JULES VERNE ABOUT HIMSELF
Friend of the French Genius Tells
Some New Anecdotes About the
Fascinating Author.

Anything new about that wonderful
man, Jules Verne, is invariably inter-
esting. And In the Paris Temps Felix
Duquesnel, who knew the author well,
tells quite a lot about him that Is mot
generally known"
II believe l invent possible things"
Verne used to say, (which is very
naive of me, because all that I write
will be realized. Human knowledge
will demolish the impossible" But II
he believed in the realization Of his
imaginings, his friends did not at first
believe that he would be successful as
an author.
One day, according to M. Duquesne!,
when Verne was in the company Of d
number Of his friends, he exclaimed
with great seriousness:
Mes enfants, I think I am about to
leave you. l have the idea which, &C.
cording to Gurardin, Is necessary to q
man If he Is going to make his for
tune. I am going to write a romance
in a new form Of my W invention.
If 1t succeeds, it will be, I'm certain,
the lode Of the gold mine"
The friends laughed. Laugh away"
said Verne, I'VE will see who laughs
last" A few weeks later Five Weeks
in a Balloon" appeared and was an
immediate success. He had found his
lode" which he continued to develop
for half a century.

SOL" exclaimed the captain, glanc.
ing uneasily at the hillside. Il did not
think-but many thanks. senior, an
other time will do as we'll"
He refined his horse away as he
spoke and, with a jerk of the head to
Aragon, rode rapidly down the can
yon. Aragon fingered to retrieve his
fallen gun-belt and then, seeming to
think better of his desire to speak, he
made a single vindictive gesture and
set spurssto his champing horse.
It was mrely a fling Of the hand, as
spontaneous as a sigh or a frown. but
in it Hooker read the last evaporation
of the Spaniard and his declaration of
war to the knife. He barred his strong
teeth in reply and Kissed out a blight
ing curse, and then Aragon was gone.
That evening, as the darkness came
on and the canyon became hushed and
still Bud built a big fire and stood be-
fore 1t, his rugged form silhouetted
against the flames. And soon, as quiet
as a fox, the Yaqui appeared from the
gloom.
did he come for me?" he asked,
advancing warily into the freight,
that capitan?"
"Yes," answered Bud, "and for me,
too. But you must have known him
before, Amigo-he seems to be afraid
Of YOU"
A smile Of satisfaction passed over
the swarthy face of the Indian at this,
and then the lines became grim again.
His eyes glowed with the light Of some
great purpose, and for the first time
since he had been with Bud he drew
aside the veil from his past.

KNEW USE OF THE CEREALS
Evidence That People Of the Stone
Age Did Not 1.-Two Exclusively on
Animal Food.

There is nothing to indicate that
the men Of the later stone age did not
have buckwheat pancakes for break
fast. It has been learned that not
only buckwheat but many other grains
of the present day, such as corn. a r
ley, fax, rye and oats, formed an I'M
portant part Of the daily bread con-
sumed by the people Of the latter half
of the stone age. known as the neo-
lithic epoch.
It is generally admitted that the
men of the age Of hewn stone were
hunters. With Asiatic in~vasions the
manner of living changed. The neo-
lithics began to raise domestic AMI
mails and to cultivate certain species
OF plants, the remains Of which are
still to be found.
Corn is the most ancient plant
known. Scientists have observed
SAMPLES Of 1t in the celebrated layer
Of the Mas DAHL, or end Of the heWn
stone period.
It is believed that this kind Of plant
is essentially Of Asiatic origin. 1t
could have been brought into Europe
by nerolithic invaders. Egyptian
wheat has also been found. Barley Is
also pretty frequent, being repre-
sented by six distinct varieties. On
the other hand, rye and oats were
known, but were rare. Flax was rep
resented by a different kind from the
present species.
The other plants Of that age were
probably gathered in a wild state.
Fruits were generally cut in quarters
and dried; such as certain little spe-
cies Of apples and pears.

Amigo had torn his shirt in lifting,
and across the ripping muscles of his
back there had been shown the long
white vale of a whip.
1t was the mark of his former
slavery when, with the rest Of his peo-
! pie, he had been deported to the hene-
quen fields Of Yucatan and logged by

ashamed of 1t. But now that he was

one more question, to set his mind at
rest.

He spoke the words simply, but
there was something In his voice that
brought up images Of the past-of
peaceful Yaquis, seized at every ranch
in Sonora on a certain night; Of long
marches overland, prodded on by
rurales and guards; Of the crowded
prison-ships from which the most an
guished hurled themselves into the
sea; and then the awful years of
slavery in the poisoned tropics. until
only the hardest were left.
Amigo had seer it all, as the scars
on his broad back proved-but he
withdrew now into silence and left his
thoughts unsaid. AS he sat there by
the fire, one long, black hand held out
to keep the CLEAN from his eyes, he
made a noble figure, but the Yaquqi
songs which he had crooned on other
nights were forgotten, and he held
himself tense and still. Then at last
he rose and gazed at Bud.

secret of his thrift.

the hills or prepared for the battles to
come, 1t was his part to earn the
money that should keep them in am

CHRISTMAS TREE
DONATED BY ELKS
Rock Island Lodge Votes to Aid
in Making the Community
Celebration Success.

There can no longer be any doubt
that there is going to be a beautiful
big community Christmas tree placed
in Market square for the children of
the city, for the Elks have decided to
donate 80 foot tree for this purpose.
This action was taken at a meeting of
Rock Island lodge No. $50 held last
evening and is assurance for a tree
that is worth while.
The tree will be beautifully lighted
and trimmed and about it on Christ
mas eve and Christmas night will be
sung hymns and carols. The various
choruses and choirs of the city will be
asked to participate in the services on
these two nights and according to
plans being formulated by the commit
tee in charge it should be a beautiful
and attractive feature of the Christ
mas season.
The original plan of the committee
was to have the tree lighted four
nights of Christmas week, but on
further consideration it was thought
best to concentrate their efforts on
two nights and make them really
worth while.
