CAN'T BUY HAPPINESS.
MISS Rockefe11er, Daughter of the

London paper reports an inter.
view with Miss Rockefeller, the
daughter of the American petroleum
king.
After putting several questions
which the young woman readily an.
swered, the enterprising interviewer
ventured to say: And now, tell me.
as you no doubt belong to the class
of the most envied of all women.

happy?"
Miss Rockefeller is reported to have
replied: Happy? Can one buy hap.
piness with money? Are there not
many things to make us quite unhap.
Ply which money cannot change. and
then are not the spoiled ones more
sensitive in the principles of life than
the others? No; l am not happy. and
you may tell it to all and sundry who
envy me-"

GAMBLING FOR OFFICES.
Religious People of London Scandal
lied by a Recent Occurrence
in Politics.

Some of the ultra religious people
here are expressing establishment that
a tie in the vote for member of the
borough council was decided the other
day by tossing penny, says London
paper. They insist that the element of
chance ought to have been eliminated
from English politics long ago. AS a
matter of fact. there is still a corner
left in the British constitution for King
Chance to build his throne in, and it is
not many years since the house of COM
mons deliberately sanctioned the ap-
peal to chance in certain emergencies.
When city councils were being estab-
lished in Scotland the question arose in
parlia ment as to the choice of chair
man of the joint committee in case of
an equality of votes, and it was pro-
posed that the final decision in that
case be taken by lot. Serious memb
objected to such a frivolous method of
deciding an important matter, but the
mover of the resolution reminded the
house of the apostolic precedent, and
it was decided by a majority that what
was good enough for the election of a
successor to Judas Iscariot was good
enough for the chairman of joint com
mittee. So that the Camberwen cleo
ton is llkely'to stand in law.

says correspondent of the London

Among the manuscripts there should
be, according to the view of the Rus
sian experts, many manuscripts OF
Greek and Roman classics, which were
plundered and carried away by the
Mongols in their wars of deva alton
in Europe in the thirteenth century.
Some European scholars have com.
bated this theory, which was put for.
ward some years ago, but in any case
the question is likely to be definitely
settled at no distant date.
The Mongols first became known and
feared in Europe by the conquests OF
Jenghiz and his house i'm the thirteenth
century. The Huns were'the first wave
of Mongols to burst over Europe They
even broke into Italy. Before the mid,

STORY TELLERS ORGANIZE.
They VIII Receive Protection and
announcement Down
in Maine.

Long distance story tellers have had
a new field opened to them here. At
Waterville, Me-, an organizatio has
been formed with the purpose of bring
ing together the'best and longest yarn
tellers' In Maine and award prizes The
meeting was held in the parlors of the
Elmwood hotel, where, according to the
rules, all the stories must be told. The
official title of the organization is the
"Storyt ellenss' Association of Name
The meetings eof the association will
be held whenever the president shall
secure storytellers who desire to en-
terrain the club. The idea is to give
prizes for the longest and best original
story. The rules will allow story
teller all the time he may ask for the
telling of the STORY, to be continuous,
with time out for meals.
Some of the best >storytellers of the
state have joined the associa ton. John
B. Mason, of Bar Harbor. who holds the
record for long talking, sent letter
of application for mem bership. Mr.
Mason secured his record at st. John,
n. B., in 1895, when he told story,
making it up as he went along, for %
hours. All stories must be free from
features that woruld lbe Objectionable

SPARROW COMMITS SUICIDE.
Grief Over Its Dead Mate Causes
Its Own Death by Elk
hauStiOn.

Two English sparrows were found
dead side by side in field, near Smith
Pond, Cherry Valley, Mass, by party
of gunners. One of the birds had been
dead for some time, but the other ex-
pired while the hunters were within
eyesight, and the men say it was case
of suicide, reports the New York Sun.
The attention of the men was first at
tracted by the distressing cries of the
second bird which was on the shore Of
the pond. The men drew nearer and
watched. The sparrow was seen to put
its head under water and allow it to
remain there for time 1t repeated
this ducking several times at short in
tervals.
The last time the sparrow's head re-
manned under water longer than before
and the men drew closer, only to find
that the bird had hoped to the side of
it's mate and lay there expiring The
hunters said 1t was clear case of sui
eide. They are men of wide experience
in field and forest. and in all their tripa
they said they had never seen a bird
show such attach ment as4was disclosed
by the sparrow which died OF it's OWN
desire.

POOR PAY OF GERMAN JUDGES.
The Profession of Law Is No,
Highly HonOred Among
the TeutOns.

The whole question of the remunera-
tion of public officials in Germany, and
especially in Berlin, is beginning to de-
mand serious attention, says the Lon
don Telegraph. English Scotch or
Irish judges would be amazed if they
were informed of the misera BILE salaries

average-which their German col
leagues receive for labors which in
many cases are far more exacting than
their own. In the days when Prussia
was small agricultural state and the
standard of life in the towns was low
such salaries, combined with the honor
of being Prussian official. may have
been adequate. Nowadays the honor
of the position is the only attraction,
and able men who are poor find an Off
cial career an expensive luxury.
The profession of law, moreover, ex-
cept in it's highest official grades, is
not honored in Germany as it is in Eng
land. Will it be believed that barris-
ter, as such, cannot be received at
court? There is true story of for
eign barrister who was invited to at
tend a court function in Berlin and who
was alsoyrequested. in accordance with

PICTURE COST "A FORTUNE.
One of the Duke of Marlborough's Art
Treasures Worth a Kings
Ransom.

HE costliest picture in the world is
owned by the duke of Marlborough,
who has large and very expensive coli
lection of pictures which has come
down to him from the original duke
of Marlborough, says the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat. The rarest of them
is the B]enheim Madonna" painted by
Raphael in 1907 and now valued at
$350.C00. The picture was originally
painted for the Church of the Servi at
Perugia. II is eight feet high, repre-
senting the madonna and child seated
on throne, with figure of ST. John
the Baptist on the left and that of st.
Nicholas Of Bari on the right, the last
two being life size. It's high value is
DUE to the fact that it is one of the best
preserved of the pictures of Raphael
which are now in existence. It has been
proposed that the British government
buy this picture. Blenheim palace is
so-called in honor of the battle which
the English, under the duke of Marl-
borough. won over the French and was
given to the great soldier by Queen

tan shoes to black, and he told the man

him, at the same time, sum sufficient
to enable him to get the shoes thus

Clearly the man with the shoes was
pleased. Despite his seeming lack of
pecuniary resources, as evidenced not
alone by his odd shoes but by various
other corroborative indica tions about
him, he was not an uncheerful person,
but the receipt of the money made him
more cheerful still. AS to whether he

ENGLISH HENS NOT LAYING.
Fewer Eggs Than Usual This Year
and the British Farmer LIS Said
to BE at Fault.

Another British industry is on the
wane. The British hen is laying even
fewer eggs than usual at this lean time
hen and not man that is behind the
times is denied. The principal reason
given for the shortage is the hide bound
medievalism of the British farmer. The
result is that the average town house
holder can scarcely get dependable
new-laid egg to put upon his break
fast table, even at an extortionate
price. says London paper.
The annual consumption of eggs in
London in the course of a year is esti-
mated at $50, 100000. Great Britain
consumed last year eggs to the value
of e1o,0O0,0OO. English farms could
produce all these without the displace-
ment of other agricultural products.
But so sadly behind his proper place
is the British farmer that he allowed
the foreigner to send in during 1899 no
fewer than 1,94O,O OC, 900 eggs, to the
value of 6 044,392.
The Poultry Organization society de-
fines a new-laid egg as not more than
three days old in warm weather or
five days in winter. Its expert says:
IF the home farmer would only ar
range for his young hens to commence
laying eggs by November land it can
easily be done by Matching early
there would soon be better supply of
new-laid eggs
Here is little illustration showing
the proportion of foreign ones i'm
ported. The eggs consumed in Great
Britain in year, if loaded into rail-
way wagons. would make a train $50
miles long. containing $4,000 trucks. OF
these $50 miles Is would be foreign. so

PIONEERS TO BE HONORED.
EARLY Settlers of Oregon Arc Soon
to Have an Attractive
Monument.

1t has been decided by the pioneer
of Oregon Native Sons, with the con-
currence of the Oregon Native Daugh-
tiers, to hold in Portland next year a
grand ,celebra ton to last a week or
ten days. While the plans are not
fully matured, the consensus of opin-
ion among business men, as expressed
by many tof them, is that it will be
more satisfactory to have it take
the place of the annual exposition;
that we should make it state af-
fair-an exhibition of the wonderful
improvements in manufacturing ap-
planes and machinery in the nearly
threescore years of our governmental
existence and offer every encourage
ment to the people to bring in the his
torical relics they have laid away, says
the Portland Oregonian.
Besides the attractiveness of such
a feature it will give ur historical
society an opportunity to augment it's
already valuable collection. The Ma
tive Sons and Native Daughters are
historical societies, their common OBJ
ject being to see that the history of
the early days of the land of inter
minable woods is duly recorded. The
purpose of this celebration is to raise
money to build monument to the
pioneers. 1t is proposed to erect in
Portland memorial building on one
of the Park row blocks which can be
used as a museum for pioneer relics,
a meeting place for the pioneers, In
dian war veterans and the Oregon
Historical society and as depository
for the archives of the latter.

vile, Pa, was at work with his men,
says the Philadelphia Inquirer. Miss
Laura Conrad, Miss Sallie Nell, Mrs.
Alvin D. Weller and Mrs. Hannah Weld
ner, after watching operations for
awhile, remarked that rapidity did not
seem to be much in evidence in their
work. Mr.. Weller said he thought they
were getting on very we'll, when one of
the women ventured the remark that
they could beat the men at their own
work. The challenge was accepted. It
was agreed that Farmer Weller and h is
assistants should thrash a hundred
sheaves of heat and the four women an
equal number
The women began the contest and
cleaned up their share in record break
ing time. Miss Noll and Mrs. Weller fed
the thrashing machine, while Miss Con-
rad and Mrs. Weidner operated the
gasoline engine. Weller and his men
then took their turn at a hundred
sheaves, but the women were easy VIC
tors.
Mr.. Weller afterward remarked that
their skill in keeping the thrashing
machine just rightly filled with wheat
