While the reportorlal representative
of a great news bureau was in San
Antonio Tex, whence he had posted
In such haste as TO have little luggage,
he met with a charming bit of southern
hospitality. He had no cuffs, and a
local reporter promptly drew off his
own and said to the guest within the
city gates; Here, take mine. I've
more at home" Later 1t was learned
that the donor of the cuffs worked for
the San Antonio Daily Express, and
the superintendent of the news bureau
upon hearing of the incident immedi-
ately wrote to Frank Grlce, owner Of
the Express, in appreciation Of an act
peculiarly southern in its frank good
fellowship. Here Is Mr.. Grice's reply:
"If you can send me the name of the
member Of the Express staff who Of
fered his cuffs to your man he will be
discharged for not Offering his shirt as
well."-Chicago Record Herald.

The following extracts from early
records give US a glimpse of some Of
the singular punlshments in vogue in
old New England.
"In 1889 Dorothy Brown, for beating
her husband, Is ordered to be bound
and chained to post"
''In 1913 the assistants order three
Stoneham men TO sit In the stocks on
lecture day for travelling on the Sab
bath"
"In 1861 Anna, wife of George Ellis,
was sentenced to be publicly whipped
for reproducing the magistrates.
I'm 1868. for slandering the elders,
she had a cleft stick put on her tongue
for half an hour
The Somerset reporter., 1906-07-12

Tradition has a weird tale to tell
about the casting of the bell which
stands in the center of Seoul, the capt.
tai of Korea. The mystery of its sono-
rous clang still inspires the inhabitants
with awe and pity. When the bell was
first cast it was found to be cracked.
1t was thrown into the smelling pot
and cast a second time, with no better
result. The artificers proceeded to re-
cast 1t third time, and while they
were on the point of completing their
task a woman walked up to the fur
mace with a child and cried, Twice
have ye failed, and thrice will We fail
If there be no blood In It," With these
words she snatched up her child and
threw it into the molten mass. The
bell, when cast, was found to be with
out flaw, and to this day the people
aver thai the tone of the bell as it
peals forth is the piteous wall of the
child, Mother, mother, oh, mother"
The legend, it would appear, finds a
counterpart in the different countries
Of the far east, as do SO many In the
western world.

of pamphlet published in 1903: THE

Preached at st. Michael's, Crooked

sharp, but Not Clever.

A London scientist says that life in a
metropolis makes young children sharp
but not clever; that it often destroys
their chance of ever being clever, for
it hastens the development of the brain
unnaturally. 1t makes them superb
cial, alert, but not obseryant; excitable
but without one spark of enthusiasm
They are apt to grow blase tickle, dis
contented. They see more things than
the country bred child, but not such
interesting things, and they do not
properly see anything. for they have
neither the time nor capacity to get at
the root of all the bewldering objects
that crowd themselves into their little
lives

through the town, bent on finding a
country stra wstack as soon as possible,
and as the widow on the bridge heard
his footsteps she began to look artless
aud coy.
1t was labor thrown away. The
tramp was nearsighted and bumped
up against her. and in her fright she
went over the low railing and down
into the water If she couldn't swim
like a duck she could at least scramble
like a cat, and she managed to get
ashore. Her condition was dripping.
also dropping. also indignant. She re-
allied that no dripping, dropping wo-
man stood the slightest show in that
contest, and she dragged herself home
ward and was not improved in looks
or temper by having to wade through
a couple of mud puddles.
Miss Nlnton came next She was
sauntering up the hill wondering how
that widow" dared be so bold and
brassy when the tramp, who was now
on the run for his life. overlook her
In his nearsightedness he took her for
a horse aud wagon and tried to shy
out. She SHE'D to the right at the same
time and was sent sprawling 10y the
collision. She got out of the roadside
ditch to run into patch of brers and
scream for help, but there was no help
She had to eXtricate herself and follow
the bedraggled widow
The dog alone was responsible for
what happened to the other two old
maids Miss Warner had discovered
one woman ahead and two behind her,
and, suspecting their iendish inten-
tons, she had almost made up her
mind to abandon her object when the
dog, who had been calling on his broth
er out in the country, came along and
set up barking and growing. Trag-
edy was the result The old maid new
er had encountered a big bobtailed dog
at night on Il hill, and she at once
scrambled over the fence into the
weeds and ran for her life She fell
down and rolled over and she rose up
again and struggled on, and when she
reached home two hours later she i'm
mediately went into Mysteries, and DR..
Seaton got his first night call for four
teen years.
The dog had met with such success
that he was encouraged to persevere.
He came upon Miss Hopkins out OF the
shadows like Il frisking haystack, and
as she screamed out and spread her
wings to fly she tripped and went
down The fall might have injured her
but for the fact that she fell upon soft
mud. She couldn't go back to town
looking like the mortar mixer for q
Skyscraper and she continued on to
the merchants boarding house to get
the use of hoes and scrapers. They
We're furnished, but while she was
using them she heard the ten-y ear-old
daughter whispering to her mother that
she'd bet a cent that Miss Hopkins had
come out there to gggle for Mr..
Strong
That was an awful night in Clifton,
though only four feminine hearts knew
just how awful it was Morning
dawned with a murky sky overhead.
1t seemed to three old maids and q
widow as If something more was still
to happen. They We're right. When
the butcher boy called for his orders
he repeated the same words at every
house on his route:
Say, you heard the news? Mr..
Strong has gone to Phillipsville to git
married today, and he's goin' to bring
the bride home tonight. Haln't it
