r. Steam Epoine.

The Marquis of Worcester while i'm prisoped in the Tower of London in 1G56 invented and constructed a per feet steam engine and had 1t publicly exhibited the same year at VauxhaN in successful operation. Thirty-four years later, in 1890. Dennis Papin add sd the piston to the marquis discovery In 1898 Captain Savary devised and built q steam engine different in many details from those made by Worcester and Papin, and in 110o Newcomb Cav ley and Savary constructed their cele- brated atmospheric engine, which was complete in every detail. The above array of historical facts notwithstand ing. James Watt who was not born until sixty years after these great mcn had given the steam engine to the world. enjoys the distinction of being the vertable inventor. originator and author of the most useful contrivance of the present day.

Ono For the Minister.

An old minister in the south side of Glasgow who was noted for his habit of dishing up old sermons again and again was one day advertised to preach in suburban church at the anniversary service there. An old wo- man who in days gone by had sat un- der his ministry, but who had now re moved from his neighborhood, deter mined to go in and hear him preach on this particular occasion. After the close of the service she waited on the clergyman, who greeted her cordially and asked what she thought of his dis course. "Eh, man," she replied can- didly, tits lang time sin l first heard ye preach that yin, sir, and I've heard ye at 1t guid wheen c times sin syne."
 Aye, Janet.'' said the minister. How often do ye think we've heard it, na?" "Oh, aboot dizzen O times, sir she replied. An div ye mind it a'?'' said the minister. "Aweel, maybe no it a, sir "Weel. see I'll need to preach it to ye again. Janet" said the minister and Janet felt that she had been sold for once.

Wouldn't Be Fooled Again.

A shepherd once. to prove the qulcA' ness of his dog, which was lying be fore the fire in the house where we were talking, said to me in the middle of sentence concerning something else, %'m thinking, sir. the COW is in the potatoes"
 Though he purposely laid DO stress on these words and said them in a quiet, unconcerned tone of voice, the dog, which appeared to be asleep, fmme- diately jumped up and, leaping through the open window. scrambled up to the turf roof of the house, from which he could see the potato field. He then, not seeing the COW there, ran and look ed into the barn where she was and, finding that all was right. came back to the house.
 After short time the shepherd said the same words again, and the dog re- peated his lookout. but on the false alarm being the third time given the dog got up and. wagging his tail, look ed his master in the face with so com ical an expression of Interrogation that he could not help laughing aloud at him. on which, with slight growl, he laid himself down in his warm corner with an offended air. as if determined not to be made fool of asain.-Lon- don Standard.

Truth Not Feared.

We are not afraid of the discovery of truth. We urge mankind to read and study as well as to pray and testify. There was day when men were afraid lest light from the stars would put out the sun Of righteousness, lest the geologist's hammer would break the rock of ages, lest some new ar engagement amid the strata of the earth would dislocate the cross of Christ. II is not so now. Let truth come from any source, and 1t will fall in with and not darken the truths of the gospel Rev. Ernest Wray OneaI. Methodist, Chicago

THAT EARLY PRIMARY.

Much has been said about the pro- posed early county primary for Jef- ferson county While some have spok- en favor if a change from the regu- lar date set by the State Democratic highest authority and the organized head of the democratic party in this state, many more have taken decid- ed stand against any change. While we recognize each county's right o decide measures of that kind for themselves, very largely, we have listened in vain for any good reason for urging an early primary.
 In many, if not in most states than Arkansas, whose general election comes as late as ours, the custom is to hold a summer primary; the months of July and August being pre- ferred. There are many reasons which might be urged against nomi- mating candidates so far before the election which is to give them their certificate of election to office, but no better or different reason is needed in this connection than to say it is so declared to be the will of the Demo- cratic party as will be shown by a glance at the resolutions of the State convention
 Article }. section l, of the rules and regulations promulgated by that body provides: There shall be held on the last Wednesday in March, 1910, and biennially thereafter, uniform prim- ary election for the purpose of nomi- hating candidates for United States Senator, when one is to be chosen, and for State, District County and Township officers, in all cases where elections are to be held, also for Ire election of members of the County Central Committee"
 There are to be at the next genera, election before the people of this state, officers voted for, to fill all the sta,e, Distric: and County officers, excspt in the cases of holdover officers, and no one has yet advancd any sound req son why all these candidates ca, no, ana indeed ought not to be named Ill one primary, Some prospective as- pifah' TOT office may want. for pul ely personal reasons, to urge an eerlior VT ulnerent date from that set down as the most proper and convenient da:e oS the Democratic state convention

THE COMEDIANS COURTSHIP
Continued from Page 49,

When Ocust had finished with the
horses he leaned against the manger and
entered into a confidential conversation
with his patron, which lasted some ten
minutes or so.
ooh, well, SIR" he concluded, in a
slow voice, 'it can be done, Mr.. Durrant,
sir, if it was made worth a bloke's
while"
Are you quite certain the mare will
obey your" Durrant asked.
Can duck swim" the little groom
replied, contemptuously, in a voice like
the turning of a rusty key in a lock.
"Can a duck swim, guv'nor? Why, she
was at Woombles with me! She's up to
every move on the board l can tell you"
He went to the door of one of the
loose boxes where an old thoroughbred
mare was standing munching her corn.
The groom gave low whistle. The
mare turned round Immediately, and
stood facing the door of the box, prick
ing her ears and looking straight at
Ocust.
Nov, then, what shall it be-" said
the groom, turning to Durrant, shake
yer and or cheer for Kitchener"
81 don't care, Kitchener, if you like"
the comedian answered.
He did not see the groom make any
sign to the mare, but suddenly she threw
up her head and gave loud, echoing
whinny.
Then you think she'll do the other
thing all right?"
Il know it," the groom replied. at
was half thick 'un, l think you said ?"
1T was,' Mr.. Durrant answered
but, of course. there must be no danger
to the LADY,
mot bit of it," the groom replied
Mr.. Woopledorf, he'll be waitin' all
right, and l can bring 'er down in a
minute, nobody won't know. Of course
the lady may be bit frightened, but
she won't be 'urt. The great point is,
it'll look 'orrid."
''You don't think Mr.. Trant will"
Think! l know. E amt got the
cart of a fly, he amt, you see. When's
it to be, guv'nor ?"
"Well, to-day is Tuesday; say on
Thursday evening"

ONE of the great picture" scenes in
" "A Life of Sport was the grand
tableau entitled on the posters Going
to the Hunt" and it was modelled, or
said to be modelled, on a celebrated
Academy picture by celebrated R. A.
In the background was an old gray
Tudor mansion, with wide green lawns
stretching before it. The wings repre-
scented the great oaks of the park and
the keepers cottage. At the end of the
act, and just before the curtain fell, the
hounds, some ten in number, were
massed at the back of the stage in charge
of two gaudily attired whips, while the
huntsman sat upon his horse Upon the
stage, not very far from the footlights,
Miss de We're Ffolliott, the dashing be-
loved of Lord Ascot sat upon her ia
nous mare, Ladybird, in the neatest of
riding habits, the glossiest of silk hats,
and the tenderest of smiles as she looked
down upon her gallant lover in pink, who
stood by her side patting her horses
neck, and prophesying that she would be
in at the death, when, by Jove Muriel,
darling, l, Lord Ascot, shall not be far
away
The curtain was wont to ring down
upon this pretty picture and these re-
sounding words, and it was a sure cali
from pit and gallery, both for the beauty
of the scene, the presence of the real
dogs and horses, and the splendor of
sentiment uttered by the peer in pink
Il, Lord Ascot" seemed the very acme
of aristocratic address to the audience.
Directly the curtain fell the groom
rushed on from the wings, held the horse
and assisted Miss Webb to dismount.
On the Thursday evening the show
played to a crowded house, and every
thing went with a swing and go which
was noticeable even in the successful
career of the "a Life of Sport COM
pany. The hunting tableau closed the
second act, and as it approached, both
Mr.. Woopledorf and Mr.. Durrant, who
were generally in their dressing rooms
at this time, stood under the electric
switchboard on the prompt" side watch
ing the preparations with evident inter
est.
The moment for the tableau came at
last. Miss Webb was seated upon the

HIS STRONGLY MARKED FACE

JINGLE WINFIELD, the worthy old
sexton of the brick church on the
corner, and one of the most amiable and
lovable of men, came home from a stroll
one day in a high state of pleasurable ex-
element.
"a little while ago." he said, "a slim.
long-haired fellow stopped me on the
street and asked me if l had any obiec-
ton to his sketching me. He said he was
an artist and was illustrating a story for
pictorial publication, and my face had
so much character in it that he'd like to
make what he called study of it. and
use it in the story.
Il told him to go ahead. He opened
up little camp stool, stuck I'D a three
cornered frame in front of him. put
sheet of cardboard on it, and in five
minutes he made a picture that looked
exactly like me. I saw it,
Did he try to get you to buy it?"
asked Uncle Winfeld's wife, suspiciously.
mo, no." he answered "He thanked
me, and, more than that, he gave me
silver dollar. Said it was worth that to
him. Here's the dollar. It's the best paw
l ever got for five minutes of nv time"
But his wife was still unconvinced.
1t may be all right" she said, "but
he'll come back at you in some way. You
see if he doesn't"
A few weeks later one of his grand
children came running into the house in
great glee, with copy of an illustrated
magazine in her hand.
Grandpa" said the little girl, GIVE

SETTER, COLLIE AND CAT

Several years ago had at my coun-
try place an old hunting dog-a cross
between water spaniel and an Irish
setter-and a young Scotch collie pup,
says writer in Southern Medicine and
Surgery The old dog had a marked
antipathy toward cats, an antipathy in
which the collie as he grew older frank
ly shared. Among number of cats
that l brought to the farm was one to
which both dogs apparently took great
fancy. They killed or drove away all
the others, and whenever thereafter a
strange cat appeared on the premises
the dogs made common cause against
it. The elder dog soon taught his
young companion to hunt gophers, and
the two spent much time in this diver
sion. The cat was taken into their
companionship, and usually accom-
panied her canine friends upon their
hunting expeditions. Prince, the young
collie, having developed penchant for
chasing young chickens, 1 was COM
PEELED to have him chained up during
the daytime. Pussy did not forget her
friend, and, being mindful of his fond
ness for gopher meat, persistently
hunted his favorite game and brought
the spoils of the chase to the prisoner.
