In Honor of Her New Cork Leg.

Near Salina, the other day, the
friends and neighbOrs Of young wom-
an who had met with an accident pro.
ceeded in a body to her home and
through an eloquent spokesman pre-
sented her with cork leg, after which
there were music, recitatlons and a
supper. The local paper in giving an
account of the affair, delicately notes
that "the next day the donors were re-
joiced to know thct the limb fitted ad-
mirably."-Kansas City Journal.

ten days. I was released without trial

"The third day OF my release was
lounging about the front of my hotel,
partially under the influence, when the
strange conduct of a man across the
street caught my wandering attention.
His back was against long doorless
and windowless abode wall, such as is
common in Mexican towns, and his
whole attitude conveyed the idea that
he was trying to sink himself into II

quite a crowd of men, women and

is so rich. Both the demon and the

"The evidence Of dual consciousness
impressed me at once, and, under Its
inspiration, crowded my way closer
to the man and held out one of my
cigarettes. He snatched 1t from my
hand as a famished beast would food.
Trembling with eagerness, he lighted

its smoke, finally sinking into death.

The Mill of Congress.


The average length of a career in
Congress is four years. At the begin
ming Of every Congress about one-third
Of the members Of the House are new
to the business. 1t is a rare thing for
a member to make any sort of mark
in legislation before he has been in
the House at least two full terms, and
those who have forced themselves
above the surface before the close Of a
single term can almost be counted ON
the fingers Of one hand. The ordinary
Congressman comes and goes and
leaves no trace behind him, except on
the salary vouchers. The man who
stays in the House for more than two
terms has a fair chance Of welding
little influence. He gets his name into
the Congressional Record once in a
while; he is recognized by the Speak
er occasionally, and If he is unusually
lucky the newspapers take him up
and sometimes give him headline all
to himself There are 134 members Of
the present House who are serving
their third term or better or these
| twenty-five, at a generous estimate,
are so well known that their names
might carry some meaning outside
their own State. The work Of a Con-
gresham is thankless enough. 1t
brings nothing in the way Of money,
little in the way Of reputation, except
in rare instances, and a vast amount
Of drudgery. A man must be in the
harness for years generally before he
amounts to anything, and by the time
he begins to count in legislation he
| has lost his enthusiasm and spirit
and becomes a pack-horse. Once in q
while, at rare intervals, there Is flasl
across the dull legislative sky like a
meteor, and a sudden reputation Is
made for a new man.-L. A. Coolidge

SIX PEOPLE KILLED

Atlanta, Tex, Oct. IA
tornado struck about half mile
west of Lodi, and 10 miles west
of here today. The path of the
tornado was 200 yards wide,
and the wind swept everything
before it. One house in the
centre OF its path, occupied by
negroes, was destroyed, six peo-
pie being killed outright. Three
others are missing and are sup
posed to be dead. The cyclone
travelled from the southwest to
the northeast, crossing the Tex
as and Pacific railroad at Camp
bellsville spur, a lumber load
ing station two miles north of
Lodi. The lumber was carried
away in all directions. 1t is
feared further losses of life has
resulted in the country. A
hard rain fell here this morn
ing, commencing about Z O. clock
wit light hail. The result will
be considerable damage to the

Life Imprisonment.

Georgetown, KY, Oct. 90
"We, the jury, find this defend
ant guilty and fix his punishment
at life imprisonment"
This verdict was returned by
the IL men who we're selected to
Try Henry Z. Youtsey, formerly
Gov. Taylor's stenographer, on
the charge of being a principal in
the shooting of Gov. William
Goebel in front of the executive
building at Frankfort, January
3Oth.
Henry Youtsey is the third
man to be found guilty in con-
nection with the Goebel shooting.
Caleb Powers, tried on the charge
of completely, was sentenced to
life imprisonment, while James
Howard, tried on an indictment
charging him with being a prin-
cipal in the shooting, was sem
fenced TO death.
During the early days of Yout-
sey's trial the prisoner exhibited
signs of breaking down. While
Arthur Goebel, brother to the
dead man, was on the stand testi-
flying, YoutSey rose in the pris-
oner's dock and denounced the
witness in wild EXPLANATIONS,
while Youtsey's wife screamed
that Goebel had sworn away the
life of her husband.
Later, the prisoner became un-
conscious and, according to at
tending physicians, has since
practically been inanimate. Each
day his bed has been carried to
the door of the jury room whore
it stood in plain view of the
court, its occupant apparently
oblivious to his surroundings.
