SATISFYING STORY.
it
"Worked Ilotli "Vnj-K In rjolialf of
the CttiiKri'NNiiinn. I
Some years ago there came to Wash-
lngtoti a representative In congress
from Iowa who was an ardent ehaui
plon of the cause of prohibition.
One day a friend from home dropped
in to see tho congressman. During the
course of his stay he had occasion to
use his pocketknlfe, which the repre
sentative much admired. This knife
had In It a hook, "designed," so the
friend said, "to remove stones that
might become fastened hi a horse's
hoof on a rocky road." Finally, seeing
the Intense admiration of the congress
man for the knife, tho friend gave It ty
him. When tho statesman had reached
homo and hnd shown the gift to his
wife she laughed.
"John," said she, "any man who has
served three terms In the state senate,
been lieutenant governor and had two
terms In congress must he a pretty
good man If he doesn't know a cham
pagne opener from a hoof cleaner."
Somehow tho story got out and was
copied by nearly every newspaper In
Iowa. One day the congressman met
the newspaper man whom he under
stood to be the author of the first squib
in the matter.
"You did mo a great service," smil
ingly said the representative to tlio
correspondent. "All the prohibitionists
are taking my wife's view of my Ig
norance, and all the 'antls' are Insist
ing that I'm a devil of a good fellow
for Imposing ho successfully on my
wife. It works In my behalf which
ever way you take It." Saturday
Evening Post.
A DYED BEARD.
It Probably CIiiiiikciI the Illittorr of
the Whole Human Ilnoe.
The most striking case in history of
the Importance of trllles Is furnished
by the Htory of Musa, the leader of the
Moslem host which won from Christen
dom In three and a half years domin
ions which It took the soldiers of the
cross twenty generations to win hack.
He hud a red beard. This was a trifle.
Musa, though a very great general,
was a very vain man, and he dyed his
heard black. This was another trifle.
One of his captains chaffed him on the
subject, and Musa forthwith had him
stripped and scourged. For this, at
the very height of his conquering ca
reer, Musa was recalled by the caliph
and disgraced. This made it Impos
sible for him to command the Moslem
army at the battle of Tours, on the Is
sue of which, as all historians agree,
the destinies of Kurope and perhaps of
the whole human race depended.
It Is almost certain that if the genius
of Musa hnd replaced the Incompetence
of the half dor.cn tribal leaders whose
dissensions made victory impossible
the forces of Islam would have Joined
hands from the west to the east and
Inclosed Europe in their grasp. Lon

CLIMATE AND SPEECH.
Soft I.iinKunKe mill TroplcM Weather
Sec in to Jo ToKether.
Gutturals predominate in Norway
and Hussla, whereas far to tho south
ward In sunny Italy there is a profu
sion of such euphonious names as Pa
lermo, Verona, Campobullo, etc. Kven
In the llrltlsh Isles, covering so few de
grees of latitude, there Is a marked
difference between the "bur" of the
hlghlander and the soft speech of the
native of southern Knglaud.
A theory which may partly account
for these climatic effects Is bused
upon the coutrast of the stillness which
usually pervades southern lands with
the stormy Inquietude of northern
countries. Cloudless skies for months
at a tlmo characterize the climates of
Italy, while a firmament entirely free
from clouds Is rare In Norway.
It requires, of course, greater effort
to be heard In the reglous which are
swept by wlmln and uforms than In
still southern latitudes, and to be
hcurd distinctly amid the noise and
confusion of the elements words must
be used which contain many conso
nants. Among the Inhabitants of more trop
ical climes the tendency Is toward
soft aud musical cadpnee, and travel

America, such as Peru and Venezuela,

BABIES IN HOLES.

Their Mother Hoe.
I have gone Into a field In Uganda
and there found one of our women at
work with a hoe, writes a missionary
sister In Donahoe's. I asked her wfcero
her baby Maria was, and she pointed
to a spot at some distance where the
banana treefl were thick. I walked
under the shade, and in vain I sought
tho Infant. The mother was greatly
amused and urged me to search fur
ther, assuring me that the little one
was not far away and was fast asleep.
I had to "give up," so the mother took
me by the hand and led me to a bit of
bark cloth on the ground. Under tills
rag was the crown of the baby's head,
while the body was In a hole deep
enoitjsh for the feet to rest on the
grotind. To my surprise and expostu
lations she said hi her own language
"This Is a good custom. When a
Uganda woman goes to hoe It Is not
good for her baby to He asleep on the
ground, as It might Injure Itself by
rolling, or, If It awoke, It might crawl
away. Therefore we make a hole like
this and line It with soft, clean leaves
and put our baby safely Into it so that
It can neither crawl out nor roll away,
and we know exactly where to And It
when we come from the fields." She
said It was perfectly safe from wild
beasts, because It was midday.

During the French revolution a priest
rode In a tumbrel to the guillotine with
two persons one a marquis, the other
a common thief. As the 'cart Jolted
through the crowded streets the citi
zens shouted maledictions on Its occu
pants. "Down with you, beasts of the aris
tocracy!" The marquis smiled proudly, but the
criminal was vexed.
"My gooil friends," he cried, "I am
no aristocrat. I am a thief."
Then the priest touched his arm gen
tly, murmuring:
"Ah, my son, this Is no time for
vanity!"

return certain. When the crops are planted in tlio spring under irrigation,
practically every chanco against his success for the year is eliminated, and
that tho returns ho will got in the fall can bo measured accurately by tho
amount of work ho puts into the soil and the amount of brains ho uses in ap
plying his labor.
