A Stone With a History.
A stone with a remarkable his
tory is kept at the British naval
offices in Portsmouth. In the fif
ties of the last century it saved a
vessel of the queen's navy. The
frigate Pique ran ashore on the
Japanese coast, but was refloated iti
what was thought to be an undam
aged condition. It proceeded to
Portsmouth and was docked, when
it was found that the stone had im
bedded itself firmly in the planks
of the ship’s bottom. The stone
prevented leakage, and had it drop
ped from its position during the
homeward run there is little doubt
that the Pique would have been
lost.
Fable of the Ape and the Goat.
A well meaning ape, sitting up in
a cocoanut palm, looked down and
saw his friend, the goat, browsing
on the grass directly below. Said
the ape to himself:
‘T ought to let old Whiskers in
on these good things, and I will.”
Acting upon this generous im
pulse, he leaned over and let drop
an armful of cocoanuts, which,
landing in quick succession, like
sliots from a rapid firing gun, right
in the middle of the goat’s hump
of knowledge, broke his neck.
Moral.—More men are done bv
their friends than undone by their
enemies.—Judge.
No Cause For Alarm.
“I have decided,” said the the
atrical manager, “to give you a trial,
Miss Arlington. Please be ready to
begin rehearsing Monday after
noon.”
“Thank you so much. But before
we go am further I must inform
you that I shall positively refuse to
wear tights or a gown that is out
low in the neck.”
“Oh, that’s all right! Tn the part
that I’m going to give you you will
merely have to stand behind a shod
and help to scream when the cy
clone strikes town.”—Chicago Rec
ord-llerald.

CONSIDERS PARDON
PETITIONS ON ONE DAY.
Atlanta, On., Deo. 20. —If you
have a friend nr a relative nr if
you he a lawyer and have a client,
s von needn’t, to go hanging around
i Governor Brown’s office any day
but Thursday and try to get it.
Because the answer tonne and
; all alike will he “nothing doing."
Apropos of the recent hold stand
lie took against too much executive
1 clemency, the governor has now
roinn out and limited Ilia consider*
alien of all such applications to
st rict ly one day in the week.
The governor appear* to he very
much in earnest about the pardon
I business, as he speaks with more
i vigor than in Ins wont in an intor
i view given out yesterday.
“Too much time is taken from
my work.” Said lie, “by lawyers
| and others coming to this < (lien
I every day worrying me about par-
I dons. Christ mas present* is the
| plea all make about this time
of the year, which is about the
J weakest, 1 must say, that ever
| was. The first thing a pardoned
; .nan would do at Christmas would
|he to go out and tank up on had
| liquor. And another t hing too
j many court official* are putting
1 in their lingers to got people par
■| doned. The idea of such a thing!
A court official sworn to do his
J duty of years and t hen the first
| thing anybody knows tbe here he*
j fore my desk asking for a pardon. ”
The governor wants all the
newspapers in the state to “play
j up” the tact that Thursday i*
; “pardon day.” and that on no
; other day in the week and under
no circumstances will ho consider
hi n appl lea I ion.
I login the new year right,
read your county paper and at
your own expense, and riot, that
