izens of the deep, who strike at it, but
catch hooks instead It is incased in a
glass tube through which the water
circulates freely. The application is
new but the idea of carrying bait in a
bottle is as old as angling is. There is
one improvement to be uoteo however,
as under the old plan the bait was sure
to give out sooner or later, depending
on the size of t lie bottle and the ardor

'Iid you ever hear how General
Jeff. Thompson once evaded an order
in the Held and didn't fret caught at
It?" asked an old Missuurian of a St
Louis Itepublir man. '-It happened,
I think, in the t-unnuerof 1HG1, tne
year when Gen. l'ri e and fien. A. J.
Smith were chasing each other up
and down the State. f!cn. Thompson,
with a section of Price's army, swept
across the central Missouri prairies,
and on one hot. August day the citi
zens of Sedaliasaw his men approach
ing the town in a ierfect cloud of
dust
"Sedalia was garrisoned by a body
Df Home Guards under the command
jt Colonel William Bloss and Major
William Gentry, and so, when ths
alarm bell sounded, the little band
hurried to the trenches and prepared
for defense Thompson saw the
handful of citizens and unlimbered
his guns. An apparently lleree can
nonade was kept up for half an hour,
during which t'me one man was
Killed, and then the Home Guards
capitulated and Thompson rode into
town. I remember the terrible time
he had that day endeavorir.g to con
trol his rough riders, who seemed
bent on making everything contra
band, but he Anally made them un
derstand his imperative orders and
quiet was soon restored, but not
until every citizen of lighting age
had been placed under arre-t and
guard.
'Well, it leaked out before night
that Thompson had orders to burn
the railroad depot. It was a great
wooden structure, against which a
large number of the store buildings
backed, and to burn the depot was to
burn the town. The General was a
fipectacular soldier as well as a brave
tighter and his picturesque dress
showed him to be somewhat of a gal
lant knight. Hence the ladies ot Se
dalia banded themselves together to
the number of lift,,' and waited upon
him with a prayer not to destroy the
depot and the town. He treated the
delegation with conspicuous courtesy,
and finally told the ladies that a
soldier must obey orders, but he felt
free to notify them that he would set
Hre to the depot at 5 o'clock on the
following morning, and he hinted to
them that if the old barn happened
to be green and didn't burn up the
fault would be theirs. They took
thc hint. Promptly at " o'clock a
bucket brigade of ladies was In line
at the depot The soldiers started
the fire, the General gave his orders
for the army to move on, and the
ladies waited until the commander
had disappeared and then promptly
extinguished the flames amid the joy
ous shouts of the soldiers,"
Thackeray's l't ol American Money.
Thackeray at that time (1851), was
.inly beginning to earn large sums by
liis writings, and he was no longer in
those straitened circumstances which,
with such inimitable humor he
alluded to in "The Carmen Lilliense,"
in which he tells how "Titmarsh was
in pawn at Lille," and how he was
rescued from the duresse of a sus
picious landlord by a "10-pound note
from grand mamma?" But it was
not until he visited the Unitea States
Dti a lecturing tour that he became
really affluent I rememberat a New
Kngland Society dinner once, held at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, 'ew York,
Hitting next to the most amiable and
popular American divine, the Rev.
Dr. Bellows, who had been one of
Thackeray's most intimate friends
during his stay in America, and had
even, If I remember aright, given
him the use of his church as a lecture
room. He described to me the al
most boyish delight with which
Thackeray told him on his return
from New Orleans of the great finan
cial success with which he had met
in the States. "Parson," these were
his words repeated to me by Dr. Bel
lows, "it's come at last. I have made
a pot of money." And if a man de
served to win a crock of gold, William
Makepeace Thackeray was the man
In question.
The Arizona Deserts.
The processor reclaiming the Ari
zona desert goes on apace. During
recent years many Irrigation projects
have been put on a working basis and
districts va.yingfromafew thousands
to hundreds of thousands of acres ate
Icing rapidly brought into agricul
tural., and horticultural use. The
greatest project of this character yet
undertaken was practically bc-jun a
few days ago and plans for one still
greater are announced. For the first
contracts have been placed involving
an expenditure of more than $2,000,
000 for the construction of reservoirs
and canals to utilize water from the
Gila River in reclaiming 300, 000 acres
of land, which will be first-class fruit
and vine land. The dam will be one
of the largest in the country and
seventy-two miles of canals are to be
constructed. The second project
contemplates the reclamation of 400,
000 acres of now arid land, with
water taken from the Rio Verde,
stored in three immense reservoirs,
and distributed bv 150 miles of canals.
The land and the canal routes have

of putting him to death, unless a

An Incorrigible.
A man came one day to tlie late earl
of Shaftsbury, a philanthropist, al
though a nobleman, bringing a note
from the governor of Manchester jail,
saying that the bearer was incorrigible,
and had spent twenty years in prison.
Shaftsbury talked kindly to the fellow
and then said:
"John Spiers, shall I make a man of
you?,'
"Yer can try, but yer can't do it,"
was the discouraging reply.
Finally he agreed to enter a reform
atory where the discipline was strict,
but kind.
After a few days the earl called and
said:
"Well" John Spiers, shall we go on?"
'Yes," replied he, but you've tackled
a tough job."
"By God's help I'll go on, and I'll
succeed to," responded the earl. At
the end of two years this man was met
by a friend of Shaftsbury. He was
well-clad, healthy and held a good po
i Ion in London.
"Ah," said he, "it was the earl's kind
words did it. That was a new way. I
never had a kind word or a loving look
, iven me in my life before, or I might
have acted very differently."
What a testimony! What a salva
tion! About Ancestors.
William S. Walsh writes in the New
York World: A family like a race or
nation, does indeed bud flower, and run
to seed, and the seed must be trans
planted to new soli in order to but and
(lower again. Now, a part of the fool
ish ancestor worship of the past re
sulted in the creation of aristocracies
built on the foundation of an illustri
ous ancestor. We are getting wiser
and better. We are putting our
aristocracies closer to the primal source.
We are learning no longer to respect a
man because his ancestor was better
than himself, but because he himself,
is an ancestor. The farce of royalty is
played out; the farce of rank and caste
is in a moribund condition. All men
will soon learn to laugh at the claims
of long descent. Many men laugh at
them now. And this in itself is an im
mense step in advance.
Snobbery, vulgarity, pretension'
tltese hideous traits will soon be of the
past Our gandchildren freed from the
absurd ideas, the absurd restriction of
semi-savage inception, will be larger,
more generous, more tolerant better,
iu short, than ourselves. Fresh and
vigorous blood will intermix with the
worn-out descendants of great men,
and in due time greater men from the
stock will be born to the future. Every
succeeding age sees the abandonment
of some superstition which has checked
the piogress and developmept of the
race in the past.

Why Married womesi Were Admitted.
An ancient legend tells us that the
angel on guard at the door of heaven
was once asked by an inquisitive passer
if more married or single women
passed through.
"More married ones," he promptly
answered.
"Indeed," said the questioner, who
was a man, and who immediately be
gan to plume himself. "Their hus
band's virtues, of course, admitted
them. That was right. The stronger
should aid the weaker."
"Xo." replied the angeL "that is not
the reason."
'Then what is it?"
"AVell, if you must know," said the
angel confidentially, "we pass them
first on their own merits; lots of 'em
get through that way. Then when we
can't find any other recommendation
for a married women, it is written
against her name. "These are they
which have come out to great tribula
