That a boat instead of a wagon is used by the rural free delivery mail carrier at New Suffolk, L. I.? The route lies along the shores of a small protected bay. That a man should want to pass all his time standing on his head? The man in question is an inmate of a Vienna asylum and requires constant watching lest he injure himself by the practice. That the Berlin police have issued an order forbidding public houses to sell "cold drinks" below a certain temperature? They have concluded that such drinks are bad for one's digestion. That a letter mailed from Yankton, S. D., in the August of 1885 should just have been returned to its writer? The letter followed the man to whom it was addressed for several years; passed a few more in a hotel clerk's safe, and at last started on another tour after the man who had mailed it. That a clock which strikes thirteen should be used in the Bridgewater Trustees' extensive collieries, Lancashire, England? The employes complained that they were late returning from lunch because they did not hear the old clock strike one. That hundreds of horses and thousands of cattle in the Hawaiian islands never take a drink of water? M. MAJOR WILLIAM WARNER, CHAM PION OF THE RIGHTS OF MAN. Among the sterling qualities constituting the make-up of Maj. Wm. Warner is one in which the colored man is vitally interested, namely "The rights of man." Now and then is recalled the very eloquent plea which the Major made in the interest of the colored race in his address before the Grand Army encampment at Detroit. In part he said: "To-day the Grand Army of the State of Missouri is an organization for its age, second to none of the departments of the Grand Army of the Republic. We march there with out colored posts in that state. When these black men or white men or whatever color or nationality they may have been shouldered the musket in the defence of the Union, it was not a question of etiquette, it was a question of patriotism and loyalty. Let me say to my brave comrades of the south that are enduring insult because of the colored posts, that during the fierce struggle from 1861 to 1865, if you lay wounded, if you were surrounded by the enemy as thick as a swarm of bees, at any moment you were liable to see a black face crawling up to you and when he came you knew he was your friend. Yes, the color of his skin was his shibloeth and his pass word to loyalty. He went to the field and fought for the flag of the country, a flag that never up to that time had protected him in anything but bondage. It has been my determination to recognize as a comrade the equal rights of every man no matter what his color or nationality—provided he has two qualifications: Service and an honorable discharge. Therein may be seen that in the very nature of this grand old hero lay that deep sense of justice and fairness characteristic only of men who believe in the brotherhood of man and the fartherhood of God. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. Fat women show no mercy to thin women and vice versa. Once there was a woman who couldn't be fattered, but she wasn't alive any longer. A girl never gets tired of having a man chase after her who gets tired of it now and then himself. You never find a woman who knows how to make a handsome doylie wasting her time on lecturing before women's rights societies. The things that a woman eats because they are good for the complexion are as numerous as the things a man does not eat because they don't go well with drinking—New York Press.

MOBERLY EXCURSION. $1.25—Round Trip—$1.25 SUNDAY, JUNE 14th, visi WABASH LINE. Grand Outing—Baseball—Band Concerts—Beautiful Parks and Picnic Grounds. KANSAS CITY MO., FRIDAY, MAY 15, 1903. FIFTH EPISCOPAL DISTRICT OF A. M. F. CONFERENCE A. M. E. CONFERENCE. Matters in connection with the Fifth Episcopal District of the A. M. E. Conference, under the leadership of Bishop C. T. Shaffer, have not been running smoothly for the past several years, in fact, adverse criticism among and on the part of the people of that connection, is becoming the topic of the day, and especially is the fact noticeable in Kansas City, Mo. Following the establishment of the A. M. E. connection, many of the preachers who were selected to fill the pulpits in Kansas City, and who demonstrated to the public their peculiar ability, strong character and individual uprightness, though apprised of their general satisfaction, have been removed to other charges at a critical period, a time when they were most needed. In some instances the conference has been conducted under a policy smattering of individual preference, thus giving the complexion that an individual is bigger than the great church. The opinion prevails that when a man makes a good general, can organize his fort and hold it, he is worthy of serious condiseration and we question the wisdom of changing him for the other fellow when it is far more feasible and to the interest of the church that he should be retained. The condition is far from being satisfactory. The thrift and progress of the church, especially in Kansas City, is being retarded, decreasing instead of increasing. The Ebenezer, Allen chapel and St. John churches are fair examples of the situation. The people appeal to the Bishop to send men here who are good managers and financiers, the competition is so strong that we must have them. No Harm in Moderate Smoking The London Lancet says that "there is no reason for believing, that smoking tobacco in a rational way is productive of harm."

The difficulty in damaging a war balloon in midair was recently shown by tests made in Austria. The experimenters anchored a balloon at a height of 7,000 feet and had gunners who had not been given the distance try to disable it. It required twenty two shots to find the range, even ap proximately, and not until the sixty fourth round way the balloon hit. It then sustained but a slight tear which caused it to descend slowly. Valuable Australian Timber Fauri wood tastes perfectly under ground for twenty-five years. Jarrah, another Australian timber, has been tested for thirty three years beneath the sea, and found sound at the end of that time. Missionary Killed by Tiger. The Rev. Father Glader, a Catholic missionary priest, was recently killed and partly eaten by a tiger near Soner swa, in Bengal, where the reverend gentleman was stationed. The Sensation of Laughter. In his book on laughter James Sully says: "There is in laughter, from the first ejaculation, something of a biting sensation or something of a melancholy pain," and, again, "The laughable spectacle commonly shows us in the background something regrettable."

He reports his work as being in a most excellent condition. Prof, W. T. Vernon of Western University and Rev, H. H. Triplett were pleasant callers in Independence Sunday. The professor is busily engaged in preparing for his commencement. Mr. Miles Washington of Lexington, Mo., was the guest of Rev, and Mrs. Caldwell Sunday. Miss Lutte ohlinson, one of our most esteemable young women, died last Tuesday after a long illness. She was taken to Boonville Thursday and interned at that place. We tender our sympathy to the bereaved mother. The Musical concert given by Mme. Lucas of Kansas City, Kan., and Miss Green of Kansas City, Mo., assisted by some of the best local talent, was highly appreciated by the splendid audience present. Mme. Lucas is a vocalist of rare ability and easily sustains the title as "The Nightingale of the 20th Century." Prof. Lewis' renditions on the piano were much enjoyed. We are glad to welcome home again Misses Fannie Griggs and Annie Douglas, who have been attending college at Wilberforce, Ohio. Mr. Thomas H. Robinson, the only son of Mrs. Croshaw Conner, departed this life Sunday May 10, after a brief illness of three days. He was a young man of excellent parts, polite, courteous, and noted for his devotion to his mother. His funeral services were held at the A. M. E. church Tuesday, Recy. J. C. Caldwell officiating. Our heart goes out to the bereaved family in this sad hour. Prof. Williams, principal of one of the Kansas City schools, together with his wife, also Mr. John Rowe and wife of Kansas City were here last Tuesday attending the funeral of their brother. Miss Myra Rountree was called to Warrenburg last week on account of the death of a relative. The Guinea-Witch Band will make its first appearance at the A. M. E. church Thursday May 21st.

Every one is expected to get straightened up with his class leader by that time. The Stewards department desires to make a good record this quarter. We have nine new trustees. We hope they will work together for the success of our church as did the old board. They were all good and faithful men and did all they could. Of course, some of them have served us for the past ten or fifteen years, yet they are new, that is newly elected this year. We hope the members of the choir will not begin to drop out. All their voices are needed to make the music ring. The new tenor voice is quite an addition on that side of the organ. His voice sounds excellent in the obligato parts of "Consider the Lillies," the selection the choir sung Sunday evening. Services were well attended Sunday and a number of visitors from out of the city as well as from neighboring churches were present. Our services are forced to begin late on account of the congregation gathering so slowly. It must be discouraging to preach while people are marching in doors to be seated near the altar. Why can't we go to church at 11 o'clock. Dr. Scott spent a few days in Jefferson City this week. The entertainment for the benefit of the old folk's home was announced at both services and all should do what they can to assist in this worthy cause. A GOOD HOUSEKEEPER WILL NOT Waste the starch.

NUMBER 13. GLEANINGS FROM PLEASANT GREEN BAPTIST CHURCH. Located in rear of Independence and Tracy avenues, Kansas City, Mo. Sunday school opened at its usual hour 9:30, superintendent being absent, Rev E. M. Wilson, pastor, opened the services. Lesson taught by teachers, which was very timely. Explanation from Cluster leaf by pastor, which was plain, instructive and exceedingly interesting. At 11 o'clock praise meeting. As this was the second Sunday in the month Choir entered box, and at the behest of the pastor, peeled forth in sweet strains, "Oh. How Lovely Is Zion." Congregation read fifty-third chapter of Isa, led by pastor. Song by congregation. Prayer by pastor. Choir sang "Jesus keep me near the cross." The praise service was very strengthening, and as the Christians expressed the sentiments of their hearts, it seemed as if no human voice could whisper words of peace and comfort more strikingly than they. While choir sang doors of the church were opened for the reception of members, and one, Mrs. Elena Van, of Iola, Kan, came forward, and became a watchkeeper member of the church, until her letter could be obtained. While collection was being taken, choir sang "Nearer My God to Thee." "Sweetly in Music Swelling." After collection choir song "God Be With You." Dismission. At 2:30 deacons union met and they had a splendid service. From their talks their motto was "All true greatness, strength and consistency of character in man, all honor, success and joy in life must be founded upon faith in God."

SCIENCE HAS DONE MUCH TO PRESERVE THE BABES Their Chances of Longevity Now Infinitely Greater Than They Have Ever Been—Many Causes That Have Contributed to This Very Desirable Result. "Born in the year 1903" is a phrase promising more significance to the obituaries of the future than such a phrase ever before meant to humanity. For the babe born in this year of grace has three times the chance that a baby ever before had for reaching its first year, and it has five times the chance of passing its fifth year of life. Why? In the first place, in spite of all that grandma may indicate to the contrary, the mother of today knows more about children than mothers ever knew before; in the second place, the doctors know more than they ever did; and, in general, there is a more earnest attempt at child saving than ever before in the history of the world. an unbroken record of grand reaching three score and ten of longevity a company will ban strongly than on almost any ture of an application. As to le in general, however, M. Flour said that man, in common with animals, should live to an age aging five times the period growth. Fixing this growth at years, he has held that 100 should be the reasonable limit Among the most sanguine of grand-mothers thirty years ago the great fear audibly expressed was that "Jane will never raise that child." One hundred years ago in the workhouses of Great Britain there were twenty-three deaths of children under one year old to every twenty-four births in those asylums, and nothing unusual was thought of the rate of mortality. Meissner announced fifty years ago that from one-third to one-half of the children born in Europe died before they reached the age of one year. Twenty-five years ago statistics in the United States and in Great Britain showed that one-fourth of the total number of deaths were of children in their first year, while Eros shows that in the cities of Europe in 1899 the death rate was far out of the proportion which might be expected of the advance in pathology and sanitation. Three years ago an estimate was made of the comparative mortality of children in half a dozen cities in the United States, the comparison being made with the total number of deaths from disease. The average of deaths under one year and under 5 showed in comparison with the total deaths a proportion of 28.8 per cent. In general the deaths of infants and young children averaged half under the age of two years, due wholly to the group of communicable diseases—scarlet fever, diphtheria and measles. Of this group of three diseases in one year New York had a death showing of 20,000 children, while 15.5 per cent of its total death rate was of children suffering from diarrheal troubles. Antitoxin as applied in cases of diphtheria has been one of the great agents in the preservation of infant life. Vaccination has been another; knowledge of the dangers of measles and whooping cough has been another; a certain marked disposition of some diseases to decrease in virulence has been considered, and, above most other things, having bearing upon the preservation of infant life, the precautions in feeding children in the hot months and in the sterilizing of feeding bottles have been marked. Taking longevity as one of the desirable things of life, the parent of the child, young and old, may be interested in looking at his offspring for some of the physical indications of this longevity. An authority has attempted to tabulate a few of them. Before these, however, he generalizes to the extent of saying that heredity must be regarded; that climatic influences must be considered; that food, exercise and hygienic conditions must be taken as matters of course. Then: There must be the indications in the child of a harmonious development of the frame; symmetrical proportions must be regarded; the head must not be too large or too small; the neck must be neither too long nor too short; the chest must be developed, but the abdomen should not be noticeably enlarged; no class of organs should be unduly prominent; marked increase in stature, or a marked stunting of the natural growth is bad. As to ollmatic conditions, where the extremes of heat and cold are to be endured, the tenure of life is shorter than in more equable temperatures. Life insurance companies always have made a strong point of heredity in the history of the applicant: for an unbroken record of grandparents reaching three score and ten of biblical longevity a company will bank more strongly than on almost any other feature of an application. As to longevity in general, however, M. Flourens has said that man, in common with other animals, should live to an age aggregating five times the period of his growth. Fixing this growth at twenty years, he has held that 100 years should be the reasonable limit of life, only that a man's excesses and intemperate modes of living have made him the victim of his own caprices. Less to the point of definite limitation, however, another student of anthropology has written: "The type of civilization in which the efficiency of the community and of the individual is greatest; in which there is the most harmonious action between the body and the mind; the greatest happiness of the great number; the least excessive expenditure with the least of luxuriousness—this will be the state of civilization most favorable to longevity." ELIAS HOWE'S LUCKY DREAM. How Inventor Found Point Which Had Long, Puzzled Him. Elias Howe the inventor of the sewing machine, almost beggared himself before he discovered where the eye of the needle should be placed. It never occurred to him that it should be located near the point, and he might have fallen altogether had it not been for a remarkable dream. One night he dreamed that he was making a sewing machine for a savage king in a strange country. As in his actual waking experience, he was rather perplexed about the needle's eye. He thought the king gave his twenty-five hours in which to compile a machine, and if not finished in that time, death was to be the punishment. Howe worked and worked, and puzzed and puzzled, and finally gave it up. Then he thought that he was taken out to be beheaded. On his way to execution he noticed that the warriors carried spears that were pierced near the head. Instantly came the solution of the difficulty, and while the inventor was begging for time he awoke. It was then 4 o'clock in the morning. Howe jumped out of bed, hurried to his workshop, and by 9 o'clock a needle with an eye at the point had been rudely modeled. After that the rest was easy.—New York News THE STUDY OF CHARACTER. Little Things That Tell Much to the Observant. Character can be read in a person's carriage, it is claimed. Business takes long strides and has a quick, nervous gait. Stubberiness waddles, pointing determinedly to self with every step. Happy go lucky has a free and easy walk, throwing his arms and legs about as if hung on pivots. Dignity is studiously erect, measuring her steps carefully and looking neither to the right nor left. It is exaggerated style of the correct poise. Independence struts, positively tiping backward and swaggers his shoulders and upilts his hat, saying in appearance, if not in words, "A faj for your opinion." It is the little things in a day which combine to make up the events of a lifetime. We cannot be too careful in guarding the training of the body. Some are blessed with beautiful faces; others with fine figures; many have luxuriant hair and a graceful carriage. Yet it is possible for each to possess, in part all of these attributes of beauty, with study and practice. For Scientists.

THE IOWA IDEA (TARIFF REFORM) PROTECTION AS TO STANDING PAT LATEST ASPECT OF THE TARIFF REVISION QUESTION. The Plain Speaking of President Roosevelt, Secretaries Root, Shaw and Others Has Wrought a Marked Change in the Situation and Outlook. The changes that have occurred in the situation and outlook regarding tariff revision during the past few days are the subject of careful comment by a member of the cabinet in the Washington correspondence of the New York Tribune of April 7. If the speeches of Secretaries Shaw and Root, March 31 and April 3, respectively, were read and approved by the president before they were delivered—and nobody doubts that they were—the meaning and the intent of the President's speeches at Milwaukee and Minneapolis become all the clearer. His purpose obviously was to throw the entire weight of administration influence against the supreme folly of talking tariff revision at this time. Secretaries Shaw and Root delivered powerful designs designed to prove that changes in the Dingley law schedules in the direction of lower duties or no duties are not called for by any of the conditions of industry and trade; on the contrary, the country's interests will be best served by letting the tariff entirely alone, at least until after the national election of 1904. Right upon the heels of these public declarations by his two secretaries came, first, the speech of President Roosevelt at Milwaukee on the general subject of trusts, in which he took the ground that a remedy for trust evils must not be sought for tariff revision. The same week, at Minneapolis, the president fired his big broadside against any and all forms of tariff tinkering. If Secretaries Root and Shaw left any part of the ground uncovered in their speeches, the President certainly covered it at Minneapolis. In the language of the cabinet officer quoted by the New York Tribune, the President: "went direct to the territory where the ' Iowa Idea' is supposed to prevail. In both speeches he struck straight He Has Been Told Tha THE IOWA IDEA (TARIFF REFORM) out from the shoulder, and he rang the bell twice." In the same week Senator Allison gave out an authorized interview in which he said: "No tariff revision," and incidentally took occasion to say that in his judgment reciprocity in competitive products was a dream that has little chance of ever being realized. Senator Frye, the acting Vice-President, declared himself in equally positive terms. About the same time William Jennings Bryan was delivering a speech at Des Moines in which he praised Gov. Cummins warmly for his "progressive" tariff ideas and welcomed him to the Democratic fold. All this is interesting history. It means much to the Republican party and the country. It means, says the cabinet officer quoted by the Tribune, that—"Tariff reformers masquerading under the guise of Republicans will have to become classified under another name, or welcomed back into the ranks of the Democracy, as Gov. Cummins has been by Bryan. The Republican party, with Roosevelt at its head, will stand for no tariff revision, at least until after the next Presidential election. This is the lesson to be learned from the developments of the last week." From the temper displayed by the Iowa "progressives" it is evident that the speeches of the President and Secretaries Shaw and Root have not stamped out the " Iowa idea" so far as the leaders in the revolt are concerned. They still proclaim their intention to clamor and work and plan for the realization of their pet ambition. They want to go thundering down the corridors of time as the rescuers of the Republican party from the dire dilemma of too much prosperity, as the Moseses who shall lead that party out of the bondage of the Pharaohs of the trusts and into the promised land of a "reformed" tariff and "potential competition." These schemers for power and control declare it to be their fixed and unalterable purpose to go before the national convention in 1904 and demand a downward revision of the tariff. If they have their way they will force tariff revision as a dominant issue of the campaign of next year, in spite of the demand of the President and his advisers and the best brain of the --- party that tariff revision shall be entirely kept out of that campaign and not taken up at all until after the election of 1904. But the question is, not what these scheming leaders want, but what the people want. To be a leader one must have a following. Can these low disturbers succeed in winning the people away from the President and the great mass of the Republican party? Will the people follow them in the direction of the camp where Mr. Bryan stands reaching out his hands in eager welcome? It remains to be seen. We are inclined to think not Encouraged by Bryan. It is to be hoped that Gov. Cummins of Iowa is entirely satisfied. He is one of the chief exponents among Republicans of tariff revision. There are a few persons out his way who believe in tearing things up and who are followers of what has become to be known as the "iowa idea." They have been received with open arms by Brother Bryan. "Let us encourage Gov. Cummins," said Mr. Bryan at a Jeffersonian banquet in Des Moines on Thursday (Fancy Bryan looking to Jefferson for comfort!) "Let us encourage him, for every word that he speaks in favor of tariff reform or anti-trust legislation will have an educational influence." While Bryan was speaking in Iowa, Senator Lodge and Secretary Root were making addresses in Boston and taking the ground that protection had made the country great, and that to abandon it or to permit it to be ripped up by "tariff reformers" or "tariff revisionists" would result in a general upheaval of business. Gov. Cummins found no indorsement for his course among these Republican thinkers, but from Mr. Bryan he received praise. From which it would appear that the "iowa idea" is exceedingly comforting to the Democrats. Praise from Bryan! Certainly Gov.

Admiral Freemantle of the British navy, recently called attention to Great Britain's dependence and helplessness in case of war with the United States, and warned the British people of the perilis incident to becoming a nation of middlemen, with constant decline in the sources of domestic production. Great Britain ceased to raise its own wheat when it adopted the policy of free trade. The agriculture of Great Britain flourished as long as there was a duty on British grown wheat. The value of its acres have declined, and fields which bore large yields of wheat under high culture have been put into grass. The farms have been abandoned and the cities are crowded with population, thousands of whom, within the past few weeks, have marched in processions in London, asking for labor. There is no labor for them. Great Britain buys her bread a little cheaper in the United States and other countries, but bent on cheapness, she has lost the independence incident to her ability to raise the wheat. For a time she controlled the markets of the world for her textiles, iron and other manufacturers, but in these things the other nations have overtaken her, and now Great Britain helplessly deplores the decline of her foreign trade compared with her great rivals—the United States and Germany—Irish World. A Priceless Jewel. The richest market in the world, the priceless jewel of commerce, is the market of the United States. The protective tariff holds its treasure secure to the American wage-earners and all the American people. This is the simple essence of protection. It is the cardinal principle of the American tariff system which has been made a national policy by the Republican party; which, with the control of the "trusts," will be the great issue on which Mr. Roosevelt will go to the voters next year asking them to elect him President of the United States.—New York Press. X THE WEEKLY PANORAMA REMOVED STATUE OF KING. Few Formalities Attended Demolition of Edward's Counterpart. A feature of the Glasgow exhibition of the year before last was the colossal statue of King Edward VII, which stood below the central dome. They are still removing the buildings, etc., of the exhibition and at the end of last week the statue was "dealt with." The ceremony lacked fastidiousness. A noose was drawn tightly round the neck of the king, half a dozen navy helts hitched themselves to the ground end of the rope and—the great statue lay in many fragments. The charitable explanation is advanced that this course was taken to remove any chance of his majesty, when he goes to Glasgow in May, seeing himself as so many thousands had been led to imagine him. HAYTI WANTS AN EMPEROR. Colored Citizen of the United States Offered the Position. William Pickens, formerly of Little Rock, Ark., but who now calls Chicago his home, has been asked to become emperor of Hayti. All he has to do is to collect money for the equipment of an army, and to purchase a warship, transports, and provisions. Then the negro army hopes to attack Port an Prince, the capital of Hayti, and, if successful, eventually place the island under the protection of the United States. The government, according to the plan, is to be administered as a gigantic corporation, with A. WILLIAM PICKENS all the citizens as stockholders. All the land titles and franchises will be vested in the state. There will be no penitentiaries or jails, but all criminals will be provisioned and sent adrift at sea to seek other shores. Mr. Pickens is the Yale negro student who captured the Ten Eyck prize for oratory in February of this year. The suggestion that he lead a movement against Hayti comes from N. L. Musgrove of Sturgis, Ky. HARD ON THE MODEL: Enthusiastic Painter Almost Causes Death of Soldier. Charles Schreyvogel), the "painter of the Western frontier," works even in cold weather on his roof in New York. Recently he had a soldier for a model. The trooper was told to assume a recumbent posture, as if wounded. It was bitterly cold, but the painter became so absorbed in his work that he did not experience any discomfort. The soldier, accustomed to obedience, lay perfectly still. When Mr. Schreyvogel had finished he found this really model model so benumbed that he had to half carry, half drag him down to the studio and revive him with an alcohol bath (external and internal) before the poor fellow could stand on his legs again.

AS THE WORLD REVOLVES MAYOR AMES IS CONVICTED. Minneapolis Has Set the Country a Good Example. As evidence of its restored virtue, Minneapolis may offer Ames, convicted of bribery by a jury of his peers. In spite of the direct primary, in spite A. A. Ames of the general knowledge of his guilt, this flagrant patron and explorer of vice was four times elected mayor of his city. Nothing checked his unconcealed collection of blackmail from abandoned women and gamblers; nothing disturbed his brazen sense of security. Minneapolis supinely submitted to government by criminals for criminals. Finally, Ames was attacked by one of his own creatures, and the citizens, with virtue thrust upon them, awoke to action. It must be said that in Minneapolis the corruption involved only the dregs of society, not all classes as in St. Louis; else the work of reform might have been longer delayed. It is something of a novelty to see a mayor convicted of a penitentiary offense. Usually a subordinate suffers for the offense in which they both shared, and the world cynically despairs of reform at the top. Minneapolis has set the country an example and given other mayors warning. HEAD OF VAST INTERESTS. Morris K. Jesup President of New York Chamber of Commerce.

Marketing Online Briefs An Englishman in Russia thus tells his experiences: "When at Simferopol it fell to my turn to do the marketing for our little mess. Not knowing a word of the language, it was not an easy matter, but the inhabitants were quite interested in my work and did their best to assist me. By cackling like a hen and crowing like a cock I got eggs and fowls. Mutton was a simple matter, a single 'baa' being enough. Fish was the difficulty. The motion of swimming with my hands puzzled the natives, but on my putting one hand behind and waving it from side to side like a fish's tail there was a dead silence for a minute or two, and then with a shout of laughter one intelligent individual said something in Russian and tock me straight to the fish market." Got Bid of the Bare During her engagement in San Francisco Mrs. Patrick Campbell was taken for a trip around the bay. Among the party was a young man of the all-pervading kind, whose attentions to the noted actress were more lavish than welcome. As the party stood gazing on the city the young man said: "Do you see that house up there, Mrs. Campbell?" describing the location. "Yes," said the patient guest. "I was born there," remarked the numerous one proudly. He paused for a reply and this was what he heard: "What a pity." The young man managed to efface himself. Has a Sure Ague Curc, Kansas Man Declares Sudden Too Much for the Chills Work Getting Oth Kansas Man Declares Sudden Immersion in Icy Water Was Too Much for the Chills in His Case—Has Hard Work Getting Others to Do Likewise. Jonathan King, the "gobbler hunter" of the Ozarks, has a sure-pop cure for "ager." In a region of the mountains where the chills prevail lives the old man, who wins his sobriquet, "gobbler hunter," because of his prowess in killing wild turkeys. He is a man that is looked up to in his neighborhood. He owns a good farm and his heart is as tender as his outside appearance is rough. The poor mountaineers round about of this goodness of heart as do no others. His corn crib is open to them if the winter is long and cold, and his kindness to the hands on his farm is well known to all. But the thing that most distinguishes Mr. King is his tried and true remedy for the "ager." He never tires of telling his shaking friends about it and never ceases to urge them to get up the courage to try it once, just once, and, he assures them, they will never have the "shakes" again. He tells of his own experiences with the remarkable remedy in this fashion: "It was in the year of '76. Me and my wife and ten of the children were a shakin' to beat all, the whole summer and tall. Long toward Thanksgiving' the rest of 'em quit, but I kept on eatin' calomel and quinine and shinnydine and a shakin' my clothes to tatters every other day.

How Thompkins' Hair Restorer Cured His Wife's Cough While Her Remedy Started the Hair Growing on His Bald Pate—The Hired Girl's Part. Here's a story John W. Gates tells: "Did you hear about Thompkins and his wife? No? Well, Thompkins' wife had a cough, so she told him to get her a bottle of cough medicine. When he was buying it the druggist remarked incidentally that he had some of the best hair restorer that ever gladdened the head of a baldheaded man. Thompkins is baldheaded, but he pretended he didn't hear. He bought a cigar and talked politics with two or three of the boys for a while and just before he left for home he said kind of carelesslike to the druggist: "Say, old man, got any stuff that's good for the hair—make it—er—sort of grow, you know?" all over his bald head. It was good and sticky and it hung right on. Mrs. Thompkins had a violent fit of coughing during the night and in feeling around the closet for her medicine got hold of the hair restorer. She took a big dose and then hollered: "Fire!" Thompkins awoke with a yell. There had been a little slit in the pillow case and he had rolled around with his sticky head until he had made a great bole in the case and had all the feathers worth mentioning flaring out from his cranium so that he looked like the banshee in an Irish folklore tale. He came rushing to Mrs. Thompkins assistance. She thought it was the evil one taking a half-holiday and "Oh, yes," said the druggist. "Well," said Thompkins. "guess I'll take a bottle. My brother-in-law is a regular dude and likes such things. The two bottles were about the same size, but that wasn't the drug-gist's fault. Thompkins opened them both when he got home. That night after he had undressed he happened to think that it might be a good thing to try a little of the hair restorer. In the dark he got hold of his wife's cough medicine and he plastered it Gives a Pretty "Self-Made Merchant" Tells Lead to Success—"Get Up Want to Go to Be Gives a Pretty Liberal Receipt.

The troubles of the rich received a forcible illustration in a recent conversation between Senator Clark of Montana, and one of his friends. The Senator said he had once received from an English syndicate an offer of $50,000,000 for his mining property. "Why didn't you take it?" asked his friend. "I want to live a little longer," was the ambiguous answer. "What do you men?" "Well," said the Senator, slowly, "it may seem strange to you, but if I had sold out for $80,000,000 I wouldn't be alive to-day. I firmly believe. Just think what it means to invest $50,000,000! All the work and worry suffered by all mankind since the death of Adam would not be equal to the work and worry involved in trying to invest that amount and invest it right. No, sir; I want to live, and I declined the job. I'm too old for work like that." -New York Times. Why Women's Teeth Decay.

Showing the New Flare Sleeve and Lace Cane Effects. THE MUSEUM OF THE ART OF THE WORLD Powder or No Powder Many persons aver that powder is rinous to the complexion. You will occasionally meet old ladies with skins of baby texture and fairness who will tell you that they have used powder all their lives. But their powder was the simplest preparation, just a little magnesia and zinc, perfumed with orris root. If the skin needs extra care a quarter of a lemon squeezed in a little milk will be found very beneficial. The face should be bathed in it morning and evening. If possible, the face should never be washed in water. Soap should only be used at night. It is a good plan, after washing the face with soap, to use the curd of lemon and milk, letting it dry on the skin. Not Too Many Buttons. Buttons provide charming ornamentation, if too many are not used, and some of the handsomest of the season's buttons can now be bought for a song. Smoked and white pearl are desirable sorts, especially if they are large and shanked as, in limited numbers, such kinds are put on all the new shirt waists. For a smart bodice in silk, lace or velvet, the gayly flowered pompadour buttons are most embellishing. But at the most only six should be used— Trig Walking Suit and Costumes.

Hint to Cooks For decorating soup a very pretty fancy is to use crisp lettuce leaves or celery stalks. These should be cut with a vegetable cutter. Then scatter in tiny circles over the soup, where they look like pale green and white confetti. BOUDOIR CHAT Medallions of lace in all sorts and sizes are much liked. Tucking is in favor.

The blue is of the light turquoise shade and the rim of the hat is made of it. Bluish pink roses form the low, flat crown and a small cluster of them nestles against the hair where the hat is lifted up at one side. The brim, which is broad, is faced on the inside with tiny folds of matine. The two tones are used here, the delicate pink being against the hair. How to Wash White Silk. White silk should be washed in tepid water with white soap. It should be rinsed at once in tepid borax water, then put through two clear waters. Finally it should be dipped in lukewarm water to which has been added a suspicion of liquid bluing. It should be shaken until almost dry—not wrung—and iron damp. For the Lassies Black satin ribbon is the kind for twing the young girl's hair, whatever he toilette. Even if a little girl's hair is tied in two places, top and bottom, the black ribbon is used.

Gray squirrel and other skins are plaited and the edge of the cape edged with chenille, but for a dress or cape to be really fashionable there must be something falling therefrom. This usually takes the form of gimp motifs. The Wee Maid's Sunbonnet Of all the pretty things in the wee girl's wardrobe nothing is prettier than the old fashioned sunbonnet. It is generally made of pink or blue dunity. A pretty one is made with two narrow, lace-edged ruffles around the edge and an inch of cording inside. There is a short lace-edged cape at the back of the neck, and the bonnet is tied at the back with broad bands of dunity, also lace-edged. Lucky Feminine Talismans Fashionable, but, nevertheless, superstitious women, are now affecting little "lucky boxes." These tiny talismans are made of ebony and fashioned in the shape of castlets made in Egypt, and there is a trick in the way that they are opened. The lucky box is supposed to protect its wearer from all possible disaster, and to bring success in society and happiness in love affairs.

To cure corns take white pine turpentine, spread a plaster, apply to the corn and allow it to stay on until the corn comes off itself. Repeat this several times. A good remedy for sleeplessness is to wet a towel and apply it to the back of the neck, pressing it up toward the base of the brain, and fastening over this a dry cloth to prevent too rapid evaporation. The effect will be found prompt and pleasant, cooling the brain and inducing a sweet, prompt and pleasant slumber. Warm water is better than cold for this purpose. This remedy will prove useful to people suffering from overwork, excitement or anxiety. --- HUMOR OF THE DAY Circumstances Alter Cases Maud—I was so delighted to have met you again yesterday after all these years, but—er—really, I felt rather hurt that you didn't introduce me to the gentleman who was with you.

They should be at the academy at eight o'clock. Although the crowd does not come until eight-thirty and nine o'clock, that is not their business. They are getting pay for their time and should be in their places to play whenever requested. But they come late, go across the street drink until drunk, and if I say anything to them, they tell their parents I am cross, cranky and crabit. I do not care anything about such remarks, but I desire to have the public know that my transactions are fair to all. I cannot afford to allow whisky and beer carried into the academy, and no lady or gentleman should expect to do such. i can point with pride to many young ladies and gentlemen who have married from our public dances, and are living together and doing well. All I ask and all I have ever asked of my patrons is that they use no vulgar or profane language in the academy, do no vulgar dancing or carry whisky or beer into the hall.

The editor had declared in emphatic terms that there must be a change for the better. "What the Thornton Daily Times needs above all one," he had insisted, "is feature stuff—local feature stuff. We are getting all the news, but there's lots of good feature material in this town that's going to waste." And every reporter on the paper had to exert himself to his utmost toward attaining the much desired end. Sanderson, one of the "specials," felt that he was at the end of his string, as he expressed it, and when the editor requested him to prepare a good column feature for next Saturday's paper the little reporter's jaw dropped despairingly. "What in the name of all that's green-eyed am I to do?" he groaned to himself. Sandy's desperate eye chanced to alight upon a big photograph leaning against a drawer of the sporting editor's desk—a photograph of the celebrared race horse "Billy Boy." Quick as a flash of lightning Sandy remembered something, and the recollection was as a lifepreserver to a drowning man. He remembered the story of "The Jockey Who Rode Whilst Asleep," to quote the headline that appeared over his article in the Times on the following day. The story had been told him several years before, and Sandy had never published it on account of a promise he had given—a promise to wait until the jockey in question (an intimate friend of the trainer) had retired from the turf before making the matter public property. Sandy sat up in his chair very suddenly. "Dick!" he called across the room to the sporting editor, "what's become of the jockey Tommy Paxley?" "Dead," said the sporting editor. "Died last season." His typewriter was ready for business in the twinkling of an eye. A good "special" at last! And without more ado he bent himself to his job, and was soon tapping out his afterward famous story of the jockey who, being worn out on account of sitting awake for two nights by the bedside of his sick mother, went to sleep while riding in a great turf event and did not wake up until the race was lost. The Times had never published before—and, I'm sure, has never published since—a better special article than that. The editor, true to his policy, had nothing to say by way of approval, but Sandy knew that he was pleased, nevertheless, and so were most of the staff. The next day the editor wished to see him. "Ah, Sanderson," began the editor, gazing sharply at the little reporter through his nose glasses, "where did you get that story of yours about the jockey who rode whilst asleep?" "Why, from the horse-trainer, Dan roulter," he answered. The editor, picking up his file of Times back numbers, next demanded: A "What in the name of all that's green-eyed am I to do?" he groaned. "And you wrote the story on the 2d day of March?" "I did," said Sandy. He was conscious that the eyes of two visitors were scrutinizing him closely. The editor had by this time come across the paper he wanted. "If you had an interview with Dan Poulin on March 2, there's no doubt, of course, that he was in town on March 2?" "Of course, there can be no doubt of it," he replied, without a blush. The editor turned to the two callers. "Is there anything that you would like to ask him, gentlemen?" he inquired. The man who held the paper, and Wao had been scanning the article in question, shook his head. "Ne," he said. "Thanks, Sanderson; that'll be about all." Sandy overheard the editor's query. "Are you satisfied, gentlemen?" and the answer of one of the men, "Yes, we're satisfied that we were on the wrong scent." II Sandy was sorely puzzled. Who were the two strangers? But Sandy did not have to wait long for enlightenment. Judge of his state of mind when, three days later, he read the following telegraph news item: "The mystery surrounding the murder of the gambler James Paxton is growing deeper. It is understood that a well-known horse-trainer was suspected of the crime. It will be remembered that the murder occurred early in the morning of March 2. It now transpires that the man who was believed to be the murderer was in another town, over four hundred miles away, on the day of the tragedy, and that it was impossible that he could have had anything to do with the killing of Paxton." Poor Sandy! "That's what comes of trifling with the truth," he groaned. "If Dan Poul- -Michael- "I am as innocent of that crime as you are." terd did kill that man I am his accompice in crime, for that mistake of mine is shielding him from justice." And to make matters worse he remembered that the horse-trainer was a man of fiery temper—a man who was always ready to fight if he believed himself imposed upon. For many days Sandy's mind was a whirlpool of troubled thought. "Would it do anybody any good to tell the truth about that feature story? Would it do anybody any harm? Yes, it was bound to do somebody harm, no matter what bearing it might have on the murder case. It would do Sandy harm. For Sandy would be dismissed." He sat gloomily at his desk. At last, with a quick, nervous movement, he pushed pens, ink, and paper away from him. "No use! No use!" he mattered, starting to his feet. "I can't write. It's all up with me. I'll go and tell the chief the whole wretched truth—make a clean breast of it. What's Dan Poulter to me? I'll just—" But at this point he sat down again very suddenly. For who should walk into the room at that moment but Dan Poulter himself! The horse-trainer, without a word, extended his hand. Sandy grasped it hostitably. Then Poulter drew up a chair, and sat down beside the reporter. "Sandy," he said, "you're the most magnificent diplomatist in the country, and I admire you immensely. You and your stupendous prevarications have done me an inestimable service. I am as innocent of that crime as you are. I never shot Paxton." As the horse-trailer uttered these words he became as solemn as a judge. "Now, listen, Sandy. I was in Burton on the morning of that murder. Nobody knew I was there but my partner, for I was ill in bed. When that sad business occurred I knew that I would be suspected. I laid low. Then my attention was called to that story of yours which was going the rounds of the newspapers—that story about the jockey who rode asleep, in which you stated—a trick of your trade, I suppose—that I was in this town on the 2d of March. Sandy," and the horse-trainer paused long enough to send another cloud of tobacco-smoke on a journey to the ceiling, "that story was my salvation. And just before I lett Plymouth I heard they'd got the man who did it. "Last week I won five thousand on Johnson's three-year-old Billy Boy. By George, Sandy, that horse is a wonder! Well, if it hadn't been for you I couldn't have won the money, for it's ten to one I'd have been in jail. Half that five thousand is yours by rights, Sandy, and there it is!" And he placed on Sandy's desk a bulky roll of crisp banknotes. Too Big For the French. When Benjamin Franklin went as our first minister to France, he thought it the thing to get him a "court dress." He went to the wig maker for a better style, but the little Frenchman hadn't a wig large enough for Franklin's big head, and, fearing that he would lose the sale, he flew into a passion about it. Franklin soothed him by saying, "Oh, it isn't your fault, nor the wig's; my head is too big." "Yes, yes," said the Frenchman; "I'm a fraid your head is too big for the whole French nation."

Before a West Australian police court recently the "sicion of an old English family" was charged with having insufficient means of support. He was remanded, and while he was in the lockup $500 was cabled him from the old country. When the case was next called accused explained wearily that the money was a first installment of several thousand dollars which had been left him by an uncle. He was discharged. Hereditary Instincts It is a fact well established by the student of heredity that children are apt to inherit not only the physical, mental and moral traits of their parents, but to be influenced by their age as well. According to the Family Doctor children born of very young fathers and mothers never attain so vigorous a growth of mind or body as those of older men and women, while children of old people are, if we may so term it, born old. The First Use of Needles. The first needle used in England was made in Queen Mary's reign by a negro, who unfortunately died before imparting the secret to anyone, says Home Notes. In the reign of Queen Elizabeth the art of needle-making was rediscovered by a German, who imparted it to an Englishman. Divorcees Spend Much Money.

POINTED PARACRAPHS. Forgery is all right in the iron business. It manages to get late very early nowadays. Fair weather friends are often enemies in disguise. True charity begins at home, but it doesn't end there. It is all well enough to judge a tailor by his clothes. The more you pelt a tanner the better he seems to like it. Speaking of clothes, a judge says that lawsuits become attorneys. Never confide a secret to a woman with a pedigree. Blood will tell. Ask a conceited man a question and he will never say, "I don't know." It is difficult to convert a man unless you practice what you preach. Convicted criminals are not allowed to hurry; they must take their time. It takes a brave man to face a thing after he has refused to countenance it. If a man always pays cash he is entitled to a lot more credit than he ever gets. The easier it is for a man to run into debt the harder it is for him to get ahead. When a wolf changes his coat he does not change his appetite for mutton chops. Many a man reserves the kind words his wife is entitled to for her tombstone. A woman who has false teeth likes to pretend that she has the toothache occasionally. A man who has the gout feels pretty good when he gets down to ordinary rheumatism. You have doubtless observed that the maid who is in love with herself has but few rivals. When you meet a worthless man it's doughnuts to fudge he can tell you a sure cure for corn. A mule imagines he has a musical voice—and a good many people seem to be built on the same mistaken plan. The average wife dislikes to ask her husband for money almost one-tenth as bad as he dislikes to have her do it. When some men give a dollar to charity they manage to get two dollars' worth of satisfaction from the contemplation of their generosity. No wonder men get discouraged when it takes years to establish a reputation for honesty and sobriety, while one can gain notoriety as a thief or a drunkard in a few hours.—Chicago News. SAYINGS OF THE WISE. The greatest prayer is patience.—Buddha. The art of life consists in being well deceived.—French Proverb. Young authors give their brain much exercise and little food.—Joubert. Truth is too simple for us; we do not like those who unmask our illusions.—Emerson. Oh, banish the tears of children! Continual rains upon the blossoms are hurtful.—Richter. The utmost that severity can do is to make men hypocrites; it can never make them converts. There is nothing more frightful than for a teacher to know only what his scholars are intended to know.—Goethe. If you have built castles in the air your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them.—Thoreau. INDISCRIMINATE ADVICE. Don't ask a man if he would die for you. Of course he would. Don't deride a girl wth freckles. Those are the best part of the show. Don't kiss a girl who has a little brother. His cars are not stuffed with cotton. Don't snuggle up to a man and suddenly lay your head on his breast. He may have a fit. Don't marry a girl who looks nice and uses slang. You may "get it in the neck" if you do. Don't tell a girl you love her if you don't. Remember there is such a thing as breach of promise. Don't speak to a man who accosts you by saying, "Ah, there!" He has probably ah-thered many times before. Don't be afraid to take your girl out in an automobile. An auto needs no driver. You may stop at the first stone wall, but never mind. --- Grand Showing of Neckwear We are today in a position to show an exquisite assortment of women's neckwear.

Balfour on Municipal Ownership. Bailour on Municipal Ownership. In speaking recently on the subject of municipal ownership, Prime Minister Balfour said: "Although I am not opposed to municipal enterprise, I confess I sometimes ask myself whether it is possible to view with absolute serenity the extension of the municipality as an employer in its own constituency." A. Self-Made Marquis A Self-Made Marquis. It is told of the Marquis to that when a youth he wandered about the streets of London, penitless, ragged and hungry, a starving alien in a strange land. No employment was too lowly for that one whose eager and ambitious mind was in after years to point out to the civilized world a new sun of astonishing brightness arisen in the East. Worth Remembering. One of the best things Josh Billings ever wrote was in an album kept by a dego usher, Oswald Smith, in the office of the general passenger agent of the Erie railroad. He dashed off hastily: "It is better not to know so much than to know so much that ain't so." Artificial Flavor for Eggs. The flavor of eggs may be influenced by the food eaten by laying hens. The North Carolina experiment stations, by feeding a quantity of chopped wild onion tops and bulbs to hens, obtained eggs so pronounced in flavor that they could not be eaten and this continued while the onion ration was fed.

Telephone 1052 Re Dicing Son and Procn It was dinner time when Jumbo Sam rode up to the Hat Six ranch. Hospitality is the first law of the cattle country, and Jumbo Sam, who had eaten breakfast seven hours before, was in no mood to transgress it. His saillde creaked as it was relieved of his 200 pounds, and the jaded cow pony shook himself with satisfaction. "Dinner is now ready in the drink' car," sang out the cook. "Come an' gift it while it's hot." In response to the welcome call the crowd of cow punchers filed into the dining room. "Come on, Jumbo," said Rufe Thompson, foreman of the Hat Six. "Better hit the grub trail right now, if you don't want the cook to work over time. Them cow hands is liable to clean off that table as quick as a beaver worker' in a patch o' fresh with lows. They ain't got no more manners than one o' yer bears when it sets down to an antelope carcass." Jumbo Sam was a bear hunter by occupation, and the simile was not lost on him. He made a hasty pretense of scrubbing his bearded face in the water trough at the side of the kitchen, and followed Thompson into the dining room. "Set yere, Jumbo, right across from Pog Simmons. You know Peg. At least if you don't you'd orter." Other than an involuntary start, Jumbo Sam gave no sign that he recognized Simmons. He took the seat, however, and bent his head so low over his plate that Jack Fulmer, his nearest table companion, said afterward that he thought the hunter was about to ask a blessing. This expectation was not realized, for Jumbo Sam, with head still lowered, swept the table with sidelong glances and helped himself liberally to be steak, biscuits and potatoes as the food was passed to him. As he had a reputation for conversation of that personal variety known as bragadocio, his silence was noticeable. His close attention to the business in hand, however, seemed to remove any mysterious cause for this lack of quantity. Not once did he refuse to help himself to the contents of the meat platter or pan of biscuits. Had it not been for his popular manner during the meal his reticence might have been passed by without comment. Not once did he raise his eyes to Pog Simmons. The strange twist of his thick neck suggested rheumatism, spinal trouble, orache almost any ill, in fact, which could be contracted by a man who sometimes tracked a grizzly in fresh snow for two or three days with stopping until he found his game. Peg Simmons on the other hand seldom looked at his plate. His small blue eyes rested almost constantly on the bowed head across the table. He Kris yawp about Nell, he says. was a little man—hardly five feet sight, and his slight frame contrasted sharply with Jumbo Sam's bulky figure. Moreover, he was a cripple. One day while trying to head a refractory stair in gopher ground his pony had stepped in a prairie dog hole and thrown him. Simmons' left leg was broken so badly that it had to be amputated. The surgeon did the job in such bungling fashion that the operation had to be repeated. When Simmons recovered he came to the Hat Six ranch, where he formerly had been employed. The proprietor gave him money to buy a wooden leg, and So It Must Be. Yet white leading a strained life, white overfeeding. Like the rest, his wit was reading—No small profit that man earns. Who, through all he meets can steer him, Can reject what cannot clear him, Cling to what can truly cheer him; Who, each day, most surely learns That an impulse from the distance of his deepest host exist. To the words "The Right, Persistence," Strongly sets and truly burns. — Matthew Arnold. Chivalry in a few weeks Simmons had won the nickname of "Peg," and the reputation of being one of the best cow punchers in the Big Horn basin in spite of his misfortune. No man in the outfit was his superior in roping a steer, nor—according to common report—in handling a sixshooter. Jumbo Sam was one of the first to leave the table.

"Not known' I kain't say." replied Peg, with a mysterious twinkle in his blue eyes, and he went out to the corral. "I can tell you about it, Rufe," said Jack Fulmer. "You know when Peg was hurt? Yes? Well, they took him down to Rock Creek and the doc what worked on him must have been a green hand from a Tongue River sawmill, fer he had to do the job over.

New York Minister Says the Vice Is Becoming Universal. The Rev. Dr. L. A. Banks, rector of Grace Methodist Episcopal church, at One Hundred and Fourth street, near Columbus avenue, told members of the New York conference in Poughkeepsie Sunday that drunkenness is alarmingly on the increase among the better class of women of our larger cities. "Some of these facts I will give more startling facts," he said yesterday. "If the habit of drinking among women of the better and middle classes continues to increase I mean to make public names. I will say that every minister in New York knows women—good women—who drink. I have heard what the society women do in Newport and Washington, but I know what they do in New York in the way of drinking. "Drinking among women has come to be a matter of indifference nowadays. It is prevalent among our more respectable classes. It has progressed so far that we read every day of our rich women recuperating at sanitariums. Their poorer sisters must have recourse to alcoholic wards in public hospitals. These records show it. Cocktails, of whisky, are lowering the respectable level of the women of the middle class. They take the place of the champagne and hot wines among the rich. "Twenty years ago nothing passed the lips but light wines and ales, and then seldom except at christenings or foasts. Now the women can be seen any day in the week, and Sunday, after and before church, at their hotel and restaurant meals drinking cocktails, glass for glass, with their men companions. They show indifference to opinion, lack of modesty and of conscience. "They want to be up to date and think that is one way. Therefore we have none of the good old-time temperature."—New York World. NOT DESERVING OF SYMPATHY. Bereaved Man's Frightful Pun Alienated the Neighbors. Now, when the daughter of the house ran away with a strolling musician, the neighbors were full of tender sympathy with the family. They called in a body to express this fact. All would have gone well if the old man had not cherished the idea that he was a natural born wit and that the flashes of his genius in that line could illuminate the darkest abyss of gloom that ever was heard of. "Yes," he said, "I am deeply touched by this evidence of feeling on the part of you, my neighbors. Not that I objected to my daughter getting married. I expected her to do that some day. But I think all of you will bear witness that I have ever cautioned her not to piccolo man." At this the neighbors retired to the roadway and stoned the house, then sent a joint message of congratulation to the runaway daughter. —Chicago Tribune.

The effect of salicylic acid as a food preservative has been exhaustively studied by Drs. MacAllister and Bradshaw of Liverpool. Their conclusions are positive that salicylic acid, in the ways in which it is used in the preparation of food products, is not only not harmful but is a preservation to health, inasmuch as the process of decomposition which it prevents would be far more dangerous. They show by their experiments that digestion is scarcely perceptibly hindered by saturated solutions of salicylic acid, and that the effects of small quantities on the living subjects are practically negligible.

LANDMARKS OF NEW YORK MAKE WAY FOR COMMERCE Old Buildings, the Center of Historic Traditions, Repidly Being Demolished—First City Hall, Erected by the Dutch Inhabitants in 1642. Was a Primitive Structure. (Special Correspondence.) The demolition of the old Hall of Records in New York, used in the days of the Revolution as one of the British prisons, following so soon after the removal of other historical buildings, has excited a great deal of interest among descendants of early citizens, but not enough to secure their preservation in any form. Many have wondered why some parts of the line of Greenwich street. Lo the Revolution Kennedy such the estate of the Earl of when he returned to Engls transferring his New York to a son. It was subsequent Nathaniel Prime, and at the Declaration of Independence occupied by Gen. Washington headquarters. During the c Present C THE COURT HOUSE Present City Hall. old buildings could not have been utilized by the construction of the new buildings, if only that they might have been preserved as relics. The first City Hall of New York was the "Stadt Huyss," erected by the Dutch inhabitants in 1642, at the head of Coonties Slip, the waters of which extended as far as what is now Pearl street. It was a very primitive structure, but sufficed for the needs of the city until 1700, when a new City Hall was built at the head of Broad street, fronting on Wall street. The year before the Common Council had voted €3,000 (about $15,000) in addition to about $4,500 received from John Rodman, a merchant, for the old Stadt Huyss, for the new hall, and it occupied the site of one of the stout basements which were erected when the defensive wall, or wooden palisade (which gave Wall street its present name), was built across the island. The stone of this bastion was used in constructing the new building. The front of the building was embellished with the arms of the King and those of the Earl of Bellomont. These ornaments were defaced and destroyed immediately after the close of the Revolution by vote of the Common Council; and when the Declaration of Independence was read to the people in 1776 from the steps of the City Hall the painted cont of arms that hung on the wall of the main room was brought out and thrown into the bonfire made by the citizens to celebrate the event During the Revolution the City Hall 1 THE HOME OF THE MAYOR New York's First City Hall. was occupied by the British troops, and they were accused of ruthlessly plundering the library and using many valuable books in making cartridges. The City Hall then passed into the hands of Congress, and after extensive changes became known as the Federal Building. It was in the gallery of the Senate Chamber that Washington took the oath of office as President on April 30, 1789. The site is now marked by the Washington statue, which stands in front of the Sub-Treasury building. Adjoining this is the magnificent marble stock exchange building just erected, the most palatial structure in the world dedicated to finance. Over $2,000,000 was spent on its construction. Another building connected with the career of Washington stood on the site now occupied by what was known as the Field building when it was erected by Cyrus W. Field, and now the Washington building at Broadway and Battery place. It was a mansion owned by a British officer known as "Honorable Captain" Kennedy. The garden of this mansion extended to the bank of the North River, then on the line of Greenwich street. Long before the Revolution Kennedy succeeded to the estate of the Earl of Cassilla, when he returned to England, after transferring his New York property to a son. It was subsequently sold to Nathaniel Prime, and at the time of the Declaration of Independence was occupied by Gen. Washington as his headquarters.

After the war the Kennedy mansion was occupied by Mr. Sears, known as "King Sears," and his daughters were mentioned as "princesses." Later it became a girls' boarding school, and then a fashionable boarding house, in which Talleyrand, the French statesman, stopped at one time. It was here that Talleyrand, standing in front of a hot fire, had a pair of buckskin breeches destroyed by the intense heat and had his flesh scorched. Until its demolition a few years ago the Kennedy mansion was occupied as a hotel, and it formed a prominent landmark in that part of the city.

"Of course, it is," smiled the farmer. "You've had my money all the time, but it seems that I have not been getting all the interest to which I am entitled. I am glad you sent for me."

We tried all kinds of remedies and soft foods. At last, when patience was about exhausted and the child's condition had grown so bad the whole family was aroused, we tried Grape-Nuts. "A friend recommended the food as one which her own delicate children had grown strong upon so I purchased a box—as a last resort. In a very short time a marked change in both health and disposition was seen. What made our case easy was that she liked it at once and its crisp, nutty flavor has made it an immediate favorite with the most fastidious in our family.

Brazilis, Ark., May 11th.—To be snatched from the very brink of the grave is a somewhat thrilling experience and one which Mrs. M. O. Garrett of this place has just passed through. Mrs. Garrett suffered with a Cerebro-Spinal affection, and had been treated by the best physicians, but without the slightest improvement. For the last twelve months two doctors were in constant attendance, but she could only grow worse and worse, till she could not walk, and did not have any power to move at all. She was so low that for the greater part of the time she was perfectly unconscious of what was going on about her, and her heart-broken husband and friends were hourly expecting her death. The doctors had given up all hope and no one thought she could possibly live. In this extremity Mr. Garrett sent for a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills. It was a last hope, but happily it did not fail. Mrs. Garrett used in all six boxes of the remedy, and is completely cured. She says: "I am doing my own work now and feel as well as ever I did. Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly saved me from death."

Gertrude Castle Dashes on Back of Pet Steer—Noble Brute Rises Herocally to His Task. --- --- Gertrude Castle, a venturesome Texas girl, will hereafter have a story to tell that will not fall to arouse breathless interest. That she survives to tell it excites the wonder of those who witnessed her peril. The young woman lives with her parents on a ranch near the new line of railroad that has just been constructed between Brownwood and Brady. A few days ago a young man, who was working for Mr. Castle, was thrown from a wild mustang and so badly hurt that it was deemed necessary to summon a physician as hurriedly as possible. Mr. Castle was confined to his bed with fever, and there was no one about the premises to attend to the urgent matter but his daughter. When Miss Gertrude came to look around for a horse she was chagrined to discover that the animals were all loose in a pasture a long distance from the house. In this emergency her eyes happened to fall upon a pet steer that was standing in one of the corrals. This peculiar animal is as gentle as a lamb and usually as easily managed under the saddle as a trained mustang. He was raised a pet and, being finely formed, pretty and remarkably docile, he is a great favorite with everybody on the ranch. Children play with him as they would with a harmless, friendly dog, and boys and girls have ridden him without fear since he was a yearling. Milk white, swift, and of proud bearing, he makes his part of an interesting picture as he gallops along the road with a pretty girl on his back. The fearless Texas girl did not glance a second time at Comanche. Calling the pet steer she ran to the barn to procure a halter and saddle. A few moments afterwards she was galloping along the road towards Brownwood. "People will laugh at me," she whispered to herself, "but Comanche can travel like a racehorse and he is as pretty as a picture." For the first four miles nothing occurred to mar the pleasure of the ride, for the healthy girl enjoyed the excitement and the puzzled look on the faces of the people she met and passed. Then she heard a rumbling noise behind her, and upon turning her head she saw a locomotive and a train of cars coming towards her at a high rate of speed. The wagon road that Comanche was following ran parallel with the railroad track and close to it. The girl cast her eyes towards Brownwood, and it looked as if the two roads ran side by side, clear into the town. To all appearances it was a level plain and perfectly straight tracks. "Now for a race!" she exclaimed, as she gave the steer a smart cut with her riding whip. The shrick of the locomotive sounded like a challenge, and with blood warmed to exhilaration by the exciting situation she turned her head and beckoned to the engineer to come on. The locomotive was soon by her side and the passengers were cheering with wild enthusiasm. "They want me to beat!" she exclaimed, "and they will have my name in the papers." A sharp whistle from the locomotive attracted her attention, and when she looked she noticed that she was forging ahead, actually beating an express. Comanche is really a racer was the thought uppermost in hear mind, suddenly replaced by a chill of horror. In front of her and not many steps away she saw something that nearly concealed her blood. The road made a sudden turn directly across the railroad track. A glance convinced her that it was too late to check the speed of the steer, and she knew that it would be impossible to turn him or force him to leave the road and go GERDIDE CASTLE straight forward. She felt confident that Comanche would stick to the road, and in that emergency her only hope of escaping being mangled under the wheels lay in her ability to force the flying beast across the track ahead of the engine. But a second was left to the girl to decide whether to try to guide the steer or give him the lash. The locomotive was behind, and the turn in the road was under the steer's nose. The girl felt that he would stick to the trail in spite of her puny arms and she struck him with all her strength, shouting, "Go, go, Comanche!" As he sprung over the first rail she was about to shriek "Saved!" But, horror of horrors! The excited beast caught a glimpse of the locomotive, and snorting with terror, he turned his head from it and bounded away along the track with the engine at his heels. She heard the furious whistling of the engine and she wondered if its speed had slackened. She did not dare to turn her head. Horrors and misfortunes appear to hunt in droves. There were new dangers before and behind the imperiled girl. The fates were enjoying a spite to repletion. The air brakes refused to perform their office, and as if that were not enough, a cattle guard connecting a line of wire fence suddenly appeared under the steer's nose. "When I saw that awful obstacle," says the young girl, "I closed my eyes, abandoning all hope." With a power- Death Close Behind. ful leap worthy of an antelope the noble animal cleared the guard at a bound. The awful noise and the continued whistling of the locomotive was still close behind her, but surely not so near. She dared to turn her head and a shout of joy burst from her lips. She was certainly widening the distance between Comanche's heels and that hideous cowcatcher. Slapping the noble animal with the palm of her hand, she screamed: "Oh, Comanche, save me!" He had already done that. A wild burrah that from the earth tremble burst from the throats of the great crowd that had gathered at the depot as the white steer, covered with foam, shot by the platform into the street, where he fell to his knees utterly exhausted. The engine was none too far away. The pretty girl was well known in the town, and a multitude of friends quickly assembled about her, eagerly asking for information. They had seen the wild race, but they could not make out what it meant. To some persons it looked as if the engineer was trying to run over the steer. They had been unable to make out the object on the animal's back until he was near the depot. The badly frightened engineer was quick to make an explanation. When Comanche regained his feet he put his nose against his mistress to be petted. The crowd cheered the faithful animal and everybody gave him a friendly pat and words of praise. "Come, my brave Comanche," said the happy girl, "you shall have clover and sugar plums all your life." LIGHT ON HUMAN NATURE Why Boys Do Not Always Turn Out as Represented. Boys are a good deal like the pups that fellows sell on street corners—they don't always turn out as represented. You buy a likely setter pup and raise a spotted coach dog from it, and the promising son of an honest butcher is just as like as not to turn out a poet or a professor. I want to say in passing that I have no real prejudice against poets, but I believe that, if you're going to be a Milton, there's nothing like being a mute, inglorious one, as some fellow who was a little sore on the poetry business once put it. Of course, a packer who understands something about the versatility of cottonseed oil need never turn down orders for lard because the run of hogs is light, and a father who understands human nature can turn out an imitation parson from a bey whom the Lord intended to go on the board of trade. But on general principles it's best to give your cottonseed oil a Latin name and to market it on its merits, and to let your boy follow his bent, even if it leads him into the wheat pit—From "Letters From a Self-made Merchant to His Son" by George Horace Lorimer.

Proposals are before the Department of Agriculture for seriously regulating and systematizing the consumption of timber in the United States. Statements by Prof. Femow, director of the State College of Forestry of Cornell University, predict that according to present statistics the forests of the world must be entirely consumed within the next thirty years. Old Western Life Has Gone Frederie Remington, the artist, has been spending some time in the southwest recuperating his health and gathering material for new work. He regrets to observe that the "typical westerner," as he knew the type twenty years ago, is now hardly observable, the cowboy being particularly extinct. In fact, the old life is almost done away with. Emigration From Ireland. In 1902 no fewer than 40,401 persons emigrated from Ireland, all of whom except 211 were natives. Since 1851 nearly 4,000,000 have left their Irish homes for the colonies or United States. DOCTOR ENSOR SUPT.

F. Ensor. Hon. C. W. Butts, ex-Member of Congress from North Dakota, in a letter from Washington, D. C., says: "That Peruna is not only a vigorous, as well as an effective tonic, but also a cure of catarrh is beyond controversy. It is already established by its use by the thousands who have been benefited by it. I cannot too highly express my appreciation of its excellence."—C. W. Butts. Dr. R. Robbins, Muskogee, I. T., writes "Peruna is the best medicine I know of for coughs and to strengthen a weak stomach and to give appetite. Beside prescribing it for catarrh, I have ordered it for weak and debilitated people, and have not had a patient but said it helped him. It is an excellent medicine and it fits so many cases. "I have a large practice and have a chance to prescribe your Peruna. I hope you may live long to do good to the sick and suffering." Only the weak need a tonic. People are never weak except from some good cause. One of the obscure causes of weakness and the one often overlooked is catarrh. Catarrh inflates the mucous membrane and causes the blood plasma to escape through the mucous membrane in the form of mucous. This discharge of mucous is the same as the loss of blood. It produces weakness.

Peruna does not give strength by stimulating the nervous system a little. It gives strength by preserving the mucous membranes against leakage. It gives strength by converting the blood fluids and preventing their draining away in mucous discharges.

Success is the realization of the es timate whic you place upon yourself, —Elbert Hubbard. Don't believe the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first—Burdette, The success of the greater part of things depends upon knowing how long it takes to succeed.—Montis- quiere, Success does not consist in never making blunders, but in never mak: ing the same one a second time.—H. W. Shaw, Success never yet came to the man who habitually used the motto of the makeshift, "That will do."—The Brown Book, A snecessful man—He leaves clean work behind him, and requires no sweeper up of chips.—Klizabeth Bar- rett Browning, Successful men are like a watch; they have open faces enough, but don't show their works in their faces, <H. W. Shaw. It is said fortune knocks once at every man’s door, In most cases it must have knocked when the man was out.—Page. Making love, advertising and suc: cess in life is like the principle of flys fishing—persevere and change your fly. Weir Mitchell, Men may have merit witout rising to eminence, but no one has ever reached eminence without some de- gree of merit—La Rochefoucauld, Success, like a trolley car, is liable to strike us unexpectedly, When it does we want no fender, and guaran: tee there'll be no suit against the company.—Ida Young Clift. Sir Thomas Lipton’s receipt for sue: cess: “Work hard, deal honestly, be enterprising, exercise careful judg: ment, advertise freely, but judiciously, never despair, keep pushing on.” Opportunity has all her bair on her forehead; but when she has passed you cannot eall her back, She has not tuft whereby you can lay hold on her, for she is bald on the back part of her head and never returns.— Rabelats, Believe me, the talent of success Is nothing more than doing what you can do well, and doing well whatever you do—without a thought of fame If it comes at all, it will come be cause it is deserved, not because it I sought after.—Hyperion, —The Brown Rook. GLEANED FROM CONFERENCES. Tact is wisdom in contact. Mechanical repetition is the bane of primary work. Nothing 1s good enough to do at the wrong time. ‘Tact is learned by stumping our toes against fact. The child is more important than what you teach him A lesson may be logical at the cost of being psychological There is no virtue in the world which cannot be cultivated Unless you love and are loveable, you can do nothing with other people, What the child now knows becomes the background of what be is to know. If you cannot held a child through his interest, you cannot hold him any other way Appeal to what the child already Knows, because there is nothing else to appeal to. The primary teacher must have love for her work, light on her work, and Liberty in her work. Anything that is attached may be detached. That is why a moral should never be “tacked on” to @ lesson.
