NOT EOU.4L JUSTICE

The president is perhaps justifia-
BILE in refusing executive clemency
to the soldiers who are condemned
to death in Luzon for assaulting
Filipino women-though the pun
ishment may seem to some out of
proportion to the crime; for discip-
line must be preserved, and both as
a warning to our own soldiers and
a lesson to the Filipinos such
crimes must be severely punished.
But one is tempted to observe crit
ically what a different ear the pres
ident turns to the pleasfor these bad
and almost friendless boys from
that which heard the secret but po-
tent prayer, request or demand in
behalf Of Captain Carter, who, ac-
cording to the evidence, was not
only a collosal thief, but de-
baucher of the government service
and traitor as well. Ifjustice
must be done upon these disobedi-
ent youth, why, why should justice
be thwarted In the case of a social
and political pet who helped steal
81 100000 from the government,
and made great national work a
sham and a fraud?-Telegram.

In novels and plays the hero is often
left for dead upon the battlefield, to
turn up again at an opportune moment
and '.live happily forever afterward''
with the dear ones who had long
thought him dead. A romance of this
sort in real life is that of W. E. Lord,
Of Pittsburg. Lord, while a mere boy.

Mills, Wis, aud followed the flag to

waited in vain for tidings of the cher

md he wp believed to be among the
thousands slain. The home at Lake

Bravery Won Him n Rride.

The fourth officer of the Scot, Mr..
Clifford, who 50 gallantly attempted to
rescue the late Barney Barnato, formed
some time ago, during the outward
passage of the steamer, a great attach
ment for the daughter of a South Afri-
! can millionaire, who reciprocated his
affection. The father and mother OF
the young lady, who is we'll known in
London society, utterly declined to
consider such a preposterous thing as
the marriage Of their daughter to a
mere '.fourth officer" whose attach
ment looked very hopeless under the
circumstances.
By a strange coincidence, however,
the father, mother and daughter were
passengers on the Scot when the un-
fortunate Barnato committed suicide,
and we're spectators of Mr.. Clifford's
brave attempt at rescue. So struck
was the father by Mr.. Cliford's con-
duct that his hostility began to wane,
and on Wolfe Joel-on behalf of Bar

Not all the gid in the world is in
the Klondike. Near Bucyrus, Ohio,
it is believed, relates the New York
World, that 100 pounds of pure gold
has been buried aver since the seven
teenth century, when two Frencmen
on their way to New Orleans from the
Great Lakes concealed it neal an old
oak tree. Both men died, and as the
Indians feared the spirits of the dead
men, the gold was never searched for.
Professor Morehead, of the Ohio State
University, and two other men, will
begin a search for the buried treasure:

SOUTH AMERICAN COWBOYS.
Wild, Rough Life of the Men Who Herd
Cattle.

Wild, Rough Life of the Men Who Herd
Cattle.
The South American cowboy is
never made Of the stuff that converts
a man into a cattle king worth his mil
lions, and the rare good fortunes that
have been made on our Western plains
by enterprising cowboys are e re-
peated in the Southern hemisphere.
The ambition of the gaucho never
rises to such flights of fancy. He IS
content to live his life to the end on
the boundless plains, riding in the
saddle for a living and associating
with the same people and scenes until
death i%nterycnes. He has nothing OF
the Yankee ingenuity and mind for
scheming, and he would not know
what to do with his money if he gath
cred a few thousands of dollars to-
gether. Probably a good part of it
would be put into rum, and the bal
ance into more stock.
Stretched at regular intervals on
the rampas plains are mud-walled
huts called ''homes." In many re-
spects they resemble the adobe huts
of the Southwest of our OWL country.
They are made of blocks of s%un-dried
grass, mud, and a few ~rafters. Wood
is scarce on the pampas, just as it is on
the plains Of the Southwest, and the
cowboys make the most Of every
dead trunk that can be found along
the courses of The river. These are
always carefully preserved for roof
r~afters, and every guacho attaches
more value to these than to anything
else that goes to form his house. The
mud and grass are so plentiful that
there is no market attached t. them.
Labor alone is the commoditythat has
value in such house building.
The roofs of these mud houses fire.
quently leak, and the owners try to
patch them up with mud and grass
until the thickness is nearly two feet.
The mud house usually consists Of
n large room, but occasionally two
or three adjoining bedrooms are added,
The beds are made Of pampas grass
and the skins of the panther and cattle.
Chairs and tables are scarce, but oc-
~casionally a few old stools and a dry
goods box will be found in the huts.
In this rude home the cowboy spends
part of his time when he is not in his
saddle, and his squaw wife and chill
dren live there most of the time watch
ing and waiting for their lord and mas
ter to come home.
A more attractive place than this
home are the gaucho saloons, which
are scattered pretty plentifully across
the pampas. This place is built of mud,
but it is usually largerandmore attrac-
tive than the ordinary home of thegau-
cho. Coarse pictures conceal the barren.
ness of the walls, and, to the cowboys
way of%thinking, vastly improve appear
ances. Rum aud beer are dispensed
at these saloons in quantities, and the
gauchos assemble there to have a reg
ular spree, nearly always ending UP
with a free fight. The deaths that oc.
u at the gaucho saloons are many,
but they are usually hushed up and
nobody is the wiser. The scenes
enacted there seem to be a necessary
and fitting climax to the wild, rough
life the gauchos lead upon the pampas,
and, according to their code of honor,
it is no disgrace to end an existence
in such Il tragic way. - Scientific

Naval Observatory FIacpole,

Probably the tallest fagpole in the
vicinity of Washington has beer
erected by the navy department at the
south entrance of the new naval oh
%servatory. It is made of seasoned
Georgia pine, fifteen inches through
at the base, and is e~ighty-six feet high
IN the clear. 1t is surmounted by .
weather vane in the form of a steel
arrow, four feet long, plated with
gold leaf, standing on a large metal
bal, which is also covered with gold
leaf. The pole and accessories were
constructed at the Washington nav,

Mayor of the Smallest CITY.

John De Saline bears the UNIQUE
distinction of being mayor of the
smallest city in the world. He is the
chief executive of Fenton, a beautiful
little hamlet on the picturesque
Meranec river, fifteen miles to the
south and west Of St. Louis.
The fame Of Fenton has probably
never extended beyond the confines
of st. Louis county, and it can not be
said to have created a great furore in
the commercial OF manufacturing
world, but it is a great place for all
that. It is the only city of it's size.
IN all probability, in the world
that is incorporated and has a mayor
n a full quota of city officials.
There are less than 100 people in
Fenton, yet it has been an incor-
poratel city for more than twenty
years. And during that time it has
grown considerably. When it was
first Incorporated there were less than
forty-hve inhabitants in the place

1.-THE MARINERS SLEEP BY THE SEA-"

The mariners sleep by the sea.
The wild winds come up by the sea.
It walls round the tower, and it blows
through the grasses,
1t scatters the sand Ger the graves where it
passes.
And the sound and the scent of the sea.
When at night there's a soothing of surf,
The grandames look out DER the surf,
They reckon their dead and their long years
Of sadness,
And they shake their lean fists at the sea
and its madness.
And curse the White fangs of the surf.
But the mariners sleep by the sea.
They hear not the sound of the sea.
Nor the hum from the church where the
psalm is uplifted,
Nor the crying of birds that above them are
driftcd.
The mariners sleep by the sea.

The modern tendency to regard any
unusual crime as a symptom of in
sanity has received a blow in Ger
many, where the perpetrator of n OF
the most revolving acts of recent years
has been declared perfectly sound and
sane by the medical experts. Johann
Bittner, the man in question, was not
only a libertine and a murderer, but a
