Il Is Hard to Be Accurate.

Can you exactly describe what you
see? If you can, you are cIeverer
than most persons. A book recently
published in Paris relates that at a
meeting of scientific men two of them
suddenly began to quarrel. Under
pretense Of obtaining legal evidence
the president of the meeting asked
everyone present to write an exact
report of what had happened The
quarrel was pure piece of acting
arranged to test the powers of oh
servation of the men present.
Though the assembly was composed
entirely of iurists. psychologists and
doctors, only one report contained
less than 20 per cent of error 13 re-
ports had more than 80 per cent
wrong and in "a reports from 10 to
Is per cent of the details We're wholly

WAS EXPECTED TO PROTEST
Customary at One Time for Speaker
of House Of Commons to Re-
sist Appointment

In one respect newly appointed
speaker of the British house of com
mons may congratulate himself that
there has been an abandonment of
some of the old customs. for he is
no longer expected to make an elabor-
ate pretense Of unwillingness to accept
his great office.
This pretense was carried to great
lengths at one time, and the cere-
mOny took on some points of likeness
to the bridal customs of savage coun-
tries, for the speaker was expected to
make show even of physical re
sistance when led TO the chair
1t was not an original custom of the
house. Far back in history it appears
that speakers protested to the house
and to the crown against their cleo
ton only when they really did not
want to be appointed. It seems to
have been under the Tudors that a
ridiculous subservience was imported,
and it was expected of the speaker,
that he should make repeated eX-
cuseS and declare himself unworthy of
election"

CAPTAIN SAM BRADY AND HIS
FAMOUS LEAP

Capt. Sam Brady was a member of
fighting family which made history
on the Pennsylvania border during the
Indian wars after the Revolution.
Captain Brady's greatest exploit took
place in Ohio. He had been captured
by the Indians apd carried to the San
dusky Towns, headquarters for all the
Ohio tribes, where the savages pre-
pared to burn him at the stake.
He was stripped, bound to post
and slow fires kindled around him, for
the Indians hated him SO much that
they wished to torture him as long as
possible, Brady was a powerful man
and he strained at his letters until
they were loosened slightly. Then
with a final effort he snapped the last
bond, leaped across the barrier of
flame and, Selling squaw, pitched
her into the fire.
Before the Indians could recover
from their surprise, the scout escaped
from the village and plunged into the
woods, holly pursued by hundreds Of
savages. Finally he came to the
Cuyahoga river, near the present site
of Kent in Portage county.
Al this place the river flowed be-
tween steep, rocky banks % feet
across from side to side. The scout
was trapped There was no other place
for miles up and down the river where
he could ford It, The Indians were
closing in on him and his only chance
of escape was to try to leap across the
chasm.
Brady could hear the savages yell
ing in the woods only short distance
away as he ran back toward them 10
get good start Then turning, he
sped for the brink and putting all his
failing strength into a final squirt, lie
sprang for the opposite cliff. His
jump was a little short and he struck
the bank a few feet below the edge.
The Indians stopped In Amusement,
then as the scout scrambled up over
the edge. they opened fire.
They wounded him in the leg, delay
ing his flight. and In short time were
on his heels again. He came to lake
and plunged in. STOPPING beneath the
broad pads OF water lily. he breathed
through hollow reed while the saw
ages hunted in vain Oh the shores OF
the lake. They found his bloody trail
to the waters edge and, believing that
he had drowned rather than be cap
tured again. gave up the chase.
Soon afterwsrd Brady reached Fort
Pitt In safety. He had many more
thrilling adventures before his death
on Christmas day. 1895, but his 22-foot
leap across the Cuyshoga WAS the
greatest feat Of all

MAJOR SAM McCULLOUCH'S
LEAP FOR LIFE

Fort Henry was little stockade
built for the protection of the settlers
of West Virginia against the British
and Indians during the War of the
Revolution. II stood on the Ohio
river near the present site of Wheel
Ing. In the summer of 1777 when 1t
was besieged by strong force Of saw.
ages, Maj. Sam Mccullough, noted
border leader, left Fort Pitt at the
head of 40 men to raise the siege.
Coming in sight of the fort, McCul-
lough's men made a dash for the gates
and passed through them In safety, al
though the Indians made desperate
effort TO cut them off. Major McCul-
Tough held back to cover the retreat
of his men until they were safely with
in its walls and delayed so long that
the redskins succeeded in getting be.
tween him and the fort.
Setting spurs to his horse, the
ranger leader dashed for hill back
Of the fort. At its top he met another
band Of Indians and at the same time
"A third group approached him from
another direction The Indians were
now on three sides of him. On the
other was high precipice projecting
over Wheeling creek, 300 feet below
The ranger was cornered.
The Indians raised yell of triumph
as they closed in on him. But when
they saw Mccullough turn his horse
toward the cliff, they stopped in
Amusement.
Urging his horse to dead run, the
scout dashed toward the precipice At
the brink Of the chasm he drove home
the spurs and as his mount flew into
the air braced himself In the saddle.
The first leap was a clear drop of 80
feet, but both horse and rider were
uninjured as they landed on the steep
bank. Then slipping and sliding for
25O feet more. they came to the creek
bottom
AS the Indians rushed to the edge
of the precipice expecting to see the
crushed forms of horse and man far
below, they were astOnished at the
sight of the major, still upright in the
saddle, plungng into the creek anu
riding up the other side to safety.
Within few hours he was back at
Fort Pitt. organizing a larger expedl-
ton to march to Fort Henry.
Five years later as Major McCul-
Tough and his brother were riding
along road near Van Metres fort,
unsuspecting danger, they rode direct
ly into an Indian ambush. This time
McCullough's Workmanship could do
him no good. A dozen Indian rifle
shots rang out and Sam Mccullough
fell dead.

POSSIBLE TO BE TOO FRANK
Honest Criticism by Friends Would
Wreck ReIations-Almost Every
One Has "Paste Jewels"

It is impossible to tell the whole
truth to an average human being and
still remain on terms of friendship
with him. There Is little friendship
without make-believe. If two men are
close friends, you may take it that
they have been pretending 10 a con
siderably higher estimate of each other
than they would set down in a perfect
honest diary.
1t Is not necessary that they should
deliberately lie to another, but they
must discreetly conceal certain
amount of criticism that is going on
all the time behind the bones of their
skulls.
What is said In spirit of truth is
set down TO malice. Can a man be
your friend If he steals the crown
from your head? Can he be your
friend even if he steals single jewel
from your crown-especially the paste
jewel? We have ali--the greatest and
the meanest of us-paste jewels in our
crowns. VIII true friend point them
out to world that Is already over
much inclined to scott? Or will he not
rather organize claque that will
pretend to be dazzled by diamondsf
Man is not only a realist. He is also
lover of romance. He dreams of
what he would be quite rs often as
he deplores what he is. He cannot
help being attracted by people who
make his dream appear true. There
are some men who are such intense
cyclists that they can believe in the
truth of their dreams without any
assistance from other people. Southey
agreed that his "Madoc" was "the
best English poem since Paradise
Lost" There was no need to tell
him so; he knew it already.-New

SEATTLE MARKETS,

Seattle, Dec. 20.-There was little

The country demanded $l.10 for clubs,

but millers, confronting little flour
