KingIy superstitions.

Kingship has been kin to superstition
always. James /. of England was su-
perstitious about dates, and there were
remarkable condolences in his life
with certain dates Of the calendar. The
day of the month on which he was
born was strangely interviewer with
the days Of birth and marriage of his
wife and some of his children and their
wives. But James was an old fool who
made love to young Buckingham, who
laughed in his face and robbed him OF
his jewels.
Napoleon was superstitious about the
way he put on his stockings. Frederick
the Great and the great Peter of Rus
sia were superstitious about dozens OF
things. Marlborough, both as Jack
Churchill and the duke, was supersti-
tous as well as a thief and a traitor.
Nearly all the Stuarts were supersti-
tious and double dealers in religion.
Henry of Navarro was superstitious,
but that never kept him from a thou
sand infidelities. All the children or
Catherine of Medici were scared to
death by their superstitions, but they
could lie, cheat and murder just as
well. IL Cromwell was victim of su-
perstition, he kept it to himself.-New
York Press.

The poor sinners bell Is bell In the
city OF Breslau, in the province OF
Silesia, Prussia, and hangs in the tower
of one of the city churches. 1t was
cast July II, 1886, according to historic
records 1t is said that great bell
founder of the place had undertaken
to make the finest church bell he had
ever made.
When the metal was melted, the
founder withdrew for a few moments,
leaving a boy to watch the furnace
and enjoining him not to meddle with
the catch that held the molten metal,
but the boy disobeyed the caution. and
when he saw the metal flowing into
the mold he called the founder.
The latter rushed in and, seeing as he
thought his work of weeks undone and
his masterpiece ruined, struck the boy
a blow that caused his immediate
death. When the metal cooled and the
mold was opened, the bell was found to
be not only perfect, but Of marvellous
sweetness of tone.
The founder gave himself up to the
authorities, was tried and condemned
to death. On the day Of his execution
the bell was rung to call people to at
tend church and offer a prayer for the
unhappy mans soul, and from that 1t
obtained the name of ''the poor sinners

Fishing For Ducks.

In India an ingenious scheme is prac-
ticed for taking ducks en- a line, which
is attached at one end to flexible stick
stuck up in the mud, the other extrem-
ity having a double pointed needle OF
bone attached to 1t. The latter is bait
ed by stringing upon it some grains OF
corn. Presently along comes Mr.. Duck,
swallows the needle and finds himself
q captive the moment he tries to fly
away. In olden times the Cape Cod
fishermen depended largely for bait up
on the seafowl they took on their voy-
ages. To catch them they threw out
fishing lines with hooks on the end, to
which were attached chunks of cod
liver. The latter floated because Of the
oil they contained, and INJURIES, gulls
and other birds swallowing them were
quickly pulled in, skinned and chopped

Raanf Peaeock.

In the old days a peacock was per-
haps the most gorgeous and decorative
dish on the Christmas board. This was
prepared by first carefully removing
the skin without losing the feathers.
The fowl was then dressed, stuffed
with all kinds of good things, roasted
and finally sewed into its skin, still re-
tanning the brilliant plumage. The
beak was gilded, and this dish, fit for
a king, was placed upon the table amid
the blare of trumpets and the raptur-
GUS applause Of the revelers.

busy forenoon listening to reports
which showed the fourishing condition

by eminent divines and other who
pointed out the grand results attained
in the past and the necessity for great
or activity in the future.
The auditorium of Roberts Park
church, spacious thought it is. could
scarcely accommodate the immense
throng assembled when the gathering
was called to order at 8 O'Clock. Af-
ter preliminary service of music an d

ANOTHER FAKE STORY.

A special dispatch to Denver pa
per from Florence yesterday made the
statement among other exagerations
that wall of water sixteen feet high
rushed down Sand creek as result of
a storm in the Wet Mountain country.
We failed to see the monster wall,
but what an awe-inspiring spectacle
it must have been.
The same article stated that had
it not been for the flood, Florence
would have suffered for water within
month, and that previous to that the
city was without fire protection. Such
statements are not only ridiculous, but
they are absolutely harmful. The fact
is that even without another drop of
rain this summer there was water
enough in the reservoirs by actual
measurement to run the city until the
first of November.
There is no excuse for that sort of
thing other than desire to fill space
for the money there is in it.
