A Surprised Ohioan.

An American who has been travelling
in Japan says the japanese have a word
of salutation which sounds like Ohio
When he was in Yokohama, a fellow
countryman was seeing the sights from
a rickshaw. The japanese are very po-
lite, and when even the American met
them they gave him the usual word of
greeting. At first he wasn't quite GER
tain, but as party after party bowed
profoundly and said 'Ohio" he became
convinced that they were uttering the
name of his own state, and he was a
badly puzzled occidental. Finally, on
passing a group of a dozen or more,
who were more than usually courteous
and who vociferated the word of vel
come, he couldn't repress his astonish-
ment any further. YES" he said, 81
am from Ohio and from Jefferson coun-
ty, but how did you fellows get on to
the fact?"

IMPROVED ON NATURE.
A Point That Won a Lawsuit For
william Mckinley.

A Point That Won a Lawsuit For
William Mckinley.
A year or two after William McKin-
ley had begun the practice of the law
at Canton, O., he distinguished himself
in a humorous fashion in one of his
first successful cases. AS often hap
pens in court, the humor was not mere
ly for the sake of the joke, but for seri-
Gus purpose Mr.. Edward I. Roe in
THE Life Work of William Mckinley"
tells the story
The case was a suit against a sur
geon, whom the plaintiff charged with
having set his leg so badly that it was
bowed. Mckinley defended the sur
geon and found himself pitted against
John McSWeeney, one of the most bril-
liant lawyers of the Ohio bar.
insolvency brought his client into
court and had him expose the injured
limb to the jury. 1t was very crooked,
and the case looked bad for the sur
geon. But Mckinley had both his eyes
open, as usual, and fixed them keenly
on the other mans leg.
As soon as the plaintiff was turned
over to him he asked that the other leg
should also be barred. The plaintiff and
insolvency objected vigorously, but
the judge ordered it done. Then it ap-
peared that his second leg was still
more crooked than that which the sur
geon had set
"AIy client seems to have done better
by this man than nature itself did"
said Mckinley, "and move that the
suit be dismissed, with a recommends
ton to the plaintiff that he have the
other leg broken and then set by the
surgeon who set the first one"

HPRdIRasneSa.

Heedlessness may not be one of the
seven deadly sins, bqt could the perpe-
traitor oftener witness the result of his
act a whole list of casualties would be-
come obsolete. A little Italian boy,
lightly clad, was recently helping to
sort out bottles from a city dump heap.
In trying to remove a stopper from a
condensed milk jar he accidentally
broke the glass, and a powerful acid
poured down his side. The child fell
screaming to the ground, terribly burn
ed. He will be crippled for life. The
person who, after finishing some eXper-
iment or process, corked the cupful Of
innocent looking acid in the bottle and
threw it into the ash barrel didn't
think. youths Companion

The Roorbach.

Over fifty years ago a writer of mon
umental but plausible lies in Thurlow
Weeds Albany Evening Journal signed
his letters Baron Roorbach." There
was no such baron. There was no man
named "Roorbach." But the absolute
falsity of the writer's statements was
such that 'roorbach" became a syno-
nym for any kind of lie, especially for
the kind against personal character
suddenly issued against a man for his
injury when he could not meet it in
time to avert the harm. The lie Of poll
ties, the lie started for political pur-
poses, is the "roorbach" most in use the
week before election.-Brooklyn Eagle.

SAFES FOR THE HOME.
CunningIy Hidden, Even From the
Eyes of Servants.


The clumsy safe which formerly held
the precious stones and documents of
the wealthy has practically been abol-
ished in the homes of those who can
afford to keep abreast of the times in
such matters and in its place have
been introduced curiously wrought
places of concealment which the pro-
fessional burglar would have great
difficulty in finding. A little secrecy
has been found to be worth more than
a foot of chilled steel. The old fash
toned home or office safe is a direct in
yitation to a burglar. He knows that
the diamonds, jewelry and spare cash
and valuable documents are kept there
Otherwise, why have a safe in the
home? There is hardly a man who
does not at some time have considera-
BILE valuables in his home which he
must intrust to his private safe.
The most ingenious method of mod
ern safe builders is to construct a re-
ceptacle for valuables in the walls,
floor or ceilings of the house. The
work is as ingenious as it is effective.
An expert examines the different parts
of a room selected for the purpose and
finally hits upon a place where conceal
ment can be made the most effective.
A square of a couple Of feet or more is
taken out of the plaster, and a chilled
steel safe is made to fit in the hole thus
| made. The inside of the safe is lined
with plush for holding diamonds and
| precious jewels and there are compart-
ments for bills and valuable docu-
ments. When fitted in its niche in the
wall, ceiling or floor, the most ingen-
! iOus part of the contrivanCe is then
made by an expert. The opening of the
safe door is made so carefully that it
| appears as if the side of the wall moves
| outward as if by magic. The spring
which controls the mechanism is often
concealed in the picture molding or
cornice some distance from the safe
itself
To make it doubly sure so that no
one would accidentally touch the spring
and reveal the hidden safe with its
treasures, there is usually a second
| spring. The first one consists chiefly
in removing a small piece of the mold
irg or wooden base of the rim, and this
discloses nothing but a bare surface of
wood. 4 little examination will show,
however, that this wooden surface is
divided into little square lines. One Of
these squares holds the second hidden
spring. By pressing it in a certain way
it will spring open the door of the safe,
located probably half a dozen feet
away. Consequently if workmen or
servants should accidentally knock off
the piece of molding or wooden base
which reveals the second spring the
secret would still be intact.-Philadel-
phia Ledger.

There are experts on the eyes who
hold stoutly to the theory that troubles
in vision often cause serious la2ses
from a well ordered life among chill
dren and that disobedience, i'll temper,
cruelty, wanton destuctiveness and
mysteries are frequently due among
youngsters to alterations and to all
ments which affect the sense of sight
Such a theory may appear TO be car
ried so far as to be almost a fad, yet
there may be something in it.

The DOMAIN OF DESPAIR.
That Awful Great Basin Between the
Rockies and the Sierras.


There are various kinds and degrees
of deserts in this country, but the most
utterly hopeless are found in the so
called Great basin between the Rock
les and the Sielras. This is a vast re-
gion of deserts, with here and there an
area where nature in prankish mood
seems actually to have made an effort
to produce spectacular effects of hor-
ror. From the Wasatch mountains to
the Sierra Nevada extends a CHASTITY
stretch of territory which is intersect-
ed by a series of high mountain ranges
running parallel north and south, with
valleys between.
A birdseye view of the landscape
shows three principal ranges, two Of
which are known as the Amargosa and
Panamint, and between these is Death
valley, so called because it is the very
abode of death.
Imagine q narrow strip of arid plain
shut in between two mighty mountain
walls, the peaks stretching up 10000
feet into a burning sky. The surface
VI lulS pam, W uICn Is TO LGGl UGlOW
sea level, is a mere crust of salt and
alkali, through which ridden horse
breaks up to his knees into a horrid
paste than eats both hair and hide.
A gray haze that never lifts makes
everything indistinct and puzzling to
the view. No vegetation is to be seen
save very scanty sagebrush, with
leaves that are not green, but gray, and
here and there a sort of cactus that
grows to five or six feet in height, with
extended branches. 1t is called the
dead man" because in the night each
stalk looks like a corpse by the way
side.
But the supreme horror of the place
is the heat, which is unspeakable
There is a breeze, but it is so scorching
hot as to blister your face. Streams
flow from springs down toward the
valley, but never reach it, because the
heat dries them up on the way.-Satur-
day Evening Post.
