Knew How II Was Himself.

Not long ago IN Perthshire, Scot
land, a woman was driving her hus-
band down a narrow lane when on
turning sharp corner they encoun-
tered a brewers cart. Neither had
room to pass, and in most disagree
able tones the woman said:
He must go back, for shall not,
He ought to have seen us before enter
ing the lane"
But, my dear" replied her hus-
band, "how could he with this sudden
turn in the road?"
81 don't care" said the woman
haughtily. II shall stay here all night
before I give way to him" The
driver of the cart overheard all the
conversation and said resignedly:
"a RIGHT, sir. III gang back,
adding sympathetically, 1--WE got
Just such anither one at home.

SHEPHERDSTOWN W. VA. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 81, 1902

Fair hair and blue eyes have long
been noticed among the Indian peO-
pie and in Northern Mexico is tribe
in which this popularity is almost uni
versal.
A hundred years before the Span
;ards came to Mexico, an Indian Of
that country foretold that bearded men
from the east would teach his people
the true religion under the symbol of
the cross. But why would be have
been likely to say this, unless in pre-
ceding centuries white men had act
ually crossed the sea?
When the natives of America be-
came known to the Europeans, they
were acquainted with the cross and
held to belief in Immortality.
May not this mysterious figure be
a christian relic and not properly an
idol at al? The animal held in the
arms could as well be intended for a
lamb as anything else.
For some years it has been admit
ted that the Scandinavian sea rovers
visited the American coast and even
established temporary town called
Norumbago near Boston. But Irish
scholars claim that missionaries from
their island visited America 1900
years ago. This is not by any means
IN impossible claim, and it would go
far to explain those traces Of Christ
ians which were noticed 10y the early
voyagers.-King,rood Argus

Talk about new and wonderful

enthusiastic agent, I've got a list Of
novelties no enterprising, wide-awake
farmer can afford 10 do without :"
"Hev YEP" said the honest tiller Of

his eyes.
"Yes, sir. l can sell you a pie

"Well, III Jest be hanged il that
