A Mldd1e Age STORY.

Some time during the Middle Ages there
was village in Germany that had gal
lows of it's own. 1t, however, not having
been used in many years, became unglued,
SO to speak, and fell into such state of
decay that it could not be repaired with
out making fresh gibbet.
Finally highwayman was caught
taking up a collection for the campaign
fund or some similar purpose, and without
any of the delay peculiar to modern JUS
tice the wicked man was condemned to be
bunr. All the accessories to hanging
were on hand except the legal gallows
In the midst of this dilemma it occurred
to the proprietors of the rickety old gall
lows that neighboring village had a
colnparatively new gallows which the in
habitants of said burg had erected.
What does the party of the first part do
but take their malefactor over to the town
with the new gallows and suspend him
therefrom until he showed all the indica-
tions of having reformed completely
The affair was managed so quietly that
the law was carried into effect before the
proprietors of the gibbet had time to apply
to the country court for an injunction.
The result was an indignation meeting
which appointed u committee to draw up
petition to the grand duke to whom the
country belonged setting forth their griev-
ance. The petition was clinched by the
following irrefutabe argument;
"Your royal highness will more readily
perceive the injustice done us when we as
sure your royal highness that the aforesaid
gallows was built by us for the exclusive
Accommodation of ourselves, our children
and our children's children. ."--Texas Sift-
ings.

KING OTTO OF BAVARIA.

structed and paid for doing SO fall as il
killed, and Otto is hugely delighted He
is still addressed as 'Your majesty" and
mock state is kept up about him, but the
administration is in the hands of his uncle,
the Regent Luitpold.
Charles XII of Sweden was long in that
unhappy condition = unhappy for other
people-when he had too much sense to be
withstood and too little to control himself
He lived quite too long for the good Of
Sweden and was killed in a senseless cam
paign of a useless war. Caracalla began
his reign as Roman emperor by numbering
his brother Geta, and went on with such
reckless fury that he had some 10000 peo-
pie put to death before his attendants got
desperate enough to kill him. The Rus.
sian Emperor Paul was killed in all prob
ability because his mobiles felt in danger
from his freaks.
King Otto is but slightly cruel, and is
dying fast enough now, as his madness has
taken the form of abstinence, amounting to
slow starvation. He is nearly forty three
years old. He has never been anything
but name in the government of Bavaria,
never even approaching the picturesque
personality of his elder brother, King Lud-
wig, the lunatic whose oriental extrava-
gance, gorgeous palace, energetic eccen-
tricities furious midnight drives and royal
patronage of Wagner astonished the world,
and who died so miserably. King Otto's
uncle, Prince Luitpold, is the next in sue
cession to the Bavarian throne Prince
Luitpold carries his seventy years with
vigor, and is an able man.

Strong. Franklin county. During the
session of that year he was member OF
thecommittee on northeastern boundary,
and says he is the only member OF that
committee now living, among the mem
bers of which were the able, scholarly
and accomplished Edward Kavanagh,
of Newcastle, the chairman, and the
following year governor Of the state;
the Hon. Bion Bradbury, then OF Calais,
and the Hon. George P. Sewall, Of Old
town. The hearings before this COM
mittee attracted attention, as such an
array of able and distinguished men as
appeared before the committee that ses-
sion is rarely witnessed. Included
among them were Daniel Webster,
Lord Ashburton and Peleg Sprague.-

THE FOUDROYANT.

The firm that bought her for G1 900
offered, after the popular remonstrance
had taken form, to sell the vessel to Eng
land for five times the sum they had
paid out. Then Conan Doyle, the famous
novelist, wrote this poem:
Who says tho nations purse is lean,
Who fears for claim or bond or debt.
When all the glories that have been
Are scheduled as a cash asset?
If times are black and trade is slack,
If coal and cotton fail at last,
We've something left to barter yet
Our glorious past.
There's many lot in which lies hid
The dust of statesman or of king;
There's Shakespeare's home to raise bid,
And Millions house its price would bring.
What for the sword that Cromwell drew?
What for the princes coat Of mail?
What for our Saxon Alfred's tomb?
They're all for sale!
And stone and marble may be sold,
Which serve no present daily need.
There's Edwards Windsor, labeled old,
And Wolsey's palace, guaranteed,
st. Clement Danes and thirty fanes,
The Tower and the Temple grounds,
How much for these? Just price them, please,
In British pounds
You hucksters, have you still to learn
The things that money will not buy?
Can you not read that, cold and stern
AS we may be, there still does lie
Deep in our hearts q hungry love
For what concerns our island story?
We sell our work-perchance our lives
But not our glory.
Go, barter to the knacker's yard
The steed that has outlived its timei
Send hungry to the pauper's ward
The man who served you in his prime!
But when you touch the nations store,
Be broad your mind and tight your grip;
Take heed! And bring us back once more

DAsHING THROUGH THE WINDOW.

DAsHING THROUGH THE WINDOW.
young animal owned by M. d. Flavin, of
1915 Vincennes avenue, Chicago, which
ran away the other forenoon about IL
o'clock, and, utterly regardless of such
petty distractions as screens, sashes and
indoor blinds, jumped through the dining
room window at 1916 Rhodes avenue and
dashed out it's brains against marble
mantel.
The window through which the horse
jumped is nearly on a level with the street.
D. A. Altman, who lives with his son-in-
law, A. Diefendorf, at that number, was
sitting quietly near the mantel reading,
but just before the catastrophe occurred
he arose and walked across the room.
Just as his hand touched the door he was
startled by a sudden rush, loud crash and
a heavy jar as if an earthquake had shaken
the building. Turning quickly he saw a
horse lying ON the floor with the blood
gushing from deep wound in the head.
Under the animal, crushed into fragments,
lay the upholstered chair which he had
just vacated. The thick mantel was broken
off where the horse struck, and the heavy
iron fender in front of the fireplace was
cracked from side to side.
Through the gaping window demolished
carriage could be seen. Presently cry
for help came family from Miss Rebecca
O'Brien, the young lady who had accom-
panied the horse in it's mad career and
who was trying to get from under the
broken carriage. The buggy had struck
an iron railing just before the horse
reached the window, and Miss O'Brien was
thrown out, thus preventing her from
being dashed to death against the brick
wall.
By the time the police arrived the horse
was dead.
Mrs. Deifendorf, who is nervous little
woman, will not soon recover from the
shock of seeing a horse sail through her
dining room window. Miss O'Brien proved
to be none the worse for her exciting ex-
perience.
"It was regular runaway horse at best. >
she said, land l ought not to have VEN
tured out alone with it. When l left my
sisters house l thought the horse acted
restless, but 1 didn't lose control until it
turned from Vincennes avenue to Bryant
avenue. don't think l was much fright
ened, for I knew well enough that the
horse would stop when it came to the brick
houses even if it did got killed. Just be-
fore the buggy struck the sidewalk felt a
sudden jolt and a loud crash, and the next
thing / remember distinctly was the SEN
sation of something warm trickling down
my nose. guess l must have landed head
first in a most ungraceful attitude, but it
can't be helped now. It's great wonder
1 wasn't killed outright instead of just
having my nose hurt

And give her to the God of storms,
The lightning and the gale!
It was this poem that preserved Old
ronsides-one of the noblest crafts that
ever carried valiant sailors and with
stood iron hail in the service of the Unit
ed States of America. Had it not been
for Holmes splendid invective she would
today be nothing save a memory.
A similar experience has recently agi-
tated the patriotic people of England,
and the result has been practically iden-
tical with that which caused ''the uni
versal Yankee nation" to lay its tribute
weeks ago the admiralty sold Lord Mel
sons fine old flagship, the Foudroyant,
to German firm to be chopped up into
| firewood. A London paper, in ANNOUNCE
ing the fact, remarked that this was
nothing unusual. Only three years be-
fore England sold Nelson's pet trophy of
the battle OF the Nile-the magnificent
Canopus-taken from the French and
named by Nelson himself. Even the
Victory was nearly sold to the ship
breaker in 1880, when the admiralty of
the day actually proposed to have Mel
sons Trafalgar flagship destroyed. 1t
was only Hardy's urgent remonstrances,
backed by letters in the papers, that
saved the Victory for England, or she,
too, would have shared the fate of the
fighting Temeraire and the Bellerophon.
The Foudroyant's threatened fate, how
ever, was harder than the fate of these.
She, the only existing ship, except the
Victory, in which Nelson fought, was to
be broken up in a foreign land by Ger
man firewood traders.

TO SAVE THE SHIPS.
FOR THAT PURPOSE TWO POETS
HAVE WRITTEN RINGING POEMS.

The Effort of Oliver Wendell Holmes in
Behalf of Old Ironsides Duplicated by
Conan Doyle In Defending Nelson's
Flagship from Destruction.
1t is worthy of notice that two poets
now living have saved the countries to
which they belong from lasting disgrace.
In each instance their indignant verse
prevented the destruction of ship that
had been the scene of heroic deeds and
glorious victory. 1t is more than half a
century since Oliver Wendell Holmes
wrote:
Aye, tear her tattcred ensign down.
Long has it waved on high,
And many an eye has danced to see
That banner in the sky;
Beneath it rung the battle shout,
And burst the cannon's roar
The meteor of the ocean air
Shall sweepthe clouds no morel
Her deck, once red with heroes blood,
Where knelt the vanquished foe,
When winds were hurrying DER the food
n And waves werc white below,
h No more shall feel the victors' tread
n Or know the conquered knee
E The harpies of the shore shall pluck
p The eagle of tho sea.

Kroekel was arrested for burglary in At

who finally sent him to state prison for one
year. A professor in Philadelphia insti-

smartest mute he had ever seen. He got
out of Jail again last spring, but was ar
rested short time ago for another bur-
glary at Atlantic City and was sent back to

A Deaf Muto Who Is Depraved.

Charles Kroekel, a thirteen-year-oldd deaf
mute, who has proved himself the most
precocious burglar ever behind the bars of
a Jail, was sentenced few days ago at
Mays Landing, N. j., by Judge Reed, to
two years. imprisonment. Young Kroe-
keFs career has been most remarkable
one. Although mute he is exceptionally
bright and keen. He has light hair and
blue eyes, wonderfully small hands and is
as nimble as a cat. When his deft fingers
encounter a lock that they cannot pick he
generally manages to squeeze through
some small opening, and in this way he
has escaped from nearly every place in
which he has been confined. Three years
of his life, however, have been spent in Jail.
Charley commenced his career of crime
before he was seven years old At that
time his parents caught him picking locks
with piece of wire, and the mystery cf
