A Joke By Gen. Robert e. Lee.

After the war, says the Baltimore Amer
lean, Gen. Robert E. Lee, when college
president, was vestryman of Grace Epis-
copal church. Gen. Pendleton was rec
tor and Gen. Smith vestryman. Smith
was not on agreeable terms with Pendle-
ton, and complained to the officers of the
church that the cadets, among them his
own son, were deserving the church of their
fathers and that no persuasion could keep
them from attending DR.. Pratt's church
(Presbyterian). DR.. Pratt had a very
beautiful daughter, Grace, and, while Gen.
Smith was pushing his objections to the
rector, Gen. Lee, with a twinkle in mis-
eye, said to Smith: General, possibly the
magnet which attracts your son is not so
much the Doctors eloquence as the doc
tors Grace" The point silenced Gen.
Smith

A Boys King,

S. e. Klser in Cleveland Leader.
My papa, he's the bestest man
What ever lived, bet
And 1 amt never seen no one
AS smart as he is yet.
Why, he knows everything almost,
But mamma says that he
Amt never been the President
And that surprises me.
And often papa talks about
How he must work away
He's got to toll for other folks
And do what others say;
And that's thing that bothers me-
When he's so good and great,
He ought, I think, at least to be
The Gov'nor of the Stated
He knows the names of lots of stars,
And he knows all the trees.
And he can tell the different kinds
OF all the birds he sees,
And he can multiply and add
And figure in his head
They might have been some smarter men
But bet you they are dead.
Once when he thought wasn't near
He talked to mamma then
And told her how he hates to be
The slave of other men,
And how he wished that he was rich
For her and me-and
Don't know what made me do 1t, but
l had to go and cry!
And so when / sat on his knee
/ asst him: rs 1t true
That you're a slave and have to toll
When others tell you tor"
You are so big and good and wise,
You surely ought to be
The President, instead of just
A slave. 1t seems to me-"
And then the tears came in his eyes,
And he Rugged me tight and said:
why. no. my dear, I'm not a slave
What put that in your head?
/ am a King-the happiest King
That ever yet held sway,
And only God can take my throne
And my little realm awayg'

Taxing Mems Legs.
From the Chicago Times-Herald Qnt

Though the bicycle tax In Chicago was
adjudged illegal on other grounds, very
ingenious plea for that vehicle as a mere
adjunct TO mans legs Is put forth by
w. II. Hicks in the current issue of the
North American Review. AS foot cover
ing-the boot or the shoe-enables one to
walk better, the bicycle enables him to
walk faster. The right to tax the bicycle
is the right to tax the shoe.
The bicycle. to the ordinary man, is the
same as the crutch to the cripple. The
proposed bicycle skate shows more clearly
the close connection between the foot and
the wheel
If this be true, then, of course, there is
no more reason for taxing bicycles in or
der to build roadways or even bicycle
paths than there is to tax shoes in order
to build sidewalks.

Jose Ventre, the alleged Barcelona an

this country by immigration Commissioner
Powderly. Ventre was expelled from
Spain, which would not have occurred if
the government could have found any

the garrote; and in dealing with anarch-
lists the governments of Europe do not re-
quire a great deal of evidence, either 1t

that there have not been a great many

healthy, the plan of drainage Of lands con-

must be carried to completion and kept in

"MOW is YOUR LIVER ?"

This was the morning salutation in "Mer-
rie old England, for If your liver was all
right nothing else could be wrong. These
high-living old fellows appreciated the fact
that their pleasures of the table depended
on the condition of the liver. And it's true
today-if the liver becomes affected the
entire system suffers and peace of mind
and body are gone.
THE LIVER'S FUNCTION
Is to furnish natures laxative and to aid
In the digestion of the food. 1t also has a
sugar-forming function, and makes quite
q respectable quantity of liver sugar to be
used in the human system. But the real
work of the liver is to make and secrete
bile Juice.
HOW BILE AIDS DIGESTION.
This bile secretion is collected in the liver
cells and ducts and passes out of the liver
into the gall bladder. From this point it
passes into the small intestines near the
stomach. In the small intestine it meets
the food from the stomach and begins its
digestive action. The starchy and fatty
foods are not digested by the stomach

TOTEMS
The student of Alaskan ethnology
flpds no subject more interesting than
the totems of these people. In front Of
+. their leading houses, and at their burial
I places are trees. often from forty to fifty
feet high. They are sawed off and sunk
+. in the ground and carved in strange and
rude fashion. They take the place Of
books and histories, as heraldry used to
do. They are the genealogical records of
Z the family. The child usually takes the
! totem of the mother. At the bottom of
1.-The post may be carved whale, above
It a raven. wolf, an eagle. This shows
the dwellers Of the house on the moth
er's side belonged to the whale family,
the grandfather rlto the raven family, the
father to the wolf family and the present
dweller to the eagle family. All this is
easily read by one versed in totem lore
as an alliance on coat Of arms is read
by heralds.

DEClMATIoN OF THE NOBILITY

Special Correspondence to The Herald.
PARIS. May 1o-Paris. the city of the
living, still wears the air of city of the
dead. Not since the days Of the COM
mune has the light Of life been snuffed
out at one time for so many members
of the aristocracy of France. The ca
BILE has told much of the horror that
wraps the French metropolis about, but
no words can describe, no pen can do
justice to the fearful grief which per-
vades everything. Even the Latin Quar-
tier bears a funeral aspect.
The burning of the charity bazaar will
be as memorable an event in the history
of France, SO far as the interest of
Frenchmen Is concerned las that Of the
fall Of the Bastile. In the days when
Rohespierre. Danton, Marat had titled
heads chopped of as easily as the farm
ers boy chops kindling wood, there were
few prouder names than those which
figure in the death list Of the charity
bazaar The Duchess d 'Alencon was the
most notable of the victims. Think of
the nobility in which she shared. The
empress of Austria was her sister. She
was the wife Of Prince Ferdinand of Or
leans, second son of the late Duo de Me-
mours, the elder brother Of the Prince de
Joinville and the Due d'Aumale. The
duchesse was fifty years old and was
widely. known In literature. although
she had never given any book Of her own
composition to, the world. The dlichesse
will be remembered by Americans just
SO long as the memory Of the bazaar fire
exists, for 1t was with her that the most
prominent American woman present was
chatting when the flames first made their
appearance.
The Baronne de Mackau, a victim Of the
flames, was the wife Of Ferdinand Ar
Inand de Mackau, son of celebrated
admiral. whose name is among the
brightest in the galaxy Of French heroes.
Another victim was the Comtesse de St,
Perier. She was the leader Of that rem
nant Of titled aristocracy which forms
part of the old Faubourg Saint Ger
main. she was the hostess OF a literary
salon, for the Comte de Mohtesquin, who
is her nephew, assembled every week
the poets Of the French academy. She
had much influence In the academy elec-
tions. and the candidate she favored was
sure Of victory. Her husband. who per-
ished with her, waS q veteran Of the
Franco Prussian. war and wore the CROSS
Of the Legion of Honor.
The Baronne Caruel de Saint Martin
was the wife Of . leading Bonapartist Of
France. Both she and her husband were
known wherever France was known, be-
cause Of their refusal to contribute to
what u known - the popet pence. In
pteid Of making this contribution, they

lesson, too, like the old-fashioned Sum
day school book, where the good are re-.
warded and the evil punished.
GRAVE TOTEMS
Besides the totem poles In front Of the
residences, are the grave totems where
the carved en1b1ems are full Of ominous
significance. Sometimes the manner OF
death is indicated on the pole. perpat-
ual memorial OF the fate Of the one
whose ashes repose In the square box
underneath, for the Alaskans often Gre
mate their dead, and place the ashes
above the ground in rude boxes.
DRESS OF MEDICINE MAN.
Mr.. Shull has in his collection some Of
the hideous ornaments of the medicine
man. that omnipresent conundrum who
frightens away bodily ailments. There
is frightful looking headgear Of hid
eous device, curiously carved mask
surmounted with eagle feathers; there
is necklace Of polished bone pendants;
