teresting from historical point of
view in the city. 1t was here that the
city of New York had its being. In
1915 a small log fort was erected on
this site. and was replaced in 1926 by
red cedar palisade surrounding
storehouse. The structure could not
have been a very formidable one, for
the old traditions say that on one
occasion a well-developed billy goat
butted his way through the palings.
Near here the first church erected on
Manhattan island the Reformed
Dutch church-was begun in 1888. In
1857 the old fort was demolished and
it was then believed that the United
States government would be perma-
nently located in New York city. The
building was of red brick with Ionic
columns, and for those days was an
imposing structure. When the gov
eminent was removed to Philadelphia
the house served as the residence of
the state governors, but in the early
part of 1900 it was used as a United
States custom house. In 1915 it was
takSn down and large block of build
ings erected in it's place.
For 30 years Bowling Green was the
scene of an annual cattle fair. which

ed to the city by the crown. 1t was
erected on Bowling Green, in a space
surrounded by an iron railing con-
structed by the citizens at a cost of
| G 500. There the statue remained un-
til July 9, 1776, when the declaration
of independence, having been read
from the steps of the city hall in Wall
street, the crowd made a wild rush
for Bowling Green and, with many
acclGmations of anger. tore the effigy
from its pedestal and broke it into
pieces. The metal was sent to oliver
Wolcott, at Litchfieid, Conn, and he
and his wife and daughters nodded il
into 10000 bullets, and thus the statue
of King George and his horse was fired
into the bodies of his own soldiers and
helped to proclaim the liberty of Amer
lea.
And it was from this historical Bowl

Chicago's master also owns cat and
the two animals perform very funny
little comedy. He ties Chicago to a
door, puts the cat in bag with its head
out for air, and goes out leaving some
food on table. Chicago slips his head
out of the collar and eats the food.
Then he carries the cat to the table,
puts it by the side of the empty plate
and slips his head through the collar.
The master returns, finds the food gone
and pretends to, be angry. He is about
to punish the cat when Chicago comes
forward and in dumb show confesses
that he is the guilty party. - Littls

Sixth avenue the express trains are
bringing the women folk into the
heart of the shopping district. On
the side streets the little shops are
thrown open to the byways, and on
the Bowery--well, the Bowery is an
apparently never ending midsummer
fair and pleasure grounds. There the
storekeepers do not pretend to do
business within doors. Their wares
are all displayed upon the street.
Men lounge about the corners, and
women and children pass to and fro.
And so it is on every little crooked
street in the lower part of town. And
on the broad avenues as far up as
Washington Heights one may see the
people walking on the streets or sit
ting on their doorsteps in the cool of
the evening.
But the favorite parade ground of
the New Yorker is Broadway. Bfoad-
way is his pride and his delight. 1t
is there that you may see the true
type of the New Yorker. Broadway is
never deserted. From the earliest
morning hour till the last flicker of
the electric light the strollers are
there. In the area between Forty
second street and Thirtyfourth street
one may see more actors and actress
es in the open air on pleasant aft
ernoon in Is minutes than he could
observe in a weeks tour of the the
aters.
This love of outdoor life has so i'm
pressed itself upon the people here
that they only go under roof when
| the weather or their business compelS
| them to. In the summer time they
seek their recreation on the street
and in the open air of the roof gar
dens, and they endeavor, as far as
| possible. to eat their meals unham-
pered by the confines of brick, stone
and mortar. Not only do the lower
| classes eat from counters in front of
lunch stalls on the street and from
| palatial eating ears that are driven
about here and there, but those more
favored by wealth and position are
never so happy as when they are din
| ing in a restaurant thrown open to
the town by wide doors and windows.
| The restaurant of one swell Broadway
| hotel has come as near being on the
street as is possible and still remain

under a roof. Facing on Broadway, it
commands a broad view of that thor
oughfare. On the Forty-second street
side the tables are so close to the open
windows that one sitting there might
as we'll dine on the sidewalk. A pass
er-by can readily reach in and help
himself to any of the dishes on the
tables.
This Broadway of the New Yorker
is highly beloved street. The stran-
ger without the gates hears of Broad
way before he knows there is really
such place as New York. And when
one stops to think about it, Broadway
is older than New York. 1t began its
career when the town of New Ans ter
dam was founded. When the sturdy
Hollanders laid out their squat little
town they established only TWO roads.
One was on the line of Stone and
Pearl streets (the latter in those days
was the water 'front.' which led from
the fort. located about where Peck

Turkeys Adopt a Partridge.

In Kentucky, a young girl on farm
has large flock of turkeys, which she
calls her own One day they rambled
away in the hills near the house, and
when they returned at nightfall, a
youNg partridge was with the flock.
In their rambles the partridge, pre-
sumably an orphan, fell into the ranks
of the little turkeys, and, finding ths
company coneenial, forsook the field,
stayed in the barnyard and orchard,
and after that never for moment left
the turkeys, eating and roosting on q
limb with them. Anyone who knowa
how shy the partridge is will appreciate
the Singularity of this occurrence.

BE HONEST AND TRUE.
Be honest and true, boys!

Be honest and true, boys!
Whatever you do, boys,
Let this be your motto through life.
Both now and forever,
Be this your endeavor,
When wrong with the right is at strife
The best and the trueSt,
Alas are the fewest;
But be one of these if you can.
In duty ne'er fail; you
Will find twill avail you,
And bring it's reward when a man.
Don't think life plain sailing;
There's danger of failing,
Though bright seem the future to be;
But honor and labor,
And truth to your neighbor,
viii bear you safe over lifes sea.
Then up and be doing,
Right only pursuing,
And take your fair part in the STRIFE.
Be honest and true. boys,
Whatever you do, boys,

EXPLOSION CAUSES PANIC.


The people at Horton, w. Va, :
town on the West Virginia railroad,
were badly frightened at midnight.
There was IA loud rumbling, followed
by q terrific explosion, back on the
mountain, that made the earth
heave. Many Of the villagers thought
the world was coming to an end, and
fell on their knees and began pray
Ing. Some of those who were not too
badly frightened went out to ainvesti-
gate. When they reached the locality
whence the report seemed to come,
the ground was found to be so hot
that it almost burned their. feet, while
the air was filled with sitting smoke.
The opinion prevails that the mys-
terious occurrence was the result of
subterranean disturbance. There is
supposed to be coal oil in that loca-
tion, and many at first thought that
the explosion had been caused by the
oil becoming ignited by burning
brush. The village of Horton is two
miles away from where the disturb
ance occurred, yet the houses rocked
and the occupants were nearly thrown
from their beds. The people refused
to go to work the next morning. The
mountain is so densely covered with
jack oak that it is almost impossible
to penetrate it. This has in a meas
ure prevented a full investigation.

+ Rev. DR.. Joseph S. jerks, formerly

time with Griswold college in Indiana,
left New Orleans the other day with
a faculty Of teachers and instruments,
apparatus and supplies for the es-
tablishment of an American college
for girls at Santa Cruze de Yoioa,

visited Honduras on a pleasure trip,
when he found that all the better
class of natives wanted their girls to
be given an American education and
taught the English language, believ-
ing that it was the destiny of the
country to become some day a part
of the United States. Upon the soic-
itation of leading citizens of Hon
duras, including two former pres
idents, DR.. jerks was induced to open

an American education has SO spread

Under proceedings instituted by Gov.

sioners, for the first time in the history
of the stale, railroad board has called
the railroads to account. The compan-
les have conceded the justice of the de-
mand for revision of rates, and, as a
result, d manufacturer or wholesaler
in h place outside the twin cities, can do
business on equal terms with these favor
ed localities. For this great benefit the
people of Minnesota are indebted to
Gov. Lind and his faithful railroad
board. If the citizens of the state wish
to see this good work 60 on, they must
retain the services of the tried and faith

begun it. This is matter which. to

The Minneapolis Tribune makes a
somewhat startling admission If weak
ness when it states the fact that Mark
Hanna will make a stumping tour of
Minnesota and that considerable por-
ton of his effort will be put forth IN the
second congressional district. Can it be
possible that they are not so cock sure
of carrying Minnesota either for McKin-
ley or Van SAINT? Does it also imply
that Mathews of Marshall, to whom
they have so often slightingly referred,
has at last come to be considered real
opposition to Schoolmaster McCleary?
1t is stated by Verify, of the Tribune,
that Hanna will certainly speak at Man.
