sheen Jumping Hedges.

Anent sheep jumping hedges, 1 may
venture here to tell tale Of a certain old
rogue who went by the name of Tup Harry.
This Is how he got his nickname: Harry
was small farmer, and he had a neighbor
with better means and better farm than
his own. One very dry season Harry had
come to the end Of his grass for flock Of
sheep he possessed. His neighbor had,
however, got fine field Of mangel wurzel
Harry looked over the hedge-a hedge fur
nished with outstanding slates-and great
ly longed for those mangels for his sheep,
but he did not relish the risk of being
caught taking them; 30 he went In the
evening into his field, that was bare of
grass, put his head against the hedge. bent
his back and called, "Tupi Tupi Tupv'
whereupon up ran his old ram, jumped on
his back, went on to the hedge and over
into the mangel field. and all the flock, In
Indian file, scampered after him over the
back of Harry.
Very early in the morning the rogue
went into the devastated mangel field, put
his head against the hedge, bent his back
and called, "Tupl Tup! Tupp and up came
the ram, ran over his back on to the hedge,
and returned to the barren quarter again,
followed, in Indian file, by all the flock.
That was done several times, and no signs
appeared anywhere Of the hedge being
broken through or Of a padlocked gate
having been opened. At last the farmer
who was robbed hid himself one night and
saw the whole proceeding. Tup Harry did
not try that trick again. Jour

Mr.. Leslie Stephen writes strongly,
but not too strongly, when he says in
reference to the correspondence Of Pope.
LIT is painful to track the strange de-
captions Of man of genius as detect
i've unravels the misdeeds Of an accom-
plished swindler." Pope was confirm
ed liar. and he lied very hard indeed
about the publication Of his letters.
Having by means Of trick secured
their publication by notorious pirat-
ical bookseller, he at once declared that
the letters were forgeries. Yet while he
was calling out for their suppression he
was really anxious for their sale. The
details of all his trickery and lying need
not be gone into here.
Pope, full Of vanity and longing to
publish his correspondence. had pur-
posely employed notorious bookseller
to issue an edition in order that he
might then DO able to say that the yer.
sion was piratical one, and that In
self defense he must publish the genu.
inc text. The odd thing is that, though
the whole affair was exposed at the
time, it does not seem to have done
Pope any harm. DR.. johnson, indeed,
says that it did him good, and that the
nation was full of praise for the admira
BILE qualities of candor. benevolence and
fidelity which the letters revealed. Herr

genius who has not yet published hi

Angoulone.

A b>oad, isolated hill about 200 feet In
height, with two winding rivers near its
base; a hill with almost perpendicular
sides and plateaulike top, covered closely
with buildings and edged with trees-this
is Angouleme. In Roman days y lay with.
in a triangle formed by the three chief
highways Of these western dlstricts, left
aside when, with their customary direct
ness, the great roadbuilders Of antiquity
connected Perigueux. Saintes, Limoges and
Poitiers. For this reason Ausonius wrote
of It, "Iculisma deyio &C solo looo," and
today we cannot suspect that Rome ever
valued IL unless we look underground or
within museum walls. But the relics here
preserved prove that 1t was an important
place TO the Romans and Its strong posi-
ton kept It important through all the
warning centuries which stretched De-
tween the collapse Of their power and the
Arm consolidation Of the modern Kingdom
Of France. M. g. Van Rensselaer, In Cen

The Retirement of the
Hancock Boys on
Monday
L. Due to Misunderstanding.
The Johnson-smiiey Com bi uatiou z,
Appear at Haneock-Other Late
Twin city News.

On account OF the misunderstanding
which led up to the retirement OF the
Hancock \. M. c. A. athletes from the
inter-association field day games it has
been freely said by Y. NJ. c. A. members
and Others that the end OF association
athletics has been marked by MONDAYS
fiasco and that the copper ountry asso-
Citations would not again meet in friendly
competition. In the argument az to the
eligibility OF certain men from entering
them was right and wrong on both
sides and really from lack OF court of
arbitration the Calumet and Hancock
boys failed to reach an agreement.
without entering into an argument OF
the present state OF affairs or trying to
make matters any better, az far as this
year Is concerned, several gentlemen, IN
terested in the welfare OF the Young Mems
Christian Association and interested in
the advancement OF amateur athletics,
will try and devise plan for the regula-
ton OF athletics as far az the Y. NJ. C. AS.
OF Houghton county are concerned.
F. N. Bosom, OF Calumet, well known
as lover OF athletics and an excellent
field manager, has expressed himself as
In favor OF the formation OF some sort of
an arbitration board to which the ques-
ton OF any athletes standing could be
referred together with other questions
arising between the different associa-
tions. In case such plan should be ell
aborated and adopted then athletes be-
tween the three associations could start
afresh with those athletes who desired to
come into the ameteur ranks reinstated
and with proper authority to look
after the actions OF the men under their
Jurisdiction and to look strictly after
their standing. Mr.. f. ID. johnson, OF
the Quincy, is another man interested in
athletics from love OF them. Such men
az those would make good members OF
board OF arbitration to whom authority
could be delegated by the athletic COM
mittees OF the several Y. M. G. AS
This matter OF the regulation OF the
amateur county athletics is more import
ant than the mere settlement OF difficult
ties 80 as to allow the associations to
come together, draw a crowd and put
money into the treasury OF each. II is a
fact that unlees some such plan is devised
that field sports have received black eye
and that the incentive for many young
men to become members OF the associa-
tions will be removed. Competition is
the life OF athletics and the boys interest
ed in the sports form large percentage
OF the Y. M. Z. A. membership. The
chance for competition must be given.
The older men who take an interest in
the sports must interest themselves at
this crisis. The boys knowing their ur-
biased attitude will welcome their
counsels at this time.

On September %, the Johnson Smiley
combination OF entertainers, will appear
at the Y. NJ. C. A. hall. Miss K. Pauline
johnson is described in the prospectus as
the Indian princess, Tekahionwake, Of
the Mohawks and daughter OF the late
chief OF the Six Nations Indians. She is
said to be the only Indian poet, reciter
and entertainer in the world. She will in
clude in her numbers. selections from her
own spirited writings OF Indian tradi-
tions. romance and heroism and will ap-
pear in the costume OF an lroquois and
Mohawk maiden. Mr.. Smiley is an Eng
lishman OF considerable renown az an
entertainer and most OF his work hereto
fore, has been in private parlors.
The evening should prove an unique one
and certainly worth the 80 cents
charged.

ENGLISH CHILDREN.
Tho Manner In Which They Are Allowed
To Csdge For Money.

The Manner In Which They Are Allowed
to Cadge For Money.
Every American man must remember
the shock Of surprise with which he first
encountered in an English novel the
notion Of schoolboy, a gentleman's
son, taking money as gift from his
parents friends and guests. Nothing
could have been more foreign to the
american idea in my time than that,
and I suppose it is still the same.
Neither parents nor boys could have
submitted to the thought without NOR
LITIGATION. But here the feeling. or at
least the fact, is quite different. A hard
working man who lives up to the last
penny Of O meager professional income
can give q half sovereign tip to the
schoolboy son Of a friend Cd acquaint-
ance of his who has $50, 900 year. and
the boy will pocket it, and the father
will, at the most, look the other way. /
used to think that this had its explana-
tion in the fact that parents and chill
dren were not united by so close bond
here az in America, and that the father
OnAc0 AcSS tnni My AncIiCdu lhtHcI
would care for the dignity and self re-
spect Of his son. On the other hand,
however, it is certain that the English
father holds himself responsible for his
son and spends money solicitously in
trying to start him in life long past the
stage when an American youth would
be expected to go out and shift for him
self. And, indeed, the older one gets the
palmer it is to be seen that any and ev-
cry attempt to dogmatize about the diff
ference between the two peoples Of the
two countries must be subject to all sorts
Of reservations and contradicting modi-
fications. But it is true that the English
child is allowed to cadge for money in
q way which is unknown to the Ameri-
can child Of the same social grade, and
that this is by no means confined to
relatively poor people. This fact has al
ways seemed to me TO rob the English
child Of a great deal Of the interest
which with us attaches to childhood.
Not l alone fnd him less interesting, il
is universal judgment upon him.

Mirage . Dreaded Danger 20 Travellers.
An Uninviting Country.


OF the country, when have said that 10
10 fiat--beautifully flat and hard, save In
few patches, with for the most part floor
ing OF firm sand burned here and there
into the consistency OF soft tile-I have
said about a. much as Is possible In It's ia
vor. Here and there is stretch Of what
might well be taken for smooth granite
pavement, breaking the dull level Of the
sand. Everywhere, at intervals OF few
hundred yards, are dotted kopies, big or
small, for the most part round, domelike
hills that make each stretch Of country
seem affair of in the dim light OF morning
or evening and appear like some distant
town. Early in the morning Of our second
day we passed the Bahr el Korosko, or gate
Of Korosko, long regular formation OF
low rocks stretching due east and vert and
looking, as we gazed back through the
gray OF the dawning, like mighty wall OF
some great fortified town.
The name indeed, Is thoroughly appro-
priate-the hills and peaks and round
kopjes that rise within the bah serving to
heighteD the illusion In no small measure.
Appropriate also Is the name OF Bahr Be
lama, or sea without water, given TO the
stretch Of open desert on to which one de-
bouches from the Bah oil Korosko. This
Bahr Belama Is to the Arabs a somewhat
terrible place On this particular road
there can be no danger Of being lost, for,
falling guides, the bones OF tens OF thou
sands of caInels that lie strewn on the track
would, even II the telegraph line to Murat
did not exist, afford ample indication to
the traveller Of the route he must take.
We tried awhile to count how many OF
these camel skeletons might go on an aver
age to mile. 1t was vain task. We had
got as many as five per telegraph post, only
TO discover more and yet more as we chose
to widen the track. There would have
been no end to the calculation, and we
were fain to give 1t up. But on the other
tracks and In night travel the Babr Belama

the Arab always speaks Of that strange
phenomenon, 1.-THE Seraab" (the mirage).
We ourselves saw nothing Of this mirage
beyond the blue haze In the distance, such
as indicates sea or a big lake. This the
Arabs call FL Ma ell Kezab, the false water.
