After Using. r "i-CHESTER CHEMICAL CO., Madison Place, Philadelphia, Pu. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1908 Spinning on the Common. That historic bit <>f ground known to the world as Boston Common'has been the background of many a strange and picturesque scene. Surely not one of the varied events which have been acted upon it presents a quainter pic ture than one which took place about 1750. Mr. Francis Drake describes the occurrence 111 his article In"The Memo rial History of Boston" on "Life In Boston In the Provincial reriod." In 1720 au attempt was made In Bos ton to encourage the art of spinning and to establish schools where the process could he taught to the poor. It was recommended that twenty spin ning wheels should be provided by the town for the use of children sent from the almshouse and a premium allowed cf £5 for the first piece of linen spun and woven. In 1747 a society was organized for the encouragement of the industry, and the fourth anniversary was publicly celebrated. "In the afternoon," says an old ac count, "300 young female spinsters, de cently dressed, appeared on the com mon with their spinning wheels. The wheels were placed in three rows, a female at each wheel. Weavers also appeared in garments of their own weaving. There was an immense num ber of spectators." The Size of Great Men. The Iron Duke has always been a mystery. I have read that he was six feet four inches tall. 1 have road also that he was only live feet six inches. Historians tell us he was anywhere from live feet six inches to live feet eleven inches. There are some things seemingly very simple which it is im possible to establish. This is one of them. Historians are still guessing the height of Julius Caesar, the size of Hannibal's head, the weight of Alex l ander the Great and the general di mensions of Solomon. Why, wo are not even sure of the stature of George Washington. It might be believed that Napoleon, Alexander the Great and Jay Gould were of the same size, three bumptious little chaps. And it is com mon belief that Charlemagne, Erling the Bold, Frederick the Great, Robert Bruce, Sir William Wallace, General Winfield Scott and Richard Coeur de Lion were all top notchers, "Old Fuss and Feathers," formed in the prodigal ity of nature, leading in girth and weight.—New York Press. This Day and Time. "Dis yer day tin' time," said Brother Williams, "is too much fer me. Ef dar wuz a Joshua livin' who could make de sun stau' still he do it so he could save on de gas bill, an' ef Jonah wuz liviu' now an' a whale didn't have any mo' sense than ter swaller him he'd lan' dat whale high an' dry an' sell him ter de ile trust, an* ef Lot wuz gwine 'long wld his wife an' she wuz turned into a pillar er salt he'd buil' a fence roun' her an' 'lect hisse'f president er a salt trust! Hits de rushin'est, grab all age I ever wuz in. Dey not only rides de lightnin', but dey done staked off de stars, an' dey knows des how many hours a day de fireman in de sun works, an' dey is slick enough ter tie tin cans ter de tails of de comics what go blazln' roun' de sky! Wo is so wise on our own account dat wisdom itse'f looks foolish. Wbar we'll fetch up I dunno. All I does know is dat we gwine fast enough ter make yo' head swim!"— Atlanta Constitution. A Telephone Opiate. The elder's wife was seriously ill, and the doctor advised rest and quiet. But the lady was very devoted to church work and worried herself into hysteria because she could not attend services and hear her favorite pastor preach. "She must not leave the house," warned the doctor, "but you can easily arrange to have her hear (he sermon by telephone." The elder grasped the suggestion and made the necessary arrangements for transmitting the sermon into his wife's room. At noon on the Sabbath the doctor called and asked, "How did it work?" "Fine," declared the elder, rubbing his hands gleefully. "Ten minutes aft er the sermon began she fell sound asleep."—Philadelphia Ledger. His Criticism. Robert Louis Stevenson once took an eccentric acquaintance of his to hear Sir Charles Halle play the piano at St. James' hall, Loudon. Sir Charles was a musician of the most correct and severe British type, though a German by birth. After the concert was over they walked as far as the Marble arch, neither having spoken. Arrived there, the friend stopped and delivered him self thus: "The manner of (lie elderly statesman at the piano was somewhat austere and chilling." And then they walked on. Taking No Chances. A farmer who tool: much pride In the looks of his fattening pigs once purchased a pair from a neighbor. Upon delivery at (lie usual age of eight weeks they seemed to him rather small. Eying them dubiously, ho remarked dryly, "Guess I had better keep the cat shut up for a few days." A Hard Stunt. Mamma—Good gracious, Georgle! What is the matter with Freddie Jones? Is the child having a fit? Gcorgie No, mamma. You know Fred die stutters, and we hot ho couldn't say "altitudlnosity" before Hobble mil twice around the block. I'tick. Ponderous. Evelyn>—no's a very learned man. You wouldn't think so. would you? Natica—Oh, yes! I suspected it at once. Evelyn Indeed? Natica- Yes. He makes me so tired!—lllustrated Bits. No Wonder He Fled. A tall, solemn looking young man entercMl the restaurant with a mild, apologetic air and seated hlmseli at a vacant table near the middle of the room. It was evident that he dreaded to intrude. He wanted to get as far away from other people as possible. He even blushed painfully when he gave his order, and the most casual observer could have told that he was bashful. Just as his dinner was brought to him a buxom looking wo man with seven small children entered the place. The head waiter swept the field with his eye, pounced down upon the table where the young man had sought solitude, motioned to the moth er, who cluckfll to tho chickens, and a moment later they were all around that one table. That young man's face was a serial story. Other people entered the restaurant, glanced at the group, smiled signifi cantly and seated themselves. "He doesn't look it, does he?" queried a pleasant faced old lady in an audible ■whisper. "She looks at least ten years older than he," murmured a girl at the next table. He flew to the hatrack, tossed a half crown to the waiter and tried togo through the door without opening it.— London Telegraph. A Wasted Opporunity. "Ole Bill" Foote and "Ole Bill" Eng lish were political traveling compan ions, and many stories were told of their joint journeying. The two hardy Democratic campaign ers were doing southern California one election time and got into the country at the back door of Los Angeles. One night they reached a farmhouse where they had expected to find lodgings. The farmer had nothing but two arm chairs. Foote and English pleaded for beds—cots, trundle beds, anything that looked like a bed. Nothing doing. The campaigners, lU#o Napoleon or Grant or like Washington at Valley Forge, slept in their chairs. When the first advance agents of dawn scudded out of the west, the poli ticians laboriously got out of their chairs and went out for fresh air. They met the old farmer milking the cow with the crumpled horn. "Do you know, gentlemen," he said blandly and without contrition, "you could have had a bed, after all? I was expecting two Democratic orators here last night and saved the beds for them, but somehow or other they never show ed up, dang 'em."—San Francisco Call. The King Had Rights. Onoe when Macready was perform ing at tho theater at Mobile, Ala., his manner at rehearsal displeased one of the actors, a native American of pure western type. This Claudius in "Ham let" resolved to "get even" with the star for many supposed offenses, and in this way he carried out his purpose. When In the last scene Hamlet stab bed the usurper he reeled forward and after a most spasmodic finish stretch ed himself out precisely in the place Ilamlet required for his own death. Macready, much annoyed, whispered fiercely: "Die farther up the stage, sir." The monarch lay insensible, upon which in a still louder voice the Ham let growled: "Die farther up the stage, sir." Hereupon the Claudius, sitting up, observed: "I believe I'm king here, and I'll die where I please.' The tragedy concluded without more ado. Broke Up His Speech. Judge Norton was solemn, stern and dignified to excess. He was also ego tistical and sensitive to ridicule. Judge Nelson was a wit and careless of de corum. Ho did not like Judge Norton. At a bar supper Judge Norton in an elaborate speech, referring to the early days of Wisconsin, described with trag ic manner a thunderstorm which once overtook him in riding tho circuit. The scene was awful, "and," said the judge, "I expected every moment the light ning would strike the tree under which I had taken shelter." "Then," interrupted Nelson, "why in thunder didn't you get under another tree?" —Philadelphia Ledger. A Snow Hurriccne. The buran, or snow hurricane of the Pamirs, is a meteorological phenome non of groat interest. Even in mid summer the temperature during a snow buran frequently falls to 14 de crees while in one winter it dropped i. •]."> degrees below zero at tho end of January. The buran comes with star tling suddenness, ilic atmosphere grow ing dark with whirling snowtlakes where scarcely a minute before the sky was perfectly clear. One of Life's Little Tracjedies. He seized her, drew her to liim and deliberately struck her. She made no sound. Again and yet again the brute repeated the blow, ami slill she gave no sign of suffering, but when, with rapidly growing anger, lie struck her for the fourth time she shrieked aloud, and her head flew off. She was only a match. Bohemian Magazine. Wrong Way Arcund. "Mr. Purslington says he believes a man should pay as lie goes."
