Trouble Over an Election Bet.

In the Sibley congressional dis

stakes, and the,' were placed in his
hands. After Z be election he turn
ed over to the winners only a part
Of the money, keeping 20 per cent
or $1,000, Of the amount as com
mission. According TO a Franklin
newspaper the friends Of the gentle
man there stll believe that he in-
tends to return the money, and h s
action is explained in this way, that
he is not awarA Of the source from
which the bets anne, and that when
he understands the true situation
the remaining $1,000 win be sent
down at once. Pennsylvania laws
we're enforced with regard 10 wagers

the school house where the million
aire received his primarily education.
Near BY are several rose bushes. A
short time ago one Of the residents
gathered a bouquet and sent it to
Rockefeller as a reminder Of his boy
hood days. A $40 bill was returned
as an acknowledgement Of the gift,
and this has given an impetus to a
new industry. That rosebush has
been slipped, transplanted and
forced until several hundred care
fully tended roses are the result.
These will be done up in bouquets
by their various owners and shipped
to the millionaire at $40 per bunch

The romantic have found food for con-
temptation in deaths by sudden strokes of
lightning, in which they have conceived
that a higher power visited upon the heads
of sinful mOrtals just punishment for Of
lenses for which the human codes had no
penalty provided. One of these was where
few years ago a young girl descended
from the Indian race, educated at Carlisle
and of refined tastes and lovely disposition
fell in love with young Missionary who
had gone to her tribes residence to preach
the gospel The beautiful girl was a men,

dian blood in her veins bar to their mar

nights afterward there came severe thun-
der-storm, at the cessation of which the
young minister was missing. Later his
dead body was found on the grave of the
girl. where he had been struck down by a
bolt of lightning.
The collectors of the curious stories of
the freaks of lightning have preserved the
account of the case where what appeared
to be ball of fire was observed rolling
along the ground and finally into a shed
where several pigs were penned. With COM
paratively slow and deliberate movements
the ball traversed the inolosing rails. skirt

BRAINS At THEIR BEST.

Research has proved that the human
mind is at it's fullest power between the
ages of 10 and 60. There are. of course, ex-
ceptions to the rule. such as Byron, the
young Napoleon and Alexander. but taking
it full and by the prime age of the mind
of man is between 40 and 60. Swift was 43
when he wrote "Guliver's Travels" and
John Stuart Mill So when his essay on
"Utilitarianism' was published. although
his Liberty was written three years be-
fore. When "Waverly" came out Sir Wal
ter Scott was A years old. and nearly all
of those tales which have made his lasting
fame as a novelist were written after he
was 49, Millions genius made its Hottest
flights when he was between "a and 50. 1t
was between those years that he wrote
Paradise Lost" 1.-The Task and John
Gilpn'' were written when Cowper was
over so. and Defoe was within two years
of 60 when he wrote "RObinsin Crusoe." OF
all the writings of Thomas Hood. 1.-THE
Song of the Shirt and 1.-THE Bridge of
Sghs' are the best known and will live the
longest. Hood wrote those two poems at
the age of As.
Darwin wrote his "Origin of Species"
when he was 80. and was g. when he gave
to the world his descent of Man." Long
fellow wrote "Hiawatha' at IS. and Oliver
Wendell Holmes gave us Songs in Many
KEYS when he had passed his fifty-fifth
birthday.

French courtier, Button wrote Jefferson:

so exalted his appreciation of his ability

numerous contributors included many

The epigram, wit and originality Of the
work fairly took away the breath of the
great French comedian, and for several
days he would have it that the whole
business was a clever joke perpetrated
by some versatile countrymen. Not until
he met several of his critics and crossed
swords with them in his native tonghe

Bangalore. A large monkey disturbed a
large corba. which was basking In the sun
about a hundred yards from the road. The
Infatuated reptile gave the monkey chase,
but he took the matter easy till he got to
rock. While perched there the snake,
who had been in close chase, reared w
almost to full length, and with open hood
darted at the monkey. But the latter dodg-
ed and ducked on the defensive and allowed
the reptile to strike forcibly each time
against the stone. This went on for con-
siderable time till the snake lay out at full
length, bleeding and exhausted. Then the
monkey seized the snake, and rubbed Its
head clean off the trunk. and afterward
climbed a tree, when the persons who had
witnessed the interesting encounter treated
the victor to Indian corn and sugar cane.
