Mr.. crawford's New Epigrams.

From F. Marion Crawford's "A Lady OF
Rome
Morally, motoring is probably good
rather than an evil. People who live in
constant danger of their lives are usually
much more honest and fearless than those
who dawdle through an existence of un-
eVentful safety.
An accomplished gossip Is one who tells
stories which sound as if they might be
true. This kind is dangerous.
Very good women are rarely witty, but
they often have happy faculty of seeing
the funny side of things. Wit wounds,
but humor dsarms.
Society is always dull when one has no
object in joining in its inane revels-love,
ambition, stupid vanity, or daughter 10
marry-unless indeed, one possesses tho
temperament of butterfly combined with
the intelligence of an oyster.
There is a great difference between Il
hungry man and a man who merely has
an appetite. The one must have food; the
other is only pleased to have it.
In the age of torture the weak tainted
or died and felt no more, but the strong
were conscious and suffered to the end,
and that was very long in coming. Yet
no one ever pities the strong people.
1t is odd that all detectives should know
just where such wicked places are, where
as the police can hardly ever find them.
Why do the police not employ detectives,
as other people do?

BROWNS DEATH MAY
OCCUR ANY MOMENT
MRS, BRADLEY ALMOST COL
LAPSED WHEN TOLD OF CONDl-
TON OF THE MAN SHE SHOT
DoWN-REFUsEs TO. TALK.

Washington, December 11.-Former
United States Senator Arthur Brown, who
was shot down in his room last Saturday
by Mrs. Anna NJ Bradley. is gradually
sinking and his death may occur at any
moment. According to a bulletin given
out at 7:45 o clock at the Emergency hos
pital, the senator's physician does not ex
pect the patient 10 i've through the night.
At p. m. the former senator's tempera-
ture jumped from 101 to 100. Assistant
District Attorney Adkins called at the
hospital shortly after C o'clock with a
stenographer to take Mr.. Browns ante
mortem statement. According to the hos
ptal physicians, the patient refused to
give statement and not realizing his
critical condition requested Mr.. Adkins to
call tomorrow.
Everything will come out all right, y
said Mrs Bradley before she was advised
of Mr.. Browns sinking. Senator Brown
will soon recover, and l will never be
placed on trial"
When told that her victim probably
would not live through the night she
almost collapsed. She refused to make
any statement.

growing out of the present investigation,
will not be taken up until the commits

Pennsylvania and Maryland and holds an
other session in some eastern city. The
representatives of the blending and recti-
flying interests in kentucky are not en-
couraged over the result of the inYesti-
cation here, but the straight whisky men
are jubilant. The principal speakers at to-
days session of the commission were
John b. Thompson of Harrodsburg, Ky,
and Prof. Alfred Lasche, director of the
institute of fermentology of Milwaukee.
Professor Lasche explained the technical
processes of distllling WHISTLES of various

Do Animals Commit Suicide?

John Burroughs in Human Traits in An
imals," in The outing Magazine for De-
cember
do not believe that animals ever COM
nit suicide / do not believe that they
have any notion of death, or take any
note of time, or ever put up any bluff
game, or ever deliberate together, or
form plans, or forecast the seasons. They
may practice deception, as when bird
feigns lameness or paralysis to decoy YOU
away from her nest, but this of course is
instructive and not conscious deception.
There is at times something that suggests
cooperation among them, as when wolves
hunt In relays, as they are said to do, or
when they hunt in couples. one engaging
the quarry in front, while the other as
saults it from the rear; or when quail
roost upon the ground in ring, their
tails to the center their heads outward;
or as when cattle or horses form circle
when attacked in the open by wild beasts
the cattle with their heads outward, and
the horses with their heels or course all
this is instructive and not the result of de-
liberation The horse always turns his
tail to the storm as well, and cows and
steers, il | remember rightly, turn their
heads.

How Not to Get Lost In the Woods.

Stewart Edward White in Camp Equip

cember.
But If a sense of direction is the prime
requisite, thoroughness presses it close.
1t is sometimes very difficult to command
the necessary patience. At the end of

that the objective is just ahead, it IS
easy, when the next dim blaze does not
Immediately appear, to say to ones self:

you are in trouble. IT guess thfs is all
right has lost many a man; and the
haste too great to be sure-and then again
sure--has had many fatal results If it is
a trial, then be certain you see indications
before proceeding. Should they fail, then
go back to the last indication and start
over again If it is new country, then
pick up every consideration in your power,
and balance them carefully before making
the smallest decision. And all the tina

you are on the wrong track, turn back un-

Hay Railroad Dream.

Casper Whitney in 1.-THE View-P Point" in
The Outing Magazine for December.
[ read in the press announcements of
this gigantic scheme, that of the total
mileage from New York to Buenos Ayres,
10,400 miles, all but about one-third-50o9
miles-is completed, or under construction,
or in such condition as promises a speedy
construction" But [ do not see it ex-
planned that practically all this COM
pleted'' part is in the United States.
And the projectors further and quantity
declare that 1.-THE gaps are 200 miles in
Peru 450 miles in Ecuador, $40 miles in
Columbia, and 1900 miles in Panama and
Central America" Deliciously naive,
considering that the 1900 miles in Peru,
the $50 miles in Ecuador, etc, just about
represent the total coats line proposed.
In word, with the exception of one little
spur Of twenty miles, there is no north
and south railway on the entire west
coast of South America north of Valpa.
raise. And probably there is no stretch
of country anywhere in the world over
which a railroad could be constructed at
greater cost, and with less prospect of re-
turns from local traffic. 1t reads well on
paper; it is a good subject for editorial
expansion on the occasions of Pan Amri-
can conference, but it is a hazy dream.
If the hackers of this impractical, pros
pectively improbable scheme would or
ganize to open the wonderful waterways
of Brazil and Venezuela and the Argen-
tine, which tap every section of the west
coast of South America worth tapping,
there would be project calculated to
make this wonderful country a marvel
of productiveness, and present the world
of investors with an investment they
could seriously consider.

John Gaudn reported to police head
quarters last night that an unknown
negro had stolen his horse and buggy,
which had been left standing in front
of the home of w. W. Towne, West End.
According to the report, shortly after
the horse was left at this place, the
negro arrived and stating to Mr.. Towne
that Mr.. Gaudin had sent for his horse
and buggy, took them and drove off at a
rapid gait. Mr. Gaudin, returning later,
was informed that tho negro had driven
his horse off. lie Immediately afterwards
reported the matter to the police. The
theft was committed shortly after 3
o'clock
According to the description of the
negro, the police department believes that
he is the same man who made off with
a valuable Masonic pin from West End
residence, where he was employed doing
some work about the house.

Cow CheWs Tobacco.

Kent (Conn) Cor. New York World.
The COWS in this part of Connecticut arc
a progressive lot. Early in the fall they
nearly all had stomach-ache from eating
too many apples. Now they have got to
chewing tobacco.
"Goshang it," said Bill PARCELS. they'll
be smolIin' cigarettes next. There's too
much education floatin' around. I'm off. :"
Old man Roberts, who has tobacco
plantation near South Spectacle lake, IN
troduced the chewing habit among the
cows. After he had cut his tobacco he
turned his Jerseys into the field to see II
they would eat the stalks. For years the
farmers had been afraid to do 1t, but Rob,
erts said he'd take the chance, as 1t
was shame to let such big green stalks
go to waste.
Roberts cows ate all the stalks and
mooed for more. Their milk was not af-
fected, either in color or taste. The good
news spread, and now everybody's cows in
the Housatonic valley are chewing the
real cud
The only thing is that when the COWS
chew too much they grow little bit
cross-eyed and their mouths hitch up
at one side. This is supposed to be a
nervous affection. They also have "a
strong breath, which is to be analysed by
n professor from Yale.
