Chicago, Illinois.—Three and a half million dollars is given as an estimate of the amount lost by Adolph J. Lichtstern, as the result of his struggle to get out from under the heavy load of wheat he took on in the "May corner." The big speculators are frightened by the federal investigation of the corner. While no one was able to say exactly what the speculator paid for the wheat it was generally believed the average price was near $1.04. Added to that was 9 cents a bushel he was compelled to pay for storage, at the rate of $1½ cents a bushel per month, since that time. The price he secured when he sold his holdings was also kept secret but safe brokers say they believed it to be about 94 cents, making a loss of 19 cents a bushel on approximately 18,000,000 bushels. Lichstern led a rush on the important longs to rid themselves of their holdings, but the stability of the board prevented any serious consequences. The speculator and the others who unloaded worked as carefully as possible and as a result the bottom did not drop out of the market, although there had been a dangerous sagging for days. The financial difficulties of the small traders, too, had been anticipated and created but little disturbance in the pit. It had been common rumor that certain firms were on the verge of being forced to close out their trades and while it added to the general unrest the news that the failures had taken place did not cause any panic.

INDIAN BOYS TO HAVE SHARE INDIAN BOYS TO HAVE SHARE THEIR RIGHTS UPHELD BY COURT DECISION. Adult Members of Cherokee Nation Must Split Over Five Million Dollars With Children. Washington, D. C.—Right of 5,600 Cherokee Indian children in Oklahoma to share in an undistributed allotment of $5,500,000 from the government to the Cherokee nation has been confirmed by the district court of appeals. The court declares the children are entitled to share with the 6,000 original members of the Cherokee nation in surplus lands and money belonging to the tribe. The children were born in 1902, when the Cherokee enrollment was made. Their right to share in the surplus fund was denied by the senior members of the tribe in a test suit brought by Levi V. Gritts, Richard M. Wolfe and Frank J. Boudinot against Secretary of the Interior Fisher and Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh. The original members of the tribe were allotted 110 acres of land each. There was an excess of 440,000 acres, and $2,500,000 in cash, all claimed by the original members. Fisher and MacVeagh had planned to distribute the surplus pro rata among the adults and children born since 1902, as authorized by congress. Now the court of appeals has said that congress has authority to delay enrollment of the tribe so as to include new born children. The decision was written by Justice Barnard of the district supreme court, who was substituted for Associate Justice Van Orsdel of the court of appeals, who had been interested in the litigation before his appointment to the appellate bench.

MADE CONVERT OF OLD SILAS Member of School Board May Have Had Deep Thoughts, but Anyway He Was Satisfied. The athletic young woman who taught the district school was on trial for soundly thrashing seven unruly boys. "You—you think you can control the situation, do—do you?" inquired the president of the school board, who stuttered. "I can," replied the young woman with considerable decision. "Well, I don't know about this," grinned Silas / Weatherwax. "If my boy needs a lickin' I can give it to him myself. I don't believe in miscellaneous lickin's." "Neither do I," she said. "If thrashings are to be administered I think it much better for one person to administer them. And after I have cleaned up the school I may decide to go out and clean up the township." A moment later when a vote of confidence in the teacher was called for, the "aye" of Silas Weatherwax was 'he loudest of all. ERUPTION COVERED BODY "Three years ago this winter I had a breaking out that covered my whole body. It itched so it seemed as if I should go crazy. It first came out in little pimples on my back and spread till it covered my whole body and limbs down to my knees, also my arms down to my elbows. Where I scratched it made sores, and the terrible itching and burning kept me from sleeping. I tried several remedies all to no purpose. Then I concluded to try the Cuticura Remedies, I used the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, also the Resolvent, for about four months, and they completely cured me of eczema. I have had no return of the disease since. I never had a good night's rest after the skin eruption first broke out till I commenced using the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I had only used them a few days before I could see they were beginning to heal, and the terrible itching was gone. "Those that lived in the house at the time know how I suffered, and how the Cuticura Soap and Ointment cured me. I never take a bath without using the Cuticura Soap, and I do not believe there are better remedies for any skin disease than the Cuticura Soap and Ointment." (Signed) Miss Sarah Calkins, Waukegan, Ill., Mar. 16, 1911. Although Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold by drugstores and dealers everywhere, a sample of each, with 32-page book, will be mailed free on application to "Cuticura," Dept. 5 K, Boston.

The young mother—and many an old one, too—is often puzzled to know the location of its crying ill nature. The necessity of its crying ill need necessarily indicate the seriousness of its trouble. It may have nothing more the matter with it than a headache or a feel-good cry. In a course, describe its feelings, but as a preliminary measure you are safe in trying a mild laxative. In trying a mild need, you will find it all the child needs, for its restlessness and peevishness are perhaps due to obstruction of the bowels, and once that has been remedied the headache, the sluggishness of many other disorders of constipation and indigestion will quickly disappear. Don't give the little one salts, cathartic pills or nasal waters, for these are too strong for a child.

In America the word has been misused for seeminess in mentioning the usual heart af- fairs of royalty, but it is an ex- act term of purely German genealogical law, and means a legal and binding marriage that does not raise an un-royal wife to royal rank. Now, if a false morganatic marriage is the easiest thing imaginable and a true one disadvantageous but quite possible, how shall we sufficiently admire an emperor who lifts a little countess to be empress beside him? Add an unstable throne, new in itself, newly mounted, in sore need of royal alliances; add the bitter opposition of his family, the laugh of the world, the contempt of statesmen, and the estrangement of partisans; make the beloved one a foreigner completely unpopular with his people, and you will have the elements of Napoleon III's heroism in loving Eugenie. Few kings since Cophetua have loved like this. Among so many royal loves that lacked devotion, it shines like a star. It begins with a gypsy at Madrid. Eugenie's mother, a widow, camarera mayor to the queen, lived in her own house in the Plaza del Angel. One day—Eugenie being thirteen and a tomboy—they refused to take her in the Prado carriage promenade, which, with the opera, still remains the common ground where poor, proud families meet the great ones of Madrid as equals. The Countess de Montijo clung to her carriage and her opera box. Alone, Tomboy Eugenie was sliding down the banister. She slid too strong, banged against the fly-screen front door, and fell inanimate. A gypsy woman, passing, took the girl's head in her lap and brought her to. Then she looked attentively at her and said: "The senorita was born under the open sky, the night of a battle." "What!" exclaimed the countess, returned with the carriage. She was struck by the truth of the words. Thirteen years ago, at Granada, an earthquake had forced them to camp a night in the garden, and Eugenie was there prematurely born. "What will be her future?" asked the superstitious mother. "She will be queen," said the gypsy. The prediction was bold, and beauty only could lift the thirteen-year-old girl to its realization; but beauty had already done much for that family. So dreamed the mother. She herself had been a really poor girl, daughter of a British subject who had failed in business in Malaga. His name was Kirkpatrick, and he had long been American vice-consul. He had married one of two beautiful sisters, yet still poorer—see how hereditary beauty will force its way, through four generations, from its unadorned self to a throne! The first was a poor Spanish girl, Gallegros, whose sole possession was her beauty. Grevigne, French wine merchant of Malaga, married her and had two lovely daughters; and two foreign consuls, French de Lesseps and Scotch Kirkpatrick, lifted them by marriage to the first rounds of the social ladder. From the De Lesseps alliance came the "grand Francais" of Suez and Panama; but Kirkpatrick's wife gave him a daughter of such rare charms that a Spanish grandee, with a place at court and of considerable family, married her for love. He was a duke, a marquis, a viscount and a baron, but the title by which he had been known to the world was Count de Montijo. He had two daughters fairer yet than mother, grandmother or great-grandmother, and he died. Eugenie was one, her sister Pacca was the other. On the thirteen-year-old girl the gypsy's prediction made a formative impression. Confirming it, as she grew up she saw her elder sister Pacca (Maria Francisca) make an unprecedented match even in that family. Pacca caught the rich and mighty Duke of Alva. Higher than the Duke of Alva could only be a king. Eugenie, growing up, refused brilliant Spanish offers; first the Duke of Ossuna, then the rich and handsome young Duke of Sesto. Sesto in truth inspired her with "a certain sympathy and admiration. He was so attractive." But it was not love. Deep in her heart she loved a dream prince, the unknown of the gypsy, endowed by her girl's fancy with a thousand charming attributes. She smiled at the absurdity of it. Where could such a prince be? Yet she held off from all other suitors. at an unexpected premonition. The handsome, dark-browed, careworn man, still young, who, as French president, received at the Elysee, became a romantic figure in her eyes. Eugenie wished to attend a presidential reception. Her mother hesitated. It would make them ridiculous with the mildewed smart set. "But my father was an officer of the great Napoleon," said Eugenie, and she had her way. The prince-president, weighed down with the Romances Near to Thrones Napoleon III and Eugenie by STERLING WILIG Copyright by PEARSON PUB. CO. NAPOLBON III BUGANIE "COND BY WAY OF THE CHAPEL" MADEMORSELLER, WHICH WAY SHALL I TAKE TO GET YOU? dangerous and complicated details of his plot was struck by the girl's beauty. That evening he sought her out a second time. He was touched and flattered by the romantic interest she showed in his person and his cause. The beautiful girl stuck in his mind. He felt as if he had always known her. He knew that he would meet her again. Eugenie felt the same mysterious attraction. "Ah, would that I could help him!" She thought of the lonely prince and his risky ambitions that were being laughed about in Paris as an open secret. At the moment of the coup d'etat she fairly burned with anxiety. She dashed about the little flat like a tigress. "What can I do?" she asked herself. "What can I do to aid him?" That night Napoleon received a letter. It was from a romantic, inexperienced girl, but ardent and sincere. It gave him her good wishes and audaciously offered him all she possessed should his projects need ready money. After December 2 it was the Empire in fact if not in name. Napoleon gave hunts like a sovereign, at Fontainebleau and Complegne. At these he met again the beautiful Spanish girl, fearless horsewoman, tireless dancer. He remembered above all her letter written in that dark hour of his wavering chances. His love at first sight for Eugenie was soon noticed, showing itself full-blown in the most open attentions. The girl and her mother had continual invitations to Compeigne and the Tulleries. Napoleon soon found the uselessness of throwing his handkerchief at the beautiful foreigner. Yet he felt—he knew—that she loved him passionately. It was a desperate situation for the girl, and his heart swelled with love and pride and admiration of her. Once Eugenie and her mother were bidden to a parade review at the Tulleries. In the courtyard Napoleon drew up his horse under the windows of the first floor to salute the ladies. He wished to dismount and go up to them. "Mademoiselle," he said, addressing Eugenie, "which way shall I take to get to you?" "He was almost as new to the Tullerles as any of us," told the Eugenie of eighty-three years. "He did not know his way about the palace." "Sire," she called down to him, "you must come by the way of the chapel!" As a fact the corridor leading to the chapel was the shortest route to these rooms, but Napoleon understood her hidden meaning. Again, one afternoon at Compeigne, when the flower of the brand-new emperor's court was idling around his vingt-et-un table, she made the situation clear to him. Seated at Napoleon's right, she consulted him from time to time as to her play. She found two picture cards in her hand, counting twenty out of twenty-one possible points. "Stand on that," said the emperor, "it is very high." "No," said Eugenie, "I must have all or nothing!" Every morning old Jerome Bonaparte, his uncle, last surviving brother of the great Napoleon, would arrive, confidential, flattering, siggling and a-gog with bad insinuations: "Have you got her?" Heary old sinner, unrepentant of his deserition, fifty years ago, of his true American wife in Baltimore, he had the court ladies in full slander of Eugenie before Napoleon had made up his mind, and he exercised a diabolical ingenuity in trying to prevent an honest marriage. Those first ladies of the Second Empire had extraordinary manners. One evening, at Campigne, when Eugenie was going in to dinner on the arm of Colonel de Toulongeon, a slight confusion permitted him to whisk Eugenie ahead of Madame Fortoul, wife of the minister of that name. "How," exclaimed, audibly to her cavallier, "do you permit that — creature to push past me?" The next morning Mile, de Montijo, with tears in her eyes, stood on the terrace apart from the others. It was no ruse to attract Napoleon's sympathy, the girl saw her prince-hero disappearing in a nightmare of hateful gossip. Napoleon, who had sought her, asked the cause of her sorrow. "I must leave Compigne," she faltered—and told of the slights and insults to which she was subjected. The emperor listened to the beautiful girl. Then, when she had finished, he tore a green string of ivy from a park tree, defily twisted it into a crown, and said loudly—that all might hear—as he placed it on her head: "Wear this one—meanwhile." It is a twice-told anecdote, but, as it was Napoleon's proposal of marriage, I see no way to omit it. He never actually asked her hand—he took it. Not another murmur arose from the court ladies. At once they flocked around Eugenle. It was another matter, however, for Napoleon to force his choice on the statesmen and soldiers backing his still risky empire. Opinions were divided on what royal alliance he should make. Some were for a princess of Sweden; some for a Braganza, some for the Hohenzollern. Then, suddenly, Napoleon, speaking of Eugenle, sprung the mine by saying, "There is no question but the right of hand." "No question but the right of hand!" The words ran through his backers like an alarm of fire. One with the strongest hold upon Napoleon—De Persigny, his minister of the interior—was sent to tell him in the name of all that it would not do. De Persigny, mixed up with Napoleon in many an adventure, had kept his old-comrade liberty of speech. He joked about Napoleon's admiration for Eugenie; surely the emperor must amuse himself. When he noticed that Napoleon's face grew stern, he rose to fighting arguments, brutally accumulating proofs and reasons why a marriage would be idiotic, both dynamically—and otherwise. He sneered at the Montijo title; brought out the grandfather, Kirkpatrick, bankrupt Malaga raisin merchant; and then he took up Eugenie's roving life. "What was the girl doing here in Paris?" "Did you ever hear of the young Duke of Sesto?" asked De Persigny. "Did you ever hear of Merimee?" "Merimee is a great writer," said Napoleon. "Surely—for he writes Eugenie's letters to you!" laughed De Persigny. "Mother, daughter, and newspaper man sit round the table and concoct the beautiful letters that you cherish. Really, it was not worth risking the coup d'etat to arrive at that!" What a triumph for the aged lady to recall Napoleon's steadfast love in face of both policy and slander! It was always known why Eugenie hated De Persigny, Prince Jerome and the Princess Mathilde. She could forgive political counselors who pressed the royal princesses upon Napoleon; she could not forgive the powerful ones who sought 'take away her character behind her back.' Napoleon heard them all alike. He answered nothing. Fouled and most of the military backers, with Fdward Ney and Toulongeon for their spokesmen, formed rapidly "The Clan of the Lovers." In vain did Mathilde drag herself at Napoleon's knees, begging him to renounce a marriage that would be the ruin of them all. The emperor had decided. "You will give a great ball to announce the engagement." MARIA he said to his weeping cousin. And she did it. Napoleon acted toward Eugenie with chivalrous loyalty. He laid before her all the disadvantages of the brilliant yet uncertain position he was offering her. He explained to her his unpopularity with the old French aristocrats, the bad will of certain great powers, the possibility of his being assassinated by some secret ociety of which he had become a member in his adventurous youth. There were hostilities even in the army, in his opinion the most serious danger; but he could cut them short by declaring a war. "I would not have it otherwise," she answered. "I will take my risks beside you. So may I be worthy!" As a queen she lacked dignity. She had not been born to the solemn self-appreciation of royalty; and she was a mixture of lightness and austerity, generosity and sense, kindness and indifference, in which the transitions were abrupt and disconcerting to French order- Alone among the sovereigns of Europe Queen Victoria had received her cordially; more, she had taken up Eugenie and imposed her on the courts of Europe. Yet even at Windsor, where the imperial couple were received with extraordinary pomp, Eugenie's insouciance threatened to play her a bad turn that would have illustrated her un-imperial attitude. A quarter of an hour before they were to be received by Victoria and her beloved consort in the throne room, Eugenie discovered that, among the hundred trunks of the French visitors, hers alone had not arrived! The emperor was deeply mortified that the discovery should have been made so late, as showing lack of discipline and serene orderliness, and on his advice Eugenie had already begun to pretend a headache due to suppressed seasickness when one of her ladies dared to offer her a choice of gowns. A blue dress of the simplest description seemed the only one that promised well. Great ladies and maids fell upon it deftly, and in a few minutes the blue gown was readjusted to the empress. So Eugenie—without jewels, flowers at her corsage and flowers in her hair—appeared before the British court in her own dazzling beauty. She made an immense success. What most touched Victoria's heart, it may be told, was the pathetic and pretty way in which the young couple spontaneously confided certain doubts and to her as an experienced matron and mother of eight. They had been married two years, and as yet there was no heir. When the little prince-imperial was born, one lady only was permitted to be present with the doctors and the serving-women all the time. This was the Countess of Ely, Queen Victoria's intimate friend, sent over from England to help along. As had been done for the King of Rome, it was announced in advance that should the infant be a boy, cannon would fire, not twenty-one times, but a hundred. It happened after midnight, and the Parisians, awakening, counted the cannon-shots. When they got past twenty-one, the Parisians rolled over in their beds and yawned: "Well, she is lucky!" The bigamous old Jerome had bitterly persecuted her as an interloper. His son, PlonPlon, her hater and detractor by inheritance, was not persona grata with Eugenie. So Napoleon, who enjoyed smoking cigarettes with the reprobate father of the present pretender, Victor, was forced to visit him secretly. One day, some time after the marriage, he came, sat down, and said: "Prince, does your wife make you scenes?" "No," replied the husband of Clotilde, the daughter of Victor Emmanuel. "There is no living with Eugenie," sighed Napoleon. "The moment I give audience with another woman I risk a violent quarrel." "Crack her on the side of the face the next time she makes you a scene," suggested PlonPlon. "Don't think of it," exclaimed the emperor. "You don't know Eugenie; she would open a window of the Tulleries and cry "Police!"" To the end women took advantage of this breezy independence, natural exuberance, and inadicable unconventionality of Eugenie to lay traps for her. Hers was a continuous performance of the Lady walking amid the rout of Comus. Among others, Mme. de Metternich, wife of the Austrian ambassador, seemed to have vowed Eugenie's destruction. Once, at Fontainebleau, she almost led her into going to the races in short skirts. "My dear Pauline," someone asked her, "would you counsel your own sovereign to get herself up in short skirts?" "That is different," replied the Metternich, "my empress is a royal princess, a real empress, while yours, my dear, is . . . Mademoiselle de Montjol!" Was she only Mademoiselle de Montjol? Did she not keep her word: "So may I be worthy!" to the Empire and to France? Twenty years later, in her dealings with Bismarck after the Franco-Prussian war, Eugene had practically concluded a treaty while refusing to concede "an inch of French territory." The Republicans, taking the deal out of her hands, agreed to the loss of Alsace and Lorraine. Sloan's Liniment is a reliable remedy for any kind of horse lameness.

TOOK UMBRAGE AT ASPERSION Citizens Resented Being Voted for as Town's "Meanest Man." Old Scrooge might be a philanthropic Carnegie alongside certain tightwads in Mount Vernon, but William Friedberg has no license to determine publicly who are the men who would squeeze a dollar until the eagle yelled: "Help! I'm melting!" For conducting a voting contest to determine the meanest man in Mount Vernon Friedberg, who keeps a cigar store there, was fined five dollars by Judge Platt here. A warning went with the fine. Friedberg lives in Astoria, but does business in Mount Vernon. He placed in his window a placard: "Come in and vote for the meanest man in Mount Vernon!" This was followed by a list of names. Consipuous in the lot were the mayor and chief of police. Then came many solid and stald citizens. After every name was a number signifying the votes the owner of the name had received so far. Great was the wrath of the so-called "meanest men." Friedberg was ordered to take the sign out of the window, but he refused to do so. His indictment for libel followed. In court he pleaded guilty, but asserted he did not know he was violating any law. White Plains Cor. New York Sun.

Recently there came a real baby into the house. When it was put into her arms the five-year-old surveyed it with critical eye. "Isn't it a nice baby?" asked the nurse. "Yes, it's nice," answered the youngster hesitatingly. "It's nice, but it's head's loose." The Qualt Belluga.

It is so abundant that the natives of Astracan throw away the flesh—which is whiter than veal and very salinity—and preserve only the spawns of which they sometimes take as much as 200 pounds out of one fish.

His parents are convinced that Chance 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 witness. 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. Clarence 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 cut 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. ```markdown ``` 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 after the feet not through Consider their tight boots—made so tight that they caused the most encrusting agony. And remember that the dandles of that day would carefully polish these burning, blasting, pinching, agonising 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 bootfish 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 jimcreaks 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 excoelior would show through. Think of the bepowdered and becuried 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-rolled hair and his colored feathers. But what's the use? He's not so pretty now. Only he really hadn't enguher scoff so much at hobble skirts and peach-basket hats and Chinese hair switches and things. He really hadn't enguher. 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 as 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. — Life. Kalser's Insult to a Courtler 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 flirt 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?" "Verra 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 an awallowin' of it!"—Answer PRUNKS LEAD THE IDEAL SIMPLE LIFE. Finns Devote Summer Months to Enjoyment and Pursuit of Health. 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, and the town councils of the towns 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 watch fireworks and practice gymnastics, they all become like children and are the happiest, merriest, most good matured, 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 Norlens Magazine. This region extends from the northern boundaries of Peru to the southern limits of Costa Rica. in one section alone 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 antiquity. The famed marble chairs of Rome at its zenith were not more symmetrical or beautifully carved than those of one of these unknown civilisations. No pottery of any other age in race was more delicately patterned than that found in vast quantities, as numerous almost as pebbles, on the sites where these extinct peoples dwelt.

In the winter months, when the ground is covered with snow and the fire burns in the stove, the season when the family dreams of the new house. Nor is there any more laudable ambition than to own a home. The curse of modern life is the necessity that compels millions to live in rented apartments or houses. And every normal man who pays rent hopes some time to own a home of his own. His children, he feels, have a right to live under a roof of their own, and it is his ambition to give them what is their right. Once there was a man who decided to build himself a home. This man had a few notions about what he wanted in his house when it was finished, he also knew how much he wanted to expend in the construction of it. He had gone into all the details and had figured out all about the interior trim and the kind of glass he wanted in the house. Every detail he had figured out and he had made up his mind about everything before he consulted his architect. Then in the natural order of events he went to see his architect and laid before him his ideas. Everything was clear and the architect proceeded to draw up his plans after the directions given. Then the next step was the asking of bids from contractors. There were six bids, and all were within a hundred dollars of one another. The architect felt sure that the figures were right in each case and advised his client to make his selection. But the client came to the conclusion that the work could be done for less money and he asked for bids from other contractors. The results was the offer of one, an unknown contractor, to do the work for a ridiculously low figurer. The client wanted the contract let to this man, but the architect, who had experience, advised him to give the No.603 work to one of the first bidders because they were men who had reputations for good work. The client was insistent and the job was let to the man of his choice. The house was built, but what a difference from what had been planned. Inferior and cheap grades of materials were used in every possible form and in every item of the construction. There was careless work everywhere, and things were changed in the details to such an extent that when the house was finished KITCHEN 14A-12-6 MATRIMONY PLAN DINING ROOM 14A-13 MALL STAIR MED MALL 14A-11-6 LAVING ROOM 14A-10-4 FORCE First Floor Plan. It was not satisfactory from any point of view. It was then that the owner woke up to the fact that he had made a mistake. All to late he realized the fact that he had sacrificed the quality and appearance of his home to save a few dollars. The unknown contractor had built the house at the price he had agreed on, but the house was far from being the one the owner had expected. Now, the experience of this man is typical of that of all home builders who try to get their work done by unknown contractors or at figures too low. A few hundred dollars may be saved at the time, but in the end it is an extremely expensive undertaking. The way to go about building a house is to enter upon the enterprise just as you would in buying a spit of clothes. If you go to a good tailor of reputation you are sure to get a good suit. If you go to a Cheap John place you will get a suit that will not please you. In building a home the acme of desire is a house that will come within the reasonable limits of what has been planned, and the only plan to follow is to have a man do the work who has a reputation for following the plans of the architect and using honest ma- BED ROOM 12'4"W BED ROOM 12'4"W BATH ROOM 12'4"W WALL BED ROOM 12'4"W BED ROOM 12'4"W Second Floor Plan.

It is the style of house that is peculiarly American, and which answers the requirements of modern life. There is a wide porch surmounted by a rail, that makes the roof available for use on summer nights. Entrance to the house is had through a large reception hall. The width of this house, by the way, is 25 feet, 6 inches, and the length is 36 feet, 6 inches, exclusive of the porch. Off the main reception hall and entered THE HOME OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOL FOR YOUNG PERSONS through a wide doorway is the living room. This room is 12 feet 8 inches by 15 feet 4 inches in dimensions. The vital point about a house is to provide it with a dining room that will answer all requirements as to size. This plan calls for a dining room 12 feet wide and 13 feet long, of sufficient size to meet ordinary demands as to space. The kitchen and pantry are conveniently arranged and a china closet is located back of the pantry. On the second floor are four bedrooms and a bathroom, with plenty of closet room. This is a practical, common-sense house design that makes a satisfactory home. The estimated cost of the building is 2,800. He Felt It. "Football," cried the old gentleman in the Red Lion smokerroom.

GOLDEN TEXT--'God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil.--Eccel. 12:14. The event described belongs to the last years of the exile, B. C. 539, when Babylon was taken by Cyrus and his generals. The decree of return, and the first return, occurred a year or two later. PLACE-Babylon the capital, enlarged, beautified and fortified by Nebuchadnezar. Under the great Nebuchadnezzar Babylon rose in grandeur, power and extent, till it became the most magnificent and beautiful city of antiquity. In those days Babylon was the metropolis of the world, the center of commerce, art and wisdom. The wealth of the world poured into its coffers. Babylon was the strongest fortress in all the world. Belshazzar was the acting king of Babylon at the time of this lesson, while his father Nabonidus was the nominal and legal king who lived and warred outside of the city. Cyrus had been advancing toward Babylon. He gained a decisive victory over Nabonidus, on his way to the capital, and his army entered the city without fighting, and peace was proclaimed. A portion of the city, probably the citadel including the royal palace, held out for some time, being occupied by the army of Belshazzar as a rallying place. Two or three weeks later Cyrus made his triumphal entry into the city. Seven days later, the general of Cyrus stormed that part of Babylon which had held out against his army, and on that night Belshazzar was slain. It was during this week that Belshazzer made a magnificent banquet to encourage his generals and princes in their struggle with the Medo-Persian foe. At his feast, therefore, Belshazzar sought to remind his warriors of the old campaigns their forefathers had fought. He had in his possession the treasures which these forefathers had carried from Jerusalem when they conquered Israel and, as it seemed to them, Israel's Jehovah. His conduct thus was not merely that of a drunken debauchee, but partly of a cool politician, when amid the applause of a thousand courtiers and army commanders he ordered the sacred vessels of the Temple of Jerusalem to be brought into the hall of feasting. Such a scene would fill the hearts of the wine-infamed warriors and nobles to overflowing with daring, and also bring a worthy occasion for the divine interference to encourage his people on the eve of their deliverance. In the midst of the carousel, the king saw the fingers of a man's hand writing strange words, "letters of fate and characters of fear," on the wall in the full blaze of the candlestick, perhaps the great golden candlestick taken from the temple. There is something blood-curdling in the visibility of but a part of the hand and its busy writing. Belshazzar, in his terror and horror, summoned his wise men to declare what the strange apparition and the blazing letters meant, and promised great rewards to the one who should interpret them; but all failed. Either they could not make sense of the letters, or could not perceive what meaning they had. Then the queen mother, mother of Belshazzar, came in and spoke of Daniel as one who had shown great gifts at interpretation to his grandfather Nebuchadnezzar. It took place before this boy king was born, and he, naturally, knew nothing about the story. Daniel was sent for, and came into the festival hall. He heard the king's offer, and spurning it, spoke brave and true words which might easily cost him his life. He told the story of Nebuchadnezzar's fall from the height of pride, and accused him of dishonoring the true God. Then he interpreted the message written on the palace walls: "Thou art welged in the balances and found wanting." The want of religious restraints and motives, exposes one undefended to the powers of temptation. Belshazzar would enrich the splendor of his feast by the sacred goblets and dishes of gold that Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple at Jerusalem. They were brought, and made to be instruments for drunken revelry and lust, and worship of idols, thus declaring that the idols had given them the victory over the God of the Jews. The social power of the wine cup, its connection with feasting, comradeship, hospitality, good cheer, is one of its most dangerous attractions. And one of the chief defences against its power lies in showing that good cheer, fellowship, sociability, eating together, may be enjoyed in the highest degree where men "eat and drink and in communion sweet quaff immortality and joy," without the fascination of the wine cup. Belshazzar lost his city and his kingdom. So still by intemperance are men continually throwing away the kingdom God has prepared for them, the kingdom of manhood, the kingdom of self-control, the kingdom of the world in which we live and of its laws which we can compel to aid us in all that is good. The days of intemperance are numbered when all the boys become total abstainers. The wise young man sees to it that the whole question of the use of intoxicating liquors is weighed in the balances of reason, of science, of observation. AT THE WICHITA THEATRES. "GOLDEN RANCH ROUND-UP"— LYCEUM. At the Lyceum for the week beginning Monday, Nov. 6, North Bros. Stock Co. will present the first melodrama of the season at that popular house. The play is "Golden Ranch Round-Up" and is from the well-known author and lecturer, Rev. Ralph Davis. The story is of life on the cattle ranges of the great southwest and is written in his peculiar and inimitable style Rev. Davis is a very close friend of Mr. "Sport" North, spending nearly all his vacations with Mr. North and his company. The play of "Golden Ranch Round-Up" he wrote especially for North Bros. Co., and the production presented at the Lyceum will be from the author's original script. Miss Seenore Rilla Knorr, a member of the company will appear in this production. All the old favorites will be seen in congenial roles. MODERN WOMEN LACK GRACE Famous Artist Says Fair Sex Never Before Walked or Carried Itself so Badly. Marcus Stone, R. C., the famous artist, says: "I do not believe that women—or men either, for that matter—have ever walked or carried themselves as badly as they do now, the women with their elbows out, their shoulders up, their necks pushed forward, the men for the most part chestless creatures with sloping necks. Arms were not made to stick out on either side like jug handles. "Of course, as an artist I am at war with fashion and its constant changes—which prevent woman evolving a dress which expresses her individuality—but especially with the fashion of wearing corsets, which, to my mind, destroy the outlines of the figure and cramp the freedom of woman's movements. Never before in my life has woman been so much imprisoned and laced up as she is today—that is to say, of course, all except the willowy women, whose figures accord with present fashion. How can she move gracefully in a tube which pushes her shoulders up, shortens her neck, and sends her elbows out? The sloping attitude of neck adopted by men and women I attribute to the wearing, especially when young, of high stiff collars. The least pressure on the back of the neck sends the head forward, and thus a habit is formed." Anne Boleyn's Coach. "Headless coaches" are fairly numerous. The most famous is the one that drives once a year, on the anniversary of Anne Boleyn's execution, up the avenue at Blicking, her Norfolk home, says the London Chronicle. The coachman and the four horses have not a head between them, and Anne's own is not upon her shoulders, but she holds it in her lap as she sits in the coach all in white. At the hall door the whole apparition vanishes, Anne's father. Sir Thomas, also rides in a coach drawn by headless horses once a year, and his ride is much more exciting than his daughter's. He has to cross forty county bridges during the night and a company of yelling demons pursues the coach to keep the horses going. Just Waiting. Very tart was Douglas Jerrold's retort to a would-be wit who, having fired off all his stale jokes with no effect, exclaimed: "Why, you never laugh when I say a good thing!" "Don't I?" said Jerrold.

Wells (Eng.) has a wonderful clock one of the oldest in the world, which dates from 1325.

This clock was the work of Peter Lightfoot, another monk of Glastonbury. The Eternal Now. Concern yourself as little as possible with your past.

Hessin and daughter of Manhattan were doing Europe and Asia last summer, says the Kansas City Journal, they took a motor boat ride on the Sea of Galilee. In the party was a New York minister. When the party had finished the ride the minister asked the boatman the amount of the bill. The boatman told him. It was exorbitant. "I can readily understand why Christ walked on the water here," said the minister. Appetite Not a Necessity. Dr. John R. Murlin of New York, assistant professor of physiology at the Cornell university medical college, in an article in the October number of the Journal of the Outdoor Life, compares the food we eat to the fuel used in furnishing steam and power for an engine. In selecting our food he says that we should eat enough to furnish energy for the day's work, but that much more than this is not needed. He holds that the appetite is not a necessity for good digestion. "There is no fallacy of nutrition," he says, "greater than that which supposes that a food cannot be digested and utilized without appetite." Most of the food we eat, fully four-fifths, goes to supply energy for our everyday tasks, while less than one-fifth goes to supply building material. It's the Red Blood Corpuscles That Proper Food Makes. An Ohio woman says Grape-Nuts food gave her good red blood and restored the roses of youth to a complexion that had been muddy and blotchy. She says: "For 10 years I had stomach trouble which produced a breaking out on my face. The doctors gave it a long Latin name, but their medicines failed to cure it. Along with this I had frequent headaches, nervousness and usually pain in my stomach after meals. "I got disgusted with the drugs, stopped them and coffee off short, and quit eating everything but fruit and Grape-Nuts, with Postum for my table beverage. "The headaches, stomach trouble, and nervous weakness disappeared almost like fragile, which showed that when the cause was removed and good food and drink used nature was ready to help. "My blood was purified and my complexion became like a young girls, while my weight was increased from 90 to 120 pounds in a few months—good, solid firm flesh, where it used to be soft and flabby. "I recommended Grape-Nuts and Postum to one of my friends, who was afflicted as I had been. She followed my advice and in a short time was restored to complete health and in about 8 months her weight increased from 100 to 148 pounds. "Our doctor, observing the effect of Grape-Nuts and Postum in our cases, declared, the other day, that he would hereafter prescribe these food products for gastritis."

She had been disappointed in going to the country for the season. She had asked a girl chum to visit her for a month, but had been disappointed in that. On that hot morning Miss June sat on the front veranda of her father's house in a suburban village and shed tears of disappointment. She blamed her father, her mother—business—everybody! The parrot in his cage at the end of the veranda squawked at her, and she shook her fist at him. A big bumble bee came humming around, and she gave him a slap with a magazine she had brought out. The man of all work came dragging fifty feet of garden hose around from the back yard to water the flowers in front. "John, you needn't do a thing to the old flower-beds! Just let them dry up and blow away. Everything has gone to the dogs anyhow." John started to drag the hose back, when Miss June got a sudden inspiration and called out: "You can leave it here. Attach it to the pipe. I may feel like using it myself by and by." John walked off, and five minutes later the hose was shooting a stream here and there. Along the front fence was a high hedge, and only the hats of male pedestrians could be seen as they passed on the walk. Presently Miss June heard steps approaching and saw a straw hat passing. She elevated the nozzle to play on that hat, and some one jumped and called out: "Bless my stars, but I'll knock that gardener's head off!" Miss June was getting even for her various disappointments. The drenched man passed on, and five minutes later he was replaced by another. The second man was more astonished than the first. He was thinking of Niagara Falls as he walked and all of a sudden they hit him. When he had somewhat recovered from his astonishment he called out: "By gum, you dunderhead in there, if you are not more careful with that hose somebody will break your neck! What are you up to, anyway?" No answer. Miss June was feeling better in her mind. She let the next two or three men pass, and then caught sight of a silk hat topping the hedge. She could have directed the stream to hit that hat and knock it clear across the street, but she didn't. She directed the shower into the limbs of a shade tree overhanging the walk, and was rewarded by hearing the owner of the hat gasp out: "The devil, but what does this mean!" The stream ceased, but the shower-bath had been very fair. "Say, you boy in there!" called the drenched one. There was no boy and no reply. "No one was no boy and no reply. "Boy or man, you had better be careful. If I had you out here your neck might be in danger!" Miss Jane shut off the water and took a seat on the veranda and became complacent. At noon when the father came up to lunch he said to John: "Look here, man, if you can't use that hose in the front yard without drenching pedestrians you'd better let it alone." "Yes, sir," replied the loyal John, who knew what had happened, but wasn't going to give anybody away. "You drenched the butcher from head to heel." "Yes, sir." "And you drenched a Mr. Folkstone, a young lawyer who is going to set up in his profession here. Mr. Thomas was passing on the outer side of the street and saw it all." "I can't say but what the lawyer may sue me for damages. They are a risky lot to play games on." "Yes, str." After lunch Miss Miss slipped John half a dollar and a grateful look and sat down and mused: "So there's a new lawyer in town, eh? And he's a young man and is swelling around under a plug hat to make folks think he's some pumpkins? I drenched him, and I'm glad of it, and I'll do it again. If I can't swell around Europe no one else shall swell around the United States. He must be a nice specimen of a young man to play the cry-baby just because a few drops of water hit his hat! Sue father for damages will he? Well let him try it on! I know every girl if this town, and if Mr. Folkstone goes to acting too frisky his cake will turn out to be so sour dough." Next morning John was ordered to bring the hose around again. He looked at Miss June doubtfully. "Oh, you won't lose your job," she replied. "If there is any complaint I'll stand for it." "You might wet down the butcher's boy, the carpenter and the cooper, but when you come to wet down a party as wears a plug hat it's different. And maybe you heard your father say we was a lawyer and might sue for damage?" "John, if that young swell passes here this morning he'll run into another summer shower!" said the girl in a determined way. "Then you are agin him, Miss?" "I am. He ought to have taken it as an accident or a joke. If you got a little wet would you play the baby act?" "Yes. sir." "Yes, sir." "Yes sir." "No, mum, but you see, the suddenness of it must have astonished him." "And the suddenness of it will astonish him again! I don't know Mr. Folkstone from a bean-pole, but I'm down on him. He's evidently come to town to swell around and be a topbud on a tree. When he came along yesterday he was mincing like a school-girl, and I hate a sissy man. Get the hose ready and then find something to do at the barn. That plug hat is in for another ducking!" Perhaps Mr. Folkstone had two silk hats—perhaps he had got the drenched one ironed. At any rate, within half an hour after Miss June was on watch she saw it bobbing along above the hedge again, and once more a stream of water shot into the branches of a tree to come down like April drops. No threats from Mr. Folkstone this time. He simply opened the gate and walked in, carrying his soaking hat in his hand. He was smiling as he bowed to the astonished girl. "You—you—" she began, but could not finish. Mr. Folkstone was no swell. He was no cry-baby—no sissy. He was a fine-figured, athletic young man, and his face and voice showed character. "Excuse me, please," he said with a half-laugh and another bow, "but do I speak to Miss June Freeman?" "Y—es, sir." "I have letters of introduction to you from several of your girl friends in Boston, and others to your father from business men. They are a bit damp, and you must excuse it. I had the misfortune to be caught in the late shower!" Miss June Freeman was called an odd girl. She had done one odd thing in drenching a stranger and believing she disliked him, and now she did another by holding out one hand for the letters and another for a shake and saying: "I ought to be awfully ashamed of myself, and I am, but I am going to face the music. I beg a thousand pardons for my silly conduct, and if you will call this afternoon I will make further apologies." He called and perhaps that was the very best way the acquaintance could have come about. WORTHY OF HIS REPUTATION Farmer Willing to Allow Cider to Be Tested, But Only in Way He Approved. In all glorious New Jersey it is generally admitted there is no cider to equal that of Farmer Marshall. But he is notable for other things besides. It is said that he would very much rather receive than give—in short, that he is a stingy old rascal. Young Peterson had heard this, but he was a young man who had considerable faith in his own powers of passing on the gentle hint, and to some sportive companions he had boasted that he would get a drink of cider out of the old man without asking for it. As such a thing had never been known to happen in living memory there were plenty of takers and the next day Peterson drove over. "Morning, farmer!" said he. "Fine orchard you have here." "Ay," said the farmer. "They tell me, too, that you have a fine press." "Ay: 'tis the best in all Jersey.'" My, as the best of them, "Pretty good cider you get, I suppose—eh? But I dare say I've tasted better." "Not in your born days. Tom"—this to his son—"get an' draw a mug o' cider." The luscious beverage was brought and with a smile of triumph young Peterson held forth his hand to take it. But the farmer's hand got there first. He drained the mug and then handed it to the visitor. "There!' he remarked. "If you think you've ever met the like of that cider, just smell the mug!" Charles H. Duncan, New York, advances the view that in cases of sepsis, vaccination can be accomplished by administering by mouth to the patient a small amount of the discharge from his own wound. The author cites as an example of nature working by this method the fact that animals lick their wounds and that they never have septic wounds except on the head, where they cannot lick them. Autogenous vaccination by the mouth tends to be curative in all stages of sepsis, but is especially prompt in the earliest stages, when the germs have not become virulent, and in the later stages when the infected area has been well walled off. The author has used this method for two and a half years with good results. He believes it is the simplest, oldest and most natural method of curing wounds.—Medical Record. The sign in front of a Harlem restaurant attracted the eye of a farmer, and he went in. He had a raw, a fry, a stew, a pan roast, a broil, and a steam on toast. When he got through he laid a quarter on the cashier's desk, only to be told that he was a dollar and a quarter. "No, by jing," said the farmer. "A quarter's right. Doesn't your sign say, 'Oysters in every style for 25 cents?'" Licking the Wound. Taken Literally. Death Lurks In A Weak Heart SHE SUFFERED FIVE YEARS Finally Cured by Lydia E.

That Canada has come rapidly to the front in the past ten years is amply shown in the results of the census recently made public. The population of the Dominion is now placed at 7,081,869, which with outlying points to be heard from, may bring it up to $7\frac{1}{4}$ millions as compared with 5,271.315 in 1901. Though these figures are large, they do not present a total as large as was expected but they do show a greater increase of percentage in population for the decade than any similar increase in the United States. The highest percentage ever reached by the Republic was $24\%$; the percentage of increase in Canada for the decade is $32\%$. Thus it will be seen that the provinces west of the lakes, with the great broad fertile acres ready for the sowing and immediate reaping of grain and the Valleys of British Columbia capable of producing fruit with which to supply its neighboring provinces east of the mountains, have attracted numbers, which has exceeded the most optimistic of the expectations of ten years ago. Upon the prairies of the ten years ago there was but a spare scattering of people; but today, no matter in which way you go, take any direction, and you find homes and farms and good ones too, occupied by the very best class of people in good sized settlements with plenty of room for five or six times as many more. The population of Alberta is set down at 372,919, as compared with 73,022 in 1901; Saskatchewan 453,508 as compared with 91,270 in 1901; Manitoba's 454,691 compares well with its 255,211 in 1901; and so does that of British Columbia—362,768 as against 178,657 in 1901; but in a territory as large as this a population of 1,643,000 is little more than discernible in point of numbers. The work through it has been great. Look at the towns that have been built up; its cities, Winnipeg with 185,000; Vancouver with 100,000; Calgary with 43,000; Edmonton, Regina, Saskatoon; Lethbridge; Medicine Hat, Moosejaw, splendid cities—none better anywhere; well maintained and equipped. These have come with existence and been built as they have been built by reason of the splendid agricultural country by which they are surrounded. The population is scarcely discernible. A population ten or twelve times that shown by the recent census could be easily maintained in even greater wealth than that which maintains the present numbers. There is certainly a wonderful future for Western Canada and that which goes to the development of the west will enrich the last. This is the growing time in Canada and what has been done in the past ten years is but a beginning. The next decade will show a far greater advancement. In the meantime Canada is bidding welcome the progressive and industrious citizen. The invitation is a standing one. At the forthcoming land exposition in Chicago, Canada will have one of the best exhibits of farm products that has ever been made and it will be well worth while inspecting it and getting information from those who may be in charge.

It has been assorted that the Greeks in the days of Homer manu tactured sausages, but thts prebistorie mixture had nothing !n common with our modern product. The anelent 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 envelopéd in the stomachs of goats. Not vatil the tenth century did $he sausage made of hashed perk be come known.

Incidentally {t is interesting to note that the skill which enables one to d+ teet a counterfeit comes not from study of counterfeits, but from a 11. ough and unconscious familiarity wits the genuine. If a man were pointe out to you and you were told that somt day another whe much resembled him would try to impose apon you, you would be pretty apt to fix his features in your mind; you gvould no’ spend any time looking at other people whe looked something like him, wo=!4 you? And the moment the impostor ap eared 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 counterfeits. A skillful teller in a bank, counting money rap {dly, will involuntarily throw out a note which in the slightest degree de- parts from the well-known pattern which {s 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 counterfelt.

Y. Zip, © son of Bluff, the big bull ter ter, is the most respected dog in Fiat- tush, 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. Uke Old King Cole: He onlls for his pipe, He calls for his glass, Ho calls for his fddiers three. “That is the most remarkable dog im the world,” says his master. “He takes my pipe out of my mouth and stokes {t, standing on his hind feet. Seo! The stem is all chewed up! If the tobacco focsn’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 starte¢ again he finishes his smoke and returns me the pipa Strong? He ought to be named Sam- son. Why, we have a piano that weighs 600 pounds. Tie Zip to it with a rope and he will pull it all over the toom.” {Siuce supporting race enter- prises is right, men are coming to the doctrine with their mouths forgeting of the fact that talk is cheap. A Knowing Dog. “Now,” aid the narrator, “I've got a dog here I would not take $100 for, You can believe me or not, but what tam going to tell you is the gospe} truth.

Tne etiquette to be observed wney & peacefully inclined tourist or ep plorer meets a lion in the jungle 4 described by Sir Frederick Treves, hq Aistinguished British surgeon, in’ hi book, “Uganda for a Holiday," jus published in England. “The tourist coming to British East Africa,” he says, “is sure to inquire as to the line of conduct that shoulg be observed when a lion {s encoun. tered by the way. In answer to such inquiry I was told that the etiquette suitable for the occasion was the fol Jowing: If the lon when met with ig walking in the opposite direction ta the tourist the animal should be al lowed to continue his walk without comment, If, however, the llon stops and stares at the tourist it 1s proper that the tourist should ‘Shish’ the an imal away, as he would an obtrusive Goose on a village green. Should the Mon be unmoved by this expression of annoyance the tourist 1s advised to throw lumps >%f earth at the obtuss creature. If, after ‘bis, the lon still fails to realize: a 4 's de trop, the tourist 1s recom:cudis 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 {s the embodiment of blind conservatism,” he writes. “Its hide is Ampenetrabie, its vision is weak, while its intellect is weaker. It has, however, two marked qualities—combativeness and @ sense of smell. It is aroused to its maximum energy by the presence of anything that {s new. This object need not be a thing that ts aggressive or inconvenient. Its offensiveness de pends upon the fact that it is unfa miliar, and the more unfamiliar the object is the worse the rhinoceros acts. “When a rhinoceros smells a man he will charge him with maniacal vio lence, although the man may be mere ly sitting on a stool reading Milton. ‘The massive beast will dash at bim Ike a torpedo or a runaway locomo- tive simply because the smell of him 1s novel. Actuated by this insane hate of whatever savors of an innova- tion, the rhinoceros has charged an fron water tank on the outskirts of » camp and has crumpled {t up as a Diacksmith would an empty reat tin. “A conservative rhinoceros with « senile dislike of anything new once charged a train on the Uganda rall- ‘way, but with no more serious results than the tearing away of the footboard of a carriage. As regards the rhinoo- ros in this case, it appeared sur prised that a thing composed, as it had imagined, of flesh and blood, could be so hard. It went off with an addi- tional grievance and an increased swelling of the head.” Tournament on Sea Horecs, Rumor has often told us of see horses, but with amused incredulity we have always waved the tales aside, Faith {s, however, no longer called upon, for in the water of Huntington bay, on the north shore of Long im land, actual sea horses are daily cw bering in highly spectacular water sports, even in a quaint revival of the ancient tournament. Tho strange beasts have been brought to us from France and are ingenfously composed of a barrel, weighted on one side which is under water, and decorated with an expressive head and an ag- gressive tail. As soon es one mounts upon the rotund back of one of these beasts it shows its temper, for, a though tame and mild enough when grazing among the waves by them selves, they aro flends incarnate ss soon as one attempts to throw a leg over them. They kick and buck in manner which would appall a Buffslo Bill himself. One of the dally features of the Deach at Huntington fs a tournament tn which armed knights, each astride 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.
