The Price of Liberty.
Reddy the Cinch breathed freely

again.
"Not gaity." was the verdict.
After many hours of terrible sus-
pense a jury Of his peers, influenced by
the fervid eloquence and the falling
tears Of his lawyer, had declared that
Reddy did not steal the safe, but that
the crime was committed by his astral
body while it was. projected into a
state of kleptomania.
Turning, he grasped the hand of his
legal champion, Holden Uppharde, the
celebrated criminal lawyer, who put IN
his time wearing noisy diamonds while
the majority of his clients put in their
time wearing bangles on their ankles
at Sing Sing, Ossining, N. Y.
"Well, Mr.. Uppharde, wot's de dam
age?" Reddy the Cinch muttered un'
easily, thrusting one hand into his
pocket with dizziness born of expert
ence.
"We'll call it only thousand this
time, Reddy," responded the lawyer.
"a t'ousand"'' gasped Reddy. "A
t'ousand wot?"

a PUNK less" the legal luminary re-

Consul General Mason sends from
Berlin to the state department at
Washington translation Of report
by the imperial health officer on the
successful results Of the open air treat
ment of consumption In Germany. This
report was requested for the benefit of
the marine hospital service, and a copy
has been sent to the surgeon general.
Mr.. Mason notes that the success OF
this treatment has caused the erection
Of q large number Of establishments in
Germany-sixty, with 5000 beds-in
the spring of 1901. In almost half the
cases the patients had been sick fol-
less than a year before applying for
admission to the institutions. The av'
erage duration Of treatment was 92.4
days for each patient. Data as to the
final results show that Of each hundred
patients treated ST. per cent We're dis.
charged as cured or improved. S.8 per
cent left unimproved, 81 per cent were
worse, and one-half Of l per cent died.
The favorable results were in part due
to careful selection Of cases suitable
for treatment in the institutions.
The full text Of the report appears in
the public health reports of Dec. 6, is
sued by the marine hospital service.

The war department at Washington
has received cablegram from General
Chaffee at Manila giving an account Of
the engagement near Dapado DAP

Ninth infantry, lost seven men killed
and a number We're wounded. The ca

pine scouts arrived soon after. assisted
caring for wounded and removing.
The cablegram from General Chaffee
of Sept. 20, in which he announced the
massacre Of Company G, Ninth infan-
try, near Balangiga, south Samar, was
not less startling that the dispatch
Just received telling Of practically an
other massacre Of members Of Compa-
ny Z of the same gallant regiment.
In the present disaster eighteen men
were caught In defile and were rush
ed from ambush by heavy force Of
savages armed with bolos. 1t was a
fight to finish between bayonet and
bolo.
Captain Frank Schoeffel has won
distinction on other occasions than this
just reported from Manila. says the
New York Journal.
During the Spanish-American war
Schoeffel was one Of the first to gain
the summit of San Juan hill, and In the
h lief Of the Picking legation he was in
the, Kan Of the dash Of the Ninth which
cost that regiment it's commander and
other brave men.
Captain ''.Schoeffels record figured
prominently IN the investigation or the
hazing of Cadet, Booz at West Point.
That episode brought out the fact that
he was the only graduate Of West
Point who had whipped every upper
class man against him while cadet
at the Military academy.
During his four years at West Point
Cadet Schoeffel whipped withNhis fists
whole class of thirty men. One day
five men were pitted against Schoeeffel
at once. The bout lasted twenty 81 X
rounds. At the end they were all tired
but Schoeffe!. Captain Schoeffel's war
record is in accord with his school day
achievements, and his showing in the
engagement in the Philippines Is no
surprise to his friends.
Captain Schoeffel's home is in Roch,
ester, N. y. He is son Of Colonel
Francis A. Schoeffel Of that city.

A Small Boys Onion Patch,

One of the coming men Of Massachu-
sets is little Johnny Calden of Hamp-
den county, who is not yet nine years
old. He already has larger bank &C.
count than many farmers and the
best of it is that he has earned every
cent of it himself. Last spring Johnny
owned goat. and while he got some
fun with him the goat had way Of
eating a good deal and giving little in
return. Johnny. who had an eye for
business, saw that the money invested
in the goat was not earning anything,
so he sold the goat for So and put the
money in an old stocking for future
use.
Johnny decided that onion raising Of
fered more profitable inducements
than driving goat, so he got the use
of a vacant lot 60 by 125 from his
father, who fertilized, plowed and
planted the ground with something
less than a pound of onion seed and
then turned it over to the young lad.
Nights and mornings, Saturdays and
holidays, Johnny worked at this, weed
ing and cultivating the onions. There
came time when he could not do all
the work, so he hunted up the old
stocking and from it paid other boys to
pull weeds and hired man to run
cultivator between the rows. At the
end of the season when the crop was
harvested the account stood something
like this:
Expenditure for labor, $3.50; re-
ceipts, one goat, So; 119 bushels onions
at 20 cents, $500; total, $500; net
profit, $3.50. Next year johnny in
tends to buy his own seed and fertili-
Ger. He placed $50 in the savings bank
and saved the rest for buying Christ
mas presents, for the next crop and in
building a hencoop where he keeps fif-
teen hens, which take up part of his
idle time in the winter. When only
five years old, Johnny made little
venture in celery culture and cleared
SIS. 1t should lie said that Johnny did
not once stay from school to attend
his crop. He is in the fourth grade and
has q pnnd school rec ord.

A FATAL MEAL.

The Cnttmely Ending. OF Crow Who

"Saw a curious thing in California

to a large centiped that he had just

crows followed. One big, black fellow

him at one gulp. Then, in the express

thing doing in the neighborhooi Of

more than 300 feet when he lost all

one Misery of Ane1o-1ndian Life.

Every night at dinner the Anglo-In-
dian holds a kind of levee. The in
sects which attend dance gayly round
the lamp, and one has to watch ones
plate and glass carefully lest some of
the insects should dance into them.
There is one insect-a little, fat,
brown. shining creature-which emits
the worst odor in the world. If one of
these touches your food, the whole is
tainted and rendered inedible. You
dare not kill these pests, for if one be
squashed the whole room becomes
filed with it's disgusting smell and is
uninhabitable for the next half hour.
So these abominable insects fly about
with impunity while the poor Anglo
Indian must perforce look helplessly
on and inwardly sigh "Spero meliora."
