I love thy rocks and rills
Thy woods and templed hills
were intended for New England and
that for California must be added the
following lines
I love thy inland seas
Thy capes and giant trees
Thy rolling plains
Thy canyons wild and deep
Thy prairies boundless sweep
Thy roclis and mountains steep
Thy fertile mains
I love thy silver strands
Thy Golden Gate that stands
Afront the west
Thy sweep and crystal air
Thy sunlight everywhere

tiary Mr Green
was tried on cer
tain of the charges
against him last
winter and acquit

Four years ago
Mr Green was an
officer in about
twenty mining rail
road and manufac

He had the reputation of being a very
energetic aggressive and prosperous
citizen He was born forty eight years
ago In one of the few log cabins then

through his own efforts from poverty
and obscurity to wealth He was three
times mayor of Binghamton was twice
elected to the state senate and was
talked of for the governorship when
his upward career was suddenly check
ed by the charges against him in con
nection with the postal scandals
Mr Green has been a great money
spender as well as money maker Onn
of his hobbles was writing telegrams
which he wrote the same as other peo
ple write letters One night he went
Into a telegraph office with a telegram
several yards long written on sheets
of paper pasted together into a long
string but that telegram was the
means of closing a deal for the sale of
over 100000 tons of coal to the Cana

Senator Shelby M Culloin of Illinois
who served as a member of the con
ference committee on the rate bill Is
one of the veterans of congress and
is said to resemble Abraham Lincoln
Ten years since the likeness was more
marked however It was about that
long ago that a Washington corre
spondent at a dinner where he sat
next to the Illinois statesman made an
allusion to his resemblance to the sign
er of the emanci
SHELBY 3T CDXIOM
pation proclamation
and drew the sena
tor out on the sub
ject of his long and
Intimate friendship
with Lincoln In
the course of his
remarks Mr Cul
Iom referred to the
fact that he was
one of the members
of the house of rep
resentatives who
brought out Blaine
for speaker I had
noted Blaine on the floor of the house
said Mr Cullom for his fine power of
compressing a statement He could
boil it up or down and give It to you
In a speech which covered the whole
case President Lincoln called my at
tention to Blaine while he was presi
den Somebody had exasperated
Blaine and he had replied to him Lin
coln said to me There is a young fellow
up there from Maine by the name of
Blaine who has plenty of ability and 1
think is going to cut a big figure in
this country I do not now recollect
what speech Mr Lincoln referred to
but in assisting to elect Blaine I felt
that he was praised by Lincoln
Representative nardwick from Geor
gia was recently traveling in a Pull

man in the house The presence of a
negro gave him great concern and aft
er the negro had gone into the dining
car and eaten his dinner sitting near
the Georgian the Georgia member went
to the conductor and asked that the ne
gro be put out of the car
We cant do that sir the conduct
or answered
Well if that fresh darky gets near
me Im going to Avipe up the car with
him declared the Georgian I wont
have him around me
Everything went along peaceably

Senator Albert J Beveridge of Indi

ness takes quite a conspicuous part
In the proceedings of the senate For
several years he has been leading the
fight to pass the statehood bill and
now he is in the limelight as the man
who introduced the bill providing for
rigid inspection of meats and cattle
and had the measure put in the agri

A Good Doc
It In related by Professor Bell that
when a friend of his was traveling
abroad he one morning took out his
purse to see If It contained sufficient
change for a days jaunt he Intended
making ne departed from his lodg
ings leaving a trusted dog behind
When he dined he took out his purse
to pay and found he had lo3t a gold
coin from It On returning home In
the evening his servant Informed him
that the dog seemed very 111 as they
could not Induce him to cat anything
He went at once to his favorite and as
soon as he entered the room the faith
ful creature ran to him deposited the
gold coin at his feet and then devoured
the food placed for him with great
eagerness The truth was that the
gentleman had dropped the coin In the
morning The dog had picked It up
and kept It In his mouth fearing even
to eat lest he should lose his masters
property before an opportunity was af
forded him to restore it Chambers

Orlprlu of Crescent Bread
The origin of the Viennese bread
shaped like a crescent which Is found
In most places on the continent dates
back to the time when the Austrian
capital was being besieged by the
Turks under the terrible Grand Vizier
Kara Mustapha and as they failed to
take the city by assault they decided
to dig a passage under the walls and
so penetrate into the town In the day
time the noise of the siege made the
sound of the tunneling inaudible and
at nighttime the defenders of the
place were asleep all but the sentries
and the bakers It was the bakers
who as they baked the bread for the
garrison heard the pickaxes of the
miners coming nearer and nearer and
gave the alarm In the fighting the
Bakers association took their share
with the utmost bravery and as a re
ward for tuelr services tne emperor
gave them permission to make a spe
cial cake shaped like the Turkish cres

Once a Xest of Plratca
Lundy In the Bristol channel Is an
Island where one may see an earth
quake at any time There is nothing
alarming about these earthquakes
however They are simply certain cu
rious crevasses in the west of the Is
land which the local people call by
that name Lundy In former centuries
was a notorious nest of pirates In
King Henry IIIs time William de
Marisco a traitor to the king built a
castle there and set up as an early
Captain Kidd And so it went on
through the centuries until In the mid
dle of the eighteenth Thomas Benson
a Barnstable merchant who was then
lessee of the island was convicted of
piracy and smuggling and expelled
He had a contract for carrying con
victs to the American colonies and
used quietly to land them on Lundy
and use their labor there
The Nine In the Calendar
The figure 0 which came into the
calendar on Jan 1 1889 will stay with
us 111 years from that date or until
Dec 31 1999 No other figure has ever
had such a long consecutive run and
the 9 Itself has only once before been
in a race which lasted over a century
that in which it continuously figured
from Jan 1 889 until Dec 31 999 a
period of 111 years The figures 3 and
7 occasionally fall into odd combina
tions but neither of them has ever yet
served for a longer period than 100
consecutive years in our calendar since
the present mode of calculating time
was established It is also clear that
from their relative positions among the
numerals It is an impossibility for
oither of them to appear in date reck
onings continuously for a longer period
than a century
Business Methods
Great numbers of vast fortunes In
this country have been and are being
built up on the very ignorance of the
masses in regard to business methods
The schemers bank on it that it is
easy to swindle people who do not
know how to protect their property
They thrive on the ignorance of their
fellows They know that a shrewd ad
vertisement a cunningly worded cir
cular a hypnotic appeal will bring
the hard earnings of these unsuspect
ing people out of hiding places into
their own coffers Success Magazine
Slovenliness In Speech
Do not drift into careless habits of
speech Slang which is slovenliness in
speech is as contemptible as slovenli
ness In dress Many people use slang
because they are too lazy to think of
proper forms for the expression of
thought The clothing of our minds
certainly ought to be regarded before
that of our bodies

I had expected there would be a
great splurge at Miss Fawtyfores wed

quietly
Oh yes The young man submitted
