Tales Told In the Arena About High
Ianders.


An old gentleman is recorded to
have emerged gloriously from the diff
ficulty prepounded by a canny little
urchin in the Sunday school, who. when
Jacobs Ladder was under considera-
ton, wanted to know if "all angels had
wings?" and when answered in the af-
firmative, proceeded: ''Weel, whit did
they want tae be climbin' up an doom
a ladder for?" A CLEAN came into the
old Scotchman's eye as he responded
pawkily: "Weel, weel, my laddie, it's
gey like the angels were on the pouk,"
(moulting)
Having missed one of his students
for several Sundays, he said TO one of
her relatives: Il haena seen yeer

while. Ye ken it's her duty tae attend

Il Gamma very weel tell We that.

but she's deed"
Scotsmen are sometimes very funny
when they joke, but some of those
grim old sons of the Covenant are
even more humorous when they pray.
In an old volume, published in Edin-
burgh in 1893, entitled Scottish Pres
byterian Eloquence," is to be found
the following notice: Mr.. Areskin
prayed in the Iron Kirk last year:
Lord, have mercy on all fools an
Idiots, and particular on the magis-

singular change which had taken place
in the second captive since the episode
of the kiss. His high color remained as
If it had burned through his mask OF
Indifference. His eyes were quick, alert
and keen, his mouth half open, as II
the girls kiss still fingered there. And
that haste had made them careless, for
the horse of the man who led him
slipped in gopher hole, rolled over
unSeated his rider and even dragged
the bound and helpless second captive
from Judge Boempointer's favorite
mare. In an instant they were all on
their feet again. but in that supreme
moment the second captive had felt
that the cords which bound his arms
had slipped to his wrists. BY keeping
his elbows to his sides, and obliging the
others to help him mount, it escaped
their notice. By riding close to his
captors, and keeping in the crush of
the throng, he further concealed the
accident slowly working his hands
downward out OF his bonds.
Their way lay through a sylvan will

tall fronds brushed their horses sides

IN a strange contrast to this WhirlWind

the tremor of leaves with yellow
lances; birds started into song on blue
and dovelike wings. and on either side
of the trail of this vengeful storm could
be heard the murmur of hidden and
tranquil waters. In a few moments
they would be on the open ridge.

so glad to get off with his life that he
never thought of anything else. Yet
she did not give more than four or tive
minutes to these SpeculationS, and, like
sensible girl, though Of something
else. Once again, however, in opening
the closet she found the brown Bol-
land gown she had worn ON the day
before, thought it very becoming, and
regretted that she had not worn her
best gown on her visit to Red Petes
cottage. On such an occasion she really
might have been more impressive.
When her father came home that
night she asked him the news. No,
they had not captured the second horse
thief, who was still at large. Judge
Boompointer talked OF invoking the aid
of the despised law 1t remained then
to see whether the horse thief was fool
enough to try TO get rid of the animal.
Red PeteS body had been delivered to
his widow. Perhaps it would only be
neighborly for Salomy Jane TO ride over
to the funeral. But Salomy Jane did
not take to the. suggestion kindly, nor
yet did she explain to her father that
as the other man was still living, she
did not care to undergo a second dis
ciplining at the widows hands. Never
theless, she contrasted her situation
with that of the widow with new and
singular satisfaction. 1t might have
been Red Pete who had escaped. But
he had not the grit of the nameless one.
She had already settled his heroic quail
ity.
''Ye amt harkenin' to me, Salomy."
Salomy Jane started.
Here I'm askin' We if you've seen

The saddle, threw her arms about his
neck and pressed a kiss upon his lips.
They remained thus for a hushed mo-
ment-the man on the threshold of
death, the young woman in the fullness
of youth and beauty-linked together.
Then the crowd laughed; in the audac-

where both culprits were to expiate the

bly, prevented them from noticing the

and cries that heralded their coming.
They withheld the latter that day as
inconsistent with their dignity, but,
emerging from the wood, swept silent
ly like an avalanche down the slope.
They were well under way, looking
only to their horses, when the second
captive slipped his right arm from the
bonds and succeeded in grasping the
reins that lay trailing on the horses
neck. A sudden ''vaquero" jerk, which
the well trained animal understood,
threw him on his launches with his
forelegs firmly planted on the slope.
The rest of the cavaicade swept on;
the man who was leading the captive's
horse by the RATA, thinking only of
another accident, dropped the line TO
save himself from being dragged back
wards from his horse. The captive
wheeled, and the next moment was
galloping furiously up the slope.
1t was the work of a moment. A
trained horse and an experienced hand.
The cavalcade had covered nearly 30
yards before they could pull up; the
freed captive had covered half that
distance uphill. The road was so mar
row that only two shots could be fired
and these broke dust two yards ahead

AN ADDRESS TO STUDENTS.


New Haven March 21-The Yale stu
dents were addressed In Batten chapel
yesterday by the Rev. DR.. Philtp 8.
Moxom OF Springfield. Mass. The SUBJ
5ect Of the discourse was THE Christian
View OF Our National Responsibilities
and Obligations" Dr. Moxom pointed
out that Christ's teachings involved the
socialistic theory OF the worth of the
individual, and the doctrines taught
: by him touched social relations of men
and nations. He said that certain teach
ings OF Jesus are particularly applicable
to such difficulties as now confront us.
One was that of good will toward all men
and aid to those in need, and the other
the obligation OF self love which involves
self-protection and seIf-government
The state is bound TO protect it's int
tegrity. Self-defense In not at all selfish
With threat OF war hanging over us,
congress appropriates $50. 0oo. .0oo and we
all approve; but a true. national, self
love involves no element of aggression
and no quarrelilng. The attempt TO
incite the masses or to engage in war
save in self-defense is unjust and Grim
inal. The time is coming when the
strong nations Will not only offer succor
OF food ana clothing to the weaker ma
tions, but will protect them from the op-
pressor and despoiler. and teach them
the higher arts, and also teach them
TO develope a national life of their own.
This is the logical line Of democracy
and christian progress.
Several elements contribute 10 the
present grave situation. Should Il be
shown that the destruction of the Maine
was the result OF accident we must bear
II calmly and take measures 10 pre-
vent such disasters In the future. II
IL was due to the connivance OF Spsir..
then demand for reparation becomes a
duty. and this is something In which
every nation Is interested. We must in
our diplomatic relations preserve high
dignity. although the requirement that
indemnity be paid the United States in
the Maine case might involve war, but
not necessarily. Meantime, however,
we must use every endeavor to bring
about a peaceful settlement"

MILK, BEER AND SUGAR
The Diet on Which a Russian Has
Lived For Twenty Years

There is a Jew, native of Litsk, Rus
STA, living in the east end of London, who
has tasted for twenty years, his sole
daily diet during that time consisting of
six pints of milk, three pints of beer and
half pound of Demerara sugar. His
name is Morris Fox. He is an excellent
Talmudical scholar, and, in spite of his
frugal meals, he is the most wealthy, in
telligent and wideawake person in his
quarter. He is now nearly 49, At the
age of II, it appears, he caught some lin
gering fever, which shattered his diges-
tive organs. He took many kinds of
treatment from many physicians, until
his stomach became Injured to all medi-
cine. At the Kieff hospital they vainly
tried to cure him by sponging and cleo
trolysis; at Vienna his physicians in
cluded the well known Drs. Albert and
Northnagel. His treatment at Carlsbad
was failure; then he Travelled to Kon-
igsberg, when the physicians decided
that he must live on sugar, milk and
beer. He adopted their prescription, and
soon regained normal health. For twen-
ty years no solid food has passed his
