The Giants Chair.

In Dolgelly, in the north of Wales,
there is a mountain celebrated in folk
lore, poetry and song as Cader Idrls,
or Idris' Chair. The hollow, couchlike
excavation on the top of the mountain
has given the peak its name. According
to the Welsh bards, the depression was
caused by the giant Idris long using 1t
as a chair There is a local tradition
in north Wales that whoever passes the
night in the Giants Chair will be found
in the morning either dead, crazy or
endowed with the highest poetical as
piratIons. Idris is variously represent
ed in Welsh tradition as prince, magi
clan, sorcerer and astronomer, the only
thing on which all authorities agree be
ing his immense stature. The Lake
Of the Three Pebbles" which lies a
the foot OF the Giants Chair, contains
three large blocks of stone, which Idri'
is said 10 have once poured out OF hi
| boots. The smallest of these stone

why Prussia Is So Called.

The modern name of Prussia Is de-
rived from Borussi, or Porussl, who
conquered the country about 32O b. q.
Little is known concerning Prussia and
its people till the tenth century except
that that portion of the Baltic shore
which Is now included In the kingdom
Of Prussia was formerly inhabited by
Slavonic tribes akin in customs and
languages to the Lithuanians. They
came in occasional collision with wave
after wave Of the great Teutonic race
as II flowed down from the Icy north
receiving their first knowledge of Chris
tianity from Bishop Adalbert of Prague
whom they martyred in 997. In the
middle Of the thirteenth century the
Teutonic knights, on their return from
the crusades, undertook the conques
and conversion of Prussia. The Borus
ala element mingled with the follower
Of the Teutonlc knights, and conse
quently with the Poles.

1t Recalled the HONEYMOON.

Here is a quaint little story told of
young couple upon their wedding trip,
crossing from Dover to Calais. Jenny
had grown tired and sickly ON deck,
and James had led her to the saloon
below, lovingly wrapping her up in
Scotch plaid in a snug looking corner.
He then went and fetched her some
eau de cologne and was not less lavish
of endearing words until-until he
found he had made a mistake.
His wife had moved to another cor
ner of the saloon more free from
drafts, and an elderly woman with just
the same sort of plaid had taken her
place. Realizing the condition of af-
fairs, James dropped the cologne bottle
and fed. Later he induced his wife to
go and apologize to the woman he had
unwittingly lavished tenderness upon,
and Jenny went.
MY DEAR said the elderly woman
tearfully, don't apologize. 1t was
nice to be called such sweet names. II
reminded me of my honeymoon time
It's many a long year since my John
had q tender word for me"
John never meant to be unkind anC
probably did love his wife. Only, like
too many other married men, he fan

WARNED BY CORTELYOU
POSTAL employees MUST GIVE UP
POLITICAL ACTIVITY.
Instructions Sent to the Postmaster at
Louisville at the Suggestion Of the
Civil Service Commission.

Postmaster General Cortelyou, at the sug-
gestion of the civil service commission has
forwarded to the postmaster at Louisville,
KY. set OF general instructions In ao-
cordance with the rules OF the civil service
concerning the activity in politics of en-
ployas of the Post Office Department. The
instructions. in full. follow:
Inform Mr.. William A. Evans that 1t is
the opinion of the department that IL he de-
sires to retain his position as assistant post
master he should retire from membership
on the republican state central committee
Of Kentucky.
bring to the attention of the classified
employees of your office the civil service reg
ulations relative to activity in politics and
request such employees to comply strictly
with the spirit of the regulations in Ques-
ton.
Assign to Mr.. John w. Cassaday such du-
ties only as 1t is proper under tho civil
service regulations for an employee of his
status to perform.
please submit to the department as
promptly as possible a full report of your
action under these instructions"
Result of an Investigation.
This action was the outcome of an In
vestigation made at the Louisville office by
Commissioner Gil Gene. The report of the
commission on the subject suggests that
Mr.. Evans should be required to retire from
the republican state central committee of
Kentucky: that Mr.. Cassaday should be
relieved of his clerical duties, which should
be given to man in the classified service.
and that Mr.. Cassaday should either be re-
tired or assigned to laborer's work; that
the postmaster at Louisville should be In
formed that it is improper for classified
employees to take active part in politics. and
should be required to effectually prevent the
wholesale activity of these employees in fu-
ture political campaigns IN KENTUCKY.
Mr.. Cortelyou has been quoted as saying
that the very best service a postmaster
can give his party is In the proper admin
fstration of his office and that other ac-
tivity, such as indulgence in politics, should
be discouraged From his position as the
chairman of the largest and most infiuen-
tfal political organization In the country
the Postmaster General Is presumed TO be
in position to know what is best for his
party.

the guidance of the postmaster at Louis

1899. and October 25. 1901. the claim being
based on the recent decision of the Su-
preme Court of the United States in the
case Of Warner. Barnes & Co.. or Peabody
G. Co. versus the United States. In which
he says: "The government Is not disposed
to concede the justice of the claims and
proposes to file petition for rehearing in
the cases to which you refer, and to pre-
sent many grounds which 1t hopes Will
convince the court Of the error made in the
conclusion reached. This determination on
the part of the government renders 1t. of
course, impossible for us either to recog-
nize the validity Of the claim or to call the
attention OF any other department of the
government to the necessity for its pay
ment."
