F. L. Bursley. . The First Fork. The first fork? The fork, as a mat- ter of fact, did not appear as a table implement until the seventeenth cen- tury, though as early as the thirteenth century gold and silver ones were made for special purposes. The ordl- pary diner was only provided with a trencher, a napkin 'and a spoon. For knife he used his own, which he car- ried about, and, worse, there was no second trencher, no second spoon. ‘When the several courses came along he exercised his ingenuity and mopped his trencher with his bread. His spoon—well, we ourselves lick postage stamps!—London Chronicle. Comparing Notes. Mrs. Slowboy—My husband’s so lazy that if it wasn’t for me I don’t believe he would get up in time to go to bed. Mrs. Roundef—My husband’s differ- ent. He scarcely goes to bed in time to get up.

Feb,6th For in-: COURT DENIES RATE PETITION Oregon Jurists Refuse In- junction Asked. |SAME ISSUES INVOLVED Case at Bar Was Similar to Minne- sota Suit, but the Findings Are Di- rectly Opposite—Interference With Intrastate Rates the Principal Point at Issue in Both Suits. St. Paul, Jan. 30.—In a railroad case similar to the Minnesota rate cases the federal circuit court at Port- land Ore., has taken a stand opposite that of Judge Charles K. Otis, master in chancery, in his recent findings in the Minnesota litigation, which 1is now in the hands of the federal cir- cuit court for the district of Minne- sota, Third division. J. B. Mills, chairman of the Minne- sota railroad and warehouse commis- sion, received a telegram from the Oregon railroad commission saying that the circuit court at Portland has denied a petition for an injunction filed by the Southern Pacific railroad, involving interference with intrastate rates, which was one of the principal points by which the complaining stockholders in the Minnesota case obtained their favorable finding from Judge Otis. The telegram says that the result of the litigation here was cited as a precedent in the Oregon case. The men who denied the Southern Pacific peti... are Judges Gilbert, Wolverton and Bean. GIRL 1S BRIBERY WITNESS Must Tell of Dinner Given by Candi- date for Congress. St. Louis, Jan. 30.—Miss Irene Cat- lin, millionaire’s daughter, who will become the bride Feb. 4 of Fred W. Allen of New York city, has been sub- poenaed to appear next Tuesday be- fore Commissioner J. J. Barrett and describe a dinner she gave at the Cat- lin mansion to sixteen bricklayers who worked under her direction in the interest of her brother, Theron N. Catlin, successful candidate for con- gress. She will be asked to tell who were there, what the menu was, and how this form of entertainment happened to be arranged. She will be required to tell anything else she may have done to further her brother’s political ambitions and what part she actually took in his campaign. A Nice Calculation. Two very dear old ladles walked up to the window where tickets were to be sold for two popular concerts. They wanted tickets for both nights; but, alas, those for the second evening were all gone! This was the more popular entertainment of the two. “I'm so sorry, my dear!” pattered one of the old ladies to the other. “We did want to go, didn’t we, and we wanted to go both nights?” “You couldn’t give us two tickets for each night?” inquired the other of the clerk. “No, ma’am.” “You haven't two seats anywhere for the second night?” “No, ma’am, Couldn’t give you nose room.” A great resolution beamed upon her gentle face. “Then,” said she firmly, “glve me four tickets for the first night. We will make them do.” “Why, sister,” quavered the other, “you're going to invite somebody ?” “No,” said she, “but if we can’t go both nights”— She paused, bewilder- ed, quite out of her calculation. Then a happy thought struck her, and she added, “We’ll go twice the first night.” ~Youth’s Companion, A Wandering Lake. Lake Nor, in the Tabi desert, In southwestern Asia, which has .been called the “wandering lake,” presents a phenomenon about which contra- dictory views have been entertained. Perhaps the Swedish explorer Sven Hedin has given the most plausible explanation touching this phenome- non. It appears, according to that explor- er, that the Tarim river, entering the lake from the west, brings down dur- ing the period of high water late in summer a great quantity of salt, ‘which has the effect of driving the lake lying on the level floor of the desert toward the southeast. But the sum- mer wind, drifting the surface sand and darkening the heavens with dust, blows generally from the northeast, and it, too, tends to drive the lake be- fore it. The combined effect of the urging by the wind and the river is to force the lake southward. Yet it is thought the migration of the lake is not constant in direction, but it shifts back and forth intermittently, according as the circumstances change. She Forgot. At 3 o'clock the absentminded wo- man left home with an umbrella. At the subway station she concluded it wouldn’t rain and left the umbrella with the corner newsdealer. When she came back at 6 o'clock it was raining. Boys with umbrellas to rent darted toward her when she appeared at the head of the subway stairs. She paid one boy 10 cents to escort her home. Then she remembered her own umbrella. Sheltered by a borrowed umbrella, she went back to get it. The newsdealer looked uneasy. “Just a minute,” he said. come here!” A small boy dodged around the cor- ner of the stand and handed over a dripping umbrella. The absentminded woman looked at the boy; she looked at the umbrella. She recognized both. “Idiot!” she said. “I paid that boy 10 cents for taking me home with my own umbrella.”—New York Press, “Oh, Tom, THE HESSIANS. They Were Good Soldiers, and Some Became Good Americans. There is a popular belief among some people that the Hesslan mercenaries brought here by the British govern- ment to fight the Americans remained here after the war was over and that their descendants constitute a consid- erable element of the Pennsylvania Germans of today. Comparatively few remained here after the war, because the British government was under con- tract to return such as escaped the casualties of the war after it was over. The few that remained made good citi- zens, as they made the very best sol- diers against the ' Americans, and whenever it was practical to do so they were put in the most responsible places by the British commanders. The istense hatrd at one time against the so called Hessian soldiers, some of which still lingers with the present generation, is very unjust, be- cause they did not volunteer to fight against the Americans, but they were forced into the British service by the impecunious German princes who sold them to the British like so many slaves. The Hessian soldiers would sometimes take a notion to desert, and they invariably found refuge among some of the German colonists. A con- siderable number of them were left behind from time to time on marches, on account of sickness or wounds. These always found a ready welcome among German settlers; few of them ever found the way back to their na- tive land.—“Pennsylvania Germans,” by William Beidelman. LIBERTY BELL. Its Connection With the Declaration of Independence. The famous Liberty bell was cast in London in 1752, brought to America and subsequently recast in Philadel- phia. It bears the inscription, *“Pro- claim Liberty Throughout the World and to All the Inhabitants Thereof.” It ‘was cracked while being tolled after the | death of Chief Justice John Marshall in 1835. It is kept on exhibition in In- dependence hall, Philadelphia. It has had a fictitious importance owing to the popular belief that its ringing pro- claimed the adoption of the Declara- tion of Independence on July 4, 1776. Concerning this bellef, however, Fried- enwald in his “Declaration of Inde- pendence” (1904) says: “There is no shadow of authority even for associating the ringing of the | bell with the announcement of the agreement upon independence. The mythical legend of the blue eyed boy waiting outside the door to give the signal to the man in the bell tower is the product of the fertile imagination of one of Philadelphia’s early ro- mancers, George Lippard, who first gave currency to it in his appropriate- ly called ‘Legends of the Revolution.’ This book was published in 1847.”"— New York American. His Experience. “Jasper,” said - Mrs. Grigson, who was looking over the morning paper, “here’s a story of a woman who was robbed on a street car in broad day- light, and yet the thief got away un- suspected.” Mr. Grigson said that he had seen the item, but that it was either a typo- graphical error or else the story was pure invention. “Why do you say that?’ wife. “Look at the item again. It says her purse contained $100 in currency, does it not?” “Yes.” “It says there was also a receipted bill for a five dollar hat, does it not?” “Yes.” “Well, no woman with $100 in cash in her possession would buy a five dol- lar hat.”—Youth’s Companion. asked his His Critio. “The greatest compliment that I ever received,” says Opie Read, “was a crit- fcism. Several years ago I went to Arkansas and visited the scene where one of my storles is laid. The landlord of the little hotel sald to me: “‘Here comes a little old fellow to whom I loaned a copy of your book. He can’t read, but his wife reads to him. Let’s see what he says about the book. “‘«“Hello, Jason, did your wife read that book to you?” “¢“Mawnin’, sah. read it to me.” ‘¢ “Well, what do you think of it?” “¢“Huh? That ain’t no book at all. I done lived hear fo’ fo'ty yeahs an’ 1 done hearn folks talk that a-way all th’ time.” * ”—Cincinnat! Inquirer. Yes, she done Love and the Laundry. “The only thing I find to say against you is that your washing bill is far too extravagant. Last week you had six blouses in the wash. Why, Jane, my own daughter never sends more than two.” “Ah, that may be, mum,” replied Jane, “but I 'ave to! Your daughter’s sweetheart 1s a bank clerk, while my young man is a chimney sweep. It makes a difference, mum.”—London Tit-Bits. Cleaned Them Out. - First Girl—Was your bazaar a great success? Second Girl—I should think 0. All the gentlemen had to walk jome. They hadn’t even a penny in their pockets to pay their tram fares. ~London Tit-Bits.

CAUSES STIR IN BUREAU Minnesota Senator's Amendment to the Indian Bill Called Vicious by the Head of the Department and Al- leged fo Be Intended to Undo the Work of the Department of Justice. ‘Washington, Jan. 30.—Senator Moses E. Clapp and Attorney General Wickersham' had a rather warm inter- view concerning affairs on the White Earth Indian reservation. Clapp put through an amendment' to the Indian appropriation bill which upset the plans of the Indian bureau in that it provided for an entire new endowment of all persons entitled to allotments. Commissioner Valentine immediate- ly began & fight on this amendment, which is also pending in the house committee on Indian affairs.: He claimed it was vicious legislation aimed to undo the work of the depart- ment of justice. Senator Clapp heard of this and, armed with several affidavits which it is said would form a proper basis for an investigation by congress, he went to the department of justice and laid them before the attorney general. Senator Clapp stated that special agents of the government have been inducing allottees, who have been for years known and installed as mixed bloods, to declare themselves full bloods. Attorney General Wickersham said that he considered matters so serious that he had sent some of his men up there to prosecute cases against specu- lators, who it s claimed have swindled Indians. The cases will soon be pre- sented in court. A large number of prominent busi- ness men, lawyers and several miixed blood Indians from White Earth are here seeking to have matters adjugted. EIGHT CENTS A DAY Workers’ Pay In England When Bioard Was a Shilling a Week. There was a time when a workiman in England received 8 cents a dmy as an ordinary wage, when skilled ar- tisans commanded 12 cents a day and when women worked in the fleld af such tasks as reaping straw, hoeing, planting beans and washing sheep for 2 cents a day, and a wise student of the subject has expressed the ¢pin- fon that the British workman of that day. was better off than he has iever been since then. That sounds paradoxical. But the explanation is this: The workman who sold his services for 8 cents a day could buy good beef or mutton for 1% cents a pound. Wheat cost hina on the average only 18 cents a bushel. He could get board for 12 to 16 cents a week. The pay he would receive for fifteen weeks’ services would suffice to purchase a supply of suitable food- stuffs, according to the standard of’ his time (consisting of wheat, malt and oatmeal), to maintain his family for an entire year. Under these circumstances 8 cents a \day—increased to 12 cents in harvest time—was a fair wage, and “times ‘were good” for the average workman. ~McClure's Magazine. In Honor Beund. “Here's 25 cents,” said a tramp to a bartender in New York. “I want to pay it,to you fer that free lunch, and then you can throw in five glasses of beer.” “Twenty-five cents will buy the beer,” answered the bartender. “The lunch is free, you know.” “I don’t want it that way,” the tramp insisted. “I want ter pay. a quarter fer the lunch and get the beer free.” “It’s all the same price either way,” the barman explained. “What differ- ence can it make?” “It's a matter o’ personal honor, sir,” was the tramp’s reply. “I promised the old lady wot give me the quarter that I'd spend it fer something to eat! See?” Scotchmen are fond of an argument and- delight to find flaws In an oppo- nent’s logic. Two blacksmiths were qnce conversing as to which was the first trade in the world. -One insisted that it must have been gardening and quoted from Genesis, “Adam was put into the garden of Eden.to dress it and keep it.” '“Aye, John,” reterted the other, who had stood up for his own trade, “but wha made the spades?” Laughter and Death. He can be said to have won the game of life who at the last can laugh. That final speech of O. Henry, the short story writer, was finer than any story he ever wrote. Just as_he was dying e turned to the doctor and said: “Pull up the curtain, doc. I'm afraid to go home In the dark.” The speech had in it wide courage and a sense of values.
