aid. At one house he asked the good
woman for a cup of coffee. She refused
his request and called the police to ar
rest him as tramp. He was sentenced
to thirty days imprisonment, butbefore
its expiration escaped and went to his
New Jersey home and found some work.
But the Connecticut justice pursued him
there, and dragged him from the arms
of his weeping and needy wife and
child back to the land of steady habits,
to serve out his old term and an added
one for his escape. Of course, it was
all in accordance with law, but it was
no less inhuman. For the man who
trampS because he won't work, there
may be small charity, but, as rule, the
tramp becomes such through inability
to obtain employment, and grows to
prefer the vagabond habit. But it is
better to favor the unworthy at times,
than to inf1ict cruelty upon even the
few who are the victims of unavoidable
misfortune,

THE COMMON VICE.

Persons often have lying imputed to
them when they are conscious of no oc-
casion for such charges, and aim to be
truthful as matter of conscience. The
operations of the mind are mysterious,
and the laws that incite its yagaries
battle the vision. Occurrences, either
actual or imaginary, that find lodg-
ment In the mind at times assume alb
surd relations to the individual. He will
imagine that he was participant in
events that were remote from him, and
have for some reason made strong i'm
preston on his mind. A good many of
the older people in the West will re-
member the eccentric Methodist pioneer
preacher, PETER CARTWRIGHT who died
in Illinois some fifteen years ago. His
name was household word in that and
other states half-century since. In
his earlier life he could fight, as we'll
as preach. In his later years he imag-
ined he had done more knocking down
in the cause of the Lord than JOHN l..
SULLIVAN ever dreamed of. He wrote
a book reciting his adventures and por-
traying his career. 1t was highly en-
tertaining. and many of its stirring in
cidentS were founded op fact. Others
were such as he had read or heard.
and they had become so much at
home in his mind that he did not sus-
pect them TO be visitors merely, and not
home affairs. He believed he had taken
scoffers at his immersion scenes and
plunged them under water with sur
f,rtcI nd af c4n al
preaching to knock down and drag out
a bully. Just how these particular in
cidents had obtained possession of his
mind is not explained. They may have
come from dreamland, or gradually
grown out of trivial happenings. No
one would suspect the elder of conscious
alteration from the actual, but his
book was largely taken up with thrill
ing depIctionS that he had never ma
teraliZed in his career. Still. he was
not specially eccentric in this matter.
People are found every day who un-
consciously incorporate into their au-
photographers secondhand experiences
This mental trait is rather happy one,
on the whole. 1t adds to the pith and
picturesquneeSS of variations, and no
harm is done. This Elder CARTWRIGHT
had the old-tilne prejudice about ''wor-
Shipping God by machinery" An Incl
dent is recalled where he found small
organ in church be visited when he
was eighty or more years old. AS he
gave out the hymn ne looked at the
organist in the gallery and said: eff
that machine up there will keep still,
we will worship God by singing" The
organ was closed.

stand with head erect and feet together
The professor then rubbed his hands

OF the body thoroughly, so as to increase
the circulation of the blood. Walking

also toward the secretary of states
body. This gives an exercise some
thing like walking. only it brings
more muscles into activity. The motion
was repeated with the left leg. Then
both legs and both arms were also
kneaded. After this. Mr.. Blaine was
asked to sit aStride kind of stationary

leather straps. His body, entirely pas

Mr.. HALsTEAD now has the advantage
of posing as martyr to a popular
