time in the government of human be-

fraught with as great danger as the

Raboon Switch Tender.

Until quite recently there was a
baboon acting as switch tender on
one of the railroads in South Afri-
ca. He was a powerful animal.
nicknamed Geese. and was the prop
erty of native switchman. He had
been taught to turn the switch at
points while his master looked on,
but he soon showed such intelli-
gence in the work that he came to do
it alone, locking the rod and other
details as well as man. The engin-
GERS did not object to his ministra-
tions and had great confidence in his
ability. He would often jump on
the shifting engine as it passed on its
way to move cars about the yard, but
only after he had opened the switch
for it. But as soon as the story of
the baboon's work came to the ears
Df officials they were forced to
bounce" Geese for fear of popular
indignation among the patrons of the
road. who might object TO their safe
y being in the hands of a baboon.

THE OLD STORY.


A few days ago John Burrows was
sent TO the almshouse on Blackwell's
island. New York. Such a statement
does not possess elements of unusual
interest until the reader knows who
John Burrows is. or rather. what he
was. He was at one time a favorite
and favored contractor of the late
Bill Tweed" One of Burrows con-
tracts was the repairing of the Lud-
low street jail. where his political
master afterward languished as a
prisoner.
The contractor was perhaps just
as bad as his master-no worse. AS
result of his inside opportunities
the contractor became financially
wealthy and politically powerful, and
in the wild sweep of Tweed's manipu
lations he was carried along with
the tide of success as one of the
best agencies of graft in the employ
of the industrious and versatile
boss
The same retribution which over
took his chief soon after set out up
on the trail of the subordinate, and
the old story of easily obtained
means going easily was not long in
being wrought out in its fullness, for
the tickle fortune which encouraged
the Tweed gang to steal lured them
TO disburse as recklessly.
Back-possibly far back-behind
tho pf11ad throne of tho tr1nnfffra1
chief and colossal thief. looming
above the ranks of his eager hench-
men, stood justice, untrammeled by
scales or sword, but armed with
club long enough to reach any of
them, and heavy enough to whack all
bunch.
That she whacked their guilty
heads one at a time, of course, rem
dered the process slow, but she
seemed to warm to her work and de-
light in her task. Some escaped with
their booty for many years. among
them the erstwhile contractor who
has just reached the humblest abode
known among men-a public charge
upon the community he helped to
rob. and whose means he squandered.
But the path of dishonesty is one
feature of life in which the race is
o the swift. and retribution some
lines works through the natural ten
dencies of the offender.
Who can portray the intensity of
bitterness which racks the mind of
one who has sought success by
,rampling upon the rights of his fell
low citizens. transcending all right
conceptions of moral obligation, and
hiding from the glare of the noon
lay of life beneath the shadow of
shame, only to be defeated at last?
1t is well for the history of this
,ountry that most of the representa-
ives of this class of patriots are to
je found, in this era of the coun-
rvs success, in the public charge
either the penal or charitable insti-
utions. The inclination to such
hings, like the flames from long bur
ed embers, breaks forth fitfully al
ines. but the public is on the watch.
rhe stately lady with the club is at
hand. and the impulse to steal is
generally and effectually discouraged

SwoaE BY Hrs EAR.-The unedu-
Gated peasants In the Cherson prov
ince Of Russia have an extraordinary
belief that the czar has only one. ear.
They are confirmed in their belief
by pictures and photographs Of the
czar showing side face view and
naturally exhibiting only one ear.
They account for the absence Of the
other in the following manner:
Some time ago, they say, a depu-
tation from their province waited up
on the czar, and In the course Of the
meeting the czar is said to have
stated that all Russian lands would
be divided equally among the peas
ants Of the various districts.
To this one Of the deputation bold
ly said:
LAS sure as you cannot see your
own ears you will not divide the land"
The cars reply to this was to cut
off one Of his (the czar's) ears, which
he placed upon the table, remarking
as he did so:
"As surely as l now see my ear
will divide the land"
To this day the Cherson peasants
firmly believe that he has only one
ear, and unless the czar visits them
In person and proves to them by OPP
tical demonstration that he possesses
the col rect number, this extraordinary
belief will not be shaken.-London

IVAN THE TERRIBLE.
Barbarie Gear Who Loved to Burn,
Boil and Torture His Subjects.

Barbarie Gear Who Loved to Burn,
Boil and Torture His Subjects.
Some Of the reasons why Ivan, czar
Of Russia, was called "the Terrible"
have been retold by X. Waliszewski
in his book. Persons who displeased
him he would saw asunder by the con-
stant rubbing Of a rope arousd their
waists or sprinkle alternately with ice
cold and boiling water. He marked
his sense Of bad jest by deluging the
perpetrator with boiling soup and then
running him through with knife. He
rebuked an unmannerly envoy by
summoning a carpenter and ordering
him to nail the mans hat on his head.
There were also wholesale orgies, as
at the punishment Of Novgorod, when
he had hundred persons roasted over
slow fire by new and ingenious
process and then run down on sledges
into the river to be drowned. At Mos
cow the czar had a disappointment.
There was to be a great execution Of
300 victims who had already been tor
tured to the last extremity, and loyal
subjects had been summoned to the
function. To Ivan's astonishment the
great square was empty. The instru-
ments Of torture that stood ready-the
stoves and redhot pinchers and iron
claws and needles, the cords, the great
coppers full Of boiling water-had fall
ed to attract this time.
But there had been too much Of this
sort Of thing lately, and the execution
ers were growing too long armed. Ev-
cry man sought to hide deeper than
his neighbor. The cZar had to send re-
assuring messages all over the town.
Come along! Don't be afraid! Nobody
will be hurt!' At last out Of cellars
and garrets the necessary spectators
were tempted forth, and forthwith
Ivan, inexhaustible and quite un-
abashed, began a lengthy speech.
tors? But he had promised to be mer-
ciful, and he would keep his word!
Out of the 300 who had been sentenced
1S0 should have their lives!" Torture
and execution were, however, in the
case Of Ivan very much more than the
mere instruments Of barbaric Justice.
They were his recreation and delight.
AS boy his amusement was to throw
dogs down from the top Of one Of the
castle terraces and watch their dying

NAPoLEoN's ARAB CHARGER.
Stuffed Horse in tho Military Museum
Believed to Be the Relic.

Many rumors have been floating
about Paris lately concerning the dis
covery of Napoleon's famous white
Arab, which carried him through so
many victorious campaigns. For
some time 1t was imagined that these
reports were baseless, but they are
at any rate, founded upon the actual
existence Of a stuffed horse which Is
now In the military museum at the
Invalides, having been sent there
from the Honore by special order
issued last March. 1t appears that
this relic had originally got into the
possession Of a Mr.. Greaves, an Eng

relic to the National History Socie-
ty Of Manchester in 1912.

which contained 1t. It might be

would have been carefully preserved.
1t may have been. But, perhaps, the
outbreak Of the Franco-German war
and the preliminaries which led up to
that disastrous campaign obscured at
the moment the interest Of the gift or
possibly relic highly valued by the
emperor shared In the perils of his
subsequent fall and was saved from
destruction in the cellars Of his palace.
In any case, no one had heard Of the
relic at all until few days ago, and
even now the officials are so anxious
to avoid making a mistake that the
animal Is carefully screened from
every profane eye, and neither the
public nor the ordinary newspaper re-
porters are permitted to look at 1t.
The Louvre has, apparently, not yet
forgotten the tiara of Saitaphernes, |
and the military museum Of the In
valides awaits documentary evidence
from the Louvre officials before ad-
mitting that the horse Is genuine. 1t
