Workmen's Exchanges.

When strange barber comes to
town and wants work, he does not
waste his time and shoe leather
walking around inquiring at the
shops for position. He goes to one
of the two exchanges and registers
his name. Then he takes a chair
and a newspaper and proceeds to
make himself comfortable. Boss

Curious Customs of Oregon Coons.


A California correspondent of
Forest and Stream tells about
"trooping coons'' on the Columbia
river. The coons gather in troops of
from 3 to 25 or more after nights
playing and feeding, and make their
way over O well worn trail to the
home tree Or cavern, the females
leading and the males following,
clawirg one another for first place.
The skilled troop hunter follows
the trail of a single coon till he
comes to the main trail. To follow
a single coon requires the keenest of
eyes and wide knowledge of the
habits of the animals, since fire.
quently even skillful tracker loses
the train for rods at stretch. To
get be- a big troop of coons is a
dificu natter, requiring luck add
ed to woodcraft.
Once the hunter gets before the
troop he waits till the beasts come
within good range, when he fires his
rifle. Thereupon the females turn
and go rushing back on their trail,
scrambling over the males in q way
that astonishes them and makes
them blink. The males take TO the
branches of nearby trees. Then the
hunter shoots all he can see one by
one. Three men have in that way
bagged as many as rs coons on
hunt, it Is said.
On bright moonlight nights the
coons may sometimes be shot from
a boat. They are very fond of frogs,
and come along the river bank in
their search for them, as well as for
mussels and other water delicacies.
Their presence is betrayed by the
waves they make, but as muskrats
make similar waves strong jack
light is often useful.

Iii the Same Boat.

A student at Williamstowr college
had been married short time pre-
vious to entering the college and
was led to fear that this fact might
debar him from enjoying some OF
the privileges Of the institution. Ac-
cordingly, in great state of per
turbation, he called to see President
Hopkins. After some conversation
the young man at last managed to
stammer, with a crimson face, apro-
pos of something entirely irrele.

London's Poor.

An Englishman now in Washing
ton says: "The poor man in this
country seems to be more self re-
specting than the chronic pauper
that has made the name of White
chapel notorious all over the world.
The latter is in such abject poverty
that he has lost all hope of ever bet
tering his condition. How the mis-
erable wretches live is mystery.
And when it comes to the women,
this nation has an immense advan-
tage. Your women, unless of the
fallen order, do not frequent public
drinking houses. 1t is the greatest
disgrace of London that the women
of the poorer class are as good GUS
toners of the liquor shops as the
men, and, worse still, the poison is
handed them across the bar by one
of their own sex. In east London
children of tender years accompany
their mothers into such places. -

a UrolI pera GegEar.

Several beggars in Pera own a
large amounto of property. One we'll
known man has houses worth 10, 600
lire, and yet is to be seen begging
in filthy rags. A poor governess,
who was very charitable, used to
give him plaster twice a week.
One day she missed Ira (pound)
and thought she must have given it
to the beggar by mistake. He had
gone home for the day, so she fol-
lowed him to his house on the Tax
ime. He received her graciously,
looking like a pasha at least in his
magnificent robes. II never like to
lose a good Client, " he said, and
sent for his bag of takings. IF
there's Ira here, we shall find it. "
Sure enough, the Ira was there.
Take it," he continued, and the
poor girl, full Of thanks, was hurry
ing away when the beggar stopped
her. "Wait moment; you haven't

Taking Out tho Embessadrcss.

MIR. w. E. Curtis, tho author of
an entertaining work Of eastern
travel, relates an instance of his So
jorrn in China which represents the
great Ii Hung Chang in an attitude
of characteristic ignorance of occi-
dental customs. The French embas-
sador at PekiDg gave a dinner par
ty AMI invited Ii Hung Chang. Pre-
vious to sitting down to dinner the
party, which included the wives of
the European guests, were convers-
ing in an apartment which adjoined
the dining room.
Presently the butler threw back
the portiercs and announced tho din
ner. Tho French ambassador step
ped up to the great Chinese states
man and said
"Will your excellency take my
wife out to dinner2'
Ii interpreted tho request literal
ly. The French embassadress was a
tiny woman, and Ii Hung Chang is
six feet three. He picked the little
woman up under one arm, and, to
the amazement of the company as
well as the distress of the victim,
carried her bodily out to the dining

THE GUNPOWDER PLOT.
Evidence That the Guy Fawkes Conspiracy
Was Planned by Lord Salisbury.

Evidence That the Guy Fawkes Conspiracy
Was Planned by Lord Salisbury.
Another fine old historical story
is in danger of demolition, but its
place will be taken by new one.
For over 200 years Englishmen
have celebrated their deliverance
from the gunpowder plot. This was
a plot to blow up the king, lords and
commons on the opening day of par
lament, Nov. 5, 1905. 1t was the
work of band of desperate Roman
Catholics, who proposed to proclaim
a Catholic sovereign afterward
Toward the end of October Lord
Monteagle received an anonymous
letter, warning him not to attend
the opening of parliament He show
ed it to Salisbury, who in turn COM
municated it to the king, and James,
with superhuman insight, OWNED
it's true significance. On the night
of the 4th the cellars were searched,
and in them we're found the barrels
of gunpowder and Guy Fawkes
ready to do the awful deed.
In recently published book Fa-
ther Gerard, an English Jesuit,
shows that there is strong reason
to believe that the British nation
has all along been in error as to the
true nature of this plot. 1t seems
very probable that it was the work
of the Earl of Salisbury, secretary
of state and ancestor of the present
prime minister, who succeeded there
by in discrediting his Catholic op-
ponents and establishing himself in
power.
The absurdities of this traditional
and official story are legion. In the
first place, there is no agreement as
to where the gunpowder was stored.
One contemporary account says it
was under the old house of lords,
another says under tho painted
chamber, and it is aremark' Die fact
that wherever the houst OF lords
has sat since that date Guy Fawkes
cellar has been provided under it to
satisfy the curiosity of inquiring
minds. The house WHICH the con-
spirators hired was actually the
house which was used by the peers
as a withdrawing place during the
session. Yet no ones suspicious
were reused when a band of we'll
known desperadoes secured it at
considerable cost and trouble. They
mined under it and turned up tors
of earth, which they secreted under
the turf of a tiny back garden, a :
no one, not even the landlady, no.
ticed it. Then they came to sol. l
wall, at which they hammered night
and day, and again the landlady
and her neighbors slept through it
all.
Finding they could not penetrate
it, they stored their barrels in eel,
lar, the door of which was on level
with the ground and opened out on
to crowded thoroughfare, and no
one saw them. With similar sue
cess they imported 36 barrels of
gunpowder, enough to supply an
important fortress in those days,
though no one has yet explained
where they got from or what was
done with it, for the official records
contaiu no hint. Never once did a
government spy look in upon them;
yet, strangely enough, every one Of
the conspirators was known to the
secretary of state; most OF them
had already been noted as suspicious
characters. York Journal.

AN INDIAN LEGEND.
It Tells How tho Beautiful Trailing ar
butu5 Had It's Birth.

butus Had It's Birth.
A great many moons ago an old
man lived in a lodge beside frozen
forest stream. He clothed himself IN
the heaviest of furs, for winter was
everywhere, and the old man could
scarcely keep from freezing to
death. The cold winds whistled
through the forest and shook the big
trees until not a leaf was left Oh
them. It chilled the birds, too, and
drove them away.
The old mans fire was burning
low, and he went out to search in
the deep snow for wood with which
to make it burn brighter and thus
warm his lodge. But he searched in
vain. Not one piece of wood could
he find, and in despair he returned
to his lodge, sat down by the dying
embers and prayed the great Man
naboosho that he might not utterly
perish.
He had scarcely finished the
prayer when the wind blew open
the door of his lodge, and there came
in a radiantly beautiful maiden.
Her complexion was of cream and
roses; her eyes were large and
bright; her hair was long and as fine
and as shining as spun gold; her
dress was of beautiful leaves, grasses
and ferns, and her moccasins were
made of white lilies.
MY child, my fair daughter, y"
said the old man, II am delighted
to see you. My lodge is cold and
bare, but it will shelter you from
the fearful tempest of the night.
Pray, sit down and tell me who you
are that dare come to Manito's lodge
in such strange clothing this cold,
cold night. "
The maiden sat down, and Manito
filled two pipes and handing one to
his visitor said:
"Let us smoke the pipe of peace
while we talk. am Manito. I blow
my breath, and the waters CONCEAL !;
I shake my snowy locks, and, 10,
snow covers the earth. At my COM
mand the animals hide away, the
leaves fall from the trees, and the
birds fly away
Said the maiden:
II have but to breathe, and gor-
geous flowers are seen everywhere. l
shake my sunny locks, and the warm
rain falls to gladden. nature; at the
sound of my gentle voice the plants
lift up their heads, the trees cover
themselves with innumerable green
leaves, the birds come back, and there
is music everywhere. y
AS the maiden sat talking and
breathing the air of the lodge it be-
came warm; the old mans head
dropped until it rested on his bosom,
and thus he sweetly slept.
The maiden waved her hands
above his head, and he began to
grow small. Silvery streams of wa
ter ran out of his mouth and eyes,
and soon he was little mass upon
the ground, and all his clothing had
turned to pretty green leaves.
Then the maiden knelt on the
ground, took from her bosom dain-
ty, sweet white flowers, kissed them
and strewed them under the leaves
and said:
II give you all my virtue and my
sweetest breath, and he that shall
hereafter pluck thee must do so
upon bended knee.
With fairylike tread the maiden
walked away to the music made by
hundreds of feathered songsters,
and wherever she stopped to rest,
and nowhere else, grows the love-
liest of all wild flowers, the trailing
arbutus.-Philadelphia Times.
