shrieks of the world as If demands
from everyone according to his ability.
That voice must be needed and our
little best done, or we prove recreant
TO the responsibility of living. If we
are to be surrounded with comforts.
and protected by order and peace and
justice; if we are to be carefully
shielded from things that are unpleas-
ant and terrible; let us appreciate
that sthese things all exist because
others just as imperfect in their work
as we may be have done their best,
made their contribution and passed
on @Hhe thought of this little mes
sage, therefore, condenses itself down
to this that those who can do and do
not are selfish, that those who want
to. do and can do yet do not are
blameworthy; that those who take
the blessings of life and make no re-
turn to the world that now is for the
generous throwing in of effort of those
who have gone before the vampires.
They draw strength from those who
rest from their labors and the world
sees no result of the strength.

No first fight-no subsequent grace.
That is the rule for birds. and it may
be true one also for heads and hearts.
1t is continued effort that leads to i'm
provement over the quality of the
first effort. But the first effort must
be made, imperfect, crude, unsatisfac-
tory though it may be. The fact that
you doubt yourself is no real sign that
your effort fails. Your message may
be weak and your voice and heart so
quavering that the great torrent like
stream of human life goes rushing by
without paying any heed at all. Yet
who are you to usurp the powers of
omniscience and declare that your
work fails? How do you know? Some
creature weak and shrinking like you
may have heard while slowly circling
in an eddy of inaction; and your words
will have forced that run out into eff
fort also. Who can measure results
from any eXertion, no matter how ap-
parently trihing. loye to think just
as matter never is destroyed in the
economy of this great world,
but simply changes its form; so
thoughts and acts go on in their influ-
ence and never die. If this is wrong,
one of the chief props of life is gone.
If this is right, why do you stand
there idling? Furthermore, as some
human beings have greater powers
than others, but none of them, if they
are great hearted, are content or able
to keep their powers and results away
from helping the great sum total of
human achievements, it should be
satisfaction enough for us who are
weak, if we have had share in thrust
ing out into effort some one who need
ed the encouragement of our own
feeble beginnings in order to plume
his own wings for glorious fiight-we
cannot by any possibility gather to
ourselves all the results of what we do,
nor even get credited with them; but
be content, no genuine work perishes
and whether we are honored for do
ing it is unimportant besides the more
important fact that we could do it
and did do it, instead of shrinking
back for fear of imperfection.

A rumor has come from London that
Punch is to undergo some alterations in
the style of its contents, its size and
price-a report somewhat disquieting to
those who believe in British stability and
reverence for a steadfast course. These
restless times must have changed public
taste II Punch feels the need Of novel
ties. One of the difficulties Of maintain
ing humorous paper, says Harper's
Weekly, is the tendency Of the men who
make it to grow old. Du Maurer never
grew old in Punch. Neither did Leech
nor Keene, and Tenniel's work is not Of
a sort to be impaired by the seriousness
which is liable to develop with maturity.

of youth-real youth-in humorous pa

Punch, and all papers Of its sort, to
drown or pension off its editor every 10

old familiar friends which 1t Is brutal to

One That Could Garry 100 Pnsxen-
gers and Cross the Ocean.
: The second largest Indian canoe in
British Columbia, if not on the Pacific
coust, is now hauled out on the tide fiat
fill on First avenue south. 1t is n stun
ner. considering it is made entirely out
of big single cedar tree.
1--WE could cross the ocean in that ca
noes 'said the owner this morning in
very good English. ut will hold more
than hundred people and Is the largest
canoe but one in all our country"
The big canoe is but one out Of score
of large canoes that belong to the Fort
Rupert and West Coast Indians of Van
couver island. Fort Rupert is on the
northern end of Vancouver island, and
the Indians now here were IS days on
the voyage. With good fair wind they
can 60 100 miles day and could, there
fore, accomplish the almost 1000 mile
voyage in eight or ten days. However,
they do not always get the fair wind.
The big canoe is new one, made this
summer. 1t is about 55 feet long and 7
to across. The Indians say there are
even bigger cedar trees than the one from
which the canoe was made. These In
dians have been coming here ever since
the first hops were planted. They al
ways look for sound tree for canoe,
one without any rotten parts or knot
holes about it. The Indian owner hired a
number of other Indians and made the
canoe where the tree fell, then skidded it
into the water. He considers it worth
$500 or $4O0.
War canoes of these northern indians

Wedding of Nellie Custis.

Nellie Gusts occupied no small share
of Washington's affectionate thought aft
er his return to Mount Vernon. He had
charged the young girl kindly not to fall
in love with any invader" Of her heart
until she had n competent knowledge of
his character, especially whether he was
a man of sense, "for be assured a sensi-
BILE woman can never be happy with a
fool;" what his walk of life, the extent
of his fortune and, above all, the honesty
of his affections. Washington's own
wish seems to have been that Nellie Gus
tbs would marry his favorite young neph-
ew, Lawrence Lewis, and among the last
Of the festivities which Washington pre-
sided over at Mount Vernon was the
wedding of the couple in February, 1893.
Nellie wanted him to appear in all the
magnificence of the new uniform, with
gold lace and white plumes, which the
war department had just designed for
him as general. The old chieftain was
unwilling to have himself bedecked in
the trappings of his latest military rank.
But when he came into the presence Of
the bridal party Nellie had to throw her
arms around his neck, for there he was
in the good old blue and buff of the Con-
tinenta army. with black ribbon cock
ade and cooked hat.-William Perrine

Saved His CountrYmnM.

Kaid Maclean, commander in chief OF
the Morocco army and the trusted friend
and companion OF the sultan. is the son
of the Maclean of Loch Buie, Scotland,
who owns a great part OF the isle OF
Null. The kaid is popular in spite OF
the great jealousy Of the Mohammedans,
and the tact he displays in his most diff
cult position is quite wonderful. He in
yariably travels with the sultan and ex.
ercises an immense. influence over him.
A few years ago. when there was q
probability of trouble arising between
Morocco and Great Britain, a Scotch
man, hailing from Glasgow. who was in
the sultan's dominions at the time, got
compromised in some way and was seized
and cast into prison by the sultan's or,
ders, being kept without food OF any
kind, as is the rule in Morocco.
During the night, when the poor Scot
was actually near starvation, figure
clothed in white gown came softly to
the cell and addressed the terrified pris-
oner In broad Scotch. He produced from
the folds of his gown bottle Of real
Scotch whisky and various eatables. The
two clansmen sat far into the morning
talking of the old home and Of theft
friends in bonnie Scotland. 1t is needless
to say that in the morning the prisoner
was released and seen safely out Of Mo-
rocco by his countryman, Kaid Maclean.

Magician Kellar says he has the spirit
o; old Cagliostro. There once lived n
famous nccromnncer, named Cngliostro,
whose skill as wizard had spread far and
wide. When he died and went to spirit
land. he apparently became leador, for
of all tho spirits that come back to attend
seances and ring bells, or to do other use
less things, Cagliostro is the only ono that
really does anything that is worth men,
tioning. He is with Magician Kellar and
lives in littla dolls cabinet, on plate
of glass, which, when shown to the au-
dicnce, is several feet from the floor.
Cagl;ostro is an expert euchre player and
will gladly take hand with the local OK
perts, when Kellar brings him here. A
pack Of very large sized cards Is placed
upon tho plate Of g,ass in front Of his
open cabinet and these, ono at time,
rise up mysterlously. to show the ono in
the audience who holds the ghosts hand,
what to play. Casliostro invariably wins.
Try him game, when Kellar has his
little house set up for business at Opera
House on Saturday afternoon and night.

Doomed Some Way,

MY roommate is a chap Of extraordi-
nary financial genius" remarked rail-
road clerk of this city. "He is native
Californian, and five or six years ago he
spent Il season on sugar plantation In
Hawaii. He was engaged at the time.
and while he was there he corresponded
regularly with his fancee. Afterward
they quarreled, and the match was bro
ken off, but the poor girl thought his let
ters we're beautiful and treasured them
religously.
"Quite recently he saw in paper that
Hawaiian stamps Of the period Of his
stay there had become very scarce and
valuable, and he Immediately sat down
and wrote to his old sweetheart demand
ing his letters. He said he was soon to
be married and felt it his duty to de-
stroy 'em; appealed to her better feel
ings' and all that, and, to make long
story short, she sent them back. They
were yellow with age and had suspicious
stains that looked like tears, but he
wasn't moved bit. He promptly cut
off all the stamps, sent them to New
York agency, and yesterday he got a
check for $40. Our landlady, who knows
about it, says he is perfect brute and
will come to bad end. I am afraid SO
myself think he is doomed to become
millionaire" = New Orleans Times
