Arrested the Governor.

Gov. Thomas Worthington has the
unique distinction of being the only
chief official of the State ever arrested
and started for Jail. In 1915 or 1916
this worthy executive contracted with
Judge Jarvis Pike to take the timber
from the present State house ground.
The Governor at that time lived at
Chillicothe. Some misunderstanding
arose as to the settlement of the bill,
and the doughty judge sued out a
capias from the court Of Squire King,
and had Mr.. Worthington arrested and
started for the Jail. Bnt he was not
locked up, the matter being amicably
adjusted, and good feeling going all
around. That was the nearest approach
to happening of the kind.-Cleveland
Leader.

How Far Was 1t.

Southern distances are peculiar, and
the road directions which a tourist re-
ceives are sometimes wanting in the
quality of explicitness.
'How far is it from here to Brush
burg?" asked a tourist of an old fellow
who was hoeing weeds in a field OF
sickly corn "down South" 'Ts it farT'
"Waal, it haint so very fer nor it
haint so very nigh. If you 60 raound
by the big road it's ferder nor 1t Is
nigh, but if you cut acrost country it's
higher nor it is fer, an if you keep
right straight ahead it's kinder be-
twixt nigh an fer, but it's considerable

SUPERSTlTIONS.
The Momentous Part They Sometimes Play
In Human Affairs.

The MOmentOus Fart They sometimes Pk3y
In Human Affairs.
The London Truth gives the follow
ing inside view Of great historical
event said to have been hitherto un-
published:
When Sir Charles Napier had con-
quered Mehemet Ali, he found it i'm
possible to force or coax the willy Egyp-
tian into signing the treaty which only
would make his victory effective. He
had 10 interviews with Mehemet, in
which the Englishman by turns argued,
battered and threatened his antagonist,
who listened day after day with the
same immovable, smiling countenance.
One day Sir Charles, in speaking of
England said casually that it twas
governed by a lucky woman. A strange
flash passed over the pasha's counte-
rance, but he made no answer. AS soon
as Napier was gone, Mehemet sent for
the English consul, who was an Egyp-
tian, and demanded:
"You were in London when the Eng
lish queen was crowned. We're the
omens bad or good?'
"AH good"
'You think that good luck is written
on, her forehead?o O.
81 did not think upon the matter be-
fore, but now that you ask me be-
lieve that it is. When she asked Allah
to help her in her work, her eyes ran
over. Allah loves the innocent.
"No doubt of that" said Mehemet
anxiously. "She must be lucky"
Early the next morning he sent for
Sir Charles and signed the treaty. Eng
lish power and English cannon he could
brave, but not ''the luck written up
OH the forehead of good woman whom
he had never seen.
General Gordon's remarkable inhu-
ence over the Chinese was in a large
degree due. it is stated, to their belief
in his extraordinary luck. During the
Tae- Ping rebellion he was followed by an
army which did not comprehend either
his ability or his religious zeal, but which
believed that he was protected by an
invisible being who led him to victory.
No sword could wound him or bullet
kill. A certain black ebony cane which
he carried was supposed to- bezthe mag
ic talisman which brought him victory.
and General Gordon was shrewd enough
always to carry this cane when he led
them into battle.
These superstitions seem. absurd Ito
us, but they at least show that the ig
norant men who hold them believe in
an invisible power who can give good
or i'll fortune at his will. Are they more
foolish than the educated, busy man,
who recognizes no power in life stron
ger than his own will and effort?

David,s Power as a Poet.

When the peerage book of earth's
kings is finally made up the pages will
include the name of this minstrel shep-
herd boy, who passed quickly from the
sleeps cote to the kings palace and
took his place among the immortals.
The strangely checkered career of this
chiTalrous youth reminds us Of Scot
lands hero, Robert Bruce, and also Of
Robert Burns, the peoples poet. Gift
ed with strangely rich and lovable
nature, this youth moved among men
with that irresistible fascination that
only the greatest possess. He enters
the scene the child of innocence and all
sweet song. Soon, aided by his flute,
he sang his way into the kings heart,
and like sunbeam passed into the
gloomy palace. When a few months
had gone by the boy was the champion
of the army, the idol Of the people, the
dearest friend of Jonathan, and then,
with a single leap, bounded into the
throne itself. By reason Of his self
reliance and prudence, his bOldness in
attack and courage in defense, David
has been called the greatest of the jew
ish kings. But now that long time
hath passed, we all do see that he has
his fame, not because he. was a king
and born leader Of men, but because
he was poet and sang of human life
with all it's pathos and mystery. Cen
turtles ago his granite crumbled his
works became dust, but his sweet
psalms and songsado, still abide. 50
Immeasura bic the debt that civiliza-
ton owes to this youth, whose songs
have consoled mans sorrows, refined
his griefs and exalted all human life.
Be the reasons what they may, the
influence of generals, statesmen and
inventors is less deep and abiding than
the influence of those poets who have
sung of love and grief, of war and Of
the shepherd care of God. The genera
lions go forward, following the leader
ship of those who sing Of liberty and
love, of joy and grief and death. Hap
py those to whom it is given to write
the songs with which the mother
soothes her child, with which the hero
inspires his hosts.-Newen Dwight
