 It Is said that Homer sometimes nodded, but then why shouldn't he have done so? We have nodded ourselves over certain passages in the Odyssey, nay. more, we have even fallen asleep over them.
 It is said that Noah rejoiced when he landed on Mount Ararat, but there Is nothing extraordinary about that. He was not mot at the landing stage by regiment of custom house inspec- tors authorized by the government to yank tho porus plaster off his back in search of pearl necklaces, hobble-skirts and other dutiable articles.

grandmother to make him a coat out of the eagle feathers His grandmother made the coat and when Hunter Brave went to hunt he always wore 1t, but the coat seemed to trouble him, so one day he took it off and put it on a rock. then went on hunting. When he came back the sun had burned it and the beautiful colors had all faded out. He went home and told his grandmother about it. Then he said, 'I know what shall do. shall take grandfather's large rope and fasten is to the top of the mountain so when the sun comes up I can catch him." and sure enough he did.
 The next morning the people went to the chief and asked him if the Evil Spirit had come, and he said, "No. 1t Is Hunter Brave" The people went to Hunter Brave and asked him about 1t. He told them just what he had done. The sun could no longer move around as it had done. Il was damp and cold under the ground and the mole came up to see what was the matter. They told him what had been done. He started out and said, T will see about this and find the sum-" He crawled up the rope until he came to the knot where 1t was tied and began to gnaw it. The sun was bright and hot. so the mole had to shut his eyes. It took him three months to gnaw: when he got done the sun rolled away and left the poor mole blind. To this very day the mole has been blind and has to live under the ground where it is always dark.

She Knew sheep

From the London Tit-Bits.
 Now, children said the city teacher in the country school 'if there are ten sheen on one side of a wall and one sheep jumps over how many sheep will be left?'
 Then up piped the little tow headed daughter of farmer:
 ..No sheep. teacher-no sheep.
 '.Oh, oh," cried the city young woman, that. Think again. If there were ten sheen on one side of the wall and one sheep Jumped over, nine sheep would be left. Don't you see that?'
 ..No, no, no. persisted the child. "If one sheep jumped over all others would jump after. My father keeps sheep. Then, seeing the puzzled look on the teachers face, the little tow-head ex- plained apologetically: You know math- ematics. teacher; but, you see. l know sheep"

Why the Mole Is Blind

Once long ago there lived little boy and he used to stay with his grandfather
 He liked to fish and hunt.s When he would go hunting he brought home a great many birds. He would take the feathers off and throw the meat ~ away
 For this his people called him Hunter Brave. One day when Hunter Brave went hunting he killed a great eagle. When he got home he cleaned 1t and told his grandmother to cook it for his supper. While he was waiting for his supper the chief came to t Hunter Braves grand father. Hunter Brave was afraid to let the chief see the feathers because he thought he would take them. After the chief went home Hunter Brave told his

Story Fit for Fiction

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
 When the southern Confederacy fell, 1t fell. Like the one-horse shay. 1t went all to pieces, nothing first, just as bubbles do when they burst.
 We'll, when the Confederacy thus col lapsed, 1t was relying through its agents on money for cotton stored abroad. The money ran the blockade back to the south, and 1t was received by the agent who had transmitted 1t more than once before to the Richmond government.
 At the very last there was no Rich mond government and no Confederacy. The last installment of money for cotton was received after the Confederate gov ernment had ceased to be. It could not oe returned to government that had ceased to exist and whose officers were fugi- tives. The agent who received that last installment did not feel like handing it over to the United States government. The latter did not know the agent ex- isted It could, therefore, make no claim on him.
 He just retained the money. There was no one to return it to here. There was none to whom it belonged here. There was none who claimed it here. The man kept 1t, came north, invested it, made uOIC lIiOicy Wltt its eiiu bCSOiAiO OiO VI the richest and most influential business men in New York. dying on Friday, a multi-millionaire, respected unimpeach- able and allied through the marriage of his children with some of the most dis tinguished families in the United States and Great Britain. We may add that this ex-Confederate agent and subsequent met ropolitan multi-millionaire became one of the most liberal supporters of charity ed ucation and religion, south and north. and made them the beneficiaries of the growth of the fortune of which the events sug- gested had made him the sole conceivable custodian. What he gave away a hun dred times exceeded what events laid In his lap What he made 8 thousand times exceeded what he received and has bequeathed.

DEMOCRATS WIN
ARIZONA ELECTION
Practically Their Entire Ticket
Is Successful.

Phoenix, Ariz., Dec. 14.-Democratic
leaders declared that their ticket had
swept the new state of Arizona in its
first state election by majorities rang
ing from 500 to 5000.
No definite information was avail
able, but the Democrats based their
assertions upon the apparent trend of
the vote, the count of which was slow
One possible exception to the re-
ported general defeat of the Repub-
licans was J. f. Cleveland, candidate
for secretary of state. He asserted
that If he carried Maricopa county,
where he was said to have been 400
ahead, by ESQ votes, he would carry
the entire state. The Democrats. how
ever, did not concede the possibility
of Cleveland winning.
The provision for the elimination of
the recall of judges amendment to the
state constitution was expected to be
carried by a great majority.

Attorney General Simpson gave an
opinion in response to the lieutenant
governors request for advice as to
whether he becomes governor In the
absence from the state of Governor

that absence from the state creates a

absence IL long enough duration to
justify Mr.. Gordon in slipping into

Mr.. Gordon had not decided at a

Begin the Investigation.
Los Angeles, Dec. 14.-President
Taft personally initiated the govern
ment's present investigation both here
and at Indianapolis into the dynamit-
ing conspiracy in which the McNa-
mara brothers figured.
The president, when he visited Los
Angeles on Oct. 16, was apprised by
Oscar Lawler, then an assistant of
District Attorney John ID. Fredericks,
of the strong case built up by the lat
ter against the AIcNamaras.
The presidents action in the matter
after his conference with Mr.. Lawler
was taken forty-eight hours after he
left here. The Mcnamara trial was
then but five days old, but the presi-
dent was convinced, 1t Is said, Of the
array of facts gathered by the state,
and was told that the Mcnamara
brothers were not tho only guilty
parties.
Details of alleged tampering with
witnesses and evidence in various
parts of the country and the inability
of the state authorities here to bring
all offenders to justice were related
to the president. Ii was a final move
of the people here to ask the nations
chief executive to assist them in a
matter in which they were being
baked on many sides
Officials Were Awaiting Orders.
The local federal authorities had
declined to take any steps in the mat
ter, pending orders from Washington
and District Attorney Fredericks was
unable to go to Washington to pre-
sent the facts.
Ii was through MIR. Lawler, friend
of the president, that the action was
