At a little dinner the other night the
statement was made that the colored
race had longer memories than white
folk. Mark Twain, who was present,
agreed with the remark, and to prove 1t
told the following: ...-.-
Some years ago, when south, I met
an old colored man who claimed to have
known George Washington. | asked
him If he was In the boat when Gen.
Washington crossed the Delaware, and
he instantly replied: Lor', massa, l
steered dat boat Well said l, do you
remember when George took the hack
at the cherry tree?' He looked worried
for a minute, and then, with beaming
smile, said: Why. suah, massa, drove
that hack mahself.' IN. Y. Herald.

Ameline, fade, Insignificant and pee
wish, the owner of much wealth, and
the young girl with the glow Of noun
| tain color and eyes like the stars of
night, whom he had met in the cabinet
makers little shop down the road!
She looked at him with severe candor
from those amber hazel eyes. with dark
lashes, in whose depths Godfrey
thought he could discern strange pos
| sibilities.
Godfrey seemed to have photo
graphed on his mental retlna every
movement of the graceful girlish fig
ure, the sheen of the bronze brown
hair, the marble whiteness of throat
and brow. the whiteness of northern
races, and the SHOWS of the unbroken
plains.
What a beautiful creature" he
thought; zone would take her for a
full-hedged aristocrat"
Godfrey smoked long and thought
fully; he spent over an hour in Hen
bricks shop, discussing models and
woods, for he was deeply interested in
his projected gift to his Aunt Sophia.
Yolande, who was off on fishing
expedition with Ben, was too en-
crossed in catching speckled trout tr
remember the good-looking strange
Of the day before, and was quite taken
aback on turning an abrupt bend in
the road, while hurrying home, to come
face to face with him.
why, you have been out fishing"
was Godfrey's idiotic remark, made
with beaming smile; 1t was certain
ly entirely useless, considering that the
basket Of fish Ben was carrying, and
her rod made the fact obvious.
Eyes, down beyond the falls, it is a
good place right on the rocks. We
caught seven" Yolande said with sim
pie graciousness. r, rs
Il came up to the mountain on pur-.
pose to do some fishing, would you
mind showing me where you caught
these beauties? Will you go with me
tomorrow? l am to be at Mr.. Hem
drick's place at ten; will YOU join me
there?" Godfrey asked eagerly.
Perhaps So" Yolande answered,
IF l am not there I'll send Ben, he
will show YOU"
Ben scowled unwillingly.
Saying that she was late and must
hurry, Yolande went rapidly off down
the road, and Godfrey heard her chat
ting gayly with Ben as they trudged
along.
There was music and dancing at the
hotel that evening, and Mrs. Jim
Peyton made herself very agreeable,
and laughingly predlcted his capture
by the heress, Ameline Carter.
"Now remember | am to be of your
house party when yoa entertain at the
castle; l hear that it is glorious
place." Mrs. Peyton said gayly, when
she left him.
The band was playing a serenade,
and from the piazza where he sat Cod
frey could see the moon rising in splen-
dor over the distant peaks of the noun
tains. The peaceful beauty of the vast
solitudes was appealing, and Godfrey
was strangely moved.
Her nature must be as perfect as her
face" he thought, as the light flooded
the valley-which remark did not ap-
ply to Ameline:-N. o. TimesDemo-

THE ROAD LEADS HOME.


oh. pilgrim, as you journey, do you ever
gladly say,
In spite of heavy burdens and the rough
ness OF the way,
That II does not surely MATERIAL the
strange and bitter stress,
Heat and cold, and toll and sorrow
twill be healed with blessedness,
For the road leads home?
Home! the safe and blisstul shelter where
is glad and full content
And companionshp of kindred; and the
treasures early rent
From your holding shall be given back
more precious tlan before
Oh, you will not mind the journey with
such blessednCss in store,
When the road leads home
Oh, you will not mind the roughness nor
the steepncss Of the way.
Nor the chill, unrested morning, nor the
dreariness of the day:
And you will not take a turning to the
left or to the right
But go straight ahead, nor tremble at the
coming of the night,
For the road leads home.
And often for your comfort you will read
the guide and chart.
1t has wisdom for the mind and sweet
solace for the heart:
It will serve you as a mentor, 1t will
guide you sure and straight
All the time that you will journey, be the
ending soon or late
And the road leads home.

WHO IS MORE cULLIBLE7
The City Man Is Not Bit Behind His
Country Cousin in This
Respect.

as the man of the country more guilt
BILE than the man of the city," asked
an observant man, in the New Orleans
Times-Democrat. There is a suspicion
that an answer in the affirmative would
fit the case. Yet, 1t may not be so.
An interesting experiment has recently
been made, according to a story that
comes out of New York, and the result
seems to have been little disastrous.
According to the story this attempt to
prove that the residents of the country
districts are more gullible than those
of the city has nearly resulted in Jail
sentence for college student employed
as a street car conductor in Brooklyn.
He is said to be member of we'll
known family in Maine, and was q
student at Brown university in the class
of '06.
Financial reverses sustained by the
family compelled him to seek work in
the city, and he became conductor not
long ago. In July friend of the con-
ductor residing In Maine received a
letter Offering to sell him, at low rates,
counterfeit money made In Mexico.
The Maine man turned the letter over
to the secret service officials and the
conductor soon after was arrested. He
was indicted and has been in Jail since
July. The prisoner explained that the
letter was only joke and an expert
ment in sociology, finally giving the
district attorney his true name, which
he formerly had concealed. Investiga-
tion proved the story to be true, and
when the case came before Federal
Judge Holt the district attorney ex-
planned. The judge ordered the joker's
plea of not guilty to be withdrawn
entered one of guilty and then suspend
ed sentence. He warned the student of
sociology, however, to be more careful
In his future experiments.
But this does not by any means SET
tie the important question, and despite
the common belief in the gullibility OF
the man from the country now and then
we run across happening which shows
he has an element of shrewdness which
will often put the city man to hard
test of his wits"

RULES FOR YOUNG LADIES.
Restrictions Placed Upon the Com

r Century Ago.

you are expected to be polite in
your manners, neat in your person and
room, careful of your books and
clothes, attentive to economy in all
your expenses" read one Of the rules
of the Female academy, conducted by
Miss Sarah Pierce from 1892 to 1888.
In Chronicles of a Pioneer School"
other rules are given as follows:
"You are requested not only to exer-
else in the morning but also in the
evening sufficiently for the preserva-
tion of health. E%
"Talebearing and scandal are odious
vices and must be avoided; neither
must you flatter your companions by
any remarks on their beauty, dress or
any accomplishment, in order to in
crease their vanity, and let every one
thus fattered remember that such
compliments are an insult offered to
the understanding
"You must not write careless note,
or any careless writing. You must
write a composition, once in fort
night, of 200 words. You must write
at least 80 good lines in week.
you must come in or go out of the
school in a quiet, genteel manner; you
must not talk or laugh loud in the
street. s % # H # Z
You must not wear your party
dresses, or any handsome lace, neither
your best hats or shawls to school, .
you must not walk for pleasure
after nine o'clock in the evening. A
reward will be given to those who do
not waste any money, books, clothes,
paper or quills, during the term; to
those who have their duties performed
at the proper time; to those who have
not been peevish, 7honesick or impo-
lite to those who always attend meet
ing or church; to those who never
write carelessly."
Miss Pierce is described as possess
ing a rare faculty for impressing her
scholars, and It is said by her histo-
rian that the young ladies who were
graduated from her school were con-

By Wire and Air.

An accidental experiment in the veloc-

spondent. He went to his telephone,
and just as he put the receiver to his
ear he heard the click of another tele-
phone. Another receiver had been re-
moved and the line was open. Then he
heard through the telephone the shrek
of locomotive whistle, and few sec
onds later the sound came through the
open window in the usual way. Looking
up, he saw a locomotive half mile
away, passing the house of friend.
The mystery was solved The telephone
that was open was that at the distant
house, and the sound of the whistle had
come through Its transformation into an

ARE OF IDENTICAL ORIGIN.
Whale and Lion Said to Have Sprung
from One and the Same
Source.

AS everyone knows, or ought to
know, the whale is not a fish. but
mammal, and biologists have long pom
dered about its family tree, says a
scientific paper. In Eocene times the
ancestors of mammals were beginning
to take shape somewhat like those OF
to-day and to lose the grotesquesness
inherited from their reptilian progen,
itors. To be sure, animals were very
different from those of to-day. Horses
were no larger than dogs and had
five toes. while cattlelike tinoceras,
twice the size of an OK, with six horns
tusk-like teeth and five toes, cropped
the heritage of Wyoming. Along with
these peculiar plant feeders there
dwelt some very primitive flesh eat
ers, to which Prof. Cape gave the
name of creadonta.
The scene shifts to modern times.
Prof. Fraas, of Stuttgart, Germany. is
delving in the rocks near Cairo, Egypt
He is getting out huge jaw bones that
have been petrified The jaw bones
are those of whales and the rocks near
Cairo were, in Eocene times, the sea-
shore. The professor has studied his
whale jaws and compared their teeth
with other fossil teeth. Now, he tells
us in a recent Abhandlungen that
these teeth of ancient whales are like
those of the ancient carniverous
creodonts. From this he argues that
In Eocene or earlier times some prim-
tive flesh eater took to an aquatic
life. From these old times to the pres
ent whales have been becoming more
flshlike,
II Is hard to believe that the raven
Gus lion and inoffensive and toothless
whale Of to-day had common an
cestor yet they both have the same
tastes for blood, only the whale swal-
lows his food whole.

writes timely word. She says:
"Idid not get proper care at the frsi

teen years I suffered as a result. I had
dizzy spells, felt a constant fear that
something dreadful was about to happen
and was afraid to go out. alone. My
breathing was very short and had pal.
pitation of the heart SO badly that ]
could not go up stairs nor walk even
moderately fast. I was so nervous that
I could not 3it still. At different times
for years I was under the care Of the
best physicians in Detroit and I tried
number of advertised medicines. Moth.
ing helped me until, on the advice Of q
neighbor, I tried DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. I felt relieved before
the first box was finished and I kept on
taking them until I was cured.
"Last winter my little girl had rheu-
matism and I gave her DR.. Williams Pink
Pills and she got well right away. My
niece was thought to be going into con-
sumption and, upon my advice, she tried
the pills. They cured her cough and she
is now well and strong. My entire fam.
