A Parade of Treasured Curiosities.
A band of curiosities, each
one more wondrous than the
last, marched out on parade at
Miller's store this morning.
Ben Wofinski, traveling out
ot St. Louis for .the A. Giecel
Manufacturing Company, open-
ed Che ball by showing a postal
card containing 2853 words
written upon it with a pen. The
card was ot regulation size and
the writing was easily legible.
jTbis looked like it ought to
capture a trick in the game of
curiosities, but Julius Miller
went one higher by btinging tp
light a copy of the Vicksburg

Bonus yours agj there rams to Wash-

from Iowa who wa* anardeut cham-
pion of tbe eaune of prohibition.
Otic (lay a friend fr-mi boat* dropped
In to *i-e the congressman. During the
course of hi* *Uy he had occasion to
n»« his pocketknlfe, which the repre-
sentative much admired. Thu knife
had, In It a book, "designed.'' so the
friend said,. “to remove atones that
mtgbt become fastened In a horse's
hoof on a rooky road " Finally, seeing
the Intense admiration of the congress-
man for the knife, the friend gave It to
him. When the statesman had reached
home and bad shown the gift to his
wife she laughed.
“John." said she. “any man who ha*
aerv.-d three terms fn the state senate,
been lieutenant governor and bad two
terms la congress must 1m» n pretty
food uinn If be doesn’t know a cham-
pagne opener from a hoof cleaner.”
Somehow the story got out and was
copied by nearly every newspaper In
Iow a One day the -congressman met
the newspaper man whom be under-
stood to be the author of the first sijulb
In the matter.
“You did me a great service," smil-
ingly said tlie representative to the
correspondent. “All the prohibitionists
are taking my wife's view of my Ig-
norance, and nil the 'antis' are Insist-
ing that I’m a devil of a gtvxl^fellow
for Imposing so successfully on my

THE AMBER HARVEST.
A DYED BEARD.
It Pr»b»Mr rtinna*,! the History *1
• hr Whole llnmnn Itaer.
The most striking case In history of
tho Importance of trifles Is furnished
by the story of Musu, the leader of the
Moslem host which won from Christen-
dom In three and a half years domin-
ions which It took the soldiers of the
cross twenty generations to win back.
He had a red beard. This was a trifle.
Musa, though a very great general,
was n very vain man, and he dyed his
beard black This wss another trifle.
One of his captains chaffed him on the
Subject, and Musa forthwith had hltn
stripped and scourged. For this, at
the very height of his conquering ca-
reer. Musa was recalle^ by the caliph
and disgraced. This made It Impos-
sible for .him to command the Moslem
army at the battle of Tours, on tho Is-
sue of which, as all historians agree,
the destinies of Europe and perhaps of
the whole human race depended.
It Is almost certain that If the genius
of Musa had replaced the Incompetence
of the half dozen tribal leaders whose
dissensions made victory Impossible
the forces of Islam would have Joined
bands from the west to the east and
inclosed Europe In their grasp.-Lon-
don Standard.

In other parts of the coast divers go
crawling on the bottom of the sea for
the lumps of amber hidden In seaweed
and under rooks. It Is believed that
once a great pine forest flourished here
where the great billows roll and that
mu her Is tile gum emded from the
trees, of which not a vestige remains.
The finds are very variable. The lur'
gest piece known, weighing eighteen
pounds. I* in the Royal museum in Ber-

grains of sand. The larger pieces are
found Joinund in rocks or in tangle* of
