A celebrated judge was once trying n
case where the accused could only IN
derstand Irish. and an interpreter was
accordingly sworn. The prisoner said
something to the interpreter, and the
latter replied.
"What does he say?'' demanded the
judge.

"How dare you say that when we all
heard him? Come, sir, what was it?''

ginning to tremble, cit had nothing to

"Well, my lord, You'll excuse me,

THIS rs TnOROUdn.

Nov that Secretary Alger has
been forced into ordering an Off
cial investigation of the beef scam
|dal, it is to be hoped that the full
truth concerning that scandal is
about to be brought to light.
1t is always possible, of course,
for q whitewash to be insured by
the appointment of a board preju-
diced in favor of one side in such
a controversy, but it is fairly to be
presumed that the officers named
by Secretary Alger to serve on the
board in this special investigation
will do their full duty in prosecut-
ing the investigation. The people
will be slow-to believe that in a
matter of so grave moment any
thing but justice and honesty viii
prevail.
There is some ground for this
confidence in the fact that General
Miles will receive opportunity to
submit to the board all the evil
dence in his possession supporting
his charges as to the impure quail
ity of the beef furnished American
soldiers in Cuba and Porto Rico.
IN the reports of army officers al
ready submitted to the war investi-
CATION commission, Miles charges
are fully upheld. 1t is reasonable
to believe that his case will not be
weakened by full and complete
hearing.
The people will closely watch
the progress of this special investi-
cation. They will be quick to de-
tect evidence of a tendency to
bring about a whitewash. They
demand the facts in the case. If
Miles makes his charges good, they
also demand the punishment of
those responsible for the attempt
to ration American soldiers with
rotten beef.-Republic.

a HeaIth Girinr Plant.

The London Graphic counsels the use
Of verbena as a sedative. The specially
healthful and invigorating qualities Of
this plant we're we'll known to the Ro-
MANS who crushed some Of its leaves
between their palms after the bath and
anointed themselves freely with it. II
is very good for brain workers to inhale
its perfume, and the old fashioned cot
tage practice of growing q pot Of ver-
bena in the window may have arisen in
the days when balsams and aromatic
plants were cultivated specially for
their virtues as disinfectants and puri-
fiers of the air. Be that as it may, the
scent Of the verbena is generally popu-
lar and is to be recommended to all
weak and nervous people to whom
strong manufactured scents are right
fully an abomination.

MARKET REPORTS



Chicago, Jan. 6.-Wheat: Market
was erratic in wheat today, several
millions of long wheat being sold,
we think, causing q sharp break
early, but 1t was taken by commits
sion houses mostly for outside opera
TOYS and the tone at pre.ent writing
10 rather firm. Some apprehension
is being felt as the freezing wes.h-
er's effect on the wheat plant.
Corn: Weak with wheat. Trade is
not 80 large in this cereal. It Is ex-
pected q larger movement win come
from the farmers If the weather re-
mains cold.
Oats: Steady; light trade.
Provisions; Opsned firm on out
side buying, but soon eased OF on
selling through brokers, supposed to
be for a packing interest. At this
writing the market is barely steady

The Circle Belt Railroad

The Hesperian says: About
the only thing now that can pre-
vent the building of the Circle Belt
railroad is for the people to abso-
lutely refuse to give or sell land
over which it may pass. After
numerous delays and the discovery
of some unsatisfactory features in
the papers as drawn up the con-
tract was signed yesterday after
noon by a number of Gainesville S
best citizens and all that now re-
mains is for Mr.. Donaldson to rus
tie around, get his money and go
to work. The depot grounds,
right of way and part Of the real
estate are yet to be secured. and
the fact that the gentlemen who
signed the contract yesterday are
responsible for what is yet lacking
caused some to hesitate about af-
fixing their signatures. But the
fact that they did sign would indi
cate that they anticipate. no trou-

evident in the orders sent to Rios
to abandon Doilo to the insurgents
before the American forces could
occupy it. The same policy will
probably be continued in the Phil

American occupancy as much as
possible. The Spanish policy is to

Now York, Jan. 5.-The drift of
continued support from the same
quarter whence buying power has
frequently developed of late after
every decline. Prices rose points
at the opening, and, although there
was a moderate amount of business,
bulls were in a confident mood. The
increased spot demand at Liverpool
was the chief factor, and, independ-
ent of tho Liverpool situation, the
feeling is that Wall street concerns
who have been buying of late pro-
pose to hold on indefinitely and that
as result of this speculative buying
the market must go much better, in
| dependent of the crop movement.
Closing cables for futures steady at 1
advance. Spots unchanged. Yarns
at Manchester steady; cloths quiet
and firm.
The volume of business transacted
today was light. The disposition on
the part of recent good buyers to
sell was mora pronounced. but there
was frmer undertone. In the pres
emit temper it would require but little
buying or selling to bring about =

Il Il ri lives boy who likes
pets. He began with a pair Of pig
cons that he got IN trade for dog
that lie traded knife for. His par
ents allowed him to keep the pigeons
until they multiplied so that there
were pigeons all over the place. The.
he sold the pigeons and bought goa
that ate the clothes off the line every
Monday. He was compelled to dis
pose OF it, and traded it for pair Of
game chickens. III II week there
wasn't rooster left In the neishl,or-
hood. the game rooster had killed
them all. His father took the game
chickens for ride one night and los.
them three miles out in the country,
Three days later he brought them
home, but he never told any one how
he got them. Aud so he fought fo~
his pets one by one: his dog was lost,
his lamb stolen, his rabbits ran away:
He has come down to one old hen.
Recently he bought "settin' !" of
eggs. A "settin'" OF eggs is as
many as motherly hen can hatch
into chicks. He had made up his
mind that his hen was lonely
and needed company, and what SO
companionable as batch of little
chicks to scratch for? The hen, how
ever, hal different views. and didn't
want to sit on the eggs. But lie was
not boy to be stnmped by hen
he had borne too many losses al.
ready.
He put the eggs in box, in which
he bad made nest Of hay Then he
planted the indignant hen on them,
put board in which he had bored II
lot of air holes over her and left her
to come to terms. That night his
big brother kicked off the box and set
the hen free. The next morning the
boy put her back, and put some
bricks on the board, for he thought
she had raised the board and released
briicfs aud ds poard o That t,Hhffd ntehf hrb The
boy replaced hen and board again,
and again they we're kicked Off Then
he got board and made a hole in it
for the hen to poke her head through,
and nailed the board to the box.
Once day he takes the board off and
chases the hen around the yard for
exercise. and twice day he carries
food and water to her.
What's the Use of trying to disco;ir-
age a boy like that?
