LIBERTY BELL.
It's Connection With tho Declaration Of

It's Connection With tho Declaration Of
independence.
The famous Liberty bell was cast in
London in 1852, brought to America
and subsequently recast in Philadel-
phia. It bears the inscription, "Pro-
claim Liberty Throughout the World
and to All the Inhabitants Thereof" It
was cracked while being tolled after the
death of Chief Justice John Marshall
in 1885. 1t is kept on exhibition in In
dependence hall, Philadelphia. 1t has
had fictitious Importance owing to
the popular belief that it's ringing pro-
claimed the adoption of the Declara-
ton of Independence on July 4, 1776.
Concerning this belief, however, Fried
enwald in his 'Declaration of indie
pendence' 1904 says:
'There is no shadow of authority
even for associating the ringing of the
bell with the announcement Of the
agreement upon independence. The
mythical legend of the blue eyed boy
waiting outside the door to give the
signal to the man in the bell tower is
the product of the fertile imagination
of one of Philadelphia early TO-
mancers, George Lippard, who first
gave currency to it in his appropriate
ly called Legends Of the Revolution

SAME ISSUES INVOLVED

Case at Bar Was Similar to Mime

lntrastate Rates the Principal Point
at Issue in Both Suits.
st. Paul, Jan. 3O.-In a railroad
case similar to the Minnesota rate
cases the federal circuit court at Port
land Ore, has taken a stand opposite
that of Judge Charles +. Otis, master
in chancery, in his recent findings in
the Minnesota litigation, which is
now in the hands of the federal cir
cult court for the district of Mime
sofa, Third division.
J. B. Mills, chairman of the Mime
sofa railroad and warehouse commits
sion, received telegram from the
Oregon railroad commission saying
that the circuit court at Portland has
denied a petition for an Injunction
filed by the Southern Pacific railroad,
involving interference with intrastate
rates, which was one of the principal
points by which the complaining
stockholders in the Minnesota case
obtained their favorable finding from
Judge Otis. The telegram says that
the result of the litigation here was
cited as precedent in the Oregon
case.
The men who denied the Southern
Pacific petl--~.4 are Judges Gilbert,
WOlverton and Bean.

EIGHT CENTS A DAY.

Workers Pay In England When Board

There was time when a workman
In England received 8 cents a day as
an ordinary wage, when skilled ar.
tisans commanded - cents a day and
when women worked in the field at
such tasks as reaping straw, hoaeing,
planting beans and washing sheep
for 2 cents day, and wise student
of the subject has expressed the Opin.
ion that the British workman Of that
day. was better off than he has ever
been since then.
That sounds paradoxical. But the
explanation is this: The workman
who sold. his services for cents a
day could buy good beef or mutton for
~ cents a pound. Wheat cost him on
the average only 10 cents a busheL
He could get board for IL to 16 cents
a week. The pay he would receive for
fifteen weeks services would suffice
to purchase supply of suitable food.

A WANDERING Lake.

Lake Nor, in the Tabi desert, in
southwestern Asia, which has been
called the wandering lake." presents
phenomenon about which contra
dictory views have been entertained.
Perhaps the Swedish explorer Sven
Hedin has given the most plausible
explanation touching this phenome-
non.
It appears, according to that explor-
er, that the Tarim river, entering the
lake from the west, brings down dur
ing the period Of high water late in
summer great quantity Of salt,
which has the effect of driving the lake
lying on the level floor Of the desert
toward the southeast But the sum-
mer wind, drifting the surface sand
and darkening the heavens with dust,
blows generally from the northeast,
and it, too, tends to drive the lake be-
fore it. The combined effect of the
urging by the wind and the river is
to force the lake southwark. Yet It
Is thought the migration Of the lake
is not constant in direction, but it
shifts back and forth internationally,
according as the circumstances change

THE HEsSIANS.
They Were Good Soldiers, and Some
Became Good Americans.

Became Good Americans.
There Is popular belief among some
people that the Hessian mercenaries
brought here by the British govern
ment to fight the Americans remained
here after the war was over and that
their descendants constitute a consid-
cradle element of the Pennsylvania
Germans of today. Comparatively few
remained here after the war, because
the British government was under con-
tract to return such as escaped the
casualties of the war after it was over.
The few that remained made good citi-
zens, as they made the very best sol
diers against the Americans, and
whenever it was practical to do so
they were put in the most responsible
places by the British commanders.
The intense hatred at one time
against the so called Hessian soldiers,
some Of which still fingers with the
present generation, is very unjust, be-
cause they did not volunteer to fight
against the Americans, but they were
forced into the British service by the
1mpecunious German princes who sold
them to the British like so many
slaves. The Hessian soldiers would
sometimes take notion to desert, and
they invariably found refuge among
some of the German colonists. A con-
siderable number of them were left
behind from time to time on marches,
on account of sickness or wounds.
These always found ready welcome
among German settlers; few Of them
ever found the way back to their ma
tive land.-"Pennsylvani Germans"

She FORGOT,


At 3 o'clock the absentminded wo-
man left home with an umbrella. At
the subway station she concluded it
wouldn't rain and left the umbrella
with the corner newsdealer. When
she came back at o'clock it was
raining. Boys with umbrellas to rent
darted toward her when she appeared
at the head of the subway stairs. She
paid one boy 10 cents to escort her
home. Then she remembered her own
umbrella. Sheltered by a borrowed
umbrella, she went back to get it. The
newsdealer looked uneasy.
"Just minute" he said. ooh, Tom,
come here!
A small boy lodged around the cor
ner of the stand and handed over q
dripping umbrella. The absentminded
woman looked at the boy; she looked
at the umbrella. She recognized both.
"Idiot!" she said. II paid that boy
10 cents for taking me home with my
own umbrella. New York Press.

His Critic.

"The greatest compliment that I ever
received" says Opie Read, twas crit
icism. Several years ago went to
Arkansas and visited the scene where
one of my stories is laid. The landlord
of the little hotel said to me: -,
"'Here comes a little old fellow to

He can't read, but his wife reads to
him. Let's see what he says about the

The First Fork.

The first fork? The fork, as a mat
ter of fact, did not appear as a table
implement until the seventeenth Gen.
tury, though as early as the thirteenth
century gold and silver ones were
made for special purposes. The ordi-
harry diner was only provided with a
trencher, a napkin and a spoon. For
knife he used his own, which he car
ried about, and, worse, there was no
second trencher, no second spoon.
When the several courses came along
he exercised his ingenuity and mopped
his trencher with his bread. His

MAKES CHARGES

Senator Clapp Takes Hand
in Indian Affairs.
CAUSES STIR IN BUREAU

Minnesota Senator's Amendment to
the Indian Bill Called Vicious by the
Head Of the Department and A.
legged to Be Intended to Undo the
Work of the Department Of Justice.
Washington, Jan. Ex-senator
Moses E. Clapp and Attorney General
Wickersham had rather warm inter
view concerning affairs on the White
Earth Indian reservation.
Clapp put through an amendment
to the Indian appropriation bill which
upset the plans of the Indian bureau
in that it provided for an entire new
endowment of all persons entitled to
allotments. N
Commissioner Valentine immediate.
ly began fight on this amendment,
which is also pending in the house
committee on Indian affairs. He
claimed it was vicious legislation
aimed to undo the work of the depart
ment of justice.
Senator Clapp heard of this and,
armed with several affidavits which it
is said would form a proper basis for
an investigation by congress, he went
to the department of justice and laid
them before the attorney general.
Senator Clapp stated that special
agents of the government have been
inducing allottees, who have been for
years known and installed as mixed
bloods, to declare themselves full
bloods
Attorney General Wickersham said
that he considered matters so serious
that he had sent some of his men UP
there to prosecute cases against specu-
lators, who it is claimed have swinhled
Indians. The cases will soon be pre-
sented in court.
A large number of prominent bust
ness men, lawyers and several mixed
blood Indians from White Earth are
here seeking to have matters adjusted.

Effect Of the Sun on Monuments.
The perpendicularity Of a monument
is visibly affected by the rays of the
sun. On every sunny day tall monu-
ments has a regular swing leading
away from the sun. This phenomenon
is due to the greater expansion Of the
side on which the rays Of the sun
fall. A pendulum placed inside. say,
