Henpecked For "A Day.

In the little hamlet of Nordhastedt,
near Meldorf, singular custom is OBJ
served annually. According to tradi-
ton, it dates back to the thirteenth
century. During that era the hamlet
was on one occasion attacked by n
band of robbers, and the men of the
village were soon compelled to beat n
retreat.
Thereupon the women boldly at
tackled the robbers and not only van
quished them, but also took the leader
and several of the band prisoners. AS
token of their gratitude the men
have ever since allowed the women to
celebrate this great event by holding
festival at stated intervals, and on
such occasions they exercise no au-
thority themselves, but submit in all
things to the will of the women.
The latter greatly enjoy their tenn
porary supremacy and, as a symbol
thereof, never fail to fasten n large
wooden slipper to every lamp and
chandelier in the hamlet.

On It's own Merits.

A young man who spent his summer
vacation on Maine farm says that
new instances of the thrift and shrewd-
ness of his landlady are constantly
thrusting themselves upon his atten-
ton.
One day Il wagon load of unexpected
relatives descended on the farm, and
the mistress was, as she afterward
frankly said, put to it, to provide
enough food for dinner. She brought
forward among other things an apple
pie which seemed to the boarder far
inferior to the pies she usually made.
But when she served il she spoke of
her reputation as n piemaker.
'tThey do say at the sociables that
nobody's pies quite come up to mine, "
she remarked. with n beaming smile.
'and apple pies are what you might
call my speciality. I've often been
asked for the recipe, but 1 tell 'em it's
knack and Judgment does it, not rule. "
The pie disappeared, and then, when
her guests were not as hungry as they
had been, she brought forth Il second
pie, fiaky of crust and luscious to the
taste.
'Why, Aunt Mary" said the youn-
gest of the party, n boy of twelve, Il
think this pies ever SO much better
than the other, and you haven't said
word about it,
His aunt looked at him without so
much as n twinkle in her eyes.
"This one will go down without
praising, 1 reckon" she said gravely.

A Medi@vaI AIegnphone.

A curiosity of great antiquity is still
to be seen within st. Andrews church
at Willoughton, near GainsbOrough,
says an English magazine. This is a
quaint speaking trumpet with an OBJ
scure early history, dating back to the
times of the knights Templars. In
shape it resembles French horn and
is more than five feet long, having u
bell at the end of the graduated tube.
1t was formerly six feet in length, but
is now telescoped at the joints, where
the metal has apparently decayed.
Tradition declares it was formerly
sounded from the tower to summon
aid in case of need, as, when blown
at a height, the weird, deep notes the
trumpet produced could be heard u
great distance away in bygone days.
1t is believed that this curious instru-
ment has often been used to call to-
gether the villagers, thus dispensing
with the usual bell, and to give addi-
tional power and strength to the choir,
being then probably used by the chief
singer, as the trumpet intensifies vocal
sound to a marked degree.

in the procession were ladies. and once
in whilea girl appeared as the daugh-

female band, composed of ladies hail
ing from Waterloo, Ind, all of whom
wore long maroon colored dresses.
In many instances the departments
representing states carried banners or
badges or other devices intended to at

teristics. South Dakota's sons carried

each carried a big ear of native corn
on the side where formerly canteens
were borne, these ears being suspend
ed from bright broad new yeIIow RIO
bons. They passed the reviewing stand
shouting in unison: "Hurrah, hurrah,
for corn and hay! We are the boys
from oway" The North Dakotans bore
aIoft sheaves of wheat. One of the

Jack Jeffries, brother of the cham

Jeffries, spent last night in the city
ON his way east. Mr.. Jeffries is &c
years of age and weighs POS pounds
and is q fine specimen of physical
manhood. He stands six feet and is
well proportional. His general APP.

the general impression of the average
pugilist. as his vocabulary is of rath-
err a refined character. He modestIy
admits that he was educated for a
minister, but the allurements of the

Jeffries says his brother Jim is two
years his senior and after completing

native town of Boston he served an
apprenticeship to boiler maker.

PRESIDENTS DRIVE ALONG THE LINE

Sling, as IL Were, but Goes.

But probably the thing that pleased
the marcherS more than anything else
was the sight of the president. who
with his "gameSg resting in board.
ond seated IN borough with Cortel-
you and Colonel Bingham. drove down
the line of marcherS from front torear
He had to be carried downstairs and
carefully lifted into the carriage and
his wife watched the operation with
great interest from window of the
temporary White House. As he start
ed the president looked up and saluted
Mrs. Roosevelt.
There was wait of perhaps ten
minutes in front of the temporary
White House after the president en-
tered the carriage. to allow the head
of the big procession to reach the re-
viewing stand opposite Lafayette park.
a platoon of mounted police acted as
an escort for the president. As the
party swept into the broad avenue a
tremendous cheer went up and the
sidewalks and stands were white with
fluttering handkerchiefs. The presi-
dent acknowledged the demonstration
by lifting his hat and bowling right
and left. In front of the reviewing
stand the presidents carriag &c was halt
ed until the citizens committee and
escort of General Torrance, the COM
mander-in-chief had passed.
The journey down the avenue was
made to the right of the On-coming
column of veterans, the demonstra-
ton swelling in volume as it proceed
ed Spectators and veterans alike
cheered the appearance of the chief
executive. The return journey from
the Peace monument was made on the
other side of the avenue and at a more
rapid pace. When the carriage drew
up in front of the Jackson place resi-
dence the heroes were flecked with
foam.

A storv Of Henry Clay Denn.

A good story is related of Henry
Clay Dean, the famous orator of a
generation or so ago. Mr.. Dean was
generally referred to as Henry Clay
Dean of Iowa" even long after he had
established a home in Missouri. He
explained his change of habitation in
this way: "You see, they passed ne
farious prohibition law in Iowa, and
there's your whisky gone Then they
abolished capital punishment, and
there's your hanging gone, and now
the whole population seems to be
drifting toward Universalism, and
there's your hades gone. i can't live
in a state that has neither hades,
hanging nor whisky."-Argonaut.

THE Secret Dispatch" a drama
dealing with events during the war
period, will be the attraction at the
Illinois on the 10th. 1t Is by DAVID
Higgins, and is not war drama by
any means, but n domestic romance
with a setting that involves incidents
of the late civil war. 1t is a play OF
love and the hearth-Stone--a story of
the fireside, rural drama i'm it's va
riety of character and comedy Incl
dents told graphically and with all
the vigor that Mr.. Higgins knows so
well how to put into his dramas. The
play is good one, its story is told in
an original way. The slight military
aspect is natural and the effect in the
thrilling second act are novel" The
above is a quotation from a Worces-
