dered back.
"What did you do?" asked his COM
panion.
II waited until the officer had passed
on and then proceeded to where the

The monument to mark this sacred
spot, says Leslie's Weekly, has been
designed by the Hughes Granite e. Mar
bic company. of Clyde, o.. whose plant
is within eight miles of the Oak Wood
cemetery, at Fremont, where lies the
dust of President Hayes. The monu-
ment is cylindrical shaft, 81 feet six
inches high, surmounted by granite
eagle on granite ball. Upon cor
ner of the die rests an allegorical fig
ure of "Peace and Bereavement" hold
inga palm branch. Two bas-relief por-
traits of Mckinley, one. representing
him at the time he entered the army
and the other just before his untime-
~ death at Buffalo, appear on the die.
On the face of the lower die will he a
bronze battle scene representing the
central idea of the whole scheme by
showing Mckinley, the soldier boy,
serving hot coffee to his comrades un-
der arms. The Ohio legislature has
appropriated nearly $4,000 for the ten
monuments, ofwhich $1,000 is especial
~ appropriated for the Mckinley mon
ulpent. The purpose is to have it the
finest monument on the battlefield.

ait1nx the Ringer xaIl..

Watch that baby does not get this
habit. The annoying habit of nail
biting, common among children, is Gu
rable in its earlier stages without re-
sorting to the trick of rubbing the
finger tips with bitter stuffs. Mani
cure the child's nails carefully, and see
thattherearen no hangnails. Cutrather
deeply into the corners, and file the
nails short. Children often bite their
nails because they are not quite COM
Portable. A ragged edge on one nail
is bitten to make il. smooth, and the
foundation of the habit is laid. If the
little fingers were cared for regularly
from babyhood few children would
adopt the disagreeable practice.

TOOK HIS OWN LIFE.
Gen. Macdonald, Commander OF the
British Forces In Ceylon, Co,n-
mlts Suicide In Parts.

London, March e6.-The Evening
News announces that Maj. Gen. Sir
Hector Macdonald, commanding the
British forces in Ceylon, against whom
charges based on immoral acts were
filed some time ago, committed suicide
by shooting in q hotel in Paris.
Gen. Macdonald was regarded as one
of Britian's great soldiers. He rose
from the ranks in the Gordon highland
ers to his present position and the serv-
ice list shows no more honorable war
record than that of Macdonald, while
few officers possess more hard-won
decorations. He was extremely popu-
lar in the army and in civil life.

Ivory for Piano Keys.

The consumption Of ivory for the
keys of American-made pianos is grow
ing rapidly. Purchases on American
account have been on an unusually
large scale, and so eager have buyers
been to secure desirable parcels that
prices have been run up in startling
fashion. Almost the whole Of the ivory
bought on American accounts is used
for piano-forte keys, and as the waste
material is not required by Yankee
manufacturers it is reshipped to Eu-
rope and utilized by Sheffield and
solingen cutters as scales for pen
knives.

story Of a strange Passport.

The passport regulations OF Russia
are absurd, as was shown by journal
list. Prince Metchersky, who was sent
by the car to make Investigations.
He crossed to Rumania, and purposely
obtained permit to take live stock
over the border. At the Russian
frontier the official could read no Ru-
manian and little Russian, but he was
impressed by the official paper, and let
the prince pass. When Prince Metcher-
sky returned to Moscow, he presented
the document to the governor. "This
is my passport" he said. Il travelled
for five months in Russia on the au-
,thority of this document, but the
identification is neither flattering nor
true" The governor took the paper,
and found the prince there described
as "black sow, full grown, with one
ear partly torn away"

Use OF PHOTOGRAPHS.


ut would seem that il anything ON
earth belonged to man it h his
physiognomy, and the right to Its re-
production by Photographic process0 or
otherwise, remarked member OF the
District bar to a Washington Star
man. "Yet the difficulty that some OF
our prominent statesmen and leading
public characters have In the attempt
to remove, by legal proceedings, their
facial representations from advertise
ments of brands of cigars and liquors,
and on the part of several ladies to
prevent -four dealers and other ven
doris of merchandise from reproducing
their pretty faces on the labels OF
goods would lead TO . different con-
clusion.
"It also appears odd that while the
law jealousy guards persons good
name, or the use Of his or her name
in any respect, and bestows damages
and infiicts punishment upon the Of
fender, a photograph is seized upon
by anybody and used without regard
to the owners feelings or rights, un-
less it be copyrighted, and often the
copyright is ruthlessly violated.
"While there have been some deci-
sions, it is to be hoped that fixed.
legal precedent may become firmly es,
tablished which will insure to the high
est as well as the humblest citizen
the right to place q legal embargo upon
the practice of the promiscuous use
of his features by another, but IT
would appear that it is rather hard
when one is obliged to go to the ex-
pensive process Of the courts to en-
force a right which ought to be en-
forced by mere verbal or written pro-
test; and this right should be extend
| cd to the heirs of a deceased person.
"The practice mainly arose from the
free use of the photographs of &C.
tors and actresses. It is to the inter-
est Of the members of the theatrical
profession to keep their features be-
fore the public as much. as possible,
and they encourage the practice rath-
er than frown upon it. But to take
the features of beautiful society
woman, or a lady in private life, and
use them on label of merchandise.
even without her accompanying name.
or the features of deceased public
man, is personal insult and little
short of grievous outrage.
Manufacturers Of all kinds Of
merchandise and articles, Us is appar-
ent from bill posters and other
placard advertisements, use, without
compunction or consent, the features
of men and women, and often their
names, to bring goods to the attention
Of the public. The offensive side OF
taking mans face and using it, either
alone or with the features of other
men, smiling in appreciation Of the
flavor Of brand of cigars, wines or
liquors, is so great that 1t need not
be adverted to, while 1t must be real
cruelty to the family of q person de-
ceased to see the features of their
loved ones thus publicly displayed to
the profit of strangers"

Lack Of lntarast

DIR. r. c. Kelsey, of White Rock, s.
D., secretary of the Tri-state Drainage
Association, calls attention to the lack
of interest shown by the people OF
the valley in the prosecution of the
work. For two or three years several
meetings were held at different points
and much enthusiasm worked up. Sec
rotary Hitchcock set aside $4,000 to
provide for an official investigation OF
the conditions in the valley to see
what is necessary to be done to pre-
vent the annual floods:
So far no effort has been made to
prosecute the work and the doctor
wants the matter stirred up again sc
report can be made before the next
congress, when-a bill will be intro.
duced for the benefit of the Red River
valley settlers.

HemIan Fly,

Professor Waldron, of the North Da-

Wakh county investigating the Hes

the pests have wintered well and are

be immune, but it will require early
burning or blowing of stubble lands
this spring to eradicate the pests.
They were found last year in several
sections of the state, though 10 seri-
Gus damage was done.

Cannot succeed.

The failure of the alleged Ignite
trust to secure control of the mines OF
this state was no surprise to the bust
ness men. The plan was q gigantic
one and would have meant big thing
for the promoters. The fact that
there are many places in the state
where the Ignite crops out on the
slopes and can be mined without ma
chinery, and that in other states it is
SO close to the top of the ground tina,
farmers make easy money hauling
into town during the winter months
was rather discouraging to the trust
people. The entire western and
northwestern part of the state seems
to be underlaid with the coal, and the
supply is so unlimited that trust
measures will not be success.
