The executioner. who was really a
tender hearted man. became visibly az.
fected by the moralizIng words OF the
murderer and, turning to the crowd as
sembled before the scaffold, declared
that his conscience did not allow him
TO proceed or TO take a fellow mans
life, and he then and there resigned his
position ana departed amid the shouts
OF the assemblage.
This caused great confusion among
the representatives OF the law. for
where could they in hurry get anotl-
er executioner? The question was.
however. solved by the condemned
man, who declared that he would ex.
eeute himself as soon as he got through
smoking. He started an interesting
conversation with the priest during
the five minutes or so which he had
left and recommended that he read
Count Tolstois latest book. which CON
tains striking remarks about the rela-
ton OF capital punishment to the teach
ings of Christianity. He then threw

the cell was knocked senseless. and It
was only after being almost suffocated
with smoke that the prisoner was
finally overpowered. Next morning the
execution took place. The condemned

CAUSES OF COLDS.
One of the Most Common of Them Is
Eating Too Much.

oht VI 1Aobt common OF Ihem
Eating Too Much.
The inyariable cause of colds comes
from within. not without. No one takes
cold when in vigorous state of health,
! with pure blood coursing through the
body. and there is no good reason why
any one in ordinary health should have
cold. 1t may come from insufficient
exercise. breathing of foul air. want OF
wholesome food. excess of food, lack of
bathing. etc. but always from some
violation of the plain laws of health.
There can be no more prolific cause
of colds than highly seasoned foods as
well as frequent eating. These give no
time for the digestive organs to rest
and incite an increased flow of the di-
gestive secretions. Thus larger quantl-
ties of nourishment are absorbed than
can be properly utilized. and the result
is an obstruction, commonly called a
'cold." which is simply an effort of the
system to eXpel the useless material.
Properly speaking. 1t is self poisoning,
due TO an incapability of the organism
TO regulate and compensate for the dis
turbance.
A deficient supply of pure air to the
lungs is not only strong predisposing
cause of colds, but prolific source of
much graver conditions. Pure air aud
exercise are necessary to prepare the
system for the assimilation of nutri-
ment, for without them there can be no
vigorous health. The oxygen of the
air we breathe regulates the appetite
as well MS the nutriment that is built
mp in the system.
The safest and best way to avoid
colds is to sleep in room with the
windows wide open and to remain out
of doors every day. no matter what
may be the weather. for at least two
hours, preferably with some kind of
exercise. il no more than walking One
should not sit down to rest while the
feet are wet or the clothing damp A

CAN YOU GUESS TIME?
THERE ARE FOLK WHO CAN DO IT
ALMOST TO THE MINUTE.

They Seem TO Have singular Abn-
ity For Measuring on the Hour,
Like N chronometer-some People
Who Think Time stands stili.
Guessing the time Of day is an
amusement for some and almost pro
fession for others. The best guessers

ees. especially conductors and engi.
ncers. are so much men OF the minute
and the second and have so learned to
trust TO their watches that they do not
acquire the skill that many men have
of guessing time by various natural In.
dieations or by sort of mysterious
knack.
The laborer who does not carry q
watch can often guess within ten or
fifteen minutes OF the time at any hour
OF his working day. II is not uucom-
mon even in New York for laborer
on the street TO inquire the time OF day
of passerby. but the query is oftenest
made near the noon hour. and the la.
borer. IL asked 10 guess. could probably
come very close TO the very minute in
dicated by the length OF shadows, the
position of the sun and the quantity
of light falling into the street. Men
working underground or at night guess
the time much less closely than those
who work by daylight and in the open
air.
Many men so by the hunger clock"
and can guess very close TO the hour
for quitting work whether at noon or
toward the close of the days work. In
shops where there are no clocks hun
dreds of inquiries as TO the time pass
from mouth to mouth as those hours
approach. The signal for quitting work
seldom comes as surprise TO the ordi.
nary hand worker.
Brain workers and men whose trades
require delicate manipulation do not
guess time so accurately as unslilled
laborers, because they become so alb
sorbed in their work as TO be oblivious
to the fight of time. A Woodworking
business man of New York used to
keep an alarm clock on his desk, which
went Off at the hour he should make
ready TO catch a suburban train. The
alarm literally walked him up out OF
thought Sometimes, so to speak. he
slept through the alarm and missed his
train. Without this reminder he would
overstay his time at the office an hour
or more.
Some men have really uncanny
power of guessing time. They do it ap.
parently without the aid of natural in
dications and by means of some inward
monitor which goes on measuring of
the hours like a thermometer. There
are men who can ordinarily guess the
time within ten minutes at any hour of
their waking day. 1t is suspected that
such men rarely become deeply absorb
ed In their work. though the faculty
often accompanies fine intellectual pow.

guessing the time at given f&r "a
the day Is that OF guessing the elapsed
time IN short periods. Hardly one man
in ten can come within five minutes OF
guessing the elapsed time in periods OF
less than half an hour and more than,
quarter, and very few can tell with
in minute when period OF ten min.
utes has elapsed.
The most difficult feat In time guess-
ing is 10 wake from a sound sleep in
the small hours after having gone to
bed before midnight and guess within
half an hour OF the time. Most per
sons, unaided by natural indications,
such as moonlight. the first signs OF
dawn in midsummer or the profound
quiet OF the house in winter. cannot
under these conditions guess within
two hours Of the time.
Persons ordinarily underestimate the
time they have slept at night and over
estimate the length OF daylight nap.
The cat nap of two or three minutes APP
pears TO most persons to have lasted
from fifteen minutes TO half an hour.
In fact. some persons seem to get TO
sleep all over and through and through
whenever they lose consciousness and
are thus utterly oblivious of the flight
of time, while others seem never, even
at night. to be thoroughly saturated
with sleep. Persons Of the latter class
wake at any moment Of the night in al
most full possession OF their faculties
and can usually form pretty good
notion of the hour.
Public speakers are proverbially bad
guessers of the elapsed time when they
speak extemporaneously. Clergymen.
through habit, however, can guess pref
ty close as to the length OF an extern
poraneous sermon. and the clergyman
who breaches beyond his usual time
gets many hints that he is talking too
long from the conduct of his hearers.
When preacher sees his usually wake
full hearers nodding and the younger
members OF the congregation more than
usually uneasy in their seats he knows
that he has passed his usual limit.
Women and children are bad guess
ers OF time because they tend to be pre-
occupied with the matter OF the mo-
ment, so that they are oblivious to all
else. Men who have the habit of keep
ing their watches accurate and of not

THE MOON AND THE MICE,
Curious Indian Legend Explaining
the Waning of Luna.

A curious Indian legend was told to
some people in Omaha by full blooded
Sioux who lives at Pine Ridge agency
He said the belief was that every
time a new moon appeared it was a
signal for all the mice in the country
to gather themselves together in one
spot. When they assembled they then
separated into four great armies. One
army went TO the north. another 10 the
south. a third to the east and Il fourth
to the west. These armies of mice
Travelled until they reached the point
where from the place of starting the

Then they climbed up the sky until
they came to the moon. which by this
time was what we call full.

scamper back down the heavens to the
earth and wait for her to show herself
