a STORY OF CESAR.
The Quality of Mercy nv Exercised
hN tie Grent ROmnn.

Cesar Travelled with the retinue of q
man of rank, and on his way to
Rhodes he fell in with an adventure
which may be something more than
legend. When he was crossing the
Egcan. his vessel is said to have been
taken by pirates. They carried him
to PhaTmacuSa, an island off the Ca
rian coast, which was then in their pos,
session, and there he was detained for
six weeks with three of his attendants,
while the rest of his servants were
sent to the nearest Roman station to
raise his ransom.
The pirates treated him with polite
ness. He joined in their sports, played
games with them, looked into their
habits and amused himself with them
as well as he could, frankly telling
them at the same time that they would
be hanged.
The ransom, very large one, about
E10,0OO, was brought and paid. Caesar
was set upon the mainland, near Mi
letus, where, without a moments
delay, he collected some armed vessels,
returned to the island, seized the
whole crew while they were dividing
their plunder, and took them away to
Pergamus the seat of government in
the Asiatic province, where they We're
convicted and crucitied. Clemency was
not n Roman characteristic. 1t was
therefore noted with some surprise
that Caesar interccded to mitigate the
severity of the punishment. The poor
wretches were strangled before they
were stretched on their crosses and
Were spared the prolongation of their
torture.--James Anthony FrOude.

y curious and not uncommon effect
Of lightning is the formation of certain
arborcscent or trcelikc marks upon the
body. BY early observers they We're
believed to be due to the presence of
rcishboIing objects, which were pho
tographed upon the skin. Various eX-
plantations We're offered by different au-
thoritics. Richardson has shown by eX-
pertinent that the blood is the best cleo
trical conductor of all human tissues
and that these marks are merely the
impressions Of the blood vessels on the
skin, due to the action of the lightning
on the blood in the cssels.-Exchange

Take Care of the Stomach.

The man or woman whose digestion is
perfect and whose stomach performs its
every function is never sick. Kodol
cleanses, purifes and sweetens the stomach
and cures positively and permanently all
stomach troubles, indigo stion and dyspep-
sia. 1t is the wonderful reconstructive
tonic that is making so many sick people
well and weak people strong by conveying
to their bodies all Of the nourishment in
the food they eat. Rev. j. II. Holladay,

Dear Sir: Porterhouse, so much;
neck, so much; all the way between.
Just so with paint. Devoe lead and
zinc is porterhouse. Nobody wants
the neck; the between, some say, is good
enough for them.
But Devoe costs less, not more, than
between. Lead and oil is between; it is
the old-fashion paint. But zinc has
come in. Zinc toughens white lead.
Devoe lead and zinc is the paint.

Fear.

Fear causes more disease than do
microbes, more deaths than famine
more failures than panics; it costs
more than war, is always Il failure and
is never necessary. Fear weakens the
hearts action, induces congestion, in
vites Indigestion, produces poison
through decomposing foods and is thus
the mother of autopoisoning, which Ell
ther directly causes or greatly aids in
the production of quite 90 per cent of
all our diseasas.-G. +. Meacham, NJ.

Mr.. D. p. Daugherty, well known
throughout Mercer and Sumner counties,
W. Va, most likely owes his life to the
kindness of neighbor. He was almost
hopelessly afflicted with diarrhoea; was
attended by two physicians who gave him
little, if any, relief, when a neighbor
learning Of his serious condition, brought
him a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which
cured him in less than twenty-four hours

The Labor Problem.

The workingmen know the ad-
vantage of present industrial oppor-
tunities, and whatever may be the
differences on matters of wages or
the relations between labor and
capital in determiningan equitable
ratio of the products of labor and
the proceeds of capital, the men
whose capital is labor, know very
well that this is an economic and
not political question, and that
they have nothing to expect from
party which has been laboring we
might say from the beginning Of the
Government, certainly from the be-
ginning of economical legislation,
to destroy the wage.earning..chances
of our people by opening our
markets to the manufactures of the
pauper paid labor of England and
the continent of Europe, by. means
Of free trade.
Look at the conditions as we find
them by official reports. 1t is
shown that inbPennsylvania alone
there are over a half million more
persons at work at this moment
than at the close of the last Demo-
cratic administration. AT S1.5O a
day (the wages will average higher)
we have S750,000..a dayEearned
more than when these would be
trust exterminators were voted out
of control by the people. The
voters of Pennsylvania by = these
official figures now enjoy earnings
of over two hundred and a quarter
millions more ini Republican 1902
than they did in Democratic 1896.
The labor problem is one of the
questions growing out of labor con-
ditions brought about blythe mar
Velous expansion Of our national
industrial energy to meet the re-
quirements of the enormously en-
larged markets for our manufacture
ed products.
If we look back over our nation
al history we find great problems
have had their day and the Ameri-
canpeople have settled them wisely.
The questions of organized capi-
tai as well as of organized labor
must be met and met intelligently
and 50 they will be by the Republi-
can party in control and by no
other means.
1t is safe to say that Pennsylva-
MIA will set the pace Of Republican
ascendancy not only in an off-year
campaign but in the national contest
Of 1904 which will be the most
momentous in our national history
for the reason that as a supreme
world power we shall have ques-
tions of commerce and industry of
worldwide significance to meet.

Problem in Bal. P,svino.e

There is curious thing about
baseball playing and one that suggests
a rather singular problem" said a man
VINO mas pent; some time on the dia-
mona, and that is, the man who
catches a bali, no matter what his DO
sition as player. never sees the ball at
the exact time when it passes into his
hands. He can no more see the bali
than he can see the air around 1t. From,
my own experience l would say, in the.
case of fly that the ball is not seen
by, the fielder after it gets within fif-
teen feet Of the ground. Then how
does he manage to catch it? How is it
that his hands find the ball? That is
exactly what l want to know. The
hands manage to find the ball in some
way. 1t is natural sort of thing.
THE fact is that if the player should
happen to try to keep his eyes on the
ball until it slipped into his hands he
would muff it nine times out of ten. /
have tried the experiment in practice
ing, and found that the undertaking
was so unnatural and hence so awk-
ward that l simply could not find the
ball and would muff. The hands seem
to resent this interference on the part
of the eyes. If you don't believe what
say. make a little experiment Of your
own by pitching something up and
catching it. Try to keep your eyes on
the object until it passes into your
hands and see how much trouble you
have: 1t is a rather singular fact, nut
it is a fact nevertheless."-New Or
