itmuorous Department. Mistaken Indentity. A well known and popular Los Angeles physician upon the occasion of a recent visit to a professional friend at Pies no (the physician in charge <?f the state institution for tile deaf and dumb) was invited to attend one of tile periodical "hops" given the inmates. All the unfortunates and a goodly sprinkling of guests were present. Before the function had progressed very far the Presno physician approached his Los Angeles medical friend with. "Get busy, doctor!" The doctor got busy. Although tipping the scales at 21?, he is an easy and graceful dancer and much enjoys the exercise. Approaching a young lady of singular sweetness and beauty, he indicated his desire to dance with her. Sin- proved to be as bewitching with her feet as with her eyes, and our Los Angeles friend, in contempt of all convention, danced two or three numbers with her. At the close of the last one a gentleman approached his charming partin r and asked for the next dance. "I should l?e delighted to favor you, my friend." said she in a voice no less sweet than her face, "but I've promised to dance the next number with this dummy here!" Kaeh had taken the other for an inmate!?Los Angeles Times. A Financial Puzzle.?Here Is an incident that a Chanute man tells as having occurred in a certain Kansas town. He was in the ticket office and watched the proceedings, says the Kansas City Times. A man came up to the window and asked for a ticket to Kansas City, inquiring the price. "Two-twenty-five," said the agent. The man dug down into a well worn pocketbook and fished out a bill. It was a bank note for $2. It was also all the money he had. "How soon does this train go?" he Inquired. "In fifteen minutes," replied the agent. The man hurried away. Soon he was back with three silver dollars, with which he bought a ticket. "Pardon my curiosity," said the ticket seller, "but how did you get that money? It isn't a loan for I see you nave disposed of the $2 bill." "That's all right." said the man. "No I didn't borrow, I went to a pawnshop and soaked the bill for $1.50. Then as I started back here I met an old ac <;uaintance t<> whom I sold the pawn ticket for $1.50. I then had $3, and he has the pawn ticket for which the $2 hill stands as security." Didn't Stay Her Time Out.?< >ld colored Joe had for many years been man of all work for the Gordons. When the family moved to another town, Joe remained in Reading. Several years later when Mr. Gordon returned to Reading on business, old Joe hesird he was In town and went at once to the home of Mr. Gordon's sister. They were at dinner and at one of the open windows Joe took his stand, a pleased grin on his face. After joe had asked about each member of Mr. Gordon's family. Mr. Gordon said. "Where's Harve now.

"A beautiful young bride, the story ran. entered a corner grocery one morning and said: "'Have you got any jackpots, Mr. Sands.' 'No, ma'am.' Sands answered, and he hid a smile behind his hand. 'I've got teapots and coffee pots, but jackpots 1 don't stock.' "'(>h. dear!" said the bride. A frown wrinkled her smooth and beautiful brow. 'I'm so sorry! You see, Mr. Sands, my husband's mother used to cook for hi in, and nearly every night he talks in his sleep about a jackpot. So I thought I'd get one. for, since he mentions it so often, he must be used to it. Could you tell tile, Mr. Sands, what they cook in jackpots?'

JONES, THE WIFE MURDERER I Continued from First Page.] with charging in respect to matters of fan." ( A Technical Break. It would appear from tin- opinion handed down that counsel for the de( fense made a technical "slip up" when they did not hand to counsel for the state or to the jurors in question the affidavits alleged to disqualify certain , jurors in tile Jones case. ' on tiiis point the court states that the exception is overruled because of ( the fact tiiat the affidavits were not . served upon the jurors and upon coun- . sel. In the case of the State vs. Hardc ing. 2 Bay, 267, which case the court refers to, one of the jurymen had been ( heard to sav. it was charged in the af- , riduvit: "By God, lie was one of tiie ' jurors to try the prisoner and he would hang: him at all events." Upon this and the other two reasons that new evidence had been discovered and that there was not sufficient evidence to convict, a new trial was asked for and was refused in the Harding case. The court at that time was unanimous that copies of affidavits of this stature must be served on the juryman or ' jurymen in order that preparation might be made to exculpate. So in the Jones case the court rules likewise. The affidavits in the Jones case contain the following alleged statements of jurymen: 1. By H. H. Pruitt: "I would sit on ' his jury, if I ever got on it, until I rotted or break his neck." 2. By L. Lawson: "That if I ever J sit on the Jury that tries W. T. Jones I would sure break his neck or send him down the road." 3. Mr. Hartsell: "Hang, and I would like to be one of.the twelve to break his neck."

' The most interesting of the exceptions was that as to Judge Memmin- x ger's charge, but there were a number 1 ot other exceptions as to testimony admitted and other points of a legal nature. At one stage the court says: the 1 testimony tended to show that there were continuous acts of brutality on tne part of the defendant against the deceased from January, 1906, to within ' a very short time of her death. "It was held also that from brutal conduct 1 malice might be inferred."

"L>ut," continued Judge Memintnger, "even in my judgment considering these affidavits which have been read, and considering them ex gratia, 1 don't feel it is sufficient to warrant me to grant a new trial. 1 doubt if there is any case of magnitude which has ever been tried and a verdict of guilty rendered, in which affidavits could not be gotten up, made and liled as to what some juror had said about the case. 1 am satisfied no wrong has been done the defendant by the jurors." A Death by Strychnine, t "When I found her she was lying on , the bed and was nude from the waist t down." testitied Dr. J. T.

"I drew the s sheet uji on her and asked Mr. Jones t to get me a glass of water and a spoon. v H? got the water and I got my hypo- e dermic fixed.

Instances of ill treatment of the wife by the husband wenbrought out in the testimony, one witness swore that Jones was seen to lead his wife "lit as far as the road from their home by the back of her hair and whip her after they got back to the steps. It was testified that oil the night of the death of Mrs. Jones her husband was heard eursing at the homo in Santuck, I'liion county. There was testimony as to the character of Mrs. Jones, and of questions the husband had asked a negro woman about his wife. There was testimony much of it. as to Jones's drinking. and as to his alleged mistreatment of his u ifo. inn- witness testified that Jones had said after the death of his wife in a referring to his wife: "Not so sad." meaning liis wife's death was not.

STATUS OF THE INCOME TAX. Constitutional Amendment Now Before the States. There still seems to In- some inisunlcrstamling <>t' tho status of tin- income ax proposal tunv before tile country, ipon which the South Carolina legisla:ure has recently acted, writes Zach Uctthec to the Columbia State. South 'arolina has not voted to enact a fed ral income tax. has riot even voted for he enactment of such a law. When senator Hailey, for instance, spoke hoore the legislature in favor of the in onie tax he was not speaking on the mine proposal as that upon which he aside his gn at speech in the senate ast year. An income tax hill was inro?luc<d by Senator Hailey in the senile, hut that was to enact an income ax law. and his speech was to show hat it would be constitutional. He vas defeated, the Republicans being in he great majority. Hut in order to Ifff.it it these Republicans, led by ^resident Tjift and Mr. Aldrich, got ip the sehenie t? submit to the states i constitutional amendment authorizng the congress t?> enact an income tax aw. Ostensibly the president and the en tiers of his imrty in congress claimed tii.it congress did not have the auhority to pass such a law the supreme ourt having once declared the law Kissed in 1N!M unconstitutional. Mr. Pit ft afterwards admitted that he was lot sincere in this and that what he rally wanted to do was to defeat the ncome tax. because, he said, should in income tax law be enacted which vould raise a large amount of revenue here would not be such a good excuse br a high protective tariff. It was lever intended by those who proposed Ills idea that the states should vote or the constitutional amendment. That s why the Republican newspapers, like or instance, the New York Tribune, vhich the Charleston New s and Cour er has been quoting in support of its pposition to tlie income tax. have >een so maliciously and contentiously liging the legislatures of the various states to turn down the proposed constitutional amendment. Twice in recent times congress lias nacted an income tax law, without my constitutional amendment authorzing it. Once in 1X62. a law which vas enforced for ten years. Then it vas repeated, not because it was considered wrong in principle, hut because lie rates were thought to be too high ind hurdensc.ua> by the few men of ve.ilth who were then as they are now ibie to dominate the whole country. Then again, in 1S!>4, the Wilson tariff uw contained an income tax. This vas put on with a special provision htit it should expire in lttOO. Hut shorty after it was passed the supreme ourt declared by a vote of live to four hut ail income tax not apportioned iiiiong the people according to popuation was unconstitutional. It was ipou the theory that the court was so losely divided, and then after one nan had changed his mind between Tida.v and Monday, as Senator Bailey bowed, that the effort was made by he Democrats with tile aid of three ir four Republican insurgents, to put hroitgh an income tax last year to tike the place of high tariff duties. All the South Carolina members and enators have always been or appeared o be in favor of the income tax. All vere in favor of it last year, and wantd to put it through without any contitutlonul amendment. When, In 1S1H, he income tax amendment was put nto the Wilson tariff bill on the lloor f the house by an amendment offered iy Representative McMillan of Tenessec. Democrat, of course, who had barge of certain features of the bill 11 the house, there was no roll call, but ; was adopted by acclamation. It may e assumed that nearly all the Demorats voted for it and nearly all, if ot all. the Republicans against it. 'ertainly no one about here ever heard f any South Carolina Democrat at hat time being against it. In the sente the two South Carolina senators, Sutler and Irby, were for it. It is inresting to note, however, that CJrover 'leveland. then president, expressed imself in a letter to Mr. Wilson, chairi:m i,f tin- house wavs and means ommittee, as against the income tax, i rather as not being altogether satiseil with it, for at the time of the faems letter to Mi. Wilson the income ix provision hat) been passed. David ?. Hill of New York in the senate otod against the whole tariff hill. The first income tax law was passed nly 1. 1S02, and took effect January , ISM. It provided that all incomes ver $000 and not over $10,000 should he sscssed at .'5 per cent, and that all in miles over $10,000 should be assessed t f> per cent.

In the same act there was a pro- < vision that the law should expire in I InTO.

THE POACHER'S DOG. Gives Warning of Gamekeeper's Approach and "Hunts Silent." During: the recent trial of a poacher at Llangollen, North Wales, it came out in evidence that his canine coml panion on forays acted as an advance scout and gave him notice of the presence and whereabouts of the gamekeepers. Actions of that kind are all a matter of training, and when training "runs in families" the ' habit becomes quite Instinctive, Vo 1 that with the pups of old poaching 1 dogs very little teaching is necessary. ' The best type of dog I >r that purpose is the "lurcher," product of the greyhound and smooth coated Scotch ' collie, especially if the dog Is to be ' used for hare poaching after dark. A highly trained dog of that stamp "hunts silent"?that is, it never gives 1 a whimper in the chase. A dog of in- f ferior instinct often whimpers, and 1 if it finds its prey outmanoeuvring or ' outdistancing it gives utterance to ' loud yelps?a perilous thing to do on * a dark, still night, as it may be heard ' for a mile or more around. An old Ayrshire poacher of a past c generation had a wonderfully trained dog. Starting from home, he and the a dog went in opposite directions, the 1 .... f dog often making a circuit or many * miles but never falling to meet its ^ master at some appointed place. ^ That dog also acted as a spy on 1 gamekeepers, especially those of the ' old tippling, ruffianly "school," now almost extinct. ' Dogs of that kind, so highly train- fc ed and instinctively hunters, often co-operate among themselves in forays and by skillfully imitating v lessons taught them by man often do i an immense amount of injury. The writer adds: "I knew two collie dogs that showed great skill in co-opera- 11 tive rabbit hunting, and when they " 'snapped' more than they could carry to their respective homes (wide apart), they hid the carcasses and ' removed them bit by bit." Night sheep worrying by dogs is a curious p '"instinctive" survival of .ft trained habit neolithic or palaeolithic man taught wild canidae long before Cadmus or any other pundit brought him letters.?Front the Scotsman. y 1 ' u ;t Cement makers' itch, one of the latest diseases due to occupation.

Indian Author Explains the Sacrifice of Suttee. * Contrary to tin- usual western belief, ?aid Saitith Kumar Ghosh, the Indian mthor, Indian women are more highly C esteemed by their husbands even than their western sisters. The Indian is 21 taught veneration for women from Ills , arliest boyhood. And unkindness to !i wife is supposed to lie swiftly followed by misfortune and a man's pray rs ale of no effeet unless his wife joins in them with all sincerity. At a cor nation tlie presence of the sovereign's wife is of tlie utmost importance. Should she lie unable to appear a statue of her must lie placed at her husband's side. Otherwise the ceremony IS M<?1 11'Kai. Tin standard of morality. the lee- C turer asserted, is higher in India than / in Kngland. The Indian, it is true, is lepra 11.v allowed to take a second wife A should his first marriage prove childless. hut it is most rare to hear of an Jj Indian availing himself of his prtvlege. When the Princess of Wales visited India she was regarded with the greatpst veneration, not merely for her ' harm of manner or the fact that one Jay she would be empress of India, 1 but for the fact that she had five sons. 1 Death was not forced on any widow, the lecturer asserted.

The Slave and the Oysters. One of the principal banking houses if St. Petersburg is said to have been founded by a man who for a great part of his life was a serf. Even in his condition of serfdom he was a wealthy bunker, as may readily be imagined, made many attempts to procure his ' freedom. The story goes that he offered 1,000,000 rubles for his liberty, but that his master, Count Sheremetieff, proud of possessing such a serf, refused to liberate him. ; The liberation was, however. Anally procured, and at a much lower price than that mentioned. The story is a pretty one: . This serf, by, name Shalounine, re- < turned one day from Odessa to St. Petersburg, and as in duty bound remired to the Sheremetieff palace, there to report himself. With him he had | nought, as a gift to the count, a small jarrel of choice Crimean oysters. This \ ie left outside till he should receive an ; ntimation that the offering would be leeeptable to Sheremetieff. ' Now, it so chanced that he found his naster surrounded by a large number \ >f guests who had been bidden to * ireakfast. The count was engaged in jerating his butler for negligence to trovldc oysters for the breakfast. The )utler contended that there were no \ tysters In the market. It was at this juncture that the count f aught sight of his banker serf. "So," he angrily exclaimed, "you, too, I ire to annoy me! And with your pes- s ering appeals for liberation! Let me ? ell you that your errand will prove a ruitless one! But stay! I'll release ou on one condition?and one only? hat you get me some ,oysters for reakfast!" Shalounine bowed low and left the oom, When he returned he laid the _____ larrel of oysters at his master's feet. Whereupon the count, true to his rord, called for pen and paper and A nstantl.v wrote out a declaration of im, mancipation making the serf a free nan. Then the former master, with a nost gracious air added: "And now, my dear Shalounine, will < on be so good as to favor us with our company at breakfast?"?Hurler's Weekly. 1' We are a scientific age.
