PITTMAN-WASHINGTON WEDDING Chief Social Event of the Year at Tuskegee Institute. The chief social event of the year at Tuskegee Institute was the marriage Thursday evening, October 31, at "The Oaks," Principal and Mrs. Washington's residence, of Miss Portia Marshall Washington and Mrs. Willett Fittman, of Washington, D. C. The whole affair was simple and impressive in its dignity. The electrical division of the school transformed the entire grounds of "The Oaks" into a blaze of light by utilizing colored lights in the trees, among the rose bushes, hedges, and in nooks and corners, similarly, on the house, decorations of grasses, ferns, wild Southern simil, white roses, with multi-colored lights, made the interior most beautiful.

The refreshments were particularly dalty, chicken salad, rolls, cheese, olives being served followed by ice cream in the form of red apples, whites and green colored, pears, roses and many others of similar kind. The cutting of the bride's cake, a particularly formidable-looking company, was a great deal of merit; the slices were distributed to all of the guests. Many presents were received by the bride and groom, coming from all parts of the country, from disheath, from the countryside, and from friends of Principal Washington, as well as from many of their own friends. Those presented by members of our own community were also beautiful and in many instances very valuable.

Was Distinctive Mark of Caste in the Middle Ages. "This is a medieval salt cellar," said the antiquary. "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 eat in the house? The table tables they had in it. How many tables 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, porpiles, garlic, garlic, saffron. There was meat and wine in foods and ushers stood about whose duty they were. Such guests as had dined too well. These ushers, being overworked, were continually striking for more work. 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 Marksmans. Dr. Seward Webb at a dinner at Shelburn Farms, his great Vermont estate, said of a certain poor markman: "Visiting his English brother-law, he shot the head keeper in the leg the first morning he tried pheasant shooting. The man limped away currying horribly. Next day he had wretched luck, though the wounded head keeper without mallice 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, seeming to be in a panic, 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 fushed and stammered: 'Ah, but them ain't for you, sir. They're for another giant They've got shot in 'em, sir.' A Lengthy Job. The Pelican—"Did you hear about the boa-constristler? He's dying by fishes!" The Outcast—"I'm glad to see him so immediate danger." Butterfly. Mark of Superiority.

A collector in this city paid the other day $275 for a Chippendale armchair, Chairs for every day for $40, $50 and $100. New York letter. ```markdown ``` The president of Tufts' college warns the trustees that coeducation must be abandoned if the institution is to attract male students. Young men, he says, are showing a decided preference for men's colleges, where they are undisturbed by feminine association. Only by the segregation of the women students in a department of their own, President Hamilton thinks, can the drift away from Tufts be checked, and the college of letters prevented from soon becoming a girls school. The warning is interesting, as following by just a year the adoption of the plan of sex segregation at the University of Chicago. Are college youths becoming fearful of mollycoddling influences at coeducational institutions? asks the New York World. At least there were no mollycoddles in the Cornell boat at Poughkeepsie, nor on the Michigan and Wisconsin university eleven. Doubts the main cause is a discontent with the invasion of their ancient domain by women in numbers which threaten soon to reduce the male students to a minority. In ten years the growth of the great coeducational colleges has been phenomenal. Cornell increasing its numbers from 1,800 to 3,299; Michigan addling 1,800 and Wisconsin 1,400. At the University of Chicago the college population almost prebled, advancing from 1,831 to 5,997. Tufts itself jumped from 500 to 1,160. Meantime the strictly women's colleges have grown greatly, Smith, which this year has a freshman class of 500, increasing f-um 850 to 1,375, and Vassar doing its numbers. The gain is suggestive when contrasted with the increase of 111 at Williams, 227 at Princeton, 155 at Bowdoin and 21 at Amsther. Water Power Going to Waste. The newly-created inland waterways commission is going to teach the people a lot of things about the most valuable mineral in the world—a mineral of which, because it is plentiful, we are more wasteful than of anything else, throwing it away wholesale, and exhibiting a negligent of its possibilities of usefulness. So writes Rene Bache in The Technical World Magazine. The mineral in question is water. Everybody drinks it, and most folks use it for bathing. The latter employment is considered by many non-essential, but as a beverage it is so far indispensable that, if wholly deprived of it, all of mankind on the earth—not to mention the fowls of the air and the beasts of the field—would perish in about four days. The crops, too, are made to grow by the same beneficent fluid, which, incidentally, furnishes power on an enormous and steadily-increasing scale for manufacturing purposes. To the harnessing of their rivers the southern states mainly owe their recent industrial rejuvenation. The cost of living is increasing not merely in the United States but abroad, and largely because of the arbitrary action of producers and dealers in advancing prices. The matter has become serious in some quarters, notably in countries where the wage scale is low. In Italy the public authorities are beginning to take matters in hand. The city government of Rome proposes to step in and fix a maximum price for all provisions, imposing penalties for violation of the regulations. Municipal ownership in any form is something to be wary of, but if such control takes the shape of checking extortion that adds vastly to the hardships of the people a great many may be inclined to condone the procedure. Constitutional government is becoming so popular that it begins to look as though no country with any pretense of being up to date will be content to remain without it. Even so conservative an old lady as the dowager express of China has been so sised with a desire to follow the fashion and has promised her people a constitution. Persia, hitherto reckoned among the most non-progressive of nations, is assured a constitution, the shah having signed an edict to that effect. If Russia's carar does not wish to be helplessly behind the times he will have to hasten to grant a constitution to his subjects. Why not try it, even if dumars are not always as subservient to the royal will as might seem advisable to the sovereign? Prof. David Todd has returned from his astronomical expedition to northern Chili, more than ever convinced that Mars is inhabited. And yet he took 7,000 photographs of the planet without once having to tell it to look pleasant. The man who discovered an affinity seemed to have things pretty well his own way until his wife announced that she, too, had located an affinity, and he was it. Twenty thousand pounds of prunes have been ordered for the fleet that is going to the Pacific. This is doubtless to train the men to be resolute boarders. The spread of the cigarette habit among fashionable women will compel the grammarians to score up a female gender to the word mollycoddle. If the canals on Mars are optical illusions, it is strange that the camera suffers from defective sight. IOWA STATE NEWS Events of Recent Occurrence Throughout the Commonwealth. VAST FORGERIES EXPOSED. Losses to Depositors in Chariton Bank will Be Heavy. FALLS 116 FEET; UNHJRT. Miner Pitches Headlong Down Mine Shaft. Charlton—Not only did the late cashier, F. R. Crocker, of the failed First National bank, abstract and speculate with its funds, but it has been disclosed that he made false entries in its books and perpetrated systematic forgeries to such an extent that it will be impossible for weeks to determine how much, if anything, the bank's depositors will receive. Moreover, the belief is growing that Crocker's alleged surety bond to the Modern Woodmen of America to protect $250,000 in the bank's property in part at least. The first report of the receiver of the defunct bank has not been made public in Charlton as yet, but it is in possession of the controller of the bank, and is known the above important facts in a letter to a depositors says it is impossible now to determine how much the depositors will receive but adds that the depositors will not be paid and that their loss will be very heavy. For some days there have been rumors that the bond furnished to the Modern Woodmen of America to secure the $350,000 loaned to Crocker is of a dourful character. Head of the instrument in his possession, but he has thus far refused to make public the names of the signers. Some of the men who are accredited with signing the bond declare that their signatures are not genuine; still others declare that though they were on Crocker's bond during his term of office, they are not responsible for his subsequent relationship with the Modern Woodmen. A few have seen the instrument in Head Banker McNider's possession, and they also cast doubt upon its character. In any event enough is known to justify the statement that there will be no bond if the Woodmen undertake to collect from the alleged guarantors. Much interest is taken here in the news that Mrs. Mallory and the Thayers, the real backers and owners of the bank, are on their way home from their foreign trip. They are returning from the Mediterranean on the same steamer that took them there, and they arrive in Charlton late this month. The Bank of Lacona at Lacona, which had $20,000 of its deposits in the First National bank here, is in the hands of a receiver. Willard Beem of this city having been placed in charge. Mr. Beem was until a year ago to be the cashier of the First National. This institution is expected to pay out. In connection with the affairs of the Russell bank, which was owned by Crocker and Brandon, Mr. Brandon has declared that he will use his personal fortune to make good its losses. In addition, Mr. Brandon has $10,000 of its deposits amounted to $110,000, $60,000 of which have been loaned to the First National bank. DITCH CAVES IN: ONE DEAD. Newton Men Caught In Construction of Swer Newton—One man was killed and a second probably fatal injured while working in a nine-foot sewer ditch near the new high school building in this city. The victims, Bert Inging in the ditch when it caved in upon them. Before they could be rescued Johns died of suffocation while Bannister sustained serious injuries that may end in his death. When Johns was found he was drowned with what he had ingored against the diaphragm, cutting off his breathing. But for the fact that the caving dirt struck him in this position he might have been taken out alive. Bannister was near the ditch that he feared that he also received internal injuries. SHOOTING NEAR MADRID. Three Men Injured in Row Over Beer Ken Boone—Word from Madrid tells of a shooting affair which occurred in the northern part of Douglas township in which three men were injured—Frank Williams, seriously; Charles Ortner, unloading coal nearby, shot in the shoulder, and boy, named John Owens, shot in the hand. The men were having a jollification over a keg of beer. George Auspach and Frank Williams had some words. Auspach, it is alleged, made a threat to get a gun and shoot to kill. He got a gun and fired at Williams thirty-two shot taking effect in his leg. They removed and blood poisoning is feared. The crowd disarmed Auspach. He made his escape and cannot be located.

Grahl, one of the best known metal construction contractors in Des Moines and Iowa, fall eleven stories down the elevator stairs on the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th and Walnut streets on the 8th. Death was almost instantaneous. The accident was probably the result of leaning too far over the top of the shaft without being firmly secured and slipping. He struck the top of the shaft with his right hand, sitting at the main door, with terrific impact, crushing the plank flatform on top and bending the iron bars in the top of the cage.

Miner Pitches Headlong Down Mines Shaft. Boone—Ray Bricker an employee of the Big Five mine at Mongona, pitched headlong down mine shaft, a distance of 10 feet, and escaped a distance of 100 feet, returning to work ten minutes after the accident. Bricker's miraculous escape from an awful death was due to the fact that in falling he grasped a cable and in this manner broke the force of the cable. He then took car of coal off the cage and had dumped it. Supposing that the cage remained at the top landing he pushed the car back. However, the engineer had sent the cage over and he been removed. Bricker dumped the car into the mouth of the shaft and it fell, taking him with it. The horrified workmen were amazed a few moments later to hear the com- $20,000 FOR WIFE. Jury Returns Verdict for Plaintiff Hamilton. Oksalaoca...After being out eight hours, the jury in the Hamilton MQNeil case returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff and placed the loss of his wife affections at $20,000. The case is probably the most sensational district court. V. E. Hamilton, a prominent merchant of the city and stockholder in the Huber-Kalbach company, brought suit against W. A. Woolley for wealthy financial loss at $50,000 for alienating his wife's affections. The case occupied the attention of the court for four weeks. It was hard to determine whether the case was presented by the fastest legal talent obtainable. The case attracted considerable attention on account of the prominence of the parties, and throughout the trial in court room the case was with Hamilton. STOCKS RUIN BANKER Chariton People Tell of Crocker's Heavy Plumbing. Des Moines—information comes from Charlton that Frank R. Crocker, who committed suicide the night before the government took charge of his First National bank of that city, sunk between $1,000,000 and $1,500,000 in trying to bolster copper and nickel banks in which he had invested heavily. It is said in Charlton that all of the Modern Woodman funds, amounting to $100,000, estate, amounting to $400,000; all of the in the bank on hand and in other banks, which amounted to perhaps $200,000, and considerable more went into the muelstrom of speculation. Of the Charlton bank will get between 40 and 60 per cent of their claims. A receiver will be named for the institution within a short time. H. D. Crocker, Charlton probably will be appointed.

NOTES CITED AS BOGUS Government Charges $14,000,000 War Taken from Defendant's Banks and No Record Made of Transaction. Chicago. — The trial of John R. Walsh in the federal court for the alleged misapplication of the funds of the defunct Chicago National bank, of which he was president, got under full swing Wednesday. At 12:05 p. m. the jury which is to decide the fate of the financier was selected. A few minutes later it was sworn in by Judge Anderson and received its instructions as to how it should conduct itself during the trial. In the afternoon it listened to the opening statement of the prosecution in the case against the former banker. Assistant District Attorney Dobyns Dobyns received a package of funds through alleged fictitious notes and other means. Dobyns Begins Statement. The assistant district attorney began by saying that at the time named in the indictment John R. Walsh was president of the Chicago National bank and the Equitable Trust company, and vice president of the Home Savings bank, which three institutions had some $26,000,000 in their coffer-He said. Walsh was in unimputed control of these three banks. At the same time he was interested in several uncertain and highly speculative enterprises." Mr. Dobyns then enumerated the Walsh properties. "Not one of these was an established or prosperous concern," he said. Describes banker a method. Mr. Dobyns described in detail various methods by which he declared Walsh took the money of his banks for his private enterprises. "As a last resort, when you could not get the money you need, your money any other way," said Mr. Dobyns. "he finally got so that he would sign other people's names to fictitious notes, attach to them bonds of his various enterprises as collateral and thus obtain additional loans on these fictitious notes backed by this cheap collateral. "Walsh began these operations away back in the early '0s in a small, modest way. His schemes grew until at the end he was taking out of his balance hundreds of thousands and millions on a single deal." The attorney then reviewed the investigations of the bank by the examiners and its suspension. Allege Removal of $14,000,000. During the address it developed that the government will attempt to show that $14,000,000 was removed from the Chicago National bank, the Home Savings bank and the Equitable Trust company, while there was not a thing on the books of the concerns to show such transactions. It is said that months of work on the part of National Bank Examiner Edward J. Moxey and his assistant brought out the things on the books of the government's charges to the effect are made. The government will seek to prove, it is said, that the alleged manipulation of the bank books was so clever as to conceal the removal of the money, but that by digging down into the banks' vaults the examiners discovered bond-department checks and cashiers' checks that exposed the alleged falsifications on the books. Before court opened the defense produced a great mass of ledgers and bank books that the judge had called for at the request of the prosecution. QUAKE'S VICTIMS ABOUT 14,000 First Direct Reports Received from Karatagh, Turkestan. St. Petersburg—The first direct reports from the scene of the great earthquake at Karatagh, Russian Turkestan, about three weeks ago, reached this city Sunday from a correspondent who accompanied the relief expedition sent from Jamarak. Telegraphing under date of November 9 the correspondent says: "The town of Karatagh was completely destroyed. The victims numbered 1,000, but the adjoining district of Denausk. All the villages in the vicinity were wrecked. It is probable that there are hundreds more dead in these villages, but investigation is only now determining the approximate number." Barcelona—An earthquake Sunday caused a serious landslide close to the village of Valcomble, the population of which fed. Crazed and Killed by Peanuts. Fremont, Neb—Archie Venuto, of Fremont, attempted to live by eating nothing but peanuts, with the result that he died Monday after a week's peanut diet. At the end of four days Venuto went completely crazy. N. J. Travers Rejoice Himself St. Louis—N. Lee Travers, who was for a time intimately connected with E. G. Lewis in the latter's real estate enterprises here, was found dead in the library of his home at Kirkwood Wednesday. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of death from carbolic acid poisoning. Rear Admiral Walker Retired. Washington—Rear Admiral Asa Walker, of the away, was retired Wednesday on account of having reached the statutory age limit. Snow Falls at Shreveport, La. Shreveport, LA—Snow furries occurred here Monday morning, being the earliest on record at the weather bureau. The earliest previous record was November 26, 1878. There has not yet been a killing frost here. Falls Under Train and Is Killed Mason City, Ia.—A man identified as Jacob Dealman, of Newark, N. J., in attempting to board a train at Wesley Sunday, fell under the car and was killed. He was on route east from South Dakota. THE SENATOR IS ON ENGLISH COOL TO KAISER NO RIOTING BUT LITTLE ENTHUISM SIAMS SHOWN IN LONDON. "German Invasion" Hobby Cause People to Suspect Protestations of Desire for Peace. London—Emperor William of Germany, the guest of King Edward, made a speech Wednesday at the Guild hall, where he was entertained by the city of London. He urged the strengthening of the Anglo-German relations and emphasized his unalterable desire to foster the peace of the world. The day passed off without the expected Socialist demonstration, much less any disorder or rioting. The reception accorded Emperor William by the people of London has been respected, but compared to that given some other royal visitors of recent years, it was in no sense enthusiastic. The atmosphere which has prevailed during his appearance in public has been tinged with decided cooiness, and there is no doubt that the English officials are relieved that the passage of the German emperor through the streets of this city was attended by no disagreeable incidents. A large section, if not a majority of English people, persists in believing Germany to be Great Britain's one enemy among the nations and this emity has been fanned recently by continuous warnings from some of the leading newspapers and reviews, as well as from military experts, that the invasion of naval and military activity is directed toward schemes for the invasion of England—that Germany plans to surprise England some day when she is fully prepared to strike suddenly, just as Japan surprised Russia. "The German invasion" is becoming a hobby of the anti-Germans and a subject of ridicule for pro-Germans; the idea has, however, unquestionably affected the mind of the public and it is tending to surround with suspicion Emperor William's professions of his desire for peace. LOUIS E. M'COMAS DIES. Justice of District of Columbia Court and Former Senator. Washington. — Louis Emery McComas, associate justice of the court of appeals of the District of Columbia, former United States senator and for four terms congressman from Maryland, died at his home in this city Sunday.

Springfield, Ill. — The state board of equalization, which has been in session ten days after the limit allowed by law, adjourned Wednesday morning. The report of the railroad committee shows a total assessment of railroads in Illinois to be about $100,000,000, an increase of $5,000,000 over 1906. The assessment on capital stock of corporations in the state is $10,608,100, about $2,000,000, less than the assessed valuation for 1906. This is proof that the tangible stock of Chicago corporations has been assessed at a much higher valuation by the local assessors than last year. In 1907 the total equalized value of personal property in Illinois is $246, $19,650. The total equalized value of lands is $371,904,086. The total equalized value of lots is $498,886,624.

HARRIS SUED FOR $20,000. Ex-Treasurer of Pennsylvania Acquired of Accepting Bribe. Pittsburgh, Pa.—The most surprising of the many sensations which have developed since the failure of the Enterprise National bank of Allegheny, in 1905, occurred Wednesday when Thomas Rinker, receiver of the defunct institution, entered a suit in assuistit in the United States district court against ex-State Treasurer of Pennsylvania Frank G. Harris, claiming 2000 with interest from October 23, 1903.

HOME REMEDY FOR A COLD. A Good, Common Sense Treatment, Anybody Can Easily Apply. The best time to doctor a cold is when you feel it coming on. Do not delay, as you can often cure it in one night if taken in time. Keep in mind that a cold summer retards the cold—a cold heen never lays—a cold house is un- comfortable and a cold climate breeds colds—so when you start to cure your cold-sear up. Bathe the feet in hot water—take hot drinks of lemonade or composition, tea—take a good laxative quinine tablet and go to bed and sweat. The most important treatment in doctoring a cold or sore throat is a good application on the lungs to avoid any chance of pneumonia. People used to apply a cold cream to the nose, but the finest thing for this purpose is Hoff's German Liniment. This is a camphor cream, strong and penetrating, yet perfectly clean and does not soil clothing or bedding. It is a simple household remedy, is sold everywhere for twenty-five cents. Be sure to rub it in well and if threat is sore use as a gargle. The above costs a good deal less than a good tombstone—and a neglected cold often leads to an untimely grave. HERE'S A NEW DEFINITION. And Many There Are Will Say Senator Platt Was Right. A rather cynical joke has been recently credited to Senator Platt. The senator, on his last visit to the Manhattan Beach hotel, allowed a pretty little girl, a western millionaire's daughter, to be presented to him. The little girl, in the course of one of her many chats with the aged statesman, said: "Tell me, won't you, senator, what political economy is?" "Political economy, my dear child," Senator Platt is said to have replied, "is the art of never buying more votes than you actually need." BABY'S ECZEMA GREW WORSE. Hospitals and Doctors Could Not Relieve Him—But Cuticura Remedies a Speedy, Permanent Cure. "Ezema appeared when our baby was three months old. We applied to several doctors and hospitals, each of which gave us something different every time, but nothing brought relief. At last, one of our friends recommended to us Cuticula Soap and Cuticula Ointment. A few days afterwards improvement could be noted. Since then we have used nothing but Cuticula Soap and Cuticula Ointment, and now we have used two oils that are purified. All that we used was one cake of Cuticula Soap and two boxes Cuticula Ointment, costing in all $1.25. C. F. Kara, 343 East 65th Street, New York, March 30, 1906." Martins' Revenge. A correspondent tells the story of two house martins' nests built against an attic window of a farm, to which the birds came for several successive years. Last spring, however, before they arrived, a sparrow took up her abode in one of the nests. Shortly after the martins returned as usual, and one day the farm people noticed that the hole of the nest which the sparrow occupied had been blocked up. Next morning a boy climbed up to ascertain the meaning of this, and not finding any outlet broke away part of the nest, to find the porch little sparrow dead on her eggs. The house martins had walled her up for daring to take possession of their house.—Country Life. Shy One Fare. Inspector Johnson, of the Columbus Railway company, tells the following story of no of his new conductors: The inspector had boarded a car on one of the East Side lines and glancing at the register, noticed that there were nine passengers on and only eight fares. He touched the conductor on the shoulder, a green man from the country, and said: "The fare. There are also people on the car and only eight fares collected." "By gosh," said the conductor, "that's right," and hastily grabbing the bell cord, he stopped the car and yelling at the passengers ordered one of them to "gift of." —Columbus Despatch. A Slight Difference. "My dear," said a gentleman to his wife, "where did all those books on astronomy on the library table come from? They are not curs." "A pleasant little surprise for you," responded the lady. "You know, you said this morning that we ought to study astronomy, so I went to a book store and bought everything I could find on the subject." It was some minutes before he poke. "My dear," he then said, slowly, his voice husky with emotion. "I never said we must study astronomy. I said we must study economy." Prizes for Inventions. With a view to encounter officials and workmen on the Imperial German railways, the government have established a fund from which awards are made to men who invent any appliance which may be useful in railway practice; $3,750 was paid to employees last year from the fund.

I gained 5 lbs. in one week." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read the book, "The Road to Welville," in pkg. Hummert Furnilies Something for Scribes to Puzzle Over. Mark Twain, as in his custom, hides himself during the summer from the head hunters, those persons seeking autographs, photographs, or interviews. This year he selected Tuxedo Park as his retreat, renting an old colonial house until the latter part of September, when he returned to his New York home. There, during the heated days, Mr. Clemens wandered about the country byways or spent the time in various shady nooks in his ground. A visitor who succeeded in discovering his whereabouts found the great author in his famous suit of white flannels, seated under a tree petting a kitten. "Where did you get it?" queried the friendly intruder. In a moment there was a twinkle in the aged humorist's eye; it was replied: "I rent it from a neighbor. You see, I cannot afford a cat—not a young one." Subsequent inquiry proved at least the first part of Mr. Clemens's statement to be true. He had actually rented the kitten for the summer season. What does he pay for it? Nobody knows what Mark Twain pays for anything. All the world is interested only in what Mark Twain is paid—The Sunday Magazine. Taking Immediate Steps.

Foster-Milburn Co. Buffalo, N.Y. Mexico's Indian Women. Indian Women. The beauty of Indian women is one of the charms of Mexico. In it e capital, where the Indian is degenerated through poverty and central service it is less to be remarked in the smaller towns and in the country. But the beautiful faces one takes in memory away from Mexico are those of Indian women. Fine eye are universal, and, what one hardly expects, the features according to Caucasian standards — broad brows, straight noses, well-formed mouths and chins fall but not gross or heavy. The expression is very generally intellectual and often one is struck, both in Indian men and women, with the nobility and the countenance. One frequently uses types among the peons that seem to belong to some highly skilled, ancient people. ancient castle —an Egyptian priest of royal blood, a Roman centurian, an Aztec emperor. The women are gently lovely, where they are beautiful, and the men their best in earring, in manners and in countenance are strikingly like the very advanced product of civilization. —Modern Mexico. Worse and Worse "The late Admiral Walker," said a naval officer in Washington, "believed heartily in marriage for sailors. He always urged sailors to sail. Nautical bachelors were held up to scorn by him. "Strolling with him in New York one day we met a young ship-broker. Admiral Walker hallled the young man delighted. He clapped him on the back, wring his hand and cried: "You are the ones on your marriage, my young friend. More sewing on of buttons now, eh?" "No, indeed; said the ship-broker sharply. I wear a belt now. It keeps me so busy raising money to pay my wife's bills that I have no time to sew on buttons." 8oon Told. Mr. Trotter—I spent an entire day with your husband last week. We hadn't met for nearly 20 years, and naturally he had to tell me all he knew. Mrs. Homer—He ought to have told you that much in ten minutes. But had he started in to tell you all he doesn't know it would have taken him the rest of his natural life. Starch. Like everything else, is being constantly improved, the patent Starches put on the market 25 years ago are very different and inferior to those of the present day. In the latest discovery—Defiance Starch—all in one place, it worked, while the addition of another ingredient, invented by us, gives to the Starch a strength and smoothness never approached by other brands. An Estimate and a Hope. "You've heard her, you say?" re marked Mr. Dubley. "Ah! She certainly has the gift of song." "Well, I hope that's what it is," replied Miss Knox.

Large Sum for Payment of the Employees at Cokedals, Col., is Most Mysteriously Missing. Trinidad, Col.—Checks and currency to the amount of $23,000, intended to pay the wages of the Coal and Coke company's miners at Cokedale, were lost or stolen Monday afternoon while in transit in a stage from the Longdale railroad station to the camp, a distance of only two miles. Charles Macomber, driver of the stage, was arrested on suspicion, but he declares he knows nothing about the supposed theft. The money package had been carelessly thrown with other express matter, into the stage. Abraham Thompson, the paymaster, accompanied by Jim Williams, a guard, left here at dusk Monday night to drive to Cokedale, the biggest camp operated by the American Smelting & Refining company. The money, which was contained in two canvass sacks, was placed under the seat. According to the story of Thompson they encountered no one en route to their camp, but when they arrived to Cokedale and the miners had formed a line to receive their pay, it was dislaced when money was missing. Thompson and William medially retraced their tracks for several miles, but could find nb trace of the thief, and returned to Cokedale, where they notified the sheriff telephone. Some of the miners obtained horses and rode over the surrounding country, but encountered no suspects. LIVED AS MAN SIXTY YEARS Catherine Vosbaugh Dies After Long Masquerade. Trinidad, Col.-Catherine Vosbaugh, who for nearly 60 years passed as a man, died at a hospital in this city. Miss Vosbaugh was born in France 83 years ago. When a young woman she found it difficult to make her way on account of her sex and, adopting men's clothes, she obtained employment as a bookkeeper in Joplin, Mo. This position she held for nine years, and then accepted a position in a St. Joseph (Mo.) bank. While in St. Joseph she married a woman, with whom she lived for over 30 years. The woman was in trouble, and "Charles" Vosbaugh married her to protect her. The two women, still masquerading as man and wife, came to Trinidad two years after the death of her "wife" Miss Vosbaugh worked here in various capacities, until she became feeble, and last year was taken to the hospital. It was then that her sex was discovered, but even after her recovery she refused to change her clothing. ADAMS' CONFESSION HEARD. Recital of Murder Involving Chiefs of Miners' Federation. Rathdrum, Idaho.—The confession of Steve Adams, made in the office of the warden of the Idaho state penitentiary February 27, 1906, was introduced in evidence at the trial of Adams for the murder of Fred Tyrus Tuesday. He confession Adams is quoted as saying that he met Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone in Colorado "the summer following Arthur Collins" assassination at Telluride, that they told him to go to Idaho and meet Skimpkins in regard to Steunenberg, whom they wanted to "get," and gave him $200. Adams then told how he, New Glomer and Alval Mason went Skimpkins in and killed, and Boule, who, Skimpkins said, were lumping his claim. INDIAN BATTLE TALE FALSE. Denied by Superintendent Shelton, of Ship Rock Ute Agency. Ute Agency, Ship Rock, N. M.—Superintendent Shelton, of the Ute Indian agency, at this place, positively denies the report sent out from Dumurang, Col., that another battle took place Tuesday between the disaffected Utes and the United States troop. The report had it that six Indians were killed by the soldiers. Superintendent Shelton further states that all of the disaffected Utes are now under arrest at Ship Rock. Panama Haven for Spinsters. New York—Any woman who wants to get married has only to go to Panama, married to Miss Helen Varkle Boswell, who recently returned from that land of matrimonial opportunities, after having organized, on behalf of the secretary of war, a canal zone federation of women's clubs. "You may not think it," Miss Boswell said, "but to woman need remain unmarried in Panama. There are scores of lonely bachelors all longing for the comforts of a home, and so the place is a great matrimonial market." Six Men Killed by Train. Milwaukee.—Six men were killed at South Milwaukee Wednesday night when a fast Northwestern train plowed across a grade crossing near the station. All of the killed were workmen at a nearby factory.

WHEN MONEY WAS SCARCEL. Practically Unobtainable During Period of Missouri's History. "However scarce money may be at times at the present," said an old Missourian, "the oldest inhabitants will recall when it was almost unachievable and other commodities had to be used as media of exchange. The wolf's scalp was worth a dollar because its scalp was a state bounty upon the death of a wolf, and venison hams and deer were sold for the fur. Skins of the fur bearers were likewise abundant and valuable. When the first sheriff of Audrain county, in 1837, went to Jefferson City to deliver the county revenue, he met an old friend on the way who, needing money, wanted to borrow the actual cola part of the county's revenue. The good-hearted sheriff lent it to him and went on to the capital and delivered only the scalps. By the time of the sheriff's death, the sheriff made his next settlement complete. No note or other obligation than the mere word was given."—Columbia Herald. Restricted Choice. "The people and the corporations," said Senator La Follette the other day, "remind me of a woman and a little boy. There was a very large chicken and a very small duck-on the table and the woman, pausing with the carving knife raised, said: "Johnny, which will you take, chicken or duck?" "Duck," plowed Johnny. But the mother shook her head. 'No, Johnny,' she said in a firm, yet kindly voice, 'you can't have duck, my dear. Take your choice, darling, take your choice, but you can't have duck.' The Peaceful Cow. She was even more afraid of cows than most girls, so when she spied a placid animal recumbent under a tree, peacefully chewing its cud, she at first refused to go through the pasture at all. Her husband calmed her fears to some extent, and they started by, when the cow slowly commenced to get up, hind legs first, as they always do. At this the little lady shrieked with terror, and said: "Oh, Bob, hurry, hurry, he is getting ready to spring at us!"—Harper's Magazine. TO PRETENDERS. A Wholesome Word for Guidance. Just a word to you, "Collier's" and other glaring examples of Modern Yellow Journalism and Cigarettes. Environment gives you a view-point from which it is difficult to understand that some people even nowadays act from motives of old fashioned honesty. There are honest makers of foods and healthful beverages and there are honest people who use them. Perhaps you are trained to believe there is no honesty in this world. There is, although you may not be of a kind to understand it. Some of you have been trained in a sorry class of pretenders, but your training does not taint the old fashioned person without knowledge of pretense and deceit. These letters came to us absolutely without solicitation. We have a great many thousand from people who have been helped or entirely healed by following the suggestions to quit the food or drink which may be causing the physical complaints and change to Postum Coffee or Grape-Nuts food. You are not intelligent enough to know the technical reasons why the change makes a change in the cells of the body. Your knowledge, or lack of knowledge, makes not the slightest difference in the facts. You can print from old and worn plates all the cheap books your presses will produce and sell them as best you can. Your acts and your "learned" editorials are but commercial, and seek only "dollars" and much by protence. When you branch out into food values you become only ridiculous. Stick to what you know. The field may be small but it is safe. This first letter is from the President of the "Christian Nation", a worthy Christian paper of New York. New York, Oct. 2, 1907. Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich. I am, this morning, in receipt of the enclosed mighty good letter from one of my subscribers, which I forward to you, and which I am sure you will be glad to use. I am personally acquainted with this lady, and know that she has no object in writing, other than to do good. Cordially, John W. Pritchard, Pres. Brooklyn, N. Y., Oct. 1, 1907. Dear Mr. Pritchard: Noticing Postum Food Coffee advertised each week in your reliable paper, I concluded to try it, and feeling it a duty towards those who may have suffered as I have from indigestion, desire to state what wonderful benefit it I have received from Postum although using only a short time, and not do I, alone realize and appreciate good effects, for example remark, "How much have improved and well I look", and I tell the facts about Postum every time, for since using it I have not had one attack of indigestion. It is invigorating, healthful; does not affect the nerves as ordinary coffee, and if properly made, a most delicious drink. Although I have not had much faith in general advertising, yet, finding Postum has done so much better for me than I expected I am more inclined to "Prove all things, hold fast that which is good." I am not sure what I want, but what I know what a blessing Postum has been to me. You may use these few lines as an ad. If you so desire and my name also. Very truly yours, Anna S. Reeves. $75 McDonough St. Brooklyn. Coffee hurt her, she quit and used Postum. She didn't attempt to analyze but wrote it. "There is a Reason." Underneath it all "There's a Reason." POSTUM GERAL CO., LTD. Saying "Hello" to Heart Throbs. "It is a curious thing," said a prominent lecturer recently, "how some books have a strong radiating personality, so that you feel like saying 'Howdy' every time you come across them. Last Christmas I visited friends at the kitchen when the super dishes had been put away, the chores done and the evening lamp lighted we gathered beside the organ for a good old fashioned 'ing'. On the center table we strewed the Christmas remembrances taken from Christmas tree on the evening before. Glancing over them I suddenly exclaimed 'Hello! my good friend, Hello!' and as the others looked up in amazement I said, "Heart Throbs" and read to them from its pages the 'piece' I spoke in school 40 years ago. "That was enough to set in motion the friendly entertaining spirit of Heart Throbs, and the music was forgotten as we took turns reading the humorous and pathetic bits of prose and poetry, and in his wonderful volume. Some books have great literary value, some have historical significance, but Heart Throbs is the only book I know that slaps you on the back in a friendly sort of way, suiting itself to your moods and proving faithful to every detail of the Bible I love Heart Throbs. It is the most notable book of the times." Mary Knew. Little Mary's father had been teaching her to walk properly. "Walk slowly and turn out your toes," he admonished her. While she was undergoing this teaching she attended Sunday school one day. The golden text was, "Teach me to walk honestly." After reckoning it several times, the teacher asked, "Who knows what that means?" "I do," replied little Mary. "Walk slowly and turn out your toes." $100 Reward, $100. Eluding the Teacher. Willie came to school for the first time. In one hand he carried a cap and in the other a bunch of bananas. "You can't come in here with those "You can't come in here win those bananas," said the teacher. "Willie went out. In a few minutes he will back, walking slowly and painfully." "Where did you put the bananas?" asked the teacher. "I hid them all right," gasped Willie; "they're safe inside of me." Rural Delivery Increase. It is now only fourteen years since an appropriation of $10,000 was made for experiments with the project of rural free delivery. As recently as ten years ago the appropriation for this new service amounted to only $10,000; last year it was more than $25,000,000, while this year rural free delivery will cost $7,100,000.

Thus, Great Britain uses the sovereign or pound sterling; France and six other countries of Europe use a unit equal to the franc; and Canada and the United States use the dollar. In value these different units range from 4.4 to 494.33 cents of money of the United States. They are represented in their turn by coins the values of which are either multiples or are fractional parts of the value of their own chief units, and there are no doubt at least 200 such different coins, not one of which seems to have a value equal to that of any commonly known unit of weight, as the gram, for example, or the ounce of gold, although 43 of these 48 countries have accepted gold as their standard measure of values. In the coinage of the world there seems, indeed, to be little that is logical or reasonable. Adoption of a single monetary unit or base, if not of an universal system of coinage to be used in all commerce between the nations, suggests E. W. Perry in Moody's Magazine, would be a long step in that evolution through the centuries, because there has been no concerted, well planned and persistent effort to remove the evils of the existing disorder. SPLENDID RACE OF MEN. Natives of the Friendly Islands of Magnificent Physique. "The natives of the Tonga, or Friendly islands, off the east coast of New Zealand, are the finest in physique of any on earth" said E. A. Powell, of Cleveland. Mr. Powell is returning from a business trip to Australia, where he visited several groups of the Pacific islands. "The average height of the males is five feet ten inches. Many of them are over six feet. They weigh from 160 to 300 pounds and are very straight, being built in proportion. The women averag* a greater height than the women of America. They have fine, strong figures and average from 130 to 160 pounds in weight. They are of a copper color, straight haired and with features which made the Greeks famous. I firmly believe they are the original Maoris, while the natives of New Zealand are a smaller race—apparently a mixture with the Mongolian race. The islands are crescent shaped and mostly coral. There is, either wealth nor poverty on the islands. Peace and contentment are in evidence and the tribe is exceeding virtuous. The main article of food is the cocoanut, and the only drink used is the milk of this nut." Hot or Cold Water It is a debatable question whether it is a wise practice to drink a cupful of hot water immediately upon rising every morning. The hot-water flends fancy that they cannot live without their morning drink, but there are reliable physicians who claim that this practice is debilitating to the stomach and that it cannot fail to do injury. The habitual use of cold water is an excellent habit to form. It is natural to drink cold water. Cold water is a tonic to the stomach, as it is to the skin. It gives tonicity to the mucous walls of the stomach. The practice of taking five or six glasses of cold water a day is a good one. It will help to clear the complexion, brighten the eyes, and is said to be almost a certain remedy for puffiness under the eyes. A Great Swimmer A remarkable swim by an eighty-year-old horse, says a Kildysart telegram, is occupying the attention of the local inhabitants. It appears that a farmer named Morgan Macmahon, who lives on a small island in the estuary of the Shannon, took the horse by boat to the matland, and after working it all day turned it loose in the evening with a number of other horses. When the owner awoke next morning what was his astonishment to find the faithful animal peacefully grazing near its stable. It was wet as from a swim, and there is not the slightest doubt that the horse had swum all the way from the mainland to the island, a distance of a little less than three miles—Pall Mall Gazette. Terms of Latin Origin. In a legal sense an "innuendo" was originally an averment made by the plaintiff in a libel action, putting into plain words the injurious sense he detected in an institution published by the defendant. It is the ablative case of a Latin gerum, that has become a common English noun substantive Another Latin ablative with a similar modern history is "folio", which literally means "on page" so-and-so. The English language absurd all cases in this fashion at its pleasure. There is "quorum" (genitive plural and "omnibus" (dative plural), with "ignoranus" as an English noun that was once a Latin verb in the first person plural. Onions are irrigators A farmer has made a discovery that will be of vast importance to farmers during a dry season. He has found that by planting onions and potatoes in the same field in alternate rows the onions, being so strong, bring tears to the eyes of the potatoes in such way that the roots of the onions are kept moist and a big crop is raised in spite of the drought. It is time to commence putting out your onion sets now—Reed City (Minn.) Clarion. Withtood and Other Treatment But Quickly Cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. "Last winter I caught a very severe cold which lingered for weeks," says J. Urquhart, of Zephyr, Ontario. "My cough was very dry and harsh. The local dealer recommended Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and guaranteed it, so I gave it a trial. One small bottle of it cured me. I believe Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to be the best I have ever used." This remedy is for sale by all druggists. Turkish War Expenses. Something like three-fourths of the annual expenditure of the Turkish government has of recent years been for arms and munitions of war. Silent Japanese Soldiers. Japanese soldiers fight noiselessly. They have no bands, no drums beat reverie or tattoo, and in action they utter no cheers. Irrigation Adds Value. By means of irrigation something like 3,500,000 acres of land in India have been increased in value over 1230,000,000. Smiths Lead All. In the city of Washington there are 18,000 Browns, 15,000 Smiths, 14,000 Johnsons and 1,000 Joneses. Average Journey of Freight. The average journey of a ton of height is 128 miles. Forgetting an Injury Church—I like to see a man who can forget an injury.

A woman's tongue is only three inches long, but it can kill a man six feet high. Japanese. A Dog's Opinion of Boston Dialect. "An intelligent looking dog," said the visitor from Boston. "Oh, he is," exclaimed Fido's owner. "He knows every word you say." Then said the visitor from Boston: "My canine friend, I am exceedingly interested in the hypothesis that has been presented to me to the effect that your understanding of human speech is perfect, and in order to test this matter I wish that you would be good enough to bark three times in rapid succession as an indication that your comprehension of my request is in all ways clear and lucid."

Be self-reliant. Make your own investigation into investments. When you cannot, put your money in a good savings bank. Distrust the financial demagogues as you distrust the political demagogue. Keep your hand on your pocketbook as you travel life—first, to give always in proportion to your means to those who are poorer; second, to hold from those who would take through force or fraud what you need for yourself and yours. You will then, give Mr. Dawes in the Saturday Evening Post, have your hand where most of the other fellows have only their eyes. In this alone you will have the advantage of them. Cholly—You remember I told you yesterday that Miss Perkyns told me the night before that she would marry me. Jack—Yes, Cholly—Well, I happened to think this morning that she said that she would marry me on the thirty-first of September, so I looked up the calendar to see what day of the week it would be, and, do you know, September has only 30 days! A European idea is maps, specially prepared for aeronauts, giving the position of the principal objects such as the bends of the rivers, factories, railway junctions, etc., which can be easily distinguished from the car of a balloon. Similarly, all the great centers of light will be indicated on the maps for use in night traveling. A Methodist Minister Recommends Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. We have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in our home for seven years, and it has always proved to be a reliable remedy. We have found that it would do more than the manufacturers claim for it. It is especially good for croup and whooping cough. Rev. James A. Lewis, Pastor Milaca, Minn., M. E. Church. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is sold by all druggists.

The X-ray has just been introduced to the sea fishers of Ceylon to show whether an oyster has pearls without opening. extravagance in Dress. Very few persons outside of the glittering circle of our enormously rich families, who constitute what is referred to as "the best society," can understand how any young woman in this or any other country can spend upon her wardrobe such vast amounts of money as are expended by the daughters of some of these families. The history of the world does 'not show such reckless extravagance in the way of dress. Nor, for the matter of that, does the history of the world show so riotous a use of money as that practiced by our very rich in their strictly social divertissements. Happy is the lot of the man or woman who is not tempted to such foolish indulgences, which take the edge from life's real joy! Fled from Gas. "I had a friend," said the bearded man, "who got out of paying a bill he owed in an original way. When the collector arrived he sent word to him that he would see him in a few minutes. Then he went into the parlor, shut the doors carefully, turned on every blessed burner in the chandelier, came quickly out, and had his man show the bill collector in the parlor while he hurried upstairs. Do you think that collector waited a few minutes for him to come down? Not on your photograph. He fled from that gas filled room in about two seconds by the clock. If he had stayed three he'd have been suffocated." Good Enough for the Dog. Bobby's mother was often distressed by her small son's laps from corrections speech, all the more because his reports from school were always good. "Bobby," she said, plaintively one day, "way do you keep telling Major to 'set up' when you know 'sit up' is what you should say?" "Oh well, mother," Bobby answered hastily, "of course I have lots of grammar, but I don't like to waste it on Major, when he doesn't know the difference, being a dog." "Youth's Companion." Speaking of Fathers. Two kids had been engaged in a sented argument over the respective merits of their sires, when Johnnie clinched his argument with the following: "Huh, that's nothing! My father was in the army, and once, when he was standing on a hill beside a cannon, a war came up the hill, and he fired the cannon and killed the whole war."—Judge's Library. Hope. "Woman is naturally more hopeful than man," began the moralist. "Yes," interrupted the plain man. "There's my wife, for instance; every time she has had occasion to buy fish since we started housekeeping she has asked ter dealer if they were fresh, hoping, I suppose, that some day he'll say no." Each to His Trade "I'm more useful than you are," boasted the colliel. "Yes?" replied the bulldog. "You don't say?" "Yes." You should see me go for the sheep when they start to run away." "Well, just wait until some tramps come long here and when they start to run away watch me go for the calves."
