Last week the familiar sound of the school bells announced the opening of 1906 school year in the middle west, especially our common public school, and hundreds of teachers along with nuns and monks are enrolled. It is a glorious sight to see a great opportunity for the children of this age, for only a few years ago our parents were not permitted to go to school at all, and now how anxious ought the children be to go and care for them, and their children go. Do not lose these golden opportunities, for they only come to us once.

The above is a true likeness of Mr. J. Simpson Bacon of Sloux City, Iowa, one of the successful business young men of the northwest. He was born in Christian county, Kentucky, in 1866. May 12, 1901, he came to Sloux City, Iowa, where he opened a shoo shining parlor, where he made money. Later he went into the hotel business. He received the common school education in Indiana. He has Wm. H. Crawford. We present to our readers the cut of Wm. H. Crawford of Alton, Ill., who will give several recitals at the churches of our city. The program consists Shakespeare's works. Recital in Hamlet as Prince of Denmark, Act I; Long live the king, Act II, Ghost scene, Act III. Hamlet and Lords, Act IV. How like an angel, Act V, Hamlet's proud death, Mr. Crawford represents from two to twenty-four people in each scene or act. It is the finest drama ever displayed on any stage by one man in the world. He will be in St. Louis, Mo., two months; 54 nights in all the churches of that city EDITOR'S OBSERVATIONS. Omaha, Neb. In this metropolis of Nebraska we found ourselves wandering. Here lives perhaps eight to ten thousand colorful men and women. But the most other large cities, more are not doing so well as they should or would if they would go out into the smaller towns or country. Here we found eight colored churches and missions, three A.

Here we found the colored people doing tolerably well. Rev. M. G. Newman is the pastor of the A. M. E. church and they seem to be doing nicely. Their new church is not yet complete. Mr. Chas. F. Davis is perhaps the most enterprising and succeeds in a ten acre truck farm in the city limits south of the town and has moved down on it. He still owns the barber shop, saloon and rooming house on Broadway street. As we run his biography a few issues a go I will not say any more. The folks in M. and Mrs. W. D. Moore follow us and are going to Chicago. Ill. G. W. Levitt is still running his boarding house and is doing well. He is a hustler. Lee a brother, William, in the Chicago postoffice.

He is a widower, his wife having died about one year ago. We will soon print the picture of his flats. Burger has opened a restaurant and lunch room and seems to have a good business.

His brother Henry lives on his eighty acre farm and is a rural mail carrier. Garfield. The county has a large county, the home of Hon. William P. Hephur, the senior member from Iowa in the lower branch of congress and one of the most influential members here, we find about 600 colored people. Several are doing well. Mr. Thos.

Fifth avenue was the last stronghold of the old-time New York coach, and having an old-time New Yorker feel a touch of melancholia, for there is an element of conservatism in us all which dislikes a rude break with the past. The future sponsors of American war vessels who follow the precedent of saying: "i christen thee," etc., etc. might take a lesson in English from Princess Henry of Battenberg, who, when she broke the garlanded bottle of wine—the gift of the Australian commonwealth—on the largest British battleship, exclaimed: "I name the sail Bellophon, and I wish to be her and to all who sail in her."

Nearly every business contributor bits of specialized knowledge to the common fund. It will strike many readers as a curious piece of information that plate glass insurance companies have decided to class windows with black lettering on them as "extra hazardous" rists.

By this means, it is stated, an unequal expansion is produced throughout the plate; and under the influence of a sudden gust of cold or any other quick change of temperature, a strain is developed which may break the glass.

At Ottumwa Chicken Thief Drops CHAIN BREAKS AND KILLS TWO Ronald Wescott and John Burdick of Etherdville. Meet Death. His Roll by Reost. Ottumwa—An Ottumwa chicken woman has just disposed of nine chickens, the plainest sort of barnyard fowls, for a little over $900 for the lot. The purchaser of the chickens thought he was getting them at a bargain, in fact, when he bought them, he would suppose for even a second that they would ever cost him a cent. Both the woman and the man were unintentional parties to the transaction, and while the woman is decidedly pleased with her end of the bargain, there is little question but that the man is much set back over what he supposed would be a free chicken feast. Who are the parties are the police refuse to say, but here is the story as it reached them; A few days ago the woman, who lives near the Garfield school in the east end of the city, missed a couple of her chickens over night. Another night or two passed without incident, but then came the surprise, for one morning when the woman went feed her chickens and to respond to her an investigation of the chicken house revealed the fact that all the chickens were gone. However, nearby the woman discovered a pocketbook containing a little over $800 in currency. Joyfully the woman handed over the money. Here was revenge that was sweet indeed. During the same afternoon a strange man came to the house and stated that he was out to buy chicken. Anxious that the would-be chicken buyer should have every bit of information he desired, the woman escorted him around the house to the chicken house, and then hiked to the minutest investigation. He examined every inch of the ground about the chicken house, every little corner of the coop itself, and even went so far as to examine the yards adjoining on either side. Even this did not thoroughly satisfy him and he finally went away with a sorely disappointed expression playing over his countenance, while the woman, with the proceeds of her own death, in the bosom of her dress, smiled on the departing figure of the man.

Kendall has been formerly announced as a candidate for congress in the Sixth district in the columns of the Albina Republican. The announcement occasions no surprise for it has been announced that Mr. Kendall would seek the republican nomination and attempt to win back the toga so long worn but lost to the republicans at the last election by Major Lacey. Major Lacey it is understood will not be a candidate for the congressional nomination. Judge M. A. Roberts of Otter Creek County are other names already in the field for the nomination. EDITOR IS GUILTY. Logan.—A. H. Sniff, editor of the Harrison County News of Missouri Valley, is guilty of manslaughter. This is the verdict returned by the judge. Sniff's claim of self-denance was of little avail, the story told by himself on the witness stand being flatly refuted by other witnesses. An appeal will probably be taken. Veggmen Fail to Crack Safe. Burlington—An attempt was made to埋下Mittalown State Savings Bank. It is supposed to be the work of veggmen. Entrance was gained by forcing a window. The Blossor safe, stealing near the window, was widened dynamically and exploded, ruining the combination, but it failed to open the door. The crackmen were evidently frightened away. They made their escape on a ladder. The car has not been found. Nothing is missinb from the bank. Wholesaler Pays His Fine. Sac City—E. E. Statton, who had been maintaining a liquor nuisance or Odebelt, pleased guilty to a charge of theft, and was fined $200 and costs in the case, and went to fall in default of payment.

Indictment is For Murder. Marshillown. The final report of the grand jury returned an indictment of murder to killing John H. Lapey of Gifford. CHAIN BREAKS AND KILLE TWO Ronald Wescott and John Burdick of Eff尔维尔城 Meath Death Esterhille—An accident, resulting in the death of Ronald Wescott and John Burdick, both of Esterhille, oo, curved near Dunnell, Minn. These were the center of the crew of Arnet and Lesher, who ran a large ditcher. The power is furnished through large capatans to which are hitched eight horses on the end of a fifteen on twenty-foot sweep. It was here that the accident occurred. The chair which was attached to the sweep was hitched to the horses allowing the sweep to fly back and catch the two men directly behind it. One was killed instantly. The other lived several hours. This is the third accident that has occurred with this firm of ditchers, though the sweep was killed when Arthur Hunt was killed while driving one of the teams across the railroad tracks something breaking, allowing a loose end to hit him in the head, causing an injury from which he died in a few hours. The sweep was also injured severely in some manner, but has recovered. DEATH IN CYCLONE. Awful Wind and Hall Storm Nest Dee, Maine Des Moines—Out of a terrorizing curtain of greenish elements which spread over Des Moines and the surrounding vicinity on the evening of the 7th, a demoniacal rain, hail and wind storm of a cyclonic nature came down and in an instant swept over a city, destroying buildings and destruction and thousands of awe stricken people. Coming out of the northwest the torrado rushed through the heart of Valley Junction, demolishing houses, injuring people and throwing freight over the city's fiefs. After playing havoc there the storm swept Ingersoll park and the western portion of the city and then spreading southward only the edges of the strip touched the business district of Valley Junction the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Colum was struck and left in a heap of ruins 200 yards away. When the debris was cleared away the aged woman was found dead, not from injury, so much as from fright. The residence of Martin Cleary at Valley Junction was literally mashed to pieces. Tony Wheeler on Rampage in Waterloo Jail. Waterloo.—Tony Wheeler assaulted Ed Lachout during a card game in the county jail and chewed off one of his cheeks. Wheeler is awaiting trial on two counts already, for attempt to murder, having stabbed Ed Ettinger July 20 while working with a paving gang in Waterloo.—John Gould of Mason City July 25, while both were incarcerated in the county jail. In jail Wheeler attempted an assault on Lachout of Cedar Falls with a chair but was prevented by Charles Cotter. Wheeler made a second assault and bit out a piece of Lachout's cheek.

He will be denied all privileges of mingling with the other men from now on and must eat and sleep in his own cell, only being allowed in the corridor at stated times for exercise. Shoulder, Four Ribs and One Leg Broken. Adair—J. W. Lees of this city was killed in a runaway accident about five miles southeast of Adair on a running swiftly when he was thrown from the wagon and in some manner got caught and was dragged a considerable distance. The injured man was taken at once to a nearby farm where he was treated. Mr. Lees suffered considerable in jury about the head, his left shoulder, four ribs and his right leg were broken. He lived about an hour and was conscious to within a few moments of his death. HEAD IS NEARLY AMPUTATED Body of Negro Found on Tracks With Head Almost Severe's. Ottumwa—The mungled body of Charles Gillman, colored, was found lying on the Burlington tracks just east of the city. The head was alm- est severed and it is believed that he was struck by a bullet that struck while walking along the track. A few days ago he was arrested for being drunk and was given fifteen days in jail. He was treated as a "trustie," however, and was sent down town with some money to make some purchases. He failed to return and was sent to his whereabouts until his body was found. TWELVE WERE KILLED. Cedar Falls—Twelve men were instantly killed and an equal number seriously hurt in the wreck of the Rock Island passenger No. 31 three miles west of here on the 9th. Two of the injured died at the hospital, the total dead fourteen. The wreck was the dead foursquare, the tender breaking, the袋gage and mail cars behind it telescoping the smoker and chair car, and grinding the former to small bits. Splinter Kills Iowa Falls Boy, Iowa Falls—A silver in his foot caused the death of Gottfried, the 17-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. George Gearman of Franklin County in Franklin County. A few days before his death, the young man ran a silver in his foot near the instep. Little was thought of the injury as few days later, however, blooms set in, and all efforts to save the young man's life were unavailing. One Remedy Appearances Indicate Nobleman Had Never Tried. The earl of Surrey, afterward eleven duke of Norfolk, who was a no-norious gourmand and hard drinker and a leading member of the Beef steak club, was so far from cleanly in his person that his secret was that he wore a life of drunkenness, which were pretty frequent, by the way—for the purpose of washing him. On these occasions they stripped him as they would a corpse and performed the needful ablutions. He was equally notorious for his horror of clean then. One day, on his complaining to Dudley North at his club, that he had become a perfect martyr to rheumatism and tried every possible remedy without success the latter wily replied: "Prince, did you ever try a clean whirl?" BRUTALITY OF MEDICAL ETHICS. A Great Burgeon Barred from Membership in Medical Association. (From the National Drugstaff for June, 1907.) Dr. Augustus Charles Bernays, who died a few days ago in St. Louis, was, probably, the foremost surgeon in the United States. His work was vital to the civilized world. He was not only an operator of the highest order, but a tireless and exhaustive worker in the field of original surgery. He performed the first successful Caesarian section in 1889 in St. Louis, and also the first successful coelotomy for gunshot wound of the abdomen and the first gallstone operation in Missouri. A record held by Dr. Bernays has never been equaled: Out of eighty-one successive operations, six were associated operations, seventy-one in succession were with perfectly satisfactory results, the seventy-second patient falling of recovery, but the subsequent nine cases were successfully treated. And yet, with such a record, matchless as was his skill, varied and extensive as was his learning, wonderful as were his accomplishments, he was not considered, by the American military, by theathy of embarkers in that organization. No charges were ever brought against him which, in the remotest degree, reflected on his qualifications as a surgeon; his moral character was sever the subject of attack; he was never accused of having done anything unbecoming a man or a gentleman. "The head and front of his offending had this extent—no more!" He dared to think! He refused to mold his opinions and to govern his actions the art of the artifice, those whom he now to be in inferiors had set up for his guidance! In other words, he could not regard the Code of Ethics of the American Medical Association as being inspired, or having any binding authority on him where his judgment told him it was wrong. And so, twenty years ago or more, on account of some trivial infraction of this sacred "Code," a movement was started to expel him from the local association, which was the reason his hastily sending in his resignation. To the A. M. A. is dependent upon membership in the local and State societies, his name was dropped by the national organization. And so, though he had saved thousands of lives; though other physicians' had profited by his art; this brilliant surgeon; this great and able man, has, during all these years, been an outcast, a medical "seabird," not recognized as "ethical" or worthy of fellowship by that body of physicians banded together in the American Medical Association. And this is the association which, under pretense of working for the public good, is, in reality, only seeking to control Congress and the State Legislatures in the interest of their own selfish schemes; which is trying to create a Cabinet position and to place one of its members in that position; which is endeavoring by law to exclude from the use of the mails, all manufacturers of medicines who do not comply with the absurd requirements that they choose to set in place in short, is trying to put upon the state the laws of national laws that will, in effect, establish a kind of medical priesthood, to which only their own members will be eligible with power and control over the health and lives of the people! God help the druggists, the drug manufacturers, physicians not members of their guild, and the people generally, if this association ever succeeds in its undertaking. If it does, it will, after the fashion of the labor unions, dictate a "closed shop," and say to doctors who prefer to be independent, "You must join our union, or falling to do so, compel them to get out of the business. It will say what medicines shall be taken, and how they shall be made. It will wedge the people about with a lot of petty regulations under pretence of protecting public health. In fine, a medical institution was established to tyrannize over the journal. Let no man call this a false alarm. If there are those who are inclined to do so, let them read the journal of the A. M. A. Let them scan the proceedings of the association, held always behind closed doors, and carefully edited, as they are, before they are published in its official organ. If they will do this they will see that we are not trying to create a bugaboo to frighten their timid souls. A Foina Bird An Irishman who wasn't much of a hunter went out to hunt one day, and the first thing he saw to shoot at was a blue jay sitting silently on the top of a fence. He blasted away at the bird and then walked over to pick it up. What he happened to find there was a frog, which he raised carelessly at the watering hole at it with a penned air. Finally, he fell to the Well, beggar, but ye was a devil of a feline looking bird before Olwie thither Ethers of o'erwell'—Judge J. beary. If a man speaks or acts with pure ought, happiness follows him like a yellow that never leaves him— COPPER DEADLOCK TEN THOUSAND MINERS LAID OFF IN BUTTE. OVERPRODUCTION IS CAUSE New York, Sept. 13.—A crisis in the copper situation due to a deadlock between the producer and the consumer has resulted in a tremendous over production of the metal and the Amalgamated Copper company, the largest producer of copper in this country, will soon shut down its mines in and about Butte, Mont. News of the intended suspension of operations there was made known today by an interest closely identified with the company. Amalgamated stock fell over four points on the stock exchange when the news became known, and the shares of the company sold down to $60.25, which is sixty-one percent the high year. It is said that the suspension at the Butte mines will throw 10,000 men out of work. The Amalgamated company has had difficulty in obtaining an adequate supply of fuel at Butte mines, and has been unable to cause for the shutdown. The Amalgamated Copper company along with other copper companies has been biling up a large surplus of copper for several months and it is authoritative that the copper supply be of 250,000,000 pounds of refined copper in the United States. The present situation developed from the seeming inability of the producer and the consumer to reach a price for the metal that would prove satisfactory. The selling price of copper in the copper markets increased in the copper markets of the world, but the consumer has steadfastly refused to purchase when needs were pressing. The official price for copper has been lowered from 25 cents to 18 cents a pound by Copper producers on the metal exchange in their efforts to tempt the buyer have gradually cut the price of copper to 15% for electrolytic, which figure was reached today. A consequence of this acute situation copper stocks have accumulated rapidly. The production of refined copper in September, it was stated today, will be 6,000,000 pounds less than last month. There were reports in the financial district this afternoon that certain banks have increased their loans, more copper metal in their loans. How 'ang it will take to dispose of this vast surplusage of copper is problematical and cannot be determined until a price for the metal has been reached which will cause heavy losses. The metal is resumed there may be a 'readjustment which was put into effect some time ago when copper was selling for over 20 cents a pound. The miners agreed that if the price of copper fell below 20 cents they would agree to a price of $1.00. Henry H. Rogers, president of the Amalgamated Copper company is now ill at his summer home in Fair Haven, Mass. J. W. Beck, counsel for Mr. Rogers, announced in court in February that he had been ill since July and that he would not be able to appear in court for at least three months. London has been a heavy seller of copper stocks for some time. Prices of the metal in England have been less than $1.00. Copper stocks in Boston were also under heavy pressure yesterday. TAFT SAILS FOR FAR EAST. Secretary Embarks on the Minnesota at Seattle Seattle, Wash., Sept. 13—Wm. H. Tailt sailed an 1 o'clock yesterday on the steamship Minnesota.

WOULD CURB COURT'S POWER Nebraska Executive Says Federal Court is Too Powerful Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 13—Because of the restraining order granted by Judge Munger in federal court to prevent the railway commission promulgating the new grain rate schedule, he ordered the today declared himself in favor of the amendment taking from the federal courts the right to enjoin officials from the enforcement of state laws. The courts have abused the privilege of enforcing such action," said the governor. "Too many state laws have been tied up by the interference of federal courts. I do not believe the makers of the law have contemplated such a use of injunction in the hands of the federal courts." **Ship Them East.** Vancouver can be seen East. subcription headed by Mayor Beethtune with $100 on Wednesday night had grown to $1,500. Vancouver citizens will charter a train and place on the boat who arrived on the steamer Montague, a day later and ship them to Ottawa the seat of the federal government of Vancouver with compliments. There were a great number of Japs and British soldiers, who in Hindu formed the greater part of the cargo. The dock was roped off and heavily armed guards cared for the company's property.

DETROIT ARE - PAWS PEACE FOR CENTRAL AMERICA REPRESENTATIVES FROM FIVE REPUBLICS COFER. Best of Will Prevail—Mr. Adee and Senor Godoy of Mexico Assist in Preliminary Meeting. Washington. — Practical agreement on the main points and general good will marked the preliminary meeting Wednesday in this city of the representatives of the five Central American republics to carry out the suggestion of the United States and Mexico for a permanent peace understanding. After a session of several hours, a conference of was adjourned Monday next. Those who participated in the meeting and the respective governments represented by them were as follows: Senor Calvo, Costa Rica; Senor Coroa, Nicaragua; Senor Herrat, Guatemala; Senor Meja, Salvador; Dr. Garte, Honduras; Assistant Secretary of State Adee, and Senor Godoy, Mexico. Messra Adee and Godoy addressed the Central American representatives in Spanish. Each spoke of the importance of the meeting and the benefits to be derived from an everlasting peace. A fact that is first American representatives, Messra Adee and Godoy remained throughout the session. None of the parties to the conference would disclose the nature of the questions discussed, pleading that no conclusions had been reached. It was learned, however, that the best of the parties to the conference were gone into with great care and an evidently sincerne desire to reach a complete understanding, The only point on which any hitch occurred was that relating to the protocol to be signed. Two of the Central American representatives, under their instructions, were without authority to sign the document without first submitting it to their governments for approval. When the meeting said it was possible that this might involve some trouble and perhaps the changing of the protocol in some important particulars. Some delay, therefore, is expected to be caused by reason of this fact. It is not doubted, however, that a permanent peace pact will be entered into. "Everything was exceedingly encouraging," said Mr. Adee Wednesday night, "and the utrust good nature program." Mr. Adee said it gratified both himself and Senor Godoy to be called into the conference and that they gave the representatives the benefit of such counsel as was desired. WILL MAKE MOROCCO PAY. French Cabinet Decides to Demand Indemnity. Paris.—A special meeting of the cabinet was held Monday to consider the Moroccan situation. The following conclusions were reached: 1.

Indemnities should be fixed by an international commission. Meyer for a Parcel Post. Marblehead, Mass. — Postmaster General George, Von L. Meyer, who was a speaker at the annual outing of the Essex Republican club held at the Corinthian Yacht club here Tuesday, outlined some of his plans for the conduct of the post office. He said that one of his recommendations to congress this fall would be for a bill to establish a parcel post. He spoke enthusiastically of his project for postal savings banks. Baseball Field Day Records. Cincinnati—The first official baseball records that this country has ever known were made here Wednesday in the Bowlers' day baseball field events at the league park previous to the Cincinnati-Pittsburg game. Five of the records were white while none of the records equaled the uniform marks of bygone stars, yet it is safe to say that they will stand for some time to come. The main feature was the performance of Sheldon Le Juene, of Springfield, O., who threw a ball 399 feet 10% inches. Walt Special Flag Day. Sandusky, O.—An effort is to be made by members of the United Spanish-American veterans to have December 1, next, observed as a special flag day in honor of the sailing of the fleet of warships for the Pacific coast in command of Admiral Evana. A motion to this effect was presented by Past Commander Charles R. Miller, of Cleveland, at the opening of the fourth annual encampment of the veterans at Cedar Point. The motion was adopted with cheers and a waving of flags. Ten Thousand Veterans in Parade at Saratoga. Saratoga, N. Y.—The Grand Army of the Republic held its parade Wednesday—its forty-first—in memory of the days of war. Ten thousand veterans, the remnant of the once victorious army whose scores of thousands passed in review at the national capital when the war was over, braved a driving storm to march again beneath their beating. Amidst the storm of storm, as in the days of "sixty-one," when youth and vigor and love of the flag knew no physical bounds, those that were left passed in review over a measured mile through village streets—a distance suited to their gathering years. Thousands of spectators; with heads uncovered, watched the faltering lines bearing the old banners with unsteady hands. The rain fell with steadily increasing fury as they marched, but through the drenching torrents they kept on. For an hour and more the vetrasa walked between lines of cheering people, keeping step to the music, which again and again right cheerly played "How Dry I Am" and "Walt Till the Sun Shines, Nellie." Gov. Charles E. Hughes, his military staff, the national officers of the Grand Army and distinguished visitors stood on the reviewing stand all the while, from the drenching storm by a filmia covering of cloth, through which the rain swept almost unchecked. For an hour the veterans marched, and when the last faltering rank had passed in review the rain ceased, the skies cleared and the sun broke forth. The dripping but undaunted old soldiers found their way to boding places, satisfied that a trifling rainstorm had no more arrested their onward march than it had in the days of war. ADMIT8 GOODS WERE SMUGGLED. Miss Olsen, of Chicago, Confesses to Officials at Port Huron. Port Huron, Mich.—When arralned Wednesday before United States Commis- sion Harris on the charge of smuggling, Miss Anna Olson, of Chi- icago, who was detained by customs officers here Monday, together with Mrs. Lucy Rapp and Mrs. A. Hubert, also of Chicago, admitted that the con- tents of the three canvas trunks which the party had, worth about $5,000, were smuggled goods. Miss Olsen declared that the other two women had no money invested in the goods, but were only helping her with the use of their trunks. She said she was in the ladies' furnishing goods business in Chicago and later Mrs. Hulbert and Mrs. Rapp also admitted that they are in the same business. They have been released on their personal recognition. Watterson Has Another Firs. Louisville, Ky.—Fire which broke out late Wednesday afternoon, for a second time endangered the plants of the Courier-Journal and Times, and threatened to destroy that portion of the Courier-Journal office building left intact after the disastrous fire of ten days ago.

TOLD HIM THE TRUTH, Dad's Indignation Got the Better of ‘His Judgment. An old German farmer, who resided 4 one of the rural districts of the state of Iowa, was the father of halt-witted boy, whose lack of fntel lect was the cause of no little anxiety and solicttude on the part of the pa ternal perent. “Dot poy Shon,” he was heard to re mark in the course of a conversation ‘with nelghbor of ike ‘Teutonic origin, “he iss not ferry: bright, aber T ton't vant you to tell him because Tton't vant him to know it” Meanwhile the young hopetal was @riving through the barnyard with a Toad of hay, which in attempting to turn a sharp corner he unfortunately upset. ‘Tho old man immediately became bighly indignant. “Shon!” be bellow. ed in a volee of thunder, “you iss a plame foo!, you always vass a fool, you always vill pe a fool, you not know noddings."—Judge's Library.

At the Pine Grove camp ground in Canaan, Conn, a litle girl was re moved by her mother for disobedience and being naughty to her playmates. ‘The child was told that wheir she sald her prayers at night abe should seek forgiveness and ask the Lord to help her bea better girl. Here is. the prayer which the youngster made un- fer protest: “Oh, Lord, I want you to help me to miod.my mamma, to help me to bea etter girl, to help me to be good to my playmates, to—but, pshaw, Lord, what's the ‘use?

Was the citron tree the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden of Eden? Some persons think it was. In any event, it appears that "citron" would often be the right rendering in passages where the authorized version of the Bible gives "apple." For instance, in the Proverbs, "A word fity spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." And in the Song of Solomon, "As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons." And again, "Stay me with flags, comfort me with apples, for I am sick of love."

"It is huge, it is shaped like a castle, it is solid silver and the price—but what is the use telling the price to you? Very magnificent, eh? in the middle age, you know, the salt cellar was the principal table ornament. Guests sat above or below the salt as they were prominent or the reverse. Where do you think you'd have sat, eh? Queer table manners they had in those days. The fastidious had individual knives, forks and spoons, but the common people ate with their fingers. You helped yourself from the general dish with your own spoon if you had one, but if you were very, very fastidious you licked the spoon clean first. The food was queer—rich, rank food—swans, herons, porcine, garlic, verjure, saffron. There was meat and wine in floods and ushers stood about whose duty it was to lead to convenient couches such guests as had dined too well. These ushers, being overworked, were continually striking for more pay. The hours were queer, too. Breakfast, dawn; dinner, ten o'clock; supper, four o'clock in the afternoon." TAKING NO MORE CHANCES. Keepers Had Special Cartridges For Poor Markman. Dr. Seward Webb at a dinner at the libelous Farma, his great Vermont estate, said of a certain poor markman: "Visiting his English brother-in-law, he shot the head keeper in the leg the first morning he tried pheasant shooting. The man limped away cursing horribly. Next day he had wretched luck, though the wounded head keeper without malice had assigned him to a fairly good place. Bang, bang, bang, went his gun every few seconds, but not a bird fell before it. He was much embarrassed. It seemed, too, that at each of his misses the under keeper smiled at one another oddly. Finally his cartridges gave out. He hurried to the nearest keeper and demanded more. 'There ain't no more, sir,' the man answered. 'No more? Nonsense. Why, you've got at least 1,000 in that box.' The keeper flushed and stammered: 'Ah, but they ain't for you, sir. They're for another gent. They've got shot in 'em, sir.'" A Chance for a Bargain. An Irishman who had begun to practice photography went into a shop to purchase a small bottle in which to mix some of his solutions. Seeling one he wanted, he asked the chemist how much it would be.
