An amusing specimen of Oriental
hyperbole came under the notice OF
Lord Elgin before he left upper
Burmah. At a place called Myitkyina,
which was a mere Burmah- Shan village
ten years ago, but which is the head
quarters of thriving British district,
the viceroy was presented with an adj
dress of welcome by the people of the
town. The people, it declared, were
as happy to see and make obeisance
to his excellency as if they were gaz-
ing on "the full moon surrounded with
luminous stars" They prayed for his
long life, and for that of the queen
empress, contrasted their present
security with the dangers in which
they previously lived, pointed out that
even the savage tribes were becoming
civilized, and dwelt on the prospect
of good crops and the regularity of the
seasons. These results, including an
equable distribution of rain and sun
shine, were undoubtedly due to the
sagacity and rectitude of the govern
ment officers. London News.

WHERE CENTENARIANS GROW.
Five Persons in Madison County, Ind
Have Passed the Hundred Mark.

Five Persons in Madison County, Ind.
Have Passed the Hundred Mark.
Action has been brought by one Of
his daughters to have a guardian ap.
pointed for Alexander Ferguson, ot
Gilman, Madison County, Indiana.
Ferguson is the oldest man in Eastern
Indiana and possibly in the State.
He has just passed his 107th birthday.
Until within this last year his mind
has been as sound as his body, and
he has been able to recall incidents of
eighty and ninety years ago as though
they had happened yesterday.
This action has brought to light the
fact that there are five people in
Madison County who have passed the
100-year mark Ferguson is the dean
of the men, and his sister, Mrs.
Bette Carolton, who lives near Frank,
lin, heads the women, with Ill years
to her credit. Summitville claims
the next distinction, presenting
Thomas Wells, aged 106. Wells was
born in Falmouth, Pendleton County,
Ky, in 1898, but has lived in Indiana
since 1924. He presents his mother g
records as proof and his person is
good evidence of his statement. His
father was a soldier in the Revolution
ary War under Washington's COM
mand and spent the winter of 1776 at
Valley Forge.
Monroe Hedges was LOG years OF
age on February IL, and he looks it.
He has been a cripple for fifteen years
and is scarcely able to move. Ment-
ally, however, he is most active and
sees a bright side to his gloomy life.
He is very poor and lives with his
eighty-year-old wife and two sons.
He is Kentuckian by birth. He was
born in Fleming County, near
Flemingsburg, and comes from dis
tinguished family of Kentucky pion-
eers. Many of his people have been
very prominent in Kentucky life and
have served in Congress and in the
State Legislature. He became circus
rider at eighteen and was the star at
traction with that pioneer of all
circuses-Baily, Brown & Stickney's.
He travelled over eighteen States,
which was, ninety years ago, most
remarkable feat for any man. He
followed the occupation of a jockey
after that and rode his last race at
Lebanon, Ind, when he was seventy
nine, and won it. He remembers
when the Kentuckians regarded
Indiana as an impenetrable forest
north of the knobs which lined the
north bank of the Ohio.

WISE WORDS.

We talk about the sleep of death,
How much deeper, how much sadder
is the sleep of life-the unresponsive
heart, the unawakened mind, the
hand that is palsied by lack of will
to do.
Large views, high hopes and un.
selfish aims dissipate a whole army OF
petty trials, annoyances and irri-
tations, and even greatly reduce real
anxieties and solicitude.
An ounce of essence is worth a gal.
ION of fluid. A wise saw may be more
valuable than a whole book, and O
plain truth is better than an argu'
ment.
Our sentiments, our thoughts, our
words lose rectitude on entering cer-
tain minds, as sticks plunged into the
water-look bent.
Imagination is the stairway which
the mind uses when taking the meas.
ure of some lofty projection.
Riches massed in haste will dimin,
ish, but those collected by hand and
little by little will multiply.
We live in an age of fact, not fiction
for every effect is assigned some
simple and natural cause.
If straw can be made the instru-
ment of happiness, he is wise man
who does not despise it.

to be greedy she quickly represses

the back door and adroitly made his
way to my room, unobserved.
I made my deposition, the warrant
was issued and handed to the officer,
and he went softly down the stairs to
make the arrest.
He was not moment too soon, nor
too late, and he laid his hand upon
Gerald Macburn's shoulder just in
time to prevent Jenny Magrair from
becoming the wife of murderer.
Macburn was tried, convicted and
executed.
My testimony was sufficient, for the
power Of the telescope was tested,
proving beyond doubt that had been
an eyewitness to the murder, though
miles away from the spot.
Jenny quickly recovered from tht

BASEBALL AT SANTIAGO.
An Irish sergeant's Vigorous Coaching o.
Cuban Youth.


An amusing story is told in Santi-
ago of the efforts of an Irish Sergeant
of the Fifth United States regulars to
inculcate in a Cuban youth the prin-
ciples of baseball, relates H. H. Lewis.
One afternoon, after dress parade, the
regulars interested in baseball started
to make up two scrub teams for q
practice game on the spacious parade
in front of the barracks. A Cuban
youth named Lopez, the son of a
prominent sugar planter, who had
watched several games with evident
curiosity, volunteered to play.
"D'ye know anything about it?"
asked the Sergeant, who was captain
of one side, and was known in the
regiment as "San Juan" "Can yez
knock a three bagger with one hand?"
The Cuban looked mystifed, but he
politely intimated that he would try to
learn.
"Well, jump il and hustle" said
the captain, sending him out to right
field.
During that inning the new player
caught an easy ball simply because it
fell into his hands, and he was toe
surprised to let it go. When the side
went to the bat the native of Santiago
was told how to hold it and shown
where to stand. The first ball was q
low one, and the Cuban famed the
air so zealously that he almost fell.
Then came ball that somehow man
aged to hit the bat with force enough
to return to the outfeld. The whole
crowd yelled instructions, but the
Cuban stood open-mouthed until "San
Juan" made leap for him, and,
catching him by the arm, fairly dragged
him in the direction of first base.
There was a panied expression upon
the Cuban's face, and he resisted
seebly, but the Irish Captain finally
landed him in triumph. A minute
later the next at the bat sent the ball
into the field and tore for first base.
''Runl run" yelled "San Juan" to
the Cuban, who was trying to adjust
his collar. "Run! Give him a chance
at that bag, will yez?"
Lopez lodged from the base just in
time to escape being run down. His
hat fell off, and he was on the point
of stopping for it when the captain
fell upon him. All that the specta-
tors could see was trailing cloud Of
dust, but when it cleared away Lopez
aud "San Juan" were visible making
fast time towards second. The ball
was still being fumbled in the field,
and there was a good chance for a
home run. When the Cuban reached
second base he had lost shoe and
part Of his coat, and the man following
was at his heels. He was not allowed
/ TO halt, although ne Was in sore need
of rest
run shouted the captain saw
agely. Run or PHI
He snatched up a stick and made
ror Lopez with such a menacing air
that the poor Cuban finally ran as
hard as he could. Amid the howls of
the spectators he shotover the ground,
but instead of making for the home
base he struck off across the parade,
and finally disappeared beyond the
adjacent mule corral. An hour later
small boy came for his clothes.
Since then baseball can hardly be
called popular with the youth of San
tiago.

TO USE KRAG-JORGENSENS.
Work of Supplying Navy With the
Rifles Has Begun.

New York, Nov IA special to the
Times from Washington says: The task
of supplying the navy with Krag-Jor-
gensen rifles in place of the Lee rifles
that have been in use in the navy for
some time, has begun. the ordnance
bureau of the war department having
issued 1000 Krag-Jorgensen rifles and
5000 rounds of ammunition to be served
to the battleships kentucky and kear-
sarge at the New York navy yard.
Both branches of the service will
soon have small arms of the same cali
bre. thus simplifying the problem
of interchangeable supplies of arnmu-
milton when the army and navy are re-
quired to operate in conjunction. Grad
ually the Lee rifle will be discarded and
replaced by small calibre rifle.
The 5000 rounds of ammunition was
called for by the navy department for
experimental purposes and experiments
are now being made with it with Colt
machine gun. The army ordnance de-
partment will continue to manufacture
the Krag -Jorgensen rifle for the navy
as they are called for. but the ammu-
milton will be manufactured by the ord
nance department of the navy. The
cartridge to be used by the navy in the
army type of rifle Will be Identical with
that used by the army. except that they
will be loaded with the navy smokeless
