Just . Bit Of Human Nature In a
Florists Shop.
Two little girls entered florists
shop. So near each other in size were
they that they would have been taken
for twins. They had 20 cents-1O cents
apiece-and with this sum saved from
pennies for some time back they were
going to buy IL plant for mamma. One
stepped out little in advance Of the
other when the door closed behind
them. The other was shy. looking
timidly, but confidently, at her sister.
The woman in charge Of the small
shop looked up as the two mites of
humanity paused in front Of her.
"Well?" she said encouragingly.
I'VE want to buy plant" said the
little spokeswoman. Then she added,
in order to avoid later embarrassment,
".rhe cheapest one you've got.'
"Ah." said the florist, going to the
window. there is nice little plant
for Is cents"
The little sister turned quickly to
the other. but still smiling bravely.
Baby. we've just missed it nick

People in Kentucky have a rather

loathe and detest the fruity twang

dialect which was supplied on the
English boards by stage Yankees.
Whether you acquire the American

Heart Protectors.

"Curiosity is not my weak point

little metal disks padded into the left

of them do that-have been doing 1t
for years. The natural inference is
that they count on being shot at some
time, and they take that precaution to
protect the heart But what l should
really like to know is what they have
done to make anybody want to shoot
them. Apparently they are inoffen-
sive, law abiding citizens. but there
must have been time when they
were regular daredevils and laid the
foundation Of an enmity that they ex-

Frank Stockton and Poetry.

Frank Stockton never could write q
successful poem. In this connection
the novelist frequently told good
story on himself. In his youth In con-
junction with his brother John he
wrote many poems. with which he at.
flicted the editors of various Canadian
periodicals. The effusions always
came back. The editor Of one maya
zine was an especial target Of the
Stocktons, but as none Of their poems
was ever accepted the brothers came
to the conclusion that the editor had
no conception of good poetry. Tc
prove their belief they hunted up and
dispatched to him an ode, little known
by Milton. Within two days they re-
ceived 4 check and letter Of thanks

Curiou. Optical Properties.


Asterism is the beautiful name given
to a curious optical property OF GER
tain minerals. They show star
shaped figure where light Is reflected
from them or transmitted through
them. This is seen in the star stone.
which is a sort Of sapphire, and in
the star ruby. There is asterism also
in mica. The photograph of a lamp
fame taken through plate OF mica
shows a six rayed star, with six faint
er radiations between. OutWardly
star mica resembles the ordinary form
and shows the same phenomena under
polarized light. When examined un-
der the microscope. however. the star
mica is found to contain fine needles
of another mineral. And these are
regularly arranged at angles Of 10
degrees. To these needles is due the
star seen by transmitted light.-Chica-

j. S. TO KEEP OFF
HUDSON PROBE
OF BEEF TRUST

JERSEY CITY, March S.-Prosecutor
Garvin today gave out a statement in
which he put at rest all rumors to the
effect that he viii turn his case over to
the Federal Government. He stated
that the law of the State of New Jer-
sew was first to be upheld. He has
been watching with keen interest the
action that the Federal grand jury has
been taking in the beef trust matters at
Washington, and was astonished when
he heard through a news agency tina
they would put the whole matter up to
President Taft.
This statement, he said, he believed
to be untrue. He stated as follows
II have written to Attorney-Generai
W%ickersham in regard to the beef trust
inquiry. My plans for future action
will depend somewhat upon the reply.
1t would not be proper to discuss the
object of my letter.
~ have not solicited any assistance
from the attorney generals depart
ment. We are able to handle our W
and there is an abundance of evil
dence to support our Indictments, In
fact, / am satisfied hat convictions
could be obtained in most of the States
east OF the Mississippi and beyond.
II nave not been asked by the at
torney-general to assist the govern
ment by submitting any of my proofs.
''Under certain circumstances l would
not hesitate to turn over everything in
my possession to the Federal authori-
ties.
1T is needless for me to say that |
would never consent to do this until
thoroughly satisfied thai the people of
this county were fully protected and
the dignity of the law of New Jersey
upheld.
There is no doubt that this inquiry
ought not to be confined to Hudson
county for the interest of the citizens of
the county, comparatively speaking, is
insignificant when that measured by
the ~far-reaching effect of this crime. if
it is a crime.
"As suggested, the position of Hudson
county is a small fraction of the mill
ions of people effected by what 1 re-
gard as an unjustifable and pernicious
system. still my duty is primarily to
those who live here.
IT do not believe that there is a con-
cepted effort on the part of the Fed
eral authorities to permit individuals
to go unpublished and hoodwink the
public by indicting the corporations
which car only be fined in the event
of convictions. 1t is a bromide tina.
corporations have no soul, neither have
they intent or capacity to commit crime
in the same sense. Designing officers
and directors in whom greed has

right hide behind the artificial entity
for the purpose of accomplishing their
aims by violating the law of God, ma
