One morning l found in a year old
American New York Herald, refer
ence TO the little kingdom of Barrat-
aria, an island in the northern seas.
The writer told of great fetes in the
little town OF Il thousand souls over
the return of its king, driven out dur
ing Il revolution some years before.
Then my heart went sick, for there
was picture of little Adelaide, as
the kings daughter, wearing u quaint

parted for Barrataria on the night

Barrataria consisted of city of
some four thousand souls. on Il two
hundred-acre island, reached by long,
heavy bridges from the mainland II
was an elevated plain, built up solid
with residences and warehouses. Its
people were well-to-do. Many oi
them dried shiploads of herring and

loosely built frame barns. Others
operated big steamship lines, spend
ing their days ut business and theil

But they could forget us easily. Hence

Immediately. There was skirmishing
to the south, where the island ran off

THE country lost one of the greatest
diplomats it ever produced, if not the
greatest, in the death of Secretary of
State John Hay, who died suddenly last
Friday night at his summer home in
New Hampshire. Mr.. Hay began
training for that position, second or
third in Importance in the ma ton, during
the first administration of Honest
Abe" Lincoln as assistant private sec
retary to the president. In 1887 he was
appointed ambassador to England and
in 1898 he became secretary of state
under M'Kinley. He has held that
portfolio continuously since. He was a
messenger of peace, having prevented
wars with various nations of Europe
and settled disputes amicably but new
ertheless in the interest of his country.
He was an author of repute aside from
being the foremost diplomatist of his
time in the world.

Stamp Filtration a Nuisance.

Postmaster Everywhere: "Can you
post me on stamp fiirtation-th signifi-
canoe of stamps placed in various posi-
t;ons on envelopes?" queried senti-
mental youth at one CT the postofiice
windows. "Yes," said the stamp clerk
gruffly, ga stamp placed anywhere but
in the upper ,ight-hand corner of the
addressed side Of the envelope means
trouble-a lot of trouble-for postoffice
people whose duty it is to cancel the
stamps. And stamp placed anywhere
on the wrong side of the envelope, as is
often done by foolish individuals, who
imagine they are flirting, means delay
the letter being held up under the i'm
preston that it 10 unstamped until
someone discovers the stamp on the re-
verse side. That's the extent OF my
knowledge of stamp Irritation" AS
the abashed youth hurried away the
clerk winked at listener and added:
II never cid understand why these
mushy individuals don't write their ten
der sentiments in the letters instead of
making trouble for mail handlers by
sticking stamps in all sorts of ridiculous
positions.

Secretary Bonaparte's Ancestry.

1t is common error of the newspa-
pers, in mentioning the new Secretary
of the Navy, commenting on his ia
nous name and the Gallo quality Of
his wit, the shrug of his shoulders, and
the abundance of his gestures, to
speak of his French ancestry. OF
course, as matter of fact, there is not
a drop of French blood in Charles j..
Bonaparte's veins. His grandfather.
Jerome Bonaparte, who married and
deserted Elizabeth Patterson before he
became King of Westphalia, was Corr
sican of Italian descent, while the Pat
tersons were Scotch-Irish. The new
sccretary's mother was a Down East
Yankee, woman Of great force of
character. During the Civil War she
was aggressive for the Union, in the
midst Of southern syrlpathizcr., and
her Influence was doubtless moro

SHORTHAND SYSTEMS
and which are the Easiest Lcaraee
A Denver Man Wrote 1875 Words a Min
ute after Studying Months; Selected
for Government Position.

1t is said that by the use of the Per-
min system of shorthand, which is
claimed to be the simplest, as well as
the most rapid, that beginner can in
three months time become as proficient
as in or 8 months with any of the
older systems.
Probably one Of the most notable cx-
amples of what can be done with SIM
pie system of shorthand was the achieve
ment of Mr.. r. E. Winbourne Denver
man who in months study of short
hand was easily able to write 135 words
a minute in shorthand and at the gov
ernment examination held in Denver
passed highest of the so stenographers
who competed. Mr.. Winbourne is now
stenographer to assistant Postmaster
General at Washington, D. c. Mr..
Dolphin, another Pernin writer, passed
next highest and is also stenographer
in the government service.
For several years the question of
simplifying and improving shorthand
systems has been considered, but the
Pcrnin system is the Only system that
is capable of a high speed and at the
same time is really readable. Nearly
all systems of shorthand are hard to
read because the vowels arc left out.
In fact, employers who are particular
for rapid and accurate work always pre-
fer Pernin stenographers. Many sten-
ographers who desire high speed with
the ability t. make sn accurate tran
script from their notes are already
adopting the Perrin system.

CELEBRATION

AS usual a large crowd Of Baca
county citizens and not a few
from beyond her borders spent
independence day at the Spring
field celebration. The wind in
forenoon and the glaring sun of
the afternoon caused some disa-
pointment. A short program
consisting Of singing, band music,
prayer and the reading of the
Declaration of Independence end
ed the morning program and
sumptuous basket dinners were
spread beneath the trees.
The baseball game which, was
to have been one of the principal
features of the day, was a disap-
pointment to many. The Villas
boys did not appear as a team,
but finally a nine was secured
which had never practiced to-
gether and was persuaded to play
for the benefit of the crowd.
The vacancies in the home team
were filed and the game began
with D. Miser umpire and J. F.
Harrison scorekeeper. Differ
ences in opinion as to the rules
of the game caused wrangling,
especially among our boys and
the game was not the friendly
contest it should have been.
When three and one-half innings
had been played, consuming al
most two hours, the Villas boys
were willing to quit playing and
all agreed that the game should
stop. The score stood 30 to 13
in favor of the home team. i, The
