The Flrst sllk lat.

An old journal. dated Jan. 10, f707.
gives the following amusing account of
the wearing Of the first silk hat in
London. John Hetherington. haber.
dasher. of the Strand, was ariXgned be.
fore the lord mayor yesterday ON n
charge of breach of the peace and in
citing to riot. and was required to give
bonds in the sum of eJ00. 1t was in
evidence that Mr.. Hetherington. who is
well connected, appeared on the public
highway wearing upon his head what
he called a silk hat (which was offered
in evidence), tall structure having a
shiny luster and calculated to frighten
timid people.
"As a matter of fact the officers of
the crown stated that several women
tainted at the unusual sight. while
children screamed. dogs yelped. and a
younger son of Cordwainer Thomas,
who was returning from a chandler
shop was thrown down by the crowd
which had collected and had his right
arm broken. For these reasons the de-
PENDANT was seized by the guards and
taken before the lord mayer. In extenu-
alton of his crime the defendant claim
ed that he had not violated any law of
the kingdom. hnt was merely exercising
a right to appear in headdress Of bis

The Vanishing weaseI.

AS lay stretched ON the bank mt the
foot of a great maple / saw n weasel
run along in the brush fence some dis
lance away. A few seconds later he was
standing ON the exposed root Of the tree
hardly a yard from my eyes | lay mo-
tionless and examined the beautiful
creature infinitely. till suddenly found
myself staring at the smooth. greenish
gray root Of the maple. with no weasel
in sight.
Judging from my own experience, |
should say that this is the usual termi-
nation of any chance observations of Ell
Their weasels or minks. Occasionally
they may be seen TO dart into the bushes
or behind some log or projecting bank,
but much more frequently they vanish
with suddenness that defies the keen
est eyesight. In all probability this van
ishing is accompanied by extreme rapid
ity of motion. but if this il the case
then the creature succeeds in doing
something utterly impossible to any
other warm bloodea animal Of its size.
Mice, squirrels and some of the small
er birds are all of them swift enough ct
times, but except in the case of the
humming bird none of them, l believe,
succeeds in accomplishing the result
achieved by the weasels. Popular

ESTwHIsrLE AND THE ROCKET.

Mr.. Entwhistle as a boy of IA held
the throttle on the first trip of the
Rocket, Steyenson's pioneer engine.
Edward Entwhistle was born March
"a, 1916. at Tilsey's Banks, Lancashire,
England and while a mere boy was ap-
prenticed to learn the maehinists, or,
as 1t is known in England, the engi-
ncers' trade. The Rocket was built in
the shops In which he was employed
and the interest which he took in the
machine attracted the attention of
Stevenson, who recommended that he
be permitted TO ride on the engine on
Its first trip over the Liverpool and
Manchester line. for which 1t was con-
structed. Young Entwhlstle made the
trip and on the return journey he held
the throttle. This was the beginning
of his career as a locomotive engineer.
He ran the Rocket for two years, max
ing two round trips between Liverpool
and Manchester, a distance Of thirty
one miles each way. The work wore
on him and he was obliged, because of
nervousness, TO resign. Stevenson then
secured for him a place as second en-
gineer on one of the duke of Bridge
waters coasting steamers. He came
to America In 1887 and became engi-
neer ON the Troy, a Hudson river
steamer. Soon after the engineer of
the famous John Bull locomotive was
injured and Entwhistle took his run.
In 1914 he came tn Chicago and at diff
ferent times held positions as station
ary engineer, lake steamer engineer
and locomotive engineer He came to
Des Molnes In 1856 and became en-
gineer of Shepherd & Perrier's Touring
mill. Later he became engineer of the
Ankeny mills, n position he held for
twenty-five years.
When Mr.. Entwhistle visited the
Worlds Fair in Chicago he spent near
ly all his time for three days standing
bition. He Is remarkably modest
man and did not make his identity or
his early connection with the engine
known. He even pledged the members
of his family not to give him away"
but he derived great pleasure from gaz-
ing at the pioneer locomotive and COM
pairing 1t with the modern machines
which were on exhibition In the same
building. The picture which accom-
panies this sketch is from a photo
graph taken about the time of Mr..
Entwhistle's visit to the Worlds Fair.

ness being startlingly similar. An.
other was that he was a first cousin to
the redoubtable Chief Joseph Of NeZ
Perez reputation, and masqueraded n
great deal in the guise of good In
dian. Half Moons third claim to fame
rested on the assertion of his kinsmen
that he was between 100 and 200 years
old. This latter claim, however, seems
to be merely bit of Indian hyperbole.
Pioneer residents of Washington put
Half-Moon's age at rs years.
HalfMoon came of bad parentage.
His father was bloodthirsty, murder
GUS savage, and Half-Moon inherited
subjugation of his tribe he was con-
tinually at war with the whites, and
participated in many murders and
brutal massacres.
Personally, Moses was a command
ing figure, standing nearly six feet in
hight. and weighing about 250 pounds.
He was by far the biggest Indian in
the bunch and strong as an OK. His
strength had, however, become merely
tradition, for, since he became the
petted ward of the government, with
Its $1,000 annuity, he had no ambition
or excuse to do aught but live in Idle
ness and splendor, preferrlng only to
take mp the white mans burden in the
shape of bearing a load of kentucky
rye under his belt. These occasions,
however, were only periodical with the
aged chief in his later years. as he had
long been n sufferer from Brlght's dis
ease, which finally carried him off.

There can be no doubt that the war
indemnity paid by France TO Germany
after the six weeks war, was BOOM
erang to score up against Bismarck.
The good il did to France is inestimable.
Prior to the war there was an enormous
amount of money locked up in the form
of small savings The appeal of the gov
eminent to the people set this sum into
profitable motion. and, to the amaze
ment of the world. France paid off her
creditor in less than half the stipulated
time. This gave ayast impulse to bust
ness enterprise Of all kinds. and since
then France has steadily become more
wealthy. In Germany the effects We're
less beneficial The huge influx of gold
sent up prices with rush. A mania
for speculation set in. followed by the
inevitable crisis. Most serious of all.
however, was the unexpected discovery
of Frances strength. Bismarck intend
ed to cripple her forever, but he only
revealed her immense power, ana this,
of course, necessitated the gigantic mill
tary burdens which year by year weigh
more heavily upon Germany.-Cincin-
