thorities that Ouelette must have on
Sunday raided some gum machines or
others of q similar nature as he or
fered coppers in payment OF his rare

about his person were three skeleton

until the time comes for him to be

uaIaeksd Concentration.

Speaking Of man who was failure
because of his lack OF concentration
and his ina ability to know his own mind
five minutes at time, a captain Of in
dustry said he reminded him of hunt
ing dog he once owned:
"At sunrise the dog would start out
on his own hook after deer. He would
Jump a buck and run him for miles.
When the buck was on the point Of e1-
haustion the hounds nostrils would
catch the faint In the air where a fox
had crossed the trail, and he would in
stantly decide that, after all, fox was
what he had come for, and he would
turn aside to pursue the fox. Perhaps
an hour later, when the chase was
growing warmer every minute, his keen
nose would detect the presence Of a
rabbit, and he would go after the cot
tontail, with the inevitable result that
by 4 o'clock in the afternoon that
hound would be thirty or forty miles
away from home In a swamp with a
chipmunk treedT-Saturday Evening

Spanish Qouhloona.

Should one find a pirates buried
treasure he would have to dispose Of
his Spanish gold at its bullion value.
for since Aug. 1, 1908, when the COM
mon crier made proclamation from the
steps Of the Royal Exchange Of Lon
don that after that date the doubloon
would cease to be legal tender In the
West Indies, including British Guiana,
the doubloon has not been the precious
thing 1t was In ITO and for q cen
fury after 1t was worth So, more or
less. It has ceased to be coined In its
native country, Spain, and since 1908
It has been unpopular In the West In
dies, where for a long time It figured
In a mixed circulation, embracing Brit
fish, United States and Spanish coins
In the interest Of romance, however,
the name at least must survive. 1t
signifies nothing more than that the
coin was double the value Of pistole,
but the "doubloon" was never such
mouth filling mockery as ''pieces OF
eight" which suggests great riches,
but means only Spanish silver dollars,
pieces equivalent to eight reals-Roch-
ester Post-EIpress.

William De Morgan.

In spite Of himself William De Nor
gan became famous. He deliberately
violated all the rules made for the
guidance Of novensts who seek to be-
come popular. None Of his novels was
addressed to the greater public that is
avid for the latest thing Of the moment
In fiction, but nevertheless they reach
ed that public. He was a law unto
himself in the novels that he wrote
during his marvellous career that span
ned only ten years. IL Is doubtful If
in English literature or In any other
can be found a writer whose life and
literary career are comparable to his.
He was an old man when the world of
readers came to know him, and his age
was an asset toward celebrity. At
seventy he was hailed as eagerly as
Kipling was hailed at twenty, and in
his way he was no less a prodigy than
the younger writer.-Boollman.

Stocking the National ParIes.

The United States Is carrying on q
very interesting work In exchanging
the wild animals Of one region for those
Of others-transplanting elk and deer
and Rocky mountain hghorns from
regions In the United States where
they are plentiful to others where, so
far as known, they have not lived.
Some Of the animals are being shipped
long distances, says the Popular Sci
ence Monthly.
Wyoming is full Of elk The herds
In the Jackson Hole country are the
largest Of any Of North American wild
animals since the days Of the countless
buffaloes. But the big Yosemite Ma
tonal park Of California, with its
three-quarters Of Q million acres, un-
tn recently had no elk, or at least only
q very few scattered specimens But
the elk shipped In from Wyoming have
become very much at home and are
breeding and multiplying rapidly, add
ing to the charm and picturesqueness
Of this popular national playground

he can see through 1t. He may have
to go back four or five years, but he

In less than an hour he win know
what your motive was Right now he
II angry because his daughter was not

You may think that the other girl de-
served to be selected, but you don't
know all that Henry knows It is a
long story, but he is willing to tell 1t
to you, and after hearing it you viii

The Emerald,

The emerald has been known since
early times both In Europe and in GER
tain parts Of the orient, where its at
tractive color and rarity have endowed
it with the highest rank and a varied
lore. Its name may be traced back to
an old Persian word which appeared
In Greek as "smaragdos," mentioned
by Theophrastus over 800 years before
the Christian era, and again in Latin
as "smarasdus," seen in the writings
Of Pliny, who particularized somewhat
on its properties and supposed me-
dicinal virtues and was even shrewd
enough to suspect its identity with the
much more common beryl, although
eighteen centuries elapsed before this
suspicion was verified by scientific
proof.
