WHY CHILDREN ARE bad.

WHY CHILDREN ARE BAD.
Because they are hungry and
thirsty.
Because they have been given per.

Because they have not had proper
sleep.
Because their clothing is not com.

Because the room in which they
sleep or play is stuffy and i'll aired.
Because their parents break prom.

brides.
Because they are brought UP on a
negative diet of continual "No, no,
no." instead of an occasional good,
hearty yes" --Chicago Journal

UNIVERSITY GROUNDS
FOR EXPOSITION site

Seattle, June 23.-The university
campus as site for the Alaska Y uk on
Pacific exposition was unanimously
adopted by the executive committee
last night. The subcommittee ap-
pointed to examine the different loca-
tions which were under consideration
made their report through Director
General 1. A. Nadeau in favor of the
university campus, and it was voted
on by the full committee and passed
without single nay. In order to con-
form to the ty-laws of the exposition
the matter will be referred to the trus-
tees for confirmation at special meet
ing to be held Monday.
Although the matter was not brought
up at the meeting, it is certain that
no liquor will be sold on the grounds.
Under the state law it is impossible to
sell intoxicating liquors on the univer-
sity grounds, or within a considerable
distance of them.
The selection of the university
grounds has been almost foregone
conclusion ever since the site was
offered by the re gents. 1t is consid-
cred to possess maximum Of advan-
tages with minimum of drawbacks.

wealed-ROyal Regalia of Scotland
1t would be highly interesting and
romantic If, after all the centuries
which have elapsed. King Johns treas.

ago they ploughed up in an Irish field
the regalia Of some dead kings Of saw
age days; why not, then. the treasure
of the king from whom the charter was
wrung? Quite rs strange things have
happened. The Koh-i-Nur was lost for
six weeks, and turned up in an old ci-
gar-box; the English crown jewels have
been stolen, and sixty years ago were
only saved from total destruction by
fire by the heroism Of little band of

Westminster Abbey may have been at

those participating were prepared to
admit, says the st. James Gazette.
Who does not know the romantic
story of the royal regalia of Scotland

The castle was besieged and the gar

made repeated efforts to get his trea-

with which the castle was blockaded.

the closing session of the West Vir-
GINA Bankers Association, the fea-
lures were addresses by Secretary of
the Treasury Shaw and United States
Senator Elkins Of this state. The con-
vention was brought to a close by a
banquet at the home of Senator Elkins.
Senator Elkins spoke on the income
and inheritance taxes and said that
the twentieth century was getting
ready for the reimbursement of the in
terests Of humanity.
money in a certain sense is conse-
Grated" he said. money is an order
on the world for what the world pro-
duces, and in all countries and chimes
this order is always honored."
He declared that poverty and want
will yet be banished from the world.
He said:
"There is enough wealth in the
world now to prevent poverty. but we
have not yet learned how to distribute
it. We understand the ways of &C.
cumulation, but not of distribution.

and beneficial to commerce and bust

"Unrestrained competition in the
business world" he added "throws
society back on the cruel law Of the
survival Of the fittest, and in the end

Competition and individualism are the
parents of present conditions. Of trust

SOME TALES OF HORROR.
Stories Of the Uneasy Skulls of Mur-
dered Men and Women.

Stories of the Uneasy skulls of Mur-
dered Men and Women.
There Is a skull, said TO be that Of a
negro murdered by his master, Ko-
man Catholic priest, at Rittiscombe
house. near Bridport, in Dorcetshire,
says Notes and Queries. Several at
tempts. it Is said, have been made to
bury or otherwise dispose Of this skull.
with the invariable results Of dreadful
screams proceeding from the grave, un-
accountable disturbances about the
house. and other equally unpleasant
occurrences. An account Of the house
and skull, on the authority Of Dr. Rich
ard Garnett, will be found in lngram's
Haunted Homes and Family Le-
gends." In the same volume is a no.
tice Of another haunted house, Burton
Agnes Hall, near BridlingtOn. Here
the skull is that of n woman of the
BoyntOn family, who was attacked and
murdered by two rufflanly mendicants
in the sixteenth century. Before she
expired she implored her sisters to pre-
serve her skull in the family mansion,
which was then being built. This was
not done at first, but finally the sisters
were compelled to comply with the
strange request by the noises. resem-
bling claps of thunder, which resound-
ed through the house every night until
the skull was taken from the grave.
Several attempts have been made to
bury 1t, with the same results as at
Bettlscombe. At page 207 Is a rather
unsatisfactory account Of skull, said
to be that of murdered heiress, kept
at Tunstead farm house, near Chapel
en-le-Frith. Derbyshire.
'"rhe Skull House" Is the title Of one
Of Roby's TRADITIONS of Lancashire"
The house referred to is Worsley, or,
as it Is sometimes called Wardley hall,
an ancient building about seven miles
west from Manchester. 1t was an old
teat Of the Downes family, Of which
a member who lived in the seventeenth
century appears to have been in the
habit Of first getting more wine into his
skull than was good for him and then
brawling with his brother sons of Belial
In the London streets. In one Of these
nocturnal rambles he was killed and
his head was sent to his sisters as an
announcement of his fate. They In vain
tried to bury it. and were only able to
secure respite from the hauntings by
placing 1t in niche on the staircase Of
the hall.
The peculiarly horrible disturbances
at linton Sumpner manor house in
ITO have been narrated in more than
one collection Of ghost stories. The full
est account Is to be found In the Cen

LEGAL INFORMATION.

The constitution of Minnesota pro-
vldes that a homestead shall be liable

for work or material In the repair or

proper way to enforce such a claim Is
to sue upon it, get judgment. and then
get out an execution and sell the prop
erty.

serving any right to go upon the land

TROOPS IN REVOLT
Eleven Russian Carrisons Refuse to As
sist in Ruelling Disturbances.

Odessa, June 21.-Gen. Kaulbars
has received word from eleven of the
best garrisons in Russia to the effect
that the troops there are mutinCus and
have refused to act as police in quell-
ing street disturbances. The identity
of these garrisons is being concealed,
but all the facts have been telegraphed
to the minister of war at St. Peters
burg.
It can be stated on the authority Of
a general officer of the staff that the
reason the government has not carried
out its plan to mobilize 100000 Cos
sacks is the fear Of civil war. How
ever, these wild troops have been sent
to all points where trouble is feared,
and will be utilized in dealing with
any uprising that may take place.
