The courts of this country are
less ready than formerly to let any

of substantial justice. The su

aside a West Virginia sentence of
death which was being attacked
because one of the jury commis
sioners had not properly taken the
oath of office.
Those West Virginia legislators

HENRY WARD BEECHER ON BLINDNESS.
It would be.a dreadful thing to
me to lose my sight, to see no more
the faces of those I love, nor the
sweet blue of heaven, nor the my
riad stars that gem the sky, nor the
dissolving clouds that pass over
it, nor the battling ships upon the
sea. nor the mountains with their
changing lines of light and shade,
nor the loveliness of flowers, nor
the burnished mail of insects. But
1 should do as other blind men have
done before me; I should take
God's rod and staff for my guide
and comfort, and wait patiently for
death to bring better light to nobler
eyes. O ye who are living in the
darkness of sin! Turn before it is
too late to the light of holiness,
else death will bring to you not
recreation, but retribution. Earth
ly blindness can be borne, for it is
but for a day; but who could bear
to be blind through eternity.
FOUND AN ECONOMICAL PAIR
Most Joyous Occasion of Life Failed
to Make Them “Loosen Up,” to
Young Clergyman’s Dismay.
A clergyman In Cherryvale tells
I Mrs. Moffett that when he was a
struggling young preacher and a mar
I rtage fee looked like several square
j meals to him. he was called upon to
! officiate at. the wedding of a wealthy
young farmer to the daughter of an
other farmer, also very wealthy and
widely known in the county. The
night of the wedding was a stormy
one and the train to the little country
station was two hours late, so the
preacher hired a rig and drove the
entire 12 miles, getting there just in
time to miss supper. The wedding
was a bril'.iant affair and after the
ceremony the groom called the ntin
| ister aside and told him how much
! he appreciated his coming through the
| storm and handed him a $2 hill—not
i enough to pay the team hire. As the
j preacher sat stunned, gazing at the
; money, the bride's father came in and
the groom left. "How much did he
give you?" asked the father. "Only
two dollars,” replied the preacher.
"Why, that is a shame,” exclaimed
the father. “After all your trouble,
too. He's terrible close with money.
Don’t say a word to any one, but take
this.” And as the old man slipped
away the preacher, much touched,
opened his hand and found a $1 bill.

Honesty Increasing.
On her return from marketing, the
young matron of the Upper West side
said to a caller: “I believe the sense
of honesty is increasing in New York,
nt least in this locality. This morn
ing I called the attention of a sales
man to a small mistake he had made
in giving me change, the mistake be
ing in my favor. The proprietor,
who was standing near, said to me:
‘You're honest. You’ll get along all
right.’ Not so many years ago the
thought that seemed far too prevalent
in this country was that only some
clever form of dishonesty could ‘get
along all right.’ The merchant who
could trick a customer was supposed
to be the smart fellow, and it was as
sumed an honest person was sure to
get the little end of everything. 1 am
delighted to find even one inan who
realizes that honesty is actually indis
pensable to success, and it is especial
ly plensing to find him in a place
where I can deal with him regularly.”

Tantalum Pens.
Tens for writing purposes are being
manufactured today in Germany by
a process which is exciting some
curiosity. The trouble found with
steel pens is that they oxidize easily
and the ink sticks to them. This
i fault is not to he found with gu'.d
I pens; but, on the other hand, these
' are too flexible to be entirely satis
I factory. Moreover, In order to form
a point suitable for writing purposes,
the material of that part of the pen
| has to be mixed with some hard
metal like iridium and this operation
is both complicated and expensive.
This new’ pen is of tantalum and
comes to the manufacturer in the
form of a black powder. The pen
that Is made from this has the ten

HERBINE
For the Bowels
A Cure for Chronic Constipation, Torpid Liver
and Irregular Bowel Movements.
Constipation Is tho most common disorder of the bowels. It
affects both sexes and all ages but is more prevalent among
women because their duties in the household require less physical
exercise than the occupations of men; therefore women suffer
most from Its baneful effect.
A constipated person Is an easy victim when exposed to any
serious disease—Pneumonia, Typhoid Fever, Malaria, Rheumatism,
Small Pox, Yellow Fever and Bright’s Disease gather their annual
harvest of death among those who are habitually constipated.
Even though they escape these diseases, such persons are always
ailir.g more or less. They have headaches, bid digestion, dizzi
ness, virtlgo (blind staggers), sallow' complexion, flatulence, loss
cf strength; and no energy at all. Ilerblne has a most admirable
effect in the bowels; it is cooling, purifying and regulating. It
puts a prompt check on biliousness, wind in the bowels, nervous
ness, heartburn, bad breath, low spirits, drowsiness la the day
time and nervous wakefulness at night.

misfortune lo live In The same house
shop under difficulties. The only way
they can insure the enjoyment of
their own purchases is to carry them
home.
“If the things are delivered the
bride snaps them up. Possibly she
has no real shoplifting propensities,
but circumstances combine to make
her a thief. Servants bring to her
room all parcels of whatever size and
shape that come to that front door
So many of the things do belong to
her that to read the label or listen to
what the delivery boy says is consid
ered superfluous exertion. And the
bride is equally disdainful of a pre
limit.ary examination. Egostically she
rips off wrappers and digs into con
tents.
"Yesterday I hea^d her raising the
roof because a certain shop had sent
her six pairs of black silk stockings,
instead of the pink, blue and tan she
had ordered. After she had sent the
stockings back and had the money re
funded I discovered the stockings
were mine. I cannot afford to con
tribute these parcels to the bride's
wardrobe, so I am carrying them
home.”
