Offended the Herring.

In the fifteenth and sixteenth CEN
turies Helgoland was a center Of the
North sea herring fisheries. Then the
herring veered back to Scotland's
coast and the islanders handed down
a tale of the impiety by which they
forfeited the boon. Yearly they would
form in procession to march about the
island to invoke the coming of the
fish. One spring, when they had gone
but half the route, the herring were
sighted. They abandoned the rite and
made for the boats The herring new
er came again.-National Geographic

OLD RELIC OF REVOLUTION
Boston Statehouse, Now Fully Re-
stored, Is One of the Most Inter
esting in the Country.

The old Statehouse in Boston was
erected in 1113. In early days the first
floor was used as the Merchants eN-
change, and the second story as the
meeting place Of the governors of the
province ana the royal council. y few
feet from the eastern porch occurred
the Boston massacre on March >, lao.
In 1879 Washington reviewed from
this building a procession in his honor
and III 1880 William Lloyd Garrison
took refuge there To escape from the
mob that had broken up the anti
slavery meeting and threatened his
life. In later years The building was
turned into business offices and was so
much altered. inside and outside, -
almost to destroy the original architcc-
tural effect. In 1881 it was restored
by the city ut the request of the pub
lic-spirited citizens, and is now III tie
custody of the RoSt0nian society,
which occupies it. The rooms, includ-
ing the old council chamber and hall
of representatives contain collection

People Who Fiourished Forty Centu-

Whales That Walked.

Whales used to walk. That is the
statement Of Prof. darcy Thompson,
authority on fishes of the sea, in lee
ture on that subject at the Royal in
stitution, London. He said the whale
originally had four feet or fins, but
that the two hind ones had simply
dwindled away. In bygone ages an
cestors of the present family of whales
walked about much as seals do.

Presidents Speech at Cheyenne.

Cheyenne, Wyo-Reading again the
proposed senate reservation to article
10 of the league covenant, President
Wilson declared in an address We'd
nesday that should any such reserva-
ton be adopted he would 'be Obliged
as chief executive to regard it as
rejection of the treaty
The president added that rejection
of the treaty would mean negotiation
of separate peace with Germany and
said that such negotiation could not
change a single item of the peace
settlement
The reservation read by the presi-
dent was the same that he laid before
his audience at Salt Lake City. By
its provisions the United States would
assume no obligation to preserve the
territorial integrity of other nations
unless congress should so decide.
ut is as though you said we shall
not join the league now" said he,
"but may join it from time to time.
we WOH pIOIllSC tiihS, but AlohA
time to time we may cooperate.
"The thing is unworthy and ridicu-
lous. 1t means the rejection of the
treaty, nothing less. The issue is final.
We cant avoid it. We've got to make
the decision now. and once made,
there can be no turning back"
Unless the United States went into
the league now, he. added, and assum-
ed its full responsibility, it would have
to come in later with Germany.
Salt Lake City, Utah.-Replying d.
rectly to senate proposals to write
reservations into ratification Of the
peace treaty, President Wilson declar-
ed in an address in the Mormon Tab
ernacle Tuesday that the proposal
would "cut the heart" out Of the league
of nations.

Pueblo, Colo.-Reducing his fight for
the peace treaty to a direct issue of
acceptance or rejection, President
Wilson Friday invited the senate to
take definite and unmistakable stand
one way or the other.
After declaring it would be his duty
as chief executive to judge whether
the senate's action constituted accept
ance or rejection, should reservations
be incorporated in the ratification, the
president added a warning that he
did not consider qualified adoption"
as adoption in fact. He said, however,
that he saw no objection to mere in
terprGtations.

1t may be that just at the moment
that we give way to the bitter intlu-

tunes, although we are unconscious of

III from ovcrexertion on his long
tour for the peace treaty, President
Wilson Friday Cancelled the speaking
dates remaining on his schedule and
turned back to Washington.
The president acted under orders
from his personal physician, DE-. Carey
T. Grayson. who said i'll formal state
ment that Mr.. Wilson was suffering
from nervous exhaustion" and that
while his condition was not alarming,
a considerable period Of rest would be
necessary for his recovery.
A plan for Mr. Wilson TO 80 to New
York to welcome King Albert, the SOY
ereiSn OF Belgium, virtually has been
abandoned. but the president expects
to receive the nation visitor later at
the White House All other engage
ments for the Immediate future have
been Cancelled.
After night OF illness the president
decided to abandon his trip while his
train was at Wichita, Kan. He did not
leave his private car there, and during
most of the day he was in bed. In
the afternoon and evening he got some
sleep and was able to take some nour-
ishment.
DR.. Grayson's statement follows:
president Wilson's condition is due
to overwork. The trouble dates back
to an attack of influenza last April in
Paris, from which he has never en-
tirely recovered
The presidents activities on this
trip have overtaxed his strength, and
he Is suffering from nervous eXhaus-
ton. His condition is not alarming,
hut il will be necessary for his re-
Covery that he have rest and quiet for
a considerable time. GRAYSON."
At the same time Secretary Tumulty
issued this statement:
Upon the advice Of Rear Admiral
Carey T. Grayson, the presidents ply
sician, it has become necessary to can
eel all the presidents engagements
for the immediate future"
Since he left Washington Sept. 3 the
president has delivered forty speeches
for the treaty, and when he reached
Wichita had travelled more than 5000
miles on his original 10,000-mile
schedule
