CARRYING OUT THE BARGAIN


1t was Mr.. Sedgwick's first visit TO
the new country home of his brother
ln-law, Mr.. Drake. and he was much
interested in the place. AS he and his
host were strolling round the grounds
after dinner, he asked, WHO was your
brawny friend who are with u.s."
/. "Oh. didn't l introduce you to Ole?'
"Yes, introduced him, but you
didn't explain him." was he smiling
reply
HE is an old Norwegian w~ood-chop-
per, and he has two more of my din
ners coming to him." Mr.. Drake
chuckled. ''The fact is, I'm not used 10

wood was muchIeasier than other wood.

be worth a cord to do it? l asked
".No,' he answered, for maybe 1t
would be hard and maybe 1t would be
easy

idle, useless things=were packed and
sent in the box, and In due time a let
ter OF thanks reached the church. Mrs.
Thorpe read it aloud in the missionary
meeting. At the close came a peculiar
paragraph.
And now, dear friends, I'm going TO
make a confession. l suppose you'll
think me terribly frivolous and unfit
for a ~missionary's wife, but there were

The Manchester Martyrs.

Along in '67 or ~thereabouts some
Irishmen tried to rescue Il bunch of
Fenian prisoners in Manchester, and a
police sergeant was shot and killed.
The prisoners got away, which may
have had something to do with the up
shot, too. The government was natur-
ally sore, and they managed to hang
three of the rescue party without too
much fine haired fuss as to whether
they had anything to do with the shoot
ing or not. At that time Fenians and
Nationalists were at daggers drawn,
and the church was heavy against the
Fenlans, of course, but they were all
one, one in agony and shame over those
Irish boys strung up in an English
town. All their helplessness, all the
bitterness of England's might, England
managed with those halters to drive
fostering deep afresh. Think of a town
the size of Dublin turning out a fun
eral procession Of 10000 people, and
think of how those C0.0O0 Irish were
feeling when 1 tell you they were quiet

fersons Secertsfy of State at the time of the nominating
convention of 1903, and James Monroe holding the same
portfolio undet President Madison when he was nomi-
mated In 1916.
Madison, Monroe and J. Q. Adams found the cabinet a
stepping stone TO the highest honor in the gift of the
people, but this political history has never repeated itself.
No man now aIlve can recall a time. however. when four
members of the same cabinet were prominently mention
ed as candida-es for the Presidency In the same year.
Secretary Corelyou, Secretary Taft and ex-Secretary
Shaw will fRd no president for the elevation of a ca5i-
net minister. ~ther than a Secretary Of State, to the Of
flee of President.
Superstiti0ds persons who may admire Mr.. Foraker
and Mr.. Knox will probably be impressed with the fact
that no senator of tie United States ever stepped direct
ly from his senatorial Office into that of the Presidency.
In fact only two or three ex-senators have been elected
President, although some of the most distinguished men,
bers of the upper house have been disappointed Sspi-
rants for the office. Among the Presidents who held Of
fee subsequent to the time of John Quincy Adams is to
be recalled Andrew Jackson, who resigned from the Sem
ate TO be a candidate for President, but who was de-
feated. That was in the campaign in which Jackson was
opposed by ]. Q. Adams. resulting in the election Of
Adams by the House of Representatives. When at last
Jackson was elected President he had been out of the
Senate four years-Utica Globe.

you Could slip on the Edge,

There was a tlme-centuries ago, Of
course-when the learned men Of the
world really thought that the world
was square-not merely fat, but that
1t was a cube. The primitive geogra-
piers of Egypt, Assyria and China all
taught that the world was a square
plane" One of the most curious dis
.coveries ever made in Central America
concerning Toltec beliefs, symbols, ETC.,
is that they also had a similar idea
concerning the form of what we now
speak Of as the globe" A writer on
the discoveries made among the nom
mental ruins of that country says 4:
'sThey (meaning the Peruvians. Toltecs
and Quiches) believed the world to be
a cube, suspended from the heavens
by cords OF gold fastened to each of its
corners"

President Castro. Esoti.m.

Many stories have been told of Cipri-
ano Castro, President Of Venezuela,
and of his monumental concelt. Dur
ing the Russo-Japanese war the fall
of Port Arthur was being explained to
him.
"Pshawi" he exclaimed. with 500
~Venezuelans l could have taken 1t in
four days."
With a thousand, In one day, your
excellency," said the diplomatic repre-
sentative of a European power.
Castro was so pleased at what was
intended to be sarcasm that, 1t is said,
the diplomat succeeded next day In Sc
curing satisfaction of a claim that his
government had been vainly pressing
for years.

MISS WAYLAND's CONTRIBUTION.
She Thought the Missionary's Wife
Might BE Human, Too.


Before the ladies in the vestry parlor,
engaged In packing the box for the
family of the Rev. Joseph Gordon, who,
In a far-away western field, performed
he duties Of missionary, teacher, law
yer and patriot for the salary of five
hundred dollars a year, there appear
ed a sudden vision. The vision was in
the most stylish Of new spring fashions,
from the top of her exceedingly expen-
slve hat TO the tips of her handsome
shoes. Beneath the hat her eyes were
half-apologetic and half-daring.
sI'ye brought my contribution" she
said, putting a package down before
Mrs. Henry Thorpe. 81 didn't ask you
this time what was needed because
well, because l struck. 1t came to me
suddenly how, IL l were a m~isslonary's
wife, l should loathe the sight of cotton
cloth and secondhand clothes-yes. and
new ones, too, when they're all so
dreadfully sensible and bought to last
and how I'd long with all my soul for
something frivolous. OF course" with
a sudden dimple, I'm not claiming that
| know anything about how mission
aries wives really feel. l suppose they
are all dreadfully good. and don't ham
ker at all after worldly vanities; but
still, l don't believe it will hurt. I'm
going now, so that you can disapprove
OF me. Good-by."
In dead silence Mrs. Henry Thorpe
opened the package. 1t contained a
two-pound box Of the best bonbons.
three of the latest novels, and a bit of
green pottery. The ladies looked at
each other in dismay.

Thorpe said, In honest distress.
"Novels-when the missionary must
so need new books" Mrs. Harper la
mented.

sigh, II suppose they'll have to 90.

The ..Realv Prosperity.

At the present time one cannot but
pause and marvel at the unparalleled
prosperity which now hovers over this
progressive nation. Every industry
throughout the country is flourishing as
never before, and a full dinner pail"
confronts every tradesman and laborer
who Is willing to toll. From East to
West and from Moth to South comes
the demand for men harvest time is at
hand and some Industries may suffer
for lack of help. There is no excuse
for a single idler in the United States
under present conditions, neither has
there been for some years past-but
just now the field of opportunity is
broader and better than ever. And
the end Is not yet; advancement is cer-
tain where confidence is SO pronounced
and general. The country is without a
serf or a slave, and with plenty of
work ct good wage should inspire ev-
cry one with c desire, from a political
standpoint, to leave well enough alone.
Just now there is a dearth of political
talk, but nevertheless it Is well to re-
member that invariably times are good
while the Republican party hold in.
And who would care to, or can truth
fully deny it? Let's have no thought
Of going back to the dark period of a
few years ago.-Wyoming Press.
