LONG TERM In PRISON.
Curious Case showing Separate Systems
of tho Government.


of tho Government
A most curious case, showing how
the separate systems Of the govern
ment may take on confusing shape, has
just come to light in Indiana. A man
who has for nineteen years been con-
fined in Jail at the expense Of the ma
ton, has during all these years been
in receipt, or intended receipt, OF
considerable sum of money from the
same nation. 1t is because the man
fought in the great war that the COM
plication was made possible. At least,
his services In battle were responsible
in part for the situation. 1t once oc-
Cured to the same man that after nav
ing fought the good fight for Freedom
and unifcation 1t might be the grace
full thing for the country to recognize
his worth by monetary consideration,
so he put in an application for a pen
sion. 1t was allowed, and the mans
name was written on tho book OF fame,
after which ne was entitled to dollars.
Shortly following this period another
man passed on to the great beyond,
under circumstances which the coro-
ners jury considered called for the
trying of somebody on capital punish
ment charge. 1t so happened that the
pensioner was the person fixed upon
as the active agent assisting the
earthly exit Of the deceased. Although
the pensionef stoutly maintained his
innocence, the proof was so strong as
to lead the jury to verdict Of guilty
and the committing judge to a SEN
tence of life imprisonment. This was
in the year 1880, and for nineteen
years the prisoner worked out his des-
tiny behind the bars. At the conclu
sion Of this time the man who had
committed the murder took to his last
bed, and it occurred to him to make a
confession. So the pensoner Is free
now. But he still has troubles. There
aru some thousands Of dollars in pen
sion money which the wardens have
failed to turn over to him, and he is
obliged to sue for their recovery. Be-
sides, there are the wasted nineteen
years, because of the implicit. judicial
faith in the Instability of circumstan-
tial evidence-San Francisco Call.

Hymns of independence Day.

Our two national hymns are regu-
lhly attacked for their lack of good
grammar and real poetry, but though
they may have technical defects, they
unquestionably possess that indefina-
BILE something which arouses the in
ward thrill. "The Star Spangled Ban

Francis Scott Key, after the anxious
night Of the bombardment Of Fort Nc
Henry, was first sung in the theatre

'That's not so. l know they nail me
to tree, but l spin around and around
and around and fill the air with sparks
and beautiful colored fire and then af-
terward I'm good to make wagons

All this time the big fire-cracker was
trying to speak, but the others talked
so fast that he couldn't make himself
heard and every one was so interested
that no one noticed a little piece of
punk with bright eye In the corner.
None Of you are any use without
me-" he said. ''If it wasn't for me
you'd be good for nothing"
What's that?" 1t was the big crack
er who spoke. "You! Why you don't
even wear clothes, and you don't make
any noise at all"
This last retort made the punk very
angry and he grew brighter and
brighter.
"Pll show you what I'm good for,
thenw and he touched his head to the
long pigtail on the big crackers head.
There was tizz and then big bang
as the big cracker burst. This set all
the others going and such a racket as
there was!
Bang! Crack crack crakety crack.

Oldest Family In Great Britain.

FL O'Brien, Of Dublin, in speaking
of the antiquity Of some Of the Irish
families, told the following story:
There lives in the North of Ireland"
said Mr.. O'Brien, "a family named
O'Neil. Their greatest claim to-promi-
nence lies in the fact that they are the
Oldest family in the United Kingdom.
When Plantagenet, Tudor or Guelph
was not, the O'Neil was. They ruled
as kings before ever William looked
with covetous eye across the English
Channel toward the white cliffs Of AL
bion. This long line of descent has
bred in the family reverence for
their ancestry that approaches idol
airy. The handspring of their life and
action, the pride Of their being, is that
a long line of dead and long since for
gotten O'Neils carry them back in the
direct line to the Dark Ages. AS may
be imagined, their family tree is colos-
sal in It's proportions. 1t has length
of something like eighteen or nineteen
feet, and when 1t Is unrolled at the
castle a holy hush falls over all. To
a visitor there some years ago was,
in due course of time and as a special
mark of favor, shown this marvellous
pedigree. Stretched on the enormous
billiard table, it Tapped three feet at
either end. The visitors eye ran
back over that lengthy line of O'Neils,
long since turned to dust, and he won

in their descent. Just then he became
conscious that that thought had &C.

The Fourth in 1882.
From Golfers Weekly.

DR.. Edward Everett Hale has said
that of all Fourths of July in Boston
that Of 1882 left the deepest mark in
the history of the century. He said
he had spent his last cent and bought
medals, drunk root beer, eaten oysters
and other things, and was slowly re-
turning home when at Park Street
Church he saw procession of chill
dren entering. They were Sunday
school children. 1t was then and there
that the hymn, 'My Country, IT'S of
Thee" was sung, the first time it had
ever been sung in public. Happy fate
that this hymn of the nation was con-
secrated on the national birthday
Saturday Evening Post.

Seeking After KNOWLEDGE.

Figures recently compiled by the
registrar Of Columbia university show
that as O. whole the institution stands
second to Harvard in membership, the
respective euroilments being $40 and
1892. After Columbia came the Uni
versity of Michigan, with S,S13 stu
dents; the University of Chicago,
3,774; the University Of Minnesota,
1923; the University of California,
3,216; Cornell university 1904; the
University of Pennsylvania, 2,573, and
Yale, 2,544. Columbia is one of the
lowest numerically In the size OF Its
mems undergraduate college, which,
however, has increased more than so
per cent in single generation. In the
scientific schools she is surpassed In
numbers only by Cornell and Yale; In
her graduate departments she stands
first in this respect, with Az, against
1913 at Harvard. The statistics further
snow the peculiar prominence of Chi
cago, with her theological seminary OF
$50 students; of Pennsylvania, with
school of AIT dentists, and another OF
60 veterinaries; of Minnesota, with a
college of agriculture, numbering $50
in attendance; 81 California with her
school of art, attracting 20S students;
of Cornell, whose division Of forestry
Is established with registration OF

having a separate school Of music.

around, making an awfui racket that
reused every one in the house.
Bob woke up, hearing the noise, and
ran down stairs, thinking the Fourth
had come.
When he got down he found his papa
standing by the box that had held the
fire-crackers, with an empty pail in his
hand.

boy, rubbing his eyes.

you fireworks celebrated all by them

and before o'clock he was in his
snug little cot dreaming of the great
day and the big celebration he would
have.
No sooner was the little boy asleep
than strange thing happened. The
fireworks were not packed tight, and
if Bob had been near by he would
have heard strange noises come out of
the box that would have surprised him.
Such a commotion! All the fire-crackers
and fireworks were trying to talk at
once, each saying that he was the most
beautiful. No one seemed to listen to
what the others said. Even the little
baby tire-crackers were red in the face
from talking and were quite out of
breath.
Suddenly a big ten-cent cracker with
two pig tails, the biggest in the box,
cried out:
"Be quiet, all Of YOU"
The little crackers trembled and made
faces at him behind his back, but they
stopped talking to hear what he had
to say. When all was quiet the ten
cent cracker said haughtily: II want
