to be as great as it would have the public believe Evidently the men who should be watching were not attending to their duty when the president was shot. When we come to learn the facts it appears that negro in line was the first to jump upon the assassin and prevent the third shot. Then the secret service men limbered up.-NeW Britain Herald.

In the case on which the court passed a man received a letter addressed in his own name. but evidently not intended for him. He kept it four or five days, and when he returned it the delay had cost the real owner the loss of piece of property. He sued for $1O0 and re- covered.-Hartford Times.

DAN RICE AND THE BOYS.

Dan Rice. the famous circus man, was fond of the boys, and always wanted to see lot of them in his au- dience. He never gave performance says the Cleveland Leader, when the hooks and corners were not filled with youngsters that had come in free.
 One story of this sort is told by Capt George J. Grammer, traffic manager of the Lake Shore railroad. At the time of the occurrence, Grammer who lived in Zanesville, Ohio. was standing one afternoon with a crowd of other boys, looking longingly into the tent, but not having the price of admission.
 1t was Mir Rice's custom to stand at the door until the first grand entry of the circus people, when he would leave. On this occasion he saw the hungry look on the faces of the boys. and call ed them around him.
 You want to go in don't you boys ?''
 "Bet your lifeY' shouted back the youngsters.
 ''I'll tell you what. All the boys who are back here in ten minutes with clean faces and hands get in"
 The words were hardly out of hfs mouth before there was a dash for the Muskingum river, and in less than seven minutes two hundred clean faces and hands came back to the tent. The boys went inside with rush.

In view of the numerous inquiries following the plague of caterpillars in various sections of the country, the de- parment of agriculture has issued ad- vice to those who desire relief from the pests. The worm which is causing havoc among maple. linden and other fine shade trees is the product of the tussOck moth, so called because of the three tussocks, or tufts of hair, so prominent on the caterpillar. l.. O.. Howard, the United States entomolo- gist. says that the fact that the female moth is minus wings tends to simplify the method of prevention, especially for those trees not yet affected. A broad, thick strip of raw cotton, to be tied around the trunk and occasionally renewed, is recommended. The pro- cess of banding will also prove useful in cases where the trees have already been attacked by the caterpillars. since many of them drop from the limbs and the cotton prevents their return. The eggs deposited on the trees are usual ly low down on the trunk and can easily be removed by scraping. Mir Howard says that, in view of the gene al prevalence of the nuisance, individ- ual owners should take immediate steps to abate it for the present and prevent its recurrence.

Secretary Hay has conveyed to Pres ident Castro of Venezuela, through an American diplomatic agent, an admon- ition to the effect that the United States government views with dis pleasure the warlike efforts of his country, and intends to keep it's pledge to maintain the neutrality of the 18th mus of Panama. Although no reply has been received, it is confidently ex- pected here that MT Hays message will have salutary effect and that the Encouragement of an uprising in Ven ezuela will soon restore normal condi- tions in the disturbed South American countries.

BEFORE HE WAS PRESIDENT.

One day when the president, then Major Mckinley, had just been de feated for congress, Major Pierce met him at down town cigar store. MT Mckinley was decidedly downcast over his defeat, and did not conceal the fact. He approached Major Pierce and said: sMajor, you have been most fortunate and I most un- fortunate.''
 The St. Louisan looked at the future president inquiringly, and MT McKill- ley cOntinued: ssYeS, when the war was over instead of taking up pro- fession as you have done, I took the plunge into politics, and you can see where I am now after my defeat, with little prospect before me. You took the sensible course by going out to St. Louis and beginning the practice of law. You have prospered, and, well, you know how it is with me"
 Major Pierce's reply was prophetic: Never mind, major, just take another good start, and ten years from now you won't change places with me if offer you bonus It's in you.o
 It was about this same period that an incident happened which Congress man Joe Cannon delights to tell on tbe president. The two met at Chicago hotel, both having been defeated for reelection. They were surrounded by dozen or more friends who were con- miserating them on their defeat. Mir Mckinley was smiling blandly and as- surfing his friends that everything would come out all right, and he was not in the least disheartened. One by one their friends left them, until the two were sitting side by side in the corridor. Cannon was the first to speak.
 "BillY' with a rising infection
 What is it, JoeY' responded the fu- ture president.
 Now that we are alone there is no use lying to each other. I am all cut up about my defeat How about you?''
 Me, too,' said MT McKinley.-St Louis Globe-Demoerat.

CHEAP AND EASY DIVORCE.

The United States heads the list as 8 nation of divorces. In a single year 23. .472 divorces were granted in the United States, 6,245 in France, t, ,16l in Germany, 1,7S9 in Russia, and sos in England. Putting the divorces of Great Britain and Ireland together, they fall below those of any other na- tion mentioned. In the United States the number exceeds those of all these nations combined. In Judge Dunne's court in Chicago week ago divorce was put through in ten minutes after the wife had filed her application. The complaint was cruelty. The hus- band had injured her hand by shutting q door upon 1t, and both were willing to have the decree granted. Any kind of complaint ap- parently goes in Chicago. and the case before Judge Dunne would undoubted- ly have succeeded if husband and wife fictitious charges, for certainly the judge did not take time to investigate the merits of the case. It gives ser ious aspect to the old Chicago conduc- tors joke of calling out as he approach ed the city: '.Fifteen minutes for di- vorce!'
 Tn Indiana during the year ending June 30 ut there were 24,007 marriages and 3.O09 divorces. That is, there was one divorce for every eight marriages. This means that the average of mar ried life between every eighth man and every eighth woman who is not wid- owed by death is eight years. The moral and social effect of such state of affairs is terrible. The husband and wife of one family of every eight do not live together long enough to join in the care of their first-born child be- yond the age of seven and for every succeeding baby the case is worse. The building of asylums for waifs and strays must be a great industry in h. diana.
 The international law association at its recent meeting in Glasgow gave up an entire session to a discussion of the divorce laws of the various ciyiliz- ed nations, and adjourned without reaching any satisfactory conclusion. No practical way of reaching a uni formity of divorce laws was suggested But if uniform international law is impossible, certainly congress has the right to make a uniform law for the United States, to be enforced in every state. It may never be able to enact law as rigorous as that of South Carolina or New York. but it could linn it the privilege of divorce. to rational causes and stop the practice of quick easy and cheap divorce in certain states, to the scandal of those states and the disgust of others which main tain decent laws. The cases of Heron. in Iowa and of Flagler in Florida, all ready commented upon in these col umns, illustrate the degrading uses to which our lax and uneven divorce laws can be applied. Marriage is a pretty solemn thing and fatherhood and moth- erhood are even more so and should not be made subservient to the mean est of human passions. Easy divorce is filling the country with mean and despicable men and women. The mar riage of divorced people is a marriage that shirks, often upon the state, the most solemn of responsibilities, and in such cases should be made crime punishable like bigamy or concubinage.

SANDALS FOR FATHERS.

"Have all of our young girls of the sweet sixteen period got their sandals on, and do you see them ev
 anywhere, at the seashore and in town tramping about without stockings and with their ivory insteps and blushing little rosy toes to the sun and the air and the popular gaze. No? Well, this must be q great sensation for next year, then, because it grows here apace and is considered quite the only way to save the beauty of the feet of the English misses. The sandals are genuine ones of the Roman pattern a sole of leather and a set of straps or bands, two crossing the top of the foot and one over the instep. The pur- pose of the sandal is to prevent the cramping of the toes and to keep the pores of the feet open and the skin healthy. Stockings are discarded to avoid the damage done by every form of garter yet devised and for coolness and health. The new fashion applies to all girl children of the ages during which they are entirely under mater nal control which is to say from baby hood to IS years of age. The dresses of some of the aristocratic young misses who go about in sandals are quite long-of that length which need but one more change to mark the stage of maturity and of the so-called
 putting up of the hair,' which has heretofore been worn long and loose and free. The first sight of we'll developed English girl in bare legs and bare feet is certainly very surprising, but one gets used to it even as our fathers got used to the crinoline, and after one has seen hundreds of girls in this new dress it is even possible to find and admire beauty in the pret- tily made sandals and in the effect of the russet straps criss-crossed over the rosy feet. This fashion is as yet new enough to excite the hostility of the purely English. It has not been in troduced upon the continent, but in all the continental countries mothers are now dressing both their boys and their girls in low shoes and socks, leaving their legs bare This was once an English custom and was. destroyed by the doctors on the ground tht it was injurious to the children's health
 Of course this is even more true of tie sandal fashion-if 1t is true at all .''- Julian Ralph in Brooklyn Eagle

DEFRAUDING INSURANCE MEN.

No one," said the physician, who was in reminiscent mood, "can re- alize the amount of fraud that an ac- cident insurance company meets with, unless he is in a position that gives him an inside cleW. For a number of years 1 have been connected with such a company in the capacity of ex- amining physician, and I am free to state that a large percentage of the claims against the company that l am with contain some element of fraud. A slight accident that would cause an uninsured man no incOnven- fence becomes serious if he happens to be carrying an accident policy. My duties are largely with this class of claims, and the amusing experi- ences that 1 have met with would fill a book.
 "A few days ago was summoned to a hospital to examine man who claimed to have his hearing totally de- stroyed by the premature explosion of some blasting powder. 1 had an idea from the start that the man was sham ming, but all the tests that could ap- ply had no effect whatever, and appar- ently he was stone deaf. Still I wasn't satisfied, and resolved to try a little strategy. Coaching the nurse beforehand how to act, I entered the room hastily and cried
 "'The hospital is afire! Never mind the deaf man It is too late to save him ! Save yourself E"
 Then we both hurried to the door, but the patient was quicker, and reached 1t before we did. He had the good sense to realize that the game was up and he never showed up again" Detroit Free Press.
