STABLE BOY TO STATESMAN
Englishman Born In Humble Circum
stances Made Place for Himself
Among the Great.
Perhaps no man' of modern times
has passed a more varied and roman
tic life than Thomas Ward, who com
menced life as a 'stable boy and who
later became famous as a statesman,
the Intimate of kings and the player
of a prominent role at the court of
Parma.
Ward, who was born at Yorkshire,
Eng., in 1810, entered the service of
Prince Liechtenstein of Hungary at an
early age, and soon made a name for
himself as a jockey in Vienna. Id
1846 he was made master of the horse
at the court of the duke of Lucca,
proving his efficiency by reducing ex
penses more than 50 per cent be
cause of which proof of his ability he
was sent to Florence on a confidential
mission of the highest importance in
1848. But shortly afterward the
duke's rule was terminated by a revo- !
lution, and Ward became an active
agent of Austria, recovering the hered
itary estates of Parma and Placentia.
As a reward, be was made prime min
ister and sent as an envoy, first to
Vienna and later to St. Petersburg.
After the assassination of the youth
ful Charles III, whom the baron had
placed upon the throne of Parma,
Ward retired from public life and
took to agricultural pursuits in Aus
tria. When he died, carrying with him
many secrets connected with the lead
ing families of Europe, this man who
started as a stable boy bore no less
than nineteen distinguished titles,
among them several conferred by the
reigning houses of Austria, Germany
and Russia.
NOT VERY FAR FROM CORRECT
Marjorie's "Theme" Short and to the
Point Had at Least the Merit
of Conciseness.
. The teacher had assigned a task to
the children that was causing them
considerable trouble. They were to
write a short theme on "What Makes
Great Cities," having 15 minutes to
devote to the subject. Marjorie sat
chewing the end of her pencil, her
mind apparently a blank. Five min
utes passed, and still she had not writ
ten a word. Then minutes went by
and Marjorie's paper was still a blank.
Twelve minutes. Fourteen.
"Only one minute more, children,"
the teacher announced. "Fold your
papers lengthwise and write your name
and the subject on the outside."
All at once Marjorie came to action, j
She wrote frantically and when the j
finni TT,ir,t woo nn h ho-
paper in with the rest, correctly fold- I less aDa ms """' l""ul,u
ed and labeled. j in Never didactl.-. never pedantic, if
Curiosity got the better of the teach
er, and at the first opportunity she
slipped Marjorie's paper out of the j
pile on her desk. j
"Marjorie Jones," was written boldly i
on the outside. "Subject What Makes
Great Cities."
The teacher opened the paper and
found therein one written word cov
ering the subject more or less ade
quately. That word was:
"People."
Trees of Great Age.
The lime tree at Morat, planted at
Frlbourg on the day of the celebrated
battle, is one of the oldest trees in
Europe. This glorious event in the his
tory of Switzerland, having occured in
1476, the venerated tree, which is en
circled by a colonnade and of which
the aged branches are upheld by a
framework of wood, must be almost
'450 years old.
The fir attains a still greater age.
In some of the most ancient forests
of Germany, situated on the summit of
the Wurzelburg in Thuringia, as many
as 700 annual layers have been counted
on some of the trees cut down there.
The olive tree, so revered in ancient
Greece and which inspired such beauti
ful verses in the tragedy of Oedipus b
Sophocles, reached a much greater age.
according to the ancient myth. Pliny
even asserts that in his time the cele
brated olive tree which Minerva caused
to spring from the ground at the time
of the foundation of the city of Cecrops
was still to be seen In the citadel of
Athens.
Chinese Idea of Assassination.
The Chinese have peculiar notions
concerning assassination. The man
wh killed the German minister," von
Kettler, during the Boxer outbreak, is
looked on by the Chinese as a national
martyr. The commemorative arch
which the Germans forced on the Chi
nese as a monument of their disgrace
for murdering the representative of a
foreign power, was understood by the
people at large to be a lasting me
morial to the man who had committed
the deed.
When the arch was removed by
the Chinese after they declared war
on Germany, the people were of the
opinion that either he or one of his
family had committed some crime of
such a nature that the honor that had
been conferred on him had been with
drawn by the government.
Earth's Quiet Spots.
Arid deserts occur in all "of tfte
great land divisions and reach an enor
mous extent in Africa, Asia and Aus
tralia. The most pronounced desert
conditions of South America are
found on the western .slopes and
benches of the Andes. One looalitj.
that of Copiapo, has an average pre
cipitation of 0.4 inches a year, and so
far as known is the driest spot on the
earth's surface. New York Herald.

STORIES TOLD OF WEBSTER
Interesting to Learn That Marvelous
Orator Was, After All, Much
Like the Ordinary Man.
We hear sonuch about the leonine
appearance and the "godlike elo
quence" of Daniel Webster that It is
refreshing to read an anecdote that
presents the man in a more human and
less imposing light.
Once, says a chronicler of life in
old Washington, Webster arrived late
at a concert that the famous' Jenny
LInd was giving and entered just as
she was to siLg Hail Columbia as
an encore. When bhe sang the" first
note Webster jumped to his feet, and
when she reached the chorus he joined
his powerful bass voice with hers. In
vain Mrs. Webster tried to drag him
back into his seat. He supported the
singer in every chorus; and each time
when the song was ended he made a
deep bow to her and waved his hat.
Miss Lind curtsied t9 him In return,
and he bowed again. To the delight
of the audience they continued the lit
tle comedy of etiquette for some time.
One day when Webster was going to
make an address his wife brought
their little son to hear his father. The
orator began in the thunderous tone
for which he was famous. "Will any
man diiro to say " he demanded and
then paused to sweep his breathless
audience with a Jovian glance.
But the climax of this awe-inspiring
sentence was lost in a gale of laugh
ter, for a wee voice promptly piped
from the gallery: "Oh, no, papa, no,
no !" Youth's Companion.
TAKES. HIGH RANK AS CRITIC
Friend Paid Tribute to James Hune
ker's Virtues as a Writer--Fear-
less and Stimulating.
If one were to choose one word that
was to sum up all of Huneker's vir
tues, one would say that, he was re
freshing, writes Norman T. Byrne in
Scribner's. He was an inestimable
breath of fresh air that deranged the
musty rooms of a criticism grown
didactic and lifeless. Life and vigor
were typified by his style a sheen of
sparkling phrases set in a rhythmical
prose that borrowed much from his
musical training.
He was well " versed in the seven
arts, and if his knowledge of some of
them was not always profound, his
love of them was sincere, and the
manner in which he crtticifed each
one in terms of the other is a contin
ued delight to his reader. His taste,
entirely European in character, was
rarely at fault. He was taken in by
some things that were ephemeral, yet
he rarely failed to notice each rising
star or genius, mis aerense was rear-
Ka n-nc. iii-i . 1 iranhnir in rt 1 1 nanrxn inn I
ballast he did possess that sense of
esthetic value that the scholar too
often lacks and that the critic must
have. That was Huneker's forte his
taste and his verve.
Trees' Slow Development.
The slow development of the trunks
of certain trees at once calls up im
ages of immobility and eternity.' The
dragon's blood tree of the Canaries
awakens such thoughts. Thrice fa
mous for its strange looks, its vast
size and its antiquity, this dragon's
blood tree Is equally so for the sta
tionary condition of Its growth. In
the legend of Teneriffe we are told
that tills singular tree was worshiped
by the Guanches, Its original inhabi
tants; and It is related that in the
Fifteenth century mass was celebrat
ed In the interior of its trunk, a fact
even -lately attested by the vestiges
which were seen of a little "altar.
This tree grows so slowly that af
ter a tolerably long interval of time
It was not possible to verify any
change In its circumference.
Indian's Mystery Carving.
A wonderful bit of wood carving In
the museum of the Minnesota Histori
cal society was done by a deaf and
dumb Chippewa Indian at White
Earth reservation.
Inside a smalt whisky bottle are the
figures of a boy and a dog standing be
side a large wheel Every bit of the
construction is of wood, which is
brightly colored. How the Indian got
all his figures through the narrow
neck of the bottle, and how he got
his grouping arranged and stuck to
gether is a mystery. Even the heck
of the bottle Is corked with a big
wooden plug on the inside as well as
on the outside.
Nobody knows how the Indian got
the wood inside the bottle, and the In
dian, being dumb, never told.
"Original Package."
In American constitutional law this
means the package in which goods are
shipped from one state to another.
The United States courts held that
where an article is imported into one
state from another, it does not lose the
protection of the interstate commerce
clause, while the original package re
mains unbroken mid Is the property of
the importer. Interpretation of these
decisions made it possible to evade
state laws by selling direct to the cus
tomers in "original packages." Tire
importance of this is in its bearing on
the sale of cigarettes and other com
modities about which state laws differ.
Guilty Suffer Doubly.
Guilt has always its horrors and
solicitudes ; and to make it yet more
shameful and detestable, it Is doomed
often to stand in awe of those to whom
nothing could give influence or weight
but their power of betraying. John

COUNCIL VOTES
SINGER HILL AS
CITY HALL SITE
Bluff Location Approved by
Ballot of Seven to One;
Mount Only Member Who
Disapproves Compromises.
PLANS TO BE PICKED
IN CLOSED SESSIONS
Measures Not to be Placed On
Ticket; Use of Ground Said
Legal; Design Still Pending,
The compromise site on Singer Hill
was approved by city council Monday
night as the location for the proposed
city hall.
The vote was 7 to 1.
The action was taken on a roll call
motion, and as the result the proceed
ure for the location of the city hall on
the bluff directly above Eighth street
will be taken. The site is immediately
to the north of the Eighth street stairs
The council is also scheduled to
hold an executive session on Thursday
evening to decide upon the plans.
Meeting as a committee of the whole,
they will admit no outsiders during
the discussion.
Vate la Taken
The vote on the measure was: Yes
Bridges, Jack, Krassig, Metzner,
Petzold, Cross, VanAuken. No
Mount. '
The matter of the legality of the
site is to be thoroughly investigated.
City Attorney O. D. Eby expressed the
opinion that it could be used for this
purpose as it was held to be intended
for xmunicipal purposes under' the
Oregon and California Railway Land
Grant decision.
Tlfe session was unaccompanied by
any oratorical outbursts, and though
a number of interested citizens were
present, none spoke upon the subject.
Two architects presented their plans,
and the vote was taken immediately.
Ballot Decision Called Off
The action will preclude the placing
on the ballot of any measures to de
cide the site.
The two plans under consideration
were drawn iby Edmund Bergholtz and
Ernst Kroner, both of Portland. Berg
holtz drew the original plans for the
McLoughlin park site which were ac
cepted by the city. His plan for the
bluff location would be an extension
of the first design to make it applic
able to the new location, and would
cost approximately $33,000, he esti
mates. It embraces a council cham
ber, auditorium, fire station, jail, vault
and the necessary city offices. Build
ings submitted by both architects
were of fire proof construction.
Mr. Burgholz, in discussing the site,
said that it furnished excellent possi
bilities for attractive landscape work
and that the stream, which flowed
down the bluff could be used for beau
tifying purposes and was an asset
rather than a hinderance.
The motion for the adoption of the'
hill site was made by Councilman
Krassig, and it was seconded by Cross
The council also inaugurated pro
ceedure for the passage of a new
wholesale trade vehicle license law to
superseed the one recently held un
constitutional by tne courts. It pro
vides the same $120 a year license fee
for all trucks other than those owned
by farmers, which deliver articles in
the city for resale. It provides a num
ber of regulations, imposed to make
the law for regulatory rather than in
come purposes. Final action is sched
uled on the ordinance at the regular
session May 3.
A resolution, giving the final offi
cial approval to the changing of the
name of the Oregon City Auto park to
Hawley Park was passed. An ordi
nance appropriating $400 in favor of
the school board, as provided in the
budget, was passed on first reading.
The funds are to aid in the purchase
of playground apparatus. Councilman
Krassig has represented the city in
cooperating with the school board on
the arrangements.
The matter of allowing the fire
truck to go outside of the Mty on calls
was discussed, and all call numbers
outside of Oregon City are to be tak
en from the alarm. The action of a
few months ago was reiterated, and
the committee on fire and water in
structed to inform the department
that they -could not leave the city
without special permission of the com
mittee. ANCIENTS HAD WATER GUAGES
Egyptian River Surveyors Enabled to
Foretell Hour of Inundation of
the River Nile.
Kilometers were among he most an
cient water gauges, and were used by
the Egyptians many centuries B. C.
Stone wells were constructed on the
banks of the Nile, and water entered
these through underground ditches.
This water rose and fell in sympathy
with the river, eiiaoling river survey
ors (government officers) to " foretell
the liour of inundation.
Marked columns oil the sides of each
ell indicated the maximum, minimum
and middle gauge : the inspectors pa
trolled the banks of the Nile and in
formed the people by means of bul
letins in advance how high the Nile
would rise and when the stream would
probably overflow its banks.
Lake Moeris, In Ixwer Egypt, was
connected with the Nile in ancient
days by one of the many canals for
which the ancient ' Babylonian and
Egyptian engineers are now famous.
This canal was equipped with sluices
and gauges, so th:it the land around
It was never flooded. If the Nile
rose, all that happened was that the
blue crystal mirror .of the lake rose
too. If the waters of the river fell,
then the lake filled them up by care
ful manipulation of its sluices and Its
own waters.
