The Chair of Torture.

The most prominent building in the ancient city of Nuremburg is the cas- tie. One of it's two towers was used for torture, the other served as a prison. The castle also contained a museum of horrors until it was pur- chased by the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot, in whose possession these rel ics now lie. One of these was the chair of torture. It was very heavily made and studded over the seat and at the elbows with blunt topped spikes To it the victim was tightly bound, and in a short time discomfort began to manifest itself and in time became unbearablc. During its continuance the torture was increased in several ways by means of wedges being pass cd between tho logs and screws being applied to tie thumbs until they be gan to bleed.

 Next he was sentenced at Lille C. eight years hard labor for forgery, l.;;t re- peatetlly escaped, and In 1908 he be- came connected with the Paris police ss detective.

Moroccan Red Tape.

Official correspondence in Morocco Is couched in very fowery and fam boyant style. It is interspersed with a variety of meaningless adulatory phrases that tend to confound the real meaning of the epistle. For example. an order to the minister of finance to contract loan begins thus:
 "ln our present letter God increase his power and make the glorious sun and his moon glitter in the Armament of his felicity) we have authorized our incorruptible servant (here follows name) to contract in the name and on the behoof Of the treasury (heaven fill ftl loan of --,' etc.
 Considering that the "incorruptible servant" is tiiching as much as he pos sible can from the treasury it is cer- tainly necessary to pray that "heaven fill it."-I I4ondo.l Graphic.

Cy HoskIns Teeth Ruined

Cy Hosleins while coming down Main street totler day met Hen Weathersby. our genial storekeeper. going home to dinner. Cy and Hen stopped to chat q few minutes and Hen got of a real good joke that he had heard a drum rner tell the day before. We heard the joke, but we can't recall it now. Well. anyhow, Cy laughed at 1t so hard that his false teeth flew outen his mouth and striking on a stone broke into sey- eral sections. Cy got mad right away and said it was Hen's fault that the teeth got broke--he said If Hen had kept his blame joke to hisseff he wouldn't of laffed and therefore wouldn't have laffed his teeth out and broke erl Cy asked Hen to pay for the teeth. This Hen refused to do and the two men almost come to blows over it. Cy says he is going to have the law on Hen and see if he can't collect dam ages. It is very sad to have such a manifestation of unchristian spirit in our midst.
