ELKS HAVE AN OPTION

The once fourishing Peoples Palace,
the pride of the congregation of the
Tabernacle on Henderson and York
streets, will be sold for $3.50.
At meeting of the Rev. John L.
Scudder's Church, Bergen and Boyd
avenues, last night, it was decided to
sell the building and grounds.
The meeting was attended by about
fifty members of the church. 1t was
called to order by Mr.. D. Russell Frank
H. Hall then introduced the resolution
and explained how the church needed
money and had decided to dispose of the
Peoples Palace. 1t was unanimously
passed.
The order of Elks, who. some time ago
bought the Tabernacle, tried also to buy
the Peoples Palace, but the price asked
was considered too high
1t was decided last night to let the
Elks have an option of ten days on the
building at $3.50 until their monthly
meeting, when they would say whether
or not they would purchase it. The cash
to be paid down is $3.50, the balance is
to remain on mortgage
OTHER BIDDERS.
The Whittier House has also been try
ing to negotiate for the Peoples Palace
and recently offered $3,5O0 for the prop
erty This organization wanted the
building to help in its philanthropic work
in this city. Letters were received last
night asking the Board of Trustees to
defer the sale until meeting could be
called. as the few members of this or
ganization now in the city have not the
power to act for all connected with the
House. The church trustees, however,
are ready to sell to the Elks.
The Peoples Palace has lost ground
since the Tabernacle Society split and
part went on the Hill with the Rev.
John L. Scudder as pastor.
Those who have been subscribing
funds toward the Peoples Palace work
gradually withdrew altogether and the
work practically ceased because there
were not sufficinet funds to continue.
THE PALACE PROJECT.
The Peoples Palace was instituted as
a self-supporting organization. Its OBJ
ject was to keep young men out of sa-
looms and off the street at night. Bowl
ing alleys, pool tables, reading room,
gymnasium and large bath were placed
in the building as attractions.
The place hourished for a time, and a
building was to be erected, but the death
Of the Rev J. Lester Wells, the man
ager, prevented the carrying out OF this
plan.
Since then the Peoples Palace has not
prospered.
Rev. John L. Scudder lost interest in
the work, and even went so far as to
take away the pool tables, guns, books,
ETC., to furnish the Boys Club of the
First Congregational Church.
The boys down town enjoyed their free
baths in the Peoples Palace until last
summer, when the building was rented
to the Warren Athletic Club, and the
boys were not permitted the use of the
baths.

noga knew that she would turn in a
moment to see why he had not an
Rwered, and in order not to direct her
attention to the panther he lowered
his glance and met hers.
But there was something in his face
that made her afraid, and he looked
with startling intentness far beyond
her, down the long, darkening stretch
Of deserted shore, toward the skin
covered tepee by the spring, where
Mar-tala, their mother, and Sis-sos-ka,
their father, lived during the hot sum
mer.
"Stand still!' said Kannoga, as calm
ly as he could. 1t cost him a great eff
fort to remain quietly there, without
looking up, when he knew what was
overhead, but the effort caused him to
think more clearly.
"Shut your eyes" he said suddenly.
"What for?" asked Aakloo, fright
ened still more at the unaccountable
change is his voice.
For a moment his fingers frightened
convulsively over his shin, then grad

then, and the strange, eager suggestion
OF smile that flashed over his face
reassured her.
"Oh! she exclaimed, and at onct
shut her eyes.
Kannoga now looked steadily at the
cougar, while he turned his sistel
about so that she faced along tht
shore.

walk as slowly as you can-with
your eyes shut," he said.
She started slowly enough. but the
fierce eyes overhead began to watch
her intently again and to grow rest
less, while a yellow foot advanced un-
easily along the limb and broad tawny
jaws stretched farther and farther
downward as she moved away.
But Kannoga silently held up his
hand and waved it in the air. At this
the panther's attention attracted by
the unexpected and rapid movement,
was withdrawn from the girl.

stop till you stand in the tepee with
Mar-tala."
'Is that ell of the new game, Kan
noga?" she asked, doubtfully.
NO" he answered.; there is more"
Meanwhile he still sat in the same
place, watching the cougar and hold
ing its attention by the constant move
ment of his slender arm and Of his
griry, tattered sleeve.
When Aakloo was at a safe distance
the sense of his own danger came sud-
denly upon him.
If Sis-sos-ka would only come with
his rihe-or Gray Beaver, an old man
now, but still a great hunter. If he
had only told Aakloc! He turned his
head and looked after her. Down the
winding track of sand beside the still
lake, both grown dull gray in the
evening light, he saw her running, and
he knew that long before she could
reach the tepee he would be beyond
the need of rescue.
He had turned his head for only an
instant, but in that instant the cougar

Shamrock and Glover.

There has been n great deal Of dis
cussion as to whether the Irish sham
rock of old times was the plant that
is now known as the clover, many
persons contcnding that 1t was the or
alis acetocella, and that it could not
have been the clover, because, they
say, the last named plant was intro
Cuced into Ireland from the Continent
at q period subsequent to that when
the shamrock was originally known
and used. According to correspond
cnt OF the Gardeners Chronicle, Of
London, who has made 4 painstalling
search through all the literature OF
the subject. reaching back hundreds Of
years, the shamrock is clover, end al
ways was clover, and nobody ever
had any doubts on the subject until
they We're raised by Mr.. Bicheno, il
1880, who was Secretary OF the Lin
naen Society. This search. however,
has shown that Mr.. Bicheno was
wrong, and that the clover leaf, long
before st. Patrick's time, was used as
an emblem OF the Trinity.

the end would be If he reached the
shore, but his fingers only plowed
through the sand.
The sharp point Of a rock that tore
| him as he was dragged over it gave
| him hope; he grasped it with both
| hands and clung with all his strength,
| but in an instant his fingers were dig
ging vainly in the sand again.
AT last he raised his head for air.
The panther at once let go of his leg
| and came at him with open mouth, but
it moved slowly in the water, and
Kannoga, by a great effort, stood up.
Then the beast sprung upon him.
The boy had nerved himself, how.
ever, and fell as far out from shore as
he could.
When the feeling of dizziness that
followed the shock had passed he
found that the panther held his arm
in its mouth and was swimming-that
its feet did not touch bottom.
Then, in spite of the terrible pain It
caused him, he pulled his arm down
until the cougars head was sub
merged. Very soon 1t released it's hold
Then the Indian boy stood up again.
and this time he became the aggressor
Grasping the slick, wet head with
both hands he forced it deep into the
water. The panther's feet touched
bottom, and its violent struggles
threw him down. but he got up again
and held the glaring eyes and the red
mouth with its white teeth more care
fully-just under the surface Of the
lake.
Kannoga became very weak and his
legs trembled feebly under him, but
he was thankful that they were long,
for he could stand with his head in the
cool evening breeze while the cougar
was drowning.
At first the panther made fearful
sounds as the water filled its lungs,
but these presently ceased, and at last
1t hung a dead weight in the boys
hands. He let it sink then and loos-
ened a stone from the lake bed to roll
upon It's head.
His wounds were slight, but painful,
and the terrible battle had so weak
ened him that when he reached the
shore he fell exhausted, with his face
toward the tepee.
He could not see Aakloo now, nor
even the canoe that came in a moment
to where he lay.
Gray Beaver and an old friend. pad
ding out from camp. had called to the
girl as she ran on the shore and had
laughed when she told them why she
could not turn her head to look after
them.
Then they had seen the boy and the
cougar in the edge of the lake, and
their paddles had swung faster and
with stronger strokes than they had
used for many year.
When Kannoga opened his eyes Gray
Beaver leaned over him and spoke gen-
tly:
"Aakloo will understand that game
better when she is older" he said.
And across n narrowing stretch of
water the boy saw her waiting with
Mar-tala. - Robert w. McCuloch. in

Paris Postal Stories.

Some Paris postal stories are going
the rounds just now, says the Paris
Messenger. One Of them has refer
ence to letter posted ut little coun-
try place in France to the Minister of
Public Instruction, Paris. The sender
did not put q stamp upon it, knowing
that Government officials letters are
carried free.
The provincial lady official, however,
evidently not knowing this, put a
stamp upon the letter and sent the
postman to collect the fifteen cen
times from the sender, whose name
by some mysterious means, the secret
of which is in the possession of her
sex, she managed to discover.
Another anecdote relates that a
well-known Partisan lawyer sent
letter to NJ. Millerand and put a fifteen
centime stamp on 1t, evidently forget
ting that n stamp was unnecessary.
Now, the letter was over weight, and
the postofiice people, apparently think
ing only OF the stamp and not of the
Minister'S privilege, claimed thirty
centimes excess. This. of course, NJ.
Millerand declined to pay, and the let
ter was sent back. The unlucky send
er was forced to take 1t back and pay
the thirty centimes, making in all
forty-fve centimes out of his pocket,
whereas had he put no stamp at all 1t
, would have been safely delivered.

* the tribe of the Occur
d'Alenes, was sitting one
evening with Aallloo, his lit
tie sister, at the edge of the forest on
the shore of Coeur dAlene lake, and
was telling her favorite story, when
at one of her Interruptions he laughed
and leaned carelessly back and looked
straight into the eyes of q cougar.
"If 1 were drowning you would swim
out into n great lake, too, like Grand
father Gray Beaver did, wouldn't
you?" the girl asked. She spoke indig-
nantly, for that day she had heard an
old man say that boys like Kannoga,
who went to school in the reservation
instead of into the forest. could never
be brave Indians, and she was sure
that her brother was very brave.
1t was her show Of indignation and
her eager confidence that caused him
to laugh now and to lean back.
She waited, but he did not answer.
With both hands clasped over his
copper-colored shin, and one bare foot
raised slightly above the log on which
he was sitting. he stared into the great
restless eyes that looked down at him
from the nearest limb. He was with
out n weapon of any kind, and the cou-
gar was full grown, with body dry
looking and gaunt with hunger.
Although its glance was for the mo-
ment fixed on him he could see that 1t
had been watching Aakoo and that its
interest was still centred in her, as if
it had chosen her for its victim. He
was seized with sudden fear that she
might move unexpectedly and thus
cause the creature to spfing upon her,
yet he sat there seemingly unable to
speak or to think what ought to be
done.
You would, wouldn't you" asked
the girl. Her voice broke the fascinat-
ing spell of those terrible eyes. Kan

had crept nearer and its long tail had
begun to swing slowly, stealthily. from
side to side.
Kannoga saw no hope Of escape, but
with every sense alert he studied his
desperate chances.
The panther lay crouched with its
head toward the forest, while he sat
facing the lake. When he had care
fully measured the space between
them and the distance to the water he
jumped away from the log and ran di-
rectly under the panther.
The animal instantly shifted its
head, as If to leap down from the other
side of the limb. but the boy did not
appear there, and it turned with mar
velous agility before its great yellow
body shot out into the air.
Kannoga was crushed down under
its weight, but he had reached the
lake and fell where the water was
nearly knee deep. He felt the panther
release Its grasp into order to find FIRM
footing, and when he raised up for all
discovered It's dripping head little more
than an arms length from his own.
Then he took n deep breath and lay
down upon the bottom. hoping that the
panther would leave him.
