Mrs. Jane Young Werner.

The subject of this sketch was in
many respects most remarkable
character. AS early as can re-
member, | was impressed with her
refinement. modesty and dignity.
yet no princess could surpass her
gentle womanliness. Indeed, she
possessed with such marked degree
the type Of true Southern woman
hood that it would be travcsty to
associate her with the new woman"
1T gives me great sorrow to know her
tYne Is last passing away.
She was married in early life to
l'enluel ii. Werner, who was many
Years her senior. and therefore when
the infirmities of age overcame him
she was in the prime Of young wo-
manhood. She met sorrow, occasion
ed by years Of anxiety in the sick
room, and the cares and responsible
ity Of young family, with a serenity
and bravcnes. which are rarely wit
messed. She was left widow while
yet comparatively young woman,
and time worked for her many mys-
teriouS changes" yet through them
all she clung to the faith Of her faith
erS. meeting all with fOrtitude
which characterized her whole life.
She was 4 devoted. indulgent mother,
yet firm and conscientious in her full
duty to her children. A devoted
member Of the Presbyterian church,
the old church at Retreat, where she
worshiped for more than half a CEN
tury, echoes the sad truth that she Is
no more. She died as she lived,
quietly, sweetly, and no doubt made
triumphant entry into that city
where truly place had long been in
preparation for her, and whose "ma-
wer and builder is God"
There were many providences to
try her faith, among them the death
of two married daughters, who left
families Of small children, yet she
bore these trials with implicit faith,
trusting only to Him who makes no
mistakes. In her home. besides her
own family of little ones, she made a
home for number Of orphaned rela-
tiVeS, and these received the same
careful training which was given her
own. Her bachelor brother-in-law
also made his home with the family.
and his respectful attitude toward her
during the years Of his long life was
living testimony to her Christian
graces.
strength and dignity are her
clothing.
She opencth her mouth with wis
dom. and the law Of kindness is on
her tongue.
Her ifnp eocth not out by night;
she lookcth well to the ways Of her
household, and eateth not the bread
OF idlaness.
She stretcheth ont her hand to
the poor, yea she reacheth forth her
hands to the needy: Her children
rise up and call her blessed"
Give her Of the fruit OF her
hands, and let her works praise her
in the gates"
Blessed are the dead who die in
The Lord, yea, saith the Spirit, that
they may rest from their labors; and
their works do follow them"

PANES OF POSTAGE STAMPS.
And the Plata Numbers, Letters or
Symbols They Carry.

All postage stamps are printed
in large sheets of 400 stamps each.
These are then cut into four "panes"
Of 100 stamps each and sent to the
various p~ostofices IN hat shape.
If you were to go to any United
States p~ostofice and buy a complete
sheet" or, more correctly speaking, a
complete pane" of 100 stamps you
would find that it had on two sides an
outer margin, and Oh each of these
margins would be a number. This is
the number of the plate from which
that pane was printed. Under this
number the authorities keep a record
of the plate. the date of it's making.
on what days it was in use, the guam
titles of stamps printed from it and all
such data.
These plate numbers are usually ex-
pressed in figures or letters or combi-
nations of both, but sometimes other
symbols are used, such as the star"
plates of recent date. Many stamp
lovers form what are called plate
number collections"-that is, a collee-
ton In which every stamp still has at
tached to 1t the outer margin bearing
the plate number. The object is, of
course, to get every plate number that
was ever issued.
1t Is Interesting and curious. too, be-
the stamps are arranged with
the plate numbers in sequence. making
them look very different from an ordi-
nary collection. For instance, plate
No. 253 is n five cent postage stamp.
while the next three. 254, 255 and 256,
are postage due stamps. Plate 257 is
a special delivery. and 259 a newspa-
per stamp. So a collection Of these In
sequence is very varied and interest
ing.
And, again, many of the plates were
in use at a time when the color of the
stamp was changed, and the same
plate number may be found upon both
colors, as tae one cent blue and the
n cent green, or the ten cent green
and the ten cent brown, the fifteen
cent blue and the fifteen cent olive.
Such a collection shows a wide range
Of shades that is of great interest to
a co1lector.--St. Nicholas.

LEGEND OF THE PHOENIX.
Method of the Tabled Birds Life and
De ath and Rebirth.

The ancient tradition concerning the
phoenix has introduced into nearly ev-
cry language the habit of applying that
name to whatever is singular or un
common among its kind. According to
ancient writer's, the phoenix was a
bird of great beauty, about the size of
an eagle. A shining and most beauti-
full crest addfned its head, its plumage
contained nearly every tint of the rain
bow, and its eyes sparkled like dia.
monds.
Only one OF these birds could live at
a time, but It's existence covered a Pc
Rod of 500 OF 600 years. When its life
drew to a close the bird built for itself
a funeral pile of wood and aromatic
spices, with its wings famed the pile
into a flame and therein consumed it.
self. From It's ashes a worm was pro-
dueed, out of which another phoenix
was formed, having all the vigor of
youth.
The first care of the new phoenix
was to sole5nnize its parents obse-
quies. For that purpose it made a ball
Of myrrh, f~rankincense and other fra
grant things. AT Heliopolis, a city in
lower Egypt, there was a magnificent
temple dedicated to the sun. To this
temple the phoenix would carry the
fragrant ball and burn it on the altar
of the sun as a sacrifice. The priests
then examined the register and found
that exactly 800 years or exactly 600
years had elapsed since that same cere-
mony had taken place.

RUSE OF A BAD MAN.
Trick by Which He Turned the Tables
on Sheriff Bill Nye.

To nearly every one the name of Bill
loving man whose jokes were once IA
nous all over the country. but to those
who lived in Wyoming some thirty
years ago Sheriff Bill Nye of Laramie
county mean something else too.
Sheriff Nye was absolutely fearless.
He was resolute, decisive, quick to act
and tireless in pursuing offenders. He
failed to get his man on only one occa-
sion, and that failure was due to the
tenderness OF heart hat was always a
part of his character.
Nye started out once after a typical
bad man who had shot or stabbed
some n and quickly learned that he
had fled to the mountains. Summon
ing a deputy, the sheriff sprang on his
horse, and the two started off. After
riding nearly 200 miles into the wilder
ness they learned that their man was
hiding in an abandoned miners cabin,
whittier he had brought his young wife.
Soon after darkness fell Nye quietly
rode up to the cabin and dismounted
before the door. He sent his deputy
round to guard the rear of the it'll
shack. Then Nye threw open the do
and dashed inside, with his revolv
cooked and ready for instant action.
The criminal was asleep on the bed.
and his wife. who sal close by, was
stroking his forehead. Nye covered
them both with his gun and told them
to throw up their hands.
1--WE got you," he said grimly. Now
you get up quietly and come along.
The lady can stay here If she chooses"
The bad man admitted that the game
was up and began to roll his blanket
into a bundle. Never mind that"
said Nye. We've got plenty Of blan-
kets In the place you're going to-" The
desperate then asked if he couldn't
say goodby to his wife.
81 reckon it's the last time I'll ever
see her." he continued. you've got
the goods on me this time, sheriff, and
I reckon I'll swing for it"
He appeared so cast down that Nye's
warm heart prompted him to grant the
request. "All right" he said. "In
give you two minutes"
The criminal rose from the bed. The
next instant those tightly rolled blan-
kets anne whirling through the air and
struck Nye In the face so heavily that
he reeled back against the wall. Be-
fore he could recover his balance and
throw off the blankets the criminal
had dashed out Of the cabin, leaped on
Nye's pony and was galloping down a
mountain trail In the darkness.
OF course Nye's deputy came rushing
round from the rear of the cabin and
started In pursuit, but the bad man
was never heard from afterward.-

William r. Wilcox, Chairman of
the Republican National Committee,
has received from Senator Penrose a
brief but positive summing up of the
extravagances of the Wilson Admins
tration during the session of Congress
Just about to close. The Senator
says:
when the country realizes what
this Congress has done in the way of
appropriations 1t will be ~dumfounded.
Already, it has been shown that over
q billion, seven or eight hundred mil
lion dollars have been appropriated
more money than was ever appropri-
ated in any n year in the history
of the American government. The to-
tai will reach nearly two billion dol
lars before the end of this carnival
of debauchery in public expenditures
is reached, because no account has
been taken of the twenty-five millions
for the Danish islands, the thirty mil
lions which the government will prob
ably have to refund as a result of
the five per cent rebate allowed on
importations brought across the seas
in American bottoms, and other mat
tiers which are likely to come up.
"It Is only too evident that this bill
which is expected to bring in some
two hundred million dollars will abb
solutely fail to meet eve the require
ments for the ill-advised and certainly
not urgent projects authorized by the
present Congress.
ut Is now claimed that these pro-
1ects are to be financed by the issu-
ance of Panama Canal bonds. The
American people will regard such a
proceeding as a very queer n be
cause the issuing of bonds by the
Cleveland Administration largely help
ed to bring about the downfall of the
Democratic party In 1896. A bond
issue has ever since been viewed with
adherence by the Democracy; now,
we find the party leaders compelled,
by reason of their extravaganza and
inefficieney, to resort to 1t.
ITO defray the expenses of a nitrate
plant and of a shipping board and
many other needless projects by the
issuing of Panama bonds will be in
the last analysis equivalent to paying
for them by bond issues. These bonds
are lying In the treasury unissued as
the result of the thrift and economy
and wise administration of the Repub-
lican party.
"Only about $130.O00,O00 of bonds
were put out in the construction of the
Panama Canal. The balance of the
cost of that stupendous undertaking
was paid out Of current revenues;
and now, to advance the novel doc
trine that these bonds which repre-
sent the thrift of preceding years
shall be issued for these questionable
projects is, to my mind, preposterous.
In fact, it was expressly provided In
the Spooner Act that Panama Canal
bonds should not be issued for any
other purpose than that of the con
