Frankfort. Ind, July 20. - When
Jasper Hill, after several years abb
sence from the city, returned and in
troduced a comely-looking woman as
his wife, with the remark that he had
settled down and was leading an up
right life. there was a murmur of sur
prise and approval. The life of Jasper
Hill. more than that of any other man
that ever lived in the city, reads like
a romance and few men in the state
have taken part in as many escapades
as he. A perfect athlete and without
fear he was known and feared all over
the county, and he. was constantly st
war with the authorities.

A few years ago, in company with his
brothers, he was at work near Browns

zens of the town. number of shots

Wages of Russian Farm Workers.

The extreme poverty and the low
standard of living of peasants from
whom the agricultural laborers are
recruited assureya low level of wages
for agricultural labor. The average
wages will appear almost incredibly
low from an American point of view,
notwithstanding the general COM
plants of the estate holders concern
ing the unreasonable demands of the
laborers.
According to an official investiga-
ton embracing the decade of 1882
1891, the average annual wages for a
male agricultural worker in Russia
were less than $32 and for a female
worker less than SIS. To this must
be added the cost of subsistence,
which is equally low, being on an
average s24 for a male and $22 for a
female worker for a whole year; so
that the average cost of employing a
.laborer for the entire year is equal to
only $50 for the male and $40 for the
female.
The wages for the summer seaso 1
of five months are almost equal to
the annual wages. being s22 for the
male and s13 for the female laborer.

President Dictates slowly.

For all of the celebrity of his move
ments, personal and official. President
Roosevelt dictates very slowly and de-
liberately. The public, of course, has
an entirely different idea about the
president in this matter, but It is a
fact, nevertheless, that when he is
talking to a stenographer he is the
very personiflcation of studious DELHI
GRAFTON. He chooses his words with
great care, often using two or three
synonyms before deciding upon the
one he wants. One personal expert
ence is recalled when President Roose
welt actually consumed nine minutes
in debating a public sentiment of
exactly 500 words, or about twice the
length of this paragraph. This was
when the railroad rate fight was in
its most critical stage, and the presi-
dent desired to send to the country
through the newspapers an "interpre-
tation" of his attitude. This means
that it was one of those statements In
which the president Is not quoted d.
rectly, but the reader is left to infer
that it correctly sets forth the presi-
dental attitude at the particular mo-
ment-Washington Past.

YUM is a Warm Place.

Governor Warner, of Michigan,

night:

musical sound. The wind, sweet

at is different in Arizona in the
summer. 1t is so hot in Arizona in
August that heat stories of an almost
incredible sort are banded about.
They say that a Jerseyman once
went to Arizona for his health. He
settled in Yuma and, by keeping a
wet towel tied around his head and
bathing every hour, he managed to
pull through the first few months of
Yuma's intolerable climate. After
that he got accustomed to the heat.
He seemed to thrive on It.
"a few years passed and one July
the man was so unwise as to take a
business trip east. He had hardly
gotten as far as Chicago when an at
tack of pneumonia seized him. TIC

monia. superinduced by exposure. in

mate the body. They took 1t to a
crematory, wrapped it in a sheet, and
consigned It sadly to the white heat

Then they waited in the ante

elapsed they gathered around to re.
eeive the ashes Of their friend.

oven door. and. to the surprise of all

white sheet and shlvered and said.

prevent discrimination, rebates and

Hotel Baltimore. "What we should
have done was TO have taken up this
freight proposition and left the pas

a clause preventing public officials,
or rather. government employees, from
