Judge Porterfleld of Kansas City, presiding la tbe famous Hyde murder trial, asked this question: "Has any man on this Jury ever been cea rioted of felony r There wee no answer. Afterward, hewerer, one of the Jurymen sought the Judge in chambers and "I am an ex-convict, convicted twenty years ago. 81nce then I bare been leading a square, honest life. I couldn't stand up In the courtroom and confess; I couldn't for my family's sake." Tbe) Juryman explained he had been glyaa two years In prison for a sbootlng scrape. aid the judge: MI know you. Yon are a good dtlsen. Ton shall not hare to tell your story to any man. and It shall not pass this door." And that Is bow this Jean Valjean found a Judge with bowels of mercy. ' "But," yon say, "would any one binder tbe reform of aucb a man or hurt bis prospects, a man who has suffered his punishment and now la Uvlng an upright life?" Listen to this tale. I personally know It is true: An ex-convict of exemplary record was paroled by the state board of pardons and went to an Iowa town where be had lived In all good conduct and Joined a church. He was asked to take part in the program of a church entertainment Now, there was a certain woman. Tbla woman learned by some means that tha man had served time In pris"ou, whereupon she withdrew from the entertainment committee. Well. Learning the woman's action, the poor man said he would step aside. It was in vain the best people urged him to atay, averring they preferred to let the woman go out of the church rather than lose him. He was firm. What else could he do? He wrote to tbe parole beard, told the story and asked to be permitted to move to another town in the state, which, was granted. Somebody ought to thunder In 'that woman's ear, "If ye forgive not men their trespasses." how will Ood forgive you? Merciful Judge rorterfield! Hard hearted woman! lus Js My 59th Bihhday SAMUEL HUGHES. Colonel Samuel Hughes, Minister of Militia In the Dominion cabinet, was born in Darlington, Ontario, January 8, 1833, and received his education principally at Toronto University.

The Crucible Of Hardship.

Zero weather, trains growing These were the teats that tried

gressive principles in Richmond. And they stood tbe test. Hundreds of people fared forth to the Coliseum on Saturday night until at eight o'clock there was a crowd which was as great as a campaign crowd and people still coming. When at that hour the acting chairman, A. E. Smith received reports that La Follette's train had not yet left Indianapolis that man exclaimed to his helpers: "We must tell them the truth the exact truth what they do then is up to them." And so before a splendid audience he arose with the heart-breaking news that the train was late and that it was the intention of tbe committee not to urge men to stay to daily with the chances of an everdwindling hope a Pennsylvania train in the throes of zero weather.

But what happened? The crowd seemed to appreciate the whole situation to recognize that they were not being told anything but the exact state of things, that they were not coaxed to believe anything which their own better sense told them to the contrary. Many lingeringly left; announcing that they would be back; and so the night wore on. To the end there were hundreds of people hoping against every hope that by some miracle the impossible could happen. Two to three hundred people staid at the X'oliseum to the end; others were at tbe station.

Men who mingled with the crowd were surprised at the spirit which was shown. There bad never been any very accurate way of judging just the temper of the people; the solidity which marks the progressive movement. And so it had been all along the line said the correspondents of the great newspapers that came into Richmond on the train. I.a Follette was nowhere regarded as an ordinary politician but as a progressive leader and was met with Bincere fervor like that which takes on tbe zeal of religion. Nothing else, said these men, could account for the crowds which gathered in the freezing weather. Did the wind hurl the sleet in La Follette's face as be addressed some crowd from the back platform of a train the crowd of hundreds had been waiting there for hours to hear what he had to say. The fire never went out!

This strange spectacle in a time when there is no campaign shows tbe determination of the Americans to get to tbe bottom of things and settle things for themselves. The unrest has solidified into fixity of purpose; the purpose has been to restore government to the people.

The men from Richmond who met La Follette on the ill-fated train tell a tale of similar fixity of purpose and undaunted courage. To the end La Follette protested that he "must go to Richmond." He insisted at Terre Haute in cutting out the meeting and taking a special. But that would not have changed the situation. And so in the most terrible anguish of dangerous illness he suffered on the train he stood masking his pain and watching the progress of tbe train. He would not lie down and take rest until the Richmond committee fearful for the consequences on his life, told him that he must lie down and have no thought of speaking at midnight and waiting for another train already behind its schedule.

This estimate of the La Follette meeting may seem not believable to those captains of industry who hope against hope that the feeling of the citizens will not arrive in time to be effective. But let them go out on the highways and by-ways and they will find that the progressive sentiment here has crystalized In some strange fashion. It verily seems that the progressives gain in adversity; that out of the crucible of hardship, there comes a finer courage tempered in the warmth of their own devotion. For nothing else can explain the unfaltering waiting of the crowd in full knowledge of the situation their waiting a protest against the mis-rule of America and their belief in tbe honesty and ability of Robert Marion La Follette It Is the crucible of hardship.

EXPERT TESTIMONY. A Case Where Two Infalliblee Held Conflicting Opinions. The fallibility ot expert testimony, which under stress of clever cross examination tends to the too decided statement, is amusingly revealed in "Science and the Criminal," a book by C. Alnsworth Mitchell, the head of tbe inspection bureau of Scotland Yard. Nethercllffe, who was tbe chief handwriting expert In the days when the witty Lord Brampton was at the bar, had such faith in his methods that finally he came to believe that he could not make a mistake. In a case in which be was under cross examination by Lord Brampton, then Mr. Hawkins, Nethercllffe had claimed that his system gave infallible results and had further stated that his "THIS DATE

hourly later the stamina and devotion of

"Yes," replied the father, with some pride in his voice, "he is." "That is to say, he, too, is infallible?" "Yes, again replied the witness. "Well, now. Mr. Nethercllffe, was there ever a rase in which you and your son appeared on opposite sides':" Nethercllffe tried to evade the qu.tion, which, he complained, was an unfair one, mit on being pressed was forced to admit that on a certain occasion he had given evidence on one side and his son upon the other. Swift came the unanswerable retort: "How comes It. then, that two inf alii hies appeared on opposite sides?" IN HISTORY' Caikes Cookies, jumbles, drop cakes, etc will be delicious if you use Rumford.

CROCODILES IN WATER. Practically Invisible Themselves, They See, Hear and Breath. Tbe crocodiles are thoroughly aquatic in their habits, and their peculiar conformation enables them to attack and seize their prey unawares. Their nostrils, which lead by a long; canal to the back part of their throats, their eyes and their ears, are placed on the upper part of the bead, so that when in tbe water they can breathe, see and hear, while they are themselves practically Invisible. When they dive their nostrils and ears are closed by lids or valves, and their eyes are covered by a transparent nictitating membrane. Tbey are further furnished with an arrangement which prevents tbe water from getting down their own throats when they are holding large animals under the water to drown them. The dentition of these reptiles is peculiar. The teeth are sharp and conical and are hollow at the base, and each tooth serves as the sheath of another, which will in time replace it. The tongue for notwithstanding the ancient belief the crocodile does possess a tongue is fleshy and Is attached to the bottom of the mouth. And finally tbe lower Jaw Is hinged at the very back of the skull, thus giving the animal its extraordinary gape and also the peculiar appearance which caused the notion that it moved its upper jaw.

Bowing In 1780. Bowing In 1780 was quite a ceremony, judging from the rules for doing it properly, given in the Atlantic: "If you bow to any one passing by do it in this manner: Hake the right hand to your hat gracefully. Tut your forefinger as far as the crown and your thumb under the brim, and then raise it from your head gracefully and easily. "Look at the person you bow to, and bold your body gently forward. "Hold your left arm straight down at your side, neither drawing it forward or backward. "Move tbe right leg, if the person goes by on the right side, and keep the other firm. "If the person goes by on the left side move tbe left leg and keep tbe right Arm. "Let yonr body be bowed moderately, not too much." The Troublesome Quail. "This quail is finely prepared, dear," said the young husband enthusiastically at table. "Oh. I'm so glad!" returned his delighted wife. "I was afraid you would refuse to eat it after all the trouble I had with It." "Refuse to eat it? Nonsense! But what trouble did you have with it. dear?". "Well, when I was sliding It out of the oven it slipped and went Into the coal scuttle, and then I had to chase Towser over into the next yard before I could snatch it out of his mouth." National Magazine. Blesaed With a Wife. A former vicar of a country parish not far from Sheffield was a gentleman distinguished for his learning and for j the position he took at Cambridge. One day a visitor to the village got into conversation with one of the parishioners, and the talk turned to tbe vicar. "Your clergyman," said the visitor, "is a very able man. Why, he is a wrangler." "I never heard that," was the reply of the villager, "but his missis is." London Tit-Bits. CHICHESTER S PILLS W,EV . TOE IAOM BRAND. jf ladies!

The Theaters

"Miss Nobody From Star! and." "Miss Nobody From Starland"' plroutted through two performances at the Gennett Saturday, this being her second appearance in this city. This production is distinguished from others of its class by a clever and more or less amusing diversion in the way of a presentation of a "play within a play" in the second act which shows a stape "behind the scenes'" and the machinery in operation. There is little to be said about the whatever you call conglomerations of this sort "musical entertainment" this particular one is down 01 the program, save that it is the usual thing with good looking girls in the chorus, some fairly good dancing, an assinine story, baldheaded idiots doddering after silly sirens, the inevitable lady with the stiletto and others odds and ends. The latter impersonated by Miss Bertie Beaumont in the role of "Nina, an Italian Girl," proved herself supposedly herself an unusually brilliant dancer after the manner of her sister of the ballet, with a voice of engaging quality. Miss Olive V ail, evidently the Miss Nobody, sang well enough although rather off the key in her first solo number, but failed to make an impression on the audience, after a fashion. Miss Vail was obsessed with the idea or seemed to be of her own importance and pulchritude. The latter is considerable indeed Miss Vail is a very pretty girl, on the order of a Vasear graduate but when you're "out with the show" it is as well, from the point of view of the audience, to not be too much the disdainful lady. However, the affair was a pleasant enough "evening's entertainment" as these things go and some pretty girls more so than usual in things that come to Richmond and as people go to the theater nowadays largely to gaze at the feminine pedal extremity, what more do you want?

WEBSTER'S BLUE COATS.

His Liking For the Color Came From Hie Early Homespun Suite. Daniel Webster went to Dartmouth college in a homespun suit ot which probably every thread was carded, spun and woven by his mother's hand from tbe wool of their own sheep. It was a dyed In the wool suit, and the color was Indigo blue. In tbe south butternut was used; but. though the Yankee dames knew ail about the uses of butternut bark and the subtle power for elate color that lay in the sumac berries and bark of white maple and were not unacquainted witb the various dyes that root and flower, bark and leaf could be made to yield through the agency of vitriol and alum and copperas to "set" them fast, the universal standby in New England was the blue pot. par excellence the "dye pot." that stood In the chimney corner of every kitchen in that region. So Webster was fitted out in indigo blue from collar to ankle. Before reaching Hanover there came on one of those drenching rains that wet a man to the skin. The suit held Its own. but it parted with enough dye to tinge Daniel blue from bead to foot. Webster had a liberal stratum of sentiment in his mental makeup, and for some reason the color of his young manhood remained his favorite wear through life. He wore blue coats to his dying day. If any one ever saw him in one of a different color the fact has not beeu made of record. Exchange. Cutting Herbs, The active principle of all plants is strongest just when the flowering proc ess is going on, but before seeds are actually formed, and this is, therefore, the best time for cutting and drying berbs. The patrons of the Orpheum music hall, in Sacramento, have voted to cut out smoking. There were 3,320 votes in favor of extending the permission to smoke, and 5,696 against a continu ance of the practise. CASTOR I A For Infants and Children. Tbe Kind You Han Always Es!
