son for the office. The general was a
typical western man of the world. an
ex-congressman, and knew life. The
governor was farmer by profession
and congressman and governor by ac-
cident. The day that the general Wis
tied the governors office he asked po-
litical favor for friend. The gov
ernor hesitated and at length refused.
Thereupon the general picked up a
hat, pulled it down over his ears, and
stumped out of the room in rage. When
he reached his own Office he said: 81

to present his compliments to you, and
he begs me to say that he Is always
glad to welcome you to his Office. You
may have your choice of chairs, and
put your feet on any desk you please,

the general, as he slipped off the soft
hat which fitted him SO loosely. 1t was

Slavery In England.

Slavery in England is of very ancient
standing. Caesar states that it existed
as an institution among the Celts. and
in Roman England the conquered ma
tives were held in state of serfdom.
In Saxon and early Norman times the
children of the old English peasantry
and captives taken in war were sold
like cattle in Bristol market, and many
were exported to Scotland and Ireland.
Doomsday Book states that the slaves
numbered $4,000. Soon after the con-
quest the distinct slave class ceased to
exist. and the slaves were merged with
the lower class or ceorls under the
general designation of villeins. These
villeins in early feudal times were an
nexed to the land and were divisable
as goods and chattels, but in process
of time the higher class of villeins
gained title to the land on which
they worked, and after the reign of
Richard H. we find little reference to
villeinage. Although the church had
early succeeded in putting an end to
the English slave traffic, by the canon
of the council of 1902, slavery was
never abolished by any positive enact
ment; and it was not till 1860 that the
last remnants of the feudaI system
were finally swept away. Slavery was
abolished, but slavery did not cease
here, for until the time of George III.
GOLFERS were bought and sold, and if
they left the estate to which they be-
longed they were brought back by
force. 1t was not until the year 1775
that an act was passed by which they
were declared free. and were put upon
the same footing as other servants.

from the most ancient habitations OF
the cliff jewellers. The strange picture
writing tells still more. In some such
bit of these ancient characters as
shown in a photograph of one OF the
pictorial rocks of the Verde river, Ari-
IONA, one may see the concentric cir
cles which represent the sun, the quiv-
ering lines which mean lightning, the
zigzags of the clouds, the vertical lines
which record rain, the figures of the
sacred turkey, the crude representa-
tion of human figure and innumerable
symbols in which is written the his
tory of evil days and happy, prosper
GUS years ana seasons of famine, the
deeds and deaths of chieftains and
praise of the Most Holy, the Lord God
Sun, whose life-giving radiance typi-
fed for the cliff dweliers all that was
most sacred.
The important discovery of the skel-
etons was made in excavating the new
ly discovered ruins. The skeletons were
uncovered in number, buried in a sit
ting position, with face to the rising
sun When he looked at the skulls he
found that every one had a complete
set of double teeth. There was not
single incisor to be found. At first he
thought the teeth might have been
worn down by eating hard food, but
skulls of individuals of both sexes and
different ages were all found to show
the same popularity.
The skulls were shown to anato-
mists. They exclaimed in wonder over
them, saying they knew of no exist
ing race which shows the same pecul
iarity. 1t was definitely settled that
the front teeth were not merely worn
fiat The whole shape of the front
double teeth was shown to be different
from that of the incisors OF ordinary
men and characteristically molar The
explanation was that these skulls had
belonged to a race of grain eaters-an-
other proof OF standardization
that long continuance of the habit had
developed teeth suited to the races
needs.
This seems to prove that the cliff
dwellers are distinct race, entirely
distant from the Indians or the plains.
who have since disappeared from the
face of the earth. wiped out by pesti-
lenee. famine or savage war.
The last of the cliff dwellers died no
one knows how many centuries ago.
Their ancient habitatlons remain, as
tonishing testimony to the social COM
plexity and to the development of arts
and crafts among these men and wom-
en- OF the stone age. Some have been
mercilessly despoiled by relic hunters
and invaluable anthropological mate
rial scattered before the scientists could
read these torn pages Of American his
tory.
The results OF DR.. Coles journey have
shown. however, that some of the most
interesting of these ancient ruins are
as yet practically untouched. Their
burial mounds are unprofaned. their
picture writings whole, their crumbling
walls unframed save by the elements
These virgin fields offer rich har-
vest for the university. museum or
society which undertakes their scien-
tific exploration.

Getting His Moneys Worth.

The chap with a mania for get
ting his moneys worth is familiar
character in this business" said a
hotel clerk the other evening. "A few
days ago man registered here early
in the morning, was assigned a room
and hurried out to attend to some bust
ness. ! saw no more of him until
about dusk, when he dropped in to in

bed clothing all over the floor, stamped
on the pillows, emptied the water
pitcher into the slop jar and crumpled
up all the towels. Then he came down
and paid the bill with the air of man
who has done something clever. The
net cost of his performance was prob
ably eight or nine cents for laundry,
and its chief result was to give con-
siderable unnecessary work to tired

According to Philadelphia exchange
there is near Franklin, Pa, a sluggish
stream to the surface Of which rise
hundreds OF bubbles, glistening like
iridescent glass. Some of these float on
the water, others soar away above tie
tree-tops like gorgeous toy balloons.
The explanation of the phenomenon
was discovered after considerable
search. A gas line and an oil line pass
under the run at this point, and in each
was small leak. The oil spread a
film over the water, which was inflated
here and there by the gas. The fact
that the bubbles were full Of gas caused
them to ascend more swiftly, and the
film of oil made them unusually high
colored and tough. The strength OF
the bubbles may be imagined from The
fact that small twigs and leaves, float
ing on the surface of the water, are
frequently carried up in the larger bub-
bles.

In store for Dewey,s Nam esa kes.

Admiral Dewey is very fond Of chill
dren. One of his officers found him
one day in the cabin of the Olympia,
half buried beneath piles of letters and
photographs of babies. Whats this?"
asked the caller. "Namesakes," said
Dewey. Tell me what shall send to
each Of them?" The officer tried to
persuade him to send nothing at all,
saying it would ruin him financially to
buy SO many presents and would ruin
his health to answer so many letters.
The admiral insisted. He must and
would send something, he said. well,
wait till you get home, then. You can
buy presents at wholesale there and
the express charges will be lighter"
said the officer, banteringly. That's
a good idea," said the admiral, with a
sigh of relief. "I'll adopt it." So
