She mmt PROCTOR KNOTT'S STORY Sitting in the rotunda of (he Alexander Hotel of Louisville, Troctor Knott last night told this story: " It was the most remarkable scene I ever , witnessed, It occurred during my early man- hood, when I was Attorney General of Missouri. Robert Stewart was then Governor of tha State. One day I was in his private office when he pardoned a steamboat man for some crime, What it was I have forgotten, but tha does not matter, The man had been brought from the penitentiary to the Governor's office) He was a large, powerful fellow, with the rough manners of his class. The Governor looked at the steamboat man and seemed strangely o fleeted. He scru tinizedhim closely, Fiinally he signed the document that restored him to liberty, but as be handed it to him, said: 'You will commit som1 other crime and be in the pen herniary again, I fear,' The man solemnly promised that he would not, The Governor looked doubtful mused a few moments and said. "You will go back on the river and be a mate again, I suppose?" 'The man replied that he would." 4,Well, I want yon to promise me one thing resumed the Governor. 'I want you to pledge your word that when your are a mate again you will never take a billet of wood in ycur hand and drive a sick boy out of a bunk to help you load your boat on a stormy n:ght. "The steamboat man said that he would not and he inquired what the Governor meant by asking him such a question ? "The Governor replied: 'Because some day that boy may become a Governor and you may want him to pard:n you for a crime. One dark stormy night many years ago you stepped your boat on the Mississippi to take on a load c; wood, There was a boy on board who was working his passage from New Orleans to St Louis, bnt he was very sick of a fever and was lying in a bunk, You had plenty of men to do the work, but you Jwent to that boy with a stick in your hand and drove him, with blows and curses, out into the wretched night and kept him toiling like a slave until the load was completed, I was that boy. Here is yovr pardon, '' Never again be guilty of such a bru talily.' And the man, cowering and hiding his face, went out. As I never heard of him again I suppose he took care not to break the law Canada's military force is attracting some attention in view of the belligerent talk of some of the papers in regard to the Behring Sea controversy. The display 'is reassuring, not merely to those who desire to see the United States free from foreign attack, but to those who disbelieve in large armaments. The grand total of the Canadian army is 37,474 men, though the number as reliable reserves is far larger. It is, .however, doubtful whether thy all would be really very available. When the large amount of territory to be guarded, and really policed, by this force is taken into con. sideration it becomes very evident that we have little more to fear from them than they have from us, and that there is little danger of any but a friendly and just agreement in regard to existing aimcumes. A Republican organ says that its prty "has maintained for twenty two years duties on wool intended to be fully protective." At the end of this period wool brings less to the farmer than it did when the duty was increased, wooll en manufacturers are hampered by the tax on in creased cost of foreign wools which they must have for admixture and the honest woollen clothing of the people it greatly enhanced in cost. The "intent" may have been goo J, The actual effect has been wholly bad, A great deal of annoyance has been ex perienced by Americans visiting Ireland by the present prohibition against carrying arms in that country, and only the other day 9 CaUfornian, quite unconscious that he had committed any offense, found him self hailed before a magistrate and fined 5, besides forfeiting his revolver.

The following method of filling up nail hole, in wood i. not only simple, but .aid to be effectual: Take fine sawdust and mix into a thick paste with glue, pound it Into ihe hole, and) when dry, it will make the wood a. goo i a. new. In one neighborhood in Dakota recently there were only two Inciter ina'chc. to go around among twelve families, and per- ni were detailed ti build fire, and keep them alive night "nd day until a .upp'y could be had.

Hi. wife also resumed her maiden name ind accept, the situation fully persuaded that the annulment by the church restore her former state.

A. the laws of the state bound the parses there can bs but little doubt about the legal aspect of I the question and the church will hardly go to the extreme of resisting the law.
