In Mcmoriam.

In memory of w. R. Collins. who was killed by the Southern Railway company July 2i. 1905. William Rogers Collins was the eldest son of John and Margret Collins, was 35 years of age, born and reared in Talladega, Ala.
 MT. Collins has been member of the Presbyterian church from boyhood. He was a man of excellent moral character, as well as Christian. Temperance, charity and kindness were his virtues. He has been an employe of the Southern Railway company for fifteen years, and was in the regular performance of his duty when taken so suddenly from our midst. "As God giveth He also taketh." !" We know that His, was wise and good purpose in taking this dutiful serv- ant from us, for truly his was clean life. If his friends can say this of him, what did the Master say? Well done, thou good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joys of thy Lord"
 MT. Collins was married November 25, 1897, to Miss Alien Steele of East Lake. her to bear this sorrow that Thou in Thine infinite mercy hath deemed wise to cast upon her. Though she may in her darkest hour of woe, Tong for the touch of a hand that is vanished and the sound of voice that Is still" Help her to say, Oh, Lord, Thy will, not mine, be done, and grant, Oh, Lord, that her lamps may be all trimmed and burning when He come."

 And the tanner knows 1t SO proceeds with the second act. While the beast is enjoying deep sleep, thanks to some nar- cotic considerably administered, the cage is entered, and strong collar, attached to a chain riveted to the bars. is fasten- ed around It's neck When the lion shows signs of awakening the tanner sits himself on the chair inside.

For eight days this programme is continued; the lion wastes it's energy in useless attempts to reach the man; the man sits still, never flinchlng Finally the animal becomes convinced of the inutlity of prolonging its torture, and jumps no more"
 The vital moment for the trainer comes when the lion Is released. and Is met by the trainer with the chair and pitch fork as defenses. After many battles the animal admits defeat, acknowledging it's master.
 How Martin one of the first men to tame wild beasts came to enter the dan gerous profession is quite a romance. Hs was a simple stable hand in a travelling circus which found itself one day at a country fair in company with menag- erie owned by a Dutchman named Van Acten and his sister, charming girl of twenty.
 Martin fell in love with her but her hand was refused to the insignificant sta- ble cleaner. He was struck with an in- genious idea. Allowing q short time to elapse, he invited the Van Acken family to pay him a visit in a tigers cage. They hurried expecting to witness a madman's act. What they saw was the formidable beast, submissive and obedient, licking the hand of it's trainer
 Such an exhibition which had never hitherto been seen, would mean fortune for the menagerie, Martin won his bride"

difficulty the final solution of which has appeared in the modern clock, in it's high est development, a chronometer that keeps time within a fraction of a second per week.

 into lengths for the hours and being made of sawdust mixed with a certain propor- ton of gum may be counted on to resolve themselves into agreeably scented smoke at reasonably uniform rate per inch Such incense sticks are sufficiently fla miliar in this country. but. clocks being plentiful, are not commonly utilized for time-keeping purposes

ment to another, and in its decent US axis, by concding with hour marks on a graduated vertical scale, indicates the lapse of time
 Having a beginning in this simple form, the water clock underwent high devei- opment and wide differentiation. It took the shape, among others, of series or vessels communicating by tubes that passed through figures of dragons and other images, the floats in some cases being held by grotesque but attraetiVe genii. One apparatus of the kind, which came much later, told the time by the weight of water that come from the beak of a bird and which was received py a vessel on a balance, every pound indl- eating a certain fraction of an hour. At about the same time there was set up In the capital city of Persia, on the terrace of the royal palace. somewhat similar clock consisting of a balance containing twelve metal balls, one of which fell eV- cry hour upon a great gong. This won- derful instrument is said to have been sent by the King of Persia to Charle- mango as a gift.
 The Chinese whose ideas on the sub feet deserve respect by reason of their priority, do not number the hours as we do They have names for them the twenty four hour period being divided by the people of the middle kingdom into twelve equal parts each of which Is des- ignated in their written language by a character. In this point, again, they were far ahead of the Europeans, for whom the invention of the modern clock seems actually to have been delayed some centuries by the difficulty of splitting night or day into even fractions.
 To the ancient Greeks and Romans. for example, this problem appeared insupera- ble owing to the wabblng of the earth which increases the length of the day at one season and diminishes 1t at another For a relatively latter-day gentleman named TIipparchus was 1t reserved to of- fer the suggestion that the time from dawn to dawn might be broken into twen- ty-four equal parts.

On one occasion after hostilities between north and south had begun and when her northern home was decorated for some festive occasion, with American. flags, she, to show her loyalty to the south, display ed from her boudoir window. the Confed- crate flag, which caused angry sentiments in the crowd that collected in front of the house. They demanded the removal of the flag. She refused, when told by MT. Roose- velt and no persuasion from her hus- band could induce her to withdraw 1t. So he made a speech to the crowd, by this time a mob, told them his wife loved the flag, as she was a southern woman, and the mob dispersed.

RoosEvELT,s ANCESTORS.
Gets HIs Courage From Scotland and
 Ills Courtesy From Georgia.

From the National Magazine.
 Since Martha Bulloch through Baillie- Irvine lines, was lineally descended from the royal house of Scotland. President Roosevelt Is as truly of royal lineage as Edward VII, of England, also descended from Kings of Scotland
 To the student of atavism, the Presi- dents ancestry presents much of interest. Externally his ascendants were from the fine old Knickerbocker families of New York. The founder of the Roosevelt line was Claes Martenzen van Rosenvelt, Dutch trader who came to New York in 1645, and many of whose descendants were men of note after the Dutch flag was superseded by the British. These thrifty Dutchmen traded, served God and country and fought in the Revolution as American soldiers.
 Materially, our President Is descended from English speaking ancestors except the De Veaux line-French. So in this blending of sturdy Knickerbocker and southern cavalier one queries, From which side of the house does the Presi- dent inherit his cordial manner, perfect dignity and courtesy? A genial current transmitted, surely, from Martha Bulloch and to her perhaps a heritage from court ly Chevalier de Veaux, of the province of GeOrgla. From the kn1ckerD0cKerS must have come much of the cool courage. tenacity and sturdy traits of character. From the Bullochs and the Baillies and the Stewards of Georgia, gallant heroes all, must have come, with a large share of fighting blood" the high integrity, lo1 alty to principle and fine patriotism that unite to make Theodore Roosevelt what he Is, the highest type of American citizen. soldier and stateman. Descended from those royal rough riders, The Wal lace and The Bruce, how fair he rode under tropic skies, how brave the charge up San Juan's heights! And riding down again, he found himself enshrined in the hearts of the American people.
 There are many still in Georgia who cherish tender memories of the Presi- dents beautiful aristocratic mother Throughout her girlhood she was a noted belle, admired everywhere for her beauty. accomplishments. charm of manner and strong mentality. During a visit to her sister in Philadelphia she met MT. Roose- welt. who was captivated by the lovely young southern girl, and the announce ment of their engagement soon followed. Felcitations and regrets were intermin- gled, for many deplored her loss when the bridegroom rode out from the north to claim his bride.
 Martha Bulloch Roosevelt loved with ardor her native state, and mourned with

NEW MINING LAWS IN EFFECT.
Synopsis of Measures Passed by the
Recent Legislature.

This week the laws entered by the
last Legislature relative to mining go
into effect, reminds the Portland
Daily Journal. That affecting the cor
poration tax is the most important in
its bearing on the younger element of
the industry. Remitting the corpora
tion tax, or rather fixing an arbitrary
license of SO year, on all companies
owning properties that have not pro-
duced $1,000 in the preceding year is
an immense relief. Several mine own
ers thought the law exempted them
from payment of the tax for the year
just closed, but such is not the case.
AS the original tax has always been re-
garded unjust to mines not producing
in fact, to all mining property, re-
mittance of the tax for 1904 was asked
but the effort to secure any relief in
volved heavy struggle, and it was
feared that II more was attempted.
the entire measure would fail.
The bill providing that the date of
manufacture of blasting explosives be
labeled on the original package will
go into effect this week. Such a meas
ure as this has never been tried in
Oregon. but similar ones have been
enforced by other mining states, and
miners assert that they add materially
to the safety of workmen under
ground.
After this week mining companies
may be organized in this state and
have a board of directors resident
elsewhere. One of the most striking
results of this measure has been the
bringing of three or four prominent
companies here already. They were
operating in the state, but incorporated
where their directors lived, as it was
impracticable for the directors to
come to this state Annually to hold
meetings Such meetings may be held
anywhere now, and before the year
closes many companies will no doubt
make this state their corporate home.
The amendment to the placer loca-
ton law will go into effect within a
few more days; the effect of this
measure is to make placer locations
conform more nearly to the law i'm
regard to the lode locations, so far
as may be in the nature of things.
These were the only measures en-
acted by the last Legislature affecting
| the mining interests. None was de-
cared an emergency measure and all
take effect 60 days from date of ap-
proval by the governor.
