THE COURTS DISCOVERY.
There Was Nothing in the Revised
Statutes About the Killing of
n Chinamnn.n

A small town far out west---a town
which has since risen TO the dignity of
mention on the map, but which then
consisted of two saloons and a adwelling
house--was much excited over the fact
that homicide was to be brought to
formal trial. The judge was moved TO
great eloquepce and indignation.
Gentlemen" he said to the crowd
which thronged his apartment over the
saloon, II in hopes that there
wouldn't be any moro killings; not be-
fore the next, census was took. And

He ran his hand through his hair,
thoughtfully, and then remarked:
This court is adjourned for ON hour.
Go downstairs and have something on
me, boys, and tell the prisoner not to go

He turned to the series Of store boxes,
piled one on top of another, which made
his bookcase. They contained set Of
the Revised Statutes. which constituted
his entire library. When the crowd
had reassembled, he cleared his throat
and said:

THE ULSTER REBELLION.
An Uprising That Led to the slnugh-
ter OF Half a Million Irish In
Eleven Years.

In his study of Oliver Cromwell, John
Morley characterizes the Ulster rebel
lion as "the most barbarous and inhu-
man chapter that stains the domestic
history of the kingdom"
After many weeks of strange stin-
ness, in an instant the storm burst. The
Irish in Ulster suddenly October 90,
164D fell upon the English colonists,
the invaders of their lands. The fury
soon spread, and the country was en-
veloped in the flames of confagration
fed by concentrated sense of ancient
wrong and all the savage passions of
an oppressed people suddenly broken
loose upon its oppressors. Agrarian
wrong, religious wrong, insolence OF
race, now brought forth their poison
Gus fruit. A thousand murderous
atrocities were perpetuated on one
side. and they were avenged by atroci-
tics as hideous on the other. Every
tale OF horror in the insurgents can be
matched by horror as dinbolc in the
soldiery. What happened In 104l was
in general features very like what hap
pened in 1903, for the same things come
to pass in every conflict where fero-
cious hatred in prosecuted caste meets
the ferocious pride and contempt of its
prosecutors. The main points are rea-
sonably plain. There is no question by
whom the sanguinary work was first
begun. There is little question that
It was not part of a premeditated and
organized design of indiscriminate mas
sacre, but was inevitably attendant
upon violent rising against foreign
despoilers. There is no question that

LINEN SHOWER LUNcHEONs.
Something New for the Hostess
Looking for Novelties to

One puzzliDg thought to the up to

The latest fad is the "lnen shower

something more than good things to
eat. The latter so far has been given
by bachelors only.
