A UHIOUE CAMPAIGN John F. Kline Sends Out Novel Easter Post Cards Asking His Parole.

SHOWS HIS ORIGINALITY

(American News Servlca) Pittsburg, Pa., March 26. A unique campaign for parole was launched today by John F. Kline, the little captain, whose confession first bared the magnitude of the councilmanic graft here. The postcards show a likeness of Captain Kline, a picture of his steamboat and of the confession with the accompanying observation to the effect that no man is ever down until he is boxed up and nailed in. Also there is a skull and crs bones appeal for public sympathy which reads in part: "Graft, the American system of business. "I am on my way . to the stone pile for 1777 days and 1777 nights with time off for good behavior and I assure you that it will be good. I will have to serve 914 days, two years and seven months, requiring 8,226 meal tickets for Mrs. Kline and the two babies." Klein then asks: "Did I commit a crime?" And replies: "I didn't help bleed the state capitol." Then he pleads: "Won't you some day assist in having me paroled after you think I have been sufficiently punished?" He has sent out thousands of these cards as Easter greetings.

THE AMERICAN ACCENT.

An English Writer Frees His Mind en the Subject. "The American accent," writes a contemporary correspondent, "is far less Irritating than the cockney dialect, and It would be well for us if the former, which is at least musical, could be substituted for the cacophonous patois of our east end." As a matter of fact, we think that the cockney accent has a certain number of real admirers, but what we wish to call to onr readers' minds particularly is that America has its cockney, so to speak, precisely as we have. People In Kentucky have a rather burrish way of speaking, and they loathe and detest the fruity twang which overwhelms New England. The westerner, again, is responsible for the dialect which was supplied on the English boards by stage Yankees. Whether you acquire the American accent or not depends on the length of time yon remain in America. Englishmen who stay in New York for protracted periods preserve their native cadences intact. It Is the man who

pays a flying visit to the United States who comes back and always says 4nop" for "no" and "yep" for "yes. Once we met a man who had returned from a week's stay in Boston. He said he bad beard it was easy to acquire the twang and finally exclaimed. "Waal, stranger, I guess it may be dead easy for some, but not for Blank Z. Asterisk," meaning himself. "Now, what's yonr opinion? Am I right?" London Globe.

Wednesday, the 30th instant" The Canadian representatives were in conference at the White House exactly one hour.

(American News Service) ... Venice, March 26. The judge presiding over the trial of the countess Tarnowskl, "the enchantress, today gave way to suffragette tactics and rescinded his order barring woman from the courtroom.

They will be admitted when the case is resumed on Tuesday, provided each is heavily veiled. It is expected that the evidence will be all in within a fortnight.

Curious Optical Properties. Asterisin is the beautiful name given to a curious optical property of certain minerals. They show's star shaped figure where light is reflected from tbein or transmitted through them. This is seen iu the star stone, which is a sort of sapphire, and in the star ruby. There is asterisin also in mica. The photograph of a lamp flame taken through a plate of mica shows a six rayed star, with six fainter radiations between. Outwardly star mica resembles the ordinary form and shows the same phenomena under polarized light. When examined under the microscope, however, the star mica is found to contain tine needles of another mineral. And these are regularly arranged at angles of 120 degrees. To these needles is due the star seen by transmitted light. Chicago Tribune.

Prank Stockton and Poetry. Frank Stocktou never could write a successful poem. In this connection the novelist frequently told a good story on himself. In his youth in con-

I junction with his brother John he

wrote many poems, with which be afflicted the editors of various Canadian periodicals. The effusions always came back. The editor of one magazine was an especial target of the Stocktons, but as none of their poems was ever accepted the brothers came to the conclusion that the editor had no conception of good poetry. To prove their belief they bunted up and dispatched to him an ode, little known, by Milton. Within two days they received a check and a letter of thanks. "I came to the conclusion that that editor knew poetry when he saw it after all." Mr. Stockton nsed to say, "and gave up trying to write it."

THE VORACIOUS TUNAS.

What Happens When They Meet 8chool of Flying Fish.

One time at San Clemente we sight

ed a feeding school of tuna, an exhilarating sight. A flying fish weighing a pound and a half or more would tart from the water and soar an extraordinary distance, nearly out of eight, but every inch of that flight I knew was covered by a big tuna keeping his place Just beneath the flier and ready to seize It the moment it fell Into the water. This rarely failed. The moment the fish began to drop the tuna would spring at it like a tiger, turning and tossing the spume Into the air with a splendid and electrifying rush, a maneuver that was repeated all over the blue channel The sensational charge meant that a school of tanas had discovered a school of its natural prey, flying fishes. At once the lust for blood and food was on. and carnage was the result. 1 have observed some curious scenes at sea. but never have 1 seen fear so forcibly expressed as by a school of flying fishes, exhausted and at the mercy of the voracious tunas. 1 have bad them gather about my boat and cling to its keel as closely as they could, while the air was full of leaping, tunas and soaring fish. . At such times when a school -of sardines is rounded up the fishes are so terrified that men have rowed up to them and scooped them in by the pailful. Out-
