flash Of lightning.
A deluge of rain swept across the
wild pastures. The brook, fifty feet
away, roared between its alder lined
banks

dress was fast dampening in the mist

Oh, yes; let her thank her stars to be

But 1t didn't. 1t dashed under the

at the storm, and words came to Isa-

Of disguised wrath.

this remarkable quality of his mind.
When forming the Code Napoleon"
he frequently astonished the council
of state by the skill with which he IL
lustrated any point in discussion by
quoting whole passages from memory
of the Roman civil law. The council
wondered how man whose life had
been passed il camp came to know so
much about the old Roman laws. FL
nally one OF them asked him how he
acquired his knowledge.
"When l was d lieutenant" Napo-
leon replied. Il was unjustly placed IN
der arrest. My small prison room con-
tanned no furniture except an old chair

ponderous volume, which proved to be

1t is proposed to issue these stamps
thi, year in every state in the union,
under the direction of the Red Cross
societies. The stamps are to be sold
sirgly or in sheets. like ordinary
stamps. They can not be used for
postage. but merely as a message of
good will and an evidence of dispo-
sition on he part of the sender to
help good cause. Every stamp pur-
chased is a contribution to the fund
to fight consumption, the cause OF
more deaths than ali wars. The
stamps cost 1 cent each and their use
is certainly to become popular, par
ticularly as they will be in vogue at
the time when the Christmas spirit
of giving and helping is at high-water
mark.

Marriage Amona the Aztecs.

The AZtecs, the most civilized peO-
pie of the new world at the time of its
discovery, had curious marriage Gus
tom. The ceremony was performed
by a priest, WHO took the hands of the
bride and bridegroom, asking them 1t
they would marry.
He then took corner of the wo-
mans veil and the mans robe and
knotted them together. and so they
were led to the bridegroom's house. 4
fresh fire was then kindled on the
hearth, and around this fire the priest
caused the bride to go seven times.
The welded couple then sat down to-
gether, and so was the marriage con.
tracted. An inventory was also made,
which the father of the bride after
ward retained, of all the man and
wife brought together, of furniture for
the house, of land, of jewels, orna-
ments and clothes. Then If 1t CHANGED
that the couple were divorced (as was
common among the AZtecs when man
and wife did not agree they divided
the goods according to the portion each
had brought to the other, both man
and wife having liberty to marry again
whom they pleased. Of the children
OF the marriage the daughters were
given to the wife and the sons to the
husband. 1t was enacted upon pain
Of death that the divorced couple were
not again to remarry.

Expecting Too Much.

The Havana Democrat is expecting
entirely too much of the republican
party when it says:
I'VE patiently await the publication
of the republican party of the COM
paign contribution of 1908. We await
patiently the collection of the $29,000,-
900 fine from the Standard Oil trust
We patiently await the revision OF the
tariff that was to take place after the
election. We patiently await the selec
ton of a speaker of the lower house OF
the national congress who will not
strangle needed legislation and whose

be a stencil to those of his constitu
ents claiming decency.'

REMINISCENT.

Back to the town where I was born
To see the boys again
Who used to go to school with me
When we were little men,
To talk about the ancient FRANKS
On which we used to thrive
And cause the teacher, young and prina,
To know she was alive;
To tread the old familiar ground
Where in the long ago
Quite methodless my infant feet
Went lightly to and fro;
To talk with ancient citizens
Awhile for old times sake
Whose apple trees 1 used to rob
And get the stomach ache;
To wander where the babbling brook
Across the meadow stole
And see with my delighted eyes
The old time swimming hole.
To gaze into it's murky depths.
To wonder at the time
had the nerve and recSlessnesB :
To plunge into that slime.
Oh. city of my boyhood days,
Oh, village of my birth,
used to think that you were just
The finest place on earth!
But now that have been around
And have wider view
/ find that there are here and there
Some towns as fine as you.
