GETS NEW TRIAL IN MEXICO AND REDUCTION OF FORMER
 SENTENCE.
Was Convicted of Killing a Negro and Sentenced to Death-Reduced to
 Nine Years.

Mexico City, June 26.--After having served already more than four years in jail Samuel l.. Hampton today was placed on trial before a jury to an- swer to the charge of having mur- dered Lige Patterson, negro.
 Sentenced to death, Hampton. through his attorney, secured from the supreme court an order for a new trial. As in the fomer trial, an effort was made today to show that he was drunk when he killed the ne- gro. Hampton shot Patterson to death one night in a saloon. Witnesses testified that Hampton killed Patter- son after remarking this is the way we kill negroes in Texas"
 Hampton was a conductor on the Mexican Central. His home in the United States was in Arkansas.
 Tonight the jury returned a verdict of guilty but fixing the penalty at nine years imprisonment. The effect of this decision is to grant liberty to Hampton within a few Jays. Un- der the law the term of imprisonment dates from the day the offense was committed which in the case of Hampton was March 9, 1907. For gool behaviour it Is customary to cut in half the sentence so that having been imprisoned almost half the time Hampton will be released perhaps be- fore the end of the month.

Leandor Much.
Inhumerable are the tales of actors
In difficulties. Here is one related Of
Christian BrandGs, the dramatiSt, who
In his youth belonged to a stroling
company which played pieces of an
extremely primitive kind.
On one occasion the play was entl.
tied "IIcro and Leander," the dialogue
being left pretty much to the dlscre-
ton Of the players. 1t had been
agreed, however, that Hero was to be
coy and not confess her love for Lean
der till he had again and again ex-
pressed his readiness to be hanged
burned and drowned in her behalf.
But the lady was soft hearted, besides
being exceedingly fond of Brandes,
nor could she listen unmoved to the
first passionate pleadings Of the youth,
who explained that he had swum
across the uellespont to see her. My
dear Leander," she exclaimed, II can
not resist you. Accept my hand and
my heart"
Leander knew not what to say. All
his prepared phrases were useless.
Tho manager came to his aid with a
loud whisper addressed to Hero, 'In
the tlend's name, improyise few
words and retire!"
Tho poor girl, turning to the audi
ence, repeated her lesson. IN the

VALUE OF SYSTEM.
Whether In Working or Thinking II
Helps on to Success.


Working or thinking without system
enfeebles the mind and leaves the
mental faculties in a clogged condi-
ton, so that they do not work sharply.
The mind must be kept clear and clean
for the present problem, so that it
may seize and grasp with all its might
the thing 1t is attempting to accom-.
plish.
There is only one best way to learn
how to act. That way is the way Of
system. Systematic your thoughts,
your energies, your abilities. Learn
early In life to do this, and it will
prove the master habit that wins sue.
cess.
Systemless men are always surprised
that the heads Of great enterprises
can find so much time for social life,
for hobbies, for travel. They cannot
understand 1t at all. They do not
realize that a man of great organizing
ability, with a splendid system, can
do more effective business in a single
hour at his Office than a systemless
man can accomplish in twelve. 1t is
not the number of hours, but the ef-
fectiveness of the system, that tells.
One Of the advantages Of college
course is that 1t trains the mind to
work by system. Whether he likes to
or not, the student is forced to con-
centrate his mind when the time
comes, no matter what his mood or
how he feels. Four years of training
in this should put the mind into work
ing order. 1t should tune the intellect
so that all the strings will be in
harmony. A good college education
should train the mind to think con-
cisey, deeply, effectively at will

ANIMALS IN A FRENZY.
There's Danger Afoot When Captive
Wild Beasts "Go Bad"


What those who have charge of wild
animals in captivity, and especially
trainers, dread most among the large
beasts is that ineXplicable change Of
temperament on the part Of the ami
nal known IN the parlance Of the me-
nagerie as "going bad"
Lions are likely to go bad about the
tenth year Of life; tigers, two or three
years earlier. The male tiger Is the
dread of the profession when he
reaches this condition, because he is
more likely to go into frenzy without
warning, and once gone bad nothing
will satisfy him but murder.
He will leap for any man within
reach, and when once his teeth are on
the bone nothing but fire will make
him relinquish it, and not always that.
This "going bad" may come in the
nature of a sudden attack or it may
develop slowly and be counteracted if
taken in time. An old trainer can
usually detect the symptoms Of this
curious ailment. 1t seems to be In
the nature Of a disease, and other AMI
mails recognize it and shun the affect
ed one.
When it's progress is apparent the
danger is not great. All that is re-
quired then is a level head and the
wisdom to refrain from further inter
ference with the animal.
Sometimes this bad temper will last
but short time, and again it will be-
come the permanent condition Of the
animal. In that case he is sent to the
lonely cage to spend the rest of his
life in comparative obscurity, dis
turbed merely by the passing crowd
and his daily meals.-PearSon's Week

Problems SchooIboys Had to Solve
Thirty-six Centuries Ago.
There is a ray Of vindictive comfort
for the modern schoolboy in the fact
that for over 5000 years his schoolboy
progenitors have been worried by just
such problems in arithmetic as annoy
him most
Among the archaeological discoveries
made in Egypt is papyrus roll, in
excellent condition, dating from about
100 B. C. This roll, which had a
long heading beginning, "DirectionS
how to attain the knowledge of all
dark things" proves beyond doubt that
the Egyptians Of that time had a
thorough knowledge of the elements
of arithmetic.
Numerous examples show that their
principal operations with units and
fractions were made by means of ad'
dition and multiplication. Subtrac.
tion and division were not known in
their present form, but correct results
were obtained nevertheless.
Equations are also found in the papy-
rus. Here is one that brings the Egyp'
tian schoolboy home to us:
Ten measures Of barley are to be d.
vided among ten persons in such man
ner that each subsequent person shall
receive one-eighth less than the one
before him.
Another example given is: There are
seven men; each one has seven cats;
each cat has eaten seven mice; each
mouse has eaten seven grains Of bar
ley; each grain Of barley would have
yielded seven measures Of barley.
How much barley has been lost?
The papyrus also contains the calcu-
lation of the area Of a circle, attempts
to square the circle and finally calcula-
tions Of the cubic measurements Of
pyramids. New York Tribune.
