She Knew Women.

Nellie, who is in her first year in
school, albeit she is a very bright
child, came in the other evening and
began catechising her mother
Mamma" she inquired lis there
any person in history named Timon
Tyde?"
I've heard of such a name as
Timon," ventured the mother doubt
fully.
WAS Timon a man or a woman?"
"A man, if ! remember correctly"
81 guess that's the same one, then"
said Nellie.
BY this time the mother was quite
curious "Why do you think so when
you know so little about it?" she
queried.
Well" responded Nellie with con.
fidence, "the teacher said Timon Tyde
waits for no man, and didn't think II
could be woman"

Sharp Edge Turned Toward Prisoner
Whom Sentence ls Pronounced.


Every one is aware Of the dread
fully significant part the executOperg
AZ plays In a trial for bieh treason.
The sharp symbol Of death Is carried
before the prisoner, with It's blunt side
turned toward him so long as he has
not been sentenced, says Macmillons
Magazine, and just before sentence is
pronounced the sharp edge is turned
his way.
Evelyn. who was present at tho trial
OF Lord Stafford, in 1898. tells us that
the ak was turned edgeways to the
unfortunate nobleman as soon as it
was ascertained that the voting Of the
peers went against him-an effective
but CHASTITY piece of stage manage
ment which must have had a sicken-
ing fascination for the unhappy and
probably innocent man. In those days,
now happily gone by, no one seems
to have reflected on the unnecessary
cruelty of narrowing the feelings OF
men about to die by such shocking
judicial by-play.
Not every prisoner treated this
purely symbolic but otherwise super
fiuous and unpleasant ceremony as
CONTEMPORARY as did Lord Balmer-
inc. When the three coaches con-
veyed the Lords Kilmarnock, Balmer-
inc and Cromartie from the Tower to
be sentenced at Westminster, on July
2S, 1746, a difficulty arose. It was
not laid down by prescription or use
in which coach if there were more
than one that the fatal ak had to be
Carried, "Oh, put the -- thing in
here" cried brave old Balmerino, 81
don't care"
Yet Notwithstanding his contempt
for this horrid symbol, the undaunted
old man cheerfully suffered death for
his attachment to another symbol, the
White Cockade; but Lord Kilmarnock,
in the next coach, was dreadfully
frightened, as he showed himself to
be, by his thorough realization of
what the awful AK would mean to
him. He inquired infinitely into all
the details of an execution, wanted
the governor of the Tower to tell him
whether his head would roll or re-
bound. and when on the scaffold he
saw the executioner dressed in white
with a red apron, he whispered to
his chaplain; Home, how horrible!"

MIXED HIS LINES.

The manager of the great war
drama was furious.
"Blockhead" he Numbered as he
rushed into the theatrical office.
"What do you mean by sending me
an actor who used to work in the
kitchen of a cookhouse?"
"H-how do you know he used to
work in the kitchen of a cookhouse P"
faltered the agent.

battle scene outside Of the fortress

The normal length of life Of our com
mon small minnows probably rarely
exceeds four or five years, and may
be much shorter; but there are few
satisfactory observations on this
point. No general rule can be laid
down regarding the age Of fishes or
the relation between age and size It
is known that the salmon Of the Pa
cifc coast, which enter the river in
such immense shoals, live to be four
or Ave years old, and then invariably
die after once laying their eggs. One
Japanese fish died when one year old.
On the west coast of Europe there oc-
ours a small fish which is like an an
nual plant-that is, all the individuals
die each year, and only the eggs-i. e.,
the seed-remain to produce the ncXi
seasons crop.-St. Nicholas.
HOW TO STOP RUNAWAYs.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1907-06-22
How TO STOP RUNAWAYs.

The policeman had stopped the
runaway very neatly. Now, though
putting little, he was quite calm.
cts nothing to stop a runaway %
he said, as he wiped his foam-cov-
cred hands. 1T is like jumping on
or off a moving car--dead easy when
you know how.
'What you want to do when you
see runaway tearing towards you
is not to stand still, but to run all
your might in the same ay the nag's
a-going. Then, when it catches up
to you, you grab the bride, and
keep a-running. Then you are not
thrown, you are not trampled on,
and in "a minute or two the horse
slows down.
"Ive stopped a dozen runaways
without an accident. It's part of
our training, and the policeman who
would refuse to take a chance would
be disgraced the same as a soldier
who would refuse to fight"

THE TRUTH ALWAYS.

When you are in doubt tell
the truth" It was an expert
enced old diplomat who said this
to beginner N the work. 1t
may pass in some things, but
not in business. Fraud and de-
ception are often profitable SO
long as concealed; yet detection
is certain sooner or later; then
comes the smash-up and the
punishment. The best and safest
way is to tell the truth all the
time. Thus you make friends
that stick by you, and a reputa-
ton that is always worth twen-
ty shillings to the pound every
where your goods are offered for
sale. We are able modestly to
affirm, that it is on this basis
that the worldwide popularity of
wAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
rests. The people have discoy-
cred that this medicine is exact
ly what It is said to be, and
that it does what we have al
ways declared it will do. It's ma
ture also has been frankly made
known. 1t is palatable as honey
and contains all the nutritive and
curative properties of Pure Cod
Liver Oil, extracted by us from
fresh cod livers, combined with
the Compound Syrup of Hypo-
phosphites and the Extracts of
Malt and Wild Cherry. A COM
bination of supreme excellence
and medicinal merit. Nothing
has been so successful in Ane-
mia, Scrofula, Bronchitis, Influ-
enza, Loss of Flesh and VAST
ing Diseases, Weakness and Low
Nervous Tone, and all COM
plants caused by Impure Blood.
DR.. Austin ID. Irvine, of Canada,
says: az have used it in cases
where cod liver oil was indies
ted but could not be taken by
the patient, and the results fol-
lowing were very gratifying" It
cannot deceive or disappoint you,
is effective from the first dose
and comes to the rescue of those
who have received no benefit
from any other treatments It
represents the dawn of progress.

MISS TOWSE WINS
PLANT LIFE PRIZE

Early in January the Promotion
Committee offered prize of five dol
lars to the pupil of the High School
who would write the best description
of the plant life in the High School
grounds.
1t was decided among the teachers
to make the writing of this article
compulsory and then to choose the best
of the one hundred or so compositions
and send it to Mr.. Wood. A commit
tee of disinterested people We're ap-
pointed to read the compositions and
to pick out the one which in their es-
timation was worthy of first prize.
Yesterday afternoon Secretary Wood
of the Promotion Committee called at
the High School and presented Miss
Florence Towse with a freshly minted
five dollar gold piece amid the an
plause of the entire school which had
assembled to witness the presentation.

HAWAII DURING THE
TRANSITION PERIOD

1t was expected that the question
whether Hawaii was foreign territory
in April, 1900, would be dealt with in
deciding the case of w. M. Crossman
& Bro, of New York, VS.. George r.
Bidwell, collector of customs, which
was dismissed by the United States
Supreme Court yesterday, but as the
dismissal was at the instance of Cross
man, the court was not required to
make an investigation, and, therefore,
announced no finding.
The controversy arose in connection
with the Importation from Honolulu of
liquors by the Crossmans at the time
named. The quantity was very small,
and the duty amounted to only SIS, but
the firm resisted the assessment to the
extent of carrying it through all the
courts, contending that as Hawaii had
been annexed to the United States, the
exaction of duty was illegal and I'M

advantage to the district served by
him. In comparison with the advan-
tage to be gained the cost of sending
the engineers would be small.
The convention meets early next
month, at too early date for the
various Boards of Supervisors to ar
range for the sending of their men,
but this could be overcome by the
Legislature appropriating sum for
the purpose Of meeting the expense
and charging this back to the various
counties, to be deducted from their
shares of the revenues.

GOOD ROADS
CONVENTION
GovernorThinksC County
Engineers Should
Be Sent.

The following communication from
the Governor of Pennsylvania was re-
ceived in the last mail by Governor
Carter, who hopes to see some favor
able action taken in the matter. The
letter is:
Harrisburg, February 1, 1907.
ITO His Excellency, Hon. Geo. X. car
ter, Governor of Hawaii, Honolulu,
Hawaii Islands.
"My Dear Sir: A National Congress
of state Highway Commissioners, and
others officially employed or interest
ed in highway construction, will be
held in Pittsburg, Pa, March 18th and
13th 1907, in connection with the fourth
Annual Convention of the American
Road Makers Association.
1.-THE progress of highway reform
has made very rapid strides during the
past few years. The question of trans
portatio7 is most important and it is
therefore felt that the States which
have adopted some definite plan of
supervision and State aid should dis
seminate the results of their expert
ence as widely as possible for the
benefit of the other States. The State
of Pennsylvania has made large appro-
priations for this work and the selec-
ton of one of our cities for the meet
ing place of the American Road Max
ers Association is most gratifying.
There will be present at this con-
vention expert road builders of ma
tional reputation who have studied the
science of road building from an econ
omical standpoint and along the most
intelligently improved methods. The
value of their experiece and special
knowledge cannot fail to be of meal
culable benefit to all those who attend
the convention. / am interested in
the success Of the convention and am
glad to second the efforts of those who
have it in charge. With this end in
view. I most respectfully ask that you
appoint five delegates to represent
your Territory in the convention.
eff the object of this convention
meets with your approval, will you
kindly appoint delegates and send their
names to Honorable James H. Mac
donald, President of the American
Road Makers Association, Hartford.
Connecticut. They will then be enroll
ed on the list of delegates.
II am, with respect, very truly
yours,
EDWARD S. STEWART,
Governor"
The system Of modern road making,
such as will be dealt with at the pro-
posed convention, is of Importance ev-
erywhere, extremely so in Hawaii,
where new roads are constantly be-
ing opened UP and where it is certain
ly no more expensive to commence a
road in the proper way than in any
other way.
The idea OF the Goveror is that In
view of the national aspect of the con-
vention it is highly desirable that those
in charge Of the road building Of Ha-
wall should be there. Each county
should be represented by it's county
engineer. whose increased knowledge
of modern road building gained at the
convention would be of the greatest
