A DISAPPOINTED MAN
The Question Over Which Ho and the
Insurance Agent Split
Mr nnlloruu surveyed the insurance
agent with a Uarlc and hostile counte
nance The fact that one eye was
concealed by a somewhat grimy band
age did not add to the attractiveness
of his expression
llavent you made up j our Ulnd yet
to insure with us inquired the ug ut
You told me I might call again in a
few days
There was two of you at me to get
an accident insurance policy said
Mr llunoruu breathing heavily 1
towld you and him both you might call
in again and he come lirrst day be
foor ylstherday and I insured wid
his company
That very night I met up wid Bar
ney Casey on the way home which
was what I was expecting wud hap
pen continued Mr Ilalloran raising
himself by grasping the arms of his
chair with two capable although
scarred hands and whin wed finish
ed wid one another I was like this
Ylstherday morning I sent for the
insurance chap and says I to him
Look at me I says and istimate the
damages and pay them
lie squirmed right out o the door
saying twas no accident Id had
Now if meeting wid Barney Casey
afther keeping out o his way for six
months is no accident Im done wid in
surance companies and the sooner you
Iave this house the betther twill plaze

An Interview That Made Matters Clear
to the Officer
Come mister no one can sleep
here said a policeman the other even
ing wheu he found a man lying on a
vacant plot of land by the side of the
road and aroused him
lint I have a good excuse replied
the man
What is it
See that house over there Well
please to do me the favor to go and
ring the bell and ask if William Dock
ey is at home
The oflicer went to the house as
cended the steps and rang the bell
A head was thrust out of a window
and a womans voice demanded
Now who is there
Madam replied the officer is
William Dockey at home
No he aint and I dont expect him
until daylight said the woman and
at the same time a bowlful of water
descended on the officers head
Well said the man on the ground
as the dripping officer came up you
see how it is dont you Im Dockey
Thats -Mrs Dockey
I think I understand replied the
oflicer You can remain where you

Death Ancient and Modern
The art of the ancients would cer
tainly seem to show I hat their concep
tion of death was a much more cheer
ful one than that which has obtained
in later times It was at one time
thought that the old Greeks and Egyp
tians had no artistic symbol for death
but this was a misconceptiou Death
was almost invariably represented by
them as the kinsman of sleep The
Greeks personified it as Thanatos eld
er brother of Sleep The Romans
sometimes depicted Death and Sleep
as twin children reposing in the arms
of Night The skull and crossbones
and the skeleton as emblems of death
do not appear to have become com
mon until comparatively late Christian
times It has been suggested that the
terrible famines and pestilences which
scourged Europe during the middle
ages were responsible for the fear or
horror with which the modern mind
is usually accustomed to look upon
death
Discourtesy Rebuked
Lord Palmerston expected work to
be done well but Mr Preston Thomas
in his book tells us that of mere pec
cadillos he was tolerant Some young
gentlemen in the foreign office amused
themselves by shining young ladies
who lived on the other side of the
street that is by catching the rays
of the sun on a mirror and flashing
them over the way The father of the
young ladies complained to Palmer
ston who thereupon issued this min
ute
The secretary of state desires that
the gentlemen in his department will
not cast disagreeable reflections on
the ladies opposite London Chron

How to Test Paper
You cannot test paper as you would
string by stretching it It has been
stretched so much in the process of
manufacture that it wont stand much
more The way to test it is to rub it
in the hands After such treatment
poor paper is full of holes and cracks
Good paper simply takes the appear
ance of leather If much white dust
is produced we know there are earth
ly impurities If it cracks it has been
bleached too much Loudon Globe

ME MOUND AS
A STATE PARK
Historic Relic Purchased by
West Virginia
FIRST DISCOVERED IE 1772
It Gives Moundsvilio Its Name and Ii
One of the Most Celebrated and Beet
Preserved Memorials of the Remains
of a Prehistoric Race Guarded by
Heirs of G S McFaddcn For Years
Standing seventy feet in height and
measuring JKJ0 feet in circumference
with trees growing upon its summit
estimated to be at least TOO years
old the mammoth mound from which
Moundsville W Va derives its name
located on the Grave creek Hats near
the Qhio river the greatest monument
of antiquity in the Ohio valley and aj
tremendous memorial of the aboriginal
life of the prehistoric people has been
purchased by the state of West Vir
ginia and converted into a public park
The legislature of the Mountain
State following unceasing activity in
the interest of the purchase of the
mound for twenty years appropriated
10000 with which to save the relic
from the ravages of modern commer
cialism The deed of transfer from
G S McFaddens heirs to the state of
West Virginia was formally executed
before the work of beautifying the
grounds was allowed to commence i
Twenty five thousand dollars is the
price to be paid for the mound
this sum 000 has been donated
the heirs as a memorial to their
ther who preserved the monad
years A similar sum was raised
subscription Ijy the school children of j
the state The last payment on the
purchase price is duo next October
Builders of Mounds and Hill Forts
The mound m question is one of the
most celebrated and best preserved of
the remains of the prehistoric Ameri j
can race which for lack of a better1
name and because of its characteristic
habit of erecting these mounds has be
come known as the mound builders
Antedating the Indian they appear
to have been driven by an invasion of
strangers possibly the first Indians
from the north western part of the
American continenfin a general south
westerly direction mounds and hill
forts marking their retreat The best
remains are found in the Miami and
Ohio river valleys There is a theory
that this strange peeople may have
migrated into Mexico and formed
there the nucleus of the powerful
Aztec nation conquered by Cortes
The mound was first discovered by
Joseph Tomlinson of Pittsburg in 1771
or
by
for
by
The man one of the pioneer
ers journeyed down the Ohio river i
from Pittsburg in an open canoe i
searching for a location for a home in
the trackless wilds Mooring his bark
near Little Grave creek just north of
where the city of Moundsville now
stands he toured the country there
about for a suitable site for his pro
spective cabin coming upon the mound
Experiences of Its First Settler
Realizing nothing of the historic
value of his discovery or that the
mound was anything more than a cu
rious conformation of the earth Tom
linson impressed with the region re
turned to Pittsburg loaded his family
and his belongings upon a raft and
ventured again upon the broad bosom
of the Ohio He was the first settler
in this territory and to all intents and
purposes the founder of the present
cities of Moundsville and Wheeling
Other settlers followed the path blazed
by Tomlinson in the wilderness A
small colony was formed north of the
location of the mound at a point near
what is now knowu as the city of
Wheeling As a protection against
the Indians a stockade that afterward
became celebrated as Fort Elenry was
erected Several years later Simon
Girty the renegade in company with
White Cloud and his band of Black
feet marched up the Ohio and attack
ed the home of Tomlinson His two
small sons were slain but he and his
wife escaped to Fort Henry The at
tempt of the redskins to take the fort
and their ultimate repulse are now
matters of history It was during this
battle that Betsy Zane made her he
roic run through the line of Indian fire
to a storage house from which she se
cured a keg of powder to be used in
defense of the fort the ammunition
having become exhausted
A quarter of a century ago the late
S MeFadden purchased the mound
ns order to prevent its being sold to a
German who knew the value of the
spot for a popular resort and intended
opening a saloon on its summit A
year or more ago the heirs of MeFad
den served notice that they had held j
the mound as long as possible and that
it would be sold at once State ofli 1
cials sectired an option on the proper- i
tv later securing from the legislature
an appropriation sufficient to warrant
the purchase

THE FINAL POSE
It Made the Thing Harmonious and
Complete All Around
In the early days of traveling by
stagecoach across the Rocky moun
tains the trip was likely to be relieved
of monotony by incidents of no ordi
nary occurrence Hut the fatigue of
the journey wns apt to wear upon the
nerves of the weak and the timid I
Sometimes the passengers became so
worn out as to lead to a suspicion of
their sanity The night Kev D S
Tut tie in his IIcininisceurcR of a Mis
sionary Bishop describes an instance
in point I
One forenoon th coach rolled Into
Denver ard thr six homes came pranc
ing up to the ollice of Wells Fargo fc
Co A large crowd was assembler as
the incoming and the outgoing cf the
daily coaches were the great events
for the town
At the stop the only passenger quick
ly threw open the coach door leaped
to the ground ran hurriedly across the
street and turning a handspring
stood on his head with his heels up
against a supporting wall
Several men followed him quite sure
that here was another passenger craz
ed by the long sleepless ride One
said to him in a tone of sympathy
Why capn whats the matter
Slowly coming to a right side up
posture the man answered Well my
friend Ill tell you what it is This
standing on my head is the only posi
tion which I havent been In during
the last twenty four hours In yonder
coach and I wanted to make the
thing harmonious and complete all
round
IN A CHINESE BANK
Way the Clerks Use the Abacus
and Counting Boards
The Chinese have a way of getting
hold f the first principles of things
even though they may not have devel
oped them into elaborate and scientific
systems
A foreigner especially if he be of
prepossessing appearance is received
with great civility at a Chinese bank
Schroff shouts the head clerk This
word is not as it sounds German but
a corruption of Hindoo sarraf or
bankers assistant In response to this
call a native cashier appears noiseless
and deferential with a smooth shaven
skull a four foot pigtail and a spot
less fiowing garment
With great rapidity he will make an
exchange of notes doing his calculat
ing on an abacus a frame of wire and
beads similar to those used in country
schools everywhere years ago His
lomr lithe fingers move over the beads
more quickly than the eye can follow
but theres no mistake in the total
Perhaps the visitor will want a large
piece of money changed into small
coin Instead of going through the
wearisome operation of counting out
the 00 pieces included in this trans
action a simple ingenious device is
employed A fiat wooden tray is pro-
duced containing a hundred recesses
each just big enough to lodge one coin
and just shallow enough to prevent the
possibility of two lurking together
The pile of small coins is poured out
on this tray and with ond jerk of the
clerks wrist the hundred recesses are
filled and the surplus swept off Har

A Bit of Correspondence
The following correspondence erl
ing in true Irish fashion actually
passed between two men in England
some years ago
Mr Thompson presents his compli
ments to Mr Simpson and begs to re
quest that he will keep his doggs from
trespassing on his grounds
Mr Simpson presents his compli
ments to Mr Thompson and begs to
suggest that in future he should not
spell dogs with two gees
Mr Thompsons respects to Mr
Simpson and will feel obliged if he
will add the letter e to the last word
in the note just received so as to rep
resent Mr Simpson and lady
Mr Simpson returns Mr Thomp
sons note unopened the impertinence
it contains being only equaled by its
vulgarity
He Got the Book
Bishop Doane used to tell the follow
ing story on himself
