SAVED BY POOR GRAMMAR.

Hilarious students Caught the Profess
sor Before He Caught Them.
Students of certain Western State
university which many Kansas City
boys attend are telling story on pro-
fessor of English that will bear repeat
ing. Some time ago several of the stu
dents were gathered in a fellow stu.
dents room far past the midnight hour.
A few bottles of beer, light luncheon
and game of draw" were among
few of the forbidden enjoyments that
made the hours slip rapidly by About
2 o'clock in the morning, when the fun
was at it's height, knock came at the
door. Everything became as quiet as
death i'll an instant.
"Whos there?" said the host.
Its me-" came back voice, at the
same time mentioning the name of the
professor of English.
A shout went up from the room.
Not on your life" called voice from
the room. You should brush up on
your grammar, old sport, before at
tempting to play a joke on us. Our pro-
fessor says 1t is L. But whoever you
are come in and have a drink"
The door was thrown open, and be-
fore the astonished characters actually
stood the professor of English.
One Of the students, quicker to take
advantage of bad situation than the
others, said calmly:
Look here, professor, you've got us
dead to rights, but if you peach on us
We'll tell about that hideous mistake in
grammar. oh, professor, it's me-
Quite reprehensible, sir; extremely
careless, sir"
This last was said in way mimick-
ing the professors classroom tones.
The shot went home. Rather would the
professor have had a crime fastened on
him than that it should get noised about
that he, an authority on English, had
actually said ITS me-"
The students transgressions were
never reported.-Kansas City Star.

1t consists of a mtallic casing, which Is
inserted in place of the brick partition
usually placed between fireplaces set
opposite each other in adjoining rooms.
The lower portion of the drum is mar
row, and any pattern Of CRATE can be
attached to 1t, while the upper portion
fares out over the CRATE, leaving, how
ever, sufficient room for the passage of
smoke through the chimney Inside the
drum series Of plates are so arranged
that the air is caused to circulate back
and forth in a circuitous route before
entering the pipe at the top Of the
drum. The fresh air Is conducted into
the bottom of the drum through tube
laid under the floor and extending to
one of the basement windows. As the
air is heated it rises through the pipe
to the chambers, causing the fresh ali
to enter and providing not only suffi.
cient heat for the upper, but also per
feet ventilation of air free from all
smoke Of the fireplace.

The Sultan of Turkey,

The Sultan of Turkey rises at six
o'clock every morning, and devotes his
lays, in the seclusion of the Yildiz Pal
ace and gardens to personal attention
to affairs of state. He is of slight fig
ure. A pale brown overcoat conceals
hny decorations he might be wearing,
30 that the attention Of those who see
him on the one day in seven when he
presents himself to the view of the peo-
pie Is not diverted from his pale. wan,
and careworn face, half-covered by a
thin, brown beard, tinged with gray,
and surmounted by plain red fez. The
Sultan has been the means of establish
ing fifty thousand schools throughout
his empire, not only for boys, but for
girls also-a striking departure from the
traditional usage of his race.

SUBSTANTIAL JUSTICE.
The Method of Rendering 1t Adopted
by an Old Town Magistrate.

A few lawyers were sitting In one OF
the city restaurants a few days ago eat.
ing lunch and discussing different sub.
jects, when one of them told the fol.
lowing story:
This occurred some years ago in the
office Of former justice of the peace.
An attorney, who has since left Sioux
City, had been engaged to defend
man for the crime Of petty larceny The
lawyer knew that the case against his
client was pretty strong one, and he
decided to beard the lion in his den. As
he entered the room he told the justice
of the case, the name of his client, and
added he did not think there was any
evidence to convict. At the same time
he slipped $40 gold piece in the hand
of the justice, and gave him knowing
wink. The court said nothing, but,
pulling open the cash drawer, slipped
tho money in. The case went to trial,
and after the evidence had all been in
troduced there appeared to be no ques-
ton Of the guilt of the defendant But
his counsel was confident, thinking the
gold piece had done the work. The
court then summed up the case and, to
the astonishment of the defendants s
counsel, said:
"The court finds the defendant guilty
as charged in the information, and fines
him $100, Of which $50 has been paid.
The defendant will be committed to the
county Jail until the remainder is paid
into this court"
Nothing more was said and the JUS
tice settled back in his chair, satisfied
that the laws of the State had been up
held and dishonest attorney had been
left in the lurch.-Sioux City Journal.

The warm-Hearted Russian peasan

AS illustrative Of one phase of the
character of the Russian peasant a sur
prising story is told. During the last
Russo-Turkish war, Russian regi-
ment marching from Philippopolis to
Adrianople overlook the Turkish ref
ugees; whereupon the terrified Turkish
women threw down their infants In
their flight. The Russian soldiers, while
pressing on as rapidly as possible,
stopped and picked up the babies, until
nearly every man in the regiment was
carrying child, and the general was
absolutely obliged to stop the march
and find carts and men to transfer the
children to place of safety.

Exposition to be held at Buffalo from
May to Nov. /. 1901. At some EXPOSE
lions a great mistake has been made
by not providing for good restaurants,
where satisfactory meals could be OBJ
tanned at reasonable prices. Either the
food obtained has not been of good
quality or prices charged have been ex-
orbitant or the facilities In some par
ticulars have been inadequate to the
occasion.
There will be good restaurants in diff
ferent parts of the grounds of the Pan
American Exposition, so that it will
not be necessary for visitors to go out
side of the grounds to secure good
meal, well served, at moderate price.
All tastes will be suited In the services
rendered, for there will be places
where meals will be served on an
tidious taste and where prices will be
in proportion to those charged at
high class restaurants in large cities.
There will be other places where the
meals will be cheap but the food appe-

people against the offense which has been
committed. The Caucasian who commits
petit larceny is locked up for short
period in a Jail, but a Monaghan is fas-
tened in a cangue and exposed to public
view and contempt. When it comes to
the higher offenses, the western world
uses the state prison and the galows or
electric chair. But the Celestial King
dom puts the offender in a cage and
transports him from place to place for
weeks. months and even years before in
flicting final sentence. There is no doubt
but that Prince Tuan, the Mantchoo gem
eral, will ultimately be treated as crimi-
nal by his imperial government, but the
form of that treatment will depend upon
many circumstances impossible for an
American to estimate or comprehend. He
will be degraded and in all probability
