THE TWO TERRITORIES. The Joke That Failed. An Tola man who recently returned from a trip 'presented his wife with a beautiful set of diamond earrings which he said cost him $500 They were paste and bad cost him the magnificent sum of $2.50. He thought it was, a good joke on his wife. The dear woman never "let but the next time shewent away she took the gems to an expert and asked him how much they were worth.

He told her, whereupon she. ordered a set of the i eal thing and asked that the bill be sent to her husband. The bill was $E00 and the man paid it without a wcrd. But he will not play any more jokes on his wife for a while. Kansas City Journal.

Kemarkable Exhibit the Washington Exhibit at Portland.

A cross section cut from a fir tree thirteen feet in diameter forms the floor an office of tree furniture which has attracted a great deal of attention in the Washington state building at the Lewis and Clark exposition. The big tree from which the thirteen-foot 5jecticn was cur grew in Snohomish county, Wash. The cross section Is about a foot thick, with the upper surface polished, so that it makes an excellent floor. On it are several other cross sections of smaller trees, which do service as chairs. They are of cedar.

Some of the stumps thus utilized are cut off and polished -o form stools, while others have been so carved, as to make a coimfortable chair with a back. The oddest feature of this exhibit is a typewriter desk made of a single fir log standing on end. The log forms a cylinder about four feet high and three feet thick with a polished top. One side has been cut away underneath so that there i3 plenty of room for the stenographer's knees. In another part of the Snohomish section a log six feet la diameter has been used to make a seat.

The log has been carved so that a post a foot in diameter is left in the center to form a back, and the effect is similar to that produced when a seat is built around a tree. Why the Japanese Smile. It is strange that a people whom until recently we have looked upon as barbarians should possess so many more signs of cultivation than we. A love of beauty and symmetry seems to be inherent in the breast of every Japanese, while it seems peculiarly lacking in most Americans. That is, if our cities and public buildings the outward sign of the inward spirit "The world is too much with us, late and soon.

Getting and spending, we lay was our powers; Little we see in nature that is The Japanese expend but they certainly never lay waste their powers. They have learned that the secret rf power lies in1 self control. They life or death with the same equanimity. Lafcadio Hearn, a man who lived for years among the Japanese and oro-ably understood them as well as any Westerner can understand the Oriental, said that "to the Westerner the smile of the Japanese is incomprehensible. He smiles on all occasions, nc matter what his feelings he smiles." As a nation we are nervous, excitable and high strung." To express a fealing as soon as we have it seems only the proper thing.

If a man is self-controlled we call Mm cold. If he isn't rushing at some kind of work we think he is not making the most of his opportunities. We have so much to do that we haven't time to do anything thorougn- iy. We all hurry at our tasks. The Japanese never hurry.

We are all rushing at sudh speed that we haven't time to stop and enjoy the beauties all about us. We haven't time to smile. The bicycle and the automobile race are becoming the American face. And we learn jiu jitsu from the Japanese when we might be learning tno secret of their smile. REPORTING M'K IN LEY'S How the Associated Press Worked to Give the World the News.

On the afternoon of September 6, 3901, worn out by a long period of exacting labor, I sat out for Philadelphia with the purpose of spending a few days at Atlantic City, When I reached the Broad street station in the Quaker City ,1 was startled by a number of policemen crying my name. I stepped up to one, who pointed to a boy with an urgent message for me. President McKinley had been shot at Buffalo, and my presence was required at our Philadelphia office at once. A message had "been sent to me at Trenton, but my train had left the station precisely two minutes ahead of its arrival. Handing my baggage to a hotel porter, I jumped into a cab and dashed away to our office.

I -remained there until dawn of the following morning. The opening pages of the story of the assassination were badly written, an(J I ordered a substitute prepared. An experienced reporter stood beside President McKinley in the Music hall at Buffalo when Czolgosz fired the fatal shot He seized a neighboring telephone and notified our buffalo correspondent, and then pulled out the wires, in order to render the telephone a wreck that it was a full half hour before any additional details could be secured. I ordered competent men and expert telegraph operators from Washington, Albany, New York and Boston to hurry to Buffalo by the fastest trains. All that night the Buffalo office was pouring forth a hastily written, but faithful account of the tragedy, and by day-bieak a relief force was on the ground.

Day by day, through the long vigil while the President's life hung in the balance ircident was truthfully and graphically reported. In the closing hours of the great tragedy false reports of the President's death were circulated for the purpose of influencing the stock market to counteract them.

i tasnno BUY THE Chauncey vs. Whitelaw. One of the best of the stories told cf Whitelaw Reid, the dignified journalist-publicist, and the new ambassador to the court of St. James, goes bac-K to the campaign of '92, when the editor of the New York Tribune was the vice uresidential candidate upon the republican ticket An immense mass had been arranged at Carnegie hall all the leading republicans in the east were scheduled to appear; Reid among them, his bos on the second tier chancing to be directly beneath that which had been set aside for Chauncey Depew. Au Mr.

Reid entered the house the tumult of applause broke forth. He bowed to the welcome, courtly, graceful, but above all else dignified. The cheering continued, and he bowed again. Still the crowd kept up its tumult and a third time he bowed, now waiming up a little, and as his recognition of the applause did not seem to lessen it, he stepped to the ront of the box as if to speak. Instantly an uproar of laughter swept over the hall.

Instantly the distinguished candidate for vice president froze up. The laughter increased. Anger supplanted bewilderment then in Mr. Reid's handsome face, and this grew to the boiling point as scmeone cried: "No! No! Reid! Reid! Reid!" The applause swept up into new life, but, with the calls for, him. Mr.

Reid could distinctly hear yells of laughter and turning, he started to leave the box. At that psychological second appeared a breathless committeeman: "They want you on the platform, Hr. Reid," he gasped. Then what under heaven are they laughing at?" Why, it's all a mistake. Depew's got the box above you, and wher.

the welcome to you broke out, he though crowd meant him. He's so used to the limelight, you know. He hasn't found out the' mistake yet he's still bowing and smiling but someone's gone up to tip him off." Then the Reid dignity melted at last he joined with the heartiest in the laugh that went up to the vhird titr where a mau was seen talking to 'the only Chauncey." Zcbrullas. At the Cincinnati zoo are three zeb-i alias, the oniy ones this country. The zebrulla Is a cross between a zebra and a horse, or a cross between a zebra and a donkey.

The zoo has one of the former, two of the latter hybrid. The zebrulla is the result of German army officers stationed in Africa seeking to get a horse that can stand the deadly attacks of the African jungle files, pests that the ordinary horse succumb to, thereby making a cavalry fcrce in interior Africa an Impossibility. It is believed the zebrulla has solved the problem. About the height of the zebra, it possesses the thick which nakes the zebra impervious to the attack of flies. At the sane time the hybrid has the virtues of the horse and the donkey, gentleness, patience and ability to work.

Scientists who wonder how the world came to lose knowledge of tne powerful machinery that must have been used to construct the pyramMs of Egypt and the equally great stone structures that are now covered by the tropical forests of Yucatan find food for thought the more recent loss consequent on the death of Professor Rowland, of John HopKms University. It is probable that some concerted effort will be made by the great educational institutions of this country and Europe to prevent any similar loss to science and provide that in case of tne death of anyone who holds the secret of a process of great value to humanity, the results of a life time of labor may remain for those Who carry on the work. In certain spectroscopic work it js necessary to use a concave mirror engraved with parallel lines, so fine -hat there are sometimes nearly One hundred thousand to the inch.

Professor Rowland invented a machine for engraving these lines. This maculae contained a screw with a thread of a finess never before known, and which had to be ground under water by a process known only to the professor and his head mechanic For years they divided this priceless secret and furnished machines to the whole world, until one day Schneider, the mechanic, At once Professor Rowland started to teach the secret process to' another man, nut before (he had imparted all steps of the process he himself died, leaving the method of manufacture only partly known. All attempts thus far to complete the process have been unsuccessful, and the scientific world eagerly awaits final assurances whether the secret has been lost, and proposes to take steps to prevent similar circumstances. They point out that in the absence of sudh an instution. as the German Reichsanstalt, which makes available to the nation the inventions of the great scientists who compose its staff, the colleges and universities of the English-speaking world ought to make some arrangement by-which the work of their great investigators cannot be lost It is now reported that Mrs.
