AN OLD HUNGARIAN TALE

Once upon time the creatures living
with a farmer grew tired of serving
him, and one and all deserted him Cow
and horse. cock and hen, duck and
goose, left his dwelling. Only the dog
remained behind. faithful to his master.
They wandered about all day long in
company and when night came, finding
a deserted hut in the forest, they en-
tered in and took possession of it,
The cat laid herself down in the still
warm ashes on the hearth. Horse and
COW stretched themselves out on some
loose straw in one corner. The duck
waddled under a bench. the goose under
a table, the hen flew up on top of a
cupboard. the cock on the chimney
piece. Just as they had comfortably
settled themselves for the night pack
of wolves came prowling about the hut,
and sent the oldest and strongest one
among them into il to see who il was
who had taken possession there.
When the wolf came in at the door he
saw the eats eyes glowing in the dark
and took them for live Goals on the
hearth. But when he came up closer
the cat flew at him, nearly scratching
his eyes out. The horse got up from
the straw and gave him a kick in the
ribs. And when the wolf turned to
flee from the hut the cow butted him

THE CUMBERLAND PIKE AND
THE OREGON TRAIL.

The advocacy of a national high
way from Walla Walla to Omaha by
Samuel Hill. along the route of the
old Oregon trail, recalls the histori-
cal account of the old Cumberland
road extending from Cumberland,
Md, through Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois, with branches
from Cincinnati to Chicago and ST.
Louis. This famous highway as we'll
as the Oregon trail fell into disuse
with the coming of the railroads.
Now there is a movement on foot to
reopen these great highways. This
movement, of course, has it's inspira-
ton in the use of the automobile.
But the use of the auto in competi-
ton with railroad transportation is
one of the striking facts of modern
progress and seems to prove that
history is made in cycles. A trip
from Washington on the Pacific to
Washington on the Atlantic, along
the old Oregon trail and the Cum
berland pike transformed into mod
ern macadamized highways would

the greatness of their country and

fury has wrought.
In discussing the old Cumberland
road. writer in the Technical
World says:
"A growing appreciation of the
historical value of the old Cumber-
land road has induced the states
through which it passes to under
take more or less extensive repairs
along the ancient thoroughfare.
Pennsylvania is resurfacing her part
of it, and many of the counties in
Ohio and Indiana are doing what
they can to mend the great high
way, which, in its day, was by far
the most important in this country.

with the customary dinner given by
the President and Mrs. Taft in hon
or of the cabinet members and their
wives.
A distinguished list of speakers
headed by President Taft have con-

day session.
Another notable gathering that
Washington will entertain during the

national organization devoted to the
beautifying of American communi-.

To curb the exactions of the trusts

nary steps were recently taken at the
residence of DR.. e. L. Scharf in Wash

trust league. Prominent citizens of
Washington and members of congress
were preseLt. and enough was done to-
ward the formation of an organization
national in scope to insure its progress.
The idea of organizing a league to
fight high prices In the necessaries of
life, which have been increasing yearly
until now they are out of all proper
ton to their true cost, originated from
the recent publication on the high cost
of various articles of food, particular
" meat and potatoes, two of the sta
pie foodstuffs. DR.. Scharf. formerly a
member OF the faculty of the Catholic
university and a well known econo-
mist and student of social conditions.

DR.. L. A. Bauer Tells Scientists What
Yacht Carnegie Has Accomplished.
DR.. L. A. Bauer of the Carnegie in
stitute at Washington. under whose
direction a general magnetic survey Of
the earth has been begun, spoke of the
project the other day during the con-
vention at Boston of the American As
sociation For the Advancement Of Sci
ence. The Carnegie, a vessel Of 600
tons from which all iron has been ex-
cluded and having no metals to affect
the compass and other magnetic in
struments, is now on her first trip
and is expected to reach New York
early in 1910.
1.-THE work accomplished so far has
been most gratifying" said DIR. Bauer.
1.-THE principal result OF value during
the cruise TO England was to reveal
a systematic error in the navigator's
compass charts amounting on the aver
age to about oae degree. The general
effect Of these errors would be to
throw the track of an Atlantic liner,
when her course must be shaped who'll
" by the compass and log, always to
the northward from ten to twenty
miles from the track she aims to fol-
low.
"a popularity Of the errors discov-
cred is that they turn the head of the
vessel always toward the Newfound-
land coast. whether she comes from
the east or the west Errors OF impor-
lance have also been found in the ex-
listing charts of the dip of the mag
netic needle and of the strength of
the earth's magnetic force"

RAY WEBSTER GOES
TO ROCKFORD TEAM
Young Islander fwirIer VIII Report
to New Owners at Opening of
the Coming Season.

Ray Webster, the young pitcher who
came here last year from the east to
join Jack Tighe's Islanders. has been
sold to Rockford in the Wisconsin,
Illinois league. Manager Tighe closed
the deal yesterday after a dickering
which lasted several weeks The
Rockford management is to be con-
graduated on securing Webster. as he
is a mighty clever young pitcher with
great promise for the future. He was
not regularly employed on the Islander
staff last year. as the salary legis,a-
ton made it impossible to carry him,
and the result was that he was loaned
to Ottumwa in the Central association,
where he made a good showing. Had
he been a little further developed
when he came here in the spring, it
is more than likely that he would have
been assigned to a regular berth on
the staff, but Tighe concluded that rs
he had plenty of veterans. to choose
from he could not afford to expert
ment. Accordingly Web as he is
popularity known. was farmed out for
the greater part of the year. The re-
call was sounded along towards the
close of the season and he got into
several games. 1t appeared at the
close OF. the season last year as though
Webster would be a regular man on
the team this year, but the recent sign
ing of a number of veterans has re
moved this possibility and Manager

of him to some team where he could
