Original Idea of a Joke to be Played on
Doting Papa
The way in which Miss Grace Cunning
ham outwitted her papa set the whole town
of Middleboro, Mass, talking.
Mr.. Cunningham came to MiddlebOro with
his family from New Jersey short time
ago.
Grace is a gay young thing-a paster In
the paper-bag factory at the Centre-and she
was very DESTROYS of making pilgrimage
back to Jersey to greet her old friends and
tell them all about the wonders OF life In
rural Yankeeland.
But Papa Cunningham said her nay.
He wouldn't hear of such thing as his
little Grace travelling all the way back to
Jersey alone, and besides ne didn't like to
trust his pet alone among the young Jersey
men.
Rnt Miss Grace was determined, and one
day little more than a week ago the Gun
ningham family circle was thrown into
feyerish excitement by the discovery that
the flower of the family, the fathers PRIDE,
Grace, the seventeen-year-old daughter, had
departed. :.

Jersey to have a good time, ana that IL
would be of no possible use for him to FOL

to be found. -, ,,a
Papa Cunningham was wild. He berated
the daughter and every body else. and ended
by berating himself for sending her away,
by his refusing TO allow her to go peace
fully, and now she had gone unprotected
and alone to get into all manner of mis-
chief.
He started for the Fall River boat. and
went ON TO Jersey. close behind the fleeing
Grace.
He stayed away about a week. searching.
but all in vain, for the young daughter who
had eiuded him so neatly.
Then he returned home, discouraged and
sorrowfnl.
Then came the denouement.
Soon after paterfamilias reached the old
farm-h house Miss Grace appeared before him,
in disgrace, although she would not admit
the latter.

AN ANCIENT RACE.
Remnants Of q People who FlOlriShed Ten
Thousand Years AGO.

The Guanches, the inhabitants Of the
Canary Islands, are said TO be the remnants
Of the ancient race who 10000 years ago
peopled the drowned continent of Atlantis.
They are reported to have been strong and
handsome. of remarkable courage and of a
loyal disposition; but they showed the cred
ulity of children and the simple directness
Of shepherds. SO tall were they that the
Spaniards speak of them as giants, and
their strength and endurance were so great
that they were conquered by stratagem. but
not by force. They ran as fast as horses,
and could leap over a pole held between
two men five or six feet high; they could
climb the highest mounta ms and jump the
deepest ravines.
Their endurance as swimmers was so
great that they were accustomed to swim
across he nlne-mile strait between the
Lancerote and Graciosa. Having no boats
their method of fishing was to strike the fish
with sticks or catch them in their hands
while swimming. The skulls. which are
preserved in the museums OF the island
sho wed marked cerebral development, the
from tai and parietal bones being well de-
veloped, and the facial angle good In the
early days of the conquest, before rapine
and murder had done their vile work, the
Guanches are spoken of as being musical
and fond of dancing and singing. These
arts, together with those of basket weaving
and pottery making, were few relics of a
great and remote civilization, and were pre-
served in the same way as, If Europe was
submerged, shepherds of the TyrOl, the Alps
and the Pyrenees would preserve the ma
tiona airs and village dances Of their re-
spective countries.
The GuaDches were, it is supposed, but
the mountain shepherds of a submerged
world. Though so strong physically, the
Guanches were, nevertheless, a very gentle
race; they rarely made war on one another,
and when the Europeans fell into their
hands they did not kill them, but sent them
to tend sheep in the mountains. So tame
were the birds in this happy land that when
the Spaniards first landed they came and
fed out of their hands To kill an animal
degraded man; the butcher was a re-
prieved criminal and outcast, and lived
apart, he and his assistants being supported
by the State. No woman was allowed TO
approach the shameless and in such horror
was killing held by these giants that no man
could be ennobled until he had publicly de-
clared that he had not been guilty of killing
any animal, not even goat Their standard
of morality was high; robbery was almost
unknown among them, and drunkenness
not yet invented. -Star-Sayings.

The gllded youth took his prescription and

CLEAN of terror in his slightly fishy eye.
1--WE have to do it sometimes" remarked
the prominent physician as the door slammed
behind his patient, ''for we have many in
subordinate patients who will not follow
our orders and instructions. Argument is
wasted on them, and we finally have to
brighten them into obedience. The young
man who just left was an example. I've
been treating him for lung trouble for a
month, and during that time he has done
the exact reverse Of everything l told him
to do. It's impossible to cure people who
act that way, and when their health fails TO
return both the patient and the patients

that young man is concerned I'll wager that
his life for the next month will discount a

half century ago Fifty four Forty OF

coming controversy begins at that lins
from which President Polk retreated, the
once northern boundary of Oregon Ter
ritory being the southern boundary OF
our territory of Alaska. The discussion of

Portland Canal, will rival the contest

Each year that the boundary line be-
tween Alaska and British Columbia re-
mains in question increases the difficulty
of determining it. Each year settle
ments are increasing in numbers. More
private interests are involved, and the
region in dispute becomes more valuable
to each claimant. There is great in-
difference to the question on our side on
the line, but in the Dominion it is well
understood and parliament and public
opinion have taken their stand. Cana
dian maps now differ from the United
States maps of that northwestern region,
and the boundary question promises to
provoke more international bitterness
than the present Bering Sea dispute
