4 Pair Of Cheerful liars.

The crowd in, the little country store
was watching the rain when Deacon
Witherspoon remarked that he'd seen
it rain about as hard as anybody eve,
had seen it rain. Somebody said:
Deacon, how hard did you ever see
t rain?''
"Well, sir" said the deacon, 'once
upon time. when was at home, we
had an old cider barrel laying out in
the yard with both ends out and the
0unghole up. and. would you believe it,
it rained1 so hard into that bunghole
that water couldn't run out Of both
ends fast. enough. and it swelled up
and busted|
, Then Reuben Henry spoke up. He
said he'd never, seen it rain very hard,
but he'd seen some mighty cold wealth
er. Somebody said. ''Rube, how cold
did you ever see 1t get?"
He said. Well. sir, one time when l
was living down in Pickaway county.
in hog killing time. we had q kettle of
boiling water setting on the stove,
and we took it out In the yard, and it
froze so doggone quick the ice was

Black Inhabitants Of France.

Lying 50 much on the beaten track.
the village Of Port Lesne. in the Jura
department Of France. is visited by
but few from the outside world. and
consequently this tiny community of
men and women of color is but little
known. 1t is not large village, for
it's Inhabitants number only about a
hundred. but every one is either black
or copper colored. 1t owes its origin
to the fact that about a century ago
the. famous negro chief. Toussaint
L'Ouverture.. was brought from Haiti
and imprisoned in Fort de Joux.
Many of his friends. all negroes, fol-
lowed him and encamped near his
prison on the bank of the little river
Ioue. From that encampment grew
the village Of Port Lesne. and when
Toussaint L'Ouyerture died more than
100 years ago bis friends decided to
remain in France. The passing OF
years and intermarriages have trans
formed the settlement into a French
village of colored folk, all of whom
are enfranchfsed. : H..

Power Of Natures Beauty.

Have you never felt the marvellous
power of beauty in nature? If not you
have missed one of the most exquisite
joys in life, says Orison SWEET Marden
in Success Magazine. l was once go
ing through the Yosemite valley, and
after riding 100 miles in stagecoach
over rough mountain roads was so
completely exhausted that it did not
seem as though 1 could keep my seat
while we travelled over the ten more
miles which would bring us to our des-
tination. But on looking down from
the top of the mountain caught
glimpse Of the celebrated Yosemite
falls and the. surrounding scenery just
as the sun broke through the clouds,
and there was revealed picture Of
such rare beauty and marvellous pic
turesqueness that every particle Of ia
tigue, brain flag and muscle WEAKNESS
departed in an instant My whole soul
thrilled with a winged sense Of sub
Unity, grandeur and beauty which I
had never experienced before and
which l can never forget l felt a
spiritual uplift which brought tears
Of Joy to my eyes.

Po,tr:y,,i and Pisasvrs,.

The poet writes under one restriction
only-namely, the necessity of giving
+ immediate pleasure. Nor let this ne
cessity Of producing immediate pleas
ure be considered as degradation of
the poets art. 1t Is far otherwise. 1t
is an acknowledgment of the beauty
Of the universe, an acknowledgment
the more sincere because not formal,
but indirect; It Is a task light and easy
to him who looks at the world in the
spirit of love- Further, it is homage

Of man. to the grand elementary prin'

Naterspouta.

"a waterspout is q miniature tornado
originating in a strong upward draft
of air which occurs above the surface
Of d body Of comparatively warm wa.
ter Its effect first becomes visible In q
circular motion at the point il the
clouds to which lit ascends. This be-
comes whirl, which condenses the
vapor at it's center. causing the p0r.
ton OF the cloud there to drop down
ward in the shape Of gigantics jelly
bag. At the same time the continuing
upward draft increases the rapidly Of
its original swirl and the condensed
vapor caught within !. it until the
attending and descending masses join
to form the waterspout. Necessarily
by this process the air beneath the
spout is rareiied, and thus where the
phenomenon occurs at sea the water
always seems to be sucked up into it.,
although this is not really the case to
any considerable extent. For similar
reasons where waterspout or lorna
do passes over building it does most
Of it's damage by exhausting. the air
outside, causing what is within to ex-
pand and blow the structure to pieces.

The White Whale.

The white whale or betuga, Is an
arctic cetacean and closely allied to the
narwhal.. 1t is pure white in color,
twelve to eighteen feet long, whalelike
III form, with a huge muzzle and nu-
merous sharp conical teeth.
The white whale swims with ex-
traordinary speed by doubling it's huge
tail--under its body and then striking
out with it. Scientists who have stud
led it in it's natural environs say that
it is able to catch the swiftest of fish,
es, often pursuing its prey far up the
northern rivers. 1t is gregarious and
may be seen at times in herds OF. forty
or fifty. ~ ~ - sv
These herds not: infrequently gambol
around boats in the arctic seas and
the natives of Greenland often capture
them with harpoons or nets. The flesh
OF the white whale, in fact. is a con,
siderable source Of food supply to
them. From it also is derived one Of
the finest grades of commercial soil

Destinies Of Mexico.
Mexico City, March 27.-With the
old cabinet out and the probability
that not more than two of it's members
will be retained the likely personnel
of the new ministry is the chief topic
of discussion in the capital.
The resignation of the cabinet is
taken as an indication that Finance
Minister Limantour's policies are pre-
vailing with President Diaz. The lat
ter has given no intimation of his in,
tentions further than a determination
to appoint younger men to succeed
the ministers who are advanced in
age. II
The naming of General Bernardo
Reyes for the portfolio of war and
marine is possible. It is believed that
Limantour will remain at the head of
the department of finance despite the
fact that he is along in years, although
it is thought by some that he will sue
coed Creel as minister of foreign az
fairs.

New York, March 27.-Francisco
Madero, ST., and Gustavo, his son, have
left New York for San Antonio, Tex,
where they can be nearer Francisco l.
Madero, provisional president of the
insurecto party. Before they left they
showed the following telegram from
Alfonzo Madero, whom they will join
in San Antonio: -.,.s>- l..s
"Chilapa, in the state of Guerrero, a
town of 10000, is in the hands of the
insurrectos. Zahuaripa, in the state
of Sonora: Culacan, the capital of the
state of Sinaloa, and Mazatlan, the
main port on the Pacific of the state
IF Sinaloa, are menaced by insurgents.
"Ojinaga, opposite Preside, is be-
sieged and short of provisions. We
expect it's surrender very soon. Good
news from the rest of the republic"
Francisco Madero was visibly elated
over the resignation of the Diaz cabi-
net, but cautious. :
tits little early to tell just what
it MEANS he said, "but it certainly
is along the lines I prophesied. look
on it as the beginning of the end, but
If you ask me what the end will be
I do not know. Limantour is now in
power, or soon will be. We must
wait to see what he will do Accord.
ing as he fails or succeeds will the
scales dip"
The Maderos would not say in so
many words why they have changed
their base from New York to the Dor
der, but they let it be inferred that
they felt events are so shaping them
selves that their presence nearer the
scene of actual hOstilities was needed.
