Rhode Island saIoonkeeper Declares
OIL King Furnishes the Money.

Providence, r. l., Mar. 13.-In order
TO detract public attention from the
operations of the Standard Oil corpor-
alton and other big trusts, John D..
Rockefeller is financing the anti-sa-
loon movement TO the center of the
stage. This is the declaration of Will
liam F. Names, president of the Rhode
Island Retail Liquor Dealers associa-
ton, in a circular addressed to all re-
tail liquor dealers in New England.
The circular invites the dealers TO
attend a meeting in this city on Sat,
urday next to discuss ways and means
of meeting the public opposition to
the saloons. Mr.. Maines says:
THE anti-saloon agitation is largely
artificial and is financed by John d.
Rockefeller for the purpose of giving
the public something to think about
that will take its mind off the anti.
trust agitation"

BOY ROSE TO THE SITUATION
Quick WE and intelligence Displayed
by Youngster.

His parents are convinced that Clar

doubt is whether 1t will be as a states

years old. and their confidence Is
based largely on one incident. The
boy never told OF 1t, and 1t would have

Clarence lives in the suburbs, and
has cat and kittens. One day he
went into the yard next door with one

pulled the pile Of brush apart, but
lacking strength for this he resorted

returned with the mother cat. He
showed her into the hole after her on

the little one between her teeth. Clar-
ence bore them both home in triumph.

coNvlcTs SAVE THEIR PRISON.
Fight Fire and Rescue a Guard from
Death In Flames.

San Quentin, Cal, Mar. 4.-With
never a thought apparently OF attempt
ing break for liberty, hundred state
penitentiary convicts yesterday fought
heroically to save from flames the jute
warehouse, belonging TO the prison.
Several prisoners were overcome by
smoke and narrowly escaped with
their lives.
l.. j. Frouman, employed as book
keeper at the warehouse, suffered a
broken leg, and another fell uncon-
scious on the roof, but was rescued.
Guard White, while working from a
point of vantage near the guardhouse,
located above the warehouse, fell head
long into the fire, but was rescued by
convicts.
One thousand rounds OF ammunition
stored In the guardhouse fell into the
flames and exploded. Despite the dan
ger OF being hit by bullets, the prison
ers remained firmly at their posts. A
gatling gun was dragged from the
guardhouse by several convicts at the
risk of their lives.
Firemen from San Rafael and San
Francisco finally brought the flames
under control.

STRONG TOMB RENT BY TREE
Striking Instance Of the Great Power
Of Vegetation.

A correspondence calls attention to
a curious instance Of the mechanical
power Of vegetation in the out-of-the-
way churchyard Of Tewin, in Hertford
shire.
A tree, which has been divided into
two or three main stems grows
straight out of the tomb of a noble
dame who departed this life over two
centuries ago, and has rent her gloomy
home into pieces. Strangest sight of
all, 1t has wrapped itself round the
iron railing which used to guard the
grave, and which is thus now almost
entirely concealed inside the tree.
People come from far and near to
see the wonderful sight: and to them
is told a story that the quiet inhabi-
tant of this disrupted sepulcher was in
her day lady OF very free thinking
opinions, and had said she would have
placed above her remains a tomb that
no person could read.-The Scotsman

PECULIAR APPEAL TO HEAVEN.
Ceremonial Observed by Chinese
When Rain 10 Desired.

Prayers for rain are common fea-
ture OF religious observance in China,
and the attendant ceremonial some
times takes strange forms. A CORE.
spondent Of the North China Herald
reports curious celebration which
recently took place in Chenyuan. The
orthodox three days fast was pro
claimed, and the oficials went to the
temples TO present incense, while the
people organized a procession with a
plenitude OF gongs and drums. AS the
professionals passed along the street
they were drenched with water by the
residents, who had tubs in readiness.
"But the great popularity of the occa-
sion was dog. He was tied sitting up
in a common chair with an old gar
ment round his shoulders and an old
big mans hat on his head. He got
a double share of the water along the
route and seemed to have entirely ex.
hausted the glory and the fun Of his
position. The explanation of the cere-
mony was this. Among the domestic
animals the dog is placed lowest. But
the people in their attempt to move
the pity Of heaven said in effect: We
will put ourselves lower than the dog.
we will give him the honor OF riding In
state as our master, II only you will
give us rain" The correspondent
adds that rain fell before sunset.

Robby,s Unfortunate Delay.

He was ivs years old. On this
particular day mother had dressed
him with unusual care and was very
much displeased to have him come In
with clothing dirty and torn. She had
so often told him he must take his
own part In the boys scraps-nght,
should the occasion demand 1t. This
he would not do. And now she intend
ed to punish him.
Bob became very indignant and
said; We'll, mamma, just told the

got ready he was settin' on me-

BAD NOTES EASILY psrEc1ED.
Almost impossible TO Impose Upon
Handlers Of Money.

Incidentally Il Is interesting TO note
thaA the skill which enables one to de-
tect counterfeit comes not from q
study OF counterfeits, but from thor
ough and unconscious familiarity with
the genuine. II man were pointed
out to you and you we're told that some
day another who much resembled him
would try to impose upon you. you
would be pretty apt to ix his features
in your mind; you would not spend
any time looking at other people who
looked something like him, would you?
And the moment the impostor ap-
peared you would note that In this,
that or the other particular he failed
to meet the details Of the other mans
face and figure. Just so It is in the
detection OF counterfeits. A skillful
teller in bank, counting money rap
idly, will inVoluntarily throw out a
note which In the slightest degree de-
parts from the well-known pattern
which is so strongly impressed on his
mental vision. That involuntary act
will nearly always prove to have been
justified for the bill in ~ cases out of
20 will prove to be counterfeit. II is
because Of this fact that when re-
quest is received from some one to
loan him a collection Of counterfeits
for the instruction of his cashiers, he
is advised to have the young men
study the genuine carefully. and there
will be no trouble in detecting the bad
notes.-National Magazine.

Hard Life Of Arctic sealer.

The Arctic sealer endures a hard
life. Sealing does not consist only OF
hurried scrambling over ice, and fierce
breathless battling afterwards. There
are many hardships to endure. The
most common type OF Arctic weather
is dense, lung clogging fog. with q
rasp OF cold that is enough to freeze
a glowing furnace. This fog may be
diversified with cruel blizzards of pelt-
ing snow, borne on the wings Of the
constant gales. Once the snow passes
come sleet and rain-rain that Is as
cold as ice. Misery prevails greatly
among the crews of Arctic sealers. for
the dampness and the cold soon sap
the stoutest constitutions.

Where 10 Pat a Horse.

A horse lover, who is also learned
in the ways of horses, has been trying
to induce kindly disposed persons who
pet horses to do so in manner that
will give the animals pleasure. Most
persons stroke the horses nose, an
operation which only a we'll behaved
animal will tolerate, and, even he
cannot be said to get satisfaction out
of such caressing. Gentle rubbing
over his eyes or up between his ears
gives him great pleasure, because here
are certain nerve centers that are
stimulated by this friction. Most of
those who know how to pet horse
properly were brought up in the coun'
try and thus learned to know the
horse as city boys can never do.

Private Forestry In Enaland.

Everywhere in England you see pri-
vate forests planted for profit. Eng
land first won her naval supremacy in
ships built OF English oak trees which
we're practically planted for the pur-
pose on private estates. Public or
state forestry hardly exists in Eng
land Here we commonly think that
forestry concerns the government
only. A few Americans will plant ca,
talpa, locust, or some other tree crop
that natures In seven to fifteen years,
but when the passion for enduring
things becomes national trait with
us we will plant oaks and other spe-
cies that require hundred years or
more to mature. Meanwhile, the bu.
reau Of forestry at Washington has a
plan for cooperating with anyone who
has forest in which profit is the chief
consideration.-Garden Magazine.

whIstlIna slon Of Contempt.

A Moroccan shows his contempt OF
anything by whistling. A conflict be-
tween tribesmen and a battalion OF
French troops was recently precipi-
tated by the whistling of a locomo-
tive on a railway being constructed
near Casablanca. THE giaours are
laughing at us" said a chieftain,
when tho construction engine gave a
toot to warn the natives at work on
the line TO look out. The Arabs went
wild, mounted their horses, and rode
on the whistling enemy. They had to
be calmed with the whistling Of rife
balls.
