And do the dirty work they want to
be done around the Jail, such as inter-
view other prisoners and get alleged
confessions from them and duplicating
circumstances Of different kinds, don't
you?"

"In this instance you seem to have
been pretty handy around the jail?"
ut appears that way: yes, SIR"
WHO spoke to you about getting this
confession?"
mo one."
"You just all at once saw a man in
trouble, and Of course, being one Of those
high-minded gentlemen that never have
been in jail, or anything of the kind, but
for the good of the public you just threw
the door Of your heart open and set about
getting confession from the mani"
A TENDER CONSCIENCE
"It was from my own conscience did
it. That Is why I did it,
Ibid your conscience hurt you much?"
Eyes sir; to carry the load; to know

after the reporter left, about I or
o'clock, he brought the question Of the
handouts up, and I asked him how he
was going to explain that away, and he
said there was not another pair of hand
cuffs around like them, and I asked him
why he didn't throw them away, and he
said that he had planned 1t just like he
had planned the rest of it Of putting
them away that night. 1t was Sunday
! hight, and he told me he was going to
throw all the stuff away that night, or

Longevity Influenced by Water.

Solid and dry as the human body ap-
pears, water constitutes more than one
fourth of its bulk, and all the functions Of
life are really carried on in water bath,
and, although the sense OF thirst may be
trusted Co call for a draft of water when
required, tho fluid can be imbibed most
adyontageously for many reasons besides
merely satisfying thirst. In the latter
stage Of digestion, when communion of
the mass is incomplete, it is much facili-
tated by moderate draft Of water, which
disintegrates and dissolves the contents Of
the stomach, fitting IL for emulgcnce and
preparing IL for assimilation. Hence the
habit OF drinking water in moderate guam
titles between meals contributes To health
and indicates the fact that those who visit
health resorts for the purpose of imbibing
the waters of mineral springs might profit
by staying at home and drinking more
water and less whisky.
Water is the universal solvent of nature
and the chief agent i'm all transformations
of matter. When taken into an empty
stomach. 1t soon begins 10 pass out through
the tissues into the circulation To liquefy
etfete solids, whose excretion from the sys-
tenn is thus facilitated. Very few people
think of the necessity of washing the in
side AS well as the outside OF the body, and
he who would be perfectly healthy should
be as careful about the cleanliness Of his
stomach a. that OF his skin.-New York
Ledger.

DIDN'T WANT THE HOPS.
Tho Grower Evidently Knew . Good
Thing When He Saw 1t.

This hop story is "too good TO kee.a -
and il Is true TO the letter. A few years
ago Burlington hop grower came into the
Office of our neighbor, A. Lane, with a
sample Of his hops, just harvested and
baled He asked IL he was buying hops.
Yes, he was. The sample was then shown
and the question asked what would he
give for them.
"They are so poor" said Mr.. Lane,
"that l. can make you no offer for them.
II know they are little of color, " said
the grower. But certainly you can pay
something for them Make me an offer. +"
"No, really cannot. There is no mar
ket for such hops"
Cant you give me 10 cents for themS"
Il cannot "
"Wcll, that's rather tough. But you
can tell me what / better do with the
hops"
"My advice TO you is this: Do not show
that sample TO any one else. 1t will give
your hops bad name. But go home, keep
quiet about them, and tho first buyer that
comes along and makes you an offer, don't
talk about the hops, but take him up at
once"
1t was about this time that Mr. Lane
haG employed new and rather inexperi-
enced man, who, however, was hop grow
er, To go out and buy him 100 bales of
"really choice hops at not over Is cents.
A few days later the Burlington grower
drove up to the Iron Clad on u load of hops
and shouted out, II say, Mr.. Lane, where
will you have these hops takeny"
"What hops-not those you offered to
sell mey'
"Sartin sure, squire, tho Same hops.
"But did not buy thom:"
"True but your agent did, and L sup
posed there must have been pretty big
rise In n few days"
Take them down TO our storehouse and
come in for your money"
This was done. and then Mr.. Lane said
to his Burlington customer: Here is your
check. have done you favor, and now
will give you the opportunity TO do me
one.
"What is it? I'd like to accommodate
you if | can"
at is this: You draw tho money on this
check, deposit it TO your credit, give me
your check for half the money and then
draw your hops away and sell them to
some one else--pcrhaps for i6 cents. y
THANK you, squire But | believe
don I want to buy those hops. "-Coopers

A LITERARY CHOICE.

I've read and I've read an1 I've read, = !
Der hundreds Of books have pored,
But give me the book that reads as II 10
Was writ with the point Of a sword.
Inks all very well in its way,
But don't want ink any more.
The book that want is one that's been
writ
With grewsomely gurgling gore.
And, while am fond of my sleep,
My mods and my maps I'll forsake
For the tale that is warranted night after
night
TO keep me a-staring awake.
A tale that is made up entire
OF thunder and blizzards and sea
And musSets and cannon and sabers and
shot
Is the tale that will satisfy me.

GUTHRIE STORM-SWEPT.
WALL OF WATER SIX FEET HIGH AND A
MILE WIDE
Sweeps Upon the Oklahoma Town.

Wednesday morning, mighty wall of water
from six to eight feet high and mile wide
broke upon Guthrie, the capital of Oklahoma,
without any warning whatever, crushing houses,
sweeping away property and drowning people.
Everything movable was swept away, and the
destruction of life and property was terrible.
Scores of people are known to have been killed.
and many are missing and probably drowned
Many people floated down stream before they
could be reached by rescuing parties, any many
passed the night in trees in mid-stream.
The food is supposed to have been caused by
heavy rains.

MRS. LEASES EASTER POEM.

Truth the light of ages
Prosecuted and falsihed
Snecred at by scholars and sages,
With contumely crucihed.
Deep buried in midnight darkness
When Error lifts its head,
Stoned by the jeering rabble,
Counted among the dead
But 10 the great stone of Falsehood
From the tomb is rolled away,
And radiant Truth unframed,
Comes forth in the light Of day.
Unheeding creed and dogma
1t stands on the heights above,
To plead with sin sick world
For the Christly law of Love,
And the hearts of men responsive
To the words of truth new born
Echo with joyful cadence
The bells of Easter morn.
And now the genial, joyous girls
Go forth in proper form,
And as in sultry summer ewes,
Still keep the sidewalks warm.

last evening and effected permanent
organization. At a previous meeting a
committee of five was appointed from
