Asa; newspaper man, Dunn has few equals in the state. Politically, no man in Minnesoti has friends who are so strong in their ad-| miration of the ex-state auditor or enemies who are so bitterly opposed tohim. You are either “on” or “off” with Bob; he has a fashion of letting "people know; whether or not they are t) his liking. A Faroe Reformer. The people of the Faroe islands eling | to thelr old customs and see little good | in change, says the author of “Thet Faroes and Iceland,” but now and then | one of them becomes a conservative re- former. Such was an old man of Stromo who, in his youth, had learned cabinetmaking In Copenhagen, then had been a blacksmith in New Soutb ‘Wales and later a marine In-the Dan- Ish navy during the Sleswick-Holsteln war. Having thus traveled far beyond the wildest dreams of his countrymen, | he returned while still a comparatively | young man to Stromo and invested his savings In a home. Conservative though he appeared to outlanders, to' the Islanders he was a reckless in- novator. He roofed his house with rwo vLaas. At one time, when De§Quincey was living at Lasswade im" simple and friendly relations with)the people, who respected him not as/a writer, but as. a good neighbor, he formed a very de- lightful friendship svitk a little chila, a boy of four years. This lad, o nephew of one of the housemaids, was the coustant companion of the great man and would forsake any, amuse- ment for the pleasure of "walking round a dull little garden with him. One day somebody heard this conver- sation between the two comrades; “What d’ye call thon tree?™ asked the child, De Quincey considered and then Baid, with careful deliberation, “I am not sure, my dear, but I think jt may be a laurustinus.” The child interrupted him with some scorn: “A laurustinus! Lad, d’ye no ken a rhododendron?®’ At that time the “lad” must have peen about seventy years old. Made & Gorilla King. The craze among society women for queer pets Is an old story. It usually ends through being carried too far. There Is the case of Andromeda, for in- stance, and there Is that other affair of the decadent Roman emperor’s daugh- ter, who had a pet gorllla, procured for her at great cost by an Arablan trader who supplied strange beasts for the amphitheater. One day the Praetorian guard arose and murdered the caesar. The gorilla, who happened to be pres- ent, strangled the ringleader, who was to have assumed the imperial purple himself, with its bare hands. This so delighted the Praetorians that they unanimously elected the gorilla, whom they took for a barbarian from North Britain, to the vacant throne. On the mistake belng explained by a zoologic- ally minded patrician, the divus caesar had to be killed and another one cho- sen.—T.ondon News. To Insure Privacy of Mail.

The only advice they would accept from him-— and that after long hesitation—was (0} boll their fish oll outdoors Instead of In the l7ing room. But when this ter- rible mnovator heard from a visitor that women rode bicycles In Englnmlv he was so astonished that he asserted confidently that the world ‘could not last much longer. Cause and Effect. Shakespeare saw life In large and wrote as he saw. He never “blamed it on to God.” His pages are full of the inexorable sequence of cause and ef- fect, and the swift march of deeds polnts the moral of individual responsi: “ 1known as “gumbo.” bility, € tings weke Moten I Do Vi thié' rehld kiearis mnd shoild ‘never be conflicted with creoles in the |true sense of the term.—New Orleans mark,” it was because the fathers had eaten sour grapes and the children’s teeth were set on edge; If Macbeth trembled at the knocking at the gate, it was because consclence doth make cowards of us all. The ghosts that baunted Bosworth fleld were of Rich- ard’s own creating, and Regan and Goneril, desperately dead, reap but their inevitable due. In short, Shake- speare’'s message is the message of a robust manhood and womanhood: Brace up, pay for what you have, do good If you wish to get good. Good or bad, shoulder the btrden of your moral responsibility and never forget that cowardice is the most fatal and most tutlle crime in the calendar of crimes. Cowards dle many times before thelr deaths; The vallant never taste of death but once. ~-Martha Baker Dunn in Atlante. 01d Leprosy Laws. In the earliest code of British laws now extant—namely, that of Hoel Dha, & famous king of Cambria (the present Wales), who died about the year 950 A. D—we find a canon enacting in plain and unmistakable terms that any marrled woman whose busband was afflicted with leprosy was entitled not only to separation, but also to the resti- tutlon of her goods.

A pure creole is a person born in Louislana of French or Spanish par- ents. It is a mistaken idea to suppose that a creole has negro blood in his veins, A creole negro is one whose forefathers were owned by the early French and Spanish settlers and who spoke a corruption of those languages Their descend- Times-Democrat. Why, Indeed? At an examination of Sunday school children the followirg was one of the questions -put upon the blackboard: “Why did your godfathers and god- mothers promise these things for you?"

He bad/ been contributing verses and short 8to7 dies and had just begun a tale about tYs soldiers on’ the frontier- who suf- €r.red with scurvy. The editor,wanted 3 %’:emcur\'y story for the morning pub- ation, but Joaquin Miller could not concentrate upon his-work. His mind keaped to the anticlpated Joy of a great oclal function occurring that evening, for at this time he mwas a social lion, However, he hadjproceeded in his story up to the point of the conditional cure for the disease, where all the soldiers suffering with/scurvy had been buried, with only their heads exposed to view. The editor was yelling “Copy!” The poet’s mind refused to work. He could not finish the tale, leaving his soldiers In such a plight. Suddenly an inspira- tlon came to him. He grabbed his pencil and wrote rapidly, the following words: 3 ““And a she wolf came along and ate off all thelr heads.” Then he made a bee line for the door and was not seen agaln until the next day. His story Wwas not published. A Cnuse of Divorce. “What Is the most frequent ‘cause of divorce?” the lawyer was asked. “It is nearly incredible” he said, “but a thing that causes divorce often- er than you'd imagine is married peo- ple’s quarreling over their .right to open one another's letters. The hus- band will claim that he Is entitled to open the wife’s mail. The wife will clalm that she is entitled to open the husband’s. In the letters of neither ‘will there be anything of a private or compromising nature, but nevertheless they both want to get their mail in- violate—it enrages them to have it opened and read. Quarrels over this letter opening question vex, I suppose, 90 per cent of married couples. Of this 90 per cent a distressingly large proportion go on from bad to worse till they wind up in the divorce court, 8o, young man, when you come to mar- ry, leave your wife’s mail alone, no matter how she may pry into yours.”-- New York Press, Quick Wit Saved His Lite. “The strangest and most thrilling plece of swordsmanship I ever saw,” sald the fenclng master, “was in Ver- mont. I was spending the autumn in a mountainous part of the state, and there was a military encampment near my hotel. One morning an officer’s horse started to bolt with tle man during parade and made at breakneck speed toward a precipice. The offi- cer tried to stop the horse, tried to turn his head—no use. On dasbed the frantic animal straight for the abyss. We all held our breaths. In another Instant we expected to see horse and rider go over the clifft. But the officer when within fifty feet of the edge drew his sword and plunged it twice deep into the horse. The horse stag- gered, slowed, keeled over, dying. The man had sacrificed the animal’s life to save his own.” Ages In the Animal Kingdom. A great varlance as to length of life appears among different animals. Some Insects live for only a few hours, while fish, elephants and turtles are fre- quently centenarians. The average life of the mosquito Is three days. Toads usually live to the age of about fifteen years, while carp have heen known to reach 150. Chickens live from twelve to fifteen years, dogs to the age of ten and occasionally fifteen and parrots to extreme age. These birds have been known to pass the age of 200 years. Turtles are also fre- quently centenarians, as are storks, and elephants are said to reach the age of 800 years. Whales have been known to live for 400 years. Postage Stamps. The largest postage stamp ever is sued was a five cent stamp of the United States intended for newspaper postage. It was 4 by 2 inches in size. The smallest postage stamp, on the other hand, was a twenty-five pfennig stamp of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, is- sued in 1856. It was one-fourth the size of an ordinary postage stamp. In- cidéntally it has been calculated that about 13,000 different kinds of postage stamps have been issued by the vari- ous countries of the earth. ‘Whistler a Brilllant Tallker. ‘Whistler was a brilliant talker and a great debater. I shall never forget my surprise when I heard him say for the first time, “Bacher, I am not arguing with you; F-am telling you.” I never forgot the lesson. Later I found that he had used this effectively in one of his letters to the London World when he sald: “Seriously, then, my Atlas, an etching does not depend for its impor- tance upon its size. I am not arguing with you; I am telling you.” He spoke French fluently, German less readily. His Itallan was very good, especially under excitement, though occasionally a French word slipped in unawares, adding to the picturesqueness. I recall that he considered Poe our greatest poet.—Otto H. Bacher {n Century. Had Plenty of Confidence. Augustus Thomas, the well known playwright, was talking about first nig 7 ° rtrending anxlety of them. “Ou wy own first nights,” he sald, “I am a pitlable object, utterly without hope, convinced In advance that my play is bound to fall. At such times T often wish I had the self con- fidence of Charles Reade. He, after he had dramatized his novel of ‘Never Too Late to Mend,” wrote on the mar- gin of a certain passage, ‘If the audi- ence falls to weep here, the passage has. not been properly acted.” " British Choral Societies. If in the pure artistic sense the Brit- fsh people cannot be said to be mu- sidal, there are, it must be admitted, Individuals in multitudinous numbers who cultivate with eagerness both vo- cal and instrumental music.. But there is unquestionably no people who de- vote as much time and earnest study and practice to choral singing as the Englieh, and this from the sheer love of {t—Edward 8t.

PAZO OINTMENT s guaranteed to cure any case of Itching, B d'm%l trudi plles in 6 wl&dal%g Or mo; x‘gt'm;l mncx Eeg 1 i i | Smoking Contests. “Smoking contests are as old as the hills,” said an antiquary. “Go to Brit- tany, take In a Breton ‘pardon,’ and you'll see a smoking contest sandwich- ed In between the duncing matches and the wrestling bouts.” The old man took out his notebook. “The first smoking contest of which ‘we have any authentic record,” he sald, “came off at Oxford, the English seat of learning. In 1723. The conditions ‘were that you should smoke three ounces of tobaceo without drinking or leaving the stage, the person first fin- 1shed to get a prize of 12 shillings. “Hearne says—I copled It down here: “‘Many tryed, and ’‘twas thought that a journeyman taylor of St. Pe- ter’s-iin-the-East would have been the victor, he smoking faster than and be- ing many pipes before the rest, but at last he was so sick that ’twas thought he would have dyed, and an old man that had been a builder and smoked gently came off the conqueror, smok- ing the three ounces quite out, and he told me that after it he smoked four or five pipes the same evening.’ ” A Germian Duel. A young officer quarreled with a friend who was a solicltor. Hot words were' exchanged, and the officer struck his friend. Here the matter might have ended—there was something to forgive and regret on both sides, But the -officer’s regiment heard of the af- fair, and a court of honor dectded that he must challenge the civilian. 8o a duel by command took place, and the young lawyer fell mortally wounded by his friend. When the officer re- turned home he was arrested on the Information of the president of the court of honor which had foreed him to fight. He was trled by an ordinary tribunal and sentenced to three months’ imprisontnent, The president of ‘the court of honor knew he was urging the officer to an illegal deed ‘when he Insisted on the duel, but hon- or, as he understood it, must be satis- fled at all cost.—Berlin Letter. The Cigar Mouthplece. A rich Russian banker had been dis- covered murdered In his house in St. Petersburg, says a writer in the Green Bag. There was no clew, but in the room there was found a cigar mouth- plece containing part of a cigar of such an expensive kind that it was sup- posed the banker himself had been smoking it just before the crime had been committed. On close examina- tion the mouthpiece was found to be worn away by the teeth of its owner, but the dead man’s teeth did not fit the indentation. The servants were one by one examined, and it was then found that the hollows of the mouth. piece compared exactly to the forma- tlon of the front teeth of the cook, to whom no suspicion had been attached. He afterward confessed to the murder. England’s “Flery Dragons.” In the year 1532 various parts of Great Britain were visited by a re- markable meteorological phenomenon, which the old authors refer to as “the visitation of the fire drakes or drag- ons.” The author of “Contemplation of Mysteries” says: “In ye letter parte of ye yeare (1532) ye flerl dragons appeared flying by flocks or companies In ye ayre, having swines' snowtes, and sometimes were they seene foure hundred flying togither.” In speaking of the fire dragons In another portion of his work he says, “Common people thinke fire drakes to be spirits which watch over hidden treasure, but the philosophers affirm them to be ye re- sult of poisonous vapors which are spontaneously lighted in ye ayre.” When a Man Lies. “If you want to tell whether or not the man you are talking to Is telling the truth, don’t look him in the eyes,” said a Denver bank teller to some friends last night. “I thought itwas just the other way,” said one of those pres- ent. “I've always understood that it raade it harder for the liar if you looked squarely in his eyes.” “That'’s a wrong impression,” continued the bank teller, “The man who knows how to lie knows how to look you in the eyes when he's doing it. And the man who isn’'t a regular liar, but who has made up his mind to lie to you, decides first that he must look you straight in the eyes. It is the voice, when you don’t look at the eyes, that tells you whether the other fellow Is lying. We use the sys- tem frequently in the bank. A man will come In to tell us some business tale. We look at his feet or his hands or his knees, but never in his eyes. If he's telling the truth his volce will be firm and straightforward, and the absence of your gaze in his eyes will not affect it, but if he’s lylng he’ll be confused by your action, and-his voice will tremble. He'll hem and haw and clear his throat. You may rest as- sured then that he’s stringing you.”— Denver Post. Rare Ben Jonson. The epitaph, “O Rare Ben Jonson,” engraved on the tablet marking the burial place of the celebrated play- wright in the ‘“poets’ corner,” West- minster abbey, is said to have orig- Inated with Jack Young (afterward knighted), who, “walking there when the grave was covering, gave the fel- low 18 pence to cut it.” Dr. Brew- er in his “Phrase and Fable” says Bhakespeare called Jonson ‘“Rare Ben,” but does not say where. Ac- cording to Chambers’ “Book of Days,” the phrase formed the concluding ‘words of the verses written and dis- played in the clubroom of Ben’s clique at the famous Mermaid tavern. The epithet “Rare Ben Jonson” is said to have been first uttered after the ap- pearance of his highly successful farce, “Bartholomew Fair.”” The epitaph has been copied once at least. When Sir Willlam Davenant was Interred In Westminster abbey the inscription on his covering stone was “O Rare Sir ‘William Davenant.” - smoked Glass. Murphy--Well, this bates. the mis- chief.

Addressing one of his southern andt A Native Afrfcan Food, ‘The native food of the Malunda coun- try, In southern Afrlca, comprises ma- nloc and that alone, It Is a plant par- ticularly adapted to wet, marshy soll, says the author of “In Remotest Ba- rotseland.” It takes two years to arrive at maturlty and while growing re- quires very little attention. The root when full grown Is about the size and has very much the appearance of a German sausage, although at times it grows much larger. One shrub has several roots, and the extraction of two or three in no way impairs the growth of the remainder. When newly dug it tastes like a chestnut, and the digestion’ of the proverbial ostrich can alone as- similate it raw, but when soaked in water for a few days until partly de- composed, dried on the roofs of the kuts and stamped it forms a delight fully white soft meal, far whiter and purer than the best flour. Then it is beaten Into a thick paste and eaten with a little flavoring composed of a locust or a caterpillar, which the na- tives seek In decayed trees. Another way of eating this native luxury Is by baking the roots after soaking them and eating It as you would a banana. George Ellot’s Savonarola. Bavonarola is one of the most strik- Ing characters in George Ellot's great historlcal novel “Romola,” the scene of ‘which is in Florence and the perlod that of Savonarola’s career. The idea of writing the book occurred to the novelist while on a visit to Florence, and on .a second visit to the city, in 1861, she began to carry out her proj- ect. The subject and design were for- elgn to the author's genius, but she spared no pains In making a thorough study of the locality, the people and the literature of the Itallan renals sance for the purposes of her story, In her own words, the work “plowed into her” more than any of her books. 8he began it, she says, as a young wo- man and finished it as an old woman. Her picture of Florence and Sayona- rola is undeniably Impressive, and some critics declare “Romola” to L2 George Ellot's greatest novel and thc character of Savonarola one of the finest delineations.—Pearson’s, Size of Heads. The average adult head has a cir cumference of fully twenty-two inches. The average adult hat is fully six and three-quarters size. The sizes of men’s hats are six and three-fourths and six and seven-eighths generally. “Sevens” hats are common In Aberdeen, and the professors of our colleges generally ‘wear seven and one-eighth to eight slzes. Heads wearing hats of the sizes six and three-eighths and smaller or belng less than twenty-one inches in circumference can never be powerful. Between nineteen and twenty inches In circumference heads are invariably very weak and, according to this au- thority, “no lady should think of mar- rying a man with a head less tnan twenty inches In circumference.” Peo ple with heads under nineteen incher are mentally deficient and with heads under eighteen inches invariably idi- otle.—London Young Woman. Safest Piace In Trains. “I have one rule for my family when they travel,” said the conductor of the suburban train, “and that is for them never to ride in’the rear coach or the first one and, preferably, not in the coach next to the last or first. The rea- son for it is so obvious that [ should think the foremost and last cars of a train would have scant patronage from anybody who reads of raflroad acel- dents. If there is a smashup, those are the coaches that suffer. It seems strange that some kind of a buffer is not put behind the locomotive tender and at the rear of the train. How many lives would be saved by a device of the kind one has only to study the statistics of rallroad accidents to fig ure out for himself.”—New York Press Lifting a Kettle of Hot Water. Some time when the teakettle is bub bling and boiling on the kitchen range lift it quickly by its handle and set It on the open palm of your otber hund. This sounds like a very foolhardy thing to do—as If your hand might be blis- tered in a twinkling—but you will find that you can hold the teakettle which has just come from a roaring fire for some time without hurting you. Try 1t and then see If you can tell the rea. son why you are not burned. Be sure, however, that the water Is bolling strongly before you make the experk ment. A Kippered Pastor. A French Protestant pastor was the guest of a Scottish preacher at a manse. One morning kippered herrings were served at breakfast. The French pastor asked the meaning of “kipper.” His host replied that it meant “to pre- serve.” On taking his leave next day the French pastor, wringing his host's hand, sald, “May the Lord kipper you, my good friend.” Sea Snakes. Sea snakes are very plentiful in the south Pacific. They are widely distrib- uted, stray individuals having been se- cured on the coast of New Zealand. ‘When swimming close to the surface they exactly resemble an ordinary snake, except that the head is always below water. At night they come ashore and lle among the rocks. They feed on fish and, although thelr small double fangs appear harmless, they are reported to be very venomous. Clean Young Men. There are plenty of bright young men in the country whose hands have not been solled by the dirt of latter day politics. It will be a good thing for the state and for the nation to have them come forward and take an active part In public affairs. It will be a good thing for any party that recog- nizes them and gives them proper en- couragement.—Knoxville Journal and Tribune. End of the Honeymoon. “Finished your honeymoon yet?” “I don’t know.

The Capture of Jefferson Davl How Mrs. Davis prevented her hus- band from escaping in his flight after the fall of the Confederacy is told in Mrs. Avary's book, “Dixie After the War.” After leaving Washington, Ga., Mr. Davis had heard that maraud- ers were in pursuit of his wife’s cortege, and, turning out of his course, he rode hard' across country, found his family, conveyed them beyond the present danger, as he thought, and was about to renew his journey south. The party camped, when he was roused at dawn by his negro s ant, who said troops were coming Mrs. Davis begged her husband to leave. His horses and weapons were near the road down which the cavalry was coming. In the darkness of the tent he caught up what he took to be his raglan, a sleeveless waterproof garment. It was hers. She then threw a shawl over his head. He went out of the tent, she keeping near. “Halt!” cried a trooper, leveling a carbine at him. Mr. Davis dropped his wraps and hurried forward. Mrs. Davis saw the carbine, cast her arme about her husband and lost him his one chance of escape, for he might tave slipped away In the dark. 3 MRS.
