WHY SHE "SHOOK" HER FRIEND Shopper Preferred to Be Alone When Purchasing Shoes. A woman sat down in the shoe department of a New York store and bade the clerk hurry. "I left a friend at the lace counter," she said, "and I want to get my shoes fitted before she gets here." She apparently appreciated the circumstances. He worked fast, and in an incredibly short time the woman had selected three satisfactory pairs of shoes. "I wonder why she was so anxious to get through before her friend came," remarked another customer. "For the same reason that makes a woman buy shoes when buying shoes, laughed the clerk." "She has rather a large foot, and she didn't want her friend to find out what number she wears. It is seldom that the purchasers of shoes shop in pairs. They may hang together when buying anything else in the store, but when it comes to shoes each woman strikes the woman who has the only exception is the small foot. She would take her whole list of acquaintances along when buying shoes if she could." LIKE THE ORDINARY MORTAL. High Church Dignitary Had Name to Sign to Check. A comical story is told of the archbishop of York, who is an ardent fisherman. Not long ago he betook himself for a few days to a little York *shire* village, which boasted a good trout stream, and put up at a clean but modest hotel. A grave on his arrival informed the landlord who he was, and on leaving wrote a check for his bill and handed it to his host. The landlord closely scanned the signature and asked: "What name is this?" "W. Ebor," answered his bill. "Ah," said the landlord, as he pocketed the check, "I thought you were told me a fairhood when you told me you were a fisherman of York." The man evidently did not know that an archbishop has a name like an ordinary person. Pressed Clear Through Children have a very fair idea of what constitutes justice, and decidedly object to being punished more than they think they deserve. A bright, little seven-year-old committed some trifling misdemeanor and was taken seriously by her mother. After listening to her mother, Mabel said: "What makes you keep talking to me, so mamma?" "Because," replied the mother, "I want to impress it upon your mind so that you won't do it again." "Well," was the response, with the faintest grief of grief in her voice, "I think I'm pressed clear through now." What could the mother do but conclude that the lesson had been "pressed" for the time being, and send the little calpirt about her play. Why Are We So Hard? The following motto was on the wall of a woman's bedroom: "Let us take hands and help each other to day, because we are alive together." She is a bride of a year, and that is the sentiment with which she furnished her bedroom and tries to carry out in her everyday life. The hard blow she gives with a word, the mean judgment recoils on ourselves. No woman who is hard and critical is happy. "Take hands and help each other today" is the sure road to contentment and happiness. Got Even with Mald. Shirley Brooks, one time editor of Punch, was noted for his whimsical humor. "It annoys me," he said, one day. "If I am discountedly treated at the threshold of a friend's door, I remember once calling on some one, and the maid, in her rudest manner, told me he was not in, and shut the door in my face. I felt I must be revenged upon her somehow, so I returned after an interval of five minutes, rang the bell, and in my meekest manner mildly said: 'Did I say he was?' Marricd Chums "Has he any friends?" asked the judge of a prisoner in the dock. "No. only a wife," was the matter of fact reply of the witness. Rather hard on the wife not to be counted as her husband's friend, wasn't it? The perfection of marriage wilt be the sum of the man and his lovers, just as it is the perfection of parenthood when children count mother and father their best, best friends. Looking for Trouble. "Ever notice it?" queried the man who proppends questions in sections "Did I ever notice what?" asked the party of the audience part. "That people who meet trouble half way nearly always stand on a corner and wait for happiness to come a long?" concluded the installment querist. Depends on the two. "You don't believe, then, that two can live cheaper than one." "I do believe," replied Tito wad. "Two ordinary women can live cheaper than the one I married."—Kansas City Times.

EXAMPLES OF MEDIEVAL ART Fina Stained Glass Windows Recently Received at New York. The two German windows of stained glass among the recent acquisitions belong in period to the early sixteenth century, at the time when medievalism passes over into renaissance. The color is lighter and paler than that of the preceding century and is secondary in importance to the design. In the examples at the museum are certain tints of yellow that began to be used in the windows of the museum as a taste changed in favor of lighter rooms. The subjects of the windows are St. John and St. Maximile against a background of tapestry and architecture treated so as to appear on the same plane as the figures. The author of the note on the windows in the Museum Bulletin says that the drawing is undoubtedly the work of a painter—and a very good one—of the Ober-Rhein school, and that as St. Maximile was bishop of Trier, the supposed source of the painting is probably correct. Very fine examples of the same period are those in the Colonne cathedral—New York Times. APPLES ONLY ON APPLE TREES Small Girl a Humorist, Though Probably Unconscious. A Washington man, while visiting a friend's place in Virginia, became much interested in his experiments in fruit culture. One day the visitor was making the rounds of the place, being in charge of a fruit farm, a daughter of ten, who acted as guide. "This tree seems to be loaded with apples," observed the Washingtonian, indicating a particularly fine specimen. "Yes, sir," assented the little girl; "father says this is a good year for apples." "Mr. glad to hear that," said the visitor. "Are all your trees as full of apples as this one?" "No, sir," explained the girl, "only the apple trees."-Harper's Weekly. Making Furniture Like New Where there are fine plinkle scratches on new furniture they may be easily remedied by using pulverized rottenstone, that can be bought ready for use. Put this on a soft fanlag and rub into the surface of the seat, back or arms of a chair or on the top of the table. It will not only take off the table, but bring a polish to the wood. To remove the rottenstone with a damp piece of chamois carefully wipe the wood, and when all trace of this is gone a bright lustre can be brought to the surface of the wood by rubbing it lightly with a soft piece of cheese cloth moistened with alcohol. The latter must be used carefully on the surface of the varnish and will ruin the appearance of the rocker or table if enough is put on to scorch the surface. No Smoke In Volcanoes. The materials ejected from volcanoes are chiefly vapor or water, lava, cinders, rock fragments and various gases. There is no true smoke emitted and very little perceptible flame. In volcanic eruptions, the gases "flames" are the glow of the molten lava and its reflection on the clouds of vapor. The passage through which the eruptive matter rises to the surface is called the chimney or vent and the bowl-like enlargement of it, commonly at the summit of the mountain, the best site, is called the crater. There may be a number of craters on one cone. Man's Heart Is a Shuttle. A man's life is laid in the loom of time to a pattern which he does not see, but God does, and his heart is a shuttle. On one side of the loom is sorrow, and on the other is joy; and the shuttle, struck alternately by each, files back and forth, carrying the thread which is white or black as the pattern needs. And in the ed, when God shall lift up the finished garment, and in the ed, when these threads it will then appear that the deep and dark colors are as needful to beauty as the bright and high colors.—Beecher. The "Infanta." Infanta is the title given in Spain and Portugal to the princes of the royal family, with the exception of the heir apparent, with the corresponding title of infanta being given to princesses. Since the fourteenth century the heir apparent to the throne of Spain has been styled prince of Asturias, and the heir apparent in Portugal, until the separation of Brazil from the mother country, bore the title of prince of Brazil. The House of Lords. The higher nobility or peerage o. England contains five ranks: Duke marquels, earl, viscount and baron. All persons holding these titles are mem bers of the upper house of parliament where they sit as lords temporal. The archbishops and bishops of the Essex established the diocesan or diprincipal. They are not peers of the realm, but have seats in the upper house. Looking for the Fifth. The leading lady passed down the avenue with her speckled bup pup. "That's the star," whispered the sweet singer. "Star." She laughed the low comedian. "Then I'd call her Jupiter. She has had four moons." "Four moons?" "Yes, honeymoons." Price Five Cents AT LEAST HONORS WERE EVEN. Rejected Sultar Found Words That Left Their Sting. She had refused him, and he stood twirling his mustache and looking quizzical until she was in a tearing temper. "What are you standing there for?" she demanded, stamping her foot. "Well, I am wondering," he said, slowly; "whom are you going to marry since you won't marry me?" "It's none of your business," she flamed angrily. "Oh, yes, it is," he drawled. "At any rate, I'm interested. I shouldn't like you to marry a fellow I didn't think well of, you know, since I came near marrying you myself." It seemed to her that she would faint with indignation. "You never came near marrying me," she at length managed to gasp. "I didn't think even of marrying you, and as to whom I do marry, you have nothing to do with it. I shall marry anybody I please!" "That's just it," he returned, thoughtfully "suppose you don't please anybody." Then there was nothing left to her but raving hysteric. F18H A FRIEND OF HUMANITY. Australian Species That Feeds on Larvae of Mosquitoes. That most animals have some specific function to perform is well known. Now, scientists claim that a species of fish exists in Australian waters which feeds on the larvae of mosquitoes and so reduces the prospects of malaria. It belongs to a family of carnivorous, of flesh-eating, fish which is frequently found in the temperate and tropic zone, and usually in shallow water. Very small in size, being only about $1\frac{1}{2}$ or two inches in length, it has, in the male, yellow and black-striped fins, while the eye is of a bright color, during certain seasons of the year acquire great brilliance.—London Answers. Glasgow for His "This orange marmalade comes from Scotland," said a grocer. "Nice on the Riviera, you know—also turns out a marmalade. "E visited the Riviera last winter. The sewage of Nice runs into the blue Mediterranean, and you can see it Mediterranean, and you can see water warming about it like great flies. "Sometimes it is washed ashore. You study it from the Promenade des Anglais—cabbage tops, bottle-wrappers of straw, orange skins, lemon skins, soft green masses of vegetable refuse. "And day by day Nice men patrol the shore, selecting from the garbage all the orange skins, which they throw in the barge bags. "Will you have the Nice or the Glasgow marmalade? The Glasgow? Thank you, sir." Bringing Out the Best. Do you know those people who always bring out your best? You should not be ungenerous or spiteful in their presence. That is a beautiful effect for a woman to have a sense of manhood of more thanduce their finest work in the world through the influence of a wife, mother or sister, who brings out the best that is in them. On the other hand, many men have perpetrated wholesale cruelties, have committed great crimes and left a trail of scars. In some woman, or an unhappy home, has brought out their worst. After the Honeymoon. "Boo-hoo!" sobbed Cynthia under her blue bonnet. "I don't believe you love me any more." "Wall, I do declare," laughed Jason as he washed the milk paul, "what put that idea into your head, little girl?" "Why, before our marriage you uset to honey me up and say I was a sweet as sweet cider and now you say I am soured." "Why don't worry, pet. Even the sweetest of sweet cider turns to vina gar after a time." Dorothy's Views "Mamma," said little Dorothy, "who makes Uncle Ben look so funny?" "Hush, child," hastened the moth or, "Uncle Ben is what they call 'wise old saw.'" Dorothy looked at the myriad of frowns on the old gentleman's face. "Mamma!" she whispered. "He looks so cross he must be one of those cross-cut saws like they saw big logs with." To Maintain Health There is an erroneous idea in the minds of many as to what constitute a strong physique. A man can be strong physically without great stature and huge muscles. If he has a wiry frame, a body that resists disease, he will be more physically capable of hard work. He will make it a full however, to take sufficient physical exercise to keep his system in good working order. Mental Struggle "A great struggle takes place in a woman's mind when another woman asks what her new gown cost," remarked the thoughtful thinker. "What's the answer?" queried the unsure woman. She's in doubt whether to cut the price in half and make the other woman envy her bargain, or double it and make her envy her affluence, replied the t. t. The amount of air that the average age man inhales in twenty-four hours will fill seventy-five hog heads and weigh fifty-three pounds. A judge in Baton Rouge has decided that bananas-skin and falls against and shatters a plate-glass window is no liable for damage to the window. All pistols sold in Texas have to pay a tax of fifty per cent. It is not the case that the pistols disposed of in that State for the past ten months are leased for fifty years, not sold. The leasing rate is about equal to the selling price. A notice against at the London机房 is Mist Dot Stevens. She was the victim of a railroad accident and had both of her feet cut off. Now has artificial feet, which are cleverly adjusted that the pedals of a plane present no difficulties to him. She was the victim of a sewerage problem that the sewerage problem has been solved by the city of Hanley, England. Its new plant for the purification of sewage, which cost $350,000 will dispose of 5,000,000 gallons of water from the beds is so clear that fish will live in it for an indefinite period. Recipe for Oratory. Representative Hobson, at the end of a brilliant speech on naval armament, was congratulated on his oratory. "What is your recipe for good oratory? a reporter asked. "I am afraid oratory comes natural," was the reply. "There is, though one recipe for it, old Job Walmsby's, but it is hardly satisfactory. "The wants to be a public speyker, dos't laud, lad? Job, in his Yorkshire dialect would say, 'An tha thanks dawn the mowth, the up mowth, the open it? That's right, I awn. Now, hark tha! When the rises to meek the spych, hit table, and open thy mawth. If now comes, tak'a sup o' water, an' hit table again. Then open thy mawth wider than afoor. Then, if now comes, 'k'thysen off, and leave public speykin' to such as me." One of World's Wonders. Mount Etna, now attracting the apprehensive gaze of the world after 16 years' retirement from active business, has furnished more material for travelers' tales than any other mountain on earth. Astonished Englishmen who have visited the Sicilian fashionable habit of climbing its highest peak—and some did so, to the amusement of the Sicilians, even in the dead of winter—have left on record in the exuberant language of their day the emotions that thrilled the r soul. "The man who treads Mount Etna is the man who lives above the world. Every river on the island can be traced from its mouth to its source." Ought to Be a Winner "Say," remarked the man with the absent hair, "I've got an idea for publication that would prove a bonanza for some enterprising joumalist." "Well, come on with the explanation," said the other party to the dialogue. "It's a daily paper without advertisements," said the bald gentleman. "Why do you think such a paper would be a success?" quoried the door. "Because of the enormous circulation it would attain," replied the party of the prelude. "Why, every man with a bargain-hunting wife would subscribe for it." Jews In New York. A. Poor Answer. Otto E. Schaar, president of the Waiter's club of New York, in a recent argument on tipping, said to his opponent, sharply: "Your reply is altogether beside the point and irrelevant. It reminds me of a woman's reply in a German court. The woman was accused of poisoning her husband. The prosecuting attorney said, "You have heard the evidence. The body contained enough arsenic to kill ten persons. What have you to say?" "My husband," the women answered, "was a big eater." Just Picked It Up.

The Business of Farming. the rule prevailed in farming which governs other businesses, the marvelous prosperity of the farmers in recent years would make the demand for farms so great that it could not be met without exhausting the available supply of abandoned land in the east and the unoccupied land in the west. The corn yield last year, according to the government Crop Reporter, was worth half a billion dollars more than in 1899, although the crop was smaller. The wheat harvest was worth nearly two hundred millions more for about the same number of bushels, and on through 12 principal crops, with a total increase in value for the 12 of a billion five million dollars. The prices for farm products have gone up, and made the farmers rich. They have paid off their mortgages and have been asking the banks to take their surplus money, even at the low rate of two per cent. Interest. Since corn and wheat and potatoes sell at prices from a half more to nearly twice as much as in 1899, it is important for the agricultural, or the amount raised to the acre, should be increased. This country cannot continue to export grain without increasing the yield. That increase must be considerable, even to keep pace with the demands of the growing city population, to say nothing of the increasing consumption of their crops by the farmers themselves, now able to enjoy luxuries they could not afford. Men with money rush into one business after another, frequently created by a passing fad, and lose their capital, forgetting that there is always a demand for the products of the farm, even in panic times. Men can get along without automobiles, but they must eat. The present profitable prices are to continue for a long time, in the opinion of the secretary of agriculture, for population has grown much faster than the farms; therefore the business of farming ought to hold the attention of those seeking success. There was a time when the West Indies swarmed with pirates, and merchantmen plying their trade in that quarter ran big risks of losing both crew and cargo. The pirates, the buccaneers and the whole lawless outfit disappeared before the advancing power of civilization, reinforced by men-of-war which were more than a match for the free-booters. Occasionally, however, some reckless spirits start out on a career akin to that of the rovers of the sea 200 years ago. Generally the experience is a short one. The United States revenue cutter Alginquon, cruising along the coast of Port Rico, fell in with a sloop which had been stolen from an island port. The vessel was rigged up in pirate style and the thieves aboard of her were planning a course of robbery, expecting when they had accumulated sufficient booty to escape to Santo Domingo and to enjoy their ill-earned wealth. Instead of this they stand a fair chance of languishing in prison. These are unpropitious times for the most ambitious pirate.

CONTENTS ABOUT $100,000 Package of at Least $50,000 Sent East by Los Angeles Banks Part of the Large Haul. Los Angeles, Cal.—Reluctant admissions made by the post office officials of three cities Wednesday confirm to some extent the belief that the disappearance of a register of mail pouch somewhere within the jurisdiction of the Kansas city (Mo.) post office last Saturday night will prove one of the biggest hauls in the history of the post office department. From private sources it was learned late Wednesday that a package of at least $50,000 in currency was among the contents of the pouch, which carried, in addition, an unusually large number of letters and packages containing money and other valuables to an amount which can only be conjectured, but which may reach $50,000 more. The pouch was in transit from this city to New York and the inspectors who have visited the case in charge refuse any explanation of the management which it became lost to in transfer from one responsible guardian to another as the department regulations providing for, the protection of registered matter are of the strictest. Disappearance Is Admitted. Disappearance is Admitted. That a pouch of value of dis appearance is present at the depart. m appears at Washington, by Postmaster M. H. Flint of Los Angeles, and by Inspector W. J. Vickery, attached to the Kansas City post office, who appears to have the case for investigation. In no case, however, was there any positive information as to the method employed in carrying out the report. The fact that the mail in process of transfer at the Union depot in Kansas City is handled in a temporary substation since the destruction of the regular branch office by fire several months ago, supports the theory that advantage was taken of conditions presumed to be more lax than ordi- The $50,000 package of currency which will undoubtedly prove to be the largest individual loss, was a shipment made by Los Angeles banks to their New York correspondent. Post master Flint of Los Angeles states that it would be impossible to demand for an item to even estimate the total contents of the miss ing pouch on the holders of receipts issued on the day in question had made adfavitas as to the matter trusted to the mails. Late in the afternoon some additional information relative to the package of currency, supposed to have been in the Charles Seyler bank and held by the Charles Seyler, of the farmers' bank and Merchant'a National bank of this city, who said: "According to our information, a mall pouch, made up on June 3 and leaving for New York on the following morning, has disappeared. A conservative valuation of the current value of the mall pouch and other banks of this city will be $50,000. The total amount is made up of between 30 and 50 packages, the exact number being difficult to determine. The missing funds were placed in the post office the evening of June 3, their destination being New York, where there being the Chemical National bank, to whom our portion of the shipment was consigned."

Chicago. — The Republican national committee by its work Wednesday day decided contests in two states at large and 14 districts, the not result being that 33 full and 2/3 full votes were added to the number already possessed by William H. Taft, 1912, who were given to Senator Joseph B. Foraker. The committee has yet to consider contests at large in four states, and a total of 38 distinct contests and two from the territories, involving a total of 94 votes. Previous to the meeting of the committee the number of Taft instructed delegates as far as it has progressed has given him 117 additional votes, or a total of 504 on the temporary roll call, or more than enough to nominate. The chief interest of the day centered in the Ohio contests, of which there were four, in the Third, Sixth, Tenth and Thirteenth districts. Taft was given the delegates in the Third, Sixth, Tenth and Thirteenth districts the Sixth district both delegations were seated with half a vote each. The Foraker men made a strong fight in this district because it was the old home of the senator and they were anxious to secure its votes for him. The Foraker delegates are Mark Shoup of Xenia and R. L. Glichrist of Lebanon, while the Taft men were H. M. Brown of Dishboro and Charles Q. Mitchell. The latter faction has been recognized for the last four years as regular. The day's proceedings opened with the hearing of contests from the Eleventh and Twelfth Missouri districts, after these coming the North Carolina contests, which were over the delegates-at-large and seven districts. These were not consolidated and were heard separately. Ohio followed North Carolina, and then came South Carolina, where only one contest, the delegates-at-large, was held. This was the hearing and the hearing of the cases from the First and Fifth South Carolina districts was passed until Thursday. With the end of the labor of the national committee fairly well in sight, discussion turned Wednesday to the possible make-up of the credentials committee of the convention, to which many of the contests will probably be held. The committee was around Harry M. Daugherty of Columbus, O., who arrived in the city. Mr. Daugherty is slated for the credentials committee from his state and it was general gossip that he may be chosen chairman of the committee when it is made up next Tuesday. Mr. Daugherty did not deny that such a sequence state was possible, and freely discussed the probable work of the committee. WILLIM E.

MANY CATTLE INFECTED Eight Per Cent of Mason City Dairy Herds Tubercular. Mason City—Inspectors of dairy herds, working among the cows which innish the milk for Mason City consumers have found on an average of 8 per cent of cattle affected with tuberculosis. The inspectors are working near the city at present and inspect from twenty-five to thirty head of cattle per day and of that number from two to three are affected. The herds are being cleaned as fast as possible. One of the significant things discovered is that herds which have free access to the open air the year round and which are in large pastures are free from infection. It is said by the inspectors who have had experience that tubercular germs are seldom found in range cattle for that reason. SENTENCES NEGRO Judge McHenry Gives Frank Brown Twenty Years.

Judge McHenry imposed the limit upon the negro and expressed regret that he didn't have the power to increase the sentence to a life term Brown's attorneys complained to the court that the convicted man was not given a fair trial and that there was prejudice against the men of the negro race. The statement was the answer. Judge McHenry, of Judge McHenry, who denied with much emphasis and force that Brown wasn't given as fair and impartial hearing as any white man. TORNADO WRECKS 200 HOMES. Five Are Dead and Many Injured at Charles City. Charles City.—A tornado struck Charles City at 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon, killed one man and four children, injured scores, wrecked 200 dwellings and barns, demolished a bridge across the river and a path of desolation. It is impossible that many may be dead in the ruins. Search is made very difficult. Many had warnings of the approaching tornado and about 3,000 persons sought safety in cyclone cellars. No business buildings were destroyed, though the tornado just missed the buildings of the Charles City college. At a recent election in Holt County, Mo., the people decided to put its only saloon out of business. PURSES GIVE UP WEALTH. Fifty Thousand Dollars Raised by Dunker Brethren Des Molines—Fifty thousand dollars, half of it in cold cash, the remainder in checks and drafts, was given by the German Baptist Brethren as the annual contribution to the missionary fund at the meeting in the tahernacle at the fair grounds Monday afternoon. Canvas bags holding the silver and gold, and stout iron boxes filled with the bundles of notes and sheaves of negotiable paper, were also formed in form before the meeting was closed with a long prayer of thanksgiving. Jingling and rustling, the money was poured into the contribution boxes by the enthusiastic churchmen. Aroused to fervor by the sermons and talks of the elders, who urged the sending of more disciples, to faraway countries, the Dunkers arose to the occasion with a record-breaking amount of money. At no conference in the past with such amount have raised for the support of the foreign schools of the church. Preceeded by and followed by open bushes filled with determined-faced men, the money was taken into the city where it was banked, subject to draft from the presiding elders of the church who have the missionary work held little or no fear of an attempt at robbery, but every precautionary measure was taken to insure the safe delivery of the money. Much of the money was raised in advance by the many churches throughout the country and sent to the church by the delegates who were largely in checks and drafts, the total amount reaching $25,000. Fullly this amount was expected, and it was the shower of dollars from the church at the meeting in the tabernae that broke all records. For two years the young men in ministerial passages up the collection, passed among the greeters, and then many were not reached and made their offerings by carrying up the money in person to the platform. MAY BE EXCLUDED Judges Certify Polls in Lincoln Township, Closed at 6 & Clock ship Closed at 6 O'Clock. De Moines...In the congressional contest Seventh district Thursday day there was no change in the vote. but Judge Prouty scored several advantageous points. In Polk county Lincoln township, which gave Captain Hull four majority, was assailed by Judge Prouty because the judges certified that the polls closed two hours earlier than the law provides. In Warren county Captain Hull's objection to opening up Whitebread township was overruled and the supervisors will hear testimony as to the alleged irregularities on Saturday. In Madison county it was decided to recount one preciet and this will be finished Friday. In Polk County Captain Hull conceived seven gavage to Prouty in Walnut township. The Croydon township missing poll book was found to be changed. Ten preciet were can vessed but the unofficial returns were not altered thereby. In Dallas county the question of whether the whole county will be re counted will be determined Friday morning. DUNKERS CHOOSE NAME Will be known as Church of the Brethren—Dodge Dress Question. Des Moines—Church of the Brethren is the new name adopted for their religious organization by the "Dunkers" at the business session of the annual conference of the four courts. After beated discussion for and against a change in nomenclature which lasted for three hours the name was adopted by a vote of the majority of the delegates. Christion Brethren and Dunker Brethren were the other names brought before the convention in the report of the committee. The old "official" name has been German Baptist Brethren. Striving to maintain peace and unity in the Church of the Brethren, the presiding elders and members of the standing committee refused to discuss the all-important question or radical changes in dress which has threatened to jar the foundations of the church to the extent of causing a rift. Brought up in the order of new business at the meeting of the conference at the fair grounds, the question was indefinitely procrastinated, scoring & distinct trump for the disheating members of the sect. Hart Is Renamed. Des Moines.—The Iowa delegation to the national republican convention at Chicago met in the headquarters at the Auditorium Annex Wednesday and chose Ernest E. Hart of Council Bluffs to succeed himself as the Iowa member on the national republican committee. The good work which Mr. Hart has accomplished while a member of the committee commended him highly. There were no other candidates. The organization temporarily affected at the time of the state convention in Des Moines, when the delegation chose him as the man in charge at the meeting. Hon. George-D. Perkins the veteran editor of the Sloux City Journal, is the chairman of the delegation, and will represent the state on the floor of the convention. E. E. Moore is secretary and L. F. Potter of the Ninth district, is treasurer. United States Marshal B. Clark of Ottumwa is the sargent at arms to the Iowa headquarters. WILL SEND ENVOY PRESIDENT'S REPRESENTATIVE TO CALL ON DOLLIER. SLATED FOR VICE PRESIDENT Rumor Has It That Senator Borah Will be the Man to Take Dolliver into it. Washington, D. C. June 12.—That President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft want Senator Dolliver to be a candidate for the vice president has been made clear than ever here. It is learned that a personal representative of both the president and Mr. Taft will be sent to Fort Dodge within a day or two for the purpose of impressing upon Senator Dolliver the idea that he ought to accept the nomination and reporting his attitude accurately to Washington. This representative will be a politician of importance. His identity is not disclosed. In view of the pronounced utterance made by 'Senator Borah of Idaho, that he felt certain that Dolliver would be named no surprise would be felt if it developed that Senator Borah was the man picked for this mission, but he refused to confirm this. It can be said definitely, however, that President Roosevelt and Secretary Thaft have determined to take action through a third party and that early and interesting developments are expected. Governor Sheldon of Nebraska is being mentioned as possible for vice president in case Senator Dolliver is not settled upon. But as things stand it looks more like Dolliver than ever. President Roosevelt and Representative Burton of Ohio had a long conference and there is reason to believe their talk was favorable to Dolliver. President Roosevelt and Secretary Thaft continue to give warm approval to his deputy pursued by Frank H. Hitehook. He has been sent great commendations and it looks as if he would have the administration's support for national commentren. TAFT'S TOTAL NOW IS 554. Chicago, June 12.—The republican national committee yesterday reached Texas in the alphabetical list of states while deciding contests for seats on the temporary roll call of the convention. The work settled cases involving two delegations at large and twenty-one districts, a total of fifty delegates. Of these Taft is certain to have forty-nine and he may possibly have fifty. The uncertain delegate halls from the Eighth district of Tennessee and it is not positively known how he will vote. He belonged, however, to the Oliver faction in that state, the majority of whom were instructed for Taft. When the committee adjourned for the day, counting the number secured by Taft as fifty, his managers counted the total number of delegates in the temporary roll call actually instructed and not including delegates for Taft either by indorsement declaration, to be 554. According to estimates made by the allies, the number is 539, this estimate being based on the latest figures by the "allies." The work of the committee yesterday excited much less interest than that of any previous session. The visitors who were numerous on former occasions were for the most part absent, and as a rule only such proxies were present, where the committee is sitting, as had business to transact. HORSEMEN IN DESPAIR Anti-Race Track Gambling Bill Con- Founds Them. New York, June 12.—The news from Albany that the anti-race track gambling bills had at least passed the senate and awaited only the signa- ture of Governor Hughes to make them laws was received with con- steration by the followers of horse racing in the metropolitan district. Even up to the last moment the pre- vailing opinion among the followers of the sport seemed to have been that something would happen to prevent the final passage of bills. "The result had been so close before and there had passed so long a period of time between the first vote and that of yesterday that they appeared to be sure that "the whole matter had been taken care of." Toft, Worms, Little Dogs WARN LITTLE 'PANAMA' Washington DC — In language that cannot be mistaken, the exact text of which was made public by the war department President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft have notified the Panama government that the elections in that republic must be conducted fairly. The circumstances attending this warning were given out for publication as if in preparation for active involvement by the part of the United States by the use of whatever force shall be necessary to make it offer. Ordered to Kill Rulers London, June 12—A dispatch to the Standard from Reval reports a tragic incident that, recently occurred there. A school mistress committed suicide two days before the meeting of King Edward and Emperor Nichols. She formerly was connected with the revolutionists, who, finding she would be admitted to the platform with the school children to welcome the emperor on his arrival, ordered her to commit "the terrorist act. It is thought she committed suicide to escape their vengeance. Billek Must Hang. Springfield, Ill., June 12—Herman Bilek's application to the supreme court to take up the question of changing its unfavorable decision so that the case might be sent back to the criminal court at Chicago for a new trial was denied by that tribunal. --- Discharged Because Doctora Could Not Cure.

TORTURED SIX MONTHS By Terrible Itching Eczema—Baby's Suffering Was Terrible—Soon Entirely Cured by Cuticura. "Eczema appeared on my son's face. We went to a doctor who treated him for three months. Then he was so bad that his face and head were nothing but red. We were going to fall off, so we tried another doctor for four months, the baby never getting any better. His hand and legs had big sores on them and the poor little fellow suffered so terribly that he could not sleep. After he had suffered six months we tried a set of the Cuticura Remedies and the first treatment let him sleep and rest well; in one week the sores were gone. He had a facial face. Now he is two years and has never had eczema again. Mrs Louis Lock, R. F. D. 3, San Antonio, Tex., Apr. 15, 1907." Curious Indian Custom The following curious custom is recorded by J. Owen Dorsey in his monograph on the sociology of the Omaha Indians: "In the spring when the grass comes up there is a council or tribal assembly held to which a feast is given by the head of the Hanga Gana. After people that sharing time has come and at command of the Hanga man a crier is sent through the villages. He wears a robe with hair outside and cries as he goes. 'They do, indeed, say that you will dig the ground! Hallo!' He carries sacred corn, which has been shelled and to each household he gives two or three grains which are mixed with the seed corn of the household." After this it is lawful for the people to dig up the soil and plant their crops. Little Lesson for Rufus. Uncle Erastus had been polishing his musket for half an hour; at last he gave it a final love-pat, and turned to his grandson. "Chile," he said, and put the bottle about 30 yards over dere." "Shore I Laude," Rufus agreed. The old man threw up the musket and balanced it rather shakily, "Whang!" it bellowed. "Now does you see dat bottle?" the old man demanded. "Yes, I does granddad." "I's powerful glad to hear dat, Rufe," the old man said, calmly. "It's been ahead from de way you sorted taters lately dat your eyesight was falling—but hit nikt. You's good fo' several yeahs nt.

The lawyer had sought to explain his sympathy; but to his consternation the Teuton icologically observed: "But I am again married." "You don't tell me!" exclaimed the legal light.

"After using Grape-Nuts I noticed improvement at once, in strength, and acerve and brain power." "This food seemed to lift me up and with me for better exertion, with less fatigue.

SPECIAL EXCURSION FARES From Chicago SUMMER 1908 AGAIN DECLINED WITH THANKS. Would-Be Contributor "Up Against" the Misanthropic Editor. The editor looked up as the caller came forward, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "Sir," said the latter, "you objected to the meter of the spring poem I submitted to you the other day. Because of this I have for the present dropped poetry and turned my attention to the art of the essayist. Here, sir, is a paper on 'Woman and Her Defects,' which I trust you will find to your liking." The editor stared hard at the title of the essay. "Woman and Her Defects," he repeated. "Are you a married man, sir?" "No," replied the caller, "I am not married." The editor laughed harshly. The editor hugged harshly. "You should choose subjects," he said, "with which you have had an opportunity to become familiar." And he handed back the essay on "Woman and Her Defects." How Things Went Ellott H. Peabody is one of the best-known men at the Worcester county courthouse. At one time he and a few others were interested in a business deal which they expected to put through on a certain day. He was able to contact the Mr. H—for particulars. A lady answered the 'phone, and said that Mr. H—was not at home. Mr. Peabody supposing it to be Mrs. H—said: "Well, perhaps you can tell me what I want to know. I only wanted to inquire how things went last night." "In a cheerful, reassuring tone, said: 'Oh, nicely! Mrs. H—is doing fine, and the baby weighs six and a half pounds. I'm the nurse.'" Lippincott's. In a Pinch, Use ALLEN'S FOOT-EASE. A powder.

An electric incubator has been introduced in Europe, the operation of which is said to be attended by aurer results than other methods, for the reason that it is capable of finer adjustment as far as heating and ventilation are concerned. One of the most difficult features of artificial poultry breeding is a preprocessing of fresh incubator air is supplied from underneath, the entering fresh air coming in contact with the eggs after being properly preheated by special radiators. This ventilation is controlled by opening to a variable extent the lateral slides fixed at the top of the apparatus. It should be remembered that ventilation plays the role of maintaining the life of the germ. With an ample supply of fresh air, therefore the development of the germ, any access of ventilation will prove detrimental; in fact, the surplus air will exert a drying action on the contents of the eggs. In this incubator the matter of ventilation and heating is looked after automatically. HAVE SURPRIUS OF FURNITURE. Writer Criticises Modern Methods of House Adornment. Most people have far too much furniture in their houses, and certainly the majority indulge in too much tea fabric. Too many curtains, too many antimacassars, too many mats and cushions, says a writer in Good Health. All these things collect and hold dust, and curtains shut out fresh air and sunshine. Carpets, especially in the rooms we sleep in, I would abolish. The bedroom carpet is a snare, and the geometer it makes its final exit the better for the family health. That great artist and critic, William Morris, once said: "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful. This is counsel many women might take to heart, thereby making their homes more beautiful, and undoubtedly far easier to keep clean and orderly." A Friend. What is the best thing in life? I queried recently. I have raised the same question aforetime, and found the majority of responses leaned to "human affection." Surely there is nothing that comes to us by the grace of God so help us, or this "self-fulfilling" God, who helps us, a wife, a sister or a brother, who knows the best of us and the worst of us, and who can love us still, ready to stand by us till the morning when our craft has grounded in the shallows or is helplessly stationary in maelstrom vortex, when we need all the strength our friends can give us, and our friend, simply to live!

Clinched His Statement They were cross-examining, in a Chicago court recently, a bookmaker who had been caught in the toils for playing some other game than his own. The third sub-assistant district attorney was intent upon a conviction, however, and was doing his best, none too successfully, to shake the testimony of the defendant. "You're sure of that?" he yelled, as the bookmaker stuck to an assertion that did not suit the case of the state. "Sure, I am certain." came the answer. "You remember that I said you hadn't 'fault.'" As you read to this statement of yours" "Swear to it Why, Mr. Lawyer, and judge, your honor, I'd bet a hundred on it any day." How Coal Grows. It takes a prodigious amount of vegetable matter to form a layer of coal, it being estimated that the present growth of the world would make a layer less than one-eighth of an inch in thickness, and that it would take a layer of vegetable matter to form a coal-bed feet in thickness. The United States has an area of more than 440,000 square miles of coal-fields, and more than 100,000,000 tons of coal were mined in this country last year—nough to run a ring around the earth at the center 8/4 feet deep. The scientists say that there is enough coal in the United States to supply the world for the next 2,000 years. In the Same Boat. An old couple in Glasgow were in a very depressed state owing to dull trade. Thinking their son in America would help them, they wrote stating their trouble, and that if he did not help them they would have to go to the poorhouse.

PROPER EVEN IN HIS SNORING Fallen Dandy Evidently Was Ideal to King's Messenger. When Beau Brummell, the celebrated dandy, was in consequence of his fallen fortunes, residing in Carlsbad, he had occasion to visit Carlsbad. Through the hotel the consul at the former place, he was enabled to accompany a king's messenger to the capital, and thus travel free of expense. When the messenger returned, the consul was curious to know how he and his aristocratic companion had fraternal upon the road. kind of a traveling companion did you find Mr. Brummell. He was "Oh, Mr. Brummell, indeed, indeed, sir; very pleasant," replied the messenger. Ah! And what did he say? "Say, sir? Nothing! He slept the whole way." "Sleep the whole way! Do you call that being pleasant? Perhaps he snorted!" The messenger acknowledged that Brummell did so, but immediately, as if fearful, so great a improper, as with great gravity. "Yet I can assure you, sir, Mr. Brummell smoothed very much like a gentle man." Level-Headed City Men Fight Shy of Number Thirteen. Of all classes of people, the business man has been justly given credit for being the most balanced and the least subject to emotional influences. Yet superstition occasionally shows itself in the commercial world in a way that is often very disconcerting to the realist. "Have a thirteenth floor in this building?" queries a part owner of one of the famous office buildings in New York. "Never! The thirteenth floor is sometimes difficult to rent, tenants would prefer to higher or lower. The 12 hoodoo affects more otherwise sane men than is acknowledged. Many of the most famous business buildings in the country have no thirteenth floor—the fourteenth story follows the twelfth. By following this plan we take the least risk. As the names of tenants are arranged alphabetically on the directory the omission is seldom noticed."—System. Mean Joke of Doctor The celebrated French physician, Ricord, was one day walking along the boulevards in Paris, when he met an old gentleman who was very rich, but who was at the same time noted for his extreme stinginess. The old man, who was somewhat of a hypochondriac, imagined that he could get some medical advice from Ricord without paying for it. "Doctor, I am feeling very poorly." "Where do you suffer most?" "In my stomach doctor." "Ah that's bad. Please shut you up." He said, "You can tongue so that I can examine it closely." The invalid did as he was told. After he had waited patiently for about ten minutes, he opened his eyes, and found himself surrounded by a crowd, who supposed that he was crazy. Dr. Ricord. In the meantime, he had disappeared. Crow Destroyed Pheasant Eggs. A party of boys while hunting for flowers discovered a pheasant's nest on the farm owned by Albert Hackett, north of this village, a few days ago. They visited the locality of the nest daily to see when the mother bird would begin to set, as at that time the eggs in the nest numbered 13. The other day when some of the party made the visit, a crow was found in the nest. When the bird was driven away it was discovered that each pheasant's egg had been punctured by the crow's bill and the contents sucked out, so that nothing but shells were in the nest—Manchester Correspondent Rochester Herald. Statues to Women In the streets of London there are only five statues to women. Four of these are queens and the fifth is Mrs. Siddons, whose statue as the tragic muse is in Faddington Green.

French economists noted with ap prehension the shrinkage of the birth rate. "At this decline," they reasoned, "the soothing syrup and kindred industries are going to the bad." Thereupon they called a convention to talk it over. He is in New York. An Atchison paper asks, "What has become of the old-fashioned boy who fought against wearing his Sunday clothes?"

One of India's Plagues. Wild beasts and snakes continue to kill vast numbers of people in India. During the last year the beasts have slain 2,000. Death by snake bites are reported to be 2,854, as against 31,797 in 1905. The greater mortality is due to heavy snakes, which drove the snakes into houses and homesteads. The Good for Gold "It's a deplorable thing, this creed for gold," said the mournful person. "Of course," answered Mr. Sisler Barker.

EXTREMEANCE IN GREAT Very few persons outside of the gittering circle of our enormously rich families, who constitute what is referred to as "the best society," can understand how any young woman is this or any other country girl upon her wardrobe such amounts of money as are afforded by the means of these families. The history of the world does not show such reckless extravagance is the way of dress. Nor, for the master of that, does the history of the world show so ricuous a use of money as that practiced by our own their strictly moral deviantments, lot of the man or woman who is not tempted to such foolish indulgences, which take the edge from life's real joy!

Bobby's mother was often distressed by her small son's laps from corrode speech, all the more because his ports from school were always good. "Bobby," she said, plaintively, one day, "way do you keep telling Major to 'set up' when you know 'kill' you?" She replied well, my 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 seated argument over the respective merits of their sires, when Johnnie clinched his argument with the following: "Huh, that's nothing!

Practiced Eye Needed to Locate the Valuable Timber. Mahogany trees do not grow in clusters, but are scattered throughout the forest and hidden in a dense growth of underbrush, vines and creepers and require a skillful and experienced woodsman to find them. He seeks the highest ground in a forest, climbs to the top of the tallest tree and surveys the surrounding country. The mahogany has a peculiar foliage and his presence soon detects the within sight, within sight, follow the hunter and then come the sawyers and hewers, a large mahogany taking two men a full day to tell it. The tree has large spurs, which project from the trunk at its base, and scaffolds must be erected so that the tree can be cut off above the spurs. This leaves a stump ten to fifteen feet high, which is sheer waste, as the stump really contains the best lumber. The hunter has nothing to do with the work of cutting or removing the tree, his duty being simply to harvest it to the extent he may amount to $500 or $1,000 a month, but he may travel weeks at a time without detecting a tree, and as he is generally paid by results his earnings are rather precari You Have Been Waiting for This.

Dawes' Good Advice to Young Men in Business. This is a hard world in business. It always has been and always will be. There are many good and generous men in it. There are many who will lend a helping hand to you in your adversity, but in the time of need you will not find them among the men who tried to get you to embark in speculation with your own business, which would help you to "easy money." 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 poor; second, to hold from those who are rich; third, to find what you need for yourself and yours. You will then, writes 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. Sore Nipples.

"What's all the row about?" the hungry man queried as the manager of the city restaurant was seen to rush excitedly to the cashier's desk and detain a departing individual. The waiter explained. For a month past some of the numbered checks had been missing, and it had been discovered that certain patrons were economizing on the food of the management. A man would order if one's worth and receive a check for the amount. Then he would secret the check when the waiter wasn't looking and order a quarter's worth more of catables. The waiter would then give a check for 40 cents, but when it came time to pay, the customer would use the 15-cent ticket to get by the door. "H'm," muttered the hungry man; "fine scheme," and in the excitement he passed a Canadian dime on the cashier.
