Circuses are perhaps more to blame for the misrepresentation of the Arab horse than any other source. A friend of mine owns a cireu and 1 saw his posters a few years ago clalming to ex- hibit elghteen or twenty of the only Arablan horses brought to America. He said they were captured with great difficulty and brought to New York by & special permit of the sultan; that they were of the family known in his- tory as the eagle feather horses, so much prized in the queen of Sheba's days; that they were snow white, with big markings in their spots of the tip of eagle feathers. We don’t have to belleve everything we read on the cir- tus posters. In this case I am mighty tertain these “spotted Arabians” were bought at Albany, Ore. The most pe- eullar part of this spotted horse busi- ness Is this, and it is not a very strange reason when you know it, that spotted anything Is created by a mixture of different races or different breeds, and that likely accounts for the fact that the Arablan desert in all its history has never produced a spotted, or pie- bald, horse, possible from the fact that there is never any mixture of blood.— Homer Davenport in Woman's Home Companion. Popular Approval of Theft. The idea of private property has never been fully accepted by the mass- es of the people and never had their cordial approval as an institution. The most popular songs and ballads of our nation In all ages, it may be noted, have been those which described sym- pathetically attacks on private proper- ty from the Robin Hood cyele to the broad sheets in which Turpin and Bheppard were made heroes. Even nowadays the literature that really touches the people, the literature that the educated classes seldom so much as see exposed for sale, the literature that is sold in the small “general” shop in the back street and costs fewer penules than the novel we know costs shillings, still very largely deals with the romantic exploits of the robber. He is never a villain; he is noble and generous to a fault, but he is con- vinced of the impropriety of perfons having too much money.— London News. “Going to the Dogs.” The phrase *“going to the dogs” has puzzled the explainers of metaphorical expressions rather needlessly. It has sven been suggested that it is a pro- fane perversion of “going to the gods,” and an allusion has been detected to “canis,” the dog throw, the worst throw with the dice among the ancient Romans. Shakespeare's “Throw physic to the dogs” and the Scriptural “Give not that which is holy unto the dogs” have been quoted in connection with the expression. But it seems a fairly obvious reference to the fate of the wornout horse, condemned * to be slaughtered. The old Greek curse, “Go to the crows!” may be compared, re- ferring as it did to the Greek’s horror of having his body left unburied as food for carrlon birds.—London Spec- tator. Bobby Remembered. Binks after inviting his friend Jinks, who has just returned from abroad, to dinner is telling him what a fine mem- ory his little son Bobby has. “And do you suppose he will remem- ber me?” said Jinks. “Remember you! Why, he remem- bers every face that he ever saw.” An hour later they enter the house, and after Jinks has shaken hands with Mrs. Binks he calls Bobby over to him. “And do you remember me, my little man?”’ “Course I do! You're the same feller that pa brought home last summer and ma wuz so mad about it that she didn’t speak to pa fur a whole week.” ~Galveston News. Only Slept There. Dickens, looking for local color for Sis novel of “Hard Times,” visited Manchester. He went through the hov- els of certain Manchester cotton spin- ners, and these foul houses filled him with pity and horror. Meeting the Manchester manufacturer who owned them, he said: “And do your employees really live In such houses as these?” “Certainly not,” the manufacturer replied. “They only sleep in them. They live in my mill.” Not Discouraged. “Can’t you realize that you're merely ‘wasting my time and your own?’ com- plained the busy merchant. “Why 807’ asked the agent. “I told you some time ago that I was insured to the limit.” “I know you did, but a man will say most anything to get rid of an insur- ance man.”—Philadelphia Press. insurance His Ignorance. Minister—Now, my beloved hearers, next Sabbath evening T shall begin my special series of sermons on “Pharaoh of Anclent Egypt” Gambler In the Congregation (whispering to friend)— ‘Well, wouldn't it fade ye to know the game dated back that far?—Chicago News. Things He Didn’t Understand. A shres worldly agnostic and a | Christian clergyman dressed in & mod- sst clerical suit sat at the same table n the Pullman dining car. They were waiting for the first course at the din- aer, a delicious Hudson river shad. | Eying his companion coldly for a mo- ment, the agnostle remarked: “I judge you are a clergyman, sir?”’ “Yes, sir. T am in my Master's serv- lee.” “Yes, you look it. Preach out of the Bible, don't you? “Ob, yes; of course.” “Find a good many things in that old book that you don’t understand, don’t you?" “Oh, yes; some things.” “Well, what do you do then?” “Why, my dear friend, I simply do jfust as I do while eating this delicious ihad. If I come to a bone I quietly lay t on one side and go on enjoying the ithad and let some fool insist on chok- ng himself with the bones.” Then the agnostic wound up his Wa- erbury watceh and went into the smok- wr.—Exchange. Medicine In Ancient Egypt. There is much evidence in inscrip- tlons and manuseripts that the ancient Egyptians practiced medicine and sur- gery extensively. Probably their prac- tice was based on little knowledge of anatomy. Each physician treated only one or two diseases. The sick were exposed in publie places so that others who had suffered similarly might tell them of helpful remedies. Diseases of the eye were best understood and re- ceived both medical and surgical treat- ment. The most important medical manuseript found in Egypt is the Uapyrus Ebers, written 3000 B. C. and discovered in’Memphis. Disease, ac- cording to the Egyptians, was due to the anger of some deity, the result of the triumph of evil in its struggle with good, an idea which is still very gen- eral throughout Africa and Asia and which at some time has been prevalent in modified, forms in almost every race. —“Records of the Past.” In a Fog. Nothing has such a bewildering ef- fect as fog. Only animals which find their way by scent can get about in it with any certainty. Birds are entirely confused by it. Tame pigeons remain all day motionless and half asleep, hud- dled up, either in or just outside their pigeon houses. Chickens remain mo- tlonless for hours during heavy fogs. No bird sings or utters a call, perhaps because it fears to betray its where- abouts to an unseen foe. During one very thick fog a blind man was found wandering about a certaln district of London. This man was in the habit of ing up every day from a suburb, ing notes and parcels, and had scarcely ever lost his way before. Ask- ed why he had gone astray (for he was quite blind, and it was supposed that weather would have made no differ- ence), he said that in a fog the ground “sounded quite differently.”—Chums. Entranced. The happy couple dashed through the showers of rice and old shoes and reached the train. N “Oh, George,” whispered the blushing bride, “do you hear what they are shouting?" “No,” replied George, trying to loosen a white ribbon that had been attached s silk hat. “What are they shout- “‘They’re off! They’re off!” George smiled broadly as he helped her aboard the parlor car. “Oh, that's all right, my dear,” he assured. “All couples are a little off when they are starting on their honey- moon.” And then began the rainbow tour per- sonally conducted by Hymen.—Chicago News. He Couldn’t Bend. A young man engaged board and lodging in a private family who were extremely devout. Before each meal a long grace was sald. To their dis- may and horror the new boarder sat bolt upright while the others at table reverently bowed their heads. When the second day passed and the young man evinced no disposition to unbend, the good lady of the house could en- dure the situation no longer. ‘“Athelsm ?” asked she sharply. “No, madam,” humbly responded the new boarder; “boil.” A Quick Wit. Husband—Did you notice how ill tempered my colleague was this even- Ing? He was annoyed because I have brought you a mnew set of jewelry. Now he will have to get a new set for his wife too. Wife—A disagreeable fel- low that man is! If I were you, I would annoy him often.—Fliegénde Blatter, ¢ Real Distinction. “Is Mr. Scadds a man of scientific distinction?” “Yes, indeed,” answered Miss Cay- enne. “He has so many college de- grees that when he sends in his card you can't be sure whether it Is his name or a problem in algebra.”—Lon- don Tit-Bits, |GERMANY 0UT OF I Will Take No Part in Discussion of Limitation of Armaments. REICHSTAG OPPOSES PLAN Speakers of All Parties Unite in De- claring That the Government Dele- gates at the Coming Peace Confer- ence Must Hold Aloof. Berlin, May 1.—The question of the limitation of armaments received a thorough ventilation in the reichstag during a general debate on Germany’s foreign relations. Speakers of various parties pointedly suggested to Chan celior von Buelow that Germany should take no part in the discussion of the limitation of armaments at The Hague peace conference. Von Buelow, in reply, said that Germany did not object to letting other powers discuss the matter, but would hold aloof. Thig statement was received with approval by the house. Continuing, the chancellor referred to the recommendations of the first peace conference at The Iiague; “Germany,” he said, “has complied with these recommendations, but has not found a formula which takes into account the diversity in the geograph- {cai, economic and military positions of the various states, or one which would be calculated to remove these diversities and serve as a basis for a treaty.” Andrew Carnegie's recent utterances to the eftect that the decision between war or peace lies in the hands of the German emperor called out a decided protest during the debate from Baron von Hertling, Clerical. He said be recognized the fact that Mr. Carne- gle’s speech was thoroughly friendly to Germany, but it was “an illustra- tion of the misconceptions entertained abroad respecting Germany as being an autocratically governed country.” Germany, he added, was a complicated political mechanism, in which a for- elgn policy which opposed the will of the German people was impossible. UNITED STATES WILLING. No Objection to Proposed Joint Tar- iff Commission. Washington, May 1—While the recommendation from Ambassador ‘White, at Paris, that a tariff commis- sion be appointed by the United States to endeavor to effect an ar- rangement with the French govern- ment, such as was made in the case of Germany, has not yet formally come before the state department it can be announced authoritatively that if the French government desires such a commission there will be no opposi- tion in Washington. Moreover, as the agltation in ¥rance in connection with the American tariff seems to be based in part upon a fear that Germany will secure certain advantages over France in the matter of trade through the arrangements which have been acted upon favorably by the upper house in Berlin, it may also be announced that the state department is prepared to grant to France any concessions made to Germany provided the concessions are even on both sides. As a 20 per cent reduction of duties on German champagne is provided for in the pending German-American arrange- ment the same privilege can be en- joyed by French champagne if the government of France is willing to make concessions to America in re- turn similar to those made by Ger- many. MAY END MINE TIEUP. Canadian Strikers to Vote on Proposal Submitted. Ottawa, Ont, May 1.—Mr. La- meieaux, the minister of labor, has received the following telegram from Mackenzie King, the deputy minister of labor, who is now at Fernie, B. C., endeavoring to settle the labor trou- bles in that and surrounding districts: “Am pleased to be able to inform you that as the result of negotiations between the parties during the past two or three days the outstanding points of an agreement have been so adjusted through conciliation as to make it accepiable to the operators of the seven companies comprising the Western Coal Operators’ association and to the district executive board of the Urited Mine Workers’ association. The district executive board has agreed to strongly recommend this agreement for acceptance by the men at all the mines. A referendum vote will be taken on Thursday of this week." Flood Situation Improved. Oklahoma City, Okla, May 1— The North Canadian river and Light- ning creek are receding rapidly and the flood situation is greatly improved. But one person remains unaccounted for. Forty families on Capital Hill, across from Oklahoma City, are home- less. The loss in railway bridges, tracks, live stock, farm and other property is estimated at $100,000. Passengers and Crew Saved. Port Huron, Mich., May 1.—The small passenger steamer Pilgrim, val- ued at $16,000 and carrying four pas- sengers and a crew of twenty-six peo- ple, was run ashore near the lifesav- ing station. The little steamer was in danger of foundering in deep water when Captain Cotten put her ashore. The crew and passengers were safely taken off by the lifesaving crew. Penalty Fixed at Hanging. Grand Island, Neb., May 1—John Hamlin, who has been on trial for sev- eral days for the murder of Rachel Engle of this city, has been found guilty of murder in the first degree, with punishment fixed at hanging. Miss Engle was thirteen years old and Hamlin wanted to accompany her to & carnival. She resisted his attentions and he shot her. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS. The British delegation to the peace conference at The Hague is fiow com- Plete. The sealing season has closed with a catch estimated at 100,000 lower than that of last season. Union machinists in the Twin Citles are on strike. They demand a nine- hour day with ten hours’ pay. Passengers arriving at Willemstad, island of Curacao, from La Guayra, Venezuela, report President Castro again seriously ill. Professor Dexter Putnam Nicholson, for the past sixteen years professor of geology and geography of Lawrence university, Appleton, Wis., is dead. Two hundred thousand dollars, the largest contribution for famine reliet ever made in one day, was sent to C]):jina Tuesday by the Christian Her- ald. Fire al Lorain, O., destroyed the plant of the National Stove company. The loss is estimated at $200,000. Four hundred men are idle as a result of the fire. Snow covers the entire state of Towa ‘from a depth of from three to eight inches. In Des Moines and Central Towa it is eight inches, according to government reports. Fire at Leesville, La., destroyed eighteen buildings, in which were lo- cated twenty-five business firms, in- cluding the First National bank and the Leesville National bank. Henry C. Terry, for many years a leader at the Philadelphia bar, is suf- fering from a bullet wound in the ab- domen. His injury, the physicians say, Is serious in the extreme. Mr. Terry’s secretary said the injury of the lawyer was an accident. MARKET QUOTATIONS. Minneapolis Wheat. Minneapolis, April 30.—Wheat— May, 31c; July, 83%c.

PRESENT RULER UNPOPULAR i Prince Nicholas Accused of Overriding the Constitution and Using the Pub- lic Funds t Swell His Private Bank- ing Account. | Vienna, May 1.—The revolutionary movement in Montenegro is assuming i ‘& serious character, according to dis-| patches arriving here by way of RA} gusa. Disorders are said to be rap- idly spreading throughout the country. The center of the discontcB is at An- drievica, the headquarters of the Vas- sojevics, numerically the strongest | clan in the principality of Montene- gro. The rising is attributed largely | to the alleged attempts of Prince Nich- | i olas to override the constitution which | he bestowed on the country in 1905 and also to his incessant drain on the public purse. The prince is accused’ of utilizing the taxes and other state funds to swell his private banking ac- count. - The cabinets appointed by Prince Nicholas have been turned out by the parliament one after another almost The attempt to suppress the radical ment being accused of instigating the | at Nikshitch and Podgoritza) fanned the revolutionary flames. The clans' ‘were summoned to meet at Andrievica ! and the delegates for the three prin-; cipal clans, all heavily armed, after a stormy conference, decided to send representatives to Cettinje and de-, mand that Prince Nicholas dismiss the Tomanovics cabinet. The prince re-| plied by declaring martial law and' calling out the militia to prevent the revolutionary mountaineers from en-' tering the capital. In the meanwhile! the Tomanovics ministry tendered its, resignation and it is thought probable | that Prince Nicholas will reappoint | the cabinet over which M. Radulcviel presided, as the latter has many sup- porters throughout the country. Arrest in Connection With Recent In- surance Elections. New York, May l.—Jacob Frank, an agent for the New York Life In-! | surance company in this city, has been | arrested chavged with forgery in the| third degree in connection with the | recent election of directors of the! company. It is alleged that the signa- : tures of polieyholders on some of the | ballots cast were forged. The specific | case on which he was arrested is the | alleged forgery of the name of Erhard | G. Frhard, a policyholder insured by a | Frunk agency. It is said, however, | that there are about 100 cases in all. | Frauk claims to have had permission | from fifty or sixty of these policyhold- | ers 1o sign their names to the ballots. | { He also declares that he had no in- structions {0 make use of the policy- holders’ names in this way, but on| the contrary that such use was in vio- | lation of instructions he had received from the insurance comnanv as rapidly as they were appointed. g independent newspapers (the govern-| [ destruction of the offices of two papers ' # oughont the o !
