eesone Dull Facts.

Two friendly little neighbors, aged
respectively AZ and 5 years, recently
seated themselves on the curbstone
near my windows for religious dis
cussion. 1t seemed they had over
heard some grown-ups repeating a
recent prophecy of certain sect as to
the imminent end Of the world and
were greatly exercised at the report.
The elder child, a fair-haired skeptic
from northern state, scornfully de-
clared that he didn't believe the story !;
but the swarthy, dark-eyed little Texan
solemnly asserted: "Yes, it's true; ]
know it's true; foh this mo'nin' i
read it in nah Bible" The midget
doesn't know one letter Of the alpha
bet from another, but he refuses to be
pinned down to vulgar facts when his
spirit wishes to soar. Are children
of the period brighter than their pred
ecessors? At his age / am sure l
could not have fibbed with so solemn
and convincing an air.-Los Angeles

NATIONS DEBT TO PILGRIMS
Their Famous Compact OF Government
Rightly Treasured as Great
State Document.

In the harbor at the tip of Cape
Cod occurred the first birth and the
first death among the Pilgrims in
America. On board the Mayfower, as
she lay at anchor, was born Pere-
grine, son of William and Susanna
White. Here was another child for
the ships nursery, already occupied by
little oceanus Hopkins, who first saw
the light of day far out at sea.
The death was that Of Dorothy May,
wife of William Bradford, future gov
ernor of Plymouth colony. She was
drowned.
First of importance, however, Of
all that occurred here and also fh
the sequence of events, was the draw
ing up and signing Of the famous COM
pact of government, originally desig-
mated by Bradford in his history as "a
combination" And so 1t was, in the
most literal sense, combination.
This agreement, made in writing by
a little group of Englishmen who had
been dismissed by their mother coun-
try as good riddance to bad rubbish"
is now treasured by the nation in
America, to which they contributed as
much as one of three great documents.
The other two are the Declaration of
independence and the Constitution of
the United States.

Malianant Ghost.

Last Christmas, house in Leeds
was visited by an amazing ghost. =
A woman, returning home, went into
the kitchen to warm herself at the
fire. Suddenly she was startled to see
two long white arms emerge from the
flames. Nearer and nearer they came,
until they gripped her arms above the
elbow.
The touch was like red hot iron, and
she fell fainting to the ground. When
she recovered she was surprised to
find that there had been no fire in the
CRATE. She visited doctor, who ex-
amined her arms and found distinct
signs of burns. This was afterward
corroborated by another doctor.-Lon-
don Mail.

what a dream Of beauty and color,
blue sea, blue sky, groves of eucalyp-
tus and olive trees, climbing roses,
white-robed Arab women closely
yelled, their eyes only showing, bare
brown legs and feet, sometimes sill
yer bracelet on one leg, donkey boys
with a nondescript, flowing garment,
red fez on their heads; color every

in a little wood of eucalyptus trees,
with big garden, balconies, terraces

few people live in the town and the
whole hillside is studded with villas.
Moorish almost all, dazzling white, fiat

the top, where we are, there are some

there is a divine view Of the sea and

glimpse of the town Of Algiers, lying

with windows on three sides, so that
we always have the sun. The furni-

what there is is very ugly, but when
the Paris cases arrive, with a few
tables and chairs and silver, the room
will look very different. There are

absolutely necessary, as all the floors
are tiled. However, Charlotte has

ABRAHAM LINCOLN NEVER
SMOKED OR cHEWED TO-
BACCO.

A correspondent of the Boston
Herald expressing curiosity as to
whether Abraham Lincoln used tobac-
co.. William Sloane Kennedy volun-
teered the following information:
"I felt sure that in my valued copy
of Herndon's Lincoln the answer
would be found, and here it is, on p.
302 of vol. L: Lincoln was one day
riding in a stage coach, the only
other occupant of which was Ken
tuckian. The latter offered Abraham
a chew of tobacco. With plain No,
sir, thank you, l never chew Lin
coin declined. Later in the day the
stranger, pulling from his pocket a
leather covered case, offered Lincoln
cigar, which he also politely declin-
ed on the ground that he never smok-
ed. When they separated, the Ken
tuckian, who had also offered Abe a
drink from his brandy flask, with the
same negative result, shook his head,
but frankly told him that, in his ex-
perience, he had found that "a man
who has no vices has id few vir-
tues Lincoln often told this anec-
dote on himself, says Herndon."

mics to good order, inimical to the
peace of the people and breeders of
anarchy. Law should be supreme even
at the price of great loss annd incon-
venience to those who defy it and
under the plea of personal liberty,
strike at the foundations of govern
ment.
By virtue of his privilege as cit
izen the humblest voter in our land
becomes partner in the government
of his country; not merely is he a
partner in the sense of governing
by proxy through those individuals
and bodies which have been by him
clothed with authority, but also in
the responsibility of representing to
the world some measure of the dig
nifty and majesty of the government
of which he is a part. What does my
citizenship represent to my country?
Put the question to the rum run
ners, the brewers, the saloon-keep-
ers ct al, and to the citizen who de-
termines that by any means, no mat
ter how foul, he will crafty his per-
sopal taste or passion in defiance of
all law and decency and at the sacri-
flee of the welfare of the many, set
ting for others an example that
should shame the denizens of dark
est Africa. What does his citizenship
mean to one who, invested with au-
thority, makes common cause with
criminals and himself tramples un-
der foot the law whose supremacy
he is sworn to maintain?
That government of the people,
by the people and for the people,"
may not perish from our country we
will do we'll to heed and put into ac-
tion the words of the immortal Lin
coin who said: "Let reverence for
the laws be breathed by every ,Ameri-
can mother to the lisping babe that
prattles on her lap; let it be taught
in schools, in seminaries and in col
leges, let it be written in primers,
spelling books, and in almanacs; let
it be preached from the pulpits, pro-
claimed in legislative halls and en-
forced in Courts of Justice and in
short let it become the political re-
ligion of the natien, and let the old
and the young, the rich and the poor,
the grave and the gay, of all sexes
and tongues and colors and condi-
tions sacrifice increasingly upon its
altars."
1t is a time for every citizen to
question gravely, "What does my
citizenship mean to my country?"
"Is my country better or worse be-
cause of my contribution in ser
vice." "Does my citizenship in all
its details make for the common veal
or the common i'll of my people?"
Let each one ponder the question
and make answer to his own con-
science and before the bar of the
Eternal Judge.

Ford Makes New Output Record

The production of the Ford Motor
Company for May in the United States
is expected to be 100000 cars and
trucks, which output would break any
mark made in the annals of the or
ganization. More than 10000 Ford
cars and trucks were produced dur
ing April which figure Is within sever
al thousand of the highest number of
cars ever built by, the company in this
country in a single month.
Not only did production figures soar
during April, but the record for the
greatest production for a single days
work was broken on April rs, when
1857 cars and trucks were built In the
United States. The previous record for
one days production was 1892, made
last October.
There are now more than $4,000
workers at the Detroit plant, and all
the assembly plants but two are in
operation and they are expected to
open soon. Men have been going
back I'd work steadily during the last
two weeks and the factory will be
running on normal conditions shortly.
The company Ia making parts in
sufficient quantities to insure Ford
owners an ever-ready supply Many
skilled toolmakers and craftsmen are
returning to work in the Highland
Park plant and some new machinery
for expansion is being made.
