Death In a New Guise.

In little village on the Hungarian
frontier not far from Presburg a
peasant woman recently received 400
kronen $50 from her husband in
America. She promptly deposited it in
the local branch Of the postotlice saw
lngs bank and then the next day went
to withdraw the whole amount The
bank official was somewhat surprised
and asked for an explanation, when
she said that Death had appeared to
her during the night and threatened to
take her away with him unless she had
the 400 kronen ready for him the next
night The gendarmeric were communi-
Gated with and when Death made his
promised appearance he was found to
be very much alive in the person of the
local judge. The woman's money,
adds our Vienna correspondent who
sends the story, is still in the bank,
and the judge is in jail-Pall Mall Ga

Denmark Criminal of Thule?

Was Denmark the original Thule, the
worlds end land of the ancients, be-
yond which lay only the Sluggish sea?
Pytheas of Massilia, who was about
contemporary with Alexander the
Great, is believed by some to have
referred to what we now know as Jut-
land by this name; but, as there Is
nothing to show that Pytheas had
visited Thule himself, he was probably
rather vague about it. Since he seems
to have represented it as land of the
midnight sun, others have identified
it as Iceland or even Greenland, and
the Thule of the Irish monks of the
ninth century \. d. was certainly Ice
land. But the Thule of Tacitus. which
lay near the Orkney islands, must have
been part of the Shetlands. London

The Postmaster of Aranaho.

Cy Howenstine, the new postmaster
at Arapaho, Okla, took charge OF the
postofiice on the glorious Fourth, says
the Foss (Okla) Enterprise. Cy WAS
formerly COW puncher and up to the
present is closely identified with the
live stock interests of Custer county.
A story is told on him which illus
trates how a mans character Will
creep out through his everyday trans
actions and how force of habit will
sway ones thoughts and actions. One

Ing for his mail was asked by the new
postmaster how it was branded" 1t
Is also told on him that when he first
took hold Of the cancellation stamp he
handled 1t very gingerly for fear of
burning himself. Nevertheless It is
hoped he will be careful enough not
to bunch the mavericks with the
branded cattle or get other peoples
stock in the wrong corral, which un.
fortunately has frequently been the
case on that reservation.

A WATCH PROBLEM.
Telling the Time In the Dark With $he
Hands Removed.

Some time ago a poor old peasant
who had invoked the kings wrath was
seized by the Kings soldiers and Fiaced
In a dungeon says the Scientific Ameri-
can. His majesty was present and had
the old man searched before being in
generated. All his personal property
consisted OF a cheap watch, a small
penknife, a shilling in cash and a lead
pencil. The poor old man begged for
mercy, but his pleadings availed him
nothing. and he finally asked TO be
granted the privilege Of knowing the
length of his sentence. In reply the
king took his knife and watch. which
lay on the table, and after taking the
knife and prying the hands Off the
watch, returned to him his watch, say
Ing, when you have learned TO tell
the time correctly by this watch In
your dungeon cell you will be llberat-
ed" The poor old man, knowing that
the king meant a life sentence, stag
gered into his cell and wept bitterly.
Nevertheless he was liberated in TWEEN
ty-four hours, having accomplished the
wonderful task of telling the correct
time In the dark with a watch without
hands. How did he do 1t?
4 watch derives its power of motion
from the recoil of the handspring, and
the recoil is governed by the balance
and lever. For instance, IL it takes
twenty-four full turns Of the stem to
wind the watch and the watch runs
twenty-four hours when fully wound,
then for each turn of the stem it will
run one hour
A more simple method Is to hold the
stem firmly between the fingers and
turn the watch around In winding the
watch to run for one hour the ratchet
on the handspring will click, say, thirty
times. which proves that this watch
runs two minutes for each click of the
ratchet which is attached to the main
spring We will suppose it was II
O'clock noon when the watch was last
wound up and you now wish to know
the time. Beginning to wind it up,
you count the clicks and find that be-
fore il is again wound up fully tho
ratchet clicks 1870 times. BY dividing
this by thirty we get four and one
third, or four hours and twenty min
utes, which added to 10 o'clock makes
the hour 20 p. IN.
While watches ape not all exactly
alike the principle is the same, and it
is simply a case of mental arithmetic
in order to be able to tell the time.
But you must always remember the
time of the starting point or first wind
Ing and after that the time at the
last winding.
The above was the method used by
the poor old peasant whose life mostly
depended on his release and who was
Immediately rewarded by the king
with his liberty and a life pension.

CONTROLLER OF HER VOICE.
Bessie ABBOTT s=ys She Can Never Sing
Again If Twin Sister WEEDS.

HdiH " VIII SishGt "NdSs
Il believe it is the proper thing for
a singer TO be a married woman, for
without marriage she will not get the
necessary breadth of view, but don't
want Jessie to get married. My suc-
cess is half hers; without her undivided
sympathy / can have none at all. Her
influence, which l always feel, keeps
me up to my work. II she is not in
the audience l cannot sing"
This interesting statement was made
by Miss Bessie ABBOTT, one Of Herr
Conried's youngest operate stars, when
seen recently at the Delaware Water
Gap by a reporter of the New York
American.
The rumor that both the ABBOTT
twins, Jessie and Bessie, are engaged
to be married has been practically con-
firmed by Miss Bessie as regards her
own engagement, but as concerning
her sister, Jessie, she declares 1t can
not, must not be.
Il will say nothing about 1t until
after my return from Paris" said the
dainty prima donna, keeping secret
the details of her engagement. "All
necessary information with interest
ing details will be given out at that
time"
Miss Jessie ABBOTT. so rumor has 1t,
is engaged to James G.. Blaine Sd, son
of Mrs. William r. Bull. when the
mother of Miss ABBOTT was questioned
her answer was only a smiling eva
sion. Miss Bessie shook her head in
protest when the questloner turned ap-
pealingly to her,
we have known Jimmie long
time, and we all like him." she said.
"But | don't want Jessie to be mar
ried. 1t is different with myself. I
want to be Il great success, and, of
course, my success is half Jessie's. 1

Veterinarians Banquet

An event which in the future is apt
to be remembered as landmark in the
increasing power and influence of the
several departments of the State Col
lege was the annual banquet of the
college department of veterinary sci
ence, which was held in the Moorish
room of the Spokane hotel last Thurs
day evening. This j. the first time
the annual banquet of the college vet
erinarians has been held in Spokane.
At the banquet were the most promi-
nent men of the veterinary profession
in the Pacific Northwest, the alumni
members of the department, the men,
bers of the '08 class, the faculty of
the department, and several newspaper
men, among them being N. w. Dur
ham, editor of the Spokesman Review.
After the banquet had been served,
DR.. Nelson, acting as toastmaster.
arose and gave a short address in
which he jokingly complimented the
veterinarians on the absence of "red,
painted noses, ;" which he said he had
observed in other walks of life less
vitality connected with the public veal:
reviewed the briefly the work of the
department since it began work at the
college, years ago, with 5000. to the
present day, when the State College
department of veterinary science sets
the pace in this profession in the Pa
cifc Northwest. Concluding his
remarks, DR.. Nelson introduced Mr..
Durham, who said:
"If domestic animals were to be
taken from us. our civilization would
retrograde with terrible swiftness;
without them we could not hold our
present status of civilization. Among
all people. and in all times, mastery
of the domestic animals has marked the
step from savagery to civilization.
The Greeks and Romans had domesti-
Gated animals; the Egyptians had their
sacred bulls and cattle; and wherever
race or a people is found that has no
domesticated animals. that race is in
a state of primitive savagery. Because
the veterinary profession has to do
with the care of our domestic animals,
l regard it as one of the noblest and
best professions.
Following Mr.. Durham's address,
Professor X. W. Stouder spoke upon
Surgery and the Future of Veterinar-
ians. " Everybody that comes to the
Northwest has ability" he said. and
many persons are coming. The oppor-
tunitv is ours as it has never been be-
fore to advance the profession of vet
Urinary science to the high standing 1t
deserves among the people. We are
favored with good Legislation, have
wide awake people to deal with, and
field to work in where the opportunity
awaits the man who goes after it."
W. D. Mason, an alumnus of the
department, who has but recently
joined the benedicts, toasted "The
Ladies'" DR.. Roberts spoke on "City
Practice. " and compared the profession
in Europe with the opportunities it
offered in America, and DR.. Deming,
of the U. S. government service,
spoke upon Federal Meat Inspect
ion." All of the addresses were aptly
spoken, and presage that in years to
come the annual banquet of the College
department of veterinary science will
be one of the noteworthy events of the
colleoa WAR
