Wizards Warning.

The traditions connected with the
historical residences of the British aris-
tocracy are many and varied, but none
perhaps is more curious than that re-
lated about Yester, the Scottish home
of lord and Lady Tweeddale. The
old castle--now picturesque ruin-re-
ferred to by Sir Walter Scott in Mar
mIon," contained wonderful vaulted
hall, which Hugh Clifford, the magi-
clan, is said to have erected with one
stroke Of bis wand. But it was not
case of easy come. easy go" and the
wizard solemniy vowed that any man
who attempted to tamper with the fair
building should die swiftly and violent

A Freeman In Old Colony Times.

A freeman of the early days of the
colonies was one who held the right OF
franchise No one was allowed that
right without first becoming member
of the church. The laws were made by
a quorum of the assistants or mag
istrates" sent out and commissioned by
the company in London which held the
charter. The law compelling church
membership was passed by the assist
ants in 1851. In 1916 five-sixths of the
people of Boston were nonvoters be-
cause they were not church members
and were thus shut out from any par
ticipation in the local government.

number of people about your scheme
for giving some attention to .Gordon's
Creek, and you have no idea how well
it has taken. When one thinks of it as
business and health proposition it is
amazing how reasable the matter seems
but on the other hand it is easy for
those against it to ''pooh-pooh' it,

II heard one man say that all the
earth from the foundations of the
buildings that have been erected in Hat
tiesburg during the last few years
should haye been dumped into the bed
of the Creek so as to fill it up. His
idea was that in time the creek would
be done away with in that manner and
in consequence there would be no need
for the iron bridges the county is to
put over the Creek" So said Fatty as
he grunted in disgust and lit another
cigar.

Told by the Cards.

A young woman told tale of cruel assertion to the officers of an east side charitable institution in New York, and when her case had been disposed of she started to leave the room, wailing. "If I had only believed the cards" She was asked to explain and said: we were engaged in Bohemia and our parents were pleased with the match. 1t was all agreed what should re- ceive, and we were happy. Then my father, to find out more about the young man, invited him to play cards with him three times, and when the third card evening was over he said No Only in cards man shows his true nature,' he said, and this man showed me enough to show me that he will not be g good husband And then when the match was broken i came to this country to my brother. Then Max came, too, and we were married: But the cards were right, and my father knew" And dwelling on that point and sobbing hysterically she left the office.-New York Tribune.

Lack of Sea Room on the Lakes.

The wind often reaches very high velocity on the lakes, blowing at times sixty, seventy and on rare occasions eighty miles an hour, when the great fleet of lake craft is sure to be depict cd by disaster and watery graves add ed to the great marine cemetery. On such occasions the sea raised would hardly inconvenience an ocean going tug, but by reason of the short dis tance from shore to shore-"lack of sea room," the mariners term it-ves- sells are unable to hold course in the open waters and are driven by the wind upon the treacherous beaches, there to be pounded into splinters. Danger turks everywhere in the sha- lower lakes-particularly Erie-where vessels of any considerable draft are apt to pound bottom if caught in q storm and go to pieces like shattered wineglass.-New York Post.

ARRESTED ks,~-,s,,. DEVELOPMENT

New York, May 15...-in describ- ing the present situation in the dress goods trade it may be termed case of arrested development. The unfavorable weather all spring has minimized retail over-the- counter trade, and this in return has led retailers to be cautious in the matter of placing final reorders with jobbers. As matters stand at present, manufacturers have been Ithe only division of the trade that l has succeeded in doing as much business on spring and summer l lines as they did year ago. On woolens and worsteds, both plain and fancy, the cutters-up have taken a smaller percentage ot cloth. The3 Ss are entirely out of the mar. ket for any class of dress fabric ex- cept white goods and wash novel, ties As the average buyer is in- clined to be cautious, the present Hull in trade is prompting many to be over-cautious in placing recorders on fall dress goods. A few jobbers are taking on staple gooGs and worsteds, medium weight broad cloths, henriettas and fancy wor- steds for tailor suits. But the gen. eral movement is not to fast years May records. This condition is true of cloakings and accounts for some recent price revisions in staple lines In enumerating the popular fabrics for fall cutters-up and job bers give the first place to the smooth-surfaced goods The dark mixtures and plaids of almost somber hue are selling freely to the better class of suit manufacturers. It is noted by agents that fancy woolens are declining somewhat in favor of jobbers, and are being sup planted by fancy worsteds and staple broadcloths, s";ges and bananas
