INNATE IDEAS.
Bv n. a. Hudson.

BY n. n. Hudson.
Prof. Hyper had long lair and "a
high brow. He could think in several
languages. His appearance led people
TO believe that he had master mind.
The fact was that Hyper was a great
reader. For years he had prided him
self on what he had read. Then he
saw his mistake. To become great
man he would have 10 dig up new
IDEAS rather than absorb old ones. In
other words. he would have TO leave
the scholastic smoking car and go out
and pick up things before the engine
Of progress reached them.
So ambitious did Hype: become that

nothing but eggs. This would give
him new life and new strength. and

10 earth.
Finally an inspiration came. His
mental gums were teething. He re-
membered that there were innate ideas
and acquired ideas. Innate ideas were
those which came at birth. They were
the ideas which were born with the
child. Man had indeed sighted his
prerogative. 1t was doubtless intended
that he should uplift the lower order
of species.
The egg would DO for experiment
The professor was versed in the &C.
cult. He had also studied telepathy,
hypnotisn, and like sciences. He
FASTENED to the hen-house and secured
@ fresh egg He fastened 1t under his
left armpit to keep it warm. Then he
began to center his minG on the egg.
A chicken would eventually be

with innate ideas.

Il setting hen The rooster, observing
his act, blinked its red eyes and
craned its head curiously With the
rooster the course of true science was
not running smoothly.
The egg had been carefully marked.
Prof. Hyper returned to his study. For
r spell each day he bowed his high
forehead in the depths OF his long
fingers, giving the egg the benefit Of
his knowledge OF telepathy and charg-
ing 1t with innate ideas. His mind pic.

which would beam from the eyes OF
the newborn creature when II saw its
benefactor. The DiTd would be capable
Of infinite progression. This would be
h triumph OF mind over matter
Frequently Hyper would go TO the
hen house and stretch his hands to-
ward the nest and concentrate mis-
mind on tae egg. This process he would
continue until he was tired out. The
rooster always watched his move
ments. The professor understood the
sheepish look in the eyes OF the father
fowl. Ii doubtless understood the in
tended Improvement over nature.
The professor even went so far as
TO prepare a lecture on the elevation
OF the lower species He called mis-
lecture "A New and Better Life for
the Feathered Kingdom Explained.
This lower order OF creatures would
henceforth be able to assist man In
intelligent endeayor They would par
take OF higher mentality, and branch
OF animate creation would move step
forward.
AS the Matching time drew near
Prof. Hyper could scarcely contain
himself. He prepared corn meal In
advance. Finally some OF the brood
began to peck their way to the larger
life. They at last burst their bounds
and after a short blinking and drying
spell. took to tho coin meal as
travelling man does to new jokes
The rooster hoped up on the fence
and crowed. while the proud mother
hen clucked her happiness. The pro.
fessor examined the nest. The marked
egg was still there. He caught the
hen and forced her back to duty. Still
the egg did not hatch.
Then In despair he broke the egg
but hastily turned away.

Cotton Indictments Invalid.

New York, June 23.-There is a
possibility that James A. Patten
Frank B. Hayne and William P.
Brown may never come to trial on
the indictment recently found against
them and six others, charging con-
spiracy to raise the price Of cotton
in restraint of trade, and in viola
ton of the Sherman antitrust law.
Counsel for Charles Kettle, one of
six others indicted, filed a plea in the
United States circuit court this az
ternoon in which he argued that the
special grand jury returning the in
dictment was not legally constituted
because it's members were not chosen
from a special venire of Is names
but selected from the list. of $50
talesmen composed to serve on the
ordinary grand jury.

Romance of the Lighthouse.

ITO keep a good light'-that is,
one which is always reliable, always
on time; which never goes out, ex-
cept for those unavoidable instances
when a chimney burns,' says S. H.
Claudy, in the Woman's Home Com
panion for July. ITO have each
glass of the hundreds flashing like
diamond; to have every part of
the equipment immaculate; never to
have the light go black and be re-
ported-these are the simple am
bitions and the code of laws of the
light-keepers. And nothing, nothing,
must keep the light from being lit,
and staying lit. And no excuse, save
that of an act of God, can avail a
keeper if his light is black and it
becomes known.
There is a tale which was told to
the writer by an old, old light-keep-
er-who had been keeper of a First
Order, Second Order, then Third
Order and finally a Fourth Order
light, at his own request, where he
could pass the remainder of his days
with the lesser duties of the smaller
light. Jim was a fine keeper said
the old keeper. He was thirty-two
years on the Point Blank Light and
never once had his light gone black
nor anything been said against him.
He loved his light next to his wife.
Had he loved his wife second and
his light first he would be there yet.
Both his assistants were off, one sick,
t'other away somewhere, and Jim was
sitting up nights with the light and
doing the housework, days cause his
woman was sick, too. And it told on
him. And one night Jim dropped of
to sleep in his chair under the light.
He slept twenty minutes. When he
woke, the place was full of smoke
and his light was black. Chimney
had melted. The light was reported
to Washington, and Jim had to go to
the board. He said they took him
in like a brother and treated him like
a friend, but he knew he had to 60.
They said they hated to do it, that
they knew his record was fine, but
+bo% u,b;1a fboy roro c,,ro II would
never happen again, still for the good
of the service and what effect it
would have on the rest of us, he had
to 60. His heart is blvKen, and it
killed his wife. But they are two;
the lights are for all of them and
the old man waved his arm toward
the bay and its teeming life of
ships.''

No Trace of Missing Boy.

Columbia, June 21.-The police
and sheriff of Richland county, up
to late hour tonight, have been un-
able to locate Morgan Smoek, the
young boy who disappeared from his
home near this city, on Wednesday,
June 8.
His two companions, Lewis Neeley
and Arther Lovett, are being held by
the Richland county officers, in the
county Jail. They declare that they
left the Smoak boy at Ridgeway.
Late tonight nothing had been heard
from Ridgeway. The two boys were
arrested on warrants sworn out by
Smoak's mother.
