General Andrew Jackson's statue In
Lafayette square, Washington, is the
oldest equestrian statue now standing
in the United States.
The first equestrian statue erected
in the New World, which still stands,
is a colossal statue of Charles Nv. Of
Spain, in the city of Mexico.
The sixteen thousand monastlc es-
Establishments of France have about
four hundred thousand inmates, or one
to every one hundred Of the popula-
ton.
The Washington Elm at Cambridge
is now old and feeble. A plain tablet
near the trunk bears the following In
scription by Longfellow: Under this
tree Washington first took command
Of the American army, July 3, 1775."
In central England there is broad
region among the mining and manu-
featuring districts which lies more or
less continuously under pail Of
smoke, and where an area Of land,
estimated to cover fourteen thousand
acres, Is buried with ash heaps and
refuse, on which little grass grows.

South American cities have many
equestrian statues, but the most nota-
BILE is that of Bolivar, the Venezuelan
liberator, which has prominent place
in one of the parks of Caracas. 1t is
estimated that there are almost four

world. At present Washington has
eight, or one-fftieth of the entire num-

A most interesting memorial of the
Roman occupation of England has

the Roman province. After an exist
ence of 1900 years the walls of the
station, FIVE feet thick, are in a won
derful state of preservation. The gate
ways are noble specimens Of Roman
work. Some of the wedge-shaped
stones in the arches are still to be
seen on the ground. The interior Of
the camp is marked with lines of
streets and the ruins of buildings.

walls, admired them even, secretly but
not enviously, wondered at their cost, and
looked once more in the direction of the
lady, whose pensive face and quiet grace
he admired also, and at whose presence
he wondered in a greater degree, though
he repressed all exhibition of surprise.
Suddenly the father said, with that sin

man:

NEW GAME APPARATUS.

In the winter season, when outdoor
sports must be abandoned, aside from
skating, tobogganing and kindred
amusements, the search for new games
to occupy the long evenings begins.
1t is in supplying this demand for nov
elites to fill in the winter season that
a number of inventors have found for
tune smiling on them in earnest, and
discovered that some simple game or
puzzle, which came to them perhaps In
an instant, has made them rich. So
1t Is not surprising that a host Of new
amusements makes its appearance ev-
cry year, and that old favorites are
soon displaced with novelties OF a
later date. In the picture we show
a new adaptation of game which
would have been popular many years
ago had 1t not been for the high price
Of the implements with which 1t is
played. 1t Is unnecessary to refer to
the actual cost of the table, cues and
balls which go to make up the pool
and billiard outfit, as these are well
known, but recently substitutes for
these high priced implements have
been introduced at lower cost. The
apparatus here shown does not even
require a special table, but can be
played on the dining table, with the
aid of a cushion of webbing stretched
around the edges by means Of corner
brackets. The pockets for the pool
game consist of pyramidal blocks,
which rest on the table and have each
apex bored out to depth sufficient
to contain the ball. The latter must
be struck with cue and driven up
the inclined surface of the pyramid
with sufficient force to drop It into
the pocket at the top. 1t would seem
that no small degree of skill will be
necessary In order to lodge the ball
in the pocket, neither overshootlng
nor falling short In the attempt.

ONE OF DoWIE's STORIES.
An Old scotchman Who Went Throug
Bankruptcy.


Bankruptcy.
John Alexander Dowie is opposed tC
the bankruptcy laws, which he regards
as dishonest. Mr.. Dowie holds that If
man owes a debt he owes 1t till 1t is
paid, and no law on earth can absolve
him from 1t. In his hotel one after,
noon, during his New York campaign
Mr. Dowie told a reporter a bankrupt.
cy story.
"In Scotland, where come from, -
he said, there used to live an old man
named Fergus MacGregor. Fergus car
ried the bankruptcy law to its logical
conclusion, and proved, unconsciously
its fallacy.
"The old man was a chandler. He
got into difficulties, failed, went
through the bankruptcy court, and was
let off at the rate Of 8 shillings to the
pound. Permission was given him,
that is to say, to liquidate each just
debt of fl by the payment of only 8
shillings.
well, Fergus was happy man
when the order of the court was an
nounced to him. He paid all he owed
at once. He said he saw his way clear
to growing rich. And next morning
he started out to do a little shopping
for his wife.
"He went to the grocer's and bought
potatoes, tea, oatmeal, sugar, eggs, and
so forth, to the extent of E2. At the
end, taking up his parcels, he laid
down 10 shillings in payment.
Fergus, man, this is not right,

CHAPTER LII.

The effect of Reuben Culwick's an
nouncement upon his father was remark
able. The big man rose from his chair
with his two large hands clenched, and
his face of deep purplish hue, and
glared at his son in spcechless wrath.
Then he sank slowly and heavily into his
seat again, and painted for awhile. The
dark coloring left the face, hut the bushy
black brows retained their lower curves
over the eyes, and the mouth was hard
and fixed, until the lips parted slightly to
allow few words to escape.
"And this is the first time you tell me
that you We're in league with your moth

MAYOR HAS LARGE SALARY.
LOndon's Executive Spends More Than

London's Executive Spends More Than
He Receives in Entertaining.
One of the best paid officials in En-
gland is the lord mayor of London.
Nevertheless a poor man cannot af-
ford to accept this office even If he
could get it, for large as the compen-
sation is 1t does not suffice to meet the
outlay required Of this official. At one
time the election of London's lord
mayor took place on the feast of ST.
Simon and st. Jude (OCt. 2S). Then it
was changed to the feast Of the Trans
lation of Edward the Confessor (Oct.
13), but since the year 1916 1t has In
variably taken place on Michaelmas
day, says the London Chronicle. The
lord mayor receives out of the city's
cash 10000, more than twice as much
as was received by Lord Mayor Wilkes
in 1774. But his expenses are usually
much in excess of his allowance.
Wilkes account showed a balance Of
expenditure over receipts of 1887.
Among other curious items of revenue

annual present of plate from the Jews,

NOME VERY RICH IN GOLD.
Value of the Deposits In That Region


Value of the Deposits In That Region
Is Now Fully Established.
1t is not at all surprising to be told
by those familiar with the facts that
the gold output Of Nome this year will
probably equal that of the last two
seasons put together This is what
everybody believed who knew any
thing about the conditions. 1t has
pleased the sensational newspapers to
represent the Nome incident as a mere
feverish excitement, which disappeared
with the vanishing of the supposed fc-
tiOns that began it. 1t pleased the
cities which Seattle has outstripped to
take the cue and to speak of the gold
product of the north as waning. At
these things we can afford to smile.
The record of the Klondike, about
which exactly the same things were
said, is there. The record of Alaska's
gold output is there The record Of
Nome will take care of itself.
This is the first season that there has
been any opportunity whatever to
measure nationally the possibilities of
Nome as a gold producer. The first
summer was one of mad rush by in
experienced people to get into the coun-
try, believing that all they had to do
was to shovel up free gold on the
beach. They tumbled over one another,
impeded or excluded the real miners,
and brought back the stories of dis
appointment and disillusion insepara.
BILE from such an enterprise
Both the first and the second seasons
work was done under inconceivable
difficulties. There was, worst Of all,
the judicial wrangle, the endless ap-
peal to the courts, the tying up of some
of the best properties and the check
upon prospecting and development by
the certainty that the first move must
be a lawsuit. There was the worst
kind of weather, late spring and early
fall, too much Ice and too little water.
The country was bare of those neces.
sary accessories to mining on a gener.
Gus scale-water and fuel. A more un.
favorable condition for producing gold
in large quantities it would be hard to
imagine.
Now for the first time Nome is In
position to show what she can do as a
gold-producer. A strict administration
of justice has held down the unruly
elements and given certainty to titles.
The worthless and the inexperienced
element has largely disappeared from
the country. Capital has gone there in
large quantities. Fuel and water are
to be had in abundance and claims can
now be worked there with the advan.
tages available elsewhere. The first
result is the announcement that the
years output will probably equal the
entire product Of the past.-Seattle

of the few friends | had when | was a
boy, and when you were not rich. But
am detaining you, and am pledged to
reach London tonight. Good by again" ="
When he had reached the door, Simon
Culwick called out his name, and Reu-
ben paused and turned.
II am not deceitful," said the father,
"and may as well tell you that have
made my will, and that you will never
be a penny the better for it. 1t is all left
ALL" he added, away from an unduti-
full SON"
There was a moments pause, and then
Reuben Culwick quilted his fathers pres
ence and closed the door after him. He
went from the room into the corridor. and
thence along its entire length to the din
ing room, where he threw himself into a
chair with so thoughtful a mien that he
was not for the moment aware that the
young lady in gray silk whom he had seen
in the bay window was stepping back
from the big feecy mat at the door, to
allow of his egress. When he saw her,
she put her finger to her lips, and he
repressed an exclamation of surprise.
"Go back" she said, with an excite
ment that astonished him; don't give
up-don't leave him like that-it's your
last chance"
"You have been listening" said Reu-
ben, coldly.
"To every word" was the honest con-
fession; "and you have not said a word
to please him, and much to offend. Why
did you come, If in no better spirit than
this? Go back to him. Tell him how
sorry you are for everything-do some
thing before you go that will leave be-
hind a better impression" she urged
again.
"No, can't go back"
"You are as hard as he is," she cried
"as IL 1t mattered what you said to him
--as If it were not worth a struggle to
regain your position here"
Grasping her wrists, while her hands
covered her face to hide it from his fierce
gaze, Reuben exclaimed in a wondering
tone, "Who are your"
"Only the housekeeper, sir" she said,

wick-and in your place. You should

"The housekeeper-yes-but-"he he
said wonderingly, and without regarding
her strange taunts. 81 was not aware

"Why should you be aware Of anything
about me, you who are as quarrelsome
and strange as your father, and have
kept away so long? There, go home and
think of the best way to bring that old
man to his senses"
"And interfere with your chance" said
Reuben. lightly. He was in better spir-
its already, and the odd manner of this
young lady interested him.

"Mr. Reuben Culwick can believe ex-
actly what he pleases," said the young
lady, spreading out her skirts and max
ing him a very low obeisance, which he
felt bound to return, after which he
would have continued the conversation
had she not darted out of the door and
disappeared.
