Labor CommissiOner's Case.

Attorney General Crawford has rem
dered an opinion on the case OF 5. A.
Wheeler, COMMISSIONS of labor statistics,
against whom charges were filed by EN-
met Cole. He holds that the commits
sioner is a state officer, and the only
method of removal is by impeach-
menl as provided by article IL Of the con-
stitutiOn; that section 8 of chapter 81, laws
of 1890, allowing the removal of thai official
by the Governor is unconstitutional and
invalid, and that under the constitution
the Governor has neither power of removal
nor suspension of a state officer. The at
tOrney general states, however, that when
proper charges against a state officer are
filed with the Governor it is his duty as an
executive TO investigate the same and re-
port his findings to the legislative de-
partment of the state. Under the opinion
the Governor called a hearing, but for
several good reasons the hearing was post
poned to October %, when Cole will be
given an opportunity to present testimony
in support Of the charges he has made.

Art OF Remembering.

The art of rendering artificial aid TO
the memory by associating in the mind
things difficult to remember with those
which are easy of recollection. is said to
have originated with the Egyptians.
The first person to reduce it to a sys-
ten was, according to Cicero, the poet
Simonides, who lived 800 B. G. His
plan is known as the topical, or local
ity, plan, and was In substance as fol
lows: Choose a large house with a
number Of differently furnished apart
ments in it.. Impress upon the mind
carefully all that is noticeable in the
house so that the mind can readily 60 over
the parts. Then place q series Of ideas
in the house; the first in the hall. the
next In the sitting-roOm, and so on with
the rest.
Now, when one wishes TO recall these

ideas in their proper succession, CON-.
mence going through the house, and
the idea placed in each department will
be found to readily recur to the mind in
connection with it.
1t is related that the mnemonic plan
was first suggested to the poet by Il
tragic occurrence. Having been called
from a banquet just before the roof Of
the house fell and crushed all the rest
of the company, he found on returning
that the bodies were so mutiIated that
no individual could be recognized. but
by remembering the places which they
had severally occupied at the table he
was able to identify them. He was
thus led to notice that the order or
places may by association suggest the
order Of th~ings.-Iadies' Every SatMr.

The sheep has undergone more mOdi-
fication at the hands Of man than any
other animal. All the rest of our do
nestle animals have proved their ca
pacity to reaSsumc the habits of their
wild ancestors. but no once tanned sheep
has taken to a life OF independence.
This is at first surprising. because
many kinds. such as the Scotch noun
tain sheep and those upon the high
lands Of Chill and Patagonia. manage
to live and thrive with very little aid
from their masters. Yet it Is found
that even the hardy pampas sheep can
not hold his own when that aid Is
wanting. If man were to become ex-
tinct in South America the sheep
would not survive him half a dozen
years. There are three chief reasons
for this. and all of them are OF peculiar
interest.
In the first place, the sheep is, al Il
rule. a timid and defenseless animal,
and at the same time is neither swift
o cunning. 1t falls IN easy prey to
the meanest of the wolf tribe. A sin
gle coyote OF a fox-terrier dog could de-
stroy a thousand in a few days. Then
It Is found hat the young lambs and
their mothers require especial care and
nursing. If they do not get it at the
critical time. the flock owner will lose
them by the hundred. 1t is a common
thing in the south-downs for the shep-
herd not to leave his flock day or night
during the whole lambing season. Last
ly, scarcely any modern sheep shed
their wool naturally, in the same way
that the horse sheds Its thick winter
coat.-Dr. Louis Robinson in North

TO PRISON
HlNSHAW FOUND GUILTY OF
NUMBERING HIS WIFE.
jury Out Only Two Hours When 1t
Brings in "a Verdict - Defendant
Did 1t.


Rev. William e. Hinshaw is guilty Of
the murder of his wife and will spend the
remainder Of his life in prison. Such is
the verdict of the Danville. Ind, jury
after being out two hours and twenty
minutes.
Jan. 10 last William T.. Hinshaw was
found on the road in front of his house in
Belleville, Hendricks County. with sew
enteen razor cuts on his person and two
pistol wounds. He said robbers had en-
tered the house and shot his wife. He
had engaged in a deadly encounter with
them and they had inflicted the wounds
before leaving. He directed those who
found him to hunt his wife, and she was
found unconscious with a bullet in her
head. She lived sixteen hours, but never
spoke. Hinshaw lay in bed for ten days
and was then well. His story was be-
lieved at first. then suspicion began to
grow that the burglar story was not rea-
sonable. In the snow on the ground his
tracks could be seen, but no tracks Of a
burglar. His conduct was fiippant and he
continued to preach. He was popular
with the women and it was common talk
he was a very light-hearted widower. The
grand jury convened and he was indicted,
arrested, and lay in Jail since May. His
friends gathered around him and visited
him constantly in Jail.
Sept. 4 his trial commenced. The trial
has covered four weeks, one week of
which time was lost through the sickness
Of a juror. The trial has been most bit
terly contested, there being expert testi-
mony of the highest order on the point Of
whether the woman could have walked
and talked after receiving the fatal
wound in the head. Both sides had ex-
pert testimony on this.
The case was argued five days and one
half most eXhaustively and RE short
time the jury was out showed that the
jury determined every point as they went
along. The verdict meets public approval.
When the defendant refused to go on the
stand in his own behalf there was moth.
ing more needed to convince most people
that he was guilty. although a hanged
jury was the most thcy expected out Of
the trial. Hinshaw's attorneys will file
an application for { new trial. which, if
granted, will result in a change of venue.

Get farmers to ride wheels and the
road question is settled.
1t is a typical American scene: The
harvest time, that is now under full
Roadway in most of the States of the
Union. has its spare moments for the
thrifty farmer. though it is a very busy
season. But even in these spare mo-
ment the agriculturist is busy with his
thoughts. The road making is over
for now" On one side of this print
tive highway. great, rough ridges of
sod n clay have been plowed nj of
the bottom of the roadside ditch and
scraped up to make the roads. The
way know better than to walk in these
heaps while the other side of the road is
smooth. SO does the country swain.
riding home from meeting or country
side dance with his best girl. In short,
so does everybody. How, then, are
these rough ways to be made plain?
But just wait. The farmer looks limo.
cent enough. and TO judge by his road
making, you wouldn't think he knew
much. These teamSters and the gen
eral public may think that they can
travel these highways for nothing. and
that they have what city folks call Il
'cinch' on the downtrOdden son of the
soil. AS o as harvest time is over
that other side will be heaped ur so
much higher and rOugller that the way
farer, or he who's a horseback or in a
vehicle, will be glad to take the side
he now despises. The teamster with
a thousand Of brick will help TO make
one or t'other of these sides smooth
before fall. If not. the cOmmiserating
and pulverlZing qualities Of Jack Frost,
or a good covering of snow. may fix
things before next spring. Now such
hOrrid, slipshOd business as this is not
at all characteristic OF this farmer on
the farm. II you go ard look you will
find that he has all the latest improved
farm machinery, good horses, blooded
cattle and sheep, and is in general a
rather go-ahead sort of a man-always
excepting that awful. awful road in
front Of his place. When he gets
around to it," ! am sure he will see
that this cry for good roads is moi all
in the interest of those bicycle people.
Anyhow. what is the matter with the
agriculturist getting a wheel for him
self?-L. A. W. Bulletin.
