True History of the Brave Boy with .
Penchnnt for Piums.
Most people have been made &C
quainted in the nursery with
Little Jack Horner. -.
Who sat in a corner,
Eating Christmas pie,
Put in his thumb
And pulled out plum,
And SAID: What q brave boy am IT.
This individual was not a myth. but
real parsonage. Tradition furnishes
the following story Of the fortunate
fellow: When Henry VIII. suppressed
the monasteries and drove the poor old
monks from their nests the title-deeds
Of the abbey of Mells-including the
sumptuous grange built by Abbot Bell
wood-were demanded by the commits
sioners. The Abbot of Glastonbury de-
termined that he would send them to
London, and as the documents were
very valuable and the road infested by
thieves, it was difficult to get them to
the metropolis safely. TO accomplish
this end, however. he devised the fol-
lowing plan:
He ordered a pie to be made-as fine
as ever smoked On refectory table;
inside he put the documents-the
finest filling a pie ever had since pies
were first made, and he intrusted this
dainty to lad named Horner to carry
up to London to deliver safely into
the hands for whom it was intended.
But the journey was SO long and the
day cold, and the boy was hungry.
and the pie was tempting, and the
chance of detection was small.
So the boy broke off a
piece OF pie and beheld parchment.
He pulled it forth innocently enough,
wondering how it could have reached
there, tied up in pastry. and arrived
in town. The parcel was delivered,
but the title-deeds Of Mells abbey es-
tate were missing. Jack had them in
his pocket. These were the juiciest
plums in the pie. Great was the rage
of the commissioners; heavy the ven
geance they dealt out to the monks.
Jack kept his secret, and when peace
able times were restored claimed the
estates and received them. Whether
Mr.. Horner deserves the title OF "good
boy bestowed on him by the nursery
lament, is more than doubtful; how
ever, that's the story.-Troy Times.

to five years in states prison pending a
motion fer a new trial, to be argued in the
near future. Perkins first trial was had

tered the bank of Ellicottsville and blew
open the fire-proof vault. The outside
door was blown off and the safe wa turn
ed on its face. This is supposed to have
been done by the force of the conclusion
and is undoubtedly what saved the money,
which is supposed to be intact. though the
safe can not be gotten into yet. A large
amount of jewelry in the outside vault
was taken. There is yet no clue to the
burglars.

UNCLE sAM's CLOCKS.
What Tt Costs the Government to Wind
and Set Its Clocks.

It costs Uncle Sam thousands of dollars
a year to have his clocks wound. Every
Monday morning you see men going about
the departments carrying little ladders
like those used by the lamp-lighters. Their
business is to wind and keep in order the
clocks In the departments. Each man has
his own department or a section of the de-
partment to look after the clocks and this
is his sole business. In some places men
are employed by the month for this pur-
pose while In other cases the contract is let
by the month or year to some enterprising
clock repairer, who sends a ''journeyman"
around to wind the clocks and see whether
they are In order and then goes himself to
make such repairs as are necessary. The
cost of winding and caring for the clocks
in the departments runs at the rate of SIS
to 500 a month In each department.
There are in the Treasury Department
nearly 400 clocks. Some of these are ex-
pensive ones and cost away up in the hum
dreds of dollars. though the average value
of department clocks is not more than per-
haps SIS or $50 apiece. A good many of
the clocks in the halls of the public build
ings and also those in the rooms occupied
by the heads of the departments are very
valuable, costing away up in the hun
dreds.

Did you ever wonder why that little
V-shaped nick was placed at the juncture
of your coat collar with the lapel? | sup
pose you have. Occasionally we all have
our little Eliminating spells, and fall to
wondering the ways fthe many odd things
we see about us. Hold your coat up be-
fore you, and you will see at a glance that
it would ''set' just as well without the
nick as with it. Therefore the matter of
tit cannot be given as a proper solution of
the fact that tits there. Without appar-
cnt purpose this nick is clipped from the
lapel of every frock coat worn in the world.
But there was motive in the madness of
the first man who adopted the little in
sigma of distinction. | will tell you about
it. When the first Napoleon gave way to
his ambition he tried to implicate Gen.
Moreau In Pichegru's conspiracy.
Moreau had been Napoleon's
superior and was very popular,
but under the circumstances as Napoleon
was on top it was not safe to express pub
licly any sympathy with Moreau; so his
admirers secretly agreed to nick their coat
lapels to show who they were. Carefully
note the outlines of the first coat-front that
you see that it is well fitted and buttoned,
amp see if you cannot plainly detect the
initial letter NJ in its w~indings. The M
will appear upside down. the little hicks
form its sides. NJ was the initial letter of
Moreau, and his champions were known
by the hicks in the lapels of their coats.

DOODLE" AT JEFFERSON CITY.
Missouri Legislators Charged With Selling
Their Votes for Cash


ST. LOUISA morning paper prints under
flaming headlines a fye-column expose of
alleged legislative corruption at Jefferson
City, Mo. 1t claims that the livestock
inspection bill, introduced by the st.
Louis Butchers union in the last legisla-
ture, was defeated by the absolute purchase
of state senators. 1t is admitted by the
butchers that $4,000 was raised to be ex-
pended In support of the bill, but that the
money was to be used In the ''boodling" of
Legislators is denied. It is claimed, how
ever, that Legislators sold out to the
butchers and then increased their infamy
by DESERVING their employers when the
vote came on; that they met the agents
of the dressed-beef monopoly and in bogus
games of poker pretended to win what was
really a bride for their votes; that they
openly negotiated for senatorial votes and
disclosed that they were ready to vote
for whichever side would pay them the
most; that one senator offered to guaran-
tee the vote of three senators for the bill
If given 81 900 for the trio; but he asked
too much and the votes were cast for the
dressed-beef men.
It is further claimed that the dressed-beef
combine" distributed S25 900 In ''bood-
ling and that the money was handled by
two young men from Kansas City; that
members of the house of representatives
received money and voted accordingly, but
some senators received it and voted the
other way. Finally the bold charge is
made that ''the dressed-beef monopoly
secured the defeat of the bill by spreading
more money than the butchers had, and
spent it on the senators who voted against
the measure"
The paper prints a number Of interviews
with men who were interested in the pas
sage of the bill, and all of whom admit
that money was used, and many of whom
assert that they were notified just how
much money the dressed-beef combine"
proposed to use in defeating the measure,
and the amount was five times as much as
the butchers could raise. Three of the
state senators whose names are
mixed up in the affair denied that there
was any foundation for the story. The
result of the expose will doubtless be an
investigation, and sensational develop
ments are looked for.
