THE MAN BEHIND THE LAW.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.

Governor Deneen of Illinois, togeth-
er with party of friends. was arrest
ed not long ago for a law violation.
1t is a fine story.
The party, occupying an automobile,
was returning from club reception
near Peoria and was stopped by a po-
liceman named Hill.
You haven't the required number of
lights on your car, and, besides, you
have exceeded the speed limit" said
the policeman.
''See here" interrupted the chauffeur;
"cut this out. Those are big people.
When you know who they are you will
not want to be so gay"
Il don't care who they are; they
can't violate the law" answered Po-
liceman Hill.
II am Governor Deneen." said the
chief executive, standing up in the
car. what offense are we guilty of"
The policeman almost fell off his mo-
torcycle when he saw the governors
familiar face. but he was game.
Cant help it, governor" he said.
."rhe law must be enforced"
II agree with you" replied the gov
ernor. Are we going to be hauled
in"
Guess I'd better send you down to
the station and see what the sergeant
says" said HILL
The automobile was driven to the
station. where the parties were book
ed" for failing to comply with the law
requiring lights on the cars at night.
Said | not it is fine story?
1t reads like those army incidents In
which the generals party approaches
the picket line and is refused admis-
orders to admit no one without the
proper password.
Policeman Hill enforced the law
without distinction of persons.
The governor was quick to see the
policeman's point. and he set a good
example by prompt obedience to the
law.
Proper law enforcement must in
clude all infractions Of the law, wheth-
er by high or low.
1t is a trite but true saying that
what we need is not so much the pas
sage of new laws as the strict and
equitable enforcement of the old laws.
As it is the man behind the gun"
who wins the victories of war, so the
man behind the law wins the victories
of peace.
And as the man behind the law
must enforce the law. so the man in
front Of the law must obey the law.

Heart toHeart
Talks.
SHE WAS NOT CRAZY.
By EDWIN A. NYR.

A Mrs. Mogg wanted to put the fam
lily dog into the grave of her husband
which, to say the least. was queer.
Now Mrs. Mogg has died and has
left $4,000 to a hospital, whereat the
heirs have brought suit to break the
will. They declare Mrs. Mogg was in.
sane and plead the dog incident as
proof.
But why insane? 1t may be granted
her funereal impulse was much out of
date. but
Burying dogs and other animals with
the dead was ali the rage In the early
history of the race.
For many centuries Lo. the poor
Indian, kept the custom of his ances-
tors by going to his happy hunting
ground along with his favorite dog and
gun.
Back east our Aryan ancestors were
much more savage in their burial &C.
centricities. Even up to recent times
II was the custom in India to pile O
mans living widows into a funeral
pyre. put the dead body on top of the
poor wives and set fire to the mass.
In the interior of Africa they do it
differently. They dig trench, put
into It the body of the big chief and
then kill q selected number Of his
wives and bury them with him.
Poor human race! 1t has been slow
in getting away from savagery.
Looking backward. we can see how
far we have come by the way of prog
ress.
Note another incident: Not long ago
meteor fell near Ell Paso, Tex, and
exploded. starting forest fire.
What happened? Why, the people
merely set to work to put out the for
est fire. and that was all of 1t, except
some of the fragments were picked up
and sent to the college museums.
Suppose such a thing had occurred
500 years ago? The inhabitants would
have been on their knees expecting the
end Of the world. They would have
acted like some of our ignorant who
dreaded the coming of Halley's comet.
A few superstitious ones still regard
the phenomena of the universe as mi
raculous, but the great mass Of the
people know better. We have been
educated far away from our ancestors.
But poor Mrs. Mogg is simply what
they call "reversion to type" De-
string to do something for the dead
she loved. the idea of her savage ances-
tors popped into her head, and she
thought to cheer the poor ghost of her
husband with the company of the
faithful dog.
There are lot of people outside the
asylums more nearly crazy than Mrs.
Mogg.

robes, and asked: What child can tell
me who this is?" Out of the silence
piped little Jeans voice: Il think it's

CONJURING BIRDS.
Trick sparrows Of Honskons and One
Of THAR Eeats

Trick sparrows Of Honskons and Ono
Of Their Feats.
The famous Chinese conjuring birds
are Java sparrows. At street corners
In Hongkong sedate old Chinese may
be seen putting the birds through their
tricks for the benefit Of strangers.
Each birdcage has sliding door,
and just outside this Is a pack Of little
cardcases, each containing a picture
and small pot holding half q dozen
grains Of rice.
When the stranger, pursuant to the
suggestion of the owner, hands over
the necessary coin this is placed with
the pack of cards at the cage door.
Then the owner will undo the fasten-
ing Of the door. The bird, eying the
coin, then the cards, then the coin
again, as If he thought his perform
ance too cheaply valued, descends
from his perch, opens the door with
his beak, hops. outside, draws a card
from the pack and passes 1t to his
master. He receives in reward one
grain of rice.
The man takes the little picture
from the case received from the bird
and hands it to the stranger to inspect.
He then returns 1t to the case, accom-
panied by the tiniest fiat slip of bam-
boo, and shufiies the case up with the
rest Of the pack. The bird descends
and selects case, and the stranger
opens 1t, to find the identical one con-
talning the bamboo.
How can this be accounted for? The
only possible way Of explaining is
that the bamboo slip is slightly scent
ed.-Exchange.

FREAKS OF NATURE.
Two Queer Rock Formations on the
island Of ST. Helena.

Two QueeF noSk FOFUatiOnS On t1e
island Of ST. Helena.
There are at least two queer freaks
of nature on the island of st. Helena
or, rather, four, for one of them is a
group of three figures - known the
world over as the Devils Nose" and
Lot and His Daughters" ANY one
who is able to study the island as 1t is
and not run wild over the Napoleonic
legends which have clustered about
that "seabound rock" since the days
when the Little Corporal" was housed
there In his living grave will find much
that will repay for investigation, time
and study.

"Lot and His Daughters" are three
conical rocks which can only be con
jured into representing a man aud two
women by strong play of the imag-
nation. According to the views of
some writer's they are weather worn
statues of colossal size, probably the
work of some aborigines of the island.
Their gigantic size, however, would
seem to preclude this idea. When or
by whom they were dubbed Lot and
His Daughters" no authority has ven
tured to say.
