TORTOISE FIGHT Is FUNNY
Battle Between She'll Covered An
imals May Continue Long Time
Without Injury to Either.

Listen" said the farmer, leaning on
his hoe From the next field came q
sound of rapping, sound as of sharp
knockE on door. What is that?" said
the city, man. "a tortoise fight" the
farmer answered. We'll go and see it,
They made their way toward the rap
ping sound, relates the Baltimore Her
aid, and in a little while they came upon
two box tortoises that were fighting
hard. The creatures fought in a strange
way. They made at one another with
their heads protruded, but, at the mo-
ment of collision, each tried to use his
front flap for shield, and the result OF
this prudence was that not the heads but
only the shells of the tortoises hurtled
together There was bang. Then the
fighters backed off and prepared for an
other round. The two men watched
them till the spectacle became weari-
some. Then they returned to the pota-
to patch.

chise and your nonproductive acres will
make you rich.''
That was the strongest temptation
that faced me during my entire may.
oral term. The ordinance was popu-
lar. The street car line would supply
a want. The changed route was better
than the original. And my property,
purchased years before ever dreamed
OF being mayor, would become a prof
liable investment.
But the hand of the briber lay on
that map; the finger of the briber
pointed to promised reward. The
changed route was as much of bride
as the money which would be paid me
for my influence to secure the company
it's franchise.
The president called me a fool for
refusing to take advantage of an OPP
portunity by which I not only could
perform an act of great service and
value to large district, but do a good
thing for myself as well. Apparently
he did not see the difference between a
brlbe in effect and bribe in fact.
L nave cited these attempts to in
duce me to commit a crime because
many citizens are prone to impute base
motives to every official act of their
mayor. It unfortunately is too true
that many good people are convinced
that the instant man takes the oath
OF office as chief executive of a city he
begins to feather his nest" There is
scant encouragement for public Off
cial to be honest when he is tried and
found guilty by cynical public before
he has even learned the way to his
Office door. The fact is, many men,
who in ordinary business affairs are
scrupulously honest, do not hesitate to
commit the crime of bribery when their
selfish interests are involved. They at.
tempt to bride mayors and other city
officials by direct and indirect methods.
They use the church, the club, family
connections and friendship to consum-
mate their criminal designs-and SEEM
[ngly see no crime in SO doing.

All a Mistake.

An American correspondent protests
against the phrases American accent
and nasal twang," which were used in
many reports of the Torrey- Alexander
mission at Liverpool. For the impress
sion is general one that all Americans
talk through their noses is quite as er-
roneous, remarks the London Chronicle.
as if one should assert that all English
people talk Cockney." The protest is
justifiable. There is no such thing as
the American accent" except in a few
words such as advertisement" where
in America is superior as to pronun
citation and practice Nor does the
Aemrican-born man talk through his
nose" The real difference that we all
notice is difference in the general
pitch of voice. The American voice is
pitched in slightly higher key than the
English; and here you may find the rea-
son why the American assimilates
French so easily. Put it roughly, the
case is this: The Frenchman talks from
his palate, the American from the top
of his throat the Englishman from his
chest and the German from his dia-
phragm.

An Exploded Notion.

a Dill is pending in the Wisconsin leg
aslature for a state sanatorium for con
sumptives. The Milwaukee Sentinel
says there are $4,000 cases and 1900
deaths a year in the state from the dis
ease. In Milwaukee county alone $50
cases have been treated in the public
hospital in the last ten years; and it was
found by tracing each case that certain
buildings have become breeding places
TOR the disease. Some of these buildings
are located in the heart of Milwaukee.
Continuing, the Sentinel says: I'm
checked, the disease will spread with {.
mathematical certainty that can be ap-
pretended, and which constitutes
menace to public health that cannot
safely be ignored. Because the disease
is slow in its progress-and, possibly,
because it is so n-consumptives
have in the past been regarded as per-
sons upon whom the finger of fate has
been pressed, and who must accept their
lot without murmur. Science has ex-
ploded this notion, and to-day the civ
ilized states are moving together to
crush out the plague and protect from
contagion those who are predisposed to
the disease. Wisconsin cannot well at
ford to wait until the tail of the pro-
cession Of progress has passed before
joining it. The pending bill ought to
pass

THE RARE ALOE WOOD TREE
Native Of India from Which a Valu-
able Resinous Juice Is
Obtained.

The aloe wood tree is a native of the
mountains east and southeast of Syl-
bet, in Burmah, and in Bengal. It is
valuable on account of dark, resinous.
aromatic juice with which the wood is
sometimes gorged. This resin, or
agar, as it is colloquially termed, is
used for it's perfume and supposed
medicinal properties. 1t is very costly,
says the Bombay Gazette, and is used
both for incense in religious and other
ceremonials, and also in the prepare.
tion of perfume called agar altar.
which is practically as costly as altar
of roses.
The most interesting feature in con-
nection with the aloe wood tree is the
uncertainty as to whether any particu-
lar tree will be found to contain the pre-
cious resin. A tribe of hill men known
to the natives as agar kum1ahs make It
their business to search for the resin
GUS wood. Their trade is secret which
they always endeavor to preserve from
all natives of other tribes. A party of
agar kumlahs goes off into the noun
tains with provisions for as long as
three months, and they prosecute their
tedious search in districts where pro!a.
ably a human being is not seen fro.,
one month to another.
Trees have to be chopped down and
hacked to pieces before it can be ascer.
tanned whether they contain any of the
resinous deposit, and sometimes after
wearisome search through half dozen
trees, young and old, not single pieca
of agar is discovered. Again, it may
be that rich find is made and then
the collector is repaid for half a month
of work.

Agitation against fads in public

single battle either in the civil war
or revolutionary war, the capitals of
five states in the union, the name Of
a single member OF the presidents

names of the five boroughs constitut-
