The Hero.

Back from the wars the hero came,
 With laurels resting on his brow, To find a maiden and to claim
 Fulhlment of her sacred vow He had but one leg to his name,
 He wore an empty sleeve alack, And one glass eye, but he had fame,
 And pride was his when he came
 back. Oh, shame upon that maiden fair
 Who broke the vow that she had
 made And scorned the wreath he had to wear
 As something that would quickly
 fade. Fame? Bah" she cried; fin six
 months there Will be new heroes on the scene; Your name will be forgotten ere
 The grass above your leg is green" He blamed her for her words and turn. ed To proudly hobble from her view; And ere the orchards bloomed he learn ed That all the girl had said was true Chicago Record Herald

Miss Martha E. Johnson has been elected city tax collector in Laconia, N. H., and is said to be the first woman in the State to hold such position.

She will haveto collect about $1O2,OOO.

There are many losses besides the loss of life which all the money that has been and will be contributed for San Francisco and all the money and energy that will be displayed in re- building her cannot make up for. For instance, the collection of old books and manuscripts which Alfred Sutro had collected and intended to give to the University of California. He failed to carry out that purpose, and the col have now been burned. MT. Sutro had secured large collections of manuscripts from Bavaria and Mexico, reaching back before the invention of printing. These had never been adequately cata- logued or studied, so that there can never be exact knowledge of the nature and extent of the loss by their destruc- tion. But the Mexican manuscripts

 Young Knapp was born near Hartford, Michigan, but for years has lived with his parents in Benton Harbor, where he received the greater part of his eduea- tion in the public schools.

Some remarkable statements concern ing pauperisn among the clergy of the Church of England are made by the Rev. Harry J. Swallow, honorary sec retary of the Clergy Prevalent Union. With the permission of the local gov enment board, Mir. Swallow applied to zoo unions and asylums in England and Wales for particulars as to the number of pauper clergymen who had ben ad- mitted during the last ten years. The result was to show that no fewer than forty-two clergymen had been admitted into county and borough pauper asy- lums and sixty-one into union work houses.

The Making Of a Juror.


The judge had his patience sore!y
tried by lawyers who wished to talk
and by men who tried to evade jury
service. Between hypothetical ques
tons and excuses it seemed as il they
never would get to the actual trial of
the case. So when the puzzled little
German who had been accepted by
both sides jumped up the judge was
exasperated.
"Shudge!" cried the German.
what is it?" demanded the judge.
II tink like to go home to my
wife," said the German.

down."
But, shudge,' persisted the German,

said the judge. "Sit down."
The little German pointed at the
lawyers to make his last desperate
plea.
"shudge,' he said, 81 can't make
holdings of what these fellers say"
1t was the judges chance to get even
for many annoyances.
Neither can anyone else," he said.
"Sit down."
With sigh the little German sat

fact that more than 80 per cent Of the

vote against that measure. is 1t hard

representatives?
Woodbury. county men sent to their
representatives at Des Moines petit
ton with 1859 signatures, asking for
the passage of "the primary election
bill" the Crossley bill being then be-
fore the legislature. Numerous letters
reported to these representatives that
the people were practically unanimous
in support of the law. On the petit
tions, if the representatives deigned to
examine them, they found the names
of farmers, lawyers, physicians,
tradesmen, merchants, jobbers, bank
ers, contractors. No opposition petit
ton was prepared. The statement
that the people were practically unan-
imous for the law was not and could
not be disputed.
And yet Senator Jackson voted
against the Crossley bill and said he
would vote against any primary bill at
this session.
And Representatives Jepson and Nc
Elrath in the house Tuesday voted
against the F'lenniken bill, which was
the Crossley bill in modified form.

supposed to serve.

OPPORTUNITY At HOME.

While the American and British
northwest have been developing at an
unprecedented rate, fed by middle west
immigrants and stimulated by middle
west money, figures on the development
of the southern states show surpris-
ing growth in industrial and agricul-
tural activity. When the orgasm OF
emigration to the northwestern prov
inces of Canada has spent itself, as 1t
is certain to do in time, the hordes of
land seekers and investors will turn
southwark toward a section rich in
possibility and ripe for change.
We are accustomed to think of the
south somewhat as we do of Cuba, as
an undeveloped country, a land of sizes
tas and sunburnt laziness. Some fig
ures comparing the south with other
sections of the country. as given out
by the Manufacturers Record, may aid
in establishing more accurate con-
ception of the development of one of
the richest sections of the United
States.
The south, in 1905, had population
of 100000 III 1850 the rest of the
country had population Of 100000.
In 1865 the souths railroad mileage
was 10000. The mileage for the rest of
the country in 1880 was $1,000 The
Atlanta oJurnal adds these figures:
The south last year made 100000
tons of pig iron, against 100000 for
all the rest Of the country in 1880;
mined 100000 tons of coal, against
36,O00,O00; made 6,244,000 tons of coke,
barrels of oil. against 26,000,00O.
The soutt's capital invested in cot
ton mills in 1905 was s225,o00,000, as
against s2O0,0OO,000 n the rest of the
country in 1880; it's annual lumber
products were s25o,oo0,ooo, as against
s194,O00,Oo0; it's annual farm products
$1,750, 100000, as against $1,55 100000.
There are richer opportunities for
northern courage and push and capital
on this side the Canadian line.
