TWO OLD ACCOMPLlCES.
How Couple of Clever Roguos Cutv''.cd
an English Judge.

How a Couple of Clever Roguos GutN''a cd
an English Judge.
One hears good many tales on circuit
and can't tell how many of them arc
known outside Of the profession, or arc
worth reproducing. Here an instance:
A prisoner was being tried for ais lifo
In the days when DEMONSTRATING was q
capital offense, The evidence was all
against him and he had no defense but
taken identity, that he was sailor and
was away in the West Indies on some
cutting-out expedition at the time when
the affair happened; thousands of miles
away and knew nothing whatever about
it. just before the vital, or lethal, mo-
mont of sentence, prisoner catches sight
of bluff sailor-like gentleman DOING
in the magistrates seats. Lieutenant
Maintop, ahoy," he shouts, "the man
who can prove my innocence" Sailor
like man wakes with a start, rubs his
eyes, is requested by the Judge to rocog-
nize the prisoner, who excitedly calls
to him that he is Jack Bovine of her
Majesty's ship Thunderer, one Of the
beats crew who cut out the French frig-
ates in Porto Rico Bay. Sailor-like man,
flustered at being so suddenly woke and
finding all eyes fixed on him, declares
in his hearty honest fashion that
though there certainly was Jack Bow
line in his watch, and one of the afore-
said crew, he does not recognize him in
the prisoner. Increasing overpowering
excitement of the prisoner, who like all
men will give all that he hath for his
| life;" sailorlike distress Of the Lieuten-
ant, torn between the determination to
say nothing but the absolute truth and
the desire to save a fellow-creature'
life. At last, says he, 'if the man is
Bowlino he will be easily identified by
a cut on the back of his head from a
French cutlass which he got under my
very nose in that very expedition, and
fell back into my arms" Prisoners
head examined, just such cut; trium-
plant acquittal; Bovine and the Lieu
tenant leave the town together in a
chaise and pair; cheers and subscrip-
ton of thirty guineas for the poor, ILL
used sailor-prisoner. Three months
later they were both hanged for highway
robbery prisoner and witness. Lieuten-
ant Maintop and Jack Bovine were old
accomplices in crime, the alibi and bust
ness of recognition was well-arranged

Destruction of American Forests

AT n recent meeting in Berlin of
the Geographical Society, Chief For
est Master Kessler called attention to
the eXtravagant waste of timber in
the United States. Among other in
teresting details Mr.. Kessler spoke of
the tremendous destruction of forests
in the United States during recent de-
cades Of years. Quoting from the
tenth census, he stated that in 1880
the %, 703 saw mills then in operation
converted $l20, 0O0,0 worth of raw
timber stock into various kinds of
lumber, and he asserted that at the
same rate there would be no good
sized timber left in forty years. He
spoke Of the enormous waste of wood
through forest fires, which are the re-
cult, for the most part, of carelessness
or a desire to clear land for cultiva-
ton, and declared that the planting
of new forests, which has of late years
received some attention in the East
ern States, cannot begin to Offset the
waste of forests. He said that there
is every reason to fear that America
will soon bea country impoverished
for tree property. Mr.. Kessler made
the striking comparison that, while
the United States had but II per cen
Of its area covered by forests, the en-
pire of Germany has 26 per cent of it:
entire area so covered. Mr.. Kesslel
said that the reckless destruction o
forest trees in America and the in
difference manifested by Americans
in the restoration of forests is men
ace, not alone to the wealth of the ria
ton, but threatens serious deteriora
ton both to climatic conditions anC
the fertility of the soil.

THE TONGUE.

The homeless tongue, so strong and weak,
Can crush and kill" declared the Greek
"The tongue destroys greater horde"
The Turk asserts "thsn does the sword"
The Persian proverb wisely saith:
"A lengthy tongue-an easy death"
Or sometimes takes this form instead;
"Don't let your tongue cut off your head"
"The tongue can speak a word whose speed"
Says the Chinese, "outstrips the steed."
While Arab sages this impart:
"The tongues great storehouse is the heart"
From Hebrew wit the maxim sprung:
"Though feet should slip, meier let the
tongue"
The sacred writer crowns the whole:
"Who keeps the tongue, doth keep his soul. u

DR.. Kelley.

Obion Democrat.
We fail to see, even from a prohi,
hition standpoint, what good DIR.
Kelley has accomplished in his cam
vass. He has fought a losing game
from the beginning. He has not only
aroused but he has created antagon-
ism to prohibition that will not be
easily allayed. He has fought democ-
racy before democratic audiences and
made them stronger in faith. In.
stead of elevating the tone of politics
he has lowered himself, created more
strife and bitterness than any candi-
date in many years, and comes out of
the canvass with mud and mire upon
his priestly garments. In spite of his
reputation for honesty, fairness, tall
ent and dignity, his canvass has not
been near so dignifed, christianlike
and free from rough-and-tumble po-
litical tricks and methods as was old
Brother Johnson's two years ago. He
has created disruption in his church
that will not soon be healed; he has
in fact, set the church by the ears,
and has become more than ever a dis
turbing factor in the staid old church
in which he has always been a sort of
firebrand. He exchanged the pulpit
for the stump, the church for the po>
litical arena, knowing, as he must
have known, that such action would
prove detrimental to his influence and
reputation as minister, in his
church and out of it. The canvass
is now over, and he is overwhelming
ly defeated, as every man Of sense
expected he would be. He stands
expelled from his church for six
months, with none of the rights as a
minister. His admirers love to pirate
of his bravery, his boldness in thought
and action and his superior intellect.
1t is not denied that he is brave, hon
est and intellectual. But he has no
monopoly on any of these qualities;
he did not address an audience dur>
ing his canvass in which men could
not have been found who are Just as
brave and honest as he is; and as for
his intellect, it showed to the poorest
advantage on the political stump.
Simply because man is brave and
honest is no reason why he should
be considered a sort of little tin god
The sober truth is that Kelley comes
out of the canvass worse hurt than
any against whom he fought. He
has gnawed a file to the injury of his
teeth and no damage to the file. He
is now a suspended preacher and t
defeated aspirant for Office, and, we
repeat, we fail TO see where and how
he has accomplished more good thar
harm. We have all due and proper
respect for DR.. Kelley, but unlike his
hero-worshipers, we are inclined t
regard him as mere mortal, giver
to making many, many mistakes.

Horses as Weather Prophets.

Our Dumb Animals
An acquaintance Of mine has Just
returned from her summer outing in
the country, stopping with relative
on his farm in one of the fertile coun-
ties Of Maryland, where an instance
of, "hOrse-sense" came under her OBJ
servatiOn. One bright afternoon, tn
pair of family horses were hitched to
the carriage for a drive. From the
time they were brought from the
stable they showed signs of uneasi>
ness, their restlessness increasing as
the process of hitching.up went on
until, when all was ready to start,
they actually refused to go. This
was 81 unusual-they always having
been gentle and easily managed, that
the owner was led to remark
upon their rebellious spirit,
on this particular occasion
and accordingly administered
the whip, which was seldom if ever
resOrted to before. They reluctantly
started. After travelling about two
miles, one of those sudden and severe
electric rain storms which have pre-
cipitated their fury upon parts of
Maryland during July and August
of this year, swooped down and
drenched the party to the skin, spoil
ing what might otherwise have been
a pleasant jaunt. The owner wisely
concluded that his animals knew
more about the weather than he, and
now admires his favorites even more
than he did before.

MIsfortunes of Some NIapIc Sirup,

A young wife, who lives uptown in a
nice little fiat, has a new servant girl.
Ste's only been in this country three
weeks, and still has some things to learn
about American ways. The other night
the young husband brought home a can
of beautiful maple strip. Tho can was
placed in the closet to be used only on
special occasions, A night or two after
its arrival Ellen, the new servant was
told to fill the parlor lamp, which she
did, Strangely, however, the thing
afterward refused to burn. Investiga-
ton discovered that Ellen had used the
strip instead Of kerosene to fill it with.
She was shown what she had done, and
told to empty out the siyup and rofill
the lamp with oil. This she did salts
factorily, and the matter was forgotten
until few mornings afterward when it
was recalled in an unpleasant way at the
breakfast table. Ellen had poured the
lamp strip back into the strip can. She
is now advertising for another place.

ABOUT CO-EDUCATlON.
It Develops the Best Traits of Character
in Girls and Boys.

in Girls and Boys.
is the most natural thing in the
world for the little boy to lead his little
sister or girl friend-knowing no differ
ence between them, save that Of their
dispositions or qualities. He will go
first, though with beating heart, per-
haps, that he may protect her from the
terrible gander, which with outstretch-
cd wings and hideous, open beak and
affrightening cries, is advancing toward
them; he will give her the incest cher
ries, he will carry her books, he will
help her to cross the brook or to climb
the fences, and he will love her truly
and tenderly, and all without fear or
shame.
The little girl will as naturally seek
his companionship, she will admire his
prowess in facing danger, and grateful
ly accept all the tokens OF his care,
while she feels her superiority in tho
matters of daintness, taste and pro-
priety, and she will love him as sweetly
and tenderly as he her.
Studying together, playing together,
growing together both montally and
physically, the boys manly qualities
become strengthened by the use to
which they are put. A sense of his re-
sponsibility as protector and helper, de-
velops his powers. At tho same timo
that he becomes more truly gentle and
refined in all his ways, he finds that
cowardice, laziness and impurity are
held in great contempt by hi, fair asso-
ciates, as courage, honesty and purity
are highly esteemed, and he becomes
brave and true, daring and pure; truly a
gentleman.
The girl, his associate, is learning,
too. She finds that cowardice, deceit,
vanity and petty spites are not consid-
cred as attractions by her boy friends,
and, becoming ashamed OF them, seeks
to cultivate the opposing virtues. She
learns, too, to take broader views OF
things and of life; to outgrow the little
ness which is the bane of women edu-
Gated without male companionship.
Both cease to be masked enemies
seeking to outwit each other as in a
game, and become capable Of loyal
friendships and comradeships, under
standing and approaching each other
