YOUTHFUL SCOT WELL VERsED,
Prompt and Concise Answer to Cate.
porical Question.

Boston, Massachusetts, has long en-.
ioyed the reputation of having exceed.
ingly learned children who are able, so
IL is said, to dispute on subjects far
above the heads of their elders of 9th
er regions. But Boston is not unique.
In a book entitled "The Scot of the
Eighteenth Century" Ian Maclaren de-
scribes a similar characteristic OF the
Caledonian
II is the inevitable tendency OF the
Scots mind to follow out every line
to its terminus, even If II be over a
preciplce, and to divide every hair till
infnity is touched.
II is not only In church courts, but
in market places and IN railway sta.
tions, In humble cottages at well as In
university societies that the Scot is
disputing. in every spare moment Of
his time, from morning till night.
The story goes that minister over
heard a mother questioning her child,
as It supped it's porridge. after the
days work was done.
What" said this austere mother,
"is the true relation between kirk and
state, according to the principles OF
the Free church,"
And the favored child promptly re-
piled: Coordinate jurisdiction with

WOmsn's Sweet Laughter.

A woman has no natural grace more
bewitching Than sweet laugh. 1t is
like the sound OF flutes on the water;
II leaps from her heart in a clear
sparkling rill, and the heart that hears
II feels as II bathed in the cool ex-
hilarating spring. How much we owe
TO that sweet laugh! II turns the
prose of our life into poetry; II filings
showers Of sunshine over the dark
some wood in which We are travelling;
1t touches with light our sleep which
is no more the image Of death, but
gemmed with dreams that are the
shadow Of ortality.-Exchange

Antiquity Of the Sausage.

The sausage dates back to the year
S97. II has been asserted that the
Greeks in the days OF Homer manu-.
factured sausages, but this prehistoric
mixture had nothing In common with
our modern product. The ancient 80.
called sausage was composed Of the
same materials which enter into the
makeup of the boudin of the French
market and the blood pudding Of the
French Canadian. The ancient sausage
was enveloped in the stomachs OF
goats. Not until the tenth century did
the sausage made Of hashed pork be
come known. II was in or near the
year 1900 that, thanks to the introduc
tion into Germany Of cinnamon and
saffron, the sausages OF Frankfort and
Strassburg acquired a universal repu
tation.

What do you suppose fools were
made for? That you might tread upon
them, and starve them. and get the
better OF them in every possible way ?
BY no means. They we're made that
wise people might take care OF them.
That is the true and plain fact con.
cerning the relations Of every strong
and wise man to the world about him.
He has his strength given him, not
that he may crush the weak but that
he may support and guide them. In
his own household he is to be the
guide and support Of his children; out
OF his household he is still to be the
father, that is, the guide and support
OF the weak and the poor; not merely
OF the meritoriously weak and the IN
nocently poor, but OF the guilty and
punishably poor; OF the men who
ought to have known better; OF the
poor who ought to be ashamed OF
themselves.-John Ruskin.

Real Meaning Of acravat. .

"Cravat," or rather the French
"craVate," means simply Croatian;
Hume, the historian, for instance,
speaks of certain troops as "Cravates
and Tartars, Hussards and Cossacs."
But the French borrowed the word for
the new neckwear introduced among
them In imitation OF the linen scarfs
worn by the Croatian mercenaries
whom they saw during the Thirty ears
war. In English "cravat" has ranged
in meaning from a tie TO comforter
and has varied also in pronunciation,
both Pope and Dryden accenting the
word upon the first syllable.

How TO Get Thin.

When one has just begun TO acquire
superfuous flesh complete abstinence
from sweets and starches, a moderate
amount OF food at all times, and daily
exercise either indoors or out will ef
feet cure. The effort, however, must
be persistent, and the watchfulness
must continue even after the desired
weight has been reached. Spasmodic
efforts either at diet or exercise will
be absolutely without lasting results,
When ones weight has crept far be-
yond the normal amount the restraint
in diet must be more strenuous and
the exercise more violent-Harper's

NEGRO BOASTS OF
FIENDISH CRIMES
Says He Murdered Miss Rosen-
Planned the Deed While He
Was In Prison.

Des Moines, Ia, March John
Junken, the negro who confessed that
on February he murdered Clara Ros.

Moines Sunday morning from the
county jail at Abba The slayer was
locked up here for safekeeping, as
feeling runs high in Ottumwa, the
scene of FIVE brutal murders of women
by negroes.

he was still an inmate of the Madison
penitentiary, serving time for robbing
and beating a woman. 1t was his boast
that he would again do the trick" IL
given a chance. He boasted Of his
ability to assault defenseless women.
The information came in a letter
from Albert Evans. Missouri negro.
who was a cellmate with Junken at
Fort Madison.
"Junken is guilty OF that crime"
writes the negro Evans. He planned
at while still in the penitentiary. and
when he left I knew it was his inten.
tion to pull of the stunt as soon as
be had an opportunity"
Evans statement is given more
weight on account OF the fact that
Junken killed Miss Rosen just a few
days after he had been liberated from
Fort Madison prison. He was re-
leased January 13.
Junken plans to stand trial, and has
made request that Attorney Joe
Brown, one of the best-known negro
lawyers in the state, be sent to hin
for consultation.

prompted him to murder Miss Rosen,

sole purpose Of robbery, could be gain.
ed from him.
Junken received his first big scare
when the Ottumwa mob visited the
Abba Jail. The fear that he would be
lynched so preyed upon him that he
would not stay alone. and desired the
sheriff or guard to be constantly ct
his side.
The coming OF the mob to Abba Is
responsible for Junken's confession.
He began Friday to make his admis.
sion, and at that time implicated
Weaver, another Ottumwa negro in
the affair, and sought to place all
blame on him. But prior to this time
he had confessed his guilt TO another
negro Of the Abba Jail.

MAKES KNoTTY POINT IN LAW.
Owners Of Property Have Right to For
bid Flight Of Airships.

A law framed thousands OF years
ago by the ancient Romans, and the
only one bearing on the subject, may
have TO be amended or wholly nullified
before airships go shooting about
through space at their own sweet will
This important fact was brought out
at a meeting OF aeronauts in London
At present nobody has the right to fly
across occupied land The world is
governed by the ancient Roman law
"Usque ad Coelum." II means that
every landowner has q right to the air
above his head as far up as he
chooses to go, and can get an injunc-
tion to restrain anyone from flying
through IT, SO far nobody has attempt
ed to put the law in force. II would
be most uncomfortable, not to say dis
astrous. for a farmer suddenly to
emerge from his barn or smokehouse
and pepper ones airship with bullets.
The fact that the aeronaut from his
lofty perch could not be expected to
see the mo Trespass" sign might not
prove a mitigating circumstance with
the rural magistrate.

If YOU WOULD HAVE FRIENDS
Don't Annoy People by Comparisons
That Are Humiliatina.

When you start in to say plain
things to anybody be sure to use plain
words and not idioms. Never use fig
ures OF speech when rebuking others,
for in time your helpful rebuke may
be forgotten, but the tang Of the
biting figure will never be forgotten,
and perhaps not forgiven For ex-
ample, you might want to tell a con
servative person he was not up to the
times in some particular matter, but
don't call him fossil-he would
never forget 1t. There is a good deal
in a name. Never call a person a
crank-crank's a figure of speech
Simply say You have an odd way of
looking at things" This will please,
as II suggests individuality, and not
eccentricity or worse. Picturesque
language is only interesting when ap.
piled to things. People don't like 1t
when applied personally. People don't
like to be placed in a comical and
spectacular light, and that's where
picturesque language is apt to place
them. Whatever a persons character.
istics may be don't call him a mule,
or her a zany. The clearer the defini-
tion the deeper the resentment. Better
not call people names, anyway-it
only arouses lot of feeling which is
slow to simmer down. Nothing an.
noys a person more than to be called
some ridiculous name-it doesn't
seem to set well. In other words, use
plain verbs and cut out the nouns
and adiectives, and you will not make
many enemies. Newark News.
