1t was in 1S47, when the Free Soil
state convention was held at Herkl.

Free Soil Democrats and abolitlonIsts.
In the ballroom OF the hotel-lt was
called a tavern in those days-before
the opening OF the convention were
gathered the leaders, who were ION.
structing the new party platform, slat-
ing the officers and committees and
doing other preliminary work. In a
chair tilted against the wall was
Prince John Van Buren, running over
the manuscript Of the great speech he
was to deliver. Occasionally he arrest
ed the work Of his associates with an
invitation to listen to a paragraph
which he considered especially good.
His readings each time produced laugh
ter and applause. Finally he read q
passage which excited shouts OF laugh
ter and applause. When this had died
away somebody said, John, you ought
to have that part printed in italics"
Prince John affected surprise ut the
suggestion. Gentlemen" he said, IL

speech is all italics"

An Old Description of the Busting
Dutch Town.
There may not be many points OF re-
semblance between Harlem in New
York as 1t is at present and HARLEM In
Holland as It stood more than a cen
fury ago. The following translation
from an old description OF the Euro
pean Harlem shows. however. that II
was quite a busting place:
"Haarlem, that wonderful grotesque,
with its canal, where the blue water
trembles, and the church where the
golden glass windows flame. and the
stone balcony where the linen dries In
the sun, and the roofs green as hops,
and the storks that flap their wings
round the town clock. stretching out
their necks high in the air and catch
ing the drops Of rain In their beaks,
and the needless burgomaster who
strokes his double chin with his hand,
and the infatuated florist who grows
thin, his eyes fixed on a tulip. and the
Bohemienne who falls faintlng on her
mandolin, and the old mar who plays
the remmelpot, and the child who
blows out n bladder. and the drinkers
who smoke in the dingy wine shop,
and the maIdservsnt at the hosiery
who hangs up a pheasant at the win
dow."-New York Herald.

In 1901 the Archduke Charles was
called to take command OF the army Of
Austria, which at the battle Of Hob
enlinden had been defeated by the
French and Bavarians. Near the scene
OF action he met n number Of wound
ed soldiers who had been abandoned
on the road by their commander for
want Of horses to draw their carriages
In the retreat.
The archduke, who on many occa-
sions had shown his humanity, i'm
mediately ordered the horses to be
taken from several pieces Of cannon
that were being hauled to the rear.
'The life OF n brave mar is better
worth preserving than fifty pieces OF
ordnance" he said.
The abandoned guns fell into the
hands OF the French commander, who,
when he heard OF the motive that had
prompted the sacrifice, Immediately Or
dered the whole to be sent back to the
gallant archduke With his compliments,
observing that he should be unworthy
OF being the opponent OF bis imperial
highness II be took advantage Of SO
noble an act OF humanity.

Bob lay on his cot and looked out the
door OF the adobe hut toward the
cooks shack. from the chimney Of
which came a wlsp Of smoke.
Five o'clock" he thought. Don't
have to get up FOR an hour yet. It's
going to be a rooster today" And he
threw on the blanket which the cold OF
the Mexican night demanded. then lay
with barred chest and hands locked be-
hind his head. Througl the door his
gaze could travel for miles across the
desert, and with eyes that saw but did
not heed he stared far out where plain
and sky met
"Gadsl What wouldn't I give to see

'The willows on the river ore just

with bare chest and arms behind his

And. say. I'll bet, too, that every kid OF
them has a russell apple In his pocket
TO eat at recess. Nothing but russets

"Um." said Bob, i've forgotten what
an apple looks like. And about now
we'd be teasing to wear a straw hat to

and every time one OF the kids runs

A silence followed. After a few sec
onda. without knowing why, Bob turn
ell and looked at his friend. Then, with
a gasp OF horror, be lay still and stared.
Wallace was lying with every muscle
Of his body rigid. His hands clutched
either side OF his cot, and beads OF
sweat stood on his forehead, while with
half raised head he stared down at his
chest. There, its ugly brown body out
lined against the flesh, vas a cent?
ped slowly moving about on the white
expanse. now forward, now back. now

bling which vaguely disturbed II. Mel
Their man stirred or uttered a sound. The
natives had told them that when fright

poisoned. There was no sound save
the heavy breathing Of Bob and the
song with which the cook announced
to the world;
The flower. the flower.

The ccntlped had stopped in the
middle OF Wallace's chest. Bob saw q
sudden CULVER run through wallace's
white lips, and then slowly the tremoE
was communicated to his entire body.

Then very deliberately the centlped
began to move. Carefully, as IL each
OF It's myriad legs must be exactly
planted, 1t travelled, inch by inch,
across Wallace's body and then, like
lightning. dropped to the floor. Stimuli
taneously Bob was upon 1t with a
heavy boot, and its ugly length OF
lOathsomeness was gathered to it's IA
theirs. Then, without a word, Bob
handed Wallace a dlpper OF water,
which the nan took with trembling
hand and chattering teeth. Breathing
hard, he lay white and limp for a few
moments. Then he rose, pulled on his
clothes and, deliberately walking over
to the wall, began to take down the
garments hanging there and to throw
them into n suit case.
That will be about all for me-" he
said. Il made up my mind that IL that
thing ever got on me l was going
home, where bugs are less anr~ectlonate.
You can do as you please. l am going

ing boot in on top Of a heap of writing
paper.
Bob watched him with a half grin.
"Me, too, Pete" he said. He walked
to the door and called t Pedro to har.
ness the bronchos.
"a centlped Is a bold. bad bug" he
continued, but It wouldn't surprise

A RARooN HUNT.
Horribly Suggestive of Slaughter Of
Human BetnRH.

Horribly Suggestive of Slaughter Of
Human beings.
A traveller writing from South Africa
describes q baboon hunt as follows:
VERY slowly we spread out round
about the base Of the kOpje and began
a crawling ascent through the thick
scrub. Kafirs and farmers together,
we formed something Of q loose circle
around the kopje. Daylight found us
drawing near the higher spurs Of the
kopje and the Kaf1rs were busy beat
ing.
Then the sport began, and pretty I'M
canny 1t was. A good many balloons
broke through our circle, for we only
mustered seven guns, but as we neared
the top OF the kopje l could tell by
the noises all about me that some exc
cution was being done. My first kill
gave me a most uncomfortable thrill.
1t was horribly like picking or a man.
"The balloons were great big. human
looking brutes, quite capable Of pick
ing up q lamb In their hands and run
ming OF with It. As a fact, they gen
orally content themselves with ripping
the beast open to get at the curdled
milk within. But their cries were the
most horribly human thing about them
and the gestures of their waving arms.
When we all met a careful count was
made. Thirty balloons had been
bagged. Seven had fallen to my gun"

There n No such Thfnr. According
90 IN English scfentint.
According to Sir Arthur Mitclell Of
English fame. there Is no such thing
as dreamIess sleep; that thinking Is
involuntary--to the extent at least that
we cannot cease to think under my
order OF the wills that thinking never
ceases during life and Is essential to
the continuance OF life; that dream
thinking is uncontrolled and indirect
ed by the will, Is never coherent and
concentrated, II more or less Of the
same character as thinking In delirium
and constitutes q stnte OF mental dis
order which IL not q state Of disease,
that thinking when awake Is always to
some extent under the control OF the
will by which It Is directed to a sub
ject and kept there; that there are
many degrees Of sleep and wakefulness
and as many degrees Of efficiency in
the controlling power of the will; that
thinking, like breathing or the beating
OF the heart. does not cause a sense Of
WEAKNESS, though all three have a
wearing effect on all the organs con-
cerned; that the wills ~inhlbiting and
directing work brings fatigue and u
demand for rest; that the viii finds
this rest and refreshment IN sleep and
that the frequent occurrence Of a state
OF d~lsordered mind In sleep does not dc
us harm, but on the contrary does us
good.

Professional gamblers are doubtless

The reformed gambler declares that
the statistics of crime prove beyond
all cavil that gambling IS the kings
highway TO fraud and theft. This is
not merely because it loosens general
morality and in particular saps the
rationale of property, but because
cheating IS inseDrably associated
with most modes of gambling. This
does not imply that most persons
who bet are actually cheats or thieves,
but persons who continue to be cheat
