"You have read about John the Bap.

said Mr.. Wiley Of Lewiston, Me-, who
is recently home from Central America.
"Well, here's locust, and he produced
from his poke! locust. 1t doesn't hop
or jump and had no semblance Of life,
because, indeed, it was nothing but a
great pod, looking like a huge cranberry
bean pod, fully five inches long and
almost as big around us banana. 1t
had deep, mahogany colored skin of
hard consistency II have eaten bushels
of them said Mr.. Wiley. "Ihey grow
on trees US big as elms and fall to the
ground when ripe. Split them open
aud they contain yellow substance
looking like mustard. Mixed with water
it makes very delicious aud nourish-
ing drink that will sustain life for long
time. One of these pods Will make a
quart of the drink and everybody uses
them. They may not be the locusts OF
John the Baptist, but understand that
the tree grows in that land Of the Bible"

c. Ainsworth, chief Of the record and
pension division, War Department, in
dictcd for manslaughter in the case
growing out of the Ford's Theatre dis
aster Of last June, in which more than a
score OF government clerks were killed,
is now free.
Justice McComas of the criminal
court, in decision to-day, sustained the
demurrer to the indictment of Aims
worth and ordered the Indictment
quashed. This is the second indictment
against Ainsworth which has failed.
The main ground on which Judge
Nc Iomas quashei the indictment TO-
day, was that it did not show the fall.
ing Of the building was due to per.
sonal neglect on the part Of Colonel
Ainsworth.
1t is probable new indictment will
be drawn. Until Ainsworths case i:
settled no proceedings will be started

THAT BOY jim.


He was the ''deyil'-that boy. Jim;

Rough and ragged, for mischief ripe,
Running errands, distributing type;
Pelting tine neigabors ON theiy heads
With brand new furniture" "slugs" and

From early morning to evening dim;
He was the ''deyir'-that boy, jim;
Editor whaled him-all no good
Head as hard as stick of wood
Just burst out in loud ''Hooray p
And Went right Oh in his don't-care wav.
But once-when the train was passing bv,
And the editors child on the traek-O nv

Right in front of the engine there
Child was saved, but where was Jim?
With flaming lanterns they looked for him.
While the people trembled and held their

Under the engine, crushed TO death w
There in the dust and CRIME he lay
Jim! he had given his life away;
Not much need OF their tears for him;
He was an angel-that hoy. Jimi
