The old saying abeut digging deep enough and unearthing a skeleton in almost every man’s history, has been proven true again in Philadelphia, where conclusive proof has been found that ' the late Stephen Girard, founder of Girard college, made his great fortune out of the slave 7 | trade. For many years it has been a matter of neighborhood gossip in the Pennsylvania city that its once prominent millionaire made| his wealth out of the buying and selling of -unfortunate negroes, and the gossip has been raised to the dignity of a historical fact by the unearthing of an extensive slave pen directly under the old Girard mansion, at a depth of 100 feet below the surface, by excavators for a subway. Girard gained for himself a certain kind.of fame by provid- ing that no minister should ever enter the gates of his college. No - wonder the old reprobate hated the .preachers of the gospel. i : THE'REPORTER'S TROUBLES. ~ :: Every person of either sex who has ever “‘chased the elusive item” will recognize the portrait true to life in. little sketch in the Duluth New§ Tribune by the “Caught on the Run” man. He relates the experiences of a re- to write up and who calls on man after manin dn endeavor to get together a-few facts about the dead “man’s life ‘history, only to body else,” . Just why it is that most men and women will not'give out: any information to a reporter if it is possible to pass the responsibility on, we do not:know; but itis gospel truth thatin, say, seven cases out of ten, this is so. Perhaps the interrogatee is ‘|not sure of himself or the re- liability of his information, and perbaps heis too lazy or unac- commodating to look matters up; probably it iz both. But what ever the reason is, it works a hardship on the leg-weary newsgatherer. The newspaper man is . only human, you know; his shoe leather bills ‘are large, quite large enough, anyway; and you, who are perhaps one of -the seven-tenths, can help him a lot if you will. 3 - The Study of Poetry.

There- fore, he argued, Mr. Taft should show his gratitude by ousting the Moderates from office and substituting for. them men who had fought for good govern- The Unicorn. The unicorn was one of the fabled monsters of antiquity. It was, accord- Ing to a summary of the opinions of several of the old time writers, a beast about the size of a common horse, but with very short legs. The people of the middle ages belleved in the existence of three kinds of unicorns—the magnifi- cent white unicorn, which had a purple face and blue eyes and a single horn a yard In length; the eglisserion, which resembled a gigantic deer and had a very sharp horn growing from the mid- dle of the forehead, and the monocero: or common unicorn. corn's horn was of three different col- ors—white at the lower part, black as ebony in the middle and red at the point. Common unicorns were said to have had horns about eighteen inches In length, but so strong that they could easily kill an elephant. The white uni- In spite of the fact that he was the host Castillo did not obtain support for his demand.

This sentiment was generally endorsed and Castillo was Several speeches were then made applauding Governor Taft, President Roosevelt and the United States for their generous course to- Clock Inscriptions.

So when a yachtsman re- turned down river and was asked by an official at Para, “How Is the tem' perature at Manaos?” his reply, “Eight degrees hotter than here,” elicited a stare of noncomprehension. “At Manaos,” said the yachtsman in explanation, “I used to wilt six collars a day; here in Para 1 only need three Thermometers Reserve Buds. Every one has noticed how, when a large branch of a tree Is cut off, small branches will shoot out around the stump. These branches are from the reserve buds, of which all trees have a great number at every portion of thelr surface. Under ordinary circumstances these never come to maturity, but when the tree Is wounded. or cut off or. loses some of Its branches the reserve buds at once come Into play and renew the follage.

Over in Europe there are many hap- Py towns-where the note of the mos- quito Is never heard and the inhabi- tants don’t care a snap about the pen- But in America the cities which can clalm to be mosqui- toless would not run up to a dozen. Denver is one of them, and, strange to say, Grand Rapids, Mich., only a short way from the gnat Gehennas of Lake Buperior, is another. The explanation is that the city Is bullt on. hillocks of drift sand so deep and so finely pul- verized that they absorb moisture like tissue paper.

Is the word itself a cerruption of the French “creps,” a favorite game in the gambling halls of the Palais Royal in the eighteenth - century? Bescherelle says it was a game played with dice and of English origin; that the name _ was sometimes written “krabs”- and the word was spoken when one suc- ceeded in throwing 2, 3, 11 or 12 at the first cast. English dictionaries shed little light on the subject, and we do not remember any allusion te the game In novels or plays of the eighteenth century.—Boston Herald. Shetlamd Wool.
