place when she met second and
third of her companions, and, az soon
as she had left them, they quickly
turned toward the spot where the
snail lay. The first ant soon entered
the nest and I lost sight of her; but

Visitors to the Worlds Fair who
have thought of Kansas as a treeless
plain are going to be enlightened as
they look upon the great walnut log
to be exhibited from the State. Nat
'uralists declare that it is the largest
specimen Of this kind on the continent,
probably in the world. In telling the
tree the utmost care was used to pre-
vent breakage, but some of the limbs
were broken. A log sixteen feet long
has been cut and sent to the Fair.
Rings indicate an age of 572 years.
The log weighs over 10000 pounds.
The tree is the most colossal growth
of Kansas soil and will be placed at
the top of the timber pyramid.

The threatened disbandment of the
Delaware militia results from feel
ing among the rural voters, who rule
Delaware, that such an organization
is an expensive toy. The whole State
Government of Delaware, including
the pay oflegislators and judges, costs
much less than 100000 a year, and
to appropriate $4,000 year, to what

Tho "Miraculous" OF "Holy Thorn"

At Glastonbury abbey in Somerset
shire, England, once stood a thorn
tree which, it is said. bloomed every
Christmas morning. The first authen-
tic account of it ever written was in
17Ts by a Mr.. Eyst0n, who tells of it in
the account of his visit to .the abbey
The keeper assured Mr.. Eyston that
st. Joseph of Arimathea landed not
far from the town at a place where
there was formerly an oak that had
been planted to his memory; that he
and his companions marched to a hill
and rested themselves, and that Joseph
stuck his staff in the ground. Now
this staff was common dry
hawthorn stick, but it grew,
and first came into full flower on
Christmas day. Afterward the tree,
which had thus grown and budded like
Aaron's rod. always bloomea on the
day of our Lords nativity. and upon no
other day, the flower, like that of the
night-blooming cereus, lasting but
few hours. Many queer stories have
been told of ''The Miraculous Thorn of
Glastonbury. 1t was said that il the
chips from it were planted they would
sprout and grow like potatoes; that the
leaves cured all inflammations, SWELL
ings, etc, and that reds" cut from it

A WITTY ANSWER,

Rubenstein's Clever Way of Dsposins Of
Nuisance.
Those whose mission in life il is to
entertain the public are always pes
tered by friends and acquaintnnces for
free seats at their entertainments.
There probably never was singer or
an actor or a pianist who was not
bored nearly to death by these people,
many of whom had not the slightest
claim to ssk the courtesy they de-
nanded.
A pianist who was prominently sue
cessful in his day, and that day was
not so far back either, was Rubenstein,
who travelled nearly the whole world
over delighting people with his genius.
He, like all others, was very much an
noyed by requests for complimentary
tickets, but most Of the time he main
tanned his composure even though
Justly irritated. It is told of him that
just before one of his recitals in Lon
don he was accosted by an old lady in
the entrance hall, and thus addressed:
"Oh, Mr.. Rubenstein, l am so glad to
see you'll l have tried in vain 10 pur-
chase ticket Have you seat you
could let me have?"
Madam" said the great pianist,
"there is but one seat at my dis
posal, and that you are welcome to, if
you think fit to take it."
''Oh, yes: and thousand thanks!

In THE Wilderness Hunter" Theo-
dore Roosevelt says that as a rule no.
body displays much curiosity about
other peoples antecedents in the far
west; but on one occasion MIR. Roose-
velt returned to his ranch and found a
strange hunter staying there, and
asked his foreman who was this new
conner, who evidently appreciated good
things and seemed inclined to make a
permanent stay, according to the Gus
tom of the country
My foreman, who had large way of
looking at questions of foreign eth
nology and geography, responded with
Indifference:
''Oh, he's kind of Dutchman; but
he hates the other Dutch mortal. He's
from an island Germany took from
France in the last war;"
This seemed puzzling; but it turned
out that the island" in question was
Alsace.
Native Americans predominant
among the dwellers on the borders of
the wilderness. and in the wild coun-
try over which the great herds of the
cattlemen roam; and they take the
lead in every way. The sons of the
Germans, Irish and other European
newcomers are usually quick to claim
to be straight United States" and to
disavow all kinship with the fellow
countrymen of their fathers.
Once, while with hunter bearing a
German name, we came by chance on
German huntingparty from one of
the eastern cities. One of them re-
marked to my companion that he must
be part German himself, to which he
cheerfully answered.:
well, my father was a Dutchman,
but my mother was a white woman!
I'm pretty white myself" whereat the
Germans glowered at him gloomily.
