For many years there have been ru mors of the existence of such a cav ern. but. owing to the difficulty of crossing the river and exploring the region, all efforts to find it proved un availing. A recent letter to Guy T. Hardy from G. A. Anderson of Portland. Ore., gave a description of the cave and its location. Following the description the party crossed the rive*- near the gorge station one mile east of the hanging bridge, and found the entrance to the cavern in a ravine about 500 feet above the river S27 Rats Caught in Rick.

Garrett Cited Charleston Ex ample As Instance of the South’s Former Haphazard Manner of Developing Railways. In the latter part of March of the year 1883 I spent a week or ten days In Charleston, South Carolina. On the second day after my arrival there was seated at my hotel dining room table a stranger, a new arrival, of about mid dle height and of powerful build, with an unusual depth of chest. The per fect balance and poise of his massive head upon his shoulders was especial ly noticeable. The outline of the head was round, rather than long. His face was broad; his mouth revealed great firmness, although there was In his smile a suggestion of gentleness and kindliness. His eyes, which were dark blue, were set far apart, and the breadth of his forehead indicated great Intellectual power. His hair was not plentiful, although he was not bald, and in his early manhood he must have been of sandy complexion. “Have you come from the north?" he asked; and when I replied that I had. he asked me if I came by the coast line. I saw that he was familiar with railroad matters, and disposed to talk of them, so I ventured to ask him how It happened that a city the size of Charleston, and a seaport at that, had no central railway station. The main station was then some two miles out side the city, and passengers were conveyed back and forth by means of & shuttle train “Well, that shuttle train furnishes one explanation of why the Confed eracy did not succeed." was the re ply. Then, noting, apparently that I was wondering how a shuttle railroad two miles long could have had any thing to do with the failure of the Confederacy, he continued, and his manner was that of a modest, kindly gentleman; “Do you know of any important city af the north, especially any seaport, that would have been content even in early railroad days with railroad com munication that required the use of a shuttle train? This little shuttle line personifies the haphazard manner in which industry and railway -develop ment in the south in the days before the war were universally carried on. a circumstance that Is easily explained by the fact that the south was then almost exclusively an agricultural region. So It came about, when the war broke out, that the Confederacy found itself with nothing more than makeshift means of communication at its command. There was not one rail road in the entire south that was worthy of the name when compared with the railroads of the north, and judged by the standards of today the northern reads of war times were poor, as a whole. Tet if there had been a railroad of northern standard running between Richmond and Lynchburg, for example. Lee could have transported his whole army by it from Richmond, after evacuation, to i Lynchburg, and It would bave taken a j iong time to dislodge him. once be 1 was in Lynchburg. He could bave I made a union there with Joe John 1 sten’s army, then in North Carolina; \ he could have given Grant a great deal i of trouble. But he had no good rail way service at his disposal, and he fell at Appomattox. So it was else where In the south—the southern com manders were greatly handicapped by lack of proper railroad facilities: they had to contend with such things as this shuttle railroad in Charleston; and so. I say. this shuttle service fur nishes one explanation of the fail of the Confederacy." It was clear to me that my table mate was a railway man of expert ence. and. my curiosity being aroused. I made inquiries at the hotel office concerning him "Oh.” said the clerk, "that Is John W. Garrett, president of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.” When next I was seated with my table companion I said: ^ "Mr. Garrett, until this afternoon 1 did no: dream that I had been talking with the creator and builder-up of the great Baltimore and Ohio railroad sys tem. If I had known it, I might have been a little embarrassed." "Well," replied Mr. Garrett smiling kindly, "it has always been my belief that when strangers who are upon their travels meet, it is a great deal better that they should not know any thing about one another, provided they are satisfied that they have some points of common interest. For in that way they can meet upon common ground." Perhaps it should be added that the railroad which Mr. Garrett headed for a quarter of a century from 185$ until his death In ISM. was of the greatest service to the United States govern ment during the Civil war in the transportation of troops and materials. And during the entire period of Mr. Garrett’s presidency he was without a superior in the world of railway transportation. I Copyright. 1S10. by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) . Hill’s High Idea of Ethics Why He Would Not Present Case Against the Income Tax Clause cf the Wilson Bill to Su preme Court. ' _ Now that David Bennett HUi. three times governor of and one term l United States senator from New York, has passed away. It is possible to narrate several incidents connected with his career that have both his toric importance and dramatic inter est. They have remained unchron i icled hitherto because of Governor | Hill's policy of complete silence in all things political relating to himself, a policy that one of the staunchest friends he ever had—Judge Alton -B Parker—declared recently caused much unnecessary criticism to be heaped upon Its author. In 1854 the house of representatives passed the tariff hill new historically known as the Wilson bill. It con tained a clause providing for the levy ing of an income tax without doing Small Boy and Noted Author Henry C. Robinson's Proud Memory of the Time When Charles Dick ens Spoke to Him in Hart ford, Conn. The late Henry C. Robinson of Hart ford. Conn., one of the leaders of the New England bar. Republican candi date for governor of Connecticut in 1876, and prominently identified for years with the New York. New Haven and Hartford railroad as counsel and director, was accustomed to say in the latter part of his life that the two in cidents of his career of which he was especially proud were these—he had been a member of the famous class of 185" at Yale, of which Andrew D. White, afterwards president of Cor nell university and minister to Ger many. was valedictorian, and be was one of the very few boys in the United States to whom Charles Dickens spoke on his first visit to America. “I am sure that at no other time during that visit did Dickens speak to any American boy as he spoke to me," Mr. Robinson told me. “What he said was not much, but it was Charles Dick ens who said it. and he said it to me. and that was enough. “I was between eleven and twelve years of age when Dickens came to Hartford in 1S42. He had been spend ing a day or two in Sprtngfie’d, Mass., and he insisted upon making the trip from Springfield to Hartford by the Uttle steamboat which at that time plied between the two cities upon the Connecticut river. He told his friends that he wanted to see the Connecticut, for it was one of the American rivers of which he had heard much. “We knew in Hartford the hour at which Dickens would arrive, and there was a great throng at the steamboat landing waiting to see him 1 w as not able to be there, for I was at school when he arrived. But I heard that he was staying at the Ctty hotel, which at that time was the leading hostelry In the city, and was located only three or four minutes' walk from the old state house. So, as soon as I was out of school. 1 went to the hotel, determined j to stand on the sidewalk in front of it until 1 had caught a glimpse of Charles Dickens “I think 1 must hare stood there about an hour—ft may have been a lit tle longer—when, looking up at one of the windows opening upon the room at the side of the main entrance of t£e hotel, 1 saw Charles Dickens standing there. I knew him instantly from the photographs 1 had seen of him. 1 was attracted by his peculiar waistcoat of very vivid color, frcm the pockets of which dangled a prodigious watch chain. He alternately tossed the chain in his hands and twined it around his fingers 1 also noticed his eyes, be cause they were very blue. After a while he put his hands into his pock ets. and stood looking across the street, not noticing me at first. He looked at me steadily for I do rot know how many minutes. 1 stared at him steadily in return. I remember that T thought: 'This is the man who told me about Sam Weller.' who was one of the great favorites of my bcy hood days "I wonder what Dickens thought of me! He certainly looked me through , and through. We must have been, in fact, a spectacle, the lad and the fam ous author staring at each other. “At last Dickens spoke, and the words have been treasured in my memory ever since. This is what he said, and I heard him distinctly, al though he spoke through the window: 'Go away, little boy. go away.' Then he waved his hand gently, smiled upon me. and with that benediction I de parted. “I did not see him again until 1867. when he made his second visit to America. He had changed greatly in physical appearance, excepting that his eyes retained that brilliant blue tint, the bluest eyes I ever saw.” • Copyright. 1910. by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) A Maine Tavern. The historic Colonial home of Ed ward R. Pierce, which was burned in Belfast March 7. was built in about 1805 by Colonel Thomas Cunnigham. who came to Belfast in 1803 from Petersboro, N. H. The house was known as the Sun Tavern. During the war of 1812 it was in its height of pop ! ularity. Many distinguished guests : were entertained, anil eminent judges , and officers of the supreme court of Massachusetts when traveling the eastern circuit were accustomed to j leave their carriages here and jour j ney to Castine by water. It is said that British officers were entertained there. It was also a popular place for social affairs, and many dances and assemblies were held there in by gone days. The house was painted a bright yellow, in keeping with Its name. Sun Tavern, and at one time when the landlord became unpopular his house was called "Pumpkin Tav ern.”—Lewiston Journal. A circuit court judge in Missouri solemnly ruled that an automobile is not an asset, but s liability. that in accordance with the census; that Is to say. in proportion to the population of each state. Senator Hill not only regarded this clause of the income tax as unconstitutional, because the constitution provides that an income tax mast be levied accord ing to the census, but. in addition, he felt that were a tax of that kind lev ied and collected, the tendency would be seriously to threaten the equality of the states In their representation in their federal senate. Senator HU1 therefore prepared a speech which has now gone upon record as one of the ablest of all the speeches deliv ered in the senate since the time of the Civil war. In this matter he stood almost alone among his Democratic associates, and the senate passed the Wilson bill, much amended, but with the original income tax clause un changed. This was the tariff bill which President Cleveland refused to sign, characterizing it as a bill of Perfidy and dishonor. After the bill had become law. It was determined to make a speedy test of the constitutionality of the income tax clause, and when those who had united to forward this important Ju dicial proceeding consulted as to who. among the lawyers of the United States, could make the ablest argu ment before the Supreme court, all were of the opinion that Senator Hill was the man. The senator was there fore approached and asked, practic ally in these words, whether he would accept a retainer to argue the case: “Senator, we have .unanimously agreed that you. better than any other lawyer of whom we have knowledge, would make a convincing argument before the Supreme court We have therefore decided to ask you to ac cept a retainer simply to make that argument, and we are prepared to of fer you a retainer of 15.000.*' For some moments the senator was silent He seemed to be considering the proposition from all sides. At last he said: “1 should greatly like to make the argument before the Supreme court 1 would be willlcg to make It with out a retainer: 1 regard the subject as of vita’, consequence. But It does not Feem to me as though it would square with my view of the ethics of senatorial service if 1 were to accept your retainer. I made my appeal as a senator to my colleagues In the senate. 1 spoke with earnestness and in aii sincerity. A majority of the senate, however, disagreed with me. Now. if I. having been defeated in the senate, were to make an argument before the Supreme court upon this issue, It would seem as though, having been defeated In the senate, 1 at once resorted to the Supreme court No. I do not think that I would be justified in accepting this retainer, although I say again that I should greatly liks to make the argument." After this refusal the party sought other counsel, who argued the case before the Supreme court, and won It And when the opinion was read It was discovered that It practically adopted the line of argument made by Hill la the federal senate.

Dandyism develojjed a new phase of quiet richness during early Geor gian times and the court exquisites were stately figures in finely-laced shirts, long-skirted coats and gold clocked stockings. The hats worn by the beaux were modified reproduc tions of those in fashion at Versailles and the art of wearing them was ; shown in the tilt; in fact, different angles in the tilt identified the wear er's status and locality. In 1772 dandyism became again paramount. A band of young bloods | returned from an extended tour I abroad, and while In Italy they had j contrived to get several new ideas ; about drees into their somewhat ! empty heads. Fired with an ever-growing sense of their own importance as arbiters of fashion, they formed themselves into a group known as the Macaroni club, in contradistinction to the good old-fashioned Eeefsteak club of Lon don. The Macaroni dresBed their hair in enormous side curls, with a hideous knockerlike twist at the back. With this exaggerated coifTure a tiny hat was worn, which It was correct for the wearer to raise with his tasseled cane. A soft white handkerchief was tied in a huge bow under the Macaroni s chin; his coat was short and his tight knee breeches wore made of striped or flowered silk. Thus garbed, with innumerable dangling seals, two watches at least, silk stockings' and diamond buckled shoes, the dandy walked abroad, emi nently satisfied with himself and quite convinced that his appearance was greatly envied.—“Beau Brum mel and His Times.” When anger comes wisdom takes k e—Hub.

Rastus was on trial, charged with stealing seven dollars and eighty-five cents. He pleaded not guilty, and, as he was unable to hire an attorney, the judge appointed Lawyer Clearem as counsel. Clearem put up a strong plea in defense, and Rastus was ac quitted. Counsel and client met a few min utes later outside the court room. "Now. Rastus." said Clearem. “you know the court allows the coun sel very little for defending this kind of case. I worked hard for you and got you clear I’m entitled to much more pay than I'm getting for my valuable services, and you should dig up a good-sized fee. Have you got any money T’ “Yes, boss.” replied Rastus. “I done got seben doilahs and eighty-five cents.” Parents and Children’s Faults. Parents ought to collaborate with teachers in helping to develop the best in their children, and consequent ly to eliminate the worst. Instead of this view of the matter we tsays Ella Wheeler Wilcox i find parents taking a stand against the teacher who tries to talk of the faults of their children and discuss a remedy, and all the work which the teacher has hoped to do in character building ialls to the ground under the lifted hammer of the unwise and belligerent parent, who in sists that ”my child” must be without .’aults, and that the teacher who sees faults is an enemy, not a friend. It is seldom, indeed, that a man or a wom an occupying the position of a teacher is prejudiced or has personal or selfish motives for criticising a child. Character Told in Greeting. Joseph Simms. M. D., in Physiog nomy Illustrated, says: ‘ The man who gives you a warm, cordial, hearty grasp. looks you straight in the face, with a pleasant, open smile, and shakes your hand up and down, with drawing his after a second earner--: gentle pressure, is almost without an exception an honest, earnest and true friend. The man who gives you the waggin. horizontal, mill hopper shako, and lets slip—your hand as if it were greasy or oily, will almost certainly be found to be a selfish, cunning and de ceitful man. ready to sell you the mo ment he can realize a dollar.” Country’s Oldest Weaver.

A happy old lady in Wisconsin says: •'During the time I was a coffee drinker I was subject to sick head aches. sometimes lasting 2 or 3 days, totally unfitting me for anything. To this affliction was added, some years ago, a trouble with my heart : that, was very painful, accompanied by a smothering sensation and faint ness. "Dyspepsia, also, came to make life I harder to bear. I took all sorts of pat ent medicines but none of them helped me for any length of time. “The doctors frequently told me that coffee was not good for me; but without coffee I felt as if I had no breakfast. 1 finally decided about 2 years ago to abandon the use of cof fee entirely, and as I had read a great deal about Postum I concluded to try that for a breakfast beverage. "I liked the taste of it and was par ticularly pleased to notice that it did not 'come up' as coffee used to. The bad spells with my heart grew less and less frequent, and finally ceased altogether, and I have not had an at tack of sick headache for more than a year. My digestion is good, too, and II am thankful that I am once more a healthy woman. I know my wonder ful restoration to health came from i quitting coffee and using Postum.’ ■ Name given by the Postum Co., Battle j Creek, Mich. “There's a reason,” and it is this. Coffee has a direct action on the liver with some people, and causes partial congestion of that organ preventing the natural outlet of the secretions.
