Themistocles, the hero of Sala-
mis-, was sent into banishment by
the practice of ostracism. This was
a purely Athenian device to pre-
vent any citizen becoming too great.
When any man acquired such prom
inence as to be unsafe to the state,
a number of citizens demanded a
vote, which was taken by writing on
shells the name of the too promi-
nent citizen. If a majority voted
against him, he was sent into exile
not because he had done anything,
but for fear he might do something.
He stayed away from five to ten
years, then returned and resumed
his standing as citizen without loss
of property or reputation. Themis-
tocles was ostracized and went into
exile, where he was soon accused of
reasonable correspondence with
the Persians. He was about to be
arrested, but fed to Persia. He.
gained great influence at the Per-
sian court and projected an invasion
Of Greece, but died, it is supposed
by poison, before his plans could be
realized.

Paris Cabby's Ruse.

Paris cab drivers are in the habit
of causing their taximeter to regis
ter the waiting tariff every time
their progress is blocked by traffic
or any other obstacle. In this way
the traffic obstruction which makes
Paris insupportable is to them a
nice little source of profit. All is

An eastern contractor who is ac-
cused of laying an asphalt pavement
with top crust only one inch thick
instead Of three inches, as the con-
tract provided for, explains the mat
ter by saying that it would be al
most impossible to tear up a three
inch pavement. In view Of the fact
that asphalt pavements seem to be
put down simply that they may be
torn up, the contractor has clearly
shown that he was endeavoring to
be a public benefactOr. ..c, Chicago

Troublesome Matches.

Small Boy (who has come five

Two hours later the boy turns up

'Please, mother says as how

of the matches on his trousers.

CRITICISED HIS COOK.
Then the Queen of the Kitchen Had
Her Innings.

Her Innings.
A citizen of Kiev. Russia, found
fault with the dinner prepared by
his new cook and rashly embodied
his criticism i'll cutting sarcasms.
The young woman heard him in 81
lence. In the evening he knocked
up against man in deserted little
street, and when he ventured to re-
monstrate he was vigorously as
saulted. Unable to get the better
of his adversary, he determined to
do what he could at least to identify
him later on, and with this object i'll
view he tore his aSsailant's fashion
able clothes into shreds. On his re-.
turn home some hours later he
found the cook standing at the door
ready to shake the dust of his house
off her feet. The gentleman, whose
wounds and bruises left him in no
very amiable mood, simply said:
"Joy be with you! Some time will
pass before you get another place.
And as to characterized, trust me
to give you one that will stick"
On the following morning he dis
covered that his best clothes in the
wardrobe were in tatters and his
glossy silk hat an unsightly wreck.
Hastily summoning the other serv-
ants to his room, he angrily asked
them what they knew about the
matter, whereupon the nurse replied
that the cook in one of her freaks
of fun had donned her masters gar
ments and gone out to walk in them
the evening before, sticking on an
artificial mustache to help to keep
up the illusion. Then it dawned
upon the wretched man that his
assailant Of the day before was the
touchy, turbulent cook, Less than
a fortnight later he received let
ter through the city post informing
him, in somewhat ungrammatical
but unmistakable language: 4ou
lied about the place, respected sir,
when you said could not get an
other if | left yours. I've been in
five different places since then, and
I'll be going to the sixth next Mon
day. Trusting your bones isn't ach-
ing, remain Praskoyia."

Michael Anqelo.

Michael Angelo was equally great
as painter, sculptor and architect
In order to paint figures properly
he devoted twelve years to the study
of anatomy alone. His monument
to Pope Julius II. was on so grand
a scale that the church Of St. Peter
in Rome was altered with a view to
affording suitable place for its re-
ception. The tomb was afterward
modified in plan and placed in an
other church. His 'Last Judg-
ment" required seven years to ex-
ecute and was finished when the
artist was nearly sixty-eight. A few
weeks before his death the aged art
ist was met one day in the street
walking through the snow with
great difficulty. When asked where
he was going, he replied, '"Fo school
to try and learn something"

How deeply the disgusting rev.
elations in the Thaw case have
stirred all decent people may be
inferred from the unusual action
of the president last week in Of
ficially requesting the Postmas-
ter-General to ascertain if there
were not some method of barring
from the mails the newspapers
printing some of the most OBJ
jectionable accounts of the trial.
Of course, this White House ac-
ton is going to have no practical
effect on the course of the pres
ent trial. Possibly the president
knew that it would not, probably
if he had been more familiar with
the methods of papers in getting
and printing their news, he
would not have applied to the

Another old land mark disap-
peared last week by the removal
of the store building from the
Keefauver corner to make room
for modern bank building to
fill the space. We do move, and
now there is scarcely anything
too chimerical for us not to be-
lieve we shall possess. Modern
conditions are fast displacing the
fogy ways of doing things. What
may be the next is hard to divine.
Old buildings are remodeled and
made to conform to elegance and
convenience. Sanitation is given
due attention, and health condi-

take the impossible task of CEN
soring the whole newspaper press
of the United States. None the
less, this appeal from the presi-
dent is bound to focus public at
tention on the excesses of many
sensational papers in reporting
this disgusting trial. The letter
of the president has been re-
ferred to the solicitor of the
PostOffice department, and after
it has been duly considered by
him, he will report back to the
Postmaster General, and he will
report to the president, and by
that time the trial will be over.
But it will form a precedent and
make all of the newspapers more
careful of the sort of matter they
print in connection with such
loathsome episodes.
The action of the district at
tOrney in New York in threaten
ing the local papers with prose-
cution for the circulation of OBJ
scene and Objectionable matter,
is probably a more effective way
of striking at the root of the
evil. But there is another and
more effective method of dealing
with the situation. That is to
hold the press associations re-
sponsible under penalty of pros
ecutiOn for the reports that they
disseminate. There are not more
than a dozen papers over the
country who really have special
representatives at the trial. The
great bulk of the report, even for
these papers, is carried by the
three great associations, and if
they are brought into line by any
sort of suasion, the evil will be
checked. The essential feature
of the presidents action is that
he has called attention to the
need of decency in the way the
reports of this and similar trials
are handled. Most newspapers
have had the decency to throw
much of the Thaw report into
the wastebasket as it came off
the wire. Such papers, of course,
got no credit for the pruriency
they suppressed. Others who
let the stuff get into print proved
themselves a menace to the
homes on their subscription list.
But the matter has now been
stirred from headquarters, and
being once stirred, it is apt to be
settled and settled right.

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
How a Famous Composition Came to
Be Written,

How Famous Composition Came tc
Be Written.
The story of how one of Paderew,
skis most popular compositions
came to be written was told recently
in London by the famous compos-
er's wife.
1t was in those early days when
the master pianist was a professor
ut the Warsaw conservatoire, and
the scene was the home of the
Polish poet, Swietzochowski, who
had just expressed the opinion that
no living composer could compare
in beauty and simplicity with Mo
zart. At the moment Ignace Pa
derewski merely shrugged his
shoulders. But the following even
ing he appeared, asking permission
to play for the poet a little Mo
zartian thing which perhaps he did
not know. Then he played his own
now famous minuet.
"Ahw exclaimed Swietzochow-
ski triumphantly as the last note
died away. "Now you must ac-
knowledge that composition like
that could not have been written in
our time"
Perhaps" came the quiet reply,
"only it happens that 1 composed
it this very forenoon" - Lippin-
cott's Magazine.
