SPEAK For Yourself, John.

The Lord Leicester of Il century ago
had no sons by his first marriage and,
being well on in years, was anxious to
see his heir apparent, Il nephew, hap
PLY welded. His wish was that q
charming daughter of his neighbor,
the Earl of Albemarle. should be the
future Lady Leicester. With her and
her sisters he used to enjoy his morn
ing rides. One morning she came
alone. and during the ride he asked,
thinking TO forward his nephew's in
terests, "Anne. my dear, how should
you like to be mistress of HolkhamT
There is nothing | should like better,
she replied Then | shall send my
nephew William to court you," said
the earl. glad that the fates seemed to
favor his project. But the lady calmly
and gravely answered. Il shall never
be mistress of Holkham on those
terms" "Why," exclaimed the aston
ished old gentleman. looking the lady
hard in the face. you don't mean to
say you would marry mer Yes, in
deed would" was the answer, and
nothing | should wish better" And as
a consequence the nephew did not sue

Perseverance.

Timour. the great Asiatic conQueror
commonly known by the name of Tam
erlane, had extraordinary persever-
apce. No difficulties ever led him to
recede from what he had once under
taken, and he often persisted in his
efforts under circumstances which led
all around him TO despair, On such
occasions he used to relate to his
friend an anecdote of his early life.

hours. Desiring to divert my mind

my eyes on an ant that was carrying a
grain of corn larger than itself up a

made to accomplish this object. The
grain fell siXty-nine times to the

Tihetan Penal Code.

The Tibetan penal code is curious.
Murder is punished with fine vary
ing according TO the Importance of the
slain. theft by fine of seven to one
hundred times the value of the article
stolen. Here. again, the fine depends
on the social importance of the person
from whom the theft has been commit
ted. The harborer of Il thief is looked
upon as worse criminal than the
thief himself. Ordeals by fire and by
boiling water are still used as proofs
of innocence or guilt, exactly as was
the custom in Europe in the middle
ages. And if the lamaS never inhict
death they are adopts at torture.

Hayes And Ascher Wild
With Joy Before Liberated

! JACKSON. Mich, Dec. Sl.-tSpe-
ciaD-So excited and elated they
could eat no breakfast, Ed Ascher
anu Frank Hayes, lifers, were releas-
ed from Jackson prison this morning
OH parole. Ascher was up long be-
fore daylight looking out through the
bars OF his cell and pacing back and
forth waiting for the time when he
should be let out and prepare 10 30
home.
He had slept scarcely a wink all
night. having heard the day before he
was to be released. When he march
ed out of his cell he took some OF his
effects along with him, among them
his cuspidor. which he hurled out in
TO the prison yard and then fairly
danced with joy.
Both he and Hayes were today TAX
en- TO the tailorshop where they were
fitted with citizens clothes and then
were taken up through the big iron
door and down into the warden's Of
fice, where Abe Ascher was waiting
to greet his brother and accompany
him home. So anxious was Ascher
10 get home that he went away be-
fore any of the prison officers knew
IL, leaving his parole papers and the
report blanks which he is TO file with
the warden each month.
Hayes was more pleased than he
could state. He waited for some time
after he was dressed and ready ~
leave, until a relative came to accom-
! pany him home. He said he had no
plans for the future but would find
work of some kind.
Hayes said he would like to have
as little said about him in the news
papers as possible.
