Gen. sherIdan's Request.

When Gen. John M. Wilson, U. S. A., retired, was superintendent of pub lie buildings and grounds in Washing ton under Cleveland, he was invited one afternoon by Gen. Phil Sheridan to accompany him on a carriage drive about the city. The hero of Winchester was sn fine spirits until they approached Scott Circle, in the centre of which loomed the equestrian statute of Gen. Winfield Scott Then Little Phil became serious. Refining up his horses, he sat and gazed earn estly at the statute.
 Wilson" said Gen. Sheridan, q have an tncurable malady, and do not expect to live more than a year. When am dead suppose that my equestrian statue will be erected somewhere in Washington. I request here and now that you see to it that am not seated upon such an outrag- eous looking horse as that upon which the sculptor nas placed Scott. !"

The Real Meaning of rhankssIvlng.

Thanksgiving Is of little value if our expressions of gratitude have no effect upon our own conduct. Ap- preciation of blessings is shown by words. If we regard citizenship as a priceless inheritance, we should re- solve, to transmit it, not only un- impaired but improved, to the next generation; if our educational sys- tenn has been g boon to us, it should be extended and amplified for the benefit Of posterity; if the resources of our country have a value beyond computation, it behooves us to see to 1t that these resources are not squandered, and that the bounties which the Creator intended for all shall not be monopolized by the cunning, the Yraft and the ayarice of few; if our government gives to fife, liberty and prosperity greater pTotec- tion than any other government grants, we can not excuse ourselves if We fail to preserve it, in all its purity, for our children and our children's children; if in our religion we find a consolation, a life-plan and moral uplift, we can not but earnest ly desire-and embody the desire in deeds-that these shall be shared by those about us and by those who, though separated from us by seas, are bound to us by that primal tie that links each human being to every other-From ''Why We Ought to be Thankful" by William.

WOMEN INVENTORS AS
 sRoWN IN PATENT OFFICE

The United States Patent ofice is not repository for masculine ideas alone. The doors of that institution were scarcely hung on their hinges when the government swung them wide to the first woman inventor who applied for admission. They have been open ever since.
 According to the records, that go back to 1790. Mary Kies, who ob- tained patent in 1898 for straw weaving in silk or thread, was the Eve of American women inventors says the American Inventor. Miss kies is followed by twenty-one wo- nen whose local habitations like hers, do not appear on the official list, and though the majority of the pat ents granted them are "gleaned from the nursery and kitchen" there are others Of wider range. One, for in stance, is for extracting fur from skins of animals and making it into

A PERENNIAL HOBBY.
Autograph Collecting ates Back to
 the Time of Cicero.

The iist of the worlds rare auto graphs Is headed with the name of Shakespeare. who is simply classed among the smpossibilities. If let ter of his were produced today and could be sworn to be genuine it would easily bring sI00.o00.
 The autographs of Milton, Gold smith, Loche and Matthews Prior are extremely rare. and Holiere's brings thousands of dollars. Other great rarities are those of Titan. Leo Ga-1G ds Yinci. Raphael. Calico, George Stephenson. the inventor. and Sir John Moore, the English general.
 Musical letters of Beethoven sell at from $40 to $50 Wagner sells for about s25. and Bach, Handel and Mo zart are very rare and command high prices. Musical manuscripts bring prices ranging from $50 to $25o.
 Of Columbus autographs there are but twenty-nine; his descendants are the only private possessors.
 Of rare signatures, that Of Thomas lynch, Jr., is an interesting exam pie, says a writer in the Circle. His
 
 from South Carolina to the Cont mental Congress, and Thomas, Jr. was hss fathers alternate
 The elder Lyncn was a great in. aid, so that it deyolyed upon the son to attend the meetings, and he signed the Declaration of Independ. ence for his father. The only known autograph letter of Thomas Lynch, Jr., is in the famous Emmet coIlec. ton of signers, owned by the Lenox Library in New York city. II brought s5,O00.
 Othe arrresierngs tfrbe shown'op-s
 Other rare ssgners are Gwinnett Hart, Morton. Heyward and Middle ton. A good set of the srgners, with no cut signatures, would be easily worth S5.000. There are very few complete sets.
 Another signature of value, be. cause of its rarity. is that of Sam uel Woodwork. How many cole tors know who he was? The manu. script of a poem by him brought SIPS dollars, yet his name conveys noth. ing to the average reader or coilec. tor.
 The poem was his famous "The Old oaken Bucket" He was afflict ed with paralysis for several years of his middle life and his wife did most of his writing for him; hence the scarcity of his autographs.
 Letters of General Washington range from $10 to s1.000 in value; everything he has written is greatly in demand Lincoln ranks in popu larity with Washington The Taresi autograph of a president is that oi Andrew Jackson, and the next is i that of Zachary Taylor.
 At the present time the greatest demand ss for autographs of the En glish literary celebrities, some ct which bring thousands of dollars Keats and Shelley command such high prices that they sell better abroad. where there are more coIlec tions. than they do here
 In forming collections it is well tc bear in mind that a letter contain ing historical information or infor nation pertaining to famous individ uals is usually of value. Such letters are known as content letters and are

 A very valuable contents letter, signed by an unknown man, one Capt. Randolph of the Confederate army, and written to his uncle, describes the firing on Fort Sumter from the first 10 the last shot His letter is dated April 12, 1861, and he continued it, with frequent interruptions, until after the surrender of the fort, which occurred on April IA.
 The Dmmet collection was the nn- estprivate collection in America. It is now owned by the Lenox Library of New York city. The largest Dri- yste collection in the United States is now owned by Mir. Gratz of Phila- delphia. while hessrs. Thacher, Gun ther and Joline have large and Valu- able collections.
 It is a mistaken idea that there are many forged autographs. So far prices are not sufficiently large to pay for the time and labor involved in making clever forgeries and should such forgeries exist they would readily be detected by the experts. for with an autograph that commands a very high price an exact record is demanded of it's origin and ownership, which passes from owner tn owner
 Autograph collection is supposed by many to be a modern hobby, but 1t really dates fro mthe days at least of the early Greeks and Romans. Cic- ero is said to have left an inter esting bargained with the starving Athenians, giving wheat in ex- change for the autographs or holo, graphs, of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides. He was supposed to copy the autographs, which he did with great exactness, but returned the copies to the Athenians and retained the originals for himself
 We are told that Pliny the elder mentions seeing in the collection of Pompon.us Secundus autographs of men written two centuries previously. We know that the Chinese preserved early autographs with the greatest care. By the fourteenth century the custom of inscribing autographs mere
 y for collection had been developed.
 The first autograph album appeared in Germany in that century, 1t was called the Album Amicorum, and was an octave book. bound length wise. Among the Egerton manu. scripts tn the British Museum there is such an album dated 1854.
 The oldest obtainable letters date back about five hundred years, and the oldest documents are dated about one thousand years ago.
 In this country the greatest de mand for autographs 'at present comes from the West, a fact probably due to the newness of collection! there as compared with those in tht East.

 Taylor is negro. He began life by selling papers. He finally saved enough money to educate himself in the public schools.
 Several years ago he located in Oskaloosa, la, where he conducted a daily paper. Later he moved to La crosse, Wis, and established a news paper there. He went into politics, received an appointment, and when the Administration changed Taylor lost his job and came back to Iowa.
 When the National Liberty party was organized Taylor, who had el- ready won prominence among the ne groes, was one of the leaders, and at the convention in St. Louis in 1904, he was nominated for President Of tho United States.
