At q recent speaking a certain
candidate was unexpectedly asked
to what religious denomination he
belonged. There was no opportu'
nifty to prompt him, SO he had to
do the best he could to make an
answer satisfactory to his audi,
ence.
"WelI," he said, you asked me
an honest question and I'll give
you straightforward answer.
"My grandmother was Scotch
woman, a rigid Presbyterian" A
perceptible chill promptly fell over
the company.
"My grandfather was English, I"
he contiy ued, "and naturally an
L oiscopalian." A frown appear
ed on the forehead of the chill.
"My father believed in INNER,
sion, and was a good Baptist" he
resumed, looking anx;ously for the
verdict, only to see in shaking
heads that he had not struck it
yer.
The case was growing desperate.
He squared his shoulders, and
went on solemnly:
"My dear old mother, whom |
loved with my whole soul, was
Methodist" Instantly every face
was adorned with a luminant
smile, and in a burst of enthusi-
asm he concluded: "And, gentle
men, I followed the precepts OF
my dear old mother. | am
Methodist, and I don't care who
knows it,
The candidate was elected.

The Woman and the Diamond.

Omaha, so long dormant, has
risen for attention with a most Gu.
rious question of law. 1t bears a
certain resemblance to that inter-
esting argument concerning Shy
lock and his demand for the pound
of flesh.
In the modern instance a woman
is the central figure, and the suit
is for the recovery of a valuable
diamond which she swallowed and
involuntarily retains.
Some time ago a Miss Thomas
visited the jewelry store OF FINLEY
L. Combs and asked to be shown
some diamonds. The clerk pat
out a tray of gems, from which
Miss Thomas secretly abstracted
one worth $500. 1t was her inten'
cion, according to her confession,
to conceal the stone in her dress,
but when the detectives cornered
her she put it in her mouth and
swallowed it.
Now comes the interesting part
of the story. Fear of appendicitis
made her confess, and an X-ray
photograph showed the jewel rest
ing snugly at the proximal end OF
the vermiform appendix. With
this evidence, and the confession,
the real owner OF the diamond
went into court and demanded
restitution.
"The diamond is yours" said
the upright judge, "iust take it;
but if you resort to surgical opera,
ton against the woman's will, and
she dies, you will be held for muir
der"
The fair purloiner is still held
in Jail, and is SO terrified at the
prospect of an enforced operation
that she refuses to sleep for fear
the iailers will administer chlOro.
form and start mining operations
without further ado.
II will die before Til let them
operate on me!'' says the prison
er; and the jewelers. attorneys say
they will have the operation per
formed by force, on the ground
that it is necessary to save the
woman from death by appended
tbs.
Up to date, however, the WON
an has not developed a case OF in"
famed appendix, and the question
now is as to how long she may be
held pending a possible develop
ment Of the disease. The ieweler
says he will have her rearrested if
she is given her freedom, on the
ground of having stolen property
in her possession.
Each day that passes increases
the legal complexity and perplex.
ity of the case. 1t is plain that
the woman can not be held in jail
all the rest OF her natural lifetime,
and the ieweler cannot force her
to have appendicitis. If she leaves
prison, she will be unpublished;
vel with the evidence OF her guilt
inside her. If she develops ap,
pendicitis after she is discharged
from custody, and an operation re
suits in the recovery of the gem,
will it not belong to bert Surely
justice must be endowed with wit
to cope with such question.

James J. Hill, president OF the
Great Northern, has reawakened
interest in intensified farming in
his speech at the Minnesota state
fair. Not only were Mr.. HilPs
remarks full Of splendid academic
suggestions, but he enlarged the
scope OF his observations in rela-
ton to agriculture as the ultimate
salvation o. the country.
"Back to the soil'' has beer a
popular topic for economic discus
sion of late years in the United
States. The persistent trend OF
our population toward the cities
has created a menace to the very
source of our material prosperity.
The cIamoring activities OF urban
life have lured our youth from the
fields into the counting rooms and
factories. Today the cry is for
men to work upon the farms, and
the cry is unanswered.
Every year demonstrates more
clearly that, unless the evil is cor
rected, this menace may become
an actual peril.
The estimates OF Mr.. Hill place
the population OF the United States
twenty years hence at 125, 600, 900,
and before the middle of the cen
fury 200, 900, 600 must be provided
for. Not only will the added mil
lions require room and opportu-
nifty, but in a quarter OF a century,
Mr.. Hill predicts, our mineral re-
sources will have become SO near
ly exhausted thai the vast indus
tries now dependent upon them
must fall into minor place.
"National ideas must be read.
| iusted," said Mr.. Hill; "there
must be national revolt against
the worship of manufacture and
trade as the only forms of pro
gressive activity"
In the face of the decreasing i'm
portance of trade and manufacture
is the enormous increase in the
population that must have EN-.
ploymentA
That we have no intelligent con-
cepti6Hs of intensive farming, as
understood and practiced in Ger
many and France, cannot be de-
MED. Our agriculturists ar e
wasteful, reckless, extravagant
and lacking in real scientific
knowledge. III Japan, with soil,
climate and natural resources in
ferior to ours, on $4,000 tlllable
square miles more than 40, 900, 600
people are sustained. In t h e
/ United States the cultivable area
should comfortably support $50,
900, 900 people. But this vast OPP
portunity is being wasted through
the congestion in our cities, which
creates poverty, disease and allied
miseries to hundreds of thousands
of human beings who could find
physical, moral and material sal
walton in agricultural pursuits.
The remedy for this neglect Of
agricultural opportunities lies with
the government, thinks the rail
road magnate. He would estab.
lish model farms in every county,
there to demonstrate and expert
ment, so that every resource Of
the soil could be learned and
adopted. Perhaps as compile
ment to this method something
could be done to turn the tide OF
cityward people back to nature.
