President Roosevelt is credited with
a great deal CT strength, but he is hav-
ing a hard time of it trying to forget
the tricks he learned while he played
the part of a cowboy in that part of

attention of thnsir friends to this pc

The Birds In the Picture

George Chambers, an artist, was
once commissioned by King William
Nv. of England to paint picture OF
the attack on fortress on the Spanish
coast by frigate commanded by his
majesty, who was then the Duke of
Clarence. The attack took place at
night Chambers completed beauti-
full picture from some rough sketches
that were in the kings possession, and
when submitted for approval his maj
esty was delighted with it, but Cham
bers had taken an artists liberty with
the picture and for the purpose Of re-
lieving the somber veil Of night had
introduced some sea gulls skimming the
waves. Hello, hello, Chambers said
his majesty. This will never do to
have the birds flying about at night.
They were all gone to roost." $50 they
were, your majesty" replied Cham
bers, but you gave such rousing
broadside with your guns that they all
woke up and few about" "Ah, so I
did; so / did, Chambers. / forgot that.

While blowing in his field near Eu-
faula recently Mr.. Charles Gibson un-
covered a large number of weapons,
some Of which were rifles Of an old
style, some blunderbusses, few old
time pistols and a couple of swords
All these weapons are In fair state Of
preservation and are apparently Of
Spanish make.
According to Greek tradition, party
Of adventurous Spaniards, numbering
fifty-four, In the year 1894 left New
Orleans on burros and went to the ter
ritory In search of gold. They secured
all the precious metal they could car
~, and ON their way back they were
beset by band of Shawnees near
Standing Rock, eight miles east Of
Eufaula, and a great battle followed
The Spaniards, with the exception Of
two who escaped on a raft, were ami
hilated.
1t Is supposed that the weapons

the ones that were used by the Span
iards mentioned above.-Kansas City

The Boy and the Outlaw

a Romance Of ale John Broom Raid on Har-
pers Ferry by Thomas J. T. McManus,
(dn old Harpers Ferrtan, )cf Neto York.
It is not guide book to Harpers Ferry nor
history of the Brown Raid, nor yet a life
of Brown. 1t is simply romance which
turns on the Brown Raid as a PIVOT. The
characters are living types of people found
in Virginia as well as elsewhere.
Mr.. McManus, who usedto write humor-
GUS column in the New York World, shows
in . The Boy And The Outlaw that he
still retains the O d grasp in describing the
sunny side of human nature.
The book is full of humor. pathos, adven-
ture with just enough of love to leaven the
whole. 1t has picture too, one in colors of
the type of the Harpers Ferry girl as seen at
her best just before the war. Price, 81 so.
