HIS BLUFF FAILED TO WORK.
"Kind Lady" Was Not the Easy Mark
Weary Willie Had Fondly
Hoped to Find.
Weary Willie left the dustry coun
try roadside and entered the hospit
able open gate at the end of a neat
walk bordered with bright-hued and
old-fashioned flowers. A tidy and
motherly-looking woman, who looked
as if she might be "easy fruit," sat on
a vine-clad little porch hemming a
sheet. She seemed to be the only
person on the premises and Weary
Willie fancied that she looked a bit
scared. It was because of this that
there was a certain note of authority
in his voice when he said:
"I want to git something to eat,
kind lady, and I"
The "kind lady" gave her head a
little toss and interrupted him by saying:-
"You do, eh? Well, I can tell
you, my wandering friend, that you
just have run afoul of the wrong 'kind
lady when you struck me, an' if you
think that I am a bit scared of you or
of any of your tram pin tribe you are
most beautifully left, an' so I let you
know, for the tramp never yet drew
the breath o life that I was scared of
or who could bulldoze me into feedin'
him, an' I can tell you straight that I
ain't no use for you nor for none o
your clan, an' if I had my way 'there
would be a workhouse in every county
in the land where such gents as you
would put in 12 good hours of work
every day or be stood- in the stocks
that long, and I guess then you would
keep off the country roads an' stop
scarin' wimmen that ain't got nerve
enough to tell you what they think of
you, which I have, an' so I let you
know, an if you don't light out o' here
right forthwith an' faster, in less than
one minnit I wilf go into the house
an' come out again with a hosswhip
that I have used on more than one o'
your stripe, an' sent him off howlin'
like the whipped cur that he was, an'
that you will be if you so much as
open your mouth even to say 'kind
lady' to me, which I ain't, nor 'don't,
want to be no 'kind lady' when it
comes to wasting sweetness on the
desert air, as a body might say, by
beln kind to any such low-dwn,
wuthless specimens o' scum o the
earth as you represent, an' if you
don't vamoose this ranch In three
shakes of a dead sheep's tail I'll un
chain a dog I've got in the back yard
that iikes nothin' better than to make
sausage meat of such Goin', are
you, my friend?" Puck!

Origin of America's Name.
It is a curious chance that America
received Its name from a German
geographer. Old Prof. Waldseemuel
ler made a mistake, Indeed, when he
named the new countries at Brazil
after the Florentine Amerigo Ves
puccl. It would have been far more
just to name the new world after Co
lumbus, but though Waldseemuellei
recognized his mistake and withdrew
the name, it remained in use. Ana
curiously enough, that Amerigo Yes
pucci whose nam gave origin to tht
name of America, had himself, though
an Italian, stilt a German famil)
name, Emmerich, Emery in English
Thus America is a continent with a
German name, the meaning of which
might, perhaps, be interpreted as
"rich-in corn;' If this is correct, Prof.
Waldseemueller chose' an incorrect
but appropriate name. Prof. Al
brecht Penck, in Science.

answer guns out of every conceivable
crevice and corner, blending In one
deafening uproar, while scores of
shells plow the water for miles
around.
Sentries are everywhere; infantry
parties crouch In the shadows; hun
dreds of gunners stand ready behind
hundreds of guns in these; mysterious
labyrinths hewn out of the solid rock

of the Maxim guns gives contrast to

Modern "needle" guns, the finest In
Europe, are Installed on all the most
prominent points. They are unreach
able from the sea, even as they are

which they are painted and draped
to match the surrounding vegetation,
while huge screens drop automatically
before them as each shell is fired.
They have a range of fifteen miles
and could drop shells, on Ceuta, In
Africa, opposite, quite comfortably!
One gun weighs 110 tons and is capa

quarters of a ton! In that marvel of
engineering under great difficulties,
the galleries, are concealed, guns for
every-day in the year!
These galleries are divided into
three sections, entry to which is
guarded, while one is closed even to
high officers, containing preserved
stores, munitions of war, rain water
(for Gibraltar has no springs) and a
complete condensing plant all calcu

TRUE TO THEIR INSTITUTIONS
Unchanging Character of the Saxon
Race as Evinced Throughout
the Centuries.
This tribe of SaxonB had, by acci
dent or wise 'leadership, happened
upon the very country best suited to
them. A fertile island, cut off from
the rest of the world and with room
for all, so that each one might, with
his family, have a kingdom of his own.
This, with as little machinery of gov
ernment as possible and yet all ready
to combine' as equals In self-defense.
But as they made their land product
ive, as they became rich, they became
the prey of other peoples from north
western Germany and what is now the
Scandinavian peninsula and were
forced to- defend their possessions
and their customs against Angles,
Danes and Normans.
It is a curious feature of the abid
ing, unrelenting purpose of these Sax
ons to govern themselves and to .be
let alone that, though they were con
quered In turn by Angles, Danes and
Normans, they swallowed up all three
in the end and imposed their customs,
their language, their habit of mind
and their institutions upon each of the
invaders" in turn. They would have
nothing to do with the half-developed
feudalism of Angles and Danes, nor
with the full-developed feudalism of
William the Conqueror and his follow
ers. The conqueror claimed that the
land was his' and that every holder of
land owed fealty to him personally.
It took about 100 years for the Saxon
idea to prevail over the feudalistic
noUon, and the result was magna
charta. The magna charta wrested,
from King John by the barons was in
reality the shaking of personal alle
giance to a chieftain by the Norman
barons, aided by the Saxon gentry,
who had finally imbued them also
with their own love of independence
and free government. They Insisted
then, and have maintained ever since,
that they derived their rights, their
liberties and their laws not from a
king, but from themselves. In the'
days of William the Conqueror their
king was elective, though chosen from
the reigning house. As late as 1689
the commons voted that King James
had abdicated and that the throne was
vacant! They chose their own rulers,
and no doubt would do so again to-day
if necessary. It is much too long a
story to go, step by step, through the
recital of this development. It con
cerns us here only to note these un
changing characteristics of the race,
maintained and strengthened through
centuries of war, tumult and conquest

Bulls Without Horns.
In his "Irish.,Llfe and Character"
Michael Macdonagh has a choice col
lecUon of bulls. He called on a hair
dresser In Kingstown. As he was

It's grand stuff." the man replied.
"It's a sort of multum in parvo the

VALUE IN WELL-TRAINED MIND
Has Effect Toe Frequently Unappre
ciated In Social and Domes
tic Relatione,
Men often realize that a well-trained
mind Is a great asset In business; yet
seldom do we see comment upon the
fact that It Is also Invaluable la so
cial and domesUc relations. The
mind, after a certain stage Is passed,
works automatically In kindness as
in calculation.
This is noticeable In the study of
pronounced characters. Men are en
abled to act quickly in emergency only
by Intuition; and it follows that when
a man Is habitually kind, or merciful,
or considerate, or all three, he wlU
be so in the crisis of bis life.
Character is a matter of slow forma
tion. In a pronounced form It Is rare.
The average is a. mixture of many
lines of training; hence, vacillation.
The more pronounced, the more force
ful for certain effects.
It is in babyhood that the formation
begins, and in the earlier years are
laid bases which after effort may
never be able to remove. Environ
ment of course, is one factor. The
child brought up In an atmosphere of
kindness, courtesy, mercy, generosity,
etc.. is Ukely, although not certain, to
remain so.
In any event the main thought la
that we too frequently forget that
trained minds have possibilities be
yond money-making. The mind Is
ever a tyrant The money-grubber
cannot reform after a, certain period;
and he who has reached 40 generous
will find difficulty In becoming n
miser, even If so minded, when past
that period.
Rigid Rules for Childhood,
Childhood must have been a dreary
time when Lady Burton was a little
girl. "The only times we were allowed
dowa stairs," she says In her reminis
cences, "were at two o'clock luncheon
(our dinner), and to dessert for about
a quarter of an hour If our parents
were dining alone or had very Inti
mate friends? On these occasions I was
dressed in white muslin and blue rib
bons, and Theodore, my stepbrother,
in green velvet with turnover lace col
lar, after the fashion of that time., We
were not allowed to speak unless spo
ken to; we were not allowed to ask
for anything unless It waa given to us.
We kissed our father's and mother's
hands and asked their blessing before
going upstairs, and we stood upright
by the side of them all the time we
were In the room. In those days, there
was no lolHng about, no Tommy-keep-your-fingers-out-of-the-jam,-
no Dick-crawllngunder-the-table-pinching
peo
ple's legs, as nowadays."

Experts Differ as to the Species That
the Egyptian Knew as House
hold Pets.
Experts have held that the so-called
"cat" of the ancient Romans and
Greeks ' ("ailurus." the wavy-tailed
one) was not a. cat at all, but a kind
of weasel. The mummified Egyptian
animal, however, was a genuine cat,
even if certain peculiarities about its
teeth make it difficult to regard it as
a near relative of the modern domes
tic puss.
The exact origin of the latter re
mains a puzzle. It appears first mys
teriously, in the middle ages, when it
was decidedly rare and highly prized
throughout Europe, though the wild
cat still abounded everywhere. And
experts have not been able to satisfy
themselves that the domestic cat and
the wild one are really the same.
' As a result of the recommendations
of Dr. Koch of Germany that cats are
the best preventives of the plague
the Japanese authorities have been
taking a cat census. At Osaka it was
found there were 54,389 cats kept by
48,222 families. In addition there
were 5,696 homeless, cats. In the
plague spots of the city no cats wer6.

ica. No. Indeed. We boast of our
civilization and of our modern judicial
system, but we haven't yet mastered
the art of delivering justice and equity
to the complete and smiling approval
of two sides to a given controversy."
The judge paused for breath.
"It was over In Tanglers." he re
sumed. "Long bearded patriarchs come
In on their camels and camp In the
streets while they attend court When
you see a court trial looking for all the
world like a scene out of the Bible, you
naturally expect to see justice meted
out more crudely than by our own
modern methods. But, as I say, the sys
tem over there In Morocco has Its ad
vantages. The judge took his seat on
the floor over In a corner of the court
room and the litigants sat down on
the floor facing him.
"When the case was over the court
handed down his decision on the spot,
and both parties to the suit walked
away wreathed In smiles. Have you
ever seen a trial end so happily in
America?"
SPEAKS OUT WITH COURAGE.
British House of Commons Listens
with Respect to Fiery Words of
Keir Hardie.
"Yes." shouted Mr. Keir Hardie. "If
the work of the department is not Us
own justification, excuses only acen
tuate the failure."
"Hear, hear!" cheered the Labor
party.
In the closing passages Mr. Keir
Hardie's voice rang with emotion as
he spoke of the suffering 'poor.
"If these people are placed outside
the law we have no right to expect
them to obey the law. If the worst
comes to the worst. I shall not con
tent myself with speaking from the
safety which a seat in parliament
gives. I shall go down among my
own people, who are suffering from
hunger and cold, and take the respon
sibility of the advice I shall give
them. The country must be shocked
out of Its Inertia."
His voice rose almost to a scream.
The house was quite silent; his emo
tion was apparent to all. When he
took his seat he had to wipe the tears
from his eyes with the back of bis
hand.-r-London Daily Mail.
Blames Laziness or Much.
Dr. Charles A. Eaton of the Madison
Avenue Methodist church said in the
course of a brilliant after-dinner speech
in Cleveland:
"Laziness is responsible for too
much of the misery we see about us
It Is all very well 'to blame alcohol
for this misery, to blame oppression
and Injustice; but to whal heights
might we not all have climbed but
for our laziness?"
He paused and smiled.
"We. are too much like the super
numerary In the drama," he went on,
"who had' to enter from the right and
say: 'My lord, the carriage waits."
"'Look here, super,' said the stage
manager one night, 'I want you tc
come on from the left Instead of' the
right after this, and I want you tc
transpose your speech. Make it run
hereafter: "The carriage waits, mj
lord."'
"The super pressed his hand to his
brow.
"'More, study! More study!' he
groaned." New York Times.
English Gloom.
Lady Gordon writes: "If you ask
any intelligent foreigner what hla
(chief Impression of England is. he will
Invariably reply, the cheerlessness ot
the English. If any proof were need
ed of the prevalent gloom, it would
surely be found In the astonishment
which the few remaining cheerful peo
ple cause and the amazing popularity
they enjoy. Our sunny friends and ac
quaintances can be counted on our
fingers; our dismal ones are all around
us. A really cheerful Englishman la
such a phenomenon that everybody
asks his wife if 'he Is always like
that and refuses to believe her when
she answers in the affirmative."
All One to Nature.
A waistcoat of broadcloth or of fus
tian is alike to an aching, heart, and
we laugh no merrier on velvet cush
ions than we did on wooden chaira.
J. K. Jerome.
Wiedem from Uncle Ebon.
"Nursin' a grouch." said Uncle
"Is like neglectln' de flowers
