Judge Dale placed on him at the close of

convicted of the murder OF his wife. Mo-
ton for a new trial was overruled, and
the attorneys who defended Greene turn
ed the case over to Attorney Simpson,
who has paid a great deal Of attention
to the subject of insanity and degener-

CYCLE RACING RULES
League of American Wheelmen Has
Made Decided Changes.
Misunderstandin Which in the
Past Have Interfered with the
Success of Many Meets Are
No Longer Possible.

Cycle racing rules, as interpreted by
the League of American Wheelmen,
have received some radical treatment
at the hands of the racing board and
are considerably improved in conse-
quence, so say experts on the subject.
To give a clearer idea of the purpose
of the L. A. W. in controlling racing
the new rules have been amended in
one section so as to read: 1.-The L. A.
W. acts as governing body, establish
ing rules for the conduct and govern
ment of track races, exercises it's pow
ers to prevent fraud or imposition
upon the public and to enfo1 ce the mu-
tual obligations of promoters and rae
ing men,"
The next change is in the paragraph
concerning entries and gives the handi-
cappers the right to throw out en-
tries in which the best two perform
ances of the rider in handicap events
are not given. In settling the value of
prizes the retail value of the goods
in the city or town in which the race
is contested will govern the settlement
according to the new rule. Another
change is the rule regarding the sus-
pension of men who do not ride at
meets at which they are entered, the
change being that the rider may" be
suspended, instead of "shall."
By rule 13 the color line is wiped out
and negroes may ride if they wish, the
new rule reading that if a man is le-
gally entered he can ride regardless
of the nationality or color of the rider,
provided entry is acceptable to the pro-
moter of the meet" The clause com
pelling the promoter to insert the name
of wheels and tires of professional
riders on the programme is wiped out.

AMERICAN REFUSES A DRINK.
Incident on Board n Steamer which
illustrates Danger of Putting
Temptation in Another's Way.

A man who lately came over from
America told the writer that on board
the steamer one of the passengers went
up to another in the smoking-room and
asked him to have drink with him.
The man thus invited continued read
ing a newspaper and made no reply.
The other man again asked him to
drink with him. No answer again. y
third invitation was then given in these
words:
''Sir, have asked you in as friendly
a way as possible to drink with me, and
each time you went on with your read
ing, and had not the civility to answer
me. Now | ask you for the third time
if you will drink wine, whisky, or any
thing else with me?"
The man then put aside his paper and
answered quietly; "Do you see that
glass, sir? Well, if l were to take even
a quarter of it. could not leave off un-
til l had drank all the liquor on board.
This is why l would not drink with
you"
All present admired the mans self
control and learned a striking lesson on
the danger of putting temptation in a
brothers way.-The Culver.

tanned three cowries, and after praying
very energetically, threw the shells on
the ground. Instantly one disappeared,
and the spectators were wondering
what had become of it when q huge
cobra burst out of the adjacent jungle,
bearing the missing cowrie on its fore
head. 1t must have been humble sort
of reptile, for when ordered by the
sage to suck the wound on the de
ceased lady it at once complied,
then died to save further trouble. WI
in an hour its human victim had quite
recovered, and went on merrily with
her husband and relatives, none the
worse for her little adventure, says the
London Globe.
''Such was the marvellous treatment" !"
says the narrator, ''of the peasant Moula
Bux, professor of the occult science,
which, with the spread of the so-called
western civilization, had almost died
out of the land" What we cannot un-
derstand is why snakes committed
more atrocities when occult science
was in it's prime than under western
civilization.

him would not satisfy the younger man.
He beamed upon his visitor a kindly
smile as he replied:
"Oh! it is nothing that will hurt man
or beast, l assure you, if it is in a jug.
1t is only pure Adams ale, brewed this
morning under the elms you see over
yonder. Win you have a pull?"
Then he rested the jug upon the
fence, and the young man drank as if
he was burning with thirst. When he
had finished the farmer said to him:
You'd better drink more of this kind
of ale, young man, and less of 'tother,
hadn't you?"
Yes, sir, I had" was his reply. 81
wish with all my heart that had never
tasted anything stronger"
well, then, young man, take an old
mans advice, and stop at once. I can
drink as much as please of my Adams
ale and feel none the worse for it. In
stead, it freshens me up, and makes me
strong and steady for work. I reckon
you cannot say the same of yours"
mo, sir, l cannot. l am wretched this
morning"
"1es, [ see you are"
After few more kind words and
good advice, which were listened to be-
cause given so kindly, the older man
swung down the jug into the shade,
gathered up the reins and said to his
horses:
Come, lads, get up! Go long there,
Bill! What are you about there, Doll,
old girl? We must be after them this
ties lively"
His advice is just as good for us as it
was for the young man. Adams ale
is the safest drink, the best drink for
everyone. Why is it called adams
ale?" Because it was the drink God
supplied for Adam in the Garden of
Eden.-National Advocate.

ADAMS ALE.
A Farmers Example, and Advice to
Young Man Who Used the
DEVILS Brew.

1t was very warm day when Father
Welden began plowing the south mead
ow, where the grass had grown rank.
His forehead became moist and his
throat dry, as he followed the plow
across the field. Over in the corner
where the bushes cast a shade he had
placed a jug full of drink that never
failed him when thirsty. He drank
from it several times during the day.
On the other side of the fence young
man was lying on the ground in the
shade. He had been asleep. His eyes
were red; he looked wretched. He was
thirsty. He awoke just as Farmer We'll
den left his horses and went over to
the corner near where he was lying.
He saw him lift his jug to his lips and
take from it long draughts. 1t made the
young man feel still more thirsty to see
the farmer enjoy his drink. He jumped
up quickly and shouted:
Halo! What have you got there
to'drink?"
The farmer turned quickly, meeting
the eyes of the young maneagerly fixed
upon him and his jug. He felt sure,
however, that the drink that satisfied
