' UCKT LAUDANO.

That is if 1t is lucky to be allowed to die a natural death in prison instead of being hanged there. The Board of Par dons yesterday commuted Laudano s sentence to Imprisonment for life. He mas had able and persistent counsel, and he and they have reason to be pleased with the success of their efforts. It has not yet been established that the dead policeman shot himself, and just what has been established in regard to Laudano's part in the affair is not quite clear. But he has had the benefit of whatever has been established, or made doubtful, and his life has been saved. It is said that he hears voices The voice that told him of his escape was doubtless as pleasant and encouraging as any of the voices he has heard

FEEDING THE SHIP OF THE DES-
 ERT"

We ought really to love the camel but we can't. He is an animal that ren- ders love impossible. He seems to be born to suffer, and to die unreasonbly ures even are dreary. He is never so happy as when rending dusty leaves and prickly thorns from miserable bushes that an animal of any self-re- spect whould pass by in scorn. This latter taste, however, renders him ex- ceedingly valuable as means of trans
 port in any arid country where there is scrub jungle, as through this perverted taste he will not only live, but thrive, where another animal would die When the country is so desolate, as in parts of Afghanistan, as not to provide the food that the 'oont" loves, it is with the greatest difficulty that he can be per- suaded to eat barley. chopped straw, or even good nourishing grass. He has to have fore leg tied, his mouth prised open, and the food chucked in, aftsr which operation his mouth is firm- ly held closed. t Il with many complaints and groans he is obliged to swallow the unaccustomed food It takes a day or two of this process before he will eat good food voluntarily. The camel needs daily water nearly as much as any other animal, but he will do with less for his bulk in proportion to others. Those who have worked with camels know well that the old theory that the ship of the desert' would go for days and days without water is absurd. Most animals can live long time without water; the camel's way of objecting to drought is to chuck himself down, dou- ble back his head to touch his hump and die.--Navy and Army.

LOFT, CL0THES AND CONSCIENCE

Truth is stranger than fiction and nowhere is it stranger than in Kansas And frequently a beautiful young wo- man is mixed up with stranger truth. It is so in Kansas, where beautiful young woman is a constant visitor at
 the State reformat tory, which is situa-
 ted at Hutchinson. She goes there to
 see her husband, young man who was
 sentenced to the institution after con-
 viction on the charge of grand larceny.
 The woman planes herself for the pre-
 dicament of her husband, and is doing
 her best to make his prison life beara
 ble. It appears that some time after
 the young couple were married the wife
 wanted silk skirt, and at the time the young mans pocketbook was at low ebb. He wanted to please his wife. He went to dry goods store to find the cost of silk garments and soon found his wife were even more expensive than he had supposed. The further out of reach they were, however, the greater his desire to possess them. The result was that when the opportunity present. ed itself he carried some expensive gar ments from the store. He was success full in getting out without being detect ed at the time, and he returned home thief. A few weeks later the matter was traced home and he was arrested, convicted and sentenced to the reform atory. The wife feels that she is more than little to blame and is taking her share of the consequences.
 Perhaps the beautiful young woman is cured of wanting clothes that her husband can't afford to buy for her. And perhaps when he comes out he will be cured of stealing for love.

OON0UERTNG IND TO C0NOrER.

J. Pierpont Morgan's rest seems to consist of conquering more worlds. He is in Europe resting, and almost every day brings tidings of his big doings. A steamship combination, and now comes the news that he will finance" to the extent of several millions, new under ground railroad system in London, which will rival Charles T, Yerkes' scheme of obtaining possession of all the intermural transportation. Com bined with the Morgans are the Sic mems Brothers and other large British
 interests. The promoters expect they will meet with but little difficulty in getting the permission of the House of Lords committee for the construction of their lines A decision is expected to be reached within a week, whereupon the Morgans will immediately begin the work of financing the concern and con- structing the roads. The importance of the scheme consists chiefly in the anal gamation, effected at the end of last week, under the Morgans' auspices, of the various projected tubes which when constructed will extend forty miles in continuous line north and to the west and southwest of the metropolis. These lines, in turn, will connect with ninety miles of surface roads. the London United Electric Tramways being also members of the new syndicate.
 If Morgan lives a few years longer Alexander and Napoleon will look small. And it is interesting to wonder what the career of such man will be when he gets this world combined" or merged and has to leave it and go to "the next world

The Iiune saver.

A ruddy youth in haste went to q modern
 telephone To send little message to the girl he
 called his own. He sat him down beside 1t with the re-
 ceiyer to his ear And started in to listen to the jabber he
 could hear. He hoped that Central" might awake and
 murmur Number, please But all that heauteous nope of his went
 glimmering by degrees The crows feet came and camped beside
 his erstwhie brilliant eye; His hair fell out and threatened him with
 badness by and by; His cheek changed color, and Its down De-
 came bristng beard; Yet never once that Number, please, his
 hungry eardrum cheered. He was, withal, Il plucky man, made out
 of splendid stuff, And when he started into things he seldom
 said "Enough"' When he had reached his middle age" a
 voice he once had known Called "Number!'' and he eagerly cried,
 Green S021!' Some ten years later he could hear gen

 don't chance to be at home. Yet still the bearded man clung to that in- : strument that's meant To save folks time and trouble when

HOSPITALITY IN MEXICO.

To throw the house out of the Win- dow" which translated into our Eng fish vernacular, is ito turn things loose" is the Mexican way of treating a guest. You can't do too much for the friend within your gates. You and yours are at his disposition. And if you stay a week, you must be "accompan- ied' all the time you aren't asleep. This is Moorish and Arabian. and the Span iards brought the custom over here.
 To be the "servidor' or servant of 8 friend means real servitude; to be with him and at his orders. It is sometimes most embarrassing: one would like to feel that one was not givng so much trouble. But your host is smiling. he shows no weariness, he is delighted to

W.4NT TO RE MILITARY MEN.

According to the chief recruiting of ficer of the War department, there is no lack of men who are willing to be
 flood for powder" Of course it isn' t
 put in exactly that way by the recruit ing officers or by the men. The love of adventure. a wish to see something of no work, are some of the motives which influence men to enlist and the talk is greatest difficulty of the recruiting of ficers is to keep them out. In their anxiety to get in they will resort to all sorts of tricks to overcome the legal and other obstacles in the way. There are many cases of boys of r, IS and 20 making false declarations as to their ages, and they even go so far as to bring in fake parents to give their con- sent to enlistments. The average re- jections are seven for each acceptance, and this is cited as indicating how plentiful good men are. The average for years was about one acceptance for every four applicants. The abundance of material enables the recruiting off cers to pick out fine specimens for ser i vice, and they are getting some excel lent men.

The Girls Letter Guild is an Engligh organization whose popularity is rap idly increasing and whose influence is excellent The idea is to bring illiter- ate and untrained working girls into touch with the women of refinement through correspondence. Each member of the guild contributes a nominal amount yearly and agrees to write long friendly letter every month to any girl who may be allotted to her. Much good is being accomplished this way, for the guild member takes an interest in the girls work, her amusements, hopes and ambitions, and advises her in these matters.

In the town of Inez, Kentucky, Mrs Jennie Crisp had a husband Bailey Crisp, to whom she was married over forty years ago. They lived together only a few months when Bailey disap- peared. He was not heard of until af- ter the civil war, when it was ascer- tained that he had married again with out a divorce. His disconsolate widow, also without a divorce, married John Hammonds. Crisp had been wounded during the war, and got pension. Af- ter his death, his second wife, so-called who was not legally his wife at all got pension. When Hammonds died Mrs, Hammonds, Crisp's first and only legal wife, had herself declared his wife. and thereupon took the pension away from wife No. 2. Which shows what can be done.

The Mormons are not nearly so bad as they are represented, says Bishop Leonard of Utah, Protestant Episcopa- Han. "The Mormons are good people, do not talk about polygamy much, because I do not know much about it, l will say, however, that on general principles the Mormon people could not be expected to give up the practice all at one stroke. The young people are making the change in sentiment about this practice, and l firmly believe it will right itself in time. It is difficult now in Utah to find young people who are going into it, There is much talk about the Mormons spreading out and preaching their doctrines in other states Why shouldn't they?"

The document was dated at noon of that day and at the moment when it was be- ing signed the saloon caught fire and was burned up. Now, when it is 12 o'clock local time at Akron it is 11;27 o'clock standard time. The Supreme court has just decided that noon means the time when the sun passes the cal time, so the saloonkeeper wins his suit for the insurance money.
