The Order of the shsIl.

Employees of the Krupp works can
easily be distinguished, even when at
tired in their Sunday best. Every
workman on his enrolment is present
ed with a curiously fashioned scarfpin
composed of a miniature artillery shell
made of platinum and set in silver.
After twenty years service he re-
ceives second pin modelled on the
same lines and mounted in gold. The
higher grades of employees, including
the engineers and those employed in
the counting house, wear their shells
in the form of sleeve links. The work
men are very proud of this distinction,
which they call the Order of the Shell
and wear on every possible occasion.

SPOILED ITS EFFECT.
A Speech to the Jury That Was Ef
fectively Answered.


A we'll known English barrister,
whom we will call Mr. K, was most
eloquent speaker, and his voice, par
ticularly in its pathetic tones, was
melody itself. His power over jury
was astonishing. and 1t was very sell
dom that he failed to secure a YER
dict for his client.
On one occasion, however, he was
beaten and in such a ridiculous man
ner that crowded court and even the
grave judge were convulsed with
laughter at the burlesque of the result.
The case was q charge OF murder.
Mr.. X. was for the defense. His
peroration was exceedingly touching
and beautiful.
Gentlemen OF the jury" said he,
IF you can find this unhappy prisoner
ut the bar guilty of the crime with
which he is charged after the argu-
ments to the contrary which have
laid before you, pronounce your fatal
verdict. Send him to the dungeon,
awaiting the death which he is to re-
ceive at your hands. Then go to your
families, lay your heads on your pill
lows-and sleep, II You can"
The effect of the closing words was
really thrilling. But presently the
counsel for the prosecution rose and
said:
Gentlemen of the jury, should
despair, after the affecting speech
which has been made. to you by my
slearned brother, of saying anything to
do away with his eloquence. l never
heard Mr.. X. speak that better than
when he spoke 1t now. Once i heard
him speak 1t in a case of stealing at
Leeds and again in case at Manches-
ter, and the last time l heard it was
when two men were tried for pocket
picking But never knew him to
speak It so affectingly as just now"
This was a poser. The jury looked
at one another, whispered together,
and the speaker saw instinctively that
he had them. He stopped at once,
closing with a single remark:
"If you can't see, gentlemen Of the
jury, that this speech fits all cases
then there's. no use my saying any
thing more"
And there wasn't. He had made his
case and got his verdict.-Exchange.

TRIckED THE SAVAGE.
Tho Explorers Forced Him to Leaa
Them TO Water.

Tho Explorers FORCED him TO LEAD
Thorn to Water.
A party OF explorers. four in num-
Der, were travelling ncross the sandy
plains of Western Australia. Taey had
been struggling on for weeks and
were now greatly in need OF water.
Their two camels had not had any
water to drink for nearly fortnight.
After time they came to deserted
camp hidden among some trees.
While they were looking at the still
Bmoldering campfres they were star
tied by some dreadful yells, and a
shower of spears. thrown by num-
Der OF black savages, came flying
about them.
This made the travellers so angry
that they rushed after the blacks, who
fed In all directions. After u stern
chase they found one OF the savages
up tree. As he would not come
down, one Of the travellers climbed the
tree after him.
Presently n branch OF the tree gave
way, and they both came tumbling
down, but without hurting themselves
much.
The travellers asked the black man
where they could find some water, but
he would not say.
Then they tried to get friendly with
him and gave him some food. But,
although he enjoyed the food, he
would not tell them where water was
to be found.
Then one of them had an idea.
He took some timed meat, mixed
into Il handful of salt and gave IL to
the hungry savage. The black soon
cleared 1t up and seemed to enjoy 1t,
much to the amusement of the travel
ers. Then they sat down and waited.
In about an hour the savage began
to get fdgety and wanted to leave
them, but they would not let him
go. Presently he began to wall: "Wa-
ter! WaterT
Jumping up, he ran to the densest
part of the scrub, followed by the
white men.
Clearing away some twigs. he re
vealed hidden pool of clear water.
That is the way the spring was dis
covered

OLD TIME MANNERS.
Rules of Good Behavior In the Early
Eighteenth Century.

Rules of Good Behavior In the Early
Eighteenth Century.
In work entitled youths Beha-
vior," published In 1905, there is this
injunction to young gentlemen, Put
Off thy Cap or Hat to persons of Desert
as are Churchmen, Justices and the
like, turning the Cap or Hat to thy
STEWARDS; making a Reverence, bow
ing myself more or less according to
the custom of the better bred"
In the midst of remarks which indi-
cate the utmost refinement we come
suddenly upon such directions as this:
"'Tis not manners as soon as you
are set at Table to bawl out, 4 eat
none of this. eat none Of that, care
for no Rabbit; love nothing that
tastes Of Pepper, Nutmeg. Onyons.' !"
etc.
After stating that "some have been
so refined in Foreign parts that they
will neither be covered, nor sit with
their backs to the picture of an emf
nent Person." the writer goes on to
remark that "there are some who eat
with that eagerness and Impotence,
they eat themselves out Of breath and
will pant like q broken winded Horse,
but these are not to be injured"
He also warns his pupil thus:
when you are talking to any one do
not Continually punch him In the side.
as some people do; who. after every
sentence keep asking the person they
are conversing with, Did 1 not tell
you sor What say you, sirY and in
the meantime they are every moment
jogging and thrusting him with their
elbows, which cannot be considered as
a mark of respect"

A Strenuous Preacher.

Whitefield. one of the founders of
Methodism. who died in ITO. was a
strenuous preacher. His usual pro-
gram was forty hours solid speaking
each week and this to congregations
measured in thousands, but he often
spoke for sixty hours. This was not
all, for ''after his labors. instead of
taking rest. he was engaged In offer
ing up prayers and intercessions or in
singing hymns, as his manner was, In

FERULLo COMING.
Stellar Attraction Booked For the In.
terstate Fair This Year.

SSaSS an lHto I9dTs
francesca Ferullo and his band of
fifty pieces will be the stellar musical
feature of the seventeenth annual Spo-
kane Interstate Fair
Manager Robert II. Cosgrove has
closed a contract for the appearance
at the fair next fall of the famous or
ganization which is creating such a
furore in the California musical world.
Spokane bands will furnish the reg
ular music for the Fair. and the big
band will appear only in concert pro-
grams. A new band stand for their
accommodation will be erected in front
OF the grand stand ON the west side of
the race track, and the concert num-
bers will be given between race events.
The band will be the star feature at
night, in addition to the spectacular
number. including strong pyrotech-
mic program.
Ferullo is fulfilling musical triumph
at ldOra park, Oakland. and is stated
to have a musical organization second
to none. Ferullo is demon with the
baton. In his hand the baton is a
wand drawing forth the harmonies
from the array of men who sit waiting
for its every turn and curve.
Under the spell of this struggle of
the mortal with the unseen Ferullo
twists, sQuirms, raves. and his raven
locks wave and futter. He arouses
an audience into a fever of suppressed
excitement. Sounds issue in volumes
or are repressed as whisper in an
swer to his every contortiOn.
The organization which comes to
Spokane for the seventeenth Interstate
Fair and the Fifth Dry Farming Con-
gress, Oct to q. carries vocalists,
harpists and other soloists in addition
to the regular Instrumentation, and the
organization will put on series OF
programs never equaled in this city.

ALDERMEN TOVOTE
ON UN|0N TONIGHT
With Prompt Action Cities May
Yet Consolidate in Time
for Census

The Board of Aldermen will meet to-
night for the purpose of passing on
the consolidation of Richmond and
Manchester, according to the amended
ordinance adopted at the last meeting
of the Common Council. Among the
workers for consolidation it is said
that there Is practically no doubt that
the ordinance will go through without
much discussion. A careful canvass OF
the Board Indicates that the vote will
show at least fourteen in favor of con
solidation. 1t takes but eleven for con-
currence.
Having passed the Board, the ordl-
nance must be signed by the Mayor
and then certified by City Clerk Ben T.
August to the city clerk of Manches-
ter. Richmond will have then done
its part, and the matter will be up to
vote of the people of Manchester.
While the changes made by the COM
mittee on conference curtail the ad.
vantages to Manchester to some cx-
tent. in comparison with the original
proposition. it Is said that when it
comes to vote there it will pass by
good majority. and that with but a
small margin of time the city across
the river will go in as a part of Rich
mond in the census of 1910
1t is expected that the meeting OF the
Board Will take up but few minutes,
so three other important committees
have been scheduled for tonight. They
are Grounds and Buildings, Streets and
Finance. The meetings have been
scheduled fer o'clock, but will prob
ably not be called until after the
Board has adjourned.
