Deserved Rebuke,

Lady Walrond, the wife of General
Sir William Walrond, M. p, described
at dinner party in Boston the life
of maid of honor.
"One of my friends" she said, was
maid Of honor to Queen Victoria
She spent a part of each winter at
San Reno, where l have villa, and
one January afternoon at the Sports
club, where we were taking tea under
an orange tree, gentleman said to
her:
How interesting your life at court
must be! And what delightful diary
you must be able to keep!
"ENo,' said the maid of honor, that
Is impossible. The queen makes it a
condition that we keep no diaries
while at court
"'Ah,' said the gentleman, laughing,
I think should keep very secret
one, all the same
Then said my friend, with a
grave smile, I am afraid you would
not be maid Of honor"

Just before his term expired the
convict cabled the captain that jus

But you have told me several times
that you were innocent of the
charge on which you were sent here"
$50 was, Capt. Joe,' and / can
prove it. Here are the names Of
three witnesses. Get their state
ments and see whether am lying"
Just as matter of curiosity the
captain complied and found convino
ing evidence of the mans innocence
The convict was called in and in
dignantly asked why he had not used
his evidence in getting new trial
I'll tell you, captain. In my time

GOOD AND BAD READING.
Best Kind Must Arouse Reflection and
Build Up ideals.

Schopenhauer said; THE surest
way of having no thoughts of our own
is to take up book every time we
have nothing to do" That is not the
popular idea, for reading is generally
regarded as the generator of thought
and character. But it is not so of
itself. One must do something be-
sides read. He must digest what he
reads. He must increase the range of
his perceptive powers. start up a new
set of relations and draw some fresh
conclusions. There are people who
read a great deal more than other
people, but know a great deal less.
They read just to read-to put In
time; for pleasurable sensation that
one gets lying in hammock or drink
ing a glass Of soda. There is no di.
sestive force in it that builds up brain
fiber. 1t is the sort of reading that
sustains insipid talk and makes one
in little social circle turn away in
disgust when serious subject Is re-
ferred to. The fact is the only kind
Of reading that is worth the time en-
ployed Is that which arouses reflec-
tion aud builds up ideals.

Wilson Hangs Tomorrow

VIM. Wilson, the negro who murder
ed Millie Plum, white woman, at Carl
junction nearly three years ago, and
who was saved temporarily from the
gallows on Feb 18th by a reprieve from
The governor. will be hanged at Car,
thage tomorrow, provided Governor
Hadley doesn't again postpone the ex-
ecution.
Wilson, who maintained an attitude
of defiance right up to the hour of the
reprieve, is now thoroughly frightened
as the hour Of death approaches and he
sees no possible loophole for escape from
paying for his crime with his life. Be-
fore his reprieve he was cheerful and
confidently told the iailer he would not
be hanged. He was convinced, appar-
emily, that even though an attempt
should be made to hang him some mys-
terious power within him would prevent
it. Now he openly expresses his fear Of
the gallows, and the officers expect him
to collapse at the last moment and con-
fess his crime.
"I guess it is all up now" said Will
son to the officer on the death watch
yesterday. "I'm not afraid to die.

the same lesson in, for they went dry al
so. AS for the county, that faint hearts
said would give up 10 despair after Jop-
lin went wet, it rolled up a majority Of
over 2000-that was all!
Joplin so nearly gained her battle
that the liquor men are still scared black
in the face; her three sister cities, with
$4,000 people, With one week longer to
fight, won an all-round victory for the
'Drys." The county, with 19 towns,
and mines untold, rolled up over 1000
majority.
