The Supreme Court.

The justices of the supreme COURT
are not to be blamed if they are vain,
says Washington correspondent.
All day long they sit upon the grand
est throne in the United States, sur
rounded by more show of Difference
and honor than even the president
receives, with theatrical curtains of
crimson silk draped behind them and
great gold eagle over their heads,
with page boys at their elbow, vener-
able lawyers bowling before them,
velvet carpets to hush the fall of feet
upon the court room floor, negro
doorkeepers watching over noiseless
doors, dim religious light in the
semi-circufar room, and never ceas-
ing throng of awed citizens of this
and other lands reverentially staring
them out ofcountenance. The Lybian
lion at circus excites very little
more veneration and awe from the
spectators. / should think that the
justices must feel sometimes how like
wild beasts on exhibition they are.
Perhaps they don't think of it at all,
for one grows accustomed in time to
anything, even to being o supreme
court judge.

Do Athletics Pay7

Although a man may succeed in
placing new records to his credit for
running, walking, jumping, ETC., and
derive great deal Of pleasure in so
doing, the question natur ally arises
Does it all pay? What benefit is it
to man in after life if he was in his
youth able to cover short distance
of ground in less time than any Of
his rivals? Does it do good to any
man if he can walk mile in q few
seconds less than it has ever been
done before? Athletes who have
done these things say that it does;
that the habits of training inculcat-
ed in their early athletic days still
stay by them, and physically they
are in better condition than they
would have been had they not gain
ed the habit of taking care of them
selves. A strong man il always at d
greater advantage in the world than
is q weaker one, and is apt to keep
up his early training all through his
life for that reason If for no other

A Bird That Kills Rattlers.

Riding in California one day nv
companion called attention to a bird
in the road ahead of me. Tt was
something like a prairie chicken, but
much more slender and graceful in
build. 1t was not using it's wings,
but it moved very rapidly, and we
had to keep the horse in pretty
good trot to keep up with it. NV
friend told me that it was a road
runner" q bird that was noted there
for its pedestrian accomplishments.
and peculiar habit they have is to
walk always in the center of THE road.
When one of these birds meets a
rattlesnake it behaves in such q GOV
manner that it leads the snake to
think it will become the victim of ita
charm, and while it is keeping the
snake in doubt as to it's intentions it
runs about in. the cactus and
picks off the thorns with it's bin,
dropping them in circle around the
snake until ithas him completely sur
rounded by cactus thorns. Then is
flies to some elevation aud sits there
to watch the snake stick himself to
death on the thorns trying to get
out of the ring,-J. s. Normile in st.

six months elasped, and other sailors
arrived from far-off lands, but they

great storm had happened and she

heads and carried no tales to the
widow, whose candle burned brightly
every night and cast long streamers
of light out upon the sea. Another
year passed, but the sailors going or
coming brought no news of the ship,
and the neighbors whispered apart
and shook their heads whenever any
spoke of the widows son, but no one
was curel enough to cut the slender
threads which held the anchor of her
hoop. And thus the light continued
to glow out towards the sea att

Years came and went. The chill

lad had grown to be men and women;
her own head had been silvered with

dared to cut the cables of her hope.
Tender words cheered her and tender

she patiently waited for the home

every night the glow of her candle,
streamed out to seward and told

bodies of two of the unfortutates were taken

Cured Near the point at which the head
ing started, an air hole had been drilled re-
Gently. Gas and water had accumulated in
it. A miner named Patrick Kerwin penetrat
ed this air hole, six inches in diameter, with
his pick, whereupon strong stream OF
water gushed out. Kerwin, alarmed, sound
ed the danger signal.
His assistant, Patrick Hayes, started hur.
riedly Tor the main entrance and had
scarcely moved when the foul gas was
ignited from his lamp. The explosion that
followed was terrific. What little air there
was in the place drifted to the heading at the
right of the main entrance. The firefollowed
swiftly, and before the thirty.one men could
be alarmed, all hope of escape was shut off
by the flames. The twenty-six men employ
ed in the let heading were notified of the
danger in time to save >iiIe;r lives, although
their escape was thrilling and was accom-.
| panied by the widest confusion. At q point

"A LIGHT IN THE WINDoW.'
The Story on Which the Song Was
Founded.

The Story on Which the Song Was
Founded.
Louisville Times: Few are proba-
bly, the persons who havenot one time
or other heard the Sunday school
song, "a Light in the Window. I'm
less am mistaken it is founded upon
story told upon the little Island of
Sylt, but which might easily have its
exact counterpart on almost any
seashore where a mothers heart
beats with yearning love for her sail
or SON and keeps it's fond promises
from night to night
Among the simple fisher folks on
the island lived a woman and her son.
He was her only child, the pride of
her heartas well as the source of con-
slant dread, for the boyloved the
sea as his father before had loved
it, and nothing gave him SO much
pleasure as to W atch the incoming
tide tumble its curling waves over
the sands. No sooner was he strong
enough to WELD an oar and stee r
a boat than he Joined the men in
their fishing expeditions.
The mother, with all her fears and
the fate of long line of sailors in her
mind, yetwould not have hadit other
wise for itwould have been deemed dis
honor among the hardy coasters to
have kept the boy at home or sent
him safely at work for some farmer.
Whatever the dangers. they must be
faced for the sake of family pride.
Had not the boys grandfather been
acaptain when he went away the last
time? Had not his father sailed his
own ship when he went down in a
great storm? The child was the last
ofhis race, but he must not dishonor
it by tame and cowardly safety on
shore. So the boy grew up, tall of
his age, straight as mast, nimble
as the feetest and handiest boat,
blue-eyed, fair-haired, true-hearted, a
real son OF the sea. The fishermen
taught him the tricks of his craft un-
TIL he knew how to sail a boat, splice
a rope, or do many little things
which a sailor must know. When
ever a ship was in the offing he was
soon aboard, learning the rigging
and how work was performed upon
her. Hewas a great fayorite among
the longshore folks and with the
sailors, and when at last his 18th
year came around and he obtained the
consent of his mother to go to sea,
he easily found good ship and cap
