freight trains usually again slow
down and sometimes stop, an at
tempt was made to put the hoboes
off the train. They objected and
were armed with clubs which thew
used freely in the melee that fol-
lowed. The rear brakeman came |

Our village or city life would
stagnate if it were not for the un.
explored forests and meadows
which surround it. We need the
tonic of the wilderness to prepare
us for hardships, at the same
time we are earnest to explore and
learn all things. By the habit of
graphing day by day with these
difficult problems We get the habit
OF depending on ourselves. Train
ed to meet with difficulties that
cross the path of business life.
Our habits of exercise, sleep and
appetite are blended with our
methods of reasoning, imagination
and memory. Every action of
life touches upon some chord that

Origin of "WhiS."

Several reasons have been assigned
to account for the word Wing" uni
versally known to all the English
speaking people. BY some the word IS
supposed to be contraction Of Ion
ger one, "whiggamore." which in some
parts Of England and Scotland, espe-
cially Scotland, signifies drover or
herder.
It was in 1679 that the word first
became common in the British Isles,
when the struggle was in progress be-
tween the peasantry and the aristoc-
racy to have or not to have the bill
passed by parliament to exclude the
Duke Of York from the line Of success
sion. All who were opposed to placing
the duke in the line Of succession were
derisively called "whiggamores," or
"droyers," just as the city dude Of to-
day speakers Of the "Srangers," the
"crays," the chin whiskers' and the
"hayseeders."
But Scotch tradition gives altogether
q different reason for the existence Of
the word. 1t is this: During the early
religious wars in Scotland the weakest
Of the factions used the words I'VE
HOPE In God" rs q motto. The initials
Of these words were placed on their
banners thus, wv. II. l. g." and soon
all the followers Of that clan were Civ

erward attached as party nickname.

A Korean Prison.

The gate was wide open, and the
courtyard was full Of prisoners, and the
surrounding buildings were old and
tottering. l asked the chief, whom one
Of the two or three listless attendants
called for US, why the prisoners did
not run away. "Oh,' he replied, "they
would be caught and beaten again and
kept longer. Now they will get out
soon."
But as l looked at them I saw they
did not run because they could not.
The life was beaten out Of them. The
keepers brought the heavy red cord
with q brass hook at the end ana
trussed up q man with it to show how
the beating was done and then brought
US the stiff rods with which victims
were pounded over the shins and
thighs until the beaten spots were SIM
ply masses OF fostering rottenness.
There was room, black, foul, leprous,
in which the men were fastened IN the
stocks. The Black Hole Of Calcutta was
scarcely less merciful than this

Four Eears at r Shot.

a number Of years ago Mr.. Wlthee
was presented with two fine hounds.
and, wishing to try their training and
their grit, he took them out to do lit
tie bear hunting.
The first morning WitIlee let the dogs
out for q run while he was getting the
breakfast. expecting them to be back
in q short time. When breakfast was
over, the. dogs had not returned, So,
taking his gun, Mr.. Withee started out
in the direction they had taken. After
travelling about a mile the faint bark
ing Of dogs could be heard. and it was
then plain why the dogs had not re-
turned. They had scented game and
were in pursuit. The sound Of the
barking led him far up the side Of a
mountain, and soon he came in sight Of
the dogs standing around the upturned
roots of tree.
Mr.. VTithee crept up cautiously until
within about Is feet Of a cave that was
near by, and then black. shaggy head
could be seen just above the roots.
Taking good aim. he fired his A cali
ber and awaited results. After several
minutes be went up tc, the cave, and
what be saw there gave him shock
from which ne has never recovered.
Two bears lay dead. and two more
were so stunned that few quick pass
es with q knife settled them.
For the four bears Mr.. Withce re-
ceiyed $50 bounty. $3.50 for their
hides and S!E2 for the tear oil. making
$3.50 for one days hunt.-Maine

An Educational Mistake.

Whether or not q college education is
advantageous depends entirely upon
the ability of the recipient TO absorb
and utilize such an education. Un-
fortunately such a view oe the case Is
seldom considered by parents and
guardians who are inclined to send
their children to college simply be-
cause it is considered the proper thing
to 10. Consequently we find through
out the country thousands Of young
men who have passed through college
acting as cheap clerks, bookkeepers or
even as car conductors and restaurant
walters. Having learned no mechan-
ical trade for which they may be adapt
ed end being unified by nature for
profession, they so through life discon-
tented with their lot and vaguely be-
lieving that the world owes them bet
ter treatment because they have gone
through college.-Los Angeles Times.

ObeyfnE Orders.

General Rarney was an officer OF the
old school, 8 strict disciplinarlan who
took no excuses FOR hesitation in obey
ing orders. When he was on his way
to Mexico. when the United States was
at war with that country, he engaged
teams to transport the baggage and
placed in charge Of them q Texan
named Carter. The streams were all
up. and Carter had much trouble. but
whenever he tried to modify the gener-
ais requirements he was cut short
with the edmonton, "All you've got to
do Is to obey orders"
Says Noah Smithwick in his recollec-
tions called 'The Evolution Of a
State:"
They camped one night near the Nue-
ces river, which Carter found to be i'm
passable. He said nothing about it to
the general. and the next morning the
order was given to move on. Carter
started with the wagon train and halt
ed at the river, which was absolutely
impossible. Harvey came clustering
up
didn't you know that river was
up" he demanded.
Eyes, sir" meekly replied the wagon
master.
"Why didn't you tell mer'
"You didn't ask me, sir. You said my
business was to obey orders. You Or

and drive back to camp"

All For Love.

It was q runaway match. The young
couple had nothing to live on but love.
and they grew thin on It. for the butch
er, baker, etc, heartlessly refused to
barter any Of the nccesaaries Of life for
8 bit Of love, and the landlady wouldn't
accept even large slic. Of it for rent.
At last they were reduced to such ex-
tremities that starvation Stared them

Drawing the Line.

a good story is told in Missouri at
the expense Of its once famous govern
or, Claiborne +. Jackson. Before he
solved the enigma Of lovelock he had
married five sisters in reasonable
iapses Of consecutivencss. After one
wife had been lost and appropriately
mourned he espouSed another, and he
kept his courting within a narrow cir
Gle of his own relatives. for lie rather
liked the family.
The antiquatcd father Of these girls
was almost deaf. and when the gov
ernor went to this octoSenarian to ask
for his surviving daughter the follow
ing conversation ensucd:
II want Lizzie"

the governor.
"Well," slowly responded the vet
eran, you needn't halloo so that the
whole neighborhood knows it. Yes.
you can have her. You've got 'em all
now. my lad. but for goodness sake, if
anything happens to that ere poo: mis-

The CAPTAIN OF IN Ocean Liner.

Nowadays the captain IS the host Of
the ship. He IS nc longer the gruR,
rough seados in a pea jacket Of years
gone by. He must observe some Of the
social amenities; he must talk to the
passengers now and then when the
weather is fine; he must take his seat
at table when he may; he must be q
kind Of diplomat also and possess wit
and tact and q patience sublime; he
must see that no iealousies develop
among the passengers. I have been
told of the very obliglng captain who,
to please the lady who asked to be
shown the equator while the ship was
in southern seas, pasted a hair across
the large end Of a spyglass and told the
lady to look. And the lady through the
glass declared she could see the equa-
tor "as plainly as a D c." One other
polite captain I have heard of-one who
directed an officer on the bridge to "do
as the lady Wishes" when the lady re-
quested that the captain steer the ship
over to the horizon so she could see
what the horizon was like.-Captain
Jameson in Golfers.

LIehtine Up the Coliseum.

The Romans have the hideous habit
Of periodically lighting the Coliseum
during the tourist season with Bengal
lights and, what Is more amazing Still,
usually succeed in making q financial
success Of it. although no one was ever
known to go twice.
There Is the additional abominatlon
In these days Of a big brass band and
q chorus Of 100 voices in an invocation
TO the Flav!an amphitheater. The et-
feet Is tremendous, but somewhat stun
ming to those who are accustomed 10
their Coliseum empty and doodeo
with peaceful moonlight. where pic
lures from the past rise with the clear
ness Of second sight. and 10 sound IS
heard but ones own breathing or the
song Of the nightingale. Contrast with
such q scene the red, blue and yellow
Bengal lights, the smoke, the confu-
sion, the hundred shrleking throats
and the clang Of the brazen ipstru-
ments! Imagination shripks and curses
the Roman Of today with whom such
o thing is possible. But Is it his fault!
As said before. 1t is great financial
success, and the Italians certainly do
not patron!ze it. Query, Who does!-

behind the scenes as we'll as before the
footlights. The premier's favorite play
was "a Pair Of Spectacles," and he al
ways went behind the scenes to chat
awhile with the actor. The really old
man and the made up old man would
sit there and talk IN the most delight
full way for an hour after the show.
One day the Earl Of Rosebery had
Mr.. Gladstone to dinner. and he also
invited his friend. John Hare. The
actor came in smooth shaved, looking
about 35. He was presented to Mr..
Gladstone, and the prime minister
shook his hand most cordially and said:
My dear sir, am very. very glad to
meet you. know your father very.

and Mr.. Hare to convince him that this
son was really the Enthusiastically
