The Value of Being Stabbed.

The enthusiasm of the journalist and
that Of the scientist and his disposition
to sacriic himself for his art quite as
strong. A dispatch from Paris, while
it records the stabbing of Mr.. Percival
Pollard by an young Austrian who mis-
took him for another man. adds: "Mr.
Pollard bled profusely, but the wound
proved slight, and he regards the eX-
perience as Of great value to him from
a literary point of view" Mr.. Pollard
is not exceptional in his delight at
being stabbed as source of material
for realistic writing. Those who serve
the public in the literary field feel con-
stantly the shortcomings of their imag-
inatlons, and are quite willing 20 piece
out their fancy by description, not of
imaginary situations, but real ones.
There are no doubt young and ardent
writer's waiting around for chance to
be stabbed, shot, drowned land resusci
tateD to be able to write it up. 1t Is
very hard to have voluntary emotions
They are quite machine like. How can
one describe a runaway who has never
been in one, or rescue from burning
building who has not seen such n res.
cue or, better still, been the rescuer or
the rescued? The rising literary world
is simply pining for Experiences" 1t
was great luck Mr.. Percival Pollard
was in, getting stabbed in Paris; he is
envied of a large circle of admiring
frlends.-St. Louis Globe-D Democrat.

Indications OF strength in Newspapers.

AHdicdtiohs ol StrenSth IN Newspapers.
There are several features that enter
the makeup of strong newspaper and
enable an advertiser to gage its value
with reasonable accuracy.
First, comes the news feature. A
newspaper that covers the news field
thoroughly is likely to be a favorite
with the people and to enjoy substan-
tial circulation.
Next, is its appearance, not so much
from the standpoint of artistic make
up and Typography as from that of
prosperity. The paper with a pros
porous appearance will, generally
speaking, give the advertiser good SER
vice.
Third, comes the question of rates
An advertiser is justified in refusing
to do business with a paper having
fiuctuating prices for space, because
he cannot know when bottom is
reached.
Therefore, the chief indications of
strength in newspapers are: Enter
prise in news gathering, a prosperous
appearance, and an invarlable rate

A man who breeds pigs for the pork
trade was talking the other day abom
the likes and dislikes nf these ami
mails.
"A pig" said he, "hates dog, but
admires a COW. l have seen my pigs
stand perfectly still and gaze at COW
for many minutes at time. They are
also fond of horse. A horse, as a
matter of fact, seems to be pretty fond
of them, and l have seen horses and
pigs together in the same stall on a
very friendly footing.
pigs are fonder of women than of
men, and they dislike children They
are fond of cold weather. Rain is very
repugnant to them. Snow they like.

WARS RAVAcss IN CUBA.
The Loss of Life Estimated at Nearly
2O0,O0O-Efrects on Agriculture.

From recent bulletin issued by the
United States Geological Survey, enti-
tied "a Gazetteer of Cuba" compiled
by Henry Gannett, geographer, some
suggestive facts regarding the island
are taken.
Light is thrown on the depopulating
effect of the war by the comparison of
the census of 1899 with that of 1871.
In the latter year it was 1851, ,6S7, or
$4,000 more than twelve years later, in
1899. Allowing for the probable in
crease in the population between 1887
and 1895, the year In which the insur-
rection broke out, the loss of life, as in
dicated by the two censuses, may be
estimated at nearly 100000, loss to
be attributed to the war, and the ac-
companying Recommendation.
With an acreage of $4,000 square
miles, and a population in 1899 of l.
572,797, only three per cent. of the area
in farms was under cultivation. The
most highly cultivated portions of the
island were in Matanzas and Habana
provinces, which lie adjoining in its
western part, while in Puerto Principe,
the large central province, cultivation
was comparatively slight and the land
was used mostly for cattle ranches.
The crops, in the order Of areas culti-
waited, were: first, sugar cane, occupy
ing somewhat less than half of the cul-
tivated area; next, sweet potatoes, oc-
cupying eleven per cent. of the area
tobacco, nine per cent, and bananas a
trife less than nine per cent. Tobacco
and sugar We're grown in all the prov
inces In 1899 there were in Cuba POT
sugar mills with a daily production of
81, ,407 bags.

How to Choose n Husband.

In some parts of Germany the girls
have a pretty custom in which the
queen Of flowers plays a part.
If girl has several suitors, and
wishes to know which of them would
be true to her, she takes rose petals
and drops them into a bowl of water.
giving each the name of one of her
admirers.
The leaf that remains floating longest

she may rely on, and whom she would

SCANDAL.


Far blacker than ravens wings,
1t croalls and feeds on unclean things,
Nor lets the shadow of doubt
Soften the lie it burrows out.
With tongue-blades keener than knife,
1t probes the bleeding wounds of life
Lays bare the motive and the deed,
And carrion makes from fower-seed.

Lilies of purity and trust
Battens on sins of king or slave,
And fouls with slime a new-made grave.

COL. RECTOR'S SPEECH
TRIES DAVIS ON CHARGE Or I'M
COMPETENCY
And lnsincerity, and the Audience as
Jury Found the Governor
Guilty.

Hon. E. w. Rector spoke to an ap-
preciative audience Wednesday after
noon for about an hour and half.
He followed Judge Bourland, who
spoke in the interest of Davis cam
didacy
+ Mr. Rector was given an ovation as
he rose to speak. From the demon
lstratons made throughout his address
it was clearly Rector audience.
He spoke hurriedly. but his address
was delivered in a graceful and easy
manner, and was admired by even Jeff
| Davis most ardent supporters.
Mr.. Rector launched into his speech
duced by him during his service in the
general assembly Of the state, and eX-
patiated on several of them.
He charged that Davis was either
incompetent or insincere. He asked
the audience to become the jury and
introduce the proof If the audience
did not find him guilty in either in
stance he did not want vote in JEFF
ferson county. Then the prosecution
began, and when he had presented to
the audience Davis record as attor-
ney general and governor, the audi
ence, by its vocferous cheering evil
IDENTITY found Davis guilty as charged.
He turned a igurative X-ray ma
chine on Davis, SO that the audience
could see him in the. proper light He
showed clearly Davis to be a dema-
gogue and a man not to be entrusted
! with the duties of chief executive of
4 the state.
His speech was lucid and powerful
presentation of Davis hypocrisy and
unworthiness, and a more apprecia-
tive audience has seldom been seen
in the courthouse
The speech was made too late for
/ the Graphic to handle it in detail on
the afternoon it was made, and the
various charges which Mr.. Rector
makes against Davis have been print
ed heretofore in the Graphic. as we'll
as the platform of Mr.. Rector himself
hence not great deal new could be
said, except that for his speech to be
he fully appreciated it must be heard.

Mrs. MOrtensOn's Marriages.

A Spokane paper of a week or
so ago contained a strange ac-
count of matrimonial difficulties
of one Minnie Lange, who claims
she was married in this city in
1892. The Spokesman Review
gives the following account of
Minnie and her marriages:
A brief history of Minnie and
her matrimonial troubles follows:
In March, 1892, Minnie became
the wife of Robert Lange. The
ceremony was performed at Mil
bank, S. d., and seems to have
been the real thing, as the couple
lived togeather until 1897. Then,
so Robert Lange alleged, his
wife deserted him. Lange came
west and on the Goth of April
last year was granted a divorce
on the grounds of desertion.
The woman did not appear at the
trial and decree was entered by
default.
On the 2Sth Of October last
Minnie and Jens Mortensen ap-
peared before Justice Hinkle
with marriage certificate.
Everything appeared regular
and the ceremony was performed.
In the early summer Of the
present year Justice Hinkle was
visited by Mrs. Mortenson; who
declared that she believed she
was not legally married to Nor
tenson. She explained by call
ing attent ton to the fact that the
decree of divorce obtained by
Robert Lange was not fled until
July %, 1901, hence she had been
married before the six months
limit decreed by law had expired.
Justice Hinkle turned the wo-
man over to Prosecuting Attor-
ney Kimball. That worthy OBJ.
served that the best way out of
the difficulty was to haYe the
ceremony performed over again.
But not for Mrs. Nor tenson.
She coyly announced that she
wanted to be free of Mortenson
and marry another man. Then
the prosecuting attorney threw
up his hands and quit.
But the undaunted Minnie Sc
cured lawyer and started in to
break link in the matrimonial
chain. She set forth the facts
of the marriage, divorce and Sec
ond marriage too soon. Last
Tuesday Judge Belt signed a de-
cree annuiing the marriage with
Jens Mortenson and giving the
woman her recent name of Min
ME Lange.
Then it was supposed that
Minnie would play out the string
and bring forward the unknown
new sweetheart. But instead
she showed up with Mr.. Nor
tenson and Justice Hinkle oblig-
ingly married the couple for the
second time within year and
gave them a fatherly blessing.

Barn Burned.

A barn at the home of William
Dallman was discovered on fire
yesterday morning about II
o'clock. A strong south wind
was blowing at the time, and the
fire was in danger of spreading
to buildings to the north. A
bucket brigade did good service
in helping to protect an adjoin-
ing barn belonging to Wallace
Leavitt until a stream could be
gotten from the hose, which was
placed On the hydrant at the
Methodist church. The fire
was checked, but not until the
barn was destroyed. A COW
belonging to Mr.. Dallman, which
was in the barn, was badly
burned.
The burned building was
valued at 5000, and was insured
for $50. It is not known how
the fre started.

Home From LuZOn

, Herman Crowl, who has been
for the past three or four years
in Uncle Sans military service,
came home from the Philippines
last week. Mr.. Crowl immed-
lately on his enlistment in the
spring of 1899, was sent with his
regiment, the 3rd in nfantry, to
Manila, and was with Lawton on
his northern campaign, when the
general was shot. Since the
pacification of the islands the
3rd infantry had been stationed
at San Miguel, where Herman
was post sargent, and where mil.
itary duties were comparatively
light, but it was here, after the
active campaigning was over,
that he took the fever but a short
time before his term of service
bad expired. Until then he
had enjoyed excellent health,
but this SO weakened him
that he long ged to get back to the
bracing climate of South Dakota.
He arrived in California last
month, but in the climate of that
state he could not seem to recu-
perate any more than he could
in the Philippines, and not until
he' commenced to drink in the
the ozone of South Dakota did he
begin to feel like himself again.
Mr.. Crowl says while in a way
he enjoyed his military exper-
ience, and had been promoted to
the office of sergeant, he has had
enough soldering. Like others
he says the islands where he has
been are immensely rich in nat
ural resources, and present
great possibilities for young men,
but the great disadvantage is the
tropical climate, which is ener-
waiting to the northern man.
