Won q Grim Smile.

A certain European regiment sta
toned in northern India has a colonel
who has only once been seen to laugh.
A private Of this corps, while a
prisoner in the guard room for a mill
tary offense, bet the sergeant OF the
guard s rupees that he would make
the commanding officer laugh when he
was taken before him.
In due course, after reading the
charge, the colonel asked the prisoner:
"Have you anything to say?
II won't say anything more about 1t,
sir, If you won't" was the unexpected
reply.
The grim face relaxed, but the stern
decision came all the same:

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. DRAW.
Former More Aggressive, but Gibbons
Balanced Il With Cisvsrnssa-

New York, Dec. 5.-After boxing ten
rounds that bistled with much clever
ness. although little or no harm was
done, a big crowd in Madison Square
Garden held u divided opinion as to tho
respective fighting ability Of Mike Glib
bons of st. Paul and Eddie McGoorty
Of Oshkosh, leading American middle
weights. Many persons thought that
McGoorty had a slight advantage be-
cause Of his persistent aggressiveness
and heavier hitting, but others were
equally positive that Gibbons because
of his fine boxing had the better Of the
ten round mill.
Weighing all Of the rounds carefully,
an unprecedented spectator OF perhaps
the referee would have called the bout
a draw rather than rob either man Of
his former prestige All things consid-
cred, 1t was an even scrap, which drew
more than $25. 200, of which the boxers
divided S12.5O0.

Every Little Olive Tablet
Has Movement All
It, Own"

Your doctor will tell you ninety per
cent of all sickness comes from in
active bowels and liver. DR.. Edwards,
a well known physician in Ohio, per-
fected a vegetable compound mixed
with olive oil, to act on the liver and
bowels, which he gave to his patients
for years.
Olive Tablets, the substitute for Gallo
mel, are gentle in their action, yet
always effective. They bring about
that exuberance of spirit, that natural
buoyancy which should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver and
clearing the system of harmful i'm
purities.

Curiolo Power Of Charcoal.
It has been found that the power of
charcoal to absorb gases is vastly in
creased at very low temperatures, SO
that it can be employed for exhaust
ing incandescent lamp bulbs ana
Crookes tubes and also for separating
mixed gases. Experiment has shown
that at the freezing po.lt Of water and
at normal atmospheric pressure one
gram Of charcoal absorbs four cubic
centimeters of hydrogen and eighteen
cubic centimeters Of oxygen, but that
at 1872 degrees centigrade, the temper
+ature Of boiling air, one gram Of char
coal absorbs 1876 cubic centimeters of
hydrogen and $50 cubic centimeters Of
oxygen. When several gases are mix
ed the charcoal absorbs some Of them
much more freely than others, SO that
by multiplying the operation gases
can be separated from mixtures in suf-
ficient quantity Tor industrial uses

took exception to the fine of $50 and
costs and sentence of 80 days in Jail
meted out to her in the city court

said Roosevelt would have the COM

ports"
THAT was the rule followed by Pi-
late nearly 1900 years ago." he added.
This is the first time in the history
of any civilized people that Pilates
rule of judicial action has the appro-
val of any man, save those who would
cruelty Jesus and they despise him
for following it.
IF Colonel Roosevelt had been
standing on one side while Plate de-
llvered Jesus to the Jews after hav-

found no harm in him but, at the de-
mand of the people, turned him over
to the Jews for crucifxion, he would
have clapped his hands and exclaim-
ed: Most righteous. most honorable,
most just judge'-at least he would
have, If he had been as progressive
as he is now. I am charitable enough
to believe, however, that he would
have been reactionary."
Jones said the people of Washington
would despise him If they thought he
would vote for Lorimer In the COM
mittee because he thought such a
course would please thenl.
IF Mr.. Roosevelt made this sug-
gestion seriously it is shocking the
Senator added. eff he made it igno-
rantly, it is pitiable, If he made it
to secure votes it is despicable.''
Jones suggested that perhaps the
reason why Roosevelt was not allowed
to serve on a jury, recently, was that
counsel had knowledge of his pro-
gressive ideas as to the duty Of the
judge and jury to decide case-not
on the law-but in accordance with
popular opinion

AN ENGINE OF TORTURE.
The PiIiery Was Not Abolished In Eng

land Until 1887.
The pillory was done away with uy
act Of parliament in the year 1887 and
1t is amazing that 1t should have en-
dured until that date. for 1t was q
mode of punishment which could be
made so extremely barbarOus as to be
a crying scandal to any nation This
engine of torture seems to have been
known before the conquest under the
name of ''stretch neck" which is pleas
antly suggestive Of it's functions.
Edward | enacted that all stretch
neckS should be made of proper size
so that the life of the occupant should
not be endangered. and print of the
reign of Henry Ill. shows very clearly
what the p.llory was like in those days
The culprit was mounted upon u stool
at one side Of which was fixed pole
supporting pair Of boards hinged to
ge.her and with holes cut In them
large enough to admit the wrists and
neck
The hands and arms were thus held
on level with the face. and the ap
palling stiffness which this must have
caused can well be imagined Thus
confined and powerless. the offender
was pa ed in some pEblic spot. where
the ri1fraff employed themselves hurl-
ing dirt. sticks and stones at him until
they were tired or until the object Of
their sport succumbed. as not tnfre-
quently came to pass
1t would seem that primarily the pill
lory was intended for cheats Of all
kinds. such HIS mountebanks. fraudu.
lent dealers In horses. coal. corn. etc..
and we read in Fabian that the mayor
of London In 1887 did sharp c0rrec-
ton upon bakers for making bread Of
light weight He caused divers Of
them to be put in the piIlory. as also
one Agnes Daintie for selling Of min
gled butter Soothsaying and other
magic arts were also punished with
the pillory
1t would appear that famous men did
not appear in the pillory until after
1887. when a star chamber decree for.
babe the printing of any book or PAM
phlet without permission from the
archbishop Of Canterbury. the bishop
of London or the university authori-
ties and also made an order that any
printer who did not conform to this
and set up printing press should not
only be pilloried. but also whipped
through the city of London.
Stafford is told by Garrard the way
In which three men underwent their
pilloryings They stood two hours In
the pillory The place was full of PEG
pie. who cried and howled terribly.
