A MEAN ADVANTAGE.
The Idea Of colored Maps Was stolen From
Poor Girl.

The Idea Of Colored Maps Was Stolen From
Poor Girl
III don't know that that is a true
story said the woman in gray, "but
it was told to me as such. 1t happened
a great many years ago when the ways
and means Of acquiring useful lm0wl-
edge were not SO easy as they are today.
In geography, for instance, the maps
were all one color, the different countries
being simply defined BY their boundary
lines. There was a young girl, an artist,
who bethought her Of a clever way to
change this. She digested her idea for
soIae days and then worked il out in
what she felt sure was a successful man
ner. Then, armed with her bundle Of
sample work, she made her way to what
was then the largest sch00lbO0k publish
ing firm in the country.
'She succeeded in getting an inter
view with one Of the firms representa-
tives. Thus far and 10 farther, however,
was she destined to 90. We never buy
work from outsiders. said the represent
ative promptly, and of course we
couldn't think Of making an exception
in your case. I'm very sorry. No doubt
you have some clever ideas there, but
it wouldn't be the least worth while to
show them to me, for they wouldn't be
Of the slightest use to us. Good day
And the young girl found herself once
more in the cold, bleak world, with
what she was sure was an excellent idea
still unsold.
''What became Of her history fails to
tell us. With her idea it was different.
1t 50 happened that when the young wo-
man had started to undo her bundle the
representative had caught sight OF the
colored maps within. Brief as the glance
was be had recognized the value Of the
idea, as he had also recognized that it was
one that might be appropriated by any
one He therefore went al once to the
head Of the firm and stated the case The
firm seized upon the idea with avidity,
had it carefully patented and proceeded
to sow colOred maps broadcast through
out the educational world. Of course they
simply minted money from the scheme,
and for many years did it continue to be
a source of income. Pretty good, wasn't
it, for an idea that couldn't possibly be
Of any use to them?' New York Sun.

ed At first sight Of us he sprang to his
feet, and instead of running away when
he recognized US as escaped prisoners,
which / am sure he did, he called on us
to surrender and seized man with each
hand. He was only a boy, being less
than 90 years old, and not having even
pistol with him it was a foolhardy
thing for him to do. Having brave
heart in him, he acted on impulse. The
idea with all of us was that we had
blundered upon party of soldiers sent
out in search, and no one hesitated to
use his club.
1t was only after the young soldier
had gone down under our blows that
we found he was alone and unarmed
Two men lifted up his body and bore it
into thicket across the road, and when
at safe distance we examined his in
juries and did all that was possible un-
der the circumstances to revive him.
Some Of the blows had fractured his
skull, and at the end of two hours he
was dead. When tell you that we were
sorely grieved over the matter, do not
half express our feelings. In one sense
we had the moral and legal right to at
tack him and defend ourselves, but when
we saw him lying dead we could not
help but feel that there was innocent
blood on our hands. On an envelope in
his pocket was his name, George Will
hanson, and he also had with him a ten
days furlough, granted by the M
mander Of the post at Salisbury d,
days before. He was one of the guard
at the prison pen, then, and had been
home on a furlough and was making
his way back.
We found a spot where tree had
been overturned and buried the body as
well as we could, and during the re-
mainder of the day no one seemed to
think of food. As night came we started
on again, but we had not made dis

tance of ten miles when a comrade
named Clark caught his foot and twist
ed his ankle in way to render him per
fectly helpless. There was no thought of
going on without him. After scouting
around and finding that we were in the
woods half a mile from the highway
and at least mile from any cleared
field, we erected a rude shelter and pre-
pared to wait until Clark could proceed
with us. The next day we got some corn
from field two miles away and parch-
ed it over a small fire, and later on we
captured several opossums, killed pig,
which was running wild, and knocked
over and devoured three or four crows
and pronounced them excellent eating
Thanksgiving day found us still there,
though CLARK was getting the better of
his injury, and we hoped to make start
next morning. Our dinner was ready at
8 o'clock in the afternoon and consisted
of roasted crow, three sweet potatoes
and a cake made Of meal and water
The meal had been stolen from negro
shanty three miles away during the pre-
vious afternoon. Perhaps taken" would
be the better term, as one Of the men
went to the shanty to beg for something
and found no one at home.
The five of us sat in circle eating
this Thanksgiving dinner when stran-

So let no spirit, though far apart
From happy fortune its path may stray,
Refuse to honor, with voice and heart,
The dear tradition we keep today
For never a soul in all the earth,
In hut Or palace, in any cline,
But has some blessing or comfort worth
The giving thanks at this joyful time.
We who are happy, whose lot is crowned
With every favor that life can bring,
How can we fail, as the day comes round,
To offer thanks, to rejoice and sing?
We who are wretched, whose days are dark,
Void Of all that can bless or cheer,
May still be glad, as its dawn we mark,
That rest and freedom are almost here.

So deaf seemed heaven to their prayers al

A cloud arose in the sky at dawn,
Dark and heavy with promised rain.
And when poured plenteously down at last
The crystal blessing denied so long
They changed the day from a gloomy fast
Into service Of JOY and song
And ever after their children, too,
And their children's children after them,
With love and gratitude ever new,
Set one day separate, like gem
Of purer luster than all the rest

When all might offer, as one, their best

One summer fercely and long the sun
Had parched their gardens and scorched their
grain,
And days and weeks had gone on and on
With never sprinkle Of saving rain
The heat drank greedily all the springs
And dried the wheat ere the ears were filled;
It withered the corn to yellow strings
And all the tenderer crops were killed
And strongest spirits grew faint indeed,
Foreseeing nothing but want and woe,
Wasting hunger, and bitter need
And actual famine with winters snow.
The preachers doubled their sermons length
And droned long chapters and prayed and
prayed,
Yet, spite Of their faiths persistent strength,
Was every man Of them sore afraid

In the pleasant days when we went to school
We read, in well worn history book,
How, restless under despot's rule
A band of pilgrims their land forsook,
And, crossing wide, mysterious main
To country strange and little known,
Began, with hardship and toll and pain,
The home and nation we call our own
The tale rehearsed how they strove with fate,
They and their meek and patient wives
And rose up early and labored late
To keep and comfort their lonely lives.
They felled the forests with fire and ak,
They dug and planted tie rugged soil
And faced denials, and pinching lacks,
And constant danger, and ceaseIess toll

ther, that if the number, 12,00G,-

333 years for them to elapse. In
lieu OF this arrangement, we might
press and pile them vertically up

the pile would reach the magnif-
cent attitude of 400, or in round
