Her Brilliant Inspiration.

That the proverbial absent-minded
professor is sometimes ably allotted by
his wife is illustrated by a story told Of
Prof. Bunsen. One evening, about the
usual hour for retiring, he took it into
dis head to run v to the club, just as
de and madam were returning from an
evening call.
"But," said the lady, 81 must have
the. front door locked before 1 retire."
This emergency staggered the profess
sor, and as he looked bewildered ut his
wife, the lady, seized with an inspira-
ton, continued:
IN go in and lock tile door aud throw
you the key from the window"
This program was carried out, and
when he reached the club the professor
related the incident to a friend as evi.
dence of his wife's unusual sagacity.
The friend greeted the story with a
o Of laughter.
And why, my dear professor" he
said, did you not simply admit your
Wife, lock the door from the outside and
come away"
True" calculated the learned man of
science; i've never thought Of that"
The climax Of the incident was
reached an hour later when, returning
home. the professor discovered that the
lady, in her excitement, had thrown out
the wrong key.

The Kentuckian was talking freel,

eankton Stirred Up BY = suicide
Clergy. and Citizens Hold Mass
: Meeting and Declare Gambling In
the City Must Cease.

A general mass meeting was held In
Turner Hall, Yanktoh, q few nights since,
called by the clergy and leading citizens
Of the town, and passed resolutions c0n-
demning public gambling in the city Of
Yankton, and binding themselves to use
their utmost endeavor to suppress 1t
there.
This state Of public mind was brought
about through the suicide OF Otto Keehr
last week. The ~coroner's jury returned
the following verdict Friday noon:
1.-THE undersigned jurors, on their oath.
do say that the death Of Otto j. Keehr
was caused by the taking Of a poisonous
compound. with suicidal intent, while he
was in a state of acute mental depression
or desperation Immediately subsequent %
and caused by the total loss Of all the
money In his possession, and that this
money was lost in u Of the gambling
places in the city of Yankton."
Twenty-Five witnesses were examined.
Their testimony showed that Keehr, on
the night Of his death, with three COM
panions, entere6a gambling place, where
they played poker, at which ,Keehr lost
steadily. He recouped somewhat on a
roulette wheel, but eventually lost every
cent he had, remarking when he left that
he was Cleaned out" The party then
went to a restaurant for lunch, and or
dering what they wanted, went to a
neighboring saloon, leaving Keehr in the
restaurant.
Left alone, it is the theory of the jury
that his financial condition came home
to him with such force as to make him
desperate. The testimony of a waite.
showed this.
On the return of his friends he excused
himself for n moment, and in an alley Mt
one side of the restaurant drank some
horse medicine he had in his pocket.
These facts, and the grief Of Keehr's
young wife, stirred up the community to
such a pitch that a mems meeting was
called for in Turner Hall to take some
action in the matter. At the meeting
the hall was SO crowded that the en-
trance way was filled with standing men
and women, and many could not enter ut
oil.
The strongest feeling was expressed by
both speakers and audience. Rev. Faith
er Lawrence Link especially spoke with
effect, aud if the advantage is followed
up, sounded the death knell Of public
gambling in Yankton.

The Power or Kindness,

A crowd stood on the pavement,
watching q driver who was trying to
make a horse draw q wagon full of
straw.
The horse-a fine beast, with plenty of
mettle and we'll groomed-would not
pull, although some men tried to start
him by moving the wheels, while 9th.
ers pushed behind.
The driver pulled the horses head,
first to one side and then to the other,
but exert himself he would not.
The whip was used and plenty Of adj
vice given. Still the horse remained
stupid.
A little lad standing by called out:
"Show him some kindness, master!"
Some Of the crowd laughed, but the
driver put up his whip and began to pat
his horse; and after a little time the
animal became anxious and restless,
and before many minutes had gone his
stubbornness was conquered, and he
started of with the wagon and straw.
while the boy walked away, remark.ng:
"All he wanted was some kindness"

Jail Used ae!Reservoar.

WF ErH
Sonic years ago the State OF Nevada
had need OF q prison. and for that mat
ter It has great need OF It now. but
at that time the necessity was deemed
so great that tho Le19lslaturNmade an
appropriation for the construction OF a
place at Reno where dangerous char
acters might be kept in restraint. The
walls were built good and strong. They
were thick and high. for they were in
tended to prevent any possibility Of es-
cape by the craftiest Of convicts. The
work was finished In due season, but
e%xigencies had arisen since the begin
ming that made II. seem desirable to
confine the prisoners elsewhere. So
the walls were never useds although
$11S,000 Of hard cash had been spent
on them. There they stood, year after
year, as useless as q barren fruit tree.
Not long ago DR.. Patterson, superin-
tendent of the Nevada insane asylum,
an institution not far from the unused
walls, figured that they would hold
water. He consulted with others, and
the result IL that the stockade, instead
Of being a corral for prisoners, has be.
come a fountain Of health, Of comfort,
almost Of life. for DIR. Patterson and
the u~nfortunates under his care. More
than this. AS the walls are twenty feet
high aud only six feet are needed for
reservoir purposes. the rest is being
torn away and the material used for re-
pairs and new buildings at the State
University and the asylum. If this
isn't gathering figs from thistles 1t
comes about as close to 1t al anything
that has come under observation in re-
cent years.
