Creating a Vacancy.

When the republic has been set up
in France in 184S, wrote the Baroness
Bonde, the first attempts of the en-
franchised people to use their new
powers resulted in the election of the
most miscellaneous assembly that
had ever tried to govern country. A
member nominated from Rouen went
to Paris and selected his seat He
had hardly taken it when his next
neighbor turned and stared at him.
The Rouen man, embarrassed, turned
up his coat collar, but too late.
Sir" said his lynx eyed colleague,
81 believe | had the honor of sending
you to the galleys for murder in 18-,
when | was judge. You had strangled
the servant Of the cure who had
brought you UP, and robbed the worthy
man. Oblige me by resigning i'm.
mediately."
The next day the Moniteur an
nounced that there was a vacancy for
Rouen, but did not tell why.-Pro-

Principles Of Morality i.

Possibly there is too little attention Civ
en- by the leaders of religious thought to
the relations of sin to society and to i'm
pressing the duty of abstract righteous
ness upon all classes of men. 1t is not
sin in its relation to God that we mean,
but sin as it affects mans value to him
self and to society-:he sociological aspect
of violation of Gods law. There are
some men who can be reached only in this
way. Sin against God has no terrors for
them. The thought of future accounta-
bility does not appeal to them; but its
temporal consequences, its effects on civ
il and social life and upon the sinner him
self, may, if rightly presented, have
deterrent influence. The world to-day is
blinded by vicious ideas of right and
wrong. Sin, in some quarters, is less OBJ
noxious than breach of social etiquette.
Iniquity is justified in many quarters if it
can be made to pay. But society is safe
only as correct principles of morality dom.
mate it. and correct ideas will come only
through leaders of religious thought

Sued a President.

Pawnee county claims to be the res
idence of the only living man who
sued a president of the United States.
His name is G. S. Van Eman and he
lives at Jennings. Van used to run a
sheep ranch up in Lyon county, Kan
sas, and was getting along all right un-
til Grover Cleveland was elected pres
ident, and the edict went forth that
wool was to be put on the free list.
Van had about consummated a sale,
but claims the fear of tariff changes
forced the price of sheep down several
points. Furthermore, his regard for
his sheep and country was SO high that
he was ashamed to look a sheep in the
face under the conditions that Cleve-
land forced upon them. SO during the
reign of Grover he made a practice of
beginning at the rear end of sheep to
shear it, This greatly Inundated him
and caused him to lose prestige with
his hired hands and merinos.
Feeling intensely aggreived and ma
terially damaged. he sued Grover
Cleveland, president of the United
States, getting service by publication,
and obtained a judgment for $500. OF
course, it was never collected. for
Grover never got in reach of an exc
cution. But Van claims he felt better,
though the debt remains unpaid

THE MUSIC CURE.
Papa Had No Headache After Plenty
of "Bedelia."

An interesting experiment was re.
Gently conducted in an uptown apart
ment house by q young woman with
a taste for scientific research. She
had heard Of the so-called music
cure" as tried in Boston. and she de-
termined to investigate it. A few af-
ternoons ago her father. an exemplary
citizen in every way came home with
a violent headache. The young wom-
an persuaded him to recline in an
easy chair and placed his mind in
quiescent state. Then she went
around into the next suite of apart
ments and persuaded her dearest
friend, young woman with some
knowledge of the piano, to play that
instrument close to the partition that
divided the two suites. The young
woman said she'd play until her friend
raped on the wall and asked her to
stop Whereupon she commenced
with "Bedelia," while the other young
woman with watch in hand stood close
to the sitting room door and watched
the result. Not only did she watch it,
but she took notes of it as follows:
-Four twenty-five, Papa is softly
groaning III his chair. His head must
hurt him dreadfully. There, l hear
Laura playing 'Bedelia.' Papa hears it,
too. He is looking around.
-Four twenty-eight. Papa has lift
ed his head a little. 'Bedelia still
goes on. Papa is frowning and biting
his lips. There, he is staring at the
wall behind which Laura is busy I
think he begins to feel the influence.
Yes, it is contracting his muscles. He
is shaking his fist. His lips msve He
is saying things.
-Four thirty-two Papa has slipped
from his chair. His eyes are gleam-
ing, his fists are clenched. 'Bedelia'
still goes on.
-Four thirty-fve. Papa is saying
things at the wall I'm afraid Laura
will hear some of them. She is play
ing much louder. 1t is still 'Bedelia.'
Papa is getting red in the face. He is
tearing his hair. | wish he wouldn't
do that. He hasn't any to spare
-Four thirty-seven. Papa has tipped
over the chair and is hopping around
like a demented Pawnee. And. oh,
the language he uses is something aw-
full! Bang! l think Laura has just
fallen off the music stool Anyway,

The Fascination of Golf.

There are a GOOD many people who
think that golf is just foolishness.
These are generally people that have
watched one or two games without
really understanding them and have
never taken driver, lofter or putter
into their own hands and played.
There is no game that grows in fas.
cination more rapidly than does golf
