Oualxers and Their Hats.

There has been told in various
works the persecution to which, in
commonwealth times, George Fox
the founder of the Society of Friends,
and his fellow Quakers were sub
iected because Of their refusal to re-
move their hats in presence of the
civil magistrate, but the blame for
this would seem to have lain upon
the local justices rather than the
central power. Cromwell perceived
that it was easier for stupid or zeal
Gus magistrates to send Quakers to
prison for this refusal than to get
them out again, for Fox and his
Friends had almosl to be implored
to leave the iails into which they
considered themselves to have been
unjustly thrust.
1t was this continual persecution
of the Quakers, in the west OF Eng
land particularly, that at length
moved the council to emphatically
interfere on their behalf. In No
vember, 1857, remonstrance, sign
ed by five Friends, was presented to
the council, specially complaining Of
the prosecutions at Exeter, and Hen
ry Lawrence, the president of the
council, at once forwarded a letter
to the justices of the peace, not only
in Devon, but other counties, deal
ine with the matter.

ga burned child breads the fire,
"A soused child breads water, Once
burned, twice shy'-these are three
proverbial ways of saying that one
finger is enough to lose in learning
that a buzzsaw may be moving
though it seems to be standing still.
There are more ways than there are
proverbs of exemplifying the inher-
ent truth of these proverbs, and each
way is interesting, if not immediate
ly, yet in the long run-and the
run is not necessarily SO long.

the man who knew about proverbs,
"there is hotel. This is not strange
to you, but probably you haven't
been in H. / have been there.
By way of aggression, let me remark
that in all these small country towns
of Virginia and its ooparcener states
it is astonishing how easy it is to
arrive and how hard it is to depart.
At whatever hour you may have ar
rived, you are certain to take the
train after midnight and before 6
o'clock. This arrangement effectual-
ly spoils the night for sleeping pur-
poses or for amusement; but, then,
there is no amusement.

The borers are grubs of beetles
which hatch from eggs laid on the
bark; if this coating of soft soap

the mother beetles will not lay
eggs and the trees are safe. Other
washes are sometimes recommend
ed but this is as good as any.

DENSE BRITISH SKULLS.


Is Slowness to See Joke Growing
Characteristic of Englishmen?
Stories about the dull wit of the
English are told wherever men come
together, and one in particular, prob
ably the prototype of the rest, is
pretty surely rendered in more or
less mangled form as often as the
subject of slow wit is introduced.
This is an old tale of two pedestri-
ans, an Englishman and an Ameri-
can, who saw sign in the middle of
the road which read: ITO Somerset
shire, ten miles; to Gloucester, FIVE
miles. Those who can't read may
obtain proper directions at the
blacksmith g, two rods up the road. :"
The American, SO goes the story,
stopped short in the middle of the
road and laughed heartily.
"What are you loffing ati" asked
the Briton.
Think awhile. Maybe you'll see
the point, answered his friend.
"Oh, seeI' exclaimed John Bull
an hour later. Suppose the black
smith shouldn't be at home"
While at first, perhaps, this story
was not SO bad, now its only good
Office is sthat it invariably suggests
some others. At the Broken Shutter
the other night it brought forth
about six.
I'm glad you told the story,
said the policeman to the assistant
telegraph man. TITS like meeting
an old friend or talking with your
family doctor. Now. ! know a story

ne Got the window.

Old sssaw Log" Sam Stevenson il
said to be the richest man in Michigan.
He was in congress several years, but
was defeated for reelection In 1894. He
lives in the upper peninsula. and is q
lumber king. He was probably the most
ignorant man who ever sat in congress.
He knew the value of a dollar, however,
and could tell the color of one as far as
the next man. He could be generous on
occasion, and, on occasion, he could be
lavish.
When forest fires swept over Wiscon-
sin some years ago and wrought such
destruction and occasioned such desti-.
tuition, "Saw Log" Sam wired Pills
bury, at Minneapolis, to send to the
sufferers / 900 barrels of -four and for
ward the bill to him.
When Mckinley was inaugurated, one
Of the Vanderbilts was guest Of the
Arlington hotel. He sent his secretary
out to secure a window on the avenue
from which to view the parade. The
man asked $500 for it, and the secretary
told him to hold it until he could con-
suit Mr.. Vanderbilt. Nearly all the
windows had been taken. Along came
"Saw Log" Sam window hunting, and
approached the window seller Wander
bilt's man had been negotiating with.
After some haggling sSaw Log bought
the window for $1,000 cash in hand
and he and his party at once took pos

People who fail to punctuate their
communications are invited to study
the following line, which is a correct
sentence:

We got that line one day this week
by wire, where punctuations are al
ways omitted. We nearly wrecked our
mentality trying to clear up the mys-
terry of the single line, when all Of a
sudden it occurred to us to lcok up a
copy Of our letter to the party, when
we discovered that our friend wanted
to inform us he did not use the word

the sentence is correct and should have
read, "It was 'and' / said-not 'or. !"

Mr.. George have been thinking over
the statement you made last week, and
I too believe that that is is that that is

A good way to untangle the above is
to write it as follows: "That that Is,

words, it is a play on Pope's whatever
is, is right. People who eschew pune
