iftumorous Department. A Family Quarrel. About seven miles from Rogersville I was overtaken by an ox-cart, in which were a farmer and his wife, and as the fanner offered me a lift into town I gladly climbed up beside l)im. The wife nodded, but did not speak, and after a few words the husband had nothing more to say. At the end of a mile the woman suddenly turned around and said: "I say kaliker!" "An' I say whisky and terbacker!" he gruffly answered. That was all for another mile. I, of course, realised that there was a family jar on hand, but it was not forme to mix in. After we had poked along for fifteen or twenty minutes the woman turned and snapped out: "I keep sayin' kaliker!" "An' drat yer pictur', I keep sayin whisky and terbacker!" yelled thehus band. We crossed a creek and tolled up a long hill, and as the oxen rested for a moment the woman jumped down over the wheel and sat on a rock. "What's the fussin' now?" demanded her husband, as he looked down upon her. "Is It kaliker?" she asked. "Drat it, no!" he shouted. "Then I'm gwine holne." "Then yo' may be gwine.,r She rose up and moved down the hill in the direction we had come, and after watching her awhile the man turned to me with a look of disgust on his face and asked: "Hain't women curus critters? We've got fo' dozen algs to sell in town, and we're outer whisky and terabcker, and she wants kaliker. She said kaliker befo' we started, and she's gwine to stick to kaliker and foot it back home. Land o' live, but them women?them women! They'd jest see their luvin' husbands dead befo' they'd gin up. Gee up, yo' vagabonds, and git along, and if the ole woman gits mad and bums the house up befo' we git back we'll keep right on fur a place where husbands hev rights!"?Ex. Getting Even With the Bull.?Gov. Glynn, of New York, tells a story concerning one Casey, a hod-carrier, who * 1 -1 ?wan smnlnvoH at n I during UlC DUUUUCl nuo ? oountry place in Westchester county. In order to reach the railway station to take the train home it was necessary for Casey to cross an extensive field. One evening there was a bull in this held, and it gave Casey a terrible chase. He sprinted for about half a mile and only escaped by a wonderful leap over a five-foot fence. Next evening on his homeward journey, Casey carried a hod with him to serve as a weapon should he again encounter the bull. This time, however, the bull was absent. Only a playful, harmless calf was in sight. Approaching, it the vindicative Casey gave it a sharp blow with his hod, at the same time exclaiming excitedly: "Take that, and tell your father Patrick Casey done it!"?Upplncott's Magazine.

All an editor has to do is to sit.at his desk six days in the week, four weeks of the month, and twelve months in the year, and "edit" such as this: "Mrs. Jones, of Lost Creek, let a canopener slip last week, and cut herself In the pantry." "John Doe climbed on the roof of his house last week, looking for a leak, and fell, striking himself on the back porch." "While Harold Green was escorting Miss Violet Wise from a church social last Saturday night, a savage dog attacked them, and bit Mr. Green on the public square."

FRIVOLOUS CAUSES OF WAR Fist Fight Started Conflict in Franco and 8mashod Teapot in China. History contains many examples of conflicts that have originated in trivial circumstances. A noteable instance was the Candian war between Turkey and Venice. When the Venetian ambassador was asked by the Turkish grand vizier to ratify a treaty In the Moslem fashion by swearing upon his beard and that of the prophet, the ambassador declined, saying: "The Venetians wear no beards." "Neither, for that matter," angrily retorted the Turk, "do monkeys!" Stung by this insult the ambassador struck the Turk and the latter returned the blow. The treaty was torn to fragments, and the result was a sanguinary war between the two nations. The beginning of the great uprising of the Sicilians against their French conquerors and masters, commonly known as the "Sicilian Vespers," was intensely dramatic. It was Easter eve and Palermo was thronged with merry-makers. A Sicilian bride passed by leaning on the arm of her husband. A French officer flung at her a taunting remark and the husband sprang at him ana felled him with a blow. Now, the Sicilians were not allowed to bear arms; the Frenchman carried a sword. This he attempted to draw as he scrambled to his feet; but a second time the husband's arm shot out and again the Frenchman measured his length on the ground. Then, before anyone could interfere, the insulted husband wrested the sword from his prostrate enemy and ran him through. Wild shouts of exultation from the vi-j C5i-nuw? okATva/1 V*nur thav HtfSeiUU'CU Oltliwus guunou *? > at any rate, regarded the deed. Criea were raised of "Death to the French!" Seized with a sudden frenzy, the populace rushed wildly through the streets, slaying all Frenchmen they encountered. Altogether it is recorded 8,000 perished and many times that number lost their lives in the war subsequently undertaken by France to avenge what she stigmatized as a massacre, but which the Sicilians gloried in as an act of praiseworthy patriotism. Somewhat similar was the origin of that terrible series of religious wars that desolated France in the latter half of the sixteenth century. More than a thousand Huguenots were assembled in a large barn near Vasy, peaceably celebrating their religious * * J /\ 9 ii'Ko t rues unaer me pruicuuuu r? ??<?<. was known as the "Edict of January." The Duke of Guise, with a numerous escort, rode by, and certain of his followers mocked and mimicked the Huguenots in so offensive a way that the latter retaliated with most opprobrious remarks. Soon all were at blows, and from this comparatively trivial beginning arose the bloody wars between the Huguenots and Catholics that for 30 years agitated the French nation. In China, 260 years ago. the smashing of a teapot led to a sanguinary conflict extending over a period of years. The teapot in question formed a part of the traveling equipment of one of the emperors during his progress through a disaffected province of northern China. It happened that certain of the emperor's retinue were intercepted by a band of robbers, who found the teapot among the baggage and indignantly flung it to the ground and broke it. The matter was reported to the emperor, who was so angered by the occurrence that he sent out a punitive force. A long war ensued, resulting, it is said, in the death of 500,000 men. In the year 1879, the Transvaal was declared a crown colony and the salaries of officials, both Dutch and English, were cut down. Among the number so treated was a certain Paul Kruger, whose salary was reduced by S250 per annum. The loss of the money annoyed the Dutchman, who raised the standard revolt As a consequence there followed the Majuba Hill fight, years of agitation, the Jameson raid and finally the great war which cost Britain $1,100,000,000 and the lives of 25,000 of her sons. The borrowing of a tobacco pipe and its return caused civil war in the Pamirs and Afghanistan, while the stealing of a lace petticoat belonging to a lady of Castile by a Moor led to a long and bloody conflnct. The war between Sweden and Poland, which began in 1654, arose through a supposed slight. The king of Sweden suddenly discovered that in a certain dispatch his name and title were followed by only two etceteras, while the king of Poland was given three. The result, incredible as it may seem, was war. Mrs. Masham, the favorite lady in waiting on Queen Anne, was one day carrying a glass of water to her royal mistress when she collided with the Marquis de Torey, on whose clothes the water was spilled. The marquis, failing to obtain an apology for what he regarded as an insult to both himself and his country, made sach ado in the matter that soon bad feeling was engendered. It spread from the court and involved the two nations. It was not settled without the intervention of the great Duke of Marlborough and his brilliant campaigns. One of the most curious excuses for war, as well as one of the most extraordinary of wars, had its origin in a little matter that occurred in the sixteenth century. This "war" was was conducted between a bankrupt grocer of Berlin, on the one hand, and the elector of Saxony, on the other. The immediate cause was the "arrest" of two of the tradesman's horses in the elector's territory, the grocer himself being a subject of the elector of Brandenburg. Failing to obtain redress the belligerent grocer adopted what was then a perfectly legal expedient. He declared war on the realm of Saxony! The declaration was accepted in due form and the war began. The grocer burned farms and even villages, employ ing, alter tne iasnion 01 me nines, mercenaries; and he soon made himself the terror of the district. He was finally influenced to stop hostilities, the mediator being no other than Martin Luther, however, he was betrayed into further acts of hostility, and, captured, was made to suffer death on the wheel. An American writer has contended that the war of 1812 may be traced to the squeal of a Rhode Island pig. Opinion as to the advisability of war with Great Britain was not all unanimous. The Democratic party favored It, while the Federalist opposed a resort to arms. In Rhode Island, on one fateful election day, one lukewarm Federalist postponed going to the polls until the last moment After finishing his chores he mounted his horse and started to town to exercise his right of suffrage. Just at the psycological moment his attention was arrested by the loud and distressed squealing of a pig, which had been indiscreet enough to put its head between the rails of the fence surrounding a pasture field and was unable to withdraw it. So the farmer dismounted and tarried long enough to liberate the unhappy pig. Then he remounted and proceeded to town, only to find that the polls were closed and that his chance of voting had gone. Now when the votes of that district 'Cvere counted, it was found that the Democratic candidate for the state legislature had been elected by the narrow margin of one vote. If the Federalist who had been detained by the squealing pig had voted, then in a tie the Democratic candidate would have failed of election to the state legislature. In the legislature there was chosen a United States senator. He won his seat without a single vote to spare. So, If that one Democratic assemblyman had failed of election, the Democrats of Rhode Island would have found themselves unable to send a Democratic senator to represent them at Washington. In the United States senate the strange chain of circumstances depended upon a single vote, reached its climax. So evenly was the senate divided upon the question of war with England that the war party carried by a single vote. The new senator from Rhode Island voted with his party for the war, which otherwise would not have been declared, according to this story, or which, at least, would have been deferred. Wars have been fought for land, for gold, for honor, but, so far as Is known, but one war has ever been undertaken for the possession of a dumb animal?and that a mule! This curious event is assigned the recent date of 1907. Senora Irenos Selgada was exiled from the republic of Nicaragua by reason of "pernicious activity against the peace of mind and tenure of office of the duly constituted authorities." He took up his residence in the neighboring republic of Hondural, in close proximity to the international boundary line. One dark night 35 dashing cavalrymen of the Nicaraguan army crossed the line and boldly captured Senor Selgada's mule! That gentleman unburdened himself to the foreign office, at Tegucigalpa, and urged that he be given satisfaction. 14 -1 ?4 DAnlllo A# J\S tl UllttlH-CU, ncoiucill uuumui ui Honduras, was Just then on extremely hard terms with his Nicaraguan neighbors. Senor Selgada's mule offered him a cause belli. Clearly the theft of this mule constituted an insult of such magnitude that the honor of Honduras could be saved only by prompt and decisive action. Accordingly, under the instructions of President Bonilla, the Honduran minister for foreign affairs, opened up a diplomatic correspondence with Senor Jose de Gomez, occupying the like office at Managua, the capital of Nicaragua. Full details of the outrage, together with a demand for the immediate restitution of the mule and an ample apology for the theft, were laid before the Nicaraguan foreign office. This demand was couched in such terms as almost to constitute an ultimatum, the result being a spirited reply from Nicaragua that amounted to a virtual refusal to continue diplomatic correspondence upon a matter of such little moment. Alarmed at this state of affairs, President Roosevelt and President TM?- OA* 4KA MAAkUAmr a/ ljitxa, ui iucaiw, aci iuc luauuiiici j u* the two republics of the north in motion and succeeded in having a board of arbitrators appointed. But this board was unable to effect a peaceful solution of a question that so vitally touched the honor of two nations. Diplomatic correspondence ceased, and the feelings of Honduras and Nicaragua soon attained such a pitch that the only recourse was war. Eonilla's troops invaded Nicaragua, and the war was on in earnest. Among the many wars of Mexico was that of 1838, known as "Guerre de los Pasteles," or the "Pie War." This name is truly descriptive, since it occurred by reason of a few pies baked by a French pastry cook of the city of Mexico and stolen by hungry peons. The cook entered a claim for indemnity in the sum of $60,000. Strangely enough, the French government took cognizance of this claim and made formal demand upon the Mexican authorities for its immediate payment, and, stranger still, the claim was paid. THE SOLITARY MAN He is Often Lonesome and Feels Lost, But True to Himself at Least. There is a peculiar state of mind which one experiences when he finds himself in a company that cannot possibly understand him. He is made aware that it is perfectly useless for him to try to state his views. The people about him would need years of doubt, struggle and reflection, before they could be prepared to appreciate his thought. He is like one in a foreign country, where everyone is ignorant of his language. There is a nothing for him to do but to retreat into silence. Every thinker has felt this sense of utter helplessness and hopelessness. When he is cast among religious bigots or irreligous bigots, when he is confronted with the cock sureness of youth and blind enthusiasm, when he is surrounded by minds that are soaked through and through with the atmosphere of some institution, when he is among the members of some sect or cult or school who are impervious to any idea that does not make for the success of their particular gospel, when he is where those about him are admired in stubborn superstition or wall ed in by an unsympathetic, unelastic rationalism, when he is anywhere that there is no openness, no wonder, no teachableness, and no nerve that feels for pure, unattached truth, he feels like a Robinson Crusoe. Often then he is tempted to say, with Amiel, 'I cannot be in the right, all alone." and to try to lower himself to companionship. How much of the apparent unity among men is at the price of this basest of treacheries?the 'betrayal and abandonment of the soul's own vision. Do not be afraid of being solitary; it is then you are most honest. Be loyal to yourself, and the real Friend will come.?Dr. Frank Crane. 15* A lorgnette with a telescopic handle to permit it to be carried in a woman's handbag or purse is a novelty. WRITTEN IN PRI80N Some Clastic* Composed While All* thors Were in Durance Vile. Byron's famous poem, "The Prisoner of Chillon," Is supposed to be written by Bonnlvard, the Genevan patriot, while he was Incarcerated in the chateau of Chillon, on the shores of the lake. But the poem was really written at lightning speed while Byron was Imprisoned by Inclement weather for a night and a day In the neighborhood. Nevertheless, some notable literary achievements have been really written in jail, undoubtedly the most outstanding being two of the world's greatest classics. "The Adventures of Don Quixote" and 'The Pilgrim's Progress." If only those two books had belonged to the literature of captivity, they would have been sufficient to make that literature distinguished and Immortal. Thomas Cooper, the Chartist, whose life reads like a romance, and whose name is held in reverence by modern reformers, wrote a remarkable poem while he was lying in prison on account of his political agitation. This poem bears the remarkable title of "The Purgatory of Suicides," and when it was published it greated a very considerable stir in the literary world, for it had emanated from the brain of a man who had begun life as a cobbler and had made himself mas/TkA/Tk . /t\.m wV wTw VtjTV VWV wV JVvw RICH \ FRI POOR ] ARE MADE POSSIBLE by FERTILIZER compounded YOUR PARTICULAR CRO imers in York and surround Colu Ferti) Are peculiarly adapted to t THIS SECTION.

Another remarkable poem written In prison is "The Ballad of Reading Jail," by Oscar Wilde, whose remarkable and most sombre book, "De Profundis," was also written there. These two books are among the saddest records in the history of literature. It ought not to be forgotten that one of the greatest letters ever written was penned in a dungeon in Rome. This is the Epistle of St. Paul to the Collosians, a piece of literature, quite apart from its sacred character, which is very hard to beat. It is very seldom that a newspaper has ben edited from the inside of a cell, but even this feat was accomplished by the late lamented W. T. Stead, who during the two months he spent in prison for an ofTence which many people condoned and which a number admired, wrote a series of ar tides and practically conducted his paper.?London Tit-Bits.
