James Whitcomb Riley began his
career in a newspaper office in Ander-

time he wrote many rhymes with the
serious intention of having them, if
possible, recognized as poems. But he

when I'd stand up and read 'em to

ser dialect was too '1ow down" for
the average magazine editor
Finally in a freak of boyish indig
nation-to prove that what editors
really wanted was not originality but
imitation-he devised the scheme of
writing a poem in imitation of Poe
and of palming it off on the public as
real poem of Poe's recently discovered.

planned and very deftly executed and
successful beyond anything the clever

seat bOrHaS the W1reSs
A little 13-year-old Pawnee county
miss, Bertha Leonard, has lately given
the Western Union and Postal Tele-
graph companies an unlimited amount
of trouble in a most unique and pc
culiar way. Bertha's daily duty was
to herd and watch a large drove of
her fathers cattle, whose range was
near the Western Union and postal
telegraph lines.
For some time past at irregular in
tervals during almost every day these
lines absolutely failed to work, and
the trouble seemed to be somewhere
in the vicinity Of where this girl
ranged her fathers cattle, but, try as
the line reDairers would it could not
be definitely located. Finally it was
discovered that BERTHA, in order to get
better view of the herd, had driven
railroad spikes into telegraph pole,
so that she could climb it, and that
she would, whenever she got weary
watching the cattle from the ground.
climb the pole, pull up board by
means of cord, place it across the
wires, seat herself Oh the board, and
spend an hour or two watching the
herd from her uniquely improvised
elevated station. Whenever the board
happened to be damp or wet, and the
frequent rains this year have kept the
board wet most all the time, it de-
stroyed the electric circuit and prac-
tically cut off all communication be-
tween Denver and Kansas City.
When discovered and informed of
the damage she was doing to the bust
ness of the telegraph lines, Bertha was
greatly surprised, and was apparently
utterly ignorant of the fact that her
seat on the wires interfered in the
slightest degree with the working Of
the lines.-Kansas City Times.

subject of modern implements of wal
careful consideration. THE war has

is that future warfare will be depend
ent upon the ear and not upon the
eye. The use of smokeless powder has
placed a new element in the art of
war. Heretofore the smoke of the
enemy's guns has been depended upon
to give the location of their forces,
but now that is left entirely to the
ear. This has been most plainly de-
monstrated. But the training of the
ear can be accomplished to a very deli
cate point. Just as a musicians ear
is trained to distinguish the slightest
changes in Tone so will that of the
future soldier be trained to accurately
detect just how far and from what
direction the enemy is firing. 1t will
necessitate the Introduction of new
methods of drilling and training, but
it is capable of very high develop

Thirty-Six Years As IA Prisoner Preferable
To Two Hours Hiding.
The writer remembers once riding
out of San Francisco over the South
ern Pacific in a day coach that was
like the land of fire, the month being
August. At an outer station of the
city of Oakland man who looked poor
but not proud, came aboard, and max
ing down the aisle, ducked under two
seats which were set back to back.
Some poor devil who is broke and
wants to beat his way out of this burn
ing country" one of the other pas
sengers said. Lets help him.
So when the conductor came in ev-
cry one of us found something wrong
with his ticket and kept the official
angrily busy for half an hour longer
than his usual time, so that he had to
bolt without wasting a moment in
looking for stowaways. At Port Costa
we began to hear labored breathing
under the seat and twenty miles fur
Their there was an eruption and out of
the volcano of overturned cushions
came our hidden protege.

sentenced to forty years at San Quen-
tin I thought 1t was tough, and at the
first chance l broke. If | could only
reach Sacramento would be all right,
for l have friends there. But, gentle
men, without consulting the map,
believe l am safe in saying that Sac
ramento is at least two hours distant.
l have only a mere bagatelle of thirty
six years to put in at the prison, and
l think that, after all, considering the
weather and two more hours under
them seats, I'll just sit up here like
gentleman and meet Sheriff Bill Brice
when he comes aboard and go back
to the easy job. l prefer the thirty
six years to the two hours. Chicago

Its Curious Features. Long and Ted

A Dutch wedding is a portentious
business. Smart Holland does it's de-
votions in barnlike French Protestant
churcres. The wedding service is
mournful to degree, and lasts two
hours. The bridegroom, in full even
ing dress, and the bride, in orthodox
white satin, sit upon chairs in front of
the black-robed minister. He delivers
ans extempore address fairly bristling
with personalities. Meanwhile rela-
tives sob in pews, until finally every
one who can prove the remotest con-
nection with the bride kisses her.
Next follows a tremendous break.
fast in French style. 1t is ''de rig
ueur" for all the friends of the bride
to send her in the morning a bouquet
or basket of white flowers plentifully
ribboned. With numbers of these a
very gay effect is produced, though the
Dutch are lamentably behind the
rimes in table decoration and posey-
making. With the advent of the "hors
d'oeuvre" come speeches. The
brides brother or other delegate first
rings a small hahdbeli. Then. amid
silence broken by The cheerful click
ing of knives and forks, a health is
proposed Then comes a quaint post
script to this very ordinary ceremonial.
Ladies and gentlemen must alike rise
from their seats and, solemnly filling
up to the person toasted, touch his
glass with their own. After score
of speeches the thing gets monoton-
Gus, but it is carried out to the bite,
end. Any person omitted would feel
aggrieved. In Holland it is the fami-
ly before everything. A leading bar
rister was recently compelled 10
