Don't Lasso Dogs There.

Down in Oklahoma they have many

lave no master.
Not long ago a Kansas City man
stood on one Of the principal streets

down, and figuring on the tablet Of
his mind a future great city. when up
the street he heard the report Of q gun

Didn't Understand Banking.


Not many days ago a stout, motherly
I'D woman presented herself at one of
the teller's windows in the First Ma
honal Bank, and, making a confidant of
the dapper young man behind the wire
screen, said:
me bye, Jamesey, Is In throuble ant
u want to sind him some money"
The sympathetic teller expressed
deep interest In the afflicted parents
woes and kindly asked what sort of
rouble "Jamesey" had got himself Into.
"Wid dhe coppers, ov coorse," the
mother answered, unhes.tatingly.
They have him In the calaboose, se
they do"
"And wherein what city-is he?
asked the teller.
I'm Ny Yorick."
"Weh, then, 1 think the best thing to
10 Is to get New York draft" said tho
teller.
Instantly the good old woman's man
Ter changed. She stepped backward a
pace, placed her hands on her hips and
looked defiance at the teller a. shs
blurted out:
young man, don't git gay wid me.
I'm not here fur foolin' and I've got NJ
time to 60 to Ny Yorick"
She was pacified by dtnt Of mucl
,ersuasion. and induced to purchase a
New York draft In Chicago, and 1t 10
bo be presumed that "Jamesey" has 60
out Of "throuble."

As to Hypnotism.

No less q parsonage than DR.. Park.
hurst has taken the trouble to point
out anew that nobody ever heard Of
anybody's being hypnotized to make
him do something good. Hypnotism,
the doctor thinks from the evidence, is
always exerted to promote evil and for
that reason he is inclined to condemn
Il
The fact commented on by the doctor
has often been spoken of, but 1t really
constitutes no fault of hypnotsm. II
Is simply the fault Of human nature.
Man gravitates toward the bad. When
|hypnotism Is exerted In the same direc-
ton with this natural gravitation 1t is
effective. When 1t is exerted in the op-
posite direction it Is simply trying to
| pull the load uphill and 1t fails. There
are no doubt plenty Of persons, espe.
cially ladies, who go about weaving
subtle hypnotic charms around men
for the noble purpose Of leading them
Alright, Just as the bad people whom
We hear Of through the police reports
go about hypnotizing for Ill. But the
good hypnotists work at tremendous
disadvantage. 1t Is upgrade for them
and downgrade for the bad hypnotists.
AS between a Svengalic friend trying
to hypnotic man to stay out and play
poker and a wife trying to hypnotic
him to come home the odds are with
the friend.
Perhaps hypnotism will develop 10 a
point where it can overcome this ma
tural disadvantage. Or perhaps man.
kind will get over the brow Of The hill
so that the way to good will be a down
grade.-Chicago News.

ROBINSON cRUsoe's ISLAND

Rented from Chilean Government a
q 700 Year, Partly Paid In Fish.
It Is not generally known that JuaI
Eerpandez+the island on which Alex
ander Selkirk, the Robinson Crusoe OF
romance, lived for 80 many years-ia
at the present time inhabited. TIVE
valleys, winding down from different
directions, join q short distance back
from the shore, says the Melbourne
Argus, and there now stands a little
village Of small huts scattered rounc
long, one-storied building with q
veranda running its whole length. In
this house lives the man who rents
the island from the Chilean govern.
ment, and the village is made up Of .
few German and Chilean families.
The tiny town is called San Juar
Bautista, and the crater-like arm Of
the sea on which 1t is situated, and
where Alexander Selkirk first landed,
Is now called Cumberland Bay The
island IL rented for about 81 900 q year.
The rent IL paid partly in dried fish.
Catching and drying the many varie-
ties of fish and raising cattle and vege-
tables wholly occupy the contented
settlers, and much Of their little in
come Ii obtained from the cattle and
vegetables sold to passing vessels. The
cattle need no care and the vegetables
almost grow wild. Turnips and rad

self, now grow rank and wild in the
valleys, like weeds. There is also a
race Of wild dogs which completely
,verrun the island, depending for ex-
lstence mainly upon seals. They are
descendants Of breed Of dogs left by
the Spaninrds-
At the back Of the little town, in the
arst high cliff, Is a row Of caves Of re-
markable appearance hewn Into the
sandstone. An unused path leads to
them, and q short climb brings one to
their dark mouths. About forty years
age the Chilean government thought
that q good way to get rid Of its worst
criminals would be to transport them
to the island Of Juan Fernandez. Here,
under the direction Of Chilean SOL
diers, these poor wretches were made
to dig caves to live In. In 1854 they
were taken back again, however, and
the caves have since been slowly
crumbling away.
The narrow ridge where Selkirk
watched Is now called 1.-THE Saddle"
because at either end Of 1t a rocky
hummock rises like a pommel. On one
Of these IL now a large tablet with in
scriptons commemorating Alexander
Selkirk's long and lonely stay on the
island. 1t was placed there in 1858 by
the officers Of the British ship Topaz.

the Developments OF yesterday leave little

surprise of everybody the defense yester-
day afternoon began the calling OF wilt
nesses to show the previous good charac-
tor of the young Sunday school superin-
tendent.
By the prosecution this step is inter
preted to mean that the defense has intro
flrced all of tho evidence that it has to re-
fnte the mass of testimony pilod up by the
People. II tlss, be true the verdict of the
ttry ls forgone conclusion. Not only
has the defense failed to establish an alibi
for Durrant, but 1t has actually strength
ened the case against the prisoner.

porter, who was threatened with imprison-
ment yesterday because she would not an
swer question propounded to her by the

give her another opportunity to answer
the question. She refused to disclose the
