A spasm indeinable crossed Over

the money, to security, repayment.
Absolute trust was indicated.

The judge placed a heavy, thick
book on a little stand before his

pages indifferently at first. AS the
Judge had said, the book contained
the photographs, the criminal record
and the life history of those who
from time to time had come before

Overton turned over the pages
casually. Some Of the cases were
noted ones and he recalled their
newspaper publicity in the past.

He allowed it to lie unheeded at his

and he acted as though impelled by
some automatic force. He drew the

Ichthyol.

The importation of fchthyol, pc
culiar asphaltic material found in Aus
tria, which finds application after ap
propriate chemical treatment as very
important medicament, has been, along
with manK other products, cut off by
the war. The raw material comes from
a fossiliferous deposit near Seefeld, ir
the Austrian Tyrol. 1t is carefully So
lected and subjected to dry distillation.
The distillate thus obtained is then
sulphonated and subsequently neutral
lied with ammonia. The use of this
material has greatly increased in the
last few years, and it has proved very
beneficial. Almost Immediately follow
ing the beginning of the war it's price
doubled, going to over 60 cents an
ounce. Already, however, firm in st.

COSTLY MILE OF WIRE
ERECTED DURING SIEGE OF PORT
ARTHUR, IN 1905.
Estimated That Ten Thousand Lives
Were Lost and Millions of Dollars
Expended in "Condemning" the
Right of Way.

There are many individual miles
Of city-built telephone line that have
cost we'll up in the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars" remarked an Off
Ger of the United States army who
saw much of the war between Russia
and Japan few years ago, "but the
mile Of telephone wire that cost, be-
yond all comparison, more money and
lives than any other line ever but /
was erected during the siege Of Port
Arthur in 1905.
"For weeks and months the Japs
had been eating away at the defenses
of the Russian fortress, but with small
and harbor seemed to have been fash
1oned by nature for defense The
Japs, though they had brought up
their great IL and 14-inch siege guns,
were able to make but slight impress
sion upon the forts and none at all
upon the town or the Russian fleet
that lay safe within the inner harbor.
The trouble was that, though the
great guns-'Osaka babies they called
them, after the name of the town
where they were manufactured
could easily carry from their positions
into Port Arthur and the harbor, there
was intervening a great range Of hills
from five to six hundred feet in height
and crowned with the most powerful
Notifications in the world to that
date. Hence, the gunners could not
get sight Of their targets.
Suddenly the Osaka babies COM
menced to open fire upon the town
and harbor, and the Russians smiled,
for experience had shown them how
impossible it was for the shells to
strike their unseen targets. But, to
their astonishment, after a shell or
two, one lit squarely upon the main
building in Port Arthur and shortly
after one plunged through the deck
of battleship and sank her like a
stone.
"In a short time the town was
wrecked and the fleet, with half it's
ships sunk or disabled, had to put out
to sea.

hand of the Jap hidden on the sum-
init of 203 Meter hill there ran wire
to the batteries where stood the great
Osaka babies,' and the whole thing
became as simple as a kindergarten
problem. The man with the telescope
observed where the shells from the
babies struck; he reported it to the
man with the telephone, who, in turn,
telephoned it to the gunners Of the
babies They modified their fire un-
der these directions and placed their
great shells as accurately as though
they were firing point-blank at a tar
get.
ut was the beginning of the end of
Port Arthur. that mile of telephone
line running up the flank of 203 Meter
Hill. 1t was but a single wire mount
ed on poles so small that they were
invisible quarter of mile distant,
but it cost 10000 men and several mil
lions of dollars in ammunition and
other war-cost to condemn the right

Moses Mendelssohn, who was the
victim of much abuse, but whose
sharp wit always turned the tables
on his prosecutors, was once sitting
in an inn where a number of cava
1ers were feasting. They observed
the philosopher, and in order to an
noy him sent him a plate Of apple
parings which remained from their re-
past.
The philosopher accepted the gift
gravely and seemed plunged in
thought. Then the cavaliers sudden.
ly noticed that there were tears in
his eyes.
why are you crying?" asked one
of them.
Il am thinking of something my
dead mother once said to me-" replied
Moses. when I was a child I had a
very sweet tooth, and mother tried
70 discourage me. Once when she
caught me stealing some sweets he
said: my son, if you keep on this
way you shall have to be content
some day with the leavings of pigs
But why are you crying?" reiter'
ated the cavalier.

Clearwater has probably the

on money made by himself, of any

has saved from his own earnings a
sufficient sum to pay for a house and

who has paid the first months rent

Most of the money was made from
