means of preventing unnecessary de-
struction of native plants, and In theli
instructions to exhibitors have de
clared that more than three specimens
of single species of plant In a bottle
will disqualify the bottle for exhibition
to the amount of the excess. This will
effectually prevent any exhibitor from

beautiful flowers for the purpose OF
making big display. Nature books

ANGLERS SONG.

Away, away, to the brookside green,
Ia the mornings earliest flush,
TO the purling brook where the alders
lean
Gracefully DER the waters rush,
And the golden sun. with its many -hued
sheen,
Makes the tinted wavelets blush.
The Lakewood rod, with its supple tip.
Is sound and strong as a pinei
But, arching, it bends with a dainty DIP
When the brook trout strains the line,
And the spray flies high when the nshs
lip
Is pierced by the hooks sharp tine.
The tackles strong and the waters right,
SO there's chance for luck to-day;
With the wind in the south and the sun
not bright.
Our creels will surely weigh,
Ere with weary feet, by the goamings
light,
Homeward, we wend our way.
And where the messy bank Is sprayed
By the waters roaring fall,
Meath the slender birehes' hickering
shade,
Well rest and thankful, recall
That, of sports the Fates for men have
made,
Angling's the best of all.

SALT SERVES AS A HOoDoo

How Superstitious Cleveland Women
Cat Even with Their Landlords.
A number of Cleveland women had a
little discussion the other day over
new form of hoodoo. at least 1t was new
to most of them. 1t is species of
applied incarnation that is resorted to
by tenants who want to get even with
the landlord or the landlords agent.
When they leave. after the last load Is

A Boy Fiddle Maker.

the title won by Harry Evans, IA
year-old boy living at Syracuse, N. Y.
Last March the boy started In to make
a fiddle after the Stradivarlus model
He got books from public libraries
treating on the subject, and then sup
pleid himself with fine seasoned woods
from far away places. Then with the
best tools he could get, he went to
work. getting up at o'clock In the
morning, that he might have time for
his violin making before school, When
his first violin was completed he found
that 1t weighed too much, according TO
the Stradivarius standard, so with in
finite patience he took 1t all apart and
smoothed and sandpapered the sur
faces until 1t was reduced to the proper
weight. Then he invited all the must
clans of note In the city to come and
hear 1t, for he Is something of a violin
player as well as maker. Every one
proclaimed the fiddle a marvel in work
manship and tone, and its maker n
genius. He is a nephew Of the actor
Charles Riegel, of New York.

ODD WHITE HOUSE INDUSTRY.
Mira. McKinley,s Pleasure in One of Her
Chosen Avoca atoms.

Mira. Mckin1eyts Pleasure in One OF her
Chosen Avocations.
A recent visitor at the White House
found the wife of the President busy,
as usual knitting the wooden tops to
slipper soles. A pleasant protest that
the first lady of the land should SO
steadily employ herself was well an
swered. Why shouldn't she knit the
slippers? 1t was about all she could do
in her state Of health.
And then the gentle lady told with
undisguised satisfaction of the sale of
pair of her slippers at a New Eng
land fair for good purpose. The Slip
pers had brought $3.50, which had gone
for the benefit of the cause. II there
existed a desire for the possession Of
a pair of slippers knitted by the wife Of
the President measured by such a sum,
why should she not try to meet it, and
thereby extend help to worthy objects:
Mrs. Mckinley defended her vocation
admirably. Frequent requests for some
handiwork of the Presidents wife to
be utilized for the benefit of charity or
church come to the White House. None
Is refused so long as Mrs. Mckinley
has the strength to fulfill them.
Relating to the leather soles of these
slippers, there is a story which en-
hances their value Mrs. Mckinley told
1t recently. On one occasion, early in
the first term, Vice President Hobart
came into the presence of the lady
while she had her knitting In hand. He
picked up from a table near by sole
upon which work had not begun.
Where do you get these?" he asked
when he had learned Of the charitable
purpose Of the industry.
Mrs. Mckinley replied that she
bought the soles by the dozen.
"Well," said the Vice President,
these are made at my factory. l will
see that hereafter you are supplied
with the soles for the slippers without
cost. That shall be my contribution to
the good work"
From that day, so long as he lived,
Vice President Hobart saw that the
stock of soles as often as it ran low
through Mrs. McKinley's industry was
replenished. And since the death of the
Vice President Mrs. Hobart has kept
up the contribution from the factory.

At length came the fatal day of her
departure, and after seeing her off Roy

metropolis.
Two days later Albert followed him
to town. 1t was but forlorn hope, but
1t occurred to him that he might pur-
suade the glrl-for a consideration Of
course-to be merciful and release his
brother from any foolish promises he
may have made.
AS Albert did not know much about
London, he determined to seek the as
sistance and advice of his uncle, Lord

party was In full swing.

What "Sardonic Smile. Mems.

The origin of many of our common
words makes an interesting study. We
often hear in conversation or read In
books about sardonic smile or n sar-
uonlc grin, but we never stop to think
that "sardonlc' Is derived from the
name of an island In the Mediterranean
oea-sardinia. There grows in Sar-
dlnia certain plant which when eaten
Fuckers the face of the eater into Il
peculiar expression resembling a smile.
IRON the grin caused by eating of the
sandman plant, smile that persons
luce sometimes wears, which, as Web
s'ers dictionary says, gives the APP
pearance OF mirth or happiness, but
covering pain or misery" Is said to be
sardonic.

LITTLE Opposition TO the Bill.

A letter received at Muskogee
from Chief Porter, who is now
in Washington, states that the
bill authorizing the incorpora-
ton of private corporations in
the Indian Territory will soon be
passed by congress, as there is
practically, no opposition to it
from any direction. The bill
puts the incorporation laws of
Arkansas in force in the Indian
Territory and provides means
for carrying the laws into effect.
The necessity of making such a
law applicable TO the Indian
Territory has long been felt by
the large commercial and indus
trial enterprises doing business
within its limits, it having here
tofore been necessary to take
out incorporation papers in
other states aud territories.
