came frightened while on the road be-

buggy, dragging Falkner off his seat to
the ground. The horses dragged the
buggy for several hundred yards, with
Miss Dolan still in the seat, before they
became detached from the vehicle. The
horses ran another mile before they
were caught. Happily the broken pole
was about the extent of the damage.

knew him for gentleman
BY signs that never fall
His coat was rough and rather worn,
His cheeks were thin and pale
A lad who had his way to make,
with little time for play
knew him for gentleman
BY certain signs to-day.
He met his mother on the street;
OFF came his little cap.
My door was shut; he waited there
Until heard the rap.
He took the bundle from my hand,
And when dropped my pen,
He sprang to pick 1t up for me,
This gentleman of ten.
lie does not push and crowd along;
His voice is gently pitched
He does not fling his books about
AS IL he was bewitched.
He stands aside to let you pass
He always shuts the door;
He runs on errands willingly
To forge and mill and store.
He thinks of you before himself;
He serves you If he can;
For in whatsoever company
The manners make the man
At ten or forty it's the same,
The manner tells the tale;
And discern the gentleman
BY signs that never fail.

The cresssn, a. an Emblem.

The crescent has been known since
time out of memory. In ancient mythol.
ogy it decorated the foreheads of Diana
and of Astarte, the Syrian Venice. In
the days of Rome's greatest glory the
ladies wore it as an ornament in theii
hair. Since the foundation of Constan.
tinople (the ancient Byzantium) it has
been the emblem of the city, and as such
adorns its walls and public buildings,
besides being stamped on its coins and
postage. The legend which accounts
for its universal adoption in Turkey, and
Constantinople in particular, is as fol.
lows:
Philip of Macedon laid siege to the
city in the year $40 B. c. He chose a
night of unusual darkness for the pro
posed assault, but was foiled by the
moon suddenly breaking from behind .
cloud. In commemoration of this prov.
idential deliverance the crescent was
adopted as the symbol of the city. The
Mohammedan sultans were slow to as
sumo this emblem until some one men.
toned that it was the symbol Of increas.
ing greatness, power changing as rapid.

building snperstitions.

In remote times a sacrifice of some
kind was always offered at the compile
ton of building, either public or
private. Sacrifices were not only offered
at the completion of structures of all
kinds--the foundations themselves were
usually laid in blood, whether the
structure was a castle, bridge. cottage or
church. Originally-tracing the sub
ject back to heathenish times-the
sacrifice was offered to the god under
whose protection the building was
placed; in Christian times the bloody
rite was retained, but was given another
Specification. In those days it was gem
orally believed that no edifice would
stand unless the corner stone was laid in
mortar mixed with blood. Usually the
blood was obtained by sacrificing dog
a pig, wolf, black cock or a goat,
and not unfrequently some inalefactor's
blood was poured out to make the cere-
mony more impressive. Louis Re-

A rich man holds his wealth simply as

great many years has led me to have q

the good of the man himself that he
should look at the subject from this

corwin Lost Their Votes.

Tom Corwin was not only very elo-
quent man, but he was the most re.
nowned wit and humorist of his party
just as the late SamuefSullivan Cox was
of his party at later day. Corwin's
sense of humor sometimes got him into
difficulty, and on at least one occasion
lost him votes. He was ON campaign
tour, and had stopped for the night al
the house Of wealthy farmer, whose
wife was as eager to display her boob
learning as her hospitality.
These efforts took the form Of big, un-
usual words, which sometimes had lu.
dicrous Malapropian flavor. She pre-
pared a most excellent and elaborate
breakfast for the distinguished orator
and his party, and then seated herself at
the head of the table to do the honors.
She poured out cup of coffee, and then
with gracious smile, turned to the
orator and asked:
''Mr. Corwin, do you take concomit-
ants in your coffeey.
"Thank you madame, replied Corwin
grayely. 81 will take little sugar AMI
cream, but neither salt nor pepper"
He didn't get a vote in that family,
and scarcely one in the precinct, though
both family and precinct were usually
