Eyes" replied the old general. "In
olden times they hung thieves on cross
es. Now they hang crosses on thieves"

From the Detroit Journal
Once upon a time there lived two kings,
by name Ethelstane and Ethelward
Now. both of these kings. simultaneously
as it chanced. dreamed of universal peace.
and proposed as with one voice the dis
armament Of nations.
Hereupon each of the kings, Ethelstane
equally with Ethelward. fell to felicitating
himself upon having been the first to con-
ceive Of this excellent project
1T is my ideal" quoth Ethelstane.
Pardon me, 1t is my ideal" protested
Ethelward.
At first the kings were courteous, though
insistent, but presently their blood warmed.
neither being at all given to yielding, until
they were finally quite beside themselves
with anger.
I'VE shall see whose idea it is-' thundered
Ethelstane, placing himself at the head of
his army and marching boldly into the do
mains of Ethelward.
I'VE shall indeed see!" roared Ethelward.
gathering his forces to meet the invader.
During ten long years the war proceeded,
with varying fortunes. until both kingdoms
were devastated and depopulated. At last
Ethelward fell by the sword of his foe.
1T was my idea" exclaimed Ethelstane.
not forgetting to fall upon his knees and
humbly to thank the God of Battles.
This story Of Ethelstane and Ethel ward
makes it very plain indeed that there are
some things which cannot be settled save
by an appeal to arms.

HUNTING THE JACKRABBIT.

How the Exhilarating Sport Is Fol-
lowed in California.
From the New York Evening Post.
A small muddy-gray animal has darted
like lightning from among the brush out
from under the front horses. For second
the apparition is startling to those of the
party who are having their first ride after
the hounds. The creature has an inquisi-
tive head, pair of enormous black-tipped
ears, erect and rakish. For a moment the
rabbit stands, and then by leaps Of ten and
twelve feet each 1t shoots forward in full
view Of all. A few involuntary screams
from the feminine riders; the hounds fol-
low in pursuit like mad. the horses plunge
forward, and. every one fired with zest and
excitement, the field is away, fast and
furious.
All the dogs gradually close in upon the
jackrabblt and the irresistible cry. Hi!
hi! hi!' goes up and down the line OF fol-
lowers Of the hounds. The rabbit, an eX-
perienced old fellow, begins the run as If
he had been seeking just such sport. He
leaps four or five feet in the air to clear
boulder or to skin piece Of chapparal.
One almost believes he could hop over
whole county IL hard pressed. For a few
hundred yards the jackrabbit goes in
straight line, never divergfng for any OBJ
struction. The dogs are exerting every
muscle and glide along through the short
vegetation like animated arrows. Such sim
uosity, such grace, were never better seen
in animals. The pace is hard for some
are taking everything Narrow arroyas
are jumped. fences leaped and irrigation
bitches crossed with ease At the end of
two miles several riders have fallen by the
wayside. But the main part of the hunters
are still going. and are well in with the
hounds.
The rabbit has stopped several times, as
If In actual ridicule of his pursuers. and

STRIKE HELPS DERBY NEWS.
New Plant Stocked Up and Paper Will
 Hereafter Be a Daily.

An interesting condition of affairs for newspaper publishers to contem- plate is the change that bas come over the spirit of the dreams of the Derby News since the developments of the strike. It shows the local feeling over the present labor trouble. 1t $ said that so intense has tbe feeling become against e publication which they claim to be run in the interest of the Farrel people that they have deter mined to try and get . voice m the public press through tic Derby News. This newspaper was formerly daily, and was recently burned out, hamper ing it so severely that it has since Dec3 able to appear only as q weekly. Now, however. tine strikers aile3e thels sup port will go to the Derby News. Al fusion to this matter is mace i'll an ar- ticle elsewhere in the Register to-day.
 Upon inquiry at the office of the News to-day it was found .hat thas office has just been -eitted. new Hoe press and two linotype machlnes hav- Ing been put in, and better equip ment than the office has ever lad be- fore. The paper will come cut to- night as daily of eight pages, and it was reported to be loaded with ad- vertising patronage and to have flat tering prospects,. as the sentiment of the community was with 1t.
 This is only another incident in the progress of this very remarkable strike. The News, it was said, would be conducted as a newspaper proposi- tion, pure and simple.-New Haven Register.

CHANGES AT CoNEY ISLAND.
Board of Health Stops Whole Lot of
 So-Called Amusements.

So-Called Amusements.
 New York, July 23.-There will be no more ''Flip Flop" Loop the Loop or Barrel of Love- performances at Con- ey Island during the present season.
 The board of health and police de- partment have issued their mandates. Life, limb and property must be pro- tected, even if it does affect the ex- chequers of enterprising individuals who look to frequenters of the sea- shore to supply them with funds for tue cold winter months. Driscoll, the police captain at Coney Island, went forth yesterday from his legal lair and stopped at the Loop the Loop."
 When the centrifugal performance concluded he informed the person who had it in charge that he would have to discontinue business operations for the summer. There were scores of peculiar looking persons standing ready to be stood upon their heads, just as if there were no other ways about the island hy which they could be relieved of the contents of their pockets. The captain then paid visit to Cap-
  formance and said the board of health would be pleased to have him discon- tinue his business for the season. To participate in the pleasures of Flip Flop" is to defy the laws of gravita- tion, and when that law is defied so are those of the health department. l The same conditions existed at the sBarrel of Love- inclosure. While the health laws are not violated ordinarily where barrels of love are dispensed, at Coney Island it is somewhat different. ssBarrel of Love" is only name, and because it had tendency to make per- sons who indulged in it, at Coney Island, i'll, the board of health felt called upon to stop it. Visitors must, 1 therefore, find their barrels of love whece the police cannot see them. Drfscoll. captain, informed the op- orators of the institutions mentioned that a continuance of their business would be tantamount to an fmmedi- ate arrest.
 The same edict went forth to Rock away. where Baldwin, captain, gave out similar orders.
