i tumorous f rpartmrut. A Literary Shrine. The car was delayed by a hot box, arid some of the passengers descended and strolled up and down to stretch their legs. A bright young drummer, looking appreciatively down the long green tunnel of the elm-shaded street and up at the quaint old-fashioned houses, commented on the beauty of the place. "Got a kind of a Sarah-Orne-Jewett-Mary-E.-Wilklns-Alice-Brown look i it somehow. Sav. I believe some body must have written this place up; It looks natural! Let's see the oldest inhabitant over there." Two aged villagers on the curb were arguing the respective merits of dashing on water from a pail or beating out the Are with a broom. He hailed them genially. "Say, this little old town of yours belongs In the birthplace of distinguished people and homes of authors class, doesn't it? Real scene of Soand-so's romance?illustrated supplement?special article with photographers kind of things? New England nobilities? Daughters of the Puritans in Literature? Who's your most distinguished cltlsen?" The aged natives looked at him re"" xl *? * A* nonh AthftP. necuveiy, tuiu iuw ? "Jonas Bardwell, he owns the biggest place," ventured one of them cautiously, "but Enos Rodman, he's about as smart as anybody." "I didn't say richest, did I? Nor I didn't say smartest," persisted the Inquiring drummer. "Most distinguished, I said; literature and art, you know; that sort of thing." "Oh," echoed the second venerable native, brightening, "that sort o' thing! Now I know who ye mean; ye must mean Cale Henderson. Cale, he's with Slocum's circus, and he writes the language for ary bill board that show sets up, and tells the artist feller what critters to paint, doing what Into the bargain. "He's certainly a master hand for squeezing out the biggest words in the dictionary, an' sprinkling 'em round effective. He's art an' literature, all right, must be him ye was a thinking of. "Cale, ye see, he's some showy In his doings an' 'taint but natural outsiders taking him fer something extry. We ain't never reckoned him a 'distlnIshed citizen'; but mebbe if you hain't known him, boy an' man, es we have, ye might never notice he was Jest a fool, after all. "Cale, he was born in that house right opposite. There ain't a tablet on it, yet; but ef ye want to consider it a literary shrine, I don't know's anybody'll hender ye." There was a burst of laughter; and the drummer running a hasty eye over the contents of the show window of the general store and postofflce, murmured meekly: "Gentlemen, if anybody would like some gumdrops warranted genuine antiques, or striped peppermint sticks such as grandmother used to suck, I guess it's up to me to buy 'em."? Youth's Companion. When Valor Balks. A couple of Kansas men were talking of fearlessness the other day. "All this talk." said one of them, "reminds me of a peace officer I knew a number of years ago In western Kansas. This officer was entirely fearless?in fact, the kind of chap who would have charged hades with a single bucket of water. To look down Into the barrel of a gun in the other fellow's hand was as placidly accepted an affair for him as to light his pipe. He was sent for one day. " 'What's the matter?' he asked. " 'Cowboy in that room,' said a citizen, designating the place. "He's wild and dangerous. He's locked himself in, and we're afraid he'll break out and do us harm.' "So this officer opened the door of the room and looked in. The cowboy had a six shooter in one hand and a stick of dynamite in the other and calmly remarked that he would turn them both loose in case the officer came into the room. The officer considered the thing for a minute. Then he backed away and as he did so remarked: " 'Let him sleep it off. They is times when a man who ain't afraid is a blind fool.' "?Kansas City Journal. Ch-onic Discontent.?President Taft, In one of his addresses to the farmers of Florence, N. C., told a story about discontent. "No man." he said, "can really unJwomi ohrnnir- discontent after hav ing eaten one of those famous pine stews of North Carolina. Chronic discontent does, however, exist. Now and then we find a case or two among farmers when the weather goes wrong. " 'Ah, yes, Joseph, you have a cause to complain,' a lawyer said to a farmer. 'The harvest has been very bad; no doubt of that. But you should remember that Providence cares for all, and even the birds of the air are provided for.' " 'Yes,' said the discontented farmer, 'so they are?off my potatoes.' "? Washington Post. Too Much For His Faith.?"The late Bishop Hare." said a Sioux Falls phy slcian, ' used, very reasonably, to impute scepticism to misunderstanding. "He once told me about a Philadelphia business man of sceptical tendencies who said to him: "My dear Dr. Hare, I do not refuse to believe in the story of the ark. I can accent the ark's enormous size, its odd shape and the vast number of animals it contained. But when I am asked, my dear doctor, to believe that the children of Israel carried this unwleldly thing for forty years in the wilderness?well, there, I'm bound to say, my faith breaks down.'"?Detroit Free Press. Both Were Winners.?A former United States senator was sitting in the Grand Pacific hotel in Chicago one evening when he was approached by an old time friend, who was engaged in a losing battle with John Barleycorn. The man took a chair alongside the senator. "I have a tip on which I can make $4 on the open board of trade tomor row lr L can gei *iu iu pui uv, ?ic said. "I thought you would let me have the ten." The senator canvassed the situation quickly in his mind. Then he reached Into his pocket and pulled out some money. "There you are," he said to his friend, handing him $4. The man took the currency and then hesitated. "This is only $4, senator," he explained. "I need ten." "You said you expected to make only $4, didn't you? Well, there it is. You have made 14, and I have made $6." And that closed the transaction. pisrrllancou* grading. CHARGED WITH THEFT. A Queer Trial In Which Was Used I Queer Dafens*. One of the most Interesting: trial! that ever took place In any countrj was that) of James Stevens in the California courts for theft. The circumstances were as follows: I There were four prospectors In th< Klondike region when the gold fevei there was at its height, among whon Stevens was one. They "struck ii rich," divided up and started out foi the United States. Just before leaving Stevens got into a faro game anc lost everything he had. Winter wai coming on and he bade fair to starvt unless something was done for him So the other three decided to pay hin so much to guard their dust on th< ship and pay his way home to Sar Francisco. They each had their shar< of dust and nuggets accurately weighed ana then put them into I common pile, pending, of course, the!) reapportionment on reaching port This they placed in a strong boj which they nailed up and sealed carefully. It was Stevens duty to watcl this by day and sleep by it by nlghi until the destination was reached There was exactly 200 pounds avoirdupois of the gold, sworn to by a regulai weigher. It was worth a great dea of money. Well, everything went along smoothly until San Francisco was reached Stevens seeming to appreciate wha his former partners were doing for hlrr and guarding his trust Jealously. Wher the ship came into port the box was Immediately removed, under the supervision of Stevens, to a place of reweighing, so that each could take hh share again and deduct so much foi Stevens' pay. It was found that instead of having 600 pounds of gold as before there wai now only a fraction over 698 pounds The partners were loath to distrusl Stevens and had it reweighed twice but with the same result each time. Reassured as they were of his guilt and having contempt for such ingratitude, they immediately swore out e warrant for his arrest. He all th< time protested his innocence, but wai not able to account for the loss. The poor felllow was thrown lntt prison and held for trial. Not having any money or friends, he grave up all hope of being acquitted, as the circumstantial evidence Beemed absolutely against him. A young lawyer wax appointed by the court to defend him This young man, Thadeus Wayne by name, set to work on the seemingly hopeless job with great enthusiasm, as he had few clients anyhow and plenty of time. The case was soon called and all the circumstantial evidence set forth Wayne did not even question a witness. When all the testimony was in Wayne requested the judge to allow him to qualify Samuel L. Johnson teacher of physics in a high school, a: an expert witness. The ludge, not seeing any relation of physics to th? theft, was about to refuse the young man when a peculiar glimmer in th< latter's eye persuaded him to humoi the boy. Johnson was placed on th< stand, and the following colloquy ensued: "With what does physics deal?" "With natural phenomena, or th< changes In the state or condition 01 matter." "Does the weight of a person change as he changes his location on the earth?" "Yes." "Just how does that happen, and how much does the weight change?' "The weight of any body Is greatesi at the poles of the earth, as they are the nearest points to the centre. It gets less and less the farther we travel toward the equator, for we go awaj from the center. This effect is enhanced by the rotation of the earth bodies tending to fly off more at th? equator than near the poles. The combination of these two makes a bodj weigh one two-hundred-and-eightyninth less at the equator than at tb< poles and a proportionate amount foi distances between." "About what fraction of its weight would a body lose in going from Cape Nome, Alaska, to San Francisco?" "I should say about one in 300." "Then gold weighing 600 pounds lr Nome could not possibly weigh ovei 598 pounds here, could it?" "It could not." It is needless to say that Stevens was acquitted on this evidence. His formei partners were so sorry of their receni suspicion and so eager to make amends that they not only paid him the salary tihey had promised him, but set hiir up in business from their ample funds, This fact is peculiar, but perfectly ir accord with reason. It is recognized by the United States government. Every time bullion is sent from Washington to the New Orleans mint a certain amount of weigh is lost in the mere act of transit. So in order to get the same amount of metal in each coin compensating weights or those specially calibrated have to be used or else special scales. If the weights are made at Washington and sent to New Orleans of course they will lose in weight and will weigh true on a pair of balances But spring balances cannot be used.? Lawrence Hodges in Denver Times. PAUL JONES' PROMISE. Our Great Naval Hero and the Duchess of Chartres. The duchess of Chartres was an enthusiast in the cause of American lib erty and a warm friend of its greai naval champion, Paul Jones, whorr she nicknamed the "Untitled Knighl of the Sea." The duchess was a roya! princess and a very great lady, and Captain Jones was a sailor, self educated and the son of a Scotch gardener, but in the exchange of gifts and compliments which, according to the custom of the day in France attended their friendship, he was not to be outshone. At a luncheon which she gave Jusl before he sailed from France in the Ranger on that famous cruise of his n.UIVU V* nror fA thft VOr\ ? 1UL11 vailicu II1C UUt tvr VMV * w j shore of Rritaln, It was the good fortune of Paul Jones to share In a conversation touching a French naval engagement in which the grandfathei of the duchess had borne a conspicuous part and to defend and explair his maneuvers on that occasion, showing a knowledge of every ship and every captain engaged, and winning or the spot the ardent personal adherence of Mme. de Chartres. At the close of the feast she presented him a valuable watch which had been her grandfather's. Takar by surprise, the American captair nevertheless accepted it with a grace that charmed the courtly company, | promising that In return, If fortune . favored him, he would some day "lay an English frigate at her feet." It was a daring boast, but in A. C. Buell's biography of Paul Jones it is related how he kept it. Within two years occurred the marvelous victory of the Bonhomme Richard over the Serapis, concerning which the victor wrote the duchess a letter ending, "The enemy surrendered at thirty-five minutes past 10 p. m., by your watch, ^ which I consult only to fix the moment of victory." t That was a phrase to delight a sor ciety that reveled in pretty phrases, and the duchess was amply satisfied. j wnen raui jones reucneu roiis one gave a grand banquet In his honor. Just before It ended he reminded her of her gift and his promise. A servant was sent to his room and returned with a long leather case, which the duchess took amid the exclamations and eager curiosity of the company. "Your royal highness perceives the impossibility of keeping my promise In kind," explained the knight of the sea, smiling. "The English frigate proved to be a forty-four on two decks, and she is now at Lorient with French colors flying. The best I can do toward keeping my word of two years ago is to place in your dainty hands the sword of the brave officer who commanded her; I have the j honor to surrender to the loveliest of women the sword surrendered to me bv one of the bravest of men?the sword of Captain, the Hon. Richard ' Pearson of his Britannic majesty's late ship, the Serapis.' I ' Shakespearean Discussion. Recalling the interesting If not famous agitation aroused by the late Ignatius Donnelly of Minnesota, over the . authorship of Shakespeare's plays, Adlal Stevenson writes that Mr. Donnelly , as a member of congress when the conj troversy was at its bubbling point met the famous Colonel Wintersmith on 't Pennsylvania avenue. After a cordial greeting the colonel remarked, "I have been reading your , book, Donnelly, and I don't believe a word of It." "What?" Inquired Donnelly, with great surprise. "Oh, that book of yours," said the colonel, "in which you tried to prove ( that Shakespeare never wrote 'Hamlet' , and 'Macbeth' and 'Lear* and all those j other plays." "My dear sir," replied Donnelly with great earnestness, "I can prove beyond , all peradventure that Shakespeare never wrote those plays." ! "He did," replied Wintersmith, "ha r did write them, Donnelly. I saw him write three or four of them myself." "Impossible!" exclaimed Donnelly, who was as guiltless of anything that , savored of humor as the monument recently erected to the memory of the " Hon. John Sherman. "Impossible, colonel, that you could have seen Shakespeare write those plays; they were | written 300 years ago." "Three hundred years, 300 years," ' slowly murmured the colonel In a pa1 been so long? Lord, how times do >* ^ fly!"

Policy Holders While It is a fact that in due time ach of you will receive the usual ahtual address of President Frelinghuyen relative to the record of the Muual Benefit for the year 1909, still I eg to advise that advance Informalon is to the effect that the year just losed was the most prosperous, from very viewpoint, in the history of the rand old company, and especially dth reference to savings by reason f the mortality expense, amounting o nearly $900,000 less than normal, nd because of this fact, notwlthtanding the dividend scale for 1910 ad already been Increased something Ike 16% over the scale for the prelous ten years, the directors have deided that during 1910, $676,000 shall e distributed among the policy hoi Bin in me aiiuye ui an cnra uitiucuu. 'he dividend will be paid in cash to hose who have paid up policies, and rill be applied to still further reducig the premium of those not fully aid up. This is but another illusration of the fact that the management never retains the money of polry holders beyond the amount necesiry to absolutely safeguard the lat;r's interests. In this connection I eg to advise that there are now in mrce in York county nearly 350 pollies, representing about 1525,000 inurance on the lives of her citizens, he individual policy holders carrying rom 31,000.00 to $15,000.00 and from ne to Ave policies each.
