The Emperor and the Mandarin

The favorite horse Of the Chinese en-
peror Isl having died through negli-
gence on the part Of the master of the
horse, the emperor In his rage would
have run that functionary through
with his sword. Mandarin Yentsi,
however, parted the blow, saying:
"Sire, this man is not yet convicted Of
the crime for which he deserves to die"
swell, then, tell him what It Isl
"Listen, you scoundrel." said the min
lister, ''to an enumeration Of the crimes
which you have committed. First. you
have allowed a horse to perish which
the emperor has intrusted to your safe
keeping. Moreover, II is owing to you
that our sovereign became SO exasper-
ated that he was on the point Of killing
you with his own hand Lastly, 1t is
your fault that he was about to dis
grace himself in the eyes Of everybody
by killing a man for a horse"
"Let him CO." interrupted the en-
peror, who understood the lesson. II
pardon him."

Froude, the historian, tells this story
of Carlyle and his wife, who lived on
VIGOROUSLY bad terms. the latter dying
first: "Carlyle found remembrance in
her diary of the blue marks which in
fit Of passion he had once inflicted on
her arms. AS soon as he could collect
himself he put together memoir Of
her, in which with deliberate courage
he inserted the discriminating passages
Of her diary, the note of the blue marks
among them, and he added an injunc-
ton of his own that, however stern and
tragic that record might be, 1t was
never to be destroyed"

Deafness is often caused by the
violence with which people blow their
noses" said a New York specialist in
eye and ear diseases. There is an in
innate relation between the aural and
nasal passages. You sometimes feel
It when you are bathing and get your
nose full Of water. Then you will find
more deafness in localities where the
residents are subject to catarrh. In the
straining attendant on blowing the
nose persons stretch the eardrum.
Sometimes they burst the membrane.
I have handled many cases Of this sort,
where deafness came suddenly after a
heavy cold In the head"

Not Over Wise.

There is an old allegorical picture
of a girl scared at a grass-hopper, but
in the act of heedlessly treading on a
snake. This is paralleled by the man
who spends large sum OF money TO
build cyclone cellar, but neglects to
provide his family with bottle OF
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Di-
arrhoea Cure as a safeguard against
bowel complaint, whose victims out
number those of the cyclone a>hundred

recognized as the most prompt and
reliable medicine in use for the diseas-

 The Little Bishop saw the expres- sion of surprise that came into the cor respondents face and he added, Yes, VI with rising infection and shut his lips tightly.
 Ills mind had been filled with the hor- TOT of the lynching when the interview opened, the horror that the Englishman has of any oVer-ridden law, What he knew of the negros crime and his hor- rible death at the hands of an infuriated mob had been gathered entirely from the headlines in newspapers He knew noth- ing of the revolting circumstances that attended killing of Helen Bishop.

 Mir. Payne conferred with his assistant on the subject. Subsequently he declined to say whether any reply had been sent to Mir. Madden and similar reticence was ob- served by those who discussed the incl dent with MT. Payne.
 Mir Madden's publication of the letters in advance of its receipt by his superior officer. to whom 1t was addressed. and his suggestion that the matter might have been given out by First Assistant Post master General Wynne or Fourth Assist ant Postmaster General Bristow provoked considerable comment at the department.

HE REFUSES TO TALK
Accused of Taking Pay for
 Securing Contract.
Postmaster General Payne Replies tc the Open Letter of MT. Madden, Administering Sharp Rebuke
 to His Subordinate.

New York, June 2-Former Congress- man Driggs was indicted by the Federal grand jury in Brooklyn today. He ap- peared before Judge Thomas and gave bail.
 The indictment grew out of the investi- gation into the postoffice affairs, made by the grand jury. Four indictments were found. all practically alike. Each charges that Driggs, between July 20 and A. 1900. unlawfully agreed to receive and did re- ceive a $500 check from the Brandt-Dsnt Company for procuring a contract from the United States Government for mak- ing and delivering 250 automatic cashiers for the Postoffice Department.
 To the first two indictments MT. Driggs pleaded not guilty, reserving the right to plead later to the others. which contains sixteen counts each, after his lawyer had read them.
 MT. Driggs refused absolutely to com ment on the matter. He has previously admitted. however. receiving a salary of S12, 800 from the Fraudulent Company for introducing its machines. but claimed that the work he did for the company was done before he was sworn in as Congress- man, but after his election. and declaring that he had done nothing to which the Government could object.
 The indictments were found under Sec tions III and l72 of the Revised Statutes of the United States which provide for the punishment of any person receiving emolument while in the employ of the Government"
 MT. Driggs was before the grand jury today preceding the finding of the indct- ments.
