They tel! this story of-or, more
strictly speaking, on-William II. Day
before. as associate justice Of the
United States supreme court, he be-
came the man who. it might be said,
raised old Harry with the Hartman
lines. Back on the Day farm in Can
ton, Ohio. there were too many rats
for the comfort and peace of mind of
the Day household
Mr.. Day accordingly called his young
hopeful, William. who Is now fed
eral judge In northern Ohio, to him,
and offered the handsome reward Of
8 cents for every rat young William
caught, shared, poisoned, chloroformed
or otherwise removed from the prem
Uses.
Young William harvested So worth
of rodents before he discovered that
IN his excess Of zeal he had completely
rid the old farm of his most profitable
means of support, wherefore young
William proceeded to the leading ami
NAL store of Canton and returned home
with flock of pet white rats. which
he turned loose in his fathers spacious
library.

Scotland Yards New Head.

Superintendent Froest has been sue
ceeded by Chief Inspector John Nc
Carthy as executive head of the crimi-
nal Investigation department Of Scot
land Yard. He joined the force as an
ordinary constable. After five years
street duty, during which he showed
great aptitude in thief catching. he was
transferred to the detective branch.
where his promotion was rapid and
we'll merited. Nine years ago McCar-
thy was promoted to what is known as
the special branch" at Scotland Yard
and became chief inspector. This
branch, whose work Is of great i'm
portance, is little known to the general
public. 1t has to do with political
crimes and the safeguarding of royal
and political personages. Mr.. McCar.
thy accompanied the present king
when, as Prince of Wales. he visited
Canada. and he has since accompanied
his mo jcsty on oil his continental jour
neys. He was with his majesty in
Madrid Mt the wedding of King AL
fonso, when the anarchist bomb was
thrown. At one time or another Mr..
Mccarthy has had nearly every Eu-
ropean royalty under his care.-New

Cha naes In Meaning Of Words.

1t is too true that George Meredith
wrote alright" in letter. 1t is also
true that a whole nation writes al
mighty" in books. When does little
popular habit gain authority? What Is
more puzz'ing is the complete right
about face Of words In the course of
half generation or less. as in the
case OF mot half bad" That unclas.
steal phrase meant only lately that a
thing was rather good. 1t now means
that thing is completely and wholly
bad. When Matthew Arnold. the cul-

Chinese logic.

Bishop NJ. S. Lewis of Foochow, urg-
ing recognition Of the Chinese republic
at luncheon at the Union League in
Philadelphia. told a little story illus
trative of Chinese unworldliness.
"A gentleman" he said, entered a
Chinese shop to purchase tea. He
found to his amazement that five
pounds of certain tea cost $3.50,
while ten pounds of the same brand
cost $50.
'The gentleman ridjculed these illog-
ical prices, but the shOpkeerer, on the
contrary, insisted that he was acting in
perfectly logical way AS he put it:
More buy. more rich; more rich,
