A Very Oi.d Tree.?" Hear about
Paul Shoup's scheme?"ini|Uired 'a
Southern Pacific official, referring to
the assistant general passenger agent
of the company.
"A most elaborate drawing appeared
in an Eastern publication recently
showing a tall tree, and on the
sides, from base to tip, scenes of various
great historical events in the
world's march of progress. Under
the picture appeared the legend 'In
the Lifetime of a California Redwood.'
"Shoup sent on to the publishers,
seeking permission to use the original
drawing on an enlarged scale as a
California souvenir to be sent broad'
cast into all the public schools of the
land. Got to talking of the idea, and,
looking at the dates on the events,
changed his mind. The oldest date in
the picture was 520 A. D. which
would make the tree less that 1,400
years old. Well. Jordan and several
other scientists claim that the California
giant redwoods are more than
3.000 years old. So Shoup is trying
to get up a picture that will show the
birth of Moses, the voyages of Ulysses
and the rise and fall of the Roman
Empire."?San Francisco Chronicle.
The Best That Could Be Said.?
Senator Gore of Oklahoma, in illustration
of one of his points of his
speech in Faneuil Hall on Saturday
afternoon, told a story of the James
family of Jamestown. Va.. who since
the foundation of that historic city
have been accustomed to have all
births and deaths in the James family
recorded in the city register.
A few years ago Thomas James got
married and after a honeymoon of
eighteen months abroad returned
home with little Jimmie James as one
of the most valuable acquisitions of
their foreign trip.
As was the long-standing custom of
the family, the proud parents wanted
Jimmie's birth recorded in the city
registry, but the city clerk politely
Informed them that it would be impossible
to oblige them, since the
child was born not only out of the
city, but in another land.
After much exhortation and influence
brought to bear the officer, however.
promised to do the best he
could, and wrote the following in the
registry: "Jimmie James, born Feb28.
1905, during the temporary absence
of his parents."?St. Louis Republic.
fur ** * ultu <?i.< Tin.' Knici.vit?There
is one thing Wu Ting-fang does not
approve, and that is the sending of
Chinese commissioners to the various
countries, such as France, Germany
and America, to study modern government.
"The only thing 1 am sure
about." he told me when asked the
reason for this disapproval, "is that
such commissioners would learn how
to cook French dishes, the correct
wines to furnish with the dinner
courses and the stars among the
world's tailors, cigar dealers and wine
merchants. I have not a very high
opinion of governmental commissions.
I would be polite to them, of course,
but would express for them a slight
contempt, such as the parlor maid?
you've heard the story?
"The maid awoke her mistress in
the middle of the night with the whisper.
'There is a burglar downstairs!'
" 'Nonsense.' returned her mis*
w?uu. *v.f. Vinchon/1

petting home late from the club."
" 'No, madam,' was the maid's reply.
'it is a burglar, for he isn't stumbling
over any thing, nor swearing
nor falling down.' "?San Francisco
Call.
Better Than None.?The negro's
love of titles of whatever sort is
amusingly illustrated by a story told
by the governor of a southern state.
It appears that the congregation of
a colored church in Georgia conceived
the notion that it would add greatly
to their dignity if the pastor of the
church were enabled to add the initials
"D. D." to his name. A member,
hearing of an institution in the north
which would, for value received, confer
such degree, entered into corresspondence
with that end in view. Reply
came to the effect that the sum of
$7.r> would obtain the desired dignity.
A difficulty arose, however, in that
the congregation was unable to raise
more than $39. Finally, after much
confabulation, the congregation delegated
one of their number to see the
thing out. Accordingly the follow,
ing message was sent to the institution
mentioned:
"Kindly forward our pastor one
*D..' we being unable to afford the
other at this time."?Harper's Weekly.
Playing Sciiooi..?"How many seed
compartments are there in an apple?"
he queried. Xo one knew.
"And yet," said the school inspector.
"all of you eat many apples in
the course of a year and see the fruit
every day probably. You must learn
to notice the little things in nature."
The talk of the inspector impressed
the children, and they earnestly
discussed the matter at recess time.
J no leacner me iu-m u??.? vinheard
this conversation. A little
girl, getting some of her companions
around her. gravely said:
"Now. children, just s'pose that
I'm Mr. Inspector. You've got to
know more about common things. If
you don't, you'll all grow up to be
fools. Now tell me." she said, looking
sternly at a playmate, "how many
feathers has a hen?"
Tin-: Loss IIk Occasionki>. ? A well
known minister of Philadelphia accepted
an invitation to lecture in a
small town in New Jersey, but afterward
discovered that he had a prior
engagement on the same date, so he
notified the committee accordingly,
and offered to make good any loss
the society might incur through his
delinquency.
In reply the secretary said that no
harm was done, and inclosed a handbill,
which read as follows: "As the
Rev. Mr. Blank is unable to give his
advertised lecture as announced, a
negro minstrel troupe has kindly
volunteered to give a performance.
Any person who has bought a ticket
for his lecture can have it exchanged
to this on payment of lo cents extra."
? Philadelphia Ledger.
Tiik Ki.csivk Tiioriiirr.?A little
girl who was trying to tell a friend
how absent minded her grandfather
was. said: "He walks around thinking
about nothing, and when he remembers
it he then forgets that what
he thought of was something entirely
different from what he wanted to remember."?Philadelphia

GASTON. u
Gastonia Gazette, March 31: Gasto- jj
nia's police force has the well earned C(
reputation of catching everything they ^
go after, and on last Thursday night, ai
Messrs. Abernathy and Mauney, of the w
night force, made quite a queer captore.
At a late hour, having met near
the postoffice, they spied what seemed e.
In the light of the electric street lamp
to be about the largest rat ever heard |j
of. Rather in a spirit of fun they gave u
chase and soon found the animal was j1(
a big brown muskrat. After some j]
lively sprinting and pelting with sticks ^
and rocks they finally caught it. It is ai
supposed to have gotten into Main
street by coming up the large culvert
into which the street drains in front tl
Williams' drug store The most p(
disastrous conflagration Gastonia has 0i
suffered in several years occurred Fri- s,
day night about 11 o'clock when the P]
plant of the Page company was almost a]
entirely destroyed by flames which, it tl
is presumed, originated in the boiler jr
room. The lumber in the yards the tc
benchroom and the kiln were saved
though the latter was considerably hi
damaged. The main building, includ- tl
ing all the woodworking machinery h
therein was a total loss. Mr. J. E. ti
Page, president and general manager ei
of the company, estimates the loss at
about $8,000. This is total as there h
. was no insurance on the building or \v
contents, the rate, it is understood, be- b
. ing practically prohibitive. The city
. fire department responded to the alarm "
sounded by the fire whistle but when
. they arrived the flames had gained <
. considerable headway, owing to the ii
. very inflammable nature of the build- ci
ing and its contents. In the course of ii
fighting the fire the city reservoir was v
practically exhausted of its reserve b
supply. Although the majority of the ^
business men had gone home a large j|

TWISTING A BRONCO.
low Colts Are Put Through the Grand
Merry Go Round.
He was a big black beauty of a colt,
nd just as mean as he was hand>me.
"Bronc" had never been thorughly
broken by his former owner,
nd when I first saw him he was in
le hands of the best horse breaker in
imp, who was putting the finishing
>uches to his education.
"They called this pony a* outlaw
fore I took a-holt of him," remarki
the bronco twister. "Shucks! Nowdays
ef a hoss bucks his saddle
lankets off'n him the boys say 'Outiw!
Bad bronco. Guess I'll ride
lat old hoss over yonder.'
"I've sweated most of the ugliness
uten him a'ready," continued the
ainer. "He ain't got but one mean
abit left, an' today I'm going to larn
im to fergit it."
The mean habit referred to was
lis?when "Bronc" decided to go
raight ahead, he'd go! Over rocks
nd down the steep banks of a wash,
irough cactus and the well named
it's claw; and if the chollas pricked
im, or the curved claws of the brush
latched at his fianks, he would throw
i some fancy bucking for.good measre
as he tore along. But turn?
ever.
Tho troinor tnnU his rintn frnm the
iddle horn and tied one end to the
>pe bridle or hackamore, fastening
securely under the jaw. Then he
ftted the colt, working toward its
anks, until the animal allowed him
> reach the tall and fasten a loop of
>pe in its heavy strands.
The free end of the riata was pass]
through the loop in a way which
ould bring the horse's head and tail
igether when tightened, and by passig
the riata once more through both
ackamore and loop it was prevented
om slipping when released.
"Now, fer the grand merry go
>und!" announced the twister, and
anding away from the colt's heels he
ulled the riula taut until the animal
as bent nearly double. "Keep turni*
till I say you kin stop," he comlanded,
and in fact tbp bewildered
eature was revolving like a top and
linfully learning the old lesson of
is race that man's will is law for the
orse.
We sat in the shade of a mesquite,
atching him for twenty minutes or
> when the bronco twister decided
lat the stiff neck was sufhciently
mber. When he mounted he dlsivered
his error; the frightened
orse pranced and bucked with him
nd finally tried to roll over the rider,
ho sprang from the saddle just in
le nick of time.
But his patience was by no means
chausted.
"Here's a shore way to make 'em
mber." he announced, and picking
P a large flat stone he tapped the
orse's neck for a few minutes steady,
but not with sufficient force to
urt him. "He'll feel that perty soon
n' find it easier to turn than brace
Is tender neck agin the reins."
When the pony had been reversed?
lat is, tied head and tall on the oposite
side?and allowed to rotate anther
half hour, he was dripping with
veat and completely subdued. The
ronco twister mounted and the colt
flowed himself to be ridden about
le flat until he tangled in his trailig
riata and fell, the rider still on
>P.
"Now, we'fl turn him loose an' see
aw he behaves himself," remarked
le trainer, and unslinging the ropes
e again mounted and rode the now
actable horse in circles and figure
ights, wheeling and turning at will.
As the training concluded. "I'd a
eap sooner twis this critter's neck
ith a rope than have him break his
ack an' mine too over yonder cliff."
Which was the justification of
Bronc's" hard lesson.?Out West.

procured a box and had used them but
a short time before I noticed that the

Fairmont, W. Va., April 23, 1907.
Wm. Campbell, Esq., Supt. Agents,
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Co.,
Charlestown, W. Va.
Dear Sir:?
Ten years ago I took with you my
first policy in the Mutual Benefit for
$5,000. The dividends were so much
greater than those of other companies
in which I was carrying my insurance
that in 1902 I took $10,000 more, and
In 1905 still another policy for $5,000.
In addition to these I have insured my
son In your company for $20,000, and
when his brother reaches an insurable
age, I want him also to carry a policy.
The estimates of dividends you gave
me when I took these various policies
have been more than exceeded in every
instance.
? If there is a single dissatisfied Mutual
Benefit policy-holder in the state
of West Virginia, I have yet to hear
of it. On the contrary I hear the
opinion frequently expressed that it is
the best of all the Old Line companies.
This is my personal belief at
all events. Yours very truly,
J. A. CLARK.
