The big Republican and Democratic politicians started in the first of this week to do business for the September primaries, and from now on until September 13th which will be an unlucky day for some of them there will be a great deal of hustling among them in all parts of this state. Here in Cook county they will have a knocking down and dragging out time of it for his Honor Mayor William Hale Thompson, Edward J.

Charles S. Deneen, Roy O. West and State Senator Morton D. Hull, who have followed suit called their hand or bluff and gone them one better and have also ground out a full county or slate ticket without consulting the wishes of the city hall end of the Republican party, and it will be a life and death struggle between the head chiefs or bosses and as well as between their tin horn followers to see who is who and no one can tell until the close of the September primaries which side will win out and will be entitled to ride the winning or the successful political horses for be it remembered that there are some mighty rich pickings at stake this coming fall and none of the politicians either Republican or Democratic will be able to enjoy those rich pickings unless they can brush by the forthcoming primaries. The Thompson—Brundage slate ticket follows: States's Attorney—Harry B. Miller, Thirty-third ward; Recorder—Leland S. Rapp, Eighteenth ward; Circuit Court Clerk—A. W.

Harrison, who was one of the coldest and most selfish mayors Chicago has ever had and the Honorable Roger C. Sullivan and those who march under his banner and for about one hundred times the "man of Destiny" and his one horse army was again this week routed by the adherents of the Honorable Roger C. Sullivan who proceeded to frame up a county slate or ticket without fully realizing that there are any other Democrats in this neck of the woods except those who radiate within his shadow, for only one distinguished official whom it is claimed is friendly to the former Democratic mayor, was honored with a place on the Sullivan slate or ticket and that is the Hon. Maelay Hoyne who will be renominated to make the race for State's Attorney and his past splendid record in that office will make him a mighty hard man for any one to beat at the county election in November.

Hon. Julius Johnson of Moline, who is one of the most successful business men in this state, seems to be rapidly forging to the front in his race for the nomination for. Auditor of Public Accounts for the state of Illinois. So far there are only four Republican candidates for the nomination for state Treasurer of Illinois and they are the Hon. Lee Small, President of the First National Bank of Kankakee, Ill., Mr. George E. Keys, vice-president of the Farmers National Bank of Springfield, Ill., Albert J. Olson and John J. Stoine of Girard City who made a close race against the Hon.

WILL ORGANIZE WORKING MEN IN TUBERGULOSIS FIGHT. Association of Employers and Employees Proposed with Fund for Consumptive Workers. Organization of all of the working men and women of the United States, including the systematic collection of funds from both employers and employees for local anti-tuberculosis campaigns, is proposed in a report issued today by The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, entitled "Working Men's Organizations in Local Anti-Tuberculosis Campaigns." The report discusses various experiments that have been tried by working men in different parts of the United States to organize for effective service in the anti-tuberculosis campaign, and recommends a plan which would comprehend the following features, based upon the best in all the schemes studied: (1) A simple organization representing employers and employees closely allied with the local anti-tuberculosis society of the community. The organization will provide for the establishment of a tuberculosis fund either on the basis of individual factories or groups of factories. (2) A plan for collecting funds to be used for the relief of tuberculous workers and their families by free will offerings from employers and employees. Employers will be urged in all cases to duplicate the joint collections of employees. The collections will not be a tax or assessment, and will constitute a special tuberculosis fund in addition to those of regular benefit societies. (3) A systematic campaign for medical examination of all workers at yearly or more frequent intervals. (4) The appointment of special committees to give relief to fellow-workers and their families suffering from tuberculosis from the funds collected. A worker in a community where a fund is started who develops tuberculosis will be cared for. (5) Carrying on of educational and legislative work through the organization. (6) The collection of statistics about occupational mortality from tuberculosis.

"This is not the best form of co-operation of workers in the antituberculosis campaign" says the report. "The ideal form would be the adoption of the German or British health and sickness insurance plans to American experience. The plan proposed here is a near approach toward insurance against tuberculosis since it proposes co-operation of the worker, the employer and the state, the latter in caring for consumptives in public institutions at reduced rates."

Entered as Second-Class Matter Aug. 19, 1902, at the Post Office at Chicago, Illinois, under Act of March 3, 1879. At a recent gathering of life insurance men one of the old timers exhibited a copy of a permit which had been attached to a policy issued in 1863. This permit read: "The within assured has permission to reside in any settled part of the states of California, Nevada, Oregon or Washington territory and while so residing to make trips (as a passenger only) on first class steamers plying between the ports of Washington territory, the states of California and Oregon and the Sandwich Islands and to proceed to and return from in like manner or by public conveyance over land: "Provided that written notice be given by the assured whenever any trip to the Sandwich Islands or to the Atlantic states is undertaken to the general agent of the company at San Francisco, Cal., and provided, also, that on the overland route the said assured to take his own risk by death from hostile Indians."—Wall Street Journal. A Natural Born Spender- When a long forgotten cousin died and left Miss Mitfield a round hundred thousand the entire village, after having recovered from the shock, fell to wondering whether the faded little spinster, after having for sixty-three years pinched and scraped and plain sewed just to keep soul and body together, would, after all, get much comfort from her eleventh hour opulence. The state of little Miss Mitfield's mind was revealed when her next door neighbor inquired what she should do with her money—did she mean to save it? "Save it!" Her eyes flashed with new found scorn. "Listen to me, Betsy; all my life long I've wanted a pair of side combs with yellow glass beads onto 'em, and now I'm goin' to hey 'em; yes, ma'm, even if I should hey to go as high as 50 cents!"—Youth's Companion. Coffee With Milk For many years after coffee was first drunk in Europe, says the Manchester Guardian, no one thought of mixing it with milk any more than the Turks and Arabs do now. The use of coffee au lait seems to date from 1687. Mme. de Sevigne, writing to her daughter in that year, said that a doctor much in vogue "has taught us to mix sugar and milk with our coffee. They make a most delightful compound, which will help to support me through the rigors of Leut." In a letter written seven years earlier she had mentioned as an eccentric proceeding on the part of Mme. de la Sabliere that "she drinks milk to her tea." Readers of "Unbeaten Tracks In Japan" may remember that one of the Alnus thought it disgusting that Mrs. Bishop should drink milk and pollute her tea with a fluid having so strong a smell and taste. Bin Van Winkle—Himself. Joseph Jefferson used to tell a story of his visit to a village in the Catskill mountains. He was taking a cup of tea in the hotel when he heard a negro waiter giving a detailed account of legends. "Yes, sah," he continued, "Rip went up into de mountains, slep' for twenty years, and when he come back hyar in dis berry town his own folks didn't know him." "Why," said the listener, "you don't believe the story's true! "True? Ob course it is. Why," pointing to Jefferson, "dat's de man." Boss Prevaricators "There goes a man who boasts that he has never bought a gold brick." "Reminds me of the fellow who says he has never told a lie." "Yes.

"And he's in the same category with the man who says he never was sick a day in his life." — Birmingham Age-Herald. Gothic Architecture. The styles called Gothic, springing from a common source in Romanesque architecture and developing throughout western Europe on differing lines, are in general characterized by the following features, although not all of these will be found in all examples: Ribbed vaulting, pointed arches, the flying arch and pinnacled buttress, clustered shafting, traceried windows in all but the earliest phases, stained glass, a progressive tendency toward loftiness, lightness of supports and suppression of wall surfaces, a system of decoration of which one element was the emphasis and adornment of structural features and another the use of sculpture and carving of human, animal, vegetable and grotesque forms, controlled by a definite didactic purpose and significance, and finally the use of available materials according to their nature upon principles in part of structural logic and in part of decorative effect.-A. D. F. Hamlin in Architectural Record. National Flags. If the question were asked which country's national flag had been longest in use the answer would be either the dragon banner of China or the chrysanthemum flag of Japan. The former has been used from a very early period, and the latter is as old as the present dynasty in Japan, which is the most ancient in the world. Among European national flags that of Denmark, a white St. George's cross on a red ground, is the most ancient, having been in use since 1219. No other flag has existed without change for anything like the same period as a national emblem, although there are royal standards that are older. The Spanish colors date only from 1785, and Great Britain's flag in its present form was first flown after the union with Ireland in 1801. The stars and stripes of the United States was first planned and ordered by Washington of an upholsterer in Philadelphia and formally adopted on June 14, 1777. -London Spectator. Shaving on One Side. The shaving on one side only of the heads and beards of prisoners of war was obviously done to prevent any attempt at escape. But there have been other motives for such half shaving, which occurs at all sorts of points in history. Sometimes the act has been pure insult, as when Hanun, king of the children of Ammon, shaved off half of the beards of David's servants. In these days the victims would have mended matters by shaving the other half. But Jewish reverence for the beard forbade that, and David told the men to "tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown." Demosthenes, when he shut himself up for months in a subterranean chamber to practice oratory, shaved half of his head to cut off all temptation to go abroad.—London Chronicle. Ferrings Denote Widowhood. Earrings Denote Widowhood. That India is a land of curious customs is confirmed by the Popular Science Monthly. A widow, instead of wearing black crape, dons ponderous earrings made of solid brass. Since her widowhood is perpetual she is obliged to wear them the rest of her life. Each year another ring is added. The constantly increasing weight of metal stretches the lobe of the ear, to which it is attached, in an extraordinary manner. It is safe to say that no widow ever forgets the fact of her widowhood when wearing such a clumsy weight. A Silent City. No industry brings the village of Gilthoorn, Holland, into touch with the world. It is almost wholly inaccessible except by water, and the inhabitants are shy and keep within doors, betraying not the slightest interest in visitors. Indeed, Gilthoorn has been likened, empty and silent in its green picturesqueness, to a place visited in a dream.—Argonaut. Progressive. "When did you commit your first fatal extravagance?"

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT. Ptomaine Poison. "Pтомaine is a scientific name for food poison," says a physician in Farm and Fireside, "and, although all ptomaines are not dangerous to health, there is no simple test for telling the dangerous ones from the others. Dr. Charles K. Francis, a noted chemist, gives the advice, 'When doubtful about a food do not eat it.' This applies especially to meat which has a peculiar odor or taste, canned goods, especially when they have been opened for some time, and other foods which do not seem just right. Taking a chance may be taking your health or life. Safety first!" THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, JULY 15, 1916. Etable of Two Maidene. Once there were two maidens who sought to catch a nice young man, and it was a false start in the eyes of the undiscerning, for the one was exceedingly fair to look upon and dressed stylishly, while the other was plain of countenance. The pretty girl smiled sweetly on the nice young man and talked to him till she dazzled him with her beauty and charmed him with her wit. The plain one gazed wonderingly at him and made him talk to her of divers things, while she listened, entranced at his wisdom and learning. He took the pretty girl out riding, to the theater and bought her chocolates and flowers, and all the knowing ones said she had struck a winner, when one day he married the plain girl and took her on the continent for their honeymoon. Moral.—The people who read human nature as they run generally get first to the wire.—Pearson's. Going Without Food. Science says that if he can get drinking water an ordinary man can exist for about thirty days without food. At the end of that time the machinery of the body will not be ruined and can be entirely strengthened back to its old standard by careful feeding. About one-quarter of our body weight is fat, and it is mostly this fat which is absorbed as food during the period of starvation. We can absorb and burn up our muscles until 60 per cent of their weight has gone. We can do the same with from 30 to 40 per cent of our liver and digestive organs and 20 per cent of our lungs. Our hearts can lose 10 per cent, and our brains and nervous system can lose 5 per cent. It will thus be seen that the more vital organs, brain and heart, yield least of their valuable substance for the life of the body, while the less valuable substances—fat, muscles, and so on—are consumed first.—New York American. Novel Methods of Warfare. In ancient history there are two well authenticated instances of wild animals being used by attacking armies. The first is related by Applan when describing the siege of Themiseyra, in Pontus, by Lucullus in his war against Mithidrates. Turrets were brought up, mounds were built and huge mines were made by the Romans. The people of Themiseyra dug open these mines from above and through the holes cast down upon the workmen bears and other wild animals, together with swarms of bees. The second instance occurred in England when the Danes and Norwegians were at attacking Chester, held by the Saxons and some Gallic auxiliaries. After adopting stoning and boiling water defenses in vain against the besiegers the Saxons threw down all the bee hives in the town upon the attackers, who were soon routed. Powers of Sheik ul Islam. The office of sheik ul Islam—literally chief or ancient of Islam—ranks second only to that of sultan in the Ottoman empire. Its holder is ecclesiastical head of the empire and supreme interpreter of the Koran, with absolute control over all imams, dervishes and religious institutions, but he has judicial and political authority also, being, indeed, first magistrate, privy seal and minister for education. In some respects the sheik ul Islam is superior even to the sultan, for his edicts are irrevocable. The sultan may dismiss him before he issues an edict, but the edict once issued takes automatic legal effect, even though, as happened in the case of Abdul Hamid, it decrees the deposition of the sultan himself. Just by Good Luck. A young man who had received the privilege of shooting over the land of a farmer got rather close once or twice to the home grounds. Late in the day he met the farmer. "You've had pretty good luck," said the farmer. "Well, no," said the young man hesitatingly. "I haven't had any luck at all." "Yes, you have," repeated the farmer. "This morning you just missed my best Shorthorn."—Country Gentleman. Sufficient Him-Darling, I would ask you to be my wife, but I'm afraid my income of only $2,000 a year would not be sufficient for us to get along on. Her-Oh yes; it would.

Sorrows or an Author. Many of the sorrows of the author in this living present are quite as active as 150 years ago when William Oldys lived and died in London. The "blue pencil" was as remorseless then, though under some name now forgotten. Oldys tells how he wrote some valuable article of nearly two sheets and how the bookseller, "for sordid gain and to save a little expense in print paper, got Mr. John Campbell to cross it and cramp it, and play the devil with it, till he squeezed it into less compass than a sheet." The book borrower of that time was the same neglectful person that many of us know today, and Oldys sighs over books he has lent which have never been returned. He was a keen antiquary, delighting especially in musty manuscripts, and, half in temper and half in good humor, tells of "Old Counselor Fane, who gave me a parcel of manuscript and promised me others, which he never gave me nor anything else besides a barrel of oysters." An Early Ironclad. Many people imagine that the first armored ship was the "iron eased frigate" Gloria, launched for the French navy in 1857, yet, according to the Popular Science Monthly, the Dutch built an armored vessel nearly 300 years earlier. That was in 1858, when Antwerp was besieged by the Spaniards. The Dutch took one of their biggest ships, cut her down and erected on the deck a battery with armored and sloping sides, within which they mounted eight of the heaviest guns the factories of the day could produce. The roof of the battery formed an armored breastwork for men armed with crossbows and shotguns, and there were gratings in the roof to provide ventilation for the battery below. A contemporary picture of the Finis Belli, as she was called, bears a striking resemblance to the Merrimac, which was designed and built on precisely the same principles. Tendency Is What Counts. Of course there can be no such thing as perfection in this vale of tears, but the man who turns his back upon it that account hasn't good common sense. The man who is low down and tending upward is nearer perfection than the man who is high up and tending downward. Tendency is the profoundest fact in life—in religion, education, society, politics. When an astronomer sees a comet for the first time he will ascertain its direction, even if its progress is only a minute or two, and will describe its course among the stars for weeks ahead. He simply studies the tendency, and one can tell where a man will be ten years from now by the same sort of mathematics. That tendency may reach human perfection if it is started right and the direction maintained—Ohio State Journal. Recognition. One morning on the street car I noticed a large negro woman, very much overdressed and, judging from her expression, much pleased with herself. A negro girl of about seventeen came in and sat beside her, saying genially, "Howdy do, Missus Brown?" The woman turned and, looking down upon the girl, said: "Chile, yo' face looks pow'ful similar, but Ah falls to organize yo'."—Exchange. The Apocalypse. There is no other book in the New Testament about which so much has been written and to so little purpose. Dr. South said of it, "It either finds a man mad or makes him so."

Nosebleed. Whatever may be the cause of bleeding at the nose, always send at once for a physician and see that he is told the cause of the bleeding if it is known. While waiting for the doctor to arrive take care of the patient as best you can. - Unfasten all tight clothing around the neck; make the patient sit down on a chair or a sofa with his head slightly thrown back (never allow a patient to hang his head over a basin); open the window; raise the arms of the patient, stretched to their full extent well above and behind his head, and keep them in that position; apply a cold, wet sponge or a wet towel or a lump of ice to the back of the neck between the shoulder blades, also apply to the root of the nose. If the bleeding does not stop pinch the nose just below the bridge (where the soft part of the nose begins) between the thumb and forefinger, or a clean piece of soft rag or handkerchief can be wrapped up tightly and passed gently into the bleeding nostril. ```markdown ``` Divine Tolie Them to Think Carefully and Prayerfully About Their Wedding Day. Cleveland—"Twelve Golden Rules For Young Ladies" was the subject of the sermon delivered by Rev. Thomas Hughes, pastor of the Rocky River Methodist church. The twelve rules are: "Always remember to be a lady." "Choose carefully your company of both sexes. "Open your eyes and ears, but keep your heart closed to the gush and nonsense from the so called lovers. "Be careful about your dress. Have it becoming and tasteful. "Be more careful about what is in your head than what is in your heart. "Don't be self conceited. "Don't keep company with a sinful young man. "Think carefully and prayerfully about your wedding day. "Be considerate about the time and money of your gentlemen friends. "Be true to the best ideals of womanhood." DRIVEN INSANE BY 100 CIGARETTES A DAY Sent to an Asylum Upon Saloon- keeper's Complaint and Doctor's Testimony. Detroit, Mich.—Frank Winters, the man who smoked a hundred cigarettes a day, was committed to the Pontiac asylum by Judge Hulbert recently in the probate court. The incessant use of the cigarettes was declared by Dr. S. L. Layton, who examined Winters, to have affected his mind. Frequenting a saloon at the corner of Chamberlain and Lawdale avenues, Winters smoked until his supply gave out and his money too. After that he begged smokes from the customers of the saloon, according to Joseph Berman, the proprietor of the place. Berman petitioned the court to have Winters taken to an asylum. A German by birth, Winters was getting along well in this country until the cigarette habit got the upper hand. Given jobs by Berman, Winters even lost his power of application to simple work. "No more work for me," he would say as he would sit down on the job, Berman told investigators. The nicotine undoubtedly had a deteriorating effect on his mentality, Dr. Laxton declared. FEWER KANSAS FARMERS. There Are Not So Many Now as Ten Years Ago. Ablene, Kan.-Fewer people are engaged in agricultural pursuits in Kansas now than ten years ago, according to J. C. Mohler, secretary of the state board of agriculture. "In 1895 of those engaged in all occupations 55 per cent were in agriculture," he declared, "and in 1905 50 per cent and in 1915 46 per cent. It is a very discouraging sign in a state like Kansas, where agriculture is the overshadowing industry, that fewer instead of more people are engaging in it." Some of the serious problems that must be solved in Kansas are those of the home seeker, the ownership of lands, employment of capital, better farming and the improvement of conditions of rural life, Mr. Mohler asserted. WOULDN'T SPOIL HIS FINGERS Artistic Hands, Out of a Job, Refuses to Shovel Coal. Montclair, N. J.-If a man has "plano fingers" and is offered a job on a coal wagon should he accept the job to support his wife and six children, or should a philanthropic society place him in some position where his digital refinement would not be affected by manual labor? This is one of the questions propounded in the annual report of Mrs. Nettle E. Patterson, superintendent of the Altruist society. Mrs. Patterson mentions the case in referring to the difficulties that confront the society. She said that a man when offered a place on the coal wagon refused, saying he had been told he had "plano fingers" and did not wish to spoil them. UNABLE TO FIND A WIFE. Farmer Has Been Searching Sixteen Years, but So Far Has Failed. Bridgeport, Conn.—Joseph Cronan, a farmer of Derby, announced that he had searched forty-two states and two countries of Europe and that, while in a receptive mood, he had not found a girl suitable to be his spouse. "I am strictly temperate, a healthy and strong farmer, and I have been searching sixteen years for the right kind of a wife," he declared. "I have yet to find the woman, and I wish the newspapers would help me." Pig Ate Sixty Others' Talla Findlay, O.—Anson James, a Delaware county farmer, went into his hog yard and found sixty of his sixty-one pigs minus tails. He watched the drove for awhile and saw the sixty-first pig trying to eat his own tail. Hundreds Present When Inventor's Wife Hits Clothing—Urges Girls to Be Modest. New York.—Hundreds of women recently heard well known women who were delegates to the National Federation of Women's Clubs convention discuss dress—the right and wrong kind of dress, the future dress and the cost of dress. All the speakers advocated greater individuality in dress Mrs. Thomas A. Edison made an appeal for greater modesty in dress, particularly of young women, and in no unmistakable terms assailed clothing which, she said, tended to lead sons down to degradation. She denounced "the present abbreviated skirts and uncovered shoulders," saying: "I had a father who frequently reminded me, 'Daughter, be modest.' I think this would be good advice to our girls today." Her husband, Mrs. Edison said, had declared there was not more than one woman in a hundred who was well dressed. LITTLE TOWN IN OHIO PLAINLY ON THE MAP Clyde Has Several Claims to Distinction In Connection With Country's Wars. Sandusky, O.—The village of Clyde, fourteen miles southwest of this city, was the home not only of the highest ranking officer killed during the civil war, but also of the first American killed in the Spanish-American war. It has the distinction also of being the nucleus of what is now the Women's Relief corps. General J. B. McPherson, killed at Atlanta in the civil war, and George B. Mack, the first American killed in the Spanish-American war, are both buried there. According to Joel Elliot of Clyde, Mrs. Hattie McPherson, aunt of General McPherson, organized the first Ladies' Aid society after the civil war began, and it was from the Ladies' Aid society of the sixties that the Women's Relief corps of the present day grew. Elliot says further that army records at Washington will show that in proportion to population, more men enlisted at Clyde for both the civil and Spanish-American wars than from any other place of its size in the United States. President Garfield was to have been the principal orator at the unveiling of the McPherson monument when, on Saturday, July 2, 1881, he left the White House to go to the seaside to spend Sunday with his family before proceeding to Ohio and was shot while waiting for his train. NEW WAY OF GETTING A SUIT Prisoner Worried Owner Until He Gave It to Him. San Jose.—A new way of getting a suit of clothes was introduced here when William Shore, a prisoner, confessed to Police Captain Campbell that he had "mooched" the suit he wore. "I saw the suit on a man on the street and liked it," he said. "So I went up to him and asked for it. He got mad and wouldn't give it to me, so I followed him around day and night for two days, asking for it at every turn. Finally he got disgusted with me and gave me the clothes." Shore told Police Chief Fuller, who threatened to put him to work pitching hay, that he "wouldn't pitch enough hay in a week to keep a canary bird alive for one day." REFUSED TO QUIT JAIL Muncie (Ind.) Resident Said It Was the Best Job He Ever Had. Muncie, Ind.-Albert O'Harra, shellif, had a hard time to make Frank McLaughlin quit the county jail. A friend paid McLaughlin's fine, but he steadfastly refused to leave the jail until his sentence had been served, the sentence being for eleven days. "I never had a better job than this," said McLaughlin. "All I had to do was a little scrubbing out in the morning, and I had a good, warm place in which to sleep and a good place in which to eat and had plenty of things to eat in the bargain. Believe me, Sheriff O'Harra is the best landlord I've ever known." CALICO FROM THE SKY. Windstorm Drops Bolt of Goods In Needy Woman's Yard. Hume, Mo.—In a recent windstorm here a bolt of calico fell in Mrs. Jenny Harrie's chicken lot in the north part of the city. It was quite a lucky haunt for Mrs. Harrie, when the price of calico is considered, and she needed the goods. It is supposed that the calico was taken up in the clouds in the path of the tornado south of here. Where it came from no one knows. Hog With Six Legs Puente. Cal.-While driving out a number of hogs from a pen on the Rowland ranch workmen in the employ of L. A. Meredith discovered that one sow was possessed of six legs. The animal has two extra forelegs perfectly formed, and all six legs are used by the animal in walking. Mr. Meredith says the two extra legs are just inside the "regular" forelegs and are some what smaller. FOR THE CHILDREN A Sleepy Time Story About a Very Remarkable Bird. WAR EAGLE OF THE SIXTIES. About a Baby Camel Which Was Born In a Circus and Nursed on a Bottle. Many Interesting and Amusing Things For Little Folk. As Memorial day will soon be here, Uncle Ben told the children this story about AN AMERICAN EAGLE. The eagle has always been the emblem of power and courage. It is pictured in many ways, the most popular way being spread out. This is called the spread eagle. The United States in 1785 adopted the bald eagle, its wings displayed, as the national emblem. You know that sailors and soldiers always make a pet of something and take it with them on their trips. Well, in the civil war the Wisconsin soldiers took with them as their mascot a young eagle. It is very hard to get an eagle from its nest, for the nests are usually very high up and in lonely places. An Indian once managed to steal a very young eagle from its nest, and he sold it to a soldier. The soldier named it "Abe" for he intended to present the bird to Abraham Lincoln when the war closed. The soldiers all made a great fuss over this bird. At mustering in they decorated him with red, white and blue ribbons, tying the colors around its neck and putting an immense rosette on its breast. The color bearer, the tallest man in the regiment, carried "Abe" on a staff, which was placed a little above the colors. When any orders were given the colors and the eagle were always first in place. It would sit very still and look from side to side to see if everything was all right. When battles were being fought it would scream and flap its wings as if to cheer the soldiers. It seemed to understand all the orders given to the men. Once when the men were ordered to lie on the ground it flew down and stretched flat beside the soldiers. When they got up it flew to the top of its perch again, so the story goes. It went through twenty-two battles and thirty skirmishes and was wounded three times. When the war was over it traveled all over the country and received as much homage as a great man. A veteran was detailed to take care of it and was well paid for doing so. The bird died in 1881, and its skin was stuffed and put in the state capitol. But it was later burned in a great fire. The Common Hen. When you come right down to natural history facts there is no beast or bird about which a boy or girl knows more than about the common barnyard hen, which is a very industrious individual. But there may be some boys and girls who do not know that the hen and her male companion, the rooster, came originally from Asia. In the jungles of India they used to roam wild and were great fighters. When a couple of them engaged in battle the one that was victorious would shout it out with loud crowing. There is also a negro variety that has not only black feathers, but a black skin. You no doubt have seen the Cochins that came originally from China, and you may have heard or read that the Greeks and Romans and the Egyptians thought a great deal of the hen. A Valuable Tree. Whittier, in Los Angeles county, can perhaps claim the most valuable fruit tree in California. It is an avocado (aligator pear) and it is insured against wind and fire by Lloyd's of London to the amount of $30,000. This tree in 1814 produced 3,000 pears, which averaged the grower 50 cents each; it also produced $1,500 worth of bud wood, making a total production of $3,000 for the year. A Menagerie Infant. Not long ago the menagerie of a great big circus received an addition that was hailed with delight by the circus folks. It was a baby camel. Photo by American Press Association. a cute and awkward little fellow, covered with soft brown hair. Sad to say, the baby's mother was unable to nurse him, so the kind hearted keeper fitted a rubber nipple on the neck of a bottle, and little Mr. Camel soon learns, I how to take his meals. TELLS GIRLS TO PROPOSE Young Woman Who Is Studying Black smithing Gives Her Reasons. smithing Gives Her Reasons. Ames, Ia.—Miss Tura A. Hawk, Iowa State college's only girl student of blacksmithing, has further demonstrated her versatility by winning the faculty cup for the best extemporaneous address, and she did it with the subject, "Why Women Should Propose." "There are three reasons why women should propose—physical, spiritual and moral," said Miss Hawk. "I ask you, is there any reason why a strong, able bodied woman should not support a husband if she chooses? No; only a time worn prejudice rears itself against such a procedure. "For the spiritual reason, there is the great saying, 'Whatever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so to them.' As women should rightfully be the manager of the oldest of all institutions, the home, is it any more than fair that she should be permitted to ask the man of her ideals to help her found and operate that home? Must woman, because years of common practice have established a custom, wait when she is ready to begin her life work because only the men who are not her ideal will propose?" BIG CATCH OF SHARKS Apollo's Crew Hooks and Kills Nineteen-teen-Captain Gets Turtle Baltimore. - Catching sharks and shooting immense sea turtles was the pastime enjoyed by Captain Thomas Thomassen and his crew during the voyage of the Norwegian bark Apollo, now in port with manganese ore from Rio Janeiro. Nineteen sharks, the largest eleven feet long, were captured and dispatched by the ship's crew. "It was on June 4," said Captain Thomassen, "that numerous sharks hovered about the vessel, fighting each other for the refuse from the ship's galley. I made a hook about twelve inches long on a two inch line, baited it with pork and fastened it to a two inch rope. The bait hardly reached the water when a shark swallowed it, and the tussle began. That day we caught seven of the monsters. "It took five men to holst a shark to the ship's deck. After killing the shark with an ax its fins were removed and the carcass thrown overboard. "A large sea turtle was sighted about 200 yards from the vessel on June 10. I took a shot with a rifle and struck a vital part." KISSING NEGRESS COST $3.50. Young Man Who Saluted Her Was Put Under Arrest. Pittsburgh.—Raymond Watkins, twenty years old, of Homeville and his companions were standing on a street corner in Munhall terrace recently chatting and joking when one of Watkins' friends bet him $1 he did not dare to kiss the first girl that came along. Watkins put up the money and soon got his chance to win a dollar. Estelle Stanton, a negress, eighteen years old, living in Munhall terrace, walked along an instant later, and Watkins seized his opportunity, accosted the young woman and kissed her on the cheek. Watkins then turned to his companions and collected the dollar. A few hours later he was taken into custody on a charge of disorderly conduct preferred by the girl. Watkins paid the costs, $4.50, and was freed. Thus he lost $3.50. TO FIDDLE FOR VOTES. Missouri Girl Will Help Her Father's Campaign. St. Louis.—When William C. Askin, a banker of Salem, Mo., announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for secretary of state his daughter, Miss Bernice Wolcott Askin, was in New York. The news of her father's candidacy, however, brought her back to Missouri with the announcement that she will accompany him on his campaign with her violin. "Father has done much to alm me in my musical education," said Miss Askin at the home of a friend in St. Louis, "and now that he wants to be secretary of state I am going to do all I can for him. I may accompany him over the state during his entire campaign. If I do I shall take my violin along and entertain the voters." READ BY VOLCANIC LIGHT. Could See Newspaper Print In Glow of Lava From Maunaloa. Honolulu—Maunaloa, which was in eruption in May, recently broke out again. A flood of lava which burst forth at an elevation of 7,000 feet flowed down the mountain side, traveling southwest at the rate of about a mile an hour. The flood of lava divided, following two channels. The glow illuminated the entire landscape at night. Newspapers could be read by its light many miles away. The course taken by the lava was that taken by the last previous eruption, about nine years ago. The sea is about fifty miles from the mountain in this direction, and there is little property of value between. UNHURT IN LONG FALL Metal Worker Dropped Seven Stories and Then Got Up to Walk. San Francisco—Bryant J. O'Connor, a metal worker, fell seven stories to the pavement recently from a scaffold on a San Francisco office building and surprised horrified spectators by rising and attempting to walk away. He was restrained and taken to an emergency hospital, where an examination showed that no bones were broken and that O'Connor's injuries were confined to minor bruises and scratches. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, JULY 15, 1916 A MODEL TEACHER Must Be Stylish as Well as Pretty, Says Principal. ICHABOD CRANE TYPE EXTINCT Braine, Beauty, Charm, Magnetism, Attractiveness, Poise and an Overdose of Common Sense Are General Attributes For a Modern Instructor, P. M. Fisher of Oakland, Cal., Thinks Oakland, Cal.—"There goes a schoolmarm. You can tell them by their dowdy dress and their prim manner." "Oh, can you, though?" asks Principal P. M. Fisher of the Oakland Technical high school, who has drawn up the plans and measurements of the ideal teacher and declares that more and more of them are conforming to the standard. He has named the requirements necessary for the successful pedagogy, and those who are deficient can spend their vacations in catching up. Brains, beauty, charm, magnetism, attractiveness, poise and an overdose of common sense are the general attributes. The old type of teacher is extinct, he says. "The day of the Ichabod Crane type of teacher is gone," said Principal Fisher to his teachers. "The time when the lame, the halt and the blind were naturally elected as the custodians of the desk and the wielders of the birch is also passed. Today the teacher is more likely to look like a fashion model than like a frump. She has no narrow views, no old maid ways. She is brought into contact with many sides of life and to qualify she must feel and understand. She must be superior not only mentally, but morally and physically as well. She must be a well poised expert, human and efficient." In the scale in which Principal Fisher would weigh the prospective teacher personally would have to outbalance education. It is also as important that she be well formed as well informed. "No teacher needs to be a Venus; neither should she dress like a dress model." the principal elucidated, "but she must be wholesome and pleasant to look at, and her dress should be both becoming and businesslike without being designed especially to attract notice on its own account. "But that is not all. Though she have the beauty of Helen of Troy, the style of Gaby des Lys, the brain of Mme. de Stael, still she would not qualify 100 per cent unless she had a voice tuneful as a thrush, soothing as the lapping of summer waters on a sandy beach. "The voice should be free from all acid qualities, gentle and friendly," in the opinion of the Oakland educator, "and in character the teacher must be neither too insistent nor overstrenuous. Her mission is to call out a response in her pupils, not to set them on edge. The driving quality is too often apt to drive diffident natures to the wall. Instead of drawing them out she is likely to shut them up like clams. "As gentle as a num, yet she must be firm as a soldier. The pupil who tries to get through school by dodging and fourflushing she must call promptly." FORTUNE AWAITS TWO GIRLS. Man Will Leave $70,000 Estate to a Maid and a Clerk. Chicago.—An unusual situation due to the dearth in domestics came to light recently when the Illinois free employment office announced that a man worth $70,000 who is adding $1,000 a year to his belongings is willing to give his fortune at the death of himself and his wife to two girls, one a domestic and another a clerk, if he can find them. He wants a girl, preferably of Swedish or German descent, for general housework and another for clerking in his store, which is in a town of 2,000 sixty miles from Chicago. He will pay the girls $2 a week, with board and lodging, while he or his wife live. DROWNS IN SET TUB. Despondent Over Illness, He Commits Suicide in Novel Manner. New Britain, Conn.-In a fit of despondency arising out of illness with alcoholic gastritis, Ricard Sederval, aged twenty-seven years, committed suicide by drowning. He lay across set tubs in the cellar of his brother's home at 102 Linwood street and held his head under water until he died. After returning home he put up a pair of horses in the barn and then went into the cellar of the house. He was found fifteen minutes later by his sister-in-law. When the police arrived at the house they found Sederval's helper holding the dead man's head out of the water. Woman Chokes Rats. Atchison, Kan.-When Mrs. T. E. Garvey of this city discovered six full grown rats in a barrel of chick feed she did not scream and run, as most women would do, but grabbed them by the neck, one by one, and choked them to death. There was a canvas covering on the barrel, and it had a small hole in the center. The rats were choked as they emerged from the hole in the canvas. Music With Joy Rides. Bellefontaine, O.—Persons living in Bellefontaine believe they have originated something new for evening automobile rides. They are carrying small phonographs with them in their cars and enjoying music as they ride. GIRL HANGS TO ROOF OF AUTO BY HER NECK CHAIN Father, Who Was Driving, Finds Her Unconscious and Effects Her Release. Waverly, Kan.—Miss Dorothea Roberts, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. M. B. Roberts of Waverly, met with a very unusual and peculiar accident which almost cost her life. With her father she she was riding in their car, the girl in the rear seat, the father in the front seat, driving. In passing over a culvert at good speed the girl was thrown against the top of the automobile and a strong chain which she wore about her neck caught over one of the bows in the top. There she hung until the father noticed that she failed to answer his remarks. When he looked around he found her unconscious hanging to the top of the automobile. He stopped immediately and did what he could, but she was unconscious for several hours. Her mouth was full of blood caused from the choking of the chain. She is on the road to recovery. BEGGAR PRODUCES MISSING ARM; HITS POLICEMAN Surprised Patrolman Recovers and Puts Husky Fugitive Under Arrest After Fight. Sun Damascene — When is a one round beggar not a one armed beggar? Patrolman John J. Mullin learned the answer when he went to the hospital. Mullin caught Russell Head, who says he is a waiter, begging alms on Market street, near O'Farrell. One sleeve of the alms seeker's coat was empty, and the arrest caused murmurs of sympathy for the woebegone beggar to well from the lips of passers by. Mullin took Head to a nearby patrol box. With bewildering prestidigitation Head produced a second solid, substantial arm from under his coat. At the end of the "new" arm was attached a fist which resembled a ham. Before Mullin could recover from his astonishment Head leaned his fist against the former's jaw, and Mullin fell to the pavement. Head ran away from there, with Mullin in hot pursuit. A brisk battle followed, during which Head seized the patrolman's third finger of the right hand in his mouth and nearly bit it off. Head is now in the city prison, charged with begging and resisting a policeman, and Mullin is in the hospital with a lacerated finger. REFORESTING SMALL ISLAND. Plan to Make Habitable Mers of the Hawaiian Group. Honolulu.—The reforesting of now barren Kahoolawe island, in the Hawaiian group, is the proposition the territorial board of agriculture, the members of which, after a visit to the small islet heretofore designated unsuitable for settlement, decided to begin the work of planting algaroba trees there. It is recommended a portion of the island swept by the strong trade winds be fenced to prevent depredations by sheep and wild goats. Members of the board say the introduction of horses on the island would assist in the distribution of seed. It is also proposed to construct several large reservoirs to conserve the rainwater that falls so plentifully at all times. Algaroba trees planted there ten years ago have reached a substantial growth. COLORS EMPLOYED ON FARM. Barnhart Tells How He Made the Whole Place Yellow and White. Reading, Pa.-Henry A. Barnhart of Indiana told the committee of the state board of agriculture, in session here, of his efforts in behalf of the artistic side of farming. He illustrated this by citing that his big barns and outbuildings are all painted yellow, with white trimmings; the farmhouse is painted white, with yellow trimmings; the cattle have the same yellow color, because they are Guernseys; not a horse is used except he is yellow and has a white mark on his head and white feet. The shepherd dog is yellow, with a white band around his neck; there are yellow colored chickens, yellow colored squirrels, the place being known as the "Color Scheme Farm of Indiana." BORN WITH EIGHT TEETH. Baby Also Brought Into World a Sufficient Quantity of Hair. Pittsburgh. - A baby boy born with eight teeth and Samsonian locks has the attention of all Undercliff. The boy has been named Alvin Leroy King and is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Leroy King. When the baby opened his mouth for his first lusty yell the nurse was surprised to see four teeth each in upper and lower jaws. The child's head was covered with black hair. Ever since the King home has been an attraction for mothers, fathers and children calling to see the baby. Protects Tame Jack Rabbit Bloomingdale, Ind.—William B. Leonard has inserted a notice in the newspapers requesting his friends and neighbors not to harm his pet Kansas jack rabbit. The rabbit has the run of the Leonard farm, but is so domesticated that it returns at night to sleep in the kitchen Youth Has Only Three Remaining of Original Seven In Locket—Hopes to Find a True Lover. Kansas City, Mo.—A well dressed young man walked into a loan office here. He brought forth his pocketbook and paid the interest on money he had borrowed on a locket. Then he asked Frank Nevin, appraiser, to be allowed to see the trinket. Nevin produced it. The young man examined it and grew confidential "That locket," he said, "represents four love affairs gone astray. You will notice four of the seven diamonds with which it was originally set are missing. It was four years ago that I became engaged the first time. The girl suggested I take a diamond from the locket for our engagement ring. I have been engaged three times since, and every time I have used one of the diamonds. The girls have broken their engagements and then kept the ring. "You see these three remaining stones? I hope to be able to find a girl that will keep her promise before they are all gone." Mr. Nevin said the diamonds in the locket were worth about $75 each. WAR EMANCIPATES THE TURKISH WOMEN Veils Being Discarded or Modified, and Theaters Will Soon See Native Actresses Is Belief. Constantinople.-Since the allies abandoned the Dardanelles attack Constantinople has become normal and is now as far removed from the theater of war as any big city in neutral countries. The cafes and motion picture houses are well attended, and the theaters are crowded. Recently there was a big first night in the Petit Champs, the occasion being the performance of a French comedy. The actors were Turks, but the actresses were all Armenians, as Turkish women are not yet permitted to appear on the stage, but the general opinion is expressed by all thinking Turks that before long their women will make their first appearance as actresses. The emancipation of women in Turkey has made remarkable progress since the beginning of the war. In the best society in Constantinople the women no longer wear their vells when receiving their guests. Though vells continue to be worn by the Turkish women in the street, still the fashion has made them so filmsy and transparent that they might just as well be dispensed with. Consequently all the fascination and mystery that heretofore has surrounded the harem has suddenly disappeared. There is no longer any such thing, and in its place there is simply the usual family life. The Turkish woman is as much a housewife as her European sister, and in this war her resources have been taxed to the utmost. Despite the fact that the rich agricultural country of Anatolia is not far distant, the prices of all necessaries of life have increased enormously. Turkey has awakened from its long lethargy, and the war has brought a new life in the empire. Progress is now the keynote, and the indications are that within a few years Constantinople will be one of the most advanced cities in the world. WOMEN NOT REAL ANGLERS. New York Commissioner Pratt, Therefore, Would Let 'Em Fish Free. Albany, N. Y.—"Women," says Conservation Commissioner Pratt, "do not constitute a factor of importance in the fishing situation." Therefore Mr. Pratt recommends that the fair sex, as are children under sixteen years of age, be exempt from the provisions of his bill to compel fishermen to take out an annual license costing $1.10. "It is not desired," he adds, "to put any burden upon these young fishermen." Under the bill a license is not required to catch suckers, bullheads, carp or other plebeian fish, but to catch fish propagated by the state the $1.10 fee must be paid. WEDS LOSER OF PHOTO. Planter Traveled Throughout Middle West Six Months Seeking Ideal. Hudsonville, Mich.—George N. Howard, a planner of Birmingham, Ala., found a handbag on the Panama-Pacific exposition grounds at San Francisco last September. The bag contained the photograph of a young woman. On the picture was written the name "Wisconsin." Howard fell in love and for six months traveled throughout the middle west seeking his ideal. He found her here. The bride was Miss Nettle Telsma of Oshkosh, Wis. Flying Hen Drop Egg. Bluefield, W. Va.—What is believed to be the first time on record of a hen laying an egg in midair was the unusual accomplishment of a brown leghorn in the express office at Graham. The hen was in a coop of chickens. After the coop had been placed on a truck the brown leghorn escaped, and while flying dropped a snow white egg into space. John Jones, a colored roostabout, who was pursuing the hen, caught the egg as it dropped. FATHER HAS A MOTOR DRIVEN BABY CARRIAGE When Twins Came Along He Asked For License, Which Was Granted. Olympia, Wash.—A man in Vancouver has a motor driven baby carriage and has applied to the secretary of state for a license to operate it. He wrote as follows: "A short time ago I took out a license for a motor attachment for a bicycle, and now I want to transfer that motor to a baby carriage that I purchased when twins were born into my family. May I do this without taking out a new license?" I. M. Howell, secretary of state, in his reply to the proud though anxious father replied that the transfer would be allowed. ROBBED BY BANDITS, BUT HE WINS BRIDE And Then Couple Adopt Child Who Was About to Become an Orphan. Live Oak, Cal.—Starting out from Seattle, bent on an auto trip that would include Yosemite valley, Harold Fitzgerald, a lumber dealer, met in four weeks' travel some thrilling adventures. Fitzgerald began his trip alone, but he is taking on passengers and may be overcrowded before he is ready for the homebound journey. Here are a few episodes in Fitzgerald's search for thrills as related when he stopped at Live Oak to take on gasoline. When near Kalama, Wash., he was held up by two highwaymen and relieved of a rifle and $40. The road agents got into the car and rode sixty miles, thanking him for his courtesy and sportsmanlike spirit, as they left to strike off into the hills. A few miles out from Salem, Fitzgerald came upon an auto going north. In the party was Miss Jeannette Draper, daughter of John Draper, driver of the car. It was love at first sight. Fitzgerald discovered that it was necessary for him to return as far as Salem. It was a whirlwind courtship that in four days ended in Miss Draper becoming Mrs. Fitzgerald. Father and mother continued north, bride and bridegroom coming south. While crossing the Siskiyou range the Fitzgeralds came upon an old mountaineer and his four-year-old granddaughter. The man told a story of how the child's mother had died, and he was leaving for the county seat to place the little one in an orphan's home. The beauty of the child and the pathetic story appealed to the newly wedded couple. The next day little Mabel Hines was riding in the big auto. She had found a new father and mother. SOUVENIRS FOR BRIDES. New York Suffragists Tell Each New Wife Power: Vote Would Bring. New York.-Little American flags and suffrage buttons were given out at the marriage license bureau to all the brides of the greater city recently by New York city suffragists. The demonstration took place just as the soldiers were called out to camp, and so many of the brides were tearful little war brides, to whom the American flags presented by the suffragists were peculiarly appropriate. With the flags and buttons each bride received a box of wedding cake tied with suffrage ribbon and a bride's leaflet advising each new wife of the power she might gain for husband and children if she had the vote. The leaflet told of the good laws women have helped to gain in the twelve suffrage states for the protection of men, women and children. It ended with an appeal to every bride to join the suffrage movement, which is endeavoring to "extend the wife and mother influence throughout the state." Chief Scully entered heartily into the plans of the suffragists and permitted them to trim up the marriage chapel in the municipal bureau with yellow flowers. RIDES A FISH TO DEATH. Hiram Also Keeps His Prize Despite State Game Wardens. Appleton, Wls.-Riding a fish and killing it is not catching it. Such is the decision of the state game wardens in the case of Hiram Beveridge. The water in the Fox river has been low of late, and Hiram saw a six foot sturgeon in a shallow pool below the John street dam. He tried to catch it by the tail, but failed. Then he jumped and landed on its back. It was worse than riding a bucking broncho, but he seized a stone when the fish was floundering in shallow water and beat it to death. Hiram's knees were scraped raw and his legs cut, but he got seventy pounds of fish and furnished the basis for a new legal decision to ring down the areas. Sentenced to Attend Church. Gallon, O.—Mayor Blehl recently sentenced Sylvester Shade, found guilty of stealing two dollars' worth of brass from a traction company, to three years in the workhouse and a fine of $50, but remitted the sentence if Shade keeps clean, sober and attends church at least once a Sunday. . am . é Ce PaGE FOUR THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, JULY 15, 1916. i ee SS PE ceca Mena cLoTEING THE BABY. |eHE COUNTY TRAINING scHoot.| |- What Is Good Rope. | An Early Airship. Sica On ated tes me oe Gaet -Aie eee tak Get Petes Wet a? ‘What sort of clothing 1s best tor the infant? In our latitude, season and ¢limate govern the things it should wear; but the tendency is to overdress, especially when wealth and fashion try to hang their wares on the infant as if it were a rack for exhibition purposes. Here are a few essentials for dress- ing the baby. First, for all babies under six months of age there should be a soft, white flannel band for the abdomen, eight inches wide and eighteen inches long: ‘This is quite as important for the in- fant as is the dress suit which the evening dinner shall perhaps require of him in later years of high life. This band is for universal use in the hut and the palace, for black and white, in July and December. It makes for good form, does the belly band of the baby. The ‘‘claw hammer’? on the other hand is only for show and is in good form only in a narrow circle into which comparatively few babies ever enter when grown up. This baby binder should not be hemmed at the edges, lest it crease and chafe the baby’s tender skin, When he grows up, his hide may be so thick that tight vests and other uncomfort- able things dé not matter, and he shall sit at Joaded banquet boards and stow away inside his bulgjng waistcoat the stuff that beckons gout and invites high pressure in his blood vessels. Not so the baby. He fills out the space beneath his flannel binder with milk— clean, pasteurized, wholesome milk, mother’s milk preferably, if he is to remain inside the zone of safety. ‘And then, come slips and petticoats and other needful articles. In a word, these should be soft, of cotton or wool mixed with cotton on silk to prevent shrinkage, according to the purse. Simplicity and smoothness are first principles. Ample looseness of weave and jooseness of fit in proportion are also in line with common sense; and it is even becoming common practice to banish buttons and pins in favor of tapes for fastening. ‘This is more than 2 commercial fact; it is sensible. The tender skin should not be irritated and scratched by sharp points, humps or rough cloth. They not only hurt, but edueate bad temper, encourage tears, squalls and noise. A erying baby is an unwholesome item in the family budget, like a thistle in a pansy bed. Soothe, comfort, enter- tain and train the baby to see and hear and feel the bright side of the world around him, He will get enough of the other sort later. Proper clothes are a great aid to this cheerful end. An infant is highly sensitive to heat and cold; therefore, the need of that good officer, the mother or nurse, to watch and guard against extremes and sudden changes, such as oceur in Chi- cago. So it is with the infant as with its parents. The wise adult goes with umbrella and outer wraps, prepared for the sharp turns and surprises in temperature which sneak past the weather man, Have ready a warm wrap and extra stockings for baby. “Bye Baby Bunting’? reealls the im- portance of putting the infant to sleep so clothed that he cannot kick off the covers at night and thus eatch cold in winter time. A baby bunting is the sleeping bag, closed at the bottom, that fills this bill of protection. Finally, whatever the baby wears should be clean, unblued and un- starched, and so changed as to insure that cleanliness of habit that shall mean neatness and sweetness in its later years. You may not successfully bribe the weather man to provide cool breezes, but you may spend enough money to buy clean milk and enough iee to keep it cool and enough sereens and swatters to protect your baby from his sworn enemy, the fly. PRISONERS EAT, SLEEP, AND EAT. Col. Denison Has White Elephant in Men Who Refused Oath. San Antonio, Tex., July 13.—(Spe- cial) —The Eighth Minois regimeng has a white elephant on its hands, or rather in the guardhouse. It consists of seven men who refused to sign the federal muster at Springfield and were brought to San Antonio as prisoners. Were it not for red tape Col. Denison would gladly order the guardhouse sentries to let them eseape, or even spur their eseape. 3 As it is, the judge advoeate’s depart- ment is the only authority that ean re- Tease the men. ‘ ‘The guests themselves form a rest: fal colony. After reaching San An- tonio the seven consented to be mus- tered in, but were found medically un- fit. They are, however, the most pro- vokingly healthy ‘‘unfits’? a regiment ever boarded. Eat, sleep and eat. ‘The question all hinges on how to get the men home. Who pays the fare? They are not government men. Who pays the mess? They are not in federal service. Who pays their sal- aries? Government didn't hire them. Col. Denison today ypt the problem to Brig, Gen. Hill, tat he passed the buck to the judge advocate’s depart- ment. ‘Things sent to the judge ad- voeate’s. department come out after much delay. ~ ord THE COUNTY TRAINING SCHOOL. There is being developed in the South a new type of: school for Negro youth known as the cotnty training school. This development is being fos- tered by the Slater Board, cooperating with public-school authorities in the counties. ‘Any system of publicly supported education in the South is based upon the county as the unit. This is as true of the Negro as of the white public schools. The fostering of a county sys- tem, adequately supported and ade- quately supervised, oceupies the efforts of educational forces at work in the field today. ‘A number of agencies are helping in this development. Eight Southern states, through cooperation with the General Education Board, employ sv- pervisors of their rural elementary Negro schools who devote their time to the improvement of these schools in the several counties, and also help to bring about better supervision on the part of the public sehool authori- ties. The Jeanes Fund assists in this development by bearing a portion of the expense necessary to employ the supervising industrial teachers. Their effort has been, not only to teach ele- mentary industries to boys and girls, but to stimulate general improvement in the physieal condition of school buildings and grounds, and to reach the homes of the children, thus devel- oping a spirit of community cooper- tion. ‘There is also the Rosenwald Fund, which has brought about direct- ly the erection of new rural-school buildings, properly equipped, ‘by secur: ing the cooperation of all the forces in the community, both publie and private, of both races. All the forces involved in the establishment of a public system of elementary education seem, therefore, to have been set in motion. JAMES L. SIBLEY In the Southern Workman. FOURTEEN DISCHARGED COL ORED SOLDIERS RESTORED. tent of $2,500. ‘The discharge without honor of fantry, a Negro regiment, for com- plieity in the Brownsville raid in the summer of 1906 has proved a blessing in disguise to fourteen of the disgraced soldiers. They are serving again with the colors, and each man must regard several companies of the 25th In- himself as a Croesus, if he has not al- ready dissipated the bounty bestowed upon him by a just Government, Four- teen of the discharged soldiers are back in the ranks with back pay ranging from $1,289.75 to $2,419.65, the latter amount going to Private Robt. Wil- liams, a troop cook. After a one-party investigation by a southern army officer and a military [inquiry ordered by Congress, not a single soldier was proven guilty. Then Congress directed the President to ap- point a board of army officers to pass upon applieations on any of the dis- charged soldiers for re-enlistment with back pay and allowances. ‘‘And so their dishonorable discharge was struck from the record, and they resumed their rank and places in the army as if the intervening years of stigma has been wiped out. But each now had a bank account if he were thrifty. ‘Three corporals, ten privates and a cook re- joined the old Twenty-fifth. Some of the innocent are dead; others, no doubt, are still recorded as discharged with- ‘out honor, being too ignorant to avail themselves of the change of vindiea- tion, We trust that none of the guilty is in the honor and baek pay list. It ix a gratification to know that by this act of reinstatement justice has been done in some worthy [eases; and that in effect the precipitate action that caused the innocent to suffer ig- nominously with the guilty stands con demned as irrational and unjust. |NEGRO DEMOCRATIC LEAGUE PLANS FIGHT FOR WILSON.

Rope 1s sold by the pound, se there is alwnys the temptation for a dishon- est manufacturer to “load” his product with an excess of ofl or other material or to make the coil a trifle short. The consumer then pays the full rope price for oil, ete. Then, too, much so called manila contains a percentage of in ferior fiber such as sisal and has neither the strength nor wearing qual: ities that it should. Tensile tests do not tell the story, for some of the adul- terants are almost as strong as manila. bot the strength of poor rope falls of rapidly with use. Open the strands and look at the in- side of an old rope for signs of wear. as it wears faster there than on the outside. When 2 rope passes over the sheave of a block or around a cleat the strands'slide a little on each other, and the inner fibers gradually pulverize. Good manila fiber is light colored. fine, silky and strong. Rope made from it is smooth, with few ends of fiber sticking out.—Outing.

Thank you very much.’ ”—Richmond Times- ‘Dispatch. Sluaive Zanneline. In his book “Zeppelins and Super Zeppelins” R. P. Hearne La sap out the little known fact that it was a French: man named Spiess, an Alsatian, who about 1870 drew up a clever design for a rigid airship and made an attempt to patent it, In 1870 Count Zeppelin was @ dashing soldier in Alsace, and Mr. Hearne thinks {t more than likely that he saw Spiess’ plans and annexed the idea. ‘The Zeppelin is a most elusive object despite its size. It can leap upward fn the air at astonishing speed. It can drop rapidly. It can climb at a steep angle. It can dive wonderfully, and it can nose from side to'side with no mean agility. To reckon its altitude at night is most difficult, and to find its range is a matter of much ulcety. Mew « Snake Swallows a Froa.- ‘The method of swallowing is a very simple one, although if the frog be large more than half an hour may be consumed in the process. The two Dones of the lower jaw are separate and capable of independent movement, s0 the reptile loosens its hold upon one Side of its jaw, and, pushing that side forward as far as possible, it drives the teeth in again and draws the jaw back to {ts original position. The result ts that the prey is drawn down by the movement. The process is then repeat. ed by the other half of the jaw, thus inevitably forcing the victim inward. The snake's skin stretches enormously, and the jaw is, of course, dislocated, but the extensible ligaments hold the bones together. Gladiators. ‘The gladiators were originally male factors who fought for their lives or captives who fought for freedom. They were first exhibited at the funeral cere- monies of the Romans, 263 B. C., and afterward at festivals about 215 B. C. When Dacia was reduced by Trojan 1,000 gladiators fought at Rome for 123 days in celebration of his triumph. It 4s said that in the triumphs of Pompey the Great 10.000 fought through a series of many days. These combats Were suppressed in the east by the Emperor Constantine about A. D. 325 and in the west by Theodorie in A. D. 500. The Treadmill. ‘The treadmill was invented thousands of years ago by the Chinese to raise water for the irrigation of the fields.

We are told by Peter Farley, why wrote as 24 eyewitness, that in ay. gust, 1835, the airship Eagle was of cially advertised to sail from Londog wi! government dispatches and pag. sengers for Paris and to establish gy Tect communication between the capi. tals of Europe. This early type of air ship was 160 feet long, fifty feet high and forty feet wide. and she lay in the dockyard of the Aeronautical society in Victoria road, near Kensington gar dens, then quite a rural spot. Built to hold’ an abundant supply of gas, she was covered with oiled lawn and car ried a frame seventy-five feet long ang seven feet high. with a cabin secured by ropes to the balloon. An immense rudder and wings or fins on each side for purposes of propulsion completed her fittings. The deck was guarded by netting. After all this preparation and advertisement the Eagle never got be yond Victoria road, for Count Lenacr and his assistants failed to provide the necessary motive power. — London Standard. A Beruvian River of Merrac_ ‘There is a river of mystery and hor. ror in Peru, and the legends of rich rubber regions and untold wealth in gold are accompanied by tales of those who went up it never to return. Casi- mer Watkins, a naturalist, who has traveled extensively in South America, tells of the stream: “This river,” he said, is the Colorado river, the richest river in Peru. Great groves of rubber trees lie along its course, and xold has been found in it But the Mascos. a tribe of cannibals, infest it. They still practice cannibal ism and will kill a man on sight. Ex. peditions have been fitted out and been heavily armed to go exploring for rub- ber and gold. but none of them ever has returned. The savages have killed the men and eaten them and turned the canoes adrift. They have come down the river empty. bottoms up, or filled with supplies which the savages did not care to remove.”—New York Post. Fish That Sinc. There is a fish called the butterman, which is found off the Seottish coast. This fish, which is fat and comfortable looking, about a foot long as a rule, makes a distinct hooting noise from the back of his throat when landed in a net or caught on a long line. A net- ful of these fish, though they are rather rare, is sometimes caught, and when they are hauled in the chorus of sharp, siren-like boots ts very startling to a stranger. But in Ceylon there is a shellfish, a kind of mussel, which positively sings. In still weather when the water has ebbed away from the mussel beds for a few hours these shellfish can be heard producing a long, low, fluty sound How they do it no one knows, but they make a quite distinct attempt at sing- ing, and as they have no throats they must produce the sound by some ma- nipulation of their double shells. —Lon- don Globe.

BY Dr. W. A. DRIVER 3300 So."State Street Phode Douglas 3617 STOMACH AND BOWEL AUTO. TOXEMIA. Cleanliness internally is of more im- jort than is apparent to the easual ob- server, The tendency is to eat regu: rly at stated intervals, habitually, of every article of food that is put be- fore the eater. That is done by most persons without regard to the actual food needs of the body. In summer the food needs are less than in the winter, but in spite of that fact many persons eat the same amount and kinds of nutriment. It is the old, old story of habit, nothing more. The average housewife understands the psychology ef the force of habit and saves the family much in health and food ex- yense by making believe that all the food has been placed upon the table when nothing of the kind has been done. This is only one of the diplo- matic tricks of the sophisticated house- wife in her marvelous services. In this ‘one trick she does more to prolong life and promote the gospel of happiness than we are inclined to admit. She knows that we will eat"more if we see more until stomach and intestinal au- totoxemia begin to deprive us of the priceless heritage of health. Distress after eating is the first evi- dence of stomach and intestinal auto- toxemia, A distension in the region of the stomach and lower down in the region called intestinal is present. Eating too much is intemperance. Bet- ter eat too little than too much. Bet- ter still it is to eat sufficient. It has heen aptly said that many persons dig their graves with their teeth. The vig- PASTORS DEMAND LID ON GAMBLING AT HAWTHORNE. Tell Sheriff They Have a Tip That ‘Things Will be Wide Open. Traeger Evades Answer. Sheriff John E. Traeger fought lively verbal battle on Thursday with the Rev. M. P. Boynton, pastor of th Woodlawn Baptist church and presi dent of the Chicago Church Federation council, and the Rev. W. B. Millard former executive secretary of the coun cil, The two ministers, who said they represented 300 churches and mor than 300,000 people, visited the sherif and requested him to prevent gambling at the races which are to be run at Hawthorne Saturday. ++We are here to give you informa: tion which we received from a high source, which souree we cannot di vulze, and which we believe is suffi ciently reliable to warrant our turn. ing over to you,’ said the Rev. Mr Hoynton to the sheriff. Can't Stop Mental Bets. Mr. Traeger replied that he would be indebted to the ministers for the infor- mation, and added that it was his duty to sce that gambling was not allowed, fut he added that he could not stop mental betting. “We are told giat it is proposed to put gambling in the Hawthorne race track on Saturday,’? continued the Rev. Mr. Boynton. ‘It is said the gambling will be on a gigantic seale, so that it will be permanently estab- lished as it was in New York.’?

Too much food ren ders the mind ineapable of prope: thought.

De. eayed and dirty food will cause gas trointestinal diseases by introducing microorganisms multitudinous into the alimentary canal. The result of the introduction of millions of germs into the stomach and intestines means that the blood stream gets poisons from the bacilli or germs that infest the ali mentary canal. Even the dead germs produce poisonous material by theit mere decomposition in the gastrointes. tinal tract. Not only must we protect ourselves from the living germ but from the dead microorganism. This season of the year is producing a multitude of ailments because of the failure of the people to meet the con- ditions of nature. The physicians are aware of the fact that gastritis, indi- gestion, flatulence, cholera infantum, cholera morbus, and other stomach and intestinal disorders are upon us with many people trying to evade the issue.

The demurrer was sustained and the case dismissed. This action was reversed by the Supreme Court of the State and the cause remanded with direc- tions to overrule the demurrer. 79 Wash. 608. Upon the return of the case to the Superior Court the demurrer was overruled and defendant pleaded guilty. He then moved in arrest of judgment, invoking against the law and sentence under it Articles V and VIII of the Constitution of the United States and section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment of that Constitution. It was stipulated that Pitney, as charged, furnished Garvin a certain stamp, etc, which entitled Garvin to procure from the United Cigar Stores Co, Inc., upon the produetion of a certain specified number of such stamps, etc., or other similar device, certain goods, etc., free of charge; that the stamp, etc, so delivered to Garvin was redeemable by the com- pany alone and entitled him to re- ceive from the company and from no other such goods, etc., that the stamp, ete., was by its terms redeemable in goods, etc., or 1 cent in cash at the option of the holder as provided by the laws of the State of Washington. (The law of Washington, passed in 1907 (Laws 1907, p. 742), provided: ) ($1) That no stamps, ete, or other similar device which should en- title the holder thereof to receive from the vendor or indirectly through any other person, money or goods, ete., should be sold or issued unless each of the stamps, etc., should have legibly printed or written upon the face thereof the redeemable value thereof in cents. (§2) That such stamps, ete., should be redeemable in goods, etc., “or in cash, good and lawful money of the United States, at the option of the holder thereof,” and any number of such stamps, etc, should be re- deemed at the value thereof in cents printed on the face thereof, and it should not be necessary for the holder thereof to have any stipulated number of the same. .

(4) Violation of the act is made a misdemeanor. Judgment of a fine of $10 and costs was pronounced against him, which was affirmed by the Supreme Court for the reasons announced in its by the Chief Justice of the State. The court overruled Leonard r. Bassindale, 46 Wash. 301, in which ease it had decided that the law, passed in 1905, prohibiting the use of trading stamps was unconstitutional, giving as reason that the police power of the State, as expounded and illus- rated by the decisions of this court, was legally exercised in the passage of the statute.

It was. argued and submitted with those cases and involves the same general questions and the validity of the statute passed upon in No. 224. A criminal information was filed in the Superior Court of the State of Washington for the County of King charging that the United Cigar Stores Company, Inc., a New Jersey Corpora- tion, doing business in the State of Washington, owned and conducted a certain store and place of business in the City of Seattle and had not then or theretofore obtained a separate li- cense from the auditor of the county entitling it at its store and place of business to use or furnish to other persons, etc, to use, in, with or for the sale of any goods, etc., any stamps, etc., or other similar devices, eptitling the purchaser receiving the same to procure from any person, etc, any goods, etc., free of charge or for less than the retail price thereof upon the production of any number of said stamps, etc. . ‘That Pitney (plaintiff in error), at Affirmed. How Limpets Stick. ‘Brery ene is familiar with the saying “to stiek Uke a Hmpet.” bat there are not so meny who know how it is that a limpet is able to stick as it does to the rocks upon which it passes its ex. istence. ‘The creature is able, by means of the central portion of its body, which can be raised independently of the edge or frill which surrounds it to create a vacuum, much in the same way that a plece of soft wet leather can be made to adhere to a smooth surface by pressing out all the air. ‘Thus the so called “strength” of the Umpet is largely due to atmospheric Pressure. It is not entirely so, how- ever, for if they are closely examined it will be seen that the shells accom- modate themselves around the edges to the surface of the rock upon which the Umpet is located, and if removed to another spot the edge of the shell will probably be found to be a very bad fit and the creature's power of adhesion somewhat lessened. If taken by sur prise with a smart sidelong blow even @ large limpet is easily enough dis- lodged; but, given the slightest warn- ing, its power of suction is instantly brought into play, and very often con- siderable force is then necessary ere it can be detached.—London Mail. Tamina the Mink. The United States department of agriculture is making experiments in domesticating the mink. Well, here’s luck to its efforts—but heaven help the poultryman who tries to rear his chickens near that experimental farm. ‘The mink has fur as fine as the most exacting lady could desire, but his dis- Position is as bad as that of a Villista bandit, and he has at least as much cunning. He can dig his way into any inclosure not made of brick, stone or concrete. He loves blood as well asa weasel. He has a perfect genius for evading traps, and he can conduct his depredations so skillfully that for months and even years they will be laid to other marauders, and only the closest observers will know that there is a mink in the neighborhood. The man—or the department—which un- dertakes to tame such a creature has a large self confidence—Chicago Jour- nal. lato ois Oa The idea of submarine navigation ts not so modern as many people imagine. When Napoleon was banished to St. Helena a notorious smuggler named ‘Johnstone conceived the idea of assist ing the dethroned monarch to escape. In Scott’s “Life of Napoleon” he saya: “A submarine vessel was to be the means of effecting this enterprise. It was thought that by sinking the vessel during the daytime she might escape the notice of the British cruisers and, being raised at night, might approach the guarded rock without discovery. ‘The vessel was actually begun in one of the building yards upon the Thames; but, the peculiarity of her construction having occasioned suspicion, she was seized by the government.” Our First Railroad Train. On Aug. 28, 1830, the first American built railroad train made ts initial Journey. ‘The train carried passengers in its one little car and made a trip of fourteen miles in one hour and fifteen minutes, to the utter astonishment of the “natives,” who predicted all sorts of dire calamities from such speed mad- ness. This was the beginning of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, the oldest American road. A Lastina Flower.

Did you ever look at the edge of a dime or quarter? They are different from pennies and nickels, for all silver and gold coin have what are called “milled” edges, while the edges of pennies and nickels are smooth. The Teasons for this is that some dishonest Persons used to clip pieces off the coins, especially the gold ones, and then sell these scraps of precious metal when they had saved a great many. Every year the nation lost large sums of money this way, and the thieves would smooth the edges off so well that it was hard to find out who was guilty. The best way of stopping this practice was found to be to “mill” the edges of the most valuable coins so that no one could pare them without letting it be seen at once.— Kansas City Star.

Her first girl found the country life too slow and returned home “back of the yards.” ‘This experience afforded an insptra- ton, and she imported a girl from her former home at Galesburg. Kindly treatment was to be the keynote of success, so when she discovered the new maid lacked underwear she armed her with a dollar and shopping in- structions. In thirty minutes the girl was back, but minus the underwear. In its place she had purchased a mouth organ costing 49 cents, which she exhibited proudly to her mistress with the re- mark: “T’'m so fond of music.” NEW USE FOR OLD GLORY.

WEDS CONVICT; NOW WORKS TO FREE HIM Bride Hopes to Gain Pardon For Her Husband, a “Lifer”—First Occurrence In Oklahoma. McAlester, Okla.—“Love laughs at prison bars” is an old saying that was given practical demonstration at the Oklahoma state penitentiary. Etta Martin, a pretty young Spanish girl from St. Louis, became the bride of Jobn Cieloha, Bohemian, who is serv- ing a life sentence for murder. It is the first sentence on record where a life term convict was permit- ted to marry and\the third case of marriage in which an Oklahoma pris- oner appeared as principal. ‘The first case was that of a trusty, who married before marriage license clerk or officiating minister knew of his record. In the other case the cere- mony took place in the warden’s office, but the bridegroom held a parole in one hand. ‘The young bride of John Cieloha ex- pects to bring about the release of her husband through pardon or parole. “If he hadn't escaped from the pent- tentlary he would have stood a much better chance,” suggested a newspaper man in talking with the newlyweds shortly after their marriage. “But if he hadn’t escaped I wouldn't have found him,” was the quick reply ef the young wife. ‘The persistence with which she pur- sued her demand for marriage with a convict leads one to believe that she'll keep her word as to freeing him.

WRONG FELLOW IS HUGGED, ‘Victim Utters Incoherent Words of In- " quiry When Prospective Husband Comes Aldng, and After Apologies He Hurries Her Off to Minister. Parsons, Kan.—Marcella Howland kissed the wrong man. And inasmuch as Marcella at the time of her oscula- tory performance was engaged to be married and ‘the man she kissed was not her prospective husband, she found herself in an embarrassing situation ‘when the real groom hove to and made anxious inquiry as to her affection for another man. If it had been in the good old days of raplers and swords perhaps there would have been a duel, with much blood, but there was none of that, and only a few people at the Katy station were aware of the near ‘tragedy. ‘The story of the kissing and Marcella and the man she kissed and the man she should have kissed adds another chapter to the volumes that have been written about long distance love mak- Ing. This episode might have been labeled “Courtship by Mail, or Wooing by Correspondence.” The story is this, duly attested and sworn to by at least one of the parties concerned: Marcella lives near Joplin and is a helper in a grocery store. A year ago she found the name of James Vandyke in a case of eggs, the said James not being a barber, as his name might in- dicate, but a raiser of chickens and corn near Anadarko, Okla. Marcella wrote to James, and James replied. ‘Then followed a correspondence with each succeeding letter ripened into leve. A month ago it was decided to meet in Parsons end have a minister here perform the ceremony, an elope- ment being considered the proper thing to do. James arrived and spent a restlese afternoon waiting for his bride, who was to come from Joplin on the even- ing train. Came 7:45 o'clock, and with it the train from Joplin and Marcella. James was a bit confused in time and was not at the station. Marcella, wearing & pink carnation by prearrangement, went to the waiting room and sat down to await the arrival of her hus- band to be. ‘Now enter the other side of the tri- angle, whose name for the present is unknown, as he absolutely refused to divulge his identity. His name will be John Doe for this occasion. John en- tered the station and gazed over the crowds. Marcella saw him, and after giving him time to discover her trip- Ped across the room and stood enrap- tured before the astonished man. “Well, here I am, James,” she said demurely, waiting for her fiance to take her in his arms, ete., &te. John gasped, but made no move to- ward her. “Why, you bashful thing.” the girl exclaimed, and with that bounded over to the man, threw her arms about him and planted a kiss upon his lips. John extricated himself as best he could—or would, and was mumbling some incoherent words of inquiry when in came a breathless Vandyke, who had come up just in time to be- hold the performance, and, convinced that some one was making away with his bride to be, rushed up to thwart him. As he approached misgiving spread over Marcella’s face. She had a faint suspicion that she had kissed the wrong man, and this suspicion grew with each step of the excited Vandyke. He stood before her. She looked at Doe and then at Vandyke. Yes, the last man was certainly the one she had come to meet. How could she have mistaken the other fellow for him, al- though their resemblance was quite marked? Then apologies, explanations, assur- ances by Doe to Vandyke that he was an tanscent party opel had no intention to “cop” Marcella,Sand then Marcella Kissed the right man, right there in the station, with a score of people watch- ing her. ‘The couple decided to take the 8:22 train back tp Joplin and be married there. They hurried to a telephone, made an appointment with a minister there and left. GETS BACK HIS SIGHT. Blinded by a Fall, a Man Is Recovering After Eight Years.

The first step is to draw with a pencil the design or the lettering that you wish to appear on the egg. Make only an outline and the leading points of the design. Then melt a small quantity of candle wax in a shallow tin and let it set a little, but while it is still soft take it out of the tin and spread it over the design on the egg. If there is any difficulty in getting the wax to hold touch it here and there with the heated blade of a penknife. "Kissing the Book." When did "kissing the book" be recognized as a part of a lash oath? Master William T priest, who was tried for her fore the archbishop of Canterbury 1407, has in an account of a trial related a conversation a man of law" and a "mast vinity" on the subject of oat man of law spoke of a witness laying his hand on the book upon the master of divinity that chargget him to lay his hand upon the book, touching it an ing by it and kissing it proper Take vinegar enough to cover the egg completely and soak the egg in it for a period that may be half an hour or may be an hour and a half, according to the strength of the vinegar. At the end of that period take the egg out and peel off the wax. The design will then stand up in relief against the rest of the shell, for the acid of the vinegar will have eaten away the uncovered part and left untouched only that part which the wax protected. Youth's Companion. Tipping In ConstantPeople The tipping evil is no joke even in this country. But it has hardly reached the degree of insidiousness marked by this tale from the near east: "On the morning of my departure from Constantinople I gave the letter carrier who had brought my letters during my sojourn here half a medhid as a tip. "In the afternoon a man came up to me and said: 'My lord, I am a stranger to you. You never received a telegram. But may it please you to know that I am the telegraph messenger. May it please you to know that it was up to me to deliver telegrams to you if such had been received for you in our office. I surely would have brought them to you most quickly. I know you will be just and you will not harm a man who has always been ready to serve you. I cannot be blamed that I have never been called upon to be of service to you. I, too, deserve half a medshid." —Bruno's Weekly. Masking the Guns. Against air craft observation one of the first precautions taken is to splash guns, limbers and ammunition wagons with different neutral tints so that they will blend with the ground about them. Any earthworks, pits, etc., that are erected or dug are strewn with leaves and branches and the earth disturbed generally, so that from above nothing unusual shall be spotted by keen eyed air men. A battery of guns is seldom placed along the sky line, for there it is an easy mark. Generally the guns are concealed some distance down the incline in front of the sky line, unless the guns are howitzers, in which case they can be best served from behind the ridge. The idea of placing the guns in front of the ridge is that the rising ground behind them serves as an effectual screen, as the guns themselves are painted to represent earth and foliage—London Standard. He Wanted to Know. The late E. H. Harriman, says the Wall Street Journal, was a stickler for facts. He cared little for an approximate statement. When he asked his employees for information he wanted it definite. While traveling through Nevada one day with a number of the officials of the Union Pacific the train passed a little station with much platform, a bleak background of sagebrush and juniperers and no habitation within sight. "What is that station there for?" asked Mr. Harriman of one of the railway officials with the party. "They ship a few cattle and two or three cars of wool." "Which is it, two or three?" snapped Mr. Harriman. "Which is it? There is a difference of 33 1-3 per cent." Birds as Lamps. The natives of Trinidad'make use of the young guacharo in an unusual manner. The young are very fat and are frequently found to weigh more than the full grown birds. Their fat is used by the natives to produce an oil which is a substitute for butter. Also it is frequently the custom of the natives to draw a wick through the body of a young guacharo and use it as a lamp or candle. Thus the guacharo is sometimes called the oil bird. A. Great Secret. Old Bachelor Uncle—Well, Charlie, what do you want now? Charlie—Oh, I want to be rich. "Rich! Why so?" "Because I want to be petted. Ma- says you are an old fool, but must be petted because you are rich. But it's a great secret, and I mustn't tell it." The Aftermath. Mrs. DuPuy-I was so surprised to hear that Edith and Mr. Sissingham were married. You know they always used to claim their attachment was merely platiconic. Mrs. Kolkremes—Yes. I remember. But now, I fear, they wouldn't claim it was even that.

Bit of Advice. "One of your eyebrows is a trifle awry." "Ah, a bit of misplaced color." "Just so. Hue to the line, my dear."—Exchange. The more virtuous any man is the less easily does he suspect others to be vicious.—Cicero. "Kissing the Book." When did "kissing the book" come to be recognized as a part of the English oath? Master William Thorpe, a priest, who was tried for heresy before the archbishop of Canterbury in 1407, has in an account of his own trial related a conversation between a "man of law" and a "master of divinity" on the subject of oaths. The man of law spoke of a witness merely laying his hand on the book, whereupon the master of divinity said, "He that chargeth him to lay his hand thus upon the book, touching it and swearing by it, and kyssing it, promising in this form to do this thing, will say and witness that he that toucheth thus a book and kisseth it hath sworn upon that book." So the practice is at least 500 years old. "Kissing the book" must have been a familiar practice in Shakespeare's day, for in "The Tempest" there is more than one jocular reference to it. "Swear by this bottle how thou camest hither," says Stephano to Trinculo. "Here, kiss the book," offering him his bottle of sack. There is also legal proof that the practice was well known in the seventeenth century—London Opinion. Being the Vice President: "Isn't it easy to be a vice president?" remarked a young woman who had been sitting in one of the galleries for some time watching the senate work. "Clinch," colloquially responded her escort. But senators know differently, for they are fully aware of what it means to sit hour by hour and pilot their august body through the parliamentary jungles which frequently are confronted. The rules for legislative procedure in the United States senate are practically no rules at all, paradoxical as it may seem. The course of the upper house is guided largely upon precedent and past rulings of vice presidents, and as a consequence the presiding officer must be thoroughly conversant with what his predecessors have done from the time the nation was born. This means long hours of study and extensive reading.—Cincinnati Enquirer. Antiquity of the Ballet. Strictly defined, the ballet is properly a theatrical exhibition of the art of dancing in its highest perfection, complying generally with the rules of the drama as to its composition and form. It was in existence in Italy as far back as A. D. 1500, the court of Turin in that day making especial use of it and the royal family and nobles taking part in it. The ballet was first introduced in France in the reign of Louis XIII, and both that monarch and Louis XIV. occasionally took part in its dances. About the year 1700 women made their first appearance in the ballet, which up to that time had been performed exclusively by men, as was the case also with plays and operas, but no woman ballet dancer of any note appeared until 1750. Laggings of the Marines The stout leggings worn by members of the United States marine corps are not a purely decorative adjunct to their very nasty uniforms, as popularly supposed by civilians, but are a protection for the men against tropical diseases while in foreign service, naval surgeons say. Many of the most dangerous tropical diseases are transmitted by the bites of insects. Among these are malaria, yellow fever, bubonic plague, hookworm, elephantiasis and tropical ulcer. Fleas and mosquitoes are the prime carriers, and they make their first attack upon the ankles, thence working their way over the whole body. The leggings worn by the United States marines afford splendid protection to the ankles against fleas, mosquitoes and infected dirt. Shakespeare Altered. A portable theater had been pitched in an out of the way spot where the prospective theatrical patrons were unsophisticated in matters dramatic. The players possessed the costumes for "Hamlet," and Shakespeare's tragedy was selected for representation. It then occurred to the proprietors of the show that the name might not attract, so they altered the title to "How the Stepfather Was Paid Out"—London Mail. A. Virtue Misplaced. "I ordered this steak not well done," said the impatient guest. "I know it." answered the intellectual waiter. "But the cook is one of those people who believe that no matter how small a thing is it should be well done." New Version.

In thousands of cases practically all the population was born elsewhere. So why stand off when some one moves in from another section? Why be niggarly with neighborliness? Of course one may make an occasional mistake, but for every undesirable acquaintance we find several good people worth knowing. You, your neighbor and the newcomer are problems of your community, and as each of you may be the other two the problem ought to be simple. If you are an older resident greet the newcomer. There is a double blessing in a welcome. In giving you get. If you are the newcomer—well, your duty was never better stated than in these words of Ruskin: "It is a good and safe rule to sojourn in any place as if you meant to spend your life there, never omitting an opportunity of doing a kindness or speaking a true word or making a friend." The way to fill the lonesome hours is to be friendly.—Country Gentleman. - TEENAN JONES’ PLACE | 3445 SOUTH STATE STREET _ | Telephone Douglas 4591 | The finest and most UP-TO-DATE BUFFET and CAFE on the South Side.
