Joe Kelly and Attorney General Mil
Ter both came in for a, good share OF
encomiums used in the opposite sense.
The former Counsellor Cuthbert brand
ed the ":Dick Croker'' of Devils Lake
and North Dakota, who, he declared,
wanted to remove judge during the
construction Of railroad.
Likening the present situation to the
great drama Of Charles Klein, The
Lion and the Mouse, he said the Cowan
case was but a repetition of that strong
play in real life. Instead of pushing
this great Impeachment case he thought
Mr.. Kelly ought to devote his railroad
receipts into the proper channels.
81 suppose the stockholders OF the
Farmers railroad will have to 90 an
other ten years without dividends," he
said. st think the Dick Croker Of Dew
lis Lake ought to give the farmers
whose lands he took from them, divi-
dends instead Of trying to get judge
who suits him.
Wading into the attorney general,
he declared that Devils Lake was just
as clean little city as could be found
in North Dakota land whole lot clean
er than some towns not thousand
miles from where he stood, "with my
compliments to Attorney eneral Mil
ler.''
Referring to Joe Kelly again, and his
attitude as Richard Croker, the once
corrupt leader of Tammany hall, he
said he had high respect for good
clean democrat who came out ans
fought in the open, just as he liked the
good, clean, open fighters in his ows
party.
"But our Dick Croker,'' he shouted
sis not content with naming the othc1
district judges over the state, bu
wants to name the one in his own dis
trict."
| This was taken with some signiti
canoe, as Mr.. Cuthbert is forme,
partner of the governor, into who's
hands in the last four years has falle'
the appointment of several of the dis
trict judges of North Dakota.

tiful design, one on the outer and one on the inner surface of the walls. In our climate this would produce nearly complete darkness, but in India, and in a building wholly composed of white marble, this was required to temper the glare that otherwise would have been intolerable As 1t is, no words could express the chastened beauty of that central chamber, seen in the soft gloom of the subdued light that reaches it through the distant and half-closed openings that sur round it.
 Of the essential and eternal charm of the Tai a prominent writer says:
 You will understand the Tai best if you wait till the rosy feeces have faded in the afterglow and the nipples of the Jumna run steel-gray in the waning light. A bird springs up, and the leaves of the thuia and the pepal murmur together as the darkness grows. A flying-fox with leathern wings wheels down from above, and a morrice of bats herald the coming of the moon in the evening silence. And then you will understand that 1t does not matter whether you can see the Tai or not. It is no question now of dome or gateway, silver-work, or inlaid jewels. But as the dusk deep ems you will come to know that the frail little body buried far down in its jeweled alabaster beside her faithful lord, stands, and will always stand, for all that men hold dear or sacred in this world. However splendid or costly it may be, however renowned, however beautiful, the Tai itself is but an emblem and a symbol. So long as men and women love upon this earth, so long shall they go to the quiet garden beside the Jumna to lay their flowers in the honor of Muntaz alone, not of Ustad-Isa, not of Shah Jehan, nor of another. For she loved and was much beloved"

nIamonda rhat ExpIode.

In his cantor lecture at the London Royal Society of Arts Dr. A. B. Tut on. the leading expert on crystallog- -aph. said that diamonds were prob ply formed from fused carbon at great unknown temperatures and under such oressures as could only exist at enor- nous depths below the surface of the earth.
 When they came within the reach of he miner they had travelled upwards, probably by volcanic action, for long way. It was we'll known that the re- lief from pressure afforded in this way caused many diamonds to break, as the volcanic rocks in which they were first imbedded decayed into the famous blue clay. Workmen in the Kimberley mines knew that diamonds often exploded soon after being dug out of the earth
 This explosion was greatly assisted by heat, and many accidents had oc- cured by the Kaflrs hiding newly found diamonds in their mouths. The lecture was illustrated by experiments with ten diamond crystals lent by Sir w. Crooks.

superannuated.

Nothing, not even death itself, is so much dreaded by Methodist preach CT as superannuation. It means cessa- ton of pastoral work. It means that he Is no longer acceptable as a preach CT.
 It means that he must go out, often without a home or means of support, into poverty and old age. The largest allowance paid to superannuate from what Is known as the conference col lection." is not half the average salary of the active pastor. And the pastor who can save anything out of his sal ary for old age is more fortunate than most of us have been.
 The experience is the testing time in a Methodist preachers life. He has nothing before him but years of grow ing weakness and infrmity, nothing in the past but memories of activity, the very recalling of which grieves his soul, because he can be active no more, and even the love of his brethren is too often of the pitying sort that only adds to his sense of loneliness. Happy indeed Is he whose faith does not fail during these twilight years The Independent.

Old Rooty's Ghost.

An apparition was once the subject of a trial in the court of kings bench. This was the case known to lawyers as "Old Booty's Case'' and was an ac- tion for libel brought by his widow against a certain Captain Barnaby for saving that he had seen Old Booty, chased by the devil, disappear in the chased by the devil, disappear The trial took place before Sir Rob- ert Wright, lord chief justice of England, and a jury in 1888. The de fense was that the words spoken were actually true, and Captain Barnaby produced thirty witnesses (capta1ns and sailors) to testify to the fact that they had also at the time mentioned, in May, 1887, seen Old Booty or his apparition disappear into the crater.
 Their statements were further sub stantiated by the ships log books, by which the remarkable fact appeared that allowing for the difference in time the apparition was seen at the moment of Old Booty's death With such evidence before him the lord chief justice summed up strongly in Captain Barnaby's favor, saying, ac- cording to the report: Lord have mercy upon me and grant that l may never see what you have seen- One. two. three witnesses may be mis- taken, but thirty never" And so Mrs. Booty lost her case

REAL JOY OF OLD AGE
TRUE FRIENDSHIP EXISTS ONLY
 IN THAT PERIOD.
Young People Are Too chaneeabIe and Those of Middle Age Too Absorbed in Their Strug-
 gle for Life.

Old age has its real joys, which are not only efforts to make the best of bad thing. I do not want to appear paradoxical, but do not think 1t is paradox when I assert that the old man or woman, with a good disposi- ton, is more able than anybody else to enjoy friendship, love and-youth.
 Young people know something of friendship, middle aged ones do not but old people know it thoroughly.
 Friendship among the young is comradeship, companionship hastily chosen. more warm than deep, very capricious, very changeable and all ways with vague feeling that it is not going to last long. far less for ever
 Friendship between men of mature age does not exist, or is at least thing so rare, that it need not be taken into consideration at all. At that age a person has rivals, who are sometimes loyal, sometimes sympa- thetic and kind; of friends he has none, if by friends you understand people who take pleasure in your sue cess as in their own and think of your welfare as their own.
 The struggle for life makes such thing impossible, because it puts into conflict with each other the very peo- pie, who, because of their common tastes and efforts, ought to be friends. It is the age when you havo vague feeling of distant friends who follow your doings with interest in whom you take a certain amount of interest, but whom you really d1 not know, and If perchance you came to know them, you care less for them, because you have reason to fear them, as they have reason to fear you. They are friends whom you ignore and whom 1t Is well that you should ignore, friends to whom you say: My friends-I have no friends
 Mature age knows no friendship. It knows only patrons or clients or GUS toners The man of middle age has patrons and clients. He Is protected and protector, he may be protected without loss of dignity and act as pro tector without impudence, and if so. he knows at least that cool and pleas ant shadow of friendship. but never theless he remains delicately protect ed and protecting, while friendship is something far more than that.
 The old man knows friendship. He knows the real, true friendship, be- cause he receives disinterested friend ship and gives friendship that carries it no material advantages. Those who are fond of him are not courting his protection nor gives it to those he cares for. Old age Is like poverty. Just as a rich man never knows If he is loved for his own sake, and as the rich young girl never knows if the man who tells her he loves her, really loves her or just her money, so the old man and the poor man are the only ones who may be sure that their friends are really their friendE.

WESTERN LAND OF ROMANCE
Mexico Is RepIete With Stories of chiValry, Devotion and the Ad-
 ventures of Love.

If Cervantes smiled Spain's chivalry away he failed to carry his influence into Mexico. That country has always been a land of romance. The people there have clung to the habits which grew out of their old Spanish ancestry and their climatic environment They still have their midday siesta, their feast days and holidays, spend their money freely and dress poorly. The present insurrection is full of episodes that would happen probably in no other country of the world. Out of them the imagination of a Hugo, a Dumas or a Scott might build many a romance of love and adventure. For in Mexico love and fighting still go together, as they used to do in the days of medieval knight errantry.
 A striking and at the same time somewhat pathetic illustration of this was the long journey over the desert to the town of Juarez undertaken by number of women, wives, mothers and sweethearts of the soldiers at the front. Accompanied by children, dogs, cats and goats, they travelled more than 200 miles to be near the soldier boys, for whom Mexican women feel so romantic an attachament.
 The women had been left behind in Chihuahua when two battalions of Mexican infantry were sent to the bor- der Impatient at the absence of those they loved, they got pushcart, loaded 1t with such necessary articles as 1t would hold and propelled it over the dreary wastes and around the burned bridges, taking their turn in squads at pushing the cart The journey occu- pied two weeks, food being obtained at few settlements which lay along the. route. Each of these women might make a heroine of romance, for they knew neither fear nor fatigue where love was concerned.
 But the romance of the Mexican insurrection has not been confined to the women. A few days ago Gen. Cuel- lar, chief of staff to President Diaz, who defeated Francisco Madero's army at Casas Grandes, but lost an arm in the engagement, telephoned his condo lence to Madero on the reported death of the insurgent leaders father. It is said, too, the Madero's son sent a message of regret to Cuellar on the latter's loss of his arm. The two had once been school fellows together. All this is very picturesque and romantic. But the present Is practical age and impulse and emotionalism need 8 strong hand for guide.

Didn't Appreciate Pipes Color.


 "The meerschaum has indeed fal len on evil days when its most devout- ly to be wished for condition arrives and is mistaken for a fault" a pipe repairer said as he produced a finely colored example of its kind for inspec- tion. This is very good pipe and you see how beautiful it turned out after being boiled
 "The young chap who brought it in to me, though, had a different idea about the matter. After pointing ou~ the discoloration caused by the tobac- co smoke he demanded that I remove it and make the pipe white again. l thought he was joking at frst, but finally concluded that I was actually taking to a man who had no concep- tion of the number of generations who have burned their tongues and parch- ed their throats to get their meer- schaums into the condition his was in at that minute.
 Finally I convinced him of the true state of affairs and he left his pipe with me, not to be made immac- ulate once more, but to be boiled un- til the color was permanently set.
 q suppose that's the kind of peo- ple," the pipe man moodily conclud- ed. "who want to have all the weath- cred bronze statues scrubbed and pol ished until they shine like brass"

A Sermon Syndicate.

A method of sermon collaboration which may exercise great influence upon the vexed problem of church at tendance was recently tried at Los Angeles. Nine ministers of that city got together and produced one sermon and on the next Sunday nine congre- cations listened to the same sermon. one of the best they had ever heard.
 Such a plan makes good use of di. versified gifts. One preacher may be skilful in the use of illustrations, an other particularly happy in literary and historical allusions, a third a mas ter in theology. another gifted with evangelistic fervor. and so on through all the elements that may enter into a sermon.-Leslie's Weekly.

NOTED MAN PASSES

Famous American Who Was Active in Many Lines Leaves Enduring Works to Perpetuate His
 Name.

Cambridge, Mass.-In the death of Col Thomas Wentworth Higginson, which took place here in his S7th year, there passes one of the coun- try's most noted men. Historian, author, clergyman, soldier and aboli- tionist, he was active in many lines and leaves enduring works to per petuate his name.
 Col Higginson was a student un- der Longfellow, neighbor of Oliver Wendell Holmes, college mate of Edward Everett Hale and friend of Emerson, Whittier and Longfellow. As essayist, historian, biographer and writer for the young, he made for himself an unusual place in American literature. Though the author of a volume of verse, he never claimed place as poet. modestly entitling this work Such as They Are
 Col Higginson was born in Cam bridge, Mass, in 1923 and graduated from Harvard in 1841. In 1S47 he graduated from the Divinity school in Cambridge and the same year was ordained pastor of the First Congre- gational Church at Newburyport, Mass. He left this church in 1850 be- cause of the unpopularity of his anti slavery teachings, and in the same year stood unnecessarily as the Free Soil candidate for congress. He then became pastor of a church in Worcester, Mass, from 1852 to 1858. Leaving his charge in the latter year he devoted himself to literature and to anti-slavery agitation. For his part in the attempted rescue of An thony Burns, famous incident in the anti-slavery days, he was indicted for murder, together with Theodore Park CT, Wendell Phillips and others. but
