Why Clark Declined.

The troubles of the rich received a
forcible illustration in a recent con-
versation between Senator Clark of
Montana and one of his friends. The
senator said that he had once received
from an English syndicate an offer of
$80,OO0,000 for his mining property.
"Why didn't you take it," asked his
friend.
II want to live little longer was
the ambiguous answer.
"What do you mean?"
swell" said the senator slowly, sit
may seem strange to you, but if [ sold
out for $SO,O0O,OOO l. wouldn't be alive
today, 1 firmly believe. Just think
what it means to invest $4,000, 900!
All the work and worry suffered by all
mankind since the death of Adam
would not be equal to the work and
worry involved in trying to invest that
amount and invest it right. No, sir:
I want to live and declined the job"

BILE to hear plants grow you would
scarcely believe it, but two Germans
say they have discovered method of
"hearing" plants grow. In the appear
ance the growing plant is connected
with a Disc having in it's center an in
dicator which moves visibly and regu
larly, and this, on scale fifty times
magnified, denotes the progress in
growth. Both disc and indicator are
metal, and when brought in contact
with an electric hammer, the electric
current being interrupted at each of
the divided interstices of the disc, the
growth Of the plant is perceptible to
the eye.-Chicago Journal.

The Anatomy of q Lounge.

The modern interest in science
through Conservation" has become
more or less of a mania. Even the
children are bitten by it. The Little
Chronicle says that George, aged 8,
takes a great interest in physiology.
One day some members of the fam
fly had been studying dissected por-
cuoine and making drawings Of the
bones. Not long after his sisters took
an old lounge apart, end George
watched them. Presently he came
running to another member of the fam
lily, his eyes on fire, his cheeks flushed
and his locks flying behind him.
"Come! Comet" he cried IF you
want to study physerology, now's your
chance. The girls have got the lounge

GRABBED A LIVE WIRE
To Save Himself from Failing and Was
Dead In an Instant-Received
1880 Volts.

Battle Greek, Mich, July Hilary
Hayward, a lineman for the Michigan
Telephone company, was killed by
electricity while working on a wire
thirty feet from the ground. He was
riding on a small seat along the cable
when he lost his balance. Instructive
ly thrusting forth his hand he grasped
a live electric light wire and received
$3.50 volts.
A helper saw smoke curling from
his hand and called the fire depart
ment. Meanwhile Hayward's body
fell from the live wire and hung sus-
pended across the cable ten feet be-
low. The accident occurred at NJ" in
and Monroe streets, and hundreds Of
people saw the mans body smoking
on the wire and afterwards falling.
HAYWARD had been on the job but two
days. He came from Grand Rapids
He was single.

Too much politics has ruined more
men than gambling. Every reformer
deems it his duty to urge every young
man to take an active part in politics
but few reformers are wise enough to
urge the young man to make his party
subordinate to his every day affairs.
It is one thing to attend the primaries
and help nominate the best man, and
it is quite another thing to depend on
politics for bread and butter. Politics
is fine avocation for young man.
If he is clean and honest it is good for
him and good for the government. But
it is bad vocation. The man that
depends on politics for living will
generally either have very poor liv-
ing or he will obtain it by methods
which cannot be safely discussed in the
presence of a grand jury. Long
participation in office, without other
means of support, often leads to
penury or worse.

Painful to the Touch.

Governor Bob Taylor, the fiddler ex-
ecutive of Tennessee, was the autocrat
Of Democratic politics in his state. A
fractional split in the party seemed
likely on one occasion because Of the
sillkiness of one of the district lead
ers who was noted for his irritating
stubborness, and Governor Bob was
appealed to by Senator Carmack and
other prominent state politicians to
bring the ''insurecto" into line.
But the fiddler had often tried his
authority and his arts on the refrac-
tory lieutenant in vain.
"You can't do anything with that fell
low" he said to the other leaders. HE
is like boil; devilish disagreeable,
but you can't sit on him. New York

of the commissioners of the Joliet and

of managers of the Illinois state re-

prison industries. The object of the
organization is to arrange for the en-

vict labor law adopted by the last

as not to conflict with the labor ques-
ton on the outside.
The officers elected were: Charles
A. Purdunn, Of Marshall, president;
T. J. Clark, of Quincy, secretary. The
next meeting will be held at the
southern Illinois penitentiary at Ches-

have their reports ready for presenta-

Reflections of a Bachelor.

Chances come to every man., but
nearly every man asks them to sit
down and wait till he is ready to take
them, and they move on to the next.
Woman is the genius of compromise;
she begins by wanting her son to be
president; she ends by being satisfied
to have him pass the plate in church.
Just as children are fooled into be-
lieving that the drumstick is the best

cry for it, grown-up people are taught
that two persons can get more out OF
an income than one can.-New York

BELKNAP UNANIMOUSLY
All the Votes In the Kentucky Republican
Convention Thrown for Him
for Governor.

Louisville, KY, July II. = Colonel
Norris B. Belknap, of Louisville,
wholesale merchant widely-known
throughout the country, received the
nomination for governor on the first
ballot in the state Republican conven-
ton. His delegates, contrary to pre-
dictions, stuck to him, though how
much of their tenacity can be charged
to the announcement by Ex-Governor
Bradley that he was not a candidate
can only be conjectured. Belknap was
nominated after an enthusiastic sup
porter of Bradley had placed the for
mer governor in nomination and the
followers of Augustus e. Wilson had
tacitly withdrawn the man supposed
to be Belknap's nearest competitor by
failing to present his name.
There was a slight unpleasanties
during the vote for governor Bradley
had reiterated his statement that he
was not a candidate, only to be inter-
rupted by a delegate, who taunting-
" cried; you're beat now" The in
terrupter was Kissed, and Bradley
turned to the point whence the taunt
had come and shouted: Il don't know
who you are, and 1 don't care, but

Washington, July II. = Secretary
Wilson, who has just returned from a
trip that included Ohio, Indiana, IIli-
rois, Iowa. Minnesota and South Da-
kOta, said that while the farming con-
ditions are generally good, and some
of the crops have large yield, the
corn crop will be short. ''The alb
normally cool weather." he said, ''has
retarded the development of the corn
crop. Along the valleys subject to
floods the crop has been destroyed,
and on the level lands that have been
saturated the corn will not mature.
''The best corn is along the dry roll
ing lands, but even there the cool
season has prevented the crop from
being what it should be at this time.
We may have. an average crop, if che
weather in the future is favorable, but
if it continues cold it is hard to say
to what extent there will be short
age. The grass crop will be the finest
for many years."

Bloomington, ILL.,, July IA new
suspect has been found in the Jor-

told of a person who had been seen
in the vicinity of the JOrdine home
the evening of the murder, and his
relations with his own family lead the
neighbOrs to accuse him of the attack
on the Jordine baby. 1t was decided
to wait, however, until the outcome of
the hearing Of Maude, the oldest sis

Jordine still denies guilt most en-
phatically and the local police are in
clined to believe she is telling the
truth.
The girl took her arrest calmly and
has continued her manner of uncon-

the warrant was read to her by the
