A young man wrote to an editor to
know how to become rich. The reply
was full of truth. The formula is
simple, certain and we give it: Save
all your income; don't invest your saw
ings in anything that will build up
the country, but lend it at the highest
rate of interest you can get; grind the
needy whenever the occasion offers;
never make a donation to anything;
always remember that a fat chicken
means lean purse; never have any
politics or religion. Observe these
rules strictly and if you approach any
thing like the allotted time for men to
live, you will be rich man; when you
die, everybody, including your heirs,
will be glad of it.-Ex.

Judge Lyons, one of the St. Clair
county, Kansas judges, in jail for con-
tempt of court in refusing to levy an
assessment ordered by United States
court, has become violently insane and
his wife and daughter have both lost
their reason from the shock of his i'm
prisonment and latest greater misfor
tune. Thus once highly honored and
noble family are wrecked and cast into
a madhouse to crafty or avenge the
alleged dignity of an offended judge.
Thus does the laws of our land uphold
the committing of a thousand-fold
greater crime to avenge lesser one.
How long, we ask, will iberty-loving
people tolerate this abuse and gross
prostitution of justice?

The biggest fish are those that
get away. 1t is so with the Opportu-
mites of life. Those most golden and
great are always those that get away.
The sklllful angler for the fishes of op
portunlty are not those who toy with
them until they fall from the hooks but
who earnestly and steadily draw them
to the boats side, seize them and land
them.-St. Peter Herald.
This is SO in the criminal fishing as
we'll. 1t might be extended little
further and say, the fish that have plen-
ty, escape because they will not bite.
or because they place the anglers in
such position that they cannot or do
not land them. The poor half -starved
mortal who steals a loaf of bread, is
small in wealth, cannot fly, or buy off
when detected, but Menage or the
mighty criminal fish can thumb his
nose at the authorities or with a few
paltry dollars close the officials eyes So
they cannot see to land him. Must it
always be thus? flake City Graphic
Sentinel.
1t is not always just to cite familiar
proverbs in estimating experiences of
life. For example, the universal appli-
cation of the old saying: "There is
always two sides to every question:"
has caused many man to be mum
bered'' with the transgressors. This
proverb may be construed as referring
to right and wrong side only. but

hundred is it used in this most natural
sense; on the contrary it is generally
synonymous with another misleading
proverb. ''In all difficulties there is
blame on both sides.' SO long as envy
is harbored in the human breast while
selfish pride continues to push ignor-
ance to the front, just so long tongues
will be "set on fire of hell" just so
surely will the people mourn" The
worst hated people are always those
whose honesty and integrity cannot be
assailed, or whose talent cannot be
subverted to the base uses of the ignor-
ant the envious and the selfsh.-Grace-

Gesa Berga, the well-known actor
and newspaper man, has picture in
his possession, in caligraph that has a
remarkable history. 1t is, in size, 80 by
AZ inches, and is the work of Joseph
Loew, the most noted counterfeiter that
the Austrian government ever knew.
When application is made for pardon
IN Austria the red tape policy of that
country compels the applicant to ad-
dress the emperor with all his titles.
Loew engraved all the names, with his
petition for a pardon, on a cherry
stone. The letters were so fine that
required the aid of a microscope
to decipher them. One day when the
emperor visited the prison LOew in per-
son presented cherry stone to the en-
peror and told him what it contained
The emperor made an examination and
was so amazed at the work that he gave
him an unconditional pardon. Not
only did he pardon him but gave him
position as detective to trail down
counterfeiters. Loew was a we'll in
formed man in all the arts and rascali-
ties of counterfeiters, and in less than
two years after his pardon he ran to
earth almost every counterfeiter in
Austria, and died few years ago COW
cred with detective honors. This pic
ture, although made fifty years ago, is
in remarkable state of preservation.

Some of our exchanges designate

improvement among the prisoners; to acquaint
the public with the true STATUS of the prisoner;
to disseminate pathological information and to aid
in dispelling that prejudice which has ever been

The paper is entirely dependent on the public for
its financial support. If at any time there should
accrue surplus of funds, the money would be
