A RUSSIAN PRISONER
Experience of 3 Mar Who Was Chain
ed to a Wheelbarrow
In wrltting of i tie Sehluesselburg
prison in McClures Magazine David
Sosicice lulls of a prisoner who was
chained lo a wheelbarrow
Schedrin had been eonduiniied to
hard labor in the convict mines of Si
beria and for an attempt to use ape
from there had been sentenced to be
chained lo a heavy wheelbarrow
When the order came for his transfer
from Siberia to St Petersburg no con
veyance could be found large enough
to contain him the wheelbarrow and
the convoy ot gendarmes Yet as the
wheelbarrow had become a part ot
the prisoner the gendarmes were
afraid to leave it behind It was there
fore decided to place Schedrin with his
convoy in one cart and the wheelbar
row behind in another several
months day and night Schedrin and
the gendarmes galloped through Si
beria upon a troika a three horsed
cart or sledgei while another sped be
hind them upon which the wheelbar
n reposed causing the deepest
umnycmcut among the peasants in the
villages through which they passed
Upon the arrival of the prisoner In SS
Peter and Paul he was once again
chained to the barrow and only after
he had been six weeks in the Schlues
selburg was he finally detached from
it and given freedom of movement
within the narrow confines of his cell
When they unchained me said
Schedrin subsequently I could not get
enough movement I wanted to run
and run and it seemed to me that 1
could never stop How strange it is
that men who can enjoy perfect free
dom of movement never realize the
-wonderful happiness that is theirs
HENRY CAVENDISH
A Reduce He Lived Far From the
Madding Crowd
Henry Cavendish the famous natural
philosopher and chemist was a recluse
who astonished England
A son of Lord Charles Cavendish
and a nephew of the third Duke of
Devonshire possessed of enormous
wealth the subject of universal ad
miration because of his scientific at
tainments he preferred the solitude
of his study and the company of his
books to the pleasures society could
offer him
For many years he lived at Ilamp
stead in a large roomy house attended
by a number of female servants who
however were strictly enjoined to keep
out of his sight If a domestic by the
merest chance came into the presence
of Cavendish she was instantly dis
missed
Every morning the philosopher would
leave a note on the hall table naming
what he wanted for dinner No one
saw him place the note there but ac
customed to the strange customs of
the establishment the meal would be
prepared and only the remains of the
repast signified the presence of the
master of the house
When Cavendish died in 1S10 he left
behind him nearly a million pounds
sterling besides a lasting reputation as
a scientist and writer on natural phi

Chrysanthemums
Chrysanthemums stand fourth in
commercial importance among flowers
Only the rose the violet and the car
nation surpass them and that chiefly
because the chrysanthemum season is
so short while the others can be had
from the florist nearly the whole year
round Greece gave us the name
Chrysanthemum means golden flow
er But the name was invented long
before the big butter yellow globes
were known in the Occident It re
ferred to the prevailing gold in the
small varieties that were known
Strangely enough the first chrysan
themum brought into Europe was not
gold but purple It was a small flow
er about two inches across shaped
like an aster Somebody took it to
Europe from China in 1790 and pres
to the modern history of chrysanthe

SCARED THE OLD SAVAGE
Ruse That Saved Dr Fclkin From
King Mtesa of Uganda
When the well known African trav
eler Dr Itobert FVlkin was staying
with the bloodthirsty King Mtei of
Uganda many years ago I he king nil
of gratitude for his visitors medical
treatment wished to eul off his hcd
On Dr Fclkin representing that iic
treatment was not finished and that it
interrupted It would cause Mtesi s
death the latter granted him a re
prieve until he was quite recovered
Then however nothing availed and
the execution was determined upon
Emin Pasha who was a friend of
Dr Fclkin had instructed him most
accurately about the state of affairs in
Uganda and the court of King Mtesa
and had revealed to him an important
state secret namely where Mtesas
powder store was hidden Dr Fekin
remembered this at the right moment
and as a last resort threatened that if
Mtesa killed him he would bringdown
a Hash of lightning upon his powder
store Mtesa replied incredulously
-Tell me where it is whereupon Dr
Felkin whispered in his ear It is
concealed under your harem
Mtesa turned pale and allowed Fel
kin and his companions to live The
lightning makers authority increas
ed when next day a flash of lightning
happened to strike near the harem
Fooled the Town
University students have long enjo

there has been nothing quite so sue
cessful as the famous sultan of Zan

bridge One day the mayor of the
town received the following wire from
one Henry Lucas Hotel Cecil London
The sultan of Zanzibar will arrive a
Cambridge at 427 for a short visit
Could you arrange to show him build
ings of interest and send carriage V
The mayor rose to the occasion and
in due course four dark complexione1
gentlemen with turbans and volum
nous trousers arrived at Cambridge
The mayor aud corporation entertain
ed them right royally but to theii
chagrin they discovered a few hours
later that the interesting orientals
were simply a quartet of undergrad
uates who had played au immense
practical joke upon the town London

The Seat of Punctuation
At the time Colonel Roosevelt was
carrying on his simplified spelling
movement in Washington there was a
meeting of educators at Pattle Creek
Mich and they visited the great san

through and particular stress was laid
by the guide on the success that at
tended operations there on enlarged
and diseased colons it being claimed
that here was the seat of most dis
ease There was a banquet that night
and one of the visitors opened his
speech like this
Washington as we all know is the
seat of spelling reform but I take it
Battle Creek is bound to be the seat
of punctuation reform for as we were
told today you come here with a colon
and you depart with a semicolou

Wherever men are seen turning to

The people are awakening to the

If it be true as the brewers say that
more liquor is sold in Lincoln than be
fore the town went dry why are tLoy
planning to spend 50000 to bring the
saloons bick to Lincoln This is a
riddle
The brewers and distillers are sud
denly very muchinterested in the morhl
and linancial welfaro of the people so
they say Their saying it means noth
