The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3-Its correspondents are able and energetic. GOV.-ELECT STUART ANSWERING LETTERS OF CONGRATULATION The second of American commonwealths will soon have for its chief executive officer a man who began life with but 2 cents to rub together as an errand boy, at a time of life when most boys are hardly more than started in their school career. Edwin S. Stuart, who has just defeated, snowed under it might be more properly said, Lewis Emery, Jr. the candidate of the reform party, in one of the fiercest battles for the governorship Pennsylvania has ever known, goes into the governor's chair principally because of the fact that he is the most popular man in the state. Many Republicans had little liking for those who were identified as leaders of the party that elected him. The evils of Bosses Quay and Penrose had the effect in recent elections of alienating many thousands of voters who are strongly Republican on national occasions. A majority of half a million for Research was turned into a minority of 100,000 when Berry, a Democrat, was elected state treasurer in 1905. Undoubtedly the Republican ticket, with the same political managers or bosses at the helm, would have been downed again this year but for the personality of Stuart. Just as soon as the danger became imminent, party leaders turned to Stuart as the one man who could save them. "Everybody knows Ned," they said. "He's popular with all classes, and his honesty has never been questioned. Let us nominate him." Mr. Stuart was not anxious for the place. Called to the aid of his party, he could not refuse. His election followed. Not only were the dissatisfied Republicans won over, but Democrats quit party allegiance in order to vote for him. This is the man. No one would ever have expected the boy to go that far. There was nothing auspicious in his start. His father died when he was young, leaving without means of support, a widow and four children, of whom Edwin was the oldest. When only a little fellow, at a time when he should have been getting the education that is the foundation of the success of most public men, the future governor had to go out and hunt a job to help support his mother, brothers and sisters. Fate led him to Leary's book store, a quaint institution even in those days of the Quaker City, much frequented by bibliophiles, and which, save that it has expanded, looks much the same now as it did then. Edwin, hungry and eager for work, presented himself to the proprietor and asked for a job. "What can you do?" "Anything," was the answer. It won the place of errand boy at a salary of $4 a week. Young Stuart not only ran errands, swept out the store and did the chores around the office, but also set an guard to see that no books, freely exposed for sale on the outside, were stolen from the shelves. Soon old Leary began to discover that his new errand boy could indeed do anything, and in a short time his salary was advanced. As he grew, both in stature and the favor of his employer, it was felt safe to promote him to a clerkship, and thus he went up from step to step until he was the trusted head clerk. This did not seem slow progress, but better was in store. Eventually the former errand boy was admitted to partnership and he finally bought out his employer and became sole owner. This might have been expected to be the final achievement of a man whose training had been essentially a business one, who was not versed in law, usually the most easy step to political preferment. In fact Mr. Stuart was dragged into politics, for just the same reason that all of his successive advances have come to him. He was so popular that MR. STUART'S LITTLE NEIGHBORS GREETING HIM MORNING AFTER ELECTION. people sought him out to take places of trust. Before he had been in politics a very long time the proprietor of the old book store was president of the influential organization known as the Young Republicans. He became so popular in this post that the Pennsylvania State League of Republican clubs chose him for his president. He the tall, handsome, cheery, courteous man made friends on all sides and soon became manifest a spontaneous demand to have him for mayor. There was no politics in the movement, it had no manager, no campaign fund, no promoting. Lots of people liked Stuart, and thought him the right man for the place. Eventually they put him there. During the years of his rise, Stuart had been essentially a mother's boy. His affection for his mother was the mainspring of his life, and he remained a bachelor in order to be with her. He is still unmarried. Shortly before his, election to the mayoral of Philadelphia, his mother MR. STUART'S LITTLE NEIGHBOR TER E died, and this spoiled much of the joy of taking a place of such honor. Stuart had a trying administration. It fell to his lot to be mayor when a trusted city treasurer, John Bardley robbed the city of great sums of money. Other offenders of his own party, men who had helped in the movement to make him mayor, were involved. Many a man might have thought it political wisdom to shield the offender, Mr. Stuart had a rugged sense of old fashionl' honesty that was not to be compromised with. He instituted a most rigid investigation, and prosecuted the guilty without fear or favor. As a result John Bardley went to prison. Stuart had also to deal with rapacious trolley companies, but he forced them to concessions in the way of street paving in return for franchises that have made Philadelphia one of the best paved cities in the United States. This was Stuart's record when he left office and went back to private life. Three mayor—Warwick, Ashoridge and Wenner—have ruled in Philadelphia since that time, and Mr. Stuart held no public office in the interval. All during his term of office as mayor he had held onto the old book store, though the active management 1 THE APPEA was intruded mainly to his brother, William H. Stuart. But although the former mayor was willing to escape from the lime-light, his friends still remembered his qualities and his services. Without having been a candidate, he was chosen president of the Union League, perhaps the highest social honor that can come to a Philadelphia. His next highest elevation is the selection to be governor. The governor elect formed the habit of walking to his place of business when he was an errand boy, and could not afford to spend car fare. He has clung to it ever since, and, scoring carriages or automobiles, he walks upown every morning, though he is fully miles away from the center of the city. His tall figure and kindly face are known to every one, and man, woman and child delight to exchange greetings. On the morning after his election the children of the neighborhood, knowing his hour for starting upown, clustered around his step in order to be the first to salute him with the title of "governor." Mr. Stuart is a Mason, a member of the board of city trusts, and a prominent successor. His success shows that a man can come up from nothing, and it proves equally that in the process he can still be kindly and honest, and not row ORS GREETING HIM MORNING AF- LECTION. get the rights or feelings of his fel- twomen. Governor of Rangaprovince Comes Into Valuable Possession. Reports from Rangoon say that the Burmese world has been stirred by the birth of two white elephants not far from Chiengmai. Swamil will also be thrilled, says the London Express. One of the rattles was born in one of the herds of the governor of La kawn, the other in that of a timber merchant. The latter elephant was given to a tiger to eat, as the Burmese say a timber merchant is not allowed to eat elephants, the prerogative of kings and chiefs. The advent of the governor's white elephant was heralded in the most approved Eastern manner. The governor dreamed that innumerable statues of Buddha strolled about his room and sat on his head. He also dreamed that he had to carry the bo tree, under which Gautama attended the omniscience, as well as the throne on which he sat. Next morning the governor called his soothsayers together to interpret his dream, and the old gentlemen were rubbing their noses and looking up at the ceiling for explanations when he walked in and admired that a white elephant had been born. The soothsayers were at once able to explain that the governor's dream meant that he was to be a person of power. The white elephant, protected with a white umbrella, was escorted into the town with regal pomp, attended by several companies of elephants and horses, while a band played and hundreds of people marched along. The elephantine baby is described thus: "His skin is of a pale straw color, his hair is white like unto silver needles, his palate and tongue are quite red, his eyes resemble rubles of the purest water. He is a perfect white elephant." A Fish Tale of the Mouse. An angler in the River Mouse in Belgium, while fishing recently, felt a light bite as he was pulling in his line. Then there was a second pull, and just as the fish was appearing on the water, an enormous pike made a spring at it, and went off with his prey and 100 feet of line. After much trouble it was wound in, and the astonished angler found that he had caught first a perch of about one pound weight and well on the book, then a pike of four pounds, which he followed the perch then a pike of thirteen pounds weight who had seized on the smaller pile in his endeavor to wrest the perch from him. Defective Page THE ONLY ORIGINAL HOMER HEAD IN AMERICA. An imaginary likeness in ancient marble of the poet who begged his bread through Greek cities three thousand years ago. It is the work of a late Greek sculptor, and has been declared on good authority to surpass every other of its kind. Including the famous head in Naples. With thousands of Americans going abroad every year to visit the art galleries of the Old World, it is interesting to note that Europeans who come to this country often express surprise at the excellence of our art collections, of which nearly all of any consequence have been gathered with great galleries of Europe, represent some of the stances the growth of centuries, while the really important permanent exhibitions of works of painting, sculpture and the applied arts in this country have been made since 1870. In that time so rapid has been the advance that predictions are already heard of a day when European students will visit American galleries for the purpose of becoming acquainted with some of the most important of the institutions at the Metropolitan Art Institute Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Corcoran Art Gallery in Washington and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston have already gained international reputation, while Philadelphia, through the consolidation of the John G. Johnson, William L. Elkins and P. R. B. Widener collections is destined very shortly to have one of the most notable museums of the world at a time, in smaller cities, there has been an opening, so that the place of 100,000 inhabitants without some kind of an art collection open to the public is exceptional. While, American museums have necessarily drawn largely upon the treasures of the Old World in building up their collections, it has remained for this country to take the lead in providing a suitable setting for art treasures. A new point of view in the housing of the great collections forming in this country appears in plans which have recently been adopted in Boston for a group of buildings to accommodate the Museum of Fine arts, founded in 1870 and situated for many years past in an ornate structure fronting of Copley square hardwood buildings by Biltmore. The new museum will, it is said, be the most perfectly designed institution to be held in the world. When, three years hence, removal from the present overcrowded and unsuitable building has been made possible, the immense treasures in the keeping of the museum will be housed as art collections never were before and entirely in a' way to make them accessible to the American public. The modern art museum is much more than a collection of painting and sculpture gathered at random. It covers so wide a range, both in time and place, that its collections become an epitome of ancient and modern civilization as revealed in art. There are objects, for example, in the Boston museum which were fashioned when the ancient civilization in the valley of the Nile was still at its dawn. Visitors see statuettes in limestone and wood which were carved and painted 30 years before the birth of Christ. Of these, the most famous accession, the carapachos of King Thothmes I, who lived from 1440 to 1515 B. C. The great stone, one of the first to be so used, which was hollowed out to receive his remains and was covered with quintal carving, was found in 1903-4 in the tomb of his daughter, Queen Hatshepsut, in the Valley of the Kings at Thebes. Together with treasures discovered in excavations on the banks of the Nile are others which represent the art of China and Japan from early times to the present.

Often as the Father of His Country posed, this unfinished portrait by Gilbert Stuart, now in the Boston museum, has always been regarded as the best—all the other Stuart "Washington's" are replicas of this one. keeping are equalled only in the Imperial Museums of Japan, while the museum of Japanese pottery, made by Prentice and S. Moore, is more completely representative of the pottery of the island kingdom than the acquisitions of all other museums of the world combined. In Buddhist sculpture the museum is rich, and out of many examples one may especially be selected, a beautiful example of Japanese art dating back to the eight century, a bronze statuette of Kwannon, angel of mercy. It is especially to the collection of original works in Greek art contained in the Museum of Fine Arts that the visitor's attention should be directed. Owing to the difficulty of getting original works, American museums have often been obliged to present Greek art through the medium of plaster casts and other reproductions. The wide popularity of casts and the almost total absence of original works has caused many persons to form a definite but false idea of Greek art, the more subtle qualities of which cannot be added to original productions. In view of these facts it is a phase of congratulation that so many phases of Greek art may be studied in Boston by means of original collections of the first rank both for comprehensiveness and beauty. The collection of marbles is also extremely choice. Among the marbles thus referred to, three in particular should be noticed. The first is a head of Homer, the only one in this country of these portrait heads which have come down from antiquity. It is believed by many critics to outrank the famous head in Naples, which high school pupils are familiar with in text books. The second marble is a colossal head of Zeus found in Asia Minor, and which may have been worked by Athenian sculptors; employed on the famous tomb of Mausolos (from whose name we derive the word mausoleum). To us, however, its chief interest lies in the fact that it is a copy, and the only one now known in sculpture, of the head of Philidas' great statue of Zeus at Olympia. The third marble statue, of the goddess dite, one of the most charming examples of Greek art in the world and one of the loveliest of all known representations of the goddess. it is life size, sculptured in Parian marble.

Nearly every text book of American history is under indebtedness to the American collections at Boston. In the galleries of the Athenaeum portraits of George Washington and Martha Washington, by art were painted directly from the distinguished sitters, and are hence the standard likenesses of our first president and his wife, since the other Stuart "Washington" are replicas painted from these portraits. The portrait of Samuel Adams is by which this famous leader of the Revolutionary democracy is best known, while the portrait of John Hancock is equally familiar. Ruskin's brilliant championship has given "The Slave Ship," by J. M. W. the permanent place in English literature, the most famous canvases that have historical and literary interest apart from their value as works of art. Among other very famous treasures of the museum is a "Madonna and Child" from the workshop of the della Robbia in glazed terra cotta—a popular and exquisite work which was brought to Boston from Italy about thirty years ago by Charles C. Perkins, one of the most distinguished art critics of the nineteenth century. In the museum's first gallery are two canvases by Velazquez, the greatest of Spanish and by many esteemed the greatest of all the world's painters. That all the important possession of this American museum will be even better known than now through the removal to the new museum, building with its greater opportunities for observation and study is inevitable. --- THE NEW YEAR. She comes in robes of trailing cloud And coronet of stars, From where time's billows rise and crowd Across the foamy bars, Through blades of gray that stretch away Her wild hair floating free She comes to where her kingdom lies By either land or sea. For her the dawn's pale buds of light Are round her pathway thrown, As like a banner in the fight The night is backward blown, And dims also the last lone star As on her charit goes, While in the east the later streaks Grow ruddy as a rose. As some half-moon's faint line, And January's heralds billet In my armor shine, While thine armor froze the frozen rain, That some misname the snow, Has caught a million sun-gilts bright From out the sunrise glow. And glad her face as on she speeds Toward the rising sun. With light of hope and noble deeds And in her eyes the swift surprise And in her eyes the swift surprise A VISIT FROM FATHER TIME I sat alone within my room, with soothing pipe and bowl, to keep out winter's chilling gloom, give rest and ease my soul; the pine lees roared and hissed in glee and warmed my shiv-ring shins, and phantoms seemed to come to me, like grotesque mankins, I'd see Old Year depart his way, the New Year's gentle birth, while watching half-dead embeers play in shadows round the earth. And as I sat I had a guest, who used my bowl and weed, a bony mortal at his best, whose beard had gone to seed! "Here, whiskers!" cried I, "what's your name?" So this punch is prime! Well know to you is my great fame; they call me Father Time. "Well, dad," I said, "don't drink too much, for punch costs like the deuce!" "You let me thirst? If not to touch, wherein then lies its use?" So naught I said, but let him drink to his old heart's content: he did not dream nor even think how punches off resent. And when he got congenial-like, his moods were very queer; he went far back as ancient Tight, then talked Milwaukee beer! He took my pipe and puffed and blew. "Is this Virginia leaf" (I should have hidden it, its true, for Time is but a thief). So now! I said, "I've filled you quite, put down your glass and brew a sketch, let me, the poet, write and swell my revenue." So Time he called, the door flew open, with faltering steps came one whose hair and shoulder slope told me his thread was spun. "I brought you joy," he said, "and wealth, with sorrow, pain and care; some I'll've left, 'tis true, but health has been your greatest share." And as he shambled out of sight he dropped a single tear. I cried to Time, "Who was that fright?" "The fond old foolish Year!" Then raised his voice once more, did Time; an infant gumboilred in, his voice was sweet as any chime and mischievous as sin! The youngster smiled and smote his breast and winked his eyes of blue. "I'll bring you that which men like best—a sweet, fair loss to woo. She will be shy and so deumure! And a fat, plump purse, I guarantee that she will cure the springhail of your verse!" Then off he danced and merrily, and Time cried out: "Doo, thank!" "And who said he?" asked I: "Who, he? Why, thash th' goo New Year!" I glanced at Time, at my howl! —Great guns! its depths had shrank and, as I looked at Time, my soul, but he was merry drunk! "Hurryrush!" he cried; "no fleish on me! I've has' thb' best time out!" And then he poked my sides, did he, too full of pun, no doubt. "Whersm' m glassh? Er (hic) I'm off-oh, shay, wha' alish m' head!" My punch, my punch! I did but scoff, and with a groan he fed. The fire burned low, my punch was cold, the clock near, two had crept; they came and went the New Old —I knew it not, I'd slept! Sparrows' Ald to the Injured. This morning as a sparrow was flying this life it became caught in the window, owl over it, English kitchen and held prisoner by the foot. In a short time other sparrows came to its aid and tried to free it. Finally, one bird caught the prisoner by the wing and a third bird held the wing of the second until a number were engaged in the work. But all their efforts were in vain. A large number of persons were attracted by the sight, and at last Mr. McGee went up and released the small bird.

Everybody knows something about the scareity of labor throughout the counsty and not merely in this coun: try. ‘The Manufacturers’ Record thus depts the situation down South: “The stringeney as to farm labor, due to the demands at better wages from the vailways, the mines and the factories, is indi¢ated in the sugges- tion at Augusta that public and pri vate schools be suspended for a short tine in order that the children. may help to save the cotton crop, while in towns and cities the greatest dif culty 18 had in securing cooks, wash- erwomen and common male labor.” ‘The situation is certainly. deplora- ble, but, to a great extent, it is the di- rect result of the South's shortsight- ed policy in dealing with the laborers and also largely to the increasing in- tellizence of the laborers themselves.

He is refer- ring, uot to the nation at large, but to the Christians and says: “Underlying the pronlem, itso, is the ingrained and ineradicablé Anglo-Saxon sense of superiority to other races.

Not all missionaries conduct them selves toward the Japanese preachers and Christians as toward a man, a brother and an equal. Such men are Yew, but they should be called home.” ‘That “ingrained and ineradicable sense cf superiority” seems to be in terfering with a gcod many of our ar vangements, both at home and abroad It seems to be costing more than it comes to. i Dr. Felix Adler, a Jewish philoso- pher ef New York, deems this an op portune time for him to rush into print with his views upon the race problem; but THE APPEAL doubts as to whether his race, generally, will agree with him upon that point.

The Memphis ‘Commercial-Ap- peal says: “The discontinuance of a play in one of our largest cities’ by the authorities because certain of the characters were Negroes, and this fact hurt the feelings of the Negro resi- dents’ of Philadelphia is an act that savors more of Russia that it does of /a free country.” The C-A ts not tharchistic, but it Is ‘using a standard argument of tae an- archists, and denying a right which has been exercised in innumerable in- ‘stances, which had no relation to the ‘Alro-American, The right of free epeech is sacred, but it has its metes and bounds like all other rights, ‘Phe labor unions we have are or- ganized for the purpose of coercion ‘For that purgose they stand ready to strike and to do all that the word ‘implies.

Heretofore, the South has enjoyed almost complete immunity from the plague of labor unions, and, in her Afro-Americans has had the best, most economical and most tractable labor- Jers upon the face of the earth, But sh has cheated, abused and starved out those laborers until’ they are ‘ly ing from the plantations and seeking in every direstion for employers who Representative McKinley, of Calil- fornia said recently: “I can say in answer to those who speak in favor of the proposition to, confer citizen- ship on the Japanese that in doing this they would amit to suffrage a people 100 per cent lower in the scale than any who haye ever enjoyed it hereto- fore.” | It is eastiy seen that Mr, MeKinley had in mind when he spoke, the Afro- Americans of the South. And it is sertainly true that those Afro-Amert- cans are far better qualified for the elective franchise than a great many of the foreigners who are railroaded ‘into citizenship. ‘The Afro-Americans Jare true Americans in. training—they know nothing but what they have learned in the land of their birth. A dispateh from Utica to the New York Sun gives the followinginforma. tion: “The church trial of the Rev. T. Boyd Gay, former pastor of the Utiea Presbyterian church, opened this morning i “The Rev, Mr. Gay is charged with peeping into the windows of his Reighbors' houses, It is alleged by those who made the charges that the minister generally peeped into the windows in the evening while women were disrobing for the night.” And that remindsTHE APPBAL that among. the “outrages” charged tothe Afro-Americans of Atlanta was one being seen upon the back poreh, peep- ing in.

The affair was strictly private. The testimonial benefit to Prof. J. W. Luca which some ladies attempted to give at Wagner Hall Christmas night proved to be very unsuccessful owing doubtless to stronger attractions. It is hoped they will try again at a more propitious season.

Christmas night there was a finish fight pulled in K. P. Hall between Harry Clarke of St. Paul and Bill Johnson of Chicago under the auspices of the Junior Pioneer Lodge for a purse of $25. The fight was to be held every hour when Clark knocked out his opponent with a solar plexus blow. The loser was paid $10 for his beating. One of the very pleasant affairs of the week was a little Christmas drama entitled "Santa Claus' Honeymoon," which was given by a number of women seen at St. James A. M. E. Church Christmas night under the management of Mrs. H. S. Graves. The acting and singing of the youngsters was wonderful and impressively an audience which filled the church. A very impressive, special Christmas service was held at St. Philips' Church on December 11 at beginning at 11:45. Rev. A. H. Leaoffliciating.

Owens and Miss Josephine Wauhn was solemnized at St. Peter Claver church last Monday morning at 9 o'clock. Miss Wauhn a sister of the bride and the mother of Mr. Wauhn Jackson was groomman. There was a delightful wedding breakfast at the residence of the bride's parents after the ceremony. In the evening the wedding reception was held from 8 to 10 o'clock and a large number of guests attended who spent the evening very pleasantly. A number of handsome gifts were presented to the bride. CORINTHIAN TEMPLE BANQUET. The Swellest Social Function of the Christmas Week. On last Monday night Wagner Hall was the scene of one of the swellest social affairs ever given in it, the occasion being the installation of officers of Corinthian Temple No. 132 for the occasion. Invited guests numbering about one hundred and fifty began to gather early and when at 8:30 o'clock the assemblage was called to order by National Grand Deputy Princess, Mrs. Blanche Charleston there was a veritable bower of feminine beauty before the representatives of the "Loris and Masters of Creation" were to be seen. Rev. A. H. Leatland then gave the closing prayer. The guests then gathered around the room, which was the form of a Roman cross and hand-some set up and decorated and after a blessing by Rev. H. S. Graves they proceeded to discuss the excelent menu which was spread before them in a number of elegant waiters. The banquet lasted until nearly midnight, after which some time was passed in social intercourse and the guests departed in a most dignified manner, with the feast of reason and flow of soul which they had enjoyed. The ladies, heaven bless them, were most handsomely gowned while the gentlemen were resplendent in full dress suits. The affair was great and grand in conception and the manner in which it was carried out will go down in history as one of the most delightful affairs of its kind our city has enjoyed. U. B. F. S.

The show will include past productions that they, or any other show of similar calibre have made and from the most reliable sources we are informed they have played to record business everywhere. A cursory glance at their makeup and costumes will reveal their success and popularity is deserved, as the result of their high class entertainment. The performance consists of an opening and a closing act, interrupted by an Ollo, which contains a number of props. Ezier & Webb, Montgomery, Y. Center, The Moores, George B. Alexander and Potter and Hartwell. With such a coterie of artists, the performance is bound to be an unqualified success. In addition there are numerous musicians, rendered by pretty girls, handsomely costumed; making in all an exhibition of more than an ordinary merit that should prove a potent drawing card. Frank Gotch, America's best singer, will all coners and forfeit. $25.00 to anyone he fails to throw in 15 minutes. The biggest thing in Minneapolis (just as their bills said) was the Porters' and Walters' 'bail Christmas night.

Jarvis, the heeler and saver of soles, 354 Minnesota street, says in one of his street car signs: "I can mend shoes better than I can write," and, if the sign is a fair specimen of his works as a writer, he's right, as he can mend shoes all right if he cannot write all right. THE WORLD'S LONGEST TRESTLE. Through America's Dead Sea Runs a Railroad. Right through Great Salt Lake—the Dead Sea of the New world—runs a railroad. The actual length of this, the longest trestle in the world, is twelve miles. It contains 25,000 plies, the longest single plie being 96 feet and the longest spliced plie 120 feet. The cost of constructing this wonderful piece of railroad was $5,000,000, tnd the time required to build it was three years. At one place in the bed of the lake thousands of cars of rock were emptied without making the least impression in the way of foundation. In riding over this road—right through the beautiful, sparkling Salt Lake—one notices the absence of boats of any kind, although the lake is over one hundred miles in length and seventy miles across at its widest place, and one would think it afforded great attractions for the sailor or carman. But the fact is, rowing or sailing is almost impossible on the surface of this Dead Sea, for it is so very heavy with salt that swimming, is slow and laborious, rendering, therefore, little pleasure for the pains. If one dip up a pal of water from Great Salt lake and lets it stand in the sun till the water evaporates, there will be found one-third of a pal of salt. Hundreds of centuries ago the waters of this great body extended over the thousands of acres of land that surround it now in the form of dry, desolate wastes on which nothing grows, for no animal, vegetable nor fowl life can exist on this one-time salt sea bed. Horns to Call People to Church. "This is a wamp horn," said the antiquary. "The price is $40." The horn, very old and weatherbeaten, was more than six feet long—long and straight, like a coaching horn. "What was its use?" the reporter asked. "It was used to call the people to church on Sunday mornings," said the antiquary. "In the old times church was as common as they are to day. They were so expensive that only the rich churches could afford them. The poorer churches used varnon horns instead. "Every Sunday morning the sexton of the average poor church, 200 years ago, stood on the church porch with a six-foot vamp horn at his lips, summoning the people to worship with hoarse blares. "There are now, about two dozen vamp horns floating about the country. Their ecclesiastical connection makes them valuable to antiquaries."—St. Louis: Globe-Democrat. He knew the Law. A Civil war veteran, several times representative from his own district to the New Hampshire legislature, and at one time speaker of the house, had just returned home from a closing session of the legislature, at which, says a writer in the Manchester Union, the law pertaining to the right of way to pedestrians had been passed. He was crossing the street from his office one day soon after his return when an electric car came bounding along. The motorman, alive to the danger of the veteran, made frantic efforts to attract his attention, and when they failed, shouted: "Look out, major! If you don't get off the track I shall run over you." The major stopped stock still in the middle of the track. "If you do, young man, you'll hang for it," he said, firmly. Announcement Owen Howell, Manager. DOING IN AND ABOUT THE GREAT "FLOUR CITY."

The girls looked just too sweet for anything and the men were fashion plates personified, with the broad ribbons (their club colors) diagonally across their spacious and immaculate shirt and pants, and they too one could well imagine and when the "Templiers' Revelry" was danced the floor joined in with them. It was a great affair. The officers of "The New Comers" are: C. Richards, a committee member; W. Garrett, R. M. Shaw, floor committee; "Bobby" Marshall, treasurer. Queer Shape of a Dog for Which Police Are Asked to Search. Miss Marie B. Potter, the fourteen-year-old daughter of E. C. Potter, a broker at 36 Wall street, who lives at the Country club, Throge Neck, has enlisted the police of the Westchester station, from Captain Gray down to the research chair of her dechound puppy Peanut, who has been missing since Saturday. She calls him Peanut because of his shape. He isn't of particularly high pedigree, but Miss Potter says his character and general excellence is a dog more than make up for his lack of absolutely blue blood. After posting notices, offering $5 reward and no questions asked, and hearing nothing from her dog she wrote an alarm for him. The captain has told every man in the precinct to keep an eye out for Peanut. --- COSMOPOLITAN MUTUAL CASUALTY CO. BRALEY BLOD ST PAUL, MINN O. D. CHARLESTON ..... $10.00 587 W. Central. WM.

"Well, I'm the red headed janitress that your wife's always complaining about.

Cigar Sizes and Colors Few cigar smokers are aware that all cigars are named according to their color and shape. A dead black cigar, for instance, is an "Oscuro," a very dark brown one is a "Colorado," a medium brown is a "Colorado Claro" and a yellowish light brown os a "Claro." Most smokers know the names of the shades from "Claro" to "Colorado," and that is as far as most of them need to know. As to the shapes, a "Napoleon" is the biggest of all cigars—it is seven inches long; a "Perfecto" swells in the middle and tapers down to a very small head at the lighting end; a "Panateia" is a thin, straight up and down cigar without the grace*;) curve of the "Perfecto"; a "Conchas" is very short and fat, and a "Londres" is shaped like a "Perfecto" except that it does not taper to so small a head at the lighting end. A "Reina Victoria" is a "Londres" that comes packed in a ribbon-tied bundle of fifty pieces, instead of in the usual four layers of thirteen, twelve, thirteen and twelve.—Tobacco Journal. Chemistry and Lot's Wife. A professor of chemistry in one of our prominent colleges asked his pupils to bring original questions on chemical changes as part of their next day's lesson. When the time arrived the professor asked the pupils how they succeeded. One young man, with a twinkle in his eye, raised his hand. "Well, what is the question?" asked the professor. "What two chemical changes did he wife of Lot undergo?" The professor, who prided himself on his knowledge of chemistry, was puzzled. At last he confessed that he did not know. "First she turned to rubber and then she turned into a pillar of salt," said the funny student. She Won Easily. "The late Hezekiah Butterworth," said a Boston journalist, "had a high opinion of woman's wits. He liked t prove woman man's superior in fancy, in humor, in retort. "He related one day to me a quarrel between a married couple that he had overheard in the subway. "There is no calamity that can be fall a woman that I have not suffered," the woman said in a bitter voice. "There you are wrong, Jane, the husband replied. 'You have never been a widow.' "She frowned at him as she rejoined: "I said 'calamity,' sl." Public "Fraid Hole." The approach of the tornado season, coupled with the fact that several severe storms have visited Oklahoma later, has resulted in a movement to build a public "fraid hole" at Ridgway. All hands turned in to help in the excavating, and a subscription paper was passed around to get money enough to buy the material for its completion. It is to be ten feet wide by twenty long, and it is proposed to fit it up with electric light, and fan ventilators. In Southwestern Oklahoma, especially, the memory of the Snyder disaster last year is still fresh, and at every threatening looking cloud the people take to their storm cellars—Kansas City Journal. An Ancient Bock A descendant of the ancient Babylonians, Mrs. Annie Najarian, of Nashua, N.

The Animal Learned His Lesson When Deceived by Old Lady. Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland has been pluckly fighting a law infringing street railway. He tore up some of the railway's tracks, an injunction was served against him, and then he in his turn secured another injunction. "We are like the old lady and the dog, with our injunctions and mandamuses and what not," said Mayor Johnson the other day. "There was, you know, an old lady who rented a furnished villa for the summer, and with the villa a large dog also went. "In the sitting room of the villa there was a comfortable armchair, The old lady liked this chair better than any other in the house. She always made for it the first thing. "But alas! she nearly always found the chair occupied by the large dog. "Being afraid of the dog, she never dared bit it harshly to get out of the chair, as she feared that it might bite her; but instead she would go to the window and call 'Cats!' "Then the dog would rush to the window and bark, and the old lady would slip into the vacant chair quietly. "One day the dog entered the room and found the old lady in possession of the chair. He strolled over to the window, and, looking out, appeared much excited, and set up a tremendous barking. "The old lady rose and hastened to the window to see what was the matter, and the dog quietly climbed into the chair." CATCHES DEER AND TROUT. Fisherman Breaks the Record for One Line in a Day's Sport. To kill a deer and catch a trout at the same time Out-Nimrods and out-izaacs Walton. A fisherman has just done the trick on the Arrow lakes says the Toronto Globe. The deer weighs 200 pounds and the trout ten. The fisherman was trolling for trout when several deer swam past his boat. One was an old buck and the man happened to catch hold of him as he was going by. Having no gun, he tried to kill him with a claspknife. The buck objected so strenuously that he got away, swimming off with the fishing line about his horns. The fisherman baled out his boat and started in pursuit. After two hours' rowing he caught up with the deer and with oars and knife succeeded in slaying it. While the chase was proceeding a big trout got on the hook and after the deer was safely landed the fish was secured. It is quite a common occurrence to see deer swimming in the lakes of British Columbia, but to capture one and a trout at the same time is infrequent. GIRLS TURN THE RASCALS OUT. Polite Little Maids Supplant Rude Small Boys as Caddies Young women addicted to golf are securing young girls as caddies. So there's another masculine occupation changing hands. The players say they never had a boy attendant yet who didn't either giggle, laugh, exclaim or criticise when the golfer made an off hit. The boys, too, were apt to run off after stray squirrels or else were too busy to come at the very time their services were most desired. According to Good Housekeeping, those who have tried girls find them more respectful, more companionable and more conscientious. Their strength seems equal to that of the boys, while their manners are decidedly more soothing. Poaching by Motor Cycle After all the motoring burglars run a risk. They may come to grief, as a couple of poachers did on Lord Londesborough's land the other day—men more ingenious than themselves. The story was told at Sleaford, says the Pall Mall Gazette. These poachers had a motor cycle with a basket trailler. The latter had been fitted with a box to hold twenty hares and a trained dog, the machine itself with guns concealed among the works. Thus equipped in an up-to-date way, they set out briskly for the happy hunting ground and turned the dog loose. What they had provided for happened; they were chased by keepers. But when they reached the wreched motor it refused to start, and of course it has been escheated like any other poaching implement. It is 10 p. m. They are seated in the parlor. "No," she says, bowing her head, "Pa says I am too young to become engaged." IL It is just 1:30 a. m. They are still seated in the parlor. Suddenly, from somewhere upstairs, a gruff voice shouts: "Henrietta, if that fellow waits a little longer you'll be old enough to accept his proposal." How She Hooked Him. "Oh, Mr. Brown," twittered the lady, who was indeed somewhat older than he. "I—I might if you'd ask me properly!" Britain's Export of Linen Goods.
