Sha Mas Persistent.

4 huge package once reached Sir
Walter Scott from young lady IN
America for which he had to pay SO
expressage. 1t contained manuscript
play and a letter from the fair author
requesting Scott to read and correct
her work, write prologue and an
epilogue, arrange for its production at
Drury Lane and negotiate with a pub
Usher for the copyright. That was bad
enough, but worse was to follow. About
= fortnight later arrived another mighty
packet. charged with similar postage.
Scott, who had not grown wiser by
experience. paid the charges and
opened the parcel. Out came a dupll-
cate copy Of the play and a second
letter from the authoress, stating that
as the weather had been stormy and
she feared something might have hap
pened to her former manuscript she
had thought it prudent to send him
duplicate.

a Pleasant Surprise.

A young man in indianapolis felt
his heart sink as he pulled from his
mail box letter Of the wedding In
yitation type. That was the fifth he
had received this season, and he had
begun to wonder whether he had any
friends left in the single state.
Another FIVE dollar bill busted to
smash" he mourned
Then he opened the envelope. But 1t
was only the announcement Of wed
ding that had taken place the week
before. And he found in the same
cover a check for S5.

How Centioedes Walk.

An eminent authority has in7estgat.
ed the peculiar wavy motion Of cent?
pedes and millepedes to determine the
manner in which these animals man
age to use their s1perabundant pedal
extremities so gracefully and harmo-
niously. It has been found that the
legs move in groups or waves, each
wave including a definite number OF
legs. The number Of waves included
in the length Of the body IS constant
for each species. In millepedes the
waves Of each side are sy1chronous.
In centipedes they are symmetcally
alternate, giving rise to beautifully ac-
cordant movements The difference
may be explained by suggesting that
the millepede moves like a pacing
horse, the centipede like q trotter.-

The Name of London.

The old name for the city Of London
was Lynden or Llynden, meaning 'ths
city by the lake" AN old tradition
gives US to understand that London
was founded by Brute, a descendant
Of Aeneas, and that It was first called
New Troy or Troynovant- In the tme
Of Lud It was surrounded by a wall
and was then known as Lud's Town,
or Caer-Lud. This latter IS probably
the correct version Of the origin Of the
name Of London If for DO other req
son because It Is such an easy matter
to detect similarity between the ex-
pressions London and Lud's Town 1t
IS claimed by some writers that there
was city on the present site Of Lon
don In the year 11o7 B. c., and 1t Is
known that the Romans founded q city
there and called It Londintum In the

Scotch Accent Too Much For Him.

Scotch Accent Too Much For Him.
The only real blot on my visit to
Glasgow, says a writer in the London
Sketch, is my total inability to speak
with Scottish accent. rather pride
myself, as most people do, on my vocal
initiative faculties, but I confess to
all the world here and now that can
not initiate the Scottish accent. Ny
Irish is beautiful; it would make all
Dublin weep. Ny American IS quite
good; could nearly always get any
thing that I wanted in the shops II
had the money. Anybody can talk
Welsh who cares to substitute ''p" for
''b'' and .sf" for Eva" But the Scot
tish accent eludes me. Sometimes !
speak a little Scottish, tentatively, to
the policeman or the tram conductors
OF the shopkeepers. The policemen
draw their slaves, the tram conductors
stop their trans, and the shopkeepers
put up their shutters. I am not quite
sure, but I rather think that I shall
abandon the unequal struggle.

I'VE demand the punishment of crime
and the enforcement of law.
We denounce the act of kidnapping a
citizen of one state (regardless of the
crime with which he may be charged)
and spiriting him away to another state
without due process of law, as of itself
crime that strikes at the very founda-
ton of our civilization; a crime, which
if permitted to go unrebuked and unpun-
ished must inevitably have far-reach
ing effect in lessening respect for law,
and encouraging further acts of anarchy
and vandalism; a crime that will go far
toward destroying the security not only
of our property but of our homes and the
lives Of ourselves and families"

resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That the Farmers Educa-
tional and Cooperative Union of Amer

between the union men of the farm, rail-

BOY SCOUTS CONDEMNED.
Machinsts' Union No. At Passes Resolu

movement is being promoted by the
same interests that prompted the intro
ductlon of the interstate commerce law

measures TO assist the employers of la
Dor to further curtail the liberties of all
industrial classes in these United States,
and
Whereas, We are strenuously op-
posed to having our boys educated in
their kindergarten and training school
for legalized murder, and
Whereas, Every Chamber of Com
merce in the history of our country has
never been known to aid labor through
any natural channel
Resolved, That we are opposed to
have this lodge in any way endorse the
military training of our boys for the pur-
poses that they are certain to be used
for and be it further
Resolved, That we remain separate
from the class of people all chambers
OF commerce and civic federations are
composed of, that we may be better able
in the future to distinguish our friends
from our enemies"
Tuesday, r. p. Means. who made the
motion at the Trades Assembly to pre-.
seht uhioh men paradlng with Boy
Scouts, received an anonymous letter
telling him that the Boy Scout move
ment was being fostered by large suit
manufacturer in the East who desires
to furnish the blankets" that will pro-
tect the National guard incubator" from
the elements OF nature and make it pre-
sentable to the public.
The letter is not taken seriously, for
it is known that the Boy Scout move
ment had its beginning in England, and
In Germany, under another name, the
boys-and even the girls of five and six
years-are marshaled together to instill
in the youths the military spirit.
The trainers of this movement are
