Dut 1t Was . Wooden Leg and Didn't
Hurt Him Seriously.
Police officers detailed In charge OF
postal wagons see more Of the woes and
ills Of suffering humanity than most
people. Late one night short time
ago Chicago saloonkeeper called for
the ambulance from the West Chicago
avenue station, saying there was man
lying on the sidewalk near Carpenter
and Front streets badly injured and
unconscious. The unfortunate was
bundled into the ambulance and
landed in the examining room ut the
county hospital. On the way to the
hospital the sufferer became partially
conscious and indicated that his right
leg was the cause Of great discomfort.
He could not speak English, but the
officers understood that his right leg
had been injured. In the examining
room he made an extremely wry face
when the physician approached, and it
was then discovered he had been drink
ing heavily. The physician felt the
mans right leg between the knee and
ankle without drawing up the panta-
looms or exposing the skin, and found
the bone broken badly four or five
inches above the ankle, and the pa
tient was then removed to the operating
room. Here more complete examin-
alton was made. and it was learned
the mans right leg was broken in the
most terrible manner. When the
patient saw the condition Of his leg he
actually shed tears II was a wooden
leg, and he was drunk and bemoaning
the expense to be incurred in the pur-
chase of another leg.

The Lord's Prayer Inscribed In Thirty
Two Different Language

The Lords Prayer Inscribed In Thirty.
Two Different Language
The Russians now have possession Of
the Mount of Olives, the spot where the
Lord s prayer was first uttered. The
apex Of the mount is nearly two hum
dred feet above the hill upon which
Jerusalem is built, twenty-seven hun
dred feet above the level Of the Medi-
terranesn and about thirty-nine hun
dred feet above the sluggish waters Of
the Dead sea. On this elevation, upon
the exact spot on which tradition says
the prayer was first spoken, the Carme-
lite sisters'have, through the kindness
Of Nine. de Ia Tour d'Auvergne, who
furnished the necessary funds, built o
large convent. The exact, or what is
claimed to be the exact, spot pressed
by our Saviour's feet on that celebrated
occasion, is marked by pure white
polished marble cross, and the walls Of
the convent have the prayer inscribed
upon them in thirty-two different
languages. In some instances, the let
ters forming the prayer are engraved
in marble panels; in others, they are
letters Of wood, glued to backgrounds
suitable to their colors. The Russian
portion of this wonderful collection Of
inscriptions is said to be in letters Of
pure gold, each capital stem being six
and fourth inches long and four.
hfths Of an inch in width. Among the
languages which one would hardly ex-
pect to find represented are tho
Hebrew, the Chinese, the Coptic, the
Tartarian, and the Japanese. The
Arabian, as it had been task to relin-
quish Mohammedism, ends with "Great

THE WASP'S MISSION.
1t 10 an Insect That Has Its Usefulness
in Life.

In Lilo.
Most people, especially those who
have been brought into contact with
the wrong end of one, will be disposed
to doubt the utility Of the wasp, that
handsome insect that creates so much
terror when it invades our rooms or
buzzes about our heads in country
lanes Yet really even the wasp has
its use, and naturalists tell us 1t plays
a very important part in the economy
Of nature, says Golden Days.
What hawks, kites, ravens, owls and
birds of prey generally are in the case
of held-mice and other small destruc-
tive animals, the wasp is to the grubs
and other pests that injure plant life.
The wasp is very useful, particularly
in orchards. The young pupR in the
nest are fed entirely on the grubs
which infest the fruit trees, and but
for the activity Of the wasp these pests
would become so numerous as to do
serious injury to the tree.
1t is quite true that the wasp also
levies toll upon the fruit, but, as his
labors have contributed largely to the
salvation Of the crop, that portion
which he eats should not be grudged
him.
1t should be understood that q wasp
is quite harmless, unless It is forced to
defend itself; then it is undoubtedly
violent, and makes free use Of the
weapon which nature has given It to
use In fighting Its enemies
But, il you leave it alone, q wasp will
not sting, although, OF course, IL il
safer not to let it get too near you, lest
it mistake you for an enemy, with nc
pleasant consequences

A COMICAL ARMY.

Corea.

The Harmless Defenders Of the King Of
Corea.
The true comicality Of the Korean
court, says the Pail Mall Gazette, can
not be properly estimated except when
tho king goes in state through the city.
From an early hour IN the morning, on
one Of these occasions, the streets were
guarded by military Of Q kind to be
seen nowhere else.
The infantry held the roadway, and
were for the most part lying asleep up
on the ground. They had almost as
many flags as men, and their muskets,
which l examined as they stood piled
together, were commonly destitute Of
either hammer, trigger or plate, some
times Of all three, and were frequently
held together only by strings, while
the bayonets were bent and rusty.
Infinitely more remarkabl however,
were the cavalry. These were clad in
uniforms probably sope three hun
dred years old, consisting Of bat
tered helmet with spike, and Of n
cuirass Of black leather studded with
brass bosses. and worn over a heavy
jerkin OF moth-eaten brocade.
Enormous jack boots complete the
costume, and, anl rendered 1t difficult
for the men to mount their steeds, even
though these were rarely more than
eleven hands high.
Banners Of yellow, red and green
with tuft of pheasant feathers at the
top, and stacks OF arrows, were carried
in front of the officers, who were with
difficulty supported by squires upon
their pYramidal saddles.

The evidence deduccd by some curious

ed In Mystery.
What the learned DR.. Aiken once
called "a Visible Image Of an Invisible
Thing" in fact the emblem, has SO lit
tie record in modern times, that even
the encyclopedias give concerning II
only the dictionary definition. Yet
two centuries ago It formed the subject
for the work Of some Of the best
writer's, painters and engravers Of Eu-
rope; while antiquity has illustrated 1t
In a myriad Of forms, the meaning Of
which is In thousands Of instances lost
to us in the mystery and darkness that
overshadows the history Of so much Of
human life.
Any object which presents at a
glance meaning beyond its mere ap-
pearance is an emblem. The torch for
illumination, the scales for Justice, the
anchor for Hope, the owl for Wisdom,
the butterfly for the Soul, the scythe
and hour-glass for death. The first at
tempt at writing was emblematical,
and Chinese writing is so to this day.
So were the Egyptian hieroglyphics
and the same can be said OF our own
Indian picture writing.
All coinage, from the first Hebrew
shekel to the last American dollar; all
the flags Of all nations; all state or na-
tional seals, are emblematical Of some-
thing. The cross, the crown, the scep-
ter, the miter, every church steeple in
every land, mosque, minaret and pago-
da, temple and shrine, idol and fetish,
all are emblems.
Every letter in every language, every
figure, the sign Of every trade and pro
fession, the roses Of England, the lilies
Of France, Ireland's shamrock and
Scotland's thistle, are all emblems.
And yet, strangely enough, it is only
by persistent search that one can find
out even the least about the origin OF
this class Of art, the meaning Of its
varied forms, the hidden sense being
often lost utterly while only the form

whether you ordered him or not"
"Oh. very we'll, take him In, said the

When Isaac Hopper, the Quaker
philanthropist, met boy with a dirty
face or hands, he would stop him and
inquire IL he had ever studied chem
istry. The boy, with o wondering
stare, would of course answer In the
negative. "Well, then, I will teach
thee how to perform a curious chemical
experiment" Hopper would say: go
home, take a piece Of soap, put 1t in
water and rub it briskly on thy hands
and face. Thou hast no idea what .

much winter thy skin will be. That's

LOST.

Saturdays Minneapolis Journal con-
tains the following dispatch from
Renville, concerning a young man
whose home is in this county, and
who studied law in this city:
r. t. Daily, eX-county attorney of
this county and chairman of the
Democratic central committee, has
been practicing law in this village for
several years and during that time
has gained many friends who do not
know what to think of his sudden
and unaccountable disappearance.
About a month ago he left this vii
lage ostensibly for the purpose of
visiting relatives in Blue Earth
county. Nothing was thought of his
absence until this week when it turns
out to be strange fact that no one in
this village has heard from him since
he left and his whereabouts is now
unknown. AS his accounts here are
all straight with good balance in
his favor at one of the banks no cause
can be assigned for his disappearance
and many of our people suspect that
he has been foully dealt with. Any
one knowing of his whereabouts will
confer great favor by addressing It.

State Bank, of this village.
