says: ““There is #n oriental legond
to the eftect thatan evil spirit once
obtaincd the mastery over mav
and gave him his choice as to
whether he would get drunk, or]
rob a house, or commit murder. :
The man, thinking to choose the i
least of the evils, selected intoxis
cation; but, says the legend, when ‘
he had become intoxicatcd he!
committed both the other crimes. |
There is a good deal of philosophyl
in the story. It illustrates tbe
cunning of ‘he evil genius as well I
as the folly of the human being,
and is in & measure an answer m!
the not unusual srgument which]
secks to excuse one from the con
sequences of his own acts because
he was drunk.” |

S |
He Reasoned With the Lynchers m:ilef
They Saapped Pistols About Him.
' One ivcident in connection with
. the lynching of James Deavin and
! Charles Tennyson at Corydon, Ind.,
at 1 o'clock last Thursday morning,
s particularly noteworthy, and has
since been the talk of the country.
It was the nerve displayed b’y De
puty Prosocutor Thomas J. Witson,
of Tarrison county, who had the
eourage todo whit no one else would
rdo. i
Jerry L. Suddarth; of Leaven
} worth, is the prosecutor for the
district of Harrison and Crawford
‘counties, and Mr. Wilson is his de
puty for Harrison coynty, Heisa
young man to occupy euch a place,
but his brains, couraze and legal
knowledge have already marked
him as one of those upon whom
honora are likely to fill in the fu
ture. Nothing has raized him
more in the estimation of the peos
plte ofhis county than his action
betore the mob. Mr. Wilson, or,
as he is familiary called, “Tom,”
suspected trouble, and, when he
noticed country men riding into
town in pairs about midnight, he
knew what was éomming and eraid
up to de what he ¢ould.
He first went te town Marshil
Will's G. Heth and told him he
thought the mob was gathering,
and agked him to go with bim to
help guard the juil. Marshal Heth
dia so at onee. Theadvauce guards
of the reisulators had posted them
eclves about town in pairs, when
the thunder of the horses’ hoofs of
the muin body was heard on tlm
bridge a few hundred yards from
the jail. In arother minute the
mob had surrounded the jiil avd
two, hundred pistols were heing
brandished in theair. About fifty
of the lynching party wore masks
of various colors, while the large
Bol¢ v ore none, hut were othervise
disgtized. The masked men im
anediately surrounded the jajl doces,
while the others undertosk the
job of keeping the town people
hack at a gafe distance, =0 that none
of the lynching squad could be ree
ognized.
“Stand back: get back!” com ‘
manded the leaders to the peojle;
get away from bere!” and the citi
j zens, with a few exceptions, |
SSant Y |
Several of the mob had foreed
their way into the hall of the resi
dence connecte | with the jail and
had Sherit Shuck covered with
revolvers, and were demanding the
keys, which the sherift relused to
give up. At this moment Deputy
Prosecutor Wilgon pushed bis way
through the crowd and mounted a
riding block in front of the house.
“IListen to me!” he shouted,
“What do you waut here?” ‘
“We demand of the sheriff of
Harrizon eounty the keys of the
Jaill”
Well, you can’t get them,” said
Wilson,” ‘
“If we don’t get them to-night,
we will bure the town and come
back some other time and take
them,” eried the leeder, to whiech
sentiment the mob gave expression
‘approval,
~ “No, you won’t do anything of
‘the kind,” answered Wileon, in
; whose face a dozen pistols were
gleaming. You would not disgrace
} yourselves and the county by such
an act.”
“We've got enought of that talk,”
several yelled ; “‘get down and go
away from here,or we'll shoot you,
! too.”
““You'll notdo any such thing.
You muast Jisten to me, Oh!l
don’t eare for your mstols; I'm goa
ing to make you hear me. Don’t
put such a blot on the fair name of
this county. To lynch these men
either proves that there is a mob
spirit in the community or that
the courts do not do their duty.—~
The courts alway have doné their
duty, and they will do it with these
men, Deavin and Tennyson, Let
the law take its course.”
“Dry up! Get down trom there
or you will get the next bullet
from this pistol,” wis the reply
from one of the mob,as he fired his
! revolver in the aiy,
«J don't care for your threats,”
returned the plucky young prose
cuor. “You maust listen to reas
‘son, and I'n going to talk, I don't
eare how much you shoot.”
At this a dozen or more pistols
‘were thrust under Mr. Wilscn's
inose ana there was an ominous
clicking of the old-tashisned hams
' mers. Marshal Heth and Mr, Cyrus
B. Lewis,who had made their way to
‘ where Mr. Wilson was facing the
| mob, single-handed and unarmed,
heard the clicking secompanied by
‘the cries of “Hang him, 00, if he
don't etop telking!™ They expects
ed eyery moment to see Wilsan
shot, and they stolen up behind
him,and grabbing him tightly,pull
ed him down from the block and
“away.their progress being accellar.

i moment the hammering of the large
gledge on be doors began,and then

A Fond Parent’s Advice to His Kopeful
Son
“Alexander - Philologus," said
the parentin a voice sad yet stern,
“you are about to go forth - into
the wide world to carve out your
fortune, No doubt you have
beautiful dreams of what you will
achieve. In your mind’s eye you
#eo yourself coming home years
from now elad in velvet and fineJ
linen. I trustthat you may come
that way, but I fear that yenr
garments may be compored ot hur
lap. You confidently expeet to
drive homeward down the sunlit
road 1n & gorgeous equipage with
servante and retainers. Itrust that
you will not be obliged to walk
home on the ties and get turmips
from hired men to keep svul ani
bady together. Yousco at the
idea, and you may scoff until
the clangor of brazen bells announ
ces that the cows are coming home
Ihaye heard young men scoff’ bes
tore at words that wers spiced
with wisdom, and I have seen
them in atter years driving streat
cars and sawing wood. The fac 1
of the matter is, Alexander, that |
you hare a lashly exaggerated idea
of yoxr own importance in this
dreary world. You foolishly ens
tertain the idea that if you were to
die tosnight the earth would shud~
der and wheel backward. But it
wouldnt. The sun would rise
just the same: the stars would
gleam as brightly asever, the creek
would gurgle merrily on its way;
there would still be marriage and
giving in marriage. You would
be laid carefully away in your nice
ly fitting grauve, my boy, and the
grass would grow over you, and
the brunvette cow woull eat the
grass, and there wonldn’t he a sins
gle jolt in the whole world beeause
of your death. It is unfortunate
that you have made up your mind
that you know it all. When you
have been jostled atout a little
while you will want to go to some
secluded graveyard and weep. You
wi:l e convmeed that Imstead of
knowitg itall youdon't suspect
anything. Man is like a grounds
hog in the path ot a landslide,
Alexauder, if t' e groundhos bas
sense enough to get out of the way
it is all right, but if it cocks itselt
v o the hind legs and looks wise
it il be everlastingly squelched,
Man i 3 alsolike a boulder by the
seashore: the boulder may be a
great deal bigger than the pebbles
ahout it, but whea an idle stranger
fires it into the water it dossn’t
take any more to coverit forever
that it would one of the pebbles.
I knew a man once who could con
verse fluantly in more languages
than you counldshake a cord of wood
at; what he didv’'t know abont
astronomy wasn t worth knowing;
there wasn’t a science or an art on
which he was not an authority; his
knowled_e was simply eublime.
He forgot more every day than
on can ev ¥ hope to know. Yet
this remarkable man perished mis.
erably in a creek ten feet wide
becauso he had never learned to
swim, Goforth into the world,
Alexander, but not with the idea
that you know it all. Try to con
vince yourselt that other people
moy have heard a thing or two
themselves, and don’t expect that
they will herald you as the Comn
ing Man. The prudigal son was
rather fly when ?ne left home, and
you have heard how he returned.

FORESTS, FLOODS AND DROUTHS.
The Effects of Siripping the Country of
Its Forests--Long Drouths.
Dr. Felix Oswald, wnting in
the North American Review, gives
what he calls ““American Augus
ries." Among other things, he
predicts that ia the near future
arbor festivals will be two popular
to be limited to a single day in
the year.
But he also predicts, judging
from old~word analogies, that the
progress ot forest destruction wil}
before long reduce a large area
of our farm lands to the necessity.
of artificial irrigation. Dr. Os.
wald says that all through the low
lands ot tha2 southern cottoll states,
especially in western Arkansas,
western Georgla and central Alas
bama, severe drouths will become
a yearly afflictjon, and he predicts
that a considerable portion of wes
tern Missouri and southern Texas
will become too dry for rgricult~
ure. i a
The effect of stripping the coun
try of its forests in two.fold. The
penalty is not caly paid in parchs
ing and long cotitinued drouthe,
but in sudden and disastrovs
floads.
Dr. Oswald must have had the
experence .of France in Lig mind
when he alluded to the amalogies
of the old world, One hundred
years ago, during one of the many
revolutions that have disturbed
France, the common people seized
on the preserves of the noblemen
and destroyed the magnificent fors
ests that had been carefully pros
teetdd from mutilation.
One of the results of the destruc:
tion of theseggreat forests was that
in seventeen of the depaitments
of :outhern France the agricultur
al and grazing lands were devass
tated by the mountain torrents;
‘These flozds wereé followed by dis
ustrous drouths aad a very large
‘and fruitful area was impoverished
! and depopnlated.
According to the Boston Herald,
which appears to have studied the
figures, the cost to France in actu
al mouey, ot tke foolish destruction
of its forests, has already amounts
ed to nearly 847,000,000, and even
yet the effcets of the devastation of
a century ago have not been re-]
‘moved. The national museum at
= Washéington has on exhibition a!
‘eollection ot photographs which
| give a vivid illustration of the na
i ture ana extent of the devastation
h_\yrnught in France by the common
' Heople during the revolution.
‘ On a smaller scale, perhips, but
still on a seale large enough to at
tract the serious attention of
thoughtful men, the destruction ot
forests in this coui try i going on,
‘the impelling motive beinz the
oveed ter money. Especially is
’this true of the great forests ot the
south. Since the war hundreds of
thousands of miles of forests have
‘bceu destroyed, and the destruc
tiou is going on more rapidly than
ever.
Congress appropriates only 810~
000 for the preservation of the fors
ests of the nation, while itis estis
mated that $£60,000,000 worth of
sumber is yearly stolen trom the
public domain, The value of the
