"Oh, yes" replied the president. 'T

he will no doubt be confirmed at an
early date"
One Of the young men replied, "We
have not come to ask for the appoint
ment, but to solicit you to withdraw
the nomination"
"Ah," said Lincoln, ''tbat alters the
case. But on what grounds do you
wish the nomination withdrawn
The answer was, "Mr. Shrigley Is
not sound in his theological opinions"
The president inquired, ION what
questions is the gentleman unsOundF
HE does not believe in endless pun

What Her Sister Heard When She

One OF two sisters who lived togeth-

Her sister replied: 'Do not worry,

The hour for the consultation arriv-

No Drums In the Middle Ages.

As we come to the middle ages.
when the nations OF modern Europe
were struggling into existence, we find
that at first the drum was not used
at all. So, although melody had been
known and practiced <or many CEN
turtles. rhythm had been quite forgot
ten, for what there is left TO us OF
the music of the middle ages contains
no bars, and we know that it was
slowly and monotOnously chanted,
without the least accent.
In the eleventh century, however,
things began to improve, more partic-
ulaFly as the crusaders brought into
Europe all sorts Of percussion instru-
meuts from the east. Various kinds OF
drums, tambourines and cymbals were
then seen in Europe for the first time
since the days Of savages, and they
have been used, with very little
change, ever since.-St. Nicholas.

A Constant Rain of Missiles Upon the
Worlds Atmosphere.
The regions Of space beyond our
planet are filed with flying fragments.
Some meet the earth in its onward
rush, others, having attained incon-
ceivable velocity, Oyertake and crash
into the whirling sphere with loud det-
onation and .ominous glare, finding de-
struction in its molecular armOr or
perhaps ricochetting from IT again into
the unknown. Some come singly, va
grant fragments from the infinity of
space; others fall in showers, Ike gold
en- rain, all constituting a lombard
ment appalling in It's magnitude.
It has been estimated that every
twenty-four hours the earth or its at
mosphere is struck by 4OO,O00000 mis-
siles Of iron or stone, ranging from an
ounce up to tons in weight. Every
month there rush upon the flying globe
at least 12,OO0,O00,OO0 iron and stone
fragments, which, with lurid accOmpa
niment, crash into the circumambient
atmosphere.
Owing to the resistance offered by
the air few Of these solid shots strike
the earth. They move out Of space
with a possible velocity Of thirty or
forty miles per second and, Ike moths,
plunge into the revolving globe, lured
to their destruction by it's fatal attrac-
ton. The moment they enter our at
mosphere they ignite, and the air is
piled up and compressed ahead Of them
with inconceivable force, the resultant
friction producing an immediate rise In
temperature, and the shooting star, the

When an Ostrich Kicks.

Within those 45 degrees, right abaft

Of California, when the herds are being

Ill Informed as that Of judging cigar.
Nine times out OF ten, upon being
handed a cigar, he will hold it to his
nose, unlighted, sniff at the wrapper
with a critical air and deliver his YER
dict In a self satisfied manner. This
characteristic maneuver is always q
source Of amusement to any tobacco
man who happens to observe it. There
is only one way to ascertain the quail
ity OF a cigar, and that is to smoke it.
No expert will pass judgment on a
cigar until he has lighted It and
smoked it well down toward the mid
die. The first and most important
point Cpon which he bases his opinion
is the burn" Tobacco may have ev-
cry other virtue, but If it does not hold
the fire and burn evenly it is poor to-
bacco. Next In order of importance

have a pleasing smell" next comes
the flavor-the smoke must be smooth

An EpistoiarY Hint.

In the letter from Boston was q
special delivery stamp.
What did she send that for?" the
woman wondered. The information
she wants can be sent in an ordinary
letter. 1t won't need to be sent spe-
cial."
THAT stamp" said the man, ''is a
delicate hint to be quick about answer
ing. 1t is a hurry up device used by
many men. 1t is very effective. A
two cent stamp does not always spur
one on to any special effort, but a spe-
cial delivery stamp means that the
writer wants what he wants when he
wants it, and the most dilatOry cor
respondent alive is not going to let any

Sea Air.

feet tends toward excitement and con-
gestiOn and, moreover, is irregular in
its action. Out at sea 1t is tonic and

tages are not so patent on board great
liners on account OF the vibration and

MAMMOTH MINERS.

The Experts Who Prospect and Dig
For Prehistoric Creatures.
Mammoth miners are experts who
know where to prospect for mann
moths and how to dig them out, even
as the mining engineer knows where
to prospect for silver and how to ex
tract it.
In the west, in Alaska and in Sibe-
ria mammoth miners are always at
work. They are always unearthing
creatures that died 100000 years ago.
Siberia was the mammoth's true
home. Siberia 100000 years ago was
one luxuriant forest Here the fur
covered beasts, with their ten foot
trunks and their fifteen foot stature,
swarmed. Then an earthquake re-
moved a barrier range between ST.
IBERIA and the Arctic ocean, and those
low lying forests were inundated. All
their animal and vegetable life was
killed.
The first Of the drowned Siberian
mammoths was found in 1899 by an
Eskimo Yillager on the banks Of the
Lena. 1t was imbedded in a vast cake
Of ice. The villagers melted the fee,
they feasted on the 1OO,OOO-year-old
flesh, and then they sold the tusks.
Only the bones remained when Zlo-
tower Of the Petersburg Imperial mu-
scum reached that outlandish village
after a journey Of 1900 miles. He
took the bones back to the museum,
where you may see them mounted to-
day. He bought the tuskS from the
ivory traders and fixed them on the
skeleton, and the book he wrote about
his find is still a text book among the
mammoth miners Of our day.

BANDITS BLOW
Up BANK
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
BLOOMINGTON, Ills, Feb. 4 5.
masked bandits dynamited
the vault of the Citizens bank at
|Chatsworth, Ills, early today, AMI
escaped with a large sum of
money. According to the officers
of the bank the amount they stole
was about $4,000. Asheriff's
posse Immediately took up the
pursuit.
The robbers operated with sur
prising boldness and deliberation.
They appeared in the city shortly
after midnight, and found William
kayle, a night Waterman, on
guard at the bank. Taking Kayle
by surprise, they seized him and
bound and gagged him. Then
they carried him across the street
to a garage building, where
one of the robbers stood guard
over him.
The four men were approach
ing the bank when Albert Ker-
ben, a citizen, attempted to inter-
fere, but he was overpowered and
bound. He then was placed in
company with the night Waterman.
After forcing an entrance to
the building the robbers used four
charges of nitro-glycerine before
they succeeded in breaking the
safe.
They took eight thousand dol
lars in currency and about $4,000
in gold and silver.

orders to General Chamorro to
begin Immediately the long de-
ferred attack upon Managua, a
courier dispatched by Provisional
President Estrada is hurrying to-
ward Matagalpa today.
Estrada's order was wired to
the telegraph station nearest Ma
tagalpa, where Chamorro lies. At
this point it was entrusted to a
courier. 1t was as follows:
Strike fast and hard"
General Mena, with 1000 men,
is rushing toward Matagalpa,
which is being bombarded by the
administration general, Lara, to
relieve Chamorro.
The rebel leaders are confident,
however, that Chamorro would be
able to hold the city despite the
bombardment, or leave it, should
hO uColl z " uO 81.
The fact that Mena was ordered
to join forces with him immedi-
ately even before the issuing of
Estrada's order, was taken to in
dictate that the -clfief
was planning an immediate attack
upon the capital.
A third revolutionary force is
being modified in the vicinity Of
Santa Clara. Several hundred
men are said to be in the camp,
and ready to march at an hours
notice.
1t is believed Estrada's plans
to include the junction of this
force with Chamorro's and Mena' s
commands near Managua. Mena is
expected to arrive in the neigh
borhood within two days. It is
generally. believed here that Cha
MORO then will endeavor to aban-
don the city of Matagalpa and eff
feet a junction with Mena, even
though he be compelled to hisk an
attempt to cut through Lara's
lines.
In this event the move upon
Managua undoubtedly would be
begun Immediately.

State Railroad Bill
Is Knocked Out

SALEM, Ore, Feb. 1.-THE
supreme court of this state today
sustained teh decision of Judge
Galloway of the circuit court of
Marion county by declaring the
legislative act passed at the last
session of the legislature appro-
priating 100000 for the con-
struction of a road from the Pa
cific ocean to the boundary line of
Idaho, known as the Crater Lake
road, unconstitutional.
AS condition to the payment
of this money, 1t was provided
that Jackson county should ap-
propriate $4,000 for the con
struction of a road from Medford
to klamath Falls, and KKlamath
Falls county should appropriate
a similar amount to build the road
in that county.
The appropriation was made by
Jackson county, a commission
known as the Crate Lake commits
sion appointed to supervise the
expenditure of nhe money and
then an action was commenced by
l. X. Sears, through his attorney,
l.. H. Mcmahon, to restrain the
state treasurer, the secretary OF
state and governor from the pay
ment of the money on the ground
that the legislation was of a local
character and therefore contrary
to a provision of the constitution
providing that no special or local
laws should be enacted for :he
laying out or opening of highways
or the appointment or election OF
supervisors.
The cohrt held that the law was
