THE UNWRITTEN LAW
Things keep coming up every day that
one ciu't understand. Charity has
grown to be so common that one expects
to see it always extended- A recent
decision in a case in a New York trial
court has much to do with charity, yet
presents a strange, though very pat
decision, along the lines of the "un
written law." Joe Feidman lost his
place las*. April, through no fault of his.
he honest, industrious, ambitious.
Since that time he tramped the s'.reets
of New York looking for work. He
knocked at all doors, lor opportunity
might hide itself anywhere. But all
his searching was in vaiu. His clothes
grew ihiuy and he steamed and ironed
them. Rut this was only a temporary
expedieat. They kept growing worse.
One day last week he got a chance
for job. Ke spoke to his brother Alex
ander, who i? a year older. "Alex."
he said, "my clothes are poor ?nd worn.
Let me wear oae of your suits and a tie.
Then 1 may become a clerk and earn
money again."
His brother refused him brutally. Joe
waited until iltiander left the bouse,
then be put on the suit. He got tho
job but lost it because his brother had
him arrested for stealing the clothes.
Joe pleaded with Alexander but he
wouldn't relent, and so the grand jury
indicted Joe for stealing a suit, shirt,
collar, tie and a pair of shoes, ail valued
at I2y.
When Joe was arraigned he pleaded
guilty. "I took the clothes but I did
not mean to steal them. I only wanted
to make sure of getting the job.'
Timothy Murphy, a typical Irish
TammaDy judge was the man who tried
the case. He listened to the evidence
aud then he said "There's nothing do
ing in this case. This boy got the
clothes, but I'm not going to punish
him. Its punishment enough to have a
brother like the one who accused him,
There is a law for cases like this, but
its unwritten. I am going to let him
go free."
That will be the last of the esse.
There will be no further prosecution.
This shouldn't be allowed to end the
matter with Alexander. There's no
law to punish him for his hard heart.
He was well within his rights when he
caused his brother'* arrest. But it is
one of those ca?s where the "uuwrltten
law" should be applied: not the "un -
written law" which sheds blood in an
ger, or revenge or for expiation, but the
better "unwritten law" which sets apart
the leper and the unclean.
To ostracise this one Alexander: to
set him apart from his fellows at bed
and board, iu business and at play,
might save a hundred Joes in the years
to come.
FUNNY THINGS IN PRUT
Errors which sometime* creep into
the daily pap. rs cause considerable
merriment. Nearly every ooe has rsad
of the reporter who described a shoot
ing affair as follows: "The man w?s
shot once in the left breast ami twice in
the barber shop." Also the brief story
that "Tha Chinaman fell and broke his
leg just below the opium joint."
Ooe of the most famous mistakes that
ever got into a metropolitan paper was
in Chicago in connection with a tire,
when a number of persons were res
cued.
The fire occurred late at night The
night city editor who "handled" the
story m irked the cooy when it went to
the printer with directions to send him
proofs -io that he could make certain
there were no errors. Here is the way
the story appeared in the paper:
"The young woman appeared at the
window, flames bursting about her head,
her hair disheveled and with wild eyes
shrieked:
"RUSH PROOFS TO NEVY."?

At the coning Juneau convention it

Chief Conley of Atlin, overlooked an
opportunity when taking the instne
man, who thought he was Napo'eon '
Bonaparte and owned four hundred bil
lion dollars, to the Insane asylum, wben
he failed to permit him to give a "Col
ouel" Sutherland interview on Alaska
to some newspaper man down there.
Kven at that, when it came to fixing
up the call for the convention ut Juneau
the friends of that city, in iiivin?r it the
representation they did, did no*, inad

In the big race between Alaska

Sutherland was several knocks ahead
of the rest of the bunch.
The positions of some of the Alaska
statesmen may shortly not be so irn
portant as their disposition.
The following conversation took
place between a railroad traveler and
the train conductor:
"I thai) have to ask rou for a ticket
for that boy, ma'am," said the conduc
tor holding out his baud for a ticket.
'?I reckon not," answered the woman,
not budging.
"Indeed, you must pay for him," in
sisted the conductor. "He's too large
to be traveling free. He occupies
an entire seat and must pay for it."
\ "I can't help that," snapped the wo
man.
"See here midam, I've no time to
argue the matter. If you don't pro
duce a ticket for that boy or pay his fare
I'll have to put him off the train." And
the conductor glared in a determined
I way at the woman.
'Vut him off, then," said the woman,
"He's nothing to me. I never saw him
before today."? Mobile Register.
THEPERFECI WAY
SCORES OF ALASKA CITIZENS HAVE
LEARNED IT '
If you gaffer from backache.
There is only one way to cure it.
The perfect way is to cure the kid
aeys.
A bad back means sick kidneys.
Neglect it, urinary troubles follow.
Doan's Kidney Pills are made for
kidneys only.
Mrs. T. J. O'BRIEN, of 60 East 9th
St , North Portland, Oregon, says:
"Time has not chang d my opinion of
Doan's Kidney Pills. I gave this rem
edy my endorsement in 1903 and am
glad to repeat my recommendation of
It. A member of my family found
great relief through using Doan's Kid
ney Pills and since then, several of
my neighbors have tried them with
equally good results. We are always
g'adtotel! about the merits of the
remedy."

EDITOR CLIMBS 10 BED
WITH II DEAD 11
Chicago, Illinois, August 15 ? 1
Major Jamas Morton, editor of the
Hardaman Free Press, unwittingly
went to bed with a corpse in Junction
Citv last night. He had missed his
train and going into the hotel asked for
a room The clerk said the house was
crowded, but assigned the edi'.or to a
room with another man. By mistake
the clerk sent him into the Trong
room, and the editor quietly disrobed
and got Into bed.
Soon a young man and a woman came
In and took seat* near an open window.
The Major thought the procedure
strange, but he said nothing. Listen
ing to wh?t they said, he heard a re
mark ab.mt sitting up with the dead.
Then he remembered that his bedmate
had not moved and reaching over
touched bis hand.
With a yell the Major jumped up
with a sheet over him and rushed out
of the room. Believing th?t the corpse
came to life, the two watchers broke
for another door, and atl met in the
office of the hotel for explanations.
GREATEST SNAKE STORY YET RECORDED
COMES FROM NEBRASKA- -IS
FORTY FEET IN LENGTH
Valley, Neb., A>'g. 15? A monster
snake, forty feet long am) with a head
like a bushel basket, is causing terror
to the farmers east of this town, whete
it has been seen several times and
where it picked up Joseph Anderson,
a farmer, and tnrew him twen'y feet
feet, breaking two of his ribs.
The farmers have organized a srand
snake hunt for next week, and
every man for miles around will tike
part.
For twenty-five years reports 'iave
been circulated about a big smke
which lived near Agees Like, trnd
which occasionally caught and s > ;l
lowed a pig or a calf. Twice this y>\.r
the snake has been sreb.
While Joseph Anders >n and IV,
Nightengale, both farmers, were en
route to the lake to go bathing, and
were walking through the grass, the
monster suddenly rose up right uuJ r
Anderson.
He attempted to step over it, think
ing it a log. The force of the head
threw Anderson twenty feet. Then
with its head raised six feet above the
ground and bellowing like a bull, the
snke made for the lake, which ?
entered in sight of the men.
Anderson and Nightengale say the
snake was forty feet long, one foot
thick, and hissed like. a locomotive
letting eff steam. When it rushed
through the woods to the lake it broke
off limlw ol trf es three and four inches
thick.
