He Hit the Bookmaker.

Patrick Murphy had an afternoon
Of, 80 he thought he would go out to
see the horse races.
Pat had heard about the fortunes
made at the race track, so he thought
he would try his luck. He went down
stairs before every race, but didn't
find any odds that suited him until
the last race. 1t was a large gray
horse. / don't remember its name,
but It suited Pat all right, for 1t had
SOL after 1t.
Pat put up his dollar and went up
stairs to see the race. His horse won
by a neck. Pat hurried downstairs
with a lively step to cash in his
check.
It was the last race Of the day and
the bookmaker was anxious to get
rid Of his silver, therefore Pat was
paid with silver dollars.
Pat stood there few minutes fum-
bling over his handful of silver dol
lars, when the bookmaker hollered:
whats the matter. Irish? Don't you
think they are good?"
Pat said: "They look all right, but
I am just trying to see II can find
the bad one gave you among them.

green uniform within, one might truly
say: There is the star which led the
grand army That remarkable series
of victories, among which figured
Ulm, Austerlitz, Jena, Friedland, Wa
gram, Smolensk and Moscow; that
even more heroic resistance to defeat
which faltered not from the retreat
from Russia until Waterloo; that in
toxication, that mania for glory,
which possesses the whole nation;
the sacrifice by France of million of
her sons-all these things, 1t may be
said, Napoleon obtained with the aid
of strip of red ribbon and a jewel
Of Insignificant value"
Not alone the heroes In war were
awarded honors, distinguished merit
In civil life wore the proud emblem.
The order became such matter of
pride, object Of devotion, that 1t was
retained after the fall of Napoleon,
although 1t experienced many altera-
lions in the various political changes.
You may remember Louis XIV.
when he came to the throne showed
timidity about doing away entirely
with the Legion Of Honor, feared to
bring down on his head wholesale I'M
popularity. He made changes, how
ever; reduced the prerogatives, re-
placed the effigy of Bonaparte by that
Of Henry W, the eagle by the Bour-
bon feur-de-lys, the name grand eagle
changed to grand cross. When the
day Of Louis Philippe came, this mon
arch was satisfied with substituting
the tricolor flag for the fieur-de-lys
on the diverse OF the cross Napo-
leon III. made decided changes, but
retained the character Of the emblem
as reward for both military and civil
service. After the fall Of the second
empire, the government Of national
defense issued decree suppressing
the decoration of the Legion of Honor
as a reward for civil service. This
bill was revoked in 1872.
The order as constituted at present
dates from 1872, at that date reor-
ganized into five classes--chevaliers,
officers, commanders grand officers
and grand crosses. Attached to these
dignities are stlpends ranging from
$50 francs OF a cIievalier to 1900
francs in case Of grand cross. The
emblem Of the order is a star Of white

The Order Of the
Legion of Honor
Founded by the Master Of BateTo What Degree the Red
Ribbon Led the Observation-Disclosures Decorated

The recent agitation over the con-
ferring of the Cross of the Legion of
Honor upon Sarah Bernhard and the
recent comforting Of the Cross OF a
Chevalier upon Maj. Dreyfus, sets one
bordering about the value Of the dis
tinction, on the founding OF the Order
of the Legion of Honor.
1t was in 1902, when Napoleon was
in the height of his glory, the legion
was founded, but not organized until
1904. It was destined to become "a
prize for which the officers and men
in the Napoleonic armies were ready
to take the most desperate chances
on the field Of battle, and the man
upon whose breast the order was
pinned by the emperor himself, after
some hard won victory, felt that no
greater honor could be bestowed upon
him."
When Bonaparte proposed the crea-
ton of an order that should show by
awards the nations gratitude for re-
markable military and civil service,
the old republicans made criticism
that emblems and ribbons were but
the baubles of monarchy. This, Ma
poleon's retort: 1T is with baubles
that men are led"
Francois Coppee speaks of the in
auguration of the Legion of Honor as
marked by two profoundly touching
ceremonies; one celebrated in Paris,
in the chapel Of the Invalides, under
the splendid dome filled with souven-
IRIS of Louis XIV; the other at the
camp at Boulogne, where Napoleon
took the insignia Of the new legion
aries from Bayard's shield and out Of
Don Gueschin's casque. The Gallo
writer goes on to say, with true Gallo
fervor: From that hour, July, 1904,
the Legion of Honor shone on every
scene, in every episode of the Ma
poleonic epoch. When the emperor
passes on horseback among his SOL
diers, and gust Of wind lifts the
revers of his gray redingote and

Cleveland, o., Aug. 13.-Residents
of the heights in the eastern part
of the city Sunday witnessed the
most remarkable mirage Of which
there Is any record in this part OF
the country. Wonderfully clear
and distinct, the Canadian shore OF
Lake Erie, 60 miles distant, was
spread out before them in the sky.
The phenomenon lasted for more than
an hour and attracted the notice Of
thousands of people before 1t faded.
The inverted atmospheric picture was
so clear that the city OF Rondeau
could be plainly seen, the church
spires and principal business hous-
e. standing out in bold relief. Tall
trees and river emptying into the
lake could also be seen.

A popular article Of household furni-
ture among Americans In the Philip
pines Is said to be the "refrigerating
stove" This stove is designed to keep
people cool instead Of hot, explains
the New York Press. Just as we heat
our houses In the states In winter
with coal stoves, so the wanderer who
has set up housekeeping in the Philip
pines cools his house with a cold
stove. The cold stoves are made to
look something like an ordinary stove,
and, being fed with ammonia and
chemicals, give out radiations of cold
waves instead Of heat. One can Inn

on a cold night in the states they had

FAN OLD PAINTER's IDEAs."

The autumn season ID coming more
and more to be recognized as most
suitable time for housepainting. Thene
is no frost deep in the wood to maKso
trouble for even the best job Of paint.
Ing, and the general seasoning of the
summer has put the wood into good
condition In every way. The weather,
moreover, is more likely to be settled
for the necessary length of time to
allow all the coats to thoroughly dry, q
very important precaution. An old
and successful painter said to the
writer the other day: House owners
would get more for their money II they
would allow their painters to take
more time, especially, between coats.
Instead Of allowing barely time for the
surface to get dry enough not to be
'tacky,' several days i(weeks would
not be too much) should be allowed
30 that the coat might. set through
and through. It is inconvenient, OF
course, but. If one would suffer this
slight inconvenience, 1t would add two
or three years to the life Of the paint"
All this is assuming, Of course, that
the paint used is the very best to
be had. The purest Of white lead and
the purest Of linseed oil unmixed with
any cheaper Of the cheap mixtures,
often known as white Lead" and oil
which has been doctored with fish oil,
benzine, corn oil or other Of the
adulterants known to the trade are
used, all the precautions Of the skilled
painter are useless to prevent the
cracking and peellng which make
houses unsightly in year or so and,
therefore, make painting bills too fire.

AutomoblIIns In the Alps.

Automobiles In Europe are jubi.
liant. Heretofore they have been
barred from the glorious Alpine passes
between Switzerland and Italy, but
now the canton Of Valais has granted
permission to take automobiles over
the Simplon road, thus suggesting q
new use for the passes that have be-
come comparatively unfrequented
since the mountains were tunneled
for railways. To be sure, 1t Is only
on certain days in the week that the
road Is to be open for motor cars, and
they must leave Brigue before three
o'clock in the afternoon, and must
stop whenever there Is danger OF
stampeding cattle; but the wedge has
entered, and there Is reason to be-
Iieve that the other cantons will soon
follow the example of Valais. The
opening Of the Brunig pass, which
connects Lucerne with Interlaken,
will probably not be long delayed.
While there is thus growing toll
erance of automobiles, there seems to
be considerable opposition to the
multiplication Of mountain railways,
especially In the Engadine, where both
the Piz Langnard and the Piz Julier
projects have been voted down. The
Engadiners have also made up their
minds to rescue their scenery from
the ravages Of advertisers; the hotel
keepers have resolved to boycott all
firms that mar 1t with their placards.
The chief problem now confronting
these hotel keepers is how to per-
suade tourists that June and Septem-
Der are the most enjoyable months In
the Alps. Inasmuch as they daily
have to turn away applicants for
rooms in July and August their mo-
tives in giving such advice are apt to
be questioned. They might cite Rus
kin, says the New York Post, who
used to chide his countrymen for Wis
lting Switzerland in midsummer In
stead Of in May and June; but this
argument is apt to be spoiled by the
weather. The season was so late this
year that the Furka pass could not
be opened to traffic before June 3, or
the Grimsel pass till June IS, and the
first diligence over the Grimsel passed
between walls Of snow eight yards
high!

Some Brief Biographical Notes.

A man out in Rochester, Ia, says
Sarah Bernhard was born in this
country, lived here until a young
woman and that she has relatives In
a number of American cities. This
is quite true and it's surprising that
It should create any comment, re-
marks the Pittsburg Press. Sarah
was born in New York state and I'M
Ill five or six years old was a playmate
Of Isl Ann, the empress dowager OF
China, whose folks ran a lausdry In
the same block. The Togos and Ro-
testvenskys lived just around the cor
ner and all the members of the four
families were close friends. Sarah did
not appear first in Uncle Toms Cab

by descendant Of William Shakes
beare who lived In Kansas. Persons

coBURN CROP REPORT MADE.
Ninety Million Bushels Of Wheat This
Year.


Topeka Kan, Aug. 15.-The secre-
tary of the state board of agriculture
has issued monthly report on crop
conditions in Kansas. The Coburn re-
port estimates a yield Of 91,3S5,67S
bushels of winter wheat of high quail
ity or an average yield of 14.7 bushels
per acre. The government estimate
was 1873 bushels. This is twenty per
cent larger than last year and forty
one per cent larger than in 1904, and
Is the second largest in the states
history.
The fall wheat estimates are $780,
900 acres. The assessors returns
showed 6,214,0OO acres in fall wheat
and 1908 acres in spring wheat.
Twenty-Five counties raised more
than a million bushels each. Eleven
counties raised over two million bush
els each. Barton county raised A.
61S,150 bushels. Sumner county rails
ed 4,39O665 bushels and Reno
county raised 3,S62,145 bushels. The
largest yields were in the eastern
third Of the state, Nemaha county
raising thirty bushels per acre. The
corn acreage is G,5G2,S5G, which is less
than last year by 236,S99 acres. The
average condition Is eighty per cent.
In one-third of the counties 1t is ninety
to one hundred per cent. while in some
big counties the condition is poor The
whole is nine points better than the
June report. Harper county is best
with lis per cent. Sumner has 1O5
and Sedgwick 100 per cent. In Smith
county the condition is 80 per cent,
that county being fourth in acreage
planted. In Phillips county, seventh
