A True PhiJosophee

A retired sea captain, who lived In
Orland, Me-, was inordinately fond of
MS garden and very proud of its neat
and well-kept appearance. One Sun
day he returned from church and
found five hogs busily engaged In
wrecking his garden-the finest in all
Orland.
Leaning on the fence, he looked long
and earnestly at the result of their
tdepredations, and his wife shed a few
teats. The passing nelghbors paused
70 lock, and many a furtive glance
went to the face Of the Captain to
SET how he was taking 1t. At last
he heaved a deep sign and put his
hand on his wife's arm.
Never mind, Polly" he said. "You
never can lay dirt to suit hog."-

The First Curb Market,

The first congress of the United
States, while in session in Federal
hall OF Wall street, New York, In
l7SS-S9, authorized and subsequently
issued bonds (then called stockl
amounting to SO million dollars for the
purpose OF discharging debts incurred
by the continental congress and the
various colonies. This naturally led
to orders for the purchase and sale
OF these bonds being sent to New
York. These orders first came to mer.
chants, attorneys and others, but later,
as the transactions increased, some
men began to give special attention to
this business, becoming the first brok-
eSs in America.

KING UfIH0NORED END llNsUNG
Milan Of Serbia Probably the Greatest
Profligate Of Which There Is

More than one king has died In pow

but 1t remained for King Milan of
Serbia to die without a throne, with
out a country, without dollar and
without friend. hated by his coun-

him, and despised by his own son
and wife. He was born In 1854, and

gamblers, street women and thieves.
and already an avowed atheist and
hater Of virtue and decency. The
death of his second cousin, Michael

loved him and who bore him son.
All went well until she caught
him making love to q middle-aged

forced to abdicate. and although
later his son, then king, brought
him back as commander in chief of
the Serbian army, he returned this
favor by attempting to kill his own
child. He was ordered out Of the
country, and ended up as hanger

REMAINED KING OF HEAVEN
Amusing Hindu Fable Concerning the
Gambler Who Succeeded in
outWitting Fate.

"What Is written on the forehead
must come to pass" this is one of the
major articles in the Hindus' pessimis-
tic credO. Yet even India has it's I'M
Observation-Disclosures who deny the
power of fate. They offer, in scat
tered stories and proverbs, convincing
evidence of their incredulity. A fable
tells how two fishes named Fore
thought and Readywit escaped the
fishermen, but Fatalist was caught and
perished miserably. A rather unusual
story tells how tricky gambler out
witted fate. After death he went to
the other world. There Yama, the
judge of the dead, said to him, Cam
bier, on account of your crimes you
will have to live world-cycle in hell !;
but once on time you gave coin to
q knower Of the Supreme Soul; there
fore you are to be INDIA, the ling Gf
heaven, for a single day. SO say
whether you will take out first your
period in hell or your period as Indra."
Il will take out first my period as In
dra," answered the gambler. Then
Yama sent him to heaven, and the
gods, having deposed Indra, made the
gambler sovereign in his place. En-
ploying his new power the ephemeral
1ndra Immediately called to heaven all
bis gambling friends and female com
paniOns; then he commanded the
gods: "Carry US all in moment to all
the bathing places, both In heaven ana
on earth, and In the seven continents:
and enter this very day into all the
kings on earth, and bestow, without
ceasing, great gifts so that we may
receive merit accruing from this gen.
erosity." Thus the gods did and by
means of these holy observances the
gamblers sins were washed away and
he obtained the rank of Indra perma-
nently. When Yama was informed Of
the matter the next day he exclaimed
in astonishment, "Dear me! This
gambler has cheated s!"-Asia.

 Chief John Mcfarland, of the Dan- ielson police department, made the re- quest Friday morning that publicity be given the fact that he is desirous of having reports made to the police at once relative to suspicious persons. Of late number of peculiar actions upon the part of persons roaming about at night have come to the attention of the police days after the happenings. Chief Mcfarland wishes that all such persons be immediately reported in order that they may be investigated if necessary. In many instances persons who are ap- psrentiy suspicious in their actions are entirely harmless, but where there is any doubt at all the police would like to know about the matter at once.
