TRY THE BRIGHT SIDE

Accept cheerful views.
This may SOUND flippant but II Is to
the point.
The san Francisco disaster-thc
brief nCtc Of the awful occurrence. the
period Of suspense with all avenues OF
communication evidently cut OF. and
finally the confirmation OF many of tho
worst features OF destruction to prop
erty-have had most depressing effect
on the people OF this town. Many have
dear friends and relatives In the wreck

state Of public mind which Is pltogeth-

Natural though II be, II Is the part
OF thoughtful, well-balanCCd men and
women to shake themselves clear OF
the clouds OF sorrow and depression
Cease exclusive contemplation of the
dark side. 1t Is bad enough without;

1t beggars description, but that
Is no reason why our people
should stand around on the street
corners and allow themselves to be
brought to sort Of a pessimistic stand

Every disaster in the United States
has always been followed by an i'm

not be lacking. Courage has not been
stricken from the character of the

may tremble at the possibilities Of
those happenings which are SO far be-

He Made Allowance.

A French journal reports the case
of man who entered coffee house
and sat down near a customer who
was reading the morning newspaper
which belonged to the establish
ment.
CATER you with the paper, if you
please" said the newcomer.
The other man nodded assent and
went on reading, but at the end of
half an hour had hardly finished the
first column. Just as the waiting
customer was about making a sec
ond and perhaps impatient applica-
ton, he noticed that the reader had
lost one of his organs of sight. His
resentment vanished.
"Ah," said he in a low voice, 81

has only one eye and has to read
everything twice over"

Adding Insult to Injury

1t is bad enough to have a red
nose, as many entirely irreproach-
able women have, to their intense
modification, but to be guyed and
swindled when one attempts to cor
rect the deformity must be simply
intolerable. "How to cure red noses
permanently; absolute secrecy;
send" etc., is an advertisement that,
appearing only recently in a London
paper, aroused great interest among
a large circle of unfortunates. When
those women whose noses, from one
cause or another, were pinker than
they thought proper eagerly opened
their stamped envelopes this was
what they read, go on drinking IN
til it becomes purple.

OLD TIME PosTMASTERS.
They Were Called Upon to Do All Man
ner of Queer Things.

| ncT OI &NOCi
The modern postmaster may
think he has troubles of his own,
but there was time, along about
1917, when he was called upon to
do all manner of queer things. For
instance, in rummaging through an
old trunk a venerable resident Of
Washington recently unearthed an
age stained pamphlet which an
nounced the Inauguration of a ''new
daily and thrice a week paper" to
be printed "at the seat of govern
ment." The announcement was
dated April 5, 1917, and after a
voluminous exposition of the viz
tues Of the proposed paper the e. 1
itor to be said:
"Postmasters are hereby authc +
lied to receive subscriptions for t J
Gazette, and for all moneys collee
ed and transmitted to the editor, q
the city Of Washington, discourt
of 10 per cent will be allowed. DisH
tant subscribers will have their paf
pers carefully packed and punctuaE
ly forwarded to order" 4
Then follows set of blank spac
where the postmaster might appe
the names of the subscribers. T
entire pamphlet was complete, a,
copy was sent, presumably to eve
postmaster in the then Unit
States. If every postmaster cou
thus be used as a mail order agen'
in these days of strenuous competAV
ton what a variety of duties they
would be called upon to perform.
But under the system that then ex-
listed this method was entirely prop
er, and it is said that the postmas
tiers made considerable revenue
from these sources. Needless to say
this was before the days of the now
celebrated ''fraud order" which the
postof1ice department issues with
every returning sun.
But getting back to the ''pros
pectus." 1t is a weird affair, won
derfulIy and fearfully made. It
actually states that ga competent
reporter will be employed to furnish
the proceedings Of congress for the
Gazette" and that all Interesting
articles of intelligence will be care
fully selected and published" When
it says that call public documents
and state papers will be printed at
full length" one is Immediately re-
minded of the Congressional Rec
ord, a publication that has been
without a rival in the memory Of
man.
1t is also interesting that the ed
itor to be, one Jonathan Elliott,
advertised in April that he would
start a paper in October. And he
expected all these subscriptions to
be Forthcoming, evidently before
the paper was established.-New
Haven Union.

A Ruse of Childhood.

A local business man was remi-
niscent over his boyhood the other
day, says an exchange. every
morning before school [ had to 60
out on the farm to hoe potatoes
with father. We lived on a farm,
you know. The potato patch was
not great distance from the house,
and [ was supposed to stay there un-
til mother called me to come in,
when it was time to dress for school.
1t wouldn't be long, of course, until
I got tired. Then I'd watch father
out of the corner of my eye until
he seemed engrossed in what he was
doing, then I'd turn toward the
house and yell, All rightp throw
down my hoe and run for home.
Mother was supposed to have called
me to school. Father just thought
he didn't hear her. I worked that
right along, and, for all 1 know, he
hasn't found it out yet"

FIRST CASE OF LYNCH LAW.
The Hanging of Murderer by His
Father In ireland.


Z So many different versions and
explanations Of the term lynch law
have at various times been given
and occasionally are even yet added
to that it seems fitting to recount
the tragic incident which has since
given a name to SO many calamitous
occurrences not only in our land,
but on occasion also in that of 9TH
ers.
The very name of Lynch" gives
the direct clew to the land of its
origin-Ireland. Thackeray in his
E1rish Sketch Book" in Chapter /,
which treats of Galway, thus speaks
of an occurrence within its precincts
which in 1912 bore the grewsome
"memento" SO grimly described in
the words following:
"Then there is Lombard street,
otherwise called Dead Mans lane"
with raw head and crossbones and
memento mort over the door
where the dreadful tragedy of the
Lynches was acted in 1893. If Gal
way is the Rome of Connaught,
James Fitzstephen Lynch, the may
or, may be considered as the Luclus
Junius Brutus thereof. Lynch had
son who went to Spain as master
of one of his fathers ships and, be-
ing of a wild, extravagant turn,
there contracted debts, drew bills
and alarmed his fathers CORE
spondent, who sent clerk and
nephew of his own back in young
Lynch's ship to Galway to settle ac-
counts. On the fifteenth day young
Lynch threw the Spaniard over
board. Coming back to his own
country, he reformed his life a little
and was on the point of marrying
one of the Blakes, Burkes or Bod
kills or others when seaman who
had sailed with him, being on the
point of death, confessed the MUIR
der in which he had been a partici-
pator.
thereon the father, who was
chief magistrate of the town, tried
his son and sentenced him to death,
and when the clan Lynch rose in a
body to rescue the young man and
divert such disgrace from the fam
lily it is said that Fitzstephen Lynch
hanged the culprit with his own
hands. A tragedy called 'The
Warden of Galway has been written
on the subject and was acted a few
nights before my arrival" = New
York Times.

One Thina at a Time.

The last king of Hanover, before
that state was incorporated into the
Prussian kingdom, was for many
years blind. There was living at
the court an English lady, Mrs. Dun
can Stewart, who, with her wit and
learning, entertained his majesty.
The blind king delighted in her con-
versation, and for many years she
would save up every interesting
story she heard so as to tell it to
him. 1t is remembered that one
day she was telling him story as
they were out driving together.
Suddenly the horses started and the
carriage seemed about to upset.
"Why do you not go on with your
story ?" said the king.
Because, sir, the carriage is just
going to upset"
"That is the coachman's affair, "
said the king. "Do you go on with
your story"

Discovery Of Glass Etching.

The art of etching from glass was
discovered by Nuremberg glass
cutter. By accident a few drops of
aqua FORTS fell upon his spectacles.
He noticed that they became corrod-
ed and softened where the acid had
touched. That was hint enough.
He drew figures upon glass with
yarnish, applied corroding fluid,
then cut away the glass around the
drawing. When the varnish was
removed. the figures appeared raised
upon q dark ground.

Whom the Gods Love.

"Whom the gods love die young"
is an adage which has come down to
us from the stoics, who believed that
frightening years invariably meant
increase of sorrow and misery.
There is a story told of a mother in
Athens who, having rendered the
gods some service, was assured that
any petition she offered would be
heard and answered. She prayed
for her three sons the best gift the
gods could bestow. The next morn
ing they were all found dead.
