called the Democratic party
I have watched it closely

called party Therefore be
ware of this party of treason
Grigsbys heirs did not want this in

family had to agree But the inscrip

A VISION ON THE VELDT
Con-
fronted the Soldier
I thought I saw a form of some kind
between the bowlders I jumped to
the conclusion that it was a soldier In
one second it had vanished I chal
lenged but got no answer Those
pieces of rock seemed to terrify me
I advanced toward them but saw
nothing I retired back and took ur
my position leaning on my rifle My
eyes -went again to the same place and
there standing between the two bowl
ders was the outline of a woman I
brought my rifle to the present cover
int the form which stood before me
I saw her walk from one piece of rock
to the other
I watched and saw her repeat her ac
tion She then stopped and leaned up
against one ef the bowlders with her
back toward me I again advanced
to where she stood When I had not to
within forty or fifty yards of her I
saw her turn ronnd and look straight
at me with a careworn and sorrowful
face
Then 1 saw and knew who she was
It was my own mother I was not mis
taken for she walked within a few
yards of me at the same time looking
me dead in the face She then turned
about and walked to the two pieces of
rock and I saw no more of her About
three weeks after I received a lettei
from home telling me of her death anc
burial A Grenadiers South Africar
Reminiscence in Occult Review
Gambling For Maids
Many queer reasons are advanced
by servant jrirls for losing a place
said the manager of the employment
bureau but the queerest I have ever
heard was given by a girl who blew
in here last week Iler late mistress
was a bridge fiend One day for the
want of money to bet she and her
friends played with their maids foi
stakes At the end of the game each
woman considered herself in houoi
bound to stick to her agreement and
an attempt was really made to swap
servants according to the ups and
downs of the game Some of the girls
thus raffled off changed places willing
ly enough but that client of mine re
fused to be swapped and hustled

Rough on His Lordship
A carpenter in an English town hav
ing neglected to make a gibbet that
had been ordered by the hangman on
the ground that he had not been paid
for the last one he had erected gave so
much offense that the next time the
judge came to the circuit he was sent
for
Fellow said the judge in a stern
tone how came you to neglect mak
ing the gibbet that was ordered on my
account
I humbly beg your pardon replied
the carpenter Had I known it was
for your lordship it would have been
done immediately
The Wave of Indulgence
Indulgence nowadays is very much
exaggerated We have even come to
admire clever thieves and as lone as
we are not the victims of the theft we
are quite enthusiastic for the rogue
who shows great cunning and daring
in his crimes He is almost a hero in
our eyes and we call him a genius

THE HAUGHTY TURK
High Handed Diplomatic Methods of
the Seventeenth Century
Indignities to which foreign envoys
were formerly subjected in China were
mild in comparison with those occa
sionally meted out to them in Constan
tinople M Julian Klaczks in his
Etude de Diplomatic Contemporaine
relates that in 1G73 the grand vizier
having intercepted some French dis
patches tried to force Del la Haye
first secretary to the French embassy
and son of the ambassador to give
him the cipher of the embassy The
young diplomat Indignantly refused
and was in consequence bastinadoed
struck in the face with such force that
his teeth were broken and he was
thrown into prison No attempt was
made by Louis XIV to obtain redress
for the wrongs inflicted on his repre
sentative
Until the beginning of the eighteenth
century Christian envoys to the porte
were forbidden to visit one another or
even to confer with one another on
neutral ground They were not al
lowed to drive in public with their
wives and at one time it was pro
posed to prevent them from import
wine for their own consumption
compromise was effected on this poi-
on the understanding that the accurs
ed liquor was to be conveyed from the
harbor to the embassies at night and
In great secrecy
The Order of the Seraphim
The Order of the Seraphim is the
oldest and most famous of the decora
tions in the gift of the king of Sweden
Originally it was instituted by Magnus
IV some GOO years ago to commemo
rate the siege of Upsala the ancient
capital of the Swedish kings and its
statutes bound the recipients of the
order to fight to the death for the main
tenance of their religion and to consti
tute themselves the special protectors
of the widow and the fatherless
When it was revived about the middle
of the eighteenth century by King
Frederick the obligations laid upon the
members were somewhat less onerous
The decoration consists of an eight
pointed star in white enamel with cher
ubs heads of gold and is worn on a
broad band of pale blue ribbon Eos

Out in China all things arcnottopsy turvyl
Physicians are paid for keeping people well and

man not by the number of years he lives but by
the length of time his clients survive
An advertising medium must be judged in
the same way The fact that it has age to its
credit isnt so important as the age of its adver
tising patronage Whenever a newspaper con
tinues to display the store talk of the same es
tablishment year after year its a pretty sure
sign that the merchant has made money out of
that newspaper because no publication can
continue to be a losing investment to its cus
tomers over a stretch of time without the fact
being discovered And when a newspaper is
able to boast of an honor roll of stores
that have continued to appear in its pages for
a stretch of decades it has proven its superiority
as plainly as a mountain peak which rises
above its fellows
The combination of staoiliiy and progress 13
the strongest virtue that a newspaper can pos
sess Only theft survive reputation is a difficult
thing to get and a harder thin to hold it takes
merit to earn it and character to maintain it
There is a vast difference between fame and
notoriety and just as much difference between
a j amous -newspaper and a notorious luc
Just as a manufacturer is always to
install his choicest stocks in a store which
earned the respect of the community yc
retailer should be anxious to insert his name in
a newspaper which has earned tne respect of its
readers The manufacturer feels that he will
receive a square deal from a store which has
