Clever "Leg Pulling"

New York Tribune when the

who pretended to cure the afflicted

sound and wise. Among the letters
sent to that person We're several
which had contained money inclosed
by a man whose legs were ofunequal
length, and who paid the healer"
merely for thinking" about the
shorter leg, in the belief that these
thoughts would add an inch or two

merable multitudes OF credulous

to other counties which have not

New Canal Route

1t is announced from Washington
that President Roosevelt will sub
NIT new treaty to Congress in re-
gard to the Nicaragua canal. In
connection with canal news comes
the statement that former Mich
igan man named Grill has presented
the statement to the authorities at
Washington that he has discovered
traces of an ancient waterway be-
tween the Caribbean sea and the
Pacific ocean across the isthums of
Panama. He believes this water
way was entirely n natural one and,
in any event, he says there certainly
is a place where line can be drawn
from the Caribbean sea to the Pa :
cific which will entirely avoid any
thing like q mountain range. He
sent to the state department a sug-
gestion that the matter should be
looked into By the United States be-
fore embarking on any canal enter
prise.
Mr.. Grill declares that this remark
able gap in the mountains is in a
nearly inaccessible part OF the 18TH
mus SO far as present routes are con-
cerned and that it is almost wholly
grown up with the rank vegetation
of the tropics. The gap or Glove in
the mountain range, he says. lies
about half way between the Nicara-
qua route and the line of the Pana-
ma canal.
At the state department. it is sa id
the government would not be in
clined to investigate his story be-
cause the general surveys OF the
isthmus which have been made by
commissions from various countries
for century have never developed
the existence Of any such natural
pass as Mr.. Grill claims to have dis
covered, and it is believed he has
been misied by the report OF natives.

. Grades and Walks.

lroquois Chief.-This paper is of
the opinion that the town board
should establish a street grade at
once. The time is coming when eve
ry town that has the least bit OF en-
terprise will have cement sidewalks.
II the grade was established a
private individual, il he so desired,
could replace his vermont plank
walk with cement. Without the es-
tablished grade, however, this can
not he done. Cement walks are
cheaper in the end than plank walks,
besides giving town a metropoli-
tan appearance.

The Practical Joke.

The practical joke is a remnant Of
barbarism. Hunted back to its origin,
it is a survival of the methods Of tor
ture in vogue with savages the world
over. The idea behind every practical
joke Is the inhiction Of pain, shame,
fear or ridicule upon the victim. 1t is
not often that tragic effects follow a
joke, repeating the news chronicles OF
the daily press, but when one reflects
that the real object of every alleged
"joke' of the practical kind is simply
to infiict physical or mental pain upon
some one it seems as if it must be time,
by the clock of the ages, for the prac-
tice to end, at least among civilized
and half civilized people. - Ada &.

The One That Cruikshank Drew ara
the Crowds 1t Drew.
One day about the year 1918 George
Cruikshank was passing Newgate on
his way to the exchange, when, seeing
crowd collected, he went forward to
learn what vas the matter and saw
that it.. was the execution OF several
mer aud women. He was horrified at
the spectacle and on inquiring learned
that the woman was being hanged for
passing counterfeit II notes. He learn
ed also that this punishment was quite
common thing, even though the poor
wretcheS often Sinned in ignorance, be-
ing the dupes Of men who sent them 20
buy some trife and return the change
to them. Wrung with pity and with
shame, Cruikshank went home and i'm
mediately, under the inspiration of his
feeling, sketched grotesque carica-
ture Of a bank note. He called it
bank restriction note-nOt to be imi-
tated. He represented on it place Of
execution, with spaces about filled in
Britannia devouring her children and
transport ships bearing the lucky or
unlucky ones who had escaped death
to Van Diemens Land OF Australia,
while in place of the well known sigma
ture of Abraham Newland was that of

He had just finished this, when his
publisher Hone entered, and seeing it,
begged to have it for publication. So
Cruikshank etched it and gave it to
Hone. who exhibited it for sale in his
window with startling effect. Crowds
quickly began TO gather and purchased
so eagerly that the issue was soon ex-
hauSted.
CruikShank was kept hard at work
making more ctchings, the crowds
grew so great that he street was block
ed, and the mayor bad to send soldiers
to clear it, Hosse realized over 600 in
