THIS "ANGEL" WAS A KITE
Cut Superstitious Railroad Man Who
, Shot It Down Wa-Certainly
Scared for a Time.
,"Tho shooting," Fays n Texas man,
"occurred: j?orae years ago' on tho Pnn
humjie branch of the Santa. Fc, and
the hero of" the tale was" a, superstitious
engineer who believed In 'warnings.'
c"One night he was rolling along nt
a good speed, when he naw a clear,
white light, Hike n wlll-o'-the-wlsp,
dancing over the trncli a few hundred
feet In front. lie shut oft steam and
came to n stop as quickly as he could.
The conductor and train crow ennio
running tip to the engine to see what
was the matter,
"'There Is some one swinging a Ian
tern across the track,' said the engi
neer, and the crew went ahead to In
vestigate. "'We can't find anyone reported
the renr brnkeninn, and tho engineer
pulled out again, but he went slowly
nnd In a few minutes stopped again.
The crew went abend once more to
see what was the cause of the light.
The conductor, who was a good shot,
drew bis revolver, and nt his second
shot there was a crush, a scream, and
the light went out, nnd something
white came fluttering down from the
clouds.
"The engineer was Mimed. 'You've
shot an angel, sure,' be snld to the
conductor, with a fnce nn pnle as
death.
""Investigation brought out the fact
that n small boy, with a Inntern tied
to the tnll of a kite, was the cause of
the trouble; but for a long time It
tensed the engineer to be asked about
'shooting angels.' "

ANCIENT HACKS PLAYED baLl
Totting the Sphere Is Supposed to
Have Had Deep Symbolic Mean
ing Centuries Ago.
Although It Is a proven fact thnt
the game now designated baseball Is
of modern nnd purely Amerlcnn origin,
the use of n ball In ceremonies and
games goes hack many centuries.
Four thousand years ago, In the
twelfth Kgyptlau dynasty, u Coptic
artist sculptured on the temple Itenl
Hassan, human ligures throwing nnd
catching bulls. A leather-covered bull
used in games played on the Nile over
10 centuries ago, has a place among
the many archeologlcal specimens In
the Itrltish museum. It tins n sewed
cover nnd Is In u remcrknble st.ite of
preservation.
The game of ball was prized by the
Greeks ns giving grace and elasticity
to the human figure, and they erected
n statue to one Arlstonlcus for his
proficiency in It. Ancient medical
practitioners were wont to prescribe
a course of ball playing, where the
modern doctor would order a diet of
pills.
It Is supposed that ball tossing hud
a deep symbolic meaning when pln.wd
In the spring of the year; and that
the tossing of the ball was intended
llrst to typify the upsprlnglng of the
life of nature after the gloom of win
ter. And, whether tills was the case
among the people of antliiilty or not.
It Is a remarkable fact that the ec
clesiastics of the early church adopted
this symbol and gave It a very special
significance by meeting on Faster day
nnd throwing n ball from hand to
hand, to typify the Insurrection.
"TOTEM POLES" TELL STORY
Are Historical Records, and Not, as
Many Supposed, Idols to Be
Worshiped.
An art In sculpture not resembling
uny other art In the woild, unless pos
sibly that of ancient Mexico, Is found
highly developed umong the unoriginal
uatlu's of the northwest const.
Their iputerlal Is alwavs wood, and
Is furnished by huge trees from the
forest, which nre carved Into the
most fantastic shapes. In this style
are sculptured tin; so-called "totem
poles," which, often of great size anil
height, astonish the observer by the
Intricacy of their workmanship and
the weird Imaginativeness of their
complex designs.
Eurly missionaries In that part of
the world mistook the totem poles for
Idols. As ai matter of fact,', they pos
sess no such significance, being merely
heraldic columns. Kiich tribal clan
has Its own traditions and myths,
which tnkes the place of history, and
tliesw are symbolized hy the extraor
dinary birds and other animals, some
times human faces or figures, carved
on tho totem poles.
Thus the Wear clan will have Its
heraldic column topped by the sculp
tured figure of n bear. The raven
shows up conspicuously ns the totem,
or crest, of the Raven elan ; the whale
for the Whale clan, and so on.
To the unversed a totem pole would
bnve no significance beyond Its queer-
,-ness, but It Is In reality a whole story
carveu in wood.
Power of Poise.
Poise Is power. The man who is
not master of himself under nil conuM
tlons cannot feel the assurance, the
power, which Is the right of eery hu
man being to experience. He Is never
sure of himself, and the man who Is
never sure of himself Ik never wholly
at vase. He Is not even well-bred, for
good breeding Implies self-control wi
lder all circumstances.
There Is, perhaps, uo other thing
which Is so conducive to one's physical
and mental comfort, ulllclcney. happi
ness and success as u calm mind. When
the. mind Is unbuluuced, by auger, ex
citement, worry, fear or nervousness,
tli entire body Is thrown out of har
mony. All the functions are deranged ;
the man or woman Ih not unrmitl, and
Is, therefore, whatever, the situation,
at u complete disadvantage, wholly un
uble to contend with It. Orison Swetl
Murden In the New Success Magazine
Elevator Rope In Coat Mines.
One of the most Impressive things
uliout u colliery, to an outsider, Is the
mammoth drum which winds the rope
which brings coal up from On- pit. TbW
monster drum may measure KM feet
In circumference, and weigh about "00
tons, and It will wind In the rope with
Its load at a speed of nearly OO'mllcs
an hour. There are miles of the rope,
when the pit Is u deep one, like the
Yorkshire Main colliery's, whose ver
tical shaft holds tho record for depth
by going down nearly 1,000 yards, and
for long distances horizontally. The
rope costs $10 n yard and Its mavlmuin
life Is three und one-hulf yours. Kxery
Inch of It passes each day through a
mun's hands for examination. Shaft
uceldeuts ure very rare.
Strange Ltaset.

Desirable Condition That Qrsatly De-
pends on One's Habits of Mind
r Formed In Youth.
The most Inevitable and one of thn
oiPle-vl of the things we do Is to prow
ild. Vet what a difference there Is In
the way different people do It I
You probably know, for Instance,
fome little old lady who, although she
may not lie beautiful or brilliant, Is
Just "nice" which Is apt to mean
tint t Instead of bossing or scolding, she
tries not to' be troublesome or unrea
sonable to those around her. Or rath
cM she does not have to try, for It Is
characteristic of elderly huniiiu beings
that they seldom try very hurd to form
new habits. Youth Is the period of
endeavor, and old age of results. This
is the reason for the futility of young
folks' dlsplensure at their parents'
"old-fashioned" Idcns.y Such Ideas are
Used; they will riot chnnge.
Yet not nil elderly people nre age
hound In their thoughts; many enn be
tolerant of Innovations, and a few can
even adopt them. Such a tlcxlble con
dition of the elderly mind Is, like the
rigid, Intolerant sort, it product of
earlier life and habits; it Is not likely
to Indlcato any particular good or
evil trait it) the person possessing it.
If the young man or woman who
feels Impatient at the old folks' no
tions will cease to shrug it shoulder
and exelalin: "I hope I'm not like
that when I'm old." nnd will turn bis
attention to the younger generation,
starling with lilmseir, be Is likely to
do much more for human progress.
When he himself has reached tlj age
of fixed ideas his character will de
pend on bis previous habits of mind;
If be has kept himself free front prej
udice and cocksuredness and has been
always willing to learn better ways of
thinking and doing, he will be likely
to remain correspondingly more ration
al with advancing years, and will, "In

COMMUNAL SPIRIT IN JAPAN
Writer Notes the Fact That Natives
Share Their Sneezes With Stranjj-
ers on Street Cars.
Japanese do thlnss In public for
which we would ostracize n man or
send him to the lockup. Front their
commtiual spirit which tolerates bnth
Ini: lu public together they go to the
other extreme of coming out on their
balconies and clearing their throats
at live o'clock In the morning nnd ex
pectorating Into the open gutfers be
low. They will hold their fans before
their mouths when talking or yawning,
as do we, but will cough and sneeze
In your face on street cars. And yet.
anions the refined, observance of cus
tom Is pathetically beautiful. They
come to celebrate the arrival of the
cherry blossoms by bringing with them
their geisha and their children ; they
move lu perfect hordes; they go to the
station In masses to see off some
friend or relative and crowd the plat
forms, bowing and bowing and bowing
again as though there weren't a thou
sand strangers passing before them;
they. dress, undress, ent, sleep nnd
drink whisky by the tumblerful on the
trains yet their Inner lives are as se
cret to one nnother as they Fcem to
be to the foreigner.
It is as though from behind the
scenes In which many people are
more Interested than In the play It
self the actors had come, forgetting.
In a moment of absent-mindedness, to
pur on their make-up, or had come
upon the street, forgetting to take It
off. Sydney Credible, In "Japan, Ileal
and Imaginary."
Moral Forces.
Above all It Is ever to be kept In
mind that not by material but by
moral force are men and their ac
tions governed. How noiseless Is
thought! No rolling of drums, no'
tramp of squndrons, or Immeasurable
tumult of bnggage wagons, attends
Ihe movement. In what obscure and
sequestered places may the bead be
meditating which Is one day to be
crowned with more than Imperial au
thority; for kings nnd emperors will
be among Its ministering servants; It
will rule not over but In their heads,
and with those Its solitary combina
tions of idens, as with magic formu
las, bend the world to Its will. Thi
time may come when Nnpoleon him
self will be better known for his laws
than for his battles; and the victory
of Waterloo prove less momentous

Sought El Dorado In Vain.
When Sir Walter Italelgh started out
to find his Kl Dorado he was seeking a
fabled city whose houses were covered
with sheets of pure gold, und which
was surrounded by hundreds of square
miles of rock so filled with surface
gotl that when the sun shone It was as
If n great yellow mirror was blazing as
far as the dazzled eyes could reach.
Italeluh, of course, found nothing that
even came nenr to such n wonder, and
many a brave gentleman of England
lnt bis life or his fortune In seeklug
the same fnbled El Dorado.
