The supreme court of the United States
Monday denied the petition of Former
United States Senator Burton of Kan
sas, for rehearing in the case IN
which he is under sentence of impris
onment and fine on the charge of ac'
cepting an attorney s fee in case in
which the government was interested
while he was serving as senator
The effect of the decision will be the
immediate Imprisonment of Burton I'M
less his attorneys devise some other
means of postponing the execution of
the sentence.
Cuba must pay the United States at
least a million dollars, it is estimated,
as the price of peace through inter

Not long ago The Meddler read
about a Massachusetts man who with
a number of other townspeople had
bought Of a travelling salesman a fire
proof receptacle in which TO keep pa
pcrs and other valuables. After the
man had paid his money and received
his purchase he determined to ascer-
tain its value. Consequently he filled
the box with newspapers and placed
it lust inside the door of his furnace,
According to the article which The
Mcddlcr read the man found a few
hours later that the papers had been
burned to crisp and the box itself
partially destroyed. Reliance cannot
always be placed on newspaper yarns
but this one is worth repeating in case
the d" fire proof agent has Brattlehoro
in his itinerary.

To be a successful automobile driver
one is obliged so authorities tell US,
to have considerable nerve. An in
stance occurred in Brattlehoro the 9th
or day which showed that an unusual
amount Of the attribute is in the pos
session of a local chauffeur. Starting
out with a company of friends for a
days touring the nervv one s car
broke down a short distance outside of
Brattleboro. and an examination
showed that repairs could not be made
in time to coutinne the trip. Undaunt-
ed bv such a trivial mishap the owner
walked back to town, borrowed a
friends machine for the alleged pur-
pose Of towing the disabled ear home,
loaded his friends into the borrowed
honk wagon and proceeded to take an
all.day trip in it.

A fond mother, in despair of breaking
her little boy Of swearing, at last threat
ened that the next time he used a bad
word she would Danish him from home
The very next day he exploded a big D.
Il am very sorry, Thomas" said the
mother, but 1 have never broken my

The nurse was instructed to pack Thorn
as little toy suit case, and he, without
a whimper, kissed his mother good-by
and departed.
Quite a way off Thomas set his burden
on the ground, and, perched solemnly on
the curb, chin In hands, fell in deep
drought. The spectacle was too much
for the fond mother, who was watching
him from a distance.
Very quietly she started down the
street and tiptoed up behind Master
Thomas As she was lowering on the
point of surprising him with a kiss, a
pompous old gentleman appeared.

| POOR EXCUSE.

William Garland, "a years old, claim
ing to be the son of a former attorney
general of the United States. was ar
rested in Chicago the other day because
he was suspected of completely in the
robbery of some jewelry stores. A
stocking with a stone in it 7as found in
his possession. The young man readily
admitted that he had decided to be-
come a robber. He described his down
fall as Just a case Of hard luck, with
no excuses to offer"
There must be some better reason
for the downfall Of Garland Nothing
IL his story indicates that he has suf-
fered from Ill health. He is said to be a
graduate Of a well known college and
to have plenty of intelligence. On the
surface there is nothing to show that
he has had any hard luck. It is impos-
sible to believe that 1t is necessary for
an able-bodied, we'll educated young
man to become a thief in order to live.
The trouble with Garland probably
was that he was unwilling to do work
that would have earned him a living.
&c was too proud to sweep out a store,
to clean cuspidors, to dig in a ditch or
to do the thousand things that many
men would do before they would starve
or steal In this great country there is
abundant opportunity for every strong
man who desires to do so to earn an
honest living. In ninety-nine cases out
of a hundred the man who steals does
so because he is a moral pervert, and
not because he is driven to it by neces-
sity.
This republic was not built by men
who sought to pick and choose their
employment. It's foundations were laid
by men who were willing to perform
whatever labor came to their hands,
who did not feel that they were debased
by any sort of honest toll Plenty of
college graduates have dug in bitches,
have waited on tables, scrubbed floors
and done other work commonly, but
mistakenly, classed as mental. Men
of that type do not spend their lives dig
ging in bitches, waiting on tables and
scrubbing floors. They soon rise to bet
ter things.
According to his own story, young
Garland must be a very ordinary
scamp.

AROUND THE WORLD TICKET.

Americans are justly proud of talk
ing of their great transportation sys-
TENS. many of them extending for
thousands of miles under one man
agement But the story of the trip
recently undertaken by Fred Shaugh-
messy, son Of the president of the Can
adam Pacific, is calculated to take US
down a peg. To Mr.. Shaughnessy was
recently issued a simple card ticket
reading, Montreal, Canada, to Mont
real, Canada, via st. John, Liverpool
Cape Town, SiTs pore, Hongkong,
Yokohama and Vancouver, by Can
adam Pacific railway and steamship
Ines"
That is to say, Mr.. Shaughnessy
viii completely circle the globe on a
ticket issued by the Canadian Pacific
for transportation over its lines ex-
clusively. The trip will occupy a pc
Rod of four months. The ticket con-
tains nineteen squares for conductors
to punch and the names Of six foreign
cities which the pursers Of steamers
are to cross out with ink on the date
of the departure Of the passenger from
those points. The whole thing is alb
surdly simple.
This around-the-worId ticket can be
carried in a vest pocket. Compare it
with the bulk of a ticket from Salt
Lake City to New York and return.
There is enough of the latter to wrap
around an average mans body about
twice, and it contains enough reading
matter to make anybody hesitate be-
fore attempting to wade through it.
In addition to the magnitude of the
| Canadian Pacific system it would
seem that the officials Of its lines could
teach US something about simplicity in
railroad tickets.

an equivalent therefor. Why? The
collectors letter, which is attached to
and made a part of the complaint, does
not explain. 1t merely says:
Il have to state that twenty cigars is
an illegal package, and thirteen being
the legal amount that can be packed in
this country, that amount was sent on
to you and the balance of seven cigars
destroyed as required by the govern
ment''
The importer is thoroughly justified
in wanting to know why his seven
cigars were destroyed. Why is pack
age Of twenty made Illegal? Are all
cigars imported in boxes of only thir-
teer Do the big importers bring in
JUS thirteen cigars at time, or multi
pies Of thirteen?

SOLVING A PROBLEM.

It is time to stop the agitation over
the question asked by The Herald:
How cold must it be to be twice as
cold as two degrees above zero?" A
great many people have spent some
hours of worry over the problem. They
have covered fair pages of paper with
figures Of a more or less cabalistic
character. Now the editorial depart
ment has had no talk with the weather
perfectly free to explain to everybody
how easy It is to solve the problem and
win the money reward.
Today, as soon as you read this, get
an ordinary household refrigerator. Fill
it with crushed ice. In the can where
you would ordinarily place cream to be
frozen, put a common thermometer. It
is not necessary to have a clinical Their
mometer, though some prefer one and,
If you happen to have il about the
house, use it by all means. Place, as we
have said, the thermometer in the re-
ceptacle ordinarily used for cream.
Then turn the handle of the freezer
you have finished that, turn the ham
die gently to the left nine times.
Now raise the lid Of the can and ex-
anime the thermometer. You viii OBJ
serve that the mercury has reached
toward the bulb. This is not a phe-
nomenon. Mercury contracts with cold.
Therefore il is normal for the stuff to
glide toward the bulb when the tenn
perature falls. Having observed for
yourself the correctness Of this theory,
return the thermometer to the can, re-
place the lid and turn the handle of the
freezer eleven times to the right Be
sure to turn the handle around. a per-
pendicular motion would interfere seri-
OusIy with the success of the experi-
ment. It might also interfere seriously
with the future usefulness Of the ice
cream freezer.
After turning the handle eleven times
10 the right, turn it quickly to the left
four and One-haIf times Once again
you raise the lid You will not be
startled if you find that the mercury
has contracted a great deal more. Re
peat the turning, alternating between
the left and the right in the proportion
Of % to II, for from twenty to twenty
two hours, adding more cracked ice.
favored with garden salt, as needed.
Presently you will find. if YOU keen
looking, that the thermometer stands at
. degrees above zero.
The rest is so easy we wonder that
nobody thought of it at once. Simply
keep turning the handle of the freezer
until you compel the thermometer to
register temperature twice as cold as
degrees above zero. Withdraw il
quickly from, the freezer, note the re-
suit on a sheet of clean paper, using
only one side. and send it at once to
this office. We make no charge what
ever for the advice

CURIOSITY OF THE TARIFF.

wouldn't 1t make you mad if a friend
in Cuba should send you a box contain
ing twenty fine cigars, and you should
receive a notice from the customs col
lector giving the amount Of the duty.
and you should send the full amount
and receive later a box containing. only
thirteen cigars? And then, when YOU
had written the collector a hot letter
about il and you received from him a
polite reply to the effect that the seven
cigars had been confiscated and de-
stroyed because twenty is an illegal
package, wouldn't you be mad?
That's the situation an indignant cit
izen who writes to the New York Times
finds himself in. He subscribes himself
'Perplexed," and he may well be per
picked. sHe is quite sure the govern
ment doesn't confiscate all over thir-
teen cigars imported at one time by
the large dealers. Naturally, he rises
to inquire If it is a crime to import
only a few cigars. The suggestion is
made that his trouble grows out of the
fact that he used the malls instead of
one Of the steamship or express com
panies.
For a man to pay a duty or fine on
twenty cigars and receive only thirteen
does seem like a case Of rank injus-
tice. The amount involved is trihing,
of course, but the principle remains the
same. This American citizen, because
of the curious workings of our customs
regulations, is compelled to pay the
