Those GoGd Old Times.

A curious book on 'ithe good old
times in Berlin has been published by
Prof. G. Langenscheidt In the middle
of the eighteenth century no one could
leave the country without special pass,
on penalty of losing the whole of his
property; citizens accused of theft or
murder were put to the torture and
hanged if they confessed their guilt;
even fraudulent bankruptcy was pun
ished by hanging. A boy ten years old
was hanged for stealing street lantern.
The wea1thier citizens were ordered by
the King to build houses in the Fried
richstadt; and, as those houses generally
remained unoccupied, their proprietors
were often nearly ruined. The punish
ment for driving too quickly in the
streets was twenty-five blows with q
stick, and the King himself used to beat
the people of his court, including the
Princes and Princesses, with a long
knotty stick of whitethorn, which has
become historical The officers thrashed
the sergeants, the sergeants the privates,
employers their servants Street fights
were of daily occurrence, and the victims
were most frequently the police, whose
office was considered dishonorable. All
appointments in the civil service had to
be purchased. The price of a Privy
Councillorship was 500 thalers, of an or
binary Councillorship 800 thalers, of a
private secretaryship 200 thalers. For
salaried posts the price was higher; thus,
for an appointment the salary of which
was 10 thalers the price was 600 tnalers.

The Largest LandhOlder i'm America.

Probably the largest landholder in
America is ex-Gov Coburn of Maine.
Incredible as it may seem, he is the
owner of not less than 593, 900 acres, di-
vided up as follows: Maine, 450,0
acres; Canada, 135, ZOO; Wisconsin, 3d.,
600; Dakota, $4,000; Michigan 10000;
Mir nesota, 5000. His latest purchase
is that of the tract in Dakota, and was
taken of the Northern Pacific railroad
in lieu of stock, in which road he invest
ed some S50O,O0O. His agent, Mr..
Whipple, has just returned from the
West. where he has been to look after
Mr.. Columns interests and see about
the last purchase. He reports the land
in Dakota as among the finest held by
the Governor. He says it is well adapt
ed to growing cereals, and fine crops of
wheat have been harvested in the vicin-
ity the present season. The Governor
is said to be besieged with beggars Of
both high and low standing, and scarce
ly day passes but he receives letters
asking aid to help build semInaries,
churches, and charitable institutions
He is reported rs giving away upward
of $780, 900 per annum. Mr. Coburn is
probably worth sc, 600, 600.

Chief Joseph as an Orator.

I suppose that the story OF Joseph's
stirrehdet has grown f11onoionot1s to most
persons; still l cannot refrain from Civ
ing Joseph's reply to the demand for
surrender made by Gen. Miles. Joseph,
when he surrendered, stepped up to
Gen. Howard, who was standing by the
side of Gen. Miles, and handed him his

"No, Joseph, although I have followed
you for nearly 5000 miles, cannot take

A Terrible Indian.killer.

A man who has been in the Black
Hills and returned is a big gun at the
village drug store, and feels called upon
to tell the truth when narrating his ad-
ventures. Such man, named Curt,
was telling, the other night, how many
Indians he had killed during his three
months residence in the Hills.
After he had talked half an hour, one
the number killed, exhibited the figures.
''I find" he exclaimed, Hthat you killed
800 savages in three months" s'Is

Black Hitler. "Why, [ believe you

wHITTIERS SONG OF THE PUMPKIN

All ! on Thanksgiving day, when from east and
from west,
From north and from south come the pilgrim and
guest,
When the gray-haircd New Ensa,.t,er sees round
his board
The old broken links Of affection restored,
When the carI-wearied man seeks his mother once
more,
And the matron smiles where the girl smiIed
before.
What niosiens the lip, and what brightens the eve
What calls back the past like rich PUMPKIN pie !?
Oh, fruit loved of boyhood-the cid days recalling
When wood-grapes are pnrphng, and brown nuts
fallines
When wild, ugly faces carved in its skin,
Glazing out through the dark with candle within /,
When we laughed around the corn-heap, with hearts
all in tune.
1chair a broad pumpkin our lantern the rooon
Telling tales of the falry who Travelled like steam
In a punll lkin-shel coachs with two rats for her
team
Then, thanks for tiny prescnt-none sweeter or
better
Ger smoked from oven, or c;rcled a platter!
Fairer hands never wrought at pastry more fine
Brighter eyes never watched DER its BAKING than
thine!
And the prayer which my mouth is too Sun to es-
press
5weIs my heart that thy shadow may never be less
That the day of thy lot may be heightened below
and the fame of thy worth like pumpkin vine
grow.
nd thy life be as sweet, ard its last sunset sky
Olden-t tinted and fair as thy own pumpkin-pie!

THE LOCUST.
WestWafa the Pestifersus Insect Takes its
Course.

DR. A S. Packard, Jr, Secretary Of
the United States chronological Com
mission, returned early in October from
an extended torrrex N the western Ter
ritories and the Pacific coast, which vas
undertaken for the purpose of ascertain
ing the western limits of the migrations
of the Rocky mountain locust, and to
determine whether It was this locust or
similar sbecimes which, fer two cent
uries past, has periodically Trade rava-
ges N certain localities in Oregon ahd
California His trip has been success
ful in settling both of these points. It
was found that the Rocky Mountain To-
Gust had migrated from the region about
Boise City. in Southwestern Idaho, INTO
Northern Eetada By way of Bruheau val
ley, where they we're abufidafit aha des-
tr;1ctive in July. During the first Week
in August they invaded Nevada, proving
very annoying Ia the Owyhee valley,
near Cornucopia, New. They ate up the
crops; e%en filing wells, such was their
abundance. They had he1er been seen
or heard of by the settlers previous to
this summer. In Oregon the Rocky
mountain locust migrated from Montana
or Idaho into the Burnt river country
about the 10th of July, destroying the
crops on several ranches, and il is feared
by the farmers that another Jeat they
viii reach the vicinity of Walla Walla,
where a good deal of wheat is now
raised. This is the first year that they
have been seen so far west, though
from the 1iaii ilEe cf The country, there
seems no reason why swarrns of Iociists
should not extend as far west as the
Dalles of the Columbia, or the eastern
tank of the Cascade mountains. 1t ap-
pears as a matter of fact that the locust
rarages as far west as the Goth meridian,
and extends from latitude 55 degrees to
81 degrees along this metidian. It was
foand that grasshopper closely resent
bling the Rocky mountain locust, but
smaller and with shorter wings, abounds
on tbs Pacific coast. on both sides of the
Sierra Nevada; and extends northward
into Oregon and Washington Territory:
It is believed by the commission that
this is the locust which has in former
years, iii certain localities, devastated
wheat-felds in Oregon aud California.
Many facts were collected regarding the
cricket which has devastated Idaho. Ore
gon. and Washington Territory. In one
locality In Nevada, in 1875, 1000 worth
of wheat was devotred by these insects.
The commission has made q general sur
veY of the Iocuet region during the past
season, and accumulated large mass of
information regarding the habits of the
locust and the best means of preventing
its ravages, which will be presented to
Congress early in the winter. The COM
mission and their assistants have been
everywhere aided and encouraged by
farmers and others directly concerned in
agriculture, and it is hoped that the re-
suit of the work thus far accomplished
will be of lasting value to the agricult-
11re of the West

How to Cock and Serve the Canvas
Back.

Upon the table, the canvas back
makes royal dish, though few can dis
tinguish between it and the red-head
when both are in season. Only those
very familiar with the birds can tell
which is which when alive, and, when
served, it becomes almost an impossi-
bi1ity. The celery flavor is more marked
in the canvas back in the best of the sea-
son. 1t is seldom served precisely as it
should BE- anywhere out of Maryland.
# allowed to remain in the oven five
minutes too long, it is unfit for the ta-
bic. A goo1 deal depends upon the
carving. A good quick oven will cook
full-sized duck in twenty-five minutes.
1t should never remain in over twenty
FIVE After a duck is picked and drawn,
it should be simply wiped dry. Water
should never touch it, and it should be
fairly seasoned before going to the fire.
When done, the birds should be placed
in pains in hot, dry dishes. There is no
need to prepare a gravy; Immediately
they are cut, they will fill the dish with
the richest gravy that ever was tasted.
One canvas back to each "cover," is
considered fair allowance at Mary
land table, but, when the bird is only an
incident of the dinner or supper, of
course half bird is sufficient for each
person. Slicing the bird is unheard of.
The tTo-probged fork is inserted dag
onally astride the breastbone, and the
knife lays half of the bird on each side,
leaving the "carcass" on the fork be-
tween. The triangle of meat an inch
thick comprised between the leg and the
wing, with its apex at the back and its
base at the breast, is considered the
most delicious morsel of meat that ex-
lists. The canvas back in Maryland is
served with large hominy fried in cakes,
celery, and dry champagne, or bot
tie of Burgundy that is Burgundy

COLUMBUS.
Official Statement of the Finding of the
Bones OF the Discoverer of America in
San Hofa;1Mc,

Ohicial Statement of the Finding of the
Bones of the Discoverer of America in
San Sots.; go.
The United States Consul at San Do
mipgo has transmitted to the Depart
ment of State an account Of the recent
discovery of the bones of Columbus in
that city. Dying in Spain in 1906, the
tett.aitts Of Columbus were first deposit
ed in the Ca19ebt of ST. Francis in 1913.
They were transferred to the Catthusian
Convent at Las Cuenas, from whence
they were shipped to San Domingo in
1885, and deposited in the Cathedral of
that city. In 1796 these remains, as it
was then and ub to the present discov-
cry believed, were conveyed in great
pomp to tie Cathsdfai of Havana, where
they were supposed tc hnve reposed
ever since. The Consul at San Dornin
go says that while some wOrkmen were
digging up the floor around the pulpit
IN the Cathedral, to make some repairs,
they EXPOSED t1 view Il walled oritice
containing leaden case twe feet long
by about eight inches deep and eight
inches wide, the inscription on which
bore ineontestible evidence that the con-
tents were the bones of Christopher
Columbus. Immediately on this discov-
cry being fiiadt, the remains were re-
stored to their original restibg-place and
the receptacle walled up. On the 10Th
of September, in the presence of the
Governor and other Government officials,
and the Sations Coneuls, amid the
sounds of martial fntisic and the BOOM
ing of cannon, the remains were again
exhumed, the box, bones, and inscrip-
tion examined, and the facts recorded
and attested to by all the officials and
Consuls present. The iezd box contain
ing the remains was then inclosed in
another box, carefully sealed with the
seals of the Consufs, to be opened only
In their presence, and placed Ii the GUS
tody of Padre Billini, in the church Of
Regina Angelorum, to be held by him
subject to investigation by any foreign
commissions desifous of satisfying them
selves of the facts, and until & suitable
amount can be raised to erect fitting
modcment over the remains. It be-
ing suggested that other countries might
like to contribute to the erection Of this
monument, the various Consuls were re.
quested to bring the subject to the at
tention of the various Governments, in
order to give them s. chance to do so.
The ancient records of the Cathedral in
San Domingo having been long ago
destroyed by vandals, no facts concern
ing the supposed removal of these re-
mains to Havana can be ascertained III
San Domingo, but it is conjectured thet
the monks palmed off on the Spaniards
the remains of somebody else, retaining
to themselves and their Cathedral the
venerated bones of the great navigator.

father was yet asleep, and she aBoke
him, saying: "Mother threw all of Us
into the creek and then jumped in her
SELF" AS soon as possible Mr.. Way fol-

and some neichbors joined him On the
road With the assistance rendered by
the neighbors, Mr.. Way succeeded in

dren, but two of the little ones were
drowned: Mrs. Way had been thought
for some time to be slightly insane, but
not sufficiently so to be deprived OF her
liberty.

" A farmer saw two men trying to drive
a hog past his premises few days since,
but the brute appeared so obstinate that
they at last told the farmer that they
were having so much trouble with the
hog that if he would kill it for them he
might have half for bis trouble. Ac-
cepting SO generous an offer, he soon
had the hog dressed, when the men took
haif and drove away. Not long after he
went to feed his own hog, but the pen
was empty, and it did not take him long
TO figure out that he had killed his own
hog, receiving half of it for his trouble. !"
