A London literary critic asks why
men laugh more than women. Is not
the task of reforming the world one
too neriouH for laughter, inquire? the
New York World.
To person;- of refinement and deli
racy of feeling the life sentence and
•Ke. the death a*, tu sentence . may seem equally u
, terrible, .., , In the absence of ... the poset

gests the Courier-Journal, but tli^re Is
all the difference in the world between
the two to the average criminal and
especially when the criminal fates a

The Railway Review insists that the
general shortage of cars on the rail
ways is In large measure due to In
adequate terminal facilities. The cars
are tied up at the terminals the great
er part of the time. In other words,
the roads can haul a great deal more
freight than they can expeditiously
handle either at the point of eollec
lion or of unloading, The cars are
kept moving upon the tracks only
about one-tweltth of the time.
Once again, says the Dundee Adver
User, have the scientists proved to bf
wrong. Until recently it was thought
that a child could only live eight or
ten years with what Is known as a
"frog's heart"-—a heart with s.ng.e
ventricle «„ perform .be double pur
pose of propping the pure blood
throughout the system and sending
the impure blood to the lungs for
purification. In tho normal being
these two operations are performed
tor separate ventricle, in the course
of the post-mortem examination of a
man about 3B years did who had suf
fered from heart disease, in one of
the Manchester hospitals, It was
found _ , that , , he . . had lived half the ai
lotted span with a heart in nil Us ite
tails like that of a frog, except that
it was muctr larger. It is said thnt

QUEER DOING $ IN MISSOURI.
A Community Wherein Public Office
When a candidate for a emmij
judgctthlp In St. Clair county, MIkhou
rl, makes the race for office, Uo docs
ao with the understanding that, un
less he would spend tho time in jail,
he must put in his term of office skulk
ing In the,.brush, a fugitive, from jus
tice. Tills is because he will bo lu
contempt of tho United tSaies Court,
For thirty years tho federal tribunal
has boon trying to compel St, Clair
county to poy interest on ImmjB issued
In 1870 to assist In tho building of a
railroad. The road was never Imllt.
nnd the county declines to obey tho
court's mandate, not believing In pay
ing for the goods which were not de
livered. For almost a third of a cen
tuff the county has been In open and
BUccessful rebellion ngahmt the fed
oral authorities. •
Meanwhile the people, through their
officers, are paying the penalty of their
rashness. The county is virtually
bankrupt. Here public office is a spe
cies of martyrdom. Still, there Is no
lack of competent candidates, and even
the county bench, upon which fails the
brunt of the burden, has never been
without its full quota of three Judges.
Without Inquiring openly Into the 0 th
Jeg of the situation, there is n refresh,
ing quality about the unselfishness
with which they obey the will of their
constituents; .right or wrong, they ills
play something which is not far re
moved from heroism.
The position In which St. Clair
county finds Itself is the sequel of a
state law passed Just before the war,
the purpose of which was to encourage
the building of railroads. Under this
law a county court was privileged to
bond Ms county in order to subsidize
a rallrood project, without submit ring
the proposition to a vote of the pro
pie. During the first decade after the
close of the war the courts of one him
dred and seven counties in Missouri
availed themselves of this now prero
gatlve. Of these counties all save
tbtee— Knox, Dallas and St. Clair - lung
since canceled their obligations. Many
of them were swindled by the promo
tors, but the bonds being in the hands
of "innocent purchasers," they paid b«
cause iho federal court compelled tbc m
to pay. Knox county, It is under
stood, is willing to compromise with
the bondholders as soou as certain
pending litigation is closed. As to
Dallas, the debt it owes the bond
holders exceeds by several hundred
thousand dollars the total valuation of
all property, personal and real. In the
county, ami the creditors long ago
dropped all negotiations looking to a
settlement.—From Frank Wlckizer’s
“A County Thirty-one Years In Rebel
Hon" In the Century.

The police inspector of Gotham

“Your salary is ‘230007" gently
sinuated the spokesman of the Graft
Committee.
"Yes, sir.”
"And out of this ybu save

month?"
"That's a twit it."

The last state convention adopted
a plank to defeat this provision to

DEARTH OF EUGIBLES
Among Young Men and Women of
South for Civil Service Jobs Shown
by Commissioner Mcllhenny.
A
Hon. John A. Mcllhenny of Wash
ington, D. C., a member of the civil
service commission, delivered an ad
dress at the rooms of the Young Men's
Christian Association at Atlanta on
Wednesday night on the subject ot
civil service, and Incidentally the dip
lomatic service, and why this charac
ter of employment should appeal to
the yottng white men and women of
the south as a profession.
The fact Is well known that it is
almost imposibie to supply govern
ment office? In this district,
Florida, South Carolina, Mississippi,
Alabama and Tennesee with desirable
and competent help. Notwithstanding
the almost certain appointment and
rapid promotion, it is difficult to get
a sufficient number of eligibles tt>
supply the demand.
It was Mr. Mellhenny’s purpose t>
present the government's service an \
its claims before the citizens of Geot
gla in a new light and show its de
sirability and attractiveness,
Mr. Mcllhenny is a native of Louis
iana, a young man full of force and
life, and has been one of the three
ply civil service commission for a
shade less than two years, and yet,
within that time he has mastered the
Intricacies of that work, has made
himself master of the field—that field
from which all recruits for govern
menta 1,08 tiona are Bfi l f ^ted.

long been a scare all over the country.

school boy or girl could go through it
with ease. Simply to show the yottng

president's little chat with tho vlla
gers. He stepped at once to the plat
form. The youngsters pressed around
in scores, and the president gave them
his immediate attention. Grasping cue
diminutive hand after another, the
president said with unmistakable
pride: "There is certainly uo evidence
of race suicide In Oyster Bay." Then
