Thirteen years anxious scanning OF
every strange girls face, hoping against
hope it might be that of his long-lost
daughter has found a climax in Portland,
Ore, in that bitterest of disappointments
confidence that the missing one has been
located rudely broken by finding it is only
a chance resemblance. Albert Giants, for
merly of San Francisco, now discour-
aged, prematurely aged man. is the dis
appointed father; Loretta Ronald. who
came to Portland after the San Francisco
fire, is the double of what Mr.. Giants
daughter is supposed to be, If still alive
Loretta Giants, niece of Albert Giants and
cou5in of the lost girl, is the one who
thought she recognized the missing daugh-
ter in Miss Ronald and who arranged the
meeting that for a day cheered her uncle
with vain delusion. Albert Giants early
in 1893 had wife and beautiful 2-year-
old child in San Francisco. The wife
died, Giants had to 60 east Immediately
after to settle his mothers estate. and

LYNCHERS TO GO FREE.
Disagreement of Jury Results at
Springfield, Mo-, Trial.

After being out twenty-three hours, the
jury in the case of Doss Galbraith, charg-
ed with leading the mob which lynched
three negroes in Springfield, Mo-. on the
night of April IA, reported to the court
that no agreement could be reached and
was discharged. The jury stood ten for
acquittal and two for conviction through
twenty ballots. The Galbraith case was
reset upon the docket, but it is doubtful
if there will be another trial. The three
negroes were taken from Jail, hanged to
the statue of Liberty and then burned by
the mob because of an attack on white
woman. No negroes were on the streets
of the city after the jury retired and they
kept out of sight all day and night.

When You aSee Stnra.o

The man who, when struck violently on the head. says he saw stars" Is not far from telling the truth.
 The fact is that there Is a phosphor- CSC mt power in the eye which does not attract a persons attention under ordi- nary conditions, but which Is distrib- uted and reveals itself whenever the head gets a sudden shock, and some times even in the act of sneezing.
 A blow on the head results in q pressure of the blood vessels upon the rctina, causing either total darkness or faint blue light which floats before the eyes, and it is in this faint blue light the imagination discerns the thou sands of fantastic forms and figures that by general acceptance are termed stars; hence. while the astronomical display so frequently mentioned may be said to be entirely a creature of the Imagination, there Is at least some foundation for the idea.
 The true nature of the sensation is never very apparent. even to the vic tim, for the simple reason that 1t is in yariably experienced under circum- stances which render a searching in- irrespective investigation out of the question.

Sen GnlIs us Pirates,

There may Ec an advantage in birds living in colonies. but cannot sec how any other birt.s would want 10 live near q colony of gglls. A gull i'll his own country will steal like q politician aad -nuylar Ike pirate. They swarm about us like vultures after a battle. The minute our approach drove murre or cormorant from its nest the saintly looking scalawags swooped down to eat the eggs and young. While the gulls are freebooters and robbers on the island, it Is only when other birds are frightened from their nests that they have n chance to carry on their nefarious trade. Eternal wig ilance Is the price the latter pay for their eggs and young. Except when they are frightened by the approach of some person, their possessions are never left for an instant without a guard. But the fittest manage to sur vive on the rocks. and these gulls are the most useful birds in the bays and rivers about the waterfronts of our cities. They are valuable as scaven- gers and should be protected in every way. Three of them arc equal to buzzard. Ten of these gulls are equal to pig.-The World Today.

The Best Style Is the CIenrest.

Obscurity of manner has diverse or igins. It may appear in the writer who is overnice no less than in the writer who is careless. In spite of Browning and q few others we shall be safe if we stand by the aphorism of the French critic and believe that clarity of language and clarity of thought are never dissociated. After all, there is no need for anxiety if we cannot en- dure the rack of introspection to which the clevcrness of very modern writers would condemn us. Great genius has nearly always united profound ideas with very simple speech. Even in that most difficult art, the analysis of hu- man character, the highest achieve ments stand out in a frame of pellucid utterance.-London Spectator.
