Curious Effect of Hasheesh--Egypt

in large quantities in the pelapOnnesus

The plant grows 10 a height Of about
four feet and its branches are thckly

with tiny seeds. The entire plant. stalk

power of inducing sleep and producing

NOTES OF NOTABLES.
Duke of the Abruzzi.

LUKE VI tue ADIuEG1
The Duke If the Abruzzi has picked
up many III eresting stories in the course
of his various travels, and he is fond
Of telling the following, which he heard
in the far north:
"A young Eskimo loved a beautiful
maiden, whose fathers hut was near
his own, but, as is so often the case, her
parents would not hear of the match.
One night u great storm ripped up a
crevasse in the ice, and between the
two hut5 there yawned an abyss, bridged
only by a slender strip of ice. Here was
the chance which the young lover
sought. He crossed the frail bridge in
the dead of night and crept to the home
of his sweetheart to steal her from
her cruel father. The Eskimos sleep in
bags of sealskin, and with bated breath
and loudly beating heart he hoisted on
his back the one in which the lady love
slumbered. With his precious burdens
he recrossed the strip of ice, and safe
on the other side, broke it down with
a blow of his ak, so that no one could
pursue him save by the aid of a boat.
Regaining his hut, he opened the bag to
gaze upon the fair one, when, with a
cry of horror, he staggered back dumb,
founded. For, in his haste to get the
affair over, he had stolen her father by
mista., The Wasp.

Sir Henry Irving.


1t was while Irving was rehearsing
Beckett" that he told story of Ten
uyson that has both pathetic and hui
morous significance. In the earlier days,
when The Cup" was in preparation, he
had been to see Tennyson in the Isle of
Wight to discuss his ideas for it's presen-
tation. After dinner the dessert and
wine were set out upon separate table.
and when they were seated the poet
asked Irving if he would like glass of
port.
Yes, like glass of port" replied
the actor.
Upon which Tennyson, taking him at
his word, poured him out a glass of port
and, all unconsciously, finished the re-
mainder of the bottle himself.
Next morning the actor had to leave
early. and had therefore taken leave of
his host overnight. But he had scarcely
awakened when he saw Lord Tennyson
sitting at the foot of his bed.
How are you this morning. Irving?"
he inquired, anxiously.
VERY well, indeed" was his guest g
reply.
Are you?" came the response, with
just a tinge of doubt in the tones of the
voice. You drank a lot of port last
night
That was Tennyson's way of repent
ing after bottle of port!-Detroit Free

MISSOURI WILLOW FARM.
Tops as Well as Roots Used in Holding
Shifting River Banks.

East Kansas City is one of the most
important centers in the Missouri valley
in the business Of shipping willows. In
the last three months alone the Kansas
City Southern railway has hauled from
there 40 fat carloads of trimmed will
lows, and is taking out more as fast as
the willow plantations can furnish the
crop.
The roots of the willows keep the sand
from shifting along the river banks. but
the use of the tops of willows in fighting
currents Of water is comparatively new.
Government work with willows requires
that the trees shall be more than - feet
high and between q and 2l2 inches in
diameter at the butts After a patch
of these trees has been cut the ground
looks like a stubhlefield Of corn. The
new sprouts, however. look more like a
field of wheat-if wheat only had that
peculiar reddish tinge that willows take
on at this time Of the year. La two and

The sand filling the crevicep between

Rumor Has It That Report Wa
Turned in to the Governor
Last Thursday, but Won't
Affirm or Deny. IA
DOES 1T BEAR OUT EwsA
THE HITCH STATEMENT
When Asked to Make a Stslte.
ment Regarding the Report
Governor Brown Said he
Gould Not Discuss Il.

There was submitted to covernoa
Brown last week the report OF an expert
accountant whom he had employed q
make an examination Of the condition Of
the state treasury.
This examination, 1t is stated on ssgood
authority. began more than a week ago.
and the report was turned In to Governor
Brown last Thursday, 50 it is said.
Strangely enough. the report has not
been made public. Nor. from the present
outlook. is it likely to be made public IN
its present shape for some time to come.
When asked the point blank question
Monday morning If he was In possession
Of such a report, Governor Brown replied:
81 cannot discuss that matter at ALL
MYSTERY ABOUT REPORT.
Although it has been generally known IN
certain quarters that an expert account
ant from the office of Alonzo Richardson
was at work on the books Of the state
treasurer, the matter has been Kept
profound secret. There is no record to
show that an expert has been employed
and no one around the capitol seemed to
know that one was at work. If they DID
they skilIfulIy concealed the fact.
PUBLIC NOT LET IN.
That the report has not been made
public, despite the fact that 1t has been
il Governor Browns possession since
last Thursday, indicates that it. sreakz
mighty well for the administration o:
Gov. Hoke Smith, and the statement Of
Secretary Hitch, which said tina.
when all taxes were collected and all
disbursements made there would be In
the state treasury the sum of $2,o00O0
on January /, 1910. Mr.. Hitch's statement
was predicated on Figures from which
no one could get away. He knew just
as well what could be expected in the
treasury when the taxes were in and
disbursements made as a whole army Of
accountants, and the employment Of an
expert could only serve TO verify his
statement
RumOr has it that the report of the
expert came as an overwhelming surprise
to Governor Brown, and those closest
to him. For, when the expert was em-
ployed, close on the heels OF the card
written by Representative ]. Randolph
Anderson, of Chatham, an entirely differ
ent state of affairs was evidently expected
to result.
WILL IT BE PUBLIsHED7
Those who have learned OF the existenc3
Of the report are wondering why the gov
ernor has so long remained silent regard
ing it. In some quarters II is irtimated
that the figures were so surprising that
a second examination might be ordered
to see II. by any possible chance, a mis-
take had been made. ~

gard to the report and said:
