A SMOKERS REQUEST.
His Perfect Contcntment Was Broken
by But One Incident.


The following story CT q German
Diogencs is perfectly authentic:
When Sing Frederick William ".
visited the Rhine provinces, in the
year 1913, he made a short stay at
Wese!, where he called at The house
OF the oldest man of his kingdom,
aged lOG years. He found him com
forta5ly seated in an old arm chair,
smoking a pipe his inseparable
companion. On the kings arrival,
he rose to his feet and stepped for.
ward. few PAGES, but his majesty
made him sit down again, and talked
to tTim with the greatest freedom,
the old man putting away at his pipe
als the time. When about to leave
the king asked him if lie had any
wish that it was in his power to
CRAFTY.
mo, thanks, your majesty, have
all z want in this world, was the
reply.
Really! Just think for moment;
we ,mortals have generally some par
tksular desire or aspiration
1'Well, sir. now come to think OF
it. & might have a favor to ask. My
doctor insists on my taking a wall;
every day on the ramparts. Every
tame I pass the powder magazine The
sentry shouts to me from atar
'Take the pipe out of your mouth,

goes out every time. Now, If you1
maSesty would be good enough t'
order the sentry to let me smoke N,
pipe in peace all the way ! shoul(
consider it the greatest kindness
YOU could confer on me for the res
Of my natural life.
The order was given. and the OK
r fellow enjoyed the privilege for NOR

WORKED IN BOTH CASES.
But the Orthodoxy of the Remedy
Might Be Questioned.

The scientific mind is often exer-
cised to account for the reason of
certain ceremonial remedies of saw
age and primitive peoples which,
while absurd by reason Of the man
ner of their administration, have In
them, nevertheless, substratum Of
truth. Accident will account for
the discovery Of the remedy in
great many instances, and the de-
sire for power would induce the "doc-
! tor or medicine man to surround
the remedy with an elaborate ritual
In order that he might act on the
credulity of human nature and min.
lister to its love Of mystery. In the
Sunday Magazine Rev. S. Barring
Gould relates the following story,
and, apart from its humor, It is
interesting to speculate on the prob
able outcome Of q similar incident In
more superstitious times:
IA poor woman came to the par
son Of parish with the request:
Please, pass'n, my ou'd sow be took
cruel bad. wish now you'd be CO
good as to come and say prayer
over her. The parson protested
\ that it would degrade his sacred
a office, but the woman, being very
( importunate and beginning to sob
4 to pacify her he went to the cottag
N to see the SOW. Raising his RICH
N hand in solemn manner, he said
4 ''If thou livest, o pig then tho
< Invest; if thou diest, O pig! the
Y thou diestr Singularly enough tn
y pig recovered. Some time after tn
N parson, falling i'll with quinsy thu
N nearly choked him, the woman wet
4 to see him when he was almost in e,
y tremis, and, raising her hand, 81
Y pointed to him with her finger, sa
~ ing: If thou Invest, O pass'n! the
N thou Invest; If thou diest, O pass
n then thou diestH An explosion
4 laughter burst the quinsy, and t

The "silver club" meeting adver-
tised to take place last night was
not 16 to l affair by Jug full but
was recorded in the morning press
as ] to l6 affair-one was present
and sixteen was absent. We would
have thought the president would
have been on hand, knowing his love
for talk. 1t is too bad that our en-
thusiasm should be allowed to die
out so soon for the precious white

We learn that a new time card is
being fixed up for the 30 inst, by
the 7. & P. and Iron Mountain
roads. But one change is spoken
of-early morning train from the
West to get here at about 2 o'clock
a. m. and go out on the Iron Noun
tain about 2:15 or 2;30 instead of
1905 as now. This will be very in
convenient for the travelling public
along the Iron Mountain from this
city to Little Rock, as it will leave
no day passenger train north for
small places like Fulton. We GER
tainly hope this change will not
be effected, or if it is, that another
day passenger train will be put on
going north from Texarkana.

Murderers Die in the Chair.

DANNEMORA, n. Y, Oct. 29.-Today
for the second time only in the history
of this state, two murderers paid the
penalty of their crimes on the same day
and before the same set of witnesses.
George III. Smith, who murdered Aid.
Phillip Hichmeyer of Albany, and
Charles n. Davis, who killed 6-year-old
Maggie Shannon at Cohoes, were killed
i'm the electric chair at Clinton prison,
the twenty-eighth and twenty-ninth
subjects of electrical execution. These
We're also examples of quick justice,
both being convicted during the third
week i'm September, and no appeal be-
ing taken to the higher court.
Smith was the first man brought in.
He was strapped In the chair within u
minute and current of $50 volts was
sent through the body for five seconds
and then reduced to 200 volts for
twenty-five seconds. Then the first
current was turned on for second and
he was declared dead. A pause of a
few minutes occurred while Smith S
body was being removed. Davis was
brought in, and within three minutes
he was pronounced dead. In neither
case was there suspicion of life after
the first shock.-Chicago Record.
