Best History of The United States.

The following is the best history
ever written of the United States of
one hundred words: ''The revival Of
learning, commercial revival and re-
ligious zeal in Europe led to Colum-
bus's discovery in 1892. Conflicting
territorial claims and parental ami
mostly involved English, French, and
Spanish colonists in wars, culminat-
ing in English supremacy in 1853.
England's oppression alienated colon
ial affection, induced revolution, has
tened independence. Common cause
and danger begat colonial union, the
weakness of the confederation de-
manded a federal republic. Party
difference tempted legislation, negro
slavery precipitated civil strife, Sc
cession, emancipation. Federal au-
thority supreme, reconstruction sue
ceeded. Religious freedom and un-
muzzled press, invention, and uni
versal education have conspired tc
prosperity at home and honor
abroad. ."-Exchange

A Story Of Daniel O'Connell.

The most interesting Of the stories,
however, is that of the famous hat
incident, which has been told so Of
ten. A prisoner, whose name was
James, was being tried, and the wit
nesses for the Crown had sworn to
the finding of his hat in an incrimi-
mating way. 'You are quite sure, "
said OConnell, when he rose to cross
examine, about this hat?" II am, %
replied the witness. LET me look
at it," said O'Connell, and taking it
he looked inside, and slowly spelt
out the word "James." "Do you
mean to tell the court that this name
was in that hat when you found it,"
'I do, on my OATH "You saw the
name them" asked O'Connell. II
did-surely." "This is the same hat,
and there is no mistake about it?'
"Och," returned the witness, grow
ing impatient, "no mistake at all,
it's the hat" "And all you have
sworn to is as true as that state
ment?' "Quite." my lord" said
O'Connell, turning to the Judge, "you
can dismiss the case, there is no
name in the hat. ."-Christian Science

AN ESSAY ON PANTS.
Some Interesting Thoughts About
Those Worn by Man.

Pants are Of two kinds; human
and dog, says Farm Life.
The human pants of commerce are
worn mainly by males.
But equal rights prevail among
dogs
Human pants are worn thicker in
winter and thinner in summer.
A dogs pants come thicker in the
summer.
The dogs lungs are the seat of his
pants. (Date 1875, Hostetter's AL
manac.)
White pants are not garment.
They are a business to themselves.
The man who wears them doesn't
work at much else at the time.
When l was small and on a farm
wore pants that were not new.
So far as 1 could find out, they
never had been new.
When they had been first worn out,
by the first tallest ancestor | had,
they had been patched at all the ven
tilated places.
When the original goods wore out
between the patches, the first patches
were connected by other patches.
And sew on.
Where they overlapped-the
patches goods became about an
inch thick.
And then human legs made of any
material less durable than vulcanized
flint are incased in a set of inch-and-
a-quarter Deer Island jeans trousers
patched with every kind of heavy
goods from horse blankets to rem
nants of rag carpet-when, say, any
human neither limbs are incarcerated
in these bendless tabular garments in
a wheat field on a southwest hillside
at 2 o'clock on a clear, still day when
the temperature is 10 in the shade
and there is no shade, the owner of
said legs thinks longingly of the bas-
tile, the stocks, the pincers, the gull
lotine, the pillory, the thumbscreW,
the rack, the stake and other re-
ligious pleasantries.
have gone long days in the wheat
field in pair of such asbestos pants
lined with sandpaper and barbed
wire, and now death or public speak
ing or fashionab dinners of
those things has any terror for me.
I playfully inquire of death as to
the location of it's stinger.

murder Of Joe Moore, his wife. his four
children and the two Stillinger girls,
guests of the Moore family, who were
murdered ic their beds at the Moore
home on the night Of June 8, 1912.
All Of the victims were literally
chopped to pieces as they slept. There
was no trace of the criminal at the
time. and it appeared that the murders;
were to-be among the unsolved Grim
inal mysteries of Iowa.
Detective Wilkerson. was assigned to
the case by the William y. Burns de-
tective agency Of Kansas City. being
hired by the Moore family and it's
friends.
Rumors aobut vilIisca had connect
ed Senator Jones with the murder.
Wilkerson worked upon these rumors,
and finally declared in public that SEN
ator Jones had been Implicated in a
plot which ended in the ak murders.
Once Refused TO lndict
Wilkerson attempted to obtain the
indictment of Senator Jones before the
villisca grand jury last spring. He
also attempted to secure the indict-
ment of Blackie Mansfield, arrested on
suspicion of having been the actual
murderer. The jury returned no bills.
Shortly afterward Senator Jones
filed his suit against Wilkerson asking
for $4,000 for the statements Wilker-
son had made charging him with
guilty knowledge of the crime.
The suit at first included also four
teen residents of Villisca, but the other
actions were dropped by Senator Jones,
When the trial Of the suit began at
Red Oak nearly four weeks ago. Wilk-
ersop frankly admitted that he had
made the statements objected to, and
declared that he was justified in saying
what he did. The trial, therefore, be-
came more of the nature of a murder
trial than of mere action to recover
damages. 81,
Senator Jones hoped, by obtaining a
verdict against Wilkerson, to clear his
name Of the shadow Of suspicion which
had been cast upon him.
