Pen Srnmnner,ne.

The discussion of the question OF
'pen stammering" suggested by DIR.
Bertillon, of Paris, and in which some
reference was made to Ribot's discus
sion of the same subject, reminds me
that 'pen stammering'' had been not
only recognized, but named, some time
before either of these gentlemen came
upon the scene of human activity to
observe and classify the nervous all
ments of mankind. The fact Is that Sir
Walter Scott, whose writings have de-
lighted so many persons, was suffer-
err, as shown by the following excerpt,
taken from the Life of Scott" by
Iockhart. tenth volume, second edi-
ton: january 10, 1871 cannot say
the world opens pleasantly for me this
new year.
"'There are many things for which
] have reason to be thankful, especial
" that Cadets plans seem TO have

WFeGkeu III punt VI hChith, anu an
now confirmed l have had a paralytic

rassment, and even my handwriting

carries the 'pen stammering" habit
much farther back than the discussion
up to this point had carried it, and
no doubt there can be found authentic
cases still further back than 1881.
The fact is that ''pen stammering"
probably came into existence a short
while after men began to write. 1t is,
at any rate, quite reasonable to as
sumo that the ailment followed quick
liz on the heels of the writing habit,
and it was probably more extensive In
the early days than it is now, because
it marked a departure in the uses Of
the hand.-New Orleans Times-Demo-

A WOODEN INTRODUCTION.


Gainsborough, the artist, was born
at Sudbury, in England, and there,
saws Lord Ronald Cover, he designed
his first work of art. The orchard OF
his fathers place had been repeatedly
numbered of fruit. No one knew who
the thief might be. until one day
Young Gainsborough saw there
rough-looking man, leaning his elbows
on the brick wall. He made a sketch
of the fellow, and froIg this portrait
the thief was ever afterward identi-
fed
Later the boy cut out a rough figure
from wood, and painted it in oils, IN
the likeness of this man. The scare
crow was known as Jack Peartree.
II probably represents Gainsborough's
first attempt at working in oils.
IF was the means Of introducing the
artist TO one of his most intimate
friends. Thicknesse, the lieuteant gov
ernor of the Landgaurd Fort near
Inswich. Thicknesse was one day
walking with a friend, when he per
ceiyed what seemed to be a melan-
choly-faced countryman, with his arms
locked together, leaning over the gar
den wall.
He pointed out the doleful figure 20
his companion, who, it seems, was ae-
quainted with it.
HE has been there all day." said
the gentleman. Il pity him. He must
be either mad or very miserable"
Thicknesse insisted On approaching
the wretched man. and, to his delight
ed surprise, found him to be Jack
Peartree. So charmed was he with
Jack that he lost no time in becom-
ing acquainted with the author OF
Jacks being, with the result Of a
warm and lasting friendship.

Tariff Reform.

To have even the mont gross IN
equalities of the tariff revised. there
must be a Congress elected which is
favorable to revision. The dominant
faction of the Republican party is
heart and soul with the protectionists.
and the only revision Of the tariff
they would attempt would be to revise
it higher If the Republicans control
the next Congress they will organize
the Ways and Means Committee,
through which sieve all tariff bills
must pass, so that no reform bill will
be reported and allowed to come to
vote. If the Republicans have only
o small majority in the next Congress
they will fear TO allow any bill affect
ing the tariff to reach the stage of dis
cussion. for there viii be some few
Republican members, like Mccall OF
Massachusetts, who will vote with
the Democrats for reciprocity with
Canada, and perhaps also for amend
ments which would prevent the trusts
from selling abroad cheaper than
here.
So the only hope of revision is that
the Democrats will have the major
ity of the House of Representatives
and send a reasonable bill to the SEN
ate that will put the members Of that
body on record either for or against
the most gross iniquities Of the tariff.
If two or three bills revising the spe-
cial iniquities of the tariff are passed
by a Democratic House of Represen-
tatives, there is good reason to believe
that several Republican Senators
would think twice before voting
against such measures of relief from
trust exactions. Public opinion would
also have its effect upon that coterie
OF trust auxiliaries-the Republican
members of the Senate Committee on
Finance-of which Senator Aldrich is
chairman, who may be retired to pri-
vate life, if the Independent voters of
Rhode Island do their duty.
In spite of his former tariff reform
proclivities, President Roosevelt has
surrendered to the protectionists, so
those voters who feel the burden Of
trust high prices, or who for ethical
reasons favor reform, should vote for
Judge Parker. With Democratic
President and Congress, there will he
some hope of tariff reform and GER
tainty of a thorough investigation OF
the. frauds in all departments of the
government and retrenchment in the
present extravagant expenditures.

Ennrmnnn Trust Profits.

The paramount issue in this cam
paign is the curbing Of the criminal
trusts and the revision of the tariff to
that end. There is one way to curb
the trust which is persistently evaded
by the administration, that the anti
trust law plainly provides for, and that
is the criminal prosecution of those
who conspire to restrain trade. When
the Supreme Court decided the North
srn Securities case, Justice oliver Wen
He'll Holmes indicated that the criminal
section was the certain way of get
ting relief There is no doubt that
two or three criminal trust magnates
balance from their criminal depreda
tons on long suffering people.
When the Standard Oil trust pays
40 per cent dividends does any one be-
lieve that such enormous profits are
egitimate. When the Steel trust, with
It's stock watered three times over,
made for the first three years of its
existence an average of over $119,000,-
900 a year. or about $10,00000o a
month, does any one think such enor-
nous profits could have been realized
without the fostering care of the pro-
tective tariff. All the criminal trusts
are entrenched by monopoly of some
kind, if not the tariff then the special
rates on the railroads, ownership of
private cars, with rebates ON the mile
age they travel, or monopoly of trans
portation and terminal facilities, like
the Standard Oil trust, or of receiving
and distributing facilities like the Beef
trust controls. besides the private car
rake-off.
The corporations and combines are
now IN alliance with the government.
The trust paying for immunity and for
a continuation of the monopoly that
the tariff gives them and the Republi-
can campaign fund receiving part of
the increment. President Roosevelt
declares that he viii continue the
stand pat" policy in the future, as
IL the past, which is guaranty to
the protective industries that they are
not to be disturbed. That is the issue
the voters are called upon to decide.

Rae Krauss Serving Life Tenn for

Rae Krauss Serving Life Tenn for
Staying StepdauGhter.
After many weeks of stout denial in
the face of almost absolute proof, Mrs.
Rae Krauss confessed in court at Hart
ford City that she administered strych-
nine that killed her stepdaughter, Crys-
tai h.auss, who died in convulsions
Aug. 2. The confession was a surprise
even to the woman's lawyer. After the
admission the woman was sentenced to
prison for life and was taken at once to
the women's prison in Indianapolis. A
mob at the station Kissed Mrs. Kl9uss
and uttered threatening cries as she
boarded a train for prison.
1t came out that the confession vas
drawn from the woman by her husband,
who, with that idea in view, visited her
every day in Jail. He was instructed in
his actions by States Attorney Burns.
An indictment was returned and the
trial was begun at once in accordance
with the prisoners demand. Late in the
afternoon a jury was secured, and when
the usual questions as to guilt or inno-
cence was put, Mrs. Krauss replied,
calmly, Guilty"
The word startled the court room, as q
fight had been expected and the defend
ants attorney had consulted with her
up to the opening OF court as to her de-
Tense. At the dramatic moment Mrs.
Krauss produced a paper and handed it
to Judge Vaughn. 1t was her written
confession. She said in her statement
that she did not realize what she was do
ing, and expressed deep penitence.
Crystal was Is years old, and her step
mother, who was married to w. Il.
Krauss, prominent druggist, only two
months before the murder, is 81. Both
women were active in church affairs.
Krauss intended to leave his fortune Of
about $4,000 to his daughter.
The girl died suddenly, after a meal.
Mrs. Krauss advanced the suicide the
DRY. WbeD suspicion began to point
strongly toward the older woman a chem
ical examination of the contents Of the
dead girls stomach showed she had been
