FABLE OF VEGETABLE LAMB.
lThe london Chronicle.

IIne LOnuOn JhrOnlCIe,)
When cotton first came to Europe
to make its principal center in Ian
cashire it was the subject of the
quaint and wonderful fable of the
Vegetable Lamb The fluffy white
fibres of the bursting cotton pod so
resembled Sleeps wool that travellers
reported that in Tartary there grew
shrub the fruit or boil of which
contained "withinne lyttle Beaste in
Flesche. in Bone and Bloode, as
though it were a lyttle Lamhe with
outer wool" After the lamb had
been eaten the wool was made into
cloth. continued this story, which is
the earliest European account of the
manufacture of cotton.

fiercly upon them. The same is even
more true of the weak and foolish

branded forever as libertines and they
can never free their names from the

cial outcasts through life. Hence
forth there can be no real happiness
for any of those involved in this
scandal. Lasting joys are not for
those who take the primrose path.
Contentment comes from right living
and a clear conscience; from obedi-
ence to the laws of God and man. It
is never founded on dishonor, on
broken homes and blasted reputa-
tions. The world may be fast and
foolish but it still has scant use for
those who defy the elementary con-

in the San Francisco trial are but
moths who court the candles flame

teresting inasmuch
as it will be the first test of strength
since the Wilson administration uhder-
took its program of reform. The
fight in the third district will be a
three cornered affair, there being re-
pubicans, democratic and progress
sive candidates in the field Each
man is said to be of calibre to hold
his party strength. The republican
candidate is the present speaker of
the Maine house of representatives.
The democratic aspirant is mayor OF
his home city and is a former attor-
ney general of Maine. The progress
sive candidate is an ardent supporter
Of Roosevelt and so should command
the full progressive following.
This Maine district was carried by
the republicans last September by a
narrow margin and therefore a close
result may be expected again. Before
the primary election had been held
the republican aspirant offered to go
before a joint republican and bull
moose primary with his progressive
rival, each man agreeing to abide by
the result. However the progressive
refused to such terms and therefore
three candidates will be in the race
Unless local conditions or the personal
popularity of the candidates enter toe
strongly into the fight the outcome OF
the Maine voting next month will be
interesting through showing what the
people think of the new administra'
ton.

DIARY OF FATHER TIME

An inventor of Los Angeles plans
to construct a submarine strong
enough to withstand the water pres
sure at a depth of 1000 feet. Should
his craft prove to be a success, it is
to be assumed that his first cruise
will be to a little harbor on the west
coast of Nicaragua, where in 1898 a
chest containing $3,5OO,0OO worth of
gold was acCidently dropped. After
securing this he might be tempted to
visit the Zuyder Zee at the mouth of
which treasure to the amount of S.
100000 has been lying since 1899.
After banking these small amounts
he could turn his attention to the
really large sums, such as the $780,
100000 worth of treasure left by the
Spanish Armada off the British coast
in 1888.

Foster, the fast Delaware halfback
lodged through broken field and
sprinted up the gridiron with the
whole Black and White team at
