"WINDY BOB"
A Caustic Review Of the Great

Who Knows Him.

The following plthy exposition tf the
character of Robert G Ingersoll, appeared
in yesterdays Kansas City Times:
"You Kansas City people are making .
great fuss about Ingersoll," said an Official
Of . leading railroad yesterday. 81 have
known the infdel these thirty years. and
therefore am not 80 enthusiastic over his
efforts against Christianity rs some people

"What have you against him1

man, but he amounts to nothipg-abso-

every day, and had IN opportunity to ie m
his traits, and it 70 no exsggeratien when
say he was . perfect laughing stock"
'Col. Ipgersoll laughing stock?"
"Why, certainly. Though he was SOL

rebel, and the only thing that protected
him from the summary vengeance of his
comrades Vas his uniform. Iasersoll was

"And you think Mr.. Ingersoll has his
eye on filthy lucre?"
There is no doubt of it, and I should
not be at all surprised-though you can't
tell what Bob Ingersoli il going to do-if

FORCE OF HABIT.

That the force of habit is strong up
on US needs nothing more than criti-
cal examination of our daily lives the
waking in the morning, the hunger of
the meal time. the taking up of the
little threads which constitute the
warp and wool of the day. Neither
do We do these things because we have
brought from thought a motive; it is
voluntary on our part andIresults alone
from habit. And while this is certain
ly true it only proves the more conclu-
sively that our habits should be
formed on q plane that is free from
anything that would either degrade or
injure Us either physically or morally.
Who among us has easily lost the trick
of laughter or speech which belonged
to our earlier yearsi Sometime when
We are least expecting it, habit over
takes us which long ago dwelt with US

able to close his eyes in slumber when
it 80 happened that she was called

FRUIT OR FLOWER.

When orchards smile. and our gardens bloom
In r liubnw beauty from day to day,
And ver,lant leaiet and nodding plume
Keep time - music the breezes play,
How sweet the bower
When sun and shower
Unfold the bud and reveal the flower!
Along the meadows in cleaning lines
From year to year Is the promise writ;
Tasscl- ana ten'lrils OF cinging vines
Are never weary proclaimng il;
As bells in the tower
Toll forth the hour.
They herald the fruit that follows the flower.
We may watch and wait. but can hasten not
The sweet frtiition our hearts desire,
Nor gather the grape OF the apricot
Until they are fed with the MONDAY fire;
Though the fields we scour,
We have M power
To harvest the fruit that is still in flower
But when the orchards are pink and white,
And all the meadows are green and gay,
In the promise given we tike delight,
And breathe the fragrance that comes in
May.
Nor ask for the dover ..-st
OF ripper hour.
For the perfect fruit in the time of flower.

BRITISH LAW OF TREASON.


most rare in modern times, and the
whole subject is invested with singu-
lar interest even for the general read
ing public. From the beginning of the
common law treason was recognized
and punished as crime, the cause of
the crime always being some act of hos
tility against the Crown by some one
owing allegiance to it.. With an I'M
written law and corrupt or subservient
Judges. it may readily be imagined
what bloody injusticeS We're possible.
The laws of Alfred declared that if any
man plotted against the King. either
himself or by harboring eXiles, he,
should be liable in his life and all his
possessions. During the two centuries
that followed the conquest, however,
trials for treason were rare, and the
literature of the subject is scanty. The
King being merely regarded as sort
of PremierBaron, and there be-
ing no difficulty in finding
flaw in his title, reasonable enterprises
We're frequent; per contra, when
those engaged in such enterprises came
to grief, they were got rid of without
excessive Formally. William de Braose, I
when King John invited HIM to send
his son as a page to Queen Isabella,
hesitated. and his wife declared that
she would never trust her child in the
hands of man who had murdered his
own nephew. The result was that the
whole family, having vainly fled to the
Irish wilds, was shut up in a room in
the tower ard starved to death. The
punishments varied. but we're often
barbarous. The Barons under Mortimer
and Isabella hanged lie lDespencer and
burned out Edward II. s bowels with
red-hot iron introduced through cows
horn. The Norsemen had an interest \
ing way of insinuating an adder into a
prisoners stomach in a similar fashion,
while Edward III when he caught
Mortimer, his mothers paramount, mere
ly hanged him., In the twenty-tifth
