A Curious ciphei. Code.

Prisoners confined in different parts
Of jail often use cipher codes In COM
municating with one another. In the
Kansas City jail some years ago the
officials came across hard one. A
fellow named Turner, in for forgery,
invented the puzzle. The writing was
on long narrow strips Of paper, on the
edge Of which were letters and parts
OF letters that apparently had no, con-
nection and from which no words
could be formed, One day deputy
who was passing the cell of prisoner
saw him passing long strip of paper
around an octagon lead pencil. He
took the paper away. and on it We're
the mysterious scrawls that had Wor-
r1ed the keepers. But the deputy got
an idea from this, and, going back to
the Office, he wrapped the strip around
an octagon shaped lead pencil and
after several trials adjusted it so that
the parts Of the letters fitted together
and made a sentence, though the writ
Ing was very fine. The writer had
adopted the simple but ingenious plan
of covering the pencil with paper and
had then written along one Of the fat
sides. On unrolling it the writing was
as mystical as cryptogram, but when
put around the pencil as it was origi-
nally 1t could be easily understood.

The Man Who Told tho Tale,


It happened on a Pullman car be-
tween New York and Chicago. Dinner
having been finished, the gentlemen
assembled in the smoking room to en-
joy their cigars.

wonderful thing in the line Of surgical
operations. A friend of mine was shot
through the right breast, the bullet
passing clear through him. The pres
ence of mind Of his companion I'M
doubleday saved his life. He wrapped
his handkerchief around the ramrod of
his gun and, pushing it through the
path made by the bullet, cleared the
wound of all poisonous lead. I know
it Is hard to believe, but, gentlemen,
the man still lives to tell the tale"

The Mania For Shopping.

One phase Of the feminine mania for
shopping is illustrated in John Foster
Fraser's "America at Work" Speaking
Of the G. O. D. method of shopping and
Of the way in which it appeals to the
woman with the slender purse, he
says:
IF she has no dollars, that does not
deprive her Of the pleasure of shop
ping. She will walk into big store,
look over dozen gowns and try on
several before deciding. Then she will
get G. O. D. card and, visiting other
departments, will buy a hat, rich un-
derwear and parasol. She will give
fine order. When the goods are de.
livered at the address she mentioned
it Is found there is no such person as
Mrs. Walker. True, she has put the
store to lot Of trouble. Yet think of
the morning of womanly delight she
has had In her shopping"

TO REVIVE INDUSTRY
Object Republicans Should Keep in
View in Naming Candidate.
Ex-SECRETARY SHAW TALKS
Espionage Of Business Men, Drastic
Business Restraining Legislation
and Criminal Prosecution Has Been
Carried Too Far, He Relieves.

Kansas City, Feb. Leslie NJ
Shaw, ex-secretary of the treasury,
who has arrived here to address the
Kansas City Bar association, gave out
signed statement to the Associated
Press in which he declared that a
number of unauthorized reports had
been published concerning his recent
visit to Chicago. Mr.. Shaw declared
that politics had in no degree intlu-
enced his visit to that city. He went
there, he said, at no mans instance
and in no mans interest His visit,
he said, was on matter of personal
business. Mr.. Shaw, in his statement,
continued:
II am not seeking to defeat any
mans nomination for the presidency.
There Is not man whose name is
mentioned who is not my personal
friend and for whom / would not
cross the continent to bestow a kind
ness. That I prefer some does not
imply that l would lift my hand
against others.
81 am intensely interested in bust
ness conditions. The number of men
| out of employment and the number
soon to be dismissed is to me alarm
ing. The interest of these men and
the effect of their enforced idleness
upon business generally far transcends
any candidates ambition.
Il wish that factioralism within the
party to which I belong might cease
and that convention of broad mind
ed, patriotic, unselfish and unambi-
tious men, uninstructed and un-
pledged, might gather in Chicago on
June 16 next and in the light of con-
ditions as they then exist to select a
man who is believed to be most likely
| to lead the party to victory and whose
election will best conserve the moral
and Industrial interests of the coun-
try. That business confidence at home
and abroad Is now at ebb tide all
who know something of the subject
must admit. It will require something
besides espionage of business men,
something besides drastic business
restraining legislation, something be-
sides criminal prosecution to again
set our industrial wheels in motion. y

In Case of Accident.


Don't bluster. Be tactful. IF there
are dangerous germs present, ask them
to withdraw. If they demur, ask them
where they were brought up with gen.
tie irony.
Be careful to render first aid to the
injured. A great deal of unnecessary
suffering has been caused by persons
hastily rendering third or even fourth
aid where first aid was indicated.
In case of drowning select a best
method Of resuscitation There are
1850 best methods in all. Have them
about you in the form Of loose news
paper clippings and run them over
briefly before acting.
Keep cool. Stop every little while
and take your temperature.
If the coroner arrives while you are
at work, Immediately desist. It is dis
courteous to save life in his presence.
Take accurate notes of the street and
number. Reviving patients almost. al
ways ask where they are.
If possible, induce death to super
vene rather than to take place merely
or even to ensue. It gives the family
sense Of dignity.-Puck.

The suit to break the will of Colo
mel Thomas Shell was brought by the
aged and eccentric millionaires son,
Richard Smell, president of the Clin-
ton bank. 1t has been rife with sen
sations, chief of which were the Smell
letters, written by women and young
girls to the old man, who was willing
to pay lavishly for being loved and
for being told so in affectionately
worded epistles, in which appeals for
money were mingled with expressions
Of endearment.
When Colonel Smell died, in June,
1907, he left an estate of $2,00O0O0.
To his son Richard he left only an
annuity of $50 per year To grand
niece, Mabelle Smell Mcnamara, he
left property valued at $4,000 and an
annuity of $1,000 per year. The rest
of the property he left in trust, inter-
est to be added each year to the prin-
cipal, until twenty years after the
death of his youngest grandchild,
then but five years of age.
Richard Smell sought to break his
fathers will on the ground that he
was insane about women.

3 A story said to be characteristic is
told Of certain judge. 1t seems that
when he convened court at one of the
towns on his circuit it was found that
no pens, ink or paper had been pro-
vided, and upon inquiry it developed
that no county funds were available
for this purpose. The judge expressed
himself somewhat forcefully, then drew
some money from his own pocket. He
was about to hand this to the clerk
when visiting lawyer. high priced
imported article, brought on to defend
case Of some Importance, spoke up in
an aside plainly audible over the room.
"Well," he remarked, with infinite
contempt, I've seen some pretty bad
courts, but this-well, this is the
nmitw
The old Judge flushed darkly. ..
'You are fined $25 for contempt, sir!
Hand the money to the clerk" he said,
and when the pompous visitor had
humbly complied he continued.
"Now, Mr.. Clerk, go out and get
what pens. ink and paper the court
may require, and if there is anything
left over you can give the gentleman
his change. "-Harper's Weekly.

When Life Was Little Valued.

Wnen Lire was Little valued.
The 223 capital offenses which the
old English law recognized as punish
able by death did not keep down crime,
and with the abolition Of the death
penalty for all crimes but murder
crime in England, as well as every
where else all over the world where
the death penalty has been modified,
lessened markedly, notes the Boston
Traveller.
Edmond Burke said that he could in
his time obtain the assent of the
house Of commons to any bill that car
rfed the death punishment
A mans life was not very valuable
in those strenuous days. If he scratch
ed his name on Westminster bridge,
If he wore wig or false mustache or
any other disguise on public road, if
he cut down young tree, If he stole
property worth more than $1.25, If he
had been transported for crime and re-
turned day ahead of the expiration
of his term of punishment, if he wrote
threatening letter, if he stole hide
from tanners, for any and all Of
these things and for 200 more than
these he was hanged by the neck until
he was dead.

The Frank Critic.

'sWhen Sir John Millais was engaged
in painting his Chill October among
the rushes on the banks Of the Tay,
near PERTH" said an English artist, "a
railway porter from the station at Kin
fauns used to carry the canvas back
and forth for him.
'The porter was quaint chap His
services were called for many days in
requisition. He became quite friendly
with Sir John and seemed to take a
hearty interest in the progress of the
painting.
':Well, Chill October was eventually
finished and sold little while after
ward for thousand pounds. This fact
somehow reached the porter's ears. He
met Sir Johns brother-in-law at Kin
fauns one day and said excitedly:
"'Mon, is't true that Sir Johns sold
t'picture and got thoosand poond
for't?''
Eyes, certainly was the reply.

porter. why, mon, wadna gi'en half

An INDIGNANT Artist

The sensational offers said to have
been made by theatrical managers to
the principal actor in a recent murder
trial must have made professional
stars feel very much as did the painter
Hayden in 1916 when two of his finest
pictures were being shown at the
Egyptian hall, and the public thronged
into another room where General Tom
Thumb was on view. 'They rush by
thousands to see Tom Thumb wrote
the disappointed painter in his diary.
"Their eyes are open, but their sense
is shut 1t is an insanity, a rabies, a
Madness Juror, a dream!'' Another
entry later on runs: "Tom Thumb had
