SPRINGFIELD TRAGEDY Again our boasted modern civilization has made a blot upon her intelligence by committing the grossest inhuman butchery and most heathen crimes ever perpetrated among socalled civilized men. Yet this most shocking killing and butchering took place in Springfield, the very heart of Illinois capital, in the shadow of Abraham Lincoln's monument, in hearing and in sight of the Governor of this commonwealth, and for two days and nights this drucken, heaten, ignorant, rowdy element overridden all law and order, and went anywhere shooting killing and lynching innocent men and women because they happen to be black, and still destroying their property which was the accumulation of half a century. As the result of this riot more than 8 are dead and 80 wounded, and fully 1,500 people are homeless and penitile. All of this was done upon innocent colored people. We believe like Governor Deneen, who says, "this outbrake upon innocent colored people is an intolerable as it is inexhaustible." It is indeed a most atrocious crime and every man or woman who participated should be severely delt with. The time has come in this country of ours that the Negro race must unite ourselves to assist the lawbinding citizen to quell, suppress and stop such feindish outbreaks as those of Springfield, Atlanta and Evansville. We as a race must not be so afraid, but be prepared to protect ourselves and our homes. When these brutes come to your home let him destroy your home over your dead body. Be brave, protect yourself; the world likes a brave man and abhor a coward—so don't run like a rabbit at everything, but defend yourselves. MOB VIOLENGE DEPLOR That mob violence, bayonets and bullets will never solve the race problem is the opinion of Rev. J. Cornelius Reid, pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist church, who in a sermon last evening discussed at length the racial troubles at Springfield, Ill. "Let right prevail, uphold law and order, and the Negro problem will take care of itself," was the theme of his sermon. The preacher said in part: "The city of Springfield, Ill., now takes its turn in furnishing the world with a new and bloody chapter and mob cowardice and race hate. The parallel comparison of the Atlanta riot and the Springfield mob reveals the same spirit; reason dithered, sane minds rendered incompetent, peaceful and harmonious relationship becomes a farce, religion a dream, the ties of brotherhood an echo, the power of education as a civilizer a thing of contempt, all because of the usual crime." 'The burning of homes, beating and killing of innocent people, is an evidence that all who were in the pathway of the mob, whether Negroes or protectors of law and order, were accessories after the fact to the usual crime.' The psychology of a mob of supposed rational beings is hard to determine. Can it be that this uncontrollable thirst for human blood comes from an honest desire to mete retribution to the offender regardless of race, because of such a crime? Or is it an inherent hatred of a dispicable race that is trying to claim all the rights of full manhood? The mob's indiscriminate action toward innocent Negroes will not in reality intimidate them, but will make the problem more intricate in its solution. 'The American Negro possesses the same progressive spirit, alertness of mind, keenness of observation, braveness of heart, inate power of resentment of a wrong, as the American white man, and justice alone can harmonize these similar forces. The racial situation does not present a dark aspect; all that is necessary is for the majesty of the law to be upheld by those in authority. Duty, must be the watchword. It is useless to attempt to reason with a mob of frenzied men—a determination to conquer, if need be, with bayonets and bullets in the hands of authorized agents of the law is the most effective solution of mob violence. "There are thousands of white men whose hearts beat as true as steel to the administration of justice and right, and the gravity of no crime committed by a human being can upset their reason. Gov. Deneen, Mr. Chaffin; Mr. Loper and the worthy sheriff are the type of men all oppressed citizens should look to for protection. There will be no retaliation from the Negroes as long as such men exist unless manhood be outraged to the most extreme limit of human patience. "The eye that never sleeps is watching. It is divinely written that wrong shall not always triumph over right. The homes of innocent colored people of America are constantly in jeopardy. The mob spirit is not confined to any special state. There can be no peace of mind among Negroes knowing that racial hate is robbed them of protection. Negroes must be protected, but first the Negro should learn to protect himself in time of danger. If the Negroes of Springfield had remained in their homes, defending them as best they could against a mad mob, and even suffered their bodies to be burned in ashes with their homes, instead of 'taking to the woods,' brave, modest and loyal white men would have applauded them and even died for such manifested courage. True sympathy cannot be extended to a coward. The Negro must prove his metal, and he cannot do it by cringing before a mob. It is the innocent Negro who is most concerned relative to to the acts of a freazied mob."—Sioux City Journal. 6th.. ANNUAL SESSION hold of Ruth No. 21. JURISDICTION OF IOWA, G. U. O. OF O.

When a man has used a remedy for thirty-five years he knows its value and is competent to speak of it. Eor sale by all druggists. Citron Tree and the Bible. Was the citron tree the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden of Eden? Some persons think it was. In any event it appears that "citron" would often be the right rendering in passages where the authorizes woman of the Bible gives "For instance in the Proverbs. "A word silk spoken is like piles of gold in pictures of silver." And in the Song of Solomon. "As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons." And again. "Stay me with dagons, comfort me with apples, for I am sick of love." Hia Discovery Cholly—You remember I told you yesterday that Miss Perkins 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 day to see what you know. Look it would be. So you know, September has only 80 salvel Doan's Kidney Pills bring the quickest of relief from backache and kid- mm backache and kidney troubles. Is that relief lasting? Let Mrs. Mary, M. Long, of 113 - N. Augusta St., Staunton, Va., tell you. On January 31st, 1903, Mrs. Long wrote: "Doan's Kidney Pills have cured me" (of pain in the back, urinary tron my troubles. Is that rule, lasting it. St. Laurent, Long of 113 N. Augusta St., Staunton, Va. tell you. On January 31st, 1803, Mrs. Long wrote: "Doan's Kidney Pills have cured me" (of pain in the back, urinary troubles, bearing down sensations, etc.). On June 14th, 1807, four and one-half hours later, the sax hadn't had kidney trouble since. I repeat my testimony. Sold by all dealers, 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. One by the Colonel. Some one had been telling the colonel about that sax could be fried on the sidewalk. "Call that hot weather?" scuffed the colonel. "Why, that's nothing, sah." "Think not, colonel!" "No sah. Why, Ah have seen it so hot down south, sah, that the popcorn popped right on the stalk." "And that's not all, sah. The juice in the cane in the next field turned to moisten, ran through the fence, mixed up with the popcorn and formed the finest combination of popcorn and moisten that ever crossed your lips, sah. Talk about hot weather? Huh!" Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. No Liquids. "Dose political meetings are fakes," grumbled the tail tramp in the green shirt. "Why so, pard?" asked his chum. "Cause last night I went to a meetin' billed as an 'overflow meetin' and there wasn't nothin' overflowin'—not even root beer." Is Pe-ru-na Useful for Catarrh? Should a list of the ingredients of Peruna be submitted to any medical expert, of whatever school or nationality, he would be obliged to admit without reserve that the medicinal herbs composing Peruna are of two kinds. First, standard and well-tried catarrh remedies. Second, well-known and generously used toxins. That in one or the other of these uses they have stood the test of many years' experience by physicians of different schools. There can be no dispute about this, whatever. Peruna is composed of some of the most efficacious and universally used herbal remedies for catarrh diseases, and for such conditions of the human system as require a tonic. Of such a tonic, one of Peruna's has a reputation of its own in the cure of some phase of catarrh or as a medicine. The fact is, chronic catarrh is a disease which is very prevalent. Many thousand people know they have chronic catarrh. They have visited doctors over and over again, and been told that their case is one of chronic catarrh. It may be of the nose, throat, lungs, stomach, and other internal organ. It is no doubt as to the nature of the disease. The only trouble is the remedy. This doctor has tried to cure them. That doctor has tried to prescribe for them. No other household remedy so universally advertised carries upon the label the principal active constituents, showing that Peruna invites the full inspection of the critics.

Libby, McNeill & Libby, Chicago Fabrics from Waste Plants. Scientists in many lands have been giving an increasing amount of attention to the problem of producing from the plant-world, substitutes for the fibers and fabrics now generally in use. To find a new cotton-plant or a new nax straw or a cotton-wish which take the place of wool or silk, or to put among commercial possibilities a new material from which to manufacture fine paper, are among the aim. Four inventors have recently reached what they claim to be success, each in his own particular search and descriptions of their products showing how widely varying results are being attained, are printed in the Technical World Magazine. From Ramie, a nettle which came originally from China, but which grows well in various countries, is made a fibre which rivals cotton for usefulness and has some of the beauties of silk. From the huge cactus leaves of our American deserts, a kind of fabric called cactus-leather is manufactured, which while not a substitute for cowhide, is useful for many of the purposes for which genuine leather is used. Pine needles are also being made to furnish a fiber which has qualities of usefulness in cloth-making, even clothing being successfully manufactured from it. And finally the Guayule shrub has been found to contain rubber to an extent which makes it commercially worth farming. The region of Luderis bay, where the great diamond find is reported, is in the extreme southwest of Africa, in a section known as Damara land, or Hereland. It has a coast line of 460 miles. On the north is Guinea, and the British possessions surround it on the south and east. The country some years ago came into the possession of the Germans. In the mountain region it is fertile, and in spots wheat can be raised. Copper and iron are said to be abundant, but the country has been prospected but little as regards the mineral wealth. Since the Germans have been in possession some attempts have been made to work the country. Windhoek is the principal town in the northern section. The diamond find is many miles from the town, and near the coast, in a section of country not known heretofore to be rich in diamonds. It is hundreds of miles from Kimberley and the other diamond-producing centers of the British South African possessions. The country is sparsely populated excepting with savages. Washington has a new local law which guards rigidly the employment of boys and girls. An age limit is provided, and careful provision is made for investigation as to the physical condition of those permitted to work. Examinations just completed at the national capital go to show that out of 1,700 children subjected to the legal tests the physicians rejected 75 boys and only two girls. This is held to be conclusive evidence that the girls are healthier than boys. No doubt the freer physical life which girls lead and the opportunities for exercise in the open air which they now enjoy, in striking contrast to past experience, have had much to do with improving their constitutions. But why do not the boys live up to the same privileges? One does not hear it said so often as formerly that there are no longer such opportunities for young men as were open to their grandfathers. Leslie M. Shaw, former secretary of the treasury, in speaking of his return to active commercial life the other day, exclaimed "Oh, the opportunities that there are in this country for the young man of push and enterprise! They are almost limitless. To me the field of business is as alluring as any romance ever written. There are always new chapters opening, new characters developing, new plots thickening." This is the kind of talk that has taken the place of the old wall over the good times that have passed. Contracts for furnishing single and double teams to the city of Boston were recently awarded to a woman. Her bids, tendered in open competition with men, were by far the lowest submitted, and she demonstrated her ability to fulfill the obligations. The award was popular, for the uniformity of the figures submitted by the men gave color to the charge that an agreement had been made among them to maintain a certain price. The woman made her own figures independently, and won. To Mrs. Ida B. Richardson of New Orleans has been awarded the Picture loving cup by a committee of the Progressive union as the citizen who is thought to have done most for the public service and welfare during the last year. Some of the leading shoe dealers in Chicago predict that many women in that city will wear sandals this summer. Some of the dealers have already laid in big supplies to meet the demand which they expect. Britain is troubled by Germany's success in aeronautics, dreading it is about to lose its advantage as an island. What has become of that Scotman's gun capable of firing a shell from London to Paris?

WILL PROBE KILLING. Injunction Prevents Burial of Mur- dured Dre. Mines. Man MARRIED FIFTY YEARS. Two Hundred Guests Pay Respects to Aged Couple. Des Moines—That the mystery surrounding the death of Morris H. B. Stein will be probed to the very depths was made certain when, just a few minutes before the funeral was to have taken place, Understaff L. F. Shank was served with an injunction from the district court restraining him from delivering or burrying the body. The injunction was issued by Judge Hugh Brennan on application of the mother, Jacob Stein, who had been murdered, and claims the woman is not his son's legal wife. Members of the Des Moines detective force have been employed on the case and it is possible one will be dispatched to Loudenville, Ohio, to gather data. The hearing on the injunction will be heard later. In connection with the injunctions against the undertaker, Judge Brennan issued an injunction restraining Mrs. Stein, the wife, from disposing of her property. The writ of injunction was issued against the wife as Mary B. Bayard, or alias B. Stein. The father, in his application for injunction before Judge Brennan, urged that the woman who now claims to be his son's wife is not so legally. The father urges that at the time Morris Stein is supposed to have been married to Mary Bayard he was in prison. The father urges that he was then lying at the point of death in the hospital. The father says that his son's first wife did not die for thirteen days after he was supposed to be married to Miss Bayard. Accordingly he urges that the woman now claiming to be his son's wife is not, and accordingly has no rights whatever to the body. The father desires the body buried in a Jewish cemetery. Mrs. Stein refused to answer the wishes of the parents. She bought a lot in Glendale cemetery and ordered the burial there. The wife has preference at law and she was all powerful. MAY CLOSE WIDE OPEN CITY. Clinton's Boast May Be Ended Through Law Enforcement. Clinton—Clinton, the "widest open town in the Mississippi Valley," as it is called, may not be so wide open in the future. Taking fright at rumors and murmurings heard about the city to the effect that there will be things doing if the saloonkeepers do not obey the mulet law more strictly, the keepers of saloons held a meeting and discussed their plans for closing their places of business at 10 o'clock at night, and keeping them closed on Sunday. An enthusiastic meeting of all of the young people's societies of the Clinton churches was held recently, when a temperance society of larger proportions than has ever been existent in Clinton, was called to address a wide spread sentiment on which to work in an impending crusade against the Liquor traffic in Clinton. EXPERIMENT IN OILING ROAD. Auto Club to Undertake Work When Read is Ready. Council Bluffs—Messrs. J. E. Hollenbeck, John Davis and S. S.

W. F. Baker, who has agreed to put the road into condition for oiling. Col. Baker said recently that he would not superintend the work. The citizens Gas and Electric company have agreed to furnish enough oil to cover a mile of road if the club will put up a fence. The committee will be about $200. With the application of this amount it is thought there will be a siratum fully six inches deep of oiled surface. Youthful Pair. Lose Babe. Fort Dodge—Living on a farm six miles from here the youthful Mr. and Mrs. Fred Swanson mount the loss of a two-weeks-old baby. The mother is 12 years of age, while the father is but 18, and they enjoy the distinction of being the most youthful married couple in this part of the state. Their marriage took place when the brides was 11 and the groom 17, the parents of both consenting. They went to housekeeping on the farm of the groom's father and have earned the highest esteem of the countryside neighbors by their industry and thrift. Creston Chautauqua, Paid Creston—The Chautauqua management announcement that after all bills against the association are paid for the season of 1908, and that will include about $150 for permanent improvements, besides the new auditorium, that there will be a cash balance in the treasury of $200.

Burtlington—The Dianmond Joe Packet line, running steamers from St. Louis to St. Paul and intermediate reports pointers a phenomenal passenger business for this season. Usually there is a shortage on passengers during the hot weather, but at this time the through and short line packets are crowded to their capacity. It is considered a good omen of improved business conditions throughout the Mississippi valley. MARRIED FIFTY YEARS. Two Hundred Quaddie Pay Respects to Aged Couple.

The wedding ceremonies were performed by a man. In the fourteenth century the armor of soldiers was so heavy that a fallen knight was unable to raise himself from the earth unassisted. At the railroad station of provincial town in England an impatient soldier was waiting for the much overdue train on the branch line. Once more he approached the sleepy-looking porter and inquired for the wintenth time: "I can't remember an ing soon." The porter was sitting along the track, and a glad smile illuminated the official's face. "Ah. yes sir," replied the porter, "it'll be getting near now. Here comes the engineer's dog." Flowers are now artificially perfumed by subjecting them to a bath of carobolic acid gas charged with the necessary essential oil.

MAGNETIC BRAKE FOR TRAINS New Device, it is Claimed, Can Be Applied by Hand. magnetic track-brake recently developed by the British Thomson-Houston Company is interesting because it may be applied by hand and is ideal for vehicles and emergency stops. Says the Tramway and Railway World (London), as abstracted in the Electrical Review (New York): "The brake consists of two steel shoes, each formed of a number of poles placed so that they alternately become north and south poles when the current is passed through a single exciting coll. Excited in this way, the shoes are drawn down upon the rail midway between the wheels of the train, and the current is furnished by the motors, running as generators, thus rendering the brake independent of the trolley circuit. Between the two shoes is connected a channel iron and a system of brake-levers and chains attached to brake spindles at each end of the car to enable the shoes to be pressed down upon the track by hand in the usual manner of track-brakes. It is intended to be used for coiling the speed of the car on downgrades, and for slowing up under usual conditions. When thus used the car can be stopped either by increasing the pressure due to the hand-lever, or by exciting the electromagnets. The thrust occasioned by the retarding action of the brake is taken by a tongue-shaped steel bracket, which is bolted to the truck and engages with jaws on the sides of the brake. The nearest pole of the brake are attached to the poles of the magnet, and the bolts may be renewed when necessary. The exciting colls are entirely inclosed in a water-tight case." Some men are born bald, some achieve it, and others acquire it after marriage. FREE FARE TO AND FROM IOWA STATE FAIR CLIP THIS OUT AND BRING IT WITH YOU We will pay the R.

It was all over her body but the worst was on her face. She was scratched all the time and could not sleep night or day from the scratching. I had her under the doctor's care for a year and a half and he seemed to do her no good. I took her to the best" doctor in the city and he said that she would have the sores until she was six years old. But if I had depended on the doctor my baby would have lost her mind and died of eczema. I added to Cicutica Soap and Cicutica Ointment and she was cured in three months. Alice L.

In this age of leveling up and leveling down, and of attempting to place women on the same plane as men in everything, chivalry is nearly a dead letter.

FLEET LEAVES NEW ZEALAND. American Battleships Sail from Auch land for Sydney. Auckland, N. Z. — The American Atlantic boat departed for Sydney at 8:15 a.m. clock Saturday morning.

Mr. Sankey was 68 years old. For the last five years he had been blind and had suffered from a complications of diseases brought on by the virus, but he worked at hymn writing. His tours throughout this country and Europe with Dwight L. Moody, the evangelist, brought him into wide prominence. Sankey, it might be said, wrote the gospel hymns of the world. In China, Egypt, India, Japan, in almost every language known to man, Sankey's hymns are sung. He received a large income from his publications and leaves a considerable estate. Amogd Mr. Sankey's most familiar companion, John W. Mistlewood, "When the Mists Have Rolled Away." His songs are said to have had a circulation of more than 50,000,000 copies. He was a rapid composer and wrote book after book of gospel hymns. During the last five or six years of his life he was interested in preparing and publishing the story of the gospel hymns. At the same time he saved his wonderful voice for posterity by singing into phonographs and recounting it all over the world. Moody first met Moody at a Y. M. C. A. convention in Indianapolis. Moody was so charmed with the young man's voice that he urged him to accompany him on his evangelistic tours. Sankey explained that he was married and could not give up his position. "You must come," said Moody; "I can't get along without you." Sankey consulted his wife and they cast a spell on the world, visiting Great Britain from 1873 to 1875, and again in 1883, and made many tours throughout the United States. SHOOTS BRIDE AND SELF.

EXTRADITION WILL BE ASKED Mrs. Stein is Calm when Arrest is Made, but Mrs. Bayard Weeps. Ashland, O., Aug. 21—At an early hour this morning Prosecuting Attorney George F. Frey issued a statement to the effect that Mrs. Morris B. P. Stein and her mother, Mrs Sarah Bayard, both of Des Moines, have been charged in the affidavits with complicity in the murder of Morris Stein and Miss Hester Porter. While the coroner's inquest is not completed, he has advanced to such a stage that extradition warrants to the governor of Iowa will be applied for shortly. The examining physician declares he finds no trace of the two bullets which were supposed to have killed Miss Porter. A rounded instrument, he declares, may have produced the wounds from which the woman died. The path of the supposed bullets could not be traced. Des Molines, Aug. 21—Early yesterday morning a telegram was received at the local detectives' headquarters from the officials at Loudonville, directing them to detain Mrs. Stein and Mrs. Bayard until further notice. Before acting, however, Chief Johnston demanded the warrant, or a memo to the effect that a warman had been issued. A reply was received to the telegram late yesterday afternoon as follows: "Copy of warrant mailed you tonight." The telegram was signed Coroner Ash. Upon the receipt of this message Chief Johnston sent Detectives Andrew Brayford of the local force and William McGregor of the Chicago detective bureau to the Stein home, 1715 Clark street, instructing them to take the two women into custody. In the absence of the warrant issued yesterday from the county attorney's office at Loudonville, Detective Brackett had armed himself with two telegrams, one directing the local officers to hold the women and the men been issued and was now on the way to Des Moines. These were shown to Mrs. Stein, who examined them minutely. Then returning the messages to Detective Brackett and turning to her mother, Mrs. Stein said: "We might as well go, mamma. You had better get ready." REPUBLICANS ASK FOR MONEY. Assistant Treasurer of the National Committee Makes Appeal. Republicans Ask for Money. Chicago, Aug. 21. An appeal to the floor of the republican party for aid in financing the national campaign was sent throughout the western states by Fred W. Upham, assistant treasurer of the national committee. Mr. Upham in his appeal says: Both the New York and Chicago headquarters of the republican national committee have been opened and the work of the campaign is well advenient. The Taft and Mr. Sherman is essential to the welfare of this country and perfect organization is necessary to elect them. To secure a perfect organization the national committee must be liberally supplied with funds. Congress recently enacted a statute making it unlawful to solicit money for political purposes from corporations. All the funds therefore for the campaign must be supplied by individuals. You are requested to submit your business associates, and ask each to send a check. Please he as liberal as possible, as it will take a large amount of money to pay the expenses of organization, the postage, printing, speaking bureaus and variegated business are absolutely necessary to success. BIGAMY CHARGE DROPPED W. M. Carley May Be Tried for Desertion Only. New York, Aug. 21.—District Attorney Jerome's representative who has charge of the Carley case here is authority for the statement that all charges save that of desertion will be dropped when William M. Carley's case comes to trial. Carley again yesterday denied that he and Miss Solomon were ever married, the district attorney's office, however, did not inform the case and an effort is being made in Iowa to ascertain whether or not the marriage was ever solemnized there. Upon the information received from Iowa will depend largely whether the bigamy charges against Carley will be pushed. William Bluffs, Aug. 1, 21.—William M. Carley and Gussele Solomon will counsel Council Bluffs. But instead of Gussele Bluffs was Augusta. The marriage license records show that the couple came and were married Jan. 1, 1907. They both gave their ages as 190 and Des Moines, E. B. Gardiner, justice. They performed the marriage ceremony. Road Agress With Operators Washington, D.

We like to defend our indulgences and habits even though we may be convinced of their actual harmfulness. A man can convince himself that whiskey is good for him on a cold morning, or beer on a hot summer day—when he wants the whiskey or beer of the day. Furthermore, of people who suffer headaches and nervousness year after year but try to persuade themselves the cause is not coffee—because they like coffee. "While yet a child I commenced using coffee and continued it," writes a Wis. man, "until I was a regular coffee feud. I drank it every morning and in consequence had a blinding headache nearly every afternoon. "My folks thought it was coffee that did not admit it was the cause of my trouble, so I stuck to coffee and the headaches stuck to me. "Finally, the folks stopped buying coffee and brought home some Postmum. They made it right (directions on pkg.) and told me to see what difference it would make with my head, and during the first week on Postmum my old affliction did not bother me once. From that day to this we have used nothing but Postmum in place of coffee—headaches are a thing of the past and the whole family is in fine health."

EXAMPLES OF MEDIEVAL ART Fine Btained 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 windows in the middle of the fifteenth century, as taste changed in favor of lighter rooms. The subjects of the windows are St. John and St. Maximine against a background of tapery 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 school, and that St. Maximine was indeed of Triest the supposition that the glass is from that source 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.

"This tree seems to be loaded with apples," observed the Washingtonian, indicating a particularly fine specimen. "Yes, sir," assented the little girl; "fathers this is a good year for apples." "I am glad to hear that," said the visitor. "Are all your trees as full of apples as this one?" "No, sir," explained the girl, "outs the apple tree."—Harper's Weekly. IMPROVED FORM OF INCUBATOR. Operated by Electricity, Better Results Are Secured. An electric incubator has been introduced in Europe, the operation of which is said to be attended by supersult 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 proper supply of air. In the electrical incubator air is 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. While an ample supply of fresh air, therefore, is extremely important for the development of germ, any excess of air provision will prove detrimental. In fact, the airsurf 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 SURPLUS OF FURNITURE. Writer Criticizes Modern Methods of House Adornment. Most people have far too much furniture in their houses, and certainly the majority indulge in too much textile fabric. Too many curtains, too many antimacassars, too many mats and cushions, says a writer in Good Health. All those 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 softer 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 helpful as this "friend," but we are not alone. We are a friend 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 God can give simply to live, like Homo sapiens. We have a friend who is soon realizes, and how priceless no words can duly say.-- Home Chat. Clinched His Statement They were cross-examining, in a Chicago court recently, a bookmaker who had been caught in the tolls 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 must have that agent around only." "I do that." "And you swear to this statement of yours?" "Sweat it to 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 coal to form a coal-bed ten 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—enough to run a ring around the earth at the center ½ feet wide and ½ feet high. Competent coal miners that have coal in the United States to supply the world for the next 2,000 years. In the Same Boat An old couple in Glasswow were in a very depressed state owed to dull trade. Making 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.

"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 at the expense of the management. A man would order 12 cents' worth and receive a check for the amount. Then he would secrete the check when the waiter wasn't looking and order a quarter's worth more of eatables. The waiter would then give a check for (40 cents) but then 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. 60 YEARS EXPERIENCE PATENTS TRADE MARKS DESIGNS Copyrighted & c.
