oners is $50, as compared with 1893 on
June 20 Of last year, and the total num-
Der of state convicts for this year is 554,
against 1913 of last year, this being the
only increase. Of petty convicts Hen
nepin county has 48, decrease of 100;
Ramsey ITO, decrease Of So; st. Louis

It is with much Joy that we hail the
advent Of nice new paper at Asheville,
N. c., called The Monthly Cleaner. It
is edited by j. M. Fuller, and its chaste
style is so entirely original and charac-
teristic that I am sure the student of
journalism will find in it q great deal
worthy of his perusal.
The price is 2 cents per copy.
Here is the way new assistant editor
is introduced'to the public. The method
of expression is easy, graceful and con-
sentative:
Here is q man from Pittsburg by birth, but
moved to Philadelphia in his young days Of
boyhood. and is now in our midst with wisdom
from on high to lower himself in such man
ner as to write for our baby paper only three
months old on the behalf of its father, who is
an editor, and help bring into circulation be-
yond his power. Our child Mr.. G. has lately
come among our midst for health and air of
this delightful climate that has helped him so
much, and he has now settled down after q
months duration and taken position known
as the Asheville Milling company. He spends
his leisure hours as writer from my back be-
yond my nature, and I, as an editor, with due
respect for his highly success, commend him
to The Cleaner, and hope he may have every
advantage Of success for the good cause while

A STORY WITH A FLAW.

How n Hunsar ian Statesman Relieved
Himself OF People Who Bored Him.
OF the hungarian statesman, Fran
sis Deak. it is related that he used to
rid himself Of troublesome visitors by
telling them the following story.
s4Once, when IN Paris, Napoleon I
paid a visit to a hospital for old
soldiers. Here he perceived among
the rest man who had lost one Of
his arms, and he entered into con-
versation with him
s''Where did you lose your arm?'
asked the emperor
. At Waterloo, your majesty
9 Then, no doubt, you curse the
emperor and your country every time

. - No, indeed. protested the veter-
an, for the emperor and my native
land L would readily sacrifice my
other arm if needs be
~ can hardly believe that, the
emperor quietly remarked, and passed
on
But the soldier. anxious to prove
that he was in earnest, imme diately
drew a saber from its sheath and
Topped off his other arm
Here Deak would pause and fix a
penetrating look on his visitor.
well, what have you to say Of such
a man and such an action?"
"A most sublime act Of self sacri-

was the style OF reply invaria bly,

But the story has one haw." he
would gravely add.

How the ForefAthers Celebrated the

A story is told Of the huskinr r. bee

after he had grown to the dignity of

While the supper was progressing,

now They were SO spry about 1t
that the joke was not discovered.
The steer was missed, of course,

The animal was given up for lost,

Still, any one that was well ac-
quainted with him would see that he
was nervous from the way his fingers
tortured his eyeglass. 1t was the day
before the Grand Prix, and, nothwith-
standing Bakers confide nee. our noble
! sportsman felt anxious. True, Jaguar
was a splendid animal, and had shown
such splendid speed at Chantilly that
NJ de LOyaumont was justified IN ex-
pecting that tomorrow his horse
would take the lead from the start,
and keep to it, too. Still. the race
track holds so unexpected surprises
that he could not help feeling just
the least bit uneasy. His aristocra tic
eyebrows drew themselves nervously
together as he heard a slight knock
at the door of the smoking room.
What is it. Firmin?"
Madame sends word to monsieur
le comte that NJ Berard was very i'll
last night"
NJ. dc Loyaumonts noble eyebrows
contracted entirely as he drawled:
Il must see the horse first. After
that ] viii go to NJ. Berard before
breakfast.
He did not utter another word. for
he was too much put out to trust him
self. When he had married NJ
that her uncle should be ignored;
and now the tradesman, with the
impertinence of a millionaire, dared
to be i'll in his house whom. very
impudently, he persisted in calling
'.son-in-law." Nothing less than
Jaguar's excellent condition could
have put M. de Loyaumont in good
humor again.
As he entered the dimly Iighted
stall Jaguar turned his head toward
the door and stretched out his muz-
zled nose, as though he were going
to bite. His master lovingly pas sed
his hands over the animals satiny

morning talking to the stableman,
and listening to the gossip of the
Jockeys about the rumors which
Jaguar's adversaries were spreading.
He had SO ompletely forgotten Uncle
Berard's illness that he was fairly
startled when, without warning, Fir

the naturally red face look purple.
His shirt was open at the throat re-
vealing a massive neck The fat
body raised the blankets till they re
sembled a huge eiderdOwn cushion,
while the sufferers hands lay inert
on the satin counterpane- The dying
plebeian business man seemed sadly
out of place IN the gorgeous bed, and
his agony seemed TO be watched with
disgust by the powdered, wigged and
scarlet coated gentlemen whose por-
traits looked down from the high
walls upon the moribund stranger.
Disgust. also. was plainly written on
