RELATED OF PURITAN BOYS
Youngsters we So Mischievous In
Meeting House "Pues" Had
TO Be Built.

II appears in various quarters that
the Puritan fathers had troubles OF
their own. In the book entitled He
reditary and Early Environment OF
John Williams" the author says that
in Roxbury, Mass, in its early settle
ment, as everywhere, boys were prone
10 mischief, and special rules were
made for their benefit.
In 1858, when the Westinghouse was
repaired, the new galleries were set
aside as seats for the boys of the con-
gregation. Here this element could
be herded under the eye and rod OF the
tithing-maD and within earshot of the
preacher. With all this, however,
trouble was brewing.
Before long several people COM
planned that they could not "sit in the
meeting house 10 their edification by
reason Of the disturbance the boys
made in the galleries. This COM
plant reached the town meeting; and
the selectmen were directed to con-
suit with the elders about removing
the boys, and cooping them up in some
place TO be built expressly for this
purpose, OF doing anything TO rem
edy this evil"
Exactly what steps were taken to
remove the boys and the evil so grave
ly confronting the town is not known.
but when John Williams was eight
years old a new Westinghouse was
built. In this structure provision was
made for the boys on some part of the
main floor. Some years later vote
was passed for ''pueing the meeting
house" and the people were given
liberty 10 build pues round the
meeting house, except where the boys
do sit"
BY this action il appears that the
boy question had been satisfactorily
solved by corralling that element in
some nook which was now entrenched
against the invasion of pews.

Consolation for the Melodies

II you are miserable because you
are not great think of the former
greatness of Rome and cheer up. For
100 years Rome was mistress of the
known world. To-day the language
Of the Romans has almost been for
gotten, and the Roman capital has no
commercial Importance, and is known
among men merely as a curio. The
Romans, noted as philosophers and
soldiers, who invaded and subdued
every nation known at the Roman
period, are now museum curiosities.
Fortunately they have been spared
the humiliation of Rameses H.: in
Egypt l saw the body of this great
ruler on payment of 20 cents. If you
are not great you will at least escape
the humiliation of having your body
exhibited 1000 or 1900 years after
death.-Atchison Globe.

LAND PATENTS HELD UP.
Forty-Two Thousand of Them Are
Stored Away in Vaults
in Muskogee.

Forty-two thousand patents to land
in the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations
are lying in the vaults of the commits
sion TO the five civilized tribes in Mus
kogee; duly executed by the governors
of the two nations, approved by the
secretary of the interior and ready for
delivery. The commission is holding
them under instructions from the sec
rotary of the interior and the tribal
officials assert that the secretary is
delaying action in hope of getting au-
thority from congress to take the de-
livery OF these deeds out of the hands
of the governors Of the tribes and have
the work done by government OFF,
Gals. The patents have been bone
OF contention between Secretary Hitch
cock and the Indian governors for
more than year. The Curtis bill, as
now pending, provides that the deeds
shall be delivered under the direction
of the secretary OF the interior TO the
party entitled TO receive the same"
and if this clause becomes law as IL
probably will in a short time, ii will
do away with all claims on the part OF
the governors 10 the right of making
the delivery themselves.

MADE THE PERFECT PEARL
Process Discovered by French Chem
ist Produces a Faultless
Specimen.

A French chemist, NJ. Tecla by name,
has recently succeeded after II years
Of research In discovering a process
TO scientifically produce pearl that
would equal the product of nature. The
fact that rubies and pearls have been
scientifically produced has stimulated
manufacturers of these precious stones
10 seek a duplicate of the pearl, the
popularity of which has been growing
steadily in public demand.
To this end perfect specimens Of the
pearl have been continuously sought
after, and in many cases fabulous
amounts are frequently paid for a
faultless stone. 1t is said that through
a secret known only TO himself M.
Tecla has succeeded in attaining his
ambition 70 produce what is apparent
ly a genuine pearl at one-sixth the
cost of the orient specimen, a cal
careous concretion, indestructible and
of the adamant quality and exact
weight of the real stone, with skin OF
fine and delicate texture and of a
clear, almost translucent color, with
the subdued iridescent sheen so dear
TO judges of these very fascinating
gems. M. Tecla has only recently I'm
ished the experimental stage and II
will be quite some time before his re-
suits will be brought before the public.
