Virginia.

Virginia has been called the "Mother
of Presidents, from the fact that it
has furnished seven men who aided to
guide the destinies of the nation. 1t has
also been denominated the "Old Do.
minion," from a singular and little
known historic incident. Being settled
under the auspices of cavaliers, the col
ony remained loyal to the Stuarts, even
during the Puritan revolution, and
Cromwell is said to have more than
once been on the point Of preparing an
expedition to sail to Virginia and re-
duce to submission the rebellious col
onists. Not long before the accession of
Charles II to the throne of his fathers
the Virginians sent a deputation to the
exiled prince, inviting him to come to
the new world and become king of Vir-
ginia, and, according to this story, he
is reported to have been ON the point of
sailing when he received an invitation
70 the throne of England. As the story
goes, in gratitude for the loyalty of the
Virginians he Quartered the arms Of
that province with those of England,
Scotland and Ireland, and thus the
province received its complimentary
designation. A less popular designation
is the Mother of States" an allusion
10 the fact that it's settlement was in
1907, before that of any other colony.

Soul Superstitions.

The Greeks had a pretty fancy about
the soul and the butterfly, and so have
the Basques, and that the two were in
Interchangeable. Among the cannibals
living east Of the Gaboon river Mr.. r.
L. Garner has collected neat lot of
folklore about the butterfly. As Eng
lished from their pigeon. talk it runs as
follows: In the old time there was a
good and bad divinity, Case and
Hull. Case was master of all the beau
tiful things as the flowers and birds.
Hull held the serpents and creeping
things under his sway. There was a
caterpillar, servant Of Hulu's, whose
duty it was to devour the flowers Once
he crawled up tree, and, seeing a
flower, began to eat it. "Stop,' said
Case, "why destroy that flower? If you
will let it grow it will be fine fruit. !"
But the caterpillar answered, 81 must
do my master Hulu's bidding" Then
Case said: "Nibble only the leaves !;
they ought to suffice you, and if you
will be satisfied with the leaves, when
your little ones are born you may put
them in the fruit, which is certain to
grow, if you do not harm the flower"
And the caterpillar agreed to that
and only munched the leaves, and the
flower grew and grew, and in time was
a fine, large fruit. In those days cater
pillars always crept, and never changed
their shape. But Hull was good; so
when the eggs, which were laid in the
fruit, became caterpillars, they took on
wings and few and flew. but they We're
not handsome as they are today. Hulu
was the sun, SO he shot rays of light on
the butterfy's wings, and they We're
decked with his brilliant colors and
some with spots. Ingenious folklorists
will see once more in this the sun myth.
Following the general anthropological
rule, Mr.. Garner says that these canni-
balls were very much superior in ply
sique when compared with their native
surroundings New York Times

substitute. He would go down with
the old ship, he said
The scene that followed was most
touc ing The men wrung the brave old
mans hand in a last parting. One by
one they took their parachutes, swung
over the side and went sailing away into
the blue.
1.-THE last man was gone and old Wad
turned toward me and embraced NE.
Between his emotion and the extreme
ratification OF the air he could not speak.
This show of feeling lasted but min
utes, for we were brought to our senses
by great cheer from the enemy's crew.
They believed the ship deserted and
were bearing down toward us. Instantly
the admiral Strengthened up and firmly
pushed the button, turning the full force
of the electrical current into the pro-
pelling motors. The great ship swung
around and with terrific speed sailed at
the enemy. The enemy tried to swing
their ship out Of the course, but in vain.
In minute we struck them. A crash
like 1, 200 peals Of thunder, flash like
the explosion of dynamite factory and
all was still. And when looked again
there was nothing but blue, the endless
blue of infinite space. The Hawk and
her two opponents had been wrecked, /
suppose, by the awful conclusion.
Lieutenant Swash had finished his
narration and for long time puffed
silently at his pipe. 1, for my part, was
rapt in silent wonder at the man. l
knew Swash we'll, but such assurance
as this had not believed him capable
of. After all, he was one of those per-
sons who lie so habitually that, coming
from them, Il story of their own death
was not surprising. Suddenly l was
thrown violently from my chair to the
floor, and when 1 recovered my senses l

citedly over me.

the sosroN FAMINE, 4. 8. IL.

II ID not known unto this day
Why Boston tasted; but ray
OF knowledge comes to us betimes
In an old chronicle Of rhymes.
There 1t is stated that "a field
Crop failed" The annual yield,
The lack of which filed Boston air
With the sad music of despair,
The legend fails to specify,
And SO to guess it we must try.
OF corn and wheat there was a store,
And cod and halibut were off shore:
OF deer and bear meat could be found
A plenty on the Common ground
Pota 3, peas and cabbage grew
Abunuantly, and parsnips too.
Alas, that on that hungry town
Gaunt famine should come stalking down; !;
The young and old in health declined.
1t seemed that cruel fate designed
To have this wholesome people die.
'Tis hard today to tell Just why
The merchants sent to far and near
For succor, and it would appear
That succor came, but wild storms tossed
The ship ashore, and it was lost.
A second vessel failed to reach
The harbor; sunk off Salisbury beach.
The famine spread at a frightful pace
1t looked as il the robust race
Or Boston town would fade away,
And that her streets would grow green hay.
Things got unto such fearful passes
The women took to wearing glasses;
AS if by merely shielding sight
They might control the appetite.
Much that in Boston now we see
Is doubtless pure heredity.
The children in the district school
Escaped unwhipped, for the ferule
Within the masters weakened hand,
Was harmless as a fairy wand.
The deacons of the church could not
Collect the pence, and tithes forgot.
Don't contradict! l know what
Am writing; history won't lie.)
Twas hard to tell how it would end
Did not the winds and tides befriend.
A loaded sloop, with beans and pork,
Got safely in from far New York.
The bells We're rung all up and down,
And famine ended in that town.

the conclusion had torn off the end of

Admiral Wad at once ordered that
we pursue the same tactics. Everything
went by the board-guns and all ammu-

the British admiral was not to be out

Admiral Wad swore. Our guns were
gone and we could have lain there for
eternity and not harm each other. unless
we closed. For long time he paced the

men together, and in q neat, touching
speech asked for one volunteer for q for

M,KINLEY IN WEST VIRGINIA.
He VIII Carry the Stata-W ashington
Mines in the Fast.

Among the passengers on yesterdays
Northern Pacific overland was DR.. J. j.
Smith, who was at the convention. after
having paid a visit TO several states fur
Their east. DR.. Smith is physician for the
Oregon Improvement Company at Frank
lin and has always taken great interest in
politics. He was at the last county con-
vention and also at the state convention.
In reference to West Virginia, which he
visited. DR.. Smith said:
Il think the Republicans will carry the
state by from 5000 TO 10000 majority. The
tariff is the vital issue. The only people
discussing the free silver issue are those
who sit around in front OF stores on dry
goods boxes and the Democratic poliu-
clans, most OF whom are insineere. AS an
illustration, ex-senator John ID. Sweeney.
who Is the leading Democrat In his section
of the state, told me that he did not be-
heye In free coinage OF silver bu. that IL
was politics and that he would admit that
the Democratic partywould present a sorry
spectacle going before the voters OF West
Virginia on the tariff issue.
I'm Mercer county, one OF the largest
counties in the southern part OF the state.
a large number of the most influential
Democrats went into~the Republican coun-
" convention and declared their
intention Of supporting the Repub-
ncan ticket as business propo-
OF West Nirginians, and you will hear
more kind expressions from Democrats re-
garding him than for Grover Cleveland
Undoubtedly West Virginia's six electoral
votes viii be cast for Mckinley and Ho-
bart
THE party is united on George w. At
kinson for governor and the present Re-
publican delegation in the lower house of
congress. Democrats and Populists In
William L. Wilson's district have fused,
and are making effort TO fuse In the
other districts. The Populists are the
weakest party, and fusion will accomplish
nothing. for the state ticket viii follow
the lead of the national ticket, and will
go In by a handsome majority"
DR. Smith also discovered that the mines
OF Washington are attracting attention.
IT was In New York. Pennsylvania.
Washington City, Virginia West Virginia,
Tennessee, Ohio and Missouri" he said
Every where found that the people were
interested in the mines of Washington
and were anxious to find out all they could
about them. l predict that there Will be
great deal of activity in developing the
mining industry OF Washington I'm the
next year or two They asked all sorts
of questions, covering the class OF ore
location OF the mines, the amount OF de-
velopment in the different mining regions
and accessibility The Trail creek district
with the lie Roi and War Eagle was
known everywhere. and there were also
inquiries about Monte Cristo and Chic
ride mountain. Any Washington man
visiting the East should make himself
a bureau OF mining information In order
to be able TO answer the thousand and one
questions that VIII be asked him.
