Treated Everybody Alike.
There was very little snowbaning down
town yesterday, but in the park and ex-
tension and in the residence section wher-
ever crowds of boys gathered there was

1t usually counted a bullseye.
The street car men were special tar

of boys on a corner ahead il meant a
case of bob behind the dashboard or in
side the car door If he was a good
dodger the chances were in the motor
mans favor. The conductors Jared little
better. Their turn came after The motor
men, along with the fresh-alr passengers
on the back platform. Car windows We're
smashed right along and the floors of
cars were covered with broken glass. Hack
drivers caught it all the time and the
mucky passengers had to take their
chances. The unwary pedestrian who ven
tured out in the park had rough time of

While for the most part the snowballing
was in a spirit of fun, in a good many
instances il developed into the
malicious breaking of windows and
attacks upon aged and infirm

THE PASSING OF A NATION.

The unconditional pardon and
liberation of the last remaining
nine convicts confined in the old
national prison at Tahlequah this
week, marks an epoch in the pass
ing of tribal autonomy of the In
dian Territory. 1t is an echo OF a
departing nation, and the end OF a
chapter in the intensely interest
ing drama of Cherokee history.
For nearly year these persons
have been confined in a prison
that had no existence in law, who
were serving ssntence OF court
defunct, and in expiation of crimes
committed against no existing law.
This curious state of affairs per-
haps never had parallel outside
of the the Indian Territory. To
the stocial Cherokee these passing
events are of deep significance and
are full of sentiment and pathos.
The setting of the sun of a nation of
people stirs the debths of the
thoughtful mind, and brings up
the sad reflection that "the ways
of man are vanity" and that time
is the great leveler OF all things.
Rome and Greece and Athens and
Carthage reached their zenith and
passed off the stage of action, and
now piles of ruins only mark their
former greatness.

In every country in the world
rainbow folklore declares that some
object of value may be found where
the ends of the beautiful arch touch
the earth In Suabia the ends are
said to rest on bowls of gold; in
Hungary, that cups of-silver will be
found at the spot where they come
in contact with the earth. In Swift
zerland it is said that shoe cast
over the rainbow will come to the
ground on the other side filled to
overfowing with gold. In Bosnia it
is said that if iron or other base
metal happen to be at the spot
where the bow touches the ground,
it will be instantly transformed to
pure gold. In many parts of Ger
many, Poland, Russia, Belgium and
Holland it is said to be a golden key
that may be found at "the end of
the bow" In Portugal and Spain
they speak of the silver hen" hav-
ing her nest where the bow rests,
and in Norway it comes to the
ground at a spot where golden
bowl and a silver spoon are hidden.
In many of the chief European
countries it is said that water touch
ed by the rainbow will cure fits and
insanity.-St. Louis Republic

The Danube was for a time a
sufficient protection against the
Scythians, but soon better defense
was needed, and Trajan devised and
carried out a complete system of
frontier posts from Ratisbon to Bel
grade. At Belgrade the forts became
fortresses, the earthworks became a
wall, and the whole mighty fortifica-
tion turned away from the Danube
river. Between Belgrade and the
Black sea there were SO forts Of
large size and hundreds Of little cas-
ties, while the whole line of Trajan's
wall frayersed distance of LOO
miles and had in its extent over

Next to Gibraltar, Malta is the
strongest fortress in the world.
After it came into the possession of
the English, during the Napoleonic
wars, the harbor of La Valetta was
defended by a system of works
which are considered by competent
engineers to be impregnable against
any force that can be brought to
bear upon them.
