With John and Jonathan as one
The worlds great peace Will have begun.

The hour that havoc hungers for
W!ll strike in ruin of blood and tears

Shoulder to shoulder. hand by hand,
Justice and peace shall build their throne
From tropic sea to frozen zone.

And sui.e to think of an ancient feud
Which the God of the nations turned TO

When the bond OF common creed and

And kindred binds them each TO each,
And each in the others victories

How paltry thing they both will know
That grudge of n hundred years ago
How small that blemish OF wrath anu

In the bluzonry of their common fame!

UNIQUE MUSICAL INSTRUMENT
Place af Mechnnism for the
Paris Exposition of 1900.

pnrla Exposition OF 1000.
From the New Orleans Times Demo-
crat: The largest musical instrument
In the world will be on exhibition at
the Paris exposition in 1900. 1t is call
ed an "autoelectropolyphon and its
inventor and builder is an Italian, An
tonic Zibordi, who claims to have
worked upon 1t for fifteen years. The
instrument executes every kind of con-
certed music. and contains no less
than 5000 different and Independent
musical Instruments. 1t cost about
$4,000. The inventor has employed
most varied applications Of mechani-
cal skill and electrical apparatus, which
are not entirely new. but the compost
ton of which represents an incredible
amount of most careful study and hui
man patience. The instruments will
be worked by means of two petroleum
motors, each of three horse power,
which, by driving dynamo. furnish
the light for the inside Of the instru-
ment, showing its countless details
and Illuminating the hall where 1t is
shown. A curious combination is the
small electric fountain within the in
strument, which will show in varicol-
ored light when the lights in the ex-
hibition hall are turned down. the mu-
sic from the orchestrion continuing all
the while. There are two separate sets
Of instruments. which can be worked
singly or together-one perfect
string orchestra. the other a military
brass band of 100 pieces. They have
separate sets OF cylinders, but there
are some pieces for both orchestras.
where the two cylinders are started to-
gether. The apparatus will be taken
from Milan to Paris on two railroad
cars, and after having been admired at
the 1900 exposition 1t is the intention
of the inventor to present the instru-
ment to Queen Margherita of Italy.

ury-A Unique Ledger.
Especial Letter.

Keeping a ledger Is altogether be-
yond an ordinary Indians power. An
Indian buys one dollars worth, or two
dollars worth or five dollars worth;
he does not bother with the odd cents.
II he wants 25 cents worth OF chewing
tobacco he buys four packages for
dollar rather than puzzle out the
change, which simplifies matters both
for customer and storekeeper. But
there are a few Indian storekeepers.
On the Crow reservation, near Pryor.
Mont. there is one. Some 70 miles
from the agency store Is kept by
Plenty-Coups. principal chief OF the
Crows. Now. Plenty-C Coups can print
and cipher about as well as 7-year-
old boy. The three Rs are unfamil-
lar ground to him, as to the majority of
ais customers. Some of them pay cash;
they take their purchase, Plenty-Coups
drops the money into his box. ana
both parties are satisfied, without any
written record of the transaction. For
the accommodation of people who do
not pay cash he keeps account In the
most primitive way. On sheet OF
common brown wrapping paper he
draws a picture Of the customer. or
rather OF the customers name. There
is no misreading the rude sketch
which stands for Walking-Bear or
Crazy-Crane. while the amount OF the
gentleman's debt is plainly marked
over his efilgy and hitched to 1t by
wriggly pencil line. Suppose Mr.. Elk
or Mrs. Plenty-Shells-.for. as in most
civilized communities. women do a
large part of the shopping
spent IS at the store spends three
more, or pays two on account, Plenty
Coups rubs the original figure out and
writes a new one. At the end OF the
year all accounts are squared and all
ledgers-brown papers-burned. There
is nothing in the world to prevent the
storekeeper from tampering with his
balance sheet. He can erase figures
at will and alter them to his own ad-
vantage. The whole Crow nation.

could prove nothing. The simple fact
Is that he does not betray his trust.
And they know he does not.
His store is not government
