GOT HIS SoBRIQUET EARL
"Honest John" Kelly Proved His Right
to the Title Long Before
ManheOd.

There have been many stories about
the manner in which Honest John
Kelly, the ex-umpire, first got his nick
name. Mr.. Kelly himself, according
to a New York letter, holds that II
came to him naturally, for even as
small boy the purity of his soul shone
through his face. 81 think the first
time I was ever called Honest John
was when l was quite a youngster,
said Kelly. "a man engaged as an
ambulatory salesman of tinware OBJ
served the ingenious countenance
presented to the world and hailed me.
You look honest, boy" said ne. What
might your name be?' john said !,
quite simply. 'John'-just like that.
Then hold my horse while l go in
the saloon and get drink, said he.
And SO l held his horse while he went
in the saloon and got drink. But
this was on lower Ninth avenue, in
day when the avenues honors went
to the man who could clean the most
COPS in a given time. By and by the
gang came along and beheld that
wagon full of tinware, The peddler
was detained within by a sore thirst,
and they took the tinware. And then
they came back and took the cush-
ions off tho wagon. Eventually, be-
coming daring, they unhitched the
wagon and took it away. True to my
trust, stood there, holding the horse.

Young Ace Pensions.

Young-age pensions! Why not? tt
ties, honors, riches, pensions and most
other good things are, as rule, post
poned to a period of life when the ca
pacity for enjoying them has been
blunted. Australia was one of the
first countries to adopt old-age pen
sions, and now a Labor member of the
commonwealth parliament proposes a
complementary scheme of young-age
pensions. He would start by pension
ing the fourth child at birth. The fact
that three had previously been born
showed that the parents were doing
their duty and deserving well of the
state. The young-age pension would
reward industry and encourage the
birth rate."-London Chronicle.

that he remained perfectly idle all

Many Pray for Pardons.

Many Pray for Pardons.
Governor Davidson is flooded with
appeals for pardons. The fact that 1t
is holiday season and that he is about
to retire as the chief executive of the
state apparently has inspired the hope
in the hearts of many prisoners that
the governor might celebrate his re-
tirement by making many pardons
Many appeals are received by long
distance telephone and through the
mails. In not few instances per-
sonal friend of some prisoner calls
upon the chief executive. Governor
Dayidson's desk is piled high with
pardon appeals, and if he dropped all
other work he would be kept busy
reading documents relating stories of
heart interest. In the majority of
cases the appeals come from life
prisoners and prisoners who have
been given long terms.
