Thieves Routed BY q Corpse.

A strange experience befell some
thieves who had broken into the parish
church at Suelli few nights ago. A
man of the name of francesca Lecca,
who was supposed to be dead, had been
taken to the church and left there for
some hours previous to his burial At
Z o'clock in the evening. while his rela-
tives were gathered around him. he
suddenly gave signs of life.
The relatives. terror-stricken. called
out loudly for help. The thieves. i'm

they had secured and escaped by the
front door Of the church. The man
who had SO strangely come to life again
really expired two hours afterward.

Obstacle to International AFbitratlon.
The real obstacle in the way of inter-
rational arbitration Is not 80 much a
ack of efficacy in the method. as the
.ack Of disposition to try it. The sys-
:em of arbitration necessarily presup-
poses that nations desire an amicable
adjustment of their differences. Such
IN adjustment may be prevented either
by a wilful opposition to it, or by the
adoption Of a style Of controversy shat
lenders argument impracticable
Against such obstacles It is dimcult to
contend. since their direct tendency and
effect is to bring about a collision be-
ore an arbitrator can intervene. It Is
,bvious that arbitration can no more
lhord an absolute safeguard against
UGH contingencies than can q system

nen from attempting to settle their DIFF
erences by fighting in the street, II they

ions. Yet severe penalties. strictly

THE STORY HELPED HIM.

HI Wsss's Renark Abe.t the Champagne
Hook.
This Is the story Of a champagne
hook. says the Washington Post
By champaign hook is meant one
Of those metal beaks in a pocketknife
which are used in breaking the wires
which secure the cork in a champagne
bottle. The hero Of the story is Repre-
sentative Hull of Iowa.
Mr.. Hull and Congressman Chicken
ing were going to Chicago on a train
together some time ago, when Chick
erinx displayed knife which Hull at
once began to admire extravagantly BE-
cause 1t had hook, which Chickering
seriously insured him was designed to
remove stones which become fastened
in . horses hoof occasionally on a
rocky road. A stone in your horses
hoof is an ugly thing to displace I'M
less you have q hook in your knife,
and Hull knew this.
We'll, governor" said Chickering.
with a secret malevolence. knowing
that Hull represented a prohibition
state, If you like the knife so well YOU
may have it."
"Oh. oh" said Hull. Il wouldn't think
OF accepting it. You must have use for
it some time on the road driving. II
your horse should ever gather a stone
in his hoof you would greatly miss this
hook"
That's all right, governor" said
Chickering. Il know where can pick
up another Just like it: so you just
take it and remember me-"
Hull accordingly accepted it. and on
reaching home showed it to his wife,
to whom he extolled the virtues OF
knives with a hook attachment for
cleaning horses hoofs, and rejoiced in
his wonderful possession.
Mrs. Hull looked at the knife anG
then at her husband.
John" said she. ANY man who has
served three terms as secretary of the
state senate, been twice lieutenant-gov-
ernor and served two terms in congress
must be pretty good man II he doesn't
know champagne-opener from hoof-
cleaner
The story leaked out and one of the
correspondents of an Iowa paper wired
it as a choice bit of gossip about state
members. 1t was copied all over the
state and commented on in a variet.
Of ways.
About this time the congressman met
the correspondent who first published
the story. He was smiling all over.
You did me great service" Hull
said. wringing his hand affectionately.
"a great service. All the prohibitionists
are taking my wife's view of my ignor-
ance and saying l must be an unusually
good man. while all the ants are in
