Thirty years and more have passed
since the kingly moose was driven.

from his grand ancestral home in the
forests of the Adirondacks: and now,
after this long lapse. the royal exile
is about to be reinsta.ed in his ancient

which means so much to SO many

How you'd just little rather that you
didn't chance to meet.
OF course you mean to pay it,
And you know he wouldn't say it
If he even got to thinking you tr'de

You know he wouldn't bone you
For the temporary loan you
Unthinkingly asserted you would very
promptly pay;
But, though cordially you greet him,
1t is true you never meet him II
But you wonder if he's thinking Of the
things he doesn't say.

The British Medical Journal says that
a valuable ram, the property OF a
grazier in New South Wales, lost its
front teeth, and being unable to nibble
satisfactorily, was slowly dying from
semi-starvation. The services of a
dentist were secured and artificial
teeth were inserted so successfully that
the ram is now thriving as well as
ever.

The Isar river is one of the curiosi-
ties of Munich, Bavaria. 1t is chiefly
noted for running rapidly and for be-
ing nowhere near the battlefield OF
Hohenlinden, the poet to the contrary
Notwithstanding. 1t is a river some
times white as milk, al others green as
grass, and it is probably the only river
of it's size in the world which has no
boats on it. Nor may one bathe in 1t
on account of the swiftness OF the cur-
rent. It's principal use seems to be for
people to drown themselves in; but 1t
also serves a real purpose. because its
waters are diverted to flush sewers.
After performing this service the
waters run as babbling brooks in the
city park and are utilized by the wash
erwoman for laundry purposes.

AMERICAN SHIPPING.


Washington, Nov. 9.--The report of
Mr.. Chamberlain, the United States
commissioner of navigation, says that
the past fiscal year has been the
third successive year of notable pros
perity and growth in American ship
ping, exceeding the two previous
years. The extent and nature of
work under way or projected in ship
yards promises an even greater
growth for the current fiscal year.
American tonnage now has attained
practically the former maximum of
1861. The figures of 1901, compared
with 1861. show an increase in coast
ing trade vessels from 2,704,544 tons
to 4,5s2,6s3 tons (two-thirds of this
increase being on the great lakes), a
decrease in foreign trade vessels from
e,496,s94 tons to S79,505 tons, and a
decrease in whaling and fishing ves-
sells from 33s,375 tons to 6l,940 tons.
OF our total tonnage 3,G23,20l tons
are wooden vessels and only 1,901,-
OH tons are iron or steel. In 1900
Great Britain launched 1,4i0,000 tons
of steel vessels.

LUKBAN WEAKENING.



Catbalogan, Island of Samar, Nov
S.-The few Tilipinos who are sur
rendering say that the insurgent
leader Lukban's provisions are ex-
hausted and that he and his men are
living on scanty supply of sweet
potatoes. Lukban is being strongly
urged to surrender. He is weakening
and 1T is believed he will yield by
November 10, owing to the blockade
making it impossible for him to pro-
cure more food. The insurgents are
described as being in great fear Of
the soldiers.
Insurgents are becoming more ac-
tive in the island of Leite. Wednesday
the town of Mattalon was attacked.
At Inopacan the insurgents cut the
telegraph line. While a detachment
of American troops were repairing
it they were fred upon by band Of
insurgents. After brief skirmish
the rebels were dispersed.
First Lieut.. Crawford, of the First
infantry, a sergeant and five men,
while attempting to cross the Babylon
river in Samar, were drowned.

A Water Main Breaks.

New York, Nov. s.-A 36-inch water
main that supplies the high pressure
for Columbia and Washington heights
broke yesterday and sent food of
swirling water down the hill into
the excavation for the Rapid Transit
tunnel. The water quickly filled the
trench and sent the laborers at work
in it scurrying to higher ground.
The food in its rush down hill made
washouts ten feet deep in the streets.
Before the water was shut off at the
pumping station damage that will
reach many thousands Of dollars was

Fort Dodge, Ia, Nov. s.-George
Bricker, charged with the murder of
C. A. Guild and his son, Clarence,
last June, was acquitted by the jury
which brought in its verdict early
yesterday. The shooting was the re-
suit of neighborhood quarrel. Oliver
Bricker, a brother of the accused,
confessed to the shooting, but as
serted it was done in self-defense,
but a second son of Guild charged
George Bricker with the killing
Three indictments remain against the
Brickers.

TIE TRADE SITUATION.


New York, Nov. 9.-Bradstreet's
says: The trade situation presents
many points Of strength and few of
weakness. Holding Of cotton is re-
ported from the south, this being
aided by the strength Of the business
community generally. Higher prices
have been made for cereals. Brad
streets figures of the worlds visible
supply favor the bears but little; for
eign cables are better and export de-
mand has been improved both for
wheat and corn, the strength Of these
being shared in by -four, the produc-
ton of which at Minneapolis and
other centers is very heavy, and by
oats. The price situation is one of
steadiness, though some hesitation
was shown during October.
While nearly all industries are ac-
tive, special strength and activity
has been displayed in iron and steel.
Production as yet seems to be run
ming behind consumption. The short
age of cars is an additional obstruc-
tive feature just at present, and tho
effect on the country trade has been
30 marked as to cause the shut down
of 20 blast furnaces in the Pittsburg
district.
Wheat, including flour, exports for
the week aggregate 5,46o,645 bushels,
as against 6,672,ssS bushels last week.
Corn exports aggregate 7Os,2S4 bush
els, as against 6o6,159 bushels last
week.
Failures for the week in the United
States aggregate 1911, as against 172
last week, 1851 in this week year
ago, 1872 in 1899 and 1877 in 1898.

A TREASURER SHORT
TIE ORDER PROTECTED BY SURETIES
The Defalcation Amounts to o57 900 and
Was Used In . BusInsas Enterprise
Which Turned Out Unprontabls-
The Culprit Awaiting Arrest

Port Huron, Mich, Nov. Spy his
own written confession, Charles d.
Thompson, supreme finance keeper
OF the supreme tent, Knights Of the
Maccabees, and prominent vessel
and tug man Of this city, is a de-
faulter in the sum of $4,000. Mr..
Thompson, however, was heavily
bonded in the National Surety COM
pany, Of New York, and the Fidelity
and Deposit company, Of Baltimore,
and the order therefore is protected
from loss. Thompson made no effort
to escape after his defalcation was
discovered. He is now at his home
awaiting the action of the bonding
companies. His embezzlement is con-
fessed in a letter to Supreme Com
mander Marley.
The first intimation of the short
age came last Tuesday afternoon
when Supreme Commander Marley
and Supreme Record Keeper Style
were checking over the finance keep
ers's books. An error was found and
they called Thompson's attention to
it. He said he would take the books
and papers home with him that night
and look it up. Wednesday morning
he came to Supreme Commander
Markey's Office and confessed that his
accounts were short $4,000. He then
and there signed written confession
of the embezzlement. An examina-
ton of the books followed and the
shortage was disclosed.
The companies on Mr.. Thompson's
bond were notified of the shortage
yesterday and representatives Of
each are now on their way to Port
Huron. Thompson is not under ar
rest, but says that he expects to be
arrested and prosecuted and is pre-
pared to pay the penalty of his breach
of trust.
The heavy loss sustained by the
Thompson Towing and Wrecking
company, of this city, of which
Thompson is member, on the steam
er Harlem, which they raised from
the bottom of Lake Superior, is re-
sponsible for the defalcation. Thomp-
son said yesterday morning that he
used the funds of the order in this
enterprise, which proved very I'M
profitable, as the expense of raising
and refitting the craft was so great
that she had to be sold at loss, it
is said, of $4,000, instead of a profit.

MUTINY OF CONNECTS
Twenty-Ssven Prisoners Escaped
from Leavenworth Prison.
BLOODY BATTLE WITH The GUARDS.
Ono Convict Was Instantly Killed and
Guard Probably Fatally Injured Leaven'
worth In state Of TerrOr-Mounted
Guards In Pursuit.

Leavenworth, Kan, Nov. s.-Twen-
ty-seven convicts belonging at the
United States prison escaped late yes
terday afternoon while at work on
the buildings of the new prison, two
miles southwest of the military post.
The delivery occurred only after a
battle with the guards in which Con-
Wet Fort Quinn was instantly killed,
Guard J. B. Waldrupe probably ia
tally injured and three other guards
wounded. The escaped men fled to
the westward Of the scene OF their
revolt and none has yet been cap
tured, excepting one, who returned
to the prison of his own accord
Forty mounted guards are beating
the country, and police officers in all
western cities have been furnished
with descriptions of the missing con-
victs.
Nearly all the escaped men are
from the Indian territory and they
are a particularly hard lot. They
are fairly well armed and will I'M
doubtedly make vigorous resistance
to recapture. The convlcts stole
many horses in their fight. A report
reached the city that the convlcts
had held up S. A. Davidson, farmer,
living ten miles southwest of here,
and took his horse and hat and coat.
Three men were working for him,
and these also lost part of their vari-
Gus wardrobes.
The city of Leavenworth was in a
state of terror for some hours after
the escape of the convicts, as these
men visited many houses in search
of food and clothing. 1t is now be-
lieved that all of the escaped men
have fed into the rough and tim
bered country in the southwestern
part of the county.
Guard Waldrupe, who was shot
twice by the conyicts, was taken to
the city hospital, where surgeons
worked over him for several hours
They probed into the brain several
inches, but were unable to locate the
bullet. He was recently married in
this city. Waldrupe came from
Greenback, Tenn, which Is neal
Knoxville. He was appointed to the
prison service in October, 1900, and
is n years old. His physicians say
he cannot live. The other wounded
guards will recover, as their wounds
IRE slight.

ward Of $50 for the arrest OF eacf
convict and any person Is author
