in StaffOrdshire Il coffin used as a

told the story of the coffin as follows:
Eighteen years ago i ordered that
coffin. The wife and me used To have
a good many words. One day she
said, I'll never be content till l see
thee in thy coffin We'll. lass l said.
If that'll content thee it'll soon he

that wouldn't allow. In the end she

LEES FEELING TOWARD PRES.
IDENT DAVIS.

Undoubtedly Lee esteemed and AL
mired Davis, but the expression Of
these feelings does not 80 beyond
kindly cordiality. Soon after the war
he writes to Early: 81 have been
much panied to see the attempts made
to cast odium upon Mr.. Davis. but do
not think they will be successful with
the rejecting or informed part Of the
country" After Davis's release from
captivity, Lee wrote him a letter
which is very charming in its old
fashioned courtesy. "Your release has
lifted a load from my heart which !
have no words to tell. That
the rest of your days may be trium.
phantly happy is the sincere and ear
nest wish of your most obedient and
faithful friend and servant" Lee is,
of course, even less outspoken in criti.
clsm than in praise of his superior. 1t
is only very rarely that We catch q
trace of dissatisfaction, as in reference
to the anxiety of the authorities in
regard to Richmond: "The general
had been heard to say that Richmond
was the milestone that was dragging
down the army In the delightful
memoirs of General Gordon We get
perhaps the most explicit statement of
what Lees feeling about the president
really was. 1t was at the time of
Davis refusal to abandon the capital.
Lee spoke to Gordon in the highest
terms of the great qualities of Davis's
character, praised the strength of his
convictions, his devotion, his remarka.
bic faith in the possibility of still win.

able will power. But he added. you

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.

Senator Browns determination to
support the Canadian reciprocity
agreement is significant. 1t mean.
that the agricultural west in congress
is not rushing to the opposition. And
it is ON the farmers of the country that
the success of the measure depends.
To take his stand involves some
personal risk. for unless the farmers

tip Of their nose they may yet be STAN.
peded against the measure. The cold
fact is that the proposed reciprocity
deprives the Nebraska farmer of
whatever protection he has had from
the tariff, while returning him nothing
hut some possible savings in the cost
of lumber and fish. 1t has long been
the habit of interests or industries to
fly into a panic at the suggestion of
losing 80 much As a comma from their
tariff schedule. They seldom look,
the farmers least of all, to see whether
their sacrifice OF a penny may not save

penny and let the pound 60. Thus do
tariff iniquities arise.
The manufacturing interests, which
have had seats ut the tariff table while
the farmers picked few crumbs from
the floor, are watching Us with a Gym

ern Edison Light company. The the
alter was wired for $50 sixteen candle
power lamps. The lighting was con-
fined to the auditorium. No electric
lights were used on the stage. As dim

time On the opening night, after the
new lights were installed. the actors
struck. claiming that it was impossible
to make up by gaslight and play their
parts under the glare Of the electric
lights. 1t was with difficulty that they
were persuaded to proceed with the
second act.
The first theater to be completely
lighted with incandescent lamps was
the old Haverly theater, then located
on Monroe street, where the Inter
Ocean building now stands. This
plant consisted Of two dynamOs with
a capacity Of 637 lamps. On the open

started Mt first to enable the ushers to
seat the audience. When the curtain
rose every hight was turned ON. caus-

THE FIRST AMERICANS.

In the beginning the Hohokam
dwelt in the land. They were the first
Americans-before the Pilgrim Faith
ers, before the Spaniards, before the
Indians. They were the Unknown
People who lived in the Unite,l States
so long ago that their name is utterly
lost. Out in the Southwest old tribes
of Indians like the Zunis and Navajos
know nothing of them save by vaguest
tradition. The Pimas and Papagos Of
Southern Arizona, who occupy part If
the land that once was theirs, know
that another race possessed the country
long ago. More they cannot tell.
They and their fathers for hundreds Of
years have seen what We see--the
scanty remnants of ancient villages.
For inhabitants of the villages they
have no name except the Hohokam,
that is, the unknown" The modern
archseologist describes the implements
and pottery Of the Hohokam. He
cannot do much more, for their houses
are laid low. Except in a few places.

the ella River, the very walls have
vanished. Casa Grande itself may be
the work of . people later than the
main body ofthe Hohokam. We can
never know the whole story. Yet
little by little We may learn its chief
facts. Arizona and the adjacent re-
gions are full of ruins unknown to
scientists and even to the people who
live within a mile of them. They are
so nearly obliterated that there seems
at first sight little to repay study.

the past; geography must
finish it. Modern geography enables

THE REAL. GENERAL. LEE.

The generals headquarters for the
moment were in some public building,
and the women sent in breakfast.
Loaves of hot bread, butter and coffee.
During breakfast the general astonish'
ed me by saying, Captain Ransom, l
fear you have not had good mother"
l was indignant, and rather holly re.
piled: "You are mistaken, general, I
have xhe best mother in the world"
The general replied: well, l may be
wrong, but there is one thing she did
not teach you-how to cut bread and
butter. I will show you how" He
then took the loaf of bread in his
hand, and spreading the butter on the
end, cut off slice and handed it to me,
saying: Nov that is the way to cut
bread and butter. Look what . mess
you have made by cutting of your
slice first and then trying to butter it
afterward."

Making Insurance Maps.


In making insurance maps certain
features are considered essential, and
the growth Of the system has proved
their wisdom and changed them only
a regards the amount Of detail that
has been incorporated. OF first impor-
lance were the cOlors to show the diff
ferent materials used in the construc-
ton Of q building. Naturally red
beemed proper color to signify brick
and yellow to signify wood. These
colors have always been employed for
these materials. Other cOlors have
been added from time to time. thus
blue for stone, gray for iron, etc.
In fixing signs and characters for
such details as stairways, fire escapes,
dumb waiter shafts. etc, n principa!
object was to make them plain and
distinct They must be easily under
stood by an underwater without ref
erence to my key or marginal foot
notes.
This object has been carried out,
with the result that when these insur-

ter has such an individuality of its
own that 1t can be easily distinguished

AROOSEVELT LETTER.

The right to criticise the courts
when they are properly subject to crit
icism has rarely been more forcefully
demonstrated than in the letter Of
Colonel Roosevelt to Governor Bald.
via of Connecticut. The letter. even
more than the original criticism,
passed by Colonel Roosevelt on .
Baldwin decision-handed down when
he was q jodge-shows how just and
pertinent that criticism Was.
It is true, As Colonel Roosevelt says,
that he has for years interested himself
in legislation bearing on employers
liability, and that he could not ignore
the Baldwin decision as something
that might 60 far toward multiplying IN
act of congress that the ex.president
regarded as vital to the proper pro-
lection of employees.
The criticism Of Baldwin became
acutely personal because it Was passed
ut o time when he was q candidate for
governor. But the personal bearing
was not the fault of Colonel Roosevelt.
who was aiming 1t an impersonal
thing. Roosevelt has shown in many
Instances that he can be wholly imper-
sonal in his acts and utterances, even
when they may vitality affect even him,
but more than any other man in pub.
Tic view in his time he has had the
courage to work and fight for the right
regardless of the particular applica-
tons that might be made of his poll.
cies or principles.
Incidentally the Roosevelt letter
seems to have convinced Governor
Baldwin that his critic was we'll within
his rights.-Kansas City Star.

A DENTAL CURIOSITY.
The Set Of Artificial Teeth That Wash
inoton Endured.

The Set OF Artihe,aI ] oStn snaS WASH
inaton Endured.
1t may not be generally known that
the Father Of His Country was one or
the first Americans to wear artificial
teeth. BY the time the war OF the
Revolution had ended he had parted
company with most Of the outfit which
nature had given him. An ingenious
physician and dentist of New York city
undertook the then unusual task Of re-
equipment and produced at length
full set of artificial teeth. These are
now, of course, a dental curiosity and
offer an additional proof Of the heroism
of our first president, for it Is matter
Of fact that General Washington wore
those teeth for many years and. SO far
as We know, never complained Of them
The teeth were carved from ivory
and riveted, wired and clamped to q
somewhat pOnderOus gold plate. Three
large clamps in particular figure con-
spicuously in the roof Of the mouth
and must have caused difficulty, If not
anguish There were an upper and an
under set, and the two were connected
and held In position relatively by a
long spiral spring on each side. says
Harper's Weekly.
Nevertheless Washington wore them
long and well. a fact sufficiently attest
ed by the worn and dinted condition of
both teeth and plate.
At the last account these teeth were
the property Of dental institution in
Baltimore.
