The queen said he was a

the reasons why I fear a detrimental
effect from this bill if passed."
"Xor do I wish to hear thorn. That
would involve a discussion, and I will
not discuss the matter."
The commander iu chief of the army
came in next The Queen's foreign
policy was already showing signs of
disturbing her amicable relations with
neighboring powers, and, fearing war,
he had called with a view to urge an
increase of the army.
"I am for peace," was the queen's
laconic reply to his arguments.
"But, your majesty, there is an ad
age 'In time of peace prepare'
The queen cut htm short with the
usual refusal to discuss the matter,
and the general got out like the rest
It was not long before the minister
of internal revenue announced that
a mob had gathered to resist the en
forcement of the tax she had levied.
The minister of foreign affairs reported
that the Polyphemians had given her
ambassador his walking papers. The
minister of state sent word that nine
tenths of the bachelors of the kingdom
had moved across the border into that
of the Polyphemians, thus depriving
her of their services In case of war
and becoming an auxiliary to the king
of Polyphemia. The general in chief
of the artny reported that, a war being
at hand, he would like instructions as
to the disposition of her inlager forces. I
The only one of these officials the
queen replied to was the general in
c-hief. whom she condescended to ask
what she had better do. He replied
that any opinion from him would be
Insubordinate, inasmuch as he well
knew her majesty was not accustomed
to discuss her measures with her heads
of departments. Besides, since she was
for peace doubtless she had other
methods of preserving it than by the
unholy method of war.
There was now no time for the queen
to "discuss the riiatter," for the Poly
pSemians came down with a large
army, the vanguard of which was com
posed of the taxed bachelors. The
queen was deposed, and one of the
bachelors, the worst old baldheaded,
snaggle toothed woman hater among
them, was made king.
A CHAIN OF FAME
The Barrier Washington Erected
Across the Hudson.
ARNOLD REMOVED ONE LINK.
Still tho Monster CabLe, In Spite of the
Traitor's Act, Served Its Purpose and
Blocked the Progress of the British
Ships Up the River.
Somewhere in the bed of the Hudson
river just off of West Point lies buried
the larger part of u great iron chain,
one of several ordered by General
Washington during the Revolution to
be constructed to prevent the enemy
from ascending certain rivers to ac
complish strategic points of vantage.
The British were making strenuous
efforts to get hold of the Hudson in
order to keep free communication with
Canada by the additional channels of
the St. Lawrence and Lake Champlain,
and so it was determined to obstruct
the Hudson by a great chain crossing
from Fort Montgomery to Anthony's
Nose.
But this was a failure. The chain
parted within a week after it had been
stretched, and, although subsequently
raised and again placed, it was de
stroyed by the British.
Finally Washington decided to forge
another and obstruct the river between
West Point and Constitution island, for
here there was an nbrupt change of
course, and a heavy tide reduced the
speed of any ship encountering it Be
sides. the channel was 300 feet narrow
er at tills crossing.
The forging of a chain such as was
contemplated was then no small under
taking. Requests were secretly sent
to various iron companies, and among
the bids the most favorable came from
the Sterling iron works, situated In
one of the most beautiful regions of
the east, now within the fashionable
domains of Tuxedo Park.
it was originally organized by Lord
Sterling in 1751,' a well known officer
in the Revolutionary army, and con
tinued in operation for more than a
hundred years, meanwhile passing Into
the possession of Abel Noble, who
married a niece of Peter Townsend
and who now in association with the
latter increased the capacity of the
works which eventually came Into the
entire possession of Peter Townsend,
a patriot and tilled with the spirit of
the time.
He finally obtained a few Welsh min
ers from Pennsylvania for the heavy
handling in the forging and a number
of men from Connecticut with their
ox teams to do the hauling, and when
the chain was ready it was drawn
over the rough mountainous roads and
through forests that had to be pur
posely cut in many places and so on
to Nt'W Windsor, the nearest river
point, and towed to West Point
It was a strenuous undertaking from
tiie very start Each link weighed 300
pounds, was two feet In length and
two and a quarter inches square, and
each 100 feet was secured by a swivel,
a twisting link, and at every thousand
feet there was a clevis. The whole
of this weighed 185 tons. When It
was stretched across from West Point
to Constitution island it was buoyed
up by large sixteen foot logs, and
these were In turn held in place by
die anchors.
The Britisn mane no specuic uiuu.-&
on this then invincible obstacle, for it
must be remembered that in those
days there was no dynamite nor tor
pedoes, and none of the enemy's prows
would have pushed their way through
such a barrier.
Although the British did not succeed
In passing the big Hudson river chain,
the American traitor Arnold gave it
his particular attention and removed
a link of it under the pretense of hav
Ins it repaired for weakness at a near
by smithy. lie wrote tw Major Andre
that it would not be replaced until the
forts were surrendered to the British.
But somehow the chain stood for its
purpose, and Sir Heury Clinton did
not attempt to relieve Burgoyne.
Parts of this celebrated chain are to
be seen among various historical cu
rios of prominent societies. A number
of years ago Mayor Hewitt of New
York, then the owner of a mine near
the Sterling properties, became inter
ested in finding out the whereabouts of
th-j remaining portions of the chain. A
large part of it lies at the bottom of
the river, about thirty tons were in
various possessions, and at West Point
there are thirteen links, and a staple
placed near the spot where the chain
was anchored and a plate tells of the
date and place of forging.—Boston
Herald.
No Primaries For Her.
"Are you going to the primaries to
night. Ethelinda?" asked the husband
nf his suffragette wife.
"Indeed 1 am not!" replied the lady.
•TV> you suppose that after I have at
tended the postgraduate courses In po
litical science for two years I'm going
to waste my time on those primary
classes? I guess not! They're good
enough for you men, but we women
have progressed beyond that!"—Har
per's Weekly.
Two Failures.
"I married for beauty alone," said
a presumably happy benedict to an old
chum. "And yet you remind me of a
friend of mine who married for mon
ey," was the rejoinder. "How's that?"
"He didn't get it" said the chum sar
castically.
The preservation of health is a fluty.
Few seem conscious that there i3 such
a thing as physical morality.—Spencer.
SEEKING KIDD'S TREASURE.
Inspiration Prom Fortune Taller Laada
Rivera In Quaat.
Oregon City, Ore.—Declaring that ho
nns received an inspiration from a
jypsy fortune teller which will lead
aim to discover the famous treasure of
Captain Kldd. which has been sought
for centuries. I. W. Rivers, a promi
nent Willamette rancher, will ■tart
from this city in about two weeks tor
:he Oregon coast
Rivers states that several years ago
while he and his wife were visiting at
The Onks they consalted a fortune
:eller, who told them that they would
liscover the treasure. She stated that
it would be found In a cr.ve in a rock
which is a prominent feature of the
.•oast scenery near Nestucca beach.
Last year Rivers and his wife went
to the beach and found the cave,
which is marked by a cross and a
Sorse shoe. Inside the cave, according
to the fortune teller, they were to find
the fortune at the end of a log. The
log was found by Rivers,, but he dug at
the wrong end of it and so did liot get
the fortune.
This, according to the fortune teller,
(s just as he would do. for she said he
would have to make two trips before
he would get the fortune. He Is now
trying to get- capital -to finance the
scheme.

Bunny Hug.
White River Junction, Vt—Although
he Is eighty-one years old, Dana Bur
bank of Barnahl walked five miles to
attend an old folk ball here. Mr. Bur
bank did not learn to dance until he
was seventy-six years old. Now be
likes it better than anything else In
the world.
"I uever saw the tango or the bunny
bug danced." Mr. Burbank told a re
porter, "but old as I am I would like
to give them Just one whirl
"I don't think there is any harm in
dancing or attending dances any more
than there is In attending.church. 1
know there Is a lot eald about dancing,
and the Idea is that It Is immoral, bat
I don't see It that way. ' X think there
Is a tot of enjoyment obtained, and It
makes you feel that you are not on the
shelf of old age. I love to dance, and
I am now realizing what I missed by
not learning before, t don't know
Just what started me."
