tumorous Jrpartrafut. Wasn't Innocent.?"When Senator William J. Stone was governor of Missouri from 1893 to 1897. he received many petitions from prisoners in the penitentiary and their friends either for commutation of sentence or pardon," said Oscar Sanford of St. Louis, according to the Washington Post. "The then governor nearly every day would find on his desk a big stack of letters from the inmates of the penitentiary, and the burden of the complaint always was that the prisoner was innocent and ought to be turned loose. Gov. Stone was about ready to believe that the Missouri penitentiary was filled with innocents when he went one day to make a tour of inQnAntlnn wKvv*?v.? "He found many of the prisoners who had petitioned for release and they repeated In person what they had written or asked their friends to write. After a while the governor found a strapping fellow who made a strong Impression. " 'What's your name?' asked the governor. " 'The man told his name and Governor Stone followed it up by inquiring: " 'What are you in here for?' " 'For stealing a horse,' was the answer. " 'But did you steal the horse?' said the governor, somewhat timidly. " 'I certainly did,' returned the prisoner. " 'Then you were convicted Justly for your crime and deserve your punishment," remarked the governor. " 'There's no doubt about that,' replied the convict. "'Well, I'm going to pardon you,' said the governor. "You have no business in a prison with so many Innocent men."" Would Not Bo Pleased.?One of our western senators who possesses a rather irascible temper, has a habit on days when everything seems to go wmg of scolding the clerks employed by the committee. Not long ago, during a session of the senate, the western solon had expressed a desire that one of his clerks prepare a tabulated statement of certain trade statistics of the United States. The statement was accordingly prepared and laid before the testy senator, who glanced at it with an air that boded trouble. In a moment he looked up and exclaimed: "See here, Morton, this wouldn't do. Why don't you prepare this statement on the typewriter? These figures are disgraceful. Any 12-year-old school boy could do better than that. See that three? It looks for all the world like a five! No one would take it for anything else. Just look at It!" "I beg pardon, senator," replied the clerk apologetically. "The fact is, it is a five." "A five," roared the senator. "You idiot! It looks like a three." Twice for Same Offense.?An old negro was recently brought before a Justice. It seemed that Uncle Mose had fallen foul of a bulldog while in the act of entering the henhouse of the dog's owner. "Look here, Uncle Mose,'' the Justice said informally, "didn't I give you ten days last month for this same thing? It was the same henhouse you were trying to get into? What have you got to say for yourself?" Uncle Mose scratched his head. "Marster, yo' sent me ter de chaingang fer tryin' ter steal some chickens, didn't ye?" "Yes, that was the charge." "An' don't de law say yo' can't be charged twice wid de same 'fence?" "That no man shall be twice placed In Jeopardy for the Identical act. yes." "Den, sah. yo' dee has ter let me go. sah. Ah war after de same chickens, sah." Things Were Moving.?-A young lady was dining with some friends at their home, says the New York Evening Post. The host had concocted some seductive cocktails and she had just joined the others in drinking to his health. Before the dinner was over she was experiencing that much-talked-of wobbly reeling that is said to follow a cocktail. While coffee was being served in the drawing room the three-monthsold son of the family was brought into the room and the young guest insisted on holding him. "I am surprised that he is so contented in your lap '* her hostess told her. "He doesn't usually care for strangers." "Well, you may not know it," was the reply, "but he is being rocked." Knew How to Do It.?"My husband." remarked a Philadelphia matron to a group of friends, "was a confirmed smoker with a tobacco heart when I married him a year ago, but today he never touches the weed." "Good!" said one of the group. "To break off a lifetime habit requires a strong will." "Will, that's what I've got," said the wife. Prof???or Spoke too Late.?A professor in a Chicago university says starving to death is not uncomfortable if "one is able to adjust his mind to conditions as to forget that he is starving to death." And to think of the money we have wasted on the Belgians when a few words from the professor could have made their yoke easy!?Louisville Times. Too Much Mouth.?"The only trouble with my speech." said the remorseful man. "is that I didn't know when to stop." "It's worse than that" replied Mr. Orowcher. "The trouble is you don't know when not to begin."?Washington Star. At Rest.?Mr. Manley?"Well, my dear, I've had my life insured for $5,- ' 000." Mrs. Manley?"How very s? nsible of you! Now I shan't have to keep telling you to be so careful every place you go."?The Pathfinder. The Wise Virgin.?"Why did you send your sweetheart to the wilds of Africa to hunt diamonds?" "Two reasons: he might come back with a fortune or he might not come back at all."?Philadelphia Evening Ledger."
