situation to be. He knew all those

He was not a man easily startled, but

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

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 1t
came to him naturally, for even as a
small boy the purity of his soul shone
through his face. 81 think the first
time was ever called Honest John
was when l was quite youngster,"
said Kelly. "A man engaged as an
ambulatory salesman Of tinware OBJ
served the ingenious cOnntenance /
presented to the world and hailed me.
You look honest, boy said he. 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 a drink said he.
And so / held his horse while he went
in the saloon and got drink. But
this was on lower Ninth avenue, in a
day when the avenues honors went
to the man who could clean the most
cops in D. given time. BY and by the
gang came along and beheld that
wagon full of tinware. The peddler
was detained within by sore thirst,
'and they took the tinware. And then
they came back and took the cush-
ions off the wagon. Eventually, be-
coming daring, they unhitched the
wagon and took 1t away. True to my
trust, stood there, holding the horse.
And by and by the peddler came out
of the saloon and sized up the situa-
ton. Well said he warmly, you're
Honest John, all right. You saved the
horse"

TOO MANY HALF-BAKED LAWS
Illinois Attorney General Says Assem-
bly, Pass Meaningless Acts That
Cause Endless Trouble.

Springfield, III. - Illinois is not
hampered with old laws, but half
baked and meaningless acts, passed
by the general assembly cause endless
trouble This information is contained
in the biennial report of Attorney
General Stead, which was submitted
to Governor Deneen.
The report also contains sugges-
tions and recommendations which will
be sent to the general assembly next
week.
Laws are enacted, repealed, amend
ed and reconstructed in bewildering
profusion," the report says.
Schemes to regulate and in many
instances revolutionize the courts, pro-
fessions, different occupations and
various departments of state govern
ment, are worked out over night,
rushed into type under title of an en-
acting clause and introduced as bills
the next morning. From these and
perhaps other causes has resulted a
conglomerate mass of legislation
which is inconsistent, ambiguous, often
meaningless and sometimes vicious" +"

Laffon had set out to win the $780,

club Of France for a round trip to
the Belgian capital within 36 hours.
Laffon and Paula set out shortly aft
er dawn and a big crowd cheered
them as the propellers began to hum
and the great aeroplune arose.
90 Laffon sent the machine in an east
erly direction and it was apparent
ly working perfectly. Before he had
gone far the motor began to miss ere
and the car wobbled through the air
at times in an alarming manner.
Suddenly those who were watching
saw Laffon fumbling frantically with
the machinery as the motor stopped.
A gust of wind caught the wings and
the machine turned over while Laf-
fon and Paula clung to the frame
work. The aeroplane swept downward

the wreckage.

California a population of 2,377,549, a
