Under tho Orators Spell.

Justice Brewer was once speaking Of
the oratory of John B. Cough. Il
would 90 home after bearing his elo-
Quence thoroughly eIated. but when
my father or mother asked me what
Cough had said could not tell them
for the life of me. remember once at
Yale commencement along in the
fifties, about the time that l was gradu-
ated there, an incident illustrating the
force Of personal magnetism. Cough
was to deliver an. grafton. He spoke.
of course, OH temperance. There was
q distinguished audience. On the stage
were many Of the venerable, notable
men in New Haven of that day. A
large space was clear about the table,
for Cough liked to walk back and
forth as he talked. He described how
a drunkard had beaten his wife and
came to his climax with. ANY man
who would kick a woman ought to be
kicked out Of the universe!
"He emphasized his words with a
vigorous thrust Of one foot, whereat
every person on the stage, intensely
wrought up by the orator. likewise
kicked outward as did Gough."-Kan-
sas City Journal.

How They Fiqht Fire In Turkey.

This is the method of fighting fire in
Turkey. In the center Of Constanti-
nople high watrhtower has been
erected When the man in the tower
sees a blaze the alarm Is sounded and
the tremen are called to their posts.
If they have horses they proceed very
leisurely to hitch them to the engines
or carts aud trot to the fire. but in
most cases they have no horses. and
the men drag the engines through the
streets at Il walk. They do not hurry
to attach the hose to the hydrant. The
captain first finds the owner Of the
building that is in danger of destruc-
ton and finds out how much he will
pay to have the fire put out. If the
blaze is beyond control the captain ap
proaches the owners of surrounding
property and bargains with them for
their protection, and Of course they
pay him liberally.-New York Post.

A Very Large Mine.

There was once in Cripple Creek an
odd character named Burns. He was
an odd person who always. no mat
ter what his work. wore what used to
be called II "Prince Albert" He struck
rich vein OF ore and named that the
Prince Albert. Being of a generous
and convivuI disposition. this lucky
fellow was, of course. surrounded by
many self seeking friends When he
and they were in their cups some OF
them. with an eye to the main chance,
managed to Wlrtdle out of Burns Oh
one prrtcNt or another II deed Of Il
share in his mine With royal prOdi-
gality he scattered deeds about among
his retnincrS and camp followers un-
til finally something had to be DONE
and the case was taken into court
One Of the lawyers had Burns on the
stand. "Now. Mr.. Burns" said the
lawyer, Twill you please tell the court
how you can explain your conduct?
The evidence shows that you have
decided away twenty nine twenty
fourths Of your mine. What have you
to say to that?" well, SIR" replied
the witness. you must remember, sir.
that the Prince Albert is a very large
mine"

STATE PARDON BOARD
Complied With Law
PROPER NOTICES WERE SENT TO
THE SARGENT COUNTY
AUTHORITIES.
No Protest Against Communication Of
Wells Sentence Was Received and
Petition Was Granted.

After a careful search through the
records of lie CLERK Of the state par.
don board there appears to be no
ground for the charges of certain pa
pers that the proceedings in the case
of the application for and granting
of communication OF sntence for Shcr'
man Wells, who was sent to the pen
itentiary during the summer OF 1903
to serve sentence of fifteen years
on a charge of murder in the second
degree. The proper notices were sent
cut to the interested parties. the
prosecuting attorney and the judge
of the court in which the conviction
was obtained. There is a copy of a let
ter to }. $. Bishop. the man who
prosecuted the case as states attorney
and one to f. r.. CaSscls. the states
attorney at the time the application
for pardon was made. There was also
a letter sent to Judge Frank p. Allen
the judge of the court in which the
conviction was obtained. The judge
before whom the case was tried on a
change of venue to Dickey county has
since died. Wells had made applica
ton at the June meeting in 1909 for
IA complete pardon and there were no
responses obtained to any of the no.
.tices, but nevertheless the board
turned down the application. When
the matter came up again at the 1910
June meeting the same parties were
notified and a letter is on file from
the former states attorney, J. f. Bish-
op, recommending that Wells be Civ
en- pardon while at the second ap-
plication he only asked for the SEN
tence to be committed. There is no
record Of any protest being made
against the granting of the pardon.
The record from the warden at the
penitentiary shows that Wells rec
ord there has been clear" this mean
ing that during the time he has been
in the institution he has not infringcd
any of the rules and has made a
model prisoner
Wells undoubtedly committed a
great crime and deserved all the pun
ishment he received, but the talk of
"politics' mixed up in the matter ap-
pears to be a dream as the record
were kept in his case the same as in
any other case and the fact that the
prosecuting attorney recommended
the pardon is evidence that the APP
plication was not entirely unknown
in Sergeant county. 1t is probable
that there will be application made
At the meeting of the board to have
the action rescinded as it is under
stood that delegation of citizens will
wait on the board and protest against
Wells being given his liberty before
the expiration Of his term which with
good time allowance will be in 1914.

Yosemite Versus Grand Canyon.

Yosemite for home or q camp, the
Grand canyon for a spectacle. l saw
a robin in Yosemite valley. Think
how forlorn and out Of place robin
would seem in the Grand canyon!
What would he do there? There is no
turf for him to inspect. and there are
no trees for him to perch on. l would
as soon expect to find him amid the
pyramids Of Egypt or amid the ruins
Of Karnak. The bluebird was there
also, and the water ouzel haunted the
lucid waters. The reader may create
for himself a good image Of Yosemite
by thinking Of a section Of seven or
eight miles Of the Hudson river mid
way Of its course as emptied of its
waters and deepened 5000 feet or
more, having the sides nearly vertical,
with snow white waterfalls futtering
against them here and there. the ia
nous spires and domes planted along
the rim, and the landscape of groves
and glades, with its still, clear. wind
ing river, occupying the bottom.-John
Burroughs in Century.
