4 LINGUISTIC escAPAoe.
When Henry W. Lengfellow Shocked
 intellectual Boston.


 In the original impression of Long fellows poem of "Hiawatha" there were found in the seventh book the three lines following:
 Straight into the river Kwasind
 Plunged as if he were an otter.
 Dove as if he were a beaver.
 How this offending preterit passed the proofreader without protest is one of those mysteries which have never been revealed. But the form certainly made it's appearance and can still be found fin copies of the poem which were regularly published and sold. Boston never received such a shock since tine days when Fenimore Cooper insisted that 1t was only fin the middle states that the English language was spoken in it's purity. But that attack came from an outsider. Here the of fender was of her own household. was. in fact. her favorite son. What means If suppression were resorted to will probably never be disclosed. A myste- rious reticence has always been pre- served in regard to this linguistic esca- pade. The biographers of LOngfellow appear to be silent upon the subject. Measures of some sort must, however. have been taken at ohce. Dove was eSpungcd. and the decor0us "dived" assumed it's place. and the whole trans action was so completely hushed up tbat no public scandal was created. Let him who possesses a copy of that first impression continue to cherish 1t. Whatever may be its worth now. the time win come when it will reach the value of the yirtuous woman of Scrip turc, and lis price will be far above rubies.- Professor Thomas R.

4 Suggestion That Changed the Plans
 of Pope.
 At time when there was great suf- ferlng among the people from lack of food and when famine in it's worst form was threatened Pope Alexander VI. had made arrangements for the erection of a magnificent palace. The hest architects bad been employed. and the plans hhd been submitted and ac- e6pted. and an accomplished builder had been sent for to come from Venice, a man whose work had won for him rcnown and who was known to be a j1st and upright man.
 The bnilder had arrived, and at an appointed time he waited upon his holiness to receive the plans and make bis estimates. There is one thing yet to be dcne." said the pope. There has been no proper inscription or leg end thought of to be placed over the main entrance of the palace. It should be put above the great gate. You have had experience. Do you thini. of an in- scription that would be appropriateF
 .'if your holiness would pardon me for the liberty. l might suggest one most appropriate at this time."
 You are pardoned in advance" said the pope. smiling. "Now, what shall it beT7
 sovereign pontlf. let 1t be thus: Command that these stones De made broadr"
 The pope was visibly and deeply af- fectcd. He paid the builder munih- gently for his expenses of coming and going. and instead Of building his pal ace he fed the hungry ones of lis children.

the trail noPy as before. Before, you
might start the game without seeing it;
now, you may see it, but get only q
wild running shot. You must get around
on the leeWard side and work slowly
back and forth across the wind. Now,
however you have this advantage. In
coming here the deer would not spend
over two or three hours and often much
less; once here and lying down they
will stay until we'll toward the middle
of the afternoon or later, unless alarm
ed. So if you are sure they are on the
ground you can take plenty of time to
move carefully; keep on the highest
ground, keep off of the trail, and use
that patience which is so essential IN
still hunting. The chances are that it
will be but a running shot if deer are
wild enough for good hunting, but II
will often be a good one, and if you fat
20 connect you will still feel you have
done something well worth the, doing.

Plymouth Rock Fowls.

Plymouth Rock fowls should weigh
as follows: Cocks, 9R pounds; cox
crels, s pounds; hens, ~ pounds; pull
lets, 6la pounds. In size this breed
is between the Brahma ard L@gho!n.
The most typical and useful specimens
are those that are bred nearest the
weights before described and are
known as standard weights. The
breed is most nearly approached by
the Wyandotte and OrpinStDn in type,
but is between the two in weight and
not so "blocky" Well bred specimens
of ali these breeds are distinctly diff
ferent in all sections, a fact worthy of
special study by fanciers of them, for
| the reason that there is a tendency
to merge the Plymouth Rock, Wyan-
dotte and Orpington families into a
common type.
The three varieties of Plymouth
Rocks, Barred, White and Buff, should
be IDENTICAL except in color. The col
or of the Barred variety is exceedingly
difficult to describs: in fact, the true
and exact shades rpn be learned only
by observation. r "a cOlOrS are modi-
fed black and N..i' in all sections;

of the Barred Plymouth Rock should

portions of the fowl and be barred tc

The Small Farmer in Alaska.

There are fully 10000 square miles of
Alaska suited for grazing or agricul-
ture,-an area equal to three-quarters
of the State of Ohio. Make this ac-
cessible and develop local markets and
the farmer will come,--if not from the
States, then from northern Europe, a
region which has already furnished
many good citizens to Alaska. Finland
supports three million people and ex-
ports agricultural products. Yet the
Finnish colonist will find in Alaska a
better climate and soil than in his
native land Be it remembered, how
ever, that Alaska is far from an ideal
farming region. The growing season
is short and the winters long and
severe. 1t will probably never furnish
agricultural products except for local
consumption, but that such a market
will prove a lucrative one is shown by
the success of the many small farms
and gardens already under cultivation
