MementO Hunters Want the Presidents
Coon Dogs, Ducks, Rabbits Feet, Etc.
This is cleaning up preparatory to
moving time i'll the Cleveland house
hold, and the head of the family finds
his attention called from bothersome
Cuban complications and Queen Lii to
the more important business of getting
rid of garnet full of trash, gifts from
admiriug and Office seeking Americans
which have been accommodating since
1898. And now that it is suspected that
the president may have something valu-
able to give away, others of the dear
people who had nothing to do with aug
menting the accumulation are being
heard from in requests for keepsakes.
Grover Cleveland's lasting fame as
fisherman and duck hunter has caused
hundreds Of folk to send him all kinds
and conditions of guns, game baskets,
cartridge belts, decoy ducks, fishing
rods, nets, reels, lines, hobs, hooks and
sinkers, as well as jackets, hats, boots
and other articles needed in hunting in
the marshes. During the campaign he
was the recipient of left hind feet from
graveyard rabbits, luck stones and hoo
doc bags until the attic carried a scent
that was loud and lasting.
The country folk, having heard that
grand distribution is to take place, are
losing no time in specifying what they
would like to have out of the heap as
mementos of their great and good
| friend.
The marsh hunters of North Carolina
have filed claims to the decoy ducks
that so exasperated Private Secretary
Thurber's patience and the remarkable
gun that carried far without salt.
The Virginia farmers have heard that
the White House kennels contain some
scores Of hunting hounds and coon dogs
which the president will not take to
Princeton, owing to the recent increase
in the dog tax, and they have filed an
early bid.
The fishermen and weatherbeaten
tars Of Buzzards Bay are using their
influence with Thurber to obtain for
them the left over bait bottles
The household servants are feasting
their eyes on toilet articles and perfum-
cry, which are likely to come their
way, while Jerry, the coachman, is an
ticipating some solid comfort i'll the CT
gars, which no one has had the courage
to sample.-New York Journal.

of the year from: a sanitary point Of
view And yet its arbitrary prohibition
would be a delicate and most dangerous
undertaking.
The faith of Mohammedans, as one
writer points out, in the divine impOr-
tance attaching to pilgrimage to the
holy shrine of the prophet and to the
coveted title of hail" which follows
it, is blindly strong and fanatical. They
believe indeed that the more difficulty
encountered and the more devastation
created the more in proportion are the
divine blessings to be realized. To tell
some would be "hajis" that their pill
grimage to Mecca is likely to spread
death throughout non Mohammedan
countries is to make them the more
eager and determined to undertake it,
since, in the opinion Of the more igno-
rant, the great prophets prophecy can
only be contaminated by the annihila-
ton of all the 'unfaithful -
The cooperation Of the sultan, of the
shah and of the emir of Afghanistan
would be almost essential to the sue
cessful prohibition of the Mecca pill
grimage, and it is extremely doubtful
if this could be obtained even by strong
diplomatic pressure. The attempt will
probably be made, however. London

STORIES OF THE DAY.

Anecdotes, Serious and Humorous, About
the Late General Joe Shelby.
General Shelby and Judge John F.
Phillips of the United Statescircuit court
were great friends for many years. In
fact, when they were boys in Kentucky
they both clerked in the same store
During the civil war they were on OPP
posite sides, and as they were often near
each other they have many stories about
those stirring times.
Several months ago they were riding
on train together in the central part
of the state, when Judge Phillips sud-
denly pointed out of the window and
said:
General, do you remember the time
we came very near to catching you over
there?''
mo, sir, ;" said General Shelby, "but
I remember the time nearly caught
you there. If it had not been for the in
formal stupidity of the man I sent out
to tear up that track, we would have
had you sure. :"
At that time Shelby's forces were
known to be in the immediate vicinity
and Judge Phillips-then Colonel Phil
ips-had taken an engine and gone up
the railroad few miles to see if he could
learn anything of the movements of the
opposing forces. He was accompanied
by Colonel T. T. Crittenden, now con-
sui general of the United States in the
City of Mexico Shelby had received
word of the little expedition, and as
soon as the engine passed going up the
track he sent detachment of men, COM
manded by d subordinate officer, with
instructions to tear up the track and
thus prevent the colonel's reaching the
base of supplies.
The officer reached the track just in
time to hear the engine approaching
from a distance, and instead of doing
anything to prevent its passage he sat
on his horse and watched it fly by him.
When General Shelby found what had
happened, he was thoroughly mad, and
at once reduced the officer to the ranks.
1.-THE worthless blockhead," he said
eff he had only possessed sense enough
to shoot horse and let it fall across
the track, he would have nabbed those
fellows. With even the slightest OBJ
struction ON the track they would have
been unable to pass, and we could have
captured them

General Russell A. Ayers thorough
ness as a business man leads him to put
down in black and white every detail of
all matters in which he figures, of what
soever nature-good, bad or Indifferent.
This, of course, necessitates a series of
accounts and records which are far more
"private" than those which generally
are so denominated. General Alger has
one ledger which he himself keeps up to
date. Its covers are of metal, and the
book is closed by paddock, the key to
which always is carried by the general.

search?''
That science is now entering upon

great possibilities, +" replied Mr.. Edison,
is illustrated by the knowledge that
through the action Of the light stream
ing in upon our tables and pouring over
the sugar thereon some wonderful
change is brought about and that from
this sugar an unknown ray radiates out
into space and through our bodies, per-
haps, producing effects in them of
which we have no idea. -
Mr.. Edison took the reporter into the
room where the x ray experiments are
going on. There he introduced Mr.. Dali
by, who has been working continuously
for the last year with the Horoscope.
Mr.. Dalby's hands and arms were red
and covered with scales. He said that
two months ago his arms and hands had
swelled to double their normal size and
the finger nails had all fallen off
Since then he has been more cautious
with his experiments When too close
to the x ray bulbs the pain, he says,
comes out at once. While talking with
Mr.. Daily of this manifestation of the
power of the x rays Mr.. Edison sug
gested that possibly the rays might have
some action upon bacteria.

No, not yet" replied the wizard,

TRIBUTE TO THE QUEEN.
Stained Glass Window to BE Placed In a
New York Church.

New York Church.
AS tribute of respect to Queen Vic
toria, and in honor of the approaching
sixtieth anniversary of her accession to
the throne, the members of the Anglo
American Free Church of St. George the
Martyr propose to place handsome
stained glass window in the Church of
ST. John the Evangelist, i'll whose build
ing, at Waverley place and West Elew
enth street, New York, the former con-
gregation also worships. This parish
was organized in 1916 to build church
and hospital for British immigrants, and
it obtained grant of land on Fifth ave-
nue., between Fifty-fourth and Fifty
fifth streets, upon which to erect the
church and hospital.
This property was subsequently trans
ferred to St Luke s Hospital association,
part of the consideration for the trans
fer being that ward or wing capable
of holding 20 beds should be known
and designated as the ward of st. George
the Martyr For many years the con-
gregation worshiped here and there,
with no settled church of their own, I'M
til more than IL years ago they united
for worship with st. John the Evangel-
list the Rev. B. F. De Costa serving as
pastor to both congregations.
Ever since its foundation the people
of St George the Martyr have held the
queen of England in tender memory and
have set apart certain days for services
in her honor, notably on St Georges
day and the queen S birthday, when stat
ed prayers have been said This, so far
as is known, is the only church i'll the
United States where such recognition
takes place. 1t is hoped that the win
dow will have been completed so that it
may be put in position for the coming
anniversary. A large number of Anglo
Americans in New York have interest
ed themselves in the matter. - New

To Colonize Palestine.

Professor Richard Gottheil, lecturing
at Temple Emanuel, New York, ex-
pressed his belief that Palestine should
be colonized by Jews; that they are en-
tirely competent to make a strong agri-
cultural and industrial state, and that
the country can support such popula-
ton with ease, as it formerly did. He
has a further theory-that Palestine
ought to be made a purely independent
and neutral state which should become
court of arbitration for all nations.

but practical. -Springfield Republican.
