TIE plot Of the Hamilton scandal at

becomes more disgnstingly scandalous as
the days go by and the record Of the dizzy

Hamilton palmed of four bogus baby
heirs and used them to blackmail Mr..
Hamilton The first, second and third
babies died in rapid succession
and finally the fourth innocent
was living precarious life at the breast
Of the drunken Donnelly women. The
case opens the view to a low plane Of life
almost unknown to decent people and re
veals a far-reaching conspiracy Of cor
ruption which has involved a great many

vile and vicious but that she
is not alone. She has many active
assistants and advisers and many more
tacit and secret conspirators She had
no trouble in procuring four false babies.
She could have procured an indefinite

AN ELEPHANTS MEMORY.
How Wise Circus Pet Remembered q
Candy Store.

N&AOy SbOEGs
A circus travelling through the
country parts of England stopped one
day at little town called Hythe. That
night when every thing was quiet in
the tent, animals and employees all be-
ing sound asleep, Clytie, one of the
elephants, deliberately and without
any uproar broke the chain that fast
ened her foot and, leaving the tent,
started toward the center of the town.
Nobody was astir and so she had the
way all to herself.
She proceeded without delay or hesi-
tation to a little shop that stood on the
main street of the village, and finding
it closed, of course, she Immediately
forced an entrance with her enormous
head and was soon as busy an elephant
as you ever saw cramming candy and
cakes down her capacious throat. The
man who owned the shop came rum
ming in from the back room. but Clytie
did not pause in her lunch on that ac-
count, nor did she pay any more at
tention when be ran out again crying
COW! Owr' In fact, she totally disre-
garded the entire neighborhood when
they took up that cry OF ''Owl Ow!''
But pretty soon little man came up,
who cried out in a sharp voice:
Hi, there, Clytie! What dye meang
Come out o. that now, dye hearP''
And Clytie did come out, and in a
great hurry, too, for the little man was
her keeper, and she not only had
great deal of respect for him, but she
was afraid of him as well. But, after
all, she didn't care much about it, for
she had filled herself with candy and
elkes. and that was all she was after.
The most puzzling question was
how did she distinguish candy shop
from any other shop in the village9
The shopman gave the answer to this
himself; he had fed an elephant candy
at that very shop twelve years before.
and inquiry developed the fact that
Clytie was that elephant. She had re-
membered the shop-that was ALL
Our Dumb Friends.

Our devotion had been colder,
Hand in hand we had not wandered then with

We were ten: had we been twenty

A LARGE PENDULUM.
Its Swinging Proves Beyond Doubt That
"the Earth Do Move"


''the Earth Do Move"
The longest pendulum on this conti-
nent swings in the chronological school
at Atlanta, Ga. 1t is a heavy, pear
shaped piece of iron, attached to
brass wire forty-two feet long. The
upper end of the wire is pivoted in a
steel point, which rests on the centre
OF steel plate, so as to cause the least
possible friction. The swinging of the
pendulum gradually describes a circle
on the floor in direction following the
sun, showing in this that 1.-The earth do
move" Directly under the pendulum
is large circle divided into twenty
four parts, of fifteen degrees each, to
correspond with the hours of the dav.
The north pole is placed directly under
the pendulum, and the meridians of
longitude meet there. The parallels of
latitude make smaller circles inside
the first. DR.. ]. S. Hopkins, president
OF the school, who made and put up
the pendulum. performs the experiment
as follows: The iron is brought to the
edge of the circle in the meridian of
Atlanta and let swing across. Appar-
emily it goes straight across, but grad
ually it traverses the circle in the di-
rection taken by the sun and opposite
to the revolution of the earth. The
pendulum. not being directly over the
axis of the earth, does not move in
exactly the same time as the sun, but
falls behind some hours a day. It
is said that if it were at the north pole.
where it would be Immediately over
the axis, it would traverse the circle in
exactly twenty-four hours, and at the
the equator it would not traverse it at
all, for gravity would operate to pre-
vent.-Jeweler' Review.

,ering from the inclernency of the

fering from the inclelnency of the
weather.
1t was about ten o'clock in the morn
ing when started out, and by mid-aft-
ernoon l had walked at least ten miles.
and knew that l was entirely bewil-
dered. .Icouldn't keep straight course
for the creeks and swamps, and the day
was SO cloudy and the forest so dense
that there was no sighting the sun to
guide me. 1t was just five O'Clock in
the afternoon when l reached a good
sized stream, and the first thing saw
was an old house boat tied to the bank.
There was smoke coming out of a
stovepipe thrust through the roof, and
congratulated myself that | had
reached shelter and something to eat.
There was plank reaching from the
| boat to shore, and | ascended it and
entered the cabin unannounced. A
white man and negro were sitting in
the rude room, and fire had Just been
klndled in the cook stove. There was
door at the other side of the boat.
1t stood wide open, aud the instant the
men caught sight of me both sprang
for the door. In the rush they bumped
into each other and both rolled to the
floor. The white man was the quicker
of the two, and while | stood looking
and wondering he scrambled up and
flung himself into the water and swan
to the opposite shore.
'Doan't shoot! For de Lawd's sake
doant kill mel" yelled the negro as he
rolled over and over on the floor.
"What does this mean?' demanded.
sit means dat l surrendersr' he re-
piled.
VERY WELL Now sit up and tell
who you are and what you are doing
here
Il had to come along, boss. didn't
want to, but dey said dey would dun
kill me. !"
''Who owns this boat?"
'Why, dat Harding gang, in co'se."
"And what are you doing here?"
'Dun hidin' out, s'pose."
l was so stupid that did not realize
what luck had come to me until the
negro gave it away. Then l secured
him against escape and searched the
boat, and in that old hulk l found over
$4,000 worth of dry goods, clothing,
boots and shoes, jewelry, hardware
and other stuff, the proceeds of a dozen
big robberies along the river. There
was gang of four men engaged in the
work, and the negro was their cook.
The boat was hidden away in a branch
of the White River to wait for rise of
water to get down to the Mississippi,
and three of the gang were off that day
to spot country store some seven
miles distant.
The negro and l stood guard all
night, for | soon found that 1 could
trust him, but if the fellows returned
to the neighborhood we did not see
them. Next day we got the boat down
to the mill, which was hardly four
miles away, and from thence she was
taken to Clarendon and the goods re-
turned to their owners, as far as pos
slble. The robbers were all identified
by name and person by the negro, and
within few weeks we're either cap
tured and sent to prison or run into the
swamp and shot DOWN.. Y. Sun.
