TAFT DEPLoRES RIOTS.
Uraes Quick Investigations and Con-
victions.

st. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 24.-G. w. San
ford Of this city has received letter
from w. H. Taft which gives the Re-
publican presidential nominees views
on the recent Springfield riots. The
letter is in reply to a query addressed
by Mr.. Sanford to Mr.. Taft. 1t reads:
I have your letter of Aug. Is in ref
erence to the race riot at Springfield,
ILL., Every good citizen in the country
must deplore the fiendish work of the
disgraceful mob that has brought the
city of Springfield to sorrow. Such
an outbreak of lawlessness and bitter
race prejudice makes the lover of his
country sad. 1t should nerve those in
favor of improving the administration
OF the criminal law to more earnest
effort, because / am confident that il
all charges of crime were promptly in
vestigated and convicted criminals
punished, there would be much less
temptation to the formation Of such
conscienceless and cruel mobs as that
which ran riot in Springfield.

EXPLA|NP PHENOMENON
Appearances Indicate Stream
Makes Sudden Change in
Currents Direction.
CAUSED BY BACK WATER.

Muskogee. Okla, Aug. 24-people
who live near Eufaula. along the
banks OF the North Canadian, often
have seen logs and driftwood running
rapidly downstream until they reach
ed a point where they waver and top
and then turn around and run back up
the stream as rapidly as they had
gone down.
The confluence of the North and
South Canadians is about five miles
east OF Eufaula. There is little fall
in either stream. When there is big
rise in the South Canadian and not a
corresponding rise in the North Can
adam the water rushes back up the
north fork for miles. and has every
appearance of a stream that is run
ming the wrong way.

LEGENDARY DEVICES.
How Strange Animals Appeared In
Heraldry In Old Days.

HOW strange Animals AppSaEcu IN
Heraldry In Old Days.
Early writer's on natural history sub
iects make mention of many strange
creatures that never could have exist
ed save in the superstitious mind of
the age in which they wrote, and Of
the many that did exist the accounts
of their structure and habits are so
ludicrous that one may really wonder
if it was possible, even in the middle
ages, that people could be so credulous.
Many of these strangely garfield rec
ords of the animal world were, no
doubt. due to travellers tales and prob
ably had certain foundation in fact.
but it is difficult indeed to account for
the creation of such things as the phoe-
nix, the cockatrice, the wyvem, the
griffin and the dragon. The belief in
the existence of the unicorn may have
originated from the fact of some of the
early African travellers meeting with
certain antelopes that had lost horn
for it is q popularity with most ante
iopes that their horns are never shed
and if injured or broken never grow
again.
The horn, growing out of the fore
head, betwiXt the eyeids, is neither
light nor hollow nor yet smooth like
| other horns, but hard as iron, rough as
any file, revolved into many plights;
sharper than any dart, straight and
not crooked and everywhere black, ex-
cept at the point.
Bartholomew asserted that there
were many varieties of unicorn, and
| this would be feasible If this creature
| had been created from those horned
| beasts that had accidentally lost one
| of the horns.
How the phoenix was called into be-
| ing it would be impossible to hazard a
guess. 1t was popularity supposed that
there was only one such creature exist
ing in the whole universe and that
there was only one tree in which ii
built its nest We find mention of the
! phoenix as far back as Pliny. who
says, "Howbeit, l cannot tell what tt
| make of him; and, first of all, whether
it be tale or no, that is never but one
of them in the whole world, and the
same not commonly seen"
In the fifteenth century we find Bar
tholomew writing of this imaginary
bird:
Phoenix is large bird. and there II
! but one that kind in all the wide world
| therefore lewd men wonder thereof
| Phoenix is bird without make (mate
and liveth SEQ or 500 years. Whel
the which years he passed she feelet
her default and feebleness and maketi
nest of sweet smelling sticks that b
full dry, and in summer when tn
western wind bloweth the sticks ant
the nest be set on fire with burning
heat of the sun and burneth strongly"
The bird then allows itself to be re
! duced to ashes in this fire-on thi
point all the writer's agree-apd in ou
course rises again from the ashes Il

Curious French Market.

There is a curious old market near
Paris in which everything is sold at
secondhand. Working girls can fit
themselves out there from head to
foot AS a writer says: Mimi can sell
her old felt hat and buy straw one,
exchange her old dress for new one
and, if she likes. buy steak and a
salad for her dinner. a paper bag of
fried potatoes, sweets and some flow
ers for her window. Democracy is king
here, and no more attention is paid to
the millionaire who is looking for
something marvellous which he may
pick up cheap than to the man with a
wooden leg who wants new boot in
exchange for a dozen sardine tins, five
gloves and a stocking:

The Old Great Eastern.

The last days of the Great Eastern
were certainly sad. considering the pur-
pose for which she was designed and
the great work she did in cable laying.
For some time before she was broken
up on the mud of the river Mersey,
near Liverpool, she was on view as
show ship. One firm of Liverpool
clothiers hired her for a season, and in
addition to using her for its advertising
purposes made use OF her for catchpen-
ny shows. In the large cable tank a
circus was fitted up and performances
given at so much a head, while other
exhibitions of the Coney Island type
were spread all over her deck.

Overheard on the Street.

Two we'll known men were seen
laughing heartily on Main street,
Monday. When asked the reason by
the reporter they said their wives had
used Easy Task soap, finished their
washing by noon and for the first
time in years sat down to square
meal with them on wash day. AS
each had the same experience, they
were convulsed with laughter.

The eyes of the yellow people are not

commissioners of the eyelids divides the

the nose. It Is not always so; the ex-

The Whistlinq Boy.

But woe betide the hand that bids the whistling boy be still. He is the sole survivor from an age of innocence into one of ill-starred knowledge; he binds the disparities of the present and the past The same in country lane and on the city pave-cosmo- polite, blithe, bohemian, little pagan Pan!--is he, Amphibian of truant idle ness and endless preoccupations is he; without rest, without haste, he shut ties back and forth between things as they are and things as they are dreamed. If, in these transmigra- tions, from the inner to the outer world and back, he impinges on the edges of things little sharply, he cannot arouse our ire-for there is a whistling boy within every man who keeps his courage up as he passes through the graveyard of his hopes.- Washington Post.

Avoid Round Shoulders.

Are you letting yourself sag bit at the shoulders? Don't if you want to keep either young or we'll There is nothing so fatally easy as to grow round-shouldered. Keep sharp watch on yourself to prevent it. Each morning stand up against the jamb of a door and see if you have begun to sag.
