Ready 10 Give Information,

At n political meeting in a certain
New South Wales gold mining district
the chair was taken by an athletic
miner. says the London Figaro. The
candidate, during his speech, was much
interrupted by hootings and rough
char. and the chairman was soon In a
state of boiling Indignation. Smother
Ing his wrath, however. he pacifled the
boys" by assuring them that at the
end of the candidates speech they
should be at liberty to put any ques-
lions they chose. Accordingly, at the
end of the harangue he arose and In
quired In stentorian tones and In n
rich Irish brogue: Has inny gintle-
man question to airsk?" A stout lit
tie Welsh miner. who had been a con-
spicuous disturber of the peace of the
evening. shufied slowly up the steps of
the platform. But at the top he was
met by the chairman. who, without the
slightest warning, delivered terrific
left and Fighter and sent the Welshman
spraying on his back. "Now," roared
the chairman, has inny other gintle-
man question to airskg"-and there
was no response.

Bagpipe is a Weapon.

The bngpipe, whose stirring music
fired the blood of the Gordon High
landers as they scaled the heights OF
Dargai, enjoys, though II is not gem
orally known. the unique distinction OF
having been declared by u court of law
to be AN instrument of war In an
early volume of the SCOTS Magazine
we find 1t reported that on Nov. ID.
i7i6. James Reid of Angus was tried
for taking part in the rebellion. II
was proved for his defense that he
had never carried arms of any kind,
but on the other hand It was shown
that he had for some time ofiiciated as
piper In Highland regiment.
1t Is not unlikely that he had been
pressed In to the service. for we are
told he behaved very devoutly, prayed
fervently, and sang part OF psalm
Notwithstanding these most untradi-
tional piper traits however. the court
found poor Reid guilty of high treason
and sentenced him to suffer the pun
ishment which that crime involved. II
was held that "Highland regimen,
never marched without a piper, and
therefore, his bagpipe In the eye of the
law was an instrument of war" There
is little wonder. in the face of such q
decision, that Pennant when he came
north later in the century found the
"bagpipes becoming scarce"

BAD CASE or INCARCERATION.
An Ogden Negro and White Woman Form an
Unlawful hlliance-A Cunning Trick.

Some days ago Detective Pender.
says the Ogden Evening Press, became
aware OF the fact that a negro and a
white woman were occupying rooms to-
gether in house run by negro
woman named Emma Clark on the cor
ner of Twenty-third street and Lincoln
avenue. The officer went to the house
last Thursday night. but could discover
nothing criminal between the two and
went back again Saturday evening
when he found the man and woman in
bed together. He essayed to arrest
them when he was confronted by n
marriage license in the hands of the
woman purporting to show that they
were legally man and wife. Baked in
his intention to arrest the pair he thcn
began an investigation and the facts
developed are about az follows.
William II. Howard, the negro, on
learning that the officers We're on their
trail after Detective Pender's visit to
the house Thursday night, went 10
the county clerk and asked for n marri-
age license to marry one Ella Howarth.
Deputy Iiigginbothnm waited on him
and asked Howard II the lady was
colored and he replied that she was
The deputy then asked him where she
lived and Howard replied ''at Daven-
port. Iowa" Then said the clerk

application herself" Howard stated
that he was too busy to come back

How Fast Do You Write2

Seeking for Information, certain ques-
lions We're asked of an expert whose
profit lies, as manufacturer, In pro-
ducing one of the most popular self
feeding pens on the market. This au-
thority said that "a dip of ink ought to
write 100 words. That in an hour
about thirty drops of ink were used,
travelled some eighth Of mile. 1t all
depended on the idiosyncrasy of the
writer's"
In order TO test this u number of
"habitual and hardened" scribes were
asked to take one dip only of ink ana
they were to work off their copy In
their usual elegant or slovenly manner.
As far as average went. the result was
disheartening. One man wrote 14i
words with the one dip and another IA.
and the characters of the 144-word
man were very much more legible
than those of the 14-word man. There
was a lsdy-a graceful contributor to
journalism-and in her italian hand she
wrote eight words to the dip, and the
faster she produced copy the less words
she wrote to the single dip.
1t is the measurement of the writing
--one- eighth of a mile TO the hour
which Is curious and to think 1t possible
that there may be Industrious scribes
who write every day of their lives more
