THE COOKS FAULT

One of the most annoying things
about swans is that they live to an
extremely great age, and that it is
impossible for the ordinary observer to
guess what their years may be. Presi
dent Grover Cleveland once had an
amusing experience with some swans,
according to a writer in the American
Magazine. He had been in the south,
shooting, and brought home number
of wild swans, one of which he sent to
each member Of his cabinet, and also
to some other associates.
"All the boys" said Mr.. Cleveland,
thanked me politely for having re-
membered them, but none of them
seemed to have much to say about
how they enjoyed the birds.

hoped l wouldn't mind, but he had
sent his home to his old mother
''Thurber didn't mention that he had
received his bird at all for two days.
Finally 1 asked him about it.
"Thurber, did you get that swan
all right?'
Yes, sir, oh, yes, 1 got the swan all
right, thank you,' and he bent over his
desk and seemed very busy.
Fine Bird I said.
"'Yes, sir, fine Bird and he went on
working.
Enjoy eating him, Thurber?'
He waited a minute, and then he
said: Well, sir l guess they didn't
cook him right at my house. They
only cooked him two days. and he
went on working without cracking a
smile"

ARMLEss ARTISTS TRIUMPH

One of the few sensations of the
Royal academy exhibition Is most ex-
cellent picture which was painted by
an armless artist with brush held be-
tween his teeth, says London Opinion.
This remarkabl feat has been achieved
by Bertram Hiles, who lost both his
arms in a tramcar accident when he
was only years old. Before this ter
rible occurrence Mr.. Hiles had shown a
marked talent for drawing. Determined
not to be beaten, he set to work to
train his mouth to hold and use PEN
Gil, and after several years OF constant
practice he could write and draw bet
ter than most boys of his age. At the
age of 10 he gained a first class excel
lent in freehand drawing at the School
of Art in Bristol, his native city.
Later on he obtained such marvellous
control of his mouth and the muscles
of his neck that his work won for him
a national scholarship valued at 100
guineas, and a number of valuable
prizes carried off in open competition
at South Kensington. After studying
in Paris Mr.. Hiles began a successful
artistic career in London. His pictures
found ready purchasers, among his
patrons being Queen Victoria; and he
exhibited constantly at the Royal So
ciety of British Artists, the Royal In
stitute of Painters in Water Colors, the
Dudley gallery and other well known
galleries. Mr.. Hiles' canvases are
small, as a rule, but he has painted
landscapes as large as four feet by
two feet. His extraordinary career, to
quote a leading art authority, reveals
a strength of character almost unique
in the annals of art"

MIcHELANGELo's DAWN
(By a Sailor.)


Your eyes have penetrated to the naked end
Stared through the aching emptiness OF
space;
In the inexorable years, was there no friend
To bring some thought of gladness to your
face?
Did you find nothing in the hills and forests
fair,
Nor flower. fern, nor cedar-tree with
shade,
And beauty but a mirage, mocking your
despair,
Long silence and shadows your answer when
you prayed?
would that I could read what made you sad
and wise
And, robed in silence, why you change con-
tinually,
As changes come where even the great still
ness lies,
think, as every generation passes by,
There are some souls that keep the cool of
dawn,
Whose eyes on cloudy days reflect the clear
blue sky
Whose feet at still tread frozen lawn,
The eagerness that once you surely had was
spent
As seed on sand, as toll upon the sea
Did God whose thought in the dawn he
sent
Send only that gray light to comfort thee?
Ascetic. splendid dreamer. was the end of
dreams
ath lost and hope that overshot the mark,
Lost in the light of tickle mountain streams
While tides were marching dawnward through
the dark?

RISEN FROM THE DEAD

Benedello Marcello one of the most
famous Venetian composers, fell in love
with a beautiful girl named Leonora
Manfrotti, who married Paolo Sedanzo,
a Venetian noble. She died a short
time after her marriage, a victim to the
harsh and jealous treatment of her hus-
band.
Her body was laid out in state in the
church of Wei Frari, and her lover
actually succeeded in stealing the
corpse and conveying it to ruined
crypt in one of the islands, and here
he sat day and night by his lost love,
singing and playing to her, as though
by the force of his art he could recall
her to life.
Leonora had a twin sister, Eliade,
who was so like her that her closest
friends could scarcely distinguish them.
One day Elade heard a singer in
gondola singing so eXquisitely that she
traced the gondola to the deserted ISL
and, and there she learned later the
fate of her sisters corpse and the
identity of Marcello. Aided by ser
want, Eliiade substituted herself for
her sisters body, and when Marcello
returned and called Leonora to awake
he did not ask in vain, for apparently
she rose alive from the coffin. Mar

WHY is TABLE KNIFE ROUNDED?

Until the seventeenth century knife
blades had pointed ends, as can be
readily understood when the knife of
those days was used for hunting and
table purposes indiscriminately. The
rounded end was introduced from
France in a curious way. 1t happened
that Cardinal Richelieu was compelled
to entertain Chancellor Sequier-a vul-
gar and unmannerly man, who, at the
close of the meal, proceeded to use his
knife as toothpick This vulgar act
so upset the cardinal that he ordered
the end of every knife in mis- possess
sion to be rounded, and SO great was
Richelieu's influence that the fashion
was soon adopted all over the country.
This is the vulgar, but nevertheless in
teresting origin of the rounded knife of
today-Tit-Bit

Scientific Temperance Instruc'
ton.

There is a persistent effort being
made in some states to weaken or
repeal the law requiring children
to be taught the evils and dangers
of strong drink. Our people
ought not to be deceived by soph-
istry or the pretentions Of 'sad-
vanced pedagogy" or any other
subterfuge. 1t is simply and only
a desire to place less emphasis
upon this important subject.
Don't bother about technical
theories, teach the boys and girls
that liquor in all forms is unnec-
essary and harmful, and stand
firm against the repeal Of the law.

Alcoholism in France.

1t is often asserted by the
apologists of the liquor traffic that
light wines, beer, ETC., do not lead
to drunkenness. Here is a lesson
from the land of such drinks,
taken from the Los angeles Times:
"Such has been the increase OF
alcoholism in France that the
Academy Of Medicine is consider
ing the situation presented in it's
relation to children. DR.. Brunon
of Rouen reports that in Nor
mandy alcoholism is increasing in
terrifying proportion. Alcoholic
drinks are frequently given there
even to sucking babes. When
children are i'll alcohol is the first
remedy given even In cases Of
commissions. Women have par
ticularly taken more and more to
alcohol, and this accounts for the
increase Of alcoholism among
children.
AT the present time it Is the
mode for the youth so take absinth,
and in this is involved the greatest
danger. Many young men, some
times three-fourths to the whole
number drawn, appear at exami-
nations for the army more or Less
drunk, while fifteen or twenty

at the examinations."-Th Ame.

Facts for the Fight.

Ilaho ha, now seven Prahiti-
ton counties, including Fremont,
Bingham, Bear Lake, Oneida,
Canton, Bannock and Idaho (the
lirgest county in the United
States.) Fremont recently voted
Z to 1 for Prohibition. A large
Mormon population resides in
these counties. IL of the % coun-
ties of the State will be dry by
January 1, 1909, eight months
after the County Option went into
effect, is the prediction made by
Idaho leaders. The influence of
Woman's Suffrage is credited with
much of this success.
The 0meha Daily News has quit
publishing liquor advertisements
and taken it's stand in the same
class with NdshUiIEe Tennessedn,
Atlanta Georgian, and other clean
and Independent dailies of the
country.
A fight for State Prohibition in
Arkansas is being renewed, the
intention now being to concen-
trate the struggle on the election
of a State Senate favorable to a
state wide bill. The House OF
Representatives has long been
overwhelmingly for Prohibition.
The Nashville TenneSseean says:
"General Grant has no apologies
to offer for wearing his uniform
while heading Chicago's law en-.
forcement parade. What does tht
army stand for if not for law en-
forcement? The saloonists may
just as we'll make up their minds
that liquor is no longer enthroned
From now on the decent folks
propose running municipal, State
and National Government"
Texas has only twenty-fou
totally wet counties. In 1887 Their
were only five totally dry coun
ties. County Prohibition nov
prevails in 1877, and Prohibition
