THE MAJESTY OK THE I>AW.
For collecting five cents under
false pretenses a man forty-six years
of age was sent to Sing Sing recently
for two and a half years, by a county
judge in Brooklyn.
A respectable boy in Plainfield, N.
J., shot and killed a rabbit that was
nibbling at the cabbages in his gar
den. The game warden arrested him
for killing rabbits of out season. The
lad was dragged from his home and
given three months in jail. Every
body in the village but the judge and
game warden at once petitioned the
Governor for his pardon. It was im
mediately granted.
A stranger called at the door of
Senator Goff at i .arksburg, W. Va.,
with a package » earing Mr. Goff’s
name. The Senator told the man that
he had not ordered anything. The
stranger insisted that the Senator’s
name was on the package and that it
be left. When opened it contained
whiskey and the senator was at once
arrested and fined for violation of the
State prohibition law, notwithstand
ing he declared he knew nothing of
how it came to him.
New York has a law forbidding the
possession of deadly weapons. A Col
umbia college professor, while living
in the Maine woods, had a revolver
1n his outfit. When he was about
to return to New York he directed the
revolver be left in his bungalow un
til the next year but upon unpacking
his belongings in New York he found
the weapon. He called in a police
man to take charge of it. The po
liceman at once placed the professor
' under arrest on a charge of violating
the law and took his before a police
magistrate. He was discharged.
The majesty of the law must be
vindicated.
THE ELECTION INDICATES.
That the Progressive party has dis
solved into its original elements—
mostly Republican.
That President Wilson’s popularity
is confined to the members of his
own party.
That, in the language of Congress
man Longworth, “Protection and
Preparedness will be the two great
issues upon which the Republican
party will rest its cause with the peo
ple in 1916."
That Woman Suffrage in the East
ern States is beaten but not disheart
ened.
That attacks on the railroads and
on big business by Governor Walsh
of Massachusetts neither pleased nor
fooled the people of his State.
That Maryland and Kentucky will
be fighting ground for both parties
next yeAp\
That the disgraceful misgovern
ment of American cities is arousing
taxpayers to demand efficiency and
economy in public administration.
That Prohibition is having its
hardest fight in the big cities and is
increasing its strength in the rural
sections.
That the next Congress will be
! more inclined to constructive than to
destructive legislation.
That the South is still solid for
Democracy.
That New York State will be
doubtful in 1916 unless the Republi
can State ticket is made up of the
(strongest men the party can name,
I from top to bottom.
That in his own State in New Jer
| gey President Wilson is not stronger
| than his party—nor in any other
i State.
i That the second term plank of the
j Democratic National platform may
still mean what it says.
That many voters of German de
scent intend to vote as they talk.
That the people are sick of “freak
ishness” in legislation and the “Mex
icanizing of American Institutions,”
as the San Francisco Chronicle aptly
says in commenting on the sweeping
defeat of Governor Johnson.
I Let the thinking people rule—
when they want to.—Leslie’s.
' A party of four men left for Fair
banks over the Government trail this
morning, which shows that even in
winter the old-timers prefer it to oth
jer routes. The trail is reported in
good condition everywhere but at the
Summit, where it is drifted from the
heavy gale blowing there the past
few days. The party apprehends no
great trouble in getting through, anjl
were said to be greatly pleased that
the snow was deep enough to make
easy going.
What, in all Alaska can you get to
send to your friends in the States bet
ter than a few nice views of Alaska?
There is not a soul living in any
country that is not interested in Alas
ka. Not a soul-that does not appre
ciate pictures of Alaska. A view of
the last frontier on earth, that costs
you ten cents now, or as much more
as you like, cannot be bought of your
friends to whom you send it for ten
dollars, years from now. What other
one thing is surer to increase in val
ue with time than views? And you
can make your present just as much
or just as little as you like. Remem
ber, however, that it takes a little
time to make them. P. S. Hunt. tf

DADDY LONGLEGS.
M* Is Hsrmlsss, H* Doesn’t Bit*, and
H.s Isn’t e Spider.
Don’t call a daddy longlegs a spider,
because he Isn't Spiders bite and
h*V£ poison glands. This Insect Is per
fectly harmless. It Isn’t Just pleasant
to have one of them crawl up your
arm or Sown your neck, but you’re Just
as safe as when he Isn’t there—ten
times safer than the Insect is just at
that moment He's uot only harmless,
bat so common that you’ll Bud him al
most any place In the world where It’s
warm enough for him to exist
In good old American language we
call him daddy touglegs. Maybe you’ve
heard him called harvest man or grand
father graybeard. He has eight long
legs bowed In the middle, so that when
he’s standing up bis Uttle round body
almost touches the ground where he
walks. He also has two eyes and two
pincers, which you will see If you ex
amine him closely.
From midsummer to late autumn
daddy, longlegs scampers about over
rocks, tree trunks, gets tn the picnic
marmalade In the park, crawls up the
fisherman's neck along the stream, col
lects in barns and has a general good
time. Few of them survive the win
ter.
In Mammoth cave, Kentucky, the
daddy longlegs are blind.—Philadelphia
North American.
LEMBERG RICH IN NAMES.
It Has Had Twenty-savan Different
Ones In Its Career.
Many cities are known by more than
one name, but It Is given to few to re
joice In more than half a dozen dis
tinctive cognomens. But the historic
Galician city of Lemberg has been
known at one time or another by no
less than twenty-seven different appel
lations.
According to the Polish Bulletin, the
ancient Ilutbenlan names for Lwoff
were Lwow, Lwlw. Lwlhrad, Lwiho
rod, Ilwlw; the Germans called it Lem
borg, Lemberg, Lemburg, Loewenburg;
the Latin and pseudo Latin uames in
dude Lebburga, Lamburga, Leontopo
lls, Leone. Livivla. Leopolya; In the
thirteenth century it was known to the
Greeks ns Litbon and Llfbada.
The pntriarchs of Constantinople.
Alexandria and Jerusalem referred to
it as Leovios and Leonopolis: the Turks
call it in their books 1111, Ilbo, Ilbot,
Ilibow, Ilbadir; the Armenians gave to
It the name of Ilof; the Russians have
lately baptized it Lwoff.
The real name of the city, it is as
serted, is the Polish one of Lwow,
which literally translated means Lion
City.
Why Boiled Water Freezes Easily.
Water which la hot, of course, can
not freeze until it has parted with Its
heat, but water that has been boiled
will, other things being equal, freeze
sooner than water which has not been
boiled. A slight disturbance of water
disposes it to freeze more rapidly, and
this is the cause which accelerates the
freezing of boiled water. The water
that has been boiled has lost the air
naturally contained in it, which on ex
posure to the atmosphere it begins
again to attract and absorb. During
this process of absorption a motion is
necessarily produced among its parti
cles. slight certainly and Impercepti
ble, yet probably sufficient to accel
erate its congelation. In unboiled wa
ter this disturbance does not exist in
deed, water when kept perfectly still
can be reduced several degrees below
the freezing point without its becoming
Ice.
Knew What He Was Doing.
At the time of the great disaster in ]
Martinique the Italian bark Orsolina
was taking on a cargo of sugar there
Her captain was accustomed to volca
noes. and he did not like the appear
ance of Mont Pelee. Not half his cargo
was on board, but he decided to sail
for home.
“The volcano is all right.” argued
the shippers. “Finish your loading.”
“I don't know anything about Mont
Pelee." said the captain, “but if Vesu
vius looked that way I'd get out of Na
ples, and I'm going to get right out of
here."
The shippers threatened him with ar
rest. They sent customs officers to
detain him. but the captain persisted
In leaving. Twenty-four houra later
the shippers and the customs officers
lay dead in the ruins of St. Pierre.
Matrimony.
The primary impulse of all creatures
is possession. It is this that causes a
chicken to tear around the yard with a
piece of meat in its mouth anil all the
other chickens after it. It hasn't time,
bnt the instinct of possession makes
him grab and keep it. The same is
noticeable nrnoitg beasts. They like to
get a great piece of meat in their
mouths aud then growl, it is this in
stinct in man which provokes him to
matrimony. He wants something to
guard and growl over, so he seeks a
hollow tree, a cave or a house and a
wife.—Pittsburgh Press.
Pratty Clever Idas.
“How do you manage to turn away
so many applicants for positions in the
chorus without hurting their feelings?"
“Ob. I tell them they are too pretty:
that the star wants to be the only
handsome woman in the company.”
