Carried Out His Contract. Topeka Mail and Breeze. In the early days in Western Kan- sas when the practice of law was ac- companied by ways that were dark and tricks that were vain, a promi- nent attorney was called on to de- fend a man who was accused of horse stealing. The man was a foreigner and the horse had been found in his possession without his being able to explain satisfactorily how it came to be there, It looked to the attorney asif his client was strictly upagainst it and the only way to keep him out of the penitentiary was to hang the jury. There was one man on the jury who was well known to the at- torney for the defense as a man who wouldn't seriously object to being tampered with. He pot a chance to speak to this juror before the taking ofthe testimony commenced and pro- posed to pay him $15 if he would hang the jury. The juryman agreed that he would, if necessary, hang that jury until the surface of fiery lake was suitable for skating pur- poses and the trial commenced. To the surprise of the attorney for the defense the case against his client was much weaker than he supposed it would be and he began to enter- tain strong hopes for an acquittal. The jury filed out and began deliber- ating. They wrestled with the case night and all the next day and finally red-eyed and haggard from loss of sleep they filed into the court room and announced that it was im- possible for them to agree and were discharged. As soon as they had heen let loose the juror who had made the agreement hunted up the attorney and got his cash. “Well,” he said as he shoved the fifteen down into his pocket, “I hung ’er all right. but I had time doin’ it. Why do you know there was ‘leven uv them —— —— fools that wanted to acquit that feller.” Information For Candidates. Jefferson City, May 27 —The secre- tary of state, 8S. B. Cook, has been called up so often recently for a con- struction of the law regarding the filing of campaign expense accounts of candidates that he has issued the following statement: Under the requirements of section 7189 Revised Statutes, 1899: Candidates for nomination before a convention or in a primary, wheth-| ag er successful or not, are required to file a statement of campaign ex- penses, Defeated candidates for nomination may file statements prior to or after the general election at option.

Prof. Morgan, the archaeol of aris, has suc led in deciphering | the laws of King Kammouradi of Baby- | lonia, a contempe wary of Father Abra- | ham. The law books, written onclay, were overed by the French exploration digging up the ancient city of Suiza, and will be the principal at tion of the archaeological exhib at the Grand Pals The parts of the cod ie deciphered by the professor deal with criminal, civil and commercial law Here are ex- tracts from the fun nental laws of the ancient Babylk fhe man who shall be thrown it “The has forfeitec s opened Me iseovered in the act his life if he carries weapons on his body, He shall be bur- ied on the spot where he entered the house.” “He who destroys a fruit tree shall be fined ten pieces of silver.” “He who drives another man’s ox to death, shall give ox for ox.” “He who injures an animal shall be fined half the worth of the animal.” “A woman inheriting a house, field, or orchard from her husband must not be molested in her which she shall be free to leave to her favorite son, Her husband's children shall not be entitled to fight the testa- ment.” “He who enters into a contract with- out witnesses or without any instru- ment in writing shall not be allowed to carry his case before the courts.” BLIND BOYS ON BICYLES. burg possession, The Pupils of the State School'of Oregon at Salem Are Becoming Experts, Bicycle riding is the latest means of recreation provided for pupils of the state blind school in Salem, Ore, Su- perintendent Jones has procured a tandem bicycle, the rear seat of which is arranged for either a lady or gen- tleman, A blind person rides on the rear seat, while some one who can see rides in front. A number of the pupils have learned to ride in this manner, and they get cc ble en- joyment as well as needed exercise from a spin around the city. ‘Two boys who are totally blind have ‘| become such good riders that they can ride the wheel around the school grounds, The pupils are not permit- ted to ride in dangerous places or take any chances of an accident. There are a number of pupils at the school who can see well enough to distinguish large ‘objects, but who can- not see to read, Sometimes one of these pupils is permitted to oceupy the front seat and guide the bieycle. Superintendent Jones says that while visiting a blind school in the eust he saw two boys who were total- ly blind, but who could ride a bieycle together over any road with which they were acquainted.

Senator Ben Hill is accredited with the following handsom tribute to Gen. Robt. E. Lee, the idolized hero of the Southern people: “He possessed every virtue of the other great commanders without their vicea; he was a foe withont hate. a friend without treachery, a soldier without cruelty and a victim without murmuring. He waa a public officer without vices, a private citizen with- out wrong, a neighbor without re- proach, a Christian without hypo: erisy and a man withont guile.
