CONCERNING CONSCIENCE.

' The public conscience consists mostly
of frances.
There are more kinds of consciences
than you can count.
The man who stirs up the public con-
science sometimes gets stirred under
himself.
The public conscience differs from the
private conscience only in quantity, not
in quality.
The conscience of some people closes
its eyes to its own debts, but keeps them
wide open to the debts of others.
Very few men are too conscientious to
permit their hens to lay eggs on Sunday.
Most men work their layers overtime.
1t is funny what fuss some people
make over the money another mans
conscience has allowed him to accumu-
late.
The man whose conscience wears
tight shoes is not an agreeable compan-
ion, as you are always afraid of tread
ing on its corns.
The civilization conscience is cult
waited and is adorned with laces, tucks
ana frlllS. 1t wears tallOr-made suit
and eats with fork.
The conscience of the heather is as
unembellished as is his body. The nude
ness OF the combination appeals to the
conscience of the missionary and he en-
deavOrs to utilize the mantle Of charity.
A weight on a mans conscience gives
him inward dyspepsia Confession and
restitution are highly recommended
for this malady. Some patients try
phlaa hropy instead and with indiffer-
ent results.
There are men whose consciences will
not permit them to ride to church on
the trolley car Instead they are driven
to the sanctuary by their coachmen,
who are left to mediate in dignified soil
tude outside in the cold.

Kansas City.-In several counties Of
Kansas the new census returns show
that the men greatly outnumber the
women. This probably accounts for the
proud and imperious disdain of the
Kansas maidens whose chances In the
matrimonial table Of expectancy are far
brighter than in other and less favored
communities. IN one county there is a
man and seven-eighths to every girl 1t
is said the girls of this county have de-
veloped the naughty eye and marble
heart along with the straight front and
mincing glide. To the signing SWANS
of this locality they gave the trapped
salutation in the security of knowing
that if they fail to land travelling man
or college harvest hand they can always
rely upon the local supply Of eligibles.

KNUDSON'S PATRIOTISM.
Will Have His Breast Tat
tooed With National Seal.

Knud Lawrence Knudson, better
known as Larry, the wealthiest ONCE
building chief janitor OF Chicago. will
have his breast tattooed with the
seal Of Norway and the national colors
of Independence OF the country, says
the Chicago Post. This is in honor Of
the final separation of Norway from
Sweden, Il step which Mr.. KnudsOn
has advocated for the last thirty years.
He was at one time a member OF
the royal navy, has met King Oscar
and had many strange adventures in
foreign lands. His arms are already
tattooed with patriotic Norwegian sym
bols.
Mr. Knudson said the other morning:
more than half a million Norwegi-
ans in the United States are preparing
for general celebration Of Norway's
final Independence. In New York. Bos-
ton, Washington, here Chicago, Oma-
la, Denver, Minneapolis aud other

NAV End Hanaine OF women.

The reprieve of Mrs. Mary NJ Rog-
ers by the governor of Vermont per
haps marks the fact that there wiz not
be another woman hanged in this ooun-
try. The Pennsylvania authorities
yielded 70 popular demand in the case
of Mrs Kate Edwards, and there can
be no doubt that Mrs. Rogers reprieve
is due 10 the same influence rather
than to the reasons officially assigned.
1t has been made clear that the peo-
pie of this country do not approve of
the hanging of women. 1t was no es-
pecial sympathy with these two par
ticular women which has stayed the
hand of t1Ie execufioner Both are
guilty beyond question of enormous
crimes most fieRdish in their nature.
Each murdered her husband with de-
liberation and In cold blood. Every
new trial granted to each in order to
put off the dreaded day only added to
the conclusive evidence of guilt.
But a righteous public sentiment is
opposed 10 their hanging, and, except
in cases where strong private interests
are involved on the other hand, public
sentiment prevails Even the courts
find way 10 yield TO popular clamsr.
Theoretically, of course, explains the
Atlanta Times. both sexes ought TO be
equal before the law. But in con
fict between sentiment and logic, the
latter generally gets the worst of it.
Cold-blooded moralists bitterly lament
the introduction of the double standard
of judgment.
Bat. after all, the standard of judg-
ment between men and women is COM
mon enough in everyday affairs. In the
minds of 80 of every 100. women are
judged differently than men are. One
virtue makes a man; the loss of one
ruins a woman. Why, then. should not
the double standard be consistently car
ried to the shadow OF the gallows and
women for once given the best of it?

The Japan Indemnity.

The negotiations between Russia
and Japan win not begin until Aug
ust l. 1t is said that Japan is
very moderate in her demands The
largest indemnity thus far paid was
in settlement of the Franco-German
war. Germany demanded $1,000 900
600 and it took three years TO provide
for its full payment. The patriotism
of the nation was appealed 10 and the
money was subscribed by the people
without affecting the banks. Russia's
position is vastly different from that OF
France The people of France are pru-
dent. economical and rich. The people
of Russia are ignorant. poor and over
taxed Russia. therefore, to meet her
indemnity will have TO rely upon other
nations 10 take her bonds. and her
credit is already strained through her
present large Indebtedness.
IL will be more OnerOus for Russia
TO pay 100000 900 than il was for
France to pay twice this amount. The
war has COST Japan about $500 600. 900
She can easily get an equivalent for
that outlay by eXacting the surrender
of the Russian railway in Manchuria,
including all the territory in Manchu-
ria held by Russia and all the Russian
warships that are at present laid up in
eastern ports Japan has N least $60,-
600. 600 to her credit at the present
time in different New York City institu-
tions. and this money may remain there
If Japan secures an immediate payment
of money indemnity.
Ehe weakening of Russia as nation
by che war is most unfortunate for
France. as there will now be d con
slant fear that Germany may now be
come involved in another war with
France Such war would be very pop.
ular in Germany. for il would make the
German people worship their emperor
