HOMEMADE PHILOSOPHY.

Grayitashun presses hard on the man with 9 lager beer belly, and truth rests heYvy on the man with big in tellect.
 Wen man kwits doing rong and mak- in blunderze he will then hev nuthin to do do but boast oy how good and wize he iz, and oy how much he otter get fur it.
 I hey seen men hoo he'd no faltz, but I wuzzent shoore Wether thay he'd any wirtooze or not. 4 bee without a stinger is hard to distinguish frum a tumbull bug
 Its eezy at first to play the mean man, but by n by wen the crowd gitz onto yoore curves it will bat 700 awl over the ground and put you over the fence and out
 No man haz a right too establish a law or eHstum that will live to oppress the living after he iz dead and decaid. Let the tiving govern themselves, if thay are fit too live at awl
 A gfasshopper iz d small and jooeey thing, aud moeoI0tiye kin crush 8 thousand oy em. but I wunst saw so many ox Aem on tbe railroad that the engine WIZ completely stalled and stopt ded
 Yo may tock temperance 5wI yoo he7 a mind too. and shoHt fur high H- eense tilI yoore boIIer but itz the la borin man hoo puts up the price oY beer So often that at last lie can't reach 1t without borrowin a nickel.
 Ihay mezzure and Waigh eyeryboddy hoo goze to the penitensheeary, soze thay kin distinguish them rum the jedges and lawyerze hoo send them up. Thay aint goin to trust too the naked eye ware the difference iz so smaII.

T vas never mixed up with snug gling transaction but once in my lffe,' said New Orleans business man,
 whose name may as well be left out
 and my experience was so painful
 that I sW3re off then and there l had a deal iH West Texas on hand at the time aEd had made short trip over
 the Mexican frontier, during which ] picked Up q handful of very fine opals. A wicked friend showed me how easy 1 1t was to carry them over the line with
 out paying tribute to Uncle Sam. and l was weak enough to yield to the temptation. When E got on the cars at EI Paso, however. to come east to Dallas I was haunted by guilty con
 science and had horrible prenoni-
 ton that some secret service officer
 was on ms track Presently ny at teution became attracted by a man with a black beard, who kept looking at me fursiyely from a seat across the way. ] tFied to persuade myself that 1t was all imagination, but a number
 Of things occurred during that ride that satisfied me l was really beius watched l went into Che smoker. f8r instance. and before long caught ] glimpse of the black beaeed chap peer ing through the end of the window from the platform It was the same in the dining car, and to make 3 long story short ] reached Dallas thoroughly unstFaHg That evening began 10 think l had shaken the fellow off my
 track, when I happened to stroll out of the hotel, and there he was, stand ing behind pillar Needless to say, didn't sleep a wink. and when 1 bumped into the s1euth next morning and saw that he had shaved off his beard l gave myself ID for lost. How ever, that was the last of him. and for the balance of my stay I was un@
 molested and gradually regained my eQuanimity. That the man had been shadoWiug me was unden.able, but what his purpose could have been and why he dropped the game so abrupt ly were mysteries which I was forced to leave unsolyed 1t was two years
 before l found out. Then I ran across
 the man one day by accident in a St. Louis restaurant. and he owned Up.
 It seems that he had been a public of fieial iR a small Texas town, and got mixed up in his accounts. He sWore
 to me that it was only bad bookkeep- ing. but the grand jury indicted him
 for embezzlement. and he skipped an-
 til things calmed down. l happened to coincide with description he had Of
 detective, and all his strange moves
 were aetuated by exactly the same mo
 tive that prompted me to run-name- ly. to see whether he was beng watch

 and We enjoyed good laugh and 8 cold bottle together But ana re- formed smuggler for Iife.1

One 0n Old Man.

He was the son of q worthy citizen
and had just returned from college.
His father was brus4ue, matter-of-fac,
man, who had no liking for anything
pronounced, and he noticed with sor.
row that his son returned with the
latest thing in collars. and various
ether insignia of fashion. The old gen.
tleman surveyed him critically, when
he appeared in his Office, and then
blmted out:
Young man, you look like an idiot!'
Just at that moment, and before the
young man had time to make fitting
reply, a friend walked in.
"Why, halloa, Billy! Have you re-
turned?" he asked. Dear me, how
much you resemble your father!"
$50 he has been telling me-" replied
Billy.
And from that day to this the old
gentleman has had no fault to find with
his son.-Chicago Journal.

AS LYDIA GROWS.

when Lydia was six months old
Shs was 80 dear, 20 fair q treasure.
We called her honey" beauty" sweet.
And angel" without stint or measure.
But nowadays all that II changed,
For Lydia 10 three years wiser:
Ne dare not call her sweet or fair.
We may not tell her how we prize her.
FOR little girls are sometimes spoiled
BY loving praise too oft repeated.
And, all unlike the dear pet names.
Grow sour-tempered and conceitsd.
But often when our hearts o'erfiow.
And fond words to our lips are welling-
The words that We may use no more
We try to nnd relief in spelling.
Cor little Lydia runs no risk
or growing vain and highty-tighty
From hearing "h-o-n-e-y."
AAd "b-e-a-u. beau. t-y. ty."
We say: "You ANGEL"
'You little fairy. ry,"
And Lydia beams up at US
With looks Of innocent inquiry.
But oh. sometimes we're sorrowful
That we may never be endearing.
Nor use the tender. loving names
Which once we used In Lydia's hearing
And there IS still q sadder thought
A cloud that there Is no dispelling-
Twill only be little while
Till Lydia understands our spelling!

MRS. GEORGE is FREE.
END OF THE FAMOUS CANTON
MURDER CASE.
Woman Accused Of killing Sax ION De-
clared Not Guilty-A Cheer Breaks
Forth When Verdict IL Annouhced-
Accused Shakes Hands with Jur ors.

At Canton. Ohio. the jury In the case of
Mrs. George, charged with the murder of
George ID. Saxton, brother OF Mrs. Nc
Kinley, brought in verdict OF acquittal
at 10:43 o'clock Friday morning. The jury
had been out since o'clock Thursday af-
ternoon. Before the verdict was read the
court cautioned the audience that there
must be no demonstration. In spite of that
order there were loud cheers as the clerk
read the verdict of mot guilty" A score
of women rushed to. Mrs. George and
shook her hand. Congratulations were
also extended to her attorneys. Mrs.
George worked her way to the jury box,
took each juryman by the hand and gave
them word and nod of thanks. Then
the court said she was discharged and re-
leased the jury.
For ten years no murder trial has ex-
cited such intense interest throughout the
country as that of Mrs. George. The high
standing Of the family to which the MUIR
dered man belonged, his own peculiar rep
utation in the community where he lived,
the loyalty with which his weaknesses
were shielded by his neighbors, and the
visitation upon him OF punishment which
many Of his close friends believed to be
just sufficed to give the trial a melodra-
matte effect.
Crowds were drawn to the court room Of
daily drawn to the modest court room Of
the little Ohio city for three weeks, and
the circumstances centered the attention
Of all reading Americans upon the woman
there battling for her life.
Mrs. George passed through the hardest
ordeal of the trial during the summing up
