PsMAI coDDler and his vile, Win WHOM ne
S2sS&o lived, were not his friends. They
only kept him for the sake OF the
work he did. This work was gathering garb-
age in the streets and alleys for the pigs, which
were kept in pen in the back yard.
The cobbler and his wife were rich, but
very pen1urious. They grudged Peter the very very

so that he could no longer perform his daily
task, he would have been turned into the
street.
l have said that Peter had not friend in
the world 1t is true; and yet he had friend,
but he dwelt 30 far away that Peter would
scarcely have thought Of calling him a friend.
He had very bright countenanee-oh, far
brighter than any other one of Peters ac
too. Many people looked up to him, and no
one not even the king, stood so high that he
could look down upon him, for Peters friend
was the Man in the Moon.
Often Peter would go TO the garret, in which
he slept, very weary after hard days work,
but before he lay down on his bed of straw,
he would always open the window, and look
out at the beaming face Of the Man in the
Moon, up above the roofs and chimneys. above
the spire of the cathedral, away up among the
stars, smiling benignly down upon him.
One night, Peter, as was often the case when
the cobblers wife was out Of humor, had been
sent to the garret without his supper. He
opened the window, and looked out. The
nlBuL was very lHe SKY was OVERCAST
with clouds. and the moon was hid. Not a
star was to be seen. 1t had been raining all
day.
"Oh," cried Peter, and the great tears rolled
down his cheeks, how dark it is! The moon
and stars are hid. The sky is black. So it
is with my miserable life 1t is overcast
with clouds. 1 have worked hard, but the
cobbler beats me. j have tried to be faithful
and obedient, but the cobbler's wife scolds me
and sends me to bed without my supper. Even

Just then the clouds parted, and the moor
looked forth from between them. The edges
of the rifted clouds shone like silver, and tht
soft, radiant moonlight fell upon Peters face

so young. The clouds divided further and fur

Then Peter saw something that cleaned il
the moonlight coming down through the sky
When it came nearer, he saw that it was

PASSING OF THE INDIAN NATION.

The western portion Of maps Of the
United States in use half century ago
was covered with the names of Indian
tribes. There were the Sioux, the
Modocs, the Shoshones. the Flatheads,
the eros Ventures, the Crows, the Arapa-
hoes and many more. The boundaries
of their respective countries were indie
finite, but for all that the government in
Washington made treaties with the
tribes as if they were independent and
separate nations.
AS long ago as 1898 congress provided
that no purchase or grant of land from
the indians should be valid unless made
in pursuance if a treaty. Nearly 700
agreements were entered into with the
ninety-seven tribes, until this method
of procedure was ended by the act OF
1871.
When the lands of the Flatheads
Shoshones and Crows are occupied there
will remain no large Indian reservation
of Importance, and the Indians them
selves will have been absorbed into the
general population. Indian Schoo

This enterprise will take the place of the big car factory which the people back of the Newman company and Mis- sippi Central wanted to organize early in the year but were prevented from carry ing out by the action of the legislature in refusing to raise the limit on personal property holdings in this state by corpor- ations.

MOSQUITOES ARE USEFUL.
Just Discovered That They Are Good
 Chicken Food.

From the Washington Post.
 After centuries of being considered only pest, mosquitoes have at last been discovered to be useful members of the lower kingdom. They make good chicken food. It has remained for William A. Woodbury of 150 Fifth avenue, New York, to disclose this Important fact.
 MT. Woodbury is the man who gained notoriety a year ago by offering a re- ward of 5000 for married man that could prove that he was perfectly con- tented. The reward was never paid.
 MT. Woodbury has a summer home on Oak Island, just across the water from Long Beach, on Long Island.
 While I was sworn enemy at first" said Mir. Woodbury to a reporter yesterday, q now know that mos quitoes were sent here for some good purpose. I have discovered that mis- sion.
 ''There is nothing in the world that ducks and chickens thrive on so much as they do on flies and mosquitoes. "We all know that fles and other insects are attracted by light. Well, one night set up net with a large opening and a. brilliant light at the small end. The result was astonish- ing. The next morning the net was filled with mosquitoes. flies and bugs

pair of boots ever since he started the game. On the only occasion he left them off he was bowled for duck, and he has worn them in the cricket field ever since. He would not discard them now, although they are in a frightfully dilapidated con dition.
 The same deep-rooted belief Is centered in a pair of lucky bootlaces, a certain hat, or cap. P. F. Warmers caps have been the admiration of all heholders. Whether he attaches the same amount Of superstition to the wearing of these as the spectators do one can hardly say, but whenever he dons his striking parti-col- ored headgear he certainly seems to bat with far greater confidence
 Then there Is the superstition attached to grounds. The well-known terror of the Leyton ground for Yorkshire county crcx- eters has almost become proverh. It was emphasized in the recent nsatca against Essex, when Yorkshire was hard put to 1t to save the game.
 In the days of Tom Emmett. when ! lengthy partnerships were but little known, there was a prevalent supersti ton that if the fielding side sang in unison the song, even if rendered sotto voce. would have the effect of breaking up the stand at the wickets. Tom Emmett was a partner in great combined effort in front of the stumps one day when the vocal chorus was indulged in. If had not the slightest effect upon the cricketer, who smiled upon them all.
 Well, lads" he said. when they had finished. You are all right as cricketers, but don't think that any of you would learn cats-meat at the nigger busi- ness.

of different varieties. I fed them to the chickens. Other nets were set up in the salt marshes. Very soon there was notable diminution of mosqui- toes and we could sleep undisturbed.
 During the summer 1 have sue ceeded in catching about a ton of mos quitoes. What l propose to do is 10 organize a company, take the mosqui- toes, pour corn meal or shorts over them and grind them up with oyster and clam shells that are thrown out from the summer hotels. There is no more excellent chicken or duck food.
 "ln this simple manner l expect to obtain enough food for large hen nery all winter and materially cheapen the price of Long Island ducks and broiled chickens. while ridding the resort of the one-time pests"
 MT. Woodbury said he had submit ted his scheme to number of wealthy Long Islnad residents and that they will back him in the new project to any reasonable amount
