 he Lord. They will adjourn because having conquered the world eff not the flesh and the deviD, there simply isn't anything else left for them to do but to go home and wait for The Boss to call another extra session of the legislature to rake up the withered leaves they have scattered.
 When a peoples representatives say to the outside world by their actions that their constituents are unfriendy to out side capital. and don't need it, if the peo- pie don't really mean this. it is time for sober second thought for the future What a blessed thing. No matter how many things happen they will have ample time to reflect and repent at least "SOBERLY." It would seem that the most thoughtless would see the wisdom of encouraging the investment of capital un- der present conditions instead of antag- onizing and expressing them and unset tling values.
 It is pitiful sight for men of brain and intelligence to use that God-given force, instead of enlightening and leading along peaceful paths those weaker minds that LOOK up to them, to prefer to build up tnelr own uncertain future upon the prej- udice of the ignorant, who work too hard to have time to think for them selves. and who must be the final suffer- S'9s oiiu WHOs ulluer lIS lTeNOCdDle ldWS of nature and her God. will fall into the Dit they have dug for others.

Freak Refused $500 a Week.

Norwalk tConn.) Cor. New York World
 John Harding, to whom P T. Barnum offered $500 a week to exhibit himself, died in the poor house here today. liar dings pride would never permit him to place himself on show with the mdgets, the giants and the fat ladies; and so, while he might have amassed q consid- erable fortune, he died pauper.
 Nature was in strange mood when she brought him into being. Harding was i3 years old, but he was no bigger than a normal 2-year-old baby. IFS arms and legs were gnarled and twisted and from the moment of his birth they were in un- ceasins motion. Against his will his legs kicked and his arms swung around like q wind mill. He never walked. He never even crept.
 Nevertheless he had q fine brain and wonderful memory. He taught himself to read and write and read good books con StaYtly.
