Keeping His Balance

Taere Is Il story told among the Tar
tars which has a moral for the civilized
men of the present day. 1t is to this
effect Robo, cousin of the great mogul
was condemned to death for participa-
ton in ii rebellion. The most skillful
sworlsman in the empire was provided
for the execution, and the great
mogul AMI his court were present as
spectators.
The thin. keen blade flashed in the
sunlight and descended upon the bare
neck of R1bo, who stood upright to re-
ceive the stroke.
The eX .cutioner's work was so deftly
done that. though the head was severed
not Il vital organ was disturbed. Robo
remained standing.
What, Robo, art thou not behead-
ed!' exclaimed the great mogul.
"My lord, am" replied Robo, but
as long as I keep my balance right my
head will not fall Off" :.
The great mogul was placated. A
band was put on Robo's neck, and he
recovered. He afterward became a
loyal subject and was made cashier of
the empire because, as the great mogul
remarked.
HE knows that if he keeps his bal
ance right his head will not come off"

Sen. NeWlands OF Nevada

Senator Newlands of Nevada, has
been one of the most persistent speak
CrS since the tariff debates began. He
has discussed many subjects
Indeed, there are few of the larger
questions relating to the tariff that he
has not tackled. He refused to be
suppressed. Absence of quorum or
black looks from Senator Aldrich alike
have failed to disturb his serenity and
he talked on despite all efforts to block
him.
Senator Newlands has many adj
vanced ideas, and for this reason many
of the senators do not wish to listen to
him.

other day "is twenty-five years in
advance of his time. Some day the

JUST ABOUT RIGHT

Seats in Il passenger car are for all
passengers to sit in Seats are
not for goods, chattels or baggage. +
Seats containing baggage are, in the
eyes of the law vacant" This was the
summing up of recent decision of the
court of appeals i'll the state of New
York. The plaintiff considered himself
;.n aggrieved passenger and he sued a
fellow passenger for taking possession
of u seat ON which he had left Il grip and
II newspaper while he went to enjoy the
luxury of a pipe in the smoking car,
for refusing to surrender it on demand.
At the time pretty little fracas ensued
in the course of which the lover of the
weed got the worst of il, so he went to
the court for redress. Not getting
satisfaction in his first appeal to the
majesty of the law, he carried his suit
to q higher court. and here he Jared
even worse than he did in the first in
stance, and the final result is Indicated
in the first sentence of this paragraph.
We have no doubt the general verdict
nf our readers will be Served him
right" Little sympathy is felt for the
man or woman either, who tries to
monopolize more than he or she is en-
titled to, very frequently to the serious
discomfort of other travellers Let us
Ill remember then that seats containing
baggage are in the eyes of the law, va
cant. The same rule holds good when
applied to half seat if no other seat is
unoccupied in the car.

Locating a Broken Wire

When telegraph wire is broken or
damaged, SLY, several hundred miles
away, how does the operator, sitting in
his office. know exactly where the
accident occurred2
The explanation is simple. 1t re-
quires, as every one knows, consider
able force to send electricity through a
wire. The longer the wire the greater,
of course, must be the force required.
This force il measured in units called
by electricians ''ohms" Let us suppose
that a wire between a New York Office
and point $50 miles away has broken
somewhere. The telegrapher knows
that when the wire was intact there
were revuired, say. 2,1OO ohms to
the mile. He now finds that he can
send Il current with only 700 ohms.
Dividing 700 by ID, he finds that the
break in the wire is fifty miles from his
end.--New York Tribune.

CORBETT rs BACK
Puts Harry Ferris Away in
Eleventh Round.

New Orleans, Jan. 25.-With a right
hook to the jaw and left to the body,
Young Corbett yesterday afternoon
knocked out Harry Ferns In the elev-
enth round of their scheduled twenty
five round bout befort the West Side
Athletic club.
Corbett was clearly the class and
proved the aggressor from the first. In
only one round the fourth, was he
troubled to any extent. In that period
Ferns, with furious body blows, rushed
his opponent to the ropes and with
rights and lefts to the face f1oored Cor
bett. However. Corbett was on his
feet in jiffy and punished Ferns Sc
verely for the momentary splurge.
The eighth, ninth and tenth rounds
proved hard ones for Ferns and in each
he was saved by the gong. The open
ing OF the eleventh saw Ferns in bad
shape and Corbett toyed with his VIC
tim. Corbett demonstrated to his ad-
mirers that he can stand punishment.
He boldly walked into Ferns arms time
and again and blow after blow was
rained on him with no apparent effect.
Corbett is trained to the pin kof con-
dition and says that he intends striking
out for greater honors.
1t was announced at the ringside that
Abe Attell, who was in the corner of
Ferns, will meet Eddie Kelly here Feb
4 before the Southern Athletic club.

confident of success, but before the
East Chicago teams finished the down
county feathers were well be-draggled
by the fierce onslaught of the local
players. Forty to 81 was the score in
the boys game while the East Chicago
girls managed TO defeat the heavier
Crown Point team by the narrow score
of 9 to 6.
The star work of Riley and Johns
was evident in the boys contest, while
Palmer did some fair work in the
guard position. Silverman at center
and Cadman as the opposite forward
played good games but the weaken
ing of the team by placing Cadman a
| forward was plain.
/ Lillian Williams, captain of the girls
team, showed to advantage at every
moment of the game and was supported
nobly by Mabel Palmer, who made fou
of the nine points. Phoebe Westba,
of Crown Point played a good forward
game and her lack of familiarity witt
the basket positions caused her team
to lose the game. The next game o
the local teams will be played at Ho
bart on next Saturday evening.
