Hardly had he gone before Mrs. Gray

taken. Mrs. Gray was indignant, and
gave expression to her sentiments.
That the records on which the original
charge was based, supposed to have been

been finally recovered by the Indian
bureau is the explanation for the dis
missal of the case given this afternoon
by Acting Secretary of the Interior

Mr.. Adams would not explain the cir
cumstances under which the records were
recovered. Mrs Gray has inttmated or
several occasions that the records fol

sibility for these tribal rolls.

the delay.

on the Balkan situation, in a statement

in part:
''The pretext for attacking Turkey in
the case of Bulgaria, Servia and Greece
is their dissatisfaction with the treatment
of Macedonia. The recent disturbances
arose from the desire of the new govern
ment after the establishment of the con-
stiution and Of parliamentary government
to decentralize the administration in some
degree. There was no idea of erecting
the provinces into anything like states,
but it seemed desirable that many local
affairs should be settled by the local au-
thorities. That measure of self-govern-
ment has proved satisfactory in many
parts Of the empire.
Population Widely Mixed.
''In Macedonia. however, the popula-
ton is inextricably mixed. Serbs Bulgars.
Greeks, Turks. are neighbors and often
hostile to each other. Instead of COM
bining to develop their local administra-
ton into a form of self-government as
Ottoman subjects. each nationality began
to cOnspire for autonomy each hoping
to get the better Of the others if the re-
volt was successful. and each encouraged
by the Independent state of it's own ma
tionality, which hopes to annex the whole
country to it's territory
The ambassador showed little anxiety
over the reported outbreak of hostilities.
He recalled that Turkey was able to more
than hold her own against Russia. Rou-

A Good Bio Job,

Several New York schoolteachers
paid a visit to Bloomingdale insane
asylum and wer approached by a
gentleman who showed them about
the grounds. In the course of his
remarks he dwelt with particular
emphasis on the fact that some in
sane people were of such cunning
that one could not discover their
condition except by some strange re-
mark let fall by chance. After two
pleasant hours spent in the COM
pany of their guide the teachers
we're about to return when n of
them, wishing to take a not too
abrupt leave, remarked:
thine must pass slowly here for
you among so many lunatics,"
"There is where you are wrong"
replied the man. "1 am engaged
five hours a day in my life work"
"How Interestingly" cooed the
teachers.

Wall Colors and LIGHT.

In painting or papering the walls
of a room the question often arises
what color reflects the most and
what the least light. Recent ex-
periments in Germany gave the
following results: Dark blue reflects
61a per cent of the light falling
upon it; dark green, about 10 per
cent; pale red, a little more than
16 per cent; dark yellow, 20 per
cent; pale blue, 80 per cent; pale
yellow, 40 per cent; pale green,
461a per cent; pale orange, nearly
So per cent; pale white, 70 per

MUSCULAR M0NARcHS.
Mighty Muscles Had Augustus the
Strong andtPeter the Great.

H W w ~ " Sf~S~
There have been monarchs pos
sessing' bodily strength sufficient to
qualify them as professional
strong men" had they been dis
posed to enter the lists with their
subjects.
Augustus the Strong of Saxony
In his playful MOODS was wont to
seize a couple of his courtiers, one
in each hand, and to hold them at
arms length. Augustus would also
twist stout iron bars and straighten
horseshoes with a wrench of his
muscular wrist. On one occasion, it
is related, when the horse of one Of
his attendants baked, refusing alb
solutely to bulge, the herculean
Saxon put his immense shoulder to
the animals flank and literally
pushed it on its way.
George Castriot, Prince of AL
bania, wielded such a powerful
sword that, tradition has it, he
could sever a BULBS head at a single
stroke, while on another occasion
for a wager George walked off with
a platform on which several of his
courtiers were standing. Charlie
magne, who is said to have been the
strongest man of his time, was able
to snap horseshoes with his fingers,
and Don Sebastian merely by the
pressure of his knees could make
his charge groan with pain,
Peter the Great is said to have so
developed and hardened his natu-
rally strong muscles by years of
work as blacksmith and carpenter
that he became the strongest man
in his dominions. He had only one
formidable rival, in the person of a
country blacksmith, whose boast it
was that he was the only man in
Russia who could lift his anvil from
the ground. When this boast came
to the ears of Peter, so the story
runs, he set out incognito with a
single companion and challenged
the blacksmith to a trial of
strength. Without a word the lat
ter seized his ponderous anvil with
both hands and, straining his
mighty muscles almost to the burst
ing point, raised it a foot from the
ground. When Peters turn came
he raised the anvil higher and
higher, until, to the CONSERVATION
Of his rival, he placed it Oh his
shoulder and walked out of the
smithy with it. So startled was the
blacksmith by this exhibition of
strength that he rushed away to
summon the villagers to come and
sec the evil one who had run away
with his anvil.
Peter had a worthy successor in
this respect in Alexander Ill,
whose phenomenal strength earned
for him the sobriquet of the RUS
sian Samson" Amazing stories arc
told of Alexander's muscular pow
ars-how he could burst open the
stoutest barred doors by a push of
his great shoulders, crumple up
coins in his hand as if they were
leather, snap iron bars across his
knee, tear a pack of cards in two
without the least apparent effort
and with a few movements of his
powerful hands convert a pewter
tankard into a bouquet holder.
The list would not be complete

would hammer the nails in the

The advertising Of local stores in

men who prefer to tell the truth for

their neighbors If they could.

advertising accurate, for misstate-
ments produce disgruntled customers
who can make a lot of trouble for a
store which depends for success on its

II men OF less responsible charac-
ter sometimes go into retail trade.
they are too shrewd to make misstate-

complaints of Misrepresentation are
