MYTHICAL STONE OF SCHAiVSIR Legend Says It Was Employed by Solomon in Building Famous Temple at Jerusalem. Schamir is a mythical stone whose specialty was that of extreme hardhpss insomuch that there was no sub stance that It would not cut. King Solomon used it in noiselessly cutting and shaping the metals and stones for the Temple. Solomon was reputed to have dominion over Djinns, and he employed these men in building the Temple. Unfortunately, they made so much noise with hammers, saws and ax that the people of Jerusalem could not hear each other speak. Therefore Solomon directed them to cease their work and inquired whether the metals and stones could not be shaped and cut without noise. The reply was that tHis coma ne none run me siuue ui Schamir. Now it was Sachr's custom to pay a monthly visit to the land of ITidjr and drink a certain fountain empty. So Solomon sent a winged Pjinn, who drew the water from the fountain and filled It with wine. Sachr drank, became drunk and was bound in chains. The captive was promised his liberty on condition that he would reveal the place where the stone that would cut and shape the hardest metals could be found. Sachr told the king to take the eggs out of a raven's nest, place a crystal cover upon them nnr? sod hnw thp raven would break it. Solomon did so. The raven, finding its eggs covered, flew away and returned with a stone in its beak, which it dropped on the crystal and cut it asunder. The raven was asked by Solomon where the stone came from, and was told that it came from a mountain in the far west. The mountain was found, a numbe~ of similar stones were obtained, and with them the rv|!nns hewed the stones for the Tern pie in the distant quarries and brought them to Jerusalem, where they were laid noiselessly in their piilCGS. PF.KSOXAL. The Observer. In April The Observer had sometiling to say editorially about "dividec responsibility." Anions other thing; it said it would have been 'better for Russian and the world if that country had postponed its cnange nom empire to republic until the war was over. The Herald and News in its following issue misconstrued and misrepresent, ed the entire tone and tenor of the article, and declared that "The Observer believes in one-man power aiu cne-man rule." It' was a complete perversion, and calculated to injure The Observer, whether so intended oi no:. we coma noi nei;> imnKing n was son intended; for he could have proclaimed hi~ belief in the-"rule oi the people" without ringing in Th: Observer. A few days ago The Observer referred to the dispute nf two card? dates for governor over a question 01 loyalty, in which dispute one of then asserted, in defense cf his loyalty that he has a son and three nephewin the war. The Observer did no raise the question of his loyalty. \vi said the presence cf a son in the arm-, does not prove or disprove one's loyal ty, for "every man must stand on hi; own merits and not nn the merits cj another." quoting Kipling's well known lines, "For the race is run b;. ones ard ones and not bTT twos anc two5." .And The Herald and News toothis article arc! twisted and perverrec it so as to make it appear that TV: Observer does not. approve of helping a soldier in France but would l?avhim without assistance: and fays i: The Observer editor had a son ir France he would looK at the mattei differently. Xow, dropping the "we'* and al circumlocution, I want to say to Col Aull. without any anger but with r natural resentment: 1. T have no objection to criticism but I do object to misrepresentation Knowing that a controversy ibetwee: two rival newspapers is likely to rui into something unpleasant, I hav< studiously avoided starting any argu ment with him, however much mioht differ with his views on an: subject at any time. 2. I have as much appreciation o the soldier as any man, having bee* one myself in a humble way ibeforreaching my 16th year until the clos; of the Confederate war. 3. I appreciate the SittfatiOn of anj mon Ty-Vl r> Vioc. o ?fin in ITVanpo1 hilt i X11UU TT 11U llO'O a- All JL 4M.14WV, uui/ I had a dozen sons there I could not nor can anyone else, change the lav laid down by the Judge of all th< earth that every man must answer fO] himself for his own deeds, and canno be justified or condemned 'by th< merits or the demerits of another. I the "race' were by twos and two the judgment would be by twos ant ' twos also; but it is not, and never cai be. This ibeing true does not hinde | any one, whether he has a son i: ; 'France or not, from doing all. he cai for the soldiers, individually and col looti-troW onH fn-r fhp r?Onntrv th<v are fighting for. j 4. If it is any satisfaction to Co' | Aull?or even if it is not, I will sa; U anyhow?I have a very high regar for his con in France, whom I hav I known since he was a child. He ha i always been a good boy, and, as ; young man, both before and since hi ; enlistment in the army, at the firs call for volunteers, has been the sot of man a father has a ri?-ht to ib proud of?a worthy descendant of hi grandfather, Capt. .Jno. M. Kinan who, on the battlefield of Strasibur* Virginia, on the 13th day of Octobe; 3884, at the^ aire of 31, laid down tii life for his country. And I shall ad this also?that with such a son, Co Aull need not -be surprised that ther are persons who wonder why he ca ?ur>port for the United States senat a man who, whatever may be hi mfi-ritc ny rJpmoritc: hoc ovon cinr the United States has heen in the wa with Germany, publicly on the stum denounced *he nresident and th members of congress?almost th entire hortv?who voted for war, an has declared if he had his way h would put them all out of office; an' who, only .a few weeks ago. challeng ed the authorities in Washington t send down a nian or men who wouL meet him on the stumr? and debat with him the question whether thi | war is justifiable. j T do riot bother about men's pojitica preferences; Col. Aull can suppor ; whomsoever he pleases and expres ' anv views about the war he please? i Tha+ is his right; but he has -no righ ; to misrepresent me and poison th ! public mind against me, as he appear: : to have don^ in the two very impor tant particulars mentioned?and per naps in otners not mentioned.

CLEVERNESS OF POLAR BEAR ! : ! e ;S Almost Impossible to Catch the j ' | mal in Any Sort of Trap That ' Can Be Devised. r.| I r> | According to the stories told by arc- j s tic* explorers and whalers, polar bears i 3 ?like many other animals of the far j i j North that have a hard time finding j ^ food?show an unusual reasoning fac- j ulty, says People's Home Journal R j A whaler tells of planning to cap- ' e ture a polar bear by means of a slip s noose arranged about a bait. The*; e noose caught one of the bear's claws, ? but the animal worked itself loose and ' cprricd away the bait. The sailor set; ^ 1 rhe noose again, but this time the bear j ~ pushed the rope away before ventur- j 0 ing near the bait.

The fourth time the sailor ' A iAm ^ i JJUt II'tr ill mc uonuui n. i.v.v . ? . ry * j the bear would have to crawl partly j ^ j into it.

Then the sailor : " I gave up. s Another story tells of a polar bear's ! cleverness in catching a seal. The j t seal had climbed through a hole in the ! e [ ice, but was keeping near the edg-s i& J s I order to be able to plunge in at the j I approach of danger. The bear saw the j seal from a distance and knew that ' ! there was no chance to steal across the i ice and attack its prey. Accordingly I the bear entered the water through aa | other hole a considerable - distance ' j away, swam under the ice to the hole ' ; thi-ough which the seal had emerged e i and seized the luckless animal, which f! naturaily was taken entirely by surprise. _____ PARTNERSHIP THAT WAS EViL Disastrous Results to the World Foliowed the Close Linking of Diplonacy and Trade. Familiar enough throughout the Orient were the disillusioned drummers, cursing the heat in Kipling's fiction. dipping their brandy-pegs and waith.. cor the local raja to liquidate his bills. The last important figur in this stage of the relation of the western trade to eastern potentates was that nonentity Abdul Aziz of Morocco ?important, because diplomacy and trade at last faced the logical end of their evil partnership. Once, it is said, he met a camel caravan bearing his most recent consignment of pianos through the desert. The sultan ordered a grand to be set up in the sands, struck a few notes and galloped away on his caparisoned Barb. The Steinroov rcti-ininar! a Inndmnrk for eara vans until the Arab overcame his superstition and broke it up for firewood. All of which was romance of a kind that inspired musical comedies, revolving around the glorified drummer as the po^'er behind the throne, and his fabulous contracts. P,ut there were rewards more epochal than picturesque as a result of this effort to hustle the east. In Asia the story became familiar enough. It soon found an uglier sequel in Africa., The treasure trove of Aladdin was exhausted in the scrambles for concessions; the following trade soon outstripped i r: and the rest is merely the "haut politique-' that culminated in the world wr.r.?
