PATRICK HENRY.
His Pal Face and Glaring Eyes Dim
i Ing Hie Great Ovation.
The most overwhelming of Patrick
Henry's great orations is that which
be pronounced before the convention
which met in St John's church at
Richmond March 28, 1775. Already the
mntterings of war were so distinct
4hat Henry, Instead of concealing the
jacis, aeciarca mat war was even then
fcn foot -
"We must flffhtr be said. "An anra.nl
to arms and to the God of hosts Is all
mai is ten usr
Curiously enough, even of this ora
tion there is no authentic record. Cer
tain sentences, certain stirring phrases,
were remembered by many who were
there, but the speech as we have it is
almost surely a restoration by William
Wirt, himself an eloquent and brilliant
orator. He supplied the gaps in what
bis informants repeated to him, piec
es out their recollections with bis
ovffc vivid fnncy. But the spirit of
Henry flame" all through It, and to
Henry may be safely nscrllied such
burning sentences ns these:
"I have but one lamp by which my
lv?t are guldod, and that Is the lamp
of experience. 1 know of no way of
judging the future but by the past"
"Three millions of people armed in
the holy cause of liberty and in such a
country as that which we possess are
.fivlncible by any force which oar en
emy can send against ns."
"Gentlemen may cry peace, peace,
but there is no pence!"
"Is life so dear or peace so sweet as
to be purchased at the price of chains
and slavery? Forbid it. Almighty God!
i Know not what course others may
tak but, as for me, give me liberty or
give me death!"
As In the case of all orators of the
very first rank, the physical Impres
sion made by Henry was as strong as
the Intellectual. There exists a de
scription of his appearance while de
livering this Inst great speech a de
scription that came from one who was
present at the time. It tells how,
when Henry rose and claimed the floor,
there was an "unearthly fire burning
in his eyes, ne commenced somewhat
calmly, but his smothered excitement
begun more and more to piny upon his
features and thrill In the tones of his
voice. The tendons of his neck stood
out white ami riptd like whipcords.
Finally his pale face ami glaring eyes
became terrible to look upon." The
vltness of the. tscpue who iravev this
vivid picture sold that lie himself "felt
sick with excitement" When the ora
tor had finished Lis speech "It seemed
as If a word from him would have
led to any wild explosion of violence.
Men looked beside themselves." Lyn
don Orr in Mnnsey's.
Disoreet Silence.
An excellent piece of advice was
that once given to George Gray, a
young Methodist preacher, who was a
mere boy when he began his work.
Within a few days of the time he was
fifteen and a half years old his name
was on the records of an annual con
ference as a traveling preacher the
youngest candidate ever received in
the Methodist Episcopal church. He
was sent to the Barre circuit in Ver
mont As be mounted his horse to set
out for his appointed field of labor, a
Jaunt of more than 200 miles, his an
cle, a Methodist of much shrewdness
and humor, gave htm n parting ad
dress which he never forgot and to
which be often referre.l In later years.
"Never pretend th:it you know much,
George," said he. looking up at the
youthful rider from under his shaggy
eyebrows, "for If you do so pretend
the people will soon Hud out that you
are sadlv mistaken .liu-. afffiber." ho
added after a moment's pause, "need
you tell them how little you know, for
this they will find out soon enough."
8trainrs Made of Men'e Hair.
The barber as bis patron rose shook
from the apron to" the floor the abort
locks that be hnd clipped from the
man's head, and at the same time a
boy appeared, swept up the hair and
placed it carefully In a large bag.
"Has it got any use? asked the pa
tron, with an Interested and pleased
smile.
"Of course it bus." said the barber.
"Would I save it otherwise V
"But it Is so short."
"No matter. It has Its uses."
"What Is It used for?" said the man.
"What will become of that short hair
which I have bet-u carrying about so
long under my hat?"
"Well," said the burlier, "some of It
will go Into mortur, some of it will
stuff furniture, hut most of It will be
made Into those fine strnlners which
are used to clarify the lost sirups.
There are no strnlners equal to those
woven of short human hair, and for all
the hair that we harbors can supply
the strainer makers keep up a steady
demand." Los Angeles Times.
TREE FROM A HANDSPIKE.
Memorial of a Woodsman's Enlistment
For the Mexican War.
"There Is a river birch tree on the
banks of the Pond Fork branch of the
Little Coal river In Boone county, W.
Va.," said M. O. Eldred of Madison,
W. Va., "and it would go hard with
any man who put an ax to it That
tree has a story.
"When the Mexican war began In
18-10 a recruiting officer visited a luw
bcr camp in the vicinity of Madison,
seeking enlistments from the sturdy
woodsmen who were at work there.
Among them was a giant lumberman
named Jim Martin.
"He was using a handspike made
from a river birch sapling recently cut
and still green. Eager to go to the
front, he thrust his handspike deep
into the soft soil of the river bank
and went away with the recruiting officer.
"The handspike Jim Mnrtln used
was too big and heavy for any of bis
fellows to handle, and it was left stick
ing where be had Jabbed it Into the
ground. The next spring It was no
ticed that it was putting forth green
shoots, showing that it had rooted in
the ground.
"It was left undisturbed, and it grew
ib be a great tree, and it stands today
on the spot where the patriotic Jim
Martin thrust it into the earth as a
battered handspike. Jim Martin was
killed in battle, and bis bones lie some
where on Mexican ground, but be has
his monument in this still sound and
vigorous tree, which is a revered land
mark in all that country." Washing

A SIBERIAN MAMMOTH.
Its Discovery In the River Lena and
How It Was Lost
In 1840 a young Russian engineer,
Benkendorf, saw the river Lena in Si
beria release a dead mammoth frozen
ages ago in the bog. There had been
exceptionally warm weather In the
north of Siberia, and the river, swoll
en by melting snow and ice and tor
rential warm rains, swept out of its
old channel and carved a new one, car
rying to the sea vast quantities of its
former banks and furrowing up the
thawing bogs over which it raced. As
he made his way In a steam cutter
against the current Benkendorf saw
the head of a mammoth appear above
the flood. Rush upon rush of water
more and more released the body. Its
bind legs were still Imbedded when be
en v It but twenty-four hours liberated
these. The mammoth had sunk feet
first Into a bog. Tbe ooze had frozen
over it Successive tides bad heaped
soil and vegetation upon It Bone and
flesh and hair were perfect They se
cured it Tbey cut off its tusks. They
dissected It and found in its stomach
tbe last meal It had eaten, young
shoots of the fir and pine and masti
cated fir cones. Tbey were still at
their work wben the river, spreading
farther, engulfed them. Tbe men es
caped, but tbe waters surged over the
mammoth and carried It for carrion to
the sea.
The Chrysanthemum.
Both In China and Japan Is the
chrysanthemum a great favorite. It
Is said that Cbiuese gardeners to
whom the plant was first known will
allow nothing to deter them from its
culture. They will even give up their
situations If forbidden by their em
ployers to grow It Chinese emigrants,
too, take this "flower of their hearts"
with them to other lands and cultivate
It affectionately in their exile as a re
minder of their native country. There
Is a Chinese "Everything comes to him
who knows how to wait" whlcb has
been Anglicized as follows:
In the second month the peach tree
blooms,
But not till the ninth the chrysanthe
mums. So each must wait till his own turn
cornel.
Fighting Geese.
In Russia pits for cock fighting are
unknown, but "goose pits" some sixty
years ago were common throughout
that mighty kingdom. Tbe effect of
this can be seen today In the geese
which are Indigenous to the country,
the Arsamas and the Tula varieties
particularly showing to a marked de
gree tbe fighting characters of their
ancestors. The Arsamas gander has
a bill which Is entirely different in
form from that of the geese known In
apy other part of tbe world. Tbls spe
cial structure enables the bird to take
a firm grip on tbe neck or back of its
antagonist

our strongest opponents and we want to
keep up the good work by defeating
them. For two years they have only
won one game from us and we don't
want them to defeat us this year. Part
of our former success has been due to
the ilargn and enthusiastic crowds at
our former game. So we want every
one to come and help. Admission 25o;
students I5o. Game called at 8.00 p. m.
sharp.
On account of the basket ball game

Ths Lost Book.
A book from a J unlor's desk has been taken
awav:
Some one has stolen It I heard them say.
The nad-faced Junior Inquires all around,
Ana ine one wno nag taken ltcanc oe round.
"I don't want the book," the at last declares,
And at all the Juniors she fondlv stares.
The teacher Inquires what the book may be,
ivinuiy walks over ana minks sne will see.
An? one tell who has taken tbe book'
Then she over all the school does look.
The Seniors stop work and look very green
While the Juniors hard at worg are seen,
At last the book a Junior has found
And sadly says as she turns around,
"Here's this book, take It and go."
But here now ends this tale of woe. '
