A Dutch Fishing village.

Almost every fishing village In Hol

quaint customs. One can see from ole
Dutch pictures that these have not va

interesting place is the island of Mar
ken, a tongue of land on the margin OF
the Zuyder Zee, which can well be In
spected in n couple of hours. 1t is sc
little above the sea level that the clus
ters of houses or tiny villages are
built on mounds connected by bridges
and nearly every little house has its
own little moat and its own little boat

piles. They are none Of them very old
as the place has often been flooded
and burned. In winter Marken Is otter

Initiative Animals.

Some animals have wonderful pow
ers of imitation. Dogs brought up in
the company of cats have been known
to acquire the trick of licking the
paws and then washing the face. When
cat has been taught to sit up for her
food her kittens have been known to
initiate her action. Darwin tells of a
cat that was in the habit of putting
milk pitcher every time she got the
chance and then licking the cream of
her paw. Her kittens soon learned the
same trick

an old man with Il great beard came

Sea serpents date back to the days of
Aristotle. who wrote: "The serpents of
Libya are of enormous size. Naviga-
tors along the coast report having
seen great quantity of bones of oxen
which they believe without doubt to
have been devoured by the serpents.
These serpents pursued them (the sea.
mem when they left the shore and up
set one of their trlremes."
CLAUS Magnus wrote in the middle
ages of a sea serpent 200 feet long and
20 feet thick which haunted rocks and
caves near the seacoast, the old writer
adding "And he puts up his head on
high like Il pillar and catcheth away

The JOY of the Republicans of
Missouri over the recent overthrow
of the Democratic machine in that
state is indicated in the note of
triumph sounded by the st. Louis
Republic, which says. All hail,
Republican Missouri. 1t is no
longer poor old Missouri, but a
state that stands erect with its face
to the light and marching in COM
pany with New York, Illinois,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana.
Missouri has cut loose from Bour-
bonism and political pertrification.
1t has given its electoral vote to
the Republican column, elected a
legislature that is Republican on
joint ballot and chosen Republican
state officers with the exception of
one who slipped in on false pre-
lenses with the assistance of a
number of foolish Republican
votes. Missouri will now boom
just as the markets are booming
and the name of the United States
is booming the world over. Th e
great victory in this state was
gained over the crookedness of one
of the most powerful machines
ever organized and one that held
control for a third of a century.
1t is a grand achievement, and
won by indomitable Missouri Re-
publicans, whom no defeat, not
even thirty years of it, could dis
hearten.

it was not so, and l could not understand
how such report ever got out, and for

over the phone the other night my old

self martyr and his teacher a tyrant

bamboo briers and then shook the bloody
