BOOK MAxIMs.

1t is better to give book than to
lend it.
Do not bite a paper knife until it has
the edge Of a saw.
Do not cut books except with a
proper ivory knife.
1t is ruination to a good book to cut
1t right through into the corners.
Books are neither card racks, crumb
baskets nor receptacles for dead leaves.
Never write upon title page or half
title. The blank fly leaf is the right
place.
Do not turn the leaves Of books down.
Particularly do not turn the leaves of
books printed on plate paper.
If you are in the habit of lending
books, do not mark them These two
acts together constitute an act Of indis.
erection.
Books were not meant as cushions
nor were they meant to be toasted be

FolLED BY HIS OWN TRICK.
Scheme For Selling a Farm and Its
Dramatic Climax,

Dramatic Climax.
''Some years ago. said the narrator,
ian oil boom hit Litchfield, Ills, and
everybody for miles around was seen
shifting for oil and every stranger sus-
pected of being an expert looking for
good thing. An old farmer named Loo
mis- had big place three miles out Of
town, which would have been fortune
for him had he not been possessed of a
mania for swapping, manifest in per-
ennial attempt to trade off his land
for twice it's value.
''When the boom was at the top notch,
Loomis received a visitor who took so
much interest in the farm, so liked it's
appearance, location, etc, that the old
farmer scented petroleum man and
saw visions of incalculable wealth;
but, being shrewd man, LOOMS did
not care to take any unnecessary
chances with Providence, and on the
quiet he sent the hired man out the
back way with orders to dump the kerr
osene can into the well. The visitor
liked the entire place, inspected the
barn, the chicken yard and then, as if
by chance. asked for drink Of water.
LOOMS was waiting for that and
hauled up trimming bucket before
the mans own eyes and poured him out
a gourdful of liquid with a fine, opa-
descent scum upon it. The visitor smell
ed the stuff, tasted it, made wry face
and asked if the water was always like
that. oh, yes said Loomis, but you
soon get accustomed to the taste, and
our doctor says this is the finest water
on earth for the stomach Well, I
am ding DANCED if I'll ever get used to
It,. was the unexpected response. !
am looking for farm, not an oil we'll
and if have got to haul my drinking
water three miles from Litchfield |
guess I'd rather buy nearer town.
ut took Loomis six months to get the
taste of oil out of his we'll, and by thai
time the boom was over. and nothing
was left of the oil craze but rotting der
riclis and abandoned shafts."-New Or
leans Times Democrat.

Un-American.

Here and there one hears people
wishing that tie assassin Of the Pre-
sidcnt might be tortured by slow burn
ing or something OF that sort,
No one has the legal right to torture
a human being in America, and the idea
is not in keeping with the institution
Of free and enlightened country. i
was the wish Of Mckinley on his death
bed that his murderer be given a fair
trial. The stories that the police au-
htorities tortured their prisoner to
make him confess is doubtless more the
work of imaginative reporters than any
thing else All this talk OF torture
smacks of the Spanish Inquisition
more than any thing else. 1t has no
place on American SOIL The man
should be given an impartial trial and
after conviction hung in due form the
same day as any other murderer.

Smoking Out the Deer.

The unusual quantity of smoke OBJ
servable hnging over the mountains

Indians are engaged in their old game
of smoking out the deer. In the fall
of each year they set fire TO the noun
tin forests and the deer are obliged
to take refuge in the valleys, where
they fall an easy prey to the willy red
