The First Steam Power.

The power of steam was known to
Hero Of Alexandria, who exhibited what
seems from the description to have been
a small steam engine to Ptolemy Phila-
delphus and his court about 100 B. @.
Pliny describes a small boat, built by q
magician" Of Rome, which moved by
means of q wheel, "driven by a pot Of
hot water" Watts invention Of q ro-
tary steam engine was patented in 1859.
The first railway locomotive was built
by Trevithick in 1904. The first prac-
tical locomotive was perfected by Ste
phenson in 1929. AS early as 1907 Denys
Papin built q model Of a steamboat,
which was destroyed by a mob Of boat
men. The first practical steamboat was
built by William Symington in 1902.
In 1908 Robert Fulton, in connection
with Chancellor Livingston, built a
steamboat which was tried on the Seine.
In 1907 the Clermont began trips from
New York to Albany.

So if you want to have the history of
the race completely sketched out in your
little LIE, you will have to press back
your fierce temper and your desire to be
in a big army in a fight. Yet I am going
to tell you there were fights in fairy
times and there are fights now. People
fight now with their heads instead Of
their arms, and you, if you expect to win
the full power of manliness, must prepare
to fight too. Wise men say that all the
struggles Of the past have helped to
make men determined, and that if some
form of fighting were not continued on
the earth, we should drop back and be-
come lazy, good-for-nothing people.
What is the fighting l am talking
about 1t can be easily told to you.
Look around your school. There are rs,
so, perhaps a hundred boys there. They
all will need to earn a living in some way
or another. Your fight is to train your
brain so that not one of them can get
ahead of you, or cheat you, or laugh at
you for being foolish. Surely you do not
want to be without a good head and a
good store in it. There are such they
are the sort that always have time to
watch the train come in but never find
time to work; the sort that rather than
plow or chop wait around post Offices to
look for letters when they know no one
ever thinks Of writing to them.
Brains tell, dear boys; and the more
boys there are in the world, the sharper
becomes the fighting for any positions
that open. In the country the fight is
on just as it is in the city. There the
farmer with good brains beats the
slouchy one, whether the weather be fine
or not there the store keeper with brains
makes an honest profit and lives, while
the foolish one is sold out by the sheriff.
Times are now so peaceful that you do
not need to think how to save your own
life by taking some one else's away. You
have, therefore, much more time than
the boys Of long ago to prepare for the
battles without blood. The schools, too,
for training you to the struggle Of brains
are SO much better than they used to be,
that you have no excuse for being any
thing but a good soldier.

well, but they sometimes fail to reach
the brain. For two weeks more l shall
write to you about "battles;' and in
such a way, | hope, that the men in your
family will not lose anything by reading
the articles too.

Don't think because you are sick and
nothing seems to give you relief that you
can't be cured.
There must be a cure for you some
where. t.al ND.E
Ifyour doctor can't cure you, perhaps
he has mistaken the cause. Anybody is
liable to make a mistake sometimes.
One in three of us suffer from indiges-
ton, and one out of three dyspeptics
doesn't know it. That is, he may know
he is sick, but he blames it to something
else. oa
Indigestion is the cause of half Of our
dangerous diseases.
Shaker digestive cordial, made from
tonic medicinal roots and herbs, is the
most natural cure for indigestion. 1t
relieves the symptoms and cures the
disease gently, naturally, efficiently, Civ
ing fresh life, strength and health to
sick dyspeptics.

Ovation to Bryan.

Topeka, Has, Feb. 19.-Wm. J.
Bryan. accompanied by his wife and
child, arrived mere at o'clock this
afternoon under the escort of the
legislative committee which met
them at Kansas City. The party
were driven to the National Hotel,
around which hundreds of people
filled the streets and blocked the en-
trance. When Bryan appeared, bed
lam reigned and it was with difficulty
that the Nebraskan was enabled to
enter the hotel to reach his room. In
response to repeated cries, he soon
appeared on the veranda and made a
few remarks. A reception was held
at 3 D. NJ. also. The streets were
filed with enthusiasts and he deliv-
cred brief speech. At 7:3O in the
evening Mr. Bryan was driven to the
capitol and spoke before the Legis-
lature, which had assembled in joint
session. The audience, besides in
Guiding all representatives, numbered
the judges Of the different courts and
mary distinguished politicians from
all over the State.

A Queer Case.

New York, February 1S.-Charles
Anderson applied today for a war
rant for the arrest of Mrs. Susie
Kuper, who, he claims, holds him
under hypnotic spell. Anderson is
a middle aged man and Mrs. kuper
is only "a years old. Both parties
live in Brooklyn. Andersons story
is weird. He declares that the wo-
man administered a drug to him,
and ever since he has been her slave.
Last fall he was ready to sail for
Europe: and he says Mrs. huper
command him to stay at home. he
was obliged to obey. Offers Of mar
rage, as a means of escaping this
spell, according to Anderson, were
utterly refused. The warrant was
refused but Anderson was advised to
consult lawyer.

on the first Sunday in this month.
His earnest appeal was no doubt
carried home to the hearts of his hear

our doors are ever open to his calls.
Mr.. A. I. Lindler, we are glad to
say, is up again after having his
arm omputated. He has suffered
much and is rather feeble yet. His
many friends and soldier comrade
will no doubt be glad to meet him
again, but, alas! the warm grasp o
his strong and manly right hand IS
severed and is no longer as it was in
the days of yore.

She mastered the art of saying
pleasant words.
She did not expect too much from
her friends.

pointed to bright colored flower
growing just under the water. 1t
had a thick stem and a crown of a
beautiful pink leaves.

He touch the thing, and in minute
all the long leaves had curled up and
it looked like an ugly knob. The
children watched and presently it
uncurled again, the stem swelled and
it was a wide open flower.
"Can flower eat?" asked papa.
Look here!7 He caught a little
shrimp, and dropped it just over
the pink leaves or tendrils, and
would you believe it?-they snatched
the shrimp and suched it down into
the middle where papa said it would
be digested.
You see this animal, which men
call the sea anemone, has no eyes or
ears. but it saw and heard the shrimp

deep pool, and when Mike reached this
place his blood was warm and he
concluded to take bath.
After making the usual prepara-
tions he plunged into the bracing
water and was reveling in the luxury
of it's cooling and refreshing effects,
when to his surprise and consterna-
ton the tarnation bull appeared on
the scene with his tongue hanging
out two feet, lashing his sides with
his tail, believing and paving the
earth. With one loud and frightful
roar which made the earth tremble
and brought all four of the Deacons
dogs yelping to the scene, the bull
bounced in after Mike, who stood not
on the order of taking his departure
but scrambled to the bank as fast
and as best he could, took nearby
tree, the bull following in hot pur-
suit eager to assist Mike in his aero
batic feats with the tips of his horns.
Safely seated at last out of the reach
of the bull, Mike was congratulating
on his troubles over and thinking Of
the narrow escape he had made,
when be was startled by an omnious
buzzing sound. Turning around to
learn the cause he touched a large
honest's nest and the disturbed in
sects, highly indignant at this in
trusion upon their privacy, poured
out upon his naked back. Mike
jumped astride the bull and the
pesky hornets began to sting old
brindle, when off he galloped, with
tail straight in the air, che whaop on
a bee line for Deacon Smiths. The
dogs yelling, the hornets buzzing
and the bull believing made such
a confusion of sounds that brought
all seven Of the Deacon's gals to the
front porch just as this charming
circus passed by. The bull making
around the barn lot at the rate OF
ten miles an hour came dashing past
the porch again, and kicking up his
heels, the cussed beast dumped

girls. Uugh! boys, don't you pity
