1 Some Reportorial Experiences with I'm
sophisticated Tourists IN q City.
/ The newspaper man who writes up
the hotel interviews naturally meets with
all classes of people. and Of course has
| some ridiculous experiences.
"A few evenings ago." said one OF the
| little crowd which met at the hotel desk
| snd related their several experiences, Il

old granger from Iowa, with whom I
wanted to get an audience on the ''Origi-
| nal package question. l approached
him in the rotunda at the Sherman.

"'Yes, sir, be Mr. -, but who in
the name Of all that Is evil be you?

Yelper, and want 10 talk with You on
matters concerning the effect of the

of Iowa
Not any, stranger. was warned
by Senator - before left home to be

once and had the sarne trick played on
him, and when he went home he rode
back on the strength Of q friendship
with a conductor, for his money was
gone. See? No, stranger, L amt no

"And he moved of, and though I
called the clerks to witness that 1 was

and he positively declined to hear me.
There are men who actually tremble
when approached by Il reporter" said
another newspaper man. Il have had
them actually turn pale and ask me for
heavens sake TO spare them from an in
terview, so fearfully did they dread tho
ordeal. On the contrary, there are 9TH
ers who smile and court the notoriety.
Il few evenings ago man was a listener
to an interview, and when the operation
bad been performed he suggested that
he was a manufacturer IN a New Hamp-
shire town, and if the reporter would
mention that fact he would buy a hun
dred papers, at the same time going
down into his pocket for the money.

1t has just been discovered that the hui
man mouth has a steady motion toward
the left of the face which will, in time,
bring it some where in the neighborhood
of the left ear. Man has an invincible
tendency to eat only with the teeth that
are on the left side of his mouth. This
wears out the left teeth more rapidly
than the right teeth, and this in turn
gives the upper and lower Jaw an in
clination toward the left. 1t is the Opin-
ion Of a learned scientific person that in
the course of a few millions of years the
human mouth will have completely
changed its position, and will be situated
rather near to the left ear than to the
nose. While no fault can be found with
the train Of reasoning that has led the
scientific person to this conclusion. says
a Paris paper, he would nevertheless
possibly find it difficult to explain why
the mouth should pause when it reaches
the left ear. If the habit of chewing on
the left side of the mouth can move it a
fourth of the way around the head it is
evident that a continuance of the habit
will in time cause the mouth to make
the complete circuit of the head.
Fortunately we can save our descendants
from having mouths at the back of their
heads by resolutely eating on the right
side as well as the left side of our
mouths; but unless we do this persistent
" the march of the mouth toward the
left viii continue with all its painful
consequences.

AN IMPORTANT CASE.
From the Paola Spirit.

IIoHl Jilt Idod SpIIlJ.
1t becomes palmer every day that the
conviction of G. +. Cook and four others
for the murder of Cross and party in
No Mans Land a few years ago, was
brought about by perjury and bribery.
The case grew out of the fight of rival
towns in Stevens cOunty-HugotOn and
WOodsdale. There had been running
fueds and fights between the town site
owners as to which should be the county
seat. There was shooting now and then
in the ordinary wild and woolly western
way till finally Sheriff Cross, in follow
ing the supposed law-breakers outside of
the state line, met a summary death.
c. f. Cook and friends were arrested
and finally sent to Paris, Texas. for trial
in the United State district court, which
it was decided had jurisdiction over
the territory where the dead men We're
found. The trial resulted in conviction.
but it i plain now that the nOtO-
rious old Sam Wood had hand in the
procuring Of sworn statements that
brought about the verdict of guilty.
This fact alone is enough to establish the
innocence of the accused. The con-
demned men are citizens Of Kansas who
have always borne good names and We
have watched the case with no small de-
gree Of interest, because we knew the
character of Sam Wood, the opponent of
Hugoton, where Cook lived, hoping that
mercenary motives could not be made
the instruments Of torture even unto
death.
We sincerely hope that Captain George
r. Peck, the illustrious lawyer of To-
peka, viii be successful in pleading the
case Of the wrongfully doomed men in
the highest court of appeal. We have
faith in both the justice Of his cause and
his ability to save his clients.

They have evidently discovered that
there Is no general demand for the
shelved measure, but on the other hand
have learned that there Is a widespread
feeling against it. The consensus of
public opinion seems to coincide with
that expressed by Senator Plumb some
time ago in the remark that the country
tried that sort of scheme under General

industries that demands to be protected.
