A "star'sv Demands.

While travelling with the object of gathering together types of African tribes for their exploitation in an ex- hibition an agent found Herculean specimen of the Sudanese warrior. He was determined to get him at any price. At first the warrior refused f1atly to go with him. but when the agent told him he might demand what ever sum he pleased he wayered Fi- nally. after long consultation with his friends. he consented. through an in- serpreter. to accept the engagement. but added. "I must have my wife's ex- penses paid while am away" "Al right" said the agent And I must have all my mothers expenses paid" "A1l right" And 1 must have money for my children "All right. How much do you wantT' And ten months is a long time." T know it. Name your own figure" At this the war rior. with cunning gleam in his eyes, as if he were demanding a kings ran- som, named a sum which in our money amounted to a little less than $15.

HaIIey. the Astronomer.

At fifteen years of age Edmund Hal ley was the captain of St. Paul's school and already an accomplished astrono- mer. At twenty-two he was elected a fellow of the Royal society, and before he was thirty he had encouraged New ton to produce his ''Principia" and published at his own expense that fa- nous work, in which Newton gave to the world his great discovery of the law of gra vitation. For eight years Haley was editor of the Transactions of the Royal Society,"" and he was only forty-seven when Oxford made him Savilian professor of astronomy. At fifty-nine he observed and predicted the circumstances of the total solar eclipse of 1715. and at sixty-four he became the astronomer royal of Great Britain. In his seventy-ffth year he announced to the Royal society that he had made 1900 lunar observations. He was then in receipt of a salary of f1OO year, with no allowance for an assistant

Silk O'loughIin And ''SMike Tuh"
Well Known Umpire Has Copy. right on Picturesque Ex-
 preSSiOn

TWO is an unknown word at Ben nett park when Silks out there, fol then the word two becomes "Tuh, says the Detroit News
 MT. Francis O'Loughlin, the pie turesque arbiter of the diamond, has copyright on the baseball framing $ or that word. Mr. O'Loughlin has other copyrights, but he does not ex- erclse them with the same degree of joy that he bellows out that "Tuh."
 Coming from the vocal chords of any other mortal it might sound rude and "rough-neck" like, but from the nolse-producing organs of MT OLoughlIn 1t floats or rushes in an artistic way. It sounds like the best note rom the throat of a great operatic star
 'Tuh'' is to Silk O'Loughlin what a home run is to Ty Cobb, with the exception that Cobb doesn't have as many home runs as O'Loughlin has
 Tuhs. But coming down to actuai measurement, home run drive does not make MT. Cobb any happier than MT. OLoughlin finds himself when able to shout "Tuh'' during one of those tense situations when a, game hange in the balance.
 Outside of using 'Tuh," MT. OLoughlin finds much joy in wig gilng his thumb. Rapid wiggling of the thumb spells "E-X-I-T'' Silk does not believe in wasting words When a player believes that Silk" erred in his Judgment and makes too much fuss diSagreeing with MT. O'Loughlin, then follows the wiggling or the thumb and substitute is call ed for, for MT. Francis O'Loughlin at one time remarked:
 T resemble the prophets in one way. Like they, am infallible."

sAFE-MAKER vs. sAFE-BREAKER

A number of years ago two pros- pective safe-breakers succeeded in ob- taining employment in two different safe factories, worked over a period
 of years in the various departments,
 gained all the information that they
 desired, and subsequently, working to-
 gether, managed to baffle the safe
 makers by their skill in opening com
 plicated safes in differents parts of
 the country. The police were at a
 loss to understand how the safes had been opened, and only upon the appre- hension of the two men several years later was it learned that the jobs had not been inside ones, as was originally suspected, but had really been the work of two men who had been initiated into the mysteries of safecraft, and had put their knowledge to criminal use. This put the safe makers on their guard, and an ex- ceedingly complicated system was im- mediately put into force, whereby not only was the pedigree of every work man looked into closely, but the work among the employees was so separ- ated that no one man or two men could gather enough information about a safe to put it to dangerous use afterward. Furthermore, when an employe is discharged or when he voluntarily leaves his position, his ac-
 
 safe companies refuse to discuss this particular point, it is a matter of record that any former employee of safe company, who is possessed of intimate information regarding the se- crets of that company's safes, is kept under constant surveillance. As an illustration of the thoroughness with which this is done, there may be cit ed the case of a former superintendent of one of the principal safe companies, who was discharged eight years ago for intoxication, who subsequently, sought and obtained a position as su- perintendent of an iron foundry in the Middle West, who has now held that position for the last seven years. who has done his work well, and who is yet kept under the eye of a detec- tive in the safe company's pay There is not the slightest reason to doubt the mans integrity, but as has been suggested by the mans employer, who knows his superintendent is being watched the safe company seems un- willing to take the slightest chance George Jean Nathan, in Harper's Weekly

TO ONE I KNEW.

Three years have burned to ashes
 since we met Ashes of roses, for their perfume
 clings
 To memory-and still around me wings The alf-forgotten song I'll ne'er for get The burden of the word is sweet and
 yet
 No fairer than the songs that still
 shall be;
 Each year a rose to bloom and burn Your hand in mine with lovely intent
 set. More beautiful to me you are to-day Than in that hour a thousand days ago
 When. lifting wearily, these eyes
 met yours; For I have learned from you that love endures; Your hand has stirred the waning fires aglow And set lifes jeweled censers all asway. Gardner Weeks Wood in Harper's xl,x

wise waterless region, this lake fur nishes the underground water supplies for many streams radfating from it in almost every direction. Most of the approaches to the lake lead through splendid forests, valley meadows and natural pastures.
 VIEWS ARE INCOMPARABLY I'M
 PRBSSIVE.
 The highest point in the Crater Lake National Park, as shown on the Sur yey's map, is Scott Peak, 8,941 feet in elevation. This was simply a min- or peak on the southeast side of Mount Mazama. From it the view. accord ing to MT. Chapman, is incomparably fine. On the opposite rim of the lake apparently but a pistol shot distant, so clear is the air, stand out The ly equal height with Scott Peak. To the south lies the great Klamath Lake, and far to the south Mount Shasta loses it's snow-capped crown in the skies. At a still farther distance to the north towers Mount Hood.
 In the Government survey the park was surrounded by 130 iron boundary posts, and concrete piers have been erected at the four corners and the two entrances, one on the south and the other on the west.
 The map of Crater Lake National Park will be issued in two editions, the regulation map and the pocket edition, folded and bound in covers. These maps may be obtained from the Director of the United States Geolog- ical Survey at Washington after June 1.

Cheerfutness.

Cheerfulness is the great cure. If you are not cheerful already try to acquire the habit. It will not require much trying either. Accordingly as one likes or dislikes beings and things he becomes cheerful or the opposite. The temptation to dislike animate or inanimate objects lies in wait for every one. Be on your guard You can drive it off by liking a bird or a flower.
 Hate never made any man happy. But in order to be unhappy one does not need to be a hater. Simple dis like will sour all tue milk in the cocoa nut of cheerfulness Your choice is not restricted. If you do not like a man or do not love a woman. why. then. like a dog. Even a cat may be an inspirer of cheerfulness.
 Liking is a sun which can make even an iceberg nature respiendent with the aurora of cheerfuIness.-Bos- ton Globe.

When TannehiII

Southpaw Made Topsey Hartsel
 Walk on His Hands

'The funniest guy I ever encoun- tered With a bun on,' says Topsy Hartsel, was Jesse Tannehill, the left-handed pitcher. Jesse, didn't tank up often or enough to hurt him, but when he did get full he was a terror One night, in Boston hotel, I heard noises and loud indications of trou- ble. l went out into the hall, and before me loomed up Jesse Tannehill with a smokewagon as big as a house in his left hand
 Whats the matter, Jes?' I de- manded.
 The matter, Rabbit he re. sponded, is just thls: lin gunnIus for little men and you're the smallest I'm likely to find anywhere World is full of little men. Got no use for them. Now, then, Rabbit, you walk on your hands all the way back to your room, and go in and lock the door. Hurry, now. Stand on your head and walk back that way, or I'll fill you full of holes.'

Antiquity of Wrestling.

Probably the first authentic record of a wrestling match is in A. D. 1x22. when chiralry on the European conti- nent was undergoing change for the better. During the reign of Henry ILL of England a match took place in St Giles field. London. between citizens of Westminster and the city of London proper. Wrestling was. however, pop ular as a pastime in England at . much earlier period. and from that country many Of the different styles originated.

SUMMER HATS.

Now that the Easter hat is sold, the shops are turning their attention to midsummer effects for all outdoor occasions and for dressy wear
 The smart trade are calling for Panamas, draped and banded. These are smartest when very large and pressed in a faring sombrero shape. Silk grenadine makes a cool looking draping. LeghOrn is used for shirt waist and outing hats. The brims are nearly always bound with white gros- grain. Peanut straw, soft milan and Summer fe,ts all attract the Summer girl and make her in turn more att tractive.
 For motoring the soft eollapsible toQues are preferred to bonnets, for such effects are not unsightly out of the motor Or quite unassociated with it. Except for this purpose or some thing akin to it the collapsible hat is, however, not over prominent. A soft drapering of ribbon or piece goods often drawn through the straw makes the best trimming for a hat of this character, perhaps further ornamented by one or more rosettes or choux or one smart but not very large quill
 Within the last thirty days or so bright green has made great strides to the fore, particularly in combina- tion with black. A change has been rung in the still popular black and white combination by using oyster white, which is slightly off the white, and while to the initiated it, appears smart enough to those who are not 'in the know it comes dangerously near looking soiled
 The many ostrich trimmed models that are being worn and that are be- ing offered for later on show a pref erence for the uncurled feathers which makes them more practical. Indeed there is a noticeable durability about most of this Springs hat crop, for there are few very light, albeit many bright colors and few transparent eff fects in spite of the fact that lace is used to no inconsiderable amount. The ma jority of straws chosen are heavy looking, indeed, and while the hats to date are bright and cheery in eff feet they are far from suggesting balmy days.
 The kiddies have not been neglected thk; year. Their hats are curiously like their elders. the soft milans. Pan amas and peanut effects except for the size of their headsize might serve for both. Two practical hats of soft milan gwhich can be turned up or down to protect the eyes are both simply trimmed with bright velvet rib bon.-The Millinery Trade Review.

WARNING TO RAILROAD MEN.

E. S. Bacon, Il East St., Bath, Me sends out this warning to raiiroaders: "A conductor on the railroad, my work caused a chronic inflammation of the kidneys, and I was misegabls and all played out. A friend advised Foley Kidney Pills and from the day I commenced taking them, began to regain my strength. The inflammation cleared and I am far better than have been for twenty years. The weakness and dizzy spells are a thing of the past and I highly recommend Foley Kidney Pills" F. B. Brill; Curtis Pharmacy.

ROGER AND l."

By Dr. Julian S. Cutler. of Little falis, N. Y., in N. Y. Sum- We'll Roger, my dear old doggie, they say. that your race is run; And our jolly tramps together up an6 down the world are done; You're only dog, old fellow, a dog and you've had your day, But never a friend of all my friends has been truer than you alway. \ We've had glorious times together ir the fields and pastures fair; In storm and sunny weather we have romped without a care; And however men have treated me though foul or fair their deal However many the friends that failed I've found you true as steel. That's right, my dear old fellow, look
 up with your knowing eye, EAnd lick my hand with your loving
 tongue that never told a lie; And don't be afraid, old doggie, if your
 time has come to go, For somewhere out in the great Un-
 known there's a place for you,
 know.
 Then don't you worry. old comrade,
 and don't you fear to die, For out in that fairer country will
 find you by and by; And I'll stand by you, old fellow, and
 our love will surely win, For never a heaven shall harbor me
 where they won't let Roger in. When I reach that city glorious, be-
 hind the waiting dark Just come and stand outside the gate
 and wag your tail and bark, I'll hear your voice and I'll know it,
 and I'll come to the gate and say: St. Peter, that's my dog out there;
 you must let him come this way" And then if the saint refuses I'll go
 to the One above And say: "Old Roger is at the gate
 with his heart brimful of love; And there isn't a shining angel of all
 the heavenly band Whoever lived a nobler life than he
 in the earthly land" Then I know the gate will open and
 you will come frisking in, And we'll roam fair fields together in
 country free from sin, So never you mind, old Roger, if your
 time has come to go; You've been true to me, I'll be true to
 you, and the Lord is good we know,
