TURNED THE TABLES.
An Amusing Incident of Old Time Pc.
Iitical Campaiunino.

iItlcal Campaigning.
An illustration Of early campaigning
in Illinois shows the good feeling and
the disposition to let the best man win
that often prevailed.
James G. Robinson and Richard
Oglesby, afterward governor, were op-
ponents for the Office Of state senator.
The settlements in those days were
scattering, and as the rivals were good
friends they agreed to go together and
hold joint discussions. The under
standing was that IL either desired to
talk anywhere else apart from the joint
debates he had perfect right to do so.
At one place Robinson announced
that he would make a speech In the
courthouse. A large crowd greeted
him. Oglesby was sitting In front of
the hotel across the way and became
uneasy lest Robinson should get some
votes away from him.
1t happened that Oglesby could play
the violin well. A man came along
with one under his arm, and Oglesby
asked If he might borrow 1t for the
evening The man consented, and
Oglesby commenced playing In order to
draw the crowd away from Robinsons
meeting. He succeeded. One by one
the men came out of the courthouse,
and when Oglesby swung into lively
dance measure the crowd responded
with an impromptu hoe down"
Robinson, seeing his audience dwin-
ding, stopped speaking and came out
himself. Taking in the situation at II
glance, he pulled Off his shoes and be-
came the Most enthusiastic participant
dancing first with one and then with
another of his late hearers. The crowd
was delighted, and Robinson had the
satisfaction of completely turning the
tables on his adroit opponent.-Shelby

rb.v shoot. bu. Newer Steal.


Montenegrins pride themselves on
the possession Of two great virtues
patriotism and honesty. Their love of
.ountry has been demonstrated In their
history, and their honesty Is witnessed
10 by their laws. One remarkable law
Of the Black Mountain Kingdom di-
reefs that any man finding purse or
lewelry upon the road shall place the
Iame upon the nearest stone, SO that
the loser will have only to retrace his
steps to recover bis property. That
law is never violated. A Montenegro
thinks nothing Of shooting a man with
whom he disagrees, but would shrink
10 horror from the idea of stealing the
veriest triHe. Montenegro law Is more
severe upon the thief than the homi-
eide.

In the salt district In Cheshire, Eng
land, the brine has been pumped so
continuously out Of the earth that the
land has settled very considerably.
The houses naturally sink with the
earth. and in some Of the streets in
Northwich only the roofs are visible.
The houses are inhabited, although the
rooms are underground. In great
many cases additional stories have
been added. so that by living in the
upper rooms the residents may have
some light and air. The roadways sink,
too, but are kept up to the proper level

Power of th. spsesroseops.

The almost uncanny power Of the
spectroscope, which has made 1t such
a powerful instrument of research. Is
the following: If any element such as
iron, copper, sodium and the like is heat
ed sufficiently to be vaporized and the
light Of this heated vapor is analysed
by the spectroscope, 1t does not give a
continuous spectrum, but only very
narrow portions Of the colors. so that
in reality the view presented is that of
a series Of bright lines of the various
colors. Each chemical element has its
own characteristic set of lines.-Cen-

lust PUTTING Him Wise,

A tall. thin man stood on the deck
of a battleship and watched the tar
get practice just outside of the mouth
of Chesapeake Bay one morning last
April. Near the tall man, who was
dressed in civilian clothes, stood a
young ensign in natty uniform. his
chest stuck into the foreground like
that of a pouter pigeon. Ensigns, as
a rule, feel indescribable contempt for
civilians, civilian clothes and civilian
brains
There was the heavy boom OF dis
charge from one of the other battle
ships and a SHE'LL going wide OF the
target. kicked up cloud of foam far
out to sea.
That SHE'LL" remarked the civilian,
fell far to the left"
THE hell it did" cOntradicted the
ensign, and continued to gaze toward
the horizon.
The TALL thin man regarded his
companion in silent amusement for a
few moments, and then remarked:
II suppose I'd better introduce my
self I'm the secretary of the navy"
Whereupon the ensign, remember
ed the naval regulations against pro-
family, and lost his appetite for three
days-POpular Magazine.

TO KILL ROADSIDE INSECTS
Right Time to Do Work Is Late in
Fall When Cold Weather Has
Set in and Vegetation Dry.
Ry GEORGE II. GLITzKE.)

By GEORGE II. GLITZKE.)
A great many people have the mis-
taken idea that the time to burn the
roadside in order to kill the many in
sects that winter in these places. is
in the early spring of the year.
If you will watch closely at such
place where the roadside has been
burned in the spring you will see the
insects coming out of the ground very
thickly on the warm days.
This proves that the insects were
not killed. Most of them are in the
ground and the heat of the fire pass
ing over them does not harm them
and the trash burned from above them
makes it all the easier for the Insects
to come forth
While no doubt a few of them are
killed the majority of them are unin-
jured.
The right time to burn these road
sides to do effective work is in the
late fall of the year, after the cold
weather has already set in and all the
tender vegetation is dry.
Then, if the roadsides are burned,
the insects in such places will be kill
ed by heavy freezing, as they usually
do not go very deeply into the ground
but seem to depend on the covering
of trash to protect them from the cold.
This is a great bit more effective
in the killing of the insects than the
spring burning.
Not only does the fall burning of
the roadsides do good by the killing
of the insects that winter there, but it
also helps to keep the road in better
shape by allowing less snow to collect
in the drifts as it usually does in
places where there is much grass and
weeds.

New Metal for Armor-Plate,

A series of tests have recently ta-
ken place with a metal which, it has
been discovered, possesses qualities of
great resistance against the penetra-
ton of super-caliber projectiles, and,
says the London Standard, it's first
practical use has been offered to the
British admiralty. If the result of
the experiments that have been made
prove satisfactory, and the admiralty
decide to employ the metal on the
armor plating of their warships, it
will mean that the thickness of the
armor will be raduced, with con-
sequent lessened displacement in the
vessels The metal is known as
molybdenum, and it is used to alloy
with nickel in steel Experiments have
been carried out on government firing
grounds under official supervision, and
it is stated that the process has prov
ed to be superior by Is or 20 per cent.
to the recognized armOr plate stand
ard. The metal is found in small guam
titles in Canada, South Africa, Nor
way, and Sweden, and the pure speci-
mems are worth about $1.75 pound,
1t has wonderful hardening qualities
when treated with nickel, and the re-
suits of the trial to which it is being
subjected is awaited with considerable
interest by the engineering world.

a horse owned by George Miller, a
farmer here, was choked to death by
a swallow. The bird, in blind flight,

vaulted a fence, and was dead when
reached by William Owens, a farm
hand. who witnessed the incident. The
bird, also dead was found wedged in
