An Ancient Colt,

One of Mrs. Grants favorite stories
was of an experience in camp some
where in the Adirondacks. when her
husband, then president for the first
term, wanted TO get away from Wash
ington officialdom. Mrs. Grant was
bothered about the washing. A guide
recommended woman who had seen
better days, who lived little way
down the lake. Mrs. Grant engaged
her. Two days afterward she saw a
scene that, as she expressed it, re-
minded her of Elaine" 1t was her
washerwoman padding in dugout be-
hind heap of snowy linen.
Less II year ago." said the woman
apologetically, II wouldn't had to "a
used the boat. l brung it by the colt.
But one day he jes' got collie or some
thin and rolled over on the grass and
died. My, how we miss that colt! We'd
had him for twenty years"

why Frenchmen Are Small.

1t is said that the under size of the
French and their physical shortcom-
ings as nation are due for the most
part to the heavy drain made upon the
race by Napoleon. All the ablebodied
men were enrolled in his service, leav-
ing none at domestic or business pur-
suits except the extremely youthful or
the aged. From this drainage of the
blood and destruction of the sinew of
the race France has not yet recovered.

You fellers never get anything
right SO won't tell you.'
The reporter did not get angry.
He knew the man was fool.
He had seen him before.
He knew the real facts could be had
from no one else.
Yet the reporter did the very best he
could to get at the truth.
And published the story as he got it.
Then the man who had refused to
give the facts arose early and bought n
paper TO see if the facts were distorted.
They were.
And he said:

This is Il true story, says a writer,
that my grandmother told me about
her cat and dog. She used TO find the
cover off her doughnut jar and also no
ticed that her doughnuts disappeared.
One day she heard a noise and found
that the cat was on the shelf where the
doughnuts We're kept. Then it put its
paw in the jar and drew out dough-
nut and pushed it off the shelf, and the
dog, who was looking up at the cat,
caught the doughnut in his mouth and
ate it. When they found they were
caught, they acted very guiltily.

The Syrlan's Keen Eve.

John Kelman cites recent work on
the Holy Land the following anecdote,
which he relates apropos of the
Syrian's habit Of noticing minute
things that entirely escape the ordi-
nary Observer
"A story is told of a thief IN a Ger
tain town in Palestine who entered a
house and stole nothing. He simply
went out and claimed the house before
the Judge: When the case came to
trial the thief challenged the owner
to tell how many steps were In the
stair, how many panes Of glass in
the windows and a long catalogue of
other such details. This the owner
could not do, and when the thief gave
the numbers correctly the house was
at once given to him as its obvious
owner"
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1903-01-22
How They Wooed.

An English Judge, not long deceased,
used to tell a diverting story of his
wooing. In those days he was strug-
Cling and obscure barrister without
even the prospect of an income and
the lady upon whom he had set his
affections was the daughter Of purse
proud tradesman with highsounding
name, who was strongly opposed to
giving his daughter to "penniless
lawyer"
"Do you know, sir" the father thun-
dered when he was asked for his
daughters hand-"do you know. sir,
that my daughters ancestors have all
been noblemen and that one Of them
was a favorite minister of Queen Eliza
beth?"
"Oh, yes, know all that" the young
barrister placidly answered; land do
YOU know that Queen Elizabeth once
slapped your ancestors face, and un-
less you are more civil I will do the
same for you?'
1t is scarcely surprising that so bold
and daring a lover had his way in the
end, even in the face Of such barrier
of ghostly noble ancestors.
The late Prince Bismorck, it Is said,
won his wife by similar coup de
main. Although he had not known
the lady of his love more than a few
days and her parents were not even
aware Of his existence, he presented
himself one day before them and bold
~ asked permission to marry their
daughter. In vain the father fumed
and clustered and threatened to have
the young man forcibly elected from
the house for his impertinence.
II am sorry to annoy you, SIR" the
young soldier said, "but I must re-
spectfully decline to leave the house
until have your consent"
Nor did he, although the consent was
given in these ungracious words:
"Well. suppose you must have your
way, but I cannot compliment my
daughter on her choice of mule for
a husband"

Castro and His Rival,

Cipriano Castro, President of Vene-
zuela. came from the extreme west OF
the country, and in 1898 removed
President Andrade from Office, and be-
came Provisional President himself.
His followers were from the Andean
region and anarchy reigned in Caracas
during the emeute. His special
adherence is European meddling in
the finance of his country. On Octo-
Der %, 1901, he was duly elected Con-
stitutional President, and his term
does not regularly expire until March,
1908.
The Berlin Kreuz Zeitung, in COM
menting on his conduct, while the
debts now discussed were being con-
tracted, said: "Then he began in the
palace of Mira Flores at Caracas the
life of an unbridled Sardanapalus. But
when the brave man invited his fair
friends from North America, and the
people heard of the orgies that were
held. heard that their money was 60
ing to North America, there arose a
cry for the fellows expulsion" This
is the biased view of a German paper
Castro was elected by the people af
ter that.
Now the chief rival for his place is
General Manuel Antonio Matos man
who spent years in Europe and is a
diplomat of power. He is responsible
for the European hostility to Castro
Europe has financed him, and he has
pledged the resources of Venezuela as
security in event of his success.
If in connection with a true por
traiture of the man reflection be given
to the unknown validity or amount Of
the debts, some guaranteed and some
private contracts, it may be concluded
that this impetuous Andean has some
shadow of right with him. His zig
zags are to be measured by the Span
ish standard.-Pittsburg Post.

WORDS OF WISDOM,

The plainest face blossoms into real
beauty when the heart is the home of
love.
Whenever we lift at another mans
burden, we gain more strength to carry
our own.
Do not confine your children to your
own learning, for they were born in
another time.
AS rule of life, one finds that the
truth lies somewhere between first inl'
pressions and final decisions.
The moment past is no longer: the
future may never be: the present is
all Of which man is the master.
The source of all passions is sensi
tiveness-it is the errors Of imagina
ton that transform them into vices.
A man should never blush in confess
ing his errors, for he proves by his
ayowal that he is wiser to-day thar
yesterday.
There are three who are especially
beloved by God: he who Is forbearing
he who is temperate and lie who is
courteous.
A man who talks constantly has
thousand ways at hand in which tc
make a fool Of himself. A silent mai
has but one.
We do not grow away from our be
ginnings, nor from any Of our success
sive stages of growth; we simply keel
adding, inch By inch, to our menta
and spiritual as we'll as to our physica
stature, but We never grow away from
any part Of tive can only "add on"
Worry is the dominance Of the mint
by a single, vague. restless, unsatisied
fearing and fearful idea. The menta
energy and force that should be con
centrated on the successive duties o.
the day is constantly and surreptitious
" abstracted and absorbed by this on
fixed idea.
Worry must not be confused Will
anxiety, though both words agree II
the meaning originally, a "choking," O.
"strangling," referring. Of course, t.
the throttling effect upon individual &C
tivity. Anxiety faces large issues O.
life seriously, calmly, with dignity
Anxiety always suggests hopeful pos
sibility; it is active in being ready ant
devising methods to meet the outcome

SACRED PICTURES IN RUSSIA.
Peasants Carry Them Through the
Streets to Invoke BLESSINGS.

Peasants Carry Them Through the
Streets to Invoke Blessings.
A picturesque ceremony is perform.
ed in time of public distress by the
peasants Of various parts Of Russia,
They bring from the churches the
sacred pictures which a3orn the walls,
or the silken banners embroidered in
silk and gold figures which rest on the
affairs and carry them in long process
sion to the prayer booths which they
have erected in appropriate places. If
drouth is running their harvests they
build these votive booths near some
river; If too much rain has fallen they
build them in neighboring field; II
restilence has smitten their villages
they build them in the burying ground.
The moujiks Of the village then
gather about the church. With barred
heads they wait while certain of their
number enter and bring forth the sac
red picture. This Is often heavy, as
in many instances 1t Is framed in gold.
But the peasants are not discouraged
by it's weight. They have made
rough frame in which they place the
nicture. Then the bearers grasp poles
which are slipped through the frame.
after the manner of !,alanquin, and
stagger with their sacred load owe:
the rough road. The rest Of the
moujiks follow accompanied by their
village priest, who leads IN the prayers
and chants. When the booth is reach
ed the peasants kneel round the pic
ture, supplicating for relief, and the
priest sprinkles the field, river or
burying ground with holy water. A.
