Mark Twains story about telling lies which
appeared in Hapers Magazine for December,

been read aloud and used as text for a sermon in
A church in Indiana. As the story holds up 20
the light the rooted inconsistency of our attitude
towards truth 1t is not surprising that II should
be used in this way. Mark Twain is apparently
becoming a modern knight. bent on seeking out
all that he views in the light of a sham, and
launching upon it the shafts Of his sturdy ssr-
casm. To the North American Review for Jan

Chautauqua, N. Y, Aug. 13.-Rev.
DR.. Dean Richmond Babbitt, rector of
the Church of the Epiphany, Brooklyn,
answered John Temple Graves OF Geor-
gia in an address at the ChautauQua
assembly on lynchings and mob from
an American standpoint. DR.. Rabbits
address was the chief one of the day
on mobs. He contrasted the view OF
lynching justified by Mr.. Graves with
what he called "the more general and
better view of the American nation
and showed the prevalent a nd in
creasing violence of the my spirit,
it's tendency to leap the color line and
to lynch for minor offences than rape
and murder. He dwelt upon the
psychology of the mob and gave the
Wilmington lynching Of the negro
White as typical and denounced the
officials who refused to protect any
prisoner of any color or for any crime.
He paid a tribute to order and law

CONSPIRACY ALLEGED.
Village Officers of Harlem, Ind, Placed
Under Arrest.

Chicago, Aug. 13.-Henry J. Mohr,
president of the village board OF Har-
lem; Justice. of the Peace Eugene
Mahliot and G. w. Yonkers, an alleged
representative of the Village board,
have been arrested on warrants which
charge conspiracy to defeat the admin
istration of public justice. The war
rants result partly from the action OF
the board in suspending Chief of Police
LANCE, under charges of drunkenness,
after he had begun an active campaign
against the officers Of the Harlem race
track and the bookmakers doing busl-
ness at the Harlem track. Chief Lange
arrested several bookmakers last Fri
day and had prepared to raid the track
again on the following day; when he
was suspended from office.
More warrants will be asked for, 1t
is said, the intention being to demand
the arrest Of all of the members OF the
village board but one.
The warrants were issued by the
states attorney on accusations by
Chief Lange that money was used to
persuade members Of the board to GUST
him from Office.

Kingston, Jamaica, Aug. 13.-The

struck the western end of Jamaica and
which it was thought had passed, in
stead of proceeding to the northwest
veered to the south and struck ia
maica with it's full force, infficting

the losses, but they must reach mil

tation in the eastern half of the island
has been devastated. The situation
in the western half is unknown. Con-
siderable injury was done to property
in Kingston and the suburbs. The
roof of the electric light works was
blown off and the machinery was disa-
bled. Railroad traffic was interrupted
and the street cars were stopped.
Many houses were damaged by falling
trees. No loss of life is yet reported.

The Bee and HI. Useful sting.

1t will be a surprise to many to learn
that the most important function of
the bees sting is not singing, says a
bee raiser. l have long been convinced
that the bees put the finishing touches
on their artistic cell work by the dex-
ferrous use of their stings. and during
this final finishing stage of the process
of honey making the bees inject a mi
mute portion of formic acid into the
honey.
This is in reality the poison of their
sting. This formic acid gives to honey
it's peculiar flavor and also imparts to
it It's keeping qualities. The sting Is
really an exquisitely contrived little
trowel with which the bee finishes of
and caps the cells when they are filled
brimful with honey. While doing this
the formic acid passes from the point
of the sting, and the beautiful work Ia
finished.
