Only those who have to go to the
depths of long disused trunks when
moving time necessitates renovation
and the Sitting of belongings realize
how much of what one clings to as in
dispensable becomes absolutely useless
when laid by for time. Pictures
priced for one reason or another, SOU
venirs that fail to recall anything but
inconvenience, letters that one couldn't
bear to burn, odds and ends that one
was sure to want, all become as trash
I'm the repose of the stored trunk and
are sacrificed without a qualm when
moving time comes around to make
room for other things that will last
their little day and then find the same
end.-New York Press.

a story to tell tearfully of hayward

ANIMAL IMITATlVENESS.

Like His Master.
One of the most curious traits to be
found in the animal nature" said an
oDservant citizen, sis that which grows
out of the unconscious imitativeness of
creatures OF the lower order. l have
observed many instances of where the
creatures of lower order have taken
on the characteristics in some notice
able degree of members of the human
family. One might know, for instance,
the beggar's dog from the look of the
Jog, from the droop of the eye, the pa
thetic hang Of the lip and certain gen.
eral air of dependency and hopeless
ness which seems to speak in the very
nature of the animal l mention the
peggars dog because it is q familiar
example. The beggar's dog never looks
cheerful, never smiles, never frolics,
out simply sits by his master and
oroods and begs for whatever charity
may give.
i have seen the dog character mold
ed under happier influences, and the
oog became more cheerful. He was a
hght hearted, free and easy sort Of
creature and seemed to get something

A Good Memory.

When Theodore Roosevelt was gov
ernor of New York, he was Il great
friend of the porters and employees of
the New York Central One morning
he took the 9:15 train from Albany
west, and as he entered the car he said
to Adams the colorcd porter: Hello.
porter! You here still|'
"Yes sir" replied the porter, "and
I'm going to stay here till you get to be
president, and then l want you to give
me a job"
"I'll go you" promptly replied the
governor, and, sure enough. when Gov
ernor Roosevelt became president Of
the United States he surprised Adams
by sending for him to so to work in
Washington. -SchOolmaster.

Seventh Century Needlework.

Before the end of the seventh century
needlework was carr d to great per-
lection in converts. where it was used
for the establishment of the church
and the decoration of priestly robes.
Artists did not think it beneath their
dignity to trace the patterns used for
embroidery in their natural colors. A
certain religious lady, wishing to en-
broider sacerdotal vestment, asked no
less parsonage than st. Dunstan, then
young man, but already noted for his
artistic skill and taste. to draw the
flowers and figures which she after
ward worked in gold thread.

Matters Up With the New Yorker.
When the young man from Florida
came TO live in New York, he woke up
one morning last winter, and, going TO
the window. he looked out on what was
to him a novel scene. 1t was Il snow
storm. the first he had ever seen.
Jumping into his clothes. he ran into
the street. He stopped and gathered
handfuls of snow and threw them in
the air. He jumped into drift and
sent it flying with bis feet He finally
lay down and rolled in it, all the time
shouting and laughing at the top of his
voice.
One of the crowd which had gathered
to watch his antics Went up to him and
told him how his mother used to cure
fits and volunteered TO try it on him.
Il haven't any fit" the young man
said.

why, don't you see the snow?"

"Well, l haven't" said the Florida
young man.

"Never. Seems strange to you, don't

MoHAMMEDANS At PRAYER
They Always Respond When the
Voice of the Muexzin Calls,

The Mohammedan begins his prayer
standing, with his hands outspread
and his thumbs touching the lobes of
his ears. In this position he repeats
certain passages from the Koran, then
brings his hands down to his girdle,
folds them and recites several other
passages from the same book. Next he
bends forward, rests both hands upon
his knees and repeats three times with
bowed head the formula of prayer to
God, the most great Then he rises and
cries, allah hu akbarr' God is great
sixteen times.
He then drops forward until his fore
head touches the ground between his
extended hands. He strikes his head
upon the floor at least three times. pro-
claiming his humility, and often a doz-
en- and sometimes twenty times the act
will be repeated, according to his de-
sire to show humility and repentance.
He then returns to his knees and, set
Ting back upon his heels. repeats
ritual. Next, arising to his feet, he
holds his hands and concludes the
prayer, repeating over and again the
words, There is no god but God. and
Mohammed is his prophet"
This may be repeated once or a dozen
or forty times. according to the piety
of the worshiper. and he holds string
of beads in his hands to keep tally. His
obligations are then accomplished, but
he can go through the same ritual
again as many times as he likes. The
more frequently he does so the better
Moslem he is. His piety is measured
by the number of times he repeats his
prayers, and like the Pharisees of the
Scriptures, he prays in public places.
No matter where he happens to be or
by whom he is surrounded, whether at
labor in the fields or selling goods in
his shop or however he may be en-
ployed, the Mussulman never forgets
TO pray when the voice of the muezzin
reminds him that the hour for devotion
has arrived

Nickel Fittings.

To clean the nickel plate of the bath
room mixture of washing soda and
ammonia may be used for the cleaning
part, with a little thin whiting paste
when it comes to the polishing. These
fitments are easily kept clean and
bright if treated once week, but the
surface once thoroughly clouded
through neglect it will take many re-
peated rubbings to restore the original
polish and brightness.

Mrs. E.rrison.s Pen Name.

Charles Kingsley's talented daughter
chooses to be known as Lucas Malet
because her modesty induced her to
conceal her identity, so that any fail
ure on her part should not dim the lus
ter of her fathers fame. For this rea-
son she combined the names of two
clever women in her family, one of
whom was Mrs. Mary Lucas, the maid
en- name of her fathers mother, and
the other Alice Malet, her grandmoth-
er's aunt, both of which names she has
thus rescued from Washing

Child Obedience.

There should be no conflict of author
ity between husband and wife in the
exaction of obedience from their chill
dren. Little ones learn quickly that
they can appeal from mother to father
and vice versa. One parent should up
hold the authority of the other To be
a shuttlecock tossed to and fro between
conflicting parental methods of disci-
pline is very detrimental to the child.

yer, attorney for the Anti-saloon league.
The night approaches In bitterness that
which ended in the assassination OF Rev.
George G. Haddock here a few years ago.
Sioux City is a river town and the saloon
element is strong. The Saloon league

Controls baltimore a h Business
Under Terms of n Long
Time Contract.

BALTIMORE, July 2.-The Baltimore
News today publishes the following au-
thorized statement:
The transfer of the telegraph lines Of the
Pennsylvania railroad from the Western
Union Telegraph to the Postal Telegraph
company has caused many wild reports.
One is that the contract between the West
ern Union and the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road will be annulled by reason OF the
dominant relation OF the Pennsylvania TO
the Baltimore & Ohio. The News is in
formed by ar authoritative source that
such a report is untrue. That the facts
may be made public, the following brief
and authoritative statement explains them
When the Western Union acquired the
old Baltimore & Ohio Telegraph company
It made a contract with the Baltimore q
Ohio Railroad company. This contract
was executed in October, 1887, for a term
of fifty years, and therefore, does not
expire until 1887, which is t~hirty-hve years
hence. A clause in the contract provides
that II may be extended for fifty years
more by either party on six months notice.

Another round over Fences.

Another round in the litigation over the
fenced-in ~thoroughfares at Lake Manawa
is booked for today in the superior court,
as the motor company has announced that
It will not comply with the order Of Judge
Scott and remove the obstruction now eX-
listing on the streets in controversy. Under
the order OF Judge Scott the motor com
pany has up to noon today to remove the
fence and other distractions on Third
street, Park avenue and the portion Of the
Lake boulevard connecting Third and Sec
ond streets.
Attorneys for Crissman & Robards and
the other plaintiffs in the injunction pro-
ceedings yesterday filed a motion to strike
out the alleged supersedeas bond filed by
the motor company and the endorsement
OF the clerk Of the court thereon suspend
ing proceedings pending the determination
of the appeal. for the alleged reasons that
the clerk is attempting to exercise judicial
functions and that under the order OF the
court the ruling is not supersedable.
The plaintiffs also filed a motion asking
that a. writ of abatement and order for the
enforcement OF the decree be issued at noon
today in the event that the motor company
fails to remove the fences and other OBJ
structions.
