"Georgie," said a fond mother to a
little 4-year-old, "you must take the
umbrella to school with you, or you
will get wet. It rains hard"
Il want the little one," he said,
meaning the parasol.
''No, my dear. That is for dry wealth
err. You must take this and go like a
good boy"
George did as he was bid and got to
school comfortably.
After school hours it had stopped
raining, and George trudged home
with the remnants of the umbrella I'M
der his arm.
"Oh, George, what have you been
doing with my umbrella?" said his
mother when she saw the state it was
in.
'You should have let me had the lit
tie one," said he. "This was such a
great one it took four of us to pull it
through the door. "-Leslie's Weekly.

A RARE VOLUME BY PENN.

| Only Known Copy Is Owned by
Quakers In Philadelphia.
The only known copy Of PENIS issue
of Magma Charta," published in 1887
by the Bradford Press, is the property
of the Meeting For Sufferings repre-
sentative body Of the Friends yearly
meeting in Philadelphia. Its title is
1.-THE Excellent Privilege of Liberty
and Propriety; Being the Birthright OF
the Freedom Subjects of England"
The copy is not generally open to the
public.
The peculiar significance Of this book
is that a half dozen years after Penn
founded his colony he wished to have
the colonists keenly realize that they
would have to stand for their rights in
the new country as well as the old,
where they had been so cruelty perse-
cuted. He wrote this book in order that
they might be informed on the consti-
tuition of their local government and
know what were the legal bases of
their rights as citizens.
4 Curiously enough the only proof
there is that this work was William
PENIS is the statement made by Chief
Justice David Lloyd in 1928, a great
Quaker leader who was PENIS attor-
ney general at the time the book was
issued. Chief Justice Lloyd was also
at that time an intimate friend of Will
liam Penn and consequently knew
whereof he spoke.
i The volume was reproduced in fac
smile by the Philobiblon club in 1897
for a limited number of subscribers.
The original volume, however, must al
ways remain the rare thing that it is,
one Of the best expressions of liberty
under law that the mind of the great
founder could conceive.-Philadelp

VANITY OF SAvAGES.
Red Men Love to Pose In Grotesquc
Attire Before the Camera

AS evidence of the extent to which
the ornamental precedes the useful Ex-
plorer Humboldt noted the fact that
the Orinoco Indians in fair weather
strutted about attired in all the finery
they were able to procure, their faces
painted gaudily, their heads decked
with feathers, their whole aim being to
strike establishment to the beholder
and no regard whatever had for COM
fort.
When the weather was bad, Hum
boldt found that the same men would
dof their clothing and carry it about to
save it for display on future sunny
days.
The same traits are seen today in the
North American Indians, little modified
by many years of intermingling with
civilization.
That part of Pennsylvania avenue,
Washington, running from Second to
Sixth street is the favorite promenade
of visiting Indians. Portions of Sec
ond and Third streets, running off the
avenue, are filled with boarding houses
especially patronized by the redskins
and especially avoided by the whites in
consequence
A number of photographers in the vi
cinity are the chief attractions of this
neighborhood for the aborigines. Moth
ing so delights them as to strut gravely
from their boarding houses to these art
galleries to sit for solemn pictures at
Uncle Sans expense, the bill being
charged in with necessaries incidental
to a visit to the great father.
To deprive the visiting Indian Of the
privilege to sit for his photograph in
full paint and feathers and a grotesque
mixture of cheap ready made garments
with blankets and bear claws would be
the greatest hardship possible to the
chieftains.
Showing the same disposition Hum
boldt noted, the visitors get themselves
up more barbarously the closer they
get to civilization.-St. Louis Republic.

OK. who had a deep, impressive voice.
wirn a pathetic touch to it, delivered
an essay on the egg, explaining its
mysterious character as the germ Of
life. There is a good deal of senti-
ment in the Elk ritual and LenOA
dragged it's very depths. After the
candidate had been moved to his very
soul by this vision of the origin of life
remember he was blindfolded- Billy
would say solemnly:
'And now, brothers, we will break
the sacred egg"
He raped it against the neophyte's
head--which might be bald-the con-
terrible stencil flooded the nostrils Of
the victim. Then the voice of LenOx
could be heard as if secretly to his
mates:
Heaven, boys, the egg is spoiled"
Those who have been through the
| ordeal say it is fearful-the dripping
of the noisome mass through the hair
and beard, and that frightful odOr
from which there was no escape for
the bound victim. Candidates have
been known to break out in fearful i'm
precautions, and in a rage that would
mean violence if they but could have
the use of arms or legs.
1t made no difference that the egg
was the mere shell filled with pure wa
ter and the stencil arose from chemi-
calls in bottle held under the vic
TINS nose. He does not know this at
the time.
A Goat ON the Caeapult Plan.
Another feature is the goat-no ordi-
nary imitation goat, but truly won
derful mechanism as big as a pony,
with, seemingly, eight different mo-
tons. The victim grabbed it about
the neck and first the motions were
to one side with all the force of a
catapult; then up; then in another di-
| rection. And the harder the neophyte
clutched the thing, the more deter
mined the jolts he received.

The EIks fN Milwaukee.

The Elks, who carnivalled last week
in Milwaukee, were founded as an Or
der in 1868. It consists of one grand
lodge and upward of 625 sub-lodges,
containing more than 10000 members
in the United States. Originally re-
cruited mainly from theatrical and rail-
road men, the order has found wide
favor, and today it's membership rep
reSents all the professions and every
line of business The Madison lodge
numbers about 100, and having pur-
chased a lot on Monona avenue for
$4,000, the plan is to build $4,000

The order is made up of men whose
social side is strongly developed. It
is to be hoped the Newspaper en-
phasis laid on the canvivial habits Of
the Elks is exaggerated. The practice
of a II z III. libation is sufficiently
unfriendly to home life without ex-
pansion under the discovery that Its

be as severe as anything in the way
of secret societies since the Knights Of

Irvine from grass is cry that may
be heard more and more, as the few
plants up north report progress. 1t
seems that there are a million acres in
Wisconsin and Minnesota alone on
which grows this "wire grass" (carex
stricta). 1t is unlike common grass, in
that it is provided with a solid stem
without joints. 1t has no lateral
leaves, but the round blades grow
straight from the roots to an avera sc
height of three or four feet, forming
one continuous fibre. The true grasses,
on the other hand, are hollow stems
with joints and lateral leaves. Ami
mails will not eat the stuff because it
is tough and with a minimum of nu-
triment and the land it grows on seems
to have no value. The demand for
Irvine is ever growing and the con-
Germs that are working not only Irvine
grass, but rugs, ETC., from field prod
ucts are confident they are on a profit
able lead.
Superior's Notable Early Investors.
The plan of Madison's 10000 club
does not seem so visionary in view
of what Superior did between 1890
and 1900-increasing it's population
from 1888 to 31,091, a gain of 159
per cent 1t was about 1852 that far
sighted people saw that Superior's To-
cation was full of promise. and proba-
bly, no community in the west had so
| many notables specializing in it's land.
In the list were Corcoran, the Wash
ingtOn banker, Vice President Breckin-
ridge, Robert J. Walker, secretary of
the treasury, United States senator's,
railroad magnates, etc. The name Of
Daniel Webster is found as an owner
OF Stoughton Dane county, property
at a time little earlier than the ex-
ploitation Of Superior. 1t was the time
OF the opening up Of new state, and
of government surveys, and Wiscon-
sin and other representatives in con-
gress told hopeful tales Of the future
OF this new country which led their
| distinguished associates to invest.
How 1t looked in 1857.
/ James Bardon, writing for the SD
perior Telegram, says: when the
writer landed here from a Cleveland
steamer early in July, 1857, Superior
was a busy, booming place. Every
thing was new, buildings were going
up all sides, streets being opened and
graded, the one large hotel and sever
III smaller ones were filed with guests,
fine steamers from Cleveland and Chi
cago were arriving and departing al
most daily, loaded with excursionists,
fortune hunters and merchandise.
1.-The panic of 1857 came like a
thunderclap to Superior. Hundreds
went away that fall and the exodus
continued so great during the next
three years that in 1860 the population
had dwindled to S12."

Couldn,t Menr Shoes.

Sumpter, ILL.,, Sept 9.-Mrs. j. B.
Flanagan of this place had suffered
with Dropsy for fifteen years. She was
so very bad that for the last three years
she has not been able to wear her shoes.
She had doctored all the time, but was
gradually getting worse.
Last winter Mr.. Flanagan, who was
very much discouraged, called for some
medicine at Mr.. j. j. Dales drug store
in Carmi. Mr.. Dale persuaded him to
have his wife try Dodds Kidney Pills,
and he bought six boxes. His wife
used five out of the six, before she was
entirely cured. She is now as sound
and well as ever she was, completely
restored to health, and free from any
symptom whatever of Dropsy.
To say that Mrs. Flanagan is pleased
at her wonderful delverance does not
half express her feelings, and she and
Mr.. Flanagan are loud in their praises
of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and of Mr. Dale
for recommending this wonderful rem
edy to them.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills
cured Mrs. Flanagan of such a severe
case of Dropsy, after the doctors had
given her up, has made them the most
talked of remedy ever known in White
County.

Artificial Electric Fountains.

An Italian contemporary describes
at some length the artificial electric
fountains which M. G. Trouve has
lately erected. He uses glass beads,
rice, small culluloid balls or Other
round or variously shaped small solid
bodies and n Jet Of air, blown by a
centrifugal pump, as a means for
keeping them in motion. When these
objects are projected through jet
in the usual way by a stream of air
and then Illuminated magnificent
effects, comparable to those of the
electric fountain, are produced. AS
the apparatus required is small and the
material is used over and over again
some use may be found for it in
luxurious interiors and for stage or
spectacular decorations. The color
and illumination, as well as the shape
and arrangement of jets, can, OF
course, be varied as easily with
fountains of rice or glass beads as
with fountains of water.

At BREAK OF DAY.

At break of day the birds all sing,
And soar on low or lofty wing
To try the ambient air.
'Tis then the timid birds are tame.
It's then their feathers are aflame.
tbs then they have no care.
AT break of day each vine and tree
is fringed with frost-hke filigree,
And flowers open fair;
The rainbow on the grass is seen,
And never was there any queen
So rich in diamonds rare.
At break of day towards Orient
Is many wistful vision bent
To see the prospect change.
II is as if foreign land
Came floating in on every hand,
So wonderful and strange.
We see at early dawn of day
Things all too glorious to stay
They vanish from our sight.

AS higher up life's sun doth go,
Till comes the darkening night.

mountain high and disregarded until
chemists discovered that the gold was
soluble in potassium cyanide, and
that by washing in very weak solu-
ton of potassium cyanide the failing
gold could be profitably separated
from the refuse. The same process
has led to the working of low-grade
ores running $4 or IS to the ton,
which could not be profitably worked
by the ordinary mining processes.
The silver contained in lead has
been similarly freed and utilized
1t was found by chemists that when
the melted lead was mixed with zinc
the silver formed an alloy with the
zinc and fioated to the surface.
When this mass was taken from the
lead and heated in a retort the zinc,
being volatile, was driven off and left
a deposit so rich in silver that it was
easily purified.
