The Center liable.

Some one recently has spoken word
in favor of the old time center table,
and it would indeed be a good thing
could it be restored. The very presence
of its bright lamp, its periodicals and its
books suggests sociability and delightful
intercourse. The very opportunity it Of
fers for the drawing up of many chairs
is silent invitation, and it so possesses
a subtle charm that is all its own. What
we most need in our modern social life
are informal gatherings where compan-
ionship can be enjoyed without the
preparation and the fuss attendant upon
a dinner or reception And, as the
center table may properly be called a
promoter of just such happy homes, it
would be well were it once more given
q place.-Philadelphia Ledger.

SHE'S WELL EDUCATED.
A WOman Who Has Learned Entirely by
Careful Listening.

A woman Who Has Learned Entirely by
Careful Listening.
The wonderful development of certain
faculties in the cases of persons who
have lost the use Of some of their natural
functions, or of others whose faculties
have not been fully developed, has long
been matter of remark, but it is not
alone the outside observers who appre-
ciate the provisions of nature for the
benefit of the unfortunates The suffer
ers themselves often appreciate this full
ly, and in some instances, after years,
grow to depend so much upon their ac-
quired faculties as to be afraid Of
change, even if they have the chance of
one.
An illustration Of this is given by
woman in Brooklyn who never has
learned to read or write. In no way
could one discover this except by her
own admission or by putting her to a
direct test, for she is one of the best ed
ucated women in the country, CONVEX
SAINT with languages, art, literature and
all the current topics Of the day. She is
rich, too, and could afford all the serv-
ices of the best teachers if she but chose
to learn to read, but she refuses to do so.
When this woman was a child, her
parents lived far from schools, so she
had no chance then to learn to read or
write. AS a mere child she began to
earn her own living, and again the
chance for schooling slipped away. Then
she married and the cares of a family
took up her time. By the time the ba-
bies were off her hands, her husband
had grown rich, and then she began her
real education, and now, as widow,
she continues it. Her companions read
to her and talk with her about all the
topics which interest her. Years of such
work have stored her mind with rich
treasure of knowledge, and there is not
a page of a book that has been read to
her that she is not familiar with Her
stores of knowledge are at her instant
command. Why will she not learn to
read? Because, she says, she fears that
this wonderful memory, which is now
such a treasure house to her, might be
impaired if she were to do anything to
weaken the demands upon it.
What such a memory can do is well
illustrated in the case of a tailor of this
city who cannot read or write. He is
probably the most widely known man
in his business here, as for many years
he has done business with New York's
flremen and policemen. Almost every
man of these two bodies has dealings
with this tailor, and each month be-
tween the first and the tenth days he
visits every station house and engine
and truck house in this city to collect
his dues. He has acquired considerable
wealth, and it is said of him that in all
the years he has dealt with the firemen
and policemen he never was known to
make mistake of cent in any man S
account, although all his records Of
transactions have been kept in his head.

SIG Of Che Conversational Llbrarx.

Founded in the year 1900 by the mod
est appropriation Of So, 900 for the pur-
chase of such books as may be necessary
for the use of congress at the said city
of Washington, this collection has
grown, Notwithstanding the ravages of
two fires, to the present aggregate of
100000 volumes. The acquisition of
the Jefferson library in 1915, the Force
Historical library in 1865, the Smith
sonian library in 1867 and the Toner
collection in 1882, all constituted spe-
cially important and valuable accessions
to its stores And by the enactment of
the copyright law of 1870, followed by
the international copyright act of 1891,
this library became entitled to receive
two copies of all books, periodicals and
other publications claiming the protec-
ton of copyright in the United States.

Mr.. Rosewater, the proprietor of The

Wnen she found entreaty was in vain,
the devoted woman mounted her pony
and rode with the i'll fated party to the
place of meeting.
The story of that meeting has been
told many times When Meacham was
attacked by the bloodthirsty Sconchin,
Wi-ne-ma threw herself ON the savage
and begged him to spare the life of her
white friend. Others coming up, Wine
ma ran from warrior to warrior. turn-
ing aside their weapons. At last one Of
many bullets struck Meacham senseless.
and the quick witted squaw turned
aside the weapon aimed to finish his
life, with the words, Him dead; no
use shoot. p" Sconchin tried to scalp
Meacham, when Wi-ne-ma grasped the
knife The enraged buck struck her
terrible blow, almost knocking her
senseless. Again the wit of the woman
came into play. 1.-The soldiels are COM
ing upP' she cried, and the next mo-
ment detachment of troops did appear.
Amid curses from the enraged troopers,
a dozen weapons were leveled at the
breast of the brave squaw. Looking the
mounted men straight in the face, she
cried: No shoot mel / tried to save
themp' Then came from the ranks the
words of an enlisted man, 1.-THE man
who harms her I'll kill. -
The same day Wi-ne-ma's husband.
Riddle, was riding horseback and was
shot dead from ambush by a Modoc.
The body was dragged many miles over
the trail by the frightened horse. When
the horse stopped, the head ard shout
ders of the cOprse were so horribly mu-
tlIated that the body was unrecogniza-
bic. Then the three little children of
Wi-ne-ma and Riddle were murdered as
they slept and their bodies burned in
the rude family dwelling. Wi-ne-ma.

The History of Taoitus.

The entire history of Tacitus, as we
have the work, was regained from sin
gle copy found in the fifteenth century
in monastery of Westphalia. That we
thould owe the works of this author to
one copy is a remarkable circumstance,
for the Emperor Tacitus, who claimed
to be a descendant of the historian, had
copies of the history placed in every Ii
brary Of the empire, and each year had
ten copies transcribed for presentation to
scholars. All, it seems, persisted save
the Westphalian copy.

MIGRATION.

Through the autumn woods the shadows grow
And wider and deeper the streamlets flow;
No sound but the ripping waters heard,
Or the faint low twitter Of some lone bird,
Belated, forgotten and wondering why
His mate bad deserted him-he must fly,
For rude winds are tossing the trees o'erhsad
And scattering the leaves of golden red
That cling as they fall to ferns pale grown,
Cream tinted, like old lace some queen had
worn.
So away from this scene to cheerier one
The lone bird flies with the setting sun
And rests midst the boughs of old oak trees,
Where Spanish moss swings in the soft, warm
breeze.
There in dreams he forgets his snow bound
nest
Till spring comes again-then home is best.
And with wings outspread he wanders hence
Till he finds the maple tree close by the fence,
Where year after year his mate and he
Have reared their brood In the same old tree.

THE ROBINS FUNERAL.

Take him gently, lay him low,
Where the pale primroses blow.
By and by will come the snow.
But today the green things grow.
Make his grave.
He will hear no sounds Of spring,
Fairy blossom bells that ring,
Streams that murmur, birds that sing
For he knows not anything.
Make his grave.
Happy in the happy May,
Wooing with his roundelay,
His brown mate but yesterday,
Blithe he sang-ah, none so gayi
Make his grave.
Spring without him comes and goes.
And the royal summer grows
Glad with lily and with rose;
Autumn ripens, winter SHOWS
Round his grave.

State to celebrate this great indus

Worlds Fair at Chicago. All who

"the Athens Of the South" during

State day and help keep up the
honor Of our grand old Common
wealth. The Governor and his
staff and many Of the State officials
aud other prominent citizous will
be there, and public exercises will
be held in the auditorium. Quite
an elaborate program has been pre-.
pared for the occasion. Speeches
