Getting Even With the Parson.

Parson Wheeler was invited out one afternoon for a motorcar ride with one of his friends. The minister, who enjoyed all outdoor sports. was very enthusiastic over motoring. so he was allowed to drive the car While speed ing along he was stopped by con- stable and ordered to the station house.
 "Well." said the captain, after listen- ing to their story. you say you were going at only fifteen miles an hour, but the constable declares you were trav- cling at forty. Now. don't like to doubt the word of either of you. Can you think why 'he insists you were travelling at that rate of speed? Is there any grudge he owes you?"
 "No," said the clergyman thought fully. "No, can't think of anything unless it is that l married him four years go."-Lippincott's

Got thu Best of Carlyle.

The Rev. Thomas Alexander, Pres byterian minister, long resident in Chelsea and well known as brother Scot. was most anxious to know Car lyle. but had no opportunity of getting an introduction to him. One day in the Kings road he saw Carlyle coming in his direction and took advantage of the opportunity by going up to the sage and saying. Thomas Carlyle. 1 believe" Carlyle's reply was. "Tom Alexander, 1 know!" They became good friends, and later MT. Alexander wrote to Carlyle for subscription to- ward school building fund. and Car lyle wrote back a refusal in doggerel, whereupon MT. Alexander replied that if he did not send him f5 he would sell his poetry to collector or publish it. The f5 was at once forthcoming.

 Get Too Little Credit.
 History as it is written and as it Is taught is one great panorama of wars and dynasties. It bristles with the names of doughty warriors and rul- CTS, describes at length their struggles and achievements and dismisses the inventors and promoters of the great agencies which have made modern civ ilization possible, with scanty, if any, mention.
 The invention of printing has had more influence upon the development of the race than any act of any ruler that the world has ever known, and more than half of those who read this will not know the inventors name.
 The men who invented and develop ed the steam engine did more to light en human toll and to make possible to each of the dwellers upon earth a than all the generals who ever pitted men against their fellows. Hunt for their names in the indexes of your his tories.
 Art and literature have been broad highways to fame. The high school scholar can tell you who wrote what and when he wrote it. but ask him who built the first railroad in America and when and where it was. The magnificent Albert memorial is cov- cred with the names of authors and painters and sculrtors, but Michel angelo is there because he was an artist, not because he was an archi- tect, and Leonardo Da Vinci because he was a painter and not because he was an engineer.-Power.

KEPT HIS SECRET WELL.
Even Scott's Son Didn't Know Who
 Wrote the WaverIey Novels.

"rOto Ine "dVcTi0J NoVCiS'
 A Scotch newspaper having referred to the old story that Walter Scott, son of the great novelist. had never read his fathers novels, the Dunfermline Court Journal reprints letter that first appeared i'll its columns on Sept. 17. 1859 It was signed "Veritas,' and the writer says: "From 1910 to 1883 resided in Edinburgh and was on intimate terms with Walter Scott. Sitting together one winter evening several years before his father made the famous declaration at the the atrical fund dinner held in the assem- bly, rooms of Edinburgh that he was the author of the Waverley novels. l put the following questions to my friend: DO you not really and truly believe your father to be the author of the Waverley novels. or who do you suppose the author to be?''
 His answer was: I have really no idea who the author is. If my father is the author he keeps the secret to himself, for none of the family knows. And then he added. The moment a new novel (by the author of Way erley") is announced my father orders copy from his bookseller, and the whole family assemblies in the parlor in the evening to hear the novel read by myself and my sisters, each taking a turn
 "He further added. When anything very droll or funny occurs in the read ing of the novel my father joins most heartily in the laugh, perhaps more so than any of the family"

A PERIL0US CROSSING.

They Got Safely Over and Then Came
 Curious Climax. Mrs. Exc stood on crowded corner when the traffic was at it's height, star ing at the thick, tangled come and go of motorcars and drays and cabs, and not daring to venture in among the dangers of that moving mass.
 "May l cross the street with you. nadam?"
 She turned and saw an elderly stranger with lifted hat and gallant smile.
 ooh, thank your' said Mrs. Exc. And the stranger grasped her arm with firm grip. and together they plunged boldly into the wild crush of vehicles.
 In and out. right and left up and down, they zigzagged, at imminent peril of life and limb. Pedestrians on the sidewalk stopped and looked at them. Drivers and chauffeurs shouted and swore at them. It was plain to all that they were in unusual danger.
 The escort of Mrs. Exc, still wearing his gallant smile, still grasping her arm firmly, seemed to make no effort to avoid the oncoming vehicles. He dart ed erratically and yet calmly this way and that
 At last by a miracle the other side was reached. Mrs. Exc then jerked her arm away from her escorts grasp. and, with a look of scorn. she said:
 "It's no thanks to you that we were not both killed Why, the way you positively courted danger one would think you were blind!"
 Madam. I am blind.' he replied. That's why asked if l could cross with you"-New York Tribune

1t Is Somewhat Cloudy as to It's
 Source and Its Veracity.

Source and Its Veracity.
 This touching tale. for the veracity of which we do not vouch, comes from source that we do not know, says the Engineering and Mining Journal:
 About 1860 a Spaniard in Peru named Jose Salcedo fell in love with an Indian girl. He proceeded to do a thing almost unheard of in those times he married her. Out of gratitude her mother revealed to him vein of silver of unexampled richness. He worked 1t and drew from 1t considerable wealth-too much for his happiness, for his opulence excited the cupidity of the viceroy. Count Lemos. who had him charged with high treason. the penalty of which was death and the contiscation of all worldly goods.
 Ut was in vain that Salcedo demand ed permission to appeal to Madrid and offered to pay two ingots of silver daily during the fifteen months that must elapse before reply was return ed. The count refused and hanged him in 1669 But the butcher got small good out of it. The Indians. intent on averaging their friend. destroyed the works of the mine. filled it with water and conceaied the entrance so cleverly that it could never be discovered. Nei- ther promises nor threats could extract their secret. which remains so to this very day"
 This story is more romantic than those of the Gunsight, Pegleg and sev- eral other "lost mines'' of the Ameri- can desert

China Depends On British.

PEKING, China, May 5.-No active preparations are being made here in a military way to prepare for trouble with Japan. It is realized that the fate of China rests with the British government, which is being support. ed by the Russian and American governments in an effort to prevent China D coming a vassal of Japan. The army is small and would be able to make only temporary resistance against the Japanese, who already have force of troops larger than the regular Chinese army stationed at diff ferent points in the republic. France is also taking an interest in the situ. ation because of the large trade con- trolled by that country in southern China.

CHINA AND: JAPAN ON BRINK 0F WAR

Just how far the government will en- deavor to back up our rights to the open door in China, which was the cardinal principle of our foreign pol icy under Secretary of State John Hayes, is unknown, but many officials expect that the United States may be- come involved in the mess.
 Consultations between the British and Russian ambassadors here, and Secretary rByan, were held today, but not word has leaked out as to the decision. The Japanese ambassador has also called but was unable to see Secretary Bryan, as the Chinese am- bassador was closeted with him at the time.

TOKYO, May 5.-The Japanese cab inet today sent an ultimatum to the government of China insisting that the demands of the Japanese govern ment be immediately granted by the republic and that the decision of President Yuan Shih-kai and his for eign minister, Lu Cheng-hsiang, not to give in to the requests made by the Mikado, be reconsidered.
 laps Fear John Bull.
 The sudden stiffening of the Chi nese government has surprise@ the TOkia diplomats. It is, of course, un- derstood here that Great Britain is hacking the Chinese, but just how far John Bull will go is uncertain and the efforts to secure the greatest amount of concessions that Japan can get without an open rupture with her Allies is now the object of the gov ernment. It is even stated here in semi-official circles that Japan feels herself strong enough to stand alone and may break with England and Russia unless allowed free hand in China.
 Think England Fears To Break With laps.
 While it is realized that neither the British or Russians could at this time afford to allow a break in the alli- ances against Germany and Austria, it is therefore expected that in the end the Japanese demands will be granted. The attitude of the United States is not being considered, as it is realized that America will not back up with force any objection to Japan ese control of China, but will satisfy herself by making a strong diplomat. ic protest.

COLLAPSED BUILDING BURNED.

One of the two three-story brick
buildings of j. w. Meyers Il Co.,
wholesale grocers, on South Jonathan
street, near the Court house, Hagers-
town, collapsed at 1870 o'clock Sun
day evening, and together with about
$50, 900 worth of stock was destroyed
by fire.
Two other large com nercial houses
adjoining were threatened by the fire
and at one time the wind shifted
around and blew the sparks toward
the Court house. At II O'Clock the
flames were under control and the
other buildings thought to be safe.
1t is not known what caused the
collapse of the building. All three
of it's floors were heavily stocked with
groceries in bulk and their weight is
thought to have been the chief cause.
The building and stock were in
sured.

WAVE OF PROSPERITY.

Real prosperity is sweeping the en-
tire country is the opinion of the
presidents of six of the largest life in
surance companies in the United
States, who met at New York to at
tend the annual meeting OF the Asso-
citation of Life Insurance Presidents.
Prosperity in the East, in their
opinion, is due to orders from Euro
pean nations for war supplies, but in
other sections of the country the con-
dition, they said, is the natural re-
action from the depression that fol-
lowed the outbreak of the war. They
were unanimous in declaring that
prosperity is here"

SQUAD BROILERS A FAD.

OF late years the SQUAD broiler has
become fad in market. These are
chicks Matched during the winter
months and find the best market in
January and February. They must
not exceed three quarters of pound
in weight, and are grown in about
eight or ten weeks. On some farms
this branch is carried on quite ex-
tensively. The demand for the SQUAD
pigeon, in strong competition on this
score, has grown from stringent game
laws, preventing the sale of game
birds out of season.
American breeds, particularly the
Wyandottes, are best fitted for broil-
er raising. They are naturally plump
and stand forcing well.

PHILADELPHIA POULTRY SHOW

On Tuesday of this week the big
gest and most complete poultry show
that has ever been given by the Phil
adelphia Poultry Association opened
in the metropolitan Building, Phila-
dclpha. Every known breed of
chickens, ducks. geese, turkeys, pet
stock, pigeons, and song birds is on
exhibition. The greatest attraction
of the show is Lady Eglantine, the
famous 100000 laying hen, owned
by A. A. Christian. This remark
able little lady has made all the world
sit up and take notice by laying 3l4
eggs in 800 days, a record that has
never been anywhere near approach
ed before and probably never will be
again. She can be put down as one
of the wonders of the age. During
her stay at Philadelphia she will be
quarted in the imperial suite at the
Hotel Walton while not on exhibi-
ton at the show. She will be under
police guard night and day, and will
be accompanied by a uniformed guard
on her trip between the hotel and the
show building each morning and
night.
Nothing has been left undone by
the management to make this, their
anniversary show, the most success
full they have ever given.
