A pnnic Predicted.

DR. Herbert J. Davenport, of the
economies department of the Univer-
sity of Chicago, in his class in eco
nomic history, made the statement
that within five years the United
States would see another panic, He
bases this statement on the fact that
wages are rising, causing q lessening
of profits, which in its turn causes a
slump in stocks, and on the fact that
in the last century panics have oc-
CURED periodically; one every ten
years on an average. He said:
"Panics have been occurring at in
teryals Of about ten years during the
nineteenth century. 1t Is 10 allow
ourselves to be misled by our hopes TO
suppose that no more panics are to
come. In recent years they have Wis
tied this country in 1857, 1866 1873,
1884 and 1893. We are due for an
other now. The squeeze of last fall
in the stock market may postpone for
year or two the time that a panic
might have otherwise occurred This
movement, If successful, will have n
bearing on the case in that it will tend
to lower profits and to squeeze some
water out of stock valuations"

KNEW WHEN TO QUIZ
Judge Promptly Saw the PoIns In POI
Itician's Advice.

One of the most hospitable citizens
Of Sioux Falls was Judge Fuller OK
the Supreme Court. He was intro
duced to the presidents attention
with the following incident OF his
career:
The judges made a strong campaign
to get the legislature to raise their
salaries. The bill met with great OPP
position. Judge Fuller, who had no
small political influence, went up TO
Pierre to see about 1t. He was met
by one of the leaders Of the party.
How about this thing?" said the
Judge.
Judge" said the other politician.
gravely, you better drop this salary
business. tell you as friend. You
don't want it to go through. 1t is not
in your interest"
"Why amt it?"
Don't you see, judge" explained
the politician, that If we put the sal
aries of the judges up to the figure
you want, the people will turn around
and elect real lawyers to the bench"
The point of the story is that the
Judge dropped the amendment at
once.-New York Sun.

Horror of the Kishinev Massacre.

Additional details of the Kishenev
massacre of Jews give the number Of
victims thus far buried In the Jewish
cemetery at A and say that 81 persons
seriously wounded are still in the Jew

scarcely bear repetition. In one in

ing been sent from Odessa to deal with
the situation. The apathy of the local
authorities during the two days Of
rapine and murder appears to have
been fully established.

A REMNANT OF OLD NEWGATE.
Where Savage Torture Was inflicted
In Ancient Times.

The most notorious part Of the
whole structure-and which yet re-
main-was the press yard. Here 1t
was that peine forte ct dure was in
flicted upon prisoners charged with
felony who. with the view of saving
their property from confiscation, re-
fused to plead at the bar. This dread
full punishment of being pressed to
death was, however, abolished IN
1872. A Major Strangways, who was
indicted for murder, having refused
to plead, was condemned to this saw
age peine forte ct dure. He died in
eight minutes, and many of those who
stones at him to hasten his end.

America Through German Eyes.


Baron Won Polenz. kaisers deputy.
who Travelled through the United
States to make a study of the country,
has submitted an interesting report.
lie says
The more | saw OF America the
less | sympathize with our German
jingoes, but | do hope that the United
States may some day be forced to fight
for her very life. The victory over
decrepit old Spain was far too easily
won.
Unless | am very mistaken about
the temper. the ambitions and the po-
litical destiny of the Americans. their
admirable talent for assimilation and
for attracting other peoples and coun-
tries will result in the annexation Of
Canada, Mexico and all the neighbour
ing island world. Already. they have
achieved commercial and Industrial
supremacy i'm Mexico. 1t seems to be
the mission Of the United States to
create an empire radically different
from any Europe ever produced.
'The American easily forgives and
forgets. the after-histOry of every war
the United States ever engaged IN
proves that abundantly. TO my mind,
the ways of the American courts are
far from ideal, but | make haste TO
add that their mode of inflicting pun
ishment is most humane
American young men are singular
ly well bred for the obvious reason
that they are brought up with the
girls and under the influence of women
of refinement. education and energy.
German young men ill-compare with
their American brethren. How could
they, seeing that they receive their So
cial education at the beer tablet"
