In Ceylon the system Of witch find

oil from newly gathered king cocoanuts
is manufactured by one of the friends
Of the complainant. This Is poured into

the boiling point. Each of the suspect

a right under her ideas of justice TO

While this ordeal is being undergone
a single exclamation of pain on the part

to be an admission Of guilt. If no such
exclamation is made the innocence Of

CONDENSED STORIES.
How Dwight L. Moody Was Taken In
by the Urct1ins of Bethany.

When D. /. Moody went to Beth
any during his travels in the east he
was very soft hearted over all the
multitude of beggars there, not only
because the place is so unusual, but
because he was moved by its beauti-
full traditions. He gave quantities
of backsheesh and then asked If
any of the children had the names
of Mary and Martha. Yes, indeed,
they had. And that opened his
pockets again.
The news of his generosity spread
through the village, and new claim
ants came until his visit seemed like
ly to result in a fight for existence.
The case was getting desperate, and
he told the dragoman to call for ST.
lence while he made an address.
Then he said:
81 have come 5000 miles to see
this little village of Bethany. 1t
was a place my Master loved to Wis
it, and | have come to see it because
he loved it. | am very glad to meet
you all, but now l want to be alone.
l have no more backsheesh, and l
bid you all goodby."
A fine looking boy of sixteen re-
piled to the address. He spoke flu
emily and with the grace of an ora
tor. Mr.. Moody was delighted with
the beginning of his Grafton, but not
with its conclusion:
owe are glad to see the gentle
man and his friends who have come
so far, but the gentleman must not
think that his actions are equal to
the Importance Of his visit. Six
thousand miles is long way to
come, and the gentleman must have
sacrificed much to make the visit.
In consequence it is natural for us
to expect that he would be munifi-
cent in backsheesh. This he has not
been, and now we expect that he will
give us great deal more"
Mr.. Moody was so disguised that
he abandoned the situation entirely
and hurried away with his friends.
81 did Think" said he, 'that boy
had a soul above backsheesh."
"And did you think, too, that
some of the children were named
Martha and Mary" he was asked.
Certainly. Why not?"
Nothing; only they were all
boys."-Leeds Mercury.

Mrs. ShaW'S Wit.

Mrs. Leslie NJ. Shaw, wife of the
secretary of the treasury, has always
been noted for her wit. 1t is said
that young man of humorous bent
one day exclaimed in her presence,
"What could be more dreadful for
a woman than after mending her
husbands coat to find in one of the
pockets love letter from another
woman" fortunately" said Mrs.
Shaw, chat could never happen.
The woman would find the letter
first and then she would not mend
the coat"

DAREDEVIL
DORTHY SHOW
Is Highly Commended to Theater
Goers. At the Auditorium
Tonight,

The kentucky Journal dated
Wednesday, September 80 says of
the Dare Devil Dorothy show.
"A large and cultured audience
was present at the Capital Theatre
last evening to witness the perfor
nance of "Dare Devil Dorothy"
which was presented by a very
capable company. AS promised
the play was something new, and
the large audience showed their
appreciation of the Efforts OF the
fine company by loud and long ap
plause. The play contains musical
comedy, melo-drama, farce comedy
and vaudeville.
To all theatre goers, whenever
they may come In contact with a
Dare Devil Dorothy" company, we
say attend their performance, for
you will certainly see an up-to-date
play, something out of the ordinary
run of plays. Every member OF
the company Is deserving of the
praise of good showloving people.
Should this excellent company
come this way again we venture the
assertion that Capital theatre will
be taxed to It's fullest capacity to
see them. The musical numbers
which are introduced are the very
latest, and are rendered In an ex.
cellent manner"
