hands to appoint the trial Judge
and to see that an absolutely fair
trial be given he has created an
impression that these men could
not be acquitted in a fair trial.
and therefore he pardoned them.
The greatest protection of life is
the punishment under the law of
those who take it and the par
doning power of the Governor
abused and the technicalites of
the courts are responsible both
for mob law and the increase of
crime. Gov. Wilson'S pardon of
Powers, Howard, Taylor and
others is not an encouragement
for respect and obedience to law
and instead of weakening the be-
lief Of many in the guilt of these
men, it has increased it. e

What to Take During 1910.

Take this paper.
Take comfort-if you can.
Take things within rea-
son.
Take the girl you love to be
your wife.
Take care of your health. 1t
is the most valuable thing you
have.
Take hint when it is intend
ed for you. Don't wait to be
knocked down.
Take fiattery as an insult, and
an honest compliment as some
thing to be grateful for.
Take pains to be faithful and
conscientious in business. l t
will bring you success.
Take offense only at things
worth being offended at. 1t is a
sure evidence of a small mind to
notice trifes.
Take half OF any work that
comes to your hand rather than
be idle. Luck always waits up
on the busy man.
Take time to be polite and kind
always. Rudness never pays,
the bore may think so but he is
wrong.
Take trouble like a man. Don't
go whining about when it comes,
but shut your mouth and stand up
under it resolutely.
Take a trip now and then, and
try to see something outside of
the town you live in. Travel is
one of the greatest educators.
Take pains to do your work
well. The conscientious worker
is the one who gets to the
front and the one that never
needs to be idle.

ENCOURAGEMENT to Crime,

What encouragement longer is
there that men appeal to the law
to right their wrongs?
Are not such acts as those of
Augustus E. Wilson, Governor
of Kentucky in pardoning Caleb
Powers and James B. Howard
after so many verdicts Of guilty
but incentives to men to take the
law into their own hands?-Ex-
tract from Justus Goebel's
speech.
Unfortunately what Mr.. Geo.
bel says is true and Gov. Wilson
who was so pronounced in up
holding the law during the Night
Rider trouble yet in the pardon
of these men has shown that the
scales of Justice do not hang
even in his hands but that par
fatally and partisan bias has con-
trolled him. Having stated in
his campaign for Governor that
he would see that all those who
were connected with the Goebel
assassination be given a fair trial
their pardon by him favors more
of their guilt than Of their inno-
cence. With the power in his

How lie Knew.

Il was in a town in New York
State during the late local cleo
TONS" said the colonel, and at
the hotel there was one man who
was exceeding rancorous. He
denounced one of the candidates
as liar, thief, swindler, robber
and most everything else, and
declared he was ready to take the
legal consequences. A few hours
later l was told of his blood re-
lationship to the man he was de-
nouncing, and when he broke
out again that evening | said:
You seem to be sure of your
facts in this case?"
"You bet / am" was the re-
ply.
But I understand that he is
your own brotherp'
HE is, and that't how I came
to know all about him. Why,
the whole family of US ought to
be in jail this very minute.

Some Things You Want to Know
The sargasso Sea.

not apparent that he had any difficulty in
that connection.
Various scientists have attempted to de-
fine the exact area OF the Sargasso sea.
In 1866 NJ. Leps. a Frenchman, made maps
in which that region was charted definitely,
and II Is claimed that all the maps made
In the last forty years nave been based on
these. As a result Of his observations, Mr.,
Findley, an English writer, who Is consid-
cred an authority on the subject, claims
that II has no specific boundaries, but
fluctuates. He believes It is more southerly
in winter and the reverse during the sum-
mer months. one scientist claims that the
Sargasso sea is as large as the Mississippi
valley.
While the area Of the sargasso sea, and
the weed found in II, both rave remained a
mystery to scientists, they are no less I'M
known than the animal life which abounds
In this UNEMPLOYED region. The most eX-
~traordlnary OF all the fish to be found there
is the antennarius. 1t cements little balls
Of weed together in which It deposits its
eggs. This fish is yellow, brown and white,
with a body thick in proportion to its
length. 1t Is four or five inches long, the
head and mouth being enormous for its
size. When agitated 1t becomes inflated
uilAh II EtnbAllblNH n NlbAA vail us tNNa aAN
a brilliant green. Specimens Of this fish
occasionally drift into the harbor Of Beau
fort, N. c., and on being picked up by
boys along the beach are taken to the
laboratory OF the United States bureau OF
fisheries there. In this way some knowl-
edge Of the habits and life of the species
has been obtained. Two specimens which
we're watched closely fought constantly
until one killed the other.
The only insects living on the surface Of
the Sargasso sea travel so rapidly that It
is extremely difficult to catch them. Flying
fish are plentiful, but there are no marine
birds in the vicinity. At night the entire
scene assumes a brilliant aspect, Then
the phosphorescent weed gives off a silver
glow a short distance beneath the surface,
causing even the fish to appear outlined
with light. 1t is said that a branch of the
seaweed when placed in a small, dark
cabin, will give sufficient light to distin-
guish various objects.
Naturallsts claim that seaweed is the
most extensive of all vegetable growths on
land or sea. A full grown plant is about
the size of a cabbage, and is about a foot
In length. 1t is found as far south as
Cape st. Rogue, Brazil, 1t fringes every is
land Of the Antilles, every shore Of the
Caribbean and is found as far north as
| Cape Cod. 1t has been estimated that it
takes five and a half months for the de-
tached weed to drift to the eastern part Of
the Sargasso sea. There is a limit to its
separate existence. When it is subjected
to change Of temperature or difference of
