PUT “GHOST” ON DEFENSIVE
Irishman Was In Tight Place, but Not
Too Frightened to Be Ready
With Retort.
To Illustrate the ever-ready wit of
the Irish the following story was told
»t a banquet held recently:
An Irishman on his way home at
night was in the habit of cutting I
through a cemetery in order to short
en the distance. A group of friends
evolved a scheme to have some fun at
his expense. Accordingly they found
* sunken grave across which his path
lay, dug it out and covered it with
hoards in such a manner that he must
fall into the yawning cavity.
The Irishman came along and
everything happened as per schedule.
While he was still squirming about in
the bottom of the hole, striving to ex
tricate himself, three or four of his
ffrtends, attired in white sheets and
tether ghostly accoutrements, sudden
.ly made their appearance. Pat was
frightened out of his wits and almost
(.tainted when one of them said:
' 3 TWat are you doing in my grave?”
'The tone was sepulchral. It made
the Irishman’s hair stand almost on
end, but he could not forego a witty
retort.
“Faith, and what are you doing out
of it?” he asked.
Possibly Willing to Assist at It.
At a little party John T. McCutch
eon consented to do a little impromp
tu chalk talking, with the presiden
tial possibilities for his subject. Mc-
Cutcheon had made several hits. One
of the party, chuckling, leaned over
to another, a Democrat. “Pretty
good, Isn’t it?” he asked. “What do
you think of his execution?”
“I think it would be a darned good
thing.” replied the Democrat
Most of ’Em Do.
"You certainly started out with fine
prospects. Your credit was good ev
erywhere in town.”
“That’s why I failed.”
Poverty does not destroy virtue, nor
does wealth bestow it. —Yrlarte.

OLD PEMLONI
How Australian Settlements
Have Been Transformed.
Crime’s Carnival Ended —Descendants
of English Malefactor* Thrifty
and Law-Abiding and Their
Origin Forgotten.
Melbourne, Australia. —The position
which the Australasian colonies are
gaining in the world, particularly
since their federation on the plan of
the United States, has attracted the
attention of the world to them and re
called the singular and striking fact
that great penal colonies, where at
one time disorder and crime prevailed,
have become orderly and strictly self
governing communities.
The story of the penal settlements
of Australia and Tasmania, and the
carnival of cruelty and of crime that
attended the convict system, is most
remarkable in the light of subsequent
events. The crimes for which con
victs were sent from England to
Botany bay'and Van Diemen's land
were in great part abominable, and
the expiation was certainly terrible.
The convicts were put at work in
the broiling Australian sun. Often
they worked in chains, and the chains
were not counted as diminishing their
capacity for hard labor. Even the
best conducted of them were let out
to farmers and the proprietors of
sheep ranges. If these farmers hap
pened to be humane, the convict might
be reasonably happy. But in many
cases the farmer regarded his con
vict helper as a slave, as indeed he
was, and a beast of burden, to be used
as cruelly as possible.
The result was that as many of the
convicts as could do so escaped to the
woods and became “bushrangers” or
bandits. They preyed on the natives
and on the settlers, committing rob
beries that were not infrequently at
tended with murder.
They became such a terror to the
peaceful settlers that when Mike
Howe proposed a peace, in which he
was to be “treated as a gentleman,”
they were very glad to make the ar
rangement. But the governor-general
at Sydney refused to give his sanc
tion to the pact, and Howe took to the
bush again. He was pursued by
troops, and in a dreadful hand to
hand conflict was overcome and be
headed by a gigantic soldier known as
“Big Bill.”
How'e’s followers continued the war
relentlessly, but at last there came a
change. The convicts tired of bush
ranging and little by little settled
down to good conduct. The system of
penal settlements was abolished. No
more convicts came out from England.
Old Windmill is Destroyed
it
After Doing Service Nearly 150 Years
at Orton, London, It Is Demol
ished by Dynamite.
London—A 150-year-old windmill,
which formed a prominent landmark
at Orton, Waterville, near Peterbor
ough, has been blown up by dynamite.
The windmill, which stood as steady
as the day when it was completed,
was some years ago fitted with an al
ternate steam plant. But the tendency
of the times has been toward the ex
tinction of small country mills. For
some time it had been without a mil
ler. Recently it had become the re
sort on Sundays of youthful gamblers.
The authorities of Pembroke college,
Cambridge, to whom it belonged, had
received so many complaints that they
decided to have it destroyed. Ten
pounds of dynamite were distributed
round the base of the mill, the sails
of which had been removed. The
machinery, though rusty, was still
standing. A time fuse was lighted;
TO WED LEAP YEAR OR NEVER
Taft’s Aid, Sailing, Declares Life« ar d
Be Lonely and Miserable Linley (
Some Girl Proposes.
New York.—“ Don’t forget thatQ^e
got my flag up and if I miss marriage
this leap year, I shall be doomed to
a bachelor life and misery forever.”
This is the parting hint to the girls
by Maj. Archibald Butt, military aid
to President Taft. He sailed for the
Mediterranean and will be absent six
weeks. “I’m not engaged,” he said.
“They’ve always got me engaged to
somebody whenever I leave Washing
ton. But I shall not have much trou
ble In denying the last report, as Miss
Dorothy Williams is already very
busy in denying it.
“The man who does win her will be
fortunate, as she is a most charming
young woman, and it is curious that
my name should have been coupled
with hers instead of with some one I
know better.
“Every girl I meet before 1913 I
shall look upon as a possible wife, so
if I do get married don’t be surprised.
I need this little vacation, as I've lost
20 pounds in the last year and the
rest will do me good.”
Major Butt was accompanied by his
friend, F. D. Millet, head of the Amer
ican Academy of Art in Rome, direc
tor of the fine arts commission in
Washington and of the Metropolitan
Museum of Art.

UNCLE SAM ADOPTS “BABY”
Tiny Mail Sack Originating in Chi

Chicago, Ill.—Chicago has a new
“baby.” It was born in the postoffice
and has been adopted by Uncle Sam.
It weighs only one pound, but as a
typical Chicago “doer” It Is as big as
a mastodon. Already it has saved
its great foster parents a half mil

month old.
The new creation is a small mail

Paris.—“We drink too often,” was
the burden of a lecture given before
the Academy of Science this week by
Dr. Paul Fabre, which has attracted
a good deal of attention.
Dr. Fabre declares the human body
really requires extremely little li
quid, except in cases of low diet or
great muscular exertion, and he in
veighs against the array of glasses
of different shapes and sixes placed
before each guest at dinner as a relic
of barbarism.
It Is easy and vastly better for the
health, he says, to drink nothing at
meals, and he points to the fact that
stout persons undergoing obesity
treatment are able to do this, as evi
dence of the truth of his contention.

BUYS $5,000 PAINTING FOR $8
Lost Masterpiece Is Bought by Wom
an In Richmond, Va., From An

Richmond, Va. —Art connoisseurs of
Richmond were In a state of rhapsody
when it was discovered that a genuine
Sully painting—a life size portrait of
an infant—had been purchased by
Mrs. John Skelton Williams at a local
antique shop.
The purchaser paid eight dollars for
the picture and a handsome frame. It
is generally conceded that the find Is
easily worth five thousand dollars.
Mrs. Williams turned It over to a lo

of 1851 upon the back of the canvas,
also the painter’s initials, "T. R.”

A WARNIN6 TO MANY.
Some Interesting Facts Regarding
Health Statistics.
Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condi
tion of the kidneys.
The physician In nearly all cases of
serious illness, makes a chemical anal
ysis of the patient’s urine. He knows
that unless the kidneys are doing
their work properly, the other organs
cannot be brought back to health and
strength. -
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused In any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Bright’s Disease, which Is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths In 1910, In the state of New
York alone. Therefore, it behooves us
to pay more attention to the health of
these most important organs.
An Ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as a kidney
remedy Is Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root,
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy.
The mild and healing Influence of
this preparation Is soon realized. It
stands the highest for its remarkable
record of cures.
If you feel that your kidneys require
attention, and wish a sample bottle,
write to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingham

Happiness Postponed.
An awkward predicament In which
a sailor bridegroom and his bride were
placed In St. Mary Major’s church, Ex
eter, Devonshire, England, recently,
caused the postponement of their wed
ding. The banns had been duly called
at the church, but when the parties
presented themselves at the altar the
bridegroom, who had been recently
paid off from his ship at Portsmouth,
was unable to produce the necessary
permission from his commander. The
bride swooned, and eventually re
turned home, while the bridegroom
left for Plymouth to get the required
document.
