LANE WAS READY.

.l.i..

witty Retort which lie Made to Thomas
A. Hendricks.
Henry S. Lane was one Of the best
stump speakers that Indiana ever pro-
duced," said a gentleman the other day
who has resided in this state for over
60 years. He was essentially a
stump speaker, using that term in the
old time sense of the word, and ! am
sure that sending him to the United
States senate was equivalent to putting
him in coffin, as far as display of his
peculiar oratorical ability was con-
cerned. He was especially brilliant at
repartee, and his ability in this respect
might me likened to the play of mas
ter with the rapier.
Il shall never forget the time that |
heard him make one of those apt re-
plies to Thomas A. Hendricks. 1t was
back in 1857 or 'oS, while | was teach
ing school down at Leavcn worth, in
Crawford county. Lane and Hendricks
had been stumpinS the state and hold
ing series Of joint debates that reused
the interest of all the people. Their
stay at Leavenworth was limited to
the time between two boats, and it was
agreed that the debate should be gov
erned by this fact Hendricks spoke
first and made a very plausible argu-
ment for his side of the question. Lane
arose to reply only short time before
the boat was due, but he pitched into
tn argument Of his opponent with such
vigorous attack that in very few
minues Hendricks became uneasy, and
appeared to be very uncomfortable.
was we'll down toward the front Of the
audience, where could Sec every eX-
preston of the two orators faces. Pres
emily, as Lane was in the midst of one
of his most scorching and sarcastic
periods, the whistle of the approach
ing steambat was heard.
AT the sound. Mr.. Hendricks. who
was seatd on the platform immediate
ly behind Mr.. Lane, leaned forward,
and in whisper that could be plainly
heard by most of the auditors, said:
"'Mr. Lane, the boat is coming.
Don't you think you had better stop?'
"Mr. Lane paused and looked down
over his shoulder for a moment at his
interrupter with look of utmost scorn
on his face, then, turning to the audi
ence with a smile, remarked: 1
thought that it was about time that
the gentleman would want to take to
water This witty turn, of course,
caught the fancy of the crowd, and it
was many u day before Hendricks
heard the last of the incident. ."-Indi-

The SPEAKING PORTRAIT.
a New Scheme to Aid Dei ectives In Id.n.
tifyiny Criminals,

A New Scheme to Aid Detectives In ldsn-
tifying Criminals.
Every one knows that, thanks to the
great Partisan criminal expert. M. Ber-
tilon, Il criminal who falls into the
clutches of the law more than once
stands absolutely no chance of hiding
his identity if his measurements have
been taken by the anthropometrical
system. But as every criminal also
knows when he is at large this system
is practically useless to his pursuers
the detective cannot measure the
length of Il man $ middle Anger in Il
crowd or take an impression Of his
thumb. Yet once again the genius CT
NJ. Bertillon has triumphed over the
Identification difficulty, and he has
come forward with system which
approaches very near perfection.
lie Portrait Parle," as M. Bertillon
calls his method. consists in form Of
card that may be carried in tho
pocket, on which are noted down
those characteristics that have the
most fiXty in the individual and
the most variability in different
people. THE anthropometrical sys-
tcm," said NJ. Bertillon, when discuss
ing the subject with me, "necessitates
the detention of the criminal, whose
measurements are taken with the aid
of compasses, but the verbal portrait
which aims at the criminal at liberty
may be applied unknown to him and
from q distance.
This description, based on knowl-
edge of human anatomy any one cur
master with a little preliminary study.
and it is of so much precision that it
applies solely to the person it repre-
.;ents, to the exclusion of all others.
1t is composed, for each individual, Ut
from 10 to Is distinctive signs. which
should always be borne in mind by an
officer in search Of a law breaker.
The verbal description has the advan-
tage over photograph in that it can
be turned up in any place at any hour
and transmitted by telegraph or tele
phone"
Examining Il verbal portrait, we find
that it is divided into three chapters.
The first deals with the color Of the
eye, Hdll ulu ldSt, lhC oCtouu WIN ti.O
characteristics of the forehead, nose,
right ear and build of body, the third
with an analysis Of the profile and
face.
1t does not necessarily follow that
because the chapters are arranged In
this order the detective will apply
them in the same order to his crimi-
nal. When looking for his man he
carries in his mind only the most char
acterstic features-the fixed features.
such as the eyes, nose, forehead or
ear. These the criminal cannot alter
at will, but he may dye the color OF
his hair or the complexion Of his face;
he may hide his mouth under false
hair or disguise his build Of body by
| padding his clothes or in other ways.
Therefore the officer carries in his
mind kind of caricature Of the per-
son to be recognized, concerning him
self at first with only the most exag-
gerated features and taking no heed OF
those which would be described az
average. Every one knows how easy
it is to recognize some we'll known
parsonage from a caricature, which is
far superior to the best photographs
for this purpose.-Pearsons Magazine,

QUEER HOUS: GARDENS.
A japanese Idea " hich Bids Fair to

A japanese Idea mich Bids Fair to he
Popular Here.
Japan has sent many quaint and
none more perfect and yet more sur
prising than the miniature house gar
den which is to the Japanese home
what the average window conserva-
tory is to the luxurious American
mansion.
The difference. however. between
the Japanese and American house gar
den is very great The Oriental prod
uct is genuine garden, laid out
with all the taste and science Of the
professional landscaDist The terri
tory it covers is from four to five feet
square. Such fairy pleasure ground
is called in Japan toko-niwa. and
every well-bred Japanese family that
cannot afford a domain large enough
for real garden buys a toko-niwa
and sets it up in what might be called
the area.way of the house. or in the
family sitting room.
Only recently have these exquisite
miniature gardens been brought to
the United States. They are delicate
things to import. and as yet are very
costly, for all the trees and shrubs
belong to the artificially dwarfed YER
dure of Japan. and only an artist Of
true ability and culture can construct
toko-niwa.
The foundation is square or round,
shallow box. the sides of which are
daintily carved. Into the box go
stones and earth for the construc-
tion of evergreen crowned hills. beet
ling crags, humpbacked bridges. peb-
bled paths and stretches of meadow
land. Rivulets no wider than case
knife blades, meander through the
lawns, gurgle in rapids under the
bridges and widen into lakelets where
golden minnows glide and dive. There
is usually tea house on the hillside,
and bit of temple or shrine un-
der grove of trees that tower II
inches in the air, and in the western
sense It isn't garden at all, but a
wonderful bit cf natural landscape,
copied right out of Japan itself. and
only large enough to ornament a ta.

This settles the fight which has been

that the stipulation on their contract
