that he would never live to taste any

The king laughed and had the slave

Hen CHANCES Color Of Feathers.

Prof. William p. Ellis. of Bucking-
ham county, Pennsylvania. is the pos
SCISSOR of a game hen which annually
changes her feathers to suit the vary
ing seasons. Early in the spring the
hen begins to show a few white feath-
ers, which continue TO get more and
more numerous until the first warm
days Of May. when she regularly turns
out in a suit of pure white.
This white dress she wears proudly
until the first days of early fall when
a few black feathers begin to appear
The black feathers increase as the
days follow each other and usually by
Thanksgiving she has resumed her
shining coat of black.

Superstitious Customs.

Many OF our customs date back to
the dark ages and are based on super,
stition. We sit up with our dead be,
cause long ago our ancestors kept
watch by night lest evil spirits come
and bear the body away.
We shake hands with the right
hand because that is the dagger hand
and means that we disarm ourselves
in the presence of a friend.
We bow the head in passing others
because our ancestors were wont to
bow before the real yoke of the op.
pressor. Men bare their heads be-
cause they had to unmask in the days
OF chivalry before the queen OF beauty.

LONG SLEEP ENDS IN DEATH.
Might Before End Came Patient knelt
in Silent Prayer.

Kansas City, Mo, July 5.-Death has
come to Thomas G. Webster after the
mans continuous sleep of a days He
dropped into slumber on Union "a
cific train between Denver anu Kan
sas City, and on arrival here was taken
10 the general hospital, where he died
A committee of doctors said his sleep
was fciencd. Some persons claimed he
was suffering from melanchola. But
against passing from his prolonged
earthly slumber into the last sleep it
was evident that Webster had pro-
test.
Though the only times he had ever
been on his feet at the hospital were
when the attendants forced him to
walk and supported him, yet the night
before he died he rose alone and knelt
in silent prayer, with his claspad hands
in front of his face. beside the cot OF
a neighborng patient. Even then his
eyes were closed.
Only two hours before his death a.
still more remarkable thing happened,
He opened his eyes and kept them
open. as if unwilling to start on sGchi
a Journey unadvised. The will not to-
wake or look upon the world was aban-s
doned, but he chung to his prerogativez
not to converse with the world, and
though his eyes were open when he
took his last nourshment he would not
talk.
Thomas c. Webster was well-to-do
mountain farmer at Horseshoe Bendyf
Idaho, and was en- route to visit n
brother at Gainesville. Ga. when just
out Of Denver he suffered a violent
nervous shock. When given an opiate
for this by physician on the train he
promptly fell asleep. His sleep con-
tinuing until he reached Kansas City.
the police here were asked to take
charge of him at the depot.
At the Helping Hand, where he was
taken. it was found Impossible to
arouse him, and the police ambulance
took him to the hospital.

cert and Fireworks.

was a great success. The day opened
with the sun shining brightly. and the
weather all through the day could not
have been better if made to order.
The different features of the celebra-
ton were pulled off without a hitch
and by many was declared to be the
most successful affair of it's kind ever
held in Gardiner.
The crowd kept increasing all
through the day and in the afternoon
at the water carnival the bridge was
packed with people and the shore on
both sides was one big mass of hui
manity. Coal barges and every
other available craft were taxed to
their full capacity. The piers of the
bridge also furnished seats for a
large number of spectators. 1t was
estimated t! at in all there W re ABOUT
$1,000 people witnessed the river car
nivaI.
The parade of fantasies in the morn
ing was even more successful than
the committee in charge anticipated.
The parade formed near the residence
of Palmer Noyes on Brunswick street
and led by George w. Cross represent
ing Lord Roberts. marched down
Brunswick street to Central, up Cen
trail to Water. down Water and up
Vine street to the Common. The
parade was fantastic in the extreme
and several of the make-ups were ex-
cecding'y funny. Among the features
of the parade, were lady drum corps.

Band, and a CalioDe which was q

attached. There was also team

hand organ and the monkey was a
feature Of the procession as was the
cinnamon bear and his keeper.
Immediately after the fantastic pa
rade the line for the big parade was
formed and was soon under way. 1t
was one of the largest and best pa
rades ever formed in this city and
great credit is due the committee for
the labor they put into it. The line
OF march was Water street from

Celebration Notes,

Gardiner passed this year on the
Fourth without any accidents.

nave near as much trouble as was
anticipated. The only exciting Incl

open fire on our police department the
man was arrested

the way they handled their part of the

seem to please the crowd as much as
any of the events.
Inc decorations about town were
very fine. among the protest decorated
buildings were the Cobbossee Inn
