WATKINS. Prohibition Loader Who Had Second Place on 1908 Ticket HE HAD TO HURRY. On the Dead Ruth Because He Had No Time to Spare. In Chicago there is a man whom his friends know as Inahurry Jones. One morning about 10 o'clock a man with southern blood in his veins saw Jones, whose energy be had often admired, tearing down State street as if propel led by the winds of heaven. It came over the southerner to follow Jones just to see where he was going and how tremendous a matter was depend ent on his getting there. - Jones rushed Into the Pajmer House, rushed up to the cigar stand, grabbed a cigar, yelled back, "Puteronmyac count," without stopping to sort the Words, and dashed out, with the south erner panting hard behind. After tear, ing down Washington street for half a block he dived into the Field office building and just missed being jam med by the elevator doors in his de termination not to lose a car. The southerner took the next car up and entered Jones' office timidly, cer tain that he was about to come upon a conference of at least four of the most important men in Chicago's financial world. Inside he found Jones smoking his cigar behind the morning paper, his feet on his desk and his swivel chair tilted back comfortably. New York Tost. The Doomed Shepherd Dog. The shepherd's dog that kills a sheep is doomed. The penalty is death. Ste venson in one of his essays tells a story of how John Todd, "the oldest herd on the rentlands," once saw a dog he knew maneuvering toward a pool be hind Kirk Vetton. "John lay the closer under the bush and presently saw the dog come forth upon the margin, look ail about him to see If he were anywhere observed, plunge in and repeatedly wash him self over head and ears and then (but now openly with tail in alr strike homeward over the hills." But the aog's high intelligence did not save hint, John reported his doings, and he "was had out to a dykeside and promptly shot." He was a sheep eater; he had betrayed tois trust Londou Standard. Bears One Crop and Dies. The sago palm tree bears but one crop of fruit Its load of nuts is its first and final effort in the way of fruit bearing. The nuts become ripe and are strewn in thousands around the tree until the great stem stands up by itself, empty and bare. . The branches turn brown and drop one by one to the ground. Inside the trunk the work of decay is going on until what at ono time was a mass of white sago and pith becomes nothing but a collection of rotten brown fibers. One day the trade wind blows more strongly than usual, and the leafless column of the trunk falls with a crash, destroying in its fall many of the young palms that are already springing from the nuts scattered some months before. ASHLAND I , . THE OPEN MOUTH. Causes That Induce It When We Are Intently Listening. Why do we open our mouths when Intently listening? There are three causes, entirely In dependent of one another, but acting in unison, for this action. There ia a passageway called the' eustachian tube, connecting the back of the throat and the middle ear, the part behind the drum. When intently listening we hold our breath, and this permits Pound waves to enter Jhe mouth and reach the eustachian tube, and In this way they reach the drum and re-enforce the sound waves that come V'iroiigh the uatural channel, the outer ear., lo concentrated attention the mind Is fully engrossed In the one subject, and It loses control over voluntary muscles that are not directly affected by the subject or the process Involved In the motor activity that accompanies men tal activity. The muscles are relaxed, the lower jaw drops, and this opens the mouth. The third cause is referable to ata vism, or the tendency to return in form or action to an early type. Early man, like the animals, was urged to action by the fundamental Instincts! self preservation and race preservation. His two alms were to secure food and avoid or destroy enemies. Like the anlmn.ls. when his attention was at tracted by a sound he placed himself in the attitude for instant defense, at tack or securing food. In this attitude his mouth was open to grasp Instantly what came In his way. The tendency to open the month when intently lis tening still remains. New York Amer lean. DIG THEIR OWN GRAVES. English Army Methods In the Execu tion of Condemned Spies. The ceremony of disposing of a con demned spy In the English army al ways follows a definite precedent. The unfortunate man is surrounded by a detachment of infantry, and after he Is provided with a pick and shovel he is marched off to a selected spot and ordered to dig his own grave. This doue. the tools are taken from him and his eyes are bandaged. The attending chaplain reads portions se lected from the burial service, and from the ranks of the escort twelve men are selected at random by the officer In chnrge. These men. havlnj stacked their own rifles, are led to where twelve other rifles are awaiting them. , six of which are loaded with blank cartridges. One of these is handed to each man. so that no one knows whether the rifle he holds contains a bullet or not. and none can say for certain that the shot fired by him killed the prisoner. The firing party, then marches to an ap pointed position. The commands "Pre sent!" "Fire!" are given, and almost before the last word rings out the volley is fired and the spy falls into the grave he has dug. Nearly every man Is more or less af fected on being selected to form one of the firing party, nnd many men have been known to fnlnt away on be Ing singled out while others are so overcome as .to be scarcely able to pull the triggers of their rifles. Carlyle's Bluntness. Thomas Carlyle once took Lord Houghton (Richard Mllnesi to task In regard to the proposed pension for Lord Tennyson. "Richard Milnes,"sald Carlyle. taking his pipe out of his mouth, "when are ye gaun to get that pension for Alfred Tennyson?" Milnes tried to explain that there were diffi culties In the way and that possibly his constituents who knew nothing about Tennyson would accuse him of belug concerned in a job were he to succeed In getting the desired pension for the poet "Richard Milnes," replied the sage, "on the day of judgment, when the Lord asks ye why ye didnn get that pension for Alfred Tennyson. It'll no do to lay the blame on your constituents It's you that'll be damned." . Vulcan. Vulcan, the god or nnclent black smiths and metal workers, was lame In consequence of a pretty hard fall he had in his early days. Jupiter nnd Juno had a row. and Vulcan, sided with his mother against the old gen tleman, who promptly kicked him out of. heaven. He fell for a whole day and lighted on the Island of Leinnos. broke his leg and received as severe a shaking up as though he had tum bled dowu an elevator shaft Aescu lapius set his leg, but. having only just received a diploma, did a poor job. and for a long time Vulcan went on a crotch. Beloved of the Gods, Miss Mary Anderson (Mme. Navar ro) in the play of "Pygmalion and Gal atea" once turned with outstretched arms toward the audience. She was supposed to be appealing to heaven.

The word tip is of compartlvely mod ern origin, as it used to be vails, a shortened form of avails or profits. We speak now of the avails of an estate or of a business transaction. A hun dred years ago they called gratuities to servants or waiters vails. Dr. John Ion's dictionary, published In 1755, de fines vails as "money given to servants as a perquisite or present rather than In the way of wages." Dean Swift mentions a person "whose revenues, besides vails, amounted to 13." Shake speare uses the word In the same sense where he makes one of the fishermen In "Pericles" say. "But hark you. my friend, 'twas we that made up this gar ment and there are certain condol ments, certain vails." He wanted to be condoled with a tip. The practice probably continued to grow after Shakespeare's time, for late "p the eighteenth century a philan thropist and reformer of the period published a tract against indiscrim inate almsgiving, and denouncing the vails practice as demoralizing both to those who gave and to those who ac cepted the gratuities. This early re former was Jonas Hanway (1712-178C). who, after writing a book of eastern travel, undertook to reform some of the sooial vices of his day. He de nounced vailsglvlng and practiced what lie .preached by refusing to pay more than the stipulated price for re freshments or for any kind of service or to give gratuities to servants who received wages. But his crusade died with him. and vails still survive under the odious name of tips. Indianapolis News. ANTS HAVE FIVE NOSES. The Sense of Smell Is Very Important to These Insects. In their antennae, or feelers, ants have five noses, each of which has its own duties to perforin. One nose tells the ant whether it is In its own nest or that of an enemy; another nose discriminates between odors of ants of the same species, but of different colonies: a third nasal or gan serves the purpose of discerning I the scent Inid down by the ant's own I feet, so tlint it may be able to retrace the way quite easily: a fourth nose smells the larvae and pupae, and the fifth nose detects the presence of an enemy. If an ant be deprived of a certnln nose, it will live peaceably with ene mies, but if It retains Its fifth nose It I will fight the alien to the death. There is u difference In the functions of nose one and nose five, although they ap pear to be somewhnt alike. This sense of smell does not come till the ants are three days old. If. therefore, nuts only twelve hours old J are placed among others belonging to different colonies, they will grow up I quite amicably and not understand j that they are a mixed lot, because i they will have grown up with Ideas of j scent in accordance with their sur- roundings. The sense of smell to them j is as Important as the sense of sight I to human beings. Placid Hindu Servants. Hindoo servants are the most im perturable people in the world. You may throw -ne dowustairs or pat him on the back. He accepts both with ex actly the same expression of counte nance. The Indian's religion is at the ( bottom of all his nets, all his feelings. He eats, sleeps, moves and has bis be ejng according to religious formula, and his doctrine of reincarnation forms his whole philosophy of life. The fact that you are the master now is due to the fact that you have been the servant in some previous reincarnation. He Is the servant now, nnd the only chance : for him to be reborn in the master's his present Incarnation. He takes ev erything philosophically. It Is all a part of the day's work. Kept a Watch on His Men. Sir Edward Harland was the founder of the great. Belfnst firm of shipbuild ers. His lynx eyed vigilance was a legend at the works. It was said that he used to survey the workmen through a telescope from the windows of his residence. Oniilston. All the men felt that his eye was on them. A riveter who has a spite against a fellow work er on a ship can let a riveting hammer fall, apparently by accident, upon his victim. It was gravely alleged that Harland once by bis telescope caught a riveter In this act and. as soon as he arrived at the works, walked up to the man and sacked him. Glassy, "I suppose" said the man In the yel. low coat, trying to be chummy, "it doesn't hurt your glass eye when yon get anything In It?" "Docs it look as If it would ever be likely to have a pane In it?" responded the other frigidly. Ajid. he gave him a glassy stare. The Limit "Miss Pry is the most inquisitive sort of girl.

Many towns In Great Britain enjoy special and cculiar privileges. When, some years agd. parliament deprived the Cinque Ports of their ancient privi leges. Rrightlingsea. a Cinque Port "limb" or "appanage," was In some way overlooked. Consequently Its in habitants are still exempt from serv ing on Juries, they cannot be taken by the press gang, and the town can still appoint Its own ale taster. It Is at BrightllLgsea that the ceremony of electing the mayor takes place In the belfry of the parish church. In at least one manor, that of the Earl of Carnarvon, the inhabitants may cheerfully disregard the enact ments of the ground game act, passed twenty years ago. The ancient right ?if free chase and warren over freehold and is still In force there. Indeed It was actually exercised a very few years ago. and a private bill was brought Into parliament designed to do away with It The bill however failed to become law. The freedom of the city of London carries with It, nominally, at any rate, the right to keep pigs in the parish of St. James, Piccadilly. But, If any one was disposed to avail himself of this liberty land in that part of London is somewhat too costly for profitable pig farming. London Enmity II era Id. The Tidings is for sale at W. M.
