AN EXPRESSION OF THANKS

Appointed by the w. C. T. U. as soliciting committee to secure funds for placing seats in the assembly room of the new w. c. T. U. build
 ing. Mrs. Ellen Broadbooks- Cole re- ports that she has fully accomplished that work. raising in cash a little over the $1S0 it was estimated as necessary for the purpose. She de- sires to express her sincere thanks to all contributors to the fund, as much to the small donors as the large ones. for she realizes that it is as hard for some people to give a mite as for others to give much. An other fact she desires mentioned is that in the course of her soliciting she met several persons who have often proved their friendship in time of need and who stated that they would in this instance contribute to the cause if necessary, as they knew she would not be engaged in any but a worthy purpose. However. they have recently been frequently called upon for one thing and another and to contribute to this would be some thing of hardship. In such cases she told them that she would try and raise the money from others and only return to them in the event she was unsuccessful She is happy to say that she was successful and desires such friends to know. that she appreciates their liberality. and will reserve her credit" with them for some more strenuous occasion when other friends are fewer or the emergency is greater. She is grate- ful for past favors and is truly glad that she has succeeded so well in this undertaking without burden ing those who always respond when she insists.

 A REMUNERATivE PROFESSION There's money in this hobo business. as the career of James Oliver for a single day proved. Yesterday morning Oliver. who had drifted into town the night before. had to bum" his break fast at Class Bros one of the pro- prietors let him feed to the extent of 25 cents and regarded the victuels which went into Oliver's stomach, as bread cast upon the waters Last night when oliver was picked up by Constable Murphy for a disturbance of the. peace he had s4.15. part of the proceeds of his enterprise in assidu- ously working both sides of the street. But that was not all. He had accumu- lated a ."shine-on'' that was beauty in its way and could not have been procured for less than s4 of any mans money.
 AN ERROR-In an article in The Republican yesterday, headed Cows Never Tasted Alfalfa Before" a se- rious error was made. It was stated that two cows belonging to A. G. Cate of Amherst. Wis, were fed ten bales of. alfalfa from the Bartlett Heard ex
 hibit at Chicago and that the cows gained. in consequence. two and half pounds a day. It was entirely the fault of the reporter who did not know that thoroughbred Jersey cows are not raised and fattened for the market. The reporters education has been metropolitan rather than rural. The statement should have been that the cows. which had been milked for sev- en months, gave two and a. half pounds of milk. or over quart a day. more. than they did before they en- tered on the alfalfa diet

The two Indians who have been taken were seen in the Buckeye country. but Tempe had already left their company. He is described as five feet eight inch3s tall; age 22 and weight about fs5. fHe. is dark even for. an Indian.

Son of Shepherd Chief.

He was born in 1886. in the kabitaka or
tent of Teragay. his father, who was chief
of band of shepherds. When the child
was taken to mullah of noted sanctity
to receive his name, the priest happened
to be reading aloud from the Koran the
lines:
Are We sure that he who dwells in
heaven will not bid the earth to devour
you? Lo, it shall shaker
AS he pronounced the last word the
mullah was interrupted by Teragay, and
remarked indifferenty:
Let the child be called Timour'' the
Arabic word for shake"
The boy grew up with other children of
the desert, and could ride and draw a
bow almost as soon as he could walk The
priest took fancy to him and taught
him to read. He was always leader of
his playmateS, and at seventeen was the
boldest horseman. the most skillful hunter
and the hero of HIS tribe.
Then he began to have dreams and saw
strange visions. In one of them the

Timour was the ancestor of Akbar. the
great MoguI of India, who created the
glorious marble symphonies of Delhi, and
of Shah Jehan, who built the Tai Mahal,
at Agra. India, admitted to be the most
beautiful structure ever framed by hui
man hands.
Tamerlane was a nickname given to
TimOur by his soldiers after lie recovered
from a wound that crippled him for life.
He was one of the ugliest men in his
tory. A Persian poet declared that "a
sight of him would derange the ecstasies
of the orthodox" He was not only a
cripple, but was blind in one eye.
1t is said that one day he CHANGED to
catch sight of himself in a mirror and
was so Mortified by his u2liness that he
began to weep. Chodscha, one of his ia
vorites. expOstulated, saying:
eff thou hast seen thy face but once,
and, seeing. hast not been able to control
thy grief, what should We do who look
upon thy face every day and every night?''
But notwithstanding these deformities
Tamerlane possessed extraordinary per-
sonal magnetism and a dignity which
compelled recognition of his ability and
character. One Of his admirers declared
that he was strong as an elephant, his
shadow extends for miles his heart is as
boundless as the ocean, and his hands are
like the clouds when rain falls to glad

SAMARkAND. Central Asia, July s, 1910.
Timour the Tartar was one of those
splendid. spectacular figures that occa-
sionally illumined the history of the east.
He conquered all Asia. For a quarter
of century he was practically master of
the entire world. He was the founder
of the mogul dynasty of India and the
first of the conauerors and kings beyond
the Bosphorus to display a taste for
architecture and an ambition to create
monuments of majesty and beauty.
Under him and his successors was de-
veloped in India Turkestan and Persia
what is known as the Saracenic or Ara
besque school of architects which express
ed it's ideas in grandeur of proportions
and massiveness rather than in delicacy
of detail 1t grouped great piles of ma
sorry of perfect symmetry and enameled
them with tiles of turquoise and sapphire
and inscriptions in Sanskrit characters,
which form the NEST artistic friezes you
can imagine.
Like Katherine III of Russia, Frederick
the Great of Prussia and Louis XIV of
France, he brought to his capital artists,
architects and scholars from all the
world Mosques. medresSes and tombs of
Samarkand still demonstrate their genius
and his generosity.
