How TO Land a Husband.

Atchinson Globe: Pick out your
man; and right there no one can give
you advise. A small meek looking
man may be the very hardest kind to
land. He is often timid and if the
angler becomes over bold he is fright
ened away and if she is backward he
escapes A great big man is frequent
ly landed without struggle. Flattery
goes a long way with him. A Jolly
good natured man is hard to land. He
laughs things off and before the fish,
erwoman knows it, is swimming on
the other side of the lake. A melan-
choly man is easy, if the angler will
have patience. and hold a steady line
drawing it in gently and by degrees.
But whatever man is chosen the ang-
Ter must not be sure that he is landed
until after the preacher has pronounc
ed the words: Let no man rent as
sunder." To begin with, she must
not make the mistake of telling friends
and kin folks that he is landed. They
will tell others and it Will get back
to him. The average husband elect is
terribly ashamed of his position, and
nothing but the words: 81 pronounce
you man and wife" overcomes his
notification The premature an
nouncement of prospective husband
landed, has lost many a girl a good
catch. A good angler will wind up
her line and put it away, without
mentioning her success to one human
being. She will not even whisper
prayers of thanksgiving, and before
the man knows he is landed he will
be kneeling before his captor while
some preacher murmurS a blessing
over their bent heads. The only
I'll ouble is this: The angler does not
breath who can keep from boasting.

COWARDS PUNISHED

Many of the devices by which military
indifference to life has been matured and
sustained are curious. In ancient athens
the public temples were closed to those
who refused military service, who de-
serted their ranks or lost their bucklers,
while law constrained such offenders to
sit for three days In the public forum
dressed in the garments OF women. Many

came back alive from defeat, and such

barred not only from public offices. but
from marriage. exposed 10 the blows or
all who chose TO strike him, compelled to
dress in. mean clothing and to wear his
beard neglgently trimmed. In the same
way a horse soldier who fled or lost his
shield or received a wound In any save

prevented rom ever afterward appearing

A JUDICIAL MIND.

At a dinner attended by a score of we'll
known lawyers recently the phrase "ju-
dicial mind was defined by illustration
as follows: II have searched far and
wide for a satisfactory definition OF the
inevitable query raised when judicial
nominations are in sight" said one OF
the lawyers. ION a Mississippi river
steamboat some time ago I obtained my
only approximate answer. Southern
colonel who employed the phrase yielded
TO my request for a definition and ex-
planned that on a certain occasion a le-
gal light OF Mississippi was travelling In
river steamer when the boiler explod-
ed. AS the boat was passing the peniten-
tiary at tho time the force OF the ex-
plosion deposited the lawyer inside the
walls of the establishment from which
he had saved so many criminals. Being
uninjured. as clever lawyer would be
under the circumstances, he applied 10
the warden for release. The warden
listened 10 the circumstances as he mar
rated them. but declined To release him,
insisting that with the coming Of prison
ers he had no concern, but for their de-
parture he was responsible. He there
fore compelled the lawyer to wait for n
pardon from the governor. That IL my
notion OF a judicial mind. New York

OIL TRUST INDICTED.

After long preparation the national govern
ment has at last begun direct assault on the
Standard Oil monopoly and has secured its indct-
ment by federal grand jury of Chicago
This particular case is the one which resulted
in fasco at Cleveland because of the ruling of the
court there that it did not have jurisdiction. Then
the government decided to transfer 1t to Chicago
where the evidence which had already been pre-
pared promptly submitted and true bill
speedily reported
Action has been instituted under the Elkins
statute which forbids rebates. The charge against
the Standard Oil trust is that of receiving rebates
in the form OF exemption from payment of storage
charge which competing oil dealers are compelled
to pay.
In the indictment there are nineteen counts to
which Rockefeers company must make answer.
In case of conviction the penalty provided by law
is fine ranging from $1,000 to $4,000 for each
offence Thus the Oil trust is confronted by the
possibility of being forced to pay $4,000 for these
particular violations of the law.
The chief point OF interest is the principle in
voved rather than the possible punishment, how
ever great it may be. Once it is demonstrated that
the present law is sufficient TO establish and uphold
that principle, escape from the thradom OF a greedy
will be near at hand

THE "WINDFALL."

The origin of the expression "windfall,
which is used when one wishes to refer
to streak OF good luck, dates back TO
the time OF William the Conqueror AT
that time IL was n criminal offense TO
cut timber I'm the British forests without
royal consent. All that could be gath
cred for fuel or other purposes was such
limbs as the wind should happen TO
break and cast to the ground. ON this
account the peasants hailed great wind
TO cast enough OF "windfalls" for win
ter firewood From this oldtime forestry
custom comes the modern application or
the expression. At one time IL was de-
creed that only such limbs and whole
trees as should fall during the three
summer months could be used as fre-
wood but the unjustness OF the act was
so plainly apparent that no attempt was
ever made TO enforce IL.
