DORIS Rebellion"

From 1863 the people of Rhode
Island had lived under a charter grant
ed by Charles II, according to which
only those owning a certain amount
of property could vote. A desire to
change this provision arose and in
1S41 two parties were in the field,
the Suffrage and the Law and Or
der Each party determined to con
troll affairs. Each elected its own state
officers. Thomas w, Dorr was chosen
governor by the Suffrage" party. He
took possession OF the state arsenal.
The militia was called and he was
forced to fee. In a second attempt
the party was downed by United
States troops and Dorr was arrested,
convicted of treason and sentenced to
life Imprisonment, but soon was par
doned. This was DORIS rebellion.
A free constitution was adopted by
the people while Dorr was imprisoned.

Joy Turned TO Grief.

There is a big bunch of phony
money being lost" in this town every
day, says the New York Press. And
it looks as if some one was dropping
it just for the purpose of causing the
finders to have an attack of heart fail
ure. A man fell upon a roll of green
boys in the theatrical district the 9TH
er day and when he wrapped his hand
around il, he wore an expression that
seemed to say This will put me on
velvet But upon closer examina-
ton the p~aleness of his face indicated
that he had changed his opinion. The
roll was stage money.
There is a stage money treasury To-
Gated near the Metropolitan opera
house, where they have stored about
thirty million dollars or more in green
and yellow backs. The money is sent
all over the country to be used in
the movies to pay for mortgages and
IN the stage to win heiresses. AS a
side line the stage money treasurer is
sues small lots of accommodation pa
per for four-flushers to use as the ba-
sis for a roll" With a couple of
regular KS or ks wrapped around

Old English Lotteries.

On October IS, 1926, the last state
lottery" vas drawn in England. From
the time OF Queen Elizabeth lotteries
had been common in this country, and
at the close of the. eighteenth century
they had become established by sue
cessive acts of parliament and were
considered by ~chancellors of the ex-
chequer rs perfectly legitimate means
of increasing the revenue. Indeed, at
the time they were abolished lotteries
were contributing to the state a sum
amounting to 100000 per annum.
But it was felt that the government
should nj longer participate in an un-
dertaking which had such a demoraliz.
ing effect on the people, for this legal
lied gambling impoverished many and
diverted attention from the less excit-
ing pursuit of making an honest liv-
ing.-London Chronicle.

TERROR TO THE EvILDoEP
"Burmese Sherlock Holmes" Has
Made for Himself a Name That
viii Be Remembered.

Possessed of the woodcraft OF the
American Indian, and an unerring
sense of direction which amounts to
almost a sixth sense, Shinebo Won,
who has been called the Burmese
Sherlock Holiness" is perhaps the
most remarkable detective in the
world. He has followed a trail for
long, relentless days through jungle
and over mountain, and even swollen
rivers have failed to battle him. Once
he has ridden forth on his quest he
never halts till he has found his man,
and the efficacy of his methods may
be judged by the fact that he has
made more than 5000 captures.
So successful has Shinebo Won
been in capturing criminals, that all
sorts of superstitious stories have
been told Of him. He has simply
looked a suspect in the eye long and
intently, and the culprit has crumpled
up and confessed, SC that those who
have been 1ked with his keen, search
ing glance VOW that he can read
thoughts like a book, and that he
a see through solid materials.
This Burmese Sherlock Holmes seems
to bear a charmed life. He has been
persistently menaced in the lonely
jungle. and various attempts have
been made to poison him, but they
have always failed. He does not ad-
NIT that he bears a charmed life.
There must be a beginning and an
end of all things" he says. And a
mans honest duty will carry him a
long way"

NebuIar Hypothesis.

The nebular hypothesis, as promul-
gated by Kant and developed by
Herschel, is simply a theory OF the
formation of the solar system. To
Herschel it seemed that he was able
to view the actual changes by which
the nebula, or glowing vapor, became
condensed down into stars, as one can
study the growth of the trees in the
forest, but, to quote the Encyclopedias
Britannica, in attempting to pro
nounce upon the evidence with re
gard to Herschel's theory, we must al
once admit that the transmutation
of a nebula into a star has never been
SEEN" The actual history of the con
densation of the 9 from the
primeval atmosphere remains perforce
vague.

HE'S PoSSUM OF SNAKE TRIBE
Spreading Adder Seeks to Terrify, but
Really Is Nothing More Than a
Bio Bluff.

He's a sly creature, this snake. When
he's discovered and trapped he'll make
such a hullabaloo about it, with his
kissing and contortions, that II you're
not wise to the fact that he's only
blufing you're sure to be frightened,
says the Philadelphia North Ameri.
AN. If you're acquainted with him,
however, and refuse to run, he'll give
one final twist and roll over on his
back, just as though he had made up
his mind to die and save you the trou,
BILE of killing him. But don't be fooled,
He's only playing possum. He's the
spreading adder.
His tricks have resulted in all sorts
of wild stories about him. Many peo'
pie believe he's poisonous, because
he spreads his head out fiat and Kisses
when he's disturbed. AS a matter OF
fact he couldn't hurt you if you
picked him up by the head. He's only
bluffing when he Kisses.
Then there's another story about the
spreading adder to the effect that he
will bite himself and fall over dead
This belief comes from his habit Of
playing possum when he sees he's cor
nered and cant escape.
The spreading adder is about thirty
inches long, a reddish-brown and
blotched and spotted. He lives in dry
woods and en- sandy hillsides, and eats
toads and insects. He's also called
the blowing viper or the ~hog-nosed ad
der.

Animals Natural swimmers.

One Of the swiftest swimming ami
mails is the squirrel. A sportsman ON
one occasion, having at hand a SPUR
rel born in captivity, which had never
seen water, wanted to see if it could
swim, and took it with him in a row
boat to the center of a lake. The
squirrel turned toward the bank, head
and paws above the water, back and
tail underneath it, and began to swim
SO rapidly that it was with the great
est difficulty that the man recovered
it when it reached the shallow water
near the land. 1t is said that even
many nonaquatic birds will swim like
ducks If an attempt is made to drown
them.
