Grub street. London.

On to the seventeenth century Grub
street was on the outskirts Of London.
It was a street tenanted by bowyers,
fetchers. makers of bowstrings and
everything else that appertained to
archery. Later on John Fox lived in
Grub street, though lie did not write
his famous Book of Martyrs there.
Fox's residence in Grub street occurred
about 1872. John Speed, the tailor
.archaologist, was a resident of Grub
ytreet, where he was famous as the
post responsible parent, having a fam
ry of twelve sons and six daughters.
Grub street of old and Milton street to-
day is noted for its great number OF
alleys and courts.
From Grub street issued such IA
nous old literary skits as Jack the
Giant Killer . tom Hickathrift." THE
Wise Men of Gotham and scores OF
others now a part OF every boys libra
~. Probably literary men first began
to populate Grub street in any num-
bers during Cromwell's time. Then a
great number of seditious and lfbelous
pamphlets were circulated, and as the
authors for safety had to seek obscure
living places they found a fitting re-
treat in the maze Of alleys which
webbed the Grub street section. At
any rate. by the commencement OF the
eighteenth century Grub street had be-
come quite notorious as the poor au-
thors' quarter OF London.

An American from Texas got into
trouble with a gendarme in the City Of
Mexico during the Spanish-American
wal, when foreign and local sentiment
was against the United States. The
offense consisted largely in the fact
hat the stranger was an American.
but he landed in Jail nevertheless. Not
wishing to see the Texan spend the
night in Jail. his friends sailed forth
to obtain his release. First they visited
the home of the American ambassador
and found he was out Of the city. Then
they went to the home of the English
minister and found him in bed. By
dint of insistence they succeeded in
getting into the house and were met on
the staircase by the minister himself,
arrayed in official pajamas. Carefully
Disgusting the fact that their impris-
oned friend was an American, they APP
pealed for assistance. "Ah," said the
minister cautiously, your man is In
Jail, is he? But tell me, is he a British
subject?" your excellency," said
General Agremonte, who acted as
spokesman, 'the prisoner speaks Eng
lish perfectly" "Ah," said the minis
ter, '.then the presumption is in his
favorr' Half an hour later. thanks to
the personal Intervention of the Brit
ish minister, the Texan was released
from the Mexican Jail.

The Tune Wa. Familiar.

An interesting anecdote is told Of the
old tune TO which a well known song
is now sung. The story runs that when
the army of the first Napoleon was In
Egypt In 1893 the camp for awhile
was neal the pyramids. m afternoon
about sunset the band was playing. and
the natives of the desert had collected
and were listening to the music. Moth
ing unusual happened until the band
struck up a tune which we now hear
under the name of I'VE Won't Go
Home Till Morning" Instantly there
were the widest demonstrations of Joy
among the Bedouins. They embraced
each other and shouted and danced in
the delirium of their pleasure. The rea-
son was that they were listening to the
fayorite and oldest tune of their peo-
pie. The tune had been taken to Gu
rope from Africa in the eleventh CEN
fury and had lived separately In both
countries for over 700 years.

Antiquity of Grains.

Nearly all the grains now in use are
Of unknown antiquity. Wheat was cul-
tivated in all ATTITUDES is far back in
the past as we have authentic knowl-
edge. Barley is thought to have origi-
mated in the Caucasus. but 1t was
known and used everywhere in the
most ancient times. Oats, like rye,
were unknown in ancient India and
Egypt and among the Hebrews. The
Greeks and Romans received 1t from
the north of Europe. Had there been
an early civilization on this continent
the wild oats found here and there
would probably have developed into
the useful cereal now considered abso-
lutely essential to the proper nourish-
ment of horses. This continent Is cred
tied with having given Indian corn to
the old world, but this useful cereal
was doubtless known in India and Chi
ma many hundred years before the dis
covery of America.

"a Beckett.

In 1888, when Henry VIII. rooted up
Thomas q Becket's grave and erased
his name from the scroll Of saints, he
also ordered that all pictures, stained
glass windows and frescoes bearing up
on the life Of this saint should be de-
stroyed. In some churches where st.
Thomas was held in special honor the
law was evaded by superimposing an
other picture over the forbidden one.
On the north wall Of the church at
South Newington, near. Banbury, Eng

this fresco is gradually disappearing,
and now through the colossal donkey on
which our Lord Is represented riding
can be seen the figure of the murdered
archbishop prone on the chancel steps.
Gradually. possibly. the whole under
lying fresco of the murder of ST. Thorn
as at Canterbury will come into view,
and it is evidently of far higher artistic
merit than the hastily executed cover
ing one.

Probably the mass of prison poetr,
which has been written ON stools ant
bedposts and scratched ON prison WALL
far exceeds that which has found ex
preston on paper, and many a mute
inglorious Milton" has begun and fin
ished his poetical career with these
'lost to sight" productions.
There is In existence a short poem,
said to have been scratched by q
maniac on the wall of his cell. which
runs thus:
Could ! with ink the ocean fill.
Were all the world Of parchment made.
Were every reed on earth a quill
And every man a scribe by trade.
To write the love OF God alone
Would drain that ocean dry;
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky.
The authenticity of this being the
work OF a maniac has often been ques-
toned because OF the beauty of its ex-
preston and its sound reason. but the
story stands--All the Year Round

n HAPPY KING.

"HE king Of Spain is happy-not be-
cause he wears a CROWN:
Not because he walks OF velvet
and his paths are shod with
Not because he yields a scepter and Is
greeted as Your grace"
BY the silver gartered gentlemen of high
and naughty place:
Not because the masses greet him with
their glad Long live the king"
For in these jocund voices often sounds
the traitors ringi
The king of Spain is happy just because
in dreams of rest
He saw a little baby dreaming on a moth
er's breast!
The king of Spain is happy. as all kings
of men are glad
When the household rings with revel OF
the lips of Little Lad.
When babyhood in blossom pours the
wonder of its bloom
Through the palace and the howell like a
rose of old perfume;
The king OF Spain is happy that a little
life in glee
Has come to hear the dreamy song and
dance upon his knee.
And grow in strength around him and go
forth with sword In hand
To keep the truce of kingship for the
glory of the landi
The king of Spain is happy-not because
his phalanx led
On the fields of splendid battle. treading
down the kingly dead:
Not because his banners glistened DER the
ramparts of the foe
And there came a wind of wailing from
the lips that wept in woe;
Not because he heard the trumpets waken
on the hills of morn
The triumph of the %pennants that his con-
q~uering hosts had borne:
The king of Spain Is happy that the dawn
of love has smiled,
And the tender hand that leads him Is the
hand of Little Child.

A Dog story.

An elderly clergyman living some
few miles from a market town and
somewhat absentminded withal was in
the habit of driving there weekly,
where he put up his horse at a partic-
ular inn. his dog always in attendance.
One day when returning with a friend
he was much annoyed to discover that
the dog was missing and insisted on
driving back to find him. The inn was
reached, and there, sure enough, was
the dog, and not only the dog. but the
parsons horse as well. The hostler
had put another horse into the vehicle.
but the dog, recognizing the mistake,
elected to stay with his animal friend
rather than return with his MASTER

In man the front of the lower jaw
bone possesses a well marked projec-
ton, known as the chin or mental
prominence, covered by a feshy pod OF
corresponding shape. In all other back
boned animals the Jawbone slopes back
without any such protuberance. 1t Is a
singular fact that the presence OF a
well marked chin Is associated with
firm character and well marked intel
lectual qualities. This is n of the
best founded rules In character delinea-
ton by physiognomy. The late Profess
or Huxley used to illustrate the matter
by drawing a profile with good chin on
the blackboard and then wiping out the
chin and replacing it by a receding
curve. Any one who repeats the expert
ment will be surprised at the result.
The reason is not clear, but we may
perhaps say that a well developed jaw
is associated with good digestive pow
ers, which have more to do with char
acter than one might at first sight sup
pose.

Not of Our killing.

When Senator Gallinger was practic-
ing medicine in his New Hampshire
home, be had a coachman who was a
character" worthy of the attention
of any writer of fiction. On one occa-
sion DR.. Gallinger was called profess
sionally at a house next to a residence
ON which was displayed black Grape as
a sign of death. A passerby, noticing
the Grape and not knowing who had
died there, supposed DIR. Gallinger was
in the house and that his coachman
could give the desired information. The
coachman seemed to take the inquiry
as a personal affront and bristled up
In martial style.
Il don't know" he retorted prompt
". 'It's not of our killin'-it's not Of
our KILN"
Then he pulled his horse up so as to
avoid any further suspicion that he
was waiting for the doctor to come out
of the house with the badge of mourn
ing.-Washington Star.

question and there are some here
who insist that the people should
vote on this question here, but the in
sincerity of that insistence viii be
shown election day, when they go to
the polls aud vote against the Pro-
hibition candidates. The Harmer
ticket has not declared itself against
license. The Prohibition ticket
stands against license. 1t would
thus seem that those who are so
anxious that the saloons be voted
out OF Clarksburg should vote the
Prohibition ticket, but they will not
do so-not even some of the preach
ers who say they are against the
saloons. Even some OF those VINO
say they are so anxious for the
saloons to be ousted will soon be
found trying to get the Prohibition
ticket withdrawn. There is another
sample Of their inconsistency.

The Harmer paper is again play
ing on its imagination and has its
fake factory in full operation. It's
latest is. that Chief of Police Scott
would resign. If reelected. 1t said
something of the sort some twelve
months ago. but Mr.. Scott did not
resign, nor will he this year. To the
contrary he states that there is abb
solutely nothing in the statement
made by that paper that he will re-
sign. The fake factory turned out
another spurious article, when it
said he was no longer a resident of
the city. His address is at 337 East
Pike street and he has resided there
the past several years. He lives
there and has not resided any where
else during his term as chief of po-
line. Such Misrepresentation are
SO reprehensible that they do the
Hammer ticket harm and not the Re-
publican ticket.

Notwithstanding the references
to the kind of verdant cheese the
moon is composed of. the books of
the city of clarksburg show in plain
figures that Mr.. Harmer has made a
deficit in the judiciary department
while he has been in office and that
Mr.. Grille made net surplus of
nearly four thousand dollars during
the year that he was mayor of the
city. These figures plainly show up
Mr.. Harmer's ability in the manage
ment of that department as compar-
ed to Mr.. crile's and none win deny
the fact that Mr.. Harmer's financial
management has been utterly in
efficient.

Harmer's Thin Story.

That is very thin story the Har-
mer paper has about Grille and the
gas and electric light franchise, the
West Fork river and the water
works. That paper ought to know
and shows culpable ignorance in not
knowing that the Standard OIL com
pany does not own the West Fork
river as 1t says it does. That COM
pany has no Jurisdiction, whatever,
over the dam the city built as the
Harmer paper ought to know and
probably does know, burt will not
nave the honesty to admit 1t. Mr..
Grille in no Way ever tried to have
the water works sold. To the con-
trary he opposed proposition made
by some to buy it. And as to the
Clarksburg Gas & Electric Company's
franchise being turned over to the
Fairmont & Clarksburg Traction
Company, the man who will stop to
think moment can see how ridicu-
lous is the statement.
In the first place the traction
company is fully equipped, does not
want 1t and has no intention of seek
ing such. In the second place, there
are men in the council that are hold
overs, some of them elected on the
reform ticket, who would oppose
such movement. Again, there are
men running on the Republican
ticket with Mr.. Grille for council.
who would oppose such movement
to the bitter end. If such step
were to be undertaken. So far as
can he ascertained there is not a
single candidate on the Republican
ticket for council who would not be
opposed to such a proceeding, and
with these the facts, one sees the
falsity of utterances made by the
Harmer mouthpiece in these particu-
lars.
This is sample of the product OF
the Harmer fake factory and his
iunkies. 1t is not honest politics
and those who concoct such misrep-
reservations viii be in no wise heed
ed. It would he better for Harmer,
were his mouthpiece and flunky fol-
lowing to cleave to the truth, for
every time they make up such stun

merits of city government, as well
