prevails throughout the country. After
commenting on the opportunities Of the

connection with which he touched upon
British Columbia and Alaska, Mr.. Price re-
ferred to the advantages given by the
holding Of Manila and those which the
opening Of the Nicaraguan canal would
give. He said that the last war had ad-
vertised us to SUCH an extent that all coun-

cheaper than any nation in the world, even

Man Arrested Wearing a Hat Stolen
From Brick Haven.
A man who gave his name as George
Wilson is In custody in Baltimore with
several offenses charged against him. When
arrested there last week his picture was
taken and copy of it was sent to the po-
lice in this city for identification. The pic
ture showed four holes in the mans hat
and Captain Boardman remembered that a
hat Of this description had been taken from
the brickyard of the Jackson-Phillips Com
pany, near Brick Haven, last week. The
hat was obtained and identified by John L..
Norwood, cashier at the backyard, as his
property. In addition to the holes the
initials of the owner were in the hat.
The prisoner when arrested said he was a
steamfitter from Columbia, South Carolina,
looking for employment. Sheriff Palmer
was notified, but as there are charges pend
ing against Wilson In Baltimore the Vir-
ginia authorities will probably not be able
to get him.

The Neglected Voice.

The voice is the most common and at
the same time the most complex Of hu-
man faculties. When we listen TO it,
we realize nothing Of the many influ-
ences at work in its use. Yet it repre-
sents the character, the mood, the tenn
permanent and the health Of the individ-
ual when left to run in its own way.
If uncontrolled, it will develop much as
q flower garden will develop; the rank
and weedy nature will come to the
front, and the tones Of exquisite beau
ty will be obscured Bad daily habits
in the use Of the voice will give it
many disagreeable qualities. If con-
trolled, the voice will keep its weeds in
the background and permit only its
beauties to be known. If cultivated,
the weeds will be taken out and the
flowers developed.-Pittsburg Press.

JACK TAR'S GROWl.
A Story illustrating the Snilor'a
Habit OF GrumblinE.

II SlOES 1AOsNGaSiAS tNS Sl-a3oE
Habit OF GrumblinE.
The author of "From Edinburgh to
the Antarctic" writing Of the sailors
habit Of grumbling, says: The dinners
are all the same-that is to say, Mon
days dinners are all alike, and what
we have today we shall have this day
six months hence. Jacks forefather
this day 100 years ago had the same
menu and made the same uncompli-
mentary remarks about the dishes, and
100 years hence on this day Jacks chill
dren will growl over their salt horse
and plumless duff" The author also
tells this yarn" to illustrate that
Jacks habit of grumbling can't be
cured and must be endured:
Once upon q time there lived a skip
per whose wife said to him that if she
went to sea the poor men would never
find fault with their food. Her hus-
band took her with him on voyage,
and the good woman attended to the
cooking in the galley herself.
The scouse was thick with fresh veg
etables, the bread was white and with
out weevils, the meat was good, and
the duff was almost half plums, but
still the men growled.
Then the shippers wife thought Of
the hens she had brought on board to
lay eggs for her husbands breakfast.
She took them out of the coop, wrung
their necks with her own fair hands,
plucked them, roasted them. and sent
them to the forecastle on the cabin
china.
"Now the men," she said to herself,
twill know how much we think Of their
comfort"
At eight bells she stole forward to
the forecastle to listen to the praise Of
her skill as q cook. She looked down
the hatch and saw q big black fist
plunge q fork into the hen and heard a
hoarse voice growl, Il say, Bill, what
dye think this 'ere bloody fowl died
OFF,"

Grape on the Door.

The custom Of placing Grape on the
door of a house where there has been q
recent death had its origin in the an
cient English heraldic customs and
dates back to the year 100 A. D. At
that period Indictments, or armorial
ensigns, were placed in front Of houses
when the nobility or gentry died. The
Indictments were Of diamond shape
and contained the family arms quar-
tered and covered with sable.

Gallup How She Thought He Ought
to Run the Funeral.
(Copyright, 1900, by c. B. Lewis.]
As Mr.. Gallup lighted his tin lantern
after supper and started out to buy
half o pound Of Rio coffee for break
fast and call at the postoftice Mrs. Gal
lup was in excellent spirits and had
most of the dishes ready for washing.
He was absent So minutes, and when
he arrived home he found her huddled
up in the big rocking chair, with a pill
low behind her head and the camphor
bottle in her hand. She took three long
shifts at the bottle and gave three long
drawn signs as he entered, but it was
labor thrown away Mr.. Gallup blew
out his lantern and hung it up behind
the cellar door, and, having deposited
the coffee on shelf in the pantry, he
removed and hung up his coat and hat,
sat down and took off his shoes and
then, taking q circular from his pock-
ct and putting on his glasses with
great deliberation, began to read. 1t
was circular regarding new discov-
cry in the cure of consumption, and he
had not yet finished with the first tes-
tinonial when Mrs. Gallup sobbed four
times in succession and family asked:
Samuel Gallup, do you know that
your dyin wife is present in the ROOM"
He made no reply. That testimonial
from one who had been cured after
his coffin had been purchased made
him hold his breath as he read.
"Yes; she is present" dolefully con-
tinued Mrs. Gallup after several sniffs
