ONLY SAlViNI KNEW 1T,
No American on Board Could Recit
THE Star Spangled Banner"

No American on Board Could Recits
THE Star SpangIed Banner"
The lack Of knowledge on the part of
the average American Of patriotic liter
allure and national lyrics is aptly illus
trated by a story told by Senator
George Handy Smith at a social session
in Harrisburg one day recently, a
Philadelphia Record man being pres
ent. Senator Smith had as his guest on
the occasion the well-known actor,
Alexander Salvini, who was visiting
the state capital and who was the hero
of the story. when l came over from
my annual trip TO Europe last summer
] made the journey across the ocean in
the steamer New York." said the sena-
tor. "AIr. Salvini was one of the passen-
gers. During the voyage an entertain
ment for the benefit of the Seamen's
home was arranged, and every body vol
uDteered TO take part in it The people
who managed the affair wanted some
one to recite The Star Spangled Ban
uer,' but came 10 the conclusion to
strike it off the programme, when, after
thorough search among the American
passengers, not single one could be
found who knew the words of the
famous song. Mr.. Saivini learned of
the difficulty, and, to the surprise of
everybody on board. told them he
would fill that part of the bill. He re-
cited the poem with great effect and
knew every word of it. He had learned
IL, he said. as soon as he was able TO
speak the English language.

THE CHILLY MAN.
Type of Humanity of Which ths Winter
Season Is Prolific.

season Is ProlIfiC-
There are few sets of people that
have not in their circle of acouaint-
ances chilly man" Everybody knows
him because this weather brings him
out at his best. which is the worst for
his friends. He is usually a STOPPING
young man of uncertain age, with a
long neck and a nose that is more sem
sitive 70 cold wave than the most ex-
pert of weather prophets. He looks a
weakling, but his one fad is to pose as
man of iron constitution. His over
coat is of the scantiest. He disdains to
wear a muller, and his long neck takes
on leaden hue as the breezes whistle
around him.
When you meet him he looks so cold
that you ask him in alarm why he is
not wrapped up. ''Oh. don't feel the
weather" he replies and relapses into
shiver that chills the marrow of on
lockers You speak with him a cor
ner and in a minute or two ne has be-
come almost blue and there is a pa
thetic look in his watery eve. He looks
so broken up that your first impulse is
TO give him a hearty smack on the back
to warm and liven him up, but YOU
hesitate, for he looks as if he would
break like the brittle icicle ne resem-
bles. His friends pity him, but do not
like to suggest he should buy an over
coat, and so he goes on his lev way.
There was once such a man who died.
not Of cold, because these chilly men
somehow never do die of frigiditv.
This one pinned away for want
of sleep. 1t was just such winter as
this and he was in his glory, his
teeth chattering away with noise SIM
liar to riclSety old engine under high
pressure. He looked and sounded as IL
he would go TO pieces all at once. but
he held together. Then in the long
nights his teeth ratified so and his shiv-
ering frame made the bed crealx until
the noise woke him up just as he dozed
oft The more ''zeroic" the weather,
the more he ratified, and he refused 10
have fire in his bedroom at night, as
1t was unhealthy, he said. He did not
require an extra blanket. as he like all
the tribel did not feel it cold So he
ratified away until the very house shook
at nights and eventually he died of his
own row.
Every chilly man is not so extreme
as this one. but in their varying degrees
they are annoying to all who know
them. One avoids them on the street
and if invited out they are as cheerful
as a coffin. But still these fellows
must be Of hopeful nature. for they
never complain. 4 chilly man who adj
mits that he feels the edge of the wind
Is no longer a genuine specimen. and
he IL invest IN an oveTcoat the first sur.
plus he has. Yet sthev have their use.
Many OF US. who have nothing "a look
down on and pity, manage when we
meet them 70 get rid OF surplus SYM

Ro6sING INDIAN GRAVES.
Outrages Upon Connecticut's Remaining
Pequoe Tribes.

Pequot Tribes.
The Pequot Indians in Connecticut,
last of that famous tribe of Indians, are
aroused over recent attempt on the
part of white men to rob their burying
ground of bones and relics The In.
dians discovered some men at work on
q grave in which. it is said, descendant
of Robina Cassinament was buried.
Several half-breeds at once gave chase
to the men. who fed, says.the Philadel-
phia Telegraph.
The burying ground is near the mid
die of the Pequot reservation, which is
q rough, heavy wooded tract of land
about one mile wide by two long, in
the southwest corner of North Stoning-
ton. seven miles north of Mystic Ridge.
1t is known as an Indian town. The
state long ago set it off to the exclusive
use and practical ownership of the de-
scendants of the PeQuots. so long as
any remained.
About dozen families of mixed blood
have remained there during the last
twenty-five years. The last pure blood
Peauot to die was Amanda Nedson,
about three years ago. The Pequot de-
scendants are for the most part poor,
but they have the highest regard for
the burial place of their race. and for
years have been tormented by relic
hunters.
For some time there appears 70 have
been an unusual demand for Pequot In
dian relics. Many rich finds have 70.
warded explorers in the Indian ceme-
teries about here. In southeastern Con.
necticut and southwestern Rhode
Island have been found large quantities
Of Indian pipes, beads, arrow heads,
lances, drills, knives and trinkets worn
by the Indians If anyone is found
trespassing in the Pequot cemetery now
it may be at the risk of his life, for the
Indians are said to be very angry.

Would Not Paw the Tax.

Canal Dover is now in trouble over a
rolling mill matter. some two or three
years ago the proprietors of rolling
mill there agreed that if the citizens of
Dover would give them $4,000 the plant
be enlarged, etc. An agreement was
entered into between the town council
and the mill men and both have fulfilled
their contract. The sum was raised by
taxation but three or four citizens re-
fused to pay their tax and one of them
entered injunction proceedings and
regular boycott has been inaugurated
against them. Bad feeling is rampant
and threatens the welfare of the town.
The citizens afterward met and agreed
to pay the taxes of the enjoiners. This
was at first rejected by the latter, but a
late report has it the offer has been ac-
cepted and the Injunction withdrawn
