reason of exciting features. there is

there are many such counties, the fact

a jury which fulfllls the fore going de-

chances, but hire 1t for life and attach
it as a permanent feature to the courts.

Why Two Ears,

1t was saying of wise man that
we have one mouth and two ears in
order that we may listen twice us
much as we speak.
A teacher once quoted this remark
to her pupils, according to the Phila-
deiphia Times, and not long afterward,
to see how well her instruction was
remembered. she asked:
hy is 1t that we have two ears
and only one mouth, Frances?'
Frances had forgotten the philoso-
piers explanation, but she thought
the question not very hard one.
"Because," she said, 1--WE should not
have room in our face for two mouths,
and we should look too crooked if we
had only one ear"
"No, no." said the teacher "that is
not the reason. You know. don't you

MarInss Landed 1t ChemuIpo and Pro-
tectorate Established.
London, Feb. 1.-THE Times prints
dispatch from Kobe. Japan, this
Morning, which says:
News from Seoul, Corea, proves that
Russia made a remarkable coup on the
night of February 10. On that night
200 Russian marines with field gun,
were landed at Chemulpo and marched
to Seoul.
The king secretly left the palace for
the Russian legation. whence he pro-
claimed his ministers guilty Of trea-
son. Two of the ministers were ar
rested and executed and the other
fed.
The Tai Won Kun, the father of the
king, is a prisoner at the legation.
An anti-Japanese ministry was then
formed. A bitter feeling has been
aroused in Japan. A cabinet council
was held, attended by the military Of
ticials
1t is reported the Russian minister
declared that Russia was not responsi-
BILE, and that he merely afforded pr,-
lection ut the kings request. But II
is believed this precludes a Russian
protectorate over COrea.

Attacked By a whltecap Hand.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 17.-IAst night
eight white caps, their heads and face,
covered with flour sacks, visited the
home of John II. Hirschler, in Nesi
county, and warned the family to quit
the county. They are important wit
fn- tho afnta In the "ase of thf
state against william Vagan, who !:
charged with malicious perjury In u
criminal case. Hirschler refused ia
leave, whereupon the white caps used
violence. In the struggle Hirschler LOST
one ear and his wife was beaten. She
undertook to beat of the assailant with
a bed slat, and finally grappled with the
man and bit off one of his fingers. The
marauders then fed. Constables are
guarding the Hirschlers to prevent their
flight, and to protect them from further
violence. There Is great excitement In
the township.

patched last summer on second trip to
the jungles of Africa by the African
Research society Of Chicago, has re-
turned. He went for the purpose Of
completing his monkey alphabet and
learning more about the language Of

University of Chicago was one of the
hackers of Prof. Garner's enterprise.
Prof. Garner returns, he says, with
much new information. He has In his
portfolio a photograph of the most
brutal gorilla man in Africa. This
gorilla man would be called In Aus

Prof Garner considers that his mis-

oETTLRD rHE DIFFICULTY.

After Cussing Each Other the I've Nis-
soarians Became Good Friends.
''Cussin' out" used to be one OF the
ways Of settling controversies in the
Ozark country. says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. It originated with old Ux
Findley and John Carter. The Find
leys came from Georgia. Old Uz took
. great interest In politics and wher-
ever he went he was followed by = ven
rable negro named Bosen. whose duty
1t was to steer his master home when
he needed help. At one Of the early
elections old .Uz and John Carter BE-
came very angry at each other. 1t
looked as II nothing but fight could
settle the issue between them. when
suddenly old Uz shouted: Mr.. Car
ter. stand and be cussed."
Carter removed his hat, walked out
about ten PAGES from the crowd and
told old Uz to go ahead. Findley re-
moved his hat and walking out in front
of Carter said. with deliberation and
emphasis: 'Mr. Carter. II this earth
was one piece of parchment and the sea
one basin of ink and every quill upon
earth was one quill and had the power
to use that quill. that parchment and
that ink, would fall short, sir. Of being
able to describe the corruption OF your
old heart. SIR
Carter never said a word. but stood
with uncovered head until Uz was
through. Then he said: "Mr. Findley.
stand, sir. until cuss you" Old Us
bowed his head and Carter said: "Mr.
Findley. had all of the talents ever
produced in Europe and America COM
bined in solid phalanx and was to un-
dertake to speak of you l would then
fall short of describing the corruption
of your old heart. sir
This settled the difficulty. The two
men resumed friendly relations. The
custom of that "cussin' out" was thus
introduced in the Ozark country.
