The Price of Revenge.


| wish heartily that every
man and woman who believe
that they can ease the pain in
their own hearts by shedding
a fellow creatures blood could
have looked just once in upon the
court room where Captain Peter
Hams was being tried for muir
der, and see what the price of re-
venge really is. They would
have seen a man broken in mind
and body, his health shattered,
his reason shaken, staring "a,
cantly at the wall, so weak and
listleSs he does not care what be-
comes of him.
They would have seen a man
who, a year ago, stood high IN
the army, who was looked upon
as a rising man in his profession
but who now has his career bias
ted, his usefulness virtually end
ed.
They would have seen a splen
did and loyal brother taking upoI
his shoulders the heavy burdel
of anothers wrong doing hi
own life forever darkened an(
saddened by the ordeal he ha'
been forced to go through.
They would have seen a fine
gray headed father and mother
with their faces white and sc
with anxiety, and their cheek
wet with the bitterest tears tina
ever parents shed.
They would have seen that thl
father and mother have give
, every cent they had in the worl
to pay for their sons defens'
and that when this trial is enc
ed they will be swept bare c
everything that should have mad
I. their old age soft and easy.
And across the platform o
which this tragedy of murde
y trail was being played out, the
, would have seen the fitting sha'
i. ows of three innocent little chilli
f dren on whom the brand of the

| ask the man and woman who
are contemplating righting their
own wrong if they think it paid.
| have not one word of defense
TO offer in behalf of the home
wrecker. No punishment is too
great to fit that crime and it is
one with which the law is singu-
larly unable to cope. The man
who debauches another mans
wife deserves to be- shot down
like a dog. The woman who
steals the love of another wO-
mans husband deserves the rack
and thumb screws, and it is a
cold consolation to talk TO the
dishonored husband and the de-
serted wife about suing for alien
alton of affection.
There are wounds that money
will not heal, and it is natural
that in the first frenzy of griei
and rage the victim should think
of personal revenge; but one
wrong does not justify another
and we cannot go back TO the
savage order of things wher
every man was his own judge
and executioner.
Perhaps every man who kills
the man who breaks up his home
sees himself a heroic and roman
tic figure, but the law sees il
him nothing but q murderer AM

Tho Great Vidocu,

Vidocq, the great French detective. was born in Aras in 1775. He began life as baker and early became the terror of his companions by his athletic frame and violent disposition. At the same time he was a notorious thief. and after many disgraceful adventures he enlisted in the army In 1796 he re- turned to Paris with some money, which, however, he soon squandered. Next he was sentenced at Lille to eight years hard labor for forgery, but re- peatedly escaped. and in 1908 he be- came connected with the Paris police as a detective. His previous career enabled him tu render important serv- fees, and he vas appointed chief of the safety brigade. chiefly composed of re- prfeved~ convicts, which purged Paris of the many dangerous classes. In 1913 he received full pardon and his connection with this service lasted un- til about 1928, when he settled at St. Mande as paper manufacturer. Soon after the revolution of 1880 he became a political detective, but with little success. In 1S4S he was again em- ployed under the republican govern ment. but he died penniless in 1857.

Tho Lonq Bamboo.

An Englishman was once rallying . native of India upon his faculty in ly- ing. The native at once replied: "Why. sahib. we are all more or less liars in my country. and If one tells . story another immediately caps it. There were two young men of my country who had boasting match, and one said. My father Is so rich and has so many horses that his stable Is of such extent as to take horse eleven months to go from one end stall to the other 'Shabash, brother re- piled the second boaster, that is very good. My father has a bamboo so long that he can sweep the clouds away with it when they obscure the Asun in harvest time.'

SCIENTIFIC FEEDING.
Health as Primary Factor In inteili-
 qent livino.

Health and success are so largely dependent upon balance. upon sym metry of development. physical and mental harmony. that we should do everything possible to secure that physical poise which also means men, tai and moral poise \ large part of our ills come from one sided develop ment. caused by overstimulatiug some tissue cells and starving others-over- feeding and underfeeding. Scientific feeding. therefore. is of vast impor- tance.
 Overeating and improper eating are among thescurses of the world Think of the people who put all sorts of in compatibles into their stomachs at the same time and then use all sorts of nostrums to get rid of their bad eff fects.
 One of the most pathetic sights in the world is that of human being struggling hard to carry out his am bition. yet handicappins himself by his ignorance of physical laws.
 What pathetic figure Carlyle cut in the world-a one sided giant who might have been a symmetrical power, posseSsor of a colossal brain largely controlled by a dyspeptic stomach. He was cross and grabbed and did just the things that he did not want to do, things that he knew it would be bet ter not to do. but he was the victim of starved nerves. of exhausted brain cells largely for want of common sense feeling.-Orison Swet. Warden in Sue cess Magazine.

Tho Donkey on the Staos,

"lt's curious" said theatrical man. ager who had experienced many ups and downs, "how the stage develops Jealousies. I once had a show on the road in which it was necessary to make use of a horse and a donkey. We got the animals we'll trained for their parts, and on the opening night they gave first class performance. On the following night, however, we were unable to get the donkey to move out of the wings. Prince, the horse, went on without any trouble whatever, but Jack-that was the name of the donkey iould neither be coaxed nor driven 1t before the footlights. We finally ..~d to go on with the perform ance with the donkey left out. After the show was over we got together and tried to find out what had been the matter. Nobody could offer an ex- planation until one of the stage hands happened to pick up program, which showed that Princes name was print -e1ttn the same kind of type we used for Jack. We got new lot of pro- grams the next day with the donkey's name printed in type which was near ly twice as big as that which we used for the horse. After that we never had theI 'ightest trouble"-C Chicago Record -herald.

Heroic Treatment.

In Guiana if child is slow in it's movements the parents apply an ant to tue child instead of whip to make it move faster. This little ant bites more cruelty than mosquito, and it's bite is apt to be troublesome after, ward. As you can imagine, this treat ment does not make the child kind to others, and the children of Guiana are said to be particularly cruel to ami malls. The little boys in Guiana do not reckon their age by years, but by their ability to endure pain. Until he gets to the point where he can let the Huru ant bite him without wincing he is considered merely a baby.

The original mite" seems 10 haze. been third of Flemish penny. bat the use of the word for the widow < coin of the New Testament made it's regular English meaning half a far thing, and some old people may rr- member applying the name te the short lived nineteenth century ""ins of that value.

Moroccan Red Iaae.

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:
 "In 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 Chcre follows namelSto contract fin the name and on the behoof of the treasury (heaven fil' it loan of -" etc.
 Considering that the "incorruptible servant is filching as much as he pos slble can from the treasury 1t Is cer- talnly necessary to pray that "heaven fill it."-London Graphic.

SPARED BY THE ENEMY.
A Dramatic Incident In the Career of
 General de Galifet.

It was on that fatal day, Sept. 1, 1870. that General de Gallifet distin- guished himself by commanding the cavalry charges intended to clear the elevation at lily, with the view of opening a passage toward Floing, where it was hoped the army might re- treat. The first charge overthrow the EiShty-third regiment of the Prussians and penetrated among the German troops, but the latter formed again rapidly after the retirement of the French cavalry.
 General Ducrot then asked if they could renew the charge with what re- mained of the light cavalry and hus- sars and then Gallifet answered in the words that have become historic. AS often as you wish. general, as long as man remainS,' The second charge was not so successful as the first Only few men. with their gen eral at their head. succeeded in pene- tratIn@ the first ranks of the enemy who was watching the battle from the top of the hill of Marfee, exclaimed with admiration, "Oh, les braves gens..'
 Just at this moment an astonishing event occurred in the midst of the bat tie. As Gallifet was returnin. with few survivors. their horses for the most part wounded or foundcred. he passed before the Nassau regiment. The Prussian officers ordered their men to cease fire and even struck up some of their guns. The French sa- luted and shouted, "Vive lempereur," and the German officers acknowledged the salute. some of them applauding.- West minister Gazette

Improved the Opportunity.

The Empress Eugenie had long en- treated Napoleon III. to confer upon Rosa Bonheur the cross of the Legion of Honor. He had refused because he did not wish to found a precedent for bestowing 1t upon a woman. Being called across the border into Spain, Napoleon made Eugenle regent in his absence. and she, with woman wit. took advantage of her authority to con- fer the honor upon the great artist Napoleon laughed on hearing his wifc's confession, but the act stood.
