Stories for the Children
Apple Pie.
When our cook she makes a pie.
You oughter see her Angers fly!
She sits an' holds a yeller bowl.
An' stirs so fust she keeps a hole
Down through the middle of the stun
There's milk an' egg. an' flour enough
And maybe other things, but I
Ferget Just all that makes u pie.
When our cook she makes a pie.
She rolls the dough thut. by and by.
Is two round blunkets; then you 11 see
Her slice some apples evenly.
Plump into bed she makes 'em hop.
An' cuts some peep-holes through the top.
So they won t smother when they lie
All warm an' sugared in the pie.
When our cook she makes a pie.
She balances the plate up high.
And with a pleasant snippy sound
She trims it nicely all around.
And when she's thumbed the edges tight
The apples can't get up at night.
But when she's baked It. then, oh my.
You never et such apple pie!
—Burges Johnson, In Harper's Weekly.
Fun With a Comb.
Every boy and girl using a comb
to smooth out their tangled locks on a
cold morning has heard and wondered
at the electricity that cackles as the
comb passes through the hair. This
property of the comb can be used In
an interesting experiment. Cut out
a lot of little paper figures. On the
next cold day when your hair begins
to snap and stand on end in its effort
to follow the comb, hold the comb
over the figures. The puppets imme
diately appear to be endowed with
life. They commence to jump and
dance, or stick to each other and the
comb, as if fastened with glue. Often
a figure will stand on Its head; an
other, fixing himself by one hand hold
his tiny form upright in a comical
fashion; sometimes they will form
themselves into long strings and go
through all manner of seemingly in
telligent movements.
Minko.
Minko Is a game played by the Japa
nese boys. Two boys play It; one
throws a red disk face down on the
ground, and the other tries to strike
it so hard with his green disk that
h» turns it over and thus wins the red
one.
The Bells of Japan.
One ot the sweetest of them rings
out many times every day into the
waiting air. in a far-away little city.
Its tone is intensely thrilling and '
pathetic. The bells are not sounded
by a clapper, but are struck from the
outside by a sort of wooden arm. Be
ing withdrawn to the proper distance
and released, it strikes the bell once;
the strokes art allowed to succeed one
another on.y with dignified and stately
regularity. Tradition says that the
finest bells have much silver in their
composition, which may account for
their deep and wonderful sweetness.
Whether this be so or not, the bells
make a profound Impression upon all
sensitive and musical persons, here
tofore accustomed to the more discord
ant bells of our western civilization.—

Up-Helly-A.
Up-Helly-A! one of the few ancient
British customs which, survives. Is
still kept as a carnival by the Gulzers
or the Shetland Isles at the end of
January, at I.erwick.
Thirty squads of from six to twenty
persons each are formed, and every
squad has a distinctive fancy dress.
A fine model of a Norse galley Is
built, gilded and decked with glitter
ing shields nnd Norse raven banners.
Sometimes there are two or three
small galleys.
Early on Up-Helly day an immense
poster, attested by the sign manual
of the Worthy Chief Guizer, is placed
at the market cross, declaring the
route of the procession.
In the afternoon the children par
ade the streets, drawing pretty little
models of galleys and dancing round
little bonfires, In which the galley* are
burnt.
In the evening there is a torchlight
procession of Gulzers. The great gal
ley. with a crew of quaintly-attired
musicians. Is drawn through the town
and afterwards burnt in the market
close.
Then bands of Gulzers. still in
fancy dress, make house-to-house vis
its in the town, and eat. drink and
dance far Into the night with their
entertainers. —London Mirror.
A Trick With Water.
If a drop of water is let fall on a
piece of paper. It spreads In a large
circle. If, however, the paper has
been oiled, or covered with lamp
black or some similar substance, the
drop of water will roll upon It as a
ball slightly flattened. This fact may
be made use of for the performance of
a pretty trick. •
Take a bahd of rather strong paper,
about a foot wide and as long as pos
sible —several sheets pasted together
end to end will do admirably—pass It
over a smoking lamp, or better, still,
cover one side of It with graphite,
commonly called blacklead or plum
bago. Stand upright on the table sev
eral books decreasing regularly in
size, and pin the band of paper on
their backs, taking care that the
waves In the paper are longer and
more shallow as you approach the
smallest book. At the lower end of the
band place a dish. At the other end
pour water drop by drop on the paper.
The drops will roll rapidly down the
first incline, and with the Impetus
thus gained will remount over the
back of the second book, and so on
over one book after another till they
drop into the dish.
Wriggles—A Game.
The worse artist you are, the more
fun this game Is!
Give each player a pad and pencil,
and have each draw a short, crooked
line on the paper. Then let each ex
change pads with his neighbor. The
person who receives his neighbor’s
pad must then make a picture—bird,
beast or whatever else he pleases—in
which he Incorporates his neighbor's
''wriggle” and makes it heavier In out
line, so as to distinguish It from the
rest of the drawing.
Shouts of laughter will greet the
drawings when they are hung up for
exhibition.
A prize should be awarded to the
cleverest, and also to the most ridicu
lous one, and the artist of each one
should be compelled to rise and ac
cept his prjze and bow his acknowl
edgments to the audience.
Funny Little Hand Mill.
Thrust a needle through a cork
lengthwise, so that you can make it
stand point up.
Now cut a piece of thin, very light
paper Into a square about three-quar
tes of an Inch along each side. Bend
one corner up a bit and one down,
in about the shape of the wings of the
common pinwheels.
Then find the exact center of it anil
adjust It on the point of th« needle
wo that It can turn easily.
Now tell the company that you can
make the card revolve at the word of
command. Rub your hand without
letting any one see It. This is done
to warm It. for the success of the
trick depends on the heat of the hand.
Then rest the hand on the table
so that >our open palm will be toward
the card. Gradually bring your palm
to the card till it Is so close as almost
to touch It. The card will begin to
turn almost immediately If It has
been adjusted properly, and If your
hand is warm enough.
The Fighting Pellets.
Lay two cork pellets on water In a
glass or small basin, and they will
approach each other more and more
until at last they dart together with
I a rush. Now take away one of the
cork pellets and put a tiny pellet of
wax in its place. Immediately the
I two pellets will fight—that Is. the
I cork pellet will push the wax pel
! let violently away from It.
Why is this?

Witch Fortune Party
Boys and girls may find much
amusement at a witch fortune telling
party, such as is described here.
The boy or girl through whom the
"all wise" witch speaks takes his or
her place behind a curtain, as Is
shown In the accompanying picture.
No. 1. The presence of this person
must be kept a secret from the guests,
who are seated In the parlor, facing
the curtain, or "cabinet,” as It may be
called.
us take it for granted that ths
principal performing In the cabinet
is a boy named John, thus simplifying
the description.
The curtain to form the cabinet is
bung diagonally across one corner of
the room, leaving space behind it for
a person to sit comfortably on a
chair. In the center of this curtain,
at the height of a boy's shoulders, is
a perpendicular slit about twenty
inches long. (Shown in picture No.
1.) John takes his seat in the cabi
net Jdst before the guests arrive, his
wrists and doubled up fists prepared
represent the witch. First, after
binding the wrists together with a
piece of nuislln, the fists are rounded
out by wrappings of cotton batting.
Over this Is drawn smoothly a white
cloth to form a head. On the front
side —the side that will look toward
the audience—features are painted
with ink and water colors. Over the
back and sides of the head a witch's
rutile hood is put on and is tied snug
ly under the chin. From the wrists,
which form the neck, a dress is hung,
with rag arms attached. The dress is
to be long enough to fall below the
each of the cork pellets is a lillle
higher than It Is on the rest of the
surface. In its efforts to equalize
this the water draws the two pellets
together.
The wax pellet, however, exerts no
such influence on water. It sits lower
on the water, therefore, than the cork
pellet, and actually slides away from
the latter whenever it approaches Its
little hill of water.

Do you know your friends’ hands?
Some time when several are presenl

the fingers open as wide as possible,
upon a sheet of plain white paper,
and then with a pencil mark the out
line of the hand. Then shuffle the out
lines and let all guess which Is whose.

A child or catcher Is at each end of

the dare base they are safe.
Man-Eating Tiger Scared.
One day while two brothers were
cutting bamboos near a village In
India a man-eating tiger sprang out
of the jungle on one of them, knocked
him down and was about to carry him
off when the other flung himself on
the brute’s back and shouted at the
top of his voice. The tiger was so
surprised at the novelty of the attack
that it dropped Its prey, shook ofT Its
rider and bolted. Unhappily, the
victim had been so badly bitten and
otherwise mauled that he did not
recover. These man eating tigers are
the curse of the villages. They are
tigers past active work that skulk
about In the long grass on the chance
of snapping up an easy meal. The
incident is Interesting as proving
once more the cfTect of the human
voice, loudly and vigorously used
upon wild animals.
elbows when the hands are held up.
(See picture No. 2.)
In the curtain, just in front of
John's eyes, a small round bole has
been cut, so that he may see all that
transpires in the parlor.
After the guests have assembled
and been seated, the hostess explains
that a fortune telling witch Is in the
cabinet and that she will soon make
her appearance, telling the future,
past nnd present to those desiring to
possess such knowledge.
Then John thrusts his fists (the
witch ’s head) out through the open
ing In the curtain, and In a high fal
setto voice says ‘‘Good eve to you,
ladies fair, and gentlemen brave. I
am here to read to you the tnings that
Fate decrees shall come to pass. Let
those who would have the mystery of
the future solved rise, one at a time,
to their feet.”
As he has been speaking, John
has pressed the body of the witch
through the curtain, making her wag
right, forward and back, in a most
humorous fashion.
As the guests rise, one at a time,
in accordance with the witch’s order,
John tells the fortunes in the same
disguised voice, which seems to speak
her head emphatically from left to
from the nodding, dancing witch. Be
ing enabled to see the person whose
fortune is being told, he can touch
upon little personal affairs that will
cause much fun for the guests. ,
The two accompanying pictures will
give a good idea of how the witch is
made and the manner in which she
will appear.
ROCKEFELLER S PLEA
DENIES CHARGE OF DISHONESTY.
Statement of Standard Oil Solicitor
Defends Great Oil Mag. ate—Says
Allegations of Ministers Are False
and Vile.
New York, April 7.—S. C. T. I>odd,
chief solicitor of the Standard Oil
Company, gave out a statement yester
day with reference to the recent dis
cussion as to the acceptance of a gift
of SIOO,OOO offered by John D. Rocke
feller for missionary work.
Mr. Dodd declares that the state
ment that Mr. Rockefeller made his
money dishonestly "Is false, is vile
and, being made by ministers In the
pretended Interest of morality, is
doubly vile.”
Mr. Dodd then says that the Stan
dard Oil Company does not own a
share of stock In any railway; does
not control any railroad company, and
that since the enactment of the Inter
state commerce law, has not received
lower rates than other shippers by re
bates. arrangements, devices or plans
of any character.
The testimony of Howard Page,
freight agent of the Standaul Oil
Company, before the Industrial Com
mission, is quoted in this connection.
With reference to gas and copper
companies. Mr. Dodd says:
"No doubt many have been preju
diced against Mr. Rockefeller by sen
sational writers, whose articles, ac
companied by portraits and carica
tures. are intended to create the Im
pression tht Mr. Rockefeller was prin
cipal In the affairs relating to the or
ganization of the gas and copper com
panies, although no fad showing such
connection is stated. The Standard OH
Company has already denied that it
had any conectlon or interest, directly
or indirectly, in the organization of
these corporations, and on the best au
thority the same denial is now made
for John D. Rockefeller. He had Ho
connection with nor Interest in. direct
ly or indirectly, the organization of
these corporations.”
corporations.”
In his statement Mr Dodd says:
"There may well be a difference of
opinion on the abstract, question
whether the hoard of missions should
receive gifts unless satisfied that the
giver is honest; but all will agree that
if he who would bring ills gift to the
altar must come with clean hands, still
more should he who ministers at the
altar and receives the gift be freo
from stain. There is no excuse for
those who make money dishonestly,
ami still less excuse for those who. In
the name of religion, falsely accuse
their fellow men.”

Dr. Gladden's Reply.
Columbus, Ohio, April 7.—Dr. Wash
ingfon Gladden, moderator of the gen
era I council of the Congregational
churches of the Knited States, last
night gave the following signed roply
to the statement of S. C. T. Dodd gen
eral counsel of tlie Standard Oil Com
pany :
"Mr. Dodd says that Standard Oil
does not own a share of stock In any
railroad company. By this statement
Mr. Dodd intends to convey and does
convey to the public the meaning that
the group of men with common inter
ests who have always owned and con
trolled the Standard Oil Company, ami
for whom the phrase 'Standard Oil’ Is
an accurate and convenient synonym,
do not own any railroad stock or con
trol any railroad.
“Is this statement, which Mr. Dodd
intends to convej a true statement?
Will Mr. Dodd peclflcally state that
the group of men thus described do
not own enough .stock practically to
control many of our Important rail
roads?
"Until this question Is definitely an
swered, other parts of the manifesto
may be neglected

NEW SUPREME COURT
ORGANIZATION UNDER NEW LAW
Two Justices From Former Court of
Appeals Added to Supreme
Court of Colorado.
Denver, April 7.—By virtue of legal
provision and with Impressive cere
monies the new Supreme Court of Col
orado came Into existence Wednesday.
Governor McDonald signed the three
bills passed by the Legislature provid
ing for the consolidation of the Court
of Appeals and the Supreme Court in
harmony witli the constitutional
amendment which carried at the No
vember polls Wednesday morning.
At about the same hour, 10 o'clock
a. in.. In the Supreme Court room, be
fore an audience that crowded to the
doors, the new justices took their oaths
of office and the court was formally
organized.
The audience included Judges and
attorneys from all over the state. Gov
ernor McDonald was a witness to the
ceremonies, also Lieutenant Governor
Arthur Cornforth.
The program was in charge of the
Colorado Bar Association. The exer
cises began promptly at 10 o'clock, at
which time the seven Justices, clad in
their black silk robes, filed into the
room. The chief Justice took his seat
at the middle of the bench. To his
right sat Justices Steele, Maxwell and
Gunter. To his left were Justices
Campbell, Goddard and Bailey.
Immediately following the opening
of court Justices Gunter and Maxwell
of the old Court of Appeals, were
sworn Into office by Chief Justice Gab
bert.
John Ewing of Leadvllle, first vice
president of the Colorado Bar Associa
tion presided in the place of Justice
Goddard.
Mr. Ewing presented Judge Wilbur
F. Stone, who spoke on "The History
of the Appellate Courts of Colorado.”
He was followed by Tyson Dines,
who spoke on "The Relations of Bench
and Bar."
Platt Rogers made a congratulatory
address to the enlarged court.
To each of these addresses Chief
Justice Gabbert responded.
After briefly reviewing the history
of the two courts. Chief Justice Gab
bert Bald:
“To-day marks the beginning of the
increase in the number of members of
this court. The increase in the vol
ume of litigation and the Importance of
questions presented for adjudication
demanded this change. There is safety
in the counsel of numbers. Whether
or not it was wise to abolish the Court
of Appeals remains to be seen. It Is
certainly more logical to have but one
court of review. There is a limit In
the disposition of causes taken to ap
pollute courts for review, beyond
which no judge can go. The right to
review Is purely statutory. No litigant
has an Inherent right to an appeal. Or
dinarily, the state has performed Its
duty to Its people when It has provided
competent tribunals of original juris
diction to which litigants may resort
for the purpose of having their dis
putes adjudicated. Of course, there are
many questions affecting life, liberty
and property which should have more
mature and careful consideration than
nisi prlus courts are able to give
them; but In this slate, ns well as lu
many others, the right to review by
appeal is allowed to an unreasonable
extent.”
The new* Supreme Court is consti
tuted as follows:
Chief Justice—William H. Gabbert.
Associate Justice—Robert W. Steele.
Associate Justice—John Campbell.
Associate Justice—Julius C. Guntei.
Associate Justice —John M. Maxwe 11.
Associate Justice—Luther M. God
dard.
Associate Justice—George W. Bai
ley.
Following are the officers of the
court:
Chief Clerk- Horace G. Clnrk.
First Assistant —James Perchard.
Second Assistant —Cornelius Wester
velt.
Librarian—F. A. Richardson.
Bailiffs —Samuel J. Shirley and
Richard W. Watson.
The stenographers selected by the
several Justices are:
Gabbert —Miss Martha J. Spears.
Steele —O. W. Jackson.
Campbell—Miss Mary DeLangc.
Bunter Miss Mary D. Young.
Maxwell Miss Hallie M. Spruance.
Bailey —Miss Beatrice Hall.

. EDWARD DUNNE.
Mayor-elect.
King Edward in Paris.
Paris. April 7. —The arrival of King
Edward In Paris yesterday was the
occasion for a notable manifestation
of Anglo-French cordiality, which Is
being generally interpreted as a con
spicuous response to Germany's atti
tude regarding Morocco, although the
king remained but a short time.
He was met outside the city by
President Loubet, who held a private
conversation with his majesty last
ing nearly an hour. The details of the
conversation excite a wide range of

EARTHQUAKE IN INDIA
DESTRUCTION AND LOSS OF LIFE
Damage In Many Citios.— House*
Leveled to the Ground. —English
Families Among the Killed.
Calcutta. April 6. —Late accounts
from various cities tell a tale of sever©
damage to property arising from the
earthquakes of the morning of April
4th, but it Is impossible as yet to esti
mate the extent of the loss of life. No
news lias been received of damage to
buildings in Agra. No loss of life I»
reported from Delhi but many build
ings were damaged. Visitors front
Mussoree report considerable damage
to private property. It is a curious
fact that the older houses in Mussoree
escaped with less damage than mod
ern buildings. The only fatalities re
ported were to two natives.
Many houses were completely de
molished. The fissures In the roads
have been closed and repairs to build
ings havo been started. The weather
was bright and warm when the earth
quake occurred.
Dharmsala station, eighty five miles
northwest of Simla, was destroyed,
all the houses in the place being lev
eled to the ground anil some Eu
ropeans and many natives killed..
Women and children are sleeping In*
the open air. Food is not procurable,
as the bazaar is in ruins. Reports In
dicate that Dharmsala felt the full
force of the shock.
The deaths include C. W. I/Oxton.j
who, only the previous day, had as
sumed the office of district Judge from:
Captain Elliot, who, with his family,
left the same day, escaping the shock.
Mrs. Loxton's fate Is not known. Oth
ers who perished were F. M. C.
T. Young. T. Miller, F. Farleys, all pub
lic officials; Captain Muscroft anti
Mrs. and the two Misses Robinson.
Colonel Robinson appears to have sur
vived.
The hills show the worst effects of
the shock, although information is
very meagre from some of the summer
stations where telegraph stations have
not yet been opened, like the vale of
Kashmir, communication with which
has evidently been cut by landslip!
or accidents to the lines.
Reports from many moro towns
show widespread damage and many fa
talities. This is especially the case in
Flrozpur (forty-seven miles southeast
of Lahore), Amritsar. Turaua, Dahra
Dun and Srinagar, at which places
many natives were killed or Injured.
Personal stories from Mussqrcw
state that the reverberation which
preceded the shock will never be for
gotten by those who heard 1L The
mountains heaved and swayed a full
minute and then three severe shocks,
each lasting n few seconds, were felt.
In quick succession. Between 6 o'clock
In the morning of April 4th and mid
night there were twelve shocks. Many
narrow escapes are reported. The ef
fect of the shocks In sickness and diz
ziness with many still continues. A
number of people sat or slept out of
doors during the whole of last night.
ENGINEER DEPORTED.
Colorado Man Driven From Goldfield,
Nevada, by Unions.
Denver, Colo., April 6.—A RepuMl
can special from Goldfield, Nevada,
last night, says:
“J. W. Jennings, formerly engineer
of the electric light station here, was
seized last night by a committee of a
labor union, escorted to th© outskirts
of town and ordered to leave. The
cause of the deportation Is that Jen
nings was a militiaman In Colorado
during the labor troubles last year.
“Jennings was recently chosen chief
of the local fire department.
‘‘The action of the labor organiza
tion created considerable local com
ment. No opportunity was accorded
the deported rnan to secure a convey
ance for Tonopah and he was forced to
walk the twenty-six miles across the
desert.
"Jennings was inet by a party com
ing to Goldfield at a point eight miles
from town. He was in a dazed condi
tion and barely able to walk. He told
the men that he had been viciously
beaten after being escorted out of
town. The committee, he stated,
without provocation on his part, at
tacked him and nearly beat him into
insensibility before giving him a final
Injunction never to return to ramp.
"Jennings suffered severe bruises
about the head and face and presented
a sorrowful appearance. He was stag
gering along the road as though he
were barely able to continue his jour
ney. Friends have gone with a rig to
pick him up and take him to Tono
pah."

viding for the dipping of sheep.

recommended that it be signed. The
amendments that were tacked on which

override that.
