The Poet Lost His Head,

A little incident that took place the
other day at the main door Of the
house of representatives resulted in a
reduction in the house force by the dis
missal Of messenger. Senator
George of Mississippi, who speaks with
a broad Southern accent, walked over
to the house to see Congressman DinS-
more. AS he was about to pass
through the door, one Of the doorkeep-
ers. not knowing the Mississippi sen
ator. laid his hand on his arm and de-
tanned him.
Here. sir, are you representatives

"No. sah." replied Senator George,

States senate, and l want to see Rep.
resentative Dinsmore, sah.'
The doorkeeper was resident of the
Bowery district in New York, and had
cultivated grim sense of humor,
which he was in the habit Of exploiting
at the expense of men with peculiari.
ties. He promptly replied to the ven
cradle senator:
Representative Dinsmo': sab,
Is not upon the flo. sab;
He went home at half-past TO-. sab,
And won't be back 10 mo-, sab.

Reversed Writing.

The case Of John Ghidotti, six years
Of age. pupil at the North Adams
State Street school, is attracting con-
siderable attention in that city. The
hoy is considered a phenomenon by
some because every word he writes
and every figure he makes in school
are reversed. and look like the correct
writing viewed in mirror. The boy
uses his left hand and begins at the
wrong side OF the page. His teacher
has made every attempt to correct the
fault. but has not succeeded very we'll.
The boy has made correct letters, but
seemingly with as much difficulty as
one would have in initiating his mega
tive chirograDhy. The case has been
brought to the attention of Dr. G. w.
Wright of North Adams. who is sDe-
cialist on the eye. The doctor has not
met with any such case before. He
calls the CO.'S" q freak of nature, and

Safety ON Water and Land.

The British board Of trade has is.
sued a statement Of the number of
lives lost by accident in British mer'
chant ships during the past year.
This statement shows the average
loss to he about five-siXths of l pei
ccss Of the number Of men employed
The percentage of lives lost in sailing
vessels is somewhat larger than that
Of steamers.
There were 21S.224 men employed on
British ships registered in the United
Kingdom. OF these 56,O05 were en-
ployed on sailing ships and 162, 100 on
steamships. The latter suffered loss
of ST.; seamen and 81 passengers, max
ing a total of S47. Sailing vessels lost
1,U29 seamen and p passengers.
The British statement is interesting
in connection with the report of the
United States inspector general that
person is very much safer journeyine
on sea than on land, whether on bus
mess or pleasure bent.
According to this report, of 100000.
600 journeys made last year only 221
ended in a fatal accident. Otherwise

Mr.. ShOaf placed his hand on the in
dividual as soon as he saw the one to
answer the description. Mr. ShOaf ar
rested his man in the saloon. AS he
grabbed Garcia by the arm with his

right hand, for the officers had been

Great Jewish Festival Commemorate
ing Their Escape From Treachery.
On next Wednesday evening at sun
set the Hebrew feast of Esther or
Pur-im will begin in this city as in
every other city in the world, and it
will be appropriately observed by ev-
cry believer in the faith of Moses and
of David.
The feast begins on the evening of
the 18th day of the 18th month, Adar,
corresponding to the evening of March
18th of the Christian year.
The events leading up to this feast
of the Jews is fully described in the
book of Esther, one of the most beau
tifully written beautiful stories of the
historical Books of Books.
In the reign of King Ahaserus, his
prime minister and adviser was the
Agate Hman, who sought to advance
himself and ten sons to the highest po-
sition at court and becoming jealous
of the honest Jew MOrdecai, the father
of the good queen Esther, began in
intrigue ind thOrugh her father sought
self uSurp the throne and give his sons
the command of the rich provinces
held by the Jews.
He made secret preparations and
gave secret orders throughout the
land that the moment he seized the
throne in the kings own province Of
Shushan, the Jews in all the pro-
y-iDcnS chpTlI no SlonuhfaraH
MOrdecars triumphal day was to be
the signal, when his death by hang
ing at the command of the
king, whose mind Haman sought TO
poison against Modecais was to fol-
low.
Queen Esther early learned of the
intrigue and though here father sought
to foil him and save her people. She
informed the king and he issued a
proclamation nine months previous to
the fatal day. granting all his subjects
in every land the privilege of rising
on this day, the 18th day of the month
Adar and standing for their lives
against their enemies" Many of the
inhabitants of the provinces from
Ethiopia to India, learning of the in
tended uprising of the Jews, became
afraid and embraced the Jewish re-
ligiOn and were saved.
On the fatal day the subjects of
King Ahasuerus "stoOd for their lives
against their enemies" and slaughter

Esther then was granted her request
that another day, the 18th be also Civ

of her people and that the ten sons of
Haman be hung. On this day in
Shushan 500 more of the enemy were
slain, and then came the proclamation,

Jews should rest on the 18th day and
feast and celebrate their signal victory
