Mhn Ate Roner MllIlams2

Many a schoolboy knows the legend
of Rogers Williams; the story that the
! Rhode Island pioneer was buried be.
meath the roots of an apple tree, and,
having enriched its growth with his
late mortal easement. must subse-
quently have been partaken of by the
passers-by who ate the fruit of the
now famous apple tree.
A few years ago the old story was
told to the scholars of a grammar
school in a Maine town. Not long
afterward the school was addressed
by a gentleman from Ireland, the par
ent of one of the scholars, and not a
public speaker by profession. When
the teacher asked him to address the
pupils he arose, but was unable to
think of anything to say, and finally
proposed that the scholars should ask
him any question they might like an
swered.
A boy in the front row, whose geog-
raphy had perhaps become somewhat
mixed, inquired, "Who ate Roger vii.
liams?'
The gentleman from Ireland scratch
ed his head a moment; then, his ma
tive wit coming to the rescue, blurted
out: Roger MacWilliams, is it? How
the divvil do | know? Who do they
suspict?"

EXCURSION over New Line,

Last Saturday a small excursion On
the new line of the Union Pacific rail-
road from O'Fallons up the valley of
the North Platte river was taken by
General Superintendent Park, Superin-
tendent Anderson, Trainmaster Cla-
baugh, Assistant Engineer Thayer, w.
H. Mcdonald, Arthur Mcnamara and
Ira Bare, editor of the North Platte
Tribune. The Tribune editor, in writ
ing and account of the trip for his pa
per, says that the line is in every
way an almost perfect one and that the
bridge across the North Platte river
north of Paxton, though frame, is a
splendid construction. Section houses
are being erected almost as fast as the
railroad is built and the grading for
the sidetrack and depot is being done.
The telegraph line and the fences on
each side of the road are being con
structed as fast as the steel is laid.
Most of the road on the east side Of
the bridge across the North Platte riv-
err has been surfaced.

HERE'S RECORD WHIST HANC

Wisconsin Player Had No Gard
Higher Than a Seven.
only once in the history of whist
playing in this locality" writes a
man from Waukesha, Wis, 80 fag as
can be learned, has a hand been dealt
in which there was no card higher
than a seven spot, and that hand was
held a few days ago, at the l-cal whist
club, by August Jacobson Of lis city.
The hand was made up as follows:
Spades, 8, A; diamonds, 2, A; clubs,
2. 5. 6, Z; hearts. 2. 8. 4. 6. Z.
This beats the famous 'Yarbor-
ough' hand for which the Duke of Var
borough offered a prize of one thou
sand pounds for several years and
found no one to win it. He was will
ing to pay this amount to any one
who could show him a hand dealt in
which no card had a value higher
than a nine spot The offer was
known throughout England, and in
time all hands of exceptionally low
value became known as Marlborough
ha2ds. The Jacobson hand bids fair
to become as celebrated among whist
players as that the duke was unable
to find."-New York Press.

BY The GENTLE cYNIc.

A mans friends are generally AZ
good as he deserves.
There would be no disappointment
If it wasn't for hope.
There are men who never pay any
thing they owe except grudges.
Most of us would be perfect If we
followed the advice we give others.
Our p%oliteness is often wasted on
people before We really know them.
The perfect woman is the one who
succeeds in ~concealing her imperfec-
tions.'
There is only one way to success
fully manage a wife, and that is her
W way.
A good bit of the trouble in this
world is due to Inflammation of the
Imagination.
The modiste can help a girl out
with her wedding gown, but not with
her divorce suit.
1t doesn't follow that there is no
effect without a cause when a woman
changes her mind.
A welsh rabbit is a good bit like a
buzz saw 1t won't hurt you if you
don't monkey with it.
The man who doesn't have his
name on his umbrella often finds that
he hasn't an umbrella to his name.
Some men are such good company
for themselves that they would actu-
ally rather play solitaire than poker.
What's the use of worrying about
whether or not we shall know each
other in heaven? Few of us really
know each other here.

SAYS WHITE WAS NEARING END
Death Would Have Resulted From
Complication of Diseases
By Associated Press,

Dy <aSSOCldlSu IEeSS.
NEW YORK, June 2s.-Stanford
Whites life was shortened only two
years at the most by Thaw's act last
Monday night, according to the opinion
of the physician who performed the
autopsy upon his body.
White was a sufferer from Bright's
disease, incipient tuberculosis and fatty
degeneration of the heart
One of the interesting developments
today was that Thaw had invited An
thony Comstock to call upon him.
Thaw called Comstock's office by tele-
phone while he was in the criminal
court building, asked for "a. c." and
said:
II have received this morning a very
remarkable letter which think 1t will
pay you to investigate. I would like
to have you see me in the Tombs this
afternoon without fail. even If you have
to represent yourself to be my special
counsel"
The letter referred to was received
yesterday. 1t Is in a woman's hand
writing. The letter was unintentionally
given to Thaw. The contents have not
been disclosed.
Mr.. Comstock called during the after
noon, but he was not permitted to see
Thaw.
DIR. Allen McLane Hamilton, the ex-
pert on mental disorders, who has been
retained by the defense, spent an hour
and a half with Thaw today
At the end of his examination DR..
Hamilton said he would make a conf
Dental report of his examination to
Judge Olcott.
