wendell Pullen Jr. wrote in a judge of "bombastic vaporation" as Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., and was a lineal descendant of "the men whose genius created the American Repub The royal library at Tokyo, Japan, has issued a report which shows that during the last year a number of volumes equivalent to 21 per cent of the whole number in the museum have been mathematics, mathematics, science and medicine, 20 per cent of nearly 153,000 volumes in the class of literature and language and 19 per cent in the class of history and literature, one year volumes from these three solid classes equal to 60 per cent of an 800,000 volume library have been asked for and read. To say that a man or race has mere physical courage is not much of a compliment, as it is common to all races, high and low, black and white. It belongs even to animals; for a New Jersey mosquito would not hesitate to attack a man, but moreover physical courage is readily manufactured to order by the simple expedient of administering quantum suf of whisky. That was the old, time-honored plan. The two plans were the civil defence in Japan and Russia and the results are known. Every race loving Afro-American and civil rights activist should read the truth should send 15 cents to Prof. Kelly Miller, Howard University, Washington, D. C., and get a copy of his open letter replying to Thomas J. Cooper Spots" it's worth the money. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER. THE CITY OF MAGNIFICENT DISTANCES. A Collection of Events: Occurring Among Afro-Americans of the Capital of this Great and Glorious Nation for our Many Readers. Special Correspondence THE APPEAL Washington, Sept. 28 —In the past two months telegraph tolls on commercial business in Alaska have amounted to more than $32,000, while the cost of government business during this time exceeded $20,000. The excellence of the wireless system in Alaska is shown through its record in transmitting many thousand code words during the fifteen months it has been in operation without a single error. There are 4,000 Afro-Jamaicans employed on the Panama canal. They are scattered along in camps from one to two miles apart, there being thirty miles of canal. These camps have from 200 to 300 men in each. The houses are built especially for the purpose, and are thoroughly sanitary. There are strict rules for keeping vermin, and are thoroughly tolerated once a week and fumigated every two weeks. They have comfortable canvas beds. The Jamaicans got from $1.75 to $2.25 silver per day. Secretary of Treasury Shaw announces that he will leave the cabin February 1, 1906. A little more than a year ago President Roosevelt sent a letter expressing the gratification of the government and people of the United States to the six principal chieftains of the Manuan volunteer cession of the islands to the United States. He also forwarded at the same time to these chieftains six watches and six medals, which were properly ingrédited. A letter of thanks on behalf of the people of Manuan has just been received at the Navy Department from Tulmanuan, the governor of Manuan. President Roosevelt returns to Washington Saturday and will find a number of administration questions awaiting his attention. The board of directors of the Fredrick Douglass Memorial Exposition feel much encouraged by reports of activity in many states relative to prospectivity exhibits and financial contributions. The board claims that the present book indicates that the exhibit for exhibits is nearly, if not entirely, taken. The exposition will be held in Washington from May 1 to July 2, 1906. The board of directors is composed of the following: C. J. King, Redd, Leadville, Col.; C. R. France, Pittsburg, Pa.; C. J. King, Cambridge, Mass.; C. J. W., Bland, Kokau, Iowa. HON, E. H. DEAS, of Darlington, S. C., who Marries Miss Beulah A. Corbin Next Tuesday. Mr. W. H. Dammond, an Afro-American and assistant bridge engineer for the Michigan Central Railway, has invented a railway block signal which practically eliminates collisions on railways either between trains or with any kind of obstruction on the track. It is operated by means of electrical power or by the pilot at a mounted system of signalling now known. Briefly, it is this. The signals are displayed in the cab of the locomotive and nowhere else. A large white disc indicates that the track is clear. If there be a train or other obstruction on the track, the pilot is superseded by a green disc when the approaching train arrives within ten miles of the obstruction, cautioning the men in the cab to slow down. When the train arrives within three hundred feet of three miles from the obstruction the green light is automatically covered by a red light or the warning signal. A whistle is also connected with these signals, which calls the attention of the men in the cab to the changing colors. The friends of Oscar J. Rickett, the acting public printer, say that his ambition has been to win the public printership, and that he has acquired the knowledge and experience to it. He has also acquired the ability to secure it. The advantages to the government in retaining Mr. Rickett permanently in his present position, they point out, would be many. He knows personalities, office, what line of work he is best suited to perform, and, having the ambition of a young, healthy American to excel as a model executive, the good of the service would be constantly before him in his selections for important positions. Mr. Rickett is thoroughly farmland with the weak spots in the management of the big plant, and the little abuses that have crept into his business have become fixtures through precedent, "because it has always been done that way." In Mr. Rickett's favor his champions insist that there must be something out of the ordinary in a man who can number and variety of men that Mr. Rickett counts as "my friends," from the humble laborers, whom he has befriended, to men in the highest walls of life.

Little Known Facts About Cut Glass Maine Legend of the "Witch's Foot" Plan to Hold Maritime World's Fair Woman's Love for the Aggressive Man Lead in the Composition is What Makes It Ring—Why the Finished Product is So Extremely Costly. Lead in the composition is what makes cut glass ring, and if it doesn't ring, it isn't cut glass. Also, if it rings, it's perfect; if it is cut glass and doesn't ring, then it's cooked. O. D. Irwin of Newark dicked worth of broken pieces aside as he led the way to the kitchen tables, says the Kansas City Journal. "Broke them in travel," he said. "This one piece here was worth $29 alone. Found them in places when I opened my trunks. Now, they'll go to the ash pile." "How much ought a complete outfit of cut glass cost?" "Counting whisky, brandy, wine, medicine and other glasses, water goblets, etc., about $1,000," Mr. Irwin. "The water goblets alone are worth $2 each, wholesale, and of the pieces run up into the high three figures. That's because of the amount of work necessary to turn out cut glass. In the first place, all cut glass contains lead to give it weight, body Propechey of Legally Murdered Woman That Came True—Buckspart Has Monument to Prove Truth of the Story. Close by the road on the outskirts of the seaport town of Buckspart, on the Penobscot river, in Maine, is a small family cemetery. In its inclosure the Bucks, the family which founded the town and gave it the name and a legend. The largest and most conspicuous monument in the cemetery is a tall granite shaft which is in plain sight highway. On one side is the inscription "Col. John Buck, the founder of Buckspart, A. D. 1762. Born in Haverhill, Mass., 1715. Died March 18, 1795." On the other side is the single word "Buck" and a curious outline which, with the help of the imagination, might be the print of a foot of normal size. The legend as told is that Col. Jonathan Buck was a very harsh man and the leading spirit of his day and generation. He was the highest in civil authority and his word was law. The community respected him. When a woman, was accused of Centenary of the Use of Steam in Navigation to Be Appropriately Celebrated in the Year 1907 Plans are being made in New York to celebrate two years hence the centenary of the use of steam in navigation by the holding of what would seem to be a sort of maritime world's fair, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. On Aug. 7, 1807, Robert Fulton's "Clermont" made her epoch-making voyage on the Hudson, which revolutionized sea commerce and sea warfare. The "Clermont" was not the first steamboat, for attention is now being called to an interesting coincidence which should give the proposed celebration a double significance. It will be just 200 years old, not to be missed. The bride steamboat on the river Fiume. But though the "Clermont" was not the first steamship, she met at all events the beginning of steam navigation, and it will not detract from her inventor's fame to recall that the centennial celebration in his honor will be also a bicentenary in marine annals. Incident That Seems to Prove Her Nature Has Not Changed Since the Days of Adam, and Is Not Likely To. There are those who believe that love was stronger and truer in the pre-historic days when young Romeo clad only in sunlight, batted his Juliet over the head with the thigh bone of a dinosaur and carried her to his cave, where they lived happily ever after. So far as is known, there was no divorces in the days of aggressiveness, daring, brave force count with women to day. A Rome dispatch tells of a young Italian who loved a flower girl intensely. She wouldn't have him. She laughed at him publicly and he stabbed her in the neck. He wore a ball and chain six months for that. In his second attempt at matrimony he used a stiletto and had the lady pretty well carved when the police came. He served a year for assault and the front with unrestrained of undying love. The From an Unpublished Novel. A publisher's reader drew forth his notebook. "A French masseur has written a novel in English," he said, "and submitted it to my house for publication. I read this novel last week. I copied a few sentences from it. Let me read you one or two of them." The man read these sentences: "Her hand was cold, like that of a servant." How is you known? Charley was very ill yesterday, but he is better this morning. It is a singular coincidence, but he always recoveres when there is a prospect of a good ball game." A. Forward Age.

This is a forward age, my masters. and ring, and to make it soft enough to cut without breaking. Then each piece is handled as carefully as if it were of tissue paper thickness and brittle as a pipestem, because in cutting the slightest mistake is apt to result in ruining the entire piece. Notice these numerous combinations of designs. Each design there must be worked out on its own separate emery wheel, and to make these sixteen-inch fruit baskets, with handles, takes a day of hard work. That is, it takes a week to make a tablecloth that looks so easy cannot be cut in less than an hour. We have 300 men who do nothing else but cut glass, and they are necessarily all experts in their line. When you consider that we carry 6,000 different pieces, each calling for some special ingenuity, you can see that the cutting of glass isn't a matter of day labor. "Novelties in cut glass depend almost entirely upon the changes of design. The fruit basket, with arched and triangle handle, is a novelty—just out this year, and elaborately cut. This fat rose jar, that has little body, is another new thing. There are hundreds of new designs." witchcraft, at the first clamorings of the populace, Col. Buck ordered that she be imprisoned, and later she was sentenced as a witch. The execution day came and the woman went to the gallows cursing her judge. The hangman was about to perform his duty when the woman turned to Col. Buck and said: "Jonathan Buck, listen to these, the last my tongue shall utter. It is the spirit of the living God which bids me to speak to you. You will soon die and over your grave they will erect a stone that all may know the spot where your bones are to be placed. Uppe that stone the imprint of my foot shall appear, and for all time, after your accursed race has vanished from the face of the earth, will the people from far and near know that you murdered a woman." The imprint of the foot, the story goes, appeared on the stone a month after it was erected. Certainly it is there to-day as plain as ever. Amateur photographers have taken pictures of it, and a visit to the rock cemetery to see the "witch's foot" is one of the pastimes of summer visit. New York is of course the place of all others for the observance of the anniversary, for not only was the "Clermont's" momentous voyage made in its waters, but the city is the foremost port in the new world and has, moreover, in its grand bay and two great rivers, a natural setting unsurpassed anywhere on earth for a maritime spectacle such as is contemplated. The affair should with the most perfect propriety be of an industrial rather than a military character and celebrate the victories of peace than those of war, for the revolution in naval warfare followed necessarily from the "Clermont" performance, in the first place, however, to ask Admiral Togo to attend, nor would this be without its special fitness, for Togo is the greatest naval warrior in the day of steam as Nelson was in the day of sails. The presence of the victor in the only great naval battle since steam was applied to ships would be more than an interesting feature of what should be made a really remarkable and truly international occasion. lady said no and he blew up her house with dynamite. The kitchen flew over the barn and the parlor disappeared into the cellar, while the girl was taken to the hospital and her lover sent to jail. Now, you would naturally think that the young woman would have cheerfully seen her assasination in oil or quarter, all of which shows how little you know of a comedy's heart. On her knees she went before the judge and begged the law to excuse the man who loved her so well. The judge couldn't quite excuse the dynamiting, but he made the sentence as light as possible, and later the couple were married and are said to be living happily. Of course it wouldn't be wise to advise lovers to go a-wooling with Gatling guns or dynamite, but certain it is that the strong man, the fellow who does things, can command respect and love. He is the hero of Adam and it probably always will be "Atlanta Journal." with pants or the same color. "There is a bright flush on your cheek," he whispered, "a flush as beautiful and red as a lobster." "Ha, ha," he exclaimed in Spanish. "He paced the floor, his hands behind him, reading a newspaper."

A hunter describes the sport: "We suddenly came on our first crocodile about a mile from camp, asleep on one oak, with its mouth open, not more than twenty yards from us. It started to get away, but I fired two shots as quickly as I could get them off, the first into its open mouth and the second into its neck as it turned its head. That stopped it effectually and it never got into the water. The next day we found another crocodile and my friend got it just above the shoulder. That was not enough to stop it, but we both fired as it was getting into the water and one bullet hit in front of the quarters. They sometimes come up again when wounded, and then looking about twenty minutes, and then looking about I saw it lying on its back at the bottom of the stream. It looked dead enough, so we got hold of the end of the tail and pulled it ashore. We gave it two more shots, one in the neck and the other in the middle of the back, and it then still had vitality enough to bite a paddle in two, though the legs were paralyzed and it could not move." GOOD WORK OF SCIENTISTS. Immense Sums Saved Through Bureau of Entomology. Great sums are saved for the agriculturists of this country by the efforts of the government bureau of entomology toward the extermination of insect pests. The cotton worm before it was studied and the method of controlling it by the use of arsenicals was made common knowledge, leaved in bad years a tax of $30,000,000 on the cotton crop. The prevention of less from the Hessian fly, due to the knowledge of proper seasons for planting wheat, and other direct and cultural methods, results in the saving of wheat to the farm value of from $100,000,000 to $200,000,000 annually. Careful statistics show that the damage from the cooling moth to the apple is limited two-thirds by the adoption of control, representing a saving of from $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 in the value. The rotation of corn with oats or other crops saves the corn crop from the attacks of the root worm to the extent of perhaps $100,000,000 annually in the chief coproducing regions of the Mississippi valley. The cultural system of controlling the boll weevil saves the farmers of Texas many millions of dollars. Pigeons Mate for Life. Monogomists always, pigeons have given centuries of proof of their absolute fidelity to their marriage vows. The task of the breeder and trainer has been facilitated by the fact that pigeon matings were for life. It has been found that pigeons in captivity, even in the artificial atmosphere of one loft occupied by gay newcomers of all varieties, when once they have been married can be relied upon to stay together unless forcibly separated, and then return if ever set at liberty. Some birds have even cooled their silver wedding song, as there are substantiated cases of pigeons who have lived together for twenty-five years. Eating "Humble Pie." There is a queer twist of language in the phrase "to eat humble pie." The word "humble" is a corrupted form of the original "humble," which is an inedible part of the carcass of a deer and would make very poor pie. The words "humble pie" have the same original meaning as "to eat crow," a phrase common in political life. There is an enforced humility in this process and the change from "humble" to "humble" introduced a thought which harmonized with the idea sought to be expressed. The last form of the phrase has entirely supplanted the original. England's "Military Canal." It is not generally known that England has a "military canal," started just a century ago as part of the scheme of defense propounded by Mr. Pitt, in view of a possible invasion by the French under Napoleon. The canal was to have been thirty-six miles in length, running from Rye to Hythe, the idea being that it would serve as the means of conveying stores and also act as an obstacle to the enemy's advance, once ne landed. Now, 100 years after its inception, money is proposed to be voted for putting it in a state of repair. Costly Illegibility Sir Walter Scott's writing was at times—not often—decidedly obscure. Taking advantage of this a cunning rascal by some means obtained possession of a note of unquestionable illegibility written by the great novelist, and presented it to Sir Walter's tailor as an order for a couple of suits of clothes. The tradesman, recognizing his patron's signature, took the rest for granted and executed the commission, only to find, on asking for payment, that the note was an answer to an invitation to dinner. Magnificent Indian Building. A curious instance of the magnificence of eastern ideas and admiration for things that are large is the grain "golah" to be seen at Bankipur, in Bengal, India. It was built as a granny in 1782, but never used as such. Its walls are of masonry twelve feet in thickness and it stands about ninety feet high, with a circumference of forty-three feet at the base, and would contain about 130,000 grains. Access to the interior is obtained by a staircase on the outside leading to a platform on the top, where there is a stone placed in the center, which can be removed. Now it is, perhaps the finest whispering gallery in the world. Might Have Had Serious Results. Might Have Had Serious Results. Before now bad writing has been the occasion of whimsical mistakes—awkward ones, too, at times, as was nearly the case a short while back, when, on Mr. Justice Grantham discharging a soldier who had been on trial for manslaughter, he remarked that his difficulty in arriving at this decision had only been removed by a careful re-reading of the depositions, when he had discovered that the prisoner, instead of being a man of bad character, was in reality of good record, the word "good" having been so atrociously written as to look like ifad—London, Telegraph.
