Birds, Egg. sunerstition.

The old. wrinlllcd, dusly aunties of the south tel children: Do not eat the bluebirds' eggs. They make you love to wander" They believe that the pale blue eggs Of that beautiful creature "that violet of the air that bird with "sky tinSe Oil his back, earth tinge on his breast" will make the greedy nest robber restless aS long as he lives. No place, however enticing, can hold the being who has once tasted bluebirds g egg.
 He who eats mockirg birds egg will be compelled to tell all he knows y The one who robs a killdee,s nest and eats it's eggs will surely break an arm.
 He who eats a doves egg will be fol lowed by lad luck, while the egg of any bird of yellow plumase will be sure to cause q fever. and he who eats an owls egg will be always shrieking. The eat CT of a crows egg will always, as old aunties say, "be gwine on foolish like a crow does 90 on, Ha. ha, ha" But a partrdGes egg" they declare, 'du des make you thrive ali grow fas'.

His Prayer.

The little son of an Episcopal clergy man of Los Angeles was visiting with his mother Canadian city, where the two attended services at d certain church. It is the custom in that church for the clergyman and congregation to bow in silent prayer for q minute or two just before the sermon begins. l. Was q new proceeding to the child, so2 ne was not accustomed to seeing this done in his fathers church, but the little chap Erayely and reyerently did his part.
 After the service was over the clergy man. one of the old evangelical school. who had noticed the reverence and ap- parent devotion of the child, spoke to him and commended his reverence with an a1fectionate rat on the lead. Tt was very pleasing," he remarked to a group of bystanders, "to see this little fellow so deeply engaged in earnest prayer just before 1 began my sermon. What prayer did you offer to the throne of grace, my little boy!'
 All unconscious of the effect it pre- duced. the little fellow candidly and instantly replied: II said: Now I lay me down to sleep. pray the Lord my soul to keep ''-San Francisco Argo- 0aut.

ARepublican Alarm.

Some Of our most thoughtful men
are Of the opinion that the one place
in which the trust is to be dreaded Is
in its effects to control legislation.
What they dread is the secret hiiu-
ence which the trust eXerts in secluded
chambers and the darkness of the
night to shape legislation in its inter
est.
A notable case in point is the sudden
conversion Of Senator Foraker from an
advocate of justice for the orto III
cans, which he was on January 3, 1900,
when he introduced Senate bill 2Ol6,
which made commerce between Porto
Rico and the mainland perfectly free,
to an advocate Of criminal injustice,
winch he was just six days later when,
on January 9th. he introduced Senate
bill 226i, whose revenue provisions
we're substantially those Of the House
bill. which, as amended, became a law.

Things Worth Remembering.

II a man Is yruly benevolent he new
er boasts of 1t.
Lots Of men get rich by pretending
to have money.
Many a man who is rich in eXpedient
is poor in pocket.
The Jealous mind is decorated with
the cobwebs of suspicion.
Courage is a plant that can not be
destroyed by pluCking up,
One doesn't have to stick a pin in
hope to make it spring eternal.
The man who has a small mind sci
dom has occasion to change it.
To be a great orator one must know
Just when and where not TO talk
Bad luck is usually the first thing
that comes to the man who waits.
1t takes a lot Of philosophy to deal
with philosophers as they deserve.
The things that come under mans
nouce are not necessarily beneath his
notice.
Some men would be awfully lonely
if il wasn't for the visits of bill col
leCtOTs.
The average man is willing to admit
that any woman is perfect who thinks
he is perfect.
After a man gets into trouble it is
easy for him to see how he might have
kept out of it.
When you talk louder tnan the other
fellow it is a sign that you're wrong
and he's right
Inc man who begrudges himself an
occasional hearty laugh is the worst
kind of a miser
One of life's pecuIiarities is that the
world is seldom watching a man when
n is doing good.
Occasionally an Office seeks the man,
but the majority Of them are kept busy
trying to dodge him.
Scatter the golden coin Of courtesy
freely if you would travel over the road
that leads to success.
Every time a man does a charitable
act some vinegar.visaged misanthrope
is ready to swear he has an ak to
grind.

As to Commissioner Evans

To THE EDITOR OF THE GLOBE:
Observer, in his letter in The Globe
of the 14th, on Commissioner Evans,
might have added that the Commits
sioner never was friendly to the old
Union soldiers; his sympathies are the
other way. He makes it known in
every way possible. If man dare ap.
ply for a pension or for an increase,
special examiner is Immediately put
on MS track and he is bounded as
detective would follow a criminal. No
matter if soldier has been on the
pension roll 20 years or more, if he ap-
plies for an increase, an Evans seuth-
hound is Immediately after him. In
making promotions, those that are un-
friendly to the old soldiers are given
preference. He uses his power to keep
down old soldiers in the Bureau, and
instead of giving them preference,
which is required under the law, they
are sidetracked and kept in the back
ground, and if the soldier dare say
anything he is reduced or discharged.
The entire Pension Bureau is domi-
mated by influences antagonistic to the
old soldier. Evans whole aim seems to
be to cHt down pensions and belittle
the pensioners, yet he is sustained by
a President who received more than
threefourths of the soldier vote, a
President who claims to be friendly to
them, but they are discovering what
kind OF friendship he has for them,
and the country will not have long to
wait to learn what the men who saved
the nation think Of NcKinley's pre-
tentions. | have always been Repub-
liean, but look out for changes. Ohio
will be heard from this fall, and smil-
ing William will hear something drop
The Globe is the only paper that dare
publish the whole truth May you live
long and prosper. OHIO.

A GENUINE NOVELTY.

1t is interesting to note that fortunes
re frequently made by the invention of
rticles of minor importance. Some Of
these are invented solely tor safety and
convenience, and when really neritori-
Gus, gain extraordinary popularity and
are sold by the thousands. Many of
these articles evince much inventive and
mechanical skill and their success de-
pends on the interest they excite. Among
tire most popular devices are those de-
signed TO benefit people and meet popu-
lar conditions, and one of the most inter
esting of these that has ever been intro
duced is the DR.. White Electric Comb,
the name OF which affords an indication
of its character. This device is as valu-
able as it is novel, and is full OF sa isfac-
ton TO all. Thousands Of these Electric
Combs have been sold i'm the various
cities of the Union, and the demand is
constantly increasing, Lovers OF con-
venience and health admit the superb
ority of DR.. Whites Electric Comb over
everything of the kind now before the
public. 1t is new, practical, durable and
is just what every one has long desired.
Not only is the Dr. White Electric
Comb a source of satisfaction 20 all, but
1t is among the few things on the market
that does more than the manufacturers
claim for it. One lady claims that it
made her feel +" ten years younger" be-
cause it had saved her from headaches
and nervous conditions which before its
use had been almost Undesirable and had
aged her perceptibly.
From present indications this novelty
will prove to be mOney-maker, and is
1t the same time one of the most inter-
sting ever introduced.

Blessed be the name of the Lord! Constructed 16o6,'' which would be quite appropriate to their changed condition. Near to this house there has lately been discovered a stone sun dial, having the Washington arms (argent), two bars, and in chief three mulIets (gules), carved upon it, with the date, 1617. It is, we are informed, a round sab of sandstone 161z inches in diameter and three inches thick, chamfered on the lower edge, taken from the Harelston stone quarry, three miles distant from Brington, but not of the kind commonly used for building. No stone exactly like this seems to be quarried now, but in old houses built of Aarleston stone pieces are, it is said, to be found precisely similar The lines, figures and shield are ineised apparently about the six teenth of an inch deep. Under the shield are the letters R. w., and it is considered probable that the dial was made for Robert Washington, second son of Laurence Washington, of Sui grave. He died in 1922 and was buried in Erin zton church, where an inscrip- tion and shield of his arms in brass are now to be seen. His nephew, Rev Laurence Washington, was the father of two emigrants, John and Laurence, who sailed for Virginia about 1857, and John was the great-grandfather of the famous George Washington, first president of the United States of America.

Freshmen at Illinois University Are Ducked and Forced to

Hazing of fresh1h hen by sophomores at the University of Illinois at Cham paign has been in progress almost con tinua1ly since the school opened, and is likely to grow in violence until the color rush.

Sun day night about A dozen freshies were given a chase, and spent a good part of the night riding the town cows to the qualification Of their captors.
 So far no. serious injuries have been reported, although one shooting affray might have resulted in bloodshed had the freshman who handled the gun been better marksnan.
