14 APPLEBUTTER CAT STORIES. By John Walker Harrington. Copyright. 1900, by McClure. Phillips & Cos. YELLOW LION AND HEDGEHOGS SCRIBBLING. Hedgehog wu always dibbling. He sat at hts dealt In his house In the woods and wrote so much thst he hardly stopped to eat his meals. He had quills stuck be hind his ears, end whenever he thought of anything which would make any of the beasts angry, espeolally Yellow Lon, hs wrote It down on a piece of biroh bark. F*or Ink he used ppkeberry Jules. Yellow Lion awoke one morning and found a sign tacked to the door of his house by one of Hedgehog’s quills. On the sign wae written: "Lon. you are a big. yellow animal.” "Who wrote that?" roared Yellow Lion. ’’l am no more of an animal than he Is." Everybody knows that Yellow Lon Is very proud, for he la the king of beasts. So Yellow Lion went out and sharpened his claws on the trunk of a tree and start ed to get revenge for the name that he had been called. He had not gone very far before he saw another piece of bark tacked up to a tree by one of Hedgehog's quills. On it was written: "Lions, rake, notice. The quill Is mightier than the claw." Yellow Lion picked off the sign and shook It between his paws. "The idea,” he said. "This Is an Insult. Just let me find out who wrote that and there will be an awful time In this jungle ” He had only gone half a mile before he met Big Elephant. "Elephant,” he roared; "whose writing is this?” Big Elephant put on his glasses and picked up the piece of bark and looked at It very carefully. "Sometimes,” he said, “I write In my sleep. You know, I used to write visiting cards with my feet, and since I stand up when I am asleep maybe I write a little without knowing it. I don’t remember this.” “You are a foolish old elephant,” roared Yellow Lion, and he bounded away so an grily that he could hardly see. He almost ran into Striped Tiger. "Pardon roe." said Yellow Lion, for he had a great respect for Striped Tiger. "Hedgehog.” said yellow Hon, "you have been calling me names. "Don’t mention It," answered Striped Tiger, showing his whllo teeth. "Whet's this I hear about your mane?" "Name,” replied Yellow Lion. "O, well, It’s much the same," purred Striped Tiger. "The same letters. You come with me and I’ll show you some thing that will make you feel very glad." Striped Tiger winked at Big Elephant, who had Just come up. and all three wadted through the Jungle. Striped Tiger led Yellow Lion to a large rook, on which was written: "He has a name whloh Is rnaty. He needs a haircut." "This Is too much," roarad Yellow Lion, "Ha! ha!” laughed somebody way up In the trees. Yellow Lion looked up and saw Little Monkey swinging along the tree tops by his tall. Little Monkey had a cap on bis head and a piers of btrch bark and quill under his arm. Come down!” roared Yellow Lion. He talked so loud that Littla Monkey wot scared, and Ist go hla tall and tell to the ground. Yellow Lion picked him tip and shook him. On the piece of bark whloh Little Monkey had was writ ton, "A poor Innocent gout was killed. Ask Yellow LIool" "Mow I have you!” snarled Yellow Lion. ‘Til teach you to write such thugs and put them up on trees." t^^S ugr 2 - ' JgL fit Yellow lion meets with hht first insult from hedgehog. "Please, I'm only a messenger boy," whimpered Little Monkey. "Hedgehog vitote It." "I'll not eat you up!" roared Yellow Lion. "If you will take me to your mas ter." 8o Little Monkey led Yellow Lion to Hedgehog's house. Yellow Ldon went rtg:ht into the room where Hedgehog was wnung- at his d*ek. •Hedgehog.” said Yellow Lion, “you have been calling me names. You wrote that I had a mane—” "I thought ihat you had,** answered Hedgehog, in a meek little voire. He was sitting on a barrel before hi* desk, and kept on writing as hard as he oould He had sheets of bark all around him. and his hands and face were all over rokeberry ink. •‘That was all rusty. It is false,” con tinued Yellow Liorv "Your name looks as though it were real,” replied Hedgehog. “ You paid I ought to have a hair-cut.” added Yellow Lion. 'Which one of your hairs,” sighed Hedgehog "Hedgehog.” roared Yellow Lion, “your time has come. You miserable lit tle — 'What did you say?” asked Hedge hog '1 am h*rd of hearing.” '•Quill driver,” Yellow Lion With that Hedg h o.ed the hack of his nei k ir> such a w y ha U the qull's which were sticking 1 e i; and his ears came out like arrbws shot fiom he bow. They stuck in the face of Yellow Lion and made him jump and squ a! and beg for mercy. Yellow Lion run out of the place with his paws all over his fare and the tears running down his checks. ”1 may be o qutlldriver.* said Hedge hog. as he dipped a quill in rokeberi y juice, “but when I am writing I cannot afford to be annoyed by big. yellow ani mals.” A JUSTIFIABLE MURDER. .Story of the Overland Express. By Cloudesley Jchns. The kill ng of a human being In self defense is not mu and r; it is Juslflable homicide Unintentional killlrg resulting from carelessnes* is manslaughter; a homicide committed in a moment of an ger is also usually classed as manslaugh ter. Properly speaking, murder is the premeditated and deliberate killing of one or more human beings by some per son who m at the time, responsible for his actions—i e. sane The penalty fixed by law is death, or imp Lonment for life Law recognizes no 6uch thing as Justifiable murder. Rimer Wore was not threatened; he was attacked; his life was not Jeopardized by the man he killed, nor did he feel any animosity toward him. The killing was deliberate, and promedi'at.d, though on ly for a few eoconds. The Jury before which the care was tried, had no authority to Judge whether the premeditated killing of an unoffend ing man could be Justifiable or not; the Jurymen’* duty was simply to decide whether or ro Elmer Ware was guilty of the crime of murder as charged; but the vordlnt rendered was “Not guilty.” It was Justice versus Law. Through a certain mountainous region in the West runs a branch line cf a well known railroad. At one end of the branch is a city of tome 20.'0) Inhabi tants. and at the other end the junction with the main line. For fifty miles from the Junction the branch is all curves, grades, tunnels and bridges, and then comes twelve miles rf nearly straight track, laid on a gradual downward slope. At the beginning of the slope there Is a long curve; and sycamore trees grow thickly on both sides of the track. A few hundred yards beyond the grove of sycamores there la a short spur, oh which six or seven flat ears can stand at a time. A long shed stands near, and blocks of brownetone ere scatter.d about. Both shed and spur are on the wrong aide of Ihe truck, as the quarries, three miles away, from which the rock Is haul ed, sre or? the opposite side; this Is be came the ground, h'ltlg a llttl* higher on the east oMe, rroutre? less tilling In for the sp.rr. The trains on the branch road consisted THE MOKNING NEWS: SUNDAY. AUGUST 19, 1900. of two coaches, a baggage, mail and ex press car. all in one, and an eight-wheel engine built for speed. South bound, these trains whizzed passed the stone cutter's shed at mile* an hour for that piece of afforded an opportunity to make up time. The short train* never lost lime themselves—barring accidents—but they had to wait at the junction for the ar rival of the overland mail, which was of ten late. Besides the’ two passenger trains—north bound and south bound—there was a freight every day; going up one day. and down the next. The north bound passen ger passed the stone-ship ping *pur at 8 in the morning, and always on time to the minut ; but the soiHh bound train, due at 3:50 in the afternoon, was often a* much as an hour late. As she whistled for the crossing only on leaving the sycamore grove, it would not give the rock haulers sufficient notice if they happened 4o be crossing at the time; and for This reason the teamster who reached the crossing after the “passen ger’’ was due. would stop his team and listen for the train. One evening the overland mail was more than two hours late a4 the junction; and this was the primary indirect cause of Hichard Young’s death. The second cause was the teams ter* s carelessness in taking too much for granted, and his lack of of mind at the Inst moment; the third cause was the heroism and coolness, under the most frightful strain, of Engi neer Ware. Young reached the crossing late that evening He was in a hurry to get hie wagon to the shed, so that he could un hitch. and go home. It was more than two hours after train time, and the train had never been so late, so Young did not leave his wagon, as usual, and walk for ward to listen at the track. Young’s wagon—weighing two tons it self—was loaded with seven tons of rock. The six horse* pulled it but slowly along the level road, and when they came to the slight rise to the crossing, they seemed hardly to crawl. To lash the horses at such a time is wo-r*e than useless, for then they will plunge wildly, while the wagon stops dead; only a steady pull will keep it moving. When Young's leaders were on the track, nis ear caught the sound of the singing of the rails. It fascinated him, and caus ed a sort of paralysis to seize upon his ev ery muscle; even his brain was numb; but he was acutely conscious of one thing through it oil—the fiendish humming of the steel rails. Something of the numbness left the teamster's limbs; he alternately tugged at the lines, and lashed the wheelers; this delayed his progress. Suddenly the rails glowed with yellow light In the gathering dusk, and the en gine whistled for the crossing. Young be came motionless again, and sat staring at the gleaming lines. The wheelers were on the (rack, and the front of the wagon was over the first rail. There came, a single sharp blast from the whistle; it was the first note of "down brakes,” but the signal tvas never finish ed. The engine gave a great leap for ward, crashed into the front end of the wagon, now half way across, and hurled It back. The wheelers were crushed to pulp, and the pointers .lraeged againet the side of the engine and killed, while the leaders, tom loose dashed snorting Into the gloom. The train seemed hardly to have struck, ere It dlsappeaied, rocking and plunging. Into the distance. Under the wreckage of his wagon, and Its load of rock, lay Dick Young, team ster, dead. *•••• Public Indignation ran high In Black county, ngalnst Engineer Ware. It was not so much that he hud killed a man; other engineers had done such things, and it might have been unavoidable; but Ware had not made the slightest effort to save Young's life; he had not reversed, or call ed for brakes; on the contrary, he had opened the throttle wide and the engine was going at such R speed that It could not be stopped till it had left the shat tered wagon nearly a mile behind. That the wagon must have been struck in any case, nil were agreed; hut if Ware had reversed his engine Young might have Jumped in time to save his life. Those who felt inclined to seek excuses for the engineer advanced the theory that he had been excited, ond did not know what he was doing; but all agreed that he should be punished—that Is. all but the railroad men; they knew that It was a ease of premeditated and deliberate kill ing; and they also knew that Engineer Ware had done a glorious deed, and not for gain or fame. The engineer was charged by the cor oner's jury, at first, with manslaughter; hut it transpired that he had made a statement admitting that he had expect ed to kill the teamster, and he was In dieted for murder. Acting on his lawyer's Instruction, he declined to give his rea sons for killing Young. The court nom was crowded on the day of the trial, and full of an air of sup pressed excitement. The first witnesses heard were two stone cutters who had been at the spur. Their evidence showed that no effort had been made to slow down—that the train was going much faster when the engine struck the wagon than when it first appeared around the curve. The defense waived the right of cross-examination, and Ihe testimony of those witnesses stood. "Poor devil I Knows he's gone!" "Poor felloV' He take sit hard!" Such were the Whispered remarks In the court room, when the prisoner took the stand to speak In hoe own defense. His ghestly face, elo quent In Its agony, gained him much sym pathy. He began excitedly: "I had to do it." Then, recovering him self. he continued; "When l saw the wagon first I started to call for brakes, but I Instantly saw that they would be of no use, and decided to do what I could with th<* lever. I was about to reverse when It flashed upon me that the wagon was loaded with rock— thst It would be straight across the track when I struck It. If 1 triad to alow down." He had been speaking excitedly, but now I hie voice fell. I "I had two coaches and tha mall and baggage car; the lightest car was between the other two, and in that one were more than thirty people; to strike that load of rock was to telescope that middle car”— His voice had risen, he spoke wildly;— "yes, and to crush it like an eggshell, and everything in it." "What could I do? I threw the lever over; w plunged forward; I killed that man. Oh, my God! I didn’t want to kill him!” Ware paused, with bis arms stretched out as if in appeal to those before him, pleading with thenr to tell him if he had done wrong to sacrifice a human life; and the answer came in a choking cheer. Now followed expert testimony to prove that reversing would have telescoped the car. "His own life was in danger.” said the counsel for the defense. "A man has the “Now I have you,” snarled yellow lion. “I’ll teach you to write such things and put them up on trees. right to protect his life.” Ware made a deprecatory gesture, The lawyer contin ued: "Do you think a man can delight In kill ing people for whom he has no dislike? Eook at him! He has saved many lives by his unselfish devotion, yet the memory of the life he was forced to take has preyed upon him till he Is a wreck. The people In that car trusted themselves to his care; would you have him kill them all? No; his first duty was to them, and he saved them at a cost of more than life.” The district attorney did his duly In spite of the angry muttering in the court room. He pointed out the fact that the teamster was not in any way threatening the engineer, and that the latter had kill ed him deliberately. He did his best, but lie knew the case for the people was lost. The presiding judge summed up the case on legal grounds, giving no indication of his opinion. Perhaps he knew there was no need. The Jury was out five minutes, and found a verdict; "Not guilty.” OLD LADIES' PARADISE. Age Carries With It Many Privileges In Austria and In China Every Year Adds to the Dignity of a Widow. According to the laws of good society !n Vhlna, young widows should not re marry. Widowhood Is, therefore? held in highest esteem, and the older the wid ow, the more agreeable her position be comes. Should she rbach 50 years, she may, by applying to the Emperor, get a sum of money with which to buy a tablet, on which her virtues are named, the tab let being placed over the door at the principal entrance to her house. Contrary to the practice that prevails In other countries, the deference shown to women in Austria increases with age. No Austrian would ever dream of receiv ing a lady's extended hand without bow ing to kiss it. Children, even when The quills stuck IrTthe face of yellow lion him Jump and squeal and beg for mercy. grown, always touch the hands of their parents with their lips before venturing to raise their faces for a kiss. Olrls and voung married women, no matter how lofty their station, do not consider it be neath their dignity to kiss the hands of ladles who have attained a certain age. Austria, indeed. Is the paradise of old la dles. The men are also extremely cour teous, nee only to ladles, but to each other. The Arabs show their friendliness when meeting by shaking hands six or eight times. Arabs of rank go beyond this and embrace each Ollier several times. The soelal etiquette, of the desert, or among (he Arahs. is a factor In life to be consld ered seriously if one wishes to live among them without friction. Thus, no greater Insult can be offered to an Arab thnn a friendly Inquiry as to the welfare of his wife, to us a natural civility, but to him a gross lni|>etdnence, bltlerly resented. Sons will never sit at meat with their fathers in the presence of a guest, but will wait upon both until the father, ris ing. allows them the opportunity of break ing bread with their visitor. A Turk always stands in the presence of his mother until Invited to sit down, a compliment he pays to no one else. The Moor pays great respect to Ms el dors. and to see two elderly, dignified Moors solute is a pretty sight. With measured pace, the eyes of each fixed on those of the other, they npproa<-h with a slight Inclination, holding Ihe right hand slightly advanced. They press their fin ger tips together, snd begin a volley of prescribed salutations, greetings and in quiries. hardly pausing to inert replies, and ejaculating frequently, “God be prais ed." Then each presses the finger tips which have been honored by contact with those of his friend against hi* lips, and then upon his heart, as he raises his head, and redoubles his salutations. The old custom of falling on one another’s necks is still in vogue between friends long sep arated. Inferiors saluting superiors usu ally kiss the hand, shoulder, top of tur ban, or feet, or the knee or stirrup of a horseman, according to the terms on which they approach. In the extremity of humility, the very feet of one’s horse are embraced. When n Moslem meets a European ac companied by a Moor, though the latter bA the servant, he rot infreouently ig nores the presence of the foreigner, and offers the salutations to his co-rellgionist only; bur If he passes a party of Moors, Jews or Christians, he exclaims: ’’Peace be on the people of I'sla'm.” The way to speed the parting guest Is to exclaim, “God give thee peace.” To those whose presence has never been desired, it is usual to exclaim in tones sufficiently ex plicit, "God protect thee.” "Be welcome, at home, and at ease,” Is the welcome. Courteous interrogatories fall thick and fast. "How art thou? Thy house?”—the nearest approach permitted to inquiry af ter a man's wife. SPANKING CURES A DUMB GIRL. Power of Speech Recovered Dnring tle Pnn ishment. From the Philadelphia Record. Lancaster, Ky., Aug. 9.—While her mother was giving her a severe whipping here to-day, Hanna Hemphill, a deaf mute, aged 16 years, suddenly recovered her power of speech and began to scream eo lustily that she drew a crowd. The spanking was promptly discon tinued, and the girl continued to talk in a perfectly Intelligible manner. ANTIQUES OF THE CONSERVATORY. They Are the Dwarfed Tree# of China and Japan. New York, Aug. 17. It was not so long ago that the possession of a dwarfed Ja panese tree gave great distinction to its owner and very big sums were paid for the few specimens that came to this coun try. To-day in a popular New Y’ork hotel the head waiter does a thriving business selling these miniature growths at a few dollars each. He uses them as center pieces for the tables, tags them In de partment store style with the prices clear ly marked, and finds ready purchasers In the big traveling public that patronizes the house. The quick popularity achieved by these charming little trees has so stimulated their cultivation and importation that practically any one, can own one now. Gardners of the Orient can supply them at short notice, unless the registered va riety is required. These latter are the result of time, and ennnot be forced like the common dwarf that sells for a few dollars. Good sums are still paid for a registered tree in a registered pot. chief. !y, of course, for the value of the two ar ticles. hut partly also for the discriminat ing taste in knowing how to combine por celain and foliage to advantage. 1 a , , —Queen Victoria is said to be looking in better health recently. The last time she appeared In public she had more color in her face, and had lost that ashen look so noticeable last year. She had, with kind ly forethought, taken off the huge specta cles she has worn out of doors of late years. Her face looked exceedingly sad, and as she drove by she bowed slightly but continuously In answer to the greetings of her people. It is curious to note that of late years people have not cheered much as the Queen drives by. There seems to be a feeling that too much noise would be disrespectful to Ihe aged sovereign. Men wave their hats nnd women their handker chiefs, but all are too intent on "seeing the Queen" to cheer, except on occasions of great public excitement. Jos. A. Magnus & Cos., CISCIVNATI, O.
