with the Introduction of polygamy.
The revelations given in the church
during this century refute it. Plural
marriage was brought about by the
Utah Mormons eight years after the

warrant for it in the scripture. 1t was
the conception of the carnal minds and

WASHINGTON, February 14.-The
resigna' ion of Secretary of State
JOAN Sherman, is expect d at any time
aow unless that gentleman refuses to
accede to the wishes of his family and
friends. The situation is mbarraes-
ing, for all concerned and is accentust-
ed by the turn in the De LONE affair in
which the cabinet officer was not con-
suited, but vas kept more in the dark
as to the action of his department than
two-thlrds of the people OF Washing
ton. This is painfully apparent by iu-
terviews with S'.erman. The slight
illness f the secretary does not justify
such treatment by the president, his
friends say. He should at least have
been consulted formally. His family
therefore urges that be resign as soon
as possible after the Incident blows
over, as comment is becoming too
strong to be further IGNORED. It is
common talk in official cir cles that his
resignation is expected ma no pains
are taken to deny it. 1t woui.i relieve
the president. That Judge Day will
succeed to the position is almost cer-
tain.

Striking Eject of Climate.

Occasionally an eloquent testimonial
to the virtues of a "health resort" fails
to find a place in the printed matter
sent out by the hotel keepers or others
interested in the prosperity of the place.
A railway president who had gone to
one OF the summer resorts of the north
west to spend few weeks was sitting
on the veranda Of hotel enjoying the
lake scenery and his cigar when he
was accosted by resident boomer"
with the remark:
You'll find the air here full of ozone,
sir. You'll sleep like log. Before you
have been hero a week you will gain
ten pounds or I miss my guess, and
Pm generally right"
Il don't doubt it, - replied the rail-
way magnate. II gained eight pounds
the very first day"
THAT beats the record,' said the
boomer, slightly dazed, but recover
ing himself promptly, Though I've
known instances almost equal to it. -

pounds. 1 weighed myself on a nickel
in the slot machine at the railway sta
tion when I landed here, and the in
dicator pointed to 157. An hour later
L stepped on the same kind of machine
at the hotel, and the figure was 165.

The Africnn pinnn

Among the musical instruments used
on the Congo we notice the long and
short drum. Some drums are used to
beat the time Of the dance. Some other
drums are used as telephones for the
transmission Of messages to neighbor-
ing villages. The stringed instruments
represent the African harp The ivory
horns are used for the convocation Of
popular assemblies. The double bell is
used to call the attention of the people
to some proclamation of the chief. The
Africans everywhere are very musical,
but their music does not always suit
European taste.
The African dance is not always in
dulged in for amusement alone. Dane
ing enters into some Of the most solemn
ceremonies, as, for instance, the in
auguration Of a new king. Then the
chief elect of the tribe dances very
gravely before the assembled elders and
the people.
The madimba had been called the
African piano. 1t is made of calabashes
Of graded sizes, which are surmounted
by boards, of graded sizes also, all be-
ing attached to a semicircular frame.
Each board represents note or half
tone and emits its appointed sound
when struck by one of the two rubber
balls at the ends Of two sticks, which
are cleverly handled by the musician.
While almost every native can beat the
drum or play some Of the minor musical
instruments, the playing Of the madim-
ba is an art which only few special
lists learn. They must be paid for play
ing at festivities or ceremonies, and
their art supports them, either partly
or entirely.-Journal of American FolB

REACHED FAME AT BOUND.
How the Famous Dialect Novelist Made
His First Hit.


The man who had sprung into sudden
prominence i'll the literary world had
| grown a trifie reminiscent under the
influence Of a good cigar and small
bottle, and one of the members of the
party decided that there could be no
better time to get the story Of his re-
markable success.
Il do not recall that any one ever be-
came more suddenly famous in the lit
erary world than you,' suggested the
curious one.
81 imagine that came very close to
breaking a record, replied the literary
light.
"One day you were unknown, and
the next day every literary critic in the
country was singing your praise and
people were standing i'll line to buy
your books, " continued the curious one.
"Quite true, admitted the literary
light. my reputation was made by
single story, and that story might be
called an accident. "
That's what want to get at, " ex-
! planned the curious one Il want to
hear the story of that story. Where did
you get the idea and what impelled you
to write it? What was your inspira-
tion?"
The literary light laughed and reached
for his glass.
'TLe secret Of that story is soon
told, " he said as soon as the glass was
empty. "YOu see, 1 had a typewriter. -
Young and pretty?" they all broke
in.
Machine, not operator" " explained
the literary light. Machine was all
could afford at that time, and l had to
get that on the installment plan. ran
it myself, you know"
'Well? Go on. "
Zone day l thoughtlessly went out
without putting the cover on it, and
my 5-year-old boy got at it. .
Couldn't run it, could he?" they
asked.
"Of course not, but I'd let him help
me put the paper in and take it out un-
til he had mastered that much of the
operation of the machine, and as the
click Of it pleased him and there was
no one there to stop him he hammered
away at it for about two hours. "
" But what has that to do with your
stOry?"
THAT was the story" answered the
literary light. "When 1 saw what he
had done, l gathered the pages to-
gether numbered them, got up title
and sent the whole thing to a leading
magazine with note saying that it
was dialect story Of a Scotch Welsh
settlement that got mixed up with the
Dutch in South Africa, and-well,

TELLS A LONG STORY. :
a Granite Monument at Antietam Re-
calls Family History.

Major Kingsbury had a daughter as
we'll as the son who fell at Antietam.
The daughter married Simon Bolivar
Buclner Of Kentucky some time before
the war. When General Buclmer decided
to go with the Confederacy, the danger
of confscatiOn of his wife's interest in
the Chicago estate confronted him. A
family council resulted in the transfer of
Mrs Buckner's property to her brother.
Colonel Kingsbury fell in battle with
out leaving q will to protect his sisters
inheritance. When the war closed, the
return of Mrs. BuclIner's interest in her
fathers estate was asked for in behalf
of her children. Mrs Kingsbury de-
Clined to c0ncede it. She claimed all
that had been left in her husband S
name for her son and herself. Litiga-
ton followed and dragged along for
years. Major Kingsbury S 40 acres were
in the heart of Chicago when the fire
occurred.
In the years Immediately following
the war Washington had few women
more talked about than the beautiful
widows, Mrs. Becky Jones and Mrs.
Kingsbury, the nieces of an ex-presi-
dent of the United States. Mrs. Kings
bury became the wife of Gallatin Law
renee, son of one of the wealthiest
manufacturers i'll Rhode Island. Gala
tin Lawrence had chosen a diplomatic
career. He was sent to Costa Rica as
minister. When he came back, society
at the capital had a great sensation over
Che talk of a duel between Minister
Lawrence and Captain Won der Hass Of
the Belgian legation because of the cap
tain's attentions to the beautiful Mrs
Lawrence. The Belgian sailed for Eu-
rope. So did Mrs. Lawrence. Gallatin
Lawrence followed There was a duel
and then a divorce case. Won der Hass
went to Egypt. Mrs. Lawrence went
there too. Gallatin Lawrence returned
to the States.
The son of Colonel Kingsbury was
sent to Oxford His inheritance was cut
in two by decision restoring to her
heirs Mrs. Bucllner's share in the 40
acres One day young Kingsbury came
home from Oxford, bringing a college
and Mrs. Lawrence an attachment
quickly developed. Mrs. Lawrence was
twice the age Of her son's S chum. She
married him and is, Or was the last that
friends in this country learned, living
with him abroad. Kingsbury married a
