The trial Of All Myers for the murder
|ofD. T, Christman, Of this term oI
court, resulted 10 an acquittal. II ID
wonderful what lapses Of memory wit
nessss can have during the Interval be-
tween the time when grand Jury In
vastigates charge and the time whom
the case comes up for trial in court. It
is just snch lapses As these, occurring go
conveniently which make criminal
trial u Owyhee County farce. The ac-
quittsl Of Myers was foregone conclu-
sion on the evidence.
An inoffensive citizen was assassin
ated in a cowardly manner on the
streets of the county seat Of Owyhee.
Scarcely single citizen of the town has
9 doubt in his own mind az to who COM
mitted the dastardly deed more than
two years elapse before an indictment il
found and then the trial is farce for
want of evidence.

Cooking classes for gcntlemeni The final
blow to that honorable and old fashioned
institution Of natrimony. Modern de-
vclopmcnts are in league against wcdlock.
Patent buttons have been fashioned that

the most tender of wifely devotions In
deed the wife is summarily dismissed from

And the trained nurse is a most engag-
ing, low voiced, gentle institution in pic
turesque cap and apron. Her hands are
like velvet TO the touch, but strong and
wondrous deft. She knows how 20 coax
and how to command without irritation
or fussiness. Obedience is delicious when
in accord with her sovereign will. Her
dress never rustles. She never cries over a
poor fellow when he is too CHASTITY sick TO
endure it. She doesn't get her precious
feelings injured when his head thumps so
he is Obliged TO call on his Maker with un-

COULD NOT READ HIS PRINTING.
Lifc Was Too short for the compositors TO
Decipher Hieroglyphics.


Decipher Hierogiyphics.
A number Of men in an up town hotel re-
Gently chanced to De discussing the execra-
BILE almost undecipherable, handwriting Of
a mutual friend.
Il hate to receive his letters remarked
one. "They drive me nearly crazy, and
am often tempted to throw them into the
Gre unread. I do wish he would return 20
his primary school methods and print his
letters"
But that might be no improvement
remarked q newspaper man who chanced
to be among the number "I know case
in point in my own Office where printing
words TO secure legibility led to a vigorous
protest"
"You are Of course aware" continued the
speaker, ''that there is absolutely no rule
TO govern the spelling of proper names, and
if written hastily the very simplest cog
nomen may appear as something entirely
different in type So many mistakes Of
this nature occurred that finally an order
was issued that in preparing copy every
proper name should be printed in Roman
capitals.
1.-THE order was productive Of great inn
provement, and was hailed with delight by
the night desk and the composing room
/
was in onnection-strange as it may seem
with the copy of the poorest penman on
the staff His writing was really some
thing dreadful, the worst have ever read,
bar none. Scarcely n man could read n
simple sentence without pu2zling over a
half dozen or more simple words.
Through long association and hard
swearing, however, two of the compositors
! out of over hundred were practically able
| to make something ineligible out of the
veterans copy, at least they claimed to be
able to do so, but the others doubted it, and
the proofreaders were unwilling to certify
to the truth of the statement, for the stuff
was worse than Greek to them.
"This feeling changed, however, when
the first pages Of the man copy were given
out after the new order had been issued
Takes were distributed to the two read
ers of hieroglyphics, as usual, and all went
well until, almost simultaneously, both
men struck proper names, printed in al
legged Roman capitals.
"'Well, said one leaning over his case
4 would have sworn that / could read thil
copy, but this stumps me. What's thii
fool up to nows"

Finding Lost Ring.

a gentleman living at South Kensington
was travelling with his son from Gloucester
road to Mark lane on the underground
railway. Arrived at his destination, the
young man in opening the carriage door
dropped from his finger valuable ring,
which fell between the carriage and the
platform. The station inspector, who hap
pened to be standing near, said: "All right,
sir 1 saw il fall. Wait till the train is
gone, and I'll get it for you" And directly
the train moved out he duly jumped down
on to the line, but no ring could be found.
The gentleman waited some time and then
went home.
An hour or so afterward the son went
again to the railway station to inquire if
the ring had been found, and while stand
ing there the same train entered the sta
tion, having been right around the inner
circle, and, wonderful torelate, on the lower
footboard of the carriage the ring was dis
covered, having travelled the whole distance
lying on the open board.-London TitBits

An INCIDENT Of childhood.

There is a k en- remembrance lingering
ineradicably w n the writer of a little girl
coming to school once upon recitation day
with piece of her own selection safely
stored away in her childish memory. It
was a new poem to the school, and when
her turn came TO recite her soul was full Of
the CLEAN and glory of Camelot. She felt
as if she were unlocking a treasure house,
and It was with unspeakable pleasure to
herself that she gave, verse after verse, tho
entire poem of "The Lady of Shalott."
Doubtless the child's voice drifted away
into singsong, as her whole little self
seemed to drift away into the land of fairy,
and doubtless also the busy teacher, who
was more familiar with Jane Taylor and
Cowper, was sadly puzzled. When the
child at length sat down, scarcely knowing
where she was In her sudden descent from
the land Of marvel, she heard the teacher
say, to her amazement and encouragement,
after an ominous pause, II wonder II any
young lady can tell me what this poem
meansW
There was no reply. "Can you tell us'"
was the next question pointed at the poor
little girl, who had just dropped out of
cloudland II thought it explained itself, "
was the plaintive reply. With a Slight ain
of depreciation in another moment the
next recitation was called for, and the dull
clouds of routine shut down over the sud
den glory. Shades of the prison house
then and there began to close over the
growing child. One JOY had for the pres
ent faded from her life-that of a sure sym
pathy and understanding Not even he
teacher could see what she saw, nor coul,
feel what lay deep down in her own glow

Dick rurpln.s Ride.

Foremost among English foats Of horse
manship we have ono which for genera
tions has boon represented in the circus
ring. Dick 1urpin's famous ride from
London to York has taken its place among
nursery legends, nevertheless it was nc
tually performed, and stands as a record Of
its kind. The highwayman, riding with
the very best reason in the world-the
safety of his neck-coyered the distance Of
over 200 miles in a little under twelve
hours. This performance stands alone rs
the longest and fastest journey ever made
on the same horse. Most of the long rides
of which record exists have been made for
wagers; such records are therefore reliable.

A neat illustration Of the value Of adver-

Mon WHO Are Isnres.

The man who is not q bore If he hits on
an uncongenial subject very quickly leaves
it, The bore rasps ON, oblivious Of the mem
tai opposition which he IS encountering.
The bore has no notion OF what Is the line
Of least resistance He does not pick the
smoothest path he can find, but snorts
with the utmost unconcern down the road
Of maximum friction. The man who is not
a bore sees in an instant that the story Of
how the village pump was painted contrary
to the orders of the wears church warden
is not interesting TO his audience and inn
mediately changes the subject.
Not so the bore. lie knows. or thinks he
knows, what is a really good story, and
therefore, oblivious Of the far away look
that has come into the eyes Of Miss Jones
and Mr. Smith, he makes them drink the
anecdote TO the dregs. Unaware that he is
not sailing down pleasant stream OF talk,
he does not spare the smallest detail and
recounts verbatim what the clerk said TO
the pew opener or to the grocer's assistant,
who sings alto i'm the choir. 1t is this fact,
that lack of sympathy and Of ability TO
enter into other peoples feelings consti-
tute the bore, that makes it possible for
some men to be both bores and not boros.-

Instinct Cat.

"I have often wondered" said Francis
Estey at the St. James, ''in how much hu-
man beings are guided by instinct Every
one knows that animals are largely regu-
lated bythat queer influence we are pleased
to name, but very few people believe that
it plays any part in human lives. 1 once
had an office cat that came to me n starving
kitten. fed it for the once, and daily it
came to the Office at the time / arrived,
about 8 in the morning and always very
promptly Once it was stolen from me 10y
a party of clerks, good friends Of mine, and
they kept it for three months. They told
me they had been in the habit of feeding
it at noon, and that daily at that hour ex-
actly the cat showed up with remarkable
promptness. Then became interested.
changed the cats meal hour from 12 noon
TO 3 in the afternoon and watched the re-
suit. Up to that hour the cat was never to
be found At that hour, however, scratch
ing and clawing occurred at my Office door,
and my cat was always on time. Now how
did that cat know when it was o or Il OF
o'clock; We say Instinct instinct, Of
course but the question still remains un-
answered. "-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
