Scientists Tell OF Many WAYS in which Man

the last man will be drowned.
.. The ice is gradually accommodating
at the north pole and slowly melting
away at the south; eventually the
earth's center of gravity Will suddenly
change and the last man Will be crushed
by the rush of movables that Will
quickly glide over its surface.
3. There IS a retarding medium in
space, causing a gradual loss Of velocity
in all of the planets. The earth. when
her revolutions finally cease, viii be
drawn nearer and nearer to the sun
until the last man viii be literally
roasted off the face of the earth.
4. The amount Of water on the earth's
surface is slowly drying up; the last

moisture with which TO wet his parched
tongue.

DIDN'T LIKE ARKANsAw,
Judge Williams Tells story About a Chronic
Missouri Criminal.

/
Missouri Criminal.
It was in the fedora! court room yester-
day. Judge Williams was the speaker and
his audience was made up of some twenty
| lawyers. They sat around the table with
their palms curved about their ears de-
termined not to permit syllable of what
the judge said 10 escape them. Judge
Williams was not laying down any new
| doctrine IN law-he was simply telling a
story.
As story teller Judge Williams is a
great success. He has both wit and humor
and as an embellisner he is u thorough
artist.
There was Judge down in Missouri, I"
he said, shat had a man coming eternulIY
before him charged with nearly every
crime in the statutes OF that state. He
was "A long, lean six footer and always
wore 4 coonskin cap. He would steal
everything or anything from side of
bacon to IL steam boat, and never failed in
getting caught at it, hence he was up be-
fore the judge every term, but always es-
capped without much inconvenience.
Finally the Judge said TO him: Smith,
Will give you timely warning now that
the next time YOU come up before me
| will send you TO the peuItentIary. / am
serious about it and the best thing you can
do is TO get out of my district entirely.
Smith took the hint and went TO Arkan-
saw. In about six months the judge
opened court one morning; the next
prisoner was brought in, and TO the aston
lshment of the judge. the prisoner was
Smith and the charge against him was
stealing chickens.
Don't you know" said the Judge,
sterniy, that | told you l would send you
TO the penitentisry if you were ever again
brought before me?'
Il know it, judge" said Smith.
Didn't l advise you to leave my district
entirely"
You did, judge, and ! went"
w here did you go to!"
81 went to Arkausaw, Judge"
"What did you come back for in the face
of the warning | gave your"
well, Judge" said Smith, 81 tried
Arkansaw for six months aud | concluded
I'd sooner be in the penitentiary."
Judge Williams very generously tells
the story at his own expense, as he too is
from ArkansaW.

RETURNED FROM FUNERAL
CHIEF Walden Says wichita Was Praised for
Kindness shown John Caldwell.

Chief Walden of the fire department re-
turned yesterday from Virginia, Ills,
where the remains of Fireman Caldwell
were inferred. The people of that beauti-
full city, he says, were proIuse in their
praise of the poor fellow. He had friends
by the score, which was evidenced by the
large number who were at the depot to
receive and show respect to the once
favOrite boy of that place. He was buried
at 2:30 Sunday, the funeral being attended
by the entire community. The people
there praised The kindly act of our people
in sending him TO his old home that he
might be buried by the side of his wife, a
lady who in life was greatly esteemed and
loved by all who knew her. The minister
who presided was an old acquaintance of
the deceased and had known him since
childhood. He paid glowing tribute to
him and eulogIzed the people of Wichita
for the respect shown one VINO had been
in the employ of the city as fireman.
The grave was strewn with evergreen
and flowers, and all that could be done to
show respect TO our Jack was most GER
taiDly done. His mother, brother and
relatives attended.
