If marriage is a lottery then alimony is a sort of gambling debt.'

Of course the bachelor should taxed. Its worth it. be Most of us owe our lives to chauffers who haven't run over us YET. A lot of sympathy Is wasted on the under dog and the old maid. Somehow or other marriage does not seem of such importance to a woman after she has accomplished it. Little Mary was playing with her pet kitten when as the result of abuse the cat scratched her. She exclaimed, "You is a darned old kitten." Her mother told her she must never use such a naughty word, and to fully impress her washed her mouth with soap and water. The next day Mary was again playing with the kitten, and again there was trouble but she was heard to remark: "You is the same kind of a kitten you was yesterday." A teacher had been reading to her pupils a story which contained the words 'bitter end.' A child asked what it meant and the teacher in turn asked if any child could use the words in a sentence. One little girl raised her hand and gave her idea as follows: "I had a little kitten and a dog chasei! ner, ana wnen sue was running under the porch the dog bit her end." I was dining at the home of a friend who had a three year old daughter. Directly after dinner the guests who were sitting in the library were start led by a shrill little voice calling from above: "Mother, I want a drink." "No you do not daughter," said the mother. "go back to bed like a good llttlo girl.' Twice more the little girl called down insisting that a drink of water be brought to her. Then tho mother cal led to her to go to sleep or she might be forced to come up and spank her. Another silence and the a subdued lit tle voice was neara. Mother, wnen you come upstairs to spank me, please bring me a drink." She got it. it is said that an Indiana man has a new method of cutting short recitals which promise to be long-winded.

On receiving a negative re ply he continued: "It seems that when oysters are taken from the sea they sometimes open their shells and let tho juice or liquid run out. As this is unde sirable the experienced oyster gatherer has a tub of water close at hand into which the oyster Is plunged as soon as it commences to open its shell." "Well, and what then?" asked the other as tho narrator paused. Tho Hammondito smiled slyly and quietly remarked: "Oh, after a while the oyster learns "to keep its mouth shut." 3WS FACTS in OUTLINE CapL Charles DeF.

at Leavenworth Penitentiary Begins in Sorrow. ALL FULL OF EAPPINESS LATER Sequel cf a Strange Stcry cf a PostoSce Robbery. Jannary Is Recommended for Pardon by President Roosevelt Ijong Parted Brother Reunited. Leavenworth, Kan., May 1. A dramatic scene was enacted here in the office of the deputy warden of the federal penitentiary when "Mrs. Chas. V. Anderson." her 5-vear-old daughter and Robert January, of CMIlieotliei Mo., a brother of tho prisoner, cams to pay a visit to William January, alias Anderson, the escaped convict recently recaptured in Kansas City. The wife carried the glad tidinjrs from Washington of President Roosevelt's note favoring tho pardon of the prisoner, in response to the appeals of 4000 petitioners. Robert January eama to renew a family tie that had been broken for years. Had Not Heard the Good News. Mrs. Anderson, for this is the name under which she was married to January, with her child and Robert January, had started from Kansas City early in tho morning to cheer the prisoner. Frail and sad eyed fcho had appeared at the warden's office on her usual stated visit, with no knowledge of the good news in store. A newspaper man met the little party and read the Associated Tress dispatch from Washington. Instantly light and color lit up the face of the woman, but Kho was too overcome to give vent to her feelings in words. Warned Not To Re Too Happy. "I cannot express my feelings ot gratitude," she finally paid, then hurried to the office of Warden W. R. MeCIaughry to gain permission for an interview with January. Before permitting the wife and brother to visit the prisoner Warden MeCIaughry warned Mrs. Anderson not to build up her husband's hopes too high. He told her that the president's order was only a preliminary step, and that while ha believed the press dispatches contain ing it were true he had not yet been officially notified of the action. WAS A REUNION OP BROTHERS What President Roosevelt Told the De partment of Justice. Mrs. Anderson, the little girl, and Robert January were escorted into the deputy warden's office, and soon William January was called in. Al thousrh the brothers had not met in years, and only the newspaper notorie ty of the case had brought the Chilli cothe man here to seek his brother, they recognized each other instantly. A tearful, happy greeting ensued, while tha wife and child stood by. Then the wife, nervous and excited as a result of the news from Washington, approached. After they had embraced and January had kissed both wife and child the woman began eaufiouslv to tell the prisoner of the As sociated Press dispatch. January had previously been apprised of the great activity in his behalf, but he was not prepared to hear so quickly such important results. Immediately his eyes brightened, he stood erect, and his whole manner (hanged. ITe saw himself again in sight of liberty in the midst of his family and surrounded by friends who held him in respect. Again he gave way to tear?, but this time tears of joy, and the little group of relatives joined with him, giving way freely to their intense feeling of happiness. The prison officials considerately withdrew and a lengthy joyous family confab ensue!. January Avas convicted a number ot years ago of robbing a postoffice in Oklahoma and served the greater part of a five-year sentence at Leavenworth. Tie then escaped and after nine years of liberty wa arrested in Kansas City and returned to prison. Many petitions have reached the president asking for his pardon. January had lived in Kansas City under the name of Charles W. Anderson during the time he was at liberty. In recommending commutation or pardon the president says to the department of justice: "In view of the statements of the judges, bank presidents, and so forth, who know him, I think Anderson's nine years of life as an honest citizen, hard working and of good repute warrant us in commuting his sentence at once or in pardonlng him outright. Which do you think ought to be done? Are there sufficient reasons for not doing either?" The d partment of justice began the Immediate consideration cf the case. Big Embezzler Arrested.

Meeting: That Took Place

Seven Men Imprisoned in a Coal Mine by a Sudden Inundation.

BEEN THERE SINCE FRIDAY 110021 First Sight of Them Is Had at 10 0' Clock Last Night. Two Brave Rescuers Swim to the Uef uf "Story of the Lieaderihip That Saved tho Prisoners. Johnstown, Pa., May 1. After being entombed since last Friday noon in the Berwind-Whire coal mine No. GS, at Foustwell, near here, the seven miners who were shut off from the world by a sudden rush of water caused by tho breaking of a wall of an abandoned mine were rescued at 10 m. The men were greatly exhaust ed. Owing to their weakened condi tion it was decided not to bring them out until after the mine had been drained. Never in the history of the mining region has such a joyous scene been witnessed as when the unfortu nate men were reached. Hundreds of people who gathered about watching the work of rescue cheered, laughed and cried. Dash Through a Flooded Heading. Many believed the men had perished during the long confinement in the mine. The men were reached by Stlney Rodon and Charles Ream, who made a dash through fifty feet of water-filled heading. Earlier in the day Join Boyla, a brother of one of the impris oned men, and three comrades made a futile attempt to reach the lmpris oned men. These men came back half drowned, and reported that portions of the heading were still completely filled with water, and that more pump ing would have to be done before the imprisoned men could be reached. Ream Brings Back Good News. The efforts at pumping were then redoubled. At -10 p. m. the water hat so far gone down that it was resolved to make one more attempt to break through to the overcast where it was ueneved tne unfortunate men were still alive. Stiney Rodon and Charle: Beam volunteered for the service and plunged out into the water and dark ness. Over an hour elapsed before either man was heard from, and then Ream came swimming back through the heading bringing the first newe from the Imprisoned seven. The ef fort had nearly exhausted Ream. SENT TOR3I BRANDY AND WATER Bolya, Leader of the Captives, 31an of Knowledge and Action. lie reported that the seven men were alive, and all in good shape, but that until more pumping was done the passage to the place where they had taken refuge was impassable to those who could not swim. When the news was received that the seven were alive it was resolved to allow them to remain where they were until the heading had been pumped out. Ream and his comrade carried to the imprisoned men simply a flask of brandy and a little water. He reported that Mike liolya had since the breaking of the walls between the abandoned workings been in charge of the movements of his comrades. I'.olya, who was a mine contractor, was a man acquainted with every turn of the mine in which he was imprisoned. When the flood broke out, according to the story he told Ream, he led his comrades to the highest point in the heading, where the "overoast" was situated. Under Rolya's direction each man before fleeing eeized his lunch basket. When they arrived at the "overcast" every lamp but one was extinguished and one by one the lamps were each burned out, until when they were reached by Rodon and Ream there wras but a single light re maining, and that in danger of going out at any time. tioiya stated tnat tne lamps were burned because the darkness and noise of the water rushing in the headings, as it was driven back and forth by the expansion of air cushions caused by the flood, was so terrifying that the men feared that their rtc-son would leave them if left In darkness. Bolya stated that of the dangers they faced the darkness was the most terrible. When stock was taken of the availa ble supply of provisions it was found that three baskets were but half emp tied. This scanty stare of rations was husbanded until Monday mornln when the men had nothing to eat During the whole time they were imprisoned they had gone without wat er, fearing to drink the water from the abandoned working. Ream stated that at the place where the men had sought refuge there bad been a supply of ties left for track-laying purposes. With these Bolva and his comrades had built a platform upon which tbey sought refuge, and when found they were not only high, but dry. Laurler Hits Uncle Sara. London, May 1. Wilfrid Laurler, of Canada, addressing the Cadanian club, said he had no fear that Canada would be "Americanized." The eml grant3 from the United States to Canada were a practical people who had quirted the United States for Canada because they believed it a better coun try with better laws, which were ad ministered ten-fold better than the laws of the United States-
