Not Guilty.
From the Boston Post. I

A young sport just to show his defiance
of law, went trout fishing during the sea-
son when catching trout is prohibited.
A game warden, accompanied by about
twenty young men, went outand watched
him. He asked of the warden: 'sIsn't
it against the law to catch trout this sea-
son? ?" eyes" replied the warden.
"Then why don't you arrest me?'' car
rest you! Why I don't see any occasion
to. You don't catch any fish," And
the young man did have sense enough
to see that his best hold was to take in
his line and take that crowd to town and
treat.

MORPHEUS.

Oh, spirit of the drowsy god come soon,
And sink my being into No-Mans-LaDd;
Breathe over me the balmy breath of June,
And let my dreams by fairy hands be planned.
Far, far from me the worlds vague phantoms lie!
seem to drift in ethereal boat,
Which lightly swims between the earth and sky,
And as through ether ajmessly float,
L reign DER all, am most triumphant king.
For all the peace this world can show is mine !
My Joy is full; want not anything.
And all around me perfect gories shine,
This restless world can show no Joy more deep
Than that which to bless the just mans sleep

First Things 81 American Iron.


Iron was first made in America in
1920, at point on Falling creek, a
branch of the James river, in Virginia
The first iron manufactured west Of
the Allegheny mountains was made in
Fayette county, Pa, in 1880.
The first rolling mill west Of the AL
legheny mountains was located on Cheat
river, in what is now West Virginia.
The date Of its erection is unknown.
The first rolling mill in Pittsburgh
was built by Christopher Cowan, an En-
glishman, in 1912. It had no pudding
furnaces nor was it intended to roll bar
ron.
The first rolling-mill erected west of
the Alleghenies to puddle iron and roll
bars was built in 1916 and 1917, at
place called Middletown, better known
as Plumsock, in Fayette county, Pa.
Pig-iron, manufactured with bitumin-
GUS coke, is claimed to have first been
made as regular product in the United
States by r. H. OEphant, at Uniontown,
Fayette county, Pa, 1885.
Knocked bituninous coal was first
used in blast-furnace about the year
l843, in the Shenango valley, Pa.
The first use of Lake Superior iron
ore in a blast-furnace was in 1858, by
David and John Agnew, at Sharpsvi]le,
Mercer county, Pa.
Cast-steel was made in the American
colonies at an early day. In 1906 there
were two steel-furnaces in Pennsylvania,
producing $50 tons of steelannualiy.
Bessemer steel was first made in the
United States at Wyandotte, Mich, in
the autumn of 1864. -.@ =
The first Bessemer steel rails rolled in
this country were rolled at the North
Chicago rolling-mill on the Oath Of May.
1865, from hammered bl oms made at
the Wyandotte rolling-mill from ingots
Of steel made at the experimental steel
works at Wyandotle.
The first iron rails of any kind made
in this country were cast by the Lehigh
Navigation Company, at their foundry
in the upper end of Mauch Chunk, Pa,
in 1926. A few fat rails were rolled
prior to 1912, but such rails were only
bar iron. The manufacture of heavy
wrought rails was commenced at the MI.
Savage rolling-milll, in Allegheny county,
Md, in 1874.
The first iron vessel built in the
United States was launched at Pitts
burgh in 1889. It was named the Val.
ley Forge. For general navigation pur-
poses it was completely successful.
Other iron vessels were built at Pitts
burgh within the next decade, among
them an iron schooner for ocean service.
and an iron steamer, the Michigan, for
service on the lake-both built for the
| Government about 1912. The latter is

The Romance Of Exploration.

Few noveGsts have so exciting a story
to tell as that which Col. Prejevalsky
brings home with him. He has been
travelling IN regions which no European
foot had trod before him. While the
threatened storm between Russia and
China was growing on the frontier, he
was pushing his way among the unknown
territories of High Asia persistently and
undismayed. He has wandered through
forests that are bright with the plumage
Of blue pheasants. He has explored the
Hbetan highlands, where the peaks are
said to rise 10000 feet above Mont
Blanc, and the very rivers flow at levels
higher than the SUBMITS OF all but the
loftiest OF the Alps. Chinese potentates
have come within an ace of beheading
him. Tartar horsemen and Monaghan
brigands have fled before the unerring
aim of his rifle. Natives have spread
the legend that his eyes could pierce
fathoms deep into the earth and charm
out the precious stones which lay be-
meath and the best opinion that these
tribesmen ever held of him was that he
was well-disposed wizard who flew
about at night. And, alter all this adj
venture, his hope Of reaching the mys-
ferrous "star-spread sea" still stands
for the present bafHed. From the SHOWS
of the Tlbetan mountains flow two
Of the greatest rivers of the earth,
the Yangtze and the Yellow river, the
main arteries of the Chinese plains
Even to the people who dwell upon
them their sources are but vaguely
known. They ARRIVE upon the horizon
Of exact knowledge as mighty rushing
! waters break from the mountains. To
humber origins Prejevalsky has been
unable to trace them. Wh-n he struck
the Yellow river above Gomi he found
it already broad stream, clearing its
way swiftly to the east through deep
ravine cut sharply out of the rocky table
land At frequent intervals as the ex-
plorer pushed along its banks with his
string OF mules and camels he was
checked by cross ravines, in the bottom
of which tributaries rushed to the river.
eve would be marching over the un-
broken plain" he says, when all of a
sudden fearful chasm would threaten
us with yawning throat and the passage
would cost untold fatigue to men and
beasts" He found, in short, that the
project of following up the Yellow river
was impossible. Nevertheless he still
believes that the source may be reached
some other time by starting further
west, and there is little reason to be-
lieve that; Russia, which for two centu-
ries past has been distinguished for the
energy which she has devoted to the
work Of geographical exploration, will not
long allow his services to remain unem.

The Tadsbury Bat Fight,

The entire Tadsbury family were as
sembled in their front room, when sud-.
denly bat, decoyed from his hole in
the roof by the lampight, few into the
house. Mrs. Tadsbury's first impulse
was to faint dead away, but she changed
her mind and exclaimed, couch the
horrid thing. Oh, do put it out! tt
will bite somebody, and they say bats
are dreadful poisonous. Z
The next moment the family were in
arms, bent on the destruction Of the un-
welcome visitor. Old man Tadsbury
grasped his walking stick, his wife the
tongs, while Johnny armed himself with
the broom. The old man thrust fran
tically at the bat with his stick, Mrs.
Tadsbury shrieked and knocked the var
nish off the furniture with the tongs,
and Johnny sent the broom kissing
through the air with force enough to
kill a steer, but the bat flew high and
remained safe.
Johnny" suggested the old man,
that Internal bat is sticking too close
to the ceiling, and you had better mount
a chair and let him have whizzer, as he
circles around"
CAL right, dad," replied Johnny,
placing chair in the middle of the
room. ''You get ready to pounce on
him when knock him down.
Johnny took up his position on the
chair, and the old man yelled
Look out there he comes
The broom went through the air like
a bullet; but the bat passed by I'M
harmed.
"Confound it.! Stop banging me
with those tongs!' shrieked Tadsbury,
as his wife caromed on his left ear while
trying to hit the bat over his shoulder.
Once more the bat came around, and
again the excited father yelled
=" Now, Johnny now's your chance. !"
Whiz went the broom. The mark
was missed, and the blow descending
hit old man Tadsbury on the head and
sent him crashing over the washstand.
His wife, in wild attempt to get out Of
the way, fell over the PROSTATE form OF
her husband, and jahbed the tongs
through the window panes. Johnny
kept his eyes on the bat and worked his
broom like machine, and every tim
one of his parents attempted to regain
their feet the broom came along and
turned their heels up to the ceiling.
About the time he thought he was going
to get in solid lick the chair tilted and
he Owed headforemost into mahogany
bureau and broke the glass, while the
bat flew quietly out of the window.
"I'm murdered" moaned the old man
as he erawled from under rocking
chair. III
my backs out of joint, sobbed his
wife, and Johnny, fearing that he would
have to answer for the general destruc.
ton, skipped out Of the house and sat on
the back fence until the sticking plaster
had been distributed and the wrecl
cleared away.-NeaU Orleans Times.

Again the stranger smelled and shook
his head sadly.
