"GENTLY DOES 1T"

No Unqualified Demand Yet Made Of
Turkey.
Washington, March SIT is learned at
the state department that the attitude of
Mr.. Leishman, United States minister to
Turkey, Is likely to be misunderstood
owing to the brevity of the cable report
that he has preferred demand upon Tur-
key in the case of Miss Stone. The un-
derstanding here is that any action that
Mr.. Leisbman may have taken is in the
line of saving all future rights rather
than the submission Of an unqualified de-
mand for the punishment of the brigands
and repayment of the ransom. The same
sort Of caveat either has been or will
be filed with the Bulgarian government

Court to Crack.
An interesting legal question came up In
the police court this morning in the case OF
S. w. Rypkema, a charge Of embezzle-
ment. The complainant, G. henderson, agent
for certain typewriter. says that he sold
Rypkema machine last month on time pay
ments and forwarded the typewriter to Hinck-
ley. Rypkema, he says, tried to pawn the
machine in Minneapolis; but the pawnbroker
was suspicious and notified the agent. The
legal point was as to who was the lawful
owner, as the Minneapolis agent had not for
warded the contract with Rypkema to the
home office. Things were somewhat involved,
and the defendant asked that time be given
him to get a lawyer. and the case was con-
tinued until Friday. ~

EDEN AT THE NORTH POLE.
Scandinavian scientist Says ParadIes

Scandinavian Scientist Says ParadIes
Was Located There.
NJ Torwald Koehl. a Scandinavian
scientist, now comes forward and says
the Garden of Eden was located at the
north pole. Koehl is an astronomer.
and 1t is astronomical reasons which
convince him that he has at last arriv-
ed at the truth on this point. He SIM
ply claims that when Adam and Eve
were living the stars did not ascend
into the sky at twilight nor descend
at the first approach of dawn, but that
they moved eternally in a circle above
the horizon. There are numerous ira
ditions, he says, which prove that the
face of the heavens was at that time
as he describes it, and he adds that
after many months of close ipvestiga-
ton he has been unable to find any
thing which is opposed to this view
OF tie case.
In the entire world. however. there
are only two points where such 7 re-
nomenon occurs, namely. at the north
pole and at the south pole, and the
next question to be answered was, at
which of these two poles was the Gar
den of Eden located? The learned
Scandinavian solves this problem
easily. Ancient traditions, n. says,
tell us that our first parents. when
they departed from Eden, emigrated
toward the south, and as 1t would have
been impossible for them to go very
far in that direction II the Garden of
Eden had been located at the south
nn1n ha InCina1 rnnr1teinn 10
that it was situated at the north pole.
This novel theory is attracting much
attention among scientists and Bibii-
cal students. Some are inclined to ac-
cept it unreservedly, but others hesi-
tate. and hint that they would like to
know something more about the an
cient traditions" to which koehl refers
SO frequently.

FROM Georges Weekly.

Some one who is very much inter-

PAYERS sends US the following letter:
Dear Mr.. George:-I have plan
for utilizing the penitentiary and saw
ing the people the expense OF ses
sions of the Legislature. 1 have sub
mitted my plan to Bill Stapleton Of
the Republican and your friend,
Hi Hi, of the Post, and both of them
have turned 1t down. 1 have not yet
heard from the News and Times, but
for fear that my plan will suffer the
same fate with them, herewith sub
init it to you. Here is the plan;
We are supporting between five
and six hundred convicts in the peni-
tentiary in order to please the labor
union. Why not ask the present
session of the legislature to amend
the constitution so as to enable the
convlcts in the penitentiary to act as
Legislators. l presume you will
grasp the beauties of this plan at
once. You will concede, no doubt,
there are a better class of men in the
penitentiary than in the legislature,
and that they possess higher order
of intelligence. The state has to
keep up the penitentiary, why not
let these convicts spend their time
making laws for our state instead of
putting the people to the tremen
dous expense of calling Legislatures
together that have to indulge in ex-
ira sessions in order to remedy their
mistakes. If the convicts were asked
to perform this duty for the people
on the plan of the initiative and re-
ferendum, the people would get
better class of laws than they are
now getting and for one, 1 am heart
lily in favor of trying the experiment.
1 wish you would place this plan be-
fore your readers and get an express
sion of the people as to the practi-
cability of the idea. With best
wishes, l beg to remain, yours very
truly, xxx.
Georges Weekly takes pleasure in
placing the above scheme before its
readers and is inclined to believe
that it is decidedly the best plan to
do away with the legislature nuis-
ance that has yet been proposed, and
we fully agree with the writer of the
letter that the inhabitants of the
Canon City penitentiary are decided
ly more intelligent and know more
about laws than the class OF cattle
we are now sending to the legisla-
ture.
