Lasting Effects.

Robert. aged six. was quite an adept
at drawing. One day he was visiting
with his mother in the home of a
neighbor whose little son, George, was
making Il very crude picture of a
house. Becoming discouraged. he ask
ed Robert to show him how While the
two boys were thus engaged Georges
father said to him:
''NOw, if you would take pains as
Robert does you could draw nicely
too"
On their return home Robert, with
his hands pressed lightly upon his
stomach, exclaimed:
Mamma. l did take pains when 1
was drawing that picture for George,

HUNTED BY
MAYA INDIAN
Tbrf1Iine "A dVenfure Of CsOo
Americans In the WiIdS
Of yuc0f0n.

James Calderwood and James Nc
Crindle, two expert sugar men from
New York, who are in charge of sug-
ar plantation in Yucatan for Don Eu
sebio Escalante, one of the organizers
of the consolidated railroads of Yucca
tan. had an experience on the planta-
ton a short time ago which will give
them something to talk about for the
remainder of their days.
The plantation is quite distance
inland, and among the employees are
a large number of Maya Indians, who
are sometimes n tritie unruly. The
cook on the plantation is q Yucatecan,
and one of the Indians had taken quite
q dislike to him. One day for some
slight provocation one of the Indians
decided to stab the cook, and as he was
about to commit the deed Calderwood
caught sight of him.
The American seized a Ratchet and
with one blow Knocked the Indian
down and temporarily disabled him.
But by this time the confusion had at
tracted the attention of the other Indi-
ans, who, seeing that one of their num-
Der had been injured by CalderwOod,
Immediately started out for revenge.
CaIderwood had no weapon with him
and started to run for high platform
which was near and against which a
ladder was placed. Being fleet of foot
and quick of action. he soon gained the
top of the platform McCrindle fol-
lowed him closely. AS soon as the two
had gained the top of the platform they
removed their means of ascent. The
Indians then commenced to throw
stones and other missiles at Calder
wood, but the Spaniard shielded him
with his body, and he was not injured.
Near the high platform was the office
of the company, Il matched roof affair,
with 81 canvas for ceiling. Upon this
the two men sprang and, working their
way through the roof, secreted them
selves between the matched roof and
the canvas The Indians Immediately
made for the office building, and, en-
tering. they searched all around, but
were unable to find them. They at last
decided that he must have crawled into
a large safe which was in the Office and
shut the door.
They tried the safe door. but were
unable to open it. They then decided
to build fire around it and roast them
alive. In a short time they had col
lected large quantity Of wood and
piled it around the safe. Just as they
were ready to touch the match to it one
of the clerks came in and told the In

dams that the Americans were not in
the safe, and to prove his assertions he
ran the combination, opened the door
and showed the Indians that it was en-
tirely empty.
In the meantime Calderwood and Nc
Crindle had made good use of the di-
version and had taken to the woods
which were near by. After the Indians
had searched the building again they
started a general search of the prem
ises, which took them some time. But
their search proved fruitless, and,
thinking that Calderwood would re-
turn soon, they gave up the hunt.

scourge of Whooninr Cough.

Up to the year 1900 whooping cough
had been absolutely unknown in New
Guinea, but once the infection seized
the luckless natives it developed in a
fashion new to medical science. 1t at
tackled fully 80 per cent of all the ma
tRes and proved fatal in over seventy
cases I'm hundred.
The natives of New Guinea do not
believe that death can be the result Of
any natural cause, but credit it to some
unknown enemy. Consequently when
whooping cough attacks a village the
local sorcerer is at once consulted, and
he generally designates some neighbor-
ing tribe as the culprit. A midnight
massacre results and adds to the al
ready awful mortality.

An old fashioned remedy for earache
Is well worth remembering when one
has the care of little children, as a few
drops Of the juice of a roasted onion
will instantly relieve the pain, accord
ing to good authority, as the sufferer
invariably falls into a refreshing sleep
and awakes free from pain. Wrap the
onion in heavy wet paper and roast it
as quickly as possible, covering it with
Goals if this method is practical. In a
very short time it will be tender, and
the juice may be squeezed out into a
spoon and while warm dropped into
the ear.

Obe Hc1reckins I
Of a Romance

no, there isn't any romance left in
the world. Do you know Rosalie Gim-
ble?"
Yes
well. Rosalie was in crowded ear
and had to stand up"
Il thought Rosalie was handsome"
she looks very we'll after dark, but
this was at o'clock in the afternoon,
and she had been TO the bargain cOun-
ter rush and was Il little tired. And
when Rosalie is tired she shows it so
in her face Well. there she was dingle
dangling from Il strap-and you know
how short she is. Her toes didn't much
more than touch the floor, and she
weighs all of 10 And just then the
car gave a iurch and the strap broke,
and ROsalie sat right down on such
handsome young man. Wasn't that a
lovely beginning for a romance? OF
course Rosalie was all bushes as she
struggled to her feet and apolOgized so
sweety. And the young man got right
up and made room for her. and Rosalie
said, oh, thank you so much" and the
young man said, Il only regret that 1
didn't give you the seat sooner And
Rosalie noticed that he said it with a
kind of grOan and that he limped badly
as he walked back. and then she heard
him ask the conductor to let him off at
the first doctors office. Wasn't that a
shame?'
II should say it was!"
''Wel. she got a little satisfaction
out of it, She asked the railroad som
pany for 500 because the strap broke.
and they gave her $6 and told her to
diet and grow taller."-Cleveland Plain

How the Serbs Poison Arrows.

A wound from the arrow of a Seri
Indian usually causes death because
the arrows are always poisoned. It is
said that the natives prepare their poi
son by allowing a rattlesnake to bite a
piece of deer meat and then dipping
their arrows into the meat after it has
become thoroughly inoculated.

and sentenced in 1858 TO be hanged.
President Cleveland commUted this SEN
tence to Imprisonment for life.
Several Attorneys General have eX-
smined jhe case and made reports TO
the President, stating that 8: was not a
proper case for pardon. but that the
facts showed it to be a case OF murder
in the second degree. the maximum pen
atty for which in most States is twenty
years. Al the time OF conviction in this
case no degrees OF murder were defined
by the United states statutes.
Attorney General Knox. after an ex-
animation OF the papers, has taken the
same view as his predecessors. and rec
commended 4 communication to imprison
ment for twenty years. The prisoner
has served nearly fifteen years in prison
and this Communication will operate TO
release him within the near future. pro-
vided he earns by good conduct all the
Communication allowed by law
The sentence Of James Stevenson. con-
victed in Indian Territory Of selling in
toxicafing liquors and sentenced to i'm
prisonment for four years. has been
commuted 10 two years. This commuts-
tion was recommended by the Attorney
General because the district attorney
and judge have reported that in view Of
the facts which have come out since
the sentence they believe the sentence
OF four years was excessive and that
TWO years Imprisonment would be ample
punishment.
The sentences or Andrew Catcher.
Charles Chisholm, Isaac Alexander. and
VIII Davis, all convicted in the northern
district of Indian Territory OF horse
stealing and sentenced in 1901 TO i'm
prisonment for FIVE years each. have
been commuted TO terms OF imprison-
ment 10 expire July / 1901. When the
communication takes effect the prisoners
will have served the equivalent OF three
year sentences.
The Attorney General recommended
these combinations in view of the re-
ports OF the district attorney and judge
that under the facts or these particular
cases they believe the minimum penalty
OF FIVE years fixed by the statutes is eX-
cessive
The President has pardoned Alexander
QuarIes. convicted IN the police court
of the District OF Columbia OF carrying
a razor and sentenced on November 26
1902, 20 imprisonment for 200 days n
the District Jail. The District Attorney
and the trial judge report that after the
sentence was imposed in this case II was
shown beyond question that the pris-
oner was innocent OF any intention oi
