Muscle of the Skin,

The muscles of the skin need gym
nastic training that will educate them
to contract vigorously on the slight
est contact with cold. shutting the
blood out of the skin so quickly that
the precious body heat will not be
lost When the skin is cold there is a
'goose-fesh" appearance, due to tho
contraction of the little muscles OF
the skin. The contraction of
these muscles congresses the blood
vessels of the skin and shuts out the
blood; the skin is hardened and thick
ened. and becomes a better noncon-
ductor, maintaining the body tempera-
ture. 1t is by repeated applications
of cold that skin muscles are edu-
Gated to contract rapidly upon ex.
posure for the prevention of colds.

MEANT TO RESCUE NAPOLEON
British Smueger Planned Submarine
Boat for the Purpose,

One of the earliest suggestions of
the submarine was that of British
smuggler. Johnson. who invented a
boat that was to travel under or above
water. With this vessel he proposed
to carry Napoleon from St Helena, but
the emperor died while the boat was
under construction. The adherents of
the emperor promised Johnson $780,
900 on the day the boat was ready to
start and an immense sum If it proved
successful. Some years later Johnson
built a boat with which he expert
mented in the Thames for the British
admiralty. In this connection it may
be mentioned that one OF Napoleon's
marshals. Massena, began life as a
smuggler on large scale and Commo-
dore Thurot of the French navy of
that time obtained his knowledge of
the British coast while in the employ
of smuggler.

RELIC OF BEN FRANKLIN.
Toledo Woman Has Silver Cup Once
Owned by Him.

oWnCo ny
One of the most interesting relics
owned in Toledo is silver cup belong
ing to Mrs. j. Entwistle OF No. $40
Bush street and once the property of
Benjamin Franklin, says the New York
Herald. 1t was made under his sup
ervision in Europe about 140 years
ago, the date, as near as can be as
certained, being the year 1763.
Mrs. Entwistle is the widow of Two
Stickney. son of Mai. Stickney. one of
the first settlers. in whose family the
name of Toledo was first suggested.
The cup is about six inches high
and of solid silver. On it is this in
scription: Legacy by the will of Ben
iamin Franklin to Anthony S. Stick
ney." Anthony S. Stickney was the
father of Maj. Stickney. The cup has
descended from father to son and is
now the property of Mrs. Entwistle.
who has the precious relic in safety
deposit vault in orhe of our local banks.
The workmanship on the cup is very
fine and the wear of two centuries
seems to have made no perceptible diff
ference in its appearance.
fact concerning the naming of To-
ledo was brought to light when the
history of the old cup was looked up.
Many historians say the city was
named Toledo by man named Dan
iels. Records in the Entwistle home
show that Toledo was named by the
Stickneys. The history of Spain was
being studied and when the name To
ledo in Spain was reached Two Stick
ney suggested that the settlement then
called Vistula and Port Lawrence be
named Toledo. as there was no other
Toledo in the United States. From

THE WISH OF THE SMALL BOY.

ernest Dowson in ST. Louis Mirror.)
Before my light goes out forever. if God
should give me choice of graces.
l would not reck Of length of DAYS. nor
crave for things to be;
But cry: One day of the great lost days
one face Of all the faces
Grant me to sec and touch once more
and nothing more TO see.
'F'or. Lord, | WAS free of all thy flowers
but chose the worlds sad roses.
And that is why my feet are torn and
mine eyes are blind with sweat
But at thy terrible judgment seat, when
this my tired life chooses.
j am ready to reap whereof l Sowed and
pay my righteous debt
But. once before the sand is run and the
silver thread is broken.
Give me A grace and east aside the veil
of dolOrOuS years,
Grant me one hour of all mine hours and
let me see for token.
Her pure and pitiful eyes shine out, and
battle her feet with tears"
Her piuful eyes should calm. and her
hair stream down and blind me.
Out Of the sight Of night, and out of the
reach of fear,
And her eyes should be my light whilst
the sun went out behind me
And the ViQls in her voice be the last
sound in mine ear.
Before the running waters fall and my life
be carried under
And thine anger cle2Ve me through az a

limbs are racked asunder.
For the last sad sight of her face and

He promoted one of his clerks and gave
his reasons therefor in exienso. After
reciting the fact that the man promoted
had been diligent and faithful. that he
had not been absent from his work
when his work required his presence,
Mr.. Ware added:
ale has steered no statesmen up
against the commissioner
He has not told the commissioner
ABOUT his pedigree and distinguished rel
atives
He has not told the commissioner how
capable he (Wiggins) is and how deserv-
ing of promotion"
From all this we are led to the con-
ciusion that Virgins is a very remark
able man. The fact Mr. Ware cited
such reasons for promoting him is an
indication that strict attention to bust
ness, the failure TO use political influ-
ence and to shout eternally about ones
family and connections, is a rare trait
in the governmental departments. We
are sure Virgins promotion was de-
served or he never would have. secured
It.
We are also sure that Mr.. Ware is
very glad indeed to be out of Office.
1t is to be hoped that the new pension
commissioner viii conduct the business
of the department on the lines laid
down by Mr.. Ware. If he makes pro-
motions on merit alone, if he turns
down the fraudulent- applications for
pensions, he will make himself very
unpopular in certain circles. but he will
at least serve his country faithfully.

THE cRUM APPOINTMENT.

7 He CASE OF CRUM, the negro the
president seems determined to
force upon the people of South Carolina
as collector of the port at Charleston,
is likely to again occupy some of the
time of the senate. on at least one
other occasion the appointment Of Crum
has been rejected by the confirming
body. But, so sure is the president that
he is right, so determined is he to let
the people of the South understand that
he Will appoint negroes 10 Office as often
as he pleases. Now read what former
Governor Chamberlain of South Caro-
lima a Republican, says about Crum in
a letter to James Bryce, the English
author:
Now. who is CrUm. and what does his
appointment inVOlyc2 l know the man
and his family. Crum has had an educa-
ton which barely qualities him 10 practice
medicine among his own race; no more.
lie does not rank especially high even
there. His personal character is good.
OF business generally he knows nothing.
OF mercantile affairs. he has no expert
once whatever He cannot today keep "A
set OF books of Ordinary merchants ac-
counts. nor can he examine such accounts
or pass upon them"
The presidents sole reason for ap-
pointing CrUm in the first place was
Crum's color. He would never have
named a white man who possessed as
few qualifica tons as Crum to so inn
portant an Office And the only reason
the president is sticking to Crum is
that he cannot bear the thought Of los
ing a fight. Having made up his mind
that Crum should be collector of the
port Of Charleston, President Roosevelt
may be depended upon to stand behind
Crum for long time.
All OF which leads US to wonder why.
if the president believes that the door
OF opportunity should not be closed to
any man because of his color. he does
not appoint negroes to office in the
north. There is no negro collector
north OF the Ohio river. and no negro
in that great section has ever been
thought OF in such a connection. And
yet. if the professions of the people
there are to be believed, there would
be no objection whatever to negro Off
GERS.
The president says he is a friend Of
the south. If this is true he has a
most unusual method of showing his
friendship.

Premature Rejoicing.

Ferdinand Erickson of Mt. Pleasant
has had the unusual experience of
twice receiving certificates of election
to Office after his opponent had cele-
bTated a supposed victory. The first
instance was in 1898. when Mr. Erick-
sen ran for mayor of Mt. Pleasant
against Afghan Johnson. The town be-
ing largely Republican. no doubt was
entertained Of the election of Mr.. John
son. whose friends arranged a grand
barbecue, which was attended by a
large number of the Johnson adher-
ents. Presently the count was complet-
ed and it was discovered that Mr..
Erickson had been elected. A similar
experience came this year. Early re-
turns indicated W. ID. Livingston had
been elected judge of the Seventh dis
trict over Mr.. Erickson. Livingston
in. Sanpete county arraneed
big utilization, which was en-
tirely successful. The official count
again disclosed that Mr.. Erickson
had been elected.
