Wichita Searchlight

THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT Dr. B. T. Washington Tuskegee Educator. The Assault Occured Several Months ago, and Ulrickat that time told contradictory stories of what Dr. B. T. W Tuskegee The Assault Occurred ago, and Ulricka contradictory s New Yok City, Oct. 21.—Harry A. Ulrich, the drunken thug, who so brutally attacked Dr. Booker T. Washington, the Tuskegee educator, on a public street in this city last March, was "brought to book" in the Court of Special Sessions, Part V, today, Judges Zellers, Mayo and Ryan presiding. Dr. Washington was in court to prosecute Ulrich; present also were his secretary, Emmett J. Scott; Chas. W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue for the Second District of New York; Fred W. Moore, editor and publisher of the New York Age; Ralph W. Tyler, Auditor for the Nevy Department, Washington, D. C.; George M. Harris, of the Amsterdam News, and other of Dr. Washington's friends. The people of the State of New York were represented by Assistant District Attorney James E. Smith. Dr. Washington's personal attorney, Wilford H. Smith, was present as consulting attorney. Ulrich has continued to have this case delayed each time it has been called for trial, hoping that Dr. Washington would drop the prosecution; today, through his counsel, he again pleaded for delay, claiming that he had not been able to get his witnesses in court—that despite the fact that he has been seven months to do so. District Attorney Smith opposed the motion, claiming that Ulrich had no witnesses, and that his plea for delay was simply an effort to avoid the consequences of his brutal and uncalled for assault. The judges decided they would give him one more chance, and have set the case down for trial Monday, November 6. Dr. Washington has notified the District Attorney's office that he will cancel the series of engagements that he has for Wisconsin and the West, made long since, so as to be in court and prosecute Ulrich. The assault occurred several months ago, and Ulrich at that time told contradictory stories of what led to it. To the police he said that he had taken Dr. Washington for a burglar, but to the reporters he said that Dr. Washington had insulted Mr. Ulrich, his wife. Ulrich, however, was never married to the woman he claimed was his wife, and the real wife of Ulrich, Phone Market 5256 Dr. J. E. Farmer Physician & Surgeon, 219 W. Elm St. Wichita, Kansas. who lives in New Jersey, and was deserted by him several years ago, confronted him in court when he was today arraigned for trial. AN IDEAL ENTERTAINER.

My dear Sister: It was with the deepest sorrow that I learned of your great and overflowing grief and the loss which we have all sustained in the death of your well-known and justly well-beloved husband. We shall all miss him. I should have written sooner but the press of business and not the best of health have delayed my writing. Kindly accept my deepest and most heartfelt sympathy. My prayer is that you may be able to meet your bereavement heroically and come out of it more than conqueror. Do not be discouraged. There are many, many bright days in store for you. Women of your ability, worth and character rise triumphantly over all disappointments and discouragements. A good woman cannot be kejt down. Take new courage. Into each life some must fall. Some days must be dark and dreary. But behind the clouds the sun is still shining. After all, when we come to count the blessings God has given us, they outnumber the non-blessings. So cheer up, my sister, and go boldly forward to meet whatever fate Gad has in store for you. Laugh and the world laughs with you. Weep and you weep alone. Blessed are they that mourn for they shall rejoice. With much sympathy and best wishes, I am Your friend, S. G. WATKINS, P. G. P. our friend, P. G. WATKINS, P. G. P. 6. Miss Nellie 7. Mrs. Goss. 8.

MISSOURI INTO OREGON CASE INVOLVES THE INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM LAW. Attorney General Allowed to File Brief in Federal Court Because of Similarity of Statutes. Washington, D. C.—Attorney General Major of Missouri took a hand in the case before the United States supreme court involving the constitutionality of the initiative and referendum law of the state of Oregon. Mr. Major filed a brief in behalf of the state of Missouri, being permitted to do so because Missouri has a law identical with Oregon's. The case in which appeal was taken is that of the Pacific State Telegraph and Telephone company. The supreme court of Oregon upheld the statute enacted by referendum, which assesses an annual tax of 2 per cent of the gross receipts against the telegraph and telephone company. The appeal rests mainly on the argument that a system involving the initiative and referendum is not a representative system of government. A decision by the supreme court affirming the position of the telegraph and telephone company would knock out "popular government" wherever its measures have been adopted in the United States. It is contended in the Missouri official's brief that congress alone determines what government is the established government in a state, and that congress alone may say whether that government is republican in form. Also that whether the state statute violates the state constitution is not a federal question. IS NOW "PRESIDENT" OF CHINA General Li Yuen Heng Has Formally Announced Himself Ruler of New Republic. Pekin, China.—Gen. Li Yuen Heng, leader of the rebel forces, has informed the foreign consuls at Hankow that he has been proclaimed "president of the Republic of China." The foreign ministers here have exchanged communications with Li upon several subjects. They objected to his announcement that vessels carrying contraband of war would be subject to confiscation and also to his proposal to administer the custom revenues at the port of the Yang-Tse-Kiang and other cities when controlled by the revolutionists. This latter objection was based on the fact that revenues are pledged as security for foreign loans and should be turned over to the British inspectors general of customs in China. DEATH OF JOSEPH PULITZER Proprietor of New York World and St. Louis Post-Dispatch Stricken by Heart Disease. Charleston, South Carolina—Joseph Pulitzer, proprietor of the New York World and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, died at 1:40 o'clock aboard his yacht, the Liberty, in Charleston harbor. The immediate cause of Mr. Pulitzer's death was heart disease. The funeral will be held at Woodlawn cemetery in New York probably toward the end of the week. Mr. Pulitzer's yacht had been in Charleston harbor only six days. It was on the way to Jekyll Island, near Brunswick, Ga., where Mr. Pulitzer owned a summer home. Joseph Pulitzer was a member of the legislature in Missouri in 1869, a little before he was 21 years old. PUBLIC LAND NEARLY ALL GONE Less Than Two Years Ago Missouri Had 20,000 Acres—1,340 Acres Now Remain. Springfield, Missouri.—Though official records show that less than two years ago there was nearly 20,000 acres of government land in Missouri the books of the United States land office here show that only 1,340 acres now remain for settlement. A report just completed shows that only four counties of the state now have more than 100 acres of government land. These are Barry, 116; Miller, 160; Pulski, 178, and shannon, 128. Only 21 out of the 114 counties of the state have any land open to homestead or cash entry from the government. Postal Bank for Atchison Atchison, Kansas.—Atchison is to have a postoffice savings bank. It will be installed in the local postoffice immediately. J. W. Carr, postal inspector, has been in Atchison for two days instructing Scott Jones, who will be the cashier of the new bank. Deposits will be received through the registry window. Try for County Option. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. - An amendment to the constitution repealing state-wide prohibition and substituting local option in its place will be submitted to the voters of Oklahoma soon. For National Primary Law Washington, D. C.—Members of both the Democratic and Republican parties are working on a plan for a national presidential primary law, which they hope to present in congress at the coming session. PECHLIY TIENT SIN SHANTUNG YELLOW SEA KIANGSU NAM KING SHANGHAI HONAN NGANHING HUPEH CHEKIANG CHENG TUY SLECHUEN FUKIEN FUNAN TIENGS EASTERN SEA PROVINCES UNDER REBEL CONTROL SPREAD OF REVOLT TOWARD PECHLIY TO REDUCE COST OF LIVING TO REDUCE COST OF LIVING HOUSEHOLDERS TRYING VARIOUS PLANS FOR RELIEF. Chicago Has Storage Plan—St. Joseph and Topeka Start Co-Operative Stores. Chicago, Illinois.—A movement has been started among householders here to solve the "high cost of living problem." They have begun the formation of a federation of marketing clubs, an organization which will buy food in quantities in the season when it is cheap, store it and distribute it at cost prices among consumers. Those back of the movement assert it will effect a reduction in the cost of food amounting in the aggregate to 50 per cent. St. Joseph, Missouri. At a mass meeting called by the residents of Hyde Valley for that purpose several nights ago, two hundred residents of the suburb entered into an agreement to form a stock company to establish and conduct a co-operative store, in which groceries, dry goods, shoes and meats will be sold to stockholders of the association at first cost, plus a sum barely sufficient to meet the expenses of running the store. Practically every head of a family in Hyde Valley, who is not engaged in the mercantile business, has taken stock in the co-operative store, and those who are promoting the innovation say they have ascertained upon investigation that the members will be able to save from 20 to 40 per cent on all purchases. Topeka, Kansas.—Socialists here are planning a co-operative store as a relief from high prices. The shares are to be $15 with only one share to a person. The store will be operated on the profit sharing plan, each customer being entitled to a division of profits according to the amount of purchases. No End to Hemphill Case: Montgomery, Missouri.—The case of Dr. W. A. Hemphill, who is charged with performing the operation resulting in the death of Miss Elizabeth Gleason of Elsberry, is again continued until the regular term of the Lincoln county circuit court in January. The case has been pending three years and was continued some time ago pending the result of the Rev. Clyde Gow's trial. Gow is now serving a four-year sentence in the penitentiary. Gas Goes Up at Atchison. Atchison, Kansas.-The price of gas was raised here from 25 cents to 27 cents a thousand cubic feet. The local company obtains its supply from the Kansas National Gas company, and it was in compliance with orders from the Kansas National that the rates were increased. Rice Growers Increase Price: Beaumont, Texas.—At a meeting of the executive committee of the Southern Rice Growers' association, one of the dominant organizations in the Texas-Louisiana rice industry, the schedule of prices for rough rice has just been advanced 10 to 15 cents, according to grade. Burned a Barn for Spite. Abilene, Kansas.—Because E. W. Barber won Fred Yonnally's sweetheart, Yonnally, a young farmer, burned Barber's barn and is suspected of burning several others near town. He confessed and was arrested. High Priced Beer Wichita, Kansas—For selling two bottles of beer, Frank Johnson a negro porter, was given a year in jail and fined $1,000. It is the heaviest penalty ever dealt to a liquor law offender in the county. As the Italians Tell It Tripoli.—A report from an Italian source recounting the recent battle, places the Turkish and Arab losses at more than 1,000 killed and a large number wounded, and the Italian loss at 100 dead and wounded. FINDS WORK FOR THE NEEDY Missouri's Free Employment Agency Finds Places for Thousands. Jefferson City, Mo.—According to reports made by J. T. Smith, superintendent of the St. Louis free employment office, C. J. Tompkins, superintendent of the Kansas City office and Jesse E. Heiser, superintendent of the St. Joseph office, employment was furnished to 3,144 persons, of whom 2,775 were men and 369 women. Not one cent was paid out by any person for whom a position was secured. The state finds the cost of maintaining the free employment office to be money well spent. There were applications for 4,710 men and 639 women. As a rule the class of applicants for work was of a high order. So successful has been the work of the free employment bureau in St. Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph that Commissioner Biggs is anxious that the law be changed to permit the bureau of labor statistics to establish free employment offices in Springfield, Hannibal, Joplin, Sedalia and other large manufacturing towns of the state. RED HATS FOR TWO AMERICANS United States Representation In Sacred College Exceeded Only by Italy and Spain. Rome, Italy.—Two more American cardinals will be created by the pope at the consistency to be held November 27. The red hat will be bestowed on the Most Rev, John M. Farley, archbishop of New York, and the Most Rev. William H. O'Connell, archbishop of Boston. With three members of the sacred college—Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore and Archbishops Farley and O'Connell—the United States representation will equal that of any country in the world with the exception of Italy, with 31, and Spain with four. It is understood that still another American will be made a cardinal soon. GO BY WATER IN PULLMAN CAR Party Leaves St. Louis for New Orleans, Going Down Mississippi River in Car on Boat. St. Louis, Mo.—A party of officials of the St. Louis & San Francisco railroad have left here for New Orleans in two Pullman cars and a diner, but from the time the train left until it arrives at New Orleans not a wheel of it will turn nor will its drawbars feel the pull of a locomotive. The train will be carried to New Orleans on the big transfer steamer B. F. Yoakum. The steamer will be put into service at Baton Rouge to ferry St. Louis & San Francisco trains across the river at that point. It has accommodations only for the crew, so the passengers will sleep in the Pullman and eat in the dining car. One Man Saved Church Salina, Kansas.—The jury in the case in which Max E. Church was being tried for receiving money as cashier of the Citizens' State bank at Hollyrood after it was insolvent, was discharged by Judge Smith after being out for 22 hours. On the last vote the jury stood 11 for conviction and one for acquittal.

Returns on the summonses showed that not one objection was filed MANY HOGS DYING OF CHOLERA Kansas, Missouri and Iowa Animals Principal Victims—Serum Output Increased. Columbia, Missouri.—Hog cholera has never been as prevalent in the Middle West, particularly Kansas, Missouri and Iowa, as it is now, according to Dean F. B. Mumford of the Missouri college of agriculture. The college of agriculture has men out in every part of the state inoculating hogs and is sending out serum at the rate of 20,000 doses a month. The facilities for making the serum have been increased since the epidemic started, but is impossible to supply the demand. In most cases the farmers use the serum themselves, and where they are unacquainted with its use a farmer comes to the college and receives instruction from the experts here. When he returns home he not only inoculates his own hogs but also those of his neighbors. GOVERNMENT IN McNAMARA CASE Department of Justice is Investigating Raid on Ironworkers Headquarters. Indianapolis, Indiana—That the department of justice has entered upon an investigation of the McNamara dynamite cases has now become known here. A subpoena has been served upon Frank P. Baker, prosecutor for this county, to appear before the federal grand jury November 7 and to bring with him all evidence in the form of books, documents, dynamite and explosive apparatus sized in a raid on the offices here of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers at the time of the arrest of John J. McNamara, secretary-treasurer of the association. DAKOTA LAND NOT SO VALUABLE State Takes all the Best Land in Rosebud Lottery for School Purposes. Gregory, South Dakota.—Something of a sensation in connection with the Rosebud land lottery developed here when it was disclosed that 41 sections of school land have been taken by the Indian allotments. This means that 41 sections of the best land in Mellette county will be selected by the state as Indian school land before the settlers have a chance to file. Inasmuch as only about 30 sections are classified by the appraisers as A-1 agricultural land, it looks very much as though none of the best of the land will pass into the possession of the settlers at this time. To Study Salt Making Washington, D. C.—In the line with the many plans of teaching commissary officers the methods of producing and preparing for the market practically everything used by the army, Capt. Will H. Point, commissary, has been ordered to the salt mines at Hutchinson, Kan., to familiarize himself with the methods of mining and preparing salt for the market. Crumbine Sees Pellagra Cases.

Topeka, Kansas.—A $1,000,000 increase in the capital stock and a $1,000,000 bond issue were authorized by the stockholders and directors of the A. T. & S. F. railroad in their annual meeting here. WAIL OF MODERN BENEDICT Adaptation That Alms to Set Forth the Trials and Tribulations That Beset Life. 1. My wife is my boss, I shall not deny. 2. She maketh me lie down behind the bed when the swell company comes, and she leadeth me behind her up Main street. 3.

DISTEMPER CATARRHAL FEVER AND ALL NOSE THROAT DISEASES His Apprenticeship By DONALD ALLEN (Copyright, 1911, by Associated Literary Press.) Mr John Degraw, the sturdy, steady old broker and banker, sat in the library of his office at home waiting for his son Perry to come in for an interview. Perry was a young man of twenty-eight, and there had been interviews in the past—many interviews. They had been held for Perry's benefit, but he had not seemed to benefit thereby. This was to be a sort of farewell interview. Not that the father expected to die soon, or expected his son to die, or intended to turn him outdoors, but he had been saving up some vigorous opinions for a year past which were to be delivered on this occasion. It may be said of Mr. Perry Degraw that he had an income—he belonged to three clubs—he thought he was fast—he had been abroad, and he was no masher. In spite of all he could do to be a tremendous fellow, he was considered to have principles and to be harmless. Perry was not a college graduate. He had developed no talent for business or a profession. He was just taking things easy and getting ready to shoot tigers in India and elephants in Africa. The father had fretted and fumed more or less, but there had been no change. Enter the son for the interview. The father sat with a stern look on his face. "Oh, now, governor, I say, don't greet a fellah this way," said Perry, who had on his English morning suit and was speaking to match the checks. "Son," said the father after a long look at him, "you are an ass!" "Five times; ten times over. You are a cipher. You have a cabbage head on your shoulders. You would not know enough to come in when it rained if a policeman didn't give you a shove. "Am I too fast, governor?" asked the astonished Perry. "Too fast! Why, son, you don't know the meaning of the word. You couldn't be fast. You were never cwfrees "B'jove, Governor!" drunk in your life. You never had over two cocktails in an evening. You never won or lost over $5 on a horse race. The newspapers never refer to you as a high roller." "But, Governor, the fellahs all say——" "It know it. They all say that you are a would-be, but you haven't the brains to blossom out. Sorry for you, son—mighty sorry. I know just how you must feel." "But this isn't fair, donchier know," protested Perry. "There you go with another of your sap-headed words! Lord, but what an empty pate! You spent three months in London, and you came back with English clothes and English 'donchers.' Does an Englishman go back home from the States to ape us and make a fool of himself?" "That's a new one on me, Governor. I must get that off at the club. Is the interview at an end?" "Almost. I just want to say that the other day you quite finished your career as a braying ass. It has come to my ears that you made a wager with another of your ilk that you would have the widow Strong in love with you within a year." "Yes, Governor—a bet of ten dollars" complacently replied the son. "By thunder, but you are forty fools rolled into one! What's a father to do with such an offspring?" "Oh. I'll win the wager all right. Got me little plan all worked out. It's tremendous, Gov.-postively tremendous. You will be surprised when it unfolds. You will discover that your son Perry has brains after all B'jove you'll pat me on the back after it's all over!" The father turned away and looked out of the window for a moment, and then quietly said: "Perry, we have never had a fool in the family that I have heard of, and I don't like the idea. It seems that I must put up with it, however." "B'jove, governor!" "A silly ass, Perry!" "You can't mean it!" Do this much for me, please. Don't be just a common fool, but go in for great things in that line. Gamble, wager, get drunk. Get a flying machine. Elope with somebody's wife. Kill three or four people with your auto. Start for the north pole. Go about with a hobble skirt on. If you'll go in to be the biggest fool in America I'll furnish you all the money you can make use of it." Sorry, Gov—sorry—but I cawnt do it, ye know," was the reply. "Got my little plans to look out for. Would like to oblige, but must decline. No hard feelings, I hope. Thanks for your kind wishes. By-by." Mr. Perry Degraw lived at his clubs and appeared at his father's mansion only at intervals. Sometimes he was seen only once a month. On this occasion he disappeared after the interview, and it was weeks before he was heard of again. Thero was a report that he was investigating the Panama canal, but it was not considered reliable. No one worried about him, however. The widow Strong owned and occupied a manor house forty miles from the city. She was still a young woman, a member of the best society, and wealthy. One afternoon, as her auto was brought to the door that she might proceed to a village four or five miles away, she made the discovery that her chauffeur was intoxicated. He was discharged on the spot, and just as a young man who looked to be a walking student came along. He saw the situation and offered his services. He claimed to have experience, and after some hesitation was engaged to run the auto for the trip. The results were twofold. The widow had heard of Perry Degraw's wager, and she believed she recognized the young man in the stranger who had arrived at the opportune moment. He was therefore engaged to act as chauffeur, gardner and man of all work. It was plain that the new man knew all about an auto. Quite sure of his identity, the widow did as any other woman would have done. She kept him at work from morning till night. She found fault on all occaions. The cook was bidden to keep an eye on him, and he was treated a little worse than the average hired man. He bore everything without complaint and did his best to please. After a couple of weeks he dropped his "ye knows" and his "donchers," and he no longer struck tremendous attitudes. The change in him was noticed even by the cook. The new man, who called himself Hopkins, and was familiarly known to the servants as "Hop," came to the manor house in midsummer. He was still there as winter set in. Not a word or a look had betrayed the fact that he was not Hopkins. The widow now felt sure, but she was simply a bit interested. Perhaps if something were to happen—— And one midwinter day Perry Degraw found his father in the library again. His arrival had not been expected. In his surprise the father looked up and said: "Why, son, where did you leave it?" "Down in the country, gov. Been a hired man for the Widow Strong ever since that basting you gave me." "Why, you fool, did you go down there and——" "Gently, gov. Stuck in a snowdrift four days ago in the auto. Mighty cold. Snow three feet deep. Widow freezing to death. Chauffeur carries her a mile in his arms and saves her precious life. She revives. Says she has known his identity all along. Says he is some fool, but not all fool. Says she rather likes him. Says it may come off in about three months. Wants to know, as I do, if you have anything to say about it." The father hadn't. He simply reached out his hand for a shake. Here is one case where the husband had the last word and possibly scored a point. It was during a little spat. His wife had been talking for ten minutes without a letup and the end came only when she asserted vehemently, "There, I hope I've made myself plain!" "Made yourself plain, my dear!" he replied. "Why, bless your heart, I didn't know you had anything to do with it. I thought you were born that way." Few Cities in India There are few cities in India. Its stupendous population consists of farm laborers. India is one vast farm—one almost interminable stretch of fields. It is a beautiful country—beautiful rivers, beautiful mountains. It is a land of abundant life. The jungles are full of animals, the air is alive with birds and fowls of almost all kinds, the waters are alive with fish. Vegetable life is abundant and varied. Whatsoever Thy Hand Findeth. "I have been a great deal happier," she said at last, "since I've given up thinking about what is easy and pleasant and being discontented because I could not have my own will. Our life is determined for us—and it makes the mind very free when we give up wishing and only think of bearing what is laid upon us, and doing what is given us to do."—George Elliot. His Last Word. THE KITCHEN CABINET with cream of tartar, then place in the sun, wetting the spots as they dry. Afterward wash and rinse in the regular manner. The custom with many thrifty house keepers is to use yellow nanking, which So near I shall be that your best friend shall wish I had been further. VALUE OF THE ONION. The onion has wonderful properties and is both a food and a medicine. For colds and coughs it is a remedy popular through many generations. A few onions sliced and sprinkled generously with sugar, put into the oven and baked until the onion and sirup is brown is a cough medicine hard to equal. Raw onions are said to cure bronchitis and throat affections. The only drawback to the full enjoyment of this homely vegetable is the odor whir it leaves on the breath. Fresh parsley eaten after eating onions is the best remedy to counteract the onion odor. Raw onion is more stimulating than cooked ones and they are said to have a beneficial effect on the complexion, so the onion eaters have some compensation. Creamed Onions on Toast.—Peel onions all of one size and put to cook in a little stock with a blade of mace. and cook gently until tender. Drain and keep the onions hot, then add a half cup of milk to the onion liquid. Ad a little flour and butter cooked together. Boll and season. Prepare a piece of toast for each onion. Add a yolk of egg to the sauce, lay an onion on each piece of toast, pour over some of the sauce, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot. Chopped onion seasoned with a bit of mustard, salt and olive oil and vinegar makes a very appetizing filling for sandwiches. Serve them for Sunday night lunch—after church. The delicious flavor of the onion is used in countless dishes and eaten with relish by many who profess to dislike the flavor. Stuffed Onions.—Parboll large-sized onions and remove the centers. Fill with seasoned sausage or a filling of nuts and crumbs. Bake and baste with soup stock or butter and water. Serve as a garnish for pork roast, chops or steak. F I were asked what was the greatest goee to beauty in both man and woman, I would say, not errors in diet, not lack of exercise, not overwork, not corseits, nor any malal habit, nor anger, nor worry, regret, irritability, envy, jealousy, lack of trust in one's self and in the great God—all these are bad mental states which destroy beauty, not only by interfering with the action of the vital organs, but by directly disfiguring the expression of the face. —Outting AUTUMN DISHES. Pears and Rice.—Cut six pears in half, remove the cores and peel thinly. Put them into a saucepan with a sip of sugar and water and cook until the pears are soft. Put a pint of milk into a saucepan with the thinly-peeled rind of a lemon and a tablespoonful of butter. When boiling hot add three tablespoonfuls of rice and cook until the rice is tender. When done, cool. Add the beaten yolks of two eggs and a half cup of cream. Sweeten to taste. Serve the rice in the center of the dish with the pears around it. Pour the sirup over all. Serve hot. Another delicious way of serving the pear is to wash, halve and core them, leaving the stem on. Put into a baking dish and dot each core with butter, sprinkle with sugar, add a little lemon juice and water and bake slowly for several hours in a slow oven. The sauce will be a rich brown caramel. Apple Meringue.—Peel and core six apples, being careful to keep them unbroken. Put them in a sirup made of two tablespoonfuls of sugar and two cups of water and bake until tender. Butter a baking dish, put the apples into it and fill the centers with apricot jam. Beat the whites of two eggs, add a tablespoonful of sugar and cover the apples completely with the meringue. Put back into the oven to brown. Melting Potatoes.—Pare and cook in boiling salted water enough potatoes for the meal. When done, drain and place in a buttered baking dish, cover with a half pint of soup stock (chicken is most savory), put a piece of butter on each potato and bake until the potatoes have absorbed the stock. Serve hot. F. WE are commonplace and indifferent, we will find other people so. Mind finds its level just as water does. A really original and sympathetic person will find others interesting and agreeable. To complain of those we meet is really to admit ourselves dull. HOUSEHOLD HELPS. Fall is the time when peach stains find a home on our best linen. To remove them, wet with water and cover with cream of tartar, then place in the sun, wetting the spots as they dry. Afterward wash and rinse in the regular manner. The custom with many thrifty house-keepers is to use yellow napkins, which may be used during the fruit season, and stains will not show on them. When washing glass, slip it sidewise into the water to avoid cracking. If a new silk skirt is pressed with a hot iron before wearing it will take out the stiffness and the rustle but keep it from cracking. Cushions filled with excelsior make a good back for softer cushions on the couch. Dampen a scorched spot, and if it is not really burned, place in the sun, and it will become white again. Stuffed Spanish Onions.—Peel six even-sized onions and parboil in boiling water until partly done. Drain and remove the centers, and stuff with sausage. Put some slices of bacon in the bottom of a baking dish, put a little of the onion centers and cooked carrot over each and place on this the parboiled onion. Add stock and bake until thoroughly tender. Instead of using raisins in the rice pudding try a few bits of chopped Canton ginger. A tablespoonful to a quart of milk will be sufficient to give the pudding a flavor. Put your hyacinths for winter blooming in their glasses or pots before October is gone or the blooms will be late. A nice way to keep cheese when a whole one or large pieces are purchased, is to cover the cut side with paraffin, which can easily be removed when the next piece is cut. Paper doilies come now in such delicate and beautiful patterns that we may save much wear and tear of hand work by using them where ever possible. HANK God the meanest of his One to show a woman when he loves her. --Brownling. GOOD THINGS TO TRY. The culinary architect is keenly alive to anything now in combination or serving and a few recipes of new dishes are always halled with delight. Here are a few to tickle the palate: Boheman Pear Dainty.—Dissolve two heaping tablespoonfuls of gelatine in a cup of boiling water, add six ripe pears that have been peeled and rubbed through a sieve, four tablespoonfuls of sugar, a teaspoonful of vanilla and two cups of whipped cream. Mold in a wet mold and turn out when set. Decorate with sweetened whipped cream and peeled pears. Chocolate Sponge.—Take two and a half squares of chocolate, melted, add two tablespoonfuls of powdered gelatine, and two cups of milk, three tablespoonfuls of sugar. Stir over the fire until melted and smooth, then strain into a basin. Add one cup whipped cream and the white of egg beaten stiff. Pour into a mold and let stand to set. Lamb Chops With Cucumber.—Cook the chops until brown on both sides. Peel a good-sized cucumber and cut into small dice; simmer in boiling water until almost done, drain and season with butter and cook until quite tender. Add salt, chopped parsley and pepper. Arrange the chops around the edge of the platter and heap the cucumbers in the center. Orange Pudding.-Scald a pint of milk in a double boiler, add a tablespoonful of cornstarch which has been mixed with a little cold milk, then add the yolks of two eggs and a cupful of sugar. Cook until smooth then remove from the heat. Peel and slice thin two oranges, sprinkle with sugar, then pour over them the chilled custard. A meringue may be added and browned in the oven. Chill and serve cold. Nellie Marwell. While hunting in the Virginia woods near Bailey's crossroads, in Alexandria county, a few nights ago a pack of dogs belonging to John Monroe and a colored man named Mortimer Wiggins ran down and killed an animal believed to be an armadillo. The dogs were after opossums and coons, but getting on the scent of the animal followed it for an hour or more before they landed their quarry. Later it was learned that the armadillo belonged to one of the troops of cavalry at Fort Myer. The men had secured a number of the animals while on duty on the Texas border and had brought them to the fort. The one that was killed had escaped and the men had been hunting the woods for it for several days when they learned that it had been killed. This is possibly the only armadillo hunt that ever took place in the vicinity of Washington—Washington Star. Distant Courtesy. "As an artist I suppose you assume to be indifferent to money?" "No. I'm not indifferent. But I'm not sufficiently acquainted to attempt familiarity." NEW FOLDER FOR IRONING Clever Device Turns Neat Hem In Cloth as Iron Passes Over It. It took two Iowa men to design the little implement produced here, but they turned out a clever device. It is a cloth folder for ironing, and will turn either one or two hems in a piece of cloth as the iron passes over A hand gripping a tool. Clever Device. the goods and smoothing it down. A small piece of metal, narrower at one end, has its sides turned under to form grooves. The forward end has a seat on which the back of the iron rests, and the rear end has a tongue turned down through the center to act as a guide. This will either fold one edge of a large piece of cloth or both edge of a narrow strip. In either instance the iron passes over the cloth as it is turned down and presses it flat. Where cloth is folded by hand it is impossible to obtain the accurate edge given by this little implement, and the work takes a great deal longer to accomplish. THINGS WORTH KNOWING Rice to be a useful article of food should be stewed with milk, butter or stock, which will supply the want of natural fat. Lemon juice will clean aluminum. If your aluminum pans and kettles become blackened, just a little of the juice on a cloth and rub the utensil well. To starch black lawns boil two quarts of wheat bran in six quarts of water for thirty-five minutes. Let it cool and then strain. No soap is necessary where this is used, as it both cleanses and stiffens. A good way to wash bottles or vinegar cruets is to put crushed egg cheels and warm soapy water together in then shake well. This will clean the glass well and will not scratch it. To protect your rolling pin and board in absolute cleanliness is to make coverings for them of unbleached muslin, having drawing strings and loops sufficiently strong to hold them when the bags are hung up. A loaf of bread will keep fresh much longer if placed in a covered stone crock. Wrap in a large cloth to exclude air and keep the crock in a cool place. It is nicer than a tin vessel and much better than keeping the bread in a refrigerator. To preserve unused yolk of eggs put the yolks in a cup or basin, drop a piece of kitchen paper into cold water, and place over the top of cup or bain. This will prevent the yolks from getting hard and they will keep for days. To deodorize saucepans after cooking onion, cabbage or fish, try this plan: Wash and dry the pan, then place a piece of thick brown paper on the stove, set fire to it and turn the saucepan over the blaze. After a few moments remove it, and the odor will not be noticed. An easy and quick way of dropping oil when making mayonnaise dressing is to cut a small groove in each side of the cork in the olive bottle. The air will enter the groove at the top and force the oil out of the lower hole in slow, even drops. Lay the bottle on the table with the cork end projecting well over the edge. You can sit down and do your beating, and the oil will come out just right. Tomato Relish. One peck ripe tomatoes, chopped and drained over night in a bag, two cups chopped celery, two cups chopped onions, three green peppers chopped, one quart strong vinegar, two pounds brown sugar, three tablespoonfuls salt, two tablespoonfuls cinnamon, two ounces mustard seed. Btir all together well, bottle and seal. No cooking. Keeps any length of time. Cleaning With Milk. Buttermilk is the best thing to clean linoleum and oilcloth. Just mop it up with a soft cloth and see the dirt taken off by the application. Milk well rubbed into the wood makes a good furniture polish also, keeping the shine surface in good condition. AT THE WICHITA THEATRES. AT THE WICHITA THEATRES. "Laugh and the world laughs with you" is a saying that is old but true. This week, beginning Monday Oct., 30th, North Bros, Stock Co., wants everyone to laugh with them when they offer for laughing purposes only, Cyril Scott's great comedy success "A Stranger in a Strange Land." During the engagement of this non- company at the Lyceum this season they have presented many dramatic success, but "A Stranger in a Strange Land" will be their first farce-comedy offering. The play is a series of laugh provoking incidents and humorous situations and complications blended into play that is a continuous laugh from start to finish. How a man can think of all the ludricous mishaps and mixups, how he can get his characters into the hopeless state of chaos which he does before the first act is half over and then extricate them from it all, is in itself wonderful, but what is still more to be wondered at is how can a crowd of people potray all this and keep their right wits about them. That's what you will say when you witness a preformance of "A Stranger in a Strange Land" at the Lyceum this week. WHEN THE EYESIGHT FAILS Then Things Look Good to One That Everyone Else Is Criticising Harshly. "Everything has its compensations," declared the man whose hair is graying over his ears and who can read fine print as easily as he could ten years ago. "Yes, sir! Things look good to me that I hear other people criticising like the mischief. Every girl has a flawless companion; everybody's hair looks as if it grew there and didn't have to be pinned on; all my friends are handsome; the streets seem clean and my clothes look 'new. "Then, when I put on my spectacles —! But I've learned not to, except when I want to learn. When my straw hat gets too spotty my good wife punches me up and says it's time to buy a new one, and when she needs a frock she just quietly hauls my specs out of my pocket, hands them to me pointedly, and stands before me in a good light. Rose-colored spectacles are all right, she tells me, when I'm looking at her face, but she prefers me to inspect her last summer's gown with my strongest, clearest lenses." Seagulls of Lerwick. The seagulls are the sparrows of Lerwick, and as such they have a greater share in the town's life than have the sparrows of London. In the morning time you will note that a seagull sits on every chimney pot. Seagulls swoop and hover over every roof in the town. The air is full of their strange, high, plaintive, haunting cries. The children in each house have a pet name for their particular seagull, and having called them by those names, they feed them every day. And each seagull knows what is meant for him. No seagull attached to one house ever seeks to eat the food scattered from the house next door. He does not dare; the other gulls would kill him. The people of the town, if they come across a little pile of rice laid upon the roadway, step over it with care. And at night the seagulls leave their own appointed chimney pots and fly gracefully away to their resting places on the rocks of the Isle of Noss.—The Scotsman. In Praise of Candor. Candor is the brightest gem of criticism.—Disraeli. Explained. "Katie," said Mike, "if ye're after listening tonight and hear an inaudible whisper underneath your window, 'tis meself that's 'keepin' quiet."—Harper's Bazar. Woman's Wiles.

"Haven't got it, old scout; I got pald yesterday." -Puck. Cork the Beauty Center. For feminine beauty go to Cork. On the occasion of her first visit to Ireland—in 1849—Queen Victoria wrote of the women of Cork: "The beauty struck us much; such beautiful dark eyes and hair, and such fine teeth; almost every third woman was pretty, and some remarkably so." Of the women of Belfast there was less to be said, nothing more than: "The people are a mixture of nations, and feminine beauty had almost disappeared."—London Chronicle. SEARCHLIGHT. PAGE FOUR.

Caviare can be made of the roe of any fish; but the principal supply comes from the sturgeon and the belluga. The latter is about the most curious fish in the world. It weighs up to 1,000 pounds and innabits the waters of the swift-flowing Volga. It is so abundant that the natives of Astracan throw away the flesh—which is whiter than veal and very salty—and preserve only the spawns of which they sometimes take as much as 200 pounds out of one fish. This belluga life on the bottom of the river at certain seasons and swallows many large pebbles of great weight to ballast itself against the force of the stream; that is, the pebbles act as an anchor. When the flood subsides and the waters are less violent the belluga disgorges itself; that is, it unballasts, hauls in its anchor and swims about for provender R B.

His parents are convinced that Clarence will be a great man; the only doubt is whether it will be as a statesman or scientist. He is only four years old, and their confidence is based largely on one incident. The boy never told of it, and it would have been lost to history if a neighbor had not been a chance. Clarence lives in suburbs, and has a cat and kittens. One day he went into the yard next door with one of the little ones to play. There was a big pile of brushwood here, and he shoved his pet into a hole in this. She crawled so far back that all his efforts to get her out were vain. Had he been a man he would have pulled the pile of brush apart, but lacking strength for this he resorted to cunning. Running home, he soon returned with the mother cat. He shoved her into the hole after her offspring, and she soon came out with the little one between her teeth. Glances bore them both home in triumph.

Queen Adelaide, the wife of William IV., was a woman of great piety and exceptional humility, which was shown in the directions for her funeral. "I die in all humility," she wrote, "knowing well we are all alike before the throne of God, and request, therefore, that my mortal remains be conveyed to the grave without any pomp or ceremony. They are to be moved to St. George's chapel, Windsor, where I request to have a quiet funeral. "I particularly desire not to be laid out in state, and the funeral to take place by daylight; no procession, the coffin to be carried by sailors to the chapel. I die in peace, and wish to be carried to the tomb in peace, and free from the vanities and the pomp of the world."—Home Notes. MAN HAS NO RIGHT TO SCOFF Not so Many Years Ago He Was Crazy Over Dress Himself. No, brother, men have not always been so indifferent to dress as they are today. Their ralment, as compared with the darnfoolishness of woman, hasn't always been above reproach. Consider, if you will, the days when our respected forefathers would draw on their lavender-colored pants with a shoe horn, using a little slippery powder, maybe, to help things along, until people looked at their feet and wondered if the pants hadn't been sewed up if the feet got through Consider their tight boots—made so tight that they caused the most encrusting agony. And remember that the dandies of that day would carefully polish these burning, blasing, pinching, agonizing boots and then step carefully with the toes in a mud puddle so that the mud drying on the lower part would make the feet seem small. O, yes, they did it. And of course you know that a bootjack wasn't used merely because the boots might soil the hands, but because nobody had invented a stump-puller in those days and applied it to the removal of tight boots. And remember the bell-crowned hats, and the dingbats and jimcracks they hung on their watch fobs. And the fancy waistcoats and the frilled shirts. And going even further back, consider what historical drawings give us of information as to ancient dress—the knee breeches with gorgeous rosettes—the brilliant buckles on the shoes—the cream-colored cloaks with mauve satin linings. And the white silk stockings that the exscelior would show through. Think of the bepowdered and becurled wigs when you rave at rats on women's heads and repent of your scoffing words. Face powder? Perfumes and scents? Sure they had 'em. Patches on their complexion—yes, and rouge. They sure were pretty men those days. And going back to the Indian—think of his war paint, of his gaudy blanket, his stained arrows, his painted pony, his bear-olled hair and his colored feathers. But what's the use? He's not so pretty now. Only he really hadn't ughter soff so much at hobble skirts and peach-basket hats and Chinese hair switches and things. He really hadn't ughter. As a Buncher. We is one of the most bothersome words in the language. It is responsible for more misunderstandings than any other ten words put together. An editor will start out conscientiously to give his opinions. He will begin by saying "We think," meaning himself. A latter later he will say "we," meaning his advertisers. A few lines farther down he will use the word again, meaning the class of people who read his paper. Then his heart will soften and expand. He will become eloquent with the use of "we," meaning the whole community or the entire human race. Then suddenly he will bethink himself and reflect that his is a party organ and "we," the party, is paramount after all. Whereupon he will divest himself of opinions in which the people large have no interest, or at least no profit. All this is very confusing. The unsuspecting reader struggles along trying in vain to separate the we-goats from the we-sheep. Sometimes that's exactly what the editor is striving for, and sometimes he is the most confused of all. We was invented to conceal thought. Kaiser's Insult to a Courtier An incident very reminiscent of such pettiness was told to Tip the other day by an American just returned from Berlin. It seems one of the Kaiser's suite, a noble of high rank, had incurred the imperial displeasure. The Kaiser did not wish to lose this gentleman's services, but apparently desired to humiliate him for the real or fancied offense. At one of the state dinners shortly afterward, the noble was seated half a dozen places from his ruler. Besides him sat a woman of title, whom he had known from the time both could walk. The two conversed animatedly, Suddenly his imperial majesty leaned forward and exclaimed in a harsh voice: "Prince, it is not etiquette to dirt at my table." The man thus addressed rose to his feet and bowed low. The next day he resigned and retired to his country estate, although it is well known he received a personal letter of apology from Wilhelm II. Not to Be Fooled. Proudly young Tomkins displayed the sights of London to his uncle, fresh from the verdant country. They visited St. Paul and the Embankment and the National Gallery and all the places they could get in free, and, as an especial treat, they visited a music hall, where a trombone solo was in progress when they entered. With rapt attention the old man watched the instrumentalist's facial contortions. At the close the audience applauded thunderously, but the old man sat mute. "Well," said young Tomkins, "didn't you like it?" "Yerra good, verra good, no doubt," nodded the old man, "but we country folk canna be taken in so easy as all that; I knew all the time he wasn't a wallowin' of it!"—Answer TRUNKS Coffeyvilfe, Kansas Mrs. James Roberts and children.

In Finland everybody lives the simple life in summer time. They camp out on islands, in the forests and always somewhere near the water, for everybody swims and bathes. Almost all classes sleep and eat al fresco, at this time of year, at the town councils of the town in this progressive and altogether delightful little country provide public fireplaces and public bathing sheds in all places where the working classes go in search of fresh air. But the simple life is by no means dull with the frisky Finns. combine it with a surprising amount of gayety. They eat, drink and are merry in their picturesque little log cabins outside the cities. When they are tired of bathing and plashing they dance, they sing, they catch fireworks and practice gymnastics, they all become like children and are the happiest, merriest, most good natured, most easily pleased and most healthy holiday makers in the world.

Between the region occupied of old by the Aztecs and the realm far to the south over which the Incas ruled lies an immense stretch of territory, a thousand miles long and 800 wide, where the remains of unknown and wonderful civilizations are being discovered, says a writer in Van Norien's Magazine. This region extends from the northern boundaries of Peru to the southern limits of Costa Rica, in one section along the coast of Ecuador six entirely unknown civilizations were recently brought to light by Prof. Marshall H. Saville, and a vast collection of relics has been brought to New York. This collection is to be the nucleus of a great American museum, which will represent the history of ancient peoples who attained an extraordinarily high degree of civilization, yet whose very existence has been hitherto lost in maduity. The famed marble chairs of Rome at its zenith were not more symmetrical or beautifully carved than those of one of these unknown marbles. No pottery of any other shape was more delicately patterned than that found in vast quantities as numerous almost as pebbles, on the sites where these extinct peoples dwelt. Their cloth was of truly marvelous weave; in beauty of dexterity richness of color and fineness of texture no fabric of to-day sums up. Took Precautions. "You ran into this man at 30 miles an hour and knocked him 40 feet," said the court. "That, or a little better, I suppose," answered the chauffeur. "Why didn't you slow down?" "Mere precaution, your honor. Once I shut off speed and hit a man so gently that he was able to climb into the machine and give me a loosing."

The TREASURE of COCOS ISLAND --- 6 HE good bark Hesperus will spread her white wings at Eagle Harbor, Wash., in a few weeks and sail away across the blue Pacific into the heart of the most fascinating romance of all pirate story. Capt. Frederick Hackett, in command of the vessel, clalms to be the only man in all the world who knows the secret of the buried treasure of Cocos island. He plans on this expedition to lift the vast wealth plundered by sea rovers in the early part of the last century and hidden on the island in a cave, the exact location of which has been lost and for which adventurers have sought in vain for many years. He is equipped with hydraulic mining machinery and has sufficient provisions to remain for a year if necessary on the island, which lies 300 miles off the western coast of Central America. That a score of former expeditions have proved failures does not discourage him. The treasure hunters who have gone before have depended upon pick and shovel. He will be the first prepared to use hydraulic mining methods. Earthquakes, he says, have shaken down landslides upon the treasure cave and changed the topography of the island. He will wash the earth away with streams of water powerful enough to uproot trees and burst rocks asunder. He is confident of success. "When I return to the United States," says Captain Hackett, "I shall have the entire Cocos island treasure batttened down beneath the hatches of the Hesperus." The story of Cocos island makes Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island" seem true in comparison, so much stranger are the facts of this real romance of buried treasure than the dream-adventures, highly colored as they are, wrought by the imagination of the novelist. The marvelous tale has its beginning in the days when savage buccaneers, flying skull-and-crossbones at their mast-heads, harried the Spanish main and plundered tall galleons on the high seas. It fairly glitters from beginning to end with a fairy wealth of doubloons, pieces-of-eight, louls d'ors, moldores, sequins and double gulneas. In its crowded episodes, blind-folded victims walk the plank, bronzed and turbaned cutthroats swarm over the bulwarks of captured ships and lay about them with cutlass and dragon pistol, sea rogues are strung up at yard-arms, towns are sacked and looted, vessels are left to welter to their ruin in flame and smoke. It centers about a lonely island, palm-shadowed in tropic seas, whereon lies buried a treasure beyond the dreams of Monte Cristo. It rings with the clash of battle on the island beaches and with the death cries of the men murdered that they might never betray the treasure's secret hiding place. Finally it hands down from the far-off time of romance to prosaic modern days a great golden mystery which, like a siren beckoning through the years from purple southern seas, has lured men to ruin and death. According to well-authenticated accounts, $23,000,000 in pirate treasure is buried on Cocos island. Of this sum $12,000,000 in money, bullion and plate is supposed to have been hidden in 1821 by Benito Bonito, the last of the great pirates who, even after Lafite hrd passed away, kept alive on the ocean the lawless traditions of L'Ollonis, Pierre Le Grand, Roche Braziliano, England, Hawkins and Sir Henry Morgan. The remaining $11,000,000 is said to have been concealed in the same cave in 1838 by "Bugs" Thompson, one of Bonito's old pirate crew, who sailed away with the treasure from the harbor of Callao when the government authorities of Peru entrusted it aboard his vessel to save it from capture by revolutionists. It consisted of money from the public treasury, ingots of gold from Inca mines, plate, chalices, ornaments and golden statues belonging to the churches and cathedrals of Lima. Captain Hackett is fourth in what may be christened the royal line of the holders of the golden secret of Cocos island. This secret has been handed down in a sort of lineal descent from Thompson. The former ocean freebooter for years carried about a chart of Cocos island drawn upon a piece of yellow parchment showing the exact location of the cave in which his own and Bonito's treasure board is hidden. He gave this chart to a fisherman of St. John's, l bark will her sings at Harbor, a few and sail across the lifef into of the claiming of all arry. Frede-kett, in of the N. F., named Keating, with full directions how to find the treasure. Thompson died under mysterious circumstances a little later and the suspicion grew that Keating killed him. However that may be, Keating sailed to Cocos island in 1844 with Captain Bogue, a seaman of sufficient means to finance the expedition. They found the treasure, but Bogue never returned. Keatig said he was drowned in the surf while attempting to climb into a boat with his boots and pockets stuffed with gold. It is generally believed that Keating murdered him. Keating made a second visit to the island four years later and again found the treasure. In both trips he is supposed to have brought away gold and jewels to the value of $150,000. He was prevented from recovering the entire treasure by mutinous crews on both voyages. Keating and Bogue are the only men, so far as is known, who ever recovered treasure from Cocos island. Keating passed his secret on to the Hackett brothers, both seamen and his neighbors in St. John's. Keating had lost or destroyed the chart which he had obtained from Thompson. But he drew another chart which he gave to the Hacketts with explicit instructions how to find the cave. Keating died in 1883 and Capt. Thomas Hackett, the elder brother, sailed in 1885 on an expedition bound for Cocos, but the voyage ended with his death in Havana from yellow fever. Capt. Frederick Hackett, who is about to undertake the latest Cocos island treasure hunt, has himself made two former unsuccessful expeditions. Captain Hackett was formerly a whaling skipper. He has been a seaman all his life. He formerly sailed out of St. John's, Newfoundland, where he was born and grew to manhood. The last ten years he has made his home in Vancouver, British Columbia, where he is engaged in the fishing trade. He is a bluff, ruddy, bearded old sea dog, hale and vigorous despite his three score years, and full of a boyish enthusiasm over a project that has been his one dream for a quarter of a century. So many expeditions to Cocos island have failed to find treasures that Captain Hackett has had difficulty in raising funds for his present expedition. He succeeded in getting together $100,000, and with this sum he has been able to provision his ship properly for a year's voyage and to take along hydraulic mining machinery, in which he is sure lies the only hope of ever unearthing the Cocos island treasure. "I have stood over millions," said Captain Hackett recently as he sat by the skylight on the quarter-deck of the Hesperus and watched his sailors busy with final preparations for the expedition. "It was not lack of knowledge that caused me to fall in my two former voyages, but lack of equipment and supplies. I knew after my first expedition that picks and shovels would not do in Cocos, and that the only chance to get the treasure was to tear up the earth with streams of water thrown by a hydraulic mining engine. I have the latest hydraulic machinery with me now, and I shall set out with perfect faith in the successful outcome of my voyage. "The landslide that now lies on top of the treasure cave probably occurred in the middle of the last century during the violent earthquakes that shook the western coast of South and Central America. Forest trees have grown upon it, and the appearance of that part of the island is vastly changed since the days of Bonito, Thompson and Keating. But with my bearings and chart and the instructions given me by Keating in many long interviews, I believe I can locate within a radius of 30 feet the spot beneath which the treasure is buried. "I knew Keating from youth up," Captain Hackett continued. "He was a rough, ignorant man who had been a fisherman and a sailor all his life." "It was because my brother and I befriended him when most everybody else looked askance at him that after advancing years made it pretty certain that he never would be able to voyage to Cocos again, he decided to divulge his secret to us. My brother and I owned the collier, Lord Dufferin, which was kept busy cruising up and down the coasts of Newfoundland and New Brunswick. On one of our voyages we took Keating with us. One stormy night as the old man sat by the table in the cabin over a glass of stiff grog, he first told us how to find the treasure. He began his strange story with an account of his first visit to Cocos with Captain Bogue. "It was a hot day in June, he said, when he and Bogue landed. They struck off through the tropical jungle RE OF ISLAND upon the by that Keat- or could not ush it along. des of gold, ade him reel cave with a at first tied a few f and rowed ney told the w i f h Thompson's chart to guide them. w i t h Thompson's chart to guide them. "The cave, Keating said, was 15 feet long by 12 feet broad, with a ceiling high enough to permit a man to stand upright. It was full of bars of gold and sacks of money. Many of the sacks bore the stamp of the Bank of Lima. There were many golden crucifixes, chalices and church ornaments. A statue of the Ma- donna of solid gold lay upon the floor. It was so heavy that Keating and Bogue together could not lift it, but could only push it along. The glitter of the pliles of gold, Keating said, fairly made him reel and seemed to fill the cave with a ghostly radiance that at first struck him with awe. "Bogue and Keating tied a few coins in a handkerchief and rowed back to their ship. They told the sailors they had found a spring of fresh water, but they were so excited with what they had seen that they acted unnaturally and the crew, may be, had suspicions of the truth, anyway. One word led to another, and Bogut and Keating told as little as possible, but it was enough for the crew, who made them promise to go shares. "Right here Keating and Bogue began to play their game more shrewdly. They served out unlimited grog, as if to celebrate treasure trove. Long before night the whole outfit was gloriously drunk except Keating and Bogue, who took care to remain strictly sober. All hands turned in early to sleep off their potations and be ready to bring the treasure aboard next morning. As soon as they were asleep, Keating and Bogue slipped off to shore in a whale-boat. They beached their boat and again made their way to the cave. They filled their pockets with doubloons and pieces-of-elegt and louls d'ors. Not satisfied with the money, Bogue, stuffed bar gold into his sea-boots so that he could hardly walk for the weight. In launching the boat, Keating said Bogue went under and was drowned. "Keating," Captain Hackett went on, "escaped to sea with his plunder, leaving the ship to its fate, and the men never were seen or heard of afterward. Four days later he was picked up by a Spanish coasting vessel which landed him safely near Punta Arenas. He slowly worked his way back to Newfoundland and deposited much money in the St. John's bank. "Keating made a second voyage to Cocos island four years later. He told us of this adventure too. I wrote the tale out afterwards in Keating's own language as nearly as I could remember it." The first treasure was buried on Cocos island by Benito Bonito a few months before his death in 1821. Bonito was born in 1788. He was a Spaniard of supposed gentle blood. His real identity is not known—Benito Bonito was an assumed name. He began his career as a lieutenant of a Spanish privateer. At the close of the Napoleonic wars he became mate of a Portuguese trading brig. In 1816 he quarreled with his captain, murdered him and seized the vessel. From that date he followed the life of a pirate. One of his first prizes taken in West Indian waters was an English slaver named the Lightning. Having cut her out of Matanzas, where she was lying at anchor one night, he burned his own brig and, transferring his flag to the British vessel, renamed her the Relampago, which is Spanish for chain-lightning. Most of the crew of the slaver were made to walk the plank. Two pleaded for their lives and offered to join Bonito. On this condition Bonito spared them. These two men were Thompson, known in Cocos island traditions as "Bugs," and a Frenchman named Chapelle, who also figures later in the story of Cocos island. In the long, low, rakish Relampago, which could show a clean pair of heels to anything sailing the Spanish main, Bonito had a busy and prosperous career as a pirate. From Rio to the Bahamas he became a scourge and collected an immense amount of booty. When the Spanish government sent warships to hunt him, Bonito slipped around Cape Horn to fresh pastures in the Pacific. The wealth of the churches of Spanish America is still considerable, but in the early days of the last century the richness of the plate and ornaments with which they were adorned was amazing. Bonito sacked cities and towns up and down the western coast, pillaging the cathedrals and laying tribute upon the citizens. His fame as a cruel and rapacious sea robber spread from the Horn to the Spanish settlements in California. In hunting for a spot in which to bury his growing treasure, he chanced upon Cocos island. Cocos island is a volcanic speck in the Pacific ocean and belongs to Costa Rica. It is 300 miles off the Costa Rica coast, 500 miles from Panama, and 5 degrees north of the equator. On the trip to Cocos island destined to be Bonito's last, a number of his men became dissatisfied. Having rowed their treasure to the cave they gathered on the beach in sullen temper, and soon came to open mutiny. They were tired of piracy. They demanded that the entire treasure be divided among them and that they be set upon the mainland and permitted to shift for themselves. Bonito refused. A pitched battle was fought with cutlass and pistol, and in the hand-to-hand engagement many were killed. Bonito was victorious. With the mutiny suppressed, he sailed for the West Indies. Off Valparaiso, some one suggested a carouse ashore. Bonito gave his consent. Seventeen men were landed and Bonito agreed to lie off and on near a certain headland and wait for them. With the 17 were all that were left of the mutineers, including Thompson and Chapelle. But Bonito proved treacherous. He sailed away and left the recalcitrants to their fate. The 17 were recognized in Valparaiso as pirates and captured. They were convicted and all except Thompson and Chapelle were hanged. Thompson and Chapelle escaped by representing that they had been forced into Bonito's service and offered to guide a warship to Bonito's secret haunts among the West Indian islands. The British government was just then planning a campaign of extermination against Bonito and his buccaneers. Sent to England for the purpose, Thompson and Chapelle guided a British corvette to one of their old chief's places of refuge in the Carribean. Bonito's ship and crew were captured, but the grim old sea wolf, seeing ahead the loom of the gibbet on Execution dock, blew out his brains on his own quarter-deck. Of the subsequent fate of Chapelle little is known. Thompson drops out of sight until 1838 when he reappears as Captain Thompson, master of an English trading brig, the Mary Dear, which at the opening of the second chapter of the romance of Cocos island was lying in the harbor of Callao, Peru. A revolution was under way in Peru. Lima, the capital founded by Pizarro, was in a state of siege. Just before the beleaguering lines of the revolutionists were drawn about the city, the government authorities removed the money from the treasury, and from the churches the plate and ornaments dating back to the golden days of the conquest, and sent them for safe keeping to an old stone fortress at Callao. When the revolutionary army learned of the removal of the treasure, which was valued at $11,000,000, it marched on Callao with the determination of capturing the rich hoard. In this crisis, the commandant of the fortress, seeing an English flag fluttering from the peak of the Mary Dear, bethought him that under the folds of the union jack Lima's treasure would be safe. Captain Thompson gave his consent to the proposition. The treasure was soon stowed snugly under the Mary Dear's hatches, and four Peruvian soldiers were left on board to guard it. The Peruvian authorities, of course, did not dream that Captain Thompson, who so bravely flaunted the English flag, had sailed in earlier days under the Jolly Roger with Benito Bonito's cut-throat crew. But with $11,000,000 battened down in his hold the old lawless spirit of his buccanneering days flamed up anew in Thompson, and he could not resist the temptation to turn robber again. In the night watches he and his men slit the throats of the guardians of the treasure, slipped their cables and put to sea. The Mary Dear bore up for Cocos island and dropped anchor in Wafer bay. Some portion of the spoil was distributed among the crew. The remainder Thompson carried in 11 boatloads around the headland which separates Wafer bay from Chatham bay and there landed it upon the beach. He sent the boats back to the brig, keeping two men with him. With their assistance he carried the treasure into the tropical brush and stowed it in Benito Bonito's old treasure cave. Then he shot the two men. He spread to the winds every stitch of canvas and headed the brig westward in a mad hurry to escape pursuit, but before the tall peaks of Cocos island had dropped below the horizon a Peruvian gunbeat hove in sight and sent a shot across his bow. When capture seemed inevitable, Thompson surrendered. Perhaps his cunning brain foresaw the immunity that must be granted to the sole possessor of the key to the hiding place of millions of dollars. At any rate he and the mate of the Mary Dear were spared that they might guide the Peruvians back to the Cocos island treasure. The other ten men of the Mary Dear's crew were strung up at the yard-arm. The warship proceeded to Cocos island and Thompson and the mate were landed under an armed escort. But the desperado was a man of resource, and he and the mate contrived to escape and kept in hiding in the caves and undergrowth. For four days armed parties searched for them through the length and breadth of the island, pouring volleys into every piece of thick scrub or likely hiding place. At the end of this time, thinking that perhaps the fugitives had been killed by the broadsides with which the jungles had been raked, the captain of the gunboat sailed away. The two marooned men eked out a precarious existence on berries and birds' eggs until a vessel called at Cocos for water. Passing themselves off as shipwrecked sailors, they were given passage to the mainland. The mate died soon afterwards of yellow fever at Punta Arenas. Thompson escaped. One story has it that he went to Samoa where he lived under the name of MacComber. According to another tale he made his way to England. Nothing was heard of Thompson again until 1844, when on a voyage from England to Newfoundland he fell in with Keating, who was to become heir to the secret of the Cocos island treasure. Soon after Thompson had confided his secret to Keating he died. His death aroused no suspicion at the time, but long afterwards in the light of events Keating was suspected of having murdered him. Keating took over Thompson's effects, including his map of Cocos island. By Thompson's death, Keating became the sole possessor in all the world of the secret of the Cocos island treasure. How Keating lifted the treasure on two voyages to the island already has been told. ARE YOU FREE FROM Headaches, Colds, Indigestion Pains, Constipation, Sour Stomach, Dizziness?

'A Strong Man's Experience Writing from a busy railroad town the wife of an employee of one of the great roads says: "My husband is a railroad man who has been so much benefited by the use of Postmum that he wishes me to express his thanks to you for the good it has done him. His waking hours are taken up with his work, and he has no time to write himself. "He has been a great tea drinker all his life and has always liked it strong. "Tea has, of late years, acted on him like morphine does upon most people. At first it soothed him, but only for an hour or so, then it began to affect his nerves to such an extent that he could not sleep at night, and he would go to his work in the morning wretched and miserable from the loss of rest. This condition grew constantly worse, until his friends persuaded him, some four months ago, to quit tea and use Postum. "At first he used Postum only for breakfast, but as he liked the taste of it, and it somehow seemed to do him good, he added it to his evening meal. Then, as he grew better, he began to drink it for his noon meal, and now he will drink nothing else at table. "His condition is so wonderfully him proved that he could not be hired to give up Postum and go back to tea. His nerves have become steady and reliable once more, and his sleep is easy natural and refreshing. He owes all this to Postum, for he has taken no medicine and made no other change in his diet. "His brother, who was very nervous from coffee-drinking, was persuaded by us to give up the coffee and use Postum and he also has recovered his health and strength." Name given by Postum Co.

Hamang plot and defeat by Esther (occupying nearly the whole year), B. C. 474. Samaritan captain of the Persian Empire, about 200 miles southeast from Babylon and 125 miles north of the Persian Gulf. There are two principal theories concerning the historical nature of the Book of Esther: one, that it is a veritable history; the other, that it is a historical romance founded on fact, like Shakespeare's Julius Caesar and Henry VIII., or like Scott's novels, or Homer's great epics. While there are a number of serious difficulties, yet there are few if any unanswerable arguments against its being a true history. Xerxes is the Greek shortened form of the Ahasuerus of Esther, as York, for instance, is a shortened form of the Latin Eboracum. He began to reign B. C. 485 and ruled for 20 years. We can best understand Esther by means of those parts of his history which reveal his character. Xerxes at the very beginning of his reign completed the conquest of Egypt which his father Darlus had begun. On his return he immediately began to prepare for the invasion of Europe, and especially of Greece. Xerxes sought a queen in place of the deposed Vashti. The one selected from the most beautiful women of the empire was Esther, a charming Jewess, a descendant of one of the exiles, her great-grandfather being among those carried captive to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar in 598. Her Hebrew name was Hadassah, the myrtle, a beautiful and favorite shrub in the east. "Esther" means "a star," and many think it the same as Ishtar the Babylonian equivalent of Venus. She must have been quite young at the time of her marriage, not over 15 years. Four or five years pass, and then begins the tragic story of Haman, his rise as a king's favorite, his pride incensed at the conduct of Esther's cousin Mordecal, his attempt to bring vengeance upon the whole Jewish race on Mordecal's account, his success in obtaining a decree from the king, throughout his empire, "to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish all Jews, both young and old, little children, and women, in one day." Great mourning and terrible distress came upon the Jews all over the empire as they learned of the decree. Mordecal sent word to Esther, now about 20 years old, asking her to go to the king and request the deliverance of her people. Esther replied "Whosoever shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death. Except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden scaper." There was, therefore, a possibility of Esther's reaching the ears of the king, but with the greatest uncertainty as to how such a capricious king would act, especially as his love for her had cooled. The mission Mordecal committed to Esther was one of great danger and difficulty. It required the utmost heroism. Esther put on her royal apparel. She was a sensible, practical woman, and used her beauty and charm of person and of dress to accomplish her object. She waited for the fitting time. The king held out the golden sceptre. The sign that he received her, and that the most dangerous part of her mission was over. Instead of asking her favor, where she would be surrounded by spies and possible enemies, she invited the king to a banquet in the seclusion of the Harem gardens. She invited Haman her enemy to join with the king and thus ward off all suspicion, and at the same time have him where he could not escape. Esther presented her petition in wise words and pointed out Haman as the enemy who was seeking her life and the life of her people. The king was very angry and immediately deposed Haman, and had him hanged on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecal. The result was a counteracting decree, permitting the Jews to stand up in their own defense, and large numbers of their enemies were slain. The Jews were saved from destruction, and exalted before the people. Mordecal took Haman's place in the government. The feast of Purim was instituted with great feasting and joy, and has been celebrated annually ever since on the fourteenth of Adar, February-March, one month before Esther. One of the most interesting studies in the story of Esther is to trace the ways of divine providence, and see how God makes all things work together for the good of his people. God's sovereign grace and man's free will are here seen in perfect harmony. Heroism in Every Day Life is the expression and cultivation of the heroic spirit in our ordinary daily living.

CANADA'S IMMENSE WHEAT FIELDS CANADA'S IMMENSE WHEAT FIELDS THE ATTRACTION FOR THREE TRANSCONTINENTAL RAIL-WAYS. Last August there visited the Canadian west the vice-president of the largest individual hardware company in the United States. As his firm have a turnover of millions, and deals extensively with farm implements, this man took a deep interest in crop conditions in Canada, and on his return he embodied his findings in an article for the Hardware Reporter. This article should be of special interest to farmers. The writer speaks of the importance of the spring wheat crop of Western Canada. He might also have spoken of the importance of the oat crop and also of the winter wheat crop, as well as barley. Winter wheat during the past few years has been a great success, and experiments have shown that it can be grown with success in almost any portion of the three provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. But apart from this, the spring wheat crop is the one generally grown, and all who know anything of grain, anyone who has had anything to do with markets, knows or has heard of the high character of this cereal and the splendid yields that are annually produced. Reproducing from this article:— "In a land of such great sweep, and of such difference in soil and climate, there are many resources, but none are at present of the same overwhelming importance as the spring wheat crop. In the interminable prairie stretches of the northwest provinces it is the one absorbing topic of interest and of conversation during its growing and its harvesting, for upon its success or failure hangs the weal or woe of a large part of the Dominion. Its influence extends far down into the United States, drawing thousands of farmers northwards with the lure of cheap lands, but likewise beyond the great lakes, even to the easy going maritime provinces, calling the flower of their young men to its opportunities. Development in these prairie provinces goes on at high pressure for everything hangs on the outcome of spring wheat. Success has emboldened the raisers of this one allimportant crop, and each year there is further incursion into those northern fields that only a short time ago were regarded as Arctic wastes. The Canadian Northwest seems to be one of those modern agricultural examples set forth to drive the final nail in the coffin of that ancient Malthusian delusion that population tends to outrun the means of subsistence, since the only fear now among Canadian economists is as to the danger of overstocking the wheat market. Only about two and one-half per cent of possible arable lands in the northwest provinces is now under cultivation, and this year the crop promises to be close to 200,000,000 bushels, so that your imagination and your arithmetic can easily supply the answer as to the possible or even probable outcome." During the months of July and August the weather was unfavourable and the production of a 200 million yield of wheat will not likely be realized, but even with this, the threshing reports coming to hand show that the crop will be a splendidly paying one. Luck. Braggs—Bah! Luck is but the product of care and diligence. Waggs—Yes.

I used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment but a short time before I could see that he was improving, and in six weeks' time he was entirely cured. He had suffered about six weeks before we tried the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although we had tried several other things, and doctors, too. I think the Cuticura Remedies will do all that is claimed for them, and a great deal more." (Signed) Mrs. Noble Tubman, Dodson, Mont, Jan. 28, 1911.

RARE FORMS OF MARINE LIFE Beaked Whales and West Indian Echinoids Are Described In the Bulletins of the National Museum. The United States National museum has issued two bulletins in the quarterseries. Of these the first, Bulletin 73 is "An account of the beaked whales of the family Ziphidae in the collection of the United States National museum, with remarks on some specimens in other American museums," by Dr. Frederick W. True, head curator of the department of biology in the United States National museum. The beaked whales are among the rarest cetaceans and of the three genera only specimens representing about 100 individuals are known. The three genera in the family Ziphidae are Mesoplodon, Ziphius and Beradius, and to the discussions of these with their individual species Doctor True has devoted his attention. The second of these bulletins, No. 74, is "On Some West Indian Echinoids," by the well known authority, Theodore Mortenson of the Zoological museum of Copenhagen, Denmark. Of special interest in this bulletin is the list of North American and West Indian Echinoids, which he has carefully compiled from the specimens obtained by the Blake and the Alpatross. The bulletin is beautifully illustrated by 16 full-page plates of these interesting forms of marine life. When Tower Loomed It was while Charlemagne Tower was ambassador to Russia that a New York city newspaper "spread itself upon a fete held at St. Petersburg.

A Monster Loaf Bakers in Germany are fond of making odd experiments, the following being reported from Duisburg, 'n West phalia. At a children's party recently held in that town there was exhibited and afterwards and distributed among the young present, a bread twist which for so at least has surreally been equaled. Weighing no less than 180 pounds, it had a breadth of six feet and a length of ten feet, and was thus found sufficient to supply a satisfactory afternoon collation to many as 500 boys and girls.

The sausage dates back to the year 1897. It has been asserted that the Greeks in the days of Homer manufactured sausages, but this prehistoric mixture had nothing in common with our modern product. The ancient so-called sausage was composed of the same materials which enter into the make-up of the boudin of the French market and the blood pudding of the French-Canadian. The ancient sausage was enveloped in the stomachs of goats. Not until the tenth century did the sausage made of hashed pck become known. It was in or near the year 1500 that, thanks to the introduction into Germany of cinnamon and saffron, the sausages of Frankfort and Strassburg acquired a universal reputation. Almost Impossible to Impose Upon Handlers of Money. Incidentally it is interesting to note that the skill which enables one to detect a counterfeit comes not from study of counterfeitfs, but from a shi-ough and unconscious familiarity with the genuine. If a man were pointed out to you and you were told that some day another who much resembled him would try to impose upon you, you would be pretty apt to fix his features in your mind; you would not spend any time looking at other people who looked something like him, would you? And the moment the impostor appeared you would note that in this, that or the other particular he failed to meet the details of the other man's face and figure. Just so it is in the detection of counterfeitfs. A skillful teller in a bank, counting money rapidly, will involuntarily throw out a note which in the slightest degree departs from the well-known pattern which is so strongly impressed on his mental vision. That involuntary act will nearly always prove to have been justified, for the bill in 19 cases out of 20 will prove to be a counterfeit. It is because of this fact that when a request is received from some one to loan him a collection of counterfeitfs for the instruction of his cashiers, he is advised to have the young mea- study the genuine carefully, and there will be no trouble in detecting the bad notes.-National Magazine. REMARKABLE IN THE DOG LINE Proud Owners of Pets, Listen to This from Flatbush, N. Y. Zip, a son of Bluff, the big bull terrier, is the most respected dog in Flatbush, N. Y., says a correspondent. He requires every other dog within 40 blocks to walk a chalk line and bow to him as he passes by. He can lick everything on four feet up to twice his size, yet is as mild as Devery-at-the Pump. His master attributes Zip's prowess to his fondness for the pipe. Like Old King Cole: He calls for his fiddlers three. "That is the most remarkable dog in the world," says his master. "He takes my pipe out of my mouth and smokes it, standing on his hind feet. See! The stem is all chewed up! If the tobacco doesn't burn well, Zip will get down on his fours and chase all over the house to create a draught. When the fire is well started again he finishes his smoke and returns me the pipe. Strong? He ought to be named Samson. Why, we have a plano that weighs 600 pounds. Tie Zip to it with a rope and he will pull it all over the room." Since supporting race enterprises is right, men are coming to the doctrine with their mouths forgeting of the fact that talk is cheap. A Knowing Dog. "Now," said the narrator, "I've got a dog here I would not take $100 for. You can believe me or not, but what I am going to tell you is the gospel truth. In the early part of last spring I lost about a stray, very valuable sheep, until one day I was looking across from my house to the edge of the range opposite about two miles away. I noticed some sheep. I got my telescope, and assured myself that they were mine. I placed the telescope in a suitable position, and made Bob, our best colle, loc. through it. After about a minute the dog wagged his tail and made off. In less than two hours he brought the sheep home safe and sound." Rater A captain on an ocean liner tells the following story: Coming from the old country was a very nervous old lady who complained that she was sure there was a rat in her stateroom. "Keep it there, madam," said the captain. "But do you like rats?" asked she. "I've got a nest in my cabin," reported the brusque seaman, "and I never disturb them. When they leave the ship I do." "Why, you must be superstitious," urged the dame. "No, ma'am," wound up the captain. "I'm not, but the rats are." Send Your News In Early This Week. HOW TO MEET A LION BRITISH SURGEON EXPLAINS ETH QUETTE FOR OCCASION. If King of Beasts Fails to Realize He Is de Trop Tourist Should Walk Avray With Becoming Dignity. The etiquette to be observed when a peacefully inclined tourist or explorer meets a lion in the jungle is described by Sir Frederick Treves, the distinguished British surgeon, in this book, "Uganda for a Holiday," just published in England. "The tourist coming to British East Africa," he says, "is sure to inquire as to the line of conduct that should be observed when a lion is encountered by the way. In answer to such inquiry I was told that the etiquette suitable for the occasion was the following: If the lion when met with is walking in the opposite direction to the tourist the animal should be allowed to continue his walk without comment. If, however, the lion stops and stares at the tourist it is proper that the tourist should 'Shish' the animal away, as he would an obtrusive goose on a village green. Should the lion be unmoved by this expression of annoyance the tourist is advised to throw lumps of earth at the obtuse creature. If, after this, the lion still fails to realize a de trop, the tourist is recommended to walk away from the spot with such dignity as the strained position demands." Sir Frederick Treves has several other things to say about the animals of the wild. "The rhinoceros is the embodiment of blind conservation," he writes. "Its hide is impenetrable its vision is weak, while its intellect is weaker. It has, however, two marked qualities—combativeness and a sense of smell. It is aroused to its maximum energy by the presence of anything that is new. This object need not be a thing that is aggressive or inconvenient. Its offensiveness depends upon the fact that it is unfailliar, and the more unfamiliar the object is the worse the rhinoceros acts. "When a rhinoceros smells a man he will charge him with maniacal violence, although the man may be merely sitting on a stool reading Milton. The massive beast will dash at him like a torpedo or a runaway locomotive simply because the smell of him is novel. Actuated by this insane hate of whatever savors of an innovation, the rhinoceros has charged an iron water tank on the outskirts of a camp and has crumpled it up as a blacksmith would an empty meat thin "A conservative rhinoceros with a senile dislike of anything new once charged a train on the Uganda railway, but with no more serious results than the tearing away of the footboard of a carriage. As regards the rhinoceros in this case, it appeared surprised that a thing composed, as it had imagined, of flesh and blood, could be so hard. It went off with an additional grievance and an increased swelling of the head." Tournament on Sea Horses. Humor has often told us of sea horses, but with amused incredulity we have always waved the tales aside. Faith is, however, no longer called upon, for in the water of Huntington bay, on the north shore of Long island, actual sea horses are dally capering in highly spectacular water sports, even in a quaint revival of the ancient tournament. The strange beasts have been brought to us from France and are ingeniously composed of a barrel, weighted on one side which is under water, and decorated with an expressive head and an aggressive tail. As soon as one mounts upon the rotund back of one of these beasts it shows its temper, for, although tame and mild enough when grazing among the waves by themselves, they are fiends incarnate as soon as one attempts to throw a leg over them. They kick and buck in a manner which would appall a Buffalo Bill himself. One of the daily features of the beach at Huntington is a tournament in which armed knights, each astrider of a prancing sea horse, face each other for battle royal. The riders are equipped with long lances, well wadded at the end with "stuffing." With there the knights paddle their course to each other, and then with lances poised the battle begins. Qualification for Office The little trial I have had of public employment has been so much disgust to me; I feel at times temptations toward ambition rising in my soul; but I obstinately oppose them. "But thou, Catullus, be thou firm to the last." I am seldom called to it, and as seldom offer myself uncalled; liberty and laziness, the qualities most predomnant in me, are qualities diametrically contrary to that trade. We cannot well distinguish the faculties of men to conclude from the discreet conduct of a private life, a capacity for the management of public affairs, is to conclude ill; a man may govern himself well, who cannot govern others so; and compose essays, who could not work effects; men there may be who can order a siege well, or would fil marshal a battle; who can speak well in private, who would ill harangue a people or a prince; nay, they peradventure rather a testimony in him, who can do the one, that he cannot do the other, than otherwise. From Montaligne.
