A TINY RESERVATION.
william Pcnn.s Indian Tract StilI
Preserved In Philadelphia.

| william Pcnn.s Indian Tract StilI
J Preserved In Philadelphia.
| Philadelphia contains one relic of the
days of William Penn which is un-
known to most inhabitants of the Quak-
er City. 1t is a small portion of ground
which still retains by virtue of pro-
vision in the charter it's original charac-
ter. Right in the heart of the business
section of the city it lies, the only place
for miles around that bears no foot
prints of the march of progress and COM
meroe, the only building lot in the city
which has never been near the hands of
u real estate agent.
You have but to go down Walnut
street to Second, turn up Second until
you come to little iron gate ON the
east side of the street, swing it back and
, enter and you stand within the Indian
reservation.
In the days when Philadelphia used
! to be the metropolis of the red men, and
they came by various trails across the
country and down the Delaware to hold
council there, it grew necessaryfor them
to have some appointed spot for their
concIaves. William Penn dedicated this
reservation to them as a trysting place
and provided that it should be sacred to
their use forever.
1t is a foreign enough place now,
shut in as it is by high buildings on
nearly every side. The old Union Tele-
graph Office confronts it on one side,
wholesale liquor dealers store backs up
against it on another, and high board
fence chokes off the last hope Of any
outlook from the place.
There is no mark to tell Of it's original
use or to stamp it as one OF the curiosi-
ties of the day. Ones only solace for
his grievance is to imagine that the
stealthy tread of moccasined feet is still
echoing there and that the strange
words of the redskins tongue have left
some spell upon the place
In size it is a poor comment upon
PENIS generosity, for it scarcely affords
room sufficient to turn a wagon and a
pair of horses. Perhaps because of it's
microscopic dimensions there has never
been any attempt to encroach upon the
rights of the old reservation.
For more than cenEury it has stood
in its native state in the midst Of the
great city, relic of pathetic past, an
heirloom for owners who will never
reclaim it.-New York Herald.

Preferred a Solo.

A gushing, sentimental girl and her
matter of fact aunt sat on "a green hill
side, the aunt endeavorings to enjoy ma
ture, while her niece discoursed of things
far and near without noticeable pause
for breath.
At last she spoke of the beauties of
the landscape at great length. II love
TO listen to the music of that brook as
it habbles on and on she said un-
wisely. ..... .... ....
Yes" said the aunt, ssizing her
first opportunity, "the babbling of a
brook is a pleasant sound, my dear. I
think l prefer it as solo, however,
rather than with another part. don't
care so much for babbling duet"
Then for few delightful moments
there was silence on the green hillside.

4 Doctor Gives What He Calls Cold
Facts About Smoking.
Il don't like to upset a cherished

talk, one bears of nicotine sa turating the
systems of smokers is mostly rot. Nico-
tinsis deadly poison: One4drop of it
Will make a good sized mastiH turn up
his toes if injected simultaneously, and
it would take precious little of it to
kill a man. The truth is that very lit
tie is absorbed, even by the most CON-
firmed smokers. Now and then you read
of men who die from excessive tobacco
using and are found on autopsy to be
literally reeking with nicotine. ALL
rubbish. Nothing of the kind ever hap

"Again, it's favorite experiment to
blow smoke through a handkerchief,
and the stain that is produced is popu-
larly supposed to be made by nicotine,
1t is really oil of tobacco, witch is q
horse of quite a different color. No, the
chief harm done by smoking is the
stimulus which it gives to the heart.
This is particularly true of cigarette
smoking, where 'inhaling' is nearly al
ways practiced.
"Eaoh time the smoke is inhaled it
acts as a. slieht spur to the heart, and,
needless to say, there is sure to, b. re-
action. IF the smoker is in good general
health, he will probably never; feel it,
but if he isn't there will be periods Of
. profound depression, and, not knowing
the cause, he is apt to try to- brace up
on a.driilk, which makes matters just
that much worse. If he has organic
heart, trouble-valvular weakness, I
mean-it's quite possible that he will
tumble over some day and putt his angel
plumage on. Those are the cold facts
about smoking-none other: are genu-

say the people are slow in paying their

expense. The county offers no assistance,
