KIM CharIas1 Maze

During the late Lord PeePs tenure
of the speakership he was informed
that the mace ordered out of the
house by Cromwell had been discov-
cred in Jamaica. On inquiry the
information proved to be false, but
it was found that Jamaica at one
time possessed a mace presented by
Charles II, which, like the earlier
maces used at Westminster, has van
ished. In 1877 Jamaica was over
whelmed by an earthquake, and among
many public buildings ingulfed at Port
Royal was parliament house. With
the wreck disappeared King Charles

swattine the FLY in Korea.

The japanese administration of
Korea has adopted queer but very
effective method of stamping out dis
ease due to the common fly, says the
London Globe. The Anglo-Saxon slo-
gan of xiii that fly" would prob
ably not stimulate the Imagination of
a people which regards disease as in
evitable, so the administration has hit
on the idea of buying flies from the
populace, and an illustration in the lat
est annual report on reforms and prog
ress in Korea bears the enticing head
line, Purchasing flies from natives by
government officials
The report is. however. tantalizing-
" reticent on a matter of such human
interest as the price per pound or by
the thousand. and the nature of the
local "swatters."

My wife and l drank our first cup
Of Postum little over two years
ago. and we have used it ever since,
to the entire exclusion OF tea and
coffee. It happened IN this way:
Il had an attack Of pneumonia,
which left me. with dyspepsia, or neu-
ralgia Of the stomach. Ny cup Of
cheer had always been coffee or tea.

that they aggravated my stomach

matter to my grocer one day and he
suggested that I give Postum a trial.
Next day it came, and we liked it
50 much that we viii never change
back; for / am a well man today and
have used no medicine.
MY work as chief bookkeeper in
our Cos branch house here is Of a

Kid Paisinu for Gloves.

Before the war the peasants of
many a little village made living by
raising kid to supply the gloves for
which France has long been famous.
The perfection Of the skins is con sid
cred by the French manufacturers TO
be the keynote Of the perfect glove.
Their method is to have one work
man handle the prepared kid from
the time it is brought in until the
gloves which are shaped from that kid
are entirely finished

WHY DE-. JAMESON LAUGHED

Sir Leander Starr Jameson, still
better known to thousands as Doctor
Jim" has been predicting a great
change for the better in South Africa
as a result of the stirring events that
have been taking place there.
A good story is being told about the
days when Doctor Jim" was admins
traitor of Rhodesia- One of the officials
under him was a very pompous indi-
vidual who rejoiced in a high-sounding
double-barreled name. He was very
much upset because his colleagues
would ignore his real title and persist
In clubbing him ''Muggins."
At last he could stand 1t no longer,
ard went straight TO his chief before
whom he made long and indignant
complaint

One Tree BRINGS 500.

The government has received s99. 40
in settlement for a single sugar pine
tree which was cut in trespass in the
Stanislaus national forest, in Califor-
MIA, and which yielded more than
enough actual lumber to build a good
sized suburban frame house. The
tree scaled 1888 board feet and was
valued at S5.25 per thousand feet.
Not many trees contain enough lum-
Der to build a two-foot board walk
nearly two miles long, and this is be
Iieved to be the first case on record
in which a single tree felled in ma
tional forest was valued at almost
500 on the stump. although national
forest timber is frequently sold al
considerably higher rates.

Feats of Archery.

In the days when the buffalo was
found in vast herds On the western
plains there were Indians who, while
riding at a gallop, could send an ar
row through a buffalo's body. Re-
not equal that reached by the archers
of ancient times. 1t is of record that
the MacRaes of Gairlock, Scotland,
were such skilled archers that they
could hit a man at the distance Of 500
yards. In 1874 the Turkish ambassa-
dor at London shot an arrow in a field

the man so assailed is Judge Ostran-

your hand and I viii desist for to

But no movement took place in the
shadow cast by divers figure on the
wall before which Mr.. Black had
paused, and presently voice was
heard from where he sat, saying:
You are too mercifuL I do not
want generalities but the naked truth.
What did the men shout?"
You have asked for a fact, and that
I feel free to give you. They shouted,
Where is Oliver, your guilty son, Oil
yer? You saved him at a poor mans
expense, but we'll have him yet You
asked me for the words, Mr. Ostran-
der"
Yes" The pause was long, but the
Yes" came 1T last. Then another ST.
Ience, and then this peremptory de-
mand: But we cannot stop here, Mr..
Black. If / am to meet my father
wishes tomorrow, I must know the
ground upon which I stand. What evi.
dence lies back of these shouts? II
you are my friend-and you have
shown yourself to be such-you will
tell me the whole story. l shall say
nothing more
Mr.. Black was not walking now; he
was standing stock-stiIl and in the
shadow also. And with this space and
the double shadow between them, Alan.
son Black told Oliver Ostrander why
the people had shouted: I'VE will have
him yet"
When he had quite finished, he came
into the light.
When he had quite finished he came
into the light. He did not look in the
direction he had avoided from the
first, but his voice had different
note as he remarked:

am one of the few persons your father
| has asked to be present at your first
| interview. If after this interview you
wish anything more from me you have
only to signify it, | am blunt, but not
unfeeling, Mr.. Ostrander."
A slight lift of the hand, visible now
in the shadow, and with a silent bow
| he left the room.
In the passage-way he met Deborah
Leave him to himself" said he
Later, perhaps, you can do something
for him"
But she found this quite impossible
| Oliver would neither eat nor sleep
When the early morning light came
he was sitting there still.
Ten o'clock! and one of the five
listed to be present had arrived-the
rector of the church which the Os
tranders had formerly attended,
He was ushered into the parlor by
Deborah, where he found himself re
ceived not by the judge in whose name
| he had been invited, but by Mr.. Black
the lawyer, who rendered him simple
| good morning and pointed out chair
There was another person in the
room-a young man who stood in one
of the windows, gazing abstractedly
out at the line of gloomy fence rising
! between him and the street He haC
not turned at the rector's approach
and the latter had failed to recognize
him.

RECEIVES FIRST MESSAGE
Wireless Apparatus of I. P. Batchelde1
Proves Success and Time Signal
Is Picked Up.
WAS SENT 1000 MILES AWAY

Bemidji now has a wireless ap-
paratus, the result of I. P. Batchelder
having installed a station at his resi-
dence, Ais Minnesota avenue, which
will receive messages from a radius
Of more than one thousand miles.
The success of the venture was
proven last night when a time sig
nal message from the Arlington gov
eminent station, approximately 1000
miles away, was perfectly received
here, Wesley McTaggart, who has an
apparatus at Turtle River, having
charge of the receiving instrument.
Batchelder has been interested in
the wireless during the last six
months and his station is equipped
with one Of the most modern amateur
apparatuses. A fifty-foot aerial has
been built above his home.
Messages may only be received
now, but sending machine will be
installed soon. TO pick up COM
munications no license is required,
but to send them beyond the limits
If the state, one is necessary.
Batchelder announces that anyone
interested in the wireless is invited
to call at his home and investigate
it.

Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 15.-Work
of constructing perhaps the most
beautiful and unique hrboretum burial
park in America in which will rest
the bones of the most illustrious

ably some day be inferred amid the
flowers provided by Holden, an init
mate friend of the oil king. Efforts
will be made also to transfer bodies
of deceased Ohio presidents to the

ials will dot the grounds throughout.
These will include national figures,
state dignitaries and city notables
who have passed to the great beyond
since the founding of Cleveland. Sur
vivors of Ohio pioneers will also be
provided space either for tn reburial
of their noted forbears or for the
erection of memorials in their honor

a picturesque marine carnival were
in prospect before the conclusion of
the celebration of the Magic Knights

of the fastest motor boats in the
world have been entered for the
races, and new records are promised.
One of the queer races for sailing
boats will be ''bang and 60 back"
race. In this the boats will go as
far as they can,. until shot warns
them to turn and come back. The
boat making the greatest mileage
will be the winner.
