lands AND TIE wARDEEsH1p.

Following are a few of the many COM
piimentary press notices that have
come out since Gov. Leedy has an
nounced that Hon. IL. 5. Lands will
be appointed Warden of the Penlten-
tiarg. We could produce columns of
editorials along this line but these will
be sufficient to show the drift of public
sentiment:
The appointment of Harry Lands
of Medicine Lodge as warden of the
penitentiary and of Rev. FL. B. Flehar-
ty of Eskridge as executive clerk do
not shake our confidence in Governor
Leedy's eXecu tive ability a particle.
They are both good men and well
adapted to the duties expected of them.
Gov Leedy Is undoubtedly good Judge

that day belonged to little Rene Sc

goldsmith, old Matthew, had gone to
the palace, taking with him to exhibit
in proof of his skill a splendid silver
salt cellar, wrought most cunningiy
with a dance of Provencal knights
and ladies. But the salt cellar was moi
q proof of Matthew's skill, because
the fancy that designed and the skill
that wrought it were little Rene Sc

there entered a little elderly gentleman

cone day, when my rheumatism con-
fined me to the house, she went fishing
alone. 1t was just such a day as to-
day; the sky clear, the wind high.
When the rock searchers gathered to-
gether with full baskets they perceived
that Mona failed to respond to their
calls. There was no possible doubt.
Great God, she had been delayed and
surrounded by the rising tide! She had
been drowned! All, what a night l
passed, monsieure. At my age, yes, a
hard hearted man like me, l sobbed like
a woman. And the remembrance came
to me of the poor child's belief that to
go to heaven she must be inferred In
consecrated ground. Therefore. as soon
as the tide went down, / went to the
shore, and, with the others, searched
for the body.
"And we found poor Mona" contin-
ued the old sailor in Il trembling voice.
We found her on a rock covered with
sea weed, where, knowing that she was
going to die, the poor little one had pre-
pared herself for death. Yes, mon
sieur, she had tied her skirts below the
knees with her tichu, through modesty,
and with her old idea uppermost had
attached herself to the sea weed by her
hair, her beautiful black hair, certain
that she would thus be found and in
TERED in consecrated ground. And l
can say, / who know what bravery Is,
that there is perhaps not 4 mar brave
enough to do likewise"
The old man was silent. By the last
CLEAN of the twilight 1 saw two great
tears rolling down his weather-beaten
cheeks. We descended to the village
side by side in silence. I was profound
ly touched by this simple girls courage
who, even in the agonies of death, had
retained the modesty of her sex and the
piety of her race, and before me, in the
distant immensely, in the solitudes OF
the heavens and the sea, cleaned ou1

HIS FIRE ESCAPE WAS USELESS.
Had to Use the Stairs to Go From
the Burning Building.

AL
An amusing story comes from the
Remington road about a fire escape.
It might very easily have been a serl'
GUS story, all the same. 1t seems that
q fire broke out yesterday morning in
n dwelling house over a bakers shop,
and blazed up gaily in the strong
wind. Forthwith, their trots up FIRE
man A. j. Waller with his trusty fre
escape. ct was not really trusty. but,
no doubt, he thought it was trusty.)
The occupants of the house were stilt
in the burning building. So he pltched
his machine, dashed up and forced MS
way into the upper rooms in hopes of a
gallant rescue. He found the place de-
serted. He also found, when he re-
turned to his fire escape, that there
was plenty of fire out no escape. so,
like the good people whom he had de-
sired to rescue, he was compelled to
use the stairs of the ~house-really a
terrible come-dOwn for him-and make
his way out through the back premls-
cs. The obvious moral, of course:
"lAlT's we'll" etc. But there is another,
and that is. that n fire escape should
not be left deserted without anyone to
shift it. should occasion arise.-Pall

It seems that the credit of the dis
covery Of cholera a%nti-toxine which has
been so generally given to the brilliant
young Japanese bacteriologist, Katis-
alto, is also due to DR.. Ransom, a young
American, who was studying in Berlin
under DR.. Behring, and who perfected
the process a little before Katisato did,
although the latter, we believe, made
his discovery independently, and SO
can claim equal distinction. 1t is
gratifying to know that so important a
discovery has been the work of an
American, and it would be still more
so if American meteorological labora-
tories had been sufficiently well equip
ped and endowed to provide the nee
essary opportunities and facilities for
the discovery.
