Music For Fish Bait.

An eccentric hermit named William
Schueller, who lives at Franklin, Mich,
is said to be one of the most successful
fishermen in his part of the country,
and he claims to call the fish to him
by singing old Hundredth." He goes
out in his boat and takes a station in
fairly deep water. Thu he sings. ut
the same time keeping n eyes on the
water in search of fish. Gradually the
fish crowd about his beat, he claims.
and when enough are gathered togeth-
err the willy fisherman casts q net and
catches dozens at single haul. The
old gentleman has famous voice, and
his neighbors are inclined to believe
his strange story.-Chicago Record.

And tbs glory Of sunset is here
Too sad 10 the hight the far halltops defining
In outlines too pensively clear.
Though fair was the morning its gladne~ u psse.
And the days brightest beams are reserved IT,
the last.
The morn is for growth, and the noontids 10
stronger
In all that IL bravest and best,
But the hands become weary % shadows grow
longer,
And we look to the evening for rest.
And why should we sigh for the mornings delight
When ripe for the quiet and peace Of the night?
Turn net to the east when the day is declining,
Nor muse on the past with q tear,
When bright DER the hilltops the red light 70

And the glory Of sunset is here.
Enjoy, then, the moment, the brightest and bests
When morning is dawning away in the west.

WASHINGTON AND BURR.


ALLEGED Cause Of the Break Between
the Two Great Men.
An old lawyer, speaking Of dramatic
incidents in court, said: "Jere Clemens,
q once famous United States senator
from Alabama told of trial in which
Eur appeared for the defense of a
man charged with murder. My recol-
lection is that the trial was in the
southwest.
"When Burr addressed the jury. 1t
was night. The guilty man was in the
room. He had been the principal wit
ness for the prosecution. but Burr had
learned that this witness was the as
sassin, and In closing his address for
his client he picked up two lighted
candles from the table, and. holding
them in the face Of the witness refer
red to, he exclaimed Gentlemen OF
the jury, there Is natures verdict. Now
write yours At that moment the wit
ness fed from the room. After Glenn
ems told this story he wrote his
torical novel called The Rivals; or, The
Times of Hamilton and Burr In that
book he wove the incident into one Of
the chaptex. The book Is out of print
and has been for many years. But it
had a great sale. particularly in the
south. before the civil war. for Glenn
ems was typical southern orator and
a man of wonderful personal mag
netism. The object of the novel was
to make Burr a hero and to besmirch
Hamlton's character.
"In one chapter where Burr was high
in the esteem of Washington the latter
is represented as reading a letter from
Hamilton in which Hamilton detailed
some scandalous gossip about Burr.
Burr was standing behind Washington
during the reading Of the letter. Wash
ington. incensel at the contents of the
letter. turned quickly and saw Burr. to
whom he said. How dare you read my
letter over my shoulder Burr. as
Clemens represents, stung to the quick.

A Bill Posters Trick,

"Of course we used to put up small
bills wherever they'd catch the eye,"
said q bill poster who travelled with q
circus making one day stands, land
one thing we used to do that always
pleased folks was to hang bill from
q ceiling. You had to have a wooden
ceiling, to start with, and then all you
wanted, besides the bills, was a tack
and silver dollar. 1t took practice to
do 1t, but when you'd got the knack it
was very simple and easy.
you attached two bills together, one
at the foot of the other so that 1t would
hang down when the first one was at
tached to the ceiling. Then you folded
the bills up, with tack, thrust point
upward through the top fold of the up
per bill. with silver dollar under it,
up against it's head and between it and
the other folds of paper under it.
Then, some time when the room was
full of people-this might be hotel Of
fee or perhaps barroom-you tossed
the bills up, and there was weight
enough In the dollar to drive the tack
into the ceiling far enough to hold.
Then the weight of the paper itself
and Of the dollar would open the bills
out, and the coin would drop and you'd
catch 1t as 1t fell, and the chances are
that not one man in FIVE would see it
fall. The bills would be seen, fasten-
ed up there somehow, most Of the peo-
pie wouldn't know how, and opening
out with the lower bill, hanging SO you
could read It.
'"This was not the greatest thing in
bill posting ever was, but, as l said be-
fore, always pleased folks."-New

The State Of Affairs Said to Exist n
the Government Service.
"Why ls 1t that women are practical
ly debarred from receiving promotions
to the higher places In the government
service" asked q government clerk of
q quarter Of a century's experience.
The question was put to several ladies
in the treasury department. Before
any one of them had time to reply the
Questioner proceeded to answer bis
own interrogatory.
ut is because they are held back by
members of their Own SEX" he said.
''Some time ago lady In one division
l know of was SO favorably regarded
that she would have been made chief
of that division, but as soon as her
prospects became known her fellow
clerks Of the same sex became indig-
nant and united in protest They de-
clared that they could never work I'M
der her; that they would thousand
times rather have man than woman
to boss them. They wouldn't allow
her to lord 1t over them
"That Is only a sample Of many
cases. Women can be depended upon
to antagonize women under such cir
cumstances. Not only did they do SO
in the case have cited. but they &C.
tually gave the marble heart and the
icy hand to this woman after they de-
feated her prospects Of promotion.
/ am satisfied that one Of the most in
fuential obstacles to women In their
effort to secure equal recognition with
men comes from their own SEX"
The man who asked and answered
the question then moved of before his
audience Of lady clerks had an opportu-
nifty to reply to his assertions Wash.

London is SO large city that it is
hard to realize its magnitude. The
twenty leading hotels there represent
a capital Of something like 1000, 900
sterling. During busy month they
accommodate about $4,000 guests
every night and find employment for
1900 servants. Add to these the very
large number of smaller hostelries,
and it will be seen that the hotel
business Of London is of considerable
Importance.

"Gone to see if the Dream is True"

"Gone to see if the Dream is True"
Meeting the eye as the leaves unfold,
Such the heading, and, for the rest,
Some one had dreamed Of a mine of
gold
Thousands of miles away in the
West.
So he had battered his plows and
kline,
Sold the roof-tree his fathers knew,
Set his face for that mountain mine
'*Gone to see if the dream was true
Where are the children? Night is here,
Over the meadow and shadows
creep.
Hours ago they crossed the weir,
Thridded the wood and climbed the
steep,
Hand in hand, brave Kitty and Will
Followed the beautiful feeting clue
Chased the rainbow over the hill
Hurried to see if the dream was
true.
Lad and lassie, maiden and man.
An, tney cannot escape the dream
God has placed in His own good plan,
Giving them faith in the things that
seem
Hand in hand, with a radiant smile,
Altar-plighted, the world all new,
Treading a rose-embroidered aisle
All, let us hope that the dream is
true!
Comes time when the light is dim,
Feet unfaithful and fingers slow.
Laggard to hear or voice the hymn,
Listless to read and blind to sew
Cross the hands! For, against the
WALL
Shines the City-beyond-the-B Blue.
Soon it is said of each and all,
Gone to see if the dream was true .

able, since ornaments of a kind could
be provided much more quickly than
new ships, and history had shown the
value of reserve ships to fill up gaps
in naval warfare, even if they were
not quite up to the mark from a con-
structional point of view. The power
of the unarmored ship of great speed
and high gun power to control the
range showed the Importance Of armed
merchant transports and enforced the
value of the mercantile fleets pos
sessed by maritime nations, of which
we were the greatest. For his own
part, he would advocate that all ships
sailing under the British flag over
tonnage of, say, 5000 tons displace-
ment, and having a speed of, say, II
knots, should be called upon to have
suitable deck attachments for the &C
commodation of 6-inch quick-fring
guns. The inconvenience in peace
time would be inappreciable, and the
extra cost and weight necessary for
Strengthening the forecastle deck dur
ing construction would not materially
affect the price or weight of the ship.
Such ships would be invaluable as
armed cruisers if there were provided
at convenient ports really modern
6-inch or higher powered guns to in
stall on board them. He mentioned
this fact particularly because he was
sure we had not at the present time
a reserve of really modern long-range
artillery suited to this and other
purposes, the need for which must in
evitably arise during the progress of
war"

kanakas Entertained by NEGROES

A scene, typical and illustrative of
the present strike on Maui, was wit
messed by number of amused specta-
tors at the Wailuku railroad depot the
other day.
A number Of Alabama negroes had
been sent to the depot to load cars
with sugar. A knot of Hawaiians on
strike gathered to watch the negroes
work. Finally, one of them proposed
to the negroes that if they would IA
vor the Hawaiians present with some
old-fashioned down south songs, the
latter would take their places loading
cars. The darkies agreed to the prop
osition, and the Hawaiians threw off
their coats and pitched into the sugar
sacks, while the darkies ranged up and
favored the toilers with "My Old Ken
lucky Home" "Suwanee River" and
''Way Down South in Dixie" inter-
spersed with hoe-downs, buck and
wings, turkey trot and juba.
After enjoying the impromptu con-
cert sufficiently, the Hawaiians saun-
tered away and |le negroes leisurely
resumed the task of loading cars
