How small the world is is borne in upon
me every day says Gen John Haldeman,
formerly minister TO Siam. In New York
recently | set out 10 so TO Tarrytown on a
public automobile coach. In the seat be-
SIDE me sat a lady whose face was muffled
in a heavy veil. Before we had gone a
great way | performed some little act of
Civility for her. and We entered into conver-
satiOn. / introduced myself, only 10 find
that she had been born and reared in the
little Illinois town in which l spent my boy
hood. Her fathers house had been not FIVE
minutes walk from my fathers house, and
| knew her father and all her family well.
AS she told me she was a stranger in New
York l said that I'd like to present TO her
a young man, great friend of mine, who
is journalist there. AS l men
toned his name she smiled and said she
was staying at his house, and that his wife
was a cousin of hers. They say there are
only eight separate and distinct jokes in the
world, and sometimes | think there aren't
more than that number of circles OF ac-
quaintances. for you find them touching and
intefmingling wherever YOU EO.

you print a poem recitcd by John Iolo,
clown of John Robinson's circus thirty
years ago? The first verse is something as
follows
This life is but a game of cards,
Which all mOrtals have to learn;
Each shufies. cuts and deals the pack.
Each man his trump does turn
Some hold a high card, while others hold
the low;
Some hold a hand quite flush with trump,
While others none can show.
The universal rule in checkers is that
10 touch a checker means that the player
must continue his move. This covers all
three of your questions. 2. We are unable
to find the verses asked for.

"A
martyrdom under Marcus Aurelius. Ac-
cording to the legend she was thrown into
a boiling cauidron and came out unhurt.
Then her terrified executioner struck three
times trying to behead her, and fed.
Three days later she died, and was buried
in the catacomb OF Callistus. Her bones
were put in the Church of Saint Cecilia at
Rome in S21. She is looked on as the pa
troness Of musicians and the inventor of
the organ. Her festival is Nov. p. Ra-
phael and Rubens painted celebrated pic
lures Of her, and Dryden wrote an ode for
her day. Saint Cecilia of Africa, whose
day is Feb IL, is another person alto
gether. 2. The scheme of the public land
surveys divides the public domain into dis
tricts, through each of which a meridian
line is run, and from some point this
astronomically, and serve as axes. Paral
lei to them lines run six miles apart,
the resulting squares, called townships,
containing thirty-siX square miles. Town
ships between consecutive meridians con-
stitute a range. and ranges are numbered
east and west from the principal meridian;
and in each range townships are numbered
north and south from the main east and
west line. Townships are divided into
squares, sections of mile a side.
These are numbered from the northeast
corner to number six, next backward TO
twelve, which comes just south of one, and
so alternately to the southeast corner,
which is thirty-six.

Big Prices for Walnut stumps.

Nashville American.
Old walnut stumps are on boom
throughout Tennessee. Stumps that have
remained unnoticed for years and were re-
garded as worthless now ca gerly sought
after AT prices that seem almost fabulous
An Indiana concern has had men travelling
over the country buying every old walnut
stump that could be found. At first the
prices paid were small, but as the eyes of
the stick timber folks began 10 open the
prices went higher and higher, until now
it's out OF sight, and the funny part about
il is that the ugher, knottier and more un-
slightly the stump the more money it will
bring The stump Of a walnut tree that
was cut down several years ago brought
more than the whole OF the tree. 1t is stated
that the stumps are made into veneering
material and used in the manufacture Of
high-grade furniture.

And citizenship where Thy saints appear
Before Thee heart in heart and hand in hand,

With walls of jasper and with streets Of gold,

the press or doing chores, was equal to

The editorial labor in those days was
not excessive. There was generally a
column leader on politics or national af-
fairs, often rehashed from an eastern
daily; communications from Vox Populi
Pro Bono Bublco. and others of that ilk;
letters from the boys at the front, it being
the first year of the war; and stick or
two of home matters which managed
somehow to find their way into the sane
tum. Much of the drudgery consisted in
reading the magazines and exchanges for
inside copy, usually done at night OR on
Sunday. The paper was of necessity all
home print, auxiliary sheets not being in
the market and stereotype plates quite a
recent invention. There was no hustling
around town for items, reports of eau
cuses, conventions and other meetings
were furnished by the secretary, and
nothing approaching to local news gath

not until several years later when at the

columns of, Minor Topics, spending sew

necessary data. This feature, it is need
less to say, was widely copied, and is to-
day leading characteristic of the coun-
