FINE ORATION BY INDIAN WONDERFUL CROSS IN SKY PAINT FROM ROYAL HEARTS WEIGHED IN THE BALANCE VOL. 22. NO. 4. In the twilight of the tribal life of the American aborigines stands the chief of the Creeks, says the Muskogee L. T.) Times. He is heard to utter the following oration. It will be read in the reading books of the youth of other centuries. The oration is dignified, tranquil, eloquent. There is hope in the heart of the chief whose people dared and forebore so long in the unspoken cut of the forest. Gen. Pleasant Porter said: "The vitality of our race still persists. We have not lived for naught. We are the original discoverers of this continent and the conquerors of from the animal kingdom, and from the first taught the art of peace and war, and first planted the institutions of virtue, truth and liberty. The European nations found us here and were mere aware that it was possible for men to exist and subsist here. We have been to European people on this continent our thought forces. The best blood of our ancestors have been intermingled their best statesmen and leading citizens. We have ourselves an indestructible element in their natural history. We have shown what they believe to be arid and desert places were habitable and capable of sustaining millions of people. We have led the vanguard of civilization in our conflict with them for tribal existence from ocean to ocean. The race that has rendered this service to the other Perfectly formed, exquisitely colored and standing out in bold relief from a cloudy sky, a wonderful cross was observed here this afternoon. Five minutes after the sun had disappeared, its rays, piercing a low bank of clouds along the horizon, were thrown upon a higher bank of dark gray clouds in the form of a perfect cross, blood red in color, which was visible without a perceptible change in form for fully ten minutes. In form for fully ten people rushed from their homes into the street to watch the awe-inspiring spectacle, which many superstitious ones regard as pertaining some wonderful event in their community. Frightened negroes fell upon their knees in the streets, believing the Judgment at hand. Passengers on trains from Philadelphia had their attention called to the brilliant coloring of the western heavens, and windows and vestibules were filled with faces. To these the flaming cross was visible several minutes. One thus graphically describes the scene: "Passengers had been watching the A correspondent of the Paris Temps describes the discovery of an affidavit in the national archives signed Philippe Henri Schunck, a citizen of Paris of about the year 1819, who is certified as having been a good royalist of unimpeachable character. His statement is to the effect that he made the acquaintance of an artist named St. Martin, a friend of a revolutionary official who superintended the opening of monuments in the Jesuits' church. St. Martin related that he and another painter named Martin Droling were present on the occasion of the opening of the monument, their object being to utilize the royal dust as mummy, a valuable dark brown pigment which was then usually obtained from mummy cases and ancient tombs. St. Martin actually converted part of the heart of Louis XIV, to this use, but handed over the rest with the "So I hear you are going to part with the new minister, the one that came here from Brownsville?" "Jest so; he didn't suit our folks at all," responded Uncle Jesse Putnam promptly. "Well, you folks must be getting hard to please, all of a sudden. Now you like that old-fashioned man, Dr. Patterson—" "Nice, easy sort of feller; read his sermons in a ca'm, unconcerned kind of way," interrupted Uncle Jesse, by way of comment. "Yes, and you took to young Mr. Banks—I thought you'd object to him, after Dr. Patterson! Why, young Banks was a regular firebrand, full of him and an empire—delivered his sheer in a loud, excited voice. When he, too, fitted into things in Sheville, I concluded young folks would take to any one that came along." Both the octopus and the cuttlefish have arms that are clothed with a formidable piece of suckers which are wonderful pieces of mechanism. When the sucker comes into contact with an object, the central piston, having previously been raised so as to completely fill the cavity of the sucker, is at once withdrawn and a perfect vacuum produced explaining the great tenacity with which the suckers cling. They number upward of 100 pairs to each arm of the octopus, and once they obtain a grip on the victim, unless the arm is actually torn away from the body of the octopus it is practically impossible for its prey to disentangle itself. In addition to these suckers the octopus has a powerful pair of faws, shaped like the beak of a parrot, behind which is a formidable arm-plat nations of mankind can not perish utterly. Though our tribal organization is fading away, we will be transformed as a potent factor, an element within the body of Christian civilization. The philosophy of the history of the future shall trace many of the principles of government and institutions so dear to them to those they found among us. Now that we have demonstrated that we have the ability to make for ourselves and our children homes, and having sanction of every law, let us make for ourselves this firm resolution: Let our every act speak forth; let the elements of forces of nature carry our resolutions to our fellow men the world over; let them in their senses know and feel it and enter upon the performance of our high mission. Many of you have accomplished it already; many have begun it; begin at once and devote all your energies of soul, mind and body to the task set before us, even if it takes years—yes, a lifetime, to carry it out. When we have thus resolved to make for ourselves and our children homes, we will have indited in and upon ourselves a law for our guidance which divine and human law will protect and sustain us in its maintenance. No statutory law will ever annul it, and we shall then have risen to the place of our high destiny. magnificence of the sky's colorings from the time our train crossed the Delaware River bridge. "As the sun sank below the horizon three immense bars of golden light shot upward nearly to the zenith. As if by magic, two disappeared, and the remaining one seemed to become as dazzling as the orb that had just disappeared. "With the same suddenness, a bright bar of light fell across this perpendicular one, forming a cross that was geometrically perfect. Its height was about 15 degrees, and at first it was a bright orange color, but gradually changed into a gorgeous red. At last it was the form of a cross the clouds were dark greenish gray, while beyond they presented almost every color and印刻 imaginable in marvelous arrangement.

St. Martin made this surrender during his last illness when he could hardly have been in the mood to perpetrate a practical joke on posterity. As to Droling, Schunck learned from St. Martin that the two painters also witnessed the opening of other monuments and that Droling bought eleven hearts, including those. Anne of Austria, Maria Theresa, Gustav I, Maris, the Regent and Mme. Henriet, the bride was immortalized by Bosseu's funeral cask, and made them into mummy. A picture Droling "Interieur de Cuisine" is in the Louvre and it is quite possible that its dark ints owe their richness to minute parts of defunct Bourbons.

In spite of being a creature of such awe-inspiring looks, the octopus has several enemies in various species of whales, sharks and conger eels, in fact, the latter are particularly fond of devouring the smaller octopuses. Conger eels hunt for the octopus and when found, proceed to browse on its limbs.

Immense Steel Dry Dock Dewey Now on Way to the Philippines --- INBOARD PROFILE OF THE DOCK, WITH A BATTLESHIP OF THE GEORGIA CLASS ON THE BLOCKS PHOTO BY GROENINGER THE BATTLESHIP IOWA ENTERING THE SURMERGER DOCK THE BATTLESHIP IOWA ENTERING THE SUBMERGED DOCK The great steel dry dock Dewey, which left Solomon's Island Dec. 28, to be towed fourteen thousand miles to the Philippines, is now well started on her voyage, and if all goes well the powerful naval vessels which are hauling the immense and unwieldy structure will not stop until they reach the entrance to the Suez canal, a dispatch from Baltimore to the New York harbor. In towing the dock, hawers having a total length of 1,220 fathoms, or 140 yards more than a mile and a quarter, will stretch between the ships and the dock. This great length of hawser, together with the lengths of the ships and the dock, will make a tow of about one mile and three-quarters. These giant machines hooked up will present a dazzling spectacle on clear nights. The four ships convoying the dock are fully equipped with electricity in the way of search and signal lights, and each ship and the telephone, so that communication should be perfect. There are spare hawers and chains, and a vast quantity of coal will be used. To the dock will be fastened forty- INBOARD PROFILE OF THE DOU THE BATTLESHIP five hathors of $2\frac{1}{2}$ inch chain for a bridle. To this will be fastened 120 fathors of hawser made up of two 15-inch manila hawseres seized together. From this will go to the ship nearest the dock 200 fathors of 6-inch steel hawser. From ship to ship will stretch 100 fathors of 15-inch manila and 200 fathors of 6-inch wire hawser. The most important factors in the towing of the dock are the automatic towing machines, which are an American invention. These are depended upon in a large measure to make the undertaking comparatively safe. The resistance of the tow is borne entirely by the steam pressure in the cylinders of the towing machine, which consists of a reel or drum upon which the steel wire hawser wind and unwind automatically. This drum is driven by a pinion gear in the crank shaft of the engine, which drives the drum shaft. The machine has a regulating reducing valve, in which the opening is increased or diminished according as the strain on the towing hawser increases or diminishes. In a seaway, as the vessel rises on a wave or sea, thus increasing the strain on the hawser, the drum begins to revolve and to pay out or slack the hawser. This action of the hawser opens the regulating valve and increases the steam pressure in the cylinders and the pressure in sufficient equalize on the hawser. Then, as the strain on the hawser decreases, the pressure in the cylinders will revolve the drum and wind in the slack of the hawser. In this way the machine is prevented from paying out the whole of the hawser and only enough is paid out to relieve the extra and momentary strain on the line and thus prevent its injury or breaking. The regulating valve, which admits and cuts off the steam to and from the cylinders, is entirely automatic and requires no handling whatever. An independent admission valve is provided, by which steam is admitted to the cylinders and the hawser lengthened and shortened at will. The collars Brutus and Caesar and the thigh ship Glacier are to tow the Dewey. The tug Potomac is to be used partly as audder or the dock when necessary and for emergencies. The Potomac will run on sea ornards, such as putting into ports for supplies. In addition to the great nine thousand pound anchors there are four mushroom or "umbrella" anchors of four thousand pounds on the Dewey. These are designed as the Defective Page permanent anchors of the dock, and are to be used on each corner. To each of the great anchors are 125 fathoms of 24-inch chain cable. The amount of gear is charnous, for the great bridges for the dock are in quadruplicate and are in addition to the towing hawkers, regular and extra, and the regular and extra chains for the anchors. The dock is thirty-seven men all told on the dock. In the complement are three engineers, a wireless telegraph operator, and an electrician, four men, twelve seamen a steward, a cook and two mess boys. The dock carries 400 tons of coal, designed for the use of the dock machinery only. It is generally calculated that the Dewey will make about 100 miles a day, which would require 124 days for the passage, or four months, if the dock goes straight through without a stop. It is believed, however, that the dock will be five or six months on the cruise. The cost of the trip can only be surmised. The Boston Towboat company付 $25,000 for taking the dock Algerius from Baltimore to New Orleans, and there was an insurance on the dock of $50,000 for the voyage. CK WITH A BATTLESHIP OF THE IOWA ENTERING THE SUD It is current report that the dues through the Suez canal will be $50,000. The Dewey was built at the plant of the Maryland Steel company, in a great excavation near the water front, just outside of Baltimore. When it was completed a bulkhead that separated the Patapsco from the hole in the ground was cut away and the huge mass of steel, while also Maundicott, daughter of Rear Admiral Endicott, christened the dock the Dewey with a bottle of champagne. The dock was not only completed ahead of contract time, but in excess of the requirements, it will lift a 20,000 ton battle ship, whereas the contract called for only 16,000 tons. It also exceeded the speed requirements in lifting a ship. When the big cruiser Colorado was placed in the dock to test it in the Paxentex river the contract called for the lifting in four hours. The Colorado was lifted until her keel was six minutes more than two hours. Then the dock broke all records by lifting the battle ship low: of 16,000 tons, with heavy weights in her turrets amidships, in one hour and thirty-seven minutes. The Aligiers dock, also built by the Maryland Steel company, will lift 17,500 tons and is the second largest afloat. The other big docks of the world are the Bermuda dock, built in England, 545 feet long and 100 feet wide, lifting only 16,000 tons; the Pola dock, owned by the Australian government, 600 feet long, with a capacity of 15,000 tons, and the Stetin dock, owned by Germany, 510 feet long and lifting 11,000 tons. A novel feature of the dock is its ability to dock itself. All steel vessels take on a marine growth on their bottoms, which necessitates hauling them out every year or so, as their life depends on receiving paint to protect the hulls. Docks now afloat are so gigantic that they cannot be docked to be cleaned or repaired, with the exception of the Dewey. The Dewey can release the two side walls and disconnect the three pontoons that are joined together in the flooring or hull. Then the two smaller pontoons are filled with water and sunk under the larger or centre pontoon. They are then pumped out, and the two smaller steel pontoons rise with the larger one on top of them. When it is desired to dock the smaller pontoons the conditions are reversed. The big centre pontoon is sunk and the two smaller ones placed on it, and the big one pumped out to raise the little ones. When heavy weather comes on at sea the bottom sections of the Dewey will be filled with water until the body of the mass of steel is submerged and only the side walls extend above the surface to the wind, which, it has been calculated, may reach a pressure of thirty pounds to the seashore. There will be no effort to tow the vessel while it is partly submerged. The towing vessels will simply hang on, drifting along with the giant where the wind chooses to send it, and waiting until the storm blows itself out, for our headway can be made with such a tow in heavy weather. Three 24-inch centrifugal pumps, the steam for which is furnished by three separate 225 horse power Babcock & Wilcox boilers, will pump out or flood the Dewey. These pumps are controlled in the engine room, the port side, forward, is the valve house, where these are twenty-four levers. The three sections of the dock are divided into sixty water tight compartments, and each of these levers controls the flooding and THE GEORGIA CLASS 55 ON THE BLOCKS FROM JAMES ENGINEER PHOTO BY GROENINGER MERGED DOCK pumping of several compartments. A telephone gives communication with the boiler room and a pneumatic valve house announces the amount of water in the dock. On the starboard side is a machine shop, quarters for officers and crew kitchen and bathrooms. The machine shop is forward. It is fitted with evaporation appliances for minor repairs. On this side the dock is the distilling apparatus, which has a capacity of 2,500 gallons of sea water a day. It will be used principally for feeding the boilers. Three tanks contain the distilled water. An electric light plant on the port side gives light for the entire structure. Running clear through the side walls of the dock is a thorough ventilating system, a large fan whirling fresh air into every corner. It is propelled by steam. Ventilators are thus dispensed with, except over the boiler room, where there are two. At the forward end of the dock a bridge connects the walls. Two life boats are carried. The members of the crew will get double pay and free passage home. THE MONSTER DEWEY. 500 feet long. 134 feet wide. Cost $1,300,000. Height of side walls 63½ ft. Holds a 24,447 tons warship.

Capers did everything in his power to prevent the appointment of Dr. Crum as collector of the port of Charleston and was an all around enemy of the race. For the first time in the history of the Congress of the United States the officers and leaders of that body have interceded in behalf of a member who is threatened with defeat. The unique spectacle was witnessed this week of the circulation of a petition of appeal to the voters of the Eleventh Ohio urging them to stand fast and send Charles H. Grosvenor back to Congress. This petition recites the great services Gen. Grosvenor has performed in behalf of the Republican party not only in his district and his state, but the nation at large. It calls attention to his influence in the House, a position won after years of experience that devalues that to defeat him would impace national loss upon the Republican party. ly has before, while the Senators were congratulating Dewep on his return.

Howard H. Williams has filed a petition in bankruptcy. His assets are placed at $1000; and his liabilities at $1400. Williams was a director of the defunct Banc of Savings Bank now in the hands of receivers and alleged to be insolvent. Senator Camm Patteson has introduced in the Virginia legislature that the levies for public school purposes collected from white people shall be apportioned to the white schools, and the levies collected from the Afro-American population to the Afro-American schools. It may be said that there is no breach in the cordial relations between Senator Cullom and Senator Hopkins, newspaper reports to the contrary notwithstanding. No decision has been reached and nothing will be done until after Senator Cullom's return from the Senate. It will be done will be the result of cordial agreement between the senators. According to the best information to be had, the President will reappoint James S. Clarkson, formerly of Iowa, as surveyor of the port of New York. It was stated at the White House Tuesday that no official announcement made there that Gen. Clarkson worked with the American government had even a hint of that kind been given. The services of Gen. Clarkson, it is stated, have been satisfactory and his record good. It is stated at the White House that the story that the Afro-Americans would not be given any more federal appointments is untrue.

He made a stirring speech to his countryman that was construed by the government as seditious and treasonable, and poisoned. The United States, so Crazy Snake asserts, was grossly misinformed by Pleasant Creek, Afro-American, adopted into the Creek Nation and now chief of the whole people.

Your tue southerner doesn’t cave one cent whether the Republican party is lilywhite or piteh black, in any shape or manner he hates it like poisor. “And the idea that the edit vated Afro-American should vote while his own illiterate clansmen stand. by and look on is to him galland worm: wood NOT AS PAINTED. | A sreat many of the reports in dis- pavagement of the Afro-Americans 01 the South are the production of tin horn politicians or of transportation agents working up a big job. When We can get the testimony of actual business men who have no ax to grind it is usually quite favorable. ‘The fol lowing are samples: “A country merchant down in_my State told me recently that his best Customers were Afro-Americans,” said R. M. Jones, of Memphis, at the Ral cigh, “He sells them dry goods and gro ceries on long eredit, and he told. me that it is very uncommon to have them defanit in the settlement of their ac counts, “OF eourse. in the majority of cases he has a lien on their erops, bt Jin many cuses he sells them without security of any Kind.

They have a certain quickness of, mentality. but they have nothing like’ the indus ‘trial efficiency of the Afro-American population of the United States.” “Aud here is a sample of the kind of material which the _ transportation South El Paso, Tex—The cold weather i driving thousands of tramps. south who are assaulting trainmen, burning property. and imperiling. lives.

The child is taken from it mother's knee and placed in the pr mary department and kept there a short time and then rushed and jam med into grade after grade until he finishes the high school, He. tren 4oes to college and the same old rou tine is followed. ‘That is the Anished product.

Of the children who attend the public schools, only one-twentieth fin ish the primary course, much less at tend the high school or college. Mr Paddock’s statement, upon which he bases his argument, is preposterously false, bearing no resemblance to the truth, And his conclusion is. equally erroneous. And it is almost too ridiet lous to be worth contradicting: fo thousands of high school and college graduates are not absolutely useless but begin. at once, to make independ oiit livings, and to fill places of great importance in the community. ‘They are the men who are filling our pulpits condueting our schools, managing ow great industrial enterprises and. pro ducing our books and newspapers Mr. Paddock ought to deliver his nex! lecture in Timbuctod. ‘The information conveyed in one of Mr. William E. Curtis’ letters that “Tong displaces Wu" is very interest. ing because it means something, Mr Curtis gives the following account of AM, ‘Tong: “For several _years—particularly since the Boxer troubles—he has been privately and publicly admontshing his fellow-countrymen concerning their du: ty to themselves and their race, and urging thep not to submit to foreign dictation ‘and. discrimination ans longer. He has been preaching the eqpality of races and the doctrine that a Chinese is as good as any American, or Buropean or Asiatic, and is entitled fo the same consideration at the hands Of the other nations of the world.” Col. Estill, the owner of the Savan- nai Morning News’ has entered the guternatorial race in Georgia with the fellewing platform: “My platform other than the Constt- tution and laws of Georgia is an im partial enforcement of the laws and the treatment of all pecple’and every Interest with justice and fairness.” ‘This sounds very nice, but as there are many infamous laws on the statute book, laws which disrimin. ate against the Afro-American, it is difficult for the brother-in-black to see where Estill is any mora to be desired than Rowell or Hoax Smith. ‘The Caucasian fakers of New York are selling cternal @ife of at least a mysterions compound which they as: sert has the power of raising the dead, ‘The concern known as the Force, of Life and Chemical Company has pa- tients to the number of a million in all portions of the United States. ‘The importance of good reading mat- ter for the young cannot be overesti- mated. The growing mind should be given pure food. The Youth's Com- panion, vublished by Perry Mason & Co. at Boston, Mass., is the best publt- cation in-the world for young people. it should be in every home.

I will also show that the trustees, as a board, never had any of the people with the Bishop or the Presiding Elder, every charge was filed by individuals.

ANCIENT BEDS TOO SUMPTUOUS Beautiful and Imposing They Were But Not Comfortable In old times beds were very sumptuous articles of furniture, and the gift of one in a will represented in many cases a large sum of money, the bedstead with its fittings frequently having cost several hundred pounds. In Elizabeth's time and earlier, bedsteads were imposing collections of oak, richly carved in all manner of quaint device, with, perhaps, a grinning satyr peering from behind a pillar, sufficiently grotesque to murder the slumers of the most sommelian. Those were the days, too, of heavy silken hangings, valances and quilts, all richly embroidered in silk and old silver thread with heavy bullets, fringes to add weight and majesty. Such beds may be seen in some of the valuable collections at the museums and at English country seats, such as Warwick castle and other notable old places. To modern eyes they compare very unfavorably, despite their intrinsic value, with the simple, dainty beds of modern times. DREW ADMIRATION OF RUSKIN. Alpine Bird Compelled Thought of Writer and Philosopher. While among the dark, pine preciences of the Chartreuse hills, one day, the famous John Ruskin saw for the third time what he thought the most wonderful of all Alpine birds—a gray, fluttering, stealthy creature, about the size of a sparrow, but of colder gray and more graceful, which haunts the sides of the fiercest torrents. He wrote: "There is something more strange in it than in the sea-gull—that seems a powerful creature, and the power of the sea not of a kind so strong, so hopelessly destructive. But this small creature, silent, tender and light, like a moth in its low and irregular flight, almost touching with its wings of waves that would overthrow the granite wall, and haunting the hollows of the black, cold, herbless rocks that are continually shaken by their spray, has perhaps the nearest approach to the look of a spiritual existence I know in animal life." The Humming Bird Scientifically humming birds are "trochilidae," and those who make a special study of them are "trochilidae"—although the birds are not identical with the old Greek "trochilus" or "runner" bird, which, according to Herodotus, entered the laws of ancient crocodile and obliged its big friend by plucking lice from his throat. The Spanish name for the humming bird is "tominejo"—meaning a third of a dram, and referring, of course, to the bird's minutesness. But the prettiest names are those, such as the French "froutrou," which refer to the humming noise sometimes produced by the almost incredibly rapid vibration of the wings. "Purring with the wings," Thomas Morton (1632), the first English writer to mention the humming bird. Arctic Expedition Amusements In the British arcite expedition of 1875 one of the chaplains had a file of the London Times twenty years old containing the Crinean war reports. One copy was given out to each ship daily; the officers had it first, then it went to the forecastle, and soon every one was as keen about the news as if the war had been proceeding. The clergyman in control of the press was besought to issue an evening edition, and when Sebastopol was about to be taken excitement ran so high that the newspaper office, a locker, was almost stormed. The editor, however, was firm, and continued with his daily issue, the interest was kept up to the end of the expedition. American Safety Devices In spite of the fact that the United States lead the world in the invention of safety devices it has been shown that we stand first in the record of accidents. The proportion of miners killed here is nearly three times as great as in France and about double that in other European countries. For every five men killed by accident in this country there are only three in all the nations of Europe combined. It is claimed that with all our quickness we can prevent accidents for safety we are slow to adopt them and that many American inventions of this kind find their first recognition in Europe—Hartford, Conn.

I have become hardened to a girl with eyes like violet lips like cherries and hair like spun gold; though such a one must be a creature fit only for a dime museum. But here is Ponson de Terail, my favorite French feuilletonist, who says, "The man's hands were cold and clammy, like those of a serpent, and 'The count walked up and down the garden reading the newspaper with his hands behind his back.' Now, wouldn't that jar you?" Would Kill What He Could Would Kill What He Could. The following anecdote is told concerning Edward Sharpe, a shoemaker by his father, a water, Mass. At the outbreak of the civil war he was called upon to defend his country in the army. At the time of enlistment and examination he was asked if he preferred the infantry, "Well, he replied, 'I hate much of a man,' but I'll go and kill what I can.

Surely Not in Boston Henry James, the novelist, narrated at a Boston dinner party a conversation that he had overheard at afternoon noon. "It was a conversation," said Mr. James, "between a young book clerk and an older one. It occurred in a book shop devoted to the sale of the most popular and newest fiction. "The younger clerk approached the older anxiously. "Say, he whispered, 'there's a woman here wants Spencer's poems:' "Is it Herbert Spencer's poems?' the more experienced clerk asked me. "Yes, said the other. 'What shall I tell her?' "Tell her we haven't 'cm,' said the older clerk." Modernized. "They've taken it down and put up a sign, 'Accommodation to Man and Automobile.'

HAS HUMAN ADVERTISING CARD Chicagoan Has Found Novel Way to Increase Business A young and energetic coal merchant of the northwest side has invented a new way to advertise his business. It is probably the most modern one of its kind, and to say the least, it is attractive to the eye—especially to those of the masculine persuasion. A petition is a petite brunette of nineteen summers, as pretty as a fairy queen, and the only fear of the coal merchant is that some of his cushions, will marry her and take her away before he can amass a fortune at the coal business by having her in the office as a drawing card. This young man is the employer of the "human advertising card" and the owner of the fuel store said that he concluded previous to buying the place that the only thing that would draw trade would be a beautiful young girl in the office whose sole duties were to show the know and look happy. But her orders started at her new appointment were these: "Do not flirt; sit and look wise." This is all the young woman has to do all day, as the energetic young coal merchant attends to all the office duties. Of course, there is no danger of the employer becoming infatuated with his help. Several sign painters have called at the place demanding that she join their union, alleging for a reason that her presence in the office does away with the necessity of lettering, the windows. —Chicago Chronicle $2.

The Approval of Millions of People Confirmed by the World's Greatest Exposition. ANCIENT LEGAL TOME VIRGINIA CLAIMS OLDEST LAW BOOK IN AMERICA. Brought to America 272 Years Ago by the Rev. John Cotton, its History Is Clearly Traced as it Has Passed From Father to Son. The oldest law book in all America, brought to this continent by the man who named the city of Boston, is turning yellow with each added year of age on a library shelf in the home of a distant son of its original owner here. The book, which must be handled with caution now, lest its leaves crumble, was brought to America 272 years ago this fall. It came because Rev. John Cotton was too porunlific in his tastes to suit the authorities of the Church of England. As vicar of St Botolph's church, Boston, Lincolnshire, he was summoned to appear before Archbishop Laud. Rather than appear, he fled to America. Among his other books was this old "Collection of the Statutes from the Time of the Magna Charta unto the Yere of Our Lord 1574." It has been handed down from son to grandson until it has reached the fifth generation, and it is now held by Col. Samuel Stors Cotton of this city, a man more than 85 years of age. The book at its last birthday was 331 years of age. Nearly three centuries ago John Cotton was pastor of the largest church in Great Britain. When he came to America the party of colonists with him who landed at Boston resolved to name the new town for him in honor of his old home town. The American encyclopedia tells of this incident, under the head of "Boston." Cotton was a prominent antagonist of Roger Williams. En route to the new world a son was born to John Cotton and his wife. The son was named "Seabearne," in honor of the voyage. This book became Seabearne's property at manhood, and at his death it went to his son, John. Thomas was the son of John, who got the valuable volume, and Simon received it at his father's (Thomas death. It is Simon's name which is scrawled across the title page:) "Simon Cotton, His Book, 1774." Joseph Cotton, another New Englander, became the possessor of the book after his father, Simon, and Joseph's son grew up to seek a fortune in the new west. He came to Nebraska when houses were unknown. And with him he brought his old book. This was Samuel Storrs Cotton, later Col. Cotton. Traced back beyond John Cotton, the family tree extends directly to the famous Robert Bruce. Four generations are now living in Norfolk—Col. Cotton; his daughter, Mrs. Mary Mathewson; her son, J. Storrs Mathewson, and his little daughter. One of the facts justifying the statement that this is the oldest law book in America is that Col. Cotton has searched in libraries all over the country, both personally and by letter, and has practically established the fact that this is the oldest in the land—Norfolk, Va., special in New York World. Pete Boulin's Own Note A thrifty Frenchman named Poulin, who owned a small farm near Carthou, Me., occasionally would borrow small sums from a leading merchant in town, always giving his note without indorsement, always paying it promptly, and always being obliged to pay a good interest charge for the accommodation. In the spring of 1905 Mr. Poulin heard of a cow he thought was a good one that he could buy for $30, but he did not have the cash, so he applied to the merchant for the amount, but stipulated that he should write the note himself, instead of letting the merchant write it, as had been the custom. This was agreed to, and the following is what he wrote: "For value received I promise to pay thirty dollar in thirty day. The man no come no money he bring the note no good not a dam thing. Pete Poulin." Music Hath Charms. Neighbor with the planla You have a planla with the rubble To have thought that ancient rock—a Lovely thing—The Blue Danube'.

The naphtha companies of the Russian Baku district, not satisfied with the government report as to their losses during the recent riots, have issued a supplementary report of their own. In this they show the actual cost of restoring the industry to its former condition will be at least 40,000,000 rubles—over twice the figure given by the government experts as the total loss. War Office Alds Theater Lord Roberts has opened at Woolwich, a theater, toward the erection of which the British War office, following the example of the admiralty, has contributed. It is to be called the Royal Artillery Theater. It holds 1,200 soldiers and can be converted into a ballroom. Pigeon Finds Way Home. A homing pigeon, five months old, released on the Isle of Man, with others in August, 1903, did not return to Liverpool with the others and was given up as lost. Recently it returned TOWN THAT REALLY IS TOUGH. It's in Wyoming and Whiskey is $10 a Drink Persons arriving from Torrington, a settlement on the North Platte river near the Wyoming-Nebraska line, report that it has become the toughest place in Wyoming, says the Pittsburg Chronicle. A large number of graders is employed in the vicinity of Torrington in the construction of a fifty-mile section of the Pathfinder irrigation project and they make the settlement their headquarters. "Tinhorn" gamblers, sharpers and thugs have flocked to the town and are reaping a harvest from the laborers. Two saloons are doing a relatively enormous business, one having returned its proprietor $10,000 clear profit within three months. In this place, it is said, laborers are drugged, slugged and robbed with little effort at concealment. Laborers will be made stupid with drink, and then will be charged $10 for a single drink. One man secured three drinks for $30, and then was kicked out of the place because he had no more money. Later, in an outburst of philanthropy, the proprietor gave him 35 cents with which to secure a meal. Some of the ditch constructors are understood to stand in with the saloonkeepers and thugs, and to encourage them in robbing the laborers, because the sooner the men go broke the sooner they will return to work. Music Box Something of a Nuisance to Patriotic Englishman. An American doctor built an elegant home; his bathroom was exceptionally beautiful, being of white marble with silver hardware; a music box was concealed in the room. After completion of the home an Englishman came to visit the doctor. Now, the English always show great respect for their sovereign and their country, and this one was no exception. After showing his home to the Englishman, the doctor remembered the fondness English people have for the bath, and escorted his guest to the bathroom, and while there turned on the music box, wishing to give his guest a pleasant surprise as he bathed. Then he left his friend in the bathroom. About an hour later the Englishman joined his host in the drawing room. The doctor immediately asked what his guest thought of the bathroom. The Englishman replied: "It is beautiful, beautiful." "Well," said the doctor, "how did you like my music box?" Said his guest with great disgust in his tones: "Bah! That music box! The darned old thing played 'God Save the King', and I had to stand up the whole time I was trying to bathe."—San Francisco Chronicle. Lobster's Bad Character. The Scotch fishery board in its twenty-third annual report gives the following as the characteristics of the lobster. It is an essentially surly, suspicious and unsociable fish, and regards anything that comes near it as its foe. The main motive of its activity is defense, and in defending itself it manifests a blind and unrelenting vengeance. It procures a hole in which to wait for its prey, and to which to retire after a fight, and it is then unsafe for any animal to approach it. Its keenness of attack and retentive hold when once it has gripped its antagonist are due to its want of sight. The eye of the lobster is so sensitive that strong light blinds it. Although it possesses keen sight when first hatched, the lobster is practically blind later in life. It sees nothing properly, but simply has the sensation of light and shadow. It tests a shadow with its antennae, and sometimes when a strong shadow is cast on it, the lobster will leap at it on the off-chance that it is a foe. The fighting tendency makes it difficult to keep lobsters in confinement. When once they have settled down, however, they will live at peace with one another, but it is only an armed neutrality, and if one of the fish ever loses its fighting power it is at once attacked by the others.—American Shipping.

"The man reminded me," he said, "of a Sunapee farm hand at a Christmas feast. "The leading farmer at Sunapee gave a grand Christmas dinner to his forty helpers. "There was roast turkey, roast goose, cranberries, pumpkin and mince pies, hot doughnuts with hot maple sugar, plum pudding—a feast. "And before a certain tall and strong farm hand a platter containing two ducks was set for carving. "The farm hand looked at the ducks. Then he took one up on a fork and extended it to the man next to him. "Here," he said "you take this. One's all I can manage!"
