Henry Williams is visiting in Chicago this week. Mr. C. S. Sellars of Buxton made our city a brief business trip Thursday. Mr. Clarence Cameron White was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Gould while here. It is rumored that there will be several parties given for the women of the Federation Club. Mrs. George Wilson arrived here last week from California, where she has spent the winter. She is looking well. Mr. Wm. Mash of Spokane, Wash., arrived in the city Wednesday to attend to some business. He is looking well. A public reception will be tendered to visiting delegates to the Presbyterian Assembly by Club Number 4 of Union Congregational Church. Next week we will have the cuts and self history of some of the leading men attending the Assembly. We would not this week get all their cuts, look for a good issue next week. The May Festival given by the Magnetic Lodge was not so well attended as was expected, because of the heavy rain that night, although fully one hundred people braved the storm and came out, those on programme could not come out on account of the rair; however it was a pleasant crowd and all reported an enjoyable evening. Mr. Chas. Richardson sold his Clive truck farm last week to a man in Ft. Lodge. This is one of the well kept farms owned by one of our race. Mr. Richardson is one of the old settlers who is well fixed for a rainy day. The great Presbyterian Assembly is now in full blast. There are not so many colored men as was first expected. Some very able and representative race men are here and next Sunday all the colored church pulpits will be filled by some of them. A Street Fair will be given in the auditorium of the Corinthian Baptist church Tuesday evening the 22nd and the anspies of Messrs Jno. McClain and James Woods. A fine musical programme and a sketch by McClain and Woods will be rendered and some of the best talent in the city will appear on programme. Admission 10 cents. Mr. Wm. Hampton, the United States Court bailiff for Judge Smith McPherson of Red Oak 'Ia., is in our city attending Federal Court. Mr. Hampton is one of the best and oldest man in point of service as bailiff, and a good representative race man and excellent citizen. Rev. H. W Porter accompanied Rev.

There will soon be a Colored Young Woman Christian Association organized in Ottumwa, Mrs. Wilson (white) of Mississippi will come there to organized the ladies. This will be the first colored Y. W. C. a. in the West. The moving spirit of it is the Westes M. J. Strother, M. I. Gordon and Rev. D. Daval. We wish that they may be successful. Certainly the young ladies of our city need some purifying influences. The Clarence Cameron White violin musical Wednesday evening was a great success. Quite a number of music lovers were out. Mr. White is a very skilled and artistic player on the violin in fact but few in America are better. It shows that the musical talent is par excelent in our race, if only properly developed. The other part of the program was good and the entertainment was faultless. Rev. O. H Duvall of Ottumwa, pastor of the Baptist church there was a Capital City visitor Wednesday. He lectured Wednesday evening at the Maple Street Baptist church on his trip to Texas; after which the ladies of the church tender a reception to him. Mrs. Zetta Robertson was chairman of the committee. Mrs. Chas. Roy read a poster on progress of the church. DeMond Lecture Last Friday night Rev A. L. DeMond of New Orleans, La., lectured at Union Congregational bhurch, subject "Dark Clouds, Brightening Sikes." It was fine, well deliver, d and well received. Rev. DeMond by age, experience and ability handled the great questions uppermost in the minds of the American people. His key thought was that we need better man and women upon the arena of life; better morally, better physically, better intellectually, and the members of our race most look to that view in the end. He says there is a brightening hope for our race coming. DES MOINES-LOLFAX UNION SERSION. On last Sunday May 13th the Odd Fellows and House-hold of Ruth made one of the most successful tips to Colfax that has ever been attempted, although they did not leave until 10:15 a.m. and they carried over 65 people with them, the Colfax lodge was ready with dinner when they arrived, and not only fed both lodges free, but every person that came from Des Moines. This places a new feather in the caps of the Colfax peoples' hospitality. Close to three o'clock a procession was formed in front of the hall, headed by the Newton Masonic brass band, each lodge looked their best and we can safely say that the H. H. of R. of Des Moines never looked better in their life, the fact that the band had chosen a funeral march to start with was the only unpleasant episode of the day, but they made up for it on the home run to the hall with a pretty live one on the return to the hall which was already filled with visitors. We all listened to a sermon by Rev. Samuel Bates of Clarinda, which was to our knowledge the best effort of his life, after taking up a good collection each and every one turned home-ward feeling much better for a day. THE NEED FOR CLEAN MEN. If one were to go to the President of the United States and ask him to name the country's greatest need he would reply in his quick, conclusive way, "Clean Men." He knows Smart men there are by the thousands; rich men abound more than in any other age of the world; able men are found in every State and township, but even from a population of eighty millions the chief executive has difficulty in finding the man of exceptional character for a post which requires a square and flawless morality. It is to his credit that he misses no opportunity to preach manhood. But neither Presidents nor preachers nor teachers can do the work of fathers except in their own families. We do not mean to underestimate the marvelous influence of the mother. In most lands men who reach success gives their mothers the credit. "All that I am I owe to my mother," said Lincoln. "It was you who taught me write so. You really did, dear mother," said the crabbed Carlyle. We get our moral qualities from our mothers, our mental from our fathers; say the physiologists, and as we look back we find this maternal affection the loviest thing on earth. But isn't there a conviction down deep in our souls that we should have done much better if our fathers had taken time and trouble to share our confidence in the years that counted most? — From The Delineator for June.

Titled American Women A remarkable list, collected for the first time, shows that American women have, within a few years, gained 23 titles by marriages into English families, 26 German titles, 14 French, 17 Italian and six Russian. It is further estimated that 160 American nefesses have brought to Europe in dowries no less than £30,000,000, or an average of £187,500 each. In Great Britain the American wives of British husbands help to control about 2,000,000 acres of land. Dried Milk. Australia has adopted the system of drying milk. The milk is dried between steam rollers and sold as a powder, from which nothing but water has been extracted and to which nothing but water requires to be added to make wholesome, clean and sterile milk. A leading medical officer is reported to have said that the adoption of dried milk at some of the asylums for consumptive patients and in general hospitals has proved a success. Fuel from Fallen Leaves. In Paris a company has contracted with the municipal authorities for all the foliage to be derived from the trees of the public squares, gardens, streets and woods within the limits of the city. These leaves are to be compressed under high pressure, and will then be converted in a fuel which, it is claimed, will have a far greater calorific capacity than coal or any other fuel known. Traveling Birds. Sparrows, as a rule, nest anywhere, but the following two cases are perhaps as remarkable as any that can be found. A pair of sparrows actually built a nest in the rack of a train which performed a trip of 200 or 300 miles daily; while another pair attached their home to a busy ferry boat. In both instances a brood was successfully reared. American Student Life Prof. William Ostwald, of the University of Leipzig, who has been lecturing in this country, gives his impression of American student life as follows: "The personal interest of the students, next to their studies, is concentrated alone on sport, which draws their attention altogether from intellectual or aesthetic pursuits."

One were to ask a number of physicians what problem most interests the medical profession to-day, nine out of ten would reply: "The mystery of cancer." There are other disease which are quite as hopeless as cancer, some that are more painful, and some that cause more deaths; but there is hardly another in the face of which physicians confess themselves so helpless. In many directions, says Youth's Companion, the progress of medicine during the last quarter-century, chiefly during the last decade, has been marvelous. The discovery that consumption is not hereditary, and if taken in time may be cured; the association of the mosquito with malaria and yellow fever; the serum treatment for hydrophobia and diphtheria; the isolation of the bacterium of smallpox—these are all recent achievements. Two great foes still defy the doctors. One—pneumonia—which ranks next to the most厉害的 plague" in the number of its victims, has lately been and still is the subject of special study by an association of American physicians; and something has been learned about it. It is known that it is a germ disease, and that its characteristic microbe is nearly always present in the mouth and throat in a state of health; but the knowledge of these facts has not suggested any effective way of dealing with the disease. Regarding cancer, still has been discovered; but in many countries there are now special laboratories, in which the minds of the oldest students of pathology are concentrated upon this one subject. In these researches the United States is bearing its part. Not only are American physicians giving the subject their closest attention as individuals, but a national association for the study of the disease has been formed, and special cancer hospitals have been established in several American cities. In money, also, America is doing its share. Mr. Rockefeller's donations have established an American pathological institute, where original research can be prosecuted by American physicians; and Mr. Carnegie's generosity to a British laboratory has produced results of great promise. From one or another of these medical workrooms may come at any time the joyful message that cancer has been conquered. FOR votin er w app ce csa ce staa the p the p as a as a str and id id al ir ers ers isisy prin ni yo yo the des na NE Engines of Death Electrical cannon are now being planned. A few years ago Prof. Birkeland of Christiana experimented with model electro-magnetic guns, and Capt. Spacil, an Austrian officer, is now dealing with the energy problem He concludes that to impart a muzzle velocity of 600 meters a second to a projectile to be shot from a typical gun would require 600 coils of 22,000 yards of copper wire, weighing 420 kilograms, and, at 181 volts a coil, a current energy of 54,200 kilowatts. These are the same figures that Birkeland gave for his gun, which was to hurl projectiles of 2,000 kilograms with a velocity of 300 yards a second, for which he wanted 1,620,000 kilowatts at 3,000 volts. Power station in existence could produce anything like this energy, but, considering that the energy would be required for only a fraction of a second, special machines might be devised for this purpose. Birkeland suggested that the primary generator should consist of a powerful electro-magnet which was to be shot by explosive power through colls wound around a copper tube. He thus proposed to start from explosive energy in order to obtain after three conversions, electro-magnetic energy for the propulsion of projectiles. Spacil thinks that ways could possibly be found to move large coils at high speeds in rectilinear paths sc as to avoid troubles from centrifugal forces. Social wrongs are corrected not by exposing their results, but by searching for and removing their cause. We have preached against lyche law for a decade, but it increases, says Atlantic. The wisest of American statesmen and public men are to-day recognizing the fact that this preaching law and order will not make it, that there is no stopping this fever in our blood until respect and love for law has taken the place of apathy. Law to be respected, must be made respectable. To get for it the active support of moral men and women, to make them willing to fight to protect its dignity from outrage, it must have vitality—must, as the old deputy marshal said, have "blood and bones." It is stated that Henry H. Rogers has been reappointed superintendent of streets of Fairhaven, Mass.; Alfred Marshall, with an income of $4,000 a week, is running for trustee of Mamoneck; Mrs. Mackay, worth $2,000,000 or $4,000-500, is school director of Roslin, L. I., and two farmers worth $1,000,000 apiece are tied for mayor of Ida Grove, Ia. In the way of a culicide there are few things better than a good hard swipe with the open hand after the insect gets a good hold and can't go quickly. A Connecticut lawyer is especially insistent that a jury shall consist of peers of his client. The latter, charged with murder, was a swart Italian. Six red-headed talesmen accepted by the state were excused by the defense. The lawyer thought men, of darker complexion would give his dark client a fairer trial.

Washington, D. C., May 18—President Roosevelt yesterday transmitted to congress the complete report of Commissioner Garfield on Standard Oil, which was sent to congress on May 4. In sending the complete report to the president, Mr. Garfield took occasion to answer the comments of various railway officers and others on the comments he had made in his exposes. The report covers 500 printed pages. In support of the various allegations made by him, Mr. Garfield prints bodily in the report copies of way bikes, letters of railroad officials, the Standard Oil company, the Standard Oil and independent companies, special oil tariffs, blind bids of lading and secret understandings and agreements of the several railroad companies named with the Standard Oil company. In many instances, the way bikes, the rate paid by the Standard Oil company was only 33 1/3 per cent of the amount stated in the bill. The testimony of employees of railroads is given in confirmation of the bodies that was a concealment of rates granted to the Standard Oil company, although it is alleged in the case of the Chicago & Alton railroad, the general tariff officers admitted the existence of a secret rate and the purpose was to obtain railroads, and not from the shiners. One of the leading freight clerks of the Alton is quoted as testifying that the secret rate was intended only for the benefit of the Standard Oil company, and that had any other instance of the rate not have been given the low rate accorded the Standard Oil company. The report further shows the establishment of through rates from small, inconsequential and in many instances obscure points near large oil refineries. The tariffs were the interstate commerce commission, as evidence that the rates were not secret. But Mr. Garfield maintains that by this arrangement the rates were effectively secret, because any shipper other than the Standard Oil company, in application, would have been required to lined rates from other places in the vicinity of the small points referred to, which in every case were considerably higher. He declares that the railroads recognized the irregularity of the arrangement, "and that they would have to hide the rate from all shippers except the Standard Oil company." Senator Lodge of Massachusetts in discussing the matter, said that he was anxious to have the government control the Standard Oil company, which "has the oil business of the country by the throat."

Chicago.—An amazing story of Standard Oil corruption and bribery, of the systematic training of employees to commit deceitful practices, if not actual crime, wholesale debauching culture, that closed a business record so black as scarcely to be credible in the twentieth century—such a tale was told upon the witness stand Saturday before the Interstate commerce commission. The story was the climax of a three days' investigation, during which former employees turned informers or Standard Oil. It was the day of the independent dealer, and if the record was not correct, a long score in which the debt she heretofore was largely in favor of the Standard company. After hearing the revelations of alleged crime committed to drive independent dealers out of business, of deceit practiced to convince dealers that there was no vulture save in Standard Oil products; of men's honor purchased by wholesale that Standard Oil monopoly might be strengthened and increased, of a well-kept school for crime which was, perhaps, no better and no worse than that of the celebrated Fagin of story-book, the commission adjourned to meet again in Cleveland and to meet again in Chicago, he heard the independent refineries' side of the Standard's alleged oppression and sinister, if not illegal, methods employed in securing a firm grasp upon the oil trade. The commission also succeeded in securing the first evidence regarding the secret and mysterious six-cent rate which the Standard Oil company, according to Commissioner Garfield's report, enjoyed for years.

Some of the most beautiful sights are found in the sea—the coral reefs and the sunken gardens, filled with strange marine plants. Some marine animals live only in the purer water, others only in the foulest water; for every condition there is a life to fit it. In all sea basins, hills and ridges, in all beaches and deep holes, ooze, and the underwater world, the skeletons of marine animals, changed by time into slime and stone. Some of the animals of the ocean have no eyes, having no need of them; others have a hundred eyes. The largest animal and the tiniest animal are found in the sea. In places the sea is 30,000 feet deep. Its average depth is over 12,000 feet. Twice 24 hours the water rises and falls. At the entrance to the Bay of Fundy the rise at spring tide is no more than 10 feet. The natural power that controls the tide is a tremendous one. And the plant life in the ocean is almost as remarkable as the animal life. Learned men have been studying it for centuries and are only beginning to understand it.

While "playing hookey" one morning from school for the purpose of watching the Sells-Floto circus unload at Des Moines, little Silden Carlisle, 7-year-old son of John Carlisle, was trumped down and fatally injured by a horse. The horse was hit by a carriage and the little fellow, dazzled by the floats and wagons, walked directly into the path of the runaway nurse. The home of Walker Teter, just outside of Pleasantville, was burglarized a few nights ago. Some unknown person entered the house while the family was sleeping, and besides extracting $17 in cash from Mr. Teter's trousers pocket, helped himself to an umbrella and other small articles of more or less value. The Pantry was also ransacked and the kitchen was finally enjoyed a nice lunch before leaving. There is no clue to the thief. Stockholders of the Oskaloosa & Buxton road, in a meeting a few days ago, indorsed the proposals of the directors of the road to increase the capital stock to $750,000, acquire a local light, heat and street car plant, and proceed at once to the construction of the interurban to Buxton. Under the provisions of the tax voted, the capital stock was raised in 1906. Contracts have already been let for grading as far as Beacon. One thousand out of thirteen hundred shares of stock voted and only five votes were against the measure. More emphasis has been accorded to proposition any ever presented to the citizens. While attempting to snowe nur baby out of danger of being killed by a switch engine, Mrs. Cora Johnson of South Madison street, Des Moines, jumped from a fourteen foot embankment at the K. & D. tracks, South Des Moines, seriously injuring herself. She was found by pedestrians lying beside the track. Mrs. Johnson was wheeling her baby in a go-cart. While crossing the railroad track she noticed a switch engine rapidly running down on her. Not having time to reach the opposite sidewalk out of the way of the engine, she jumped from the embankment and grabbed her baby carriage her. The little child was not injured in the fall. The Sheldon State bank which failed at Sheldon in November, 1908, has just paid a dividend of 43 per cent, and the depositors are happy over the prospect of getting about 25 per cent. care when the appeals now taken to the supreme court are decided as to the claims of preferred demands as to the claims by Judge B. H. C. Dewdan was paid out of a fund obtained in a compromise from the old stock holders of the old Sheldon bank, which was merged into the Sheldon State bank. It is now thought that none of the preferred claimants who be successful in the supreme court, will pay over 75 per cent, which is much better than was expected. An unknown boy, believed to be from Des Moines from clothing found on the body, was killed in a railroad accident in Ottawa, Kas. The lad wore a suit of clothes bearing the mark, "Simone." A hat bearing the trade mark "Frankles" was found near the body. Chief Jones received communication from the sheriff at Ottawa, describing the boy. From the information given, the youth has been identified as Guy Chase of Highland Park; Burdick, 1604 South Sixth street; Benjamin Perdue, 1001 Center street, and Arthur Bayles of 1049 Thirteenth street. Relatives of Guy Chase believe that he was killed in Ottawa. The description given by the Kansas officer tallies with that of the body. Des Moines he purchased a suit of clothes at Simon's store and a hat at Frankel's. The board of regents of Iowa University voted to build a college of law, a woman's dormitory, a new physics building in addition to the engineering building with the million dollar miliage tax voted by the legislature, the work to start soon after the completion of the hall or natural science.

The dead body of Mrs. Willia Arnold, who lives with her husband in rooms at Mrs. L. B. James' residence, 707 West Fourth street, Des Moines, was found in the bathroom of the house. The cause of the death is not known, and one whose annu has all the semblances of a mystery. Mrs. W. B. James said that she died from the excessive heat in the bathroom, caused by a gas water heater. Jacob Loes, Jr., 22 years of age, and a well known man at Furley, accidentally shot and killed himself at Cascade. THE PRESIDENT IS ASSAILED BITTERLY ATTACKED BY SENA TORS BAILLE AYE AND TILLMAN Former Immediately Refutes Charge of Betraying Demo- Court of Arbitration Washington.—There was a series of sensational incidents in the senate late Saturday afternoon, which reached a climax when President Roosevelt took the extraordinary step of telephoning a direct denial of charges made against him and having his denial read in the senate. The event is perhaps without precedent in the history of the republic Senators Bailey and Tillman violated unwritten law by making a direct attack upon the president in debate. The president shattered all tradition by making a direct personal reply to the charges made against him. The incidents included the reading of a written statement by Sonatof Tillman charging the president with betraying the Democratic senator by standing on behalf of the railroad rate bill with the understanding that the president would cling to his original position against an amendment permitting court re view. Following this Senator Bailey in dugal in a violent attack on the president. He charged that the executive had surrendered his position advocating "an effective measure"; that he had abandoned his demands for tariff revision; that the president's arraignment of trusts had been after his election and that force had been "as silent as the grave" on the subject of regulating the railroads. The senator closed with this statement "Let us have no more talk in the senate and talk in the country about this iron man. He is clay, and very common clay at that." Senator Tillman in his attack on the executive charged that President Roosevelt had asked ex-Senator Chandler to request that he rally enough Democratic votes to carry the Hepburn bill through and save it from any injurious amendment with the president and that after having fulfilled his part of the agreement, the president deliberately backed down Senators Dolliver, Clapp and Carter defended the president against these attacks, the former pointing to the president as "the most superb moral leadership the American people ever had." He also praised Senator Allison, who had, he said, been his guide and counselor throughout the war. He asked the question. Mr. Carter said he believed the president had been consistently in favor of the house bill. Senator Lodge, speaking for the president, said that the president had denied as unqualifiedly false the statement of Senator Tillman attributed to ex-Senator Chandler that Senators Foraker, Knox and Spooner were trying to defeat the rate bill by constitutional amendments. A statement from ex-Senator Tillman was later given out by Senator Chandler that he iterated the statements promoted by President Roosevelt as "unqualifiedly false." Washington.—A lengthy statement bearing on the rate bill incident in the senate was issued by the White House Monday evening. The president says that his own opinion that Mr. Allison's amendment in no way changed the scope of the court review as presented to the senate, and also the opinion of Attorney General Moody and Secretaries Root and Taft. He adds that to as none of the amendments did he say to Mr. Chandler or anyone else that he should insist upon having them in the bill as a condition of his approval. Washington.—Senator Tillman Tuesday took issue with the president in the Chandler controversy, declaring that he felt under obligations to defend ex-Senator Chandler and place him in the office. He refuted the statement made by the president that he did not send for Mr. Chandler. Senator Tillman said the letter from Mr. Leo to Mr. Chandler invited the latter to visit the president Chicago Traction Companies Lose.

DOLLIVER IN ABLE DEFENSE iowa Senator Made the Great Speech of Present Congress To Date FIRST WORDS FOR DEFENSE Heard by Audience That Crowded by the Senate Chamber—Efforts of Presiding Officer Could Not Prevent Expressions Of Approval. Des Moines, March 2.—A Washington special to the Register and Leader says: "Senator Dolliver yesterday made what was everywhere accepted as the great speech of the present congress to date. It was the opening gun for the rate regulation forces in the battle which will be waged in the Senate with little intermission until a vote is secured. The Iowa immediately followed Senator Foraker, who on Wednesday delivered the first speech of the president's policy, and it has been widely commented that while Aldrich, Elkins and other extreme conservatives insist that they are for regulation if they can only be sure that it is safe and sane, they put forward as spokesman of their side the one man who has declared himself against all government regulation. "Senator Dolliver never lacks for an audience when it is known that he is to speak; but yesterday he had the greatest audience that ever listened to him in congress. The senate galleries were crowded and hundreds were turned away before the session opened. Senator Porater who was the senate's longest speaking yesterday, was conspicuous as almost the only absentee among the senate's membership. Scores of members of the house came over to listen to Dolliver, and the senate floor was thronged by these. Around all the walls of both chamber and galleries were continuous lines of people, who listened throughout the session. The galleries applauded from time to time, despite the stern disapproval of the presiding officer, and at the conclusion Mr. Dolliver received congratulations for a quarter of an hour." Washington, D. C., March 2—That interest in the railroad rate question continues unabated was made manifest again yesterday by the large audience when greeted Mr. Dolliver from the senate galleries when he rose to speak on the Dolliver-Hepburn bill. From the first the Iowa senator has been the champion of the policy of giving the interstate commerce commission full authority and the friends of the house bill have expected him to take a leading part in pressing the consideration of a bill authorizing standing boards been placed in charge of another senator. His was the first speech made in support of the bill. Mr. Dolliver began his speech at 12:30 p. m., immediately after the order of the routine business. That order included the passage of bills authorizing the disposition of surplus lands on the Yakima Indian reservations in Washington. Mr. Dolliver spoke without notes. He began with a compliment to Mr. Cullom, of whom he spoke as the father of interstate commerce business and to Mr. Nelson, the author and bill presented to the last congress. The senator then outlined the bill, pointing out wherein it amends the existing interstate law, saying that, after all, the changes were comparatively few. Of undermining the law the bill fortifies it," he said, and he declared that if the present law had been treated with the reverence and sanctity it deserved the American people would have approached the subject in a frame of mind different from that which now prevailed. The companies were unable to protect themselves against the "flagger abuses" of the private car companies under section 1 of the present law. He had not favored the abolition of these cars, but he did believe that the car companies were regulated by making responsible the railroad companies employing them. Speaking of the interstate commerce commission he discussed Judge Grosseau's recommendation for a specific court but he did not accept the theory advanced for the reason the commission suffered for all purposes. He recognized the fact that it had become fashionable to speak slightly of the interstate commission and defended that body against such attacks. He expressed the opinion that if the lawyers had dealt as fairly with the commission as with the courts the result would have been Mr. Dolliver declared he did not expect a protracted vendetta between the railroads and the community, believing that when the law was enacted it would be observed by carrier and shipper alike. He predicted that within five years there would be boards of arbitration of the commerce so that appeals to the commission would be the rule rather than the exception. He recognized the fact that the question of appeal to the courts from the orders of the commission was the battleground and he declared that the commission had the right to door the court open for the protection of all constitutional rights. He temporarily left that point and took up the rebate question, saying that he did not agree with either Mr. Foraker or Mr. Bacon that second order. He did not believe the Elkins bill adequate for protection against these practices. "The difficulty about rebates is not the punishing violations of the law," he said. "We have to understand that and we have undertaken to amend the law so as to cover that defect." Prizefighter Dies From Blow, San Francisco, Cal.

The winter palace was built by the empress Anne on the site of a house given to Peter the Great by one of his admirals. Finished after several interruptions in 1762, it was largely destroyed by fire in 1837, and immediately rebuilt. Its furnishings are said to be gorgeous. Dropper Her False Teeth. A passenger on an English railway train pulled the "communication cord" the other day and stopped the train. When the guard came to the compartment in which the cord had been pulled he found a distracted woman passenger. She had been looking out of the window and had dropped her false teeth. She wished to go back and find them. Horseshoes In History Even horseshoes have been made to serve the purpose of extravagance and display. Sabina Poppae, the beautiful and luxurious wife of the Roman emperor, Nero, is said to have owned a horse, and the world over, horseshoes are supposed to possess some occult power of attracting luck and warding off evil. Willing to Teach. A farmer was in the city hunting for a boy who wanted a farm. The boy could earn a home with food, clothing and education and a future chance to rent a farm, make money and in time buy it. Some men are buying them, but some men are losing them. Is it due to education—Earl M. Pratt. London Police Court Decision "Sleeping in the open air can only be practiced with safety from arrest by wealthy persons, or those who can show that they have plenty of means and are doing it for experiment—and then only so long as no obstruction is caused," said the magistrate of a London police court the other day. Warrior's Death-Bed Toast Gen. De Sonnaz, Italian senator at Rome, before dying, and just after he had received the Last Sacrament, expressed a desire to put on his uniform. He then called for champagne, and drank with those around his bed, "To the health of the King and the prosperity of the country." Juliet Ahead of Modern Girl The mode of procedure in courtship has indeed altered since Shakespeare's days. He made Juliet first confess her love.

Care for Prisoners' Teeth Care for Poor Teeth Toothbrushes and tooth powder are to be supplied to all the Inmates of the Austrian prisons With Only One Toe. It is not generally known that the small feet of Chinese ladies have commonly but one toe. This is, however, the fact. The great toe of the females of the first rank, and some of the inferior classes also, is the only one left to act with any freedom; the rest are doubled under the foot in their tenderest infancy, and retained by compressed and tight handages till they unite with, and are buried in the sole. Privileges of Lady Mayoress Among the numerous privileges enjoyed by the lady mayoress of London during her husband's year of office is that of "entree" at court.
