How the Emperor of Russia Re.
warded an Untrufhfai Man.

The Emperor OF Russia, when upon
tour OF inspection in the provinces,
passed the night in the simple hut of
a toll-keeper. Before retiring he was
pleased, as head Of the church, to see
the old man take up his Bible and
read chapter. Do you read often,
my son ?" he asked. Yes, your Maj
esty, every day." Glow much OF
the Bible have you read, my son ?"
" During the past year the Old Bible,
the Old Testament and part OF Mat
thew, your Majesty" Thinking to re-
ward him, the Gar placed 500 rubles
between the leaves OF the book OF
Mark on the following morning, un-
known to the tollkeeper, whom lie
bade farewell. Several months passed
away and the Emperor returned, upon
a second tour, to the toll-taker's hut.
Taking the Bible in his hand he was
surprised to find the 500 rubles intact.
Again interrogating the toll-keeper as
to his diligence in reading he received
an answer in the affirmative and
the statement that he had fin
ished the chapter OF Luke. Ly-
ing, my son, is great SIM" re-
piled his Majesty; "give me the Bible
Till l see." Opening the book he
pointed to the money, which the man
had not seen. "Thou has not sought
the kingdom OF God, my son. As
punishment thou shalt also lose thy
earthly reward" And he placed the
rubles in his pocket to distribute after
ward to the neighboring poor.-N. Y.

Some Police Court Lawyers.

Your Honor" said prisoner in
the dock OF Police Court No. 3 yester-
day, 81 can't go on with my case !;
my lawyer is not here"
"Who is your lawyer? asked Judge
Joachimsen.
The accused gave the name OF one OF
the hangers-on of the court who knows
more about fixing cases than he
ever did about law.
"0f course" said the Judge, "you
are entitled to have your lawyer in
court, but my advice to YOU is to pro-
ceed without a lawyer. You are
more likely to have the whole truth
brought out without one than with one
and the truth may be most beneficial
to YOU"

Tas OLDEST DEMOCRAT ABOVE
THE SOD.
A CenieBnariau at Evansville. I'm.
diana, Who Has Never Scratched
That IIchct.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Aug. 1.-The old
est man in Spencer county, and per-
haps the oldest in Indiana, is now liv-
ing L...r Chrisney, Ind. His name is
BENJAMIN Moore. He was born in
Mary county, North Carolina, Decem-
Der %, 1871. This venerable pioneer
was born in one Of the most important
periods Of this Governmental the
moment when it was struggling Tor it's
existence-and is consequently older
than his Government, the same age as
the confederation OF the thirteen States,
and six years older than the Constitu-
ton OF this country. He was in his
seventh year when the first President
Of the United States was inaugurated,
and has a distinct recollection OF the
older citizens meeting and talking
about the Inauguration OF General
Washington. Mr.. Moore cast his first
vote in 1904 for Thomas Jefferson, who
was elected his second term. He re-
fers to his first vote with pride, saying
he is the only man living who voted
for Jefferson, and that he is the oldest
Democrat above the sod. He has
voted the Democratic ticket un-
scratched at every election from 1904
TO the Spring Of 1889.
The parties he has voted against are
as follows: From 1904 to 1916 the
Federalists; 1920, the Opposition;
1924. the Coalition; 1928 to 1882, the
National Republicans; 1886 to 1852,
the Wings; and against the present
Republican party since 1856. The
old gentleman says he has watched
the tariff issue since 1929, and the ma
jority Of the people has always been
on the side Of the Democratic party
on the tariff question. lie SAYS there
is no difference between Cleveland
and Jefferson ON this question.
Mr.. Moore is living with his second
wife to whom lac was welded in 1889,
and both are now making their home
with his son, who is now past rs years
Of age, but looking younger than most
men at 80. Ills youngest son is a
sprightly young man of 81 Summers,
whom the old man calls his baby.
