t Id IronsMea.
Old Ironsldea is inch a cherished ac
tional treasure now that It MMds 1Br
credible that it was once proposed In
all seriousness to tear It to pieces (or
what little value could be got out of
the material, remarks the Boston Post
Holmes was a law student at Harvard
at the time, He was only a month
more than twect^-ohe years old He
wrote his immortal poem with a lead
pencil on a stray scrap of paper, yet
It has been said:
"This probably Is the only case In
which a government policy wm chang
ed by the verses of a college student"
Originally Old Ironsides was one of
four sister frigates, the Constitution,
the Constellation, the United State*
and the President Of the other tfcrto,
alas, only memories remain. The Con
stellation was broken up, as they In
tended to break up Old Ironaldea. One
of the otheru rottod away at a British
dock, and the fourth was lost at sea.
Curiously enough, the story of tteae
four sifter frigates la one of tha least
"known chapters In American history.
Yet It Is well worth reading up.—Chi
cago News.
Sh« B«oam« a Bora.
Most persons who talk about them
selves are bores. A writer in the
American Magaclne says:
"One of the most companionable wo
men I ever knew was so completely
transformed by an operation that she
unconsciously became a bora to her
friends and to her family by tedious
repetitions of her hospital experience.
Her idea of its importance was so ex
aggerated that she lost all sense of
proportion. Truly her 'operation' be
came the alpha and omega of her ex
istence. From it all events in her life
history date^ It was her sole topic
of conversation. No matter how skill
fully one might steer the conversation
al bark awny from the dreaded topic,
she adroitly brought It back. As a re
sult she became self centered, Intro
spective and a boreto her friends. Her
efforts to eutertaln merely annoyed.
Where she hoped to arouse admiration
she created disgust, and where she
sought sympathy she received only In
difference."
The Hope of the Pole*.
Tliero are more Poles today In the
world than ever before, and their
fecundity Is unrivaled. Their national
feellug was never deeper rooted or
more Intelligent If a Pole teUa^ou ha
is la favor of autonomy under Ger
many or Russia or Austria he Is lying:
for expediency's sake. The Pole wants
only one thing, and that "Is independ
ence. In this are they not like every
other nation worth its salt? "Are you
a patriot?" said Napoleon in 1810 to
John Sniadeckl, rector of the Universi
ty of Vilna. "Sire," answered the rec
tor. "from my birth I hare learned to
love my couutry, and her misfortunes
have only strengthened the love I bear
for her." After an additional century
of Poland's misfortunes her children,
scattered over the whole world, would
give the same answer. And there are
seven times as many of them now as
there were then.—Century.
Very Anciant Warfare.
At the beginning -jf the Chino-Jap
anese war one of our military attaches
attended a Chinese review. A Chinese
regiment took the Held and went
through a curious performance. They
carried long bamboo fishing rod things,
and with these they rushed at one an
other, yelling wildly and making very
queer gestures and grimaces.
"What's the frame?" asked our at
tache.
"This regiment," a Chinese general
answered, "is one of our oldest. It Is
now practising a form of assault which
dates from prehistoric times. The idea
Is to trip the enemy with the long
wand, throw water In his face and
in his bewilderment at this extraordi
nary treatment to cut off his heud."
Firat In Something.
According to their own account, the
children were first in something at
school. One was first In reading, an
other in arithmetic, another Jn sports.
Bertie alone remained silent.
"Well, Bertie, how about you?" his
uncle asked. "Aren't you first in any
thing?"
"Yes," said honest Bertie; "I am first
out of the building when the bell
rings.'*—New York Times.
History Repeat*.
Two men were once talking over
their respective sons' careers kt col
lege, and one remarked:
"Well, I sometimes-feel like saying,
as did Aaron in the wilderness, 'Be
hold, X poured in the gold and there
came out this calf*"—New Tort Amer
ican.
Prudent Man.
"Had any luck in the stock market
lately?"
"The best ever."
"How much did you clean up?"
"Not a cent. I listened to a still
small voice and stayed out"—Birming
ham Age-Herald.
Distance Lends Frsebantrrant.
She—Do you think It will be all right
for us after we are married to settle a
couple of squares away from my fami
ly? He—I was going to say a couple
of states.—New York Times.
Optimism.
Wife—John, you'll have to take that
ball away from b'aby. He hit sister
on the head wlth it John—Yes, dear,
but you should have seen the curve the
little cuss had on it.—Puck.
True glory consists In bo llv.'ng as to
make the world happter and better for

An Odd Ceque6t.
The'following is one of the oddest be
quests ever recorded In a last testa
ment It appeared In the will of a
•Bristol mariner proved !n 1795: The
old gentleman ordered his executors to
"pay out of the first moneys collected,
to my beloved wife, if living, 1 shil
ling, which I have given as a token of
my love, that she may buy hazelnuts,
as I know that she is better pleased
with cracking them than she is with
mending the boles in her stockings."
Comparative.
"Contentment is always a compara
tive virtue."
"What do you mean?"
"Blgsby used up a dozen fifty dollar
tires from April to October, but he's
tickled to death because he made his
patched and busted garden hose lar.t
through the summer."—Cleveland Piala
