Speaking OF the early Plantagcnet Pc
riod, Mr.. Henry, in his History Of
Great Britain" remarks that the num-
Der Of robbers was so great that the
judges could not prevail upon the ju-
ries TO find any Of them guilty.
Even under the most rigorous admin
lstration Of Edward III a numerous
band Of them assailed the town of Bos-
ton In 1915 at the time of the fair, set
1t on fire and carried off an immense
booty in money and goods. Their lead
er, n Robert Chamberlain, a gentle
man Of great power and wealth, was
taken, tried and executed, but he could
not be prevailed upon to discover any
OF his accomplices. As the other rob-
bers Of this period were very numer-
Gus, SO some Of them were very cruel.
and the character which one of their
chiefs wore embroidered upon his coat
in letters Of silver might be applied to
many others-"I am Captain Warner,
commander of a troop of robbers, an
enemy to God, without pity and with
out remorse.' (Henry's History Of
Great Britain" book A, chapter ~
Gentleman's Magazine.

The Fourth of July was observed at
various points in the county and 50 far
as We can learn the exercises were
greatly enjoyed. The celebration at
Gilt Edge was a hummer: the industrial
display was very creditable for a town
of its size. Judge Cheadle made short
but eloquent address and the program
of sports was carried out to the letter.
Only one distressing accident occurred.
Judge Sawyer. marshal of the day,
was struck in the face by a foul ball
while wat hing the game between the
Lewistown and Gilt Edge mines. The
injury required the attention of a sur.
geon. The many friends Of Mr.. sawyer
will regret the accident. as there is ne
man in the county who is more useful
or tries harder to make people happy
on holiday occasions than he. The
judge is able to get around, but he
will be excused il his conversation is q
little on the bias for a few days.

Benton.

When Thomas Hart Benton, the not
ed Missourian, wrote his famous work,
Thirty Years In the United States
Senate" which every one praises and
no n reads, his publishers, ID. Apple
ton & Co., wrote to him asking how
large a first edition should be printed.
His reply was:
"Sir, they can ascertain from the
last census how many persons there
are In the United States who can read,
sir" And that was the only suggestion
he would ever condescend to make.
Benton was massive In body and
muscular. No man In public life was
his equal In physical strength, endur-
ance and courage. In reference to q
quarrel In the senate he once said: 81
never quarrel. sir. l sometimes fight,
sir, and when Benton fights, sir, there
Is always a funeral, sir"
Benton was sturdlly devoted to the
Union. He broke with many friends
In consequence. He bore the cogno-
men "Old Bullion" because Of his sup
port Of bimetallism.

The Lazy. stupIh shay.

"The shag Is the LATEST and most stu
psd form Of life TO be found anywhere
on the globe. II Is IN aquatic fowl,
with big, clumsy looking beak aud with
q form something like the dodo, now
extinct" said n western man. Il have
spent much time In watching this fowl,
which Is found In some OF the shallow
lakes, and the chief point of interest
TO me was the startling stupidity dis
played. They generally squat on
stumps or logs In the lake and watch
for the smaller fish that. play around
the surface Of the water. They are
fairly clever In catching what they
want, and they throw out their bill
with considerable precision when they
gig for game. But they never get to
rat what they catch until they have fed
At least one and maybe more than one
member Of another kind of water fowl.
whenever n shag begins TO catch
fish, n long legged, long necked water
hen will take n place Immediately be-
hind him. When the shag lands n fish,
the water hen simply reaches over and
gets II. Without any show Of resent
ment and without turning around, the
shag viii continue its watch for fish,
md this is kept mp until the water hen
has finished a meal, and then, IL no
other enterprlsing member of the same
tribe zones along, the shag is permit
ted to enjoy the product of Its own
sleepy efforts.
Il have on one occasion seen one shag
feed as many as three water hens be-
fore eating n single fish. 1t is certain
ly a singular display of stupidity, and
after having watched the performance
q number Of times l am convinced that
the shag is actually too dull to ever
know that the water hen stands be-
hind him TO steal the fish out Of his
mouth."-New Orleans Times-Demo-

WAFER MOTOR.
Useful Device Which Works Well and Whose
Cost is Nominal.

Felix Crago, formerly Of Fort Ben

end of the boat are two arms. each

three feet long. The arms work on
shaft set into the center of the stern
ana bow, respectively. Across the
center ~ the boat runs n line shaft,
To which are connected 10y cranks and
shafts the ends oi two blade arms
As ~ shaft descends into the water
the power OF the stream pushes itfor-
ward. When 1t reaches the limit OF
Its shaft the revolution of the crank
lifts II from the water and returns 1t

time dropping the rear blade into the
stream, which action Is prolonged as
the user desires. On one side Of the
main shaft n large cog wheel con-
meets with a Chinese water-lifting de-
vice. The lifts are attached To a
chain, which revOlves through box,
leading upward to almost any
height desired. When the top Of the
box II reached the water Is diverted
