The Man in the Moon.

The German legend says that ages
ago an old man went ON Sunday
morning into the forest to hew sticks.
He cut a bundle of fagots and slung
them over his shoulder, and began to
trudge home with his burden. On his
way home he met a remarkable look
ing individual, with face bright as
the sun.
DO you know, old man, that it is
Sunday on earth, when all men rest
from their labors2' said the stranger.
Sunday ON earth or Monday in
heaven, it is all the same to me-" said
the hardened old wretch.
Then bear your bundle forever,
said the stranger, as he vanished from
the old mans sight. A moment later
the old sinner and his fagots were de-
posted on the moon, where they stand
to this day, warning to all Sabbath
breakers.
In England, Scotland, France, and
some parts of the United States the
lines and spots on the moons face are
thought to be fair representations of a
man and blazing brush heap. Ori-
entail countries quite naturally take
the figure to be that of lion.
Bishop Wilkins tells many odd sto-
ries concerning beliefsabout 'the man
in the moon,n and concludes that it is
the boy, Endymoin, whom Luna
loved SO well. Quite poetic, indeed,
and worthy as much credit as any of
the other absurd notions. -John w.
Wright IN St Louis Republic.

During the reign of the James bows
IN Missouri it was observed that the
trains of the Hannibal and st. Joe
were never molested by the James
boys or their banditti. Trains on
every other road near Kearney or
Kansas City were periodically robbed.
The st. Joe road seemed to be in
variably protected from their visits,
says The Denver News. 1t was all due
to an annual pass. One day while in
the Office OF the general superintend-
ent of the road at Hannibal a News
reporter saw list of persons to whom
annual passes were issued Among the
number was the name of Mrs. Sam
uels, of Kearney, Mo. This station is
primitive settlement of houses that
resemble matchboxes whitewashed.
The place is known in history, how
ever, as the home of Jessie and Frank
James, the famous outlaws.
How is that2'' was asked of the
superintendent in astonishment, when
it was recalled that Mrs. Samuels was
none other than the one: armed step
mother of the noted train robbers.
My dear boy" responded the rail-
road official with a suave smile and an
exuberant twirl of his massive watch
chain, that annual pass saves the St.
Joe road thousands of dollars andour
trains, as you know, are never molest-
ed by the James boys. We have car
ried her for years and will continue
to do so as long as we turn a wheel.
She has the only life pass on the
road"
Not long afterward, when Frank
James was pardoned and walked
around Kansas City in the last stages
of consumption, he was asked about
the little incident and responded feel
ingly:
I'VE never boarded st. Joe train
just on that account. The kindness
shown our crippled mother and the
refusal of the road to run a special
train of Pinkerton men to surprise us
touched the hearts of both Jessie and
myself. That is why we never both
cred that road"

The LITTLE SOLDIER.

~
When Tn big I'll be a soldier,
That's what viii be;
Fight for father, fight for mother.
Over land and scar
And before him on the table *
Stood In bright array
An his little wooden soldiers,
Ready for the fray
Then he charged his little cannon,
Singing out with glee,
When I'm big I'll be'a soldier,
That's what WIN bel''
By the freight sat the mother,
Tears were In her heart,
Thinking OF the swift time coming
When they two must part
Soon the shadow fell between them.
Soon the years few by;
He has left his little mother,
Left her-perhaps TO die.
All the laughter gone forever,
All the sunshine fed,
Only little mother praying
BY his empty bed
Then there came dreadful battle,
And upon the plain
Crept the little mother seeking
Some enc mid the slain
But she never found her darling
In the white moon gleam.
For the little cannon firing
Woke her from her dream
All dreaml He stood beside her,
Singing out with glee.
when I'm big I'll be soldier.
That's what will ber' Temple Bar.

& Yesterday was indeed a red-lettcr day
in the history of Buena Vista. Tho
town was full of visitors, and Twenty
4 first street was throngcd with surrics.
Many of the real estate firms found it
necessary to increase their working
force. Tho occasion of so much COM
motion was the auction sale of lots by
the West Buena Vista Company, whose
property lies along the west bank of
North River, Immediately opposite
Buena Vista.
There were 1914 lots sold. and the ag-
gregate price received was about $50

over SO per cent. more than the lots
were listed by the company. One lot
sold for S1,5O0 The auctioncer, Mr..
Valentine. of Lynchburg, is unques-
tionably without superior. In addi-
s in Buena Vista amounted to Sl50.O00,
and for the week just ended moro than
100000.
c. NJ. Clark, of Philadelphia, accom-
panied by the engineer of the steel
plant, has been here this week laying
off the site for the buildings necessary
for this large industry. and we arc in
formed that work will be begun without
unnecessary delay.
1t is very gratifying to those inter
ested in Buena Vista to hear the express
.sions of opinion from the strangers who
visit us. They all agree that the half
has not been told them. and to those
who are disposed to doubt, VIC say come

ENGLISH CAPITALISTS.
They Want Big Fish, But They Are Not
Angling for Small Fry.

They Want Big Fish, But They Are Not
Angling for Small Fry.
The much talked about syndicate of
English capitalists has an agency in this
city in the firm of John NJ. Oakley &
Co., brokers, 45 Sixth street. A DISPATCH
reporter inquired of Mr.. Oakley yesterday
if they were getting much business OF this
nature. He replied: "We are getting
more than we want, such as it is, but not
enough of the kind the English people will
look at. There is no mystery about this
thing; II is simply a matter Of investment
on sound business principles. They have
great confidence in the future Of American
manufactures and want to invest their
money in such concerns as can show profit
during the past of II per cent or more; on
such purchases they issue shares and dis
pose of them in the London market.
Naturally enough, the corporations making
such profits are not hunting buyers, and the
New York branch is daily pushing us to
secure options
"The New York branch has Just COM
pleted large deal in the Trenton, N. j.,
potteries; also combination OF type foun-
dries and furnaces, and they hint at the COM
pletion of the largest deal yet made in the
States. We have had innumerable offers from
many small affairs, but the syndicate will
pay no attention to anything less than
S16O, ,oOO."
"What class of business do they prefer?''
"They will take anything that looks like
paving fat dividends. We sent them q sill
yer mine last week, which we believe will
pass inspection"
