At HeathfcId, in England. is a
farm on which still stand the re-
mains of an old stone house that is
said once to have been the home Of
the notorious Jack Cade. Whether
or not Cadc ever lived there can
never be accurately determined. but
there is no disputing the fact that
he was killed in that neighborhood.
On the main road, not far from the
ruins Of the house, stands a monn-

There was no sign to tell whence

knowledge made her heart wondrous
light.
On Sunday morning in church
Madgc felt the influence of a strong
gazc upon her and, turning, looked
straight into Don Cary's eyes. Aft
or church he walked home with her.
She tried to thank him for all his
kindness, but he pretended not to
understand. After that he came
several times to the church and
each time accompanied her home.
Miss Winter noticed him.
"Madge has got a beau, sure

straightway to interrogate Madge.

white with snowflakcs.
"Will YOU let me come in, snow

Madgc was only too glad. She
had forgotten everything at the
sight of him.

WASHINGTON IN HIS COACH.
There Was Great Style When Our
First President Went Tra veling.

In the early days of his residence
in New York the first pre- ident lm-
ported a handsome coach from Eng
land. which he not only often rode
in with his family. but u ed on his
long journeys to the New England
and southern states during his term
If office. This coach was quite i'm
posing, for its cream col bred sides
were decorated with oval panels of
the four seasons, the " ashington
coat Of arms was on the doors, and
green venetian blinds we re at the
windows. Drawn by four and fire.
quent]y six spirited bay horses and
with driver. positions and footmen
in their white and red livery. it cer-
tainly was in keeping with the posi-
ton of the first gentleman and lady
in the land.
In Washington's diary for Dec,
IL, 1889, is written, "Exerciscd the
coach with Mrs. Washington and the
two children George and Nelly Gus
tis); between breakfast and dinner
went the fourteen miles round'-a
ride which took them from the pres
dental mansion in Che try street,
near where the Brooklyn bridge now
crosses Pearl street, up Broadway
nearly to Harlem and back again.
Having visited the New ENGLAND
states, the president dec idcd upon
making a tour of the sout hcrn states
as we'll. When this was known he
received countless offers of hospi-
tality from many Of the lnading men
Of the south, all Of which he polite
ly declined, saying that it was hi,
intention to pursue the same plan
on this southern journey as on his
eastern visit, which was not to IN
commode any private family, and by
declining all such offers he would
give offcnse to none.
Before leaving he wrote to his
cabinet officers stating " hen he en-
pected to he at certain places that
he might be communicat Jed with if
necessary. Starting early in April,
Washington thus writes in his diary:
IL was accompanied by Major Jack
son. My cquipagc and attendants
consisted Of a chariot and four
horses, drove in hand, a light bag,
gage wagon and two horses, four
saddle horses, besides a ed one for
myself, and five scrvan ts-to wit,
my valet. two footmen, coachman
and postilion.'
From which We conclude that our
first president Travelled in state
more so, indeed, than do the chief
magistrates OF u own t, NEIL. A.

TWO FINE OLD WORDS.
Vat Few Could Now Tell Ofhand What
"Shaw" or "Sike" Means.

Why do useful words die? In
good use today there are scores and
hundreds and doubtless thousands
of needless synonyms, useful only
TO the poet and the stylist, while
excellent words Of honorable Anglo
Saxon ancestry and needful for use
have been doomed to death, execut-
ed and forgotten.
Shaw, for example, is a fine old
English word. 1t meant a small
and pleasing open group of trees,
neither a copse nor a forest. It was
not 50 impressive as a grove nor
was it as insignificant as a thicket
or a coppice.
Through a shaw there often ran
a sike. We might spare shaw nova
days, but sike is one of those words
which should never have ueen
thrown in the pathological garbage
can, declares a writer in the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer. 1t is little less
than shameful that the dictionaries
put (obs.) after it.
A sike is a brook or rill that
makes a handsome showing in
spring and autumn, but which, is
quite dry in midsummer. 1t re-
quires a dozen OF moro words to tell
what a sikc really is, and yet sikc
has teen permitted to 90 by the
board, while needless superhuihes
have retained places of honor in the
language.
The reason is not hard to find,
In olden days, when cities were not
much, men knew the country. and
the language was built in terms OF
natural objects. Then came alb
stractions and emotions and phi
losophizings and abstruse dclvings.
and the little things of nature fad
cd into insigniicancc. Men vhe
read and wrote did not think OF
skies.
Only within tho last half century
have men turned back again to the
pleasant and inspiring phases Of nat.
ural beauty. They have found skies
everywhere and have described then
with lahored circumlocurion, for {
sikc is one Of tho dainticst and hap.
piest offerings of tho wide world.

Early Statuary.

The earliest statues were, as a
matter Of course, of wood, since the
first artists lacked the tools ncces-
sary to work in stone. From all ac-
counts the first to sculpture marble
were Diponus and Scyllls Of Crete,
probably around $50 b. G. The
great ediijccs Of Rome, as Il rule,
wcro constructed Of or at least in
ca>r1 i'll marble. The famous ruins
of PALMYRA are of white marble.
Regarding tn" cause Of the superior
excellence Of the Greek sculpture nc
satisfactory word can be spoken.
Th"r" IS no accounting for genius.

Everybody said she would either

of the year. 1t was hard work for
an ablebodied man, and Madge was
only a slim young girl, so frail that,
according to Miss Winter, she look

away. Her father had no business
to let her do it.
Madge thought she knew her ia
Their and herself better than her
neighbors did or possibly could. She
listened when they advised, but she
said nothing. Duty and necessity
had laid out a certain way for her,
and she must travel in it.
Her father had never been strong
in health or successful in business,
but that was no fault Of his. After
her mothers long illness and death
he had found himself possessed of

Pinto was a mustang. clean limb

him fifteen miles a day and he was

She and her father talked over
their affairs seriously. Westmorc
