Lafayette and Amar,..

Marie Jean Paul Roch Yves Gilber.
Motier, Marquis de Lafayette, was q
young French nobleman who, ON hear,
ing that America had declared indie
pendence Of Great Britain, resolved ID
come over and assist US in the struggle
He was already an officer in the
French army, but obtained leave Of alb.
sence. On his arrival In Philadelphia,
then the seat Of government, in the
summer Of 1777, congress voted him
a commission as major general, though
he was not yet twenty-one years OF
age. He rendered distinguished service
to the American cause, especially at the
battle Of Yorktown, for which Wash
ington publicly thanked him the day
after Corvallis surrender. After his
return to his native land he took an
important part In the French rsvolu-
ton and the events which followed.
He returned to America In 1924 and
was most enthusiastically received in
each Of the twenty-four states and all
the principal cities. Congress voted
him 5000, 900 and a township of land
In consideration Of his former services,
his own fortune having been confscat-
cd during the reign Of terror-St. Louis
Republic.

M. P.,s at Sixteen.

1t does not seem very clear at what
period the legal age for members Of
parliament was fixed at twenty-one.
1t is, however, certain that in the
reigns of Elizabeth and James I. boys
of sixteen and seventeen occupied seats
in the house of commons The poet
Waller took his seat as an NJ P. before
he was seventeen. Charles James Fox
took his seat at eighteen and Chester
field before he came of age. This, how
ever, was clearly irregular, because It
is recorded that Chesterfield was
threatened with penalty of $500 for
sitting and voting in parliament while
under the legal age If he did not cease
his attacks upon the government. Lord
John Russell also sat before he was
twenty-one and he seems to have been
the last Of the parliamentary minors.
An act of William Ill, passed In 1896,
made the election Of a person under
twenty-one void, but the act was not
very stringently enforced. = London

Color blind.

John Dalton, without whose discov.
cry of the laws of chemical combine
ton chemistry as an exact science
could hardly exist was wholly color
blind. His knowledge Of the fact came
about by happening of the sort which
we call chance. On his mothers birth
day, when he was a man Of twenty
six, he took her pair of stockings
which he had seen in a shop window
labeled, "Silk, the newest fashion"
"Thee has bought me pair of grand
hose, john" said the mother, "but what
made thee fancy such a bright colori
Why, can never show myself at meet
ing in them"
John was much disconnected, bat he
told her that he considered the stock
ings to be Of a very proper 60 to meet
ing color, as they were q dark blush
drab
"Why, they're red as cherry, John, "
was her astonished reply.
| Neither he nor his brother Jonathan
could see anything but drab In the
stockings, and they rested In the belief
that the good wife's eyes were out of or
der until she, having consulted various
neighbors, returned with the verdict,
"Varra fine stuff. but uncommon scar
Lefty"
The consequence was that John Dial.
ton became almost the first to direct
the attention Of the scientific world to
the subject of color blindness.

A HOmesteader's OUTFIT When Caught
In the Quicksands.

HOmesteader's OUTFIT When Caught
In the Quicksands.
The movers" wagon, canvas covered
and travel worn, is always picturesque.
The travelling home for a family and
all their worldly goods, from furniture
to poultry, is still a familiar sight on
western roads. The spirit of dissatis-
faction and longing for newer fields
that turks under that broad brimmed
hat is spark of the same fire that has
been the theme of our history. By
some stream under the cottonwoods Of
an evening you may sometimes see this
half gypsy, and the FIRE, with its ac-
companying smell of bacon and beans
or the song and accordion, will suggest
as you drive by why the rowing has al
ways its destinations.
There are, however, the long dusty
days of travel and sore backed horses.
the occasional swollen fords, and al
ways present, though seldom encoun-
tered, are the quicksands of the dry
bottom streams. They are indistin-
guishable and silent The shallow rib
bons of water flow over them as over
all the rest of the river bed, but once
fairly in their grasp there is remorse-
less, certain settling, which a struggle
only hastens and which ends in an ever
lasting disappearance. Cattle and
horses are caught in 1t oftenest, and. II
seen in time can be pulled out with a
rope and horse, but into its hungry
nav have gone horses, wagons and
men. and even a locomotive, going
through a bridge has been known to
disappear In this bottomIess mystery

Involuntary Eleanor turned to the
grave face behind her Blair had not
spoken. He was looking at the cliffs
which frowned darkly against the glow
Of the sunset sky, and II suddenly
struck her how deep were the lines that
loneliness and pain had carved. Quick
ly she glanced down again at the adop-
ing small countenance on her arm.
Years before Blair's face had worn
that same look Of boyish idolatry. The
remembrance Of it touched her now as
his manly devotion had failed to do
"I'il keep the little heart always,
D1ckie," she said, rising from the sand
and STOPPING to kiss the boys forehead

Dickie anxiously. Eleanor smiled
strangely. The bit Of bisque had come
to her as token.
mo, Dickie Boy, l shall never break
any more hearts, l think-never any

gently: Blair. dear, I'd like to walk
up the hill and see the last of the sun

The man stopped at sight Of the
girls face. There was about It a
strange radiance that touched while it
uplifted him.
And as the two went up the hill to-
gether Dickie followed at respectful
distance. turning handsprings.

1t Came Hard.

In France, as in most other countries
it is necessary to give ones age when
making statement in a court of jus.
t1ce as well as in many other Official
proceedings. But Frenchwomen Of ma.
ture years are noted above all other
women for their unwillingness to stats
their age.
On one occasion lady who had tc
testify was accompanied to the court
by numerous company Of her friends
and when the magistrate asked, How
old are your" there was such cough
ing and clearing of threats as of people
suffering from severe colds that al
that could be heard in the courtroom
was "-ty years."
Through the amiability of the maSis
trate this more than half suppressed
response was allowed to stand, but the
tribunals are not always SO lenient
On another occasion a magistrate asked
woman:
what is your age, MADAME
Whatever you choose, SIR" answer
ed the lady. She was under oath.

made a mistake Of ten years In my

Put down ffty-five years, then,
said the magistrate. your RESIDENCE
"Sir," exclaimed the lady, my age
is thirty-five years, not flfty-fve!"
AT last we have your statement
said the magistrate, and he proceeded
with the examination.

Fully Armed.

A good story is told of young re-
cruit who enlisted in a regiment sta
toned at Aldershot. One day he was
on guard duty and was slowly stepping
up and down when an officer approach
ed. After the usual salute the ofacer
said:
"Let me see your rife"
The raw recruit handed over his rife.
and pleased expression stole over his
face. As the officer received the weap-
on he said in tone Of deepest disgust:
You're a fine soldierl You've given
up your rife, and now what are you
going to doy"
The young fellow turned pale and
putting his hand in his pocket drew
out big knife and, preparing for bust
ness, said in voice that could not be
misunderstood:
''Gi' me that rife or I'll bore hole
through you in minute"
The officer instantly decided not to
play any further with the raw recruit
and the rife was promptly surrender

The NIGER and the Geat.

A tiger once invited a goat TO dinner.
The goat was tickled to death at the
notice of the noble beast and wore his
spike tailed coat and link sleeve but
tons in token Of his appreciation. "Can
! help you to some of this venison
steakY' the tiger asked the goat very
cordially. The goat did net eat veniscn
steak, but he dissembled very cleverly
and preserved a smiling exterior. my
physician" he protested, positively
forbids venison steak" There was
nothing else on the table, and the poor
goat was compelled to sit idly by while
the tiger devoured a hearty repast.
But the goat was not disposed to de-
prive himself Of the sweets Of revenge.
He accordingly pressed the tiger to
dine with him the following evening.
"Can l help you," sweetly inquired the
host, ito some of this stewed tomato
cans, with brown paper saucer mo,
thank you" rejoined the tiger, ''my
doctor forbids." $50 sorry" murmured
the goat in secret glee. 'I fear you
will have only an unsatisfactory meal"
"Oh, l shall do very WELL" protested
the tiger. Whereat he fell upon and de-
voured the goat himself Alas" ex-
claimed the latter with his dying
breath, 81 was too funnyr' This fable
teaches that it is perfectly proper to
take an insult from some people with
out resenting it. It is all a matter Of
judgment

THE AGsLL Tiger.
He Ia "shOd With silence" and In a
QufCk ms Lightning

He Ia "shod With silence" and In a.
Quick as Lightning.
Most wild animals are specialists
that is to say, they are highly develop
ed In one particular direction. The
tiger is great as stalker. His feet
seem to be "shod with silence" R. 81.
Elliot, for many years a resident Of
India, cited an experience Of one of his
neighbors illustrative Of this point
He had been much annoyed by tigers
and at last tied bullock out in clear
Ing and took up his own position In a
tree to wait till the tiger should come
after the bait. The ground was COW
cred with dried leaves, which in hot
weather are so brittle that even the
walking of a bird over them can be
heard for good distance.
In no very long time a large tiger
slipped out Of the forest and slowly
edged toward the bullock. His method
was so elaborate and careful that the
man who saw 1t used to declare that
it would have been worth 1000 rupees
to any young sportsman to have wit
messed it.
So carefully did he put down each
paw and so gradually did he crush the
leaves under it that not sound was
to be heard. Between him and the bull
lock was a stump about four feet high,
with long projecting surface roots.
This, plainly, the tiger looked upon as
godsend.
He got upon one Of the roots, bal
anced himself carefully and so was
able to walk quickly and silently as
far as the stump. He approached SO
gradually and noiselessly and his col
or against the brown leaves was so
invisible that he was close upon the
bullock before he was perceived.
Then instantly the bullock charged.
The tiger eluded him and in moment
more had his paws on the bullock's
neck ready to drag him down. Then,
like flash, he caught sight Of the
rope by which the bullock was tied
and turned and sprang into the forest
all so quickly that the man in the tree
had no opportunity to fire.

"Robbine Peter to Pav P.v,-.

This saying had its origin In the
rivalry between st. Peters cathedral
now Westminster abbey, and St
Pauls, when, in 1850, an appropria-
ton was made from st. Peters to
make good deficiency in the accounts
Of st. Paul's. Much opposition was
shown to this, and it was for the time
popular cutlery, why rob Peter to
pay Paul?" The saying was revived
as a proverb upon the death OF VII
liam Pitt, earl of Chatham, in 1778 The
city Of London argued that SO illus
trious statesman should be buried at
st. Paul's, while parliament held that
the remains of so great a leader should
be placed with the dust of kings and
that to bury him away from the Abbey
Of Westminster would be again a rob
bing Of Peter to pay Paul.

The Alaskan is a richly colored black

Madison Grant claims that they are
also more complex and have In the
brow antlers a second palmation which
Is set at right angles to that Of the

he finds "a startling resemblance IL

moose-like deer Of pleistocene times,
