he said with CHEEKY demeanor.
Even as one who is waiting an an
swer. and fears not the issue.
Not far off is the house, although the
woods are between us;
But you have fingered so long, that
while you were going and coming
have fought ten battles and sacked
and demolished a city.
Come. sit down, and in order relate
to me all that has happened"
Then John Alden spake, and related
the wondrous adventure,
From beginning to end, infinitely, Just
as It happened;
How he had seen Priscilla, and how
he had sped in his courtship,
Only smoothing a little, and softening
down her refusal.
But when he came at length to the
words Priscilla had spoken.
Words SO tender and cruel: why
don't you speak Tor yourselI,
John?"
Up leaped the Captain of Plymouth,
and stamped on the floor, till his
armor
Changed on the wall, where 1t hung,
with a sound Of sinister omen.
All his pent-up wrath burst forth in a
sudden explosion,
Even as a hand-grenade. that scat

Wildly he shouted and loud John

Me. Miles Standish, your friendl have

Covered with snow, but erect, the ex-
cellent Elder Of Plymouth.
God had sifted three kingdoms to find
the wheat for this planting,
Then had sifted the wheat, as the
living seed Of a nation;
So say the chronicles old. and such
is the faith OF the people,
Near them was standing an Indian, in
attitude stern and defiant,
Naked down to the waist, and grim
and ferocious in aspect;
While on the table before them was
lying unopened a Bible.
Ponderous, bound in leather. brass
studied, printed in Holland,
And beside il outstretched the skin OF
a rattlesnake glittered,
Filled, like culver, with arrows; =
signal and challenge of warfare,
Brought by the Indian, and speaking
with arrowy tongues of defiance
This Miles Standish beheld. as he en-
tered, and heard them debating
What were an answer BETTING the

One voice only for peace, and that

Judging 1t wise and well that some at
least we're converted,
Rather than any we're slain. for this
was but Christian behaviorl
Then outspoke Miles Standish, the
stalwart Captain of Plymouth,
Muttering deep in his throat. for his
voice was husky with anger:
What! do you mean to make war
with milk and the water of roses
Is 1t to shoot red squirrels you have
your howitzer planted
There on the roof of the church, on
is 1t to shoot red devils?
Truly the only tongue that is under

Must be the tongue of fire that speaks

So spake the Captain Of Plymouth,

Chatting and choking with rage; like

But in the midst Of his anger a man
appeared at the doorway.
Bringing in uttermost haste mes

Straightway the Captain paused, and,
without further question or par

Alden was left alone. He heard the
clank OF the scabbard
Growing fainter and fainter, and dy-

Then he arose from his seat, and
looked forth into the darkness,
Felt the cool air blow on his cheek,

Who owns Shetland Islands1

1t is not perhaps generally known
that an opinion expressed half humor-
ously. by Lord Salvesen at the open
ing Of the Morse Gallery in the Scot
fish exhibition in Glasgow with re-
gard to the ownership of the Orkney
and Shetland islands is fortified by
very high authority. His lordship,
speaking as a lawyer" is not sure
whether the islands do not belong to
Norway still. and thinks that legally
the crown of Norway, If prepared to
pay the money for which they were
pledged. with interest for three hun
dred years." would be entitled to re-
deem them. AS a matter of fact, pleni-
potentiaries assembled at Breda in
1866 Ga couple of centuries after the
islands had come into the possession
of the Scottish CROWN decided not
only that the right of redemption had
not then been barred by the lapse OF
time, but that it was imprescribable.
The islands were pledged in 1868, J
that interest is due for nearly four
and a half centuries.

IRON WILL MAY FAIL
GREAT LEADER GETS HIS WAY
BY OTHER METHODS.
Followers Must Be Shown That They
All Gain Most by Yielding I'm
plicit Obedience to tho Con-
ductor's Orders.

They tell us an iron will is very
fine thing. A great general rules his
forces by his will. A parliamentary
leader drives recalcitrant members in
to the right lobby by his will, if he has
1t. Napoleon, they say, controlled all
France by his will. | have long had
doubts.
Napoleon never had to get an obsti-
nate donkey out of the way of an ex-
press train. for there were no express
trains, but had the task confronted
him doubt whether the iron will that
conquered France would have moved
the donkey. Nay. l do not doubt; am
certain 1t would not. And since men
are a great deal more stupid and more
obstinate than donkeys / am sure 1t
was not by an iron will alone that Ma
poleon ruled the French.
The iron will only served to rule
himself to keep him hard and inces-
sanity at the working out of his great
idea. the idea of convincing men that
he was the ablest among them. that
by following him they did best for
themselves. A political boss does the
same; there is no iron will involved;
merely he shows his followers that
they all gain by going with him.
And the same rule holds true In the
case OF band conductors. A military
conductor can get his way because the
men under him are punished unless
they obey him; an opera or concert
conductor may get his way because he
can throw out Of employment the men
who do not obey him.
But the true born conductor. either
military or civil. gets his way and
fine results when his bandsmen know
that by paying close attention to him
and putting their backs into their
work they help to secure perform
ances of which they may all Justly
feel proud.
When Nikisch first came here many
years ago we were told how on the
continent he was wont to magnetic
his men and make them insensibly
yield to his will 1t is likely enough
they did yield; they would have been
dismissed II they had not; but the
magnetism did not in the least work
In England. The men simply paid nc
attention to It; there might as well
nave been no magnetism at all; twas
In vain Nikisch essayed to fix them
with the glittering eye Of which we
had read so much; too much; the In
human rascals refused to be fixed; the
performances were poor and some one
must have lost a fair sum of money
over the concerts.
See what happened when Nikisct
returned not as master but as servant
Of the orchestra. The Symphony or
chestra engaged him; the glitterlnl
eye nonsense and the iron will non
sense were dropped. and at once arts
tic results were got. One might disap
prove of many things he did, and espe
cially of his affected readings. but h'

A Cincinnati drummer happened to
be put at a table at Columbus with a
number Of legislators. and the courtly
way in which they addressed each
other greatly bored the commercial
traveller II was: viii the gentleman
from Hardin do this?" and the gen
tleman from Franklin do that?" They
invariably spoke to each other as the
gentleman from whatever county they
happened to hail from.
For 10 or Is minutes the drummer
bore It in silence
Then he suddenly crushed the states
men by singing out in stentorian tones
to the waiter: VIII the gentleman
from Ethiopia please pass the butterl'
That ended the gentleman from
business.-Rehoboth Sunday Herald

Thereupon answered and said the ex-
cellent Elder OF Plymouth,
Somewhat amazed and alarmed at
this irreverent language:
mot so thought Saint Paul, nor yet
the other Apostles;
Not from the lannon's mouth were
the tongues of fire they spake
with"
But UNDECIDED fell this mild rebuke
on the Captain.
Who had advanced to the table, and
thus continued discoursing:
Leave this matter to me, for to me
by right it pertaineth.
War is a terrible trade; but in the
cause that is righteous,
Sweet is the smell Of powder: and
thus answer the challenged"
Then from the rattlesnake's skin,
with a sudden, contemptuous ges-
ture,
Jerking the Indian arrows, he filed
It with powder and bullets
Full to the very jaws, and handed IL
back to the savage,
Saying. in laundering tones: Here,
take IT, this is your answer"
Silently out of the room then glided
the glistening savage.
Bearing the serpent's skin, and seem
ing himself like a serpent,
Winding his sinuous way in the dark
to the depths Of the forest.

Doc That Guarded a Cat.

When my dog was a puppy l got q
little kitten to keep him company.
They got to be good friends, but as
they got older the cat seemed to think
she could take care Of herself.
When the cat climbed a tree II
seemed to puzzle the dog, and he
would stand below the tree and look
up at the cat and then at me. as II
trying to understand how the cat
could get up into the tree while he
had to stay on the ground.
When evening came the dog would
hunt up the cat and carry her to the
kennel where they slept at night. The
dog kept one Of his forelegs over the
cat. and there she had to stay until
morning. At last the cat was killed
but l have the dog yet.-Fur News.
