\ Short Cut.

There Is no Easy path TO fame.
The hero grim and gray,
Who in the battle gained'a name,
Is happy to display
A single medal. It's enough
To tell in language proud
That he Is made OF better stuff
Than the adm.r.ng crowd.
That Is the theory. But In fact
The young man OF today
Applause and tributes may exact
Nor yield for such delay.
When medals he Is fam TO seek
He shuns the plans OF yore
a century run" he makes each week
And wins them by the score.

Almanac, ssThe Old Yellow Almanac" OF
the poem, is intimately associated with the
days and deeds Of a large part OF the worlds

of antiquity, especially the patent medi-

they frst appeared. But there are almanaes
and almanacs. Ever since DR.. Ayers
Almanac has been put out II has employed
as high class OF mathematical and assro-
nomical talent as Is available In the country.
The result is that It stands on q par, IN
respect Of the reliability OF its data and the
accuracy Of its calculations with the q. s.
Nautical Almanac, and testimony to this fact
b found year after year in the letters, re-
ferred TO the almanac department Of the

In various parts Of the world. In its per-

Red Rocks Mark Her Grave.

In sight of the Erie tracks, between
Susquehanna and Great Bend, are the
cred Rocks" red cliff standing
above the Susquehanna River. Near
them can be seen traces of the grave
of a beautiful Indian maiden, the
daughter of famous chief. She was
betrothed to young brave, mem
ber of the fathers tribe, then en-
camped near here. Her father de-
sired her to marry the son of the
chief of the nelghborlng tribe, and
the wish of the paternal ancestor
usually counted for something.
In consequence, she resolved to fly
to the "happy hunting grounds" and
one night she stole noiselessly from
her wigwam, and, with the death song
upon her lips, flung herself from the
high cliff, her life's blood staining the
rocks below, and to that day have re-

and floods of century have failed to

Ancient Tabular Boilers.

Examination of certain bronze YES
sells exhumed at Pompeii has revealed
that the Greeks and Romans made use,
2U0O years ago, of the tubular form OF
boiler construction, which modern en-
gineers reinvented not many years ago,
and which is row regarded as one OF
their crowning achievements. These
old contrivances were not designed to
stand steam pressure, of course, their
purpose being merely to heat water or
wine, but several of them are provid.
ed with real water CRATES and other
tubes to facilitate the rapid circulation
of the contained liquid and increase
