Will the fate of George Hasty have
it* effects on others? We don’t
kaew. Already he has been confined
tu •'risen right in our midst far more
tbftB a year and in that short snare
»f time many have dismissed and al
most forgotten the tragedy of that
December morning. The feeling
•gainst Hasty has died out. The
Weeding hearts of the relatives and
mtlmates of the dead men have heal
•d until there is little left but the
noar.
Rut how about George and his peo
gfe? Their cup of bitterness has
been filled to overflowing. His broth-
•r* have been as loyal as it was pos-
elble to be. They have labored hard
•ad sacrificed much in behalf of their
brother, and George’s constant hope
hu been that the Supreme Court
night grant him a new trial and that
the second trial would result in a
lighter sentence. But now the dark
•loud of dispair lias passed between
him and his sunshine of hope. The
future can hold no brightness for him
•ales* he simply makes up his mind
to be content in prison and servo his
••nteace and his God in the best
taenner he can.

Lo. the Wise Indian.
There has been quite a little said
about the grafter taking advantage of
the Indian. It is not always thus.
A laud man who wanted an Indian's
signature to a deed told the Indian,
who was suffering with toothache, to
go to a dentist and have his teeth
fixed, and said that he, the grafter,
would pay the expense. The grafter
did this to jolly the Indian into sign
ing the deed. The Indian returned
from the dentist’s with $238 worth of
gold crowns in his head. The land man
paid the bill. Whether the Indian sign
ed the deed is not necessarily a part
of the story.—Kansas City Journal.

The Limit of Meanness.

A South Carolina contemporary
has discovered that the legislature
of that State contains very few mar

Tb* Mann«» of Man That Mr. Stiggiy
Likes to Meet.
‘*1 like a man with a mind of his
own,” said Mr. Stiggly. “Right or
wrong, I like a man who knows
what he thinks n id who is not
afraid to speak it. I hate a man
who doesn't know what he thinks or
who is afraid to say what he does
think
“Now, there’s done?. I say to
Jones on a lowery morning:
“‘What do you think, Jonesy.
Think I’d better take an umbrel
la?’
“And Jones says:
“‘Take an umbrella? Whv,
within twenty-two minutes it’ll be
r m"i*_biue,^ green and jmrpm
pitchforks, and If you haven’t got
a boiler iron umbrella with I beam
ribs you’ll be speared to death and
then drowned. Sure you want an
umbrella!’
“Or suppose it had happened to
be Robinson I asked, another man
who knows what be thinks, and
Robinson says:
“‘Umbrella! Foolish! In twen
ty minutes it’ll be as clear as a bell.
All blue sky.*
“Now, of course Jones and Rob
inson couldn’t both lie right, but 1
would rather lug an umbrella use
lessly, following Jones, or get
drenched following Robinson—he
led by a man who had a mind of his
Qwn andjv.isn’l_afr§id to speak it—
than to hear what I wouUTget frow
Snibbly if I asked him
“ ‘Better take an umbrella, hadn’t
I?’ I say to Snibbly, to bear him
saying:
“ ‘Ye-es, I auppose it would
safer.’
“Snibbly doesn’t know what he
thinks about the weather or about
anything else, and if he does know
what he thinks he doesn’t say it.
He sides in with me. He think* it
would be safer!
