1t Is a great mistake to believe that
the rich are holding us down. AS a
matter of fact, they are pulling us up.
II there were no rich people to keep
our eyes glued upon the great gulf
between having and not having none
Of us would hustle We have to have
the rich mans mansions prodding us,
his power scourging US and his auto
mobile butting us TO get anywhere at
all. We have to see his wife and
daughters In silks and jewels and
realize what our own wives and daugh-
tiers without these things think Of us
rs providers to peel our coats off and
get into the game. None of us can go
out driving with such as we have and
suffer the rich man to whiz past us
in prism glass and FURNISHED brass,
throwing dust in our eyes and gasoline
in our hair, without doing better in the
great area Of human endeavor for the
next two or three days anyway. Bless
ed are the rich, for they fill us with
shame and new resolve and make us

have been doing all these years.-St.

TO THE
Owners of Dogs!
MAYORS OFFICE.

Alexandria. Va, June II, 1910
All persons owning or intending to
keep any animal of the dog or canine
species should come forward on or before
JUNE TWENTY-EIGHTH, 1910
and take out license for the same from
the Auditor. After the 3Oth of June all
persons owning or harboring dogs with
out the required license are subject TO n
fine as the laws on the subject require of
$500 or 500.
Complaint has been frequently made
that many persons fail TO take out their
license. and that others pay on one or
two dogs when owning and harboring
more, or who send such dogs away dur
ing the summer months and bring them
back i'm the fall.
Attention has been called to this eva
sion Of the law. and policemen will re-
port all such cases. and fines can he inn
posed upon those who fail to take out
licenses after trial i'm the Police Court.
In order to avoid any mistakes persons
who make application for licenses would
do well to write their names and number
of residence. street. etc, on IA card or
paper when making application for their
licenses to the Auditor
Attention is also called TO the fact that
while the payment ola license tax is re-

Rurnn,a nRridn of AhYdos."

1t was after Lord Byron arrived In
Greece that he wrote that beautiful
poem "The Bride Of Abydos" and that
exquisite song the Maid Of Athens"
which, says a Paris contemporary,
every Engllshman Of culture knows by
heart. Documents enable us to estab-
llsh the true identity Of the heroine
of this poem. She was one Of the
three daughters of Mr.. Black. English
vice consul at Athens, at whose house
Byron for some time lived. After the
departure of the poet Theresa Black
married an archaeolOglst, NJ. Plttakis,
whose widow she became several
years later. Her beauty. her charm,
her elegance, conquered every heart.

How a Coal Fire Protects Itself.


A curious way in which fire In the
heart of a coal pile keeps itself from
being put out is noted In a mining
Journal. Such fires often start In the
interior of large piles of coal owing
to heat developed by slow oxidation,
which is prevented by the size Of the
pile from escaping into the air. Such
fires are difficult to put ous owing to
the fact that the burning mass turns
the coal around it into coke. which Is
nearly impervlOus to water. The pile
may thus be thoroughly drenched
without putting out the fire, which 1t
never really reaches. The only way
TO deal with the situation is to drive
into the pile sharpened iron pipe,
long enough to reach the burning coal.
and then to couple a hose to the upper
end and turn on the water.

Tho Cocoa Plantation.

A traveller in South America, where
the cocoa tree is largely cultivated,
speaks Of the great care with which
the young plants have to be protected
from the sun. which If very strong Is
fatal to them. To secure this protec-
ton the planters shield them by ba-
mana trees and plalntain trees, the
broad leaves of which give them the
needed shade. And even when they
are fully grown they need protection,
which is given by trees known as i'm
mortels," or, as the planters call them,
"the mother of the cocoa" Thus the
whole cocoa plantation has n sort Of
canopy.

The GUN Charmers.

Among the more superstitiOusly in
clined of the sporting Cingalese are
gun charmers, who allege that a gun
may be charmed in different ways and
by different methods. An essential
part Of the process, however, appears
70 be the muttering of certain formu-
lac.
A gun, the charmers say, may be
charmed in any one Of the following
four ways: a. SO that it will wound
tho animal fired at. but will not Kill
outright; (2) so that he who carries ii
shall find nothing worth shooting; 81
so that it will not kill anything flying,
but will kill animals that run. and
"a so that it will not kill anything
that runs, but will kill anything flying.
No gun can be charmed at all If the
owner takes the precaution Of rubbing
some pork fat on the barrel or at
taches a piece Of the outer skin Of the
rat snake to the stock In such way
that 1t cannot be seen.
