Sam Il. Clover the Dakota poet
and humorist, has literally "tramped"
around the world. Some years ago
he set out from Chicago with no
money and no companions save two
other tramps, who rode in the same
box-car with him. In this precarious
manner he went through to San
Francisco, suffering on the road all
the ills of the tramp's condition and
associating exclusively with the ilk to
which he at the time belonged. In
this manner he made n complete tour

passage, now shipping as stow

seldom without the company of a
tramp or two

who will not permit his name to be
known, has given to the Yale College
library complete set of the publica-

the dialects of Europe, and particular
y OF the Basque language, numbering
some $50 volumes. These books were
printed in small numbers, some in
editions of 250 copies and some of
20 only, and it is now said to be a
hopeless task to get a set ut any price.
Massachusetts is discussing the
question of corporal punishment in

State Superintendent of Schools some
eighteen thousand flogglngs were ad-

for punishment; most OF tho lighter
punishment is done by the assistant

principal himself, who has the physic-
al strength often necessary to make

Signing of the Declaration.

The Magazine of American History
presents historic and incontrovertible
reasons for believing that the Declara-
ton of Independence was not signed
by any one on the Fourth of July, 1776,
except by John Hancock as president
and by Charles Thompson as secretary;
that the engrossed copy which had
been made on the Fourth of July was.
by happy afterthought, signed gen.
orally August 2; that the approving
vote was not unanimous on July 4.
but was approved by several; that one
of those who was present July and
approved is not among the signers
enrolled; that at least one-eighth OF
the signers were mot even members of
Congress on July 4. 1776. So history
gets pulled to pieces and facts displace

Indeed, one of the Ssughable incon-

MOSQUITO TERRITORY.
A Tiny Central American State Whose
People Arc Children Of Nature.


People Arc Children of Nature.
The royal family of Mosquito Terri
Tory owes its origin to the shrewdness
of the early English traders who sue
ceeded to the business of the Que
cancers and freebooters when the lat
tor were driven from tho Spanish seas.
At that period the Moscos were divided
on the question whether or not to well
come tho English. The English fa-
vored the friendly portion, aided them
in their fight, and crowned the con-
quering chief as King. The royal
purple and insignia comprised faded
red coat cast off by some Lieutenant,
n silvcr-gilt crown, very large
sword, and scepter of moderate
value. The traders pursued the same
policy with lesser chiefs, and such IL
lustrious names us Lord Nelson, Duke
of Wellington, Duke Of York and
Marlborough were handed around so
freely that along the shore to-day one
feels as If he had dropped into the
most exclusive circles of Belgravia.
