The climax of natures irony in the
arctic is the cotton plant, says the Cir

cotton, the white, silky tops sWaying

blossom is silky, dainty, Elusive as the
down of our own yellow dandel lion.
From the beginning of June on until
August the tundra is white with the
cotton plant. Unlike the cotton Of the
southern states, the fiber is short and
soft, having more of the texture of silk
than of cotton. 5$ u

Diamonds in His Shoes.

The statement was recently pub
lished that a certain set of fashionable
young men were wearing diamonds in
their shoe tops. Diamond ornaments
in shoes bark back to the days of the
Revolutionary war and were worn by
merchants of Boston i'll those days.
Thomas Russell of Charlestown, who
died in 1886, was one of the most &C
tive of business men of his day in Bos-
ton, and the first to engage in the
American trade with Russia after the
revolution.
His dress was typical Of his time
and is thus described in an old print:
HE usually wore a coat of some light
colored cloth, smallelothes, diamond
buckles at the knees and in the shoes,
silk stockings, powdered hair and a
cooked hat: in cold weather a scarlet
cloak"

calls, and not until the season just
past had he been induced to see the
advantages of the automobile. With
much persuasion he purchased one,
and, although it was a light runabout,
with one gear lever only and the usual
throttle and spark levers, his timidity
did not leave him, and for at least two
weeks after his venture he had a
chauffeur ride around with him. Some
how he could not adapt himself to the
machine, and when he made a call OF
any distance he used his horse.
One afternoon he took me out into
the country for a pleasure trip rode

he was cautious, our pace was very
good indeed. We decided to return
home and were winding through the

Without the least show of fear or

he faced the sun he patted his neck

shrewdly guessed that the horses I'M

Instantly the charger ceased his

whip, galloped him over the field I'M

Alexander rode his brave steed back
to the palace, and e after rode no
other horse. He named him Buce-

head a black mark resembling the
head of an OK. When he set out upon
his conquest of the east he took
Bucephalus with him. He rode him in
all the battles of the Persian cam

and at Arbela, and the gallant horse
bore him safe through all dangers.
No one save the hero ever mounted

Alexander had him buried with the
honors due a royal prince and built
a city to his memory. If you will turn
to your classic atlas you will find a
city in Persia named Bucephalia.
There Bucephalus was buried, and
this is the city that was named in
honor of one of the most famous
horses in history.

One summer morning more than
1920 years ago, as King Philip OF
Macedon and his officers were in the
field reviewing the cavalry. a man
walked up to the royal circle, leading
a magnificent white steed that
champed its bit and paved the ground
like a very Pegasus.
rs your horse for sale, Sir Thes'
salian?" inquired the king, who seems
to have known the stranger.
Eyes" answered Philoncis, eagerly,
"but only kings can buy him."
Your p~rice?"
Sixteen talents" (about s16,000).
"He is of Thessalian breed and feet as
a deer.
Ills a goodly steed," said the king,
musingly, but you ask too much.
However, we will make a trial of him,
and if he suits us we shall not quar-,
rel about the price. Here, Perdiccas,
will you mount THIS T~hessalian
charger and test his speed?"
The officer addressed, a young
Macedonian, wearing a tall crested
helm and an embroidered mantle,
turned to obey his sovereign, but as
he approached the steed plunged so
furiously and appeared so unmanage-
able that Perdiccas was glad to with
draw for his own safety.
Several mobiles essayed the feat, but
none successfully. The white steed
snorted and fumed so viciously that
they dared not approach him. He
seemed all at once to become a demon
of fury, not only resisting all at
tempts to mount him, but turning
fiercely upon all the grooms if they
even spoke to him.
"Sir P~hiloncis, l would not take your
fiery Thessalian steed as a gift" de.
clared Philip, angrily. you intended
to cheat me. Take away the savage

OF DAYS, OF SHAME
NouRsE HOUSE REMINDS NEW
ENGLANDERs.
In Old Structure Rebecca Nourse Was
Arrested as a Witch and Later
Hanged at Salem in Time of
Popular Insanity.

There is not in all New England a
house having sadder associations than
those that cluster around h old Re-
becca Nourse house in Danvers, Mass.
20 miles from Boston. One cannot read
any extended account of the terrible
%witchcraft days in Massachusetts With
out finding some account of Rebecca
Nourse, who was taken from this
house to die because she was supposed
to be a witch.
The Nourse house is n of the old
est houses in New England. The exact
date of it's erection is moi known, but
it is believed that it was built as early
as the year 1885. The builder was a
man named Bishop, and he sold 1t to
Francis Nourse. Rebecca Nourse was
the wife of Francis Nourse. She was
arrested in this house on the charge oil
being a witch on March %, 1892. Of
course, the poor woman protested her
innocence, but this did not keep the
justice before whom she was tried in
the nearby town of Salem from COM
hitting her to the Salem Jail. This
jail is still standing and is now a part
of the residence Of Abner GoodeH OF
Salem.
Poor Rebecca Nourse remained a
prisoner in the Salem jail, with others
accused of witchcraft, until April ii,
when she and her unfortunate COM
panions were taken to Boston for trial.
The jury brought in a verdict of not
guilty, but the %witchcraft delusion was
at fever heat at that time, and a vio-
lent protest was made against h YER
dict of the jury. The mob in and out
of the court room became so violent
and made such threats that the jury
withdrew and soon returned with a
verdict of guilty.
Rebecca Nourse vas then taken
back to Jail, and on July 3 following
