Did the Best sh. Could.

Being found out is ever so much worse than committing the crime, most of us believe. Small Dorothy thinks so. One morning just before the school term closed she grew restless and found her lessons" a task. Outside the birds were sing ing, and all outdoors was so beauti- ful she decided she would write an "excuse" and spend the rest of the day playing. She spelled out the words in her neatest penmanship and took the paper up to teacher" !" One glance was sufficient to prove to the lady that the child's mother had not written it. Questioned, she would confess nothing and was finally sent home with a note tell ing the parents what she had done. When they tried to talk to her she Bobbed out: "Well, mamma, l don't know why you all scold me so. l tried to write it as near like you as I could."-Kansas City Journal

TURNER'S AMBITION.
The Great Painter Achieved lt by
 Years of Self Sacrifice.

Years of Self Sacrifice.
 Turner could not bear to sell Q fayorite painting. He was always melancholy after such a transaction. q lost one of my children this week." he would sadly exclaim. At meeting at Somerset House it was decided to purchase his two great pictures, the "Rise" and the "Fall of Carthage" for the National gall lery. A MT. Grifiths was commits stoned to offer $5,000 for them.
 "A noble offer," said the painter, "a noble offer-but, no, I cannot part with them. Impossible" MT. Grifiths, greatly disappointed, took his leave. Turner ran after him. 'ETell those gentlemen" he said, "that the nation will most likely have the pictures after all."
 Long before this Turner had ma tured a purpose which continued to be his dominant idea while life lasted. This was to bequeath to his country Turner gallery of pie lures and to amass 9100,000 to build and endow an asylum for decayed artists. It was for this great object that he denied himself all pleasures that cost money-all luxuries.
 His resolve, once made, could not be shaken. On one occasion he was offered f1OO,0OO for the art treas ures locked up in the "den." ''Give me the key of the house, MT. Tur- ner," said a Liverpool merchant, "and here is the money" ''No, thank you," replied Turner. '1 have refused better offer" And that was true.
 By his will he bequeathed e140.- 900 to found an asylum for poor artists born in England and a mag nifcent art collection to his coun- try. This latter bequest was, how ever, coupled with the. condition that his "Rise" and 'sFaIl of Car thage" should be hung in the Ma tional gallery between Claude's Seaport" and "Mill." London Spectator.

HAD TO READ HIS OWN POEM

Curious Sentence czar Imposed Upon
 LibeIous Writer.
 A young poet had written a most ecurrilous poem, in which he had dscribed and ibeled not only the Russian empress, but also the grand dukes and duchesses. Some one, the censor of the press. went and told the empress.
 ''The man had better be sent of to Siberia at once," he said. '1t is not case for delay"
 "Oh, no." said the empress; ~wait little, but tell the man I desire to see him at o'clock tomorrow even ing"
 When the poor man was told this he felt as if his last hour had come and that the emperor must intend himself to pronounce sentence of eternal exile. He went to the pal ace and was shown through all the grand state rooms, one after an other, without seeing any one, till at last he arrived at a small, com monplace room at the end of them all, where there was a single table with lamp upon it, and here he saw the empress, the emperor and all the grand dukes and duchesses whom he had mentioned in his poem.
 ''How do you do, sir?" said the emperor. q hear you have written most beautiful poem, and I have sent for you that you may read it aloud to Is yourself, and I have in- vited all the grand dukes and duch- esses to come that they may have the pleasure of hearing you"
 Then the poor man prostrated himself at the emperor's feet. ''Send me tO Siberia, sir" he said; "force me te become a soldier; only do not compel me to read that poem"
 "Oh, sir, you are cruel to refuse me the pleasure, but you will not be so ungallant as to refuse the em- press the pleasure of hearing your verses, and she will ask you her self"
 And the empress asked him.
 When he had finished she said:

several Mexicans. names unknown. were
reported slain: that the killings were al
legged to have grown out of depredations
by persons who took refuge In Mexico.
and that the petitioners believed more
police protection would allay the trouble.
How fifteen rangers can furnish any
real protection along a border 500 miles
long was explained In statement by
Capt Hughes. In some places one ranger
is assigned to patrol 80 to 100 miles of
border. he said These rangers, clothed
with all the police powers of both state
and county officers. are feared by the
trouble makers who know that the ranger
can arrest them even on suspicion

TEXAS RANGER FORCE
NUMBERS BUT IS MEN
Have Undertaken the Task of
Patrolling 800 Miles of
Mexican Border.

AUSTIN. Tex, March 16-The entire
force of Texas Rangers. totaling at pres
ent fifteen mounted men, has been as
signed TO duty on the 500 miles of Texas.
Mexican border, WITH the arrival of
two rangers at Raymondville, Tex. in
response to an appeal from fifty-three
persons there for protection against cat
tie thieves.
Along with news of the rangers dispo-
sition. Gov. o. B. Colquitr made public
a long list of the Texas border troubles
on which his appeals for more power to
protect the boundary have been based.
and which explain the nature Of the
rangers activities.
These incidents show the rangers as
peace officers: not as an armed power
government embarrassment Many Of
these incidents are comparatively petty
crimes, not included within the scope of
neutrality laws. and outside the police
paths of United States troops on border
patrol duty. The records indicate that
in handling them the rangers sometimes
forestall trouble before it has reached
the stage of interna tional complications.
The timely arrest of a. cattle or a
horse thief before he has had time to
escape into Mexico has warded off more
serious consequences, such as the killing
of Clenlentc Nergara. the American,
which grew out Of horse stealing. The
the lawbreakerS have come across the
international line in raids from Mexico,
some mischief makers have been residents
of American territory in sections where
the Mexican population is large, and
have used Mexico as a refuge.
