Somebody Was To BIame.


 "Ahr' said Mr. Wickleson, as he was hunting through the china closet for the screwdriver. that looks Ike a pretty nice cake. l guess I'll try q piece of it."
 Then he looked around, to make surs that neither his wife nor the hired girl was near, after which he cut off big piece of the angel food and gulped it down.
 A moment after he had succeeded in erowding the last bit through his throat he began to hiecough, says the Cleveland Leader.
 Blame the luck,s exclaimed Mir. Wickleson, as he rushed to the ice chest and looked in. q wonder why they never keep any-hic-water on ice! If there'd been-hie-any here, might have stopped these eon-hic- founded things"
 By the time he had succeeded in get ting the glass of water that he wanted the hiccoughs had got thoroughly un- der way, and, although he took nine big swallows without drawing his breath, they wouldn't stop.
 Where's rs.-hic-Wickleson he asked the girl
 She's next door, think.
 "Why doesn't she-hic-stay at home when I'm here?" Mir. Wickleson growl- ed as he went out and sat down on the front porch.
 For half an hour he sat there going It. liAe clock and cursiLg uck. He got sore across the middle; remem- bered that he had recently read of number of people who had died of hic- coughs, and was as mad as hornet when his wife finally returned.
 "Why, Alfred" she said. whats the matter?"
 "Hiceoughs! Don't you-hic-know hiccoughs when you hear 'em?"
 Have you tried holding your breath and counting tifty?"
 "Ye-hie-
 'Go and take nine swallows of wa ter"
 T did. No-hic-good."
 We'll, don't get impatient, dear she said. T told you the other day that you ought to take something for your lulSeSltOu 1Ou Le dil run QONu. uS hiccoughs prove that I was right. Your stomach's out of order or you wouldn't have them"
 "Oh, don't make a---hic-fool of yourself" retorted Mr. Wickleson. My digestion hasn't anything to do with 1t. If you and that fool girl knew how to run T ngs around a house maybe these troubles wouldn't come up. Why the dickens don't you have some place for your cakes and things where a person won't be finding them in front of him all the time? You hayen any more idea how house should be run than 9-year-old child. Or, at least, keep some water on ice, so that one can get drink without waiting to fix it up.'
 'oh, I see," Mrs. Wickleson return ed. Tt was all my fault. Well, I'm glad of it, anyway. I'm glad I was to blame. If hadn't been, you might not have had chance to become an- gry enough to forget to 'hic'?
 Then she laughed at him and he went around the corner for 8 cigar, thor oughly convinced that when woman was created the supply of brain mate rial had been exhausted.

Asbestos Known Centuries Ago.

Asbestos is generally supposed to be modern thing, yet in 1871 an as- bestos handkerchief was shown to the Royal Society as a great curiosity by Dr. Plot, who had bought it from a traveller on his return from China. They called it salamander's wool. Dr. Plot saturated the handkerchief with oil and threw it into a fierce charcoal fire. The oil burned off and the hand kerchief remained intact.

there is no law to adequately punish

LAST Friday night Ex-Governor Ros-
we'll p. Flower of New York, died
from a sudden attack of gastritas.
For the last two years Gov. Flower,
who is at the head Of a firm of Wall
street brokers and bankers, has been
leading the great movement which
has resulted in increasing the value OF
all stocks OF railroads and industrial
companies. His sudden death fright
ened a great many people who have in
vested in stocks, and when the mar
ket opened Saturday morning there
vas a great rush to sell all stocks in
which his firm was interested. OF
course with this selling there was an
immediate drop 10 prices, but the firm
Of Flower & Co. announced that they
would carry all their customers, and
90 one should be sold out for lack OF a
margin. This stopped the scare a
little. Then John d. Rockefeller sent
word to Flower & Co To draw on him
for a hundred million dollars, II nee
essary, to keep the prices where they
we're, and to avoid a panic. There
was no further trouble. If IL had not
been for the prompt action Of Flower
& Co. and Rockefeller there would
have been a panic that would have
been felt all over the country, and
ruined thousands OF people.

THERE have been rumors through
the territory for some months about a
big poisoning scheme. Recent arrests
in Santa Fe have brought the story
out. How much truth there is in the
story the courts will have to decide.
A prisoner made an affidavit that with
his consent he had been railroaded in
to the penitentiary from Albuquerque,
and had gone there at the instigation
OF 7. b. Catron, Fred Fornhof and
others for the purpose of putting poi
son into the food that would be eaten
by Superintendent Bergman, Govern.
or Thornton, ard several other no.
tables who were not basklng ia Mr..
Catron's smiles: 1t is needless TO say
ne never did kill these gentlemen.
After his time expired be was arrest
ed for perjury Recently he has told
what he now claims to be the truth,
that is that Bergman and others got
him to make this affidavit for the pur-
pose Of hurting Catron and the other
alleged would be murderers for the
purpose of causing them trouble. As
a result OF this confession warrants
were issued and Superintendent Berg
man, his son, and Assistant Superln-
tendent Merrill have all been arrested
for conspiracy.
