A Phenomenal Memory.

The most interesting incident of
the Senate tariff debate in Washing
ton has been the speech of Senator
Gore of Oklahoma, who is totally
blind.
In reply to Senator Lodges speech
raising question as to figures sub
mltted a few weeks ago by Mr.. Gore
purporting to give the earnings of
certain cotton and wooden mills in
New England, the Senator from
Oklahoma, with no assistance except
his memory, quoted complete sta
tiStics and without the slightest hesi-
tation. giving the capital stock, sur
plus, percentage of dividends and the
haps fifty different corporations in
New England.
1t showed an immense amount O
labor in preparation, but the won
derful thing about it was the show
ing of such Il retentive memory.

its units with better surrounding
conditions; generally speaking, the
primary cause of criminal conduct
would be removed and the pcrniciouS
effects prevented.
Time has worked great changes in
human conduct by reason of invcn-
tiOnS and improved processes. From
the fifteenth to the eighteenth cen
turtles piracicS on the seas and bri-
gandagc on the land were of frequent
occurrence. The SCVcrcSt penalties
did not seem TO stem the tide of
criminal conduct in that direction
even up to the period OF the early
part of the nineteenth century. but
the railways and the steamships
traversing land and sea put brigand-
age and piracy as occupations out of
business. True, occasionally we
have holdupS of railway trains by a
few individuals, while in oldcn times
the marauders went about the coun-
try in bands and small armies terri
flying and rohbing the pcoplc. while
in this day and age the crime of pi-
racy is almost unknown. AS the in
tellect of man develops, strengthened
and fortified by strong spirituality,
tending towards Righteousness, sur
rounding individuals with conditions
whereby it will be easy to do right,
and difficult to do wrong, humanity
will see a better world than has ever
heretofore been known. Having
once felt the divine impulse of the
soul power in the human frame. how
can man resign thee

SOME AFRICAN CUSS-WORDs.

The linguist who furnished Mr..
Roosevelt with a list of Nandi cuss-
words for use in traversing the coun-
try of that numerous tribe easily
ranks with the most thoughtful of
those who have Speeded the parting
Nimrod.
In that list are the following shorts
and uglies:
Amin ilat" May the thunder
eat theel
Amin chesirum!' Mayest thou
die of smallpox!
Amin eset!' Mayest thou die of
fever'
Amin motony!" Mayest thou be
eaten by vultures!
Isagitr' Become thin.
Pet-in koniget!' Mayest thou
lose all honor!
1p-in goris!" May the cold seize
thee.
Lye-in kongr' May thine eye be
broken!
"Ipanau." Mayest thou become
poor!'
Par-in Asisr' May God kill thee!
Ipet!' Be lost!
Perper-itun' Become fool!
What a thoughtful favor has been
accorded this grand master of exple-
tives by furnishing him language in
which he can relieve his surcharged
feelings! While these savage "cuss-
words" by no means come up to our
civilized modes of expression; for
instance, Perper-itu," lacks the
swing and vim of the English asser-
tion unqualitiedly that the victim is
born fool. Then with what unc.
ton he can wrap tongue around the
fight-word," liar, which would be
all Greek" to the Bushmen and
other wild creatures, who cannot, il
they would, avoid exciting his ire
pressible ire; and nothing is more ri
diculous than a mad man dancing
around, boiling over with expletives
that none understand. Teddy vii
doubtless make frequent use of this
safety-valve.

The DAYS Lenefh

The boys and girls may be sur
prised to hear that the length of the
day may be found by doubling the
time OF the suns setting, and the
length of the night by doubling the
time of the sun 5 rising. If, for cx-
ample, the sun sets at 7:30, the length
of the day is ID hours, for twice 40 is
10. If the sun rises that day at 4:3o
the length of the night is 9 hours,
for twice 430 is 9. The ID hours OF
daylight and the 9 hours of night make
up the whole day Of hours.

Sunday Calls Heller Story

The red 11eifer" story which has
been banded about, as an utterance Of
Rev. Mr.. Sunday was called" and
branded as the dirtiest Of lies ever
repeated, by Rev. Mr.. Sunday at the
tabernacle Friday night.
Not only did Mr.. Sunday nail the
story as lie, but he defied any per-
son to repeat it to him, and in addition
he agreed to call the bluff of any per-
son who might think he knew the story
was true and thought he was able to
prove it.
II will give" said Mr. Sunday. '"s1oo
to any person who will go before a
notary and make affidavit that he
heard it. Furthermore, 1 will give

Corn Coming Nicely.

General Indications Are That There Will
30 Good Stand in This Section.
In conversation Friday evening with
a Times-Republican reporter Ex- Sena-
tor Charles Eckles said the present
prospects for a corn crop are very
promising, generally speaking, in this
part of the county. Altho a little later
than usual both the weather and con-
dition of the soil are favorable and in
dications are that the seed was good,
as fields wherein the corn has come up
show a good stand. The recent gentle
rain softened the crust formed after
the heavy storm of some time ago and
this has helped the stand. A small area,
mostly on low or flat land, is yet I'M
planted, but on the other hand many
farmers are cultivating their first
planted fields.
