Rev. W. C. Hume lnft to-day for
Jamestown to attend some meet
ings in bis church.
The uniform success that has
attended the use of Chamberlains'
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem
edy has made it favorite every
where. It can always be depended
upon. For sale by all dealers.
Treatment of Convicts.
The old idea was that men were sent
to prison for punishment The new
Idea is that they are incarcerated not
to make them suffer, but to reform
them, if possible, for the lenefit of so
ciety and of themselves. The world
has been many centuries getting
around to this viewpoint. Nothing ar
gues more strongly for the dictum
that the world is growing better than
the fact that society's treatment of
persons convicted as criminals has be
come measurably humane and com
mon sense-like.
Just now there is a man In Colorado.
Tom Tyman by name, who stands
sponsor for this progressive notion.
Tom is warden of the state peniten
tiary. There are wardens and ward
ens. but Warden Tom is different from
the most of them. We have known of
one warden who said he would rather
lash a convict with a horsewhip than
cat a square meal. Incidentally he
died a miserable death, and bis mem
ory is held in abhorrence by all who
knew tilm.
Tom Tyman of Colorado does not
believe in the lash. He believes In
human kindness and sympathy. lie
objects to the striped suit and the lock
step. Even though men are impris
oned for offenses against society Tom
Tyman has a notion that they still are
men. .just human, and he treats them
as such, not as rabid curs or other
dangerous beasts. From some peni
tentiaries men have gone forth at the
expiration of their terms vowing to
"do" the warden if they ever get a
chance. When they leave the Colorado
prison they bid the warden goodby af
fectionately and thank him for bis de
cent treatment of them.
Warden Tom Tyman thinks all con
victs should be paid for the work they
do In prison, the money to be saved up
for them, or. If they have persons de
pendent upon them for support, sent
Jiome. That Is a highly humane idea
fend chock full of good common sense.
Why should tbe Innocent suffer for the
entity? Why should tbe state shut up
a man and use his labor merely for
his board and keep, leaving his family
to starve? Many crimes are commit
ted in tbe name of what we call jus
tice The state should not be a party
to the crime of robbing a family of its
support

Mr. Shakespeare** Head.
Consensus of opinion the world
iround places William Shakespeare at
the head of the world's great poets.
Borne generations, however, were re
quired to establish the fact that the
Rbakespeareair writings ate great
poetry. It was not until well within
tbe nineteenth centurythat the Bard
tf Avoq. dead 200 years, really came
bto bis own. And now there are those
who deny that the Stratford-on-Avon
person wrote the works published un
fler his name, but strenuously argue
that Sir Francis Bacou was the au
thor. The late Ignatius Donnelly was
one of the early "discoverers" of the
cryptogram alleged to be in the works
themselves, proving Bacon to be the
author of the marvelous plays.
One Dr. OrvtUe Owen of Detroit goes
Donnelly and tbe other Baconians one
better—or worse. Dr. Owen has dis
covered, he says, In tbe works known
to have been written by Bacon "n
cipher" which tells him that Sir Fran
cis not only wrote tbe Shakespeare
piays. but burled boxes containing tbe
original manuscripts In tbe river. Wye,
together with the head of Mr. Shake
speare himself, whom Bacon benevo
lently slew when the Stratford man's
usefulness as a literary stool pigeon
was through.
Dr. Owen confidently expects to find
tbe Baconian manuscripts and the
head of Shakespeare. Recently tbe
head of Oliver Cromwell has turned
up, and it seems really to be authen
tic. But, then, Mr. Cromwell, as his
tory relates, was dug up after bis
death and hanged, after which his
body was stuck up on a pike on West
minster hail. Mr. Shakespeare is sup
posed to have died natural death, or,
according to some accounts, from the
effects of a jag enjoyed (temporarily)
in the company of such spirits as rare
Ben Jonson and Michael Drayton.
It is truly painful to contemplate the
finding of tbe Shakespearean corporeal
caput buried in a box in tbe mud of
the river Wye. Let us hope that Dr.
Owen's quest will be futile. And. for
the matter of that, we opine that it
will be so.
Ex-Speaker Cannon admits that In
forty years of legislative service he
has changed bis mind on some meas
ures. A statesman whose mind re
mains stationary for forty years is not
much of a statesman. "New occasions
teach new duties." and new conditions
breed new views.
The Name America.
That the four hundredth anniversary
of the namlngiof America passed with
out any celebration four years ago was
of no particular consequence. Now
somebody has worked up a celebration
of America's name day, to take place
.Tune 3. 4 and 5 next in Lorraine,
though tbe actual birthday of the
name, it is said, was April 2J. The
coming observance will serve to call
attention to some interesting historical
facts.
There are those who believe that
Christopher Columbus should have
been honored by having the western
world named for him. in which case it
would have been Columbia and we
should be called Columbians Instead of
Americans. The new world was not
named until after the death of Colum
bus. In fact. Columbus died without
ever being aware that he had discov
ered a new continent. He Insisted that
be had merely reached a hitherto un
known part of Asia.
Amerigo Vespucci, on the other
hand, not only reached the mainland
of this continent before Columbus did.
but he seems ro have appreciated tbe
fact that a new continent had been
discovered. The name America first
appeared In Martin Waldsemueller's
"Cosmograpbiae Introduction pub
lished at St Die. in Lorraine, April 25.
1507. Waldsemueller wrote. "Tbe
fourth part of tbe globe, which, since
Amerigo discovered It. It is proper to
call America or American Land." Two
years later Waldsemueller's map of
the world was published, tbe name
America being used on a map for the
first time. This was applied only to
8outh America, however. North Amer
ica being called Parlas.
America Is a beautiful name. Co
lumbia also Is beautiful, but hardly so
musical of sound. There Is plenty, of
glory for both navigators In the mar.

covery of tbe new world.
A Chance to Sell Your
Ho Hobble Skirts at CoroaaMoa.
What is this we hear? No hobble
skirts may be worn at any of the
court functions attending the corona
tion of King George in Junel Earl
Spencer, the lord chamberlain, who
seems to be the official censor of things
sartorial, has so decreed. It is not on
record that Earl Spencer personally
objects to the hobble skirt, which
many women seem to adore and which
furnishes much innocent amusement
for tbe men. A woman Imprisoned In
a hobble-skirt cannot courtesy properly
In the presence of the king and-queen,
and that Is the reason ascribed for
making this style of garment taboo. It
should be easy to courtesy In a harem
skirt, but we are not informed as to
whether this cut of feminine adorn
ment will be permitted at the court
functions.
Reports from London indicate that
In the matter of dress tbe coronation
will outshine anything that ever hap
pened under the sun. Queen Mary's
train Is to be twenty-eight feet long.
This prodigious train, built of heavy
red velvet will be borne by six young
women—possibly eight, the later ac
counts say. Why not put the train on
wheels, like a railroad train, and save
bother?
The king's robe, which Is manufac
tured of cloth of gold, will be likewise
a heavy affair, but poor George must
carry all its weight himself. His crown
also Is considerably heavier', than a
bat, even tbe popular British "topper,"
but we are comforted by the assur
ance If It makes him tired to wear It
during the latter part of the proceed
ings It may be carried by distinguished
attendants.
People from the United States, It Is
estimated, will leave about $25,000,000
in London during the ten days' coro
nation festivities. Much of this will
go for tbe kind of clothing prescribed
by the lord chamberlain and tbe other
lords of style. When It is all over
there will be a vast.quantity of wear
ing apparel which nobody will have
any use for, except to keep as relics,
of tbe coronation. But, alas, milady
cannot wabble in her hobble, because
she can't courtesy. This is sad, but
true.
Those Mexican rebels seem to be al
most as successful in winningSrlctoriee
as were our troops in Mexico sixty-five
years ago. We 'uns whipped tbe Mex
icans in every battle. It Is evident
that tbe Diaz military establishment
Is not up to snuff.

Funny Camus Questions.
Germany, like other countries, is tak
ing the census this year,- and, if we can
trust a Pails..contemporary, some of
the questions can scarcely come within
the category of "pertinent" It ,may
be that tbe Parisian journal Is merely
.'trying to add to the gayety of nations
by poking alittle fiih at Germany but
anyway, here are .examples of the
questions it says the Germans have to
face:
Are you lawfully married or not?
When were you married? Have you
been divorced? What age was your
wife at tbe time of the marriage? Are
you or your wife subject to nervous
attacks? If you have children under
twelve months state how they. are
nourished. Are you blind or simply
In one eye? Do you use lorgnettes,
spectacles or plnce nez? What Size
boots and shoes does your wife take?
Do you drink alcohol?
These Questions, If they be given
correctly by our contemporary, must
recall Artemus Ward's account of how
he took the census—for Instance:
"Have you had tbe measles. If so, bow
many?"—London Globe.
Another Good Seheme Gone Wrong.
Manager Gus Harts. was standing
hear the opera house box office when
one of two panhandlers who had enter
ed the lobby approached him, and
holding out an addressed and sealed
envelope, begged for the price of a
postage stamp.
"It's for me mudder, boss," he snivel
ed. "Youse wouldn't turn down er
guy fer de price er de stamp, would
youse?"
"Never," said the manager, deftly
grasping tbe envelope and throwing it
through the box office window. "Here,
Fred," addressing himself to Treasurer
Coan. "stamp this and have it mailed!"
Tbe velocity of the proceedings fairly
took the panhandler's breath away.
Then, backing away to where his part
ner awaited him he whispered, "Noth
in' doing, bo—the guy's wise."—Cleve

A Chance Acquaintance.
Not long ago Marc Klaw was at
Monte Carlo. Next to blm at one of
the tables in tbe casino sat a little old
lady. Losing together and then win
ning together, they picked up a chance
acquaintance. At last they rose to
gether, Marc gallantly conducting her
to the door and thence to her automo
bile. As tbey passed through tbe vesti
bule tbe orchestra was playing the
"Ave Maria" of Gounod. "Isn't It
lovely?" said Marc, tears coming to bis
eyes. "Tbe last time I heard It sung
was by Christine Nllsson." Tbe old
lady smiled and said, "So long ago?"
As Marc turned back into tbe casino
and the auto sped away a friend said.
"Do you know who that was?" Marc
said he did not. "It was Christine
Nilsson." said his friend.—Colonel Wat
