Presidential Order Evidently Had Sig.
nifcance for Carload of Washing
ton-Bound Passengers.

A gray-haired western man, known
and beloved the world over, was sit
ting in the lounging room OF one Of
the downtown hotels talking to a
prominent New Yorker. He had just
come up from Washington and was re-
lating some of his experiences.
"On my trip in from the west to the
capital | had for a companion a distin.

PROCLAMATIONS NOT Needed.
Opium Dens Of Wanshein, China, Still
Flourish Despite Orders For
Their Closing.

A proclamation issued by the vice
roy of the province that all opium
dens in Wanshein must close has gone
unheeded, as most things appear to do
in China when it does not suit the
populace.
Wanshein is a city of 10000 inhab
itants and is surrounded by poppy
fields, nine-tenths of the community
indulging in the drug, while the city
itself contains innumerable shops for
retailing it.
When the appointed time came for
closing up all the shops did them
selves proud. Bright. new lanterns
cleaned from the portals, while clean
curtains decorated the interior and
trade was as brisk as ever. In other
words the opium vendors were say

the Chinese, and not even a police

house Blankets and Bought To-
bacco with Proceeds.

How pauper obtained wool to knit
socks and mittens, which he sold to
enable him TO buy tobacco, was de-
scribed to the West Ham magistrates
recently. The pauper was Thomas
Ledgett, 40 years old, an inmate of the
Stratford branch of the Poplar Union,
and he was charged with damaging
number of blankets, the property of
the guardians.
The master of the workhouse found
that the wool binding the edges of
blankets was being removed, and that
In five days no fewer than 345 blankets
were so damaged. A search failed to
discover who was taking the wool, but
when Ledgett was removed to the
farm colony at Laindon it came to the
knowledge of the master that he had
been seen knitting with pink wool. Fri
day the master went to Laindon, and
on searching the prisoners bed he
found bag filled with balls of pink
wool, evidently stripped from the
blankets, and three socks knitted with
pink wool Ledgett, who denied that
he had stripped 345 blankets, was SEN
fenced to two months hard labor

Moltke,s Bell Made Out Of Gun.

God grant that the guns of battle
may be melted into bells of Worship"
That was what was said the other
day by DR. Alexander, primate of all
Ireland, and that was also what was
done years ago by the man of whom,
perhaps, it was least to have been eX-
pected, to-wit, Field Marshal Won
Moltke. After the war of 1870 the old
kaiser presented Moltke with several
guns that had been captured from the
French and one of these the marshal
had melted down and converted into
new bell for the village church Of
Kresau, near his Silesian seat. The
Sabbath sound of this converted bell,
pealing across the peaceful summer
meadows, said Moltke once to violin
est friend on a visit TO him, was the
sweetest music he had ever heard.

Pigeons Care of Wounded Mate,

A farmer standing outside his farm.
house saw pair of his pigeons fly
away. Shortly afterward he heard
a shot and the pigeons did not return
in the course of the afternoon, as he
expected. In the evening, however,
the cock pigeon returned in order to
feed the young, and having seen to
this he again flew, away
The following forenoon the same
pigeon returned, helped itself to some
corn strewn in the farmyard and again
disappeared. Between two and three
o'clock in the afternoon both pigeons
returned, and it was then ascertained
that the hen bird had one wing badly
hurt by shot, but owning 10 its mates
care and perseverance it ultimately
managed to return to it's nest.-Lon-

WITH HER MIND ON ECONOMY.
Woman Had Particular and Cogent
Reason for Wishing to Sample
the Stuffed Dates.

Opposite the woman who slipped iced

dates.

the proprietor to the gray haired man
who stood next only 80 cents a
pound, and none finer In the city. Bet

They seem to be different from the
ordinary sort" said the customer.
''I>m not sure that l want any, but If

ried out.
Not five minutes afterward wom-
an rushed in. Your dates look good"
said she. May l try one? Rather
unusual filling. that"

the fattered proprietor, and he pro-
ceeded to enlarge on the ingredients
used. Shall / put you up a pound or
two?" he inquired at the close of his
disqusition.
Not now, thank you. | may come
in later" and the white linen suit
whisked out of the door.
At the corner the observer found
the gray-haired man and the white
linen dame. She heard: THAT was a
good idea of yours, Henry. They are
better than mine, and think between
us we ought to guess just about how
to make them. They are just the

Trade Follows Good Roads.

Heavy loads of farm produce are
held up by bad roads, and the better
route is chosen for them, sometimes,
even when the market is not as much
to the liking Of the farmer as the one
offered by city or town situated on
poorer highways. The important fact
about this is that the farmers usual
ly do their trading in the same place
where they market their crops, and
their trade is valuable to the mer-
chants of any city.-Sohnectady Ga.
