Suun.Takinr.

In 1712 the London Spectator COM
planned of snuff-t taking as an imperti-
nent custom adopted by fine women
and equally disgusting whether prac-
ticed sedately or coquettishly. Some
used the box only as a means of dis
playing their pretty hands; but the
thorough-paced woman of fashion
pulled out. her box in the middle of
the sermon and freely offered her best
Brazilian to friends of either sex and
asked the church warden to take a
pinch as she dropped her money into
the collecting plate. Thus for time
the snuffbox was as much part Of
the "f1ne lady's" toilet as the fan it
self.
More than once the snuffbox has
played an important part in political
life. After the banishment Of Napo-
leon to Elba, and while the Bonapart-
lists were plotting for his return, they
used to fill their boxes with snuff
scented with violets-his favorite
flower. When desirous Of learning
which side an individual favored they
would offer pinch and significantly
ask. do you like this perfume?"
Talleyrand always said that diplo-
matists ought to take snuff, as it af-
fords a pretext for delaying reply
and gave opportunities for covering
any involuntary expression Of emotion.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN


The hour was on us; where the manf
The tateful sands unfaltering ran.
And uF the way Of tears
He came into the years.
Ger pastoral captain. Forth he came
As one that answers to his name;
Nor dreamed how high his charge,
His work how fair and large
To set the stones back In the wall
Lest the divided house should fall,
And peace from men depart,
Hope and the childlike heart.
We looked on him; "'Tis he,'' we said.
Come crownless and unheralded,
The shepherd who will keep
The focks, will fold the sheep"
Unknightly, yes; yet twas the mien
Presaging the immortal scene,
Some battle of His wars
Who sealeth up the stars.
Nor would he take the past between
His hands, wipe valor's tablets clean,
Commanding greatness walt
Till he stand at the gate;
Not he would cramp to one small head
The awful laurels of the dead,
Times mighty vintage cup,
And drink all honor up.
No hutter Of the banners bold
Borne by the lusty sons Of old,
The naughty conquerors
Set forward to their wars;
Not his their blare, their pageantries
Their goal, their glory, was not his;
Humbly he came to keep
The aocks, to fold the sheep.
The need comes not without the man;
The prescient hours unceasing ran,
And up the way of tears
He came into the years,
Our pastoral captain, skilled to crook
The spear into the pruning hook,
The simple, kindly man,
Lincoln, American.

"LIkE 80 CENTS"
How a Current Slang Phrase Started
on Its Travels.

The origin of slang has always been
a puzzle to philologists, but once in a
while a current phrase can be traced
feel like thirty cents" is apparently
nonsensical, but it Is certainly the
most forceful expression Of the day
for denoting anything small, mean and
contemplate in ones own sight. Its
origin is thus explained by Philadel-
phia lawyer, who sometimes practices
in New York:
There is warrant law in New
York under which a person having no
visible means Of support may be plac-
ed In durance. 1t has also been de-
cided in that State that person hav-
ing so small a sum as thirty cents In
his possession has visible means of
support Now there is no law in New.
York except the yagrant law under
which pool sellers and gamblers may
be held. Shortly after the decision just
mentioned was formulated two gam
blers were captured in raid and tax
en- to the Tenderloin station house.
They sent for a lawyer, who came and
had a talk with them. 1t will never
do to make any show Of money here
he said. Give me your rolls They
handed their wads over to him and he
gave each of them a quarter and
nickel, with instructions to produce the
coins when he asked them to do SO in
court.
when their cases were called the
lawyer got them off on the plea that
they were not vagrants, each having
the legal amount of funds in his pos
session. Just as the decision was rem
dered in favor of his clients a messen-
ger entered the court and required the
lawyers presence at the Supreme
Court He left without seeing his eli
ents, and they wended their way to the
nearest saloon.
"How do you feel?" said one.
"T feel like thirty CENTS said the
other, and probably will until get my
roll back, or what's left of IT.
"And that's how that phrase was
started In its travels. New York

NEW WAY TO KILL SNAKES.
Squirrels Have Devised a Method Of
Getting the Best of an Enemy.

Squirrels Have Devised a Method Of
Getting the Best of an Enemy.
A new condition of animal life has
developed on Indian Island, in the
State of Maine. AS the Indians who
inhabit the island never kill anything
they do not eat, and as they eat
neither squirrels nor snakes, both Of
these species have multiplied greatly
Of late years, and they have become as
common as grasshoppers and as un-
afraid of man.
1t came about in this way: The natu-
raj food Of the large striped snake con-
sists of insects with now and then
plump frog or a toad for holiday
feast. AS the Indians do not kill
snakes-unless they are very hungry
! the reptiles increased so fast on the
island that all the frogs and toads and
most Of the insects were exterminated,
compelling the snakes to eat chipmunks
or starve.
They chose the chipmunks. Though
these small squirrels are found all over
the island, they are most plentiful In
the little cemetery at the south end.
The big striped snakes soon learned
where game was thickest and began to
make raids upon the undefended holes
> Of the squirrels, catching them by the
legs as they passed in and out, swallow
ing them whole as they do frogs.
For five or six years the struggle for
mastery between the chipmunks and
the snakes was hard one.
The ratio between the two was decid-
edly In favor of the snakes, and the
chipmunks were in fair way to be
wiped out, when an inventive squirrel
discovered way of killing the snakes
without fighting them.
While snake will enter any hole in
the ground that is large enough to re-
ceive its body, no snake has yet been
able to dig hole for itself, and when
ever snake is plugged inside Of hole
that snake remains where 1t is until it
dies Of starvation.
Somehow the chipmunks learned this
weak spot In the defense Of snakes
and they began offensive operations.
Every day they went leaping among
the graves and snuffing at the holes to
soon as one was discovered the squirrels
carried earth in their cheek pouches
until the hole containing the snake was
filled with earth and beaten down level
with the grass.
They kept close watch for prying
snakes for two or three years in success
sion, and last summer there was hardly
a large snake to be found on the isl
and, while the chipmunks had increas-
ed so rapidly that they ate up many of
the growing crops upon which the In
dian depended for cash bounties from
the State.
In digging among the graves Of their
ancestors to rid the island from pest
of chipmunks the Indians unearthed
hundreds of dead snakes which had
been buried alive by the squirrels Then
the world was enlightened as to new
way of killing snakes.

moved to Milwaukee, but the inactivi-
ty of city life palled on him and he
decided to found city in the primeval
forest.
He Travelled up the Wisconsin valley
till he reached the place where Toma-
hawk now stands. There he built a
saw mill and a large hotel, with ap-
pointments equal to those found in
large cities He started newspaper,
built and stocked a general store, and
then waited for the population which
he was sure would follow him. As
the timber about his mill was cut
down and shipped to market he built
railroads. adding miles and miles as
he needed them. Everything he touch

height of folly brought him fortunes.
While Tomahawk was still in its in

The Sum Left by the Man She Married

In all probability Mrs. William 81.
Bradley, of Tomahawk, Wis.,, will
come into possession of the 100000
left by her husband, William FL. Brad
ley, pioneer lumberman and the rich
est man in Wisconsin. Three days be-
fore his death he married Miss Marie
Hannemager, who for twenty years
was his private secretary and who
knows more than any other person
about his vast estate.
Bradley was as eccentric as he was
wealthy. He was native Of Bangor,
Me-, where his father. as the son
proved to be, was successful lumber
man. In the early Cos he went to
Wisconsin and entered the lumber
business in n small way. Then he got
in with some Milwaukee capitalists
and began operating near Muskegon,
Mich. This venture was very profit
able. and made him wealthy. He
