Ex-Mayor Weaver of Philadelphia Is a versatile character. He was elec- ted as the candidate of the machine which held such disreputable sway in that city. After he got into office he had a violent attack of reform. but soon got bravely over 1t and fell back into the ranks of the gang. Evi- dently he didn't look on honesty as the best policy for himself and didn't practice it long.

Want to Be Left Alone.

 The ideal government Is the one which practically leaves the people to goven themselves, or at least to think they are the supreme power. At this stage of history there appears to pc practical purposes. 1t is that of the seventy seven inhabitants of the Is- lantic ocean, about 1.500 miles from the Cape of Good Hope and about 1000 miles from Montevideo Great Britain which will grab any sort of land, has offered to transfer these islands to South Africa The British want to es. tablish a wireless station and coal depot.

HERE'S A STORY.

If the newspapers and the news gathers can be relied on, not all the strange things are confined to moods and story writers. One story comes from Manila as an actual fact that rivals some of the Munchausenisms that we find in books occasionally. A contemporary gives 1t thus:
 According to the story, a sailor on the eunbat E7lcano. doing duty in the Philippines, will have to be retired through no fault of his own and be- heard of. 4 small boat belonging to the Elcano was being rowed to the ship in Manila harbor, when a plug in the bottom came out. A sailor put the water and save the boat from swampinG when it was almost imme- diately bitten off by a shark. Un- fortunately, 1t was his forefinger which he would need in pullinS trig- ger. and as he is thus incapacitated at the same time from discharging his duty and his rife, he must be retired. It Is too bad that we are not told what was done to stop the hole in the boat after the accident. If the sailor still persisted in plugging it with the stub of his bitten finger. he ought to have medal as well as handsome pension.
 To use a somewhat common express sion, wouldn't that jar you? And yet there's nothing so strange about the story, after all. Sailors are given to doing unusual things and if this one saw no other way to stop leak, and knew that it must be stopped his action was not surprising. We agree that he deserves a medal.

Judge Stone stood near, and anticipating his purpose, jerked his coat tall, whispering in his ear: ]An- nouncv the time and place of the meet ing of your committee!' The weighty advice was accepted.
 Morgan's report and his argument startled the convention. Meek, Walker and Forpyth successlvely attacked him. His repartee was phenomenal. MT. Lyon was President of the Convention and had appointed Morgan to the chair. manship of the committee, on advice, but had never met him. Few delegates had ever seen or heard of him.

 Yancey headed the Buchanan ticket of 1858. I am without records at hand but quite possibly Leroy Pope Walker was the other elector for the state-at- large. Morgan certainly had no place on the ticket of 1856. J. W. D.

Brennan keeps his papers in the dress

them. He went to the room and
raised the bed without noticing the
sleeping child. There was no noise
from the infant and thinking only of
his papers, Mr.. Brennan was busy
among them when his wife entered the
room and inquired for the baby. He
replied that he had not seen the little

KILLED 6S PEOPLE
M. w. STEVENS HAS HAD ,sTARTL-
ING CAREER AT HOME AND
ABROAD.
BY w. i. MARINER,

Minot, N. D., July 27.-The recent
trial and conviction of NJ. W. Stevens
who was sentenced at Williston las,
week for grand larceny recalls an in
cident in the mans career which
TRANSFERRED in Minot last summer.
Stevens was arrested at Minot for
criminal assault upon the person OF
Nora Thresher, a young girl whom he
hired in this city to cook for him. He
claimed to own threshing outfit and
induced the girl to work for him by
offering an enormous salary. He en-.
gagged rig and took the girl into the
country where after keeping her all
night in haystack, he left her AMI
returned to this city. He attempted
to escape but complaint was made and
the fellow was nabbed by the police.
He spent six months in the county
Jail but when his case was called be-
fore the grand jury the complaining
witness had left the country and could
not be located and the man was dis
charged. ~ ..,.- ..
He was arrested in Williams county
for stealing a gold watch from Frank
McKoane, well known travelling
man and being found guilty was sent
enced by Judge~Goss to five years in
the penitentiary.
Stevens certainly has an interest
ing record which was aired during the
trial at Williston 1t is understood
saat he defended on the ground IF in
sanity. It appears that during the
Spanish-American war he was a mem
Der of the United States army and &C.
quired the position of official hang
man or chief executioner of the army
at Manila. He stated on the witness
stand and the story was current be-
fore this that while he held the posi-
ton OF hangman he executed 6S per-
sons. 1t was contended that the hang.
ing of these men unbalanced his mind
and he sought to make the insanity
plea stick. Stevens was drawing a
pension of $50 month from the gov
eminent but this will be revoked.
