A CURIOUS PUBLIC DOCUMENT.

Texas issues public document entitled
IA List Of Fugitives from Justice" 1t
contains 225 pages, and puts the number
of fugitives at 4,4O2, with forty counties
yet to hear from, which cover some of the
most populous portions of the State. Of
those criminals $50 are charged with mur-
der. Rewards ranging from $50 to 81, 900
the aggregate being 500, ,0oo-are offered
for 800 of the fugitives, and detectives out
of job might find this State good one to
emigrate to. 1t is estimated that over
200 horses have been stolen in Texas
in the last three years, and come $50 in
dicted horse thieves are fugitives from JUS
tice in the State.

Squirrels in Lapland are in the habit of
emigrating i'll large parties, and sometimes
travel hundreds of miles. When they meet
with broad lakes, they take very extraor-
dinaly method of crossing. They approach
the banks, and, perceiying the distance be-
tween them and the opposite shore, they
return, as if by common consent, into the
neighLoring forest, each in search of
piece of bark OF light wood, which answers
the purpose of a boat to ferry them over.
When the whole company are provided in
this manner, they boldly commit their feet
to the waves, each squirrel sitting on his
own boat, and tanning the air with his tall
in order to drive himself across. In this
orderly manner they set out, and often
cross lakes several miles broad in this way,
1t occasionally happens, however, that the
poor squirrels encounter such gale TINT
nearly all their vessels are capsized and
they are shipwrecked 1t is III i'll wind
that blows nobody good however, and the
shipwreck, so disastrous to the squirrel, is
matter of great rejoicing on the part of
the L@plander on shore, who gathers up
the dead animals thrown on shore by the
waves, cats the desh and sells the skins.

THE MARSEsLEAkSE.

The words and music of the "Marseil-
laise" have been attributed to a certain
Rouget de Lille. He is said to have been
born in 1850, and to have been the son of
q lawyer. In April, 1892, SO runs the
story, just after the French had declared
war against the Austrinns, De Lille hap
pened to be in q garrison at Strasburg.
The mayor of the town invited him to din
ner. The conversation chanced on mill
tary matters, and De Lille, who was known
to have turn for music and poetry, was
asked to compose something suitable for
the political occasion. Dc Lille, excited by
the dinner, and complimented by the de-
mand, took his fiddle as soon as he reached
his quarters, and produced what Ulbaeh
calls ''the eternal poem of the great apoges
of the Revolution" 1t was originally
known as the "Hymne des Marseillaise."
Like Korner's sword song, it was immedi-
ately learned by cart by everybody. Also,
like Korner's sword song, or like Jonah's
gourd, it grew up, as we see, in single
night. Not to sing it was a disgrace; to be
ignorant of it was almost crime.

WONDERFUL SPIDERS WEss.

Across the "sunny paths" of Ceylon,
where the forests meets the open country,
and which constitute the bride roads of
the island, an enormous spider stretches it's
web at the height of from four to eight
feet from the ground. The cordage of
these webs is fastened on either side to
projecting shoots of trees or shrubs, and is
50 strong as to hurt the travellers face, and

WATCHES,

Watches were originally made Of steel
and iron. No glasses were used until
about 1915 the cases being wholly of metal
and 10 admit of readily SEEING the time,
the cover of the face was sometimes per-
forated in elegant designs. Instead of the
form low universally adopted, various
styles of casin were employed, such as
globular, octangular, cruciform, skull,
coffin, acorn, pear, melon, tulip, bird, and
in fact, nearly every imaginable shape that
ingenuity could invent or caprice sug-
gest; and, as a consequence of tEis and tho
fact that many of those watches were pro-
vided with striking movements, they were
SO bulky that it was inconvonient to carry
them in the pocket. and they were hung at
the gir,lle with Swivels so that their faces
could be readily turnad for observation
without being removed from their position.
The hair spring was not introduced until
about 1893, and was a great improvement
Oh the early watches. About q century
later, the smallest repeating watch ever
made was presented to George III. of Eng
land. 1t was smaller than our silver half
dime, and only weighed five pwts. seven
and three-fourth aims, case and all-the
movementitself only weighing two pwts. and
two and one-eighth grains. It was necessary
to make a set Of minute tools for its con-
structon. For this watch the manufacturer
received a present from the king of five
hundred guineas (about two Thousand five
hundred dollars), and it is reported that he
was aftcrward offered thousand guineas
to duplicate it for the Emperor of Russia,
but he refused it, SO that his gift of tie
king might remain unique. A smaller
watch than this, however, formed apart of
the Swiss exhibit in the Worlds Fair of
1851, but this was not repeater. 1t WAS
only threo-sixteenths of an inch in dame
ter, and was set in the end of pencil case.
1t not only gave the hours, minutes,
and seconds, but the days Of the month
also.

BUT a trilling period of time has
elapsed since that saddest, bloodiest of
our Indian tragedies was enacted-the
massacre of the chivalric Custer and his
command-and yet marvellous change
has been already elacted' throughout the
valley of the Yellowstone and its tribu
taries. The tide Of emigration has
poured in from all sections. Schools
ana stores and newspaper offices and
churches, and improved farms and herds
of cattle, now dot the fertile valleys and
the green hiilSides, where two years ago
armed bodies of disciplined troops conId
only go, and then not always safely. At
Tongue River, where General Miles was
cncampcd in 1861, town has sprung
up with population of over one thou
sand. Many other localities in the then
center of saVagcdom have grown into
thriving colonies of entcrprising Ameri-
can citizens within the two years past.
1t is a marvel to the people of the Old
World, and even to ourselves, how we do
these things in America.

Honor I'm his own Land,

Says Comley in his recently y-issued
work. The History of New York Stare
'fThe day has paSsed when the benefac-
tors Of humanity were allowed to live in
ignominions poverty their sacrifices,
their labors, unrecompensed. To-day,
the benefactors of the people-the men
who devote their lives and energies to
the Interests Of humanity-tbess are the
men whom the world delights to honor,
and whom 1t rewards will princely for
tunes. As an earnest worker for tho
welfare of his fellow-men, DIR. X. V.
Pierce has won their warmest sympathy
and esteem. While seeking to be- their
servant only, he has become a prince
among them. Yet the immense fortune
lavished upon him by a generous people
be heards not, but invests In the erection
and establishment of institutions directly
contributive to tho public good, the
people thus realizing, in their liberal
patronage, new meaning of that beauti-
full Onental custom of casting bread
upon the waters. Noted In both public
and private life for his answering integ-
rity and all those sterling virtues that
ennoble manhood. DR.. Pierce ranks high
among those few men, whose names the
Empire State is justly proud to inscribe
upon her roll of honor. Ambitious, yet
moved by an ambition strictly amenable
TO the most discriminating and we'll
balanced judgment, his future career
promises to be one of unparalleled activi-
W and usefulness, ably supplementing
the work he has already accomplished,
by life at once noble in effort, enviabls
in its grand results" While DIR. Pierce's
genius and energy have won for him so
enviable position ON the records of a
nation, having been elected Senator by
an overwhelming majority, his justly
celebrated Household Remedies have
gained for him a yet more desirable place
in the hearts of grateful people. His

WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY
The N1eyorm1ty.

49,
Mr.. EDITOR Who are the Democrats
going to nominate for Mayor to be run
by them at the next city election? 1t will
take good man to win. There are three
confii letting elements. One is the temper
ance men; the second the liquor dealers;
the third is the middlemen, who want a
good man-one who win enforce the laws
As to what the temperance men intend
to do, we are not very well posted
Probably they may take up some one and
try their strength at the coming nomina-
ton. 1t is very sure that the liquor men
will look out for their interest. AT the
last election they were successful and
elected their candidate for President of
City Council That was shown by the
vote in the flve lower Wards while the
same gentleman carried the temperance
men of his own party in the five upper
Wards. The Democratic candidate had
been conslstant temperance man for
many years yet the temperance men on
the other side voted with the rumites and
elected their man by quite nice majori-
ty, and to hear them talk about the whls-
key sellers and thieves as some call them
you would suppose that they could not be
induced to vote for a man who was taken
up by the liquor men. f we expect to elect
our candidate at the next election we
must take up good man-one whom the
party and the people will rally upon; one
who has the ability to fill the Office with
| credit. Our first Mayors, think, ranked
higher in that respect than they bave in
late years. Let us look around and see If
we cannot find one amongst our best
citizens who have lived with us for
many years, who we all know and respect
and who If we elect him, will be a credit
to the party and to the city. We have
plenty of just such men in our party, and
/ IL would be better for us to be beaten
with a good candidate than TO elect one
who is not fit to hold the office. 1t is
said that some of our old Mayors are
looking after it again. / hope they will
not be nominated. They did not fill the
place with credit to themselves or the
city.
The Mayors office is lucrative one
and 1t is the highest honor that we can
confer upon any one. III Is a place tha'
should be filed with our best citizens, who
will enforce our ordinances and the laws
of the State, and take a little more notice
of those who wilfully break them. Oui
police need a new man to look after them
They appear to go around the city pretty
much in the same track all the time, like
a door swinging on its hinges There is
q little too much system or red tape
while that is good in its place. What we
want is little more activity in looking
after the bad fellows who are breaking
our laws on the Sabbath days. 1t is theft
business to see that these lager-beel
houses and whiskey shops are shut VI
on that day and take up the rowdies tina
/ they find in the streets at all time!

Old Coins.

Harry NJ. Mullin, the well-known cigar
and tobacco dealer at Front and Jeffer-
son streets, has in his possession num-
ber of old coins, among which are the
following:
Pennies of 1876, 1897, 1900, 1902, and
1903; also an old Colonial penny, very
much worn, with partially obliterated
date showing that 1t was coined some
time in the seventeen hundreds.
A half cent of 1928.

1919.
He also has an English penny dated
1923. On the face of this coin is the fig
