The judges boyhood home was in a
small New England village, where he
had the reputation Of being a very
kind hearted and generous man. He
was always glad to see his old friends,
no matter how rustic they might be,
SAYS a writer in the Boston Herald.
On one occasion the judge had some
legal business in the capital Of his ma
tive State, and there met an old farmer
from his birthplace, who was taking
an unwonted holiday and looked rather
bewildered. The judge invited the old
man to dine with him at the hotel.
When the farmer took his seat at the
table ene Of the walters laid a bill Of
fare before him. The old man looked
at it, and then ttirning round to look
the waiter squarely in the face, he
said, in a tone that rang through the
dining room:

A LOST SECRET.
We Have Lost the Beauty that the
Ancients Possessed.

We Have Lost the Beauty that the
Ancients Possessed.
The beauty Of earth, except for some
spots that our sordid industries have
rayaged, has altered but little since the
days Of Augustus and Pericles, says
Maurice Maeterlinck in the Fortnightly
Review. The sea is infinite still, still
inyiolate. The forest, the plain, the har-
vest, the villages, rivers and streams,
the mountains, the dawn and the even
ing, stars and the sky-vary as these
all may according to climate and lati-
tude, offer us still the same spectacles
of grandeur and tenderness, the same
soft, profound harmonies, the same
fairy-lfke scenes Of changing complex
ity that they showed to the Athenian
citizens and the citizens Of Rome. Ma
ture remains more or less as it was
and, besides, we have grown more SEN
Sitiye, and to-day can admire more free
ly. But when we turn to the beauty
special to man, the beauty that is his
own immediate aim, we find that, ow-
ing, perhaps, to our too great wealth or
excessive application, to the scattering
of our efforts, lack Of concentration, or
to the want of a certain goal and an in
contestable starting point, we appear to
have lost almost all that the ancients
had been able to establish and make
their own. In all that regards purely
human esthetics, in what concerns our
body, our gestures, our clothes, the OBJ
jects we live with, our houses and gar
dens, our monuments, even our land
scapes, we are cropping so timidly, we
display such confusion and ineXperi-
ence, that one might truly believe our
occupation Of this planet to date but
from yesterday, and that we are still
at the very beginning of the period Of
adaptation. For the work of our hands
there exists no longer a common meas
ure, an accepted rule or conviction. Our
painters, our architects, our sculptOrs,
our men Of letters-and we in our
homes, our .cities-seek in a thousand
different contradictory directions for
the sure, the undeniable beauty that the
ancients possessed so fully. Should one
Of us by any chance create, Join to-
gether, or discover a few lines, a har-
mony Of form or color, that should in
contestably prove that the mysterious,
decisive point had been attained, it
would be regarded as the merest haz-
ard, as an isolated and precious phe-
nomenon, and neither the author nor
any one else would be able to repeat it.

EDUCATING WRONG PARTY.
o000ooo0~


Sir Wemyss Reid, in his Memoirs"
tells Of his only personal encounter with
the great Tory leader, Disraeli, after
ward Lord Beaconsfield. Sir Wemyss,
or Mr.. Reid, as he was in 1866, was at
that time journalist, and was sent to
Aylesbury to report Disraelis speech,
which was delivered in the Corn Tx
change.
The hall was crowded to excess. The
accommodation for the reporters was
quite unequal to their demands, and
had to stand among the crowd and take
my notes as best 1 could. A good.na-
tured farmer In front Of me invited me
to use his back as a desk, against which
1 placed my note book.
Disraelt had not proceeded very far
with his speech before found that my
friend was not by any means in agree
ment with the illustrious speaker Again
and again he interrupted him with ex-
carnations and questions.
For a long time Disraeli took no no
tice Of these Interruptions, but at last

had paused for a moment, and my
farmer friend, Selling his chance
bawled out In a stentorian voice:
What about educating your party? 2"
The prime minister instantly turned
round, raised his glass to his eye, and
with an angry and contemptuous glare
transfiXed-me! The farmers courage
had given way when he found that his
shot had told, and to my disgust he
dropped upon his knees, and left me to
face the music.
Disraeli looked at me for a peroepti-
Bile space Of time, and then, dropping
his glass, said, in those chilling tones
of which he was a master:
Il shall certainly not try to edu-
cate you, SIR"
Everybody stared at me; everybody
groaned at me; and it was only the con-
seriousness of my own innocence that
kept me from dropping on my knees
beside the treacherous author Of my hui
initiation.

Paderewsl1i,s NrusicaI BeI1bov

ROsamond johnson, Of Cole and
Johnson, composers of that once popu-
lar song, Under the Bamboo Tree"
once held a position as bellboy in
Young's Hotel in Boston. This place he
once nearly lost, through taking the lib
erty of playing Paderewski's f'Minuet"
for the great pianist. Paderewski, who
was staying at that hotel, had rung for
a bellbOy, and young Johnson answered
the CALL
Being SO fond of music, he made bold
to ask the great composer and pianist
to play the "Minuet' for him. Pad
erewski could not understand English
then, and the boy thought from his ges.
ticulatiOns that he wished him to play
it. So he sat down at the piano and
commenced playing. Paderewski's
manager happened to enter the room
just then, and, enraged at the bellboy's
presumption, threw him out of the room
and went directly to the management
and had him discharged.
As soon as he learned what had been
done, Paderewski, who had been
pleased with the lads playing, sent foI
the manager of the hotel and had John.
son reinstated in his position.-Suc.

People in Canbury were so well ac-
quainted with Miss LAWNS firmness
and with the excellence Of her cooking
that she had little difficulty in running
her restaurant exactly as she liked,
and filling it with thankful patrons
every day. But occasionally a stran-
ger and Wayfarer tried conclusions
with Miss LAWN, and was enlightened
as to her methods.
Il see you have a course luncheon
with soup, fish, salad and tea for %

The waitress shook her head.
Miss LAVA won't let you," she said,
promptly. "Those rolls are for the
folks that just take milk or coffee. If
you had them with the course luncheon,
folks that came in wouldn't know you
were paying extra; they'd think you
were favored"
Dear mel" said the wayfarer. "Then
you may bring a glass of milk and the
rolls
"Yes'm," said the waitress, who de-
parted and quickly returned with the
milk and rolls.
Nov will you tell Miss LAWN that
have decided I'd like the course lunch
con-" said the wayfarer, "and you may
take away the milk"
The waitress looked doubtful, but she
took the glass Of milk. In moment
she came back with it, and set it on the
table once more.
Miss LAWN says anybody's liable to
change her mind now and again." she
announced, land she's going to let you
have the course luncheon for this once !;
but she says the milk's got to stay here
so folks will understand, and she'd like
to have you drink it if you possibly
can"

LEGAL INFORMATION.

J
A will must be witnessed by at least
two persons. A person may draw his
or her own will. A will does not have
to be recorded.
Neither party can marry until the ev-
piration Of one year from the time the
divorce is granted. Divorce does not
affect the right Of children previously
born, to inherit the property Of their
parents.
If a woman dies leaving a husband
and one child, each takes one-half Of
the property. Either one has the right
to sell his or her interest in the prop
erty subject, of course, to the rights of
creditors.
If land is leased to a tenant who

| be brought against the tenant by the
owner Of the premises, who can recover
for damages caused.
A man has a right to sell his land, re-
serving to himself the right to all the
minerals and sufficient land surface to
mine the same. The purchaser, with
such deed, cannot do anything to pre-
vent the mining operations of the sell
er, If carried on in the usual manner.
If a purchaser does not wish to take
the chance Of having the surface Of his
| land disturbed, he should not take such
deed.
Land sold for taxes In Kansas may be
redeemed by the owner, his agent or at
torney, at any time within three years
from the day Of the sale, and at any
time before the execution Of the deed.
Before redeeming it is necessary to

tually measured the land, his statement
as to the number Of acres would be con-
sidered as a mere opinion, or belief, the
CORRECTNESS Of which might have been
acertained by the tenant, if he had ex-

complete the transaction, after terms
have been agreed upon with a pur-
chaser secured by the agent. If the
agreed price has been paid to an agent,

Every great city and many large
towns are confronted with the serious
problem Of the sanitary disposition Of
sewage. The effect Of the waste mat
ter Of one settlement on the water
supply Of it's neighbor, not felt in
wide, thinly populated country, grows
dangerous as communities by their in
crease approach one another. The prob
lem is complicated by the rapid increase
Of knowledge as to the sources and the
distribution of disease-germs Some
seaboard cities pump their sewage far
out in the salt water, which largely abb
serbs and reconVerts the dangerous
matter or precipitates 1t to the bottom.
But some Of the waste poisons sea
foods, notably oysters. Cities on great
rivers like the Mississippi send down
polluted water to the cities below. It
does not always reach those cities in
polluted state, for sunlight and air kill
the germs in flowing water, and at a
certain distance, depending upon the
sWiftness Of the current and the con-
sequent extent Of the exposure Of all
parts Of the water to light and air, it
is purified. Nevertheless, the only sure
safety lies In the absolute prohibition
Of discharge from sewers into any lakes
or streams with water connections, how
ever remote, to sources Of water supply.
1t is wiser to prevent pollution than to
try to purify polluted water by munich
pal filtration plants Prevention is bet
ter than cure, in the proYerbial relative
measure or any other, for prevention is
sure, and publication is not. There
is another side Of the question. Sew
age is valuable fertilizer. Long ago
Victor Hugo pointed out the riches that
the sewers Of Paris were throwing
away. The discharge from a great
city, properly treated, made into desic-
Gated fertilizer or pumped through ir-
rigation bitches into the surrounding
country, at a safe distance from streams
and lakes, enriches the soil and at the
same time is exposed to the purifying
effect of the sun. The barren plains
about Berlin have been turned into
rich farms by the city sewage. Other
European cities have taken similar
measures in the interests Of health and
economy.

HAZING BEFORE THE WAR.

~O~~~~~~~~

In the investigation of hazing at An
napolis the evidence which has caused
the most trouble has been that show
ing that upper classmen were using the
power Of their classes and organized
clans to force their juniors to seryile
obedience to ridiculous commands
servility which they cultivated by
threatening penalties and often impos-
ing them. There has always been some
form Of hazing at Annapolis, saws a
writer in the Boston Herald but in
the days before the Civil War it con-
sisted simply in schoolboy pranks,
played upon the cadets as individuals.
returned in kind by the victim with the
best of good will, and never attack
ing the self-respect Of anyone.
l arrived at the academy a green
country boy from Maine, and secured
room with a cadet from New York.
The first haZing was practiced on nv
companion. Broom strands were light
ed and stuck lightly into his leg as he
slept, and, being allowed to burn down
to the skin, walked him up with q sharp
sting. A group Of students in the door
way shouted with laughter and fed.
A group Of Southern fellows pestered
me to make abolition speeches, and
boxed, wrestled and pushed me about
on the green until called together a
group of my classmates to see fair play,
and then outboXed and conquered them,
one at a time.
One day 1 returned from leave to
find hen on top Of my dress uniform

BUILDING FOOD.
To Bring the Babies Around.


When a little human machine Cor
large one) goes wrong, nothing is SO
important as the selection of food to
bring it around again.
"My little baby boy fifteen months
old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever, and no soone> aad he got over
these than he began to cut teeth and,
being so weak, he was frequently
thrown into commissions" says a Color
ado mother.

took him to Kansas City for a visit.
When we got there he was so very weak
when he would cry he would sink away
and seemed like he would die.
"When l reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must feed
him Grape-Nuts, and, although 1 had
never used the food, we got some and
for few days gave him just the juice
of Grape-Nuts and milk. He got
stronger so quickly we were soon feed
ing him the Grape-Nuts itself, and in
a wonderfully short time he fattened
right up and became strong and we'll
''That showed me something worth
knowing and, when later on my girl
came, I raised her on Grape-Nuts and
she is a strong, healthy baby and has
been. You will see from the little pho

chubby youngster the boy is now. but
he didn't look anything like that before
we found this nourishing food. Grape
Nuts nourished him back to strength
when he was so weak he couldn't keep
any other food on his stomach" Name

boIl-worm, the gypsy and the brown
tail moths are examples. But no more
hopeless war was ever waged against
an animal pest than that Of the Austria
lians against the rabbit. In fact, the
trouble has increased SO much Of late
that we are told it is now "the general
opinion that the western country can
never be proftably occupied, even dur
ing the most favorable seasons, until
the rabbit pest has been subdued." One
large landowning company Melted In
two and half million acres Of pastoral
land, and treated half Of it for ten
months with every known means for
destroying rabbits, only to find when
operations ceased that rabbits were
more numerous in the area treated than
at the beginning. Nothing like this oc-
ours in nature. A pest which develops
naturally is always kept down by a
natural enemy. When man interferes
and introduces an animal without also
introducing its enemies, it sometimes
gets beyond his control.

ExnEodes When Ripe.

The Cigar bean" of Batavia is a
wild fruit recently discovered in that
island. The pod is like a cigar in shape
and color, but only an inch long, and
when put into water it rests on the
surface for several minutes, then ex-
plodes like a torpedo, hurting the seed
in all directions. If allowed to ripen
on the plant it splits open more sud.
denly. There are other tropical fruits
which explode in order to scatter their
seeds.

er that, until was invited by the same
fellows to go and beat Mason, a Yir-
ginian.
Each Of us-that is, Mason and L
carried a bag of boots. We were led
into a perfectly dark room. The rest
Of the fellows sat down, and Mason be-
gan belaboring me with the bag he
carried, while pounded him. We soon
had a scrimmage, dropped the bags and
wrestled, and in the darkness Mason
rolled downstairs. Later he came to
my room with the other men, and we
shook hands all around.
Another form Of hazing was to lift
the little iron bedsteads and turn them
bottom up, to tumble the sleeper on
the floor beneath the mattress. One
night / heard they were going to do
that to me, so 1 took a broomstick to
bed, and when they arrived, and, think
ing I was asleep, undertook to lift the
bed, I jumped up and drove them out
with some sharp stickwork.
Pulling, hauling and wrestling were
carried on on the green daily, without
bad temper or injury. There were &C.
casional fist fights, too, but such hazing
as we did was all in good fellowship
and injured no one.
If such attacks on the manhood Of a
cadet had been made as these courts
martial have brought to light, the class
mates Of the offended man would have
rallied round him and guaranteed fair
play while he forced an apology.

He stood upon the chilly pave,
The child with curly head,
Around him surged a human wave,
But ne'er a word he said.
He knew how swift the moments fly,
The crowd swayed to and fro;
He heard his mothers distant cry
Yet still he would not go.
The hours wore on, the boy was there,
He waited with the rest;
The curl had left the tangled hair
His mother oft caressed.
His little legs they felt like wood,
He knew twas after four,
Yet by the board he patient stood
And waited for the score
