If Senator Jas. p. Clark can rake in
n few more fees like the one he was
given week ago, he won suffer by
reason of the fact that his time belongs
TO the state of Arkansas for the next six
years. Senator Clarke was appointed

MORRIS COUNTY CHRONICLE. FRIDAY, MARCH II. 1903

Why Che Chinaman Wears Che.
The Chinese have many customs and
habits of dress that seem strange to
Americans One of these is the man
ner iii which they wear their hair
braided in long snakelike cues down
the back. But the Chinaman's cue is
a very important part of his makeup.
1t not only is d badge of his nationali-
ty but it proclaims him loyal sub
ject of the emperor of the country
whence he comes. The history of the
Chinamans cue is interesting. In 1916
the empire was overrun by the Mant-
choos. and twenty eight years later the
invaders were in possession of the
throne of China. The first emperor of
the Mantchoo dynasty commanded that
the cue be worn as a sign of submits
sion to his authority, and the con
quered Chinese were compelled to
adopt the Mantchoo style. Those who
refused to do so were to be put to
death. Later the death penalty was
withdrawn, and small reward was
given to each person who should adopt
the cue as the emperor commanded
Nearly three centuries of cue wearing
have established the custom so thor
oughly thai the force used at the be-
ginning to compel the Chinaman to
adopt it would now be necessary to
compel him TO abandon it.

HuxIey,s Ideal Church.

The following is Professor HuXley's
definition Of a church given in his
Life and Letters" "a place in which,
week by week, services should be de-
voted not to the iteration of abstract
propositions in theology, but to the set
ting before mems minds of an ideal of
true. just and pure living; a place in
which those who are weary of the bur-
den of daily cares should find mo-
nent's rest in the contemplation of the
higher life which is possible for all,
though attained by so few; place in
which the man of strife and business
should have time to think how small,
after all, are the rewards he covets
compared with pea .e and charity"

What do you think of that? The
school does not exist in fairyland, but
in thu midst of the city of Paris.
Professor Eonnetty is very fond of
eats, and has actually started a school
for them.
His pupils are generally stray cats
that no one wants: he takes them.
keeps them in a large room and feeds
them well.
He does not Immediately begin to
teach them, but watches them to form
some idea of their character.
He feeds them on bread and milk
and liver, and it is surprising to see
how the most miserable, starved look
ing cnt under his good treatment turns
into a beautiful, sleek pussy fit for
any lady's drawing ROOM
These eats are taught to jump
through hoops, over chairs, to climb
over very high poles, to walk the tight
rope, etc. All these lessons are taught
by kindness. Professor Bonnetty
never has to punish his pupils; he
depends OH their affection, and can do
with them what he likes.

cash, pay you much in excess of 3 per
cent, we still would hang on to the land

Some of our most successful feeders
are coming to the conclusion that a
steer may be more economically and
proftably fed by mixing his grain ra-
tion with his roughage, the claim being
made with reason that this manner Of
feeding secures a more thorough and
perfect mastication and assimilation of
the ration. This fact has been brought
prominently forward by the few men
who have fed ration Of silage to their
beef cattle.

A FAREWELL TO YESTERDAY.

Where is the road to Yesterday
Oh, tell in prose or rhyme,
For ! would trace my backward way
To that enchanting climei
Life was so fresh and good and true
And friends so kind and fair,
Why should a day so bright and new
All fade away in air?
Who knows the road to Yesterday
Is every seeker blind?
Say, does it cast no single ray
TO pilot those behind?
Oh, there's road that leads our feet
To hours more glad and bright
A road SO short, Joy complete,
A journey OF night
Come hid farewell to Yesterday,
For in Tomorrow's face
The happiest days now flown away
Shine with sweeter grace.

A velv common mistake in the plant.

A very common mistake in the plant
ing of groves of timber around the
prairie farm homestead is to have the
belt of timber too narrow and too near
the premises. In such case it operates
to catch the drifting SHOWS and becomes
almost nuisance. This might be EN-
tirely prevented by planting another
row or two of trees out away from the
grove at distance of fifteen or twenty
rods.

AN UNKNOWN cENTENAR1AN.
New Grenada Semf-spnndard Who Claimed to Have Lived 1SA
 Years in 1878.


 The interest in centenarians is al- ways great, and, indeed, to some peo- pie fascinating. As recently as 1878 8 certain Michael Soils. of semi Span ish origin, resided in Bogoto, Colon- bia, and was alleged to be 1s4 years old. La Epoca, a new Granada jour- nal, wrote at the time of one Miguel Lollo, whom we take to be identical with Michael Soils: '.The signature of this venerable anciano (ancient) is affixed to a deed relating to the foundation of a convent, and is dated 1712. Dr. Hernandez, who had heard about this Miguel Lollo, was desir- ous of making his acquaintance, and found him busy gardening. His skin is like parchment and his hair as white as snow" It initiates against the genuineness of Michael Soils that during the last 60 years or so pre-. vious to what we may describe as his discovery no one had ever seen or heard of him, says the London Ian. cet. He is apparently unknown tc such well-known writers on centenar. ians as Easton, of Salisbury, and Sharon Turner.

 THE TITLES OF MAYORS.
Proper Form of Addressing Muni- cipSl Heads In Leading Eng-
 lish Cdtfes.

When, asks the London correspond- ent of the Manchester Guardian, is a mayor entitled to the prefix right worshipful?" The question is not a purely academic one, says the London Telegraph, as I have seen the fright worshipful the mayor of St. Pancras" in print lately. The mayors of Lon don boroughs, following the example of those in the country, are generally content to bestyled '.worshipful" The lord mayors who have arisen in the last ten years at Manchester, Liverpool Leeds, Birming ham, Sheffield and Bris- tol copy the precedents of London and York, and are right honorable 7 Strictly, believe, the mayors of some ancient cities such Exeter, Cheste and Eorwich-are by custom styled fright worshipful." Bristol was one of these cities till the creation of it's lord may orally three years ago.

neighboring street. This gave him some thing of foreign air and seemed to wipe off the reproach of his past years.
 At length on the Saturday afternoon, he betook himself to the box office of the theater in the Rue Richelieu. No sooner had he mentioned his name than the clerk produced the order in an en- velope of which the address was scarce ly dry.
 "It has been taken this moment" said the clerk.
 Ind eedv said Francis May I ask what ahe gentleman was like?"
 "Your friend is easy to describe" re- piled the official He is old and strong and beautiful, with white hair and a saber cut across his face. You cannot fail to recognize so marked person."
 No, indeed" returned Francis, land I thank you for your politeness."
 ''He cannot yet be far distant" add ed the clerk. If you make haste, you might still overtake him."
 Francis did not wait to be twice told. He ran precipitately from the theater into the middle of the street and looked in all directions. More than one white haired man was within sight; but, though he overlook each of them in succession, all wanted the saber cut For nearly half an hour he tried one street after another ip the neighbor hood until at length, recognizing the folly of continual search, he started on a walk to compose his agitated feel ings, for this proximity of an encounter T~s L. In4 he owed the day had profoundly moved the young man.
 It. chaneed that his way led up the Rue Drouot and thence up the Rue des Martyrs, and chance in this case served him better than all the forethought in the world, for on the outer boulevard he saw two men in earnest colloduy upon seat. One was dark, young and handsome, secularly dressed, but with an indelible clerical stamp. The other answered in every particular to the description given him by the clerk. Francis felt his heart beat high in his bosom. He knew he was now about to hear the voice of his father, and, mak- ing q wide circuit, he noiselessly took his place behind the couple in question, who were too much interested in their talk to observe much else. As Francis had expected, the conversation was conducted in the English language
 "Your suspicious begin to annoy me, Rolles,'' said the old man. II tell you am doing my utmost. A man cannot lay his hand on millions in a moment. Have not taken you up, mere stran- ger, out of pure good will! Are you not living largely on my bounty" | "On your advances, Mir. Vandeleur,' ,'' | corrected the other.
 Advances, if you choose, and inter- est instead of good will, if you prefer it, returned Vandeleur angrily. T am not here to pick expressions. Business is business. and your business, let me lqremind you, is too muddy for such airs. l Trust me or leave me alone and find some one else, but let us have an end, for Gods sake of your jeremiads | rcoNrINUED.l

But I must ask you to remember that for me the situation was new one, and was entirely un- acquainted with the etiquette in use I believe without vanity that l could have married or baptized you in very acceptable manner, but every man has his own aptitudes, and this sort of bar gain was not among the list of my &C., complishments."
 q do not wish to fiatter you," replied Vandeleur, "but, upon my word, you have an unusual disposition for q life of crime.

"locoed" or, in ordinary language, has become insane.
 "Pete's" brain has become affected just as the brain of 3 human being is impaired. He raves at times, if snorting and wild neighing can be compared to the hysteria of insan- ity, and frequently becomes vio- lent and almost uncomfortable. Up to a short time ago Pete" was one of the splendid black team that drew the patrol from the central station. One day in response to 8 box call, however, he raced down the street and could not be stopped when the destination was reached. i
 When he was finally got back to his stall he became violent, and after wrecking the stable proceeded to smash up the interior of the patrol room He knocked over the patrol wagon, kicked down the stove, and then rammed his head against the wall until he was exhausted After securely tying the crazy beast, the police notified the dealer who sold him to the department and he agreed to remove him and furnish a new horse in "Black Pete's" place. It is said "locoed" horses never recover, but the dealer hopes to bring "Pete" back again to his senses.
