AN ESSAY ON COLUMBUS.
A Boys Unique Version of the Great Dis.
cOVery,

cOvery'
Columbus was great man and is
known even now for miles around, al
though it is four hundred years since
he immigrated and discovered the
United States. He was very fond of
finding out things, and the roundness
of the earth like an orange or ball is
due to him. He also made an egg sit
up which is harder, my mother says,
thun making boys do the same In church
like me. wish my father was more
like Columbuss must have been, for
when tried TO make an egg stand up
on end he told me to stop right away or
I'll send you to bed. Who knows what
country | might discover if my parents
lid not discourage me right in the be-
ginning, Just as am ready to startou
and begin to commence?
Columbus didn't have q much easier
time than l do though. Everybody
thought he was crazy, and several
times he was incarcerated behind
prison bars for various things, and once
he came before large number of peo-
pie in chains.
He fell in with King Ferdinand and
Isabella, who gave him enough to pay
his fare over to the United States, which
he went to- though it was slow work,
and some of the sailors said let's go
back, but he wouldn't which was good
for us, for if he had have where would
we be living now? In Turkey maybe,
where the people amt Christians, but
Mausoleums. and are ruled by sultans,
who, get elected because their fathers
have just died and are thrashed every
fifty years by the aristocrat of all the
Russians which would be terrible.
Columbus was nearly three months
crossing the ocean in three boats. He
set sail August 3, 1902, at 8 o'clock in
the morning, and the cyclopedia says
the first thing he did was to weigh his
anchor, though it never says why.
Then he sailed right ahead for three
days, when he broke his rudder and
had to go to Africa to have it fixed,
which delayed him some and the crew
got mutinous, which he Immediately
put stop to and set out again, this
time keeping it up until he got to
America, where he planted his flags
and said: 'Oh, never mind about that"
to the mutinous sailors, who said they
were sorry they had been mutinous.
Then he kissed the beach and told
the proprietor it belonged to King Fer
dinand and Isabella, but the proprietor
never murmured. Then he went back
to see King Ferdinand and Isabella,
who made him round shouldered with
honors and riches, which Columbus
liked so much that he started out again
and discovered America several times
more before he died, but it got monot-
onous to people after awhile, and for
time Columbus ceased to be great
man, even King Ferdinand and Isabella
going back on him. He died in 1906
and had several fine funerals. ohnny,

JOURNEY OF AN ODD KNIFE,
1t Travels Many Miles and Does Its Duty
Well,


Well.
To cleanse one of the long pipes that
carries crude petroleum from the well
Of western Pennsylvania to the refn-
cries in this city, an odd appearing in
strument has just concluded its long
Journey hither underground.
AS the oil flows through these under
ground conduits the paraffine in the
fluid is separated, and this residuum
encrusts the sides of the pipes and
proves serious hindrance to the free
passage of the current of oil.
The device that is used to remedy
this evil is knife about two feet in
length with sharp edge that is con-
structed exactly like the thread of a
screw. Indeed, the knife itself re-
sembles a huge headless screw more
than anything else; it is always slight
ly smaller in diameter than the pipe il
passes through.
When the thickness of the crust OF
parafne renders cleansing necessary,
this instrument is inserted in the first
link OF the huge IRON chain far OFF in
the oil fields. 1t receives it's motive
power from the stream of petroleum,
which it accompanies all the way to
Philadelphia, revolving rapidly as il
hurries along, and scraping the chan
nels clean from every particle of para
fine.
1t turns and twists and cleanses in
this manner throughout it's whole
ong journey, finally dropping from the
pipes in the midst of the vast stream Of
petroleum that empties continuously
into the receiving tanks at Philadel
phia. Its edges, so be sure, are dullel
than when it set out upon its expedi
ton, but otherwise its condition is per
feet. 1t is Immediately shipped bach
to the fields, when it is sharpenet
again aud laid away until future para
fine accumulations require once more
its valuable services --Philadelphi;

THE RIGHT TO THINK.


We cannot always speak our minds, for there
arc moments when
u would not do for us to tell our inmost
thoughts to men
Nor would VIC dare to write them down In ever
lasting ink,
But this we know let como what rlhy we have
right to think.
When VIC arc walking on the street-as We have
done, alack
And step on banana peel and land upon our
back,
Then as we brush our clothes and watch tho
people grin and blink,
We can't say what we would, but ali VIC have
right to think.
While sitting In the street car where are ladies'
fair and sweet,
The fat man comes along and tramps our corns
with both his feet,
And as we grit our teeth and see the other peo-
pie wink,
We feel how thankful we should be VIC have q
right to think
For years we spent our hard-earned cash to buy
q girl ice cream,
Until at length she speaks the words that shat
ter loves young dream
"I'll be your sister'-'tis enough to drive man
10 drink
We cannot speak our feelings, but we go away
and think.
When husbands at the thcater together slyly
plan
Each time an act is finished to go out ITO see q
man."
And as they reach their seats again exchange q
knowing wink,
Their wives can't tell It's meaning, but they
have right to think,
And likewise when they're at the play men see
before their eyes
woman's hat that towers pretty nearly to tho
skies,
They might say things about that hat to make
II wilt and shrink,
And yet they don't, they only sit and think and
think and think

james Whitcomb Riley was in his

poses and utterances of an aged ac-
quaintance instead of trusting to mere
imagination.

fore he had lost his leg in a railroad &C.
cident, and the limb had been replaced
by cork substitute, useful for ordinary
purposes, but preventing him from fol-
lowing game, except in boat. On
this occasion, as he was an expert
marksman, he had almost loaded the
skiff with ducks. when, in reaching
after a particularly fine bird, he
overreached and upset the boat.
Down went the birds, the gun and the
hunter, and, there being a swift cur
rent at that point, the boat drifted away
before he came to the surface. Being
unable to swim, the hunter clutched
wildly for a support, but found none,
and would certainly have been drowned
had it not been for his cork leg. Itkept
him ahoat, and at first he was over

The cork leg had a tendency to invert
him in the water, and, after struggling
against this for some time, he managed
to unstrap the limb and use it as @

Undesirable Possibilities for Women.


The advancement of women and
their admission to various avenues of
industry has other undesirable posi-
bilities besides that of standing up in
the cars. A London business man,
who made over his business to his wife,
finally became so poor as to seek adj
mission to the almshouse, whereupon
the authorities decided that the wife
must pay weekly sum for his sup-
port. 1t was clearly proven that he
had been unfaithful and cruel to her;
that she had built up the business from
worse than nothing; that the judges
had granted her divorce on just
grounds; but in spite of all this she
was obliged to support the man she
had married. If along with their equal
rights the women ere compelled to
support unworthy husbands from the
results of their toll they may sigh for
the good old days when the law that
compelled man to support his wife
divorced the wife if the husband did
not support her. Chicago Tribune.
