The achsshira chesssn

we are often told that the Cheshire
Cheese was one of Johnson's haunts
We are told that Johnson's chair is
preserved in that tavern and that a
brass plate marks his favorite seat
The stories concerning Johnson's asso-
citation with the Cheshire Cheese are
all moonshine. There is no reason
whatever for believing that he ever en-
tered the door of that tavern, and
there is not single reference to the
Cheshire Cheese in Boswell or in any
volume of Johnsoniana. These ie-
tons really originated some sixty
years ago. in a joke played off by AL
bert Smith for the benefit of some
credulous Americans and country Wis.
itors whom he found at the Cheshire
Cheese one day. The then proprietor
was clever enough to see that the
Johnson romance might be probably
utilized. and certainly the most has
been made of it.-London Truth.

A MODERN DAVID.
By EDWIN A. NYE.-


Should some one offer you 100000
In money and trip around the world
f you would merely keep still, what
ewould you do?
"A great temptation?
Well, Richard Parr. young man of
New York, was made that offer by the
sugar trust anG refused it.
In 1894 Parr was working for the
government as sugar sampler on a
salary of $1,000 year, on which he
was supporting mother and sister.
He discovered that the government
was being cheated by the sugar trust
by a system of false weights. He
went to Washington, where he dis
closed the steal and was made spe-
tcial agent to secure evidence.
8lsargely as result Of PARIS work
SGhe government now knows that the
trust has stolen some $3O,OOO,OOO. Al
ready some 100000 of the stolen
money has been returned to the treas.
ury.
The head Of the trust died net long
ago because OF fear of prosecution, it
is said. Some Of the directors have re-
signed in hope of escape, and indict-
ments are In prospect FOR a number
of officials higher up"
Learning that Parr was after them,
the heads Of the trust tried to buy
him Off
They made the offer OF the $780,
fha kri,a
which he Indignantly spurned report
ed the offer to Roosevelt and was told
to continue his efforts.
Later Parr was offered $4,000 in
cash to give up little steel spring
taken from the trust scales. He had
the official who offered the bride ar
rested. but could not prove the at
tempted bribery.
Then his life was threatened.
Parr merely laughed.
The frightened officers of the trust
employed burglar who broke open
PARIS desk and secured some Of the
evidence.
Almost single handed this young
man has brought the greedy, thieying
trust to its knees. He is very David
to that Goliath.
Turning his back upon luxury as
well as upon threats, he has maintain
ed the integrity of his trust
And this quiet, persistent young off,
cial dfsclaims any credit for heroism
or special thanks. Like every other
hero worth while, he insists he did
only his duty

a board and slauted up against the
center pole OF a wigwam OF the Kav
tribe.
His mother was a sQuaw CT the
Kaws and his father white man.
The mother died when Curtis was
three years cid. The boy lived with
his Grandfather Curtis at Topeka.
Used to the free, open spaces. the In.
dian youth was like Il Gagged animal.
He played truant at every chance He
ran away from his books and began
Selling newspapers and shining shoes
for Il livelihood.
Young Curtis was accustomed to loaf
about a certain racing stable. where he
came to be Il jockey. He was a daring
rider aud won many races.
One day Curtis was the mount of a
vicious horse that flew the track and
threw his rider against a high board
fence. That came near ending the
boys life. 1t ended his racing career.
Afterward he became hack driver
and at the same time got an appetite
for an education.
In this respect Curtis was like that
other brilliant senator, Thurston Of
Nebraska, who got his education while
driving an Omaha hack
Studying law when he was not COL
lecting fares. Curtis was admitted to
the bar when he was only twenty-five
At twenty-four he was county prose
cutor
He went after criminals as the Kaws
used to go after the Cheyennes.
Withal he read everything worth
while, and he is today an unusually
well educated man.
He ran for congress and failed the
first time. His next campaign was sue
cessful, and its whirlwind character is
a tradition to this day. He served
three terms in congress and then went
to the senate.
Curtis is a strong partisan, but a
brilliant man, and has devoted faith
full efforts toward the betterment of
his mothers people. The much abused
and long cheated Indian has an elo-
quent champion in Curtis.
Young man
Don't.say you have no chance. What
chance had the orphan half breed who
at fifteen knew only the uncouth
speech of an Indian dialect?
In the bright lexicon of youth and
determination an old Depot hack may
be university.

The Increased cost of living of late

The average American girls love of

The husbands modest income will not
permit expensive gowns. Too often his
life is made a burden because of his
slender purse. There are reproaches.
Quarrels and finally-divorce.
Here are some sad, blunt, true words
There are women who will defy
health to make an inch smaller waist,
who will work their husbands to the
limit for costly finery, who will starve
their children and drive their men to
robbery for the sake of fashion.

father took him and jumped him up

baby protested. The congregation was

Then the mother, with father gather

The youngster was big, and, given O
fair chance, his lusty lungs raised a
tremendous howl. the howl of health
