An Insrenions Accusation
The favorite horse of the Chinese
Emperor Tsi said a Chinese states
man died through negligence on the
part of the royal master of the horse
Thd e xperor was so enraged nt this
thai he drew his sword and would
have run the careless functionary
through the body
But the learned mandarin Yen
tse struck up the emperors sword
saying
Sire this man has not yet been
formally accused of any crime He de
serves to die but his accusation should
come first It Is the law
Well said the emperor tell mo
what he has done
Listen you rogue said the man
darin turning to the trembling master
of the horse listen to a catalogue of
your heinous offenses In the first
place you have allowed a horse to
perish that his majesty had intrusted
to your care In the second place It
Is on your account that the emperor
became so exasperated that he was
actually on the point of disgracing
himself in all his peoples eyes by
killing a man for the sake of a horse
Enough said the emperor appre
ciating the rebuke Let him go He
is pardoned

body had smashed a pane of glass in a
basement window crawled inside and
made his way up the stairs to the first
floor There hasnt been anything dis
turbed in the pantry the china closet
or the sideboard has there
No answered Mrs Ferguson
But mercy who could it have been
and what do you suppose he wanted
I suspect he rejoined clearing his
throat that I er did it myself and
that I wanted to get inside without
disturbing anybody You had all gone
to bed and I had left my latchkey in
my other trousers It will cost about
25 cents to repair the basement win

Chicago Tribune
Three Kinds of Lightning
The Etruscans of old believed that
there were three kinds of lightning
one incapable of doing any injury an
other more mischievous in its character
and consequently only to be issued with
the consent of a quorum of twelve
gods and a third carrying mischief in
its train and for which a regular de
cree was required from the highest di
vinities in the Etruscan skies Curi
ously enough modern scientific men
agree with the view that there are
three kinds of lightning but their vari
eties differ from the Etruscans The
first is known as forked lightning and
runs in zigzag lines the second as sheet
lightning because it is seen in a body
and the third as globe lightning as it
sometimes runs in the shape of a ball
The latter variety is rather slow in
moving
The Word Xice
Nice is one of the exceptional
words which have risen on the scale
and improved with age It is from the
Latin nescius and originally signi
fied ignorant To Chaucer it regularly
meant foolish wise and nothing
nice In Spensers time it still meant
effeminate From general foolishness
there was probably first a specializa
tion to foolish fussiness about trifles
Then the idea of ignorance dropped
out and the word meant particular
about details accurate It was credit
able to be a nice observer or to
show nice judgment And so in the
end the positively agreeable meaning
of today was evolved
A Savage Poison
The juice of the green pineapple is
accredited in Java the Philippines

deadly nature It is said to be the
substance with which the Malays poi

be also the finger nail poison for
merly in use among the aborigine Jav
anese women almost universally
These women cultivate a nail on each
hand to a long sharp point and the
least scratch from one of these was
certain death
The Meanest Man
The meanest man has been located
in Philadelphia He dropped a large
roll of bills on the street and a boy
who found it returned the money to

the owner put It in his pocket My
son he said benignly to the boy I
am rejoiced to see that you are guided
by lofty principles and as an earnest
of my approbation shall refrain from
charging you interest for the time you
have had my money

Hoch and Hanging
Queer Situation In Kansas Regarding
Capital Punishment The State
Executive and His Ideas
on the Subject
St y
N
n mnn or woman shall be
ed by this state while I am
governor declares Hoch of
Kansas and accordingly the
fifty nine murderers awaiting death in
Kansas prisons are much Interested in
the governors chances of re election
Not that hanging Is a political Issue in
this campaign There is no reason to
believe that Hochs opponents are anx
ious to hang anybody but the governor
has forcibly announced his position on
this Important question and those
most deeply concerned in it naturally
feel that their lease of life will be
more certain If Hoch continues In office
It is a peculiar Kansas law which
puts the responsibility of hanging cit
izens or leaving them unhung upon the
shoulders of the governor Apparently
the legislature which enacted it was
opposed to capital punishment but did
not have the full courage of its convic
tions The law provides that the gov
ernor at his discretion may issue an
order to the warden of the state peni
tentiary commanding him to hang any
duly convicted and sentenced murder
er It also provides that no governor
may be compelled to issue an order for
the execution of any convict whether
convicted in his own term or that of a
predecessor Since 1SG7 no governor
has signed a death warrant and the
census of murderers row has increas
ed until now it reaches fifty nine To
sign consistently the death warrant of
any one of them a governor would
have to order the execution of the
other fifty eight
Professional humorists as well as
murderers ought to feel deep Interest in
the Kansas campaign for Hoch has
furnished them intentionally or inad
vertently with some of their best copy
Just before the convention which nom
inated Governor Hoch met his enemies
startled the country with the charge
that the governor had attempted to kiss
by force and against her will and con
sent the wife of ex Governor Stanley
He was hailed as Hoch der Kisser
and It looked for the moment as if the

ridicule of the irreverent might rob
the governor of the nomination but
Hoch declared that the story was a
gross exaggeration of an innocent inci
dent and Mrs Stanley subsequently
corroborated him
Governor Hoch isexuberantly express
ive in his language and in a message
to the senate last winter stirred up the
temperance element of his constituency
to a hot pitch until he explained that he
had used certain words in a Pickwick
ian sense Set em up was the of
fensive expression It is said to be a
formula well understood by those who
frequent places of liquid refreshment
A senator had absentmindedly caused
a bill to be passed twice and the gov
ernor in sending back the superfluous
bill suggested that the senator set em
up The senate thinking such lan
guage unbecoming in the mouth of the
governor of a prohibition state passed
a resolution of inquiry requesting the
governor to explain what he meant In
a message in response to this resolu
tion the governor said This expres
sion used playfully and without any
particular meaning seems to have
caused the emaciated corpse of the
Democracy of Kansas to sit up and
take notice If the angel Gabriel were
to blow a blast upon his trumpet the
Democrats would sleep onfundisturbed
but if he were even to whisper the
magic words set em up from the en
tire aggregation headed by the talented
and handsome senator from Atchison
would come the answer in swelling
tones We will have the same
Not long ago Hochs own paper the
Marion Record took advantage of his
absence on state business to tell a story
of his experience in the grasshopper
days of the Record Hoch had been
messing around the press and needed
a bath A can of concentrated lye was
handy and the embryo editor thought
that if It would take the dirt off type
It would take it off the typesetter so
he put some in his bath water The
governor is thick skinned the Record
said In continuing the story but the
lye worked through in time He had
heard that it was no use to kill a He
but he concluded that that lye was not
committing suicide but murder so he
rushed to his office to write his obitu
ary But he survived and the obituary
was never published
The Caacrta Camellia Tree
In the days jf Its glory the palace at
Cnserta of the king of Naples had
among Its features a so called English
garden made in 1782 by order of Marie
Caroline of Austria It was bright with
flowers and wonderful rare oriental
plants and trees so that It was re
nowned throughout the world but the
crown and glory of all consisted In a
camellia tree a plant then unknown
5n Europe The seeds were collected
as though flakes of gold and the queen
used to give them and cuttings of this
camellia as presents to her friends
These cuttings were most hlghlyprized
and thus It has become a European
flower so much so that the exporta
tion of camellias Is an extensive Indus
try In central Italy and In Germany
there are vast fields of them In its
palmy days the Caserta plant had eight
branches the largest of which was
twelve inches In diameter the whole
being thirty feet high This mother
plant was In a flourishing condition up
to a few years ago but lately the gor
geous garden has been allowed to fall
Into decay and with It the glorious

Rewards of Literature
A very talented and well known
writer successful too in the popular
estimation tells me I know a man
who spent fifteen years leisure In get
ting the material for his best book and
writing it over three times then offer
ed It to almost every publisher in
America meeting with refusal by all
and finally sold it to a London pub
lisher for 50 had it republished in
America some years afterward got a
few dollars before the publishers fail
ed and as his last royalty received
just 2 cents which was exactly 10 per
cent of the last sum due him I am
the man but I dont publish the fact
nor feel inclined to brag about it nor
to complain for that would be useless
and would only cheapeu my wares in
the literary market The book paid
me by accurate calculation 33 cents
a week for the fifteen years work

Birds Have Favorite Plants
Like man birds have their favorite
plants It has been discovered that the
goldfinch is passionately fond of apple
blossom This may be because its fa
vorite building site is in the lichen
covered forks of apple trees but apart
from such attachment the bright little
finch frequently spends hours tearing
the petals into tiny fragments Though
the nightingale never builds in the
thorn boughs it loves to sing on may
laden branches often in the very midst
of the fragrant blossoms It is some
what peculiar that most birds avoid
the cow parsnip owing no doubt to the
unpleasant greenish smell emitted by
this umbelliferous plant Small birds
very often build in less secure places
but the parsnip gigantic and strong as
it is is left severely alone London
Opinion
What Makes the Trout Shy
The shyness of the summer trout of
the still springhole is due not entirely
to his keen eye trained by the quietude
of transparent waters It is to be cred
ited more to his gregariousness The
cool places and deeper pools of the
trout stream are apt to be few and hive
the fish in schools If the school num
ber say fifty fish it means a hundred
watchful eyes and a collective shyness
adjusted to that of the most timid fish
of the fifty whose sudden dash to safe
ty gives the warning signal to all A
single nervous trout and there are
usually several is thus enough to scat
ter a big school in a flash and bailie the
hopes of the angler Clarence Doming

Tobacco Leaves
A scientist writes The essential
quality for which tobacco is smoked or
chewed lies not really in the leaves
themselves but is contained in thou
sands of hollow knobbed hairs which
cover their surface The vital nicotine
is garnered in these pear like balls but
as it is impossible to shave off these
hairs and would be a scarcely com
mendable achievement if it could be
undertaken it becomes necessary to
preserve the whole foliage for com
mercial purposes

The Best Guaranty of Merit
Is Open Publicity
Every bottle of Dr Pierces world
famed medicines leavinc the great labo
ratory at Buffalo N Y has printed
upon its wrapper all the incredients
entering into its composition This fact
alone places Dr Pierces Family Medi
cines in a class all by themselves They
cannot be classed with patent or secret
medicines because they are neither This
is why so many unprejudiced physicians
prescribe them and recommend them to
their patients They know what they
are composed of and that the ingredients
are those endorsed by the most eminent
medical authorities
The further fact that neither Dr
Pierces Golden Medical Discovery the
great stomach tonic liver invigorator
heart regulator and blood purifier nor his
Favorite Prescription for weak over
worked broken down nervous women
contains any alcohol also entitles them
to a place all by themselves
Many years ago Dr Pierce discovered
that chemically pure glycerine of proper
strength is a better solvent and preserv
ative of the medicinal principles resid
ing in our indigenous or native medi
cinal plants than is alcohol and further
more that it possesses valuable medicinal
properties of its own being demulcent
nutritive antiseptic and a most efficient
antifennont
Neither of the above medicines con
tains alcohol or any harmful habit
forming drug as will be seen from a
glance at the formula printed on each
bottle wrapper They are safe to use and
potent to cure
Not only do physician prescribe the
above non secret medicines lamely but
the most intelligent people employ them
people who would not think of using
the ordinary patent or secret medicines
Every ingredient entering into the com
position of Dr Pierces medicines lias
the strongest kind of an endorsement
from leading medical writers of the
several schools of practice No other
medicines put up for like purposes has
any such professional endorsement
Dr Pierce Pleasant Pellets cure con
stipation Constipation is the cause of
