1T WORRIES MIR. BOYLE.
But Mr.. Smelling is Willing to Assume
All Responsibility

Attorney General Boyle is worried be-
cause Mrs. Eta Semple of Ottawa has
issued a circular in which she denounces
the attorney general in strong terms.
The controversy is the result of an Opin-
ion given by Assistant Attorney General
Smelling on the question of prosecuting
divine healers and Christian Science work
ers Mr.. Smelling said that if it was
proven that the divine healers were frauds
and that they were not teaching truths
they could be prosecuted.
It is to this statement that Mrs Semple
takes exceptions. She thinks that if the
same rule was applied to physicians it
would create no end of trouble.
Mrs. SempIe is the candidate for state
superintendent on the Socialist ticket and
she has been prominent as free thinker
for many years.
Mr. Smelling says that he is willing to
take the responsibility for the opinion and
viii stick to what he has said.

Rome July 14-It is announced here
today in a dispatch from Caracas Ven
ezuela, that Admiral Candiant, the
commander Of the Italian squadron at
La Guayra, who has been ordered to
Cartagena, Colombia, to uphold the
claims of Italy has simply been in
structed to formally demand the com
plete and speedy execution of the de-
cisiOn in the Cerruti case pronounced
by President Cleveland in 1895. 1t is
regarded as improbable that the italian
consul, will seize the custom house at
Cartagent, although he might take such
action if he meets with persistent refus-
al to decide by the decision Of President
Cleveland.

1t is, therefore, but reasonable that he
be inquired Of concerning celestial OBJ
jects, including Mars. The other day
he was inquired of, the first question
put to him being: do you think the
canals upon Mars are artiicial?" An
swer: I'VE don't know that there are
canals upon Mars" The next ques-
ton was, What degree of dissimilar-
ity to ourselves is it possible the in
habitants Of Mars possess?" Answer:
I'VE don't know that there are inhab-
itants upon Mars" Thinking that he
should not be allowed to escape so, his
questioner followed him up with this:
well, if there are inhabitants upon
Mars, is it probable that they have
built canals that can be seen from this
earth?'' He got this for his pains:
my dear sir, you recall to my mind
one of Lord Dundreary's droll ques-
tons. Does your brother like cheese"
I have no brother But If you had
brother would he like cheese?' Moth
ing.I repeat, is absolutely known about
Mars inhabitants. if it have any, nor
about its canals, if it have them"

A NURSES STORY.
Tho Boy Was Dead With the Smile ON
His Lips.

The Boy Was Dead With the Smile ON
His Lips.
Said one soft-eyed night nurse, ac-
cording to Golfers Weekly: "Oh, II
you could have seen my first patient!
He was lovely boy Of 10 from some
where out on the Mexican border. In
the four days in which he was under
my charge l grew very attached to
him, but suddenly, when l was per-
fectly sure he would soon get well,
a violent change came, and, in spite
of every care. he died. My heart failed
me completely, but there was no time
for weakness. Too many cases were
needing attention 1 was put in an
other ward temporarily and took es--
pecial charge of one very peculiar pa
tient. He lay stolidly staring at me-
without a particle of expression in his
eye, and by his apathy rather than by
real opposition refused all nOurish-
ment and medicine. / couldn't induce
him to speak at first, and it took ten
minutes of coaxing to persuade him
to swallow a teaspOOnful of beef tea.
Finally he did so, however, and, after
another five minutes. he consented to.
take another and then another, the
stolid expression changing into one Of
intelligence. II you could have seen
the change! Why, he laughed and
joked and smiled such grimaces that
my orderly and were convulsed with
laughter, and even the weak men on
the neighboring cots feebly joined in
the laugh. His nonsense was abso-
lutely contagious; SO much SO that ut
last l was obliged to slip away into
the dispensary to give him an oppor-
tunity to sober down, and incidentally
to prepare some matted milk. When I
returned, five minutes later, his ex-
preston was still laughing one, and
the orderly, although attending an
other patient. gave me a knowing
smile as / leaned over the weak mans
cot. But this time the patient did not
speak. He was dead, with the smile
still on his lips and a strange, half
mischievous wink lingering about his
ewes"
