Won nv the Rabbi.

Jones was on his last legs. In fact, it
was matter of but a few days for
him, so he sent for three ministers-a
Presbyterian, Methodist, and Jew
ish rabbi-and told them that if they
each put 500 in his coffin he would
leave them $1,000 each in his will. He
died shortly after, and the day after he
was buried the Methodist minister met
the Presbyterian and asked him if he
puts his 500 in the casket.
Il did," said the Presbyterian minis,
ter.
I'm what form did you put it in?"
asked the Methodist minister.

"Well, you'll get your $1,000"
"How did you put yours in?"
Il put in a crisp new 500 bill"
"Well, you'll get your $1,000 too"
Just then they saw the rabbi across
the street, and they called him over and

Don't Wear starched Linen.

Prof. Max Rubner, who lectures on
hygiene at the Berlin University, has
published very interesting article on
the use of starched laundry in summer.
After extensive and careful investiga-
ton he has come to the conclusion that
starched linen forms a very strong OBJ
stacle to the discharge of heat, and this
influence becomes stronger in the same
proportion as the outside temperature
rises. This seems to prove that the
starching of shirts is a rather unrea-
sonable custom. In winter, when we
try hard to retain our bodily heat, the
protection given by starched linen Is
very small, on account of the low tenn
perature on the outside, and in sum.
mer, when we try as hard to cool off as
much as possible, starched linen ener-
getically keeps the heat in. 1t Is true
enough that with the rising tempera-
ture perspiration will dissolve the
starch, but even then it is very dis.
agreeably felt. In this condition it
closes up the pores of the linen and
renders difficult the entrance of dry air
to the skin, and it is just the fresh and
dry air that gives us GOODNESS In sum.
mer. Prof. Rubner closes his argument
with the advice to leave off the use Of
starched linen entirely in summer, and,
if possible, also in winter, although he
admits that custom and fashion will
hardly allow starched linen to cisap.

Billy Capstan and Teddy Luff, two
middle-aged fishermen, stood, or rath-

smeared wooden buildings at the front
of the old town of Hastings; a building
used for the hanging of nets and the
storing of other paraphernalia OF the
fishing industry Their boat, The So

on the pebbly beach. and the two men,
silently smoking short clay pipes with
bowls turned downwarCs, now ana

of which they were part owners. Ac-
cording to the poem there should have
been three fishers who went sailing to
the west as the sun went down, but In
this case the third, who was skipper
and predominant partner of the craft,
was, as Teddy Luff phrased it, lying up
for repairs. Both men knew that he

The smallest elephant Is one from
Sumatra, which was recently exhibited
in Berlin. Three years old, it stands
only 36 inches from the ground. 1t Is
a little over one yard in length, and
weighs 1853 pounds. The normal ele-
phant weighs at the same age at least
three tons. A pigmy race Of camels
exists in Persia which are only % inch

NoOsin& q Sea.Lion.

A correspondent of RAMS Horn mar

Near TillamoOk, Ore, an old German
farmer CHANGED to be driving along the

greeted by the sight of large sea-lion
some distance out on the sand, fast
asleep.

INDIANA LYNCH LAW.
DETAILS OF THE RIPLEYCOUNTY
AFFAIR.
Summary Punishment Visited Upon
a Gang of Evil Characters-People
Tire of an Extended Series of Grim.
Deed of Infuriated Mob,

The lyhching of the FIVE Osgood men
at Versailles, the county seat of Ripley
County, has, perhaps, no parallel in the
history of Indiana. The prisoners were
confined in the county Jail on the charge
of burglary. They all resided in the town
of Oseood, and were supposed to belong
to an organized band Of thieves and high
waymen which has been robbing and ter
rorizing the citizens of Ripley County for
a number of years. They were awaiting
trial for having attempted to break into
the general store of Wooley Bros. ut Cor
rect Saturday night. Gordon and An
drews were captured at the time after
running fight, and after each lad been
severely wounded. The other prisoners
were detained on the charge Of having
assisted in the attempted burglary, and
whose guilt seemed evident. Public feel
ing had been aroused against the pris-
oners because they had SO often escaped
the penalties of the law.
Sheriff Henry Bushing and wife were
away from home. He had been badly
wounded while trying to capture the men
Saturday night, and the Jail was in charge
of his brother-in-law, W. T. hennen,
turnkey, and William Black. At 12:45
o'clock they were aroused by the ringing
Of the door bell. Kennen and Black went
down and opened the door. Three mask
ed men with a revolver in each hand con-
fronted them. The leader said: Hold
up your hands! We demand the keys Of
the jail" Kennen looked into the muz-
zles of six revolvers, and after some re-
sistance was taken to the kitchen and
found the keys. Kennen and Black were
locked in a cell and three men with re-
volvers made their way through the graf
ing and others went to find the prisoners,
who lad all retired.
In the lower cellrOOms were confined
Levi, Shuler and jenkins, and there the
visitors proceeded first. Levi was first
awakened, and, refusing to throw up his
hands at the command of the leader, two
pistol shots were heard, and he fell to the
floor pierced to the heart. Shuler, lying
on his cot, refused to get up, but begged
for his life. A stroke upon the head from
a heavy stick silenced him, and he rolled
to the floor. jenkins fate was similar,
and the three bodies were carried to the
main corridor, and the lynchers made
their way upstairs, where Gordon and
Andrews were found. They, being wound
ed, submitted without much effort. Their
hands were tied behind them, ropes were
placed around their necks and they were
dragged down the stairway where their
companions lay. Ropes being placed
around the necks of all the order was
given, "Pull on the ropes, boys, and hurry
up"
