The common phrase death agony is

Death by decapitation or electricity is
only a momentary shock. hardly felt.
Death by poisoning varies in painful
ness according to the poison employed.
Opium and other narcotics probably

know from the account of the death

THE trotting horse is infinitely more
practical and useful, speaking on
broad lines, than the thoroughbred. ="
said well known horse breeder, TO a
Washington Herald reporter. "A thor
oughbred has the speed for burst of
time, but when it comes to do hard
work every day, day after day and
all the year around. it cannot COM
pete with the trotting horse. The thor
ouChbred is rattle Drained. has no
sense. is beyond all control. 1t doesn't
know when TO stop or what to do in
a race: it simply runs until it cannot
run any longer. whereas the trotting
horse Is under the control of its driver
from start TO finish and obeys orders
Mt any time. The thoroughbred natu-
rally exceeds the trotter in burst of
speed. but in the long run it cannot
compete. AS general proposition. it
is accepted among horsemen that the
trotting horse is superior to the thor
oughbred for general purposes"

ArtfuI LEGAL Tactics.

Lord Chancellor Erskine. with all his
arts and all his intrepidity in the face
of judge or jury was easily upset by
anything which touched his amour

had all the susceptibility which at

knowing this. used to plant a man in
court in full view of Erskine to yawn
hideously ut his most eloquent appeals
or to litter at his most tragic tones
Once when Garrow, the well known
counsel, lost in thought. had fixed his
eyes vacantly upon him Erskine was
so put out that he stopped down and
hissed in his ear, Who the devil do

blanket of n face of yours before

cism followed him into the house of

STORY OF HER LIFE
Actress Who Broke With Bclasco As

Penniless and Debt Ridden Into the
World.

Los Angeles-Mrs. Leslie Carter, in
sixteen years, earned $4,000, 900.
When she quit David Belasco she
had just sixty-five cents in the world.
She began again. owing $3.50, 900,
with mortgages on her mothers home.
on her own costumes, her automobile
and on her future.
she had been forced through bank
ruptcy, but is paying every legitimate
dept she owes as fast as she can earn
the money. Week before last she
paid 1880 to her creditors.
AS she sat in her drawing room the
other day, Mrs. Carter was dressed
In becoming but inexpensive motor
ing clothes. There was not Jewel on
her person, no slightest Indication Of
the abandon Of costly adornment
which usually marks the women stars
when blathering about art and the
nrst person singular with reporters,
to contest with the red gold OF her
hair, or rival the sparkle of her ul-
tramarlne eyes.
And she told frankly the tale OF her
struggle to retrieve what she said had
been taken from her and the prom
'se OF success that now illumines her
life.
VI do not know when the break came"
she said. 'Mr. Belasco was married,
Why should I not marry? He had a
home, why should not have one?
But 1t did come and since then I
have had to contend with task

up his hands in exhaustion and quit.

This is a distressing subject for
me to discuss, but II is just as well to
have the public know And I want
to say emphatically that could and
would pay every cent I owe to day
and have plenty of money left IL Mr..

that is mine
81 viii tell you how I have been
attacked. There was running ac-

HIS HAPPY THOUGHT.

It Let the New Train Dispatcher OF
Without an Accident.
An operator for western railroad
who had served his company long and
well was called into the office one day
and asked If he thought he could hold
down the job Of night dispatcher He
promptly replied that he could and
was told to report for duty that night.
and his chief instructed him in what
he was to do. Just after the chief left
the office 1t began TO blow and snow,
and the trains commenced to run late.
The new night dispatcher soon had de-
veloped bad case of "rattles' and al
dent, and he could not handle the
trains. So happy thought struck
him. AS fast as report came in be
replied, directing the conductor to take
siding and wait for orders, and 1t
was not a great while until he had
every train on the division sidetracked.
Then he took book, lighted his pipe
and sat down to wait for daylight. In
the morning the chief appeared, with
anxiety written all over his face.
ANY accidents. Johnny" asked the
chief.

the sidetrack, showed In and waiting
for orders, and you will have to get
'em out. l am going to blow this job
1t took the chief and his force nearly
all day to- get the trains Strengthened

Girls who want 10 give clever mid

a guessing luncheon. in which all or
many OF the dishes are given names, says
the Philadelphia Star.
Every guest is given a chance TO ind
out what the food is before the feast
Is served. Cards are handed around and
small pencils. There are a dozen or
more sentences written on the card.
each OF which stands for a food The
one who guesSes the most Of these cor
rectly IS awarded a prize. Il Is not
necessary TO serve the food; It is only
necessary to guess ii. A tumble would
result if the hostess served the lunch
which is on the card.
One Of the best Of these is as follows:
l. Emblem of silence-Oysters
. The penalty Of looking backward
