AN APPROPRIATE HYMN.-There was
a certain young minister who came TO
grief while delivering his first sermon
He had dressed under a great deal
of excitement previous to entering the
church and neglected to fasten his
necktie down behind.
During the course of his sermon
the tie gradually slipped up over his
collar until nearly every one In the
congrega ton noticed his predicament
and smiled radiantly at the situation
Concluding his remarks. the young
minister, sparring for an opportunity
to adjust the tie. said. Let us join In
singing hymn No. S."
He had announced the hymn at ran
dom, not knowing the nature or the
words. The congregation turned to
the hymn. then gave a gasp and near

The hymn read. "Blest be the tie

But Callahan's nerve has failed him
only for the moment. There Is one
chance in ten thousand that the cir
cumambulating side track Is empty;
one and one only, and no way to make
Sure of 1t. Beyond the station, as CAL
lahan we'll knows, the siding comes
again into the main line, and the
switch Is a straight-rail safety" Once
again the thought Of his motherless
child fiickers into the engineers brain;
then he releases the air and throws his
weight backward upon the throttle
bar. Two gasps and heartbeat de-
eide 1t; and before the man in the ves-
tibule can level his weapon and fire,
the one-car train has shot around the
station, heaving and lurching over the
uneven rails of the siding. and grinding
shrilly over the points Of the safety
switch to race on the down grade to
Megilp.
At the mining-camp the station Is n
darkness save for the google eyes OF an
automobile drawn up beside the plat
form, and deep silence reigns but for
the muffied, irregular thud Of the auto
cars motor. But the beam of the 1,Ol0's
headlight shows the small station
building massed by men, score Of
them poising for spring to the plat
forms of the private car when the
slackening speed shall permit. A bull

the poising figures have swarmed upon

At this a man pushes his way out

to a seat beside the Chauffeur in the

AFRAID OF HIS SUBJECTS.
Why Former Gear Took Frequent
Trina "a Denmark.


Nicholas II, the present czar OF Rus
sia, while beset with many dangers,
remains within his own kingdom. In
this respect he shows "a little more
bravery than was characteristic OF his
father, Alexander III. The latter IRE
quently found 1t to his peace Of mind
to retire from his kingdom to haven
in Denmark on the outskirts Of Copen-
hagen. AS an excuse for these visits
Alexander III. presented the fact that
his wife, the czarina, was a daughter
of King Christian of Denmark, and
that Il was to visit his father-in-law.
rather than escape the nihilists that ne
went to Copenhagen.
The castle, or rather the villa, that
the Russian emperor occupied while In
Denmark was a little seven-room cot
tage. 1t was built by prominent
wholesale merchant In Denmark, but
owing to reverses In business he had
to sell the home. Alexander iii. was
the highest bidder for the property,
and the villa became his. 1t was close
to Friedensburg See, or the six-mile
lake that spreads itself before Fried
ensburg castle, the largest castle In
Denmark.
When the czar and his wife sought
peace and rest In Denmark the imper-
ial party was always accompanied by
two or three war ships. Their pres
ence with the royal yacht was more to
impress the Danes than anything else
because the kingdom Of King Chris
tian has ever been the one least IN
tested with anarchists. While In Den
mark the czar was always closely
watched by his own secret service, ana
with this protection he felt quite safe
in his little villa.
His manner while In Denmark was
democratic and he frequently walked
with the empress in Friedensburg gar
dens without any display Of guards.
Often he went for a sail on the little
lake In front Of the castle. and at such
times the rowboats Of the common
people were allowed close to the roy
al yacht. The car was frequently
seen on deck. and 1t seemed that while
In King Christians domains he was
not alarmed as to his safety. About
three months Of every year was spent
by the Russian crowned heads In Den
mark.
On the occasion of his visit In 1883
an incident occurred that showed the
disposition of Alexander III. He was
on board the royal yacht one afternoon
receiving many princes Of the blood
Among them was a prince Of England
With him was the present czar. Mich
olas II. The czar carried with him
two pedigreed Russian wolf hounds
The prince Of the English family In
sisted upon teasing one Of the hounds
Twice Car Alexander III. reproved the
boy for teasing his pet. The admoni-
ton, however. was unheeded.
Finally In a fit Of anger the dog
snapped and caught the arm of the
royal teaser in his jaws. The prince

FOR RArrLER's POISON.
Antidose Used by Msxieans and Sup.
posed to be Moki indians Remedy.

Supt B. F. Daniel Of the Territorial
prison. who has been in the city for the
last three days, says the Arizona Re-
publican, told while here OF certain
cure for the bite of the rattlesnake.
He had heard of It while he had
been engaged in mining in Mexico, and
since he became superintendent Of the
prison he has seen two or three Mext-
can convicts who had been cured and
who had the scars to show that they
had been bitten. On the hand Of one
of them was the trace Of centipede.
whose poison also yields to the reme-
dy. It's existence, however. Is not
widely known. even In Mexico, and Is
supposed to be entirely unknown out
Of that country.
There Is in every rattlesnake small
sac, about the size Of Mexican bean,
attached to the intestines. This is fill
ed with brownish or black fluid, and
that fluid Is the cure for the bite. II
1t Is applied Immediately the patient
will not even suffer any swelling and
will entirely avoid pain.
Many Mexicans carry the fluid with
them at all times when they are In
the mountains or on the desert. These
Mexicans kill all the rattlers they can
find. and most Of them store the fluid
In a bottle. made Of a rife cartridge
shell which is tightly corked.
In anatomical descriptions Of the
rattler no mention is made Of this
particular sac, though air sacs are
numerous In the intestines Of ali MEM
bers Of the snake family. But there
Is no doubt of the existence Of 1t, for
Mr.. Daniel said he had seen Mexicans
remove 1t frequently. :.
It may be that this fluid Is the secret
of the Moki Indians, and accounts for
the immunity that they enjoy from the
poison Of the rattler. Those who have
attended their annual snake dances and
have seen dancers bitten have wonder
ed that the bites were not fatal.
At any rate the secret Of the immu-
nifty Is one Of the most carefully guard
ed secrets Of the rites of the Mokis and
is kept within select order Of the
priesthood. Dr.. ]. Miller for years an
nally attended these dances and made
a study of the ceremonies. The In
dams formally adopted him not only
into the trib. but advanced him In the
priesthood. l'he doctor wanted chiefly
to learn the secret of the poison anti
dote, and he was told year after year
that the next year he would be put In
possession of the secret. But he died

The czar saw the act, and without a
word he rose from his steamer chair
and caught up the prince. AS II hand
ling a feather he tossed him over
board. Then he walked to the gang
way of his yacht and called the dog.
The wolf hound was lifted on deck by
the czar. But the prince received no
such attention. He was left to save
himself, and when he was fished into
the rowboat of a Danish peasant he
was nearly exhausted. Later he was
taken on the royal yacht, but was In
stantly sent to bed.
Although Czar Alexander III. was
son-in-law OF King Christian. he new
er missed a chance to impress the
Dane with the magnitude of his king
dom. More than once he dropped sar-
castle remarks upon the diminutive
possessions Of his father-in-law and
host. He once visited Danish castle
with King Christian. He was shown
many points Of interest from the tow
er. Suddenly the czar turned and ask
ed King Christian about certain
point that was within view.
King Christian felt that his royal
visitor knew full well that the point
In question was not in Denmark. He
replied to that effect.

King Christian was not little bit
mortified at what he felt was an In

to do so. When 1t was finished he sat
down again.

lays are always dangerous. You
spoke OF the receivership as being
part of a plan by which your road was
to be turned over TO an eastern mo-
nopoly. How nearly has that plan sue

Kent hesitated. not because he was
afraid to trust the man oliver Mars

things which the governor of the state
might feel called upon TO investigate
if the knowledge Of them were thrust
upon him. But In the end he took
counsel of utter frankness.

LAW ON INSANE PEOPLE.
Governor Receives a Report From
State Hospital.

State Hospital.
The report on the admission of nom
resident patients to the state hospital
for the insane was filed with Governor
Hayward today by DR.. B. w. Taylor,
president of the board of regents. and
Superintendent Babcock. The report
goes fully into the history of the mat
ter.
1t appears that until about ten years
ago practically no patient was refused
admission to the hospital so long as
there was room. Later, pay patients
not In the state were refused by d.
rection Of the board of regents. In
1901 Governor McSweeney correspond
ed with the authorities in North Car
olina and Georgia relative to alleged
South Carolinians in those states who
could not be admitted to their charita-
BILE institutions under existing laws.
The governor Of North Carolina, after
due consideration. decided to enter
into compact with Governor Nc
Sweeney relative to the removal OF
insane patients to their own states.
In 1902, upon the recommendation
Of Governor McSweeney, the general
assembly passed an act excluding nom
residents from the hospital and d.
recting the deportation from this state
Of such patients either to other states
or In the case Of foreigners their re-
movai from the United States through
the department Of state In Washing
ton. The report sets forth that In
spite Of this law there has been care
lessness on the part Of probate judges
In inquiring into the settlement" or
citizenship Of prospective patients.
Twenty-Five non-residents have been
received and thirteen such patients
are still inmates Of the hospital.
Now, the refusal Of patients Is con-
trary to the time honored traditions
of charity administration in South
Carolina, but with daily average Of
over 1850 patients In the hospital. ev-
cry available bed is In distinct asset

mans. Five hundred and twenty-seven
patients were received last year and
up to June 1st this year there were
223 new admissions, while Is new pa
tients were received the first four
days Of June.
Under the stress Of such circun-
stances the officers Of the hospital
call on the probate judges through the
governor to guard the interests OF the
state and hospital by refusing to send
to the hospital all prospective patients
who are not strictly citizens Of South
Carolina and by virtue Of this citizen
ship entitled to the charities OF the
state. Evidently the authorities at the
hospital have deferred the evil day
of excluding any unfortunates whose
cases are referred to them, but time
has arrived for rigidly enforcing the

CHAPTER xxx.
SUBIII SADIK.

The dawn of a new day was graying
over the capital city, and the newsboys
were crying Justify in the streets, when
David Kent felt his way up the dark
staircases of the Kittleton building TO
knock al the door Of Judge Oliver
Marston's rooms on the top floor. He
was the bearer Of tidings, and he made
no more than a formal excuse Tor the
unseemly hour when the door was
opened by the lieutenant-governor.
81 am sorry to disturb you. Judge
Marston," he began, when he had
closed the door at his back and was
facing the tall thin figure In flannel
dressing gown and slippers. but !
imagine I'm only few minutes ahead
of the crowd. Have you heard the
news of the night?"
The Judge pressed the button Of the
drop-light and waved his visitor TO
a chair.
Il have heard nothing, Mr.. Kent.
Have a cigar?"-passing the box OF
unutterable stogies.
Thank you: not before breakfast"
was the hasty reply. Then, without
another word of preface: Judge Mar
ston, for the time being you are the
governor Of the state, and | have come
to"
"One moment" interrupted his lis
tener. There are some stories that
read better for a foreword, however
brief. What has happened?"
This: last night it was the purpose
of Governor Bucks and Receiver Gull
ford to go to CASTOR by special train.
In some manner, which has not yet
been fully explained. there was a con-
fusion of orders. Instead of proceed
ing eastward, the special was switched
TO the tracks of the Western Division;
was made the first section of the fast
mail, which had orders to run through
without stop. You can imagine the
result"
Marston got upon his feet slowly and
began pacing the length Of the lone
room. Kent waited, and the shrill
cries of the newsboys fioated up and in
through the open windows. When the
Judge finally came back TO his chair
the saturnine face was gray and hag-
gard.
81 hope it was an accident that car
be clearly proved" he said: and
moment later: You spoke Of Bucks
and Guilford; were there others In
the private carr"
Two others: Halkett, and the gov
ernors private secretary"
And were they all killed."
A great light broke in upon Ken
when he saw how Marston had misap
pretended. Also, he saw how much i
would simplify matters If he shoult
be happy enough to catch the ball IL
the reactionary bound.
They are all alive and uninjured

slip from its shoulders.
