couldn't read music any more than he
could English, but he learned tune

BOYS, Use of Rarometers.

Every English schoolboy who can
afford it has barometer that he
keeps hidden under his bed or in his
trunk. for in all English schools ba-
rometers are strictly forbidden to the
pupils. Why should they be forbid
den? Why should they be desired?
Through the autumn and winter the
English schoolboy plays football every
afternoon, weather permitting. He
must play two hours each clear day.
These two hours are taken OFF his rec
itations. They make his school tasks
two hours lighter; hence when he
knows beforehand that the next day
will be clear lie may spare himself
two hours of useless study the night
before. Ills barometer pointing to

when the instrument points to

that there will lie no football. Thus
a boy with Il barometer has big adj
vantage. He often sells weather pre-
dictions at penny apiece.-Philadel

Careful estimate of the force of a
cyclone and the energy required to
keep a hurricane in active operation
reveals the presence of power that
makes the mightiest efforts of man
appear as nothing in comparison. "A
force equal to more than 100000
horsepower was estimated as develop
ed in a West Indian cyclone. This
greatly exceeds the power that could
be developed by all the means within
the range of mans capabilities. Were
steam, water, wind!ai!lS and the
strength of all men and animals com
bined they could not even approach
the tremendous force of this mighty
power.-Chicago Journal.

Norton Breaks Jail

On Friday night last Jess Nor.
ton, who shot Jose G. Duran on
the night of the food, made his
escape, by the assistance of friends
from the outside, from the Clifton
Jail, which is small structure
built of frame, and is still at large,
After tho coroner's inquest had
been held, and a verdict rendered
that the deceased came to his death
from a bullet fired by him, he was
arrested and placed in the lookup,
but at the time of his getaway
had not had his preliminary ex-
animation.
From all reports the shooting
was without the slightest provoca
ton. Norton was not an officer at
that time or afterwards, but ap-
parently desired to act in that
capacity and was posing as such at
the time he fred the shot. From
the best information obtalnable it
seems that Duran was holding his
lantern so that two men could see
to remove their own goods from a
wrecked building. Duran was
hunting for his brother.in law
whom he feared was lost in the
food, and when passing the build.
ing he was called in by the men.
He was a sober and reliable man,
who always paid his bills prom pit
ly, and had many friends in town
among the Americans as well as
among the Mexicans.
1t is hardly likely that Norton
can make his escape from the
country, as his description has
been forwarded to officers in var

A RESOURGEFUL MAN

If reports from Washington are
true, those who believe that Pres
ident Roosevelt will not turn a
"sharp political trick" while presi-
dent, may soon be undeceived.
Senators Foraker and Dick Of
Ohio, have been fighting for a
thorough investigation of the pres
ident's action in discharging the
colored troops on account of the
Brownsville affair. These senators
claim that the president exceeded
bis authority.
1t is now said that the president
has card up his sleeve that he
intends playing, that he thinks
will place the two Ohio senator's
in close corner and perhaps
compel them to abandon their
fight.
Word has been passed around
the senate that the president IN
tends appointing a negro to the
position of revenue and customs
collector at Cleveland, positions
now held by two white men. 1t
is quite likely that unless Foraker
and Dick abandon their present
fight, they will be compelled to
acquiesce in the appointment of a
negro to prominent federal posi-
tion in Ohio, or incur the enmity
of the colored population of the
state for turning down one of their
race after he had been selected by
the president.
1t isa wonder the president did
not think of an expedient Of this
kind when Foraker was making
his fight against him for the pres
ervation of Arizona.

dredth anniversary Of the birth of

The men and women of any
country are made better citizens by
the contemplation of the glorious
deeds of their ancestry; and to us
of the south whose leaders pos
sessed in marked degree all that
make men great, this is particular
ly true. General Lee, the ideal
soldier, statesman or christian
citizen; whether viewed in the
privacy of his family and social
life, or in the "fierce light that
beats upon Il throne" be stands
out possibly the grandest character
the world has ever produced; and
no occasion should be lost to keep
his memory green, and to induce
the boys and girls of the South
land to emulate his pure and holy
life.
He requests that sons of Confed
.SiiSsSSte Veterans, and the Daughters
49, Confederacy, all join with
the Veterans in thus honoring the
dead hero.
He makes no suggestion as to
the form Of the services, but he
desires and requests that they be
held on Saturday, January 10,
1907, at IL o'clock, and that the
hymns "How Firm a Foundation,
ye Saints of the Lord" and "For
all the Saints who from their La
Dor Rest" be used, thus having
simultaneous exercises in all parts
of the country.
The major general commanding
appeals to the press to give their
assistance in promoting this move
ment He feels confident that this
simple request will meet with the
hearty response that has ever
characterized this great power in
our land. Official.
