Walk a Crack?

Most men cannot walk in a straight
line with their eyes open, and none
ever lived that could do so with his
eyes shut Try it. 1t is an aged say
ing that a man follows his nose, and
there never was a nose since Adam
that stood straight in front Of face.
All Of us are afflicted with either sin
istrotorsion or MISUNDERSTANDING is, in
walking we veer either to the left or
to the right. 1t cannot be helped. Set
up two posts on the lawn and bet a
million that no man or woman in the
crowd can walk from one to the other
without anfractuosity. There's a swell
word for you. Anfractuosity-tha is
where you get a wiggle on-walk wab-
bly.-Bangor (Me.) News.

Suffered For His Chickens.

In London as fer back as 1901 a city
ordinance was passed to suppress the
early morning cries of the street buck
sters. This law was so severe that a
person arrested twice for the same Of
Tense could be imprisoned for ten
years. There is one record of a man
lingering in prison for ten years.
When his time was up he was asked
what his crime was.
For selling chickens that sQuawk-
ed" was the reply.
In the confusion of the trial the fact
was not brought out that the chickens
and not the man were responsible
for the din that aroused the wrath OF
the disturbed citizens

Din God We Truot" Suggested by
kjaryjaCd Farmer.


Maryland Farmer.
To an honest, God fearing farmer OF
the state Of Maryland is due the mot
TO, I'm God we trust" which appears
on the coinage of the United States
In 1851. when Salmon p. Chase was
secretary of the treasury he wrote to
him that as we claimed to be Chris
tan people we should make some suita
BILE recognition of that fact ON our
coinage.
The letter was referred to James
Pollock, director of the mint, who dis
cussed the matter in his report fol
1862. Congress was apathetic, and
Chase mentioned it to the lawmakers
again in 1868:
The motto suggested, In God oul
trust is taken from our national
hymn, The Star Spangled Banner
The sentiment is familiar to every citi
zen of our country. 1t has thrilled
millions of American freemen The
time is propitious; It's an hour of ma
mans strength is weakness. when our
strength and salvation must be O!
God"
AS a result a two cent bronze piece
was authorized by congress to be coin
ed the following year, April %, 1864
and upon this was first stamped the
motto, "In God we trust" BY an act
of March 8, 1865, it was extended to
other coins.-Minneapolis Journal.

HABITS OF SPIDERS.
"Do Those Insects Sleep?" Is Not an
Easy Question to Answer.

"Do Those Insects SIeep?" Is Not an
Easy Question to Answer.
The question, do spiders sleep at
night?" is not easy to answer. 1 have
made a careful observation of the sleep
of ants, and that could readily be done
| by watching colonies in their artificial
| formicaries. 1t is almost impossible
| to deal with spiders in the same way.
l would answer, however. in general
terms that spiders sleep, as all animals
do, and doubtless parts of the night
are spent in slumber. Many species.
however, prey on the night flying in
sects, and so must be awake in order
TO catch their prey. If you will watch
the porch or outbuildings of your home
on summer evening you will be likely
to see an orb weaving spider drop
slowly down on single thread in the
gathering dusk of the evening. From
this beginning a round web will soon
be spun. and either hanging at the
center thereof or in a little nest above
and at one side is the architect, with
forefeet claspng what we call the
trap line" and waiting for some night
flying insect to strike the snare. In
this position spiders will sometimes
wait for hours, and ii is just possible
that they may then take little nap.
They might easily do that and yet not
lose their game. for the agitation Of the
web would rouse the sleeper. and then
it would run down the trap line and Sc
cure it's prey. Some species of spiders
do the chief part of their hunting at
night, and there are some who chiefly
hunt during the day; but, as a rule,
these industrious animals work both
day and night.-St Nicholas.

AN CDD SUPERSTITION.
British Fishermen BsIk at the Name
of Graham.

of Graham.
One of the most curious of British
fshermen's superstitions, the one which
perhaps to this day has the strongest
hold upon them, is that connected with
the name of Graham. No fisherman
will go To sea if he has heard this
name mentioned nor will he do any
manner of work upon that day. He
will refuse to sail in a boat with any
one bearing the name, and house
painter from Newcastle called Ora
ham, who had been sent to do some
work in one of the large houses. found
his life made go unbearable by the vii
layers that he incontinently returned
to the town leaving his work uncom-
pleted. The women who bait the lines
in the winter will unbait every hook
and rebait the whole length-the labor
of hours-if they hear it mentioned. A
local tradesman bearing this unfortu-
nate patronymic is never referred to
save as Puff" another, an innkeeper,
is known as Lucky Bits No ration
al explanation is to be found. On one
of the most intelligent fishermen being
questioned on the subject he laughed
the idea to scorn. Why, his daughter
was married to a Graham. But, he
added, q strange thing happened two
years ago when he was off at the her
ring fishing and had not been home
for some weeks. Having received a
letter at Shields TO say that his son-in-
law was ill, he hailed a passing boat
which had come from the north, ask
ing If they had heard how Jack Ora
ham was. and, wad We beleev't, ne

PHOENIX, ARR. FEB. Il. 1907.
THE SAN FRANCISCO SCHOOL
SETTLEMENT.

The settlement Of the san Francisco
school question which congress seems
now about TO make possible VIII in a
short time be unsatisfactory to all par
ties concerned. Though the exclusion
Of japanese Iaborers is left to the dis
erection of the president the principle Of
exclusion recognized in the immigra-
ton bill will be as injurious to the
dignity Of the japanese as if the bill
containd a definite clause describing a
class Of japanese who should not enter
the United States.
Though there is no doubt that the
president when the power is placed in
his hands Will honestly carry out his
understanding OF his agreement with
the Californians any departure from a
rigid exclusion Of all japanese laborers
will be interpreted by the Californians
will be regarded as a violation Of the
convention between the president and
Mayer SchmitZ. 1t is not to be eX-
pecteH that the president will order the
exclusion Of all japanese IabOrers for
a rigid exercise Of the discretion lodged
in the president OF the United States
would be a greater affront to the Jap
anese people and government than any
discrimination against them by the
school board Of san Francisco or the
people Of the state. beyond the control
OF the federal government could be.
In the meantime the principle respOn-
slble for all this controversy has van
ished. It was the claim of the school
board that the oriental schools were es-
tsblished FOR the reason that II was
better for the morals and the education
OF the white children that the Mongo-
lians be separated from them. If that
reason was ever d good one and on the
face Of it it was a most reasonable one.
it is just as good now. After all the
series Of confabs at the White House
the white children will be as likely to
be contaminated by association with
the orientals as they were before.
The settlement leaves the relation Of
the state Of California to the federal
government as indefinite as it became
when the assumption was set up tina,
the latter in certain circumstances
might direct the conduct of the schools
q the former.
That very interesting contention need
not have been withdrawn in the settle
ment. The test case should have been
permitted TO proceed in the courts
where it was well under way for the
question is very likely to arise again
before very long.
