ORGANS CARRIED IN TRUNKS.
One That Travelled Around the World
Many Are Thus Carried in
This Country.

"In the Sun awhile ago." said man
ufacturer of organs, says the New
York journal, II read an interesting
paragraph about a trunk that a New
York manufacturer had made for an
organ that was carried around the
world by Ira d. Sankey, the singing
evangelist. He carried the organ with
him to be sure to have one to use when
ever he wanted it, and he had that
trunk made for ii to insure its safety
in transportation, and to make it
easy to transport instead of boxing
and unlocking it every time. They
used to carry this organ in it's trunk
right onto the stage and just open the
trunk and throw the top and sides
back and there was the organ ready
for use.
Very probably that organ trunk
made the longest continuous journey
of any ever made, but L guess you
would find dozen or dozens of organs
toted all over this country in trunks
made to carry them in. These organs
are carried by theatrical and other
travelling entertainments. 1t might
tseem as though an organ could be
found anywhere in the country, but as
a matter of fact that is not so. Car
rying an organ along they avoid all
difficulty and have just what they
want. And if you could get them all
into a bundle together 1 guess you
could gather up something like a
carload of baggage consisting of Or
gans carried in trunks"

GUSHERS In TERRITORY

Tulsa, l. T., June 26.-The Heidrick
Oil company struck flowing we'll of
oil at 10 o'clock yesterday at a depth
of $40 feet at Red Fork, three miles
west of here. Gas continues to flow
this morning to the height of fifteen
feet and every fifteen seconds oil gush-
es from the same we'll to the height of

is thought by experts on the ground to
equal the Beaumont oil. 1t is a deep

ACTS AS GAME CONSTABLE.
The Young Husband of Queen Will
heImiDa Acts in IL Humble
OmciaI Position.

Queen Wilhelmina's new husband
has acquired distinction in the vicin-
ity of the royal residence by acting
as game warden, Two jolly DU !h-
men fond of poaching entered the !or-
est of Loo a few days ago in the nope
of being able to snare a few par
tridges, says a London exchange.
In this task they were quite success
full, but as they were sneaking home
through the trees at little distance
from the royal castle in which Queen
burg are spending their honeymoon
they found themselves face to face
with another sportsman.
1t was, in fact the prince of Neck
lenburg himself.
The poachers did not know him, and
the two Dutchmen never sus-
pecting that this handsome young
gentleman was laying trap, told him
all about themselves and consequently
were surprised when the prince told
them to hand over their partridges
and give him their names. They com
piled sullenly and then went home,
where they were arrested few hours
later on the charge of poaching.
The prince of Mecklenburg has
never been popular with the people
of Holland, and his action on this oc-
casion has helped to intensity the i'll
feeling against him, since the general
opinion is that a man in his position
could afford to overlook the peccadillo
of which the two Dutchmen were

HEADQUARTERS FOR ICE.
Norway IL the source of supply for
the whole of
Europe.

Few perhaps among the tourists
who visit Norway for the pleasures
of its scenery are aware that here
they are at the headquarters of Eu-
ropes ice supply. TO the mountain
lakes of that country the continent
looks for its ice. The ice is of the
finest quality, for the lakes are Of
crystal-clear water, high up in the
mountains, and are surrounded by
very tall pines. The ice supply is con
trolled by syndicates, says Youths
Companion.
After having been cut into great
squares by plows, the blocks of ice
are sent down the mountainside on
slides. On the way they acquire amaz-
ing velocity, and plunge into an in
closed pond beyond which are the ice
ships awaiting their frozen cargo.
1t sometimes happens that through
delay in the starting of the vessels,
or the cutting of unusual quantities
from the lakes to supply exception
al demands, the supply runs short.
Then it is that ice becomes dear, and
even in winter-time is luxury that
must be indulged in sparingly. But
ice Is used in Europe far less COM
monty than in America, and de-
icient supply does not occasion the
sense Of loss that it would in this
country.

COULD NOT ESCAPE BLAME.
FruitIess Attempt of II sIanderer To
Shift the Responsibility ON
PhOnOGrRph.

A sewing machine agent in Germany
wanted to slander an employe whom
he had quarreled with and discharged.
He did not call it slander, but he knew
that his enemy would, and possibly
the courts also, and as the penalties
for that offense are likely to be heavy
in the kaiser's realm he sought out n
way in which he could gain the desired
end without endangering his own
safety. An inspiration came to him,
and purchasing "a photograph roll he
went to the village inn, placed it into
the instrument which was in the tap
room and talked it full of things about
his sometime friend, relates the New
York Commercial Advertiser.
Later in the day the patrons of the
inn came in to have their beer, and, as
dropped coins into the photograph
and set it a-tallling. The result was
appalling to them. The phonograph
told the most shocking tales about one
whom they had considered hitherto
much respected and altogether to be
praised il not admired fellow citizen
tales they knew not to be true. They
hurried to the slandered man, and in
the course of time he brought an ac
tion against his former employer
The latter pleaded that he had not in
suited the plaintiff, but that the
phonograph was the guilty one. The
phonograph was brought into cOurt
and turned on to give its testimony
but it refused to work. However, the
judge decided that the defendant wai
at least an active accomplice in the
ISLANDERS and fined him so marks.
