OUT OF DARTBfOOR.

Convict No. $500. whose name was
James ShelbHne, was working on the
moor farm with others when the fog

wide moor like billow of smoke from
a lannon's mouth. One minute there

leave US if he could.
Out in the glad sunshine and free

No MORE TATTOoING.
A Movement to Abolish Custom Has
Started in the Navy.

Washington, Aug. enlisted men
in the navy have instituted a move
ment to do away with tattoo marking
which was formerly so popular with
sailors. Since the conviction of a
Brooklyn man, through the efforts of
officers of the humane society for
mutlating the arms of a young boy
by decorating them with India ink de-
signs, tattooers have shown unwilling
ness to embelhsh the bodies of men
who are not known to be of age. and
as few adults care to have their bodies
decorated, the practice may soon be-
come a thing of the past.
The following description Of a de-
serter from the navy shows to what
extremes some men have gone in
decorations which can not be removed:
Tattoo marks on chest. shoulders.
arms and back, viz: Eagle. ship, wo-
man. flag, sailor. cards, elasped hands,
flag and flowers.

GAGE QUITS THEosoPHIsTs.
The ex-secretary Sells Back His Point
Iona Property.

San Diego. Cal. Aug. Lyman J.
Gage. ex-secretary of the treasury, is
to leave his home at Point Iona near
the circle of universal brotherhood and
theosophical SOCIETY. He has filed d
deed transferring his seven-room house
to Katherine Tingley. the outer head
Of the theosophists. Mr.. Gage declined
to say whether he intends to return u
Point Iona to live
Mr.. Gage recently completed the
house he decided today. It is located
on Pueblo lot 104. The portion of the
PUEBLO lot which is referred to ia the
deed was purchased from Mrs. Tingley
for $4,000 some months ago and at the
time one Of the stipulations in the deed
was that Mr. Gage should not sell the
property to anyone without the consent
Of Mrs. Ttngley and that if ne did sell
IT, it should be to Mrs Tingley and at
q price that should be satisfactory to
both parties.

was an attractive one from the hnan-
cial standpoint.
There was another element which
probably entered into the deal to
large extent. The meeting was held
just one day previous to the Demo-
cratic convention which met at Ross
vile Saturday and nominated F. B.
Simms for commissioner against S. H.
Haynes who is at present a member Of
the board Of commissioners and who
has held the office for two terms and a
small portion of another one and who
is acceptable to the politicians who
compose the socalled court house ring
and who have dominated every pri-
mary and election which has been held
in Shawnee county for years with the
exception of the one held last spring
when several antiring candidates were
nominated.
BY getting Simms placed on the
Democratic ticket for sheriff the ring
would have removed him as a possible
candidate against Haynes and he is
considered to be the only formidable
man the Democrats could have nonai-
mated in that district and the only
man VIII 0 is liable TO defeat Haynes.

He was breathing his thanks and
hoping he had found a covert for the

A girl of or years was seated on

COMMON MAN is HAPPIEST.

Compensations in Life.

If Not Conspicuous, He Has HIS
COmpensations in Life.
We have always been compelled to
believe that the plain plug of a man
is the happiest man in the world after
all. His pants may bag at b knees
and he may not be acquainted with the
latest style of chin w~hiskers; he may
not hole down a throne or the presi-
dency Of a railroad; he may not know
the Joy of having a brand Of socks
named in his honor, but al he potters
along through life he gets about as
much satisfaction out Of it as his more
distinguished friend.
He knows there is no crank hanging
around the corner to shoot a hole
through his anatomy or bury a cheese
knife up to the hilt in his person. He
knows when he sits down to his frugal
meal that he can eat bis pie with his
knife with perfect impunity, for there
is no danger of its having been spiked
with rough on rats.
No doubt it is lots of fun to be hailed
whenever you step u on YOU porch
and to have yourself continually mis-
uuoted In the newspapers and to know
that as you hang up your crown for the
night and crawl into our luxurious
couch the police force is standing out
In your back yard to keep the admiring
public from throwing bricks through
your window.
But Notwithstanding all these ardent
Joys the common, everyday chap who

All Honor to the ADDIe,

The apple is a splendid fruit, al
though particular specimens of it are
bum. The different varieties have a
pronounced individuality. The personal
equation Is prominent. The difference
between the Porter and the Baldwin
each a pomological star of the first
magnitude-iS as marked as the differ
ence between a Connecticut bank clerk
and a Kentucky colonel. The man who
invented or discovered the Baldwin
conferred on humanity a boon and he
did more to tickle the palate than has
ever been realized.
Of many uses is the apple capable.
Whether it is eaten raw or converted
into sauce or made the basic element
of pie or subjected to other forms Of
artistic treatment by the American
housewife it serves a useful and inn
portant purpose.
History has never done adequate 1us-
tice to the apple. Poets have never ade-
Quately celebrated in son. the virtues
of the fruit. Political economists have
never fully recognized the full part
that the apple plays in the affairs Of
men.-Hartford Times.
