THE CHEROKEE ROSE.
Romantic Indian Legend of This Beau

There is q beautiful romance Su0-

love with the young ci1ieftain and,
wishing to save his life, urged him 20

she would fee with him.
She consented. Before they had gone
far, impelled by regret at leaving
home, she asked permission OF her
lover to return for the purpose OF
bearing away some memento Of 1t. So,
retracing her footsteps, she broke q
sprig from the white rose which climb

and, preserving it during her fight
through the wilderness, planted it by
the door Of her new home in the land

HEARS THROUGH HIS FINGERS
Telegraph Operator 4 Valuable S&n
at His instrument, Though Com
pletely Deaf.

Peter A. Foley OF Portland, Me-, is
a telegraph operator. though totally
deaf
Since he became deaf, however, he
has developed so wonderfully the
senses of touch and sight that he can
detect the finest movements Of the
instrument and correctly interpret
them.
His nervous system is a part and
parcel Of telegraphy and by the sense
of touch In his finger tips he takes
messages transmitted from the ends
Of the continent
He can also read a message by
watching the sounder. With his left
forefnger placed lightly on the sound
er he can by his wonderful sense Of
touch take a message as accurately
as any man In the office.
He insists that he needs no more
consideration than any other operator,
for he can read the fastest trans
mitting without the slightest diffculty,
and his record of mistakes in a year
is said to be smaller than that of any
other operator in the office.
Mr.. Foley's hearing began to fail
rapidly eight years ago. He was then
considered the best operator in the
Portland Office and every effort was
made to help him. The manager of
the office arranged the receiver so it
would make a louder tick, but in a
short time he was unable to hear
even this.
There appeared no alternative but
failure. No operator in the world had
been able to work after he had lost
his hearing. The manager didn't
wish to send good man away, so he
was set to doing common work at
the same salary he had received as
an operator.
One day he announced that he
would soon be able to go back to his
old position. The manager was sur
prised. That deaf man could be a
, telegraph operator was too much to
credit, but Mr.. Foley was able to
prove that he could do it.

A REAL CLoUDBURST.
One That Descended Upon Mountain
in Scotland Tore Up Earth =
and Huge Rocks.

What q real cieudburst is like Is de-
scribed by q Scotland correspondent Of
Country Life: "a cIOudburst Of ez-
ceptional size descended on the CatEn-I
gorm mountains, and an old watcher,
who has his hut almost exactly where
the cloud burst, gives the following de-
tafis: On July 10, 1901, the morning
opened brilliantly fine and wRrm, with
a clOudless sky and brilliant sunshine,
but toward noon heavy clouds formed
on the hills, and 1t rapidly became sol
dark that it was almost impossible To-
read. He was standing In the door of
his hut, when suddenly he heard from
the hill across the glen a report Ike 4
thunderclap, followed by a noise Ike
the tearing Of linen. only a thousand
times louder and more majestic IN
sound Then he noticed that a solid
mass OF water had struck the hilltop,
and part Of it, bounding up again with
the force of the impact, had descended
on the hilltop Immediately behind his
hut Immediately afterward a tre-
mendous volume Of water came pour
ing down both hillsides, forming great
riffs In the hills as it swirled, irresisti-
bic IN its course, down rocks and
stones. The channel the food scooped
out was IN places quite twelve feet
deep, and large rocks were tossed down
its course as II they had been pebbles.
The sand and stones brought down by
the water so damned up the river Dee
that quite an extensive loch was
formed. During the time OF the cloud
burst the weather a mile or two up the
glen remained fine, but to the south
the clouds were black as night"

A Queer Way to Cook.

In certain parts of New Zealand
both native and white women use the
natural hot springs TO do their cook
ing. In the Rotorua region it mat
teTs not whether the cook wishes to
roast piece Of meat, boil potatoes. or
steam pudding, all she has to do is to
step out of doors and place the cook
ing utensil In a steam hole. The
cover is then put on, and a piece Of
coarse sacking over the whole COM
pletes the operation. In a short time
dinner is ready.
At WhakareErewa the entire earth
Just beneath the surface is a mass Of
boiling springs. Millions of gallons
OF hot water hiss and steam, sending
vapors skyward in great white clouds.
Strike the ground almost anywhere
with a stick, and the hole thus
formed fills with hot water. Hot wa
ter for baths. the weeks washing,
and for ordinary purposes Of the
household is always on hand.

What interests me about Wagner,
says a writer in London Opinion, is his
affection for live beasts and animals.
In "Siegfried" we have a dragon, and
IN +'Lohengrin," as you are all aware,
there is a very beautiful swan. When
the late Sir Augustus Harris produced
this latter opera something went
wrong with the bird Just before the

Some years ago poor widow kept a
small shop in a Berlin suburb, One
evening as she was serving a customer
a workingman stepped into the shop
and asked permission to light his pipe.
Drawing a piece OF paper from his
pocket, he twisted It up and, after
lighting his pipe, threw down the spin
and walked OF with a word Of thanks.
When sweeping the floor the follow
ing morning the widow took up the
charred paper out Of idle curiosity and,
unfolding it, saw that it was lottery
ticket, only a portion of which had
been burned. She folded 1t up, put it
away In her pocket and had almost
forgotten it, when the result Of a large
lottery drawing caught her eye in the
paper
She then remembered the crumbled
ticket in Ter pocket, and on producing
it found, to her amazement and de-
light, that it had won a prize of $780,
900. She claimed the prize. and, al
though she advertised widely for its
original owner, with the intention Of
sharing 1t with him, she was left IN

Sucn is Fame,

Miss Jane Addams, the founder Of
Hull house and the pioneer in settle
ment work in Chicago, recently was in
st. Louis, and, according to veracious
chroniclers was visited by an enter
pristng young reporter, whose first
question was, Miss Addams, have you
ever had any experience in settlement
wOTk?" When this story was re-
peated in the presence OF Senator
Frye he remarked that it reminded
him Of an experience of his own a year
or two ago. He was returning to
Washington for the session Of Con-
gress and stayed over a day or Two in
Boston. Soon after he had registered
at the Tourafne a youthful reporter
called on him, and the first question
was, Senator, have you ever taken
any interest in the ship subsidy ac-
tion?" mot much" replied the sena-
tor, dryly. "CG1 you tell me just what
1t is?" Whereupon the young man
proceeded to give a little elementary
instruction on the subject to the sena-
tor, who had been the author Of most
Of the ship subsidy bills introduced
in congress. And the venerable sena-
tor never enlightened the young man.
He says he was afraid it might have
embarrassed him.

the cult known as 'Babism" was "the
Bab"-Mirza Ali Mohammed. He 0as
born In Shiraz, Persia, in the year
1920. He was trained at first to COM
merciaI life, but pilgrimage to Mecca
awakened in his heart the religious
zeal which made him devote his life
henceforth to developing the faith
which he held. Upon his return to his
native city In 1874 he assumed the
title OF Bah, or "Gate" leading to the
truth. In the eyes Of the orthodox
Mohammedans the tenets OF the Bah
were rank heresy, and he was taken
to Tabriz and shot.-New York Amer

The following incident occurred dur

of a contractor who lives in the vicini-

his family were sitting on the yeranda
watching the storm when a bolt OF

The shock was terrific, but no one
was injured, although they were all

Tourists Who Do Their Mountain
Climbing by Telescope.
The tourist Of today who visits the
Alps and who lacks the physical en-
durance or whose time is tCo limited
TO make the ascent of some Of the IA
nous peaks nevertheless is able closely
to survey the panorama Of mountain
scenery through the medium Of power
ful telescopes located at the terminals
Of the mountain railroads. By this
means the rocks and glaciers and pc
cuIiar formations Of these historic
mountains may be carefully studied,
though the spectator need not ap-
proach them within many miles.
Each Of these mountain telescopes is
mounted on a fOrked cradle and is so
nicely balanced that it's position may
readily be fixed by the tightening OF
small thumbscrews after the focus
has been adjusted with a band wheel.
The magnifying power Of the instru-
ments varies from 35 TO 116 diameters,
but is adapted for landscape Observa-
ton only.
When weather conditions are suita-
bic, climbers on the Titlis may be seen
through the telescope at Uetliberg,
near Zurich, a distance Of forty miles.
and the hotel on the Faulhorn, sixty
miles away, may be recognized. Every
step Of the tOilers on the slopes of the
Matterhorn can be followed by means
Of the instrument on the Riffelalp

saved by the means of these glasses,

A More or Less Helpful Lessen For
Beginners.
Proceeding In a southerly direction
from the torso, we have the hips, use
ful for padding, and the legs. The
legs hold up the body and are some
times used in walking, but when nd
ing in automobiles they take up valu-
able space which otherwise might be
employed to better advantage
Attached to the legs are the feet.
Some varieties Of feet are cold. Some
people are born with cold feet, others
acquire cold feet and still others have
cold feet thrust upon them.
The surface Of the body is covered
with cuticle, which either hangs in
graceful loops or is stretched tightly
from bone TO bone.
On the face it is known as complex
ion and is used extensively for COM
purposes by dermatologists,
painters and decorators.
Between the cuticle and the bones
are the muscles, which hold the bones
together and prevent them from 1all-
ing out and Iittering up the sidewalk
as we walk along.
Packed neatly and yet compactly In
side the body are the heart, the liver
and the lungs; also the gall, which in
