ADOPTED

Mr.. Snead, while preferring a strnGh
primary, remarked that he deemed 1t in
iudicious at the time for any Democratic
club to in any way dictate to the COM
mittee what 1t should do.
Mr.. Burke offered as an amendment
that while the club did not approve the
plan adopted by the City Central Com
mittee, It deemed It ineXpedient to request
or instruct It as TO what steps 1t should
pursue in the premises. This was lost
and MIR. Boykin's resolution agreed 10.
After the transaction OF some unim-
portant business the club adjourned.

Two women, mother and her little
daughter, were one night watching their
field of Indian corn-"makai'- against
the inroads of the bears. The mother
had to go to her house to prepare the
food and ordered her daughter to light a
fire outside. While she was doing this
a bear came and took her away. He car
ried her to his den and daily brought her
to eat and drink. He rolled big stone
in front of the den whenever he went
away on his tours, which the girl was
not strong enough to move.
When she became old enough to dc
this, he used daily to lick her feet, by
which they became swollen and gradu.
ally dwindled down to mere misshapen
stumps. The girl eventually died, and
the poor bear, after vain efforts to re,
store her to life, roamed disconsolately
about the fields.-Dr Leitner in AsiatiC
Quarterly.

why Not?

Apropos of Marion Crawford's remark
about our mustached buffers, that they
amused him after the shorn ones of Eng
land, why won't somebody say that our
butlers-our American butlers-wear
mustaches, and we, when abroad, find
it amusing to see the English buffers
smooth shaven, and wonder why their
masters do not insist that their mouths
be covered. Will the time ever come
when we will dare to be Americans?
There are great lessons to be learned
from the older nations of the world,
great models to be studied and wisdom
to be got from the experience which is
the accretion of centuries, concerning
which the taste of one cultivated com
munity is as good as that of any other.

A Book Brought Down From Heaven

According to Mohammedan belief, the
first copy of the Koran, or Alkoran,
their sacred book, was brought down
from the highest to the lowest heaven
by Gabriel on the mysterious night Of
Al Khade in the month of Ramadan.
This wonderful book, written in heaven
and bound in satin, jewels and gold, was
communicated to Mohammed at differ
ent times during period of % years.
This was done, according to Moham-
medan belief, either by Gabriel in hui
man shape or by God himself. When
Gabriel acted as translator and commu-
nicator, he did so with great sound of
music and bells" God appeared either
yelled or unveiled during Mohammeds
waking hours or during dreams at
