Firers of Fatal Shot Unknown.

"You know how a soldier traitor is put to death," said the colonel. "The traitor stands blindfolded and half 9 dozen privates shoot at him simultane ously But perhaps you don't know that each of those privates, though he take the most careful aim, may after ward say without fear of contradb ton that the traitors blood does no stain his hands.
 This is the reason: Two of the rifles for this ghastly shooting are al ways loaded with blank cartridges Then they are shuffied and no one knows which the harmless ones are The executioners draw and each is as like as not to draw harmless gun So, when they shoot they can solace themselves for their n-Christianlike work with the thought that maybe they are only shooting a blank car fridge at the poor, blindfolded wretch before them"

Inspired to thought on the sub jeet by serious train Wrecks dur ing the past year, railroad men and students of transportation affairs have been talking and writing more or less about the dangers of high speed upon our railways. The ut terances ofsome of these gentlemen indicate a belief that it is necessary to call halt upon the demands for high speed and to abandon efforts to move trains at any speed beyond a certain rate. In fact some rail roadshave established slower sched- ules for their fastest trains.

Peas and Lime Soil Makers.

The more we investigate the different soils, the stronger we are convinced that the dead soils need the life giving power of lime. The Agriculturist is satisfied that lime and peas are the greatest formula known to put energy and activity into lands. Try to put twenty bushels of lime on each acre, disc or harrow in, and when the corn is a foot high plant sofa beans or COW peas between the corn rows. The lime will start microbes in the soil, and the bacteria from the pea roots will feed the corn and thus the soil will be improved and the corn crop will be wond erfully increased. d. Southern Agriculturist.

INDIAN OF MEXICO DociLE.
Essentially Man of Peace, He Wants
 to Be Let Alone.

The simple minded, patient, docile Indian of Mexico is eminently pea"e- ful. Bountiful nature and perpetual summer combine to palliate his inn providence. He can not see the ne- cessity of laying up anything for a rainy day. It rains half the days in Mexico anyhow, but that only makes the mangoes grow larger and cheaper If he has no tortillas today some of his neighbors have, and they will glad ly share, for conditions may be re- yersed tomorrow, says Modern Mex icO.
 These Mexican Indians make the best and the poorest servants in the world Their greatest charm from this standpoint is their perfect appre- citation of their position. Always po- lite, never presuming, with hat in hand. it is always your servant and with your permission In the house hold they ask a half holiday once a fortnight with never a word of com plaint when working hours last from daylight to midnight
 The Mexican Indian does not want to fight All he asks is to be let alone. His politeness and affectionate nature are inborp. His love for children is particularly marked. It is common sight to see a laborer in the street with but two pieces of white cotton clothing to his back or his name stop a woman with baby in her arms and. holding the childs face between both his hapds, deliver a resounding smack and chuck it under the chin. And in the same unconscious and entirely unaffected manner will a young man take his sombrero from his head and reverently kiss the hand of some an cient relative in tattered dress when he encounters her in the crowded thoroughfare.

Washington, Herald.
 The Honduras National Lottery Company, better known under its o-iginal name of the Louisiana state Lottery. has been forced out of busi- ness by the Federal government. says The Chicago Record Herald The last drawing of the company was held in January. Twenty of the officers and employees of the concern are under in dictment. The death knell of this biggest lottery company in the world has been sounded.
 Bigger than the Mississippi Bub- ble.n potent in State and national affairs. known in every civilized land, the Honduras company has made for it's owners during it's exxistence of more than thirty years. With its op- erations have been associated some or the great men sof civil war times, and throughout it's life the names of some of the proudest of the New Orleans creole families have been linked with it without effort at concealment. Tn the place of It's birth, New Orleans, the lottery company was an institution As q Iawbreaker it's place in the nation has been unique, and its his- tory of absorbing interest.
 The forerunner of the old Louisiana State Lottery was that known as the Alabama io.tery. This concern has been lost to the memory of the present generation, although 1t did an enor- mous sbusiness, especially in the South. fn the days following the civil war.
 Morris Gets a Charter.
 The New Orleans agent of the Ala bama company was one Johnson, known as Dave Johnson, the hatter.' The very large business done by John son attracted the attention of John A. Morris, who at that time owned one of the finest horse and stock ranches in Texas and was the possesor of a large fortune. Morris was associated with New orleans as intimately as with Texas and as intimately as he af- terward came to be associated with New York through his building of Morris Park. the great Eastern race course. Morris gathered around him a coterfe of New Orleans men and se- sured a charter under which he could operate a policy and lottery game. This charter was issued by the State of Louisiana for twenty-five years
 The official sanction given this conn pany by the State enabled the pro- motors of the new gambling concern to operate their game in the begin- ming without mourning any odium. None of the original promoters of the scheme, however, had any practical ex- perience in the lottery business and the result was virtual failure. No money was made, although an estf- mated S106,o60 was invested in the < venture. Morris and his associates were on the verge of quitting, in fact had decided to quit, when man who had been working for the concern in a minor capacity sought an audience with Morris. This man was Dr. Dau- phin, an Austrian physician of very

 Dauphin's Wits at work.
 There was some hesitation on Morris part, but he finally decided to give Dr. Dauphin chance. The feeble but nimble-witted Austrian revised the plan on which the com pany had been running. He brought to bear all the lottery lore he had brought with him to America from Europe. From the day pr. Dauphin assumed direction of affairs the Louisiana State Lottery became gold mine for It's owners. The author ized capital of the company was s1o, ,00o, ,o00, but how much of this stock was ever issued is not known to the outside world. as the concern was, and until Uncle Sam dealt 1t it's death blow, always remained a close corporation It is known, however, that under the direction of Dr. Dauphin the shares of a par value of $100 rose to the fabu- lous quotation of s2,425. Through the most ridiculous rnisnanagement In late years this stock declined to as low as s7 a share, at which price Mrs. Dauphin, widow of the real origf- nator of the scheme, sold q large block to a certain New Orleans bank CT, who has since been prominently identified with the affairs of the corn- pany. It is not believed that more than $5o0,o00 ever was paid into tho treasury in the form of actual cash
 Many Victims of Policy.
 Under the. new charter the Louisiana company organized the policy game in Q way that gave 1t a tremendous in1- petus. Before long the city was policy mad. Visitors to New orleans thirty years ago remember we'll the open policy booths in the main business streets of the city, and the lines the crowds of negroes and white trash" that thronged the books seeking to bet their nickels and dimes on the in- numerable combination of figures which their supersititious fancy dic- tated There were policy booths in front of banks. mercantile houses. btnd hotels There were instances where as much as s5 1000 would be paid for & stand if the legation were favorable enough, which might not be more than four feet square of space, with small table and chair. The profits from the policy game. in which there were two drawings daily. were tery proper, in which the drawings were monthly. leaving the profits from the national business, over the payment of prizes clear gain.
 During the late sos the feeling against the policy part of the scheme had grown strong in, New Orleans Policy gambling had run riot for years. It had taken such a hold on the servant and poorer classes that they could not be trusted with their own or other peoples money.
