 Richards said that he had had official notification that gambling was being conducted, about May 2L.. Then Me Gnn produced letter written to him by the marshal in which that official scored McGinn in good round terms for the neglect of his official duties and for the dissolute life he was leading McCiun himself read the letter, but his cheek never paled. McGinn wanted to know why Richards had written the letter, and the latter said it.had been reported to him that McGinn was going to bring charges against him because he had not suppressed various evils in the town. The letter was not sent for the purpose of intimidation. McGinu also referred to an alleged conversation between the judge and the marshal in the Golden Gate hotel as to the prepar- ation of a juror list, but the marshal maintained that he had not written cut list until after the venire was issued. The only attorney at he bar who Lad gone to the marshal's office and crit. cized the juror lists was McGinu, and

jack Cade,s Monument.

At Heathfeld, in England, is farm
on which still stand the remains Of
an old stone house that is said once to
have been the home of the notorious
Jack Cade. Whether or not Cade ever
lived there can never be accurately de-
termined, but there is no disputing the
fact that he was killed In that neigh
borhood. On the main road, not far from
the ruins of the house, stands mon
ument with this inscription "Near this
spot was slain the notorious rebel Jack
Cade by Alexander Iden, Esq, sheriff
of Kent, A. ID. 1450. His body was
carried to London and his head fixed
upon London bridge. This is the sue
cess Of all rebels, and this fortune
chanceth ever to traitors"

Ancient Lightning Rods.

The ancients did not have lightning
rods constructed ms ours are, but they
had lightning conductors, which shows
that they knew how TO protect them
selves from the danger that lies In Il
thunderstorm. Even SO long ago as
the tenth century lightning was divert
ed from fields by planting in them
long sticks or poles, on top of which
were lance heads. IL Is said chat the
Celtic soldiers used to try to make
themselves safe from the stroke dur
Ing n storm by lying on the ground
with their naked swords planted point
upward beside them
There was long ago on the shore of
the Adriatic sea stronghold known
as DUNE castle. on the highest tower
of which there was an iron rod that
was used as Il means of telling when Il
storm was approaching In summer A
soldier was always stationed near the
rod when the sea had threatening
look, and II was his duty to frequently
put the iron point of his javelin close
to the rod. watching for the spark that
would tell him IL was time To warn the
fishermen by ringing big bell.

Single Beds For Real Rest.

II single beds were more numerous
than they are great many people
would be better off. When one is
tired, sick, cross, restless, out of sorts,
he or she ought TO sleep alone and not
communicate by proximity the NAL
aides that affect him. The brute crea-
lures when sick go away by them
selves till they die or get over their
troubles, and this instinct great
many human beings have. Those that
have II are best If INDUCED In II, not
to the slightest degree of neglect, how
ever. Where two children in family
must share the same room In great
many cases they would be better off To
have two single beds rather than one
wide double bed. We can share n
great many things with those we love,
but solitude clings to us from birth to
death. We come into the world alone:
we must go out of II alone, and we
live In 1t alone, In certain important
sense and to get and keep our "bear-
ings" we must sometimes be left alone.
1t Is good that we should be.-Family

ItnIsIng the Wind.

1t seems incredible, but is neverthe-
less fact, that as late as the year
1914 an old woman named Bessie Mil
lie of Pomona, I'm the Orkney islands,
sold favorable winds to seamen at the
small price of sixpence n vessel. For
many years witches were supposed to
sell the wind. The Finlanders and lap
landers made quite trade by selling
winds. The old woman, after being
well paid by the credulous sailors,
used to knit three magical knots. The
buyer was told he would have good
gale when he united the first knot, the
second knot would bring strong
wind and the third severe tempest

A London physician of large practice
asserts that owing to his extremely
sensitive sense of smell he can foretell
the coming Of death forty-eight hours.
He says that when a patient comes
within two days of death n peculiar
earthly smell is emitted from the body.
When the fatal disease is slow In Its
progress, the odor makes its appear
ance as much as three days before
hand, but when the disease Is of the
galloping kind the doctor says he re-
ceives much shorter warning. He at
tributes the smell to modification,
which begins within the body before
life Is extinct.
Dogs are thought to have this sense,
for hunting hounds have been observed
to begin n mournful baying day or
two before their masters died.

COLLISION WITH a COMET.
what Such n Catastrophe wouId
Mean For the Earth.

Although u Is exceedingly improba-
bic that the earth may be destroyed by
collision with n comet or some huge
meteor, still the fact that such con.
tingency Is possible IL sufficient ground
for discussion on the subject and for
imagining what the result might be,
says the Woman's Home Companion.
The earth is moving around the sun
at velocity of eighteen miles II sec
ond, while the sun, with all It's attend
mt planets. IL being hurried on toward
the great fiery constellation of Hercu-
les Mt far greater velocity. The very
fact that small meteors exist proves
tine possibility OF the existence In space
Of mcteors of inconccivable magnitude.
Even great black dead worlds may lie
In our path like breakers In the path of
ship. Fifty miles n second Is not an
unusual velocity for heavenly bodies.
and some are known to move mt
speed even In excess of n hundred
miles second, five hundred times the
speed Of rifle ball. Small meteorites,
which reach the earth at velocity of
from twenty to thirty miles second,
are Instantly consumed by the friction
generated with the atmosphere. Large
mctcors, however, occasionally reach
the earth, escaping destruction from
their size, but are found to have their
surfaces fused from heat generated by
the passage through the atmosphere.
Although II IL not probable, still It Is
possible, that the earth may some time
encounter such shower OF small me-
teors. perhaps In the form of comet,
that the heat OF combustion from fric-
tlon with our atmosphere and the poi
sonous gases thereby generated might
destroy all terrestrial life.

RIGHTS OF NAVAJO WOMAN

The Navajo woman, who has made
her tribe the most famous of all liv-
Ing Indian races by means OF her great
and excellent invention, the Navajo

great Independence. Her property
rights are carefully respected. She

The Navajo woman has no perma-

has been greatly impcdcd by It's dark
superstition that every death Is caused
by Chindc, the devil, and that evil
spirits llnger about the dead body. The

No rain has been SO general since the drought began last spring. but it cannot now be of as much benefit to crops as it would have been had if come two or three weeks ago.
