Iflcatlon of Mr. A. E. Ward , with when

floe of the state superintendent at th
time the new certification act was ir
auguratod makes him authority on al
questions concerning the oxamlnatioi
of teachers. He holds a state profes
slonal certificate , good for life , whlc !
Is sufficient evidence of his scholai

"I have placed In the Moody county
bank the sum of $500 to be paid by
'the officers of said bank to any per
son who will expose any unlawful act
I committed in this case and procure
my arrest and conviction therefor. I
will do more. Much has been said
about money alleged to have been of
fered to certain men in this county ,
for the purpose of bribing the jury and
to have certain men summoned for
the panel , some of which offers It Is
alleged were refused. If my first of
fer Is not taken nnd there bo any
I man or woman in this county or state
who actually knows of any person who
directly or indirectly offered or gave
any bribe to any person , officer of the
1 court , Juror or witness connected with
1 said case , and he will make complaint
to this office ; I have directed said
j bank to hold said sum of $500 as a
I guaranty to him that I will prosecute
'
to the limit any person offering such
bribe , be ho judge , Juror , doctor , lawyer -
yer , sheriff , bailiff or any other man.
(
, I never spoke to Mrs. Kaufmann In
j my life save as I addressed her In
my argument to the- , Jury In the first
trial of the case. Just what I would
have to apologize to her for I am un
able to conceive. I have never chang
ed my mind for a single Instant as to
the conclusion then reached and stat
ed to the jury. "
Attorney Blowltt states thnt he had
nothing whatever to do with the trial ,
except to glvo advice to the attor

n change of venue is taken.

HE FELL ASLEEP.
A Cur * For Intomnln and th W lrd
Effect It Produced.
Recently n friend who hnd hoard
thnt I sometimes mifYur from Insomnia
told mo of a mire cun > . "Eat n pint
of peanuts and elrluk two or three
glasses of milk before neilug to bed , "
pnld be , "and I'll warrant yeni'll bo

lit of others who may be ? nllllftcel with
Insomnia 1 fen-l It te ) be > my duty to
report what Impponcd. so far ns 1 am
able to recall the details.
Plrst lot mo say my friend was
right. I did go to sloe'p very soon after
my retlreumnt. Them n friend with
lilrt bond under hi * arm came ; nloiiK
and asked me If I wante-d to buy hi *
foot. I wns negotiating with him
when the dragon on which I was rlel-
Ing sllpicel enit of his skin and left
me floating In midair. While 1 was
considering bow I should get eleiwu n
hull with two heads poere'd eivcr tln >
edge of the wall and mild he woulil
haul me up If I would first climb up
and rig a windless for him. So as I
was sliding down the mountain nldo
tht' brakenmn came In , ami I asked
him when the train would roach my
station.
"We pnssod your station -400 years
ago , " ho said calmly , folding the train
up nnd slipping It Into his vest pocket.
At this Juncture the clown bounded
Into tuc rlnjr and pulled the center
pole out of the ground , lifting the tout
and nil the people In It up , while 1
stood on the earth below watching
myself go out of sight among the
clouds above. Then I awoke and found
I hnd been a loop almost ten minutes.

Made the Duke Feel Cheap.
The second Duke of Wellington ,
though far from bolng stingy , was In
many odd ways economical. lie discov
ered one clay some champagne which
ho considered and which doubtless
was quite ge > od enough for n ball supper -
per and which had the advnntnpo of
being extraordinarily low In price. He
ordered the quantity required nnd wns
rejoicing In bis oxrollont bargain when
on opening one of the papers he en
countered the following advertisement :
"Try our celebrated champagne at 33
shillings n dozen , an ordered by bis
grace the Duke of Wellington for his
forthcoming ball nt Apsley House. "
A Genial Greeting.
A young New York broker of con
vivial habits fell lu with an old school
friend who hnd gone on the road.
"Whenever you're In town come up
and bunk with me , " he urged bis
friend ns they separated. "No matter
what old time It Is. If I'm not thcro
Just go nhcnd nud make yourself nt
A
home. I'll be sure to turn up before
daybreak. "
Soon after this the salesman arrived
In town about midnight , and , remem
bering his friend's Invitation , sought
out his boarding house. There wns
only a dim light flickering In the hall ,
but he gave the bell a manful pull.
Presently he found himself face to
face with n landlady of grim and terri
ble aspect.
"Does Mr. Smith live here ? " he fal
tered.
"Ho does , " snapped the landlady.
"You can bring him right in ! " Every

Man Is a Free Agent.
Man Is either free or he is not free.
If he Is not free he cannot In cases of
conflicting motives choose , but must
blindly follow one of the Impulses.
But we know from consciousness that
he can decide between conflicting mo
tives. Therefore it is false thnt ho Is
not free. He must therefore be free.

ing nu Inspection made by some Amer

" 'I think you may fairly say so , sir , "
responded the warden , with a grim
