death OF her baby son Earl. in her

The Eoller Fooled.

Recently one young man bet another
that he could not break an egg placed
on the floor Of their room by hitting
1t with a BARREL The second young
man promptly took the bet
Thereupon the first young man care
fully placed an egg In a corner of the
room, just where the walls made a
right angle, SO that 1t was impossible
for the other to hit the egg with an
ordinary barrel
Then the first young man proceeded
to gloat.
But the other suddenly produced a
revolver and broke the egg by tapping
1t smartly with the barrel or the
weapon. Then he demanded the
money.
There was quite dispute, natural.
ly. Finally the two agreed to submit
the question to the editor of sport
ing paper. In due time the answer
came. The sporting authority decided
that the second young man was the
winner of the bet, since the other had
not specified In any way what kind Of
a barrel should be used for the de
struction of the egg.

OPIUM ATTRACTED THE BEES.
Suburban Dweller Learns with Sorrow
That Busy Insects Can Acquire
Bad Habits.

Numerous honey bees have been Tor
some days puzzling me by their ex-
traordinary conduct in my flower gar
den," said suburban dweller, "and
now . friend Of mine who 10 wise
In the ways Of the world has revealed
to me the reason for that conduct,
and 1t has panied me deeply.
Il grew big bed Of peoples this
summer and they are now in abundant
and brilliant bloom. When the pop
pies first appeared bees were working
all about the garden on flowers Of va
rious kinds. Then by and by ] mo-
Iced that they were abandoning these
and taking possession Of the poppy
beds In swarms. They seemed not
only to seek the peoples exclusively,
but none Of them showed an inclina-
ton to quit them when once at work
among them. Each lowered about the
bed in frantic effort to get places In
poppies, every one of the scores Of
which were constantly occupied by
other bees, and these we're just as
eagerly struggling to keep their places
in the flower cups against those trying
to get In.
"A peculiar drowsy, droning hum
was constant about the bed, making you
sleepy to hear 1t. 1t was evident
from the persistence with which the
bees assailed that poppy bed chung to
.heir places or reluctantly now and
then gave them up, that whoever it
was that owned them wasn't getting
much work done in his hives, and
knowing the reputation Of bees for
being busy and improving each shin
ing hour, | wondered more and more
at this singular lapse from duty. Then
one day l showed the strange sight
to my friend, and voicing my wonder
at what 1t all meant. He gazed at
1t a moment in stony and cynical
sort of may, and then said:
What does 1t all mean? Why, it's
plain enough Each and every one of
those peoples is natural opium joint
and the bees have hit up the dope.
and can't get away from 1t. That's
all it means he said.
Il was sorry indeed to hear 1t, for
t panied me deeply to learn that the
bee, the busy bee, ever held up as
an example Of all that should be emu
lated and admired, should be thus
prone to evil ways

A justice of the supreme court Of the
state has publicly accused the police
force Of New York city of arbitrary
and illegal abuse of police powers, and
called them so severely to account
that their methods are now under in
vestigation by the mayor. If there Is
anything inexcusable in government
like this 1t is the disregard Of personal
liberty and constitutional rights by the
very forces created by the law to pro-
tect that liberty and enforce those
rights, says the Baltimore American.
Unfortunately. there is too much ig.
nerance, both by public officials Of the
limit Of their powers and by citizens
Of their own legal rights. More under
standing of the one and assertion of
the other vastly improve the situa-
ton.

SHOOTING STRAY DOGS.

The reports Of the opening Of the
dog-hlling season In several cities are
replete with brutality. The police
men shoot at all the prescribed ca
mines, and in missing them, which ia
oftener the case than not, they are
apt to destroy the lives Of men, wom-
en- and children. who may happen to
be within pistol range. II the bullet
hits the dog at all. 1t probably wounds
the poor brute, and makes an other.
wise safe and sane dog a writhing.

pain. and scattering alarm and dis
gust wherever 1t may run or drag it's
tortured body, says the Washington
Post. Even when the policeman ia
marksman enough to dispatch the dog
without suffering or scattering bull.
let's among pedestrians, the killing is
offensive to the sight Of every human
being with spark of feeling and Is
brutalizing to impressionable children.
In the midst of the heat and semi
hysteria which may be expected from
the dogs and dog days, Washington is
to be congratulated thus far in not
resorting to the pistol for the removal
of friendless and homeless dogs. What
ever crusade may be necessary to re-
assure the nervous and protect the
people from unlicensed or otherwise
outlawed dogs, let there be no turning
to the policeman's pistol as a means
of mending the situation.

This season of severe hot waves.
which may be expected to recur. of
and ON, till fall, is one for the spe-
cial exercise Of mercy in various
ways. To all human beings who are
compelled to labor in various ways
in the heat Kindness and considera-
ton on the part of the public will pre-
vent much suffering. Working ami
mails should be spared the whip and
their burdens lightened as much as
possible. The various charities for
supplying fresh air by country and
water should be literally supported,
for they mean the saving of many
lives. In short, never is there a
time Of year when the Golden Rule
needs more practical application.
