‘Red Tape and Matrimony. ‘Some of the reasons why a French- man may not marry are given by a <orrespondent of a Paris newspaper. He has been trying to get married for three years and has not yet succeeded. French marriage law is a tricky thing to deal with. 1f the prospective bride- groom has not lived more than six months at his address at the time of the marriage ke must get a certifi signed by the landlord and concierge ©f every house where he has lived pre- viously till he gets back to one where he did live for six months. Birth cer- tificates are required and the written wconsent of parents. As no paper must bear a date” more than two months old. it often happens that the marriage must be postponed to get the papers renewed. The man who had been foiled for three years once succeeded in making all his pa- pers correct, when he was called up for his periodical term of military service, and this threw his papers our of date. Another time he arrived before the mayor with his bride. but the cere- mony was not performed, as a certif- icate of his first wife’s death was not forthcoming. Fascination of the Thira Rail. “You can talk all you want about the way some people want to jump off tall buildings. but the men who walk the elmate«\ tracks can sympathize with them,” said a man the other day whose business it is to work along the elevated railroad lines and see that everything is in good condition. “Trackwalkers often have the same impulse to step on the third rail that climbers have to jump. You walk along and see that shining rod of steel and watch the sunlight glisten on it. apd then the thought comes to you, “If I step on that it will kill me,” and then you wonder how it would feel to just put your toe on it. Of course a fellow shakes 1hose ideas off his mind, vut they keep coming back, and I have known more than one man who has quit his job because he was afraid that he couldn't fight off much longer the impulse to stand on the track and put the other foot on the third rail, and when [ hear of a trackwalker being killed by the third rail I won- der if the fascination of the third rail got the better of him.”—New York Sun.

Effect on Roosevelt, ONE VICTIM IN ASYLUM|STATEMENT FROM™ TRAIN Alleged to Have Been “Railroaded” Into Institution by the Accused Men, Two of Whom Are Members of the Insanity Board—Other Settiers and | Their Families Driven Away by Force and Their Homes Destroyed. Omaha, Nov. 4.—Indictments re- turned by the federal grand jury Wednesday against nine ranchers of Western Nebraska have been made public. The indictments charge con- spiracy to drive from their claims at the points of guns homesteaders who took sections of semi-arid land under the Kinkaid homestead law by the defendants. Those indicted are Perry S. Yeast of Hyannis, Neb.; his son, Frank W. Yeast; Leslie E. Ballinger, M. C. Hubbel, Emil Anderson, Will- mot Z. Emerson, Harry Sutton, Boone B. Hawthorne ané Dr. Harry H. Huff. Dr. Huft, a prominent physician, and Sutton, county attorney of Garden county, are members of the insanity board. Yeast, one of the largest ranchers in the state, was convicted two years ago of fraudulently securing title to homestead land and paid a fine and served a jail sentence. There are four counts in the indict- ments and the specific overt acts men- tioned indicate an unusual frontier condition. One Sent to Insane Asylum. According to the charges made in the indictment Yeast and his asso- ciates carried thelr efforts so far as to obtain the incerceration in the insane asylum at Hastings, Neb., of one of their alleged victims. When the Kinkaid homestead law was passed many persons went to Grant, Banner, Garden, Charry and other Western Nebraska counties and took up quarter sections. The land is in the sand hills country, but contains many fertile valleys. Several big ranchers, among them Yeast and his associates, have heretofore depended on this valley land for their hay for winter feeding, and the settling of homesteaders was resented. The indictment charges that a band of about thirty persons, headed by Yeast, went to the homes of many of these homesteaders, among them Charles J. Davasher, George. Carpen- ter, Golba D. Graves, George Babcock, Henry S. Coulson and others, and by intimidation and threats of taking their lives and those of their families forced them to leave their claims. Alleged High Handed Deeds. The specific case of Davasher is mentioned in detail. It is charged that Yeast and the other defendants, accompanied by a band of cowboys, visited Davasher’s home and after threatening himself and family with death if they did not leave the coun- try destroyed his home, broke up his machinery, cut his harness to pieces and in other ways mistreated him. Later, according to the indictment, Yeast conspired with members of the county insanity board and secured Davasher’s incarceration in the asy- lum. This latter act, according to the in- dictment, was committed in a high handed manner. The insanity com- missioners, it is alleged, went through a mock examination, declared Dava- sher insane and issued a warrant for his arrest. This was served on the spot and within an hour he was rushed off to the asylum without being per- mitted to have the advice of counsel. Many thousand acres of grazing land are contained in the tracts in question.

While Speeding Westward Colone‘l Replies to Speech of Democratic Candidate for Governor of New York—Again Scores the Decision of Judge Baldwin of Connecticut, the Democratic Standard Bearer. Alliance, O., Nov. 4.—Theodore Roosevelt, en route to Chicago, gave out a statement on the train in reply to a speech made by John A. Dix, Democratic candidate for governor of New York, in New York city. Mr. Roosevelt said: “Mr. Dix becomes exceedingly val- orous the moment I leave the state. I'll answer him when I get back. I call the attention of all wageworkers to the fact that, having in effect de- fended the bakeshop decision, which forbade New York state to interfere to prevent workingmen laboring an excessive number of hours under un- hygienic conditions, he now, in effect, defends a decision declaring working- men’s compensation also unconstitu- tional. “It is, of course, mere nonsense for Mr. Dix to assert he is for the prin- ciple either of limiting excessive hours of labor under unhealthful conditions or of establishing the right of the workman to be compensated for the loss of life or limb when working at their trades, for he is now explicitly upholding the judges who have de- cided against these principles and is condemning the more numerous judges who have taken the opposite view and have upheld the rights of the laboring man instead of adhering to outworn and purely technical legal doctrines which in their working do the workingman cruel wrong and in- justice. “If Mr. Dix is right in his cham- pionship of Judge Baldwin’s decision and if Judge Baldwin was right in that decision then it is unconstitu- tional for the nation and the states to grant any real relief to the workmen in the shape of compensation acts. The decision of Judge Baldwin which Mr. Dix upholds will not, I am confi- dent, prove to be the law of the land either in nation or state, but to up- hold it is entirely incompatible with any man as candidate saying that hé is in favor of any real or effective workmen'’s compensation act.” KNOX MAKES SPEECH IN OHIO Declares Taft's Record Is the Issue in That State. Columbus, O., Nov. 4.—Declaring that the issue of the political cam- paign in Ohio is President Taft and his administration, proclaiming the Payne-Aldrich tariff law “the broadest measure of practical reciprocity” ever | enacted and affirming that recent pro- gressive legislation has done more to confirm the Republican party as “a party of constructive progress than any body of substantive law since Abraham Lincoln’s death,” Secretary of State Philander C. Knox appealed to the Republicans of Ohio to endorse the achievements of their native son when they go to the polls next Tues- day.

So strict were the old Romans in this respect that a certain Ignatius Mer- curius is said to have slain his wife because he caught her at the wine cask—a punishment which was not deemed excessive by Romulus, who ab- solved the husband of the crime of murder. Another Roman lady who un- der the pretense of taking a little wine for her stomach’s sake and frequent | infirmities indulged somewhat too free- ly was mulcted to the full amount of her dowry. Among the Honors. One of the last times that Bishop Burgess of Long Island dined out was at the Press club, where fthe waiters are all negroes. The head waiter bowed Bishop Burgess and his host profusely to their places. *This way, adm’ral,” said he. “Tek this table. You get a bettah view of the bharbor heah, ad- m’ral.” Burgess, smiling. “My mistek, waiter. time I was er talkin' to a military man. You like dis table, colonel?” “I am not a colonel,” said Bishop Burgess, smiling more broadly. “Iam a bishop.” “To be shuah, suh,” said the head waiter. “To-o be shuah!

The lesson and significance of an experience incorporated by Mr. Mau- rvice Baring in his book, “Russian Es- says and Stories,” are undoubtedly the mistake of underrating one's wares. One is likely to be taken at one’s word. Once when Mr. Baring was competing ir a civil service examina- tion and appeared as a candidate in the German viva voce the German ex- aminer asked him if he could speak German. “Yes, a little,”” he answered modest- ly. “Oh,” said the examiner, “I will then wish you good morning. I will no doubt have the pleasure of seeing you again the next time there is an examination.” The next time there was an exami- nation Mr. Baring presented himself again. The German examiner, who happened to be a different man, asked Mr. Baring if he could speak German. He replied: “Yes, I speak it as well as Bismarck spoke it, and my written style com- bines the solidity of Lessing's, the limpidity of Goethe’s and the lightness doubt observed from my written pa- Then I need not trouble you any further,” said the examiner. That time Mr. Baring got full marks. A Camel’'s Stomach.

Parchment is the skin of sneep or other animals prepared in sheets to render them fit for being written upon. The heavier parchment. used for drum- heads, is made from the skins of ass- es, older calves, wolves and goats. All these are similarly prepared. The skin, being freed from the hair, is placed in a lime pit to cleanse it from fat. The pelt is then stretched upon a frame, care being taken that the sur- face is free from wrinkles. The flesh is pared .off with a circular knife, after which it is moistened, and whiting spread over it. Then the workman, with a large pumice stone, rubs the skin. He next goes over it with an iron instrument and rubs it carefully with pumice stone without chalk. Fi- pally the skin is gradually dried, tight- ening being occasionally required. A Fast Express. The slow train is still the target for the shafts of the humorist. Recently an English wag sent the following let- ter to the editor of his local paper: “Sir, is there no way to put a stop to begging along the line of the railway? For instance, yesterday an aged men- Qicant with a wooden leg kept pace with the afternoon express all the way from Blankton to Spaceley and an- noyed the passengers exceedingly, go- ing from one open window to another with his importuneate solicitations.” Prince Henry, the Navigator, * The kingdom of “Portugal counted in its royal ho@se one of the men who hold first fink in scientific attain- ment and piactical application He wag the son of John I. of Portugal and Queen Philippa (who was an Eng- lish princess); he spent his life in sending out ships on voyages of dis- covéry, and it was fhrough this Prince Hent¥, led “the Navigater,” that Columbiié got his idea of seeking for th Our friendsips burfy {o short and poor couclusions becaus¢ Wwe have made them a. testure of Wit and’ dreams. instead of the tough fiber &f the humat.heart. - The lnws'sf\frlefld; ship are great, austere and eternal—of one web with .the laws of morals and of nature.—Goethe, L Nature’s Ways.

A Bit Too Clever. Holman Hunt used to tell how a car- penter saved one of his best known pictures from a serious error. The man was doing some odd jobs about the house and was found frowning at ¢The Shadow of the Cross” in the studio—the picture in which Christ, who has been sawing a plank in the workshop, ‘rises to his full height and stretches, bis shadow forming a cruci- fix. “Well?” asked the artist interroga- tively. but a trifle nettled. “Any one that can saw wood with- out making any sawdust is a sight clever'n any I ever seed,” answer.
