Ani,naIs That yVeep.

Travellers through the Syrian desert
have seen horses weep from thirst, a
mule has been seen to cry from the
pains OF an injured foot, and camels.
It Is said, shed tears in streams. a
COW sold by Its mistress who had
tended It from calfhood Wept pitifully.
a young sok0 ape used to cry from
vexation IL Livingstone didn't nurse It
In his arms when 1t asked him to.
Wounded apes have died crying. and
apes have wept over their young ones
slain by hunters. A chimpanzee train
ed to carry water jugs broke one and
fell a-crying. which proved sorrow,
though it wouldn't mend the jug. Rats,
discovering their young drowned, have
been moved to tears Of grief A giraffe
which a huntsman's rife had injured
began to cry when approached. Sea
lions often weep over the loss Of their
young. Gordon Cumming observed
tears trickling down the face Of q
dying elephant. And even an orang
outang when deprived Of its mango
was SO vexed that it took to weeping.
There Is little doubt, therefore. that
animals do cry from grief or weep
from pain or annoyance. = Harper's
Weekly.

Went Uncnlled For.

Deacon Eden Libby Of Bridgton,
Me-, was man of rugged virtues and
indomitable will. Some winters ago
while working In his wood lot he cut
his foot badly, but, bandaging the
wound roughly and putting snow into
his boot to stop the bleeding, contin-
ued at his work until nightfall. Sad
to relate, he took cold, and death re-
suited few days later. A local char
acter named Farrar was clerk and gen
eral utility man at the Cumberland
House in Bridgton village at that time
and was accustomed to make note on
the hotel register from day to day Of
local events-the weather, etc. In his
chronicle of this sad event he wished
to indicate that Deacon Libby's death
was unnecessary. The following may
be seen today on one of the old regis
tiers at the Cumberland House:
Deacon Eden Libby died today. He
cut bis foot badly, did not have the
wound attended to and went to meet
his God uncalled for"

The Irascible Bismarcks.

ferocious mastiff. She, far from re.
straining him, kept on saying: "Good

words. The mastiff that lay below the

Jane and Bill Bismarck could not be

Sir Walter scott's First Brief,

Sir Walter Scott had his share of the
usual curious experiences shortly after
being called to the bar His first ap-
pearance as counsel in criminal court
was at Jedburgh assizes in 1893, when
he successfully defended a veteran
poacher. you're a+,lucky scoundrel,"
Scott whispered to his client when the
verdict was given. I'm just O. your
mind" returned the latter, "and I'll
send you maukin Il. e., hare) the
morn, man." Lockhart, who narrates
the incident, omits to add whether the
maukin duly reached Scott, but no
doubt 1t did. On another occasion Scott
was less successful in his defense of a
housebreaker, but the culprit, grateful
for bis counseps exertions, gave him, in
lieu Of the orthodox fee, which he was
unable to pay, this piece Of advice, to
the value Of which he the housebreak
cry could professionally attest: First,
never to have large watchdog out OF
doors, but to keep little yelping ter.
rier within, and, secondly, to put no
trust in nice, clever, gimcrack locks,
but to pin his faith to huge old heavy
one with rusty key. Scott long re-
membered this incident, and thirty
years later, at judges dinner at Jed.

The Machine Worker.

The American boy Is thoroughly i'm
bued with the get-rich-quick spirit,
whether in greater or lesser degree.
The learning Of trade is too slow,
too tedious and offers too little immedi-
ate inducement. Why should he work
as an apprentice at to 8 cents an
hour after reaching the age Of seven

chine? Once he has entered the door
of the piecework shop the boy is doom
ed to the pieceWorker's life. Once the
machine gets it's grip upon him he new
er escapes. The rare exception only
proves the rule. Not only does the
monotony Of the reduplicative work
upon which he enters choke his ambi-
ton and devitalize his life, but usually
he enters upon this narrow life work

Seven In the Bible,

The number seven plays prominent
part in events in the Bible. The crea
ton took six days, and on the seventh
there was rest. On the seventh day of
the seventh month a holy observance
was ordained, and the Israelites feast
ed seven days and rested seven days.
Noah had seven days warning Of the
flood, and the seven years Of plenty
were foretold in Pharaoh's dream by
seven fat beasts, as were the seven
years by seYen lean beasts. We speak
Of the seveEheavens, and the seventh
son was supposed to be endowed with
pre-eminent wisdom. In short, there is
no other number which enters into the
Bible SO often as seven. No doubt the
wide popularity Of the number and the
superstitions which are connected with
It came from it's wide use in the Bible

robbing, but was respited until Feb

There was no positive proof al
though all available evidence pointed

believe that he should not be executed
unless the fact that he killed the old
negress is established beyond the least

The pardon board will be asked

being circulated for the signatures OF
the grand jury who indicted him, the

The murder was one of the fOuIest
ever committed in the county, and the

many believe there is possibility that
he did not commit the crime.

COURT DISMISSED CHARGES
j. S. FARNUM is EXONERATEDB BY
HIGHEST CAROLINA TRIBUNAL.

Proceedings Concerning the Noted
Dispensary Letters Are at an End.
TRYING to Find Other Papers.
The friends in Dawson of Mr.. J. S.
Farnum will be pleased to learn that
the supreme court of South Carolina
has issued an order which relieves
him of any contempt of court in fail
ing to turn over certain letters to the
dispensary investigating committee
that were claimed to be in his poses
sion.
Mr.. Farnum, who held high and
responsible position in connection
with the South Carolina dispensary
system, was cited to appear before the
supreme court and show why he should
not be punished for contempt for
failure to turn over to a legislative
investigating committee certain papers
and letters alleged to be in his pos
session. The court, in its order, says:
Heretofore this court granted an
order requiring the respondent to pro-
duce certain letters and papers relat-
ing to dispeusary No, Il in the city of
Charleston.
"In pursuance of said order the re-
spondent produced certain letters and
papers stating that they were all that
we're in his possession at the Jlme sald
order was granted.
afterwards another order was is
sued by this court requiring the re-
spOndent to show cause why he should
not be attached for contempt OF court
in failing to obey its mandate.
'The respondent made return to the
effect that he did not have at the time
the original order was issued any let
tiers or papers in his possession Of the
character described in the petitioner
except those heretofore produced.
''The court will not issue another
order requiring the respondent to pro-
duce said letters and papers, but will
simply consider the question whether
the respondent should be adjudged in
contempt of court.
The return is verified, and there IS
no testimony to the effect that 1t is
false.
Under these circumstances it must
be accepted as true, and the rule dis
charged"
A dispatch from Columbia says the
decision was generally expected, and
Justice Jones remarked that he was
satisfied Mr.. Farnum was not in con-
tempt, and that it would not have been
right to have so ruled him on the
showing made.
1t is said that another examination
will be made by the Investigating com
mittee of the papers in the trunk with
Mr.. Farnum's counsel present, and it
is possible that other papers will be
produced not hitherto brought out by
the committee. Some move will prob
ably ke made ty the committee to get
possession of letters and papers that
they believe have bearing on the in
vestigation and are obtainable.
