"Copy READING" HowelIs,

The London Atheneum says Of the
following Howells paragraph that it is
the best sentence perhaps in any re-
cent English book. Describing a GER
tain ancient editice, Mr.. Howells writes
and the Atheneum quotes: II:
"What, in the heart of all this bios
soming, was the great cathedral it.
self when we came in sight of it but
a vast ef1orescence Of the age of
faith, mystically beautiful in form and
gray as some pale exhalation from
the mold Of the ever clustered, the
deeply reforested past"
Very fine, all must admit. But
wouldn't that paragraph have been
meat and drink to the man who used
to mark up Mr.. Howells' newspaper
copy back at Bucyrus, o. If Howells
the reporter had written that for the
Bucyrus Blade he would have found
it in the paper next day about like
this:

around it, looks fine. 1t is 400 years
old and needs paint -Galveston News,

Where Animals Beat Men.

"Nature taking aside" said the zoo
keeper, mice won't eat Oleo. It is a
fact. Lay pat Of oleo and pat Of
butter side by side and in the morning
the butter will be gone, but the oleo
will remain untouched.
ooh, yes, some animals are incredi-
bly, nice about their food. The otter,
when living wild, will only eat one
piece, one mouthful out of each fish
he catches. He will land beautiful
trout, but only one bite of it from the
back, just behind the neck, is good
enough for him. The rest he losses
aside. This epicure often kills a dozen
fine, big trout to, make one meal.
"Chimpanzees have very delicate
tastes. A banana or pineapple that
to you seems delicious to a chimpan-
zee may be revolving. His taste is
keener. Grapes grown in hothouses
where sulphur fumes are used as an
insecticide taste all right to a man, but
chimpanZee will have none Of them.
'"The ichneumon loves eggs. He can
tell fresh from a stale one simply
by tapping the shell."-Los Angeles

Tho Mysterious Passenger.
The captain Of a vessel which was
bringing to America in the fall of 1895
mysterious passenger who had come
aboard at Hamburg watched the latter
30 closely that at last the passenger
said one day: "Sir, this is not the first
occasion upon which have observed
the attentive scrutiny you bestow up
on me. May inquire the reason?'
"Sir," responded the candid captain,
you took passage on my ship as a
Dane. l don't believe you're anything
Of the kind"
The passenger smiled. The smile
was full Of perspicacity and confidence

The young mans smile broadened.
The next minute he turned grave

MANY CITIES Affected,
Sovereign Bank Of Canada Goes Into
Liquidation.

6ISuIOdIICNs
Toronto, Ont, Jan. 20-When GUS
toners OF the head Office in Toronto
and seventy-tive branches throughout
Canada called at the Sovereign bank
of Canada they found other banks in
possession as a result of the transfer
ence of all business of the SOVEREIGN
bank to the Bankers association of
Canada, consequent upon the decision
of the Sovereign bank to go into lioui-
dation. There will be no interruption
to business so far as the SOVEREIGN
banks customers and depositors are
concerned. The branches of the bank
have been assigned to different banks.
each of~whicn will take charge of the
accounts In the particular branch with
which it is engaged. The customers
will present their checks or passbooks
as usual and they may either get the
cash or a certificate Of deposit from
the particular bank that is in charge
The only point in which serious diff
culties may be created Is in the case
OF borrowers who have been extended
a line of credit by the, bank. The
present condition of the financial mar
ket may render it extremely difficult
for some firms to place their loans
and rumor is busy with the names of
several that may be forced to assign.

Comets In OIdsn DAYS.

People nowadays do not regard the
comet as one Of those signs that fore.
run the death or fall of kings, but the
superstition was still current in the
time Of Queen Elizabeth, though, to
the amazement of her courtiers, the
queen calmly scorned it. It was also
thought that If the sovereign would re-
frain from looking at the malignant
celestial passerby no harm would come
to her. On one occasion Hlizabeth's
attendants shut and curta1ned her win
dows, but her majesty, as might have
been expected, with "a courage an
swerable to the greatness of her es-
tate" caused them to be opened, cry
ing as she looked up: "Jacta est alea-
the die is casty' Then, like King Knut
on the seashore, she read her people a
hom1ly, asserting that her "steadfast
hope and confidence were too firmly
planted in the providence Of God to be
blasted or affrighted with those beams
which either had no ground in nature
whereupon to rise or at least no war
rant in Scripture to portend the mis-
haps Of princes"

Northwestern Representatives Pre-
sent Memorial to Taft.
Washington, Jan. 20.-Representa-
tlves John J. Esch Of La Crosse and
AZ. G. Stevens of st. Paul presented a
joint memorial to Secretary of War
Taft bearing on military reservations
IN the Northwest. It is proposed to
establish permanent training field
and target range at Camp Douglass
WIS.,, suitable for both regular army
and militia maneuvers on an extern
sive scale. 1t Is further proposed to
establish full regimental battalion
OF field artillery at Fort Smelling,
MINI. In elaboration of these propo-
sitions the two members made a
strong showing. The militia of ILL.,
no1s, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota,
which is now being equipped with
artillery and infantry accoutrements.
forms an important factor. in the es-
adjustment Of a big range at Camp
Douglass, near Sparta,
Congress has adopted policy of
fitting out the militia on a practical
regular army footing. In behalf of a
regimental artillery force at Fort
Smelling many arguments, such as
climate, surroundings, Transportation,
accessibility and health, were urged.
me Smelling reservation is on an
equal footing with any in the country
and the proposed field range for
maneuvers at Camp Douglass would
make that point equal to Fort Leaven-
worth.

NEEDS OF C0L0RED RACE
Distinguished Men Discuss Them In
New York.


New York.
New York, Jan. 20.-A Northern
governor, a Southern editor and an
intellectual leader, whose activities
are confined to no section, gave sym.
pathetic expression to the needs, aims
and hopes of the colored race before
a noteworthy audience at Carnegie
hall. To these personally delivered
addresses were added similar senti-
ments in the form of messages from
Cardinal Gibbons and British Ambas-
sador James Bryce. With unantmity
these men advocated further oppor.

through popular support of Tuskegee

the meeting was held.

Hughes. "These are first, to give 3D.

Queen Elizabeth as an Ale DrinI<er.

Queen Elizabeth as an Ale Drinker.
There is an amusing letter written
by the Earl Of Leicester to Lord Bur-
leigh as to- the lack of sufficiently
strong ale for the queen at Hatfield.
'erhere is not one drop Of good drink
for her here. We were fain to send
to London and Kenilworth and divers
other places where ale was. Her own
beer was SO strong as there was no
man able to drink it." Ale and bread
were the chief items of the royal
breakfast. The quantity of ale con.
sumed by ladies at breakfast in those
days was considerable, for in the reign
Of Henry VIII. the maids of honor
were allowed for breakfast zone Chef
loafe, one panchet, two gallons of ale
and pitcher Of wine." A Lady Lucy
made mighty tonic of the national
brew. Her breakfast was a chine of
beef, loaf and gallon Of ale, and
for her pillow meal posset porridge,

Of France in Defense of Their Com
mon Interests, Holds First Meeting.
Paris, Jan. 2O.-Two significant
events marking the growing deter
mination of the conservative classes
to resist tho encroachments of revolu-
tionary socialism were observed here.
The first Is the initial meeting of the
commercial parliament" body de-
signed to combine the business men of
France into sort of non political par
lament in the defense of their COM
mon interests. The chief aim of this
parliament is to meet the socialists on
their own ground by promoting Joint
action between masters and men, thus
preventing the pressure for excessive
state interference. The second event
is the appearance in Paris of weekly
paper called Opinion, on the model of
the London Spectator. The purpose
of this publication is to marshal con.
servative republican opinion of all
shades against the demands of col.
lectivism, such as premature aspira-
lions for disarmament, etc. To the
socialistic warfare of the classes 1t
will propose cooperation between the
classes. The prime movers In this
movement are E. Paul Doumer, former
president of the chamber of deputies:
eX-Premter RibOt and Alexandra Mil.
lerand, former minister of commerce.
