Sir Richard Burton was exploring
an unknown corner Of Atghanistan,

part SO well in one village that the
inhabitants formed very high idea of
his sanctity.
Naturally he was pluming himself
on his success, when the elders came
privately to him one night and begged
him to go away at one.
"Do not the people like me?" asked
Burton, in great surprise.
rIndeed, they do" was the reply.

his holiness. Iodeed, they we're con-

ONE OF wATTERsoNs STORIES
How a Defaulter Was Given a Chance and
Regained Name and Wealth.


RegaIned Name and Wealth.
That was queer story Henry
Watterson told in his lecture about a
defalcation case at Louisville, says
the st. Louis Republic. He said
that several years ago gentleman
holding a commanding commercial
and social position in the Kentucky
metropolis had used the funds OF the
| corporation OF which he was the
trusted financial head, and when the
day Of accounting came he found he
was short in his accounts The time
was too brief to make the deficit
good. and-his own funds were in such
shape that he was inextricably en-
tangled. He was an honest man, but
in a moment of oyerconfidence had
permitted himself to devi sc from
the narrow path just enough to use
the FIRMS cash as temporary loan,
promising to return it promptly.
When the time came he could not.
Instead OF waiting. the inevitable
discovery he called meeting or dl-
rectors, made a straightforward con-
fessson, resigned his position and
threw himself upon the mercy OF
the court, so to speak, and pledged
himself to pay every dollarif he were
not exposed and prosecuted. An an
mated discussion followed, and a
large majority were in favor of Civ
fng the delinquent a chance. His
hitherto high standing and undoubt-
ed business ability were. in his favor,
not TO mention that he might have
skipped If he had desired. Two OF
the directors held out. They thought
G it would be cGmpounding felony

AND now comes the gratifying
intelligence that Pugilist Ed Smith,
who defeated one Goddard at New
Orleans, is to follow in the footsteps
of Sullivan, Corbett, Fitzsimmons,
Dempsey, McAuliffe and the rest and
go upon the stage. 1t looks, of a
truth, as if the crowding out OF the
legitimate and classic drama ny the
ultra-realistic and erotic school of
plays were about to be avenged.

lncniarit,es Of speech.

How tiresome are these would-te-
funny folk who never dance, but

to find it impossible to speak of an
unmarried man except as "a gay

WAYS @the briny," or the herring
pond." and a horse "a fiery steed, !"
who externally talk about "Sunday-go-
to-meeting" clothes, and who have
such phrases as mo extra charge,
athe noxious weed" "the pipe of
peace" and "braving the element,
forever on their lips! 1t is difficult
to say whether these can't phrases
that is perfectly proper description
of them-are more odious when used
consciously or unconsciously-that Is,
by people who believe them to be
funny and intend that their hearers
should consider them funny, or by
those who have merely caught them
UP and repeat them like parrots, and
| without any intention, good or bad.
In our own opinion, the use OF COM
mon jocularities is most offensive in
those who think OF them as wit, and
expect to be applauded after each Of
Tense. We feel that those who try
to force laugh out OF such express
sions as "my downy couch" or "com-
hitting matrimony," and who squlrm

A BILL has been introduced in the
Minnesota Senate prohibiting the
preference Of one precious metal over
another in the making of contracts.
The Kansas House has passed a
bill of the same kind. II is rather
more than doubtful whether any such
attempt to abridge the right of pri-
vate contract would be sustained by
the courts But If it should be the
people on the States INDUCING in this
sort of legislation would suffer more
than anybody else. OF course, such
legislation could not affect existing
debts, for no State can pass valid
law impairing the obligation of con-
tracts In regard to future contracts
it is only necessary to say that nc
man OF sense, with money to loan,
would lend dollar in State having
such an enactment on its statute
books. No law can compel anybody
to lend dollar unless he chooses tC
lend it. There are some things thai
legislatures cannot do, and this is on'
| of them.
