a Tom Ochiltrec story.

A man in Texas was accused Of steal
ing "A horse, 1t is scarcely necessary to
say that Immediately there was a lynch
ing bee. At the conclusion of the enter
tainment the participants found that they
had hanged the wrong man, and the
high minded citizens who had managed
the affair were filed with remorse. They
determined that the dead mans memory
was entitled to vindication, and therefore
a committee was appointed to wait upon
the widow. They found her weeping.
The chairman, with an awkward wave
of his SLOUGH hat, said, in a somewhat
embarrassed banner Marin, we hanged
your husband, but he was the wrong
man. Marin, the joke is on us."-Phila-

With their usual enthusiasm for
art in any form, the French people
have found time, in the midst ofpolit-
zeal complications increased by the
opening of the French Parliament
to unveil q statue of Shakespeare III
the Messine square in Paris and to
listen to appropriate exercises, IN
Guiding the reading of q poem by
Monnet- Sully. The occasion is all
the more remarkable, on account OF
the traditional unappreciation OF
Shakespeare by the French. 1t has
long been q source Of amusement,
and even of chagrin, in England that
the elegant Parisians have failed to
render homage to the immortal
dramatist. With a daring uneX-
ampled, they have even taken I'M
usual liberties with his plays and
have produced the most monstrous
French versions of the great TRACE
dies. 1t is not due to their mOdesty
that they have not translated the
comedies to such an extent, but to
their interpretation of Shaksperian
humor. How many English and
American visitors have passed won
derful evenings at the performance
of play by Shakespeare translated
for the benefit Of the Partisan stage!
1t has been interesting to see Hamlet
marry Ophelia and Macbeth made
innocent and harmless; but, with all
due sympathy with the French idea
that Shakespeare introduced too
many murders, it has been hard to
recognize a well-known drama in a
French translation. Not long ago
all Paris expressed its indignation at
the Tanning of the Shrew," per-
formed by an American company.
Gallic wit, they said was refined in
essence and delicate i'll tone. The
humor of the Shakspearian drama
was coarse and even brutal, and only
illustrated the quality of the English
nature. In spite of the well-known
attitude of the critics toward Shaks-
peare, one can read from the unveil-
ing of this monument and another
previously a new literary movement
in France. Popular interest in the
great dramatist is expressed by the
throngs which attend the exercises,
by the greater demand for his works
in suitable translations and by the
the talk of the people. Shakespeare,
long kept out of France by popular
prejudice, has been admitted with I'M
usual honor, and promises to become
not only widely read but we'll under
stood.

The Wicked Compositor.

The Pittsburg Dispatch is panied to
see that the typographical error has
been getting in its fiendish work on its
religious contemporaries, one clerical
editor tried to say that a prominent
clergyman was the "Barnabas of the
Baptists," but the unregenerated COM
positor made it 'Barrabas;n while an
other who intended to declare that no
Protestant Episcopal Bishop has any
sense of humor," was Mortified to find
that he had accused those prominent
gentlemen of being without "any sense
Of honor" Under these circumstances
the religious editors would be justified
in visiting upon the compositors the
mains and penalties of excommunlca-
zion. But the uncomfortable fact re-
mains that the compositors would not
care a snap for that.

Jones of BipgllamtOn.

From the American Rural Home.
We do not know of any one whose
biographical sketch would be more
welcome to our readers than that OF
General Edward +. Jones, the pres
ent ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Of the State
or New York, but known in a bust
ness way all over the world as Jones
of Binghamton.
The oddity OF the appellation at
once strikes every one, attracting at
tention and arousing curiosity. 1t
was adopted foradvertising purposes
and has accomplished its object.
Jones Of Binghamton has secured
both fame and fortune by liberal adj
vertising. Hewas born in Utica, \. Y
June Sd, 1928, brought up in Massa
chusetts, his early youth spent on a
farm, where he acquired such tastes
that the smell of the soil and the So
ciety of farmers are still very agreea-
BILE to him. He finds relaxation from
active business and public life in at
tendance at farmers gatherings, fairs
picnics and Oranges, which lie often
addresses. This has given him a wider
acquaintance, and his Everyday"
manners" have probably secured him
more personal friends than any other
public or private citizen i'll the state.
He is one OF the early members in
New York and has been for ten years
an officer in the State Grange. His
boyhood passed without distinguish
ing events. He early went into ac-
tive life, and has always been known
as a hardworking, diligent business
man. When the war of the rebellion
broke out, he was among the earliest
volunteers, and was Colonel COM
handing the old Sixth Massachu-
sets regiment, in it's famous march
through Baltimore, the first regiment
to arrive at Washington, an to
which was accorded the credit ofsav-
ing the capitol. After the close OF
the war he left Massachusetts and
established the Jones Scale Works at
Binghamton, n. Y, where, by energy
and perseverance, he has built up
large and prosperous business, and
by a system of fair dealings has
gained the confidence and respect OF
all who know him. He is q man OF
the people.

Wrong Ideas About the Guillotine.

posed to be called, after him, nor
DR.. J. B. V. GullCtine, who did so
lose his head, nor NJ. Louis, who had

guillotine, though one or other OF
them may have recommended it per-
haps perfected it. 1t was in use in
Italy at least 200 years before their
time, as is proved by manuscript

chearfnlness an Aid to Cure.

There is a faith cure not often con-
sidered, but which is in operation and
quite as effective in its work as that
practiced by professional ''healers'' or
''metaphysicians." II is the cure
brought or assisted by the patients
faith in his doctor. Every physician
knows the desirability of inspiring this
feeling, and the best methods of es-
tablishing this confidence in persons
under his treatment are made matters
of professional study. 1t is only in
part Il question of medical skill. He
may be recognized as a man of great
knowledge and ability, and may lack
that one essen tial characteristic that
makes him welcome in every house
hold. The possession of this quality is
largely a matter of temperament, and
it's usefulness is hardly recognized by
the fortunate practitioner, though he
may conscientiously cultivate it through
knowledge of the fact that cheerfulness
is better than gloom in all the relations
of life. 1t is the gospel Of cheerfulness
that this man unconsciously teaches,
not the aggressive gayety and unsym-
pathetic jocularity that is an otfense to
an invalid and his friends, but a
brightness of spirit that makes glad
all who meet him indianapolis

A retailer says: 1T is the easiest
way in the world to win the good will
OF many females, no matter how intel
ligent. if you can make them under
stand that they are able to wear d
size under the shoe they call for. vi
course, it may not be looked upon as
an entirely square proceeding, but
then | do not see much harm in the
practice. If females will persist in be-
ing so terribly sensitive regarding the
sizes of shoes worn we retailers must
find some way to override it. 1t was
long time ago that | gave orders to
the manufacturers making the larger
numbers of my ladies shoes that L did
not want them to mark the sizes IN the

Fingers Before Forks.

1t is said that the origin Of washing
the hands before eating arose from
the fact that food at first was eaten
wholly-all around the table dipping
into one dish-with the hands. Now,
with the finger bowl, an abluti6n ends
as we'll as precedes the meal. Carving
knives, like the forks, were at first a
luxury, and as late as the close of the
fifteenth century were confined to
kings tables and those of the nobility.
Butter was not much used in England
before the Norman conquest, although
he Englishman, unlike the italian,
mad no oil for a substitute.

OSdntry Counting.

Every lad in the country, no mat
ter how lowly his occupation may
be or how small the wages he may
earn, makes it a point to own q set
of harness and buggy, says the
New York World. This anyway,
and, if possible, Il horse. 1.-The can't
get the horse, however, it doesn't
make so much difference, for he can
generally manage to borrow an
animal of some sort, either from his
employer or some neighboring farm
er. These things are absolutely
essential to the kind of counting he
does, and the only one who doesn t
enjoy it is the horse.
When Saturday afternoon comes
around the boys may be found hard
at work with Il bottle of harness pol
ish, making the horses apparel
shine for theregular Sunday turnout.
And then bucket of water and Il
sponge are brought into play, and
the buggy is made to look as bright
and chean asnew. Sunday afternoon
every thing is in readiness, and
decked out in his best suit OF clothes,
which sometimes fits him but more
often doesn't, he ties piece OF
bright ribbon on his whip, climba
into his buggy and drives off.
May be he has Il friend from some
other point stopping with him, and
in that case the friend goes along.
The latter is taken to some house
along the route where there is Il
daughter in the family She is ask
ed whether she expects any caller
or not that evening, and if the an
swer he in the negative the friend Is
introduced and left i'll care of the
Girl, who treats him just as if they
had been lifelong friends, and he in
turn does his share towards carry
ing out the presumption. He takes
tea with the family and then is
escorted to the parlor, when he and
his neW-found acquaintance are left
alone to entertain each other us
best they see fit.
In the meantime the buggy owner
has driven on to his destination.
His best girl welcomes him with
open arms. A hug, Il kiss and n
hoW-dO-ye-do comprise the saIuta,
tory, and then he goes through the
same course as the friend whom he
has left behind. After tea he goes
to the parIor and he and the object
of his admiration sit and chat to-
gether the whole night long. This
is fact, and they don't sit as city
folks do, either. They huddle to-
gether on Il lounge or sofa and,
clasped in each other arms, sit and
COO like Il pair of turtle doves. No
one is there to disturb or pmbarrass
them. The old folks have gone to
bed and the Youngsters are alone in
their glory For n time they talk
about crops and the weather and
discuss the habits of some mutual
acquaintance, and when they have
exhausted all subjects on which they
find it easy to converse they don't
go ahead and talk for the sake OF
saying something, rs city folks do,
but they remain silent and sit for
hours hugging and kissing each
other, until the break of day warns
the youth that it is time for him to
retire. Then he gives his girl part
ing kiss and hug, another for good
luck, and takes his departure.
