He Was the Man,

Shortly after the civil war Sen
ator Vance was lecturing in Boston.
Fellow citizens" he began, "you
are my fellow citizens. We all be-
long to this great country. We of
the south wanted to leave you, but
you would not let us go, and now
we are with you to stay. l belong
to you. You belong to me-"
A voice in the rear of the hall
cried:
@Aren't you the man who said
one southerner could whip ten Yam
KEGS with a cornstalk ?"
Instantly Vance replied: eyes,
my friend, I am the man. l said
that one southerner could whip ten
Yankees with a cornstalk. / be-
lieved it1then, and L believe it now.
The trouble was that the Yankees
didn't want to be whipped that
way"

The Planet Venue

Venus is the earth's nearest plan
etary neighbor and on that account
is an interesting subject. Her great
est distance from the sun is 81, 705,-
900 miles and her least 66,7s7, 900,
which makes her orbit nearly circu-
lar. At times, when she gets be-
tween US and the sun, she is only
4, 100000 miles away. At another
time, when the planet is beyond the
sun in q straight line from Us, she
is 100000 miles from us. We
nus is 1900 miles in diameter, which
makes her volume 80 per cent that
of the earth. On the earth falling
bodies travel 1909 feet the first sec
ond; on Venus only 1919 feet. We
nus receives twice the light and heat
that the earth does, and her year is
only 224 days and a fraction in
length.

In Gutenbergs time the city Of
Prague was famous for its manufae-
lures and mechanical inventions. In
the books Of the university several
Gutenbergs are entered, and among
them is John, who may reasonably
be supposed to be our inventor. Aft
er the failure of his first printing
press he seems to have returned to
Prague for the purpose of improv-
ing himself in mechanical invention.
But the history of his first printing
press is interesting. He hired a
room In Strassburg and proceeded
to carry out his idea Of multiplying
block books by means of movable
wooden type. These books were
very numerous and In great demand,
and Gutenbergs intention was to
manufacture them in considerable
quantity for sale at the approaching
septennial fair at Aka hapelle.
In order to conceal his purpose
when his employment was inquired
into he took advantage of a double
meaning and said that he was man
ufscturing mirrors or looking glass
e for sale at the fair, some of the
block books being known as specula,
such as the "Speculum Salvationis. I"
Gutenberg borrowed money of a
family named Dritzehn, and one Of
them entered into partnership with
him.
At first Gutenberg taught the art
of cutting and polishing gems, but
Dritzehn and a friend of his, one
Helmann, noticed that he worked in
secret at some other art, but before
Gutenberg would reveal it he re-
quired fresh terms, which were
granted. The affairs of the partner
ship did'nO proceed well. Dritzehn
died, and his relations In 1889
brought an action against Guten-
berg Tor the recovery OF the money
advanced by them.
Gutenberg attempted to form his
type by casting, but the casts were
not sharp enough for printing. He
consulted a worker in metals Faust
Of Msyence), who at once saw the
value of the invention and advanced
money to Gutenberg on the strength
of it. FausFs apprentice, Peter
Schoefer, overcame the difficulty,
and his master made him his part
ner and son-in4aw, and the two
men, ignoring Gutenberg, appropri-
/ sted his invention and thus obtained
fame and wealth.-Notes and Que

read:

GOVERNMENTAL BAIT.

There have been several arrests and
convictions of postal employees recently
for stealing from the mails. The postal
thief Invariably works under a delu-
sion that he will not be discovered, al
though he knows perfectly well that
complaints of valuable missing letters
are always made to the department,
and that the departments machinery for

says he, the offenders keep on just the
same until the time-wOrn but deadly
certain "decoy letter" lands them In the
penitentiary, high and dry, to wonder
why they were so weak and foolish as
to bite at it.
This decoy letter Is such simple
thing one may wonder at its effective
ness. Yet it is the greatest silent
thief-catcher in use by mankind. The
postal thief, emboldened by early sue
cesses, goes on merrily until the limo
cent-appearing decoy letter Is silently
slipped in the mails to find it's way
surely to his hands.
The thief does not always ''bite" at
the first letter. Another Is sent, and
then another, all containing the COW
eted cash. At last. sooner or later. one
lands in the pocket of the dishonest
employee and later becomes document
airy evidence against him.
The decoy letter contains all the out
ward and inward appearance Of an or
binary piece Of mail intended for some
private citizen or business house whose
mail is being tempered with. But their
private earmarks are as big as house
to the inspectors, and when they are
shown up in court, l reckon they look
twice as large to the thief on trial

HOW HE SAVED HIS GOLD.
Yosemite Bandit Passed By 800 to
Get 80 Cents.

Yosemite Bandit Passed By 800 to
Get 80 Cents.
]. V. Dusenberry was one Of the vic
Tins of the Yosemite bandits who held
up the passengers Of five valley stages
in one continuous performance, says
the San Francisco Chronicle.
Dusenberry lost only 80 cents, but
on his person when the highwayman
searched him were ten $40 gold pieces
and a gold watch and chain.
Dusenberry had left the stage short
ly before it reached the bandits am
bush. He was following slowly be-
hind, gathering wild flowers and in
tending to take cross country path
later on and head off the stage, which
was obliged to follow the tortuous
road.
The highwayman stopped the FIVE
stages one after the other. As he stop
ped one he ordered the driver to pull
off the road in such way as to con-
cealthe coach and horses from the stage
following. The passengers he lined up
behind a clump of trees. Dusenberry,
ignorant of the excitement ahead, was
dawdling along enjoying the beauties
Of nature and adding blossom by bios
som to the bunch Of wild flowers In
his hand.
He turned sharp bend In the road
and found himself looking into the
barrel of rifle. Behind the rifle was
tall, STOPPING figure with head, face
and neck swathed in cloth. Through
one of the crevices in the face cover
ing cleaned an eye.
Hands up!" came in quiet tone
Of voice from another crevice.
''Now stand at the head of that
line," continued the voice.
The highwayman then resumed the
operation of stripping the passengers
of their wealth which Dusenberry's un-
expected appearance had interrupted.
Instead of standing at the head of
the line, however, Dusenberry saunter-
ed down to the other end and Joined
those who already had been robbed.
Behind thefriendly shelter Of a wom-
ans parasol Dusenberry made a rear
of his personal property.
The 500, part Of which belonged to a
fellow traveller, and the watch and
chain he dropped inside the waistband
Of his trousers and sudden chill
around the ankles told him OF the safe
arrival In his socks Of his valuables.
It was not until all the passengers
had been ordered back into the stages
that the bandit remembered Dusenber-

Why John d. Rockefeller IL Rich.
Gossip over surplus oil production In
certain western districts recalls q char
acteristic answer made by John D.
Rockefeller to question put to him
by friend at time when the oil
boom in western Pennsylvania was at
its height. Oil was flowing like water,
and prices were going down rapidly.
Rockefeller instead of suspending pur-
chases of petroleum, bought until the
tanks of the Standard Oil Company
were taxed to the utmost of their ca
pacity. He built other tanks and
bought more Oil, and producers encour-
aged him in his efforts. The Standard
Oil king was then looked upon as
man suffering from an incurable form
of insanity. Oil was selling at figure
far below the average price paid for it
and there seemed no market for the
millions Of gallons in the tanks owned
by Mr.. Rockefeller. One of his asso-
ciates became alarmed. He sought out
Mr.. Rockefeller and proceeded to
quietly lecture him on the bad bust
ness move he had made and closed by
predicting ruin.
"John," said the associate, what do
you propose to do with all this oil?
The refneries could not work it out
In hundred years"
my dear man." replied Mr.. Rookie
Teller, 1.-THE Lord put nothing in this
earth without furnishing one man or
set of men brains to utilize it to adj
vantage and profit"
To cut the story short John d.
Rockefeller made millions out OF what
looked like transaction that would
end in the bankruptcy courts.
