Unconscious Bravery.

At a place called Anghin, about for
ty miles south of Bangkok, a China
man and his wife cultivated a small
sugar cane plantation. The man had
been greatly annoyed by having his
cane eaten by his neighbors' buffalo
calves. Coming home one evening just
at dark, he saw what he thought was
one of the marauders at work on the
cane. Stealing silently up behind it,
he struck it a mighty blow with a
heavy club. The animal dropped with
out a sound The Chinaman told his
wife what he had done and added.
"That calf will steal no more Of my
cane In the morning he found that
the "calf'' was full grown tiger. He
had killed 1t by breaking its neck, just
as the woman of Nam had done. And
John was so much impressed with his
own narrow escape that he took to his
bed and was sick for a week.-Youth's

THE RISE OF NEW YORK.
Il Dates From the Time That the Eris
Canal Was Opened.

II we seek the original creator of
landed wealth in New York we must
look over the heads of Aston and the
Goelets to De Witt Clinton. the man
who in 1925 pushed to completion the
Erie canal.
Up to that time New York was not
inevitably marked out for the Amer
lean metropolis. In 1900 Philadelphia
was actually larger city. and Balti
more, with its splendid harbor and its
inland river communication, confident
ly expected to grasp the nations com
mercial leadership.
But the Erie canal changed the stu
alton in twinkling. 1t placed the city
An communication with inland New
Ycrk-an agricultural empire in itself.
whose wealth had previously flowed
By way of the Susquehanna river to
Baltimore-and New York became the
seaport for the agricultural states Dor
aering on the great lakes.
Until the Erie canal was opened it
had cost $S8 ton to transport wheat
from Buffalo to Albany. With this
new waterway the cost fell to some
thing more than So. A string of cities,
several of which became large ones
sprang up along its course, all tribu
tary to New York.-Burton ]. Hendrich

MURKY GREEN PETROLEUM.
Processes by Which It lie Converted
Into Refined Oil. :

Into Refined OIL. :
In its original state petroleum Is of a
murky green color. 1t is distilled In
pans with great furnaces blazing be-
meath them, and as the vapors arise
from the boiling liquid they are con-
veyed into pipes surrounded by cold
water in which they are condensed.
The first vapors condense into naph.
tina and those produced by further
heating give the burning oil. A very
small percentage of the crude oil put
into the pans or stills remains in the
form Of tar, which by another process
is converted into parafin and coke.
After distillation the refined oil is nc
longer green, but is as transparent as
spring water and beautifully tinged
with puppies and blues. II Is not YET
ready for use, however, since Ii must
be washed" The fluid Is emptied into
a large circular tank in which it Ii
treated with acids. these being poured
in and mixed with it by means Of pow
erful pressure from beneath.
When it has been well shaken it Il
allowed to settle, and the acids ther
separate from it and sink to the bot
tom Of the tank. taking with then
some of the tar that remained In the
Oil.
The acids are then removed and thu
oil is washed with salt water. Finally
it is bleached, and it is then ready fol
the market.-Harper's Weekly.

Hyde Must go to Leavenworth
Following the action of the United
States circuit court of appeals in deny
ing a new trial to Charles l.. Hyde, a
wealthy resident Of Pierre, convicted
in the federal court on the charge of
using the mails for fraudulent purposes.
Hyde has been ordered to surrender
himself to the United States marshal
within thirty days after the judgment
or the circuit court of appeals is filed
in the United States court in Sioux
Falls, preliminary to commencing to
serve his sentence of fifteen months
imprisonment in the federal peniten-
tiary at Leavenworth, Kan. In addi-
ton he was fined 81, 500.
Hyde is reputed To be the wealthiest
man in South Dakota, his wealth being
estimated at 81, 900, 900. He was tried
by a jury last December. Evidence
was introduced to prove that HS de had
represented to people in the east that
lots which he had for sale in the out
skirts of Pierre would raise rapidly in
price, and had induced many of these
representations to invest their savings
in these lots, which was of but little if
any value.
He had informed investors by means
of circulars maps and letters circulated
through the mails, that Pierre had
many natural advantages, and that
there were valuable minerals in its
| vicinity. Maps were mailed showing
streetcar lines running past the lots
which he offered for sale, when, as a
matter Of fact, there was no ~streetcar
line in Pierre. Hyde was convicted
by the jury on three counts, on which
he was sentenced Dec. % last to serve
fifteen months in the ~Leavenworth
prison and pay a fine Of 81, 500. The
maximum fine under the law for the
three counts was three years and six
months imprisonment and a fine of
81, 5000.
Hyde appealed to the federal circuit
court of appeals from the verdict of
the jury asking that he be granted a
new trial.

Don't Want Judges Voted For


The sensation of the campaign was
sprung at Pierre last week when
T. II. Null, of Huron, an attorney,
appeared before the Supreme court in
behalf of VIM. Heeley and asked for
an order prohibiting the secretary of
state from certifying any judicial
nominations to county auditors to be
placed upon the ballot this fall.
Mr.. Null contends that the consti-
tuition fixed the judicial elections at the
beginning of statehood the same as all
other elections, but gave the legisla-
ture permission to change such cleo
tons other than general elections, and
this was done in 1890. This, he con-
tends, ended the gran t of power to the
legislature, which was never given
power to change judicial elections back
to the general elections, after having
taken them from that list, and that the
act of 1901, which again places the
judicial elections at the same time as
the election of other officials. was
unconstitutional and void.
The court has set September 16 for
hearing the application.
