Paper Telegraph Poles
Serviceable telegraph poles can, It
is found, be constructed of paper.
Such poles are made of paper pulp, In
which borax, tallow, etc, are mixed
in small quantities The pulp is cast
in a mold with a core in the center,
and forms 3 hollow rod of the desired
length. The paper poles are sald to
be lighter and stronger than those of
wood, and to be ynaffected Ly the sun,
rain, dampness, or any of the other
causes which shorten the life of a

Wise Judge,
In order to test a Chinese witness’
qualification for taking the oath, an
English magistrate asked bim, the
other day, where he expected to go
when he dled. He replied: “Peking™
and was disqualified. Once in another
English court, a little girl, in answer
to that question, =ald “1 don't
know.” The horrified counsel called
the judge's attention to the answer
“Oh, | don’t know, either” sald the
Judge; “swear the witness”
Sexes Being Equalized.
Sidney Smith, In writing upon the
subject many years ago, declared that
nature had been just as bountiful to
|one sex as to the other—that educa
tion makes the only difference. This
view 1s becoming widely accepted In
our day. “Let man either provide for
vide for herself” wrote Mrs. Jameson

Utopia.
There Is a farm in Maine where the
farmer never allows wild creatures lo
be molested. Consequently they have
come to know that they are safe

favorite Imunts. Nearly every after
noon the deer come out and feed in a
fleld near the house, and the farm peo
ple can go very ner without frighten:

Watches Instead of Medals.
According to a Neuchatel correspond
ent. the watch factories in that town
are extraordinarily busy, owing to a
huge order for “War Watches” which
has been received from the Japanese
goverument The watches are thin
and of good finish, with oxidized metal
cases, and are intended for presenta-
tion to the mikado's soldiers and sail-
ors. as mementos of thelr successes in
the war with Russia
Snall's Slow Progress.
A snail's rate of travel was ascer-
tained by experiments In Florence
Half a dozen soalls were permitted to
crawl between two points ten feet
apart. Exact time was kept from the
start to the finish, and thus the aver
age pace was learned. The figures
were then put Into tables of feet,
yards and furlongs, and It was found
that it would take a snail exactly 14
days to travel a mile.
He Got a Pig.
A man’s corpse was delivered to Wil-
lam Archer, of Cromwell, Ind, who
prize pig whi®h he had purchased
Archer refused to accept the coffin,
and inquiry developed that the labels
on the pig's box and the coffin had
become exchanged. Archer got his pig
on the next tratu, and it is presumed
that the corpse was delivered at the
proper place.
Still Room for Improvement
In a small village in the south of
Scotland an elder in the parish church
was one day reproving an old woman,
who was rather the worse for liquor,
by saying: “Sarab don't you know
that you shouid fly from the tempter?”
Sarah (not too well pleased) —"Flee
yersel'!" Elder—"0, Sarah! 1 have
flown” Sarah—"Awell, | think yell
be none the waur o' anither flutter!”
Beavers Bometimes in Burrows.
Oontrary to the gegeral opinion the
beaver does not always bulld a house
for himself, being content very often
with a burrow in the bank of the
stream. Asis the case with the house
the entrance to a burrow is under
water, though sometimes there is an
opening from the surface through
which brush and sicks are carried for
their food supply.
Treatment of New Floor.
A new floor when waxed must be
left over night before polishing, but
an old floor may be polished as soon
as the wax has been applied all over
it. A woolen rag may be used for
this purpose, but the best thing is a
weighted brush with a long handle
This should be used first across the
grain of the wood, then parallel
with It

LL
the
land Leader
If there was a covert irony In the
Warden's words it was not premedi
tated, and neither he nor his parting
guest perceived it. The conditions in
which they stood were not favorable
for the perception of fine shades. And
the handclasp was hearty. It ex-
pressed the Warden's sense of loss
For eight years he had known and
liked this man, and now he was going
AWAY.
Ideals, in the common definition,
the Warden had not, but in the eth}
cal code of prison keepers he knew
“what was right” and this man had
approximated very near to it. His re
signed and tractable spirit in confine
ment had bespoken the position he
once had held
Hefore their hands parted the War
den had considered this, and more
He recalled the noise of exposure, the
falsification of the books, flight ar
rest—then the plea of guilty, and the
sentence—since reduced by good be
havior. He remembered, too, (hat
there had been political elements in
the case and much talk about scape
goats suffering for other men's sins
But that was all so long ago and these
other men, sinners and saints, were
dead and gone to rewards or reckon-
ings
The Nttle wicket in the monstrous
studded doors of the prison closed
silently and the man stood in the
world again. It was early morning In
summer, and the sun was salling lst
lessly over from the east, with only a
promise of the opulent splendor of his
midday wakening.
Originally the peniténtiary had
been on the outskirts of the town, but
now it was environed by rows of
small dweliing-houses and cheap
siores. Once it had worn a fittingly
penal air of sequestration: now the
sombre dignity of its great Eray walls
was flouted by the tawdry brick of
these interloping neighbors. Yet it
loomed so far above them that its
granite spaces seemed informed with
a sardonic ridicule which relieved the
incongruity.
There came to the free man a
Vague recognition that during the si-
lent expanse of time which had wid
ened—widened—ou the other side of
these walls the world here, only a
step from them. had been ceaselessly
whirling away, with all its wonted
clamors and contentions, heedless as
ever of the Individual atom. It was a
shock to realize that only within
there, In that still and separate world.
had there been no change.
Presently he found himself walking
He did not realize this until the pre
emptory clang of a gong sounded In
his cars and he started back in sud-
den panic. When the car had whizzed
by he was visibly quaking. but in a
moment he was going on again.
Although without purpose In his
route, this overpowering fear of the
electric cars delayed his progress so
that the morning was well advanced
when he stood at a comer in the
heart of the business section and
watched the crowds press past him.
He shrank in the half shelter of a
post, with the surreptitious air of one
who Las no right to be seen. Indeed
he vaguely felt himself allen and Ir
relevant, and his forefinger went fal
teriugly to his lip with a motion be
come habitual
Of all these legions rushing by him
none so much as glanced in his direc
tion, and he wondered why they did
not seem to know that he was a lately
released felon. He might have found
the reason when he fell to studying
their faces. The habit of observation
had once been keen in him, as It is In
many men who oonstantly handle
large sums of money, and even now
it is not quite gone.
He saw that only the children wore
wbsolutely placid countenances. All
cthers carried a look of preoccupation,
often exhibiting writhing lips and
flashing eyes or muttering their
thoughts in balf-audible sentences.
Once a woman, quite alone, passed
near him, and be beard her exclaim
to herself, “Oh, my! oh, my!” It
might have meant only a forgotten
pocketbook or a tight shoe, but the
tone had a tragic ring. Again, a man
talking vigorously to himself swept
by, frowning.
None looked toward him; all were
Ignorant of his existence, and a great
loneliness rose within him.
Suddenly an impulse to° escape
seized him. He felt bound, stified—
as though—as though he were In
prison. He turned and fled—first with
a rapid stride Into a side street, after:
ward breaking Into a run when he was
away from the crowds
The impulse became uncontrollable
On, on, he sped, throwing startled
looks over his shoulder. Once he fan-
cied that a crowd was rushing after
him with a great hue and cry, but no
one founowed. At last, panting and
breathless, he drew up In front of his
goal. Ip a subconscious way he had
all the time known whither he was
making his mad flight to escape cap
ture.
For a moment he leaned weak
against the ttle door. Then, with
another look over his shoulder, he
brought all his strength together and
pounded flercely upon It
The Warden himself appeared and
heard the gasp:
“}'ve come back—home!”
But the Warden shook
sadly and sald:
“1 have no power to take you ls.
There {8 no place for you here now.”
And he closed the door.—S8t Louls

HELD FOR CRAND JURY
Waverly—The argument on the
motion for the discharge of Walter
Bishop who is charged with violat-
ing the liquor tax law, was heard
by Judge Hoagland this morning,
District Attorney Wallace appears
ed for the state and Attorneys Als
len of Waverly and Heller of
Elmira, argued for the defense.
Bishop was arrested about a month
ago for keeping a disorderly house,
and plead guilty to the charge.
The present prosecution was then
started against him under the
liquor license law on the same set
of facts. The defense claimed that
he had already been convicted on
that charge, and therefore this sec-
ond case was unconstitutional. He
was held for the grand jury under
a bond of $1,000, after waiving ex~
amination.
NEARLY ELECTROCUTED
Waverly—Archie Hess barely
escaped electrocution last Saturday
afternoon. He was doing some
wiring on Broad street and was
seated on the cross piece on a pole
in front of Baldwin's lumber yard,
His hand came in contact with a
charged wire and the current was
so Heavy that he was not able to
remove it. He swung his feet
loose from the pole and when he
regained consciousness he was
lying on the ground. His back
was injured from the fall, and the
hand that had been in contact with
the wire was badly“burned. He
managed to ride to L.. C. Miller's
store on his motor cycle and Dr,
Carpentér was called and attended
his injuries, after which he was
taken home.
SMALL YOTE BEING CAST
Waverly—The tax payers as a

which is being held today to
determine whether the village shall
issue bonds for the purpose of pav-

ests every resident of Waverly, and
it was expected that there would be
much interest taken ia the election,
but up to noon there had been

He had been sent on an errand to

In order to complete his errand it
was necessary for him to cross the
