Not Hard for Polly.

The late Ned Harrigan, Of Harri-
gan and Hart fame, was a great sto-
ry-teller, and liked nothing better
than to gather a congenial lot
about him in some rathskeller and
entertain them, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat. His parrot story is
one of the best.
"An Irishman by the name of
Burke ran bird and goldfish store
in the Bowery and was noted for his
wit and the funny things he taught
his parrots to say. One day a man
came in who suffered very badly
and says to Burke:
L w-w-want t-to-o b-buy a p-p-p-
ar-r-ot!'
All roight, SIR says Burke, l
have a foine bird here for twenty
dollars.
'C-a-an he t-t-a-alk,' asked the
man.
"'Well, be gorry,' says Burke. II
he culdn't talk better than ye can
Id cut his d. head off. "

A Boomerang of Criticism.

DR.. Edwin A. Alderman, the presl-
dent of the University of Virginia,
tells this story, illustrating the i'm
portance of being careful in criti-
cism:
Il know of certain instructor in
rhetoric who always impressed upon
his students the necessity of clarity
in what they wrote. A young man
brought on one occasion a very care
fully prepared essay.
"a good piece of work." said the
instructor, "but, Mr.. Smith, you
should remember to write every SEN
tence so that the most ignorant per.
son can understand every word you
put down"
The young man looked worried and
asked anxiously:
What part of my essay was not
clear to you, professor?'-Popula1

ACQUITTED IN FEW MINUTES.
Jury Frees Townville Men Charged
With Killing Welborn.

Anderson, May 24.-In less than
five minutes after retiring to the jury
room, the jury with the case of H. W.
Holcomb, Justin E. Wolbright, James
Baldwin and 1. B. Sears, charged
with the murder of Doc Welborn,
mountaineer, on the night Of No
vember 12, 1911, at Townville, this
county, returned a verdict of not
guilty.
Holcomb was chief of police at
Townville at the time, and he, with
the assistance of the three other de-
PENDANTS, arrested and locked up
Welborn for drunkenness and dis
orderly conduct. Soon after We'll
born was placed in the guard house.
the calaboose was discovered to be on
fire. The building was completely
consumed, and in the ashes were
found the charred remains of Wei
born. A detective was engaged and
he worked up sufficient evidence to
cause the arrest of Holcomb and his
assistants.
The case was called for trial yes
terday morning, and was concluded
late this evening. Many witnesses
testified for the State and defence.
The State attempted to prove that
Welborn was beaten up by the OIL
GERS, and that he died from the
wounds inflicted; that the guard
house was fired to hide the crime.
The evidence adduced did not con-
vince the jury that such was the
case, for as soon as a pen could be
had the verdict of not guilty was
rendered. The case attracted intense
interest in the Townville section, and
the sessions of Court yesterday and
to-day have been largely attended,,
many ladies being present.

If all goes well. The reason for the
present discrimination is the cree

the old ones, are now under eonstruc-

John Spitzberger is dead. He W;

John Spitzberger is dead. He was
known as the ''Miser of Vienna,'
but the appellation was unjust for
he did not worship wealth. He
worked hard and denied himself the
necessities of life that he might save
money to found a children's hospital.
And when he died he left 10000
crowns for this purpose. Thus it is
shown that it was not miserliness
which imbued the soul of John Spitz-
berger, but humanitarianism- de-
prived himself Of the comforts of life
that little children might benefit
thereby. ''Your pleasure is to
spend,'' he would reply to the re-
monstrances of his friends, ''mine to
save. Leave me to my pleasure; it
is all for good purpose.

In consequence Of the death of
Vice President Sherman, Chairman
Hilles of the national republican
committee has called meeting of
that body for November II, in Chica-
60, for the purpose of selecting a
successor to James S. Sherman as a
candidate of the republican party
for vice president of the United
States. This is the regulation pro-
cedure in such cases, but the nomi-
nation could not possibly be made
prior to election, as it is necessary
to give at least six days notice to
each committeeman, and Mr.. Sher-
mans death did not occur until
October 30. According to the con-
stitution the succession to the vice
presidency for the unexpired term
goes,to Secretary of State Philander
G.. Knox, who also figures as pres

church must inspire not one party,
but all; else she will foment class
strife. She must not win by wrest-

Jim Gray of the Minneapolis Jour

Milwaukee to write up the socialist
municipal regime, finds that it was
a costly business failure but that the
administration was honest. 1t spent
81, $50, 900 more in two years than
any predecessor. even those which
we're called grating administrations.
This money was not spent in public
improvements, for practically none
were made; the money, it seems to
Mr.. Gray, was just frittered away
as consequence of bad manage
ment. Hence the peculiar fact pre-
sents itself that Milwaukee was less
burdened with taxes and in more
tlourishing condition under alleged
grating administrations than under
a socialist regime.
