MANY INsTITUTIONS-CATHE OF ST.
JOHN THE DIVINE TO GET RESIDUE.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1900-07-26
PAYS Every Day,

One New York millionaire who earn
ed his fortune by his own efforts under
rather disadvantageous circumstances
conducts his business In a way that Ia
highly original In many particulars.
One of the most striking Of these Is his
method Of dealing with his employees.
They are paid every night, and at the
close of every business day all the ex-
penses OF running the business have
been met, and the manager knows just
how his affairs stand as far as that
feature of his business is concerned.
But that is not his object In paying
salaries every day instead Of following
the usual custom and waiting until the
end of the week or month. He employs
many men who have lost former situ-
ations through intemperance, although
they were all men of ability In their
field. II they severed their connection
practically with the establishment at
the close nj every business day, It
made no difference to the employer
what happened to the man after he left
his establishment. BY this means the
millionaire Is able to get the services
of good men at small salary and have
no responsibility as to their conduct
after they have received their pay for
one days work.--New York Sun.

Justice In Haiti.

Judicial procedure in Haiti is In GER
tain instances not untouched by hui
NOR. A Haitian owed trader sos. A
judgment requiring the Haitian to pay
81 a week into court was given, and
the trader was to send a messenger
every week to the magistrate for the
money. In due time he sent for the
first installment and was informed
that the Haitian had not paid up, but
that he should be thrown into prison
for his failure.
Three weeks passed with the same
result. One morning the Haitian came
to the traders store. He was, he said,
a poor man, much married, a man to
whom, therefore, expense came. What
good, he asked, would accrue to the
trader If he, the poor man, was thrown
into prison? Let the trader forgive
him his debt and earn thereby untold
rewards in a future state.
After some talk the trader gave him
a letter Of remission, which he went Off
to present to the magistrate. The af-
fair was settled, but the Haitian was
strucK Dy the Dad grace WIN Wnlcn
the magistrate dismissed him, and he
forthwith returned to the trader and
asked him if he had received the So he
had already paid into court. The trad
er looked surprised and said he had
received nothing.
"Then, since you have RENTED the
debt, that So is mine," said the Hal
tan.
Accordingly, he went off to the court
to present his claim. The magistrate
at once committed him to prison. A
consul who had heard the story asked
the magistrate what the Haitian was
sent to prison for.
For contempt Of court" was the
reply.

In an elevated train sat dignified,
severe looking lady. In her lap lay
a thick book, whose manila paper COW

beside the bundle little fiat tin box.
The seat facing her was occupied by
a very young man and a white haired
old man. rather nervous, but with q

AS the train slowed up for the Eff

up her bundle, rose and began to ell

VIII Make a Cat Run.

With regard to color, both cats and
dogs appear to have little aesthetic per-
ception. We have heard Of a dog ap-
pearing to prefer scarlet to blue, but II
is difficult to eliminate the effect of as

a definite aesthetic perception Of tex
lure @stheic, for 1t is not ordinary
bodily comfort which rules. They may
like to sleep on velvet, but they reyeL

well authenticated story Of a cat
which goes into the garden to lick the
undersides of foxglove leaves and can
not be kept from trying with his tongue

But the keenest aesthetic pleasure for
a cat lies in the region of smell. The
dog uses smell merely as a medium
of information, but the cat revels In It.

Doesn't Waste Words Now,

"My husband" said the lady who

the habit since he and I have known

"And how has this happened?" the
other woman asked.

They fairly revel In the water, for,
wherever possible, they build their
houses in the sea, raising them on piles
sunk in the shoal waters of the coast
This mode of building has been. fol-
lowed in all the Philippine Islands, the
houses, even If miles from the sea, be-
ing built on piles. 1t seems to suggest
a time when the Malays were water
dwellers. In truth, backward glance

What Is Meant by IL and How 1t Is
Arranged.

Parole, it must be understood, is a
purely voluntary compact. The captor
is not obliged to offer to parole his
prisoner, and the prisoner Is not oblig-
ed and cannot be compelled to give his
parole.
If he does so, he will probably be re-
leased on pledging his word not to
serve during the existing war. If he
refuses, he will remain captive until
the war is over or until he can make
his escape.
The usual parole pledge extends only
to active service against the enemy.
A prisoner released on parole Is not
breaking his contract IL he drills, re-
cruits, quells civil connections or fights
other enemies.
A soldier taken prisoner has no au-
thority to pledge himself never to serve
against particular enemy. He can
not throw Off thus lightly the duty he
owes his sovereign or country, and II
he makes any pledge it must be con-
fined to limited time.
Moreover, II prisoner should make
pledge not approved by his own gov
eminent he is bound to return and sur
render himself to the enemy.
In the British army a soldier can
only give his parole through a COM
missioned officer. Even a noncommis-
stoned officer or an officer of inferior
rank cannot give parole either for him
self or for his men without permission
from his commanding officer.
The United States authorities, by the
way, give greater liberty Of parole than
is the case with the British army.
A captured prisoner who has violated
his parole may be punished with death.

This table shows the decline of prices

OF where they We're in July, 1890.
Iowa Farmers the Gamers.
Comparing the values of the soil pro-
ducts of Iowa farms in this manner,
and assuming 100 as the figure repre-
senting their value in 1890, which was
$204 1916, 900, the value in 1896 would be
represented by 1914 and that in 1899 by
95.3. This shows an increase in 1899
over 1896 of 1913 points, or 456 per
cent as compared with 1895.
The general increase of prices of the
articles the farmer has to purchase
shows, however, q gain of only 10
points, or 1862 per cent, comparing
July, 1899, with the low water mark,
July, 1897 In other words, while it
may take $116.20 today to buy what
500 would buy July, 1897, yet as COM
pared with the value of his farm pro-
ducts Dec. 1, 1896, the Iowa farmer has
Sl45.60, where he had only 500 then.
Consequently after deducting the adj
vance in the prices of what he has to
purchase, the farmer is S29.40 better off
ON each 800 worth of his crops, COM
pairing their value in 1896 with that of
1899.
1t is also interesting to compare the
average prices of the different cereals
during the past decade. The figures
obtained from the ruling quotations in
Iowa on December first of each year,
from 1890 to 1899, inclusive, show the
following averages for the four Demo-
cratic years, 1S93-4-5-6, and for the six
