Deserved His Liberty.

The smartest lunatic who ever es-
capped from an English asylum seems
to be a well-known Hadley man.
Wearing a silk hat and a frock coat,
he walked into a newspaper Office in
Hadley and, after writing thrilling
story Of how to elude the vigilant at
tendants at the Staffordshire county
asylum, asked the editor to publish
II. According to his story he waited
for foggy night and then, after
loosening the screws in his cell win
dow. descended to the ground by a
rope ladder. He then visited Stock
port and the poor law officers to look
over the lunacy law. After learning
that lunatic could not be apprehended
after IL days Of liberation unless
fresh order should be made out
against him, he gave himself up to un-
restrained celebration of the new year.
He complained in his story that the
asylum system was too prisonlike and
that 1t discouraged and depressed him.

Animals Without Moral Sense.

Prof. Schuster asserts that animals
lack moral feeling entirely, none Of
their acts being immoral or moral. in
the broad sense, and that they have no
trace of a sense of shame or of honor.
Their courage. he declares. is "a mere
impulse of nature" and of moral cour-
age they know nothing. He continues:
And animals have no pride, In the
sense of mans conception Of that
quality. They are not proud Of their
kind. of their kindred, of their indi-
viduality. They neither have an in
dividuality nor are individual. Ami
mails are not proud because they have
no consciousness of the scope OF the
value of their kind, of their enterprise
or of any other form of their capabil-
.ty; they are neither supercilious.
proud, nor the contrary, that is,
grieved, wounded or depressed in re

Elbridge L. Adams of Rochester
n. Y, lawyer, who has made study
of British Jurisprudence, surprised his
colleagues at the annual meeting OF
the New York State Bar association
when he made comparison between
the American and English methods of
legal procedure. He asserted that 23
judges of the supreme court of Eng
land, with population Of 100000,
disposed of as much business ea:a
year as SO judges of the supreme court
in New York state, with population
of 100000 in addition to this" said
Mr.. Adams. these English judges do
just as much work as the federal
judges in New York state. The OBJ
ject Of the English rules is to provide
the best. the quickest and the simplest
methods"

Ruby Robert Gives Demonstration
Much to His Sorrow.

knocked Jim Corbett out at Carson

punch. Not SO many years ago his
former manager. Percy Williams. now
well-known theatrical magnate,
asked Fftz to show a number Of
friends just how Corbett was ami
hilated. Robert was in fine form
then, as he was training for a fight
at the time.
He promptly complied with the re-
quest by calling upon Reggy Williams.

and be a victim. Reggy. however,
had been there before and knew the
power of the Cornishman's blows, SO
he was not overeager to take part In
the exhibition. So he said to Robert

"All right" replied Fitzsimmons.

and then picking Up a thick board he
slipped 1t under-his vest. Then he
came back with the remark:
Go ahead. Bob. but not too hard"
Fitz jumped about, feinting and
sparring OF like real fighter. Then
Robert shot out his terrible left and
hit the mark with a crash. II sounded
like blow on q board fence with q
sledge hammer. and, though Williams
was knocked down, he jumped up
quickly and laughed until his sides
shook. Fftz was dancing around on
one foot, with his left hand under his
arm and look of intense pain on his
face.
What's the matter, Bob?" asked
Percy Williams. who was next to the
trick

President Turned Down.

By a vote of 1919 to SO the House
of Representatives on the 18th
decided against the Presidents
program for four battleships and
adhered to the recommendation of
its Committee on Naval Affairs for
two vessels.
The increase was opposed by
Chairman of the Committee on
Appropriations: Chairman of the
Committee on Naval Affairs; Mr..
Willets, a minority leader, and
others, and was advocated by Mr..
Hobson, of Alabama, who declared
that in relation to the increase of
other nations, four battleships
would only keep the American
navy abreast of other great navies.
A provision for two fleet golfers
of 16 knots and of 12,500 tons ca
pacity, costing 81, 100000 each,
was adopted. Amendments were
adopted that one of the battleships
and one of the GOLFERS be built in
a navy yard. The bill as it stands
authorizes expenditures of SlO7,-
$4,000.

Joke Spoiled in the Telling.

After becoming wealthy in Chi
cago, a prominent business man
went to Washington, where his
malaprop wife and daughters en-
deavored to buy their way into
society. Senator Pettigrew of
South Dakota says that one eve
ming he set large company to
guessing this conundrum:
What is the difference between
"A man going out of doors in winter
and tired dog 2"
The answer is: "A man puts
on an overcoat, and the dog pants. "
Only two or three evenings later
the eldest daughter of the Chica-
goan, set forth the same conun-
drum. as original, although Sena-
tor Pettigrew sat beside her.
When the people gave it up she
told the answer:
"A man puts on an overcoat and
the dog puts on trousers"
Nobody laughed and Senator
Pettigrew corrected her, when she
said:
Il made a little mistake. 1t
should be, man puts on an over
coat, and the dog puts on panta-
looms"
