NEW SHORT STORIES
N7he etudent,s oueation.


The lhte John r. Proctor was one Of
the best story teIlers in Washington. He
went to dinner the night before he
died and told this tale Of his college
days:
The professor In psychology when /
was a senior was an erudite man who
sometimes talked of things SO far
above the heads Of his class that no
body understood what be was driving
at.
zone day he started In on some abb
stract proposition and talked for BALI
or three quarters OF an hour. He Was
away over In the back Of the book.
The entire class was dazed. The pro-
lessor rambled on with hts PROPOSE
lions until everybody was SO tangled
that nobody was sure OF his name.
Finally the professor took out his
watch, gazed at It impressiyely and
said: Now, gentlemen, there are ten
minutes remaining Of the recitation
hour. II anybody wishes to question
me concerning the subjects have just
treated, ! shall be glad to answer to
the best Of my ability
"There was CHASTITY silence. No
body knew what he had been talking
about. The old professor gaW,d COM
placentiy around. Finally student
stuck up a timorous hand.
"'What is itT asked the professor
pompously.

the governor, heaving sigh. +I'll tell
you how it Is. My wife packed that
trunk. She expected to come with me,
but was prevented at the last moment.
TO my certain knowledge she put in
enough to fill three trunks the way a
man would pack them. If open II

Monday Nights Concert.

The Arion Concert Company,
composed of the three excel
lent musicians, Albert De Chau-
dron, violin virtuoso, Don Adele
Weigel, dramatic soprano, and
Mabel Lee Morrison, pianist, gave
an evening at the Opera House on
Monday. The program was choice
and beautiful, and was rendered
faultlessly. Encores, however,
were not enthusiastic enough to
induce a single return. In fact,
the audience was small, as is usu-
al in Brookhaven when a icon
cert'' or "lecture" is announc-
ed. 1t takes the tragic, the dra-
matte, the spectacular, the "too
utterly too-too'' to tempt the
masses out in this city. How
ever, Brookhaven people are SO
accustomed to "Music's golden
tongue that Gin surfeiting the
appetite may have sickened and
so died.
The regret that minglcs with
the pleasure the gifted trio in
spired and left, a sweet memory
in our hearts, is that SO little
cash accrued for the public school
library. We hope that every in
terested friend of the public school
that failed to contribute to this
most worthy object by attending
the concert, will personally give
to Prof. Scott the price of a
ticket. The cause demands and
deserves it.

wide Range of the Moose.

The range of the moose in North
America is of enormous extent. from
Nova Scotia In the extreme east,
throughout Canada and certain of the
northern United States to the limits OF
tree growth in the west and north Of
Alaska. Throughout this vast extent
of territory but two species are recog.
nized-the common moose, Alces ameri-
canus, and the Alaskan moose, Alces
gigas, of the Renal peninsula but it is
probable that further exploration will
bring to light another species near the
head waters Of the Laird river and the
Sassiar mountains of British Columbia
and still another farther north in the
neigh3orhood Of the CoTvilie river

Panutng of the cowhor.

The cowboy is gone from Indian Ter
ritory. Allotment has practically broken
up the cattle business In that territory,
and this year there will be almost to-
tai absence of the big herds which have
for years grazed its rich grasses. The In
dian agent states that there seems to
be no move whatever on the part Of
cattlemen to take grazing leases this
year, and there will be none. Leases
Of this kind cannot be made for pc
Rod longer than one year, and as most
Of the allotments are being fenced the
cowman cannot longer handle his cat
tie under the old regime. The Here
ford and Shorthorn have taken the
place of the Texas ranger, and the
herds have been broken up into small
punches. owned and cared for by the

! Guatuso afortuary Customs.

The Guatuso Indians of Central
America live in considerable numbers
in a single hut, and the village visited
comprised about fifteen huts. The dead
are buried in the habitations, and the
earth covering the graves settles until
it is about foot below the surface Of
the floor. As time goes on the graves
become less distinct, and finally they
are completely obliterated. When a
person dies the relatives wall aloud,
crying, II am distressed" When a
warrior is buried, HIS body is provided
with certain feathers OF two curras-
sows, bunch being placed In each
hand, and for some time after death
cacao is placed upon the grave in order
that the departed warrior may be sup
piled with drink.

CHOICE MISCELLANY
No .sRlanIxae For Kraa Rines.


1T is not generally known that when
squad OF United States regular col
diers fires d salute with what purport
to be blank cartridges they are really
firing bullets,n said an employee OF
Frankford arsenal recently. Continu-
ing, he said:
"Of course the only effect sought In a
salute is the production of noise, and
in the old days Of the Springfield rifle,
with its perfectly straight cartridges,
1t was easy to load blank with a
charge of black powder and paste
board wad and insure Its proper con-
finement by a heavy crimp at the end
OF the shell. With the new Krag and
its bottle necked shell the powder can
not be properly confined without pro-
jectiie. Hence we make a fake bullet
Of paper, into the nose of which we IN
sert few grains of powder. Now,
when the rife is fired the paper bullet
leaves the muzzle with all the initial
velocity of the real steel jacketed pro-
jectile. The intense friction produced
by such velocity causes the powder in
the paper to explode and scatter the
paper to the four winds within Ave
feet Of the gun muzzle. "-P Philadelphia

Patriotic.

A very beautiful and patriotic
deed was done by a number of
young boys of the public school
last week; a deed, redolent with
love and memories of the Lost
Cause of the SOS, inspired as it
was by the teacher, Mrs. Ju-
liza Chrisman, whose young SOL
der husband gave up his life in
that now long-gone and memora-
BILE time.
The young members of the
third grade had been studying the
life of Robert E. Lee at the public
school, under the tutelage of Mrs.
Chrisman; and SO well did their
teacher direct their minds and fill
the hearts with a love for country
and the brave souls that died to
save it, that they conceived
the idea of identifying the graves
of the Confederate dead at Rosehill
cemetery. These bright boys set
about the task, and, by solicita-
ton, succeeded in raising $40 for
their object. What was worth
to them more than money, was
the cordial courtesy of Mr.. John
E. Seavey, who volunteered to
direct the work and accompany
them to the graves on last Thurs
day. Shrubbery has now been
set out about the mounds and
they have been thoroughly put in
order. Now the boys are plan
ming decoration day!
The Leader feels sure that the
whole town and community will
unite with them, and that Brook
haven this year will place herself
in line with other thoughtfully
patriotic towns and "coyer them
over with beautiful flowers, the
graves of these heroes of ours''
on some day to be named.

A man may be legally dead and yei
be very much alive In fact. Ten years
ago Fitch Marquis left his family In
Kansas and had never been heard Of
until the other day, when he turned M

he had been, His wife thought him
dead and sued for 81 5000 life insrI>

cided she should pay the premiums
