Puck's History of the United States.

The condition of the country was des-
perate. The aforesaid heel Of British
tyranny had been grinding for consider
able time, and the colonIsts began to emu
late the example of the worm who turned
when trodden upon.
Here we NAV remark, however. that on
general principles it makes very little diff
ference to the person doing the treading
if the worm does turn when he Is trodden
upon. No amount of gymnastics on the
part of the worm can make him dan
gerous antagonist, and he is likely to be
sauashed all the same. BY turning he
only gets slight variation in the mode
of squashing.
But this bit of natural history is d.
erosion.
The British Government imposed so
many taxes upon the unfortunate colo
nists that the latter refused to pay
them.
On the strength Of this bold stand against
tyranny, they (the colonists) called them
serves patriots.
This term, as applied to people who
do not pay their taxes, has fallen into dis
use.
Finally the Government capped the
climax of tyranny and remorseless despot-
ism by irving TO introduce tea into the
colonies.
Hitherto the regular tipple had been ex-
trscted from corn-stalks.
This was the spirit of 1919.
The patriots resented this innovation.
They remarked that freemen never would
be slaves, and they refused to drink cup
which cheered only to moderate extent,
and utterly failed to inebriate.

HNow, is il not q curious thing that
/ there is hardly ever a fne-what you
would call sstrapping-girl in Germany
who is not called either Gretchen-little
Margaret-or little Elizal Without doubt
Lieschen is all that is delightful but who
| but German would ever have dreamed
of calling her little Eliza"
Thus chatting they fell to, while the
pretty Lieschen tried TO look as if she
knew very we'll that she was the topic OF
their conversation.
Suddenly the Frenehman laid down his
knife and fork with an exclamation. ~

salad! To think that we should have for
gotten it, OF course you like it-potato
saladl As to me, adore it.'
So Lieschen was dispatched in all haste
for the potato salad, soon returning with
huge China bowl of il, greatly to the
satisfaction of the delighted Emile.
Tres bon pour restomac," said he,
emptying half the contents of the bowl
upon his already well filled plate. "Try
IT, And, Liebchen-Lieschen, mean
favor US with some more of that Nier-
steiner, will youl"
BY this time the lively Gaul, eithey on
account of the wine, or his potato salad
in which his soul delighted. or his mer-
curial temperament, had begun to regard
Lieschen with something closely akin TO
the eye Of affection, which, under the cir
cumstances, was undoubtedly reprehen-
sible. On her return, therefore, with the
fresh supply Of wine, he seized her play
fully by the arm, and with amorous glance

glass. To this, however, with great show
of bashfulness, she made objection, the
result being a scuffie between them. But
all at once tall figure stood in the door
way, regarding the scene with the gaze
of such mingled wrath and malevolence
that the girls assailant instinctively re-
leased his grasp upon her arm; and she.
turning pale at the steady gaze which
was fixed upon her, instantly busted her
self with the dishes placed on a distant
sideboard. Then the figure at the door
slowly moved away, casting q look upon
the Frenchman, who seemed particularly
uncomfortable.
WHO on earth was that3" cried they,
simultaneously, the one in German, the
other French; for the girl, like most of
the Freiburgians, understood both lam
guages.
"Who was it, Lieschen! What does he
mean by his internal impudencel We
caught him staring at us in the cathedral,
too
But the pretty Lieschen refused to af-
ford any information as to the mysteri-
Gus parsonage, only saying uneasily that
she was a bad fellow, and she feared
him." which latter, indeed, was pretty
evident
So, as she was not to be induced to re-
new her filtration with the disappointed
Emile, the latter reluctantly assented to
Gordon's suggestion that,as it was getting
late, they had better retire to bed.

DEATH OF AN OLD LADY.-Mrs.
Oracle Walls, aged SO years, died at the
residence OF her son-in-lsw, Thos. Wat.
kins, Sunday, March 25th.
WE learn that there is good pros
pect that the Laurel Iron Works, on
Cheat river, may be started again. Large
veins of rich ore have been found recent
ly. near the old furnace, and q company
is now forming in Pittsburgh to take the
matter in hand.
DRowNED-On the 2lst of March q
little daughter of Geo. r. Thomas re-
siding on Flat Run in Marion County
met her death by drowning. The little
girl started To u neignbor's house and
when only few rods from her home, IN
crossing a foot-log, she fell into the
stream and was drowned. Her body
was recovered the following day.
THE UNIvERSITY.-The Spring term
Of the University opens with twenty
five new students; for the two years pre-
ceding, every term has marked slight
decrease in the number; 1t is highly

President Thompson, Notwithstanding
his formal connection with the institu-
tion did not take place until the open
ing of the Spring Term, has for the past
SIX weeks been actively employed in the
interest of the University, and the fruit
of his labor is highly gratifying to his
friends, and is taken as an ernest Of a
success in his work that will regain all
the University has lost and place it high
in the estimation OF the people through

Editors OF the Register:
A newspaper published in Germany
was furnished by its American correspon.
dent with the following statement, some
time ago, viz: "The Germans of tho
United States by their voyage across the
Atlantic ocean, did not lose their innate
or habitual thirst for lager beer. Nor
can they be persuaded by the Anglo
American temperance men to take only
TO cold water rs the healthest and cheap
est of all beverages, or to be satisfied
with & glass of buttermlk once in a
while Without lager beer life in
America would be life without true
value to many German. In the cities
many native Americans drink lager beer
now and then, considering it harmless
and unhurttul beverage. But the Anglo
American. on account of his sober tenn
per, will never, by habit, become n
lager beer drlnker.
No class of German business men in the
United States acquire wealth faster than
the German brewers do. Their business
edfces in the large cities, seen at u dis.
lance, look like castles. In Philadelphia,
Pa, German breweries torn small dis

In the city just named, in Milwaukee,

A Glorious Little Woman.

Houghton (Mtch.l Mining Gazette.
Some five years since Harry Odgers, q
miner from Truro, Cornwall, England,
arrived in this locality. Before leaving
home he loved certain lass, the only
daughter of an lnn-keeper, to whom he
proposed marriage, but was rejected.
Two years ago Harry, who was employ
ed at the Delaware mine, met with An
accident by which he lost his eyesight
The news of his terrible misfortune
didn't reach the ears of his Truro sweet
heart Until quite recently. She thought
of the man who once told her he loved
her and her womsn's heart sOftened.
She wrote to a friend in KeweeDaw
county, and in time got history of his
conoition and the sad plight he was in
on the distant shore OF Lake Superior.
The other evening quiet little woman
arrived on the stage from LAnse, and
before many hours she was at the house
were the blind and MANNED miner was
stopping. She came to take Harry
back to England, without any fuss or
noise, and, it he'll allow her, she intends
to take care for him as his his wife the
balance of his days. Mondays sage
took Harry and his old sweetheart on
their return to Cornwall. She doesn't
want to be married until she gets home.
If there is one seat better than another
in heaven. we know little woman who
will be entitled to it when she leaves
this world.

A WOMAN WHO WAS A JOCKEY.
A Lady's Successful and Brilliant
Career on the Turf


There is q tradition IN Yorkshire of q
clever jockey who was q girl, but so far
as we can learn it is only a tradition.
We may, however, record that lady
twice rode In matches on q public race
course. This was Mrs. Col. Thornton,
and the races we're run at Doncaster
The lady won one of the races, although
she had for her opponent the best pro-
fessional horseman OF his day-Francis
Buckle. The lsdys horse was called
Louisa, and the horse ridden by the
jockey was named Allegro. About $3.50
clock on the 23d of September, 1906,
the match came of, Mrs. Thornton sp-
pearing in purple jacket and cap, nan
keen riding skirts and embroidered
stockings, with purple satin shoes. At
starting Louisa took the lead, and made
the running tor considerable way,
when Allegro went up and headed her
for few lengths; the lady then chal-
lenged Buckle, and after pretty con-
test won her race ingood style. Her bold
and excellent riding excited the admra-
ton of the assembled thousands. The
race was for cup of the value of E700.
The lady had previously ridden in
match OF which description is given in
the annals of tracing in Yorkshire"
Her dress on that occasion is infinitely
described, particularly her ehaussure,
white silk stockings, with white satin
shoes, having buckles of solid gold orna-
mented with diamonds. Buckle, who
opposed the lady, was successful and
hard working jockey; from the year 1888
to 1881 he was indeed the horsemsn OF
his day.
