True Enough.

William NJ. Twins, the famous New
York lawyer, is a foe to the harsh,
cruel. browbeating type Of cross-exam-
ination.
"But the browbeating cross-examiner
does not always get the best OF It," he
said the other day. Il remember. years
ago, hearing n Of these gentlemen
thunder at a meek and quiet witness:
~ a teach you law, sir, but I can
not teach YOU manners
'The witness smiled slightly.
THAT Is true he gald."

The Supposed Life on Mars.

Not only do the observations we have scanned lead us to the conclusion that Mars at this moment is Inhabited, but they land US at the further one that these denizens are of an order whose acquaintance was worth the making. Whether we ever shall come to con verse with them in any more instant way Is a question upon which science at present has no data to decide. More important to US is the fact that they exist. made all the more interesting by their precedence of us in the path of evolution. Their presence certainly ousts us from any unique or self cen tered position in the solar system. but SO with the world did the Coperniean system the Ptolemaic. and the world survived this depoSing change. So may man To all who have a cosmo- planetary breadth of view it cannot but be pregnant to contemplate extra mundane life and to realize that ue have uarrant for believing that such life DOW inhabits the planet MarA- Professor Lowell in Century. ,s

A Great Artist Enraoed.

Alma-Tadema has told q story of the fate of two unsuccessful pictures of bis student days. One of them was re. turned unsold by the committee of the Brussels. exhibition in 1859. The sub. ject was a house on fire, with people rescuing the victims. The artists fel. low students were asked into Alma Tadema's stuGIo and were invited to jump through the canvas, the owner of 1t leading the way by leaping head first through the oily flames.
 The other unsuccessful effort was a large sized square picture that came back again and again to its creators easel until Ut last 1t was cut out of It's frame and given to an old woman to use as Q table cover.
 The picture was praised by at least one person who appreciated its excel fence. SO Alma -Tadema used to de- clare. for the old woman was won't to remark that 1t was much better than those common oilcloth things that al- ways let the water through. as the pic ture of Alma.Tadema' making was a good thick one, with plenty of paint on it-Minneapolls Journal.

A Cool Thief.

One summer afternoon an exception ally well dressed stranger was seen to enter the front gate of house in a wealthy neighborhood. He walked to the door and tried to open it with a key. As he could not do so he went around to window and, pushing it open, climbed in through 1t. It was a suspicious proceeding. but as the man was dressed in the height of fashion the officer on the beat thought that it was the owner of the house. who. hay ing forgotten his key, had used the window as his means of entrance. However, the officer thought it best to watch the place for awhile to see if anything out of the way might occur. A short time later, emerging from the front door. the stranger stopped as if some one hal spoken to him from within, and. saying Yes, Bess, have my key this time," he lifted his hat and walked slowly away. Some hours later, when the real owner of the house returned. the policeman learned that his first suspicious had been correct, for the well dressed stranger had walked off with the jewelry and everything of value that he could lay his kid gloyed hands upon.-Chicago Tribune.

MiIkinq the Cow.

"Afilkmen have different ways of managing their cows. but generally they feed each COW and begin milking as soon as the COW begins to eat," says dairyman. "The milker hurries to get through. too. because if the COW finishes her breakfast before the milk CT has done his work she extorts more feed by holding back her milk. so must be fed again to keep her in good hu- nor. Some milkmen do their milking first and then feed immediately. and cows that are accustomed to this treat ment generally give down their milk cheerfully. for they know that milking is prelude. to the feeding. It all de- pends on habit and the way the COWS are treated. for COW is much smarter than she looks and more grateful than most persons would believe. So long as the cows know they are not going to be struck or beaten they will neither kick nor hook. An experienced milk man will never allow any loud talking or excitement about his barns, for the quieter the cows are kept the greater the quantity of milk and the easier the work."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

THE JACQUES.

The pathos of the situation in which a person who has always been considered white and then has the suspicion of being black cast upon him has been used with effectiveness by many dramatists and David Hig- gins has taken exceptional adyan- tage of 1t in "Piney Ridge" which the players of Polls stock company are presenting at the Jacques this week. Jack Rose who until the stain of black blood is hinted at has all ways been considered one of the fin- es. fellows in the little Tennessee town is suddnly ostracized and ap- parently does not feel 1t until he is not invited to the governors ball the first public notice taken of his po- sition. He comes into his deserted home alone and for the first time gives up the feeling of despair that has taken possession of him. The lines are written with simple feeling that make them most appealing and David Hartford reads them with a sureness and repression that makes them doubly effective. There are no rantings and mouthings but the per feet representation of strong man hurt to the soul. It is these little touches that the leading man shows his skill as an actor and his fine ap- preciation of an artist.

 The good old Methodist had a saving sense of humor. He saw that his pa- rishloner was much distressed between his wishes and his conscience. but the minister smiled on him nevertheless.

Three Men Hold Up Place h
 Wild West Style.

Boston, July. 22-Three men, armed with heavy caliber revolvers, dashed into "a crowded Jamaica Plain bar room and, yelling Hands up." began shooting up the place. When they had grabbed the money till and emptied 1t and had finished shooting one man was dead on the floor, another lay dying and a third was seriously wounded.
 Dashing out of the door, the three men were met by Officer s. c. Butler, who drew his revolver and began fir ing on the desperadoes, and, although one was hit, all eventually escaped.
 The dead man is Frank J. Drake, aged fifty-two years, of 9 Byron street. Patrick k. Doran, aged forty years, of 5.

DOUGLAS MAY BE CHAIRMAN.
Looks Like Massachusetts Man For Leader of Democratic Campaign.

Leader of Democratic Campaign.
 Lincoln, Neb., July 22.-It now seems almost certain that the new chair man of the Democratic national com mittee will be former Governor Will liam l.. Douglas of Massachusetts. The fact that he is being much sought after to take the place became known here following the departure of George Fred Williams, who conferred with MT. Bryan after coming direct from Massachusetts.
 The appointment of Governor Doug las as national chairman, 1t is stated, would meet the requirements which it is desired the national chairman shall possess. He Is man of large means and political experience, is popular with the labor class, and his attitude on the tariff question completely meets the Democratic idea.
 When asked for a confirmation of the report Mir. Bryan said he could not discuss the matter until after the meeting of the subcommittee of the national committee in Chicago Satur- day next.
 Several hours were spent by Mir. Bryan in delivering short speeches on the issues of the campaign into a photograph. Previously ne had made similar speeches on the records of a competing concern. The intention is to give the speeches wide distribution throughout, the country. Of his own volition Mfr Bryan announced that he had received $500 from each of the two concerns as compensation for his work.
 When confronted with the sugges. tion by newspaper man that he had accepted money from corporations and thereby had acted contrary to the de. clared policy of the Democratic party. MT. Bryan stated that the whole prop osition was a commercial one and that he very properly could accept pay for his labors. The remittances were not retained by him, but he turned them over to the state and county Democratic committees re- spectively as personal contribution.

HooH CoRREcTs A FALsEHoop
statement Concerning the Operation
of Prohibition in Kansas.

Governor Hoch has written to Ed
win A. Wilson of Springfield, ILL.,, a
letter denouncing as false an alleged
editorial from the Wellington. kan.
standard, publication of which
the name is not down in the books
and which has never been heard OF IN
this state 40
This fake editorial is being cir
culated in Springfield as one of the
means OF opposition to the local
option movement.
The following is Governor Hoch,s
letter to Mr.. Wilson:
My Dear Sir-The circular. en-
utled Kansas Testimony an alleged
reproduction from the wellington
Shan.) standard, a publication Of
which l never before heard. though
! nave peen newspaper man in Kan
sas Tor thirty years, is a tissue of
talSehood from beginning to end. I
am extremely busy and can not take
eme 10 refute this great array of
LaDrlcat1on in detail, but you may say
LOT me IN general way that prol1ibi-
tion In Kansas is enforced in nearly
al OF the los counties, as well as any
other penal statute; that we have the
only state capital in the United states,
a town of $4,000 population, abso-
lutely without a saloon; that for q
year and half the largest town in
the state, Kansas City, Kan, has been
absolutely without a saloon, some
thing that can not be said of any
other town of its size in the United
States; that public sentiment in that
town has been revolutionized by the
enforcement of the law there; that
the town is more prosperous today
than ever before in it's history; that
there are no 100000 people on
earth, in my Judgment, SO free from
the evils of the liquor traffic as are
the people of Kansas; that no similar
number Of people anywhere are rela-
lively as prosperous. Prohibition has
worked wonders for this state moral
ly, intellectually and financially, and
any report to the contrary by anybody
can be overwhelmed with facts to
prove Its falsity. Very cordially
yours, E. w. HOCH,
Governor"
