ENroMBED IN A CORNERSTONE.

There is nothing especially impressive
in itself about the practice OF putting
coins under the foundation stone of a
new building, especially if the denoml-
nation of the coins is modest Yet this
harmless practice is the shadow of an
older tragic custom. The money stands,
theoretically, for the ransom of the
human being who by ancient supersti-
ton should have been buried in its
place. Otherwise. it was held. the build
ing would not stand firm and endure.
Thsre was time when this particular
kind Of human sacrifice had a vogue ex-
tending to most part of the world. Even
in England skeletons have been found

Lost Reputation.
Raymond Hitchcocks Great Dane Did
Not Justify Appearances

Raymond Hitchcoek's great Dane has
lost his prestige. The dog is a massive
brute, apparently justifying his name,
which is Holy Terror.
During Mr.. Hitchcock's travelling sea-
son friends who live in the country have
been caring for the dog, and when they
have had Holy Terror out walking the
remaining citizens have kept to the
other side of the road.
The other night the custodians OF the
ferocious animal locked him in the house
and proceeded TO New York and the
theater Upon their return they made
the narrowing discovery that they had
lost their keys, and were facing the oif-
ficult problem of how TO get in without
counting sure death in the capacious
nav of Holy Terror.
But il was cold and driZzling and the

HOUSE PUBLIC LANDS COMMIT.
TEE TAKES ACTION ON
MONDELL BILL.
Prohibits Selection of Lands Valuable
for Timber in Lieu of Surrendered
Forest Reserve Lands-Tweed Bill
Passes House-Mckenzie Claim
Allowed at Washington.

Washington, d. c., March 1.-THE
house public lands committee has or
dered a favorable report on the Mon
dell bill to regulate the selection OF
public lands in lieu of lands surren'
dered within forest reserves.
The bill prohibits the selection OF
lands valuable for timber in lieu OF
surrendered forest reserve lands. The
measure is being opposed vigorously
by railroads and other large owners
OF land scrip obtained by the surrender
of forest reservation lands.
The amendments agreed upon allow
owners of lands in forest reserves,
which lands have not been denuded of
timber, to exchange the same for other
vacant surveyed non-mineral lands
subject to homestead entry. The pur-
pose Of the bill is to prevent persons
who have acquired timber lands and
denuded the same from exchanging
such lands for valuable ,.mbered lands
elsewhere. The amendment prevents
an injustice to persons who have not
denuded their holdings in forest re-
serves.

Buy Senator-United States Attor-
ney Removed for Prosecution.

Kansas City, Mo-, March 17.-State
Senator Jesse Jewell, charged with So
Letting a $4,000 bride for three votes
in the alum legislation, took the stand
in his own behalf today, after the court
had overrulled the demurrer made by
the defense. Jewell testified that he
never solicited the bride and intimated
that John Hess, the baking powder
company's agent, offered to bride him.
Fred Fleming, a politician, testified
that he and his side had as much
money rs the baking powder trust to
influence legislation, and then asked
Jennings support. Fleming's aide
threw Hesse out. The case went to
the jury this afternoon.
