A pretty and interesting story-pic- ture at the Breed theater for the re- mainder of the week is entitled After Many Years. This story tells of two staunch bophood friends, who, at the time of the breaking out of the war, take sides with opposing factions; one is taken prisoner, and the other, be- ing in command, assists his friend to escape, thereby running a great risk. This serves to bind them closer as friends, and, after many years, the son of the union soldier is given a fime government position in the south. Here he meets a fascinati young girl and falls deeply in love with her, and While his father is visiting him in his new locality is introduced to the bride- elect, who proves to be the daughter of the confederate leader, and new complications arise from the differ- ence in political sentiments, Many fine scenes are presented, among them being the excavations for a large government dam, with steam shovel and dredger at work, these be- ing taken at close range, and the open- ing of the dam for the first time. The Biograph comedy is a scream and is depicted by the favorites of the great east, and keeps the house in roars of laughter. Mr. Plouf sings the novelty illus- trated song, Did He Run? and the beautiful picture-ballad, On the Banks of the Old Mill Stream, both of which were well received. “7'7 sam Noticed the Distinction. " A rich man once visited his stables and watched an old groom currying a favorite horse. “You have worked for me a long time, haven't you, Sam?” queried the rich man. “Yes, sir,” re- plied the groom. “Me an’ this hoss have worked for you 17 years.” “Ah, and T hope you have been well treat- ed, Sam,” said the employer. “Oh, 1 ain't complainin’ none,” said Sam. “But me an’ th’ hoss was sick at th’ same time, an’ I noticed that while weu hired a doctor for th’ hoss you decked my pay for th’ time I lost.” Y The Thistle in Australia. The thistle was introduced into Australia by a Seotsman, who was sent out to Botany bay as a convict, and took with him a number of seeds of his national plant, and sowed them round his dwelling. The plant soon made itself so much at home that it spread over thousands of square miles of territory, and the important folkss of the various provinces have ex- pended many hundreds of pounds im the effort to repress its growth. P Charm of the Atomizer. *My aunt has the prettiest cat €he girl who had just come in, was delicate. She used my cousin Philip’s atomiser on its throat. The cat had asthma. Finally she gave it away. The grocer took it miles in the country, but it came back in a weak and sat on the windowsill, wait- ifng to be let in. Philip said it came dack because it missed his atomizer.” said but it Have Use for Old Piling. There has been secured by a New #ork state pulp company an option on 800,000 cords of sunken pine piling mow lying submerged in the Rideau river and lakes back of Kingston, Ontario, Canada. The piling was sunk about 80 years ago when the Rideau river was a center of commercial activ- ity. The piling will be converted by & chemical process into the finest grades of stationery. 2 A Long-Felt Want. This, ladies, is the non-burglar- Mding bed, the steel sides of which precinde the possibility of there being a man under the bed, yet can be un- locked and collapsed for the purpose of sweeping, etec. It is especially in- tended for the use of unmarried wom- en.—Kansas City Times. Where the Clove Tree Thrives. There is no place in the world where the clove tree thrives as well as in the islands of Zanzibar and Pemba. It is the principal product of the islands, and, together with copra and the ivory brought from the mainland, cloves form the principal item of export. Cow’s Happy End. George, the four-year-old grandson of an extremely pious and devout grandfather, came rushing into the house a few days ago in a state of wild excitement. “Grandpa! Grandpa!” be cailed. “Mr. Barton’s cow is dead! ©God called her home!” Virgin Land in Cuba.

After centuries of misrule Ireland has passed the dawn and seen the bril- liant and glorious sunrise of a new day. Thomas Carlyle held that there would not have been a cordial union between England gnd Scotland if Rob- ert Bruce had not gained the great vic- tory at Bannockburn. But the Irish lost at the Boyne, and that made her long subjection the more galling. In addition, there was religious preju- dice, that is. the most cruel and in- sensate of all fanaticisms. Benjamin Disraeli said that the way to treat Ireland was to grant her all, save absolute independence she could gain by a successful revolution, and- it is a pity that he did not put Sis philosophy into practice when he was in power, though it is pretty certain ‘hjs party would not have allowed it. Ireland is considerably smal geographical area than Kentu Indiana, only 32,000 square miles in extent; but last year her flocks were increased to the number of above 4,- 000,000 sheep. She exported cattle to the value of $45734,577, butter to the value of $17,883,000, and the eggs she sent abroad made a return of $13,637,- 050. To this must be added the enor- mous_quantities of linens and tweeds from her looms and the products of the shipyards.—Washington Post, WANTED—A em,t trustworthy man to w: o whose wife can assist in ,ho%l"ol‘k 2 referred.” F.

These nodules are the source of much trouble in bras. as they Iinjure tools to an alarming extent. American lumber commands fromy 25 to $30 more per 2,000 ft. than Rus sian or Swedish lumber, because it is freer from knots, American lumber be- ing guaranteed te be 85 to 90 per cent. free, while there is no guarantee with other lumber. Lumber is sold by the St. Petersburg standard, which is 1,980 board feet. Consul Willlam W, Canada reports the recent arrival of a British steam- ship at Vera Cruz which discharged upwards of 30 tons of Fnglirkh craek ers and biscuits, consigned to a firm in the City of Mexico for distributio: throughout the republic, which will, o course, compete with similar goods of American manufacture. On recently fusing a little tantalum powder, Siemens and Halske placed it in a kind of Crooks tube inatead of an electric furnace. On the anode the metal powder received the bombard- ment of particles from the cathode, and was quickly fused. A magnet de- flected the tiny stream of bundles, and made it act upon any desired part first of the mass of metal exposed at the anode. Consul Frank W. Mahin of Notting« ham reports that the total number of minerg engaged in the English Mid- land mining district in 1909 was 140,- 009, and the coal produced 130,000,000 tons, the product per miner being about 288 tons, against 297 in 1908. The cause of the decrease per miner Iis sald to be due to the eight-hour law and other factors. Consul General 1, D. Winslow ef Stockholm réports that the water pow- er of Sweden is estimated to. be able 1o, furnish 10,000,000 horsepower If properly handled. This energy can be made availlable for at least nine mopths in the year. Of the great falls of the kingdom 75 per cent. are in Norrland.
