TO PROTECT GALYEsToN ".

The people of Galveston don't mean to
 ing to the report, lately made public, of
 the three engineers who were asked to
 devise plan, danger of destructive
 overflow, in which the town would be
 exposed to a pounding surf, can be
 aVerted by the construction of a high
 breakwater on the side of the city to-
 wards the sea, and by an amount of
 filling-in, behind this sea-wall, suffi-
 cient to raise the main part of the town
 above the level of destructive floods
 The sea-Wall, as projected, would be of
 concrete, about three miles in length and some seventeen feet above mean
 low water, or 1,3 feet higher than the high water mark of 1900 Back of the wall the engineers suggest further, there should be built an earthen em- bankment to the height of eighteen feet above low water at distance of two hundred feet from the wall, the grade thence sloping gradually to the level of the fill. The cost of the sea-wa1l alone is estimated at about a million and a quarter, that of the embankment at something over half million.
 Just as soon as the people of Calves ton knew what to do they set about doing it. A popular subscription was opened to an issue of 1 per cent. bonds. From one firm and four individuals quarter of a million was pledged with in three days, and $50,O00 more was promised in amounts of ten dollars to five hundred. The terms of subscrip- ton were made exceedingly easy. Civic pride has been enlisted, civic patriotism 1 and faith in the city's future The va rious fraternal orders have made it a | point of honor to add to the pledges, | and numbers of the police have set l down their names. The lahorinE ropu- ! lation is almost a unit in advocacy of | a speedy prosecution of the work, be- lieving, as do the others, that Galveston l needs but reasonable safeguards for 1 life and property against occasional storms to insure a rapid and perma- nent development in numbers, influence and wealth
 Galveston is flourishing now, and will soon be flourishing more than ever. Its  disaster could hardly be called a bless ng in disguise, but it has given rise to | lot of plucky enterprise. l.

THE OLDEST DOLL IN AMERICA.

 Brought to This Country in 1899 When
 William Came Over in the Good Ship
 Canterbury.
 In 1899, when William Penn sailed from England in the good ship Canter- bury for his second visit to his Ameri- can colony, he brought with him an English doll, of which, so far scant mo- tice has been taken, although it is be- lieved to be to-day the sole surviving representative of that voyage across the Atlantic. This doll, selected by Will liam Penn's daughter Leltia, was sent by her to little Miss Rankin of Phila delphia, and after two hundred event. ful years still retains in a marked de- gree much of the brightness and beauty of those early days when she was the pet of one little Quakeress after anoth- CT. Her dress, not having changed with the changing fashions, is the court dress of that period, and is made of striped and deicately tinted brocade and velvet; the skirt is very full and is distended over an enormous hoop She is twenty inches in height, and her fig ure is long waisted and slender as are ths PictuFeS pr court pGdutleS III llOSe days, The full basque spreading out from the belt over the skirt enhances the slender effect. The hair Is rolled away from the face much in the fashion of to-day. She now lives in Montgom- cry county, Md, in the retirement her great age demands, only being removed from her careful wrappings when strangers whom her quiet fame has reached, come to make close acquaint- ance with this the oldest doll in Amer ica,-Ladles' Home Journal

BULL MET HIS MATCH,
How Farmer Saved the Animal Fron
Interfering With Trolley Cars,

Interfering With Trolley Cars "When they began to run the trolley line up my way" said Macomb coun- ty farmer the other day, q made up my mind that I'd have to do something with my old bull. When he takes fit to leave field there's no fence high enough to stop him, and when he's wan dering along the highway he calculates he's the biggest thing on earth. l knew he'd mix up with the first trolley ear that came whizzng along, and so 1 says to my son Jim:
 Jim, we've got to experiment. little and give our old bull a setback. Let's see what we can rig up"
 Jim was agreed, and so it happened that feller came along next day with portable engine. l told him what was wanted and he was still talking, when the old bull jumped the fence into the road. He had his eye on that engine, and he knew it was a good chance to show off. The man would have run away if he could, being afraid of an up- set but there was no chance, and he took the middle of the road and let Ter rip. Down went the bulls head and up went his tail, and he charged that en- zine head-on. There was smash to be heard half mile away, and the engine rose up on it's hind wheels and then came down all right, though it was a close call'
 But what about the bull?" was asked.

Postmaster Van Cott, of New York, is naturally much pleased over the pass age by the senate of the bill for a new metropolitan postoffice, and is of the opinion that the house will concur and President Roosevelt sign the measure He says: What we want is a new building with about S5,000 feet of floor space. With that we can give the peo- pie of New York a better service than they ever had before. What we need most is ground space, and with that we shall nave enough room for the inter- nal revenue and pension departments, thus saving the government a lot of rent. I hope the site will be selected near the Grand Central station, as the major portion of the mails come in thsre. If the bill is passed we should have the new building ready for com pletion in a year and half.

He distinctly states that to him,
the love and affection given by the
American people is greater than
any office in civil life, which might
be bestowed upon him, even the
highest. And this conclusion the
larger part of the American people
will applaud. That he has formed
this judgment will offend only a
few, the self seeking politician.
