November Is from the I,atln novem,

was coming out. and pushed It along

and did not proclaim any Thanksgiv-

ebrated over his head
A fond farewell, thou lovely fall,

rattles on the wail, and the flowers
are succumbing The wild goose
wedges down the sky. with Boreas to

Wherever hungry people sit,
And see that credit shall redound
To everybody claiming it.
The doughty little Balkan states
will measure courage with the Turks,
and keep the harvester of dates at-

make him pile his blooming rugs as
high as iiaman for defense, and we'll
be picking out the slugs a year or such
a matter hence.
The only damage to accrue will be
to fill the rugs with lumps, and buy-

Mysterious footprint* In the solid
rock on tha east and waet banks of
tha Hudson at Croton. N. T, have
puisled the scientists, who believe
than to have been made by a primeval
man before tha Stone Age. On tha

man had walked down the hill and

crucible. Every toe la elearly defined, ]
and Judging from the mold he left In
the granite the foot of thla ancient
man waa both large and shapely. Be-
hind the footprints, all the way to tha
top of the rock, are a series of pecu-
liar Indentation* such as tha link* of a
heavy chain would make on soft earth.
Exactly opposite, on High Tar moun-
tain, on the other side of the Hudson,
the footprints again appear on the
rock, but with the heels turned toward
the river, aa if the man waa traveling
away from it due west By actual
measurement the footprint* on both
sides of the river correspond In ev-
ery particular and were undoubtedly
made by the same pair of feet
Many weird and wonderful legend*
have been read from the footprint* In
tha rock. One of theae attributes
them to the devil, who waa chained up
In Connecticut for a number of years,
but finally escaped and fled into New
York. Dragging his chain after htm,

borative evidence of the truth of this
tale. Another story relate* that a cave
man was approached from the rear
by a terrible many-legged aerpent aa

waa so frightened he leaped clear
across the Hudson aad landed on the
other side. The Indentations are sup-
posed to have been*'made by the aer-
pent'* legs, which were in a row, oaa
behind the other, Indian file.
A famous professor on first viewing
tha footprints advanced the theory
that they were made by the "missing
Ilak" before he shed hie eaudal ap-
pendage, which trailed la the prehis-
toric clay behind bin while be scanned

TALLEY
Devil's Rock, and Croton people point
to the strange fact that nothing will
grow in the unholy footprints, while
the surfSce of the rock elsewhere Is
covered with gray-green lichens and
thick moas. The Mohegans, who built
thelr slgnal fires on the top of Hessian
Hill before the first tHitch trader set-
tled there to give rum and firearms
for furs, regarded the giant boulder
with deep veneration, and believed
the footprints to have been made by
the Qreat Spirit when he created the
world.
Speculation on His Demise.
Friends of Massenet say that the
great composer had a presentiment of
hla approaching death and liked to
speculate on the way In which the
news would be received. This Is
born* out by his memoirs, which he
had Just completed, for one of the
later pages bears the following entry:
"One evening paper, perhaps two,
thought it better to Inform their read-
ers that I was dead. At dinner-time
soma people who knew me talked
about the event. A few word* were
mentioned about it during the day,
and in the theater* la the evening.
'OkI he is dead!' aald one. 'Then
there wont be so many of hla plays
performed In future.' And my adul
waa listening to all the noise of the
city. We, my body and my soul, were
parting. As the hearse was going
along the noise diminished, and I
knew, inasmuch as I had t*k?n the
precaution to have my vault come
time before, that when the heavy
atone la sealed up it will be closing
the door of forgetfulaeea."
Bartender Made a Guesa.
According to a Cincinnati banker,
who livaa at the Plan hotel In New
York, an English guest at that hostel-
ry waa recently presented with a
bunch of handsome rosea. He took
them to felt uailiae&UJAd. found no
suitable receptacle. So he placed
them on the table and wrapped them
In a wet newspaper while waiting for
the boy to answer the bell. When
the youngster came the Briton said
"Bring me~aw—a rose Jar." The
boy aaluted and went away. After a
lapse of time he returned. "Beg par-
don, air," said he, "but what was It
you wanted He didn't understand."
"I want a roee Jar—aw " said the
Englishman very distinctly. "A rose
Jar—aw. Quite so." The boy went
away again. In due time he returned
bearing something In his hand. "The
bartender," said he, "thinks mebbe
you've got mixed on the names of
theee American drinks. He says he
thinks you meant a mint Julep."

- Thar* are, however, other juUjort-
ties who are less Inclined to advocate
the extreme measure of a rebelltoua
and insubordinate husband Indeed,
on this side of the Atlantic, there are
prominent physicians who do not hesi-
tate to say that we have men naggers
who are as bad as the worst woman
who ever swore to love, honor and
nag the meekest of males. These ex-
perts put most of the trouble, which-
ever the nagger's sex, on plain every-
day "nerves." That is the way such
cases are regarded by Dr. Charles 8.
Potts, professor of neurology at the
Medico-Chlrurgical college of Philadel-
phia.
"It !s hard to say which sex be-
comes the more Irritable under pro-
longed nervous strain," declares Prof.
Potta. "Men can be mighty cranky,
especially to their subordinates in the
business world, when they are wor-
ried and run down. There are prob-
ably thousands of employes in the
United States who can name men
bosses who are confirmed naggers —
worrying, wearying, overnlce, perse>
cutlng and annoying taskmasters who
appear to take delight In continual
faultfinding. Well, some of them are
born that way, as some women are
naggers by inherent disposition. But
the majority of tbem, like the majority
of women naggers, are Just unfortu-
nates whose own worries and inner
discomforts are reflected in their atti-
tude toward those about tbem. Apart
from those who happen to be born
with bad dispositions, it Is the nerv-
ous exhaustion of life that predisposes
women, as well as men, to nagging."
. Unci* Joe'* Divination.
One summer, ia the back woods ot
Missouri, where I had accompanied
Undo Joe Cannon on a tour of tha
state stumping, a funny incident oo-
curred at the close of a speech which
the former apeaker had delivered to
a crowd of nMtks. oae ot whom ap-

Later 1n the evening I spoke to Can-

Meaning of "At Half-Mast."
Perhaps yoa have noticed that
whenever a prominent person dies, ea-
pecially If be la connected with the
government, the flags on public build-
ings are hoisted only part of the way
up. This ia called "half-mast." Did
you ever atop to think what connec-
tion there could be between a flag
that was sot properly bolated aad the
death of a great man?
Ever since flags were used In war
tt has been the custom to hava the
flag of the superior or conquering na-
tion above that of the Inferior or
vanquished. Wh#m an army found it-
self hopelessly beaten It hauled Ita
flag down far enough for the flag of
the victors to be placed above It on
the same pole Thla waa a token not
only of submission, but of respect.
Ia those days, when a famous sol-
dier died, flags were lowered out of re-
spect to hla memory. The custom long
ago passed from purely military usage
to public life of all klnda. the flag fly-
ing at haif-maat being a alga that the
