To show That You Are in Earnest
When You Want Job.

To show That You Are in Earnest
when You Want a Job.
New York Sun: A young man who is
now well up the list of high-salaried
officers of a big manufacturing COM
pany said several days ago that he
owed his first opportunity to show his
ability to the fact that he was not
afraid to soil his clothes. He was one
of half dozen young men just gradu-
ated from scientific schools who en-
tered the shops of this company as stu
dents. They were expected to show
that they were practical workmen, but
most of them preferred theory to prac-
tice. The manager of the company was
a self-taught man, and he did not take
much stock in scientific schools. The
young man who has succeeded took his
measure accurately, and, putting on old
clothes, went to work in the shops.
Whether by accident or design, he was
noticed by the manager one day,
stretched out on his back under a
heavy casting, with hammer and cold
chisel in his hand, working away as If
he had no higher ambition. A week
later the manager summoned him to
his Office. Didn't see you under that
casting several days ago." YES"
"Well, | find that we have vacancy
on our staff now, and you may fill 1t
If you choose" The young man did
choose, and his progress has been rap
id. He does not have to soil his clothes
now to prove his ability.

False Substitute for Opium.


Several weeks ago it was announced
by Texas journal. which made some
pretense to scientific knowledge, that
a new drug had been discovered that
afforded cure for the opium habit. 1t
was alleged that the plant from which
the drug was derived was named husa,
and that its essence was the most diff
fusable stimulant known. 1t was said
to act as sedative, but not as mar
cotic. The story was told in such a
convincing way that some of the north
ern medical papers reprinted it. 1t
now appears that Prof John Uri Lloyd
of Cincinnati has been investigating
the subject. He sought from the man.
ufacturer of the commercial prepare
ton both specimens of the plant and
samples of the stuff the Texan was sell
ling. No amount of persuasion served
to secure any husa leaves. But the
compound which was said to be made
from them was examined carefully,
and its ingredients were all easily
identified. There was good deal of
water, little glycerine, some alcohol,
a considerable amount of salicylic acid
and from 1.S to % per cent of NOR
phine. 1t thus appears that the husa
is a fraud. and the man who has foist-
ed the story about it on an unsuspect-
ing public might also be mistaken for
one on a dark night-New York Tri-
| bune.

little Kansas home. Going told his
life story briefly. His bride urged him
not to go, but true to the tradition of
his race, he babe her farewell and re-
turned to Alikchi. Several days before
the date of execution Going arrived at
Alikchi He placed himself under
charge of Sheriff Thomas Watson.
The fatal day came. Going arose and
ate heartily and talked with friends.
At 2 p. m. two Choctaw ministers Wis
tied the Jail to offer the condemned
man consolation. Then the twenty
Indian guards came and Going was led
out to his death. His hands and feet
were bound and eyes blindfolded. His
breast was barred and a white spot
painted over his heart. Then the Sher-
if stepped back a few PAGES, raised his
Winchester and fired. The aim was
but fair. Going fell, but fingered for
an hour. Then he died, expiating
his crime with his life blood. Beside
him stood his two brothers, watching
the agony of those last minutes.
Going's execution is the first that has
occurred since 1897. Then Walla
Tonka, the Indian base ball player,
was shot to death for the murder of a
fellow brave. The murder was the out.
come of jealous rivalry for the band
of fair maiden.
Walla Tonka was a handsome young
Choctaw and deeply loved the girl.
His rival in her affections was an In
dian named Coulter At an Indian
dance near Enfunla one night in March,
1897, Tonka met Coulter. The two in
stantly drew revolvers, but Tonka was
the quicker and Coulter was shot dead.
Next day Tonka was sentenced to die

you can pull me over that stick" He

to set on foot an inquiry as to the
methods employed in saving the souls
of such an unusual number of Celes-
tlals, and the uses to which they nut
the Bibles sent them. You NAV not
know that in China the majority of the
firecrackers with which we celebrate
our day of national independence are
made by the Chinese in their homes
contractors for fireworks give each
man certain amount of powder and
that must be made into a given num-
Der OF crackers. The paper used in
the manufacture he buys himself-and
paper is not a cheap commodity in
China. The powder furnished seldom
fills the required number of crackers
but that does not disturb the Celestial

the same, and the American bow. in
consequence, invariably finds in each
package of firecrackers a few that

mess than Yankee morals. In con-
tributing his labor toward our festival
occasions he hit upon an expedient
whereby considerable profit accrued to
himself. In other words, our great
shipment of $4,000 Bibles had literally
gone up in smoke They were to be

HARNESS USED BY NAPOLEON.
Valuable Souvenir of the Flight from
Moscow Is Owned in Chicago.

Valuable Souvenir of the Flight from
Moscow Is Owned in Chicago.
Jacob Forsyth, who died in Chicago
recently, was the owner of an inter-
esting souvenir of Napoleon Bona
parte This is the harness used by the
noted emperor during his flight from
Moscow in the eyentful winter of 1872.
The harness, together with the sleigh
used on the same memorable occasion,
was originally owned by Mrs. Bruon
nue.. Her husband, now dead. got the
relics from his grandfather, John Au-
gust CAMEL of Silesia, at whose house
Napoleon stopped for refreshment and
a change of horses during his flight.
The harness is a triple affair, similar
to those now in use in Russia, and is
heavily ornamented. The traces and
the main straps are of rope, bound in
fine leather. The heavy collars de-
signed for the two outer horses are
surmounted with large triple bells, be-
tween three and four inches in dame
ter, and of an unusually musical tone.
The harness, because of its unusual
richness, is supposed to have been pill
LACED from the stables of royalty at
the burning of the city of Moscow.
During the flight of Napoleon one or
more of the three horses driven in it
fell dead in their tracks from sheer ex-
haustion at the time they were ex-
changed or shortly thereafter. The
CAMEL horses all succumbed to the
fearful strain. The harness was left
in the CAMEL stables because of the
popularity and rare musical quality of
the bells, which Bonaparte feared would
attract too much attention to himself,
and thus result in his capture. The
sleigh, which was rough affair, was
exchanged for a small travelling coach,
and its authenticity, as well as that
of the harness, is attested by letter
signed by F. A. Worzler, burgomaster
of Heilstadt, Silesia, who was witness
of their use by Bonaparte. After the
death OF Bruno Camel his widow, tired
of harboring the sleigh, had it chopped
