HeedIessness,

Heedlessness may not be one Of the
seven deadly sins, but could the perpe-
traitor oftener witness the result Of his
act a whole list of casualties would be-
come obsolete. 4 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."-Youth's Companion.

IMPROVED ON NATURE,
A Point That Won a Lawsuit For
William mckinley.

William mckinley, s.
A year. or two after William Mckln-
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
" for the sake Of the joke, but for seri-
GUS purpose. Mr.. Edward T. Roe in
.aThe Life Work of William Mckinley
tells the story.
The case was a suit against q 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 brill
liant lawyers of the Ohio bar.
Insolvency. brought his client into
court and had him expose the injured
limb to the jury. It was very crooked,
and the case looked bad for the ur-
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
OSei " ILL ne ludt LIE OlueE ASS
should also be barred. The plaintiff and
Insolvency. objected vigorously, but
the judge ordered it done. Then it APP
peared that his second leg was still
more crooked than that which the sur
geon had set.
"My client seems to have done better
by this man than nature itself did,"
said Mckinley, "andI 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"

The question of whether or not
Governor White would violate his oath,
in accepting the United States sena-
torship in case it was offered him Is
creating some comment-seemingly
more than the other and more import
ant feature of whether he is actually
n candidate or not. Deputy Clerk Of
the Court Taylor of Grand Forks is a
recent contributor on this subject. In
part he says:
There is nothing in the state or the
national constitution that can in m
way, shape @or keep Frank
White from being inaugurated COVER
nor of this state on January 1, and ac-
cepting the United States senatorship
should it be offered to him, after he
has been in%augurated. The law re-
ferred to in several newspapers in the
state applies only to state offices. For
Instance: Should MI. White be in
a%rgurated as, governor, and a new Office
be incorporated within the state for
state purposes. and the new governor
be an aspirant for the position. he
would be violating his duties and his
cath, but the present situation has sew
eral parallels. Knute Nelson was
elected United States senator when he
was governor of Minnesota; David Hill
was elected senator from New York
when he was governor of New York.
1T is a matter that does not really come
under the state constitution under the
circumstances. It is a matter that is
subject to the dictates of the national
constitution entirely, and there is moth
ing in the national constitution that
4 keep White from making the run
for the United States senate after he
has been inaugurated governor of the
state for the second time. 1 do not
want you to think from this that I am
expressing myself for or against White.
I am just simply giving my opinion on
the case, and I won't charge you q
cent for it, either. and l don't smoke
either. thanks"

THE NJ or DESPAIR.
Tint Awful Great Basin Between the
Rockies and the Sierras.

Tint 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 I found IN the so
called Great basin between the Rock
les and the Sierras. 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 u narrow strip of arid plain
shut in between two mighty mountain
walls, the peaks stretching up 10000
feet into a burning sky. The surface
Of this plain. which is 175 feet below
sea level, is a mere crust of salt and
alkali, through which a 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 a very scanty sagebrush, with
leaves that are not green, but gray, and
here and there a sort of cactus that
grows to i've 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, when 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.-lSatur.
