Ruined By Night Riders.

Cynthiana, KY, May 28.-Newl
has Just reached here that the tobac
eggplant beds of Denny Washburn
of the Claysyille neighborhood, were
ruined by night riders. Washburr
has been strong independent grow
err. but had expressed his willingness
to Join the pool. About year ago
he was whipped by night riders for
delivering his crop to the American
Tobacco Company here.
This band of riders, alleged to be
from Robertson county, are believed
to be the same persons who over
turned Marshall Haley's tobacco
which he was hauling from Robert.
son county to this city. Washburn
received warning to plant his land
in corn.
This is probably the first depreda-
ton so far this season. The largest
crop of tobacco known in this county
is being planted.

Roosevelt's Alleged Exploits

There is reason to believe that Mr..
Roosevelt is in Africa carrying out
in general way the program which
was announced before he departed
with his scientific associates. 1t is
to be hoped, however, that no intel
igent American reader will for a
moment suppose that we are having
authentic reports from day to day of
Mr.. Roosevelt's movements and adj
ventures. There was just one thing
that Mr.. Roosevelt asked of the
American press before his departure.
and that was that he be allowed as a
private citizen to proceed with his
African plans without being follow
ed, spied upon, or reported. All
newspaper men know that the lurid
tales which have been daily served
up-and which have chronicled with
much detail the slaughtering of
countless lions, tigers, rhinos, hippos.
and other beasts of both sexes and
all ages-are sheer inventions. New
er were fakes more transparent or
more impudent. Mr.. Roosevelt's
hunting is far away from the shaded
haunts of the gentlemen of the press.
who prepare these daily romances,
and nobody knows that this is true so
we'll as do the managers of our re-
spected newspapers who are dis
playing these tales SHAMELESS and
gore under first-page headlines eve
ry morning, and illustrating them
with unnumbered cartoons. Even
on his later western hunting trips
Mr.. Roosevelt had the doubtful BEN
eft of similar response on the part
of an enterprising press to a sup
posed public demand. We shall have
to wait good while before we get
any trustworthy news about Mr..
experiences in the Dark
Continent.-From "The Progress of
the World" in the American Re-
view Of Reviews for June.

RULE OF THE SEA.

Caught Cod.

Old Whaling Law Applied to Twic,
Caught Cod.
That etiquette is observed among
che fishermen that journey to the fish.
ing banks was discovered by an anna.
teur angler on his first trip.
The amateur hooked a goldfish, but
his line parted just as the fish was
above the water. Back fell the cod
fish, carrying with him two sinkers
and the hook.
Twenty minutes later another angler
cried out that he had captured a cod
with two sinkers and a hook. The
amateur went up to the angler, who
appeared to be an old salt, and asked
for his hook and sinkers, which had
his name stamped on them. He was
surprised when the old salt. told him
to take the fish also.
According to the rules generally fol
lowed on the fishing boats, the second
angler was entitled to the fish, but the
hooks and sinkers should be returned
to their owner The old angler ex-
planned why he wanted to give up the
fish.
1t seems that he had followed the
sea a great part Of his life When a
young man he was a whaler, and, ac-
cording to whaling law, a dead whale
belongs to the ship whose name APP

Therefore the old salt figured that the
amateur owned the Goldfish he had
taken.-New York Sun.

The Codmoppe.

Herrings are still eaten as much as
in the days when Yarmouth had to
send a hundred yearly to the king,
baked in four and twenty pasties. But
where is the codmOppe gone, and what
was it like when kings dined off it in
Lent? "CodmOppe sauce Hollandaise''
would sound most intriguing on a Sa-
voy menu. More original still would
be the "rostid perpes" of a Henry V
banquet, which was the 'sea swine
of the unrehned Saxon, the ''porco ma
rino" Of the medieval ecclesiast. 4
master coke gives an early receip
for ''puddyng of purpasse" another
teaches how to "salte porpyesse anC
seele," another how to "undertraunch
that purpos." From which it may b.
seen that enterprise extended also t.

EuIeTs Wonderful Memory

,
Leonhard Euler, who was born in
1907 and died in 1888 at st. Peters
burg, where he spent his life as a
teacher of great power and as a pro
life writer. was an instance of the
genuine mathematician endowed with
almost superhuman powers. He left
more than 200 manuscript treatises on
his favorite subject and the bulk of
the works published by his academy
between 1927 and 1888 were from his
pen. In his old age he was totally
blind. Then he carried in his memory
a table Of the first six powers of the
"series Of natural numbers UP to 1907
1t is related that on one occasion
two Of Euler's students attempted to
calculate a converging series. As they
advanced they found they disagreed
in the result by unit in the fifteenth
figure. The question was referred to
Euler, who decided to make the calcu-
lation. He did this mentally, and his
result was found to be cOrrect.-New
