Dog In the Cistern

One day last week the agent at
the M. X, & T. depot called the
section men to assist him to re-
move a dog which had annoyed
him for several days, tfrom under
the floor of the depot. Four sec
ton men labored hard all day and
just at night located the dog in an
old well under the center of the
building. The effort to remove the
dog was renewed the next day and
about 10 a. m. the dog was taken
from the we'll apparently not much

Phone Spans 1000 Niles.

New York, May u. For the first
time in history the human voice
carried 1000 miles direct tonight
when New York found Denver over
the lOn5-diStance telephone wires.
Manhattan newspaper men in a
downtown skyscraper, talking to a
group in the Colorado City, picked
up Omaha on the way and also
gossiped with Chicago
A phantom" telephone connect
ed with four copper wires, the thick
ness OF a lead pencil, brought the
cities together and in ali twenty
two people were exchanging mess
ages by telephone and telegraph at
once over these four wires.
While the reporters talked, six
teen telegraph operators worked the
New York-Chicago ends of four
duplex telegraph instruments. The
same four wires and the same cur
rent sufficef for the simultaneous
needs of twenty-five senders and
receivers Of messages.

Not True To Name.

It's a very common thing to buy
double-comb hens, supposedly pure
bred, whose eggs hatch out to single
chickens; to buy a certain sort of
seed which grows up to be some
thing else. and the commOneSt thing
in the world to pay the lOquaciOuS
nursery agent for some fine variety
of apples which turn out to be some
thing entirely different.
Such are said to be not true to
name"
And just as there are chickens
seeds and fruits not true to name,
so are there many men who are
nothing of the sort. Of course they
think they are and to the casual OBJ
server they may appear to be, but
when you get out in the open and
take a good look they are some
other variety.
/ Some are miners who mine from
the earth the stored up richness Of
the centuries and sell it off in the
form OF grain, making no effort to
replace it. In fact, the number Of
miners is very large, far larger by

worse for the wear A live chicken
was also taken out Of the well at
the same time. There was little or
no water in the well. The agent
says the dog was in the well fully
six days before being rescued and
as for the chicken, there was no
way OF ascertaininG just how long
it had been imprisoned.
The well or cistern was about Il
feet deep and was made many years
ago when the original building was
not so large as it is now ana when
the company built an addition it
Was placed directly over the well
and the workmen failed to seal the
well up and the great wonder IS
that many dogs, rabbits and other
small animals have not persisted in
the death trap, This old cistern
had been forgotten by nearly all
the old citizens of Monroe. Persons
who have been familiar with this
depot for IS years had no idea OF
the existence of the we'll under the
floor near the center of the building

When Mel, the French general,
was returning home from the scene
Of his victories in the war between
France and Austria he received
from a peasant who wished to hon
or the hero a basket Of beautiful
pale yellow roses. One Of the stems
the general took to a florist in Paris,
in whose care II remained until il
became a thriving bush covered
with blossoms. Mel then took the
plant as a gift to the Empress Eu-
genie. She expressed great admira-
ton for the exquisite flowers and
on learning that the rose was
nameless said:
~Then I'll name Il. II shall be
the Marechal Mel"
At the same time she bestowed
upon the astonished general the
jeweled baton that betokened his
promotion to the high and much
coveted rank Of marshal Of France.

The largest nugget of gold ever
found, known as the "Welcome''
nugget, was dug up at Bakery hill,
near Ballarat, in Australia, in the
early days Of gold mining in that
country, and was sold for S46,625.
II weighed 2,159 ounces, so that the
price obtained was S21 per ounce.
When melted in London a few
months later It was found to con-
tain more than 80 per cent Of pure

THE SUPREME BENCH.



Dignity Of the Court and the Awe II
Always Inspires.
The life Of a justice on the bench
Of the supreme court Of the United
States comes as near being an ideal
way to spend ones allotted span Of
years on this sphere as is permitted
in this sadly ordered world. II be be
properly selected the justice loves
his work. What he has 10 do affords
him the chief pleasure Of his days.
He has the consciousness that it is
important work; that as he decides
win affect for good or i'll not only
men now living, but in many in
stances the unborn sons Of men.
Inherent in a seat on the bench
are great powers and grave respon-
sibilities, which may be exercised in
absolute detachment from all world
" interests and without fear, favor
or hope Of reward. The justice is
far removed from daily temptation,
from opportunities and pleadings
from the demands and exactions Of
friendships and from all the little
things that swerye the cold proc
esses Of reason in the forming Of
the average mans judgments.
However long and intimately one
may be in contact with the supreme
court, it always exacts an invoIun-
tary trembling Of the knees as q
mark Of respect. It is Of record
that one lawyer at least tainted
from sheer fright when he arose
for the first time 10 address the
court. Lawyers who have had much
supreme court practice have told
me that they have never got over
their awe Of the court and that they
never rise 10 address it without
little attack Of stage fright" and
much inward quaking.
The court has long, ancient, hon
orable and high traditions, and its
members do their best 70 sustain
them. Where men appointed to the
court have not been able to live up
10 the high mental standards set BY
some Of their predecessors, they
have at least been able to insist
upon and demand rigid conforma-
ton TO the forms and practices es-
tablishcd BY the court 10 maintain |
