THEY RECOGNIZED THE NOTES OF
"OLD HUNDRED"

senger was actually the one that had
been reared on his own house at home.
When it returned to Norway and sought
out it's familiar resting place the flu:-
tering paper which it carried soon at
tracted the attention of Conrad's
mother. Her Joy on reading the mes
sage. and learning that her son was still
alive, may we'll be conceived. With the
paper in her hand the old dame ran down
the street, calling on all her good friends
to hear the news. Not only was her Con-
rad alive, but many another mothers son
from that town. and it was a thankful
gathering that assembled in the pas
tors house and gave thanks to God for
these wonderful tidings.
To cut a long story short, an expedi-
ton was shortly afterward sent out to
rescue the captives from their slavery.
This was accomplished, though not
without difficulty, and the long lost ones
returned to their own land.
When, in later years Conrad Jonas
sen became wealthy and was honored as
the leading citizen of his native place, q
stork was taken as the towns emblem.
The figure of stork was placed upon
the church and on the roofs of the prin-
opal buildings And so the story Of
Conrad Jonassen's marvellous release
from captivity has been perpetuated for
the wonderment of succeeding genera

Plus CLINICS TO OLD WATCH
pope Declares He will Never Part
with Timepiece, Presented by
His Mother. =

The story of the watch which Pope
Plus carries is we'll worth telling, says
the Springfield Republican. One Of the
cardinals was at the vatican recently,
and while talking Pope Plus took his
watch from his pocket to see what
time it was. The cardinal noticed that
the timepiece was cheap nickel at
fair with an old shoe-string attached
to, it in place of a chain. The cardinal
d1ew his own costly chronometer from
his pocket and asked the pope to take
it as a gift, and give him the nickel
one. Then the pope's face lit up with
one of those smiles which, If one has
been fortunate enough to see, can
never be forgotten, and said that the
old watch was quite good enough for
him. He added that it was given to
him when a lad by his mother, who
saved up her hard-earned coppers until
she could buy it, but there was no
money left for the chain. One Of his
sisters gave him the shoe-string fol
that, and he was so pleased with his
gift that he promised his mother he
would carry it as long as it kept time
The pope has never had another
watch, and says that he never will.

THE HYMN AND HIM.

ION Jordan's stormy banks" she sang;
He cast>a wistful aye.
Her voice in joyous accents rang,
He heaved a longing sigh.
Her face was beautiful to see
Beneath her bonnet's brim;
He thought Of her alone, but she
Though Of the hymn and him.
From Greenland's icy mountains'-this
She sang and slightly frowned;
His meaning glance had seemed an1ss.
In sorrow he was drowned;
But then ito midas coral strand"
The syllables she formed
With all the grace at her command.
And then his heart was warmed.
Poor man! he had no book from which
To sing, and SO the maid
Discreetly then began to hitch
The volume to his aid.
He thanked her with another glance
And then took up the tune;
Her eyes from hymn to him would dance
They were acquainted soon.

AS notes from dulcimers:
Their fingers then began to meet
And his hand closed on hers.
Full soon they walked adown the aisle,
The church was hushed and dim
Hers was q brides delighted smile.
Thanks to the hymn and him.

THE THREE WISHES.

Should a good fairy come this way
And give me wishes three,
I would not have to stop and think,
I know just what they'd be.
I'd wish there wasn't any school,
So could always play
out in the yard and fields and woods \
All day and every day.
I'd have a baby sister, too.
With shiny yellow curls,
For there Is nothing quite so nice
AS little baby girls.
Then every day would have Jane
Make flaky tarts for me,
And little cakes, and then I'd wish
But, oh dear, that makes three:

QUEER KIND OF GHOST.
Thrilling Experience Of Boy Who
Had q New Pair Of Brown
Jeans Pants.

Boys didn't dress as swell in my day
as they do now, nor girls either for that
matter" commented Uncle Ben, relates
the Brooklyn Eagle, as his eyes fol-
lowed q handsomely attired young
couple, just passing along the avenue.
In my day the boy that could wear .
well-made jeans suit was envied a.
plenty, even If he didn't have but .
single gallus to hold his breeches up.
And that reminds me Of a mighty thrill
ing experience had once when boy.
my folks lived out about three miles
from town and whenever any little thing
was wanted they sent me after it.
There was lonely stretch Of country
between home and town, big stretches
Of level ground, with nothing but trees
in sight for about two-thirds Of the
way, and the stiffness and loneliness OF
it always made me step lively, though
I was not naturally given to being
scared.
Zone day I started of for something.

jeans trousers. didn't notice anything
unusual until got out in the very heart
Of the loneliest part Of the lonely Jour-
'ney, when all at once I heard some
thing behind me swish-swish. It sounded
just like imagined ghost might walk.
and began to feel my hair getting un-
easy. stepped livelier and the ghost
ly swish-swish behind me became live
lier, too. It just kept pace with mo ~
regular a. clockwork and then broke
into q run, tearing along the lonely
road as fast as my young legs would
carry me.
''well, sir, it didn't have a bit of
effect, except to make tho swish-swish
go faster. No matter how fast my ny-
ing feet hit the ground, the ghostly
sound behind kept pace with it. BY this
time you can bet was about the worst
frightened boy you ever saw.
"Well, the race kept up until ran
out of breath and was about to drop
from fatigue and fright; then I deter

cost me my life. CHANGING back hastily,

for some little time; then started on

I started than the swish-swish followed.
I walked fast and the swish-swish be-
came fast. ran and It ran, too.
"You can imagine that it gave me .
mighty uncanny feeling to hear that
thing and not be able to see it, and
was about the worst upset youngster you
ever saw, but finally I discovered the
source Of the sound. and what do you
suppose it was?"
II can't even guess"
why, It was those stiff jean pants

Eleanor, with SILVER.
That evening Phillip La Grange took

TRAITS OF THE AZTEcs.
Indians Of Old Race Were Great Sol.
diers and Expert Cultiva-
tors Of the Soil.

The Aztecs Of old were not only great
soldiers, but also diligent cultivators Of
the soil, and had acquired considerable
proficiency in agriculture although they
had no horses. oxen or other animals
of draught To this day, says the South
ern Workman, the men earn their liv-
ing chiefly az day laborers in the fields
now owned by the Mexfcans. The staple
product now as of yore is the maize.
and next to it the maguey or agave. the
sweet sap of which is the principal
material for the famous Mexican pulque.
Some species are cultivated as vegeta-
bles, others for the sake Of their leaves.
which yield a strong fiber that can be
woven into fabrics. Hence the saying
that the agave supplies the people with
drink, food and clothing. The men have
little ambition to excel in handicraft.
Farriery and carpentry are about the
only trades they care to take up. In
the cities they work as porters, carriers
or peddlers. In. a small way.
Like all southern Indians their COM
plexion is of a ruddy chocolate tr"~n.
and they are not particularly good look
ing. Most of the women now have large
hands and feet, probably the Inheritance
Of generations Of hard workers. And
they are strong. In the warehouse OF
q wine merchant an Aztec porter was
seen to take . cask Of claret on his back
and carry it quite distance. The load
certainly weighed not less than 4W
pounds, and no white man would have
thought of lifting 1t. The law requires
the people in the cities to forsake the
Indian breechcloth and poncho, and
assume the regulation earb Of the poor
working class Of Aexicoctha wide. looee

jacket to match-but the breechcloth
is worn outside of the trousers and
thereby replaces the civilized suspend

ANIMATED PAPER SERPENT.
A Very Pretty Heat Illusion and More
Effective Than Some That Are
More Elaborate.

The animated serpent is one OF the
best Of heat illusions, being great deal
more effective than many more elab-
crate. The serpent appears to be tire
less and automatic, for, though 1t has no
visible means Of motion, yet 1t keeps
whirling for hours without stop-that
is, If you wish to burn that much gas or
consume a few pounds of candles.
According to the Chicago Inter Ocean,
the serpent is made by drawing a spiral
like Fig. upon piece Of stiff bristol
Williston graphic. (Williston, Williams County, N.D.) 1895-1919, 1904-12-08

board. Cut the spiral out with sharp
penknife, so that when you take hold
of the terminal portion, which repre-
sents tail, you get spiral OF paper
with its lower end in the form of q
serpent's head. Stick pin through the
end of the tail and hold the serpent over
q lighted candle or gas jet, sufficiently
high SO that there is no fear of the SER
pent's burning up, but also low enough
for it to be Influenced by the draught
which ascends from the fame.
The pin may be stuck in wooden sup
port over the fame and then the serpent
will keep ever on the move.
But what maks it go?
The flame of the candle or gas jet Is
In constant need of air to keep it burn
ing. The air circles around the flame
on all sides. One portion Of it (oxygen)
is instantly taken into the fame, and
the rest Of it (nitrogen) ascends in the
direction of the arrows Gig. y, ming
ling with the heated air (carbonic acid,
etc. which issues from the end Of the
fame. Now, you probably know that
hot air is lighter th"n cold air. so that
Is the reason it rises in an attempt to find
its own level, just as cork floats to the
waters surface from the bottom.
A stream of air, therefore, plays
against the paper serpent; and striking
its slanting sides, gives it twist which
sets it whirling around, and, also puz-
zles the onlookers, who will always be
mystified concerning the source of it's
hidden power until you see fit to ex-
plain.
