Fatal consequences.

"Be careful how you invoke a force
/ that may destroy YOU" says writer
whether it be the force of electricitv
the force of habit or of appetite" For
ward tells of two chickens who invoked
a power unconsciously.
The other night nearly all the electric
lights in a certain city suddenly wen.
out, and after minute came on again
Pretty soon an odor like that of an
overlooked dinner filled the powes
house, and on examination it was fount
that a couple of chickens had stolen In
and gone to roost on the main wires,
All went we'll with them until Chan
ticleer, who was percbed on one wire
reached across to give a goodnight kis,
to his dear Biddy, on the other. The
moment their bills touched, the current
of thousands of volts was Shorten.
Quilted through their bodies. and ths
kiss ended in a lightning fash and
burnt feathers.

and her eyes seemed fathoms deep as
she spoke. 1T is very beautiful, but a
sad thing happened here"
What was that? Do tell me-" he
asked, at the same time making mental
notes of the lovely model he intended
TO reproduce on the other side of the

Many years ago. she went on, "a
beautiful maiden lived on this noun
tain, and she sang so sweetly in the
evening that all were charmed who
listened to her. She was merry and
happy, and her songs were gay as any
birds. But one day a stranger came in
his boat-eyen as you come now-anl
nearing the maiden singing as she sat
here he praised her voice and said many
things which pleased her. And after
that they met here every evening dur

happy she sang only for love of him
Though he lived in a distant country
she consented to become his bride. He
promised to come for her when the
leaves fell in the forest, but he did not
come. The snow covered the mountains
and the spring melted it, and then she
knew she would see him no more. And
her sad songs seemed like moan as
the wind carried them out to sea. till
one night terrible storm swept the
ford and the girl did not come home.
Ihey found her there by the rock in
the morning, where the waves had
washed her body on the sand. And

80 HE sun declining on the coast Of
Norway made the wide ford
- simmer like liquid gold below
the purple mountains. Christine sat at
the foot of the cliff dreaming--not that
she was asleep, but lost in reverie. The
sun made her long braided hair shine
Hike halo as she rested her cheek on
her hand and dreamed. Her thoughts
were far away, and she did not notice
that some one had quietly rowed his
boat within a short distance of where
she sat. He was evidently an artist,
for at his feet in the boat lay an open
portfolio.
He dropped his oars. entranced at the
unexpected and lovely vision. The
fiower-like face of the girl, the quaint
eostume--a short brown wooden skirt.

vet bodice and red stocking cap on
her cleaning hair.
What a study for his next exhibition!
Snatching his pencil, he made a hasty
sketch of the little figure, with the cliffs
looming up behind, the placid water
almost touching her feet. She was
surely fairy of this land Of romance,
and presently the little elves would
come to seek her. He could almost
fancy them whispering to her now.
Having finished the sketch, he gently
rowed ashore.
Christine stared with surprise as he
leaped from the boat, but was treasured
by the respectful manner in which he
addressed her.
Il beg your pardon for intruding,"
said he politely. 81 had no idea there
was anyone in this region but myself.

OUR klNsMEN, THE BoERs.
There Is "A Tie Between Them and Our
Cnnn1rY,s EnrIN Settlers.


Counfry's Early Settlers.
Reminded necessarily of their kinshlp
with the English, Americans are not
often asked to remember their kinship
with the Beers. And yet the tie Is a
close one. The Boer is transplanted
Dutchman, and the influence of Hol-
land in shaping the destiny of this
country is ranked by historians as Sec
! ond only to that of Britain.
In contemplating the Transvaal war
1t is well not to forget what the Dutch
did for America.
The Pilgrim Fathers. having been
driven out of England, found a refuge
in Holland until they sailed for the
New World. Holland was in that age
the cradle of religious liberty. 1t was
one of the worlds great states, and its
people had won greater freedom than
those of England.
During their soiourn there the refu-
gees learned to admire and love many
Dutch institutions, and they carried
these feelings with them across the At
lantic
In the very foundation of the Ameri-
can commonwealth there was a stratum
of the elements that are present in the
fighting Beers.
Hendrick Hudson, when he sailed his
boat, the Half Moon, through the Mar
rows, in 1909, was, through English
himself, in the service of the Dutch
East India Company. To Holland,
therefore, belongs the honor of the dis
covery of the Hudson river and what is
now the port of New York.
England claimed all the territory or
the Atlantic coast from the Bay c;
Fundy to Florida, but did not oppose
the colonization of the territory discov
cred by Hudson.
Hudson named the region New Meth
erland and established trading posts on
Manhattan Island and at what is now
Albany.
The first Dutch colonst arrived in
1923 and settled on Manhattan Island,
which they named New Amsterdam
Holland claimed all the territory from
the Delaware to the Connecticut.
To stimulate colonization the Dutch
West India Company offered a tract IL
miles along one bank of any river or y
miles along both banks to anybody who
would transport so coonists from the
old country.
Among these brave pioneers We're the
forefathers of manywh now look upon
York.
In just this way did the Dutch col
onize South Africa. SO that there is
cOusinship of race between many in the
-Four Hundred and the stern farmers
who obey Dom Paul.
But intermarriage on this side has
modified the orr bal type. whereas the
Beers in their NhEous isolation have
preserved the pTfe, strong, rugged race.

Pearl Fishers OF Ceylon.

The pearl fishing season in Ceylon

Broken Bric.a.BraC.

Mr.. Major. the famous cement man, OF New
York, explains some very interesting facts
about Majors Cement
The multitudes who use this STANDARD artI.
Gle know that 1t is many hundred per cent
better than other cements, for which similar
claims are made, but a great many do not
know why. The simple reason is that Mr..
Major uses the best materials ever dlscov-
cred and other manufacturers 40 not use
them, because they are too expensive and do
not allow large profits. Mr.. Major tells us
one OF the elements OF his cement costs $3.75
a pound, and another costs S265 gallon.
while large share OF the sO-called cements
and fluid glue upon the market are nothing
more than sixteen-cent glue, dissolved In
mortar or citric acid, and, In some cases, al
tered slightly 10 color and odOr by the addi-
tiOn OF cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retalls at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents bottle, aDd when dealer
tries TO sell substitute you can depend upon
II that his only object Is 10 make larger profit,
The profit on Majors cement is as much as
any dealer ought 10 make on any cement.
Andthis is d0ubly true In view OF the fact
that each dealer gets his share OF the benefit
OF Mr.. Majors advertising. which now
amounts 10 over 5000 month, throughout
the country.
Insist on having Majors. Don't accept any
offhand advice from adruggls..
Always have a supply OF Majors Cements
on hand
fyOu are at all handy land you will be
sure 10 find that you are good deal more
so than you imaginel you can repair your
rubber boots and family shoes, and any other
rubber and leather articles, with Majors
Rubber Cement and Majors Leather Cement,

dollars year you will thus save.
