He Recovered His watch.

| A. P. Burbank, of Richmond, Ind,
| formerly governor of Dakota territory and
brcther-in-law Of Oliver p Morton, ex-
hibits gold watch to friends, a reminder
of Jesse and Frank James road agent
days.
He was one of a party of health and
pleasure seekers travelling through Texas
and Arkansas some years ago. In crossing
a portion of the western wilds two open
hacks and a carriage were used. Just as
they reached secluded spot Oh the route
they were pounced upon by Jesse James
and his gang. All were invited to 'alight
and line up" by Jesse himself, who, with
two others, sat upon their horses. Jesse's
reputation as a bad man had gone before
him, and the health seekers were not long
in Obeying his command. Mr.. Burbank
was relieved of a valuable diamond, sum
Of money and his watch and chain.
After all valuables were collected Jesse
called out, ''Isthere man here who fought
for the Confederacy?"
One man responded that he had been
Confederate soldier, whereupon all that
had been taken from him was returned. a
preacher in the party made his profession
known, and to him were returned his pos
sessions. Jesse here Strengthened up and
remarked:
eve are gentlemen, and do not care to
rob defenceless women, and those who
fought the abolitionists, or ministers of the
gospel"
Six years later he was killed by Ford. A
number of watches were recovered, among
which was this.-Cor. Chicago Herald

Croft. How did she know it? The
prince told her. Never mind why, nor
why she was not made party to the
suit. Lady Brooke is the daughter of
Hon. Colonel Maynard, and her beauty
took London by storm in 1879. She
soon married Lord Brooke, oldest son
and heir of the Earl of Warwick, and
though there has been much gossip about
her friendship with the prince, she has
held her position in society.
Sir William Gordon Cumming is a
scion of the oldest nobility, a descendant
of that De Comyn who fought by the
side of Malcolm LII when he fell at
Alnwick, A d. 1893, as well as of the
Stuarts and King Robert Bruce.
Mr.. Arthur Wilson, of Tranby Croft,
near Doncaster, Yorkshire, is a self
made millionaire and part owner OF
large feet of vessels. His wife is a
daughter of the former postmaster of
Leeds. Mr.. Lycett Green is MIR. VIII
sons son-in-law.
Lord Coleridge, chief Justice, and pre-
siding justice in this case, is well known
on both sides of the water. Sir Charles
Russell, who acted as counsel for the de-
tense, is an able lawyer. General Owen
Williams and Lord Coventry, who have
been mixed up in the matter, are i'm
portant in England's aristocratic circles,
but are of no account in the eye of the
outside world.

Wheat in America.

Prior to the discovery of this continent
by Columbus there was no cereal in Ameri-
ca, either north or south, which ap-
preached in nature to the wheat plant. 1t
was not until 1870 that it found its way
into Mexico. 1t may be difficult to realize
the fact that wheat was at one time wholly
unknown in such an immense country and
one so favorable to its production, but
such was the case. It was in 1870 that
poor slave belonging to Cortez found few
grains of wheat i'll a parcel of rice; he
showed them TO his master, who ordered
them to be planted. The result showed
that wheat would thrive well on Mexican
soil, and today one of the finest wheat val
leys in the world is near the Mexican capt.
tai.
From Mexico the cereal found its way to
Peru. Marie D'Escobar. wife of Don Diego
de Chauves, carried few grains to Lima,
the entire product for several successive
years being used for seed. AtQuito, Ecua-
dor, a monk of the order of St. Francis.
named Fra Jodoai Bixi, introduced the
new bread grain, and it is said that the jar
in which the piOus man kept the original
seed is still preserved at Quito. Wheat
was introduced into the present limits of
the United States contemporaneously with
the settlement of the country by the En-.
glish and other Europeans.-St. Louis Re

SIR JOHN MACDONALD.

G. B., D. G. L., LII. D., the first
two being knightly and the last two
scholarly titles. He was born in Glas-
gov, Scotland, June II, 1915, his father,
Hugh Macdonald, being an untitled gen.
tleman of the highland Macdonalds of
Sutherlandshire. When the boy was
five years old his parents moved to
Kingston, Ontario, where he received a
liberal education and was admitted to
the bar at the age of twenty-one.
A year later came the socalled rebel
lion Of 1887, and in defending various
alleged rebels Mr.. Macdonald reached
the first place at the bar, distinction he
continued to hold as long as he practiced.
In 1S41 he entered politics as a Tory,
now politely called Conservative, and
remained in that faith to the last with
out wavering. In 1874, and for many
years thereafter, he represented Kingston
in the Canadian parliament, Canada in
a political sense then meaning only Que
bee and Ontario, or Lower and Upper
Canada, but from the start he was an
earnest advocate Of the federation of all
the colonies. In May, 1847, he was ap-
pointed receiver general; late that year
he became commissioner Of crown lands,
and thereafter was always in Office when
his party was in power.
On the LIST of July, 1857, the British
parliament passed the British North
American act for the confederation of
Canada, Mr.. Macdonald being then
chairman of the colonial conference in
London and the prime mover in the
work. He was promptly sworn in by
the English privy council and charged
with the duty of organizing the govern
ment of Canada, receiving also the honor
of knighthood (K. G. b., and being
thenceforth known as Sir John. He was
at the head Of the Dominion government
till 1878, the year of scandals" in Can
ada as well as the United States. 1t
was charged-ard his enemies thought
it proved-that Sir John had received
100000 from Sir Hugh Allan and Chi
cago banker named Smith on the under
that the Dominion government
would grant monopoly to the Canadian
Pacific. Although beaten for the time,
he came in again in 1878 on the protec-
ton policy and remained in power till
his death. Only one OF his titles-the
u. {. B.-descends to his son.

Prolific and Cannibalistic Hens.

Stories about enterprising hens are
now in order, but it is curious that two
of the most remarkable should originate
at Bridgeport, Conn. One relates with
all the soberness of truthful detail that
twin chickens have been Matched from a
double yolked egg. The other charges a
greater crime against the hens of the
city by the sound. a farmer. name not
given, says regarding hens that eat their
own eggs: 81 have never seen anything
like it. The perverted appetite, disease,
or whatever you may call it, seems to
have come upon the fowls all of sud-
den, and as soon as hen deposits an
egg she eagerly devours it What we
shall do if the hens do not stop this prac-
tice before long Go not know, as we
are now hardly able to secure enough
eggs for our own use. 1t is now the
time of year when the hens are most
productive in laying, and should the
misguided fowls continue their practice
there will be a dearth of eggs In the
market.

She did not seem to think about herself,

In due time the prince was informed
and the result was that Gordon-Cum-

was to screen the Prince of Wales from

been kept secret, but this part of the
bargain was broken Gordon Cummings

Especial interest was cited during
the trial by the presence of the prince,
who was witness, IT every session
from beginning to end; by the statement
that baccarat was played at the Wilson
house against the knowledge and con-
sent of the host, simply to please the
prince, and with leather chips b. rging

THE EARTH STAR N DRY WEATHER.
Since the earth stars are leafless and des-

age, they belong to the great group of
&fungi, which includes mushrooms, puff
3balls, molds and innumerable microscopic
sorts All plants from which this coloring

What we see above ground, however, is
not the whole Of the plant, but only the

The first sign of the fruit is an egg

But all these things were forgotten
when Sir Edward Clarke, counsel for
GordonC Cumming, made his closing ad-
dress to the jury. His remarks were al
most in the nature of an attack upon his
highness and showed that one man in
England, at least, believes that royalty
Is made of common clay and not to be
shielded if such protection is likely to
work wrong to others. In effect he said
just this when he declared that if Cor
don Cumming must suffer for playing
baccarat then Field Marshal the Prince
of Wales must also-if the name of one
was TO be stricken from the army rolls,
then the name of the other must go too.
Sir Edward Clarkes action, though
thoroughly commendable, and indeed
the only course that could be pursued by
a self respecting man in the eyes of an
American citizen, evidences the posses
sion of great nerve on his part, and is
