THE BANNER, FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 15, 1902,
Straw Hat Sale.
Every Straw Hat in the House to t
The Way He Held Up a Prince With
a Pitchfork.
When Edward VII. of England was
n undergraduate at Oxford unlversi-
. lie had an adventure which led a
\vs|>uper of that time to describe the
prince as a prisoner. It said that
not very far from Oxford, at a place
tilled Steeple Barton, there was a
inner named Hedges, a man of much
indeiKMidence of character, commonly
known as ‘Lord Chief Justice Hedges/
‘On one occasion the prince and his
friends were out with the South Ox
fordshire hounds, but, meeting with
indifferent sport, they resolved on rid
ing home across country. This they
did, galloping over the lands of Fnrw-
r Hedges and presently riding into his
irmyard. There they wire confront-
1 by tlie fanner himself, armed with
fork # . He closed the gates and in
formed th# party bluntly that they
iad bin'll trespassing on his ground
and trampling on his young wheat and
that lie would not allow one of them to
ive his farmyard until lie had paid
line of a sovereign for the damage
done.
They whlsi>ered that the prince
himself was of the party. ‘Prince or
no prince/ he replied shortly, ‘I’ll have
my money/ There was Untie glory to
be had by fighting a resolute farmer
armed with a fork. Th«*y therefore
made up their minds to pay, prince and
all. When he had the money in his
pocket, and not till then, ‘Lord Chief
Justice Hedges’ opened the gates and
let them go.”—PhlludelphU Times. .

A HARD HEADED FARMER.
THE WHISTLE WAS SILENT.
Why Ills New Set of Teeth Didn't
Help the Blower.
A small town In Posen, near the Sile
sian frontier, still keeps that relic of
other centuries, the night watchman
who calls the hours. One night—the
Loudon Telegraph tells this remarka
ble story—one of these watchmen, un
old worthy long in service, failed to
blow his whistle when the clock struck
the hour.
The burgomaster summoned the de
linquent to account for his negligence.
After some hesitation he declared that
his last tooth laid dropped out and
that he could not hold in his inouth the
official Hat tin whistle.
A council was called, and the subject
was gravely discussed. Finally one
of the*members said that he hail heard
of a dentist at Breslau who supplied
artiffeial teeth. After long debate tho
council appropriated money to send
the aged watchman to Breslau to get a
set of new teeth.
In due time the watchman reported
that his teeth had arrived. That night
the burgomaster sat up to hear the re
sult. To his astonishment there was
... 04 Bradfield’s F*male Regulator (»8c
no whistle at 10. nt 11 or at midnight. 05 Ayer’s Hair Vigor " ' 6Hc
The next morning he summoned the
watchman.
“You have got your teeth,” he said
indignantly. ‘‘Why do you not whistle
as before*/”
“Yes, I’ve got a new set of teeth,” re
plied the old man, ‘‘but the doctor told
me to put them In water at night.”
II*. Warn Dead.
The English papers tell this story of
nn incident In a revision court:
tain person who figured on the
register was objected to by one of the
gents on the ground that ie was dead.
The revising barrister declined to ac
cept the assurance, however, and de
manded conclusive testimony oh the
point.
•upon the agent cf the other
side rose and gflve corroborative evl-
as to tho decease of the gentlo-
man In question.
“And pray, sir, how do you know the
man’s dead?” demanded the barrister.
“Well,” was the reply, “I don’t know.
It’s very difficult to prove.”
1 suspected,” returi ed the irate
barrister. “You don’t know whether
«ir not.”
rrlster glanced triumphantly
around the court, ills expression grad-
underwent a change as the wit-
oolly continued:
as saying, sir, that 1 don’t know
iat lie Is dead or not, but I do
this -they burled liim about
on suspicion.”

Mote
Donkey
here are two classes o:' donkeys in
k 1 co—one with four feet and the
other with two. Each is a kind of
competitor of the other. Sometimes
they are partners. They are both
rers of burdens and the subjects of
brutality. Everywhere you see the
donkey loaded down with sacks of ore,
baskets of dirt, cans of milk, sacks of
water, and you find his driver very
often loaded in the same way. These
combinations sometimes go two by
two, and sometimes there will lie
band of ten to fifty thus loaded, com
ing down the mountains with ore
charcoal or wood, corn or whatever
may be needed In the villages or cities.
It is indeed n mediaeval life in middle
and southern Mex
The Wny of the Frontier.
Tin* way of civilization In a new land
passes comprehension. Its motto seems
to he “Ruin first; there hi time after
ward to save.” Civilization Is a good
deal like* a wild, full blooded boy—it
must first sow wild oats, waste Its pat
rimony, disgrace Its antecedents; then
It Is ready to begin the serious work
of life. That has been the history of
the range country—swift ruin for thir
ty or forty years, with a resulting
wreck that It will require a century of
hard work, perseverance and seif con
trol to save.—Ray Stannard Baker in
Century.
Siamese Tobacco.
The best tobacco in Siam Is grown nt
Fetehnbun. It is planted in open fields
near the town after the floods in Sep
tember or October, and the first crop,
or tips, which Is considered the best
quality, is gathered about February
and the last about the beginning of
May. The very best quality cannot be
purchased, as it is reserved for the
special use of the king and sent dow
to Bangkok, w here it is smoked In the
palace and distributed to the chief of
ficers of state.

An Old Welnh Custom.
Tho klmlliug of bonfires ou hills l.s
the simplest of celebrations at any
time. The Druids made four great
fires at their festivals In February,
May, August and November. Wales
seems to have been a country espe
cially tenacious of this custom. Each
family used to make Its own fire, and
as It was dying out each member
would throw a white stone into it, the
stones being marked for future iden
tification. Then all said their pray
ers and went to bed, and in the morn
ing tin y tried to find all the* stones
ngain. If any stone was missing, it
betokened that the owner of it would
die within a year.
Some superstitions are pretty and
picturesque and attractive; this was
one of the many which were cruel as
well as picturesque, it would take but
a slight accident to cause a fright that
might be actually dangerous to a su
perstitious person, and It would not
be hard for an enemy of such a per
son to cause that fright by stealing
his stone from the fire.

London's Sewer llunlere.
The Iaondon sewer hunter before
commencing operations provides him
self with a bullseye lantern, a canvas
apron and a pole some seven or eight
feet in length, having an Iron attach
ment at one end somewhat in the
shape of a hoe. For greater conven
ience the lantern Is Invariably fixed to
the right shoulder, so that when walk
ing the light Is thrown ahead and
when stooping Its rays shine directly
to their feet. Thus accoutered they
walk slowly along through the mud,
feeling with their naked feet for any
thing unusual, at the same time rak
ing tin* accumulation from the walls
and picking from the crevices any ar
ticle they see.
Nothing is allowed to escape them,
no matter what Its value, provided it
Is not valueless. Old Iron, pieces of
rope, tiones, current coin of the realm
and articles of plate and Jewelry—all
Is good fish which comes to the hunt
er’s net.—Chambers’ Journal.

and forced to a humiliating peace.
The Peking Gazette, the official organ
of the government, however, reported
the following concerning that treaty of
pence:
“As the western barbarians have ad
mitted their wrongs and humbly so
licited for peace, the emperor in his
Infinite goodness has granted their
prayer and, moreover, has made them
a present of a large sum of money (In
demnity of war) to enable them to be
gin an honest life, so that they may
not again be driven to murder and
rapine.”
