New Albany, I'a. 7 f]: A Cow For a Life. The Ober Gabelliorn is a peak v torious for the dangerous cornices which decorate its upper ridges. Of many accidents reported in connection with it perhaps the most remarkable, says (J. D. Abraham In "Swiss Moun tain Climbs," was the adventure which befell an amateur and his young guide. In passing along the dangerous final cornice it suddenly gave way under the amateur, and he went flying through space to apparent destruction. The guide at the other end of the rope seemed in hopeless plight, but with astounding presence of mind he flung himself down the opposite side of the rklge, thus saving two lives. The rope cut deep into the snow above, bnt held Arm. The young guide's name was Ulrich Aimer, llis reward was a cow. A Horticultural Puzzle. "It's no use," sighs the nature wiz ard. "I may as well give up." "What is bothering you?" we ask sympathetically. "I got started a few years ago on a whim of mine. I took a head of cab bage nnd crossed it with a white pota to and grew eyes on it; then I crossed that with a cornstalk and grew ears oi it; then I crossed that with a squash and grow a neck on it; then I crossed that with a cocoanut and grew hair on it, but hanged if I can figure out what to do for a nose and mouth!"—St Louis Republic. He Worried the Judge. A story was recently told of the older Judge I'eckham, father of the supreme court justice, in the early days of dentistry a hickory plug \V«s put into tlie cavity to fill the space where a tooth ought to be. This plug bad to be gently pounded Into its desired po sition. The old judge was somewhat addicted to strong language, and when the dentist began his wor ktlie Judge indulged in some classic comment. As the tapping of the plug continued he threw all dignity to the four winds of heaven, and his language became de cidedly "more forcible than elegant." When, however, be arose from the chair after what seemed to him an interminable period of agony he pulled out all the stops in his vocabulary for a grand clitnax. The Impression on his listener seems to have been deep nnd lasting. As the judge passed out the dentist grimly remarked to a wait ing patient: "Wasn't it beautiful? It wasn't real ly necessary to pound half so long, but I did so enjoy bis inflection that 1 almost pounded the hickory plug into splinters. Wonderful command of language the jndge has!"— Case and Comment. C.-osced by the Corpse. Most of Walthamstow is too modern to have much mystery about it, but the Walthamstow strip" of Leyton preserves the memory of a curious old rule. Barely a hundred yards broad, this strip of land, belonging to Wal thamstow parish, ran right across Ley ton from the lea to Snaresbrook, par allel with tbe southern border of Wal thamstow. llow came Leyton to be crossed by this alien strip? Leyton it was said, had once refused to bury a body found in the lea; Walthamstow came for ard to do It. And In such cases ' ,~s the rule that the volun teering parish might take from the other as much land right through to the other side as the men who carried the corpse could cover walking in line hand lu hand arms extended. The inconvenient result worried both par ishes until the growth of population made new parishes necessary.—London Chronicle. Not Jealous. Mrs. Jawback John.

Then everything is lost! History teems with stories of men and women who but for despair might have won. Literature is loaded with instances of individuals who by holding out a little longer might have "lived happily ever after." Sir Tannhauser, the legendnry hero of Germany, escaping from the thral dom of sensual passion, sought abso lution at Koine from the pope, who said, "You can no moro hope for par don than this dry wand can bud and bear leaves." Tannhauser, giving up to despair, went his way, and, behold, the pope's staff miraculously sprouted! Messen gers were sent to find Tannhawser, but he was gone. Instead of hoping he had abandoned himself to the awful blackness of sorrow and had disap peared. Woman, Tannhauser would have been absolved, he would have been restored to happiness and to love, if he bad stood out against despair. Consider the case of the Babylonian lovers Pyramus and Thisbe. To the tryst at Ninus' tomb came Thisbe. Driven away by a lion, she fled to a place of siifety. Pyratnus, arriving at the tomb and believing his beloved Thisbe was dead, gave himself up to despair and killed himself. Thisbe, re turning, found her lover cold in death and took her own life. Had Pyratnus embraced hope in stead of despair the story would have had a most delightful ending, or might not have been written at all. In Matthew Arnold's poem, "Tris tram and Iseult," Tristram, lying wounded, awaits the coming of Isolde. If the white tlag were hoisted it was she thnt approached. When told the Ball was black Tristram gave up and. courting death, died before Isolde, un der the white sail, arrived. Just a little more hope, just a little more faith, and all would have been well. How many defeats have been turned Into victories by some brave heart that refused to be conquered! How many armies have gone down to defeat be • anse they acked a leader possessing (he characteristic that makes a- man fight on and on against great odds, de fying defeat, knowing no conqueror, icknowledglng no subjugator! And you, woman, no matter what your fight is, no matter what the load you are carrying, do not enter the slough of despond, do not despafr. Some time there will come relief, some THE 9TOOT IIEAIiT WIES. time the sun will shine, some time right must conquer might. Despair dulls the mind, stops the Dow of pul-lug blood in your veins, makes an invalid of you. Hope feeds (he spirits and quickens the body. Iu the garden of hope grow flowers for every hand. Hope is an enchanter, a tonic, a panacea for all Ills. All about me in the city I see men who have given up the battle in the turmoil of trade. 1 see men broken and dispirited, men who have aban doned hope and embraced despair. Henceforth for them there will be no sun shining through their cypress trees. All ahead is blackness and ob livion. They are the wreckage that floats up from the great sea of endeavor, the de bris of commercialism. Upon the shore of failure there lie thousands of these wrecked hopes that now are symbols of despair, but upon that long shore line cannot be fouml one man with hopo in his henrt Hope is an old friend. It comes to us at cradle time and will be constant and true, even beyond the grave. If we will but make a confidant and a com panion of It. Despair Is a stranger that comes to us later in life to give tears to our eyes and aching pains to our hearts. Despair usurps the place of happi ness and, rude beyond measure, drives from the citadel of our being all those things that make life glad and happy and worth living. And when all the dear things of our being have been beaten orit of us by this monster it gives nothing in return but sorrow and bitterness and woe. Be on your guard, madam. When despair leaves its visiting card at your front door take warning lest It come again and again and ruin your life.

PLOTTED A LYNCHMG Four Ranchmen Hanged Her Sweet heart, and It Is Said the Girl, Be lieving She Would Get $7,000 Insur ance, Planned It. Valentine, Neb. —Eunice Murphy, of this place, the girl accused of having incited a mob to hang lier fiance in order that she might inherit liis life insurance, has been held lor the dis trict court. The presiding judge de clared that Miss Murphy Is just as guilty as the men who took her sweet heart to a tree and hanged him. Silent to all but her attorneys, de spondent, but dry-eyed, Mirs Kunice Murphy is composedly waiting in her jail cell the day when she shall be called to trial as accessory to the atrocious murder of Charles Sellers, her suitor. To all appearances an unsophisticat ed country girl, the young woman is intelligent enough to keep quiet about her affairs. She is charged with incit ing her fiance, George Weed, his brother Alma, her cousin and former fiance, .tarry Heath; and her brother Kenneth Murph.v, to their cruel at tack upon a man who had for three years sought her hand in marriage Avarice is alleged as the motive. Thus are all the elements of a melo drama present in her case. Taiking advantage of them, she might, with . newspaper interview, clothe h< rseli with all that morbid glamor so dear ti. a sensation-loving public. Yet she prefers to keep her own counsel, re fusing to make flie simplest state mcnts about the affairs and referring all questioners to her lawyers. The hanging of Sellers. June IS. by some of his neighboring rant hinoii in I |» |Ill\ ; \ c W K (X Ri A A [_ The Hanging of Sellers. near Cody, Neb., created a sensation for a time, but when four men charg ed with the crime were putin jail and bound over to the district court, the excitement subsided. Now it is charged by John M. Tucker, county attorney, that Miss Murphy incited and procured the murder of Sellers, her alleged motive being to get pos session of $7,000 of insurance policies and considerable personal property which she is said to have believed would be bequeathed to her upon the death of Sellers. At the time of the killing of Sellers, it was rumored that one man in the party that hanged him to a telegraph pole was inspired by jealousy, he be ing a suitor of the girl. Hutch Jack and Sellers, who lived together, were awakened one night by a knock on the door by George B. Weed. Jack knew Weed and invited him into the house. Weed had said he was making a social call. Weed asked Sellers, who was in bed in an adjoining room, to get up and come into the room where Jack and Weed were, but Sellers excused himself bv saying lie was not feeling well. Fif teen minutes later, Jack says, a party of men, composed of Kenneth Murphy, Harry Heath and Alma Weed, came to the Jack home. They were armed and they covered Jack and command ed him to remain in the room where he was. George Weed told Sellers to get up. "We are after you," he said, ac cording to the affidavit of the county attorney. Sellers arose and Harry Heath is alleged to have thrown a rope around liis neck and pulled it tight, and George Weed. Heath, Mar i phy and Alma Weed are charged with | having dragged Sellers out of the . house to a nearby telephone pole and j banged him. Horses in Nail-Studded Car.

DODGE PURE FOOD LAW. Ingenious Canvasser Got Merchant's Wife to Take S3O In Cheap Stuff In Order to Get a "Fall to Pioce6" Rock ing Chair. ■ While the straight out and out mail order houses are receiving the atten tion of merchants throughout the land, there are dozens of concerns, also mail order houses, whose operations collec tively are perhaps more harmful to the people and the merchants than are the sell direct catalogue houses. These eon ; cents are the premium givers which em ploy canvassers to organize clubs for teas and coffees, spices, extracts and dozens of other articles, paying either la cash commission or giving some pre mium, such as sets of dishes, house i hold furniture, jewelry and the like, i There is scarcely a city in the land of any size but has one or more of I these establishments, each doing con siderable business. Some of these houses pay hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for advertising space iu the women's papers. The annual vol ume of business of some of these con cerns exceed that of Chicago's biggest catalogue house. Others do business exceeding a million dollars annually. The catalogues published only go into (he hands of agents along with sam ples to be used in canvassing. There is not a city or hamlet where these concerns do not transact business. They generally work on the premium plan—a premium to the purchaser of their goods and a premium to the can vasser. The goods handled are of an inferior class. They escape the inves tigation of the pure food otliciais be cause shipments are made direct to the consumer or to the agent who does the distributing, and no inspector has the audacity to take goods for analysis that go in this manner to a consumer. Various plans have been devised to head off the operations of these con cerns. So far no adequate plan has been discovered that will stand the tests of the higher courts. Strange to say, frequently wives of merchants are found among the patrons of these concerns. Not long ago the wife of u storekeeper purchased through one club more than S3O worth of stuff, a better quality of which her husband carried in stock, just to get a cheap rocking chair, and then gave to her neighbors a lot of soaps, extracts and other goods she received in order to keep it out of her husband's sight.

Of all ironclad rules in business only one is tit to tie up to.and that Is to have no such rules. Fifteen years ago a man wishing to order a suit of clothes entered a cer tain tailoring establishment and be came interested in what today we call a plnhead check. "I admire that," he said, "but I nev er wore anything like it before and want my wife to see it. Oilt me a sam ple—just an inch square will do." "I'm sorry, but it is against the rules of the house to cut samples," said the ; salesman. "What—not even an inch square?" The man walked into another tailor shop on the same block, and for fifteen years he has been getting his clothes there— forty-five suits in all. How many samples would Tailor No. 1 have given to get an order on forty live suits of clothes? As it is he'll never get the chance to hand over samples. If ho were the last tailor in Christendom probably this customer would prefer the latest styles in tig leaves and shoestrings to the original pinhead check. In business the only rules that count are made by the customer.—Philadel phia North American. Jail For Mail Crdcr Man. Imprisonment, in the federal prison at Leavenworth.

Pneumonia is not dreaded mer ly for its power to seize and k quickly, hut also for its apparei power to select the most unlike victims. Most persons have live through the shock of hearing tin some friend had suddenly died t pneumonia—a friend from whoi they had parted hut a few days c even hours before, leaving him i what seemed the highest notch c physical well being and perhap protesting that he did not what illness meant. T1 lis disease is most dangerous t the apparently strong, robust peo pie of heavy weight and hearty ap petite, although it may attack an' one, for its germs are omnipresent The strong and full blooded indi vicinal who is at the same tinu something overweight is cspeciall> in danger of pneumonia and should take particular care to avoid it. II hi? diet is too heavy—and that may safely be assumed—it should bo ruthlessly cut down, especially as to meat and tiie elimination of alcohol. The weighing scale is a good friend to such a person and should bo consulted regularly. The scale does not argue about that extra pound or two—it proves it—and aft er a weight in accordance with ago and height has been determined it can he maintained in most cases by the exercise of a little self control. There are hosts of people who in dolently permit themselves to get heavy and even fat in the winter months. They are the people who should be constantly reminded, "The pneumonia germ 'll git yer if ver don't watch out!" The condition of the man must be recognized as more important than the presence of the germ, as proved by the fact that there is less mortality among the thin and ap parently delicate than among the stout and full blooded. Some of the phrases used by the laity on this subject have, after all, more sense thaii nonsense in them. Tt is said that some one is "threat ened with pneumonia" or that a "bad cold ran into pneumonia," and in a sense it is true, for every one is "threatened" with pneumonia; fhat is to say, the germ is always present and ready and willing to begin its work if one only gives it a chance. The most successful way to give rt ft ( nil nee is to neglect a bad coh and thus break down the natura defonses of the system. If ever bad cold were met with starvation physic and fresh air it would de part in disgust, and the lurking pneumonia with it, for the large burglar cannot get in through a hole which has refused to admit the smaller one.—Youth's Companion. Wicker Baskets. One of the largest imports from Russia into America is willow elothesbaskets. The huge hampers so commonly in use are nearly all made in central Russia by peas ants, although some come from the Danube valley, and there is consid erable domestic manufacture. The importations last year exceeded a million dollars' worth. Osier wil low, from which they are made, has been worked by Russian peasants for centuries and was formerly the material from which they wove their houses. The method of cut ting, peeling, twisting and manipu lating the withes is handed down from father to son.—Chicago Reo ord-Iterald. As She Would Have Been. A gentleman in Paris paid a visit to a lady, in whose parlor he saw a portrait of a lovely woman of, say, five and twenty. Upon the entrance of the ladv her visitor naturally asked her if the picture was a fam ily portrait and was told that it rep resented her deceased daughter. "Is it long since you lost her?" asked .the gentleman. "Alas, sir," replied the lady, "she died just after her birth, and I had a portrait painted to represent her as she would have appeared if slio had lived until now!" The Disenchanting Phonograph. The best story I have heard re cently is that told of a well known Oxford don who was asked to speak into a phonograph. A little later the machine was turned on again, and he was requested to listen to his own voice. The don then turned to the assembled company and said, "It is strange that through this ma chine 1 am made to speak in a pe culiarly bumptious and affected manner."—London Tatler.
