When Tulips Nesriy Overturned Holland
The ancestral bulbs i,of the tulips,
which give our flower gardens Of to-
day such graceful form and superb
color, once came near overturning the
little kingdom Of Holland. The nation

madness, and nearly all other business
was neglected in consequence. Every
body was frenzled with the fever to
speculate In tulips, and as much as
5000 was paid for a single bulb

why He Left Hls Wife and Joined tho
y; chsrokees Is stnI Z Mystery.
A mystery in which the American
people were once deeply concerned was
that which Swallowed the life Of one Of
the most remarkable characters Of the
country. In 1929 Samuel Houston. or,
as he called and signed himself, Sam"
Houston. was governor Of Tennessee.
1t was In the midst of q campaignsfor
reelection to the gubernatorial chair
that Tennessee was startled by re-
port that he had resigned his office.
He had been married to the daughter
Of an influential family; three months
afterward she returned to her fathers
house, and her husband resolved to
pass the rest of his life in the wilder
ness. Houston betook himself to the
tribe of Cherokees in the Indian terri
tory; he adopted their costume, ap-
pearing in all the trappings OF an In
dian brave, letting his hair grow down
his back, and visiting Washington
with buckskin hunting shirt, yellow
leggings, huge blanket. and turkey
feathers around his head. No one could
induce him to reveal the secret OF his
metamorphosis and his abandonment
of the ways and habits Of civilization.
He married again safter he emerged
from his Indian life. and he lived to be
an old man, dying in the midst OF the
civil war, but no one was ever able
to persuade him to unlock the mystery
of his life. Nor would his first wife,
who also married again. throw any
light on the mystery.-Ladies Home

Naturally Rev. Mr.. Bean and ia 0s-
culiarities have been the subject nf
much comment, and he has often been
called upon for an explanation Of his
philosophy. In an article which he
wrote for the current National Review
he sums up his ideas in the following
words:
When the body was intrusted to my
care 1t was perfect in its organism. l
am supposed to keep 1t free from all
contamination; to keep 1t pure and nm
denled: to uniformly develop all my
faculties and all parts Of my body to
their highest capacity. that I may

nearly as possible that which God has

NAMES NOTED OUTLAW.

Lewiston Cor. of Boston Advertiser
George Washington Jones, of North
Wa1doboro, in Lincoln county is by ali
odds the most picturesque figure in the
state just at present.
George has gone into business as an
outlaw. He is attending right to IT
steadily, and so far he has met with en-
tire success. He is standing off the high
sheriff and deputies and all the consta-
bulary of the county Of Lincoln, and APP
pears to be doing it with comparative
ease. He has won the SObriQuet of The
Terror of the Woods" When his neigh
bors see him coming they discreetly step
to one side There are various suspic
ions as to what might happen to the pri-
vate citizen who would tackle, trip or
trihe with G. w. Jones while he is en-
gagged in the outlaw business. AS 20
what Jones can be expected to do to off,
GERS who chance to run against him he
has already shown. There are haM
dozen black eyes and sore shins scatter
ed around among Lincoln's constabula1y
as the result of getting up against Out
law Jones.
The Terror of the Woods stands six
feet four inches in his stockings and is
big tcordin' tew." He isn't exactly
vicious man nor a. bloodthirsty one. He
doesn't yearn to slaughter any one, but
he is determined TO resist arrest.
Some months ago it was discovered
that George Washington Jones was

his neighbors 1t had been known in the
community for a long time that Mr..
Jones wasn't as careful as he should be
about property rights. At last several
fragrant thefts and robberies were traced
to him. He insisted in his conversation
with several parties who went to him 10

wanted and should steal whenever it
suited him to steal
Long immunity had made Jones both
bold and a braggart. At last his talk
grew little too strong for even the toll
Grant folks of Lincoln, who were willing
to see an outlaw do well if he doesn't
get too uppish. But uppishness isn't for
given in Lincoln county, even in outlaws
Therefore complaint was lodged against
Mr.. Jones. A constable went to arrest
him George Washington Jones cuffed
the constable and sent him home. The
constable reported and resigned, and
bigger constable was sent George
Washington Jones had more of job

cutting was administered.
The high sheriff of the county was
notified. He sent one Of his deputies.
The deputy had a rough and tumble

to the sheriff. and he came himself and
brought several deputies. One of the
deputies located George. This deputy

These magnates, each in its turn, were
pioneers of progress, like the scouts of a

OUR ATTITUDE IN CHINA.
Minister Conger Signs Presented
Agreement With Reservations

New York, Dec. IA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Il has developed that Minister Conger
signed the agreement, drafted by the
ministers in Pekin and presented to
Prince Ching on Monday, with several
important reservations. Among these
reservations are the following: Rejec ton
of the terms agreed upon by the powers
and presented to the Chinese ENJOYS
does not bind the United States to join
the other powers in resuming hostilities.
The United States is not bound to
maintain permanent guards in China. or
to prevent the importation of arms and
ammunition.
Other reservations were made by Mr..
Conger, but their character will not be
made public by Secretary Hay until he
receives from the minister the text CT
the language he employed.
Mr.. Conger, of course, acted under
instructions in appending to the agree
ment statement of the position of the
United States. The authorities were APP
prahensive that the powers, in case of
the refusal of China to accede to the de-
nands, would be under the impression
that by signing the agreement this gov
eminent was pledged to enforce compis-
ance with the terms. The pI esident did
not propose to be placed N any such po-
sitIon, and he directed Mr. Conger, there
fore, to make clear the attitude of the
