full events likely to take place
in the cellar, if certain suspicious of
mine concerning the rapid decrease of
hard cider in certain barrel should
prove to be well-founded, and lead to
the discovery of the cause of such de-
crease, and identify the agent causing
the decrease as one of the men then in
my employ. Well, Hiram, had made
no mistake in this case in connecting
effect and cause. When entered the
cellar l beheld man kneeling before
the barrel In the very act of filing q
large pitcher with sparkling hard cider:
cider that has not its equal on this
planet; cider that even the pious Dea-
con Closefist delights to partake Of
on the sly, of course. When I started
on my trip of investigation 1 was in an
angry frame of mind, but when the
aroma from the purling cider entered
my nostrils my anger subsidized sudden

heart, and I appealed to the better ma

ly way that would have melted the
heart of man made Of snow.

A Model Surveyor.

The Kingman Leader Courier tells of
an early day county surveyor in King
man county, Kan., who neither pos
sessed any instruments nor could have
used them if he had. His method of
measuring land was to tie his ankles
together with cord that was just long
enough to allow him to step one-fifth
of rod each time, and thus hobbled
he would strike out, counting his steps
until he had made sufficient number
to cover the desired distance.
The cord or string used by him in
fastening his legs together, says the
Leader Courier, was made of rawhide,
so that when he was travelling through
the grass of morning when the dew
was on it would become wet and
stretch nearly foot, and so his steps
were much longer of morning than
they were of an evening. after the sun
had dried the whang leather and short
ened it. Consequently the man h2ving
his land surveyed in the morning
would have much more in his quarter
section than his neighbor who had his
work done in the afternoon. These
old surveys and corners then estab-
lished cause annoyance even to this
day.-Ex.

flict without the most remote hope
of reparation. Think how far loose,
ill-considered remark will travel on the
tongues of evil-disposed men and wom-
en-! Think how much unmerited mis-
cry often Results from such unweighed
assertions, even tho they be true; and
how little they benefit society in any
form whatever. It seems as if the pub
lie by common consent would desire
means TO eradicate this evil. 1 have
no desire to exaggerate. 1t would ill
become me. On the contrary, have
only an honest regard for truth. Ey-
power of public opinion. Why, it
sometimes penetrates even into the
courts, now and then giving the "blind
goddess of justice" a black eye. And
public opinion is formed by little
gossip here, little there. 1t is mir
rored by the newspapers.
i have no idea that my plan of en-
acting law to limit not freedom, but
license of speech will set the river on
fire. For it is melancholy fact that
in no country is it more difficult to i'm
press on the public mind an obvious
truth than in America. advocate the
adoption of such statute, not from
selfish motives, but for the public good
because I believe it would prove an
unmixed blessing to every community.
Now, what of the convict? Is he a
man, or is he a Gagged hyena to be
classed with the beasts of the forest
Many estimable people really believe
that man who occupies prison cell
cannot be human being. They think
he has become moving object of Gu
riosity, revolving in the extreme. (This
view, by the way, is not held by prison
officials, and they are In daily contact
with prisoners.) But the public is not
to be blamed for its ideas on this sub
ject, for the people are educated tc
look upon one as lost who by single
misstep has fallen. 1t does not changt
the complexion of the man found gull
ty of crime to say that in the midst O
society are men, prominent and respect
ed, who are criminals as black as an!

not hard to find. That however, is Meth

Turning an Argument.

"It is curious what small sayings will
sometimes turn the tide in a heated ar
gument," said the observant man. can
apt quotation, or question turning on
some humorous phase of the matter at
issue will often change the whole tenor
of discussion among men. 1 remem-
ber reading few years ago of an acri-
monious tilt in Congress between two
Democrats, one who was espousing the
cause of free silver and the other man
who had switched around from the po-
sition of an advocate of the dollar of
the daddies' to an out and out gold
standard man. The gold standard
Congressman had plunged into the
money question on the floor of the
House, and his silver colleague was
trying to have fun at his expense by
plying him with questions. Among
other things he was prodded because
he had changed his mind completely
on the money question, and was
charged with being glaringly inconsist-
ent. Consistency consistencyp he
shrieked with impressive deliberation.
Consistency is the hobgobblin of small
minds The quotation from Emerson
was so apt that the free silver man
was routed by the uproar among the
gold standard men. heard CONVEX

tired printers at the hour of closing

situation with vigor, and the senti-

The men who took decided stand on
the question had reached the loud talk
ing point, and the gabble was on in
earnest, and was about to reach that
stage when q representation in minia-
ture of the Oriental struggle was about
to take place. A meek-looking, quiet
fellow, during slight pause in the
loud talk, said, in a half-indifferent
way: Wonder what Russia is going to

fitted the occasion, and the overheated
printers quit talking war and laughed
heartily at the clever way in which the

At my heart, follow thee;

loneliness.

Remote and solemn, with enduring snow
Forever hooded, yonder mountain-peak
Climbs to the shining stars, alone and bleak.
And here forever sighs, with ebb and flow,
The moving ocean, to whose depths no glow
OF summer sunshine may an entrance seek.
And In their isolation lie and reek
The deserts alkaline where no foot can go.
Lonely are these! But lonelier still than they
Summing their loneliness into one whole
Inviolate and terrible as fire.
There passes, on its solitary way,
Untouched, unheard, unknown, each human
soul
Alone, for all its loving and desire.
