To the Editor Of the Ledger:
At the interview between Napoleon /
and Alexander in June, 1907, on a raft
moored on the limpid waters Of the Me
men river that laves the banks Of the
beautiful town Of Tilsit, Napoleon un-
folded a map Of the world, saying TO
Alexander: Il only call your attention
to this: There is Asia, placed at the
side of Russia like q pillow on which 10
rest your mead; there is Persia with her
treasures, the Chinese empire with its
great industry and commerce. aud so
on till he came to America, "of which /
will not now speak Of" said he, as it IS
going through the children's disease Of
Republicanism. After it has recovered
from it both Of Us will iuoculate it With
monarchisl principles" We are still
under this disease, and | fear that we
will not 0 o convalesce, judging from
the unsnimity Of the Workingmen's meet.

The EarfhnuaEa or 1898

The region shaken By the earthquake
OF 1868, tor instance, was equal to at
least fourth of Europe, and probably
to fully one-half. From Quito south
ward as far as lquique-or along a full
third part of the length OF the South
American Andes-the shock produced
destructive effects. 1t was also distinctly
felt tar to the north OF Quito, far to the
south of Iquique, and inland to enor-
nous distances. The disturbing force
which thus shook 1000, 900 square miles
OF the earth's surface, must have been
one of alnostinconceivable energy. If
directed entirely TO the upheavel OF q
land region no larger than England,
those forces would have sufficed to have
destroyed utterly every city, town, vii
lage within such a region; If directed
entirely to the upheavel of an Oceanic
region; they would have been capable
OF raising wave which would have
been felt on every shore line of the
whole earth, Divided even between the
ocean on one side and land REGION
larger than Russia in Europe on the
other, those vulcanian forces shook the
whole OF the land region and sent ath wart
the largest of our earth's oceans a wave
which ran in upon shores 10000 miles
from the center of disturbance with
crest 30 feet high. Forces such as these
may farely be regarded as cosmical;
they show Enthusiastically that the earth
has by no means settled down into that
condition of repose in which some geolo-
gists still believe. We may ask with
the late Sir Charles Lyell whether, at
ter contemplating the tremendous ener-
gy thus displayed by the earth any
geologist will continue to assert that the
changes of relative level of land and
sea, so common in former ages of the
world, have now ceased? And agree
with him that if, in the face of such
evidence, geologist persist in mann
tanning this favorlte dogma, it would be
VAIN to hope, by accommodating proofs
of similar CONFUSION during series of
ages, to shake the tenacity of his con-
viction.-The Cornhill Magazine.

The Traditional kenfnckian.

In the old boating times, the Ken
tuckian of legend and romance was o
rambling, rowing fellow, who ended every
sentence with an oath. 1t was he who
made his morning meal of three cock
tails and a "chaw" of tobacco. His
amusements were of much the same
simple order. He could clip the wing
from mosquito at ten PAGES; he would
stop lite boat to tell his scared fellow
passengers Joke. The noble and arlsto-
cratic gamccock was his delight. The
pedigree of race horse was TO him n
sacred thing. He was always ready to
lose his own money and that Of every
body else. He would Fight anything.
rather prcfcrring, indeed, the tiger. The
invention of what has been politely
termed on the other side american
Whist" namely, draw poker, was it,
his case the discovery OF another world
1t struck him all ~ "a heap, beginning
with the name itself. Draw poker. lie
was in the habit Of drawing on bis bank
er, his pistol, and his imagination. ~
this game he could draw on all three at
once and the same time. This person
have described was mistaken by the
northern banker for the southern gen
tlemau, and the lightning rod agent who
appeared among u vas then looked
upon a. specimen of northern gentle
man.-Mr. Watterson's Lecture

What III Cost Him.

Shortly after the Atlantic cable wa:
pronounced a success, and cablegram.
were flying across the waters, a tele
graphic operator at Denver, Colorado
one morning concluded to perpetrate 8
joke On the operators at Omaha, the
point where all kilograms from East to
West were reported. 1t was the time
OF the war between Italy and France,
and the young man prepared the follow
ing telegram, and sent it in the usual
manner to the Omaha officer:
ITO the Emperor Napoleon, Garden
OF the Tuileries, France: Governor
Gilpin will not accede to the cession OF
Italy to France. Please let Bohemia
alone. GOVERNOR GILPIN.
[Signed] Or Any Other Man."
He thought, of course, that the opera.
tor at Omaha would understand that il
was joke, would receive and read it,
then tear it up. But it did't turn out in
that way. The Omaha Office was very
busy one, and the operator had little
time to decide whether a telegram which
passed through his hands was intended
as Joke or not, and the man receiving
it placed it on the Chicago hook, and in
due time 1t was forwarded to Chicago,
thence to New York, and from there by
cable to the French Emperor. Cable
grams are cheaper by far now than they
were in those days. The cost of ten
words from Denver to Paris was $751;
80 in gold.
Nothing more was heard from the
message until the end of the month, the
time for squaring accounts, when Billy
Woodland, the manager of the Denver Of
fee received the following telegram
from the treasurer at New York:
"Come down with the dust"
For the life OF him he did not know
what 1t meant, and telegraphed back to
New York asking information. He re-
ceived the following reply:
"Your cable of the--inst, to En-
perOr Napoleon, Paris, France, signed
Gov. Gilpin, or any other man, amount
due S1S7.50."
This was a sumner, and Bill scratched
his head again and again, trying to think
what it meant. He knew very we'll he
had never received any such amount for
the message, nor was there any record
OF its having been sent. He questioned
the operators about it, when one o. them
al! wonder if it is that
fool thing that sent to Omaha 2" In
quiry developed the fact that that was
the identical hairpin which had caused
the row, and the young mans face was
q study for an artist when told that he
would have to pay the modest little sum
of $3.50 for the enjoyment he derived
from his practical joke. No doubt
be considered it extremely practical.
An effort was made to have the
Cable Company remit the amount,
but did not succeed, and the
result was the young operator had to
"come down with the dust" himself. He
paid it, and ever afterward when he sent
A cablegram to Omaha he would always
inform the receiving operator that it was
not a joke.
The whole telegraph correspondence
and that which passed through the mails
the matter, was framed, and |
IAN be seen In the Omaha Office at the
present day. Just what remark the EN-
)eror of France made when he received |
he message has not been recorded in |

The Marine Ban d.

Eighty years ago, when the republic
was in its earliest infancy, and the navy
consisted of few wooden hulls, one o
them, during crusade on the Mediter
ranean, was boarded by band of mu
sic claiming that they were tho "Roya
band" of Italy, and had deserted witt
the idea of reaching America and max
ing their fortunes in the new world
The American captain realized the stu
alton and hesitated, although he haC
just received orders for the ship to re
turn. 1t seemed almost impossible &c
smuggle the band to America without
detection, and if exposed he would in
cur tho dlspleasure of the Italian gov
eminent, and IN the end be dismissed by
our own.
The band leader watched his counte-
nance, and read that a decision was
about to be declared against the band.
The poor fellow pleaded his cause, and
with accents of pity and distress beg
ged for voyage to "the land of the
free At last, when nearly every ray
OF hope had deserted him, a happy
thought occurred. He was good read
er-also fine Judge of human nature
and he discovered that this American
officer was a lover of good music, and
while the officers were aft to discuss the
question of carrying off the band, the
leader sounded the call, the instruments
were brought out, sheets of music placed
IN position, and the consultation OF the
officers interrupted by such delicious
strains OF music that silence prevailed
"tore and aft"
Ii was the last hope. and every mem
Der of this once famous band felt that
his life and liberty depended on the effect
OF their music on the Americans. Ar
guments, pleadings, and words had fail
ed, and, az the last strain died away ON
the soft air OF that sunny cline, the
brave old veteran captain said 10 his
officers. Gentlemen, that band shall

consequences, whatever may come, will
rest on my shoulders alone" The voy-
age was long one, and before reach

Ii Wasn't The TOOthache.

In the ladies' waiting room at the Cen
trail depot the other day, says the De
troit Free Press, were a newly married
couple from Grass Lake. They had
been visiting in the city two or three
days, and were then ready to go home.
They sat side by eide of course, his arm
around her waist and she leaning on his
shoulder. A long-waisted stranger from
the east, having sore eyes and a big
heart, walked in, saw them thus seated,
and in about q minute he asked Of the
husband:
"Has that woman there got the tooth
ache?"
The husband looked up in surprise,
but made no answer. After two or
three minutes the long-waisted man
again remarked:
"1f that woman has got the toothache
I've got bottle of peppermint in my
satcbel here"
The bride rolled her big white eyes
around, and the husband looked some
what embarrassed. The man from down
east unlocked his satchel, fumbled among
shirts snd collars, and brought up four
ounces Of peppermint essence. He un-
corlled it, touched the contents of the
bottle against his big red tongue, and,
handing it forward toward the husband,
feelingly SAID:
"Just have her sop some on a rag and
rub her gooms with II. We've used it
in our family for"
The brides eyes threw out sparks as
she lifted her head from its loving posi-
ton, and striking at the bottle, she
snarled out:
"Tuthache, you fule. If you don't
know the difference tween true love and
the tuthache you'd better pick grass
with the geese"
AMY Lord" Gasped the man, and he
hurried out, with his satchel in one
hand, and the bottle in the other.
