 Certain literary statisticians, says McClure's, have been computing that Conan Doyle would be the most richly rewarded author in history had all his works been paid at the record rate quoted for his new Sherlock Holmes" stories, $1 per word. Up to and not including 'gThe Hound of the Bas- kervilles," and not counting in ''The Adventures of Gerard" which is now running serially, his takings would have come to about million and a half dollars But Dr Doyle, or Sir A. Conan Doyle, to give him the title which he does not care to have used in America, has not always received $1 a word. or even the hllndredth part of that. There is an interesting letter in the possession of an American publish CT embodying a proposition from the creator of Sherlock Holmes" for a contract on the basis of cent and a half per word, but the most interesting feature is that the contract was de clined.

A small quantity of radium salts in the Curie laboratory, where this won derful substance was discovered, was sufficient to render the walls, the in- struments, the very air, radioactive, says a writer in Everybody's Maga- zine. That is, the walls, the instru- ments, the air, gave off radiations of their own merely because radium was or had been present. Imagine the gain to mankind when a process is evolved for making those radiations luminous. Ordinary gas or electric light would no longer be necessary. There would no longer be dark corners in the world. Everything that had felt the influence of the radium would shine, and, since the energy of the salt is we'll nigh per petual, there would never be any need of renewing the lighting contract.

CIVIL WAR. SOLDIERS STILL.

Seyenty-five Volunteers of 162 Who
 Have Never Been Mustered Out. York, Pa. Sept 3.-York is probably the only city in the United States that can boast of having soldiers of the civil war still in service
 Tn 1862 seven companies were formed here, mustered into the service of the state and assigned to the duty of guarding railway property in York county. They were stationed along the Northern Central railway between the village of Seven Valley and the Maryland line.
 When rumors of confederate inva- sion would reach the border counties, the young guards would be ordered out to protect the railway property. When the rumors died out they would be permitted to return to their homes in this city.
 The companies were not designated by -lcsAers or titles and were not at tached to any regiment Because Of this, or perhaps because of the neglect of the military authorities, the com panies were never mustered out of ser vice and discharges were not issued to the men so that legally the seventy five survivors. most Of whom still live in this city, are still in the service of the state.
 William Warmer, a member of one of the companies. thinks that the sur vivors ought to have honorable dis charges from the state. and, through State Senator B. K. McConkey. he will petition the legislature in behalf of his surviving comrades. Previous at tem74ts have been made by members of these companies to gain honorable discharges. but no legislative /action has ever been taken on the matter.
 To expedite action upon their peti- tion,~ MT Warmer has suggested that the seventy-f1ve survivors. when they apply for discharges. also put in claims for pay for the forty-one years they have been in service. Each mans claim against the state would amount to S6.393. making the aggregate claims $479.475.
 The seven companies performed their last active service just prior to tho burning of Chamhersburg by the confederate forces. They were then diSbanded and many of their members enlisted in other companies which saw hard service at the front.

JUST LIKE A GIRL.
An Excursion and a Horse Who Ans

An Excursion and Horse Who Ans
 wered to the Name of, Jim.
 Two girls once went on driving trip with very pleasant livery horse named Jim. The third day out they stopped for lunch and to rest the horse at an inn, the stable of which was crowded with the horses of country people who had driven into fair that was going on in the village. These various animals. a somewhat intoxi- cated stable boy managed to mix up and when asked to harness Jim again, he had to admit that he was uncertain as to which horse belonged to the young ladies' "Why. of course," they cried, ''we'd know Jim anywhere; a brown horse with white nose." Tax en to the stable they found themselves confronted with innumerable brown horses, all of whose noses were white. Horses look terribly alike with their harness off," confessed the girls. ''but," brightening, tour horse knows his name, Jim! Jim! At the sound ono of the brown beasts stretched out his neck and neighed intelligently. That's he,'' cried the girls; good old Jim knows us, even if we don't know him. DGSluCS HOW WE sIOOA dL gA1AA ClOSC1y [, we recognize his expression" Well" said tke proprietor, If you're sure it's your horse"
 The girls drove off and finished their tour successfully, though once or twice Jim gave evidence of mannerisms that they had not remarked before. "And how did Jim suit you,' asked the liv- ery-stable keeper, from whom they had hired the rig, when they fiiNlly drove back into his yard. .'Nice horse, Jim, best I have in the stable. But in the name of mercy" in voice of conster- nation, whats that you have between the shafts?' "Why, isn't that Jim," faltered the girls. "Jim,'' cried the livery-keeper, furiously; that broken down beast Jim? Not by jugful it isn't" And so it proved to the detri- ment of the girls purses. For Jim was never recovered.-Everybody's Magazine.

rHURsDAY, sRPrRMBBR 3, 1908.

The goodygood city of Hartford, which lectured Waterbury so thorough ly about riots and mobs, had a little trouble in that direction the other night. All the affair needed was 8 leader. The crowd objected to Officer Manoy doing his duty. He was hemmed in and had to escape through the rear entrance Of a fruit store. If the mob spirit once gets into 8 crowd it is going to show itself whether in Hartford, Waterbury, Bridgeport, or any other city. How to handle such a crowd after once 1t forms and how to prevent its formation is one of the per picking questions of the hour.

"Back to Nature."

civilization a good thingp" Yes, but
civilization has its perils. 1t is a
great mistake to suppose that luxuries

Ex-Speaker Reed.

In the long columns in all our news
papers relating TO the recent death OF
ex-Speaker Reed, we have seen no
mention OF how, some years ago, on
his way to the Capitol he stopped the
abuse OF a colored driver to a miserable
horse struggling up hill, compelling
the driver to throw off half his load.
1t was little thing, some will say,
but perhaps in the day OF judgement
when we stand before the bar of In
finite Justice to answer for deeds done
in the body, it may count more to his
credit than II he had caused the deaths
of ten thousand horses and men in
Cuba or two hundred thousand in the

the Christian world is not as to the
historic Jesus, whether the Gospels
ascribe to him Divinity, or agree or
disagree In regard to bis character,
but whether the Gospels themselves
are to be treated as historically indis-

fallible, or are to be viewed as merely
human documents OF doubtful author

Were starving working people to
make a raid upon bakeries and confis-
cate bread, they would be sent 10 jail
if few in numbers, or shot down by the
militia if an otherwise resistless mob.
This is not guess; it is statement
of historical fact. And preachers,
lawyers, bankers, and other good peo-
pie wonld commend the arrests, and
while deploring the necessity would
approve the slaughter. But when
mob led by preachers and bankers in
want of coal makes a raid upon a train
of coal cars and confiscates the cargo,
the leading Republican paper of the
west, the Chicago Tribune, heretofore
an organ of claw and order" makes
this mild comment: 'sWhen the lead
ing men in a town-its bankers, mer-
chants, lawyers and doctors-lay vio-
lent hands on coal which does not be-
long to them it is evident they are In
sore need OF coal. The
action of the good citizens of Arcola
was clearly illegal. No one has a
right to help himself to the property
of another without obtaining the con-
sent of the owner But 'self-preser-
walton is the first law OF nature II
the state of affairs at Arcola has been
as bad as the dispatches report, 1t ia
not to be wondered at that the people
should take advantage OF the oppor'
tune breakdown of coal train.
Which goes far to show that sterr
enforcement OF the law is not fol
"bankers, merchants, lawyers ant
doctors' (nor even for preachers), who
defy it when they are in "sore need o
coal;" but only for the clover classes,
when they are in sore enough need t.
forget that even though "self-preser
walton is the first law Of nature,

A wholesome verdict by Michigan
jury at Jackson, on the 18th, rendered
under the influence of sound legal in
structions from the judge presiding at
the trial, emphasizes an almost for
gotten but vital right of American
citizenship, the right, namely, of ex-
emption from arbitrary arrest. The
defendant had refused submission TO
an arrest by officers without warrant,
and in defending himself against the
lawless proceeding had shot and killed
one of the arresting party. He was
consequently indicted and tried for
manslaughter. The judge charged
the jury that the defendant had right
to use all necessary force to protect
himself from the unwarranted arrest,
and upon that explanation Of the law
the jury acquitted the prisoner. 1t is
to be hoped that this just charge and
righteous verdict may serve as salu'
tary lesson to disorderly policemen
everyw here. e.-The Public.

He had no automobile in which TO go

up his muscles. He had no telephone

carried it. Our immediate ancestors
had fewer labor-saving devices than
we. Inheriting strength from their
ancestors, who had still fewer ac-
commodations, our forbears gave to
this generation physical capital upon
