A CASE OF LAW.
The Decision That Was Rendered by
a Basuto Solomon.

The Decision That Was Rendered by
a Basuto Solomon.
Law is complicated thing, and
some Of its decisions seem not to be
founded in equity. Probably most
readers will pass that criticism upon
the case recorded below:
Basutoland, being broken and noun
famous, was until recently the resort
of lions, leopards and other wild ami
mails. Now, however, the hillsides
which were once the resort Of these
savage creatures are the pasture
grounds of tens Of thousands of cattle.
Nearly all dangerous animals have
been driven away from Basutoland,
but not long ago a leopard appeared
on the outskirts of village. The
animal soon became as badly frighten-
ed as the villagers and sought safety
in fight
The next morning the inhabitants
turned out for hunt. One of the
hunters was climbing a steep rock
when he suddenly found himself face
to face with the leopard, whose re-
treat was cut off by the rock itself.
Neither the man nor the animal could
escape the encounter.
The dilemma was an awkward one,
for the climber was unarmed. Realiz-
ing his danger, he put forth his hands
and in desperation caught hold of the
leopard on each side Of ito jaw, hold
ing it at arms length and calling for
help. The leopard clawed and tore bis
captor, but the man held on till help
arrived, and the beast was speared.
Now came a question Of law. By
Basuto law the skin belonged to the
chief. who must reward one of three
administrator the man who speared
the leopard or the man who held it sc
that it was possible to spear it or the
man who, being warned by the bark
ing of his dog, first discovered the
animal in the village.
The Basuto Solomon decided the
case as follows: The man who speared
it could not have done so but for the
man who held it, and the man who
held it could not have known of it's
existence if the dog had not first
warned the village; therefore the credit
for the killing belonged to the dog,
whose owner was entitled to the re
ward,-Youth's Companion.

TIE LITTLE OLD sPiNET.

Do you see the little spinet standing IN the cor,
ner thereS
reat-grandnother loved to play it when she wa
a maiden fair.
Sunbeams through the window twinkle, fick'ring
on its yellowed keys,
And we almost hear the tinkle Of the old time
melodies
Great grandmother gowned in silk, with high
heeled slippers, dainty lace,
Sat there, while smile Of pleasure lighted up
her fair young face;
From without the rose scent fingers, drifting on
the summer breeze,
While she plays with fairy fingers all the old time
melodies.
And the little spinet waits her patiently these
long, long years,
Till its mellow voice is broken, harsh, and has the
sound Of tears,
Yet it seems the sunbeams straying, Mck'ring on
its yellowed keys,
And her fairy fingers playing all the old time
melodiesI

How Do You Pronounce "Dogg,

How do you pronounce E'dog?" The
chances are that, if you are an average
Massachusetts citizen, you pronounce
the CO.. rather broad, like so" in song.
The Century Dictionary, which is a
very indulgent dictionary indeed, al
lows you to pronounce it SO if you
wish, but no other dictionary does.
You should really sound the so" as in
not. Likewise how do you pronounce
"hog?' Even the Century won't let
you say ''hawg." This reminds me
that a friend has written the following
beautiful but abstruse poem:
MY HOG AND MY DOG.
IA lesson in pronunciation.l
! once owned a rowing hog
And likewise little dog,
Whom | chained unto log
To keep him from a bog
Which was near.
That my faithful little dawg,
Despite the chain and lawg,
Would pursue that rowing hawg
And get drowned in the bawg
Was my fear.

LAST HOURS PEACEFUL.
General Harrison Passed Away With
out Reqaininq Consciousness.


General Harrison Passed Away With
out Regaining Consequences.
Indianapolis, March 15.-General
Harrison died at 4:45 p. m. without
regaining consciousness. The expires
ident's death was quiet and painless,
| there being a gradual sinking until
the end came, which was marked by
a single gasp for breath as life de
| parted from the body of the great
| statesman. The relatives, with a few
| exceptions, and several of his old and
tried friends were at the bedside when
he passed away.
The generals condition was so bad
after a restless night that the attend
ing physicians understood that the
end could not be far off and all the
bulletins sent out from the sick room
were to this effect so that the family
and friends were prepared when the
final blow came. The gradual failing
of the remarkable strength shown by
the patient became more noticeable
in the afternoon and few moments
before the end there was an apparent
breakdown on the part of the sufferer
as he surrendered to the disease
against which he
Had Been BraveIy Battling
for so many hours. The change was
noticed by the physicians and the
relatives and friends who had retired
from the sick room to the library be-
low were quickly summoned and
reached the bedside, of the general be-
fore he passed away.
News of the death spread quickly
through the city and several of the
more intimate friends at once hurried
to the residence to offer services,
which, however, were not needed. The
announcement produced the greatest
sorrow, nearly everyone having nur-
tured the hope that General Harrison
would recover. Within a few minutes
all the flags on the public buildings
and most of the down town blocks
were hoisted at half mast and other
outward manifestations of mourning
were made.
None of General Harrison's children
were present at his death. Neither
Colonel Russell Harrison nor Mrs. NC 4
Kee had reached the city, although |
both were hurrying on their way to |
the bedside of their dying parent as
fast as steam would bear them. Eliza-
beth, the little daughter, had been
taken from the sick room by her nurse !
before the end came.

MANY WORDS OF SYMPATHY

Messages of Coincidence for the Be
reaved Family Pouring Into the Har
rison Home From All Parts of the
country-State Officials and Friends
of the Deceased Statesman Complete
Arrangements for the Funeral.
indianapolis, March 15.-No sooner
was the news of the death of ex-Presi-
dent Harrison flashed to the world
than the messages of inquiry which
had been pouring in for several days
changed to messages of sympathy and
coincidence. They came from every
section of the country and throughout
the morning there was a steady line
of messenger boys to the Harrison
home in North Delaware street. Many
of these kilograms were Of such an
intimate personal nature that Mrs.
Harrison felt they should not be given
to the public.
Besides messages from former Pres
fdent Cleveland, twice the rival Of
General Harrison for the presidency,
words of sympathy came from Chief
Justice Fuller, Justice Harlan and JUS
tice McKenna Of the supreme court
and all the remaining members Of
General Earrison's cabinet.
John Wanamaker, who served as
postmaster general, telegraphed that
he will be here to attend the funeral
and it is expected number of the
other ex-cabinet officers will come.
Among other men of prominence
from whom messages were received
were Former Senator Thomas W. Pal
mer Of Michigan, Mural Halsted and
William McAdoo, assistant secretary
of the navy under President Cleve-
land. The first message received was
that of President Mckinley. This was
followed in a few minutes by te1e-
gram from Whitelaw Reid, who was
the nominee for vice president on
the ticket in 1892 with General Har-
rison.
Official8 of the state of Indiana met
at the statehouse with Former Attor-
ney General W. II. H. Miller and
Daniel NJ. Ransdell, sergeant-at-arms
of the senate, representing the Harri-
son family, and made arrangements
in detail for the funeral of General
Harrison. The general plan agreed
on was that the body shall lie in state
at the statehouse Saturday. Funeral
services will be conducted by Rev.
DR.. M. L. Haines at the First Presby-
terrain church Sunday afternoon at
o'clock. 1t was decided on Mrs. Har-
rison's request that there shall not be
a military display on Sunday. On
Saturday, however, the military or
CARNATIONS will take part in the GER
emonies.
Preparations are going forward for
the reception Of the greatest crowds
ever known in this city. Special
trains will be run on all railroads.
Adjutant General Gore has issued |
an order calling out the entire state
militia, consisting Of SO companies
and three batteries of artillery. The
companies will arrive Friday night
and Saturday morning and will re-
main here until Saturday evening.

HEARING ON CABLE Bill canal REPORT IS N

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE House
Committee on Foreign Relations will
begin public hearings on Pacific cable
matters on January IL. Agents Of J.
w. Mackay are expected to be on hand
with a proposal to build cable from
San Francisco to Honolulu without
asking subsidy from the Government.
The general sentiment of Congress SO
far as 1t can be ascertained seems to
favor Government construction and
ownership Of the cable clear to Manila.
Three or four bills are before the
committee, one of them being the Cor
liss bill, which Senator Perkins intro
duced in the Senate providing for Gov.
eminent construction and ownership.
Another Is the Hale bill, providing for
Government construction and control
under the Navy Department. Still an
other, the Jones bill. providing for
Government construction Of cable
from Puget sound via the Aleutian
islands to Japan and Manila. with a
branch to Juneau and other Alaskan
points, and also separate cable from
San Francisco to Honolulu. Jones eS
Inmates that the longer cable will cos,
$s,000,000, and urges as an advantage
that 1t would utilize the Alaskan cable
already constructed.
There is comparatively little cabl,
talk at present. Other and larger topic!
have the right OF way. Friends Of tn,
cable are, however, strong'in the hop'
that the present Congress, which ap
pears certain to pass canal legislation
will also provide for cable to tn,
