Revived Old Friendship.

Col. Leroy Templeton and James C.
Totten of Indianapolis are large land
owners in Newton county, Indiana.
They are also friends of many years
standing. Some time ago they got
into dispute regarding their adjoin-
ing property and Templeton sued for
100000 damages. The case was
fought through several terms and the
old friends had become enemies. One
day they met by accident in Kentland.
Acting on a sudden impulse, Totten
extended his hand and said: We're
Il couple of fools" Templeton grasped
the proffered hand. cordially agreed
with the observation made and in half
an hour the two were dining together,
having reached an agreement-Chi.

HuNGER's CAUSE AND EFFECT.
Unpleasant Sensation as Described by
Medical Authority

Hunger is the sensation felt because
OF the contraction of the muscularis
either Of the pylorus or possibly also
the entire stomach or OF the duode-
mum. or Of the contraction of the
muscularis of all these structures. II
the contraction is more intense it is
felt as a painful hunger. If the con-
traction is slight, then the sensation
OF the hunger is also of a slight de-
gree; it is evanescent
Hunger is lesser degree of pain
and is produced by the contraction of
the muscularis. This is the reason
why hunger passes away after a GER
tain lapse of time, even If no food has
been taken. 1t means simply that
the muscularis becomes tired and con-
traction gives way TO relaxation. Alb
sence of contraction, the inability to
contract; relaxation. distention-
these being the opposite, the reverse
OF contraction results in the opposite
or appetite, anoreXia, provided, how
ever that such distention is not caus-
ed by over-alundance Of the irritating
acid gases. Anorexia is the sensory
symptom OF distention of the stomach
and upper portion of the intestine by
nonlrrltatlng gases. accompanied by
complete or partial relaxation of the
sphincter. This is the condition we
observe in chronic pyloritis, chronic
gastritis. and chronic inf1ammatory
conditions of the first portion Of the
small intestine.-New York Post

MEETDEATHM MERRILY
CHINESE BANDITS JOKE UP TO
LAST MOMENT.
After Undergoing Tortures Of the Prs-
on the Doomed Men Go Almost
Willingly to Execution-CaII for a
Song on the Scaffold.

A correspondent Of the Shanghai
Times thus describes the execution of
three Chinese bandits July 81 last at
Dahoshun, midway between Kao-
pangtze and Sinmintun, native soldiers
being in charge: Going up the hill
to the execution ground one of the
men was SO heavily shackled with a
great beam of wood round his ankles
that he was unable to walk and the
soldiers were forced to carry him up
This he treated as a great joke and
chaffed the soldiers for not carrying
him more gently. Arrived at the top,
two of the condemned men started a
heated discussion as to which one
should be beheaded last. These two
men, Wong, the second chief of the
band, and a man named Liu, were the
to see the other ones head taken Off
Liu claimed that Wong, being the
chief, ought to be executed first, but
Wong claimed that it was his right
as superior officer to see the fun at his
subordinates' expense. Finally it was
arranged with the assistance of the
Chinese officers that the third man
should be executed first, Wong second
and Lin third.
This being satisfactorily arranged,
Wong asked to be allowed to have a
last look around the country and made
a few facetious remarks and then
started to sing Chinese song. See
ing some foreigners present he then
turned round and remarked to one Of
them, Hi, you foreign man. give us
a foreign song The foreigner ex-
pressed his inability, so Liu struck up
a native ditty and the trio prepared
for execution. On stripping off their
garments the means by which the conf
fessions, on the strength OF which the
men were to die. had been obtained
were evident, as their backs were hor-
ribly lacerated and death was possibly
far preferable to the tortures which
they had undergone.
1.-The leader, Wong. in his confession
stated that he had acted as a scout for
the Japanese but as they had not paid
him for his work he had taken up the
bandit business of his own account.
There was much more describing the
raiding of villages, the holding up of
merchants and the driving off of cattle
and horses. That he had been in the
employ Of the Japanese is quite GER
tain, for the writer has seen him in
Sinm!ntun with a band of his fellows
accompanied by Japanese officers and
carry ing a Japanese banner. He was
then wearing green badge on his
arm with a white centerpiece with
red dot on it and some Japanese char
acters, the badge of scout in the
service"
