Sharing with Customers WESTON'S Coast to Coast TRAMP IN THE PUBLIC EYE OWARD PAYSON WESTON, aged 72 years, is the youngest old man in the world. Not satisfied with a mere statement of this fact, Weston has proven it by walking from New York to San Francisco, a distance of 4,600 miles, in 100 days, Sundays excluded. His arrival in 'Frisco just the other day is proof enough that there is only one Weston. It was one of the greatest walks ever undertaken by any pedestrian. With the chilly March winds making walking a difficulty along Broadway, New York, Weston on the fifteenth of the month started his long, tedious, coast-to coast leap and the biggest pleasure of his A AIR OFFICIAL ESCORT land. Me, to Chicago a year ago, he accom- manded him to play a day. Then, however, he walked almost to the THE FARM AND THE FARMER more thoroughly I am convinced that it is more in the man than in the farm or location.

It is the man more than the location. --- --- DWARD PAYSON WEST is the youngest old man satisfied with a mere fact. Weston has provin from New York to Sancant from 4,600 miles, in excluded. His arrival in 'Frisco is proof enough that Weston. It was one of ever undertaken by any With the chilly Mara walking a difficulty alo' York, Weston on the month started his long coast lope and the bigg life came when the cool afternoon breeze, as if in greeting, seemed to rise out of Golden Gate, San Francisco and make the home stretch to the 'Frisco city hall the most pleasant. Greeted by the mayor of San Francisco with even more hospitality than he had experienced along the route, if such a condition were possible, this interesting old man was indeed at the height of his glory. Think of it—you who brag about a ten-mile feat of pedestrianism—this 72-year-old New Englander during his years of walking, has traversed more than 25,000 miles, which is the distance around the world, land and water included. Achievement was accomplished at a rate of 46 miles each day, a hard proposition in consideration the fact that Weston returned the public's little courtesies by addressing his admirers along the route. Always carrying a regulation breakfast food smile this quaint old character, who, by the way, can address an audience as well as he can walk long distances, never lost sight of the optimistic side of his venture. Happy, hale, hearty and a picture of color, he laughed gaily at mention of the vlcissitudes which he was compelled to undergo in making good in his determination to span the continent afoot. Facing the sun-baked western deserts, he wore the same typical Yankee smile. Only once did the relentless heat of the sands cause him to falter. That was, when in crossing the Great Salt Lake desert on the twenty-second of June he was forced to stop and rest almost two hours at Lemay, Utah. He rested almost against his will, but he realized that the little snatch of sleep at Lemay was for the best. Leaving Hogup, Utah, at 6:30 that morning, he started his desert tramp. That night he was at Lucin, 41 miles away. At four o'clock the next morning he saw dawn break over the town of Lucin, and he was several miles to the west, walking with the same steady stride which marked his progress along better roads in the east. He suffered a slight injury from a fall in the west, and this hurt augmented by the effects of the heat, promised to make his daily walks shorter. Sheer persistence kept him at his task, and his will power overcame his aliments. Consequently, when he crossed the west state line of Utah, he was in splendid physical condition. All was not milk and honey for the pedestrian. At Laramie, Wyoming, his manager forced him to stay indoors for an entire half day in order to conserve his energy. Perhaps the states east of Illinois which greeted Weston a year ago when he made his memorable trip from Portland, Me., to Chicago, were not quite as enthusiastic over the aged pedestrian as they were in 1908, but if such a person were Weston failed to see the lack of hospitality. One of the speediest "laps" which the walker accomplished before entering California, was that from Ogden to Hogup, Utah. Leaving Ogden one hour after midnight he reached the smaller city late in the afternoon of the same day. It was a tramp of 61 miles, and he Some Pertinent Remarks by Man Who Has Had Opportunity and Made Observations.

To every one along his route of travel, who saw him appear on the horizon to the east and then vanish again toward the setting sun, he was the same cheery, hale, happy, happy gentleman. His feet might be clogged with mud, if the weather happened to be inclement, his clothes rain, or de-sheathed. It no longer meets with the Weston smile, however. It shone no matter what the conditions. Smiling upon everyone in general, bowing to the matrons, throwing kisses to the misses, his whole being reflected the power of the good nature which his manager declared assisted him in his difficult task. Treading the slope of the Rockies several days behind time, he only saw the silver lining in the clouds that threatened to blast his hopes of reaching the Pacific coast at 4 p. m., on the 8th of July. On his journey's end the whole city of San Francisco its last hour of the business day in the hope of making the pedestrian's welcome a warm one. Just as other western cities had turned out to wave a big, cheerful and good-to Weston, big, rejuvenated 'Frisco was proportionately hospitable to this remarkable character. With the eastern slope of the Rockies traversed there were some who questioned the possibility of the pedestrian's safe arrival at the Golden Gate on the day set for his welcome. "I am still a young old man," he said laughingly, "and I have shown the pedestrian youngsters of 55 and 60 years that my heyday is not on the wane. "There have been plenty of obstacles to overcome, but with a path to tread and a will behind me, nothing is insurmountable." Fully swimming through a sea of mud was one of the everyday happenings with the walker. "I speed to walk from ocean to ocean, but I had no idea I would be compelled to swim part of the way," he said. "But that is just what I had to do in Colorado. My walk into Denver was over roads which were terrible, carried tons of mud on my feet, it seemed to me it was a supreme effort to lift the dirt itself with taking a step which carried my own body besides." It took Pedestrian Weston just 73 days to Ever know a man to scrub his hogs unless he was intending to take them to a state fair? Well, I have. I have a friend in central Ohio who keeps his hogs as clean as his Jersey cows. He declares if two lots of hogs are treated alike in every respect, except that one lot receives a thorough scrubbing with soap suds once in aweh, there will be a marked difference in favor of the hogs that are washed when the time for slaughtering comes. A clean bed of straw, with a dry house, so as to at THE ing common pee-pul. It was one of the pleasant "obstacles" to which he called attention when accounting for the delay. Many courses of various character were extended to him and it was necessary to acknowledge them. In so doing, a little speech and perhaps a stopover for some local festivity necessitated lots of fast walking when the trail was again taken up. Cow paths, big paved city streets, country road patches, rights of way belonging to railroads, and other new trails through the woods furnished the line of travel for the great journey of this aired athlete. Intense enthusiasm was manifested all through the west, and true hospitality of the plains was accorded him after he departed from Chicago. Only a year previous, he had passed along the same New York-Chicago route, and he seemed an old friend to the countrymen. Consequently, like every old friend, his feat did not cause nearly so much consternation there as in the west. "Mercy, how do you take care of your corn, walking as much as you do?" a white-haired grandma in Indiana asked Weston, as he quenched his thirst at her well. "O, they're just ordinary feet. I have a few corn, but cold water is the best medicine they know. It keeps them in great trim." Weston out did outzes of pairs of shoes during the journey. He had to have an especially pliable shoe, one which neither pinched his feet nor was too loose, and one of the difficulties of the trip was procuring just the correct footwear. It was 40 years ago and more that Weston startled the country by one of his especially long walks. When passing through Illinois on his last venture, he encountered an aged farmer who was sunning himself in front of his farm home. Hard work had told on the Illinoisan's physique. He looked little like the young man who had stopped his plowing one spring morning, and then 30-year-old Weston a meal at the farm --- reach Denver from New York, leaving him 27 days for the trip from the Colorado metropolis to the Golden Gate. Even when Weston had so nearly 'completed his journey as to safely traverse the Great Salt Lake desert there were some people in the great cities who were skeptical of the walker's ability to reach his destination. "Can't reach 'Frisco, eh?' queried Weston with an arching of the eyebrows which seemed to echo itself all over his unkinked visage. "Why, I'll reach the Weston with time to spare." And the square Weston jaw seemed to augur well for the success of his resolve. In every big city through which the New Englandander passed en route to the Pacific ocean, police protection from the over-enthusiastic public was necessary, and he declared that of all the friends he made by tiny minions were heartiest in their wishes for his ultimate success than the thousands and thousands who were interested in his long tramp. HEAR THE END OF THIS JOURNEY His loss of time which amounted to five days as he started to ascend the western slope of the mountainous areas casioned chiefly by his desire to please the admirer. STOP FOR LIQUID REFRESHMENT ford them comfort at night, will also promote thrift and growth. There may be something in that argument. Certainly a hog cannot be too clean if he tried. I do know that naturally a hog is a clean sort of animal and he enjoys a bath as much as a man does. If the hog is considered a filthy animal that devours filthy food it is because of the treatment given. Hogs will select clean and wholesome food always if given the opportunity to do so. The time is not far distant when house. It was 40 years later, yet Weston recalled the meal, and the old man's eyes sparkled as if in memory of the good things the young wife had put before him. Weston inquired after the man's wife and was told that she had been dead 20 years. Tears came into the eyes of the aged Illinois farmer. Then the pair, like two old cronies, set out down the road together, Weston on abandoning his long, sweeping stride MAKING A SPEECH for shorter, slower steps, more in keeping with the physical condition of his friend of four decades ago. Their good-bye, the cross- roads, a quarter of a mile from the farmer's abode was touching, and the first and last time during the entire trip, tears appeared in the pedestrian's eyes. It was the recollection of the old days when West toyos was a young- ster, and was befriendly by the big-hearted inhabitants of the country through which he had journeyed. Weston and Dan O'Leary were youngsters as well as pioneers in the business of pedestrianism years ago. Then the O'Leary "walk" was a distinct rival of the Weston "walk." Their feats on the thoroughfares of the country attracted far more attention than they do in these busy days, and people were getting easy in the morning to tear off a journey of from 15 to 20 miles before breakfast, using the stride of their favorite walker. The O'Leary stride then, consisted of executing motions with the hips, shoulders, as well as limbs, along with a good deal of arm swinging, while the New Englander's style consisted of a straight, swinging step, with the head, shoulders and hips moving in harmony with the lower limbs. "What do it? What good does it do him?" the practical matter-of-fact twentieth century man will ask. In answer, Weston's friends declare that in the first place every man has some hobby or other. Weston's hobby is long distance walking. In the second place it may turn itself into a financial venture some day. Weston is a good orator, and on his tours is always in demand as a lecturer. But at the same time he jested that he is comparatively a poor man. On his walk in 1908 from Portland to Chicago, he entered the Windy City with the expectation of lecturing. He did a little speaking, but not to any great extent. To show his absolute integrity is an offer which was made to him, and rejected by him almost immediately, of a firm manufacturing a shoe device. He could have signed his signature to the company's testimonial into several thousand dollars on the spot, had he chosen to sign a paper, stating that he had worn the shoe contrivance on his journey and found it satisfactory. He had not worn it, and refused the offer without a second's hesitation. For him he idiotism is one great round of pleasure. He had waw and the agreement he made to traverse the comment in 100 days simply furnished more than three months of enjoyment. That was Weston's idea. The agreement was in a sense, a secondary matter. His vigor, vitality and recuperative powers are declared wonderful by physicians who have studied him. He is probably the greatest athlete of the age, everything considered. By post roads the distance from New York to Francisco is 4,300 miles, but according to the book Weston is 4,600 miles, his manager the distance is 4,600 miles, which being accomplished in 100 days, excluding Sundays, necessitates a tramp averaging 48 miles each day. Considering the many setbacks which are bound to occur on such a journey as this the progress which Weston made was considered remarkable. It was declared that the automobile which was following Weston deserted him in the west because that particular make of car failed to the amount of publicity desired. This was given to the man for the old man, because the machine carried provisions, refreshments and other necessities. people will place a higher estimate upon the value of skim milk as a human food. Many of our scientific men have devoted much study and attention to this phase of the dairy business until they have solved the problem of preserving this liquid food in a solid form, and already there are a number of powdered milk plants in operation and the demand for the product is rapidly increasing.—Exchange.

Flagler, the Standard Oil magnate, who is popularly supposed to carry the state of Florida around in his pockets, has been compelled to abandon one of his dearest ambitions and announce a bond issue for the railroad he is building from the mainland across the coral beds to Key West. Up to date the engineering world has seen nothing more unique in its way than this railroad of 600 miles. Flagler has been constructing it much as a man would build a stable, his manager in charge of the work being unlimited as to expense and only bound to make the road a good one. It has been Flagler's pet idea that when he is in charge it should be without a penny of indebtedness or money. No notes nor bonds nor other evidences of obligation were to be in its records. It was to A. H. Flagler fortune, which had built three than $5,000,000, was equal to meeting road—even such a railroad as this.

GERMAN RAILWAY MINISTER GERMAN RAILWAY MINISTER Herr von Breitenbach, as minister of public works and railways in the Prussian government, is at the head of the public-owned railroad system. Germany has owned her railroads for a number of years and they are managed by an especially capable and conservative body of officials. A. H. Reports just received from the experts who have been studying the situation there declare, however, that the plan is not a success. In respect both to the service received and the financial results public ownership in Germany is declared to be a long way from satisfactory. At the present moment Herr Von Breitenbach has in contemplation several changes of importance in the methods of his departments which look toward finally making the Prussian railroad busi- ness profitable to the government or satisfactory to the public, if either or both cases can be brought about. In a warning against the great summer pest and menace—mosquitos—the department of health of Philadelphia says: "Mosquitos, as a rule, deposit their eggs in stagnant water, which hatch out with great rapidity in the form of small animals called 'wrigglers,' named from the manner in which they propel themselves through the water, which, in a few days become full-fledged mosquitos. A sufficient number of mosquitos to annoy an entire neighborhood can be developed from a very small quantity of water. A neglected tomato can contain water is sufficient for this purpose; therefore, watch, remove, or tightly cover with cheesecloth all barrels, boxes, tin cans, choked roof --- gutters, sewer traps or any receptacle where water can lie for a period of five days. Teacher for Sixty-Five Years With the record of having never missed even a half day in 57 years' service in teaching school in Boston, Charles James Capen, 86 years old, senior master in the Boston Latin school, retired from active duty. He is the oldest teacher in Boston and probably in the United States. His retirement is due to the 70-year limit rule adopted by the Boston school board. Mr. Capen has been a school-teacher 65 years, but since 1852 his service in the Latin school has been uninterrupted.

This comment on the award made to her by Justice Dowling in her successful act for a separation from Howard Gould is attributed to Mrs. Katherine Clemmons Gould who is greatly disappointed over the amount of alimony.

Duffy, who having been arrested several times on sundry charges and the police having photographed him for their gallery of record, appealed to Justice Gaynor, not as a judge but as a friend, to have his photograph removed from the Mulberry street store house. Justice Gaynor, being unsuccessful in his direct appeals to Commissioner Bingham to order the removal of the Duffy photograph, brought the matter to the attention of Mayor McChellan in a letter which was tantamount to a re THE bureau of municipal research of New York city recently made public the result of certain investigations which if carried out will put into the pockets of New York dentists something like 950,000. The investigations have had to do with the teeth of New York school children who sought permission to go to work this summer. The investigation was carried on at the department of health at the instigation of Miss Dorothy Whitney, acting in behalf of the junior league, and Charles Loring Brace for the Children's Aid society. The actual work of examining the teeth of 500 boys and girls was done by Wallace T. Van Winkle, D. S. under the supervision Dr. Jonathan Baker, head of the division of hygiene, and Arthur S. Merritt, artist in charge of the Children's Aid society's dental clinic at the Fifty-third street industrial school. The children came from all over town and were of all nationalities. mark with which the price scales of the St. Regis, Delgis, Delmonico's, Sherry's Martin's and other show places of the greater city are modest. Times and customs change, and the new Murray's marks the transition. Will such a place represent so representing so the paylay pay. Yes, say the capitalists of the city. And it is the consensus of opinion, moreover, of the shrewdest public entertainers in the city that there will be a legitimate and growing interest on this unique and remarkable investment devised to meet the aesthetic requirements of the most voluptuous city on the globe. The backers of the enterprise figure right, it is believed, that every woman coming to New York will insist upon her escort taking her to the daring dinged place at least once on her sojourn. The same holds good with the women of New York. And was there ever a place of such Neronic allurements to meet the languorous requirements of my lady of fashion! Would she smoke? That will be provided for. A luxurious smoking room for her is now being built, let alone a manicure parlor with French hair dressers and malds imported from Paris. She may be reperfumed, repowdered and redressed. Furthermore she may enlarge, urchish bath, be gowned by a maid as assistant, be worn at home and, with coifure, rearrange, take her jewels from the safe and after a Lucullan repast be ready for the opera. allowance which he has been directed to pay her. It was well known that he wished to avoid further airing of their marital difficulties. The allowance, furthermore, which the Jay Gould a year, and, although that was $36,000 a year, and, although that was $11,000 more than he had voluntarily given her, it was said to be little more than one-thirdth of his income. Although the alimony was low, in view of the large income from the Jay Gould estate, it is said to be the largest allowance that has ever been made in a case of this kind, so far in this country my court in this country could show, that a private settlement had been made. Mrs. Gould still retains a dower right in her husband's real estate, on which he set a valuation of $5,000,000 in testifying at the trial. Part of this is the $1,700,000 valuation of the Castle Gould estate, for which he failed to find a purchaser last year at $1.40. Howard Gould cannot mortgage or pay any of his real estate without his wife's consent, and she may place a lien on his estate to obtain her alimony in case he should default in his payments. quest to the mayor to remove the police commissioner on charges of exceeding his privileges, and the letter was couched in such strong terms that Gen. Bingham now seeks to hold the justice personally responsible for their defamatory reflections upon him. The news of the suit was as much a surprise to the mayor as it was to Justice Gaynor, Commissioner Bing, ham having made no threats of holding the justice accountable. News of such a suit against a member of the supreme bench gave a start to many persons active in the official life of the community and it was said that such a suit was almost, if not precedent. The only suit against a judge of the supreme court which could be recalled among court followers was one in the member of that bench in this city was once sued for recovery of a board bill. Justice Gaynor in his letter to the mayor laid emphasis on the fact that there was law in the land beyond which even a police commissioner could not go. Bingham said that in bringing this action he proposed to find out if there was law to which a supreme court justice was subject. He said his sues as an individual for the protection of personal character and has engaged as a personal counsel Austin G. Fox, with E. C. Crowley as attorney of record. They were taken as they secured their work papers, or "mercantile papers", and their ages range from 14 to 16. Of the 500 children only to had sound teeth, and these needed to be named. The other children, the bureaus, and the other go with out dental care, compartment or occasional crown or extraction or pay from $5,000 to $10,000 for treatment which means from five to ten weeks' earnings of the groups. The bureau says that if the unfortunate children were to have the same kind of treatment that parents of higher incomes would see that their children had, from $20,000 to $40,000 more must be added to these figures, representing tenement and avenue property. The girls have somewhat more than or equal proportion of bad teeth. Novel Idea for Tablecloth.

It is a very suitable house for a summer resort or for a small family in a suburban town. The size and shape of the house, with its heavy veranda and gable roof, give it a very neat, pleasant appearance, though small and inexpensive, it is by no means a cheap-looking house. When it looks well with the more expensive and more pretentious houses, and because of the splendid design it affords hot weather entertaining capacity superior to some larger ones. The way in which the veranda pliers are built should be noticed especially. The corner blocks are carried up in such a way that the pliers are simply extensions from corners of the walls, blocks being made to a suitable size. When the veranda openings between the walls have square corners so that screens may be easily and accurately fitted. More attention is being paid to veranda screens every year because of the added comfort. Even houses in are often screened in very carefully. But when it comes to a house's country, and especially at a summer resort, a complete set of fly screens carefully fitted add as much, or more, to the comfort of the family than any other one feature. When people go away from home in the summer time they prefer to live outdoors as much as,possible, and I find in visiting houses in suburban towns that people are appreciating fresh air privileges more than they breathe more air. People generally are breathing more air. People are sunshine and gether health because of the knowledge sent broadcast during the last few years giving the PORCH SUNK KITCHEN 10'6"X10'0" BED ROOM 10'0"X10'0" CLOS LIVING ROOM 18'0"X12'0" PORCH 21'0"X7'6" First Floor Plan. causes of tuberculosis and the proper preventive measures. I think that is another reason why such small houses as this are becoming popular in the outskirts of our larger cities. It often happens that these comfortable little cheap houses are built with the expectation of living in them during the summer months, but in reality the families remain in the greater part of the year, sometimes moving into the city only for the months of January and February. We are learning new tricks in building houses and in making use of them every year. And we are becoming more sensible. There is less vulgar display and more solid comfort. Fewer men are building big houses for the notoriously it brings them. More men are building little comfortable houses just big enough for their needs, and small enough so the women folks are of them without killing themselves. I have simply noted the desire on the part of the men for smaller and more convenient houses and have made plans accordingly. I have tried to give people what they want, and I believe I have succeeded. The interior of this little house is made the most of. The large living room, 12x18 feet in size, is very attractive, and it offers advantages in the way of furnishing that will be taken advantage of by women who are particularly to arrange their living room in a comfortable to comfort. In the workplace the chimney is conveniently placed both for the kitchen and for a fire in the living room. If desired, a fireplace can be --- built in at the time of building the house, or it may be added later. In a plan so small it seems better to leave out the pantry entirely, but the fact is pantries are not considered as important as they once were. In many cases, the pantry is clear across one side of the kitchen there are shelves and cupboards from BED ROOM 18'0"X10'0" BATH 7'0"X5'0" HALL BED ROOM 15'0"X8'6" Second Floor Plan the floor to the ceiling, which afford storeroom for everything necessary, and as there are four cupboard doors to open out it is easy to get at any part of the case of cupboards either for cleaning or to reach the supplies. The intention is to leave one end of the living room for the dining table. a plan that is often adopted by those living in small houses. Some housekeepers clear the table immediately after meals and use it for a reading table between times. Other housekeepers have a fancy movable screen that may be used to partition the table away from the rest of the room. Probably a combination of the two plans is the most satisfactory. Only by living in a house is it possible to know how to adjust yourself to the different circumstances and conditions. You learn by degrees to fit yourself into the corners along the walls and the articles of furniture that especially appeal to you, until you finally discover that you actually belong there and would not feel comfortable anywhere else. This is one of the strongest arguments in favor of buying a home. It is something to take a keen interest in, you put your whole heart into it, and you are happy, because the home is where the heart is. Shetland Ponies. The Shetland ponies are exceptionally strong, says Vogue, because for generations they have been accustomed to picking their way up and down the precipitous hillsides of the mountainous land of their birth. Unsoundness of wind or leg is almost unknown, and the little animals are, of course, very sure-footed. Originating in the Shetland islands, they are said to have been there prior to the ninth century, and have long and pure pedigrees. The breed is the smallest of ponies, the height ranging from 34 to 46 inches, and there are them in this country—only about 5,000 shelted lands, and less than that number in the east land islands. The disposition of the Shetland is of the best, the testimony of all breeders being to the effect that they are docile, fearless, loyal, patient and good-tempered. Moreover, they are inexpensive to keep, live to a great age, and are always salable. Narrow Escape from Death Roy Sprawl was in Death. Roy Sprawl was in Long Beach, Cal, from Wyoming is confined to his bed with nervous collapse, the result of a terrific experience. Sprawl went out to gather shells, and reaching under a rock to gather what he thought was a turtle shell, found his fingers caught in a vise by a big abalone. After trying to break loose, he used his pocket knife to pry open the shell, but broke both blades. To add to his terror the tide began to creep up and soon was up to his knees. For two hours he was held prisoner, until finally his cries were heard by a Japanese fisherman, who succeeded in releasing him. He was not injured, but the shock to his nerves was awful. When the Dog Was Dressed "Oh mamma," said little Jacky, running into the house; "our dog Tige is dressed awful funny." Mamma looked out of the window "Why, there is Tige," she replied "and he's not dressed at all. How could a big dog be dressed?" Jacky's eyes sparkled. "I wanted you to ask me that," he told her; "be cause I wanted to tell you that a dog is dressed after he's been running—when he wears a collar and pants." WASHINGTON GOSSIP Postal Statistics a Mass of Figures Miscellaneous Account of the Senate New Successful White House Hostess Belmonts to Dazzle National Capital WASHINGTON.—If you want to read an official fairy tale in figures of the nation's commercial progress get a copy of the latest bunch of postoffice statistics, just issued by A. L. Lawshe, the third assistant postmaster general. How he got all the figures on one page is still a mystery, but he certainly succeeded in piling up enough millions and billions to make any one's head swim. Counting postage stamps must be a lot like counting the grains of sand at the sea. At any rate, these careful counters of Uncle Sam's postoffice department have found out that last year the department issued 7,651,400-405 of the little sticky things. An overheated figure, who doesn't work for the postoffice department, figured out that if these little squares of paper were placed end to end they would run a couple of thousand feet over 120,760 miles. A footnote to the statistics shows that the sam ammend begin printing postage stamps until June 1, first year he entered in putting 800,380 on the market. Last year he issued 9,500 times that many—a fairly decent increase in the postoffice business in fifty-two years. The biggest figure on the page is the one that designates the number of pieces THE United States senate-pay, maintenance, odds and ends-costs about $2,000,000 a year. To be exact, the amount was $1,859,189,777 according to the last report rendered by Charles G. Bennett, secretary of the senate. The latter sum figures to $19,500 each per each of 92 senators. The money goes for a thousand and one things that classify between salaries and snuff. Compensation and mileage of senators, notably the mileage, requires a tidy sum. Pages, messengers, special police, clerks, private secretaries, minor senate officers, the senatorial army of retainers use up another large lump. Repairs, new furniture, the senate library, the senate stable, stationery and newspapers, response accounts of senate emissaries, the budget of the public expense of special committees, reporting senate debates and committee meetings, all form just a few of the other varieties through which the spare charge of the senate flows in a steady stream. PRESIDENT TAFT took his family to Beverly recently and left his wife and children there while he returned to Washington to stay out the tariff bill with congress. Mrs. Louise More of Cincinnati, sister of Mrs. Taft, accompanied the family to Beverly and will remain there some time, so as to relieve Mrs. Taft, who has been ill, of as much care as possible. Mrs. More is the wife of Prof. Louis More of the University of Cincinnati. She acted as hostess of the White house since Mrs. Taft suffered a nervous breakdown several weeks ago. She came to Washington with Judge Herron, her father, for a short visit, but when Mrs. Taft became ill she abandoned her own business and remained in Washington. This made it possible for Mrs. Taft to carry out the remainder of the entertainments which had already been scheduled, and Mrs. More took her place as hostess at several official dinner parties which Mrs. Taft had planned earlier in the season. Mrs. More won MRS. PERRY BELMONT has not abandoned her plan of invading Washington society. The new home of the Belmont just completed, which stands in a fashionable section New Hampshire avenue, will be dedicated to the objects for which it was built and will become the center of social and political interests in the national capital. There was a story that the Belmonts had decided to give up their Washington venture on account of the obstacles which President Roosevelt put in the way of their social plans. This disposition of President Roosevelt to regulate everything took a remarkable turn in the case of the Belmonts, and the administration, cabinet officers, and other high in the official scale to stay away from the Belmonts' functions. The first entertainment was a failure because of this taboo. The men came in large numbers and their of mail matter that were mailed in the United States last year. These toaled 13,172,340,329. A large proportion of these consisted of newspapers, for which no stamps are used. But in addition to the stamps which were sold a tiny rife of 1,366,600,558 stamped envelopes and wrappers was sold by the department. These Uncle Sam began to sell in 1882, when he needed a round 5,000,000 on the market. The figures for the mail handled were begun in 1886, when Uncle Sam carried 3,474,000,000 pieces of mail. The figures have quadrupled in a litte more than twenty years. In 1879, when Uncle Sam's postoffice started business with Benjamin Franklin lin as postmaster general, there were seventy-five post offices, and in the first year of their operation they did $37,935 worth of business, at an expense of $32,140. Since then the balance has moved to the other side and the expenditure for the revenues of the department were the pretty little sum of $191,478,633 while the expenditures were $202,351,886. The number of postoffices jumped from 75 to 61,158; the extent of the post routes from 1,875 to 450,738; the miles of mail service performed from a little over 800,000 to 538,438,722, and the compensation of the postmasters from $88,198 to $25,599,397. The most astounding growth was marked by the rural free delivery service. It was begun in 1897, with 83 routes, covering 1,843 miles, at an expense of $14,840. Last year it had grown to 39,143 routes, with $91,432 miles, and costing $34,500,000. Last, but not least, is that elastic account headed as "miscellaneous items." The senate's pin money pays for all the telegrams senators send and the replies. It supplies ice without stink; one month's bill, that for December 1980, is worth $10,000 polinarius. White Rock and other special waters. Potad Spring being fa vored because Senator Hale of Maine introduced it years ago. This water has come to possess a traditional standing as the proper thing—of its kind—to slack the senatorial thirst. The miscellany fund buys type writers and bicycles, horses, wagons, and maybe, an auto or two, although none are found listed in the classifier accounts. No senator was ever seen big enough by bicycle messengers, however, and the being a big-hearted institution, give the necessary machine. From January 1 to 31, 1908, Iddie Bamley received $122.10 for washing and ironing 407 towels for the senate. In the same month A. L. Ford got $79.80 for washing and ironing 266 towels during the same 31 days Edith A. Washington profited to the sum of $66.00 for washing and ironing 222 towels.

Mrs. Taft's first social season amstress of the White House was a brilliant success in spite of the nervous trouble which necessitated her withdrawal. Never in the history of generations has there been so much activity at the White House, and never had they get more noticeably and pleasantly brought to together. Persons who had not been in the White House for many months and some for several years, were again welcomed and hobbled with each other to an extent hard to be lieve. Mrs. Taft had hoped to accompany the president to Seattle the latter part of the summer, in an ex-perienced and an enthusiastic trait, and in the past has accompanied Mr. Taft on practically every trip of importance he has ever made. The president's wife will continue to submit to the restrictions placed upon her by her attending physicians and will rest absolutely throughout the summer in preparation for the so trivities of next season. When the official year begins at the White house Mrs: Taft will be found in her old place as hostess, and will undoubtedly feel the great benefit which the summer rest at Beverly is expected to provide. wives with few exceptions absented themselves. But the Belmonts had already made plans for their new home. They had brought their architect from Paris and incurred much expense. Mrs. Belmont was not dawned. Be fore long she was entertaining Col Bromwell, the official major dome of the White House under the Roosevelt regime, and his wife at theater parties, and her field of social conquest was gradually extended until now she is perfectly at home as an entertainer. Next winter on her return from abroad she will throw open her new palace for entertainments that are likely to make her critics sit up. Cleaned Up Their Pin Money. Two Indiana women clubbed together and purchased a small vacuum house cleaner at $30 and are now earning good pin money in that way. They rent it out to neighbors at $2 a day for cleaning houses and house furnishings, a boy being employed at small charge to operate the simple machine. There are cheaper vacuum cleaners on the market, but they bought a good make, which has paid big retrums on their investment of $15 each. FIRST BLOW FOR FREEDOM. Part Played by Town of Alamance, N. C., in the Struggle for American Independence. Baltimore, Md.-School children generally are taught that the first clash of arms in the American revolution was at Lexington in 1775. As a matter of fact, the first meeting of British and American forces was at Alamance, N. C. May 16, 1771. There an organization of colonists, known as the Regulators and pledged to resist excessive taxation, came to blows with a force of British troops under the command of Göv. Tryon. In the engagement the British numbered 1,100, their killed and wounded 81; THE TOMB OF THE MARTYR OF THE WAR OF THE UNION OF THE WAR OF THE UNION Monument Commemorating First Battle of Revolution. Regulators, 2,000, their total loss about 200. The Regulators were short of arms and ammunition, and after two hours of fighting were compelled to disperse escape capture and execution. Several were arrested and executed later, among them James Pugh, who just before his death declared: "Our blood will be as good seed in good ground, that, will soon produce one hundred fold." North Carolina citizens have organized an "Alamance Battle Ground Company," for the purpose of preserving and adorning the ground on which the first struggle took place. The monument marking the spot was erected in 1880. NEW INDIAN COMMISSIONER. Robert G. Valentine Promoted to Post Held by Francis E. Leupp—Career of the Official. Washington.—The resignation of Francis E. Lepp as commissioner of Indian affairs, which had been pending for nearly four months, was accepted the other day by President Taft, and Robert G. Valentine, assistant commissioner, was named to succeed him. Mr. Lepp has wanted to respond for some time on account of ill health. Mr. Valentine, the new commissioner, is only 36 years old. After leaving the Boston Institute of Technology, was engaged for a time in banking, and later in the railroad business. He was obliged to give up his railroad work and go south for his health. Robert G. Valentine. His doctor warned him against going back farther north than Washington, so he settled in this city and took up newspaper work with one of the correspondents of a New York paper. While thus engaged he fitted himself for a position, and was later made secretary to Commissioner Leupur. In his spare moments he made a systematic study of the Indian bureau and was soon thoroughly conversant with its affairs. It was this special knowledge that prompted Commissioner Leupur to recommend him for appointment as deputy commissioner. Mr. Valentine is regarded by those who have come in contact with him in the uniting industry, a close student of affairs and one who is not daunted by obstacles. Mrs. Sage Helps Boy's School. Mrs. Russell Sage has given $25,000 as an endowment fund to Miss Martha Berry's school for boys near Rome, Ga. The school was founded several years ago by boys who were not able to give them an education. It is conducted on a small farm and the boys do most of the work on the place in payment for their tuition and board. Food for Pet Owls Young owls are easily raised on fresh meat.

SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1909 Referring to Senator Culberson, the New Orleans State says: "He recognized that the great masses of the people are and forever must be poor, and one of the primary ends of government is to protect the millions of the helpless poor from the avarice and oppression of the few who are strong and aggressive." All of which is certainly very true, and the words should have great force because of their truth and importance. But they will not have that effect, simply because the Senator's whole life has been such as to show that he kicks only when his ox is gored. The majority of the helpless poor in Texas are black people, but when Culberson was Governor of Texas he failed to see that the end of government was to "protect the helpless poor." Senator Culberson's life has been HON. SHELBY M. CULLOM Illinois' Senior United States Senator, and Grand Old Man. HON.

Sic vas non vobis. EMIGRATION TO CANADA. Some of the farsseeing newspapers are looking with anxious eyes to the great emigration to Canada which is in operation in many of the Northern states, composed, as it is, of the very best class of citizens. The Washington Herald says: "Never before in the history of the world has there been witnessed a migration of so large proportions of men and women of wealth, intelligence and energy as is now taking place from the United States to Canada." The cause of this phenomenon is casily stated: Canada is offering to these emigrants far superior to any now offered in this country, especially cheap and fertile farms in place of the worn-out soil of the older states, being the greatest. Next, Canada is yet a poor man's country, while in the United States the barons are driving the poor man to the wall in order to swell the profits of the Eastern manufacturers, and to enable the female Goulds to indulge in $600 dresses, to be worn one single time. The South offers no inducements to the class of emigrants referred to above, despite its rich soil and abundant resources, its idiotic legislators, lynchers and night riders are everlasting barriers against any tide of immigration. On the other hand the Northern states seem to be in danger of being cursed with an excess of undesirable immigrants. The Black Hand and Camorra seem to have become established institutions, with ramifications throughout the country. The situation is far from inspiring. THE HARVEST. As the harvest season opens, the oft-repeated cry comes from the fields that there are no laborers. Orchard men cannot find enough help to pick the fruit as it ripens. Hay growers are compelled to let the crop stand uncut in the fields until its value is greatly diminished, because farm laborers are too scarce to go around, and the same is true of the wheat harvest. We quote the above wall from one of the most influential journals in the country. On the other hand, we are aware of some other facts which are equally true and equally significant. One is that there is an army of unemployed men, women and children in each of our large cities, hovering upon the brink of starvation and driven into crime by actual need. And we know that California bars out laborers who are off-color and the South reduces foreign laborers and their own Afro- American laborers to a condition of peonage. We also know that Mrs. Gould pays $700 for a dress to be worn a single time. Praise God, from whom all blessings flow. U. B. F. AND S. M. T. LARGEST SECRET SOCIETY. The largest secret organization among Afro-Americans., the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten, which holds its Sixteenth Triennial Meeting in St. Paul July 26-31, is also entitled to the distinction of having been originated by Afro-Americans and cannot be said to be a copy of any other organization. Chief of Police J. T. Thomas, of Jessup, Ga., took Miss Arabelle Harper, aged 18, out riding one day last week. During the ride Thomas drew a revover and threatened the young lady with instant death unless she submitted to his amorous embrace. The papers say: "Threats of lynching have been made." What would the papers have said if instead of Thomas some black man had made the same sort of threat? SHOULD BE NO RACE, CREED OR COLOR LINE. Prominent Jews are becoming dissatisfied with the policy of the government in classifying them as a distinct race, in the census and other official publications. They claim to be Americans as any other class of people, and so they are. Their case is the same as that of the Afro-Americans of the country, except that their status has not been legally declared by specific enactment as has been done in the case of the Afro-American. TURKS SUPERIOR TO CHRISTIANS? The general impression of the Turks is that they are a semi-barbarous race, and their country a blot upon the map of Europe. But we notice that Turkey has invited the Jews of Russia to settle in her borders and has assured them of protection. It certainly seems strange that the ancient people of God should be compelled to leave Christian Russia in order to accept the protection of Mohammedan Turkey. The white man's claim to supremacy is already in a somewhat wabbly condition owing to the delay of Mr. Jeffries in responding to the invitation of Mr. Johnson to meet him and settle the matter. And, moreover, Mr. Johnson asserts that such acceptance will make him, the aforesaid Johnson, the happiest man in Pittsburg. The world is longing for an exhibition on the part of these gentlemen, not of forensic, but of static ability. To the Victor the Spoils By CLINTON DANGERFIELD (Copyright, 1899, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) Mrs. Allen's house party was a success; she never tolerated anything but successes. She moved, or thought she moved, her guests like puppets; she made matches so deftly that not even the shrewdest observers saw her white, be-ringed hand in the matter, nor detected one look of triumph in her innocent eyes. Therefore she had done nothing unusual in engaging Viola Mattice to the notoriously Napoleonic financier, and twenty times millionaire, Claftin Turlock; neither was Turlock surprised to find himself accepted by Viola. The financier was a trained observer of the worth of wine and women; but not song. In place of song he would have instanced diamonds. He knew at once that Viola was exceptionally beautiful and, with the cunning of the conscienele, she smelt her sense of honor, which would render her a woman to trust with his name, even though she desperately admitted that she did not love him. He cared nothing for soul fancies. He coveted mere possession. As to Viola, the pressure brought to bear on her had been enormous. It is easy to appreciate how a poor family can put the thumbscrews on a beautiful woman, who should make such a match as to redeem the afore- She Uttered No Sound. said family as a financial whole. Viola as Turlock's wife could give them glistening glory, where they now barely had a competence. True there are some small-minded people who are contented with a competence; but they grow less and less in our happy republic. Hence Viola yielded to the thumbscrews, and found herself envied by every woman in that luxurious household. The men envied Turlock; but most of them merely remarked that it was Turlock's way to get the best of everything. Only one human being was fiercely resentful of Turlock's easily, prophesied triumph in the fields of love; but then Otterburn never could be taught a proper appreciation of money, and when he learned of Turlock's engagement from Turlock's own lips, as the two men faced each other in an accidental encounter (in Mrs. Allen's beautiful natural park) Otterburn turned a deadly white that made his young, Antinous face look as though fresh from some sculptor's hands, so like marble it grew. "I don't believe it," he said flatly to Turlock. We snatch at denials to save ourselves, for a few moments at least. "She's got my ring on now; that' diamond cost me a cool five thousand. I've got a whole rivière ready for her neck—ever notice how perfectly it's turned?" The color did not return to Otterburn's face. Through its whiteness it seemed to harden. "She's not the kind of woman you can buy," he said. "She loves me!" exulted Turlock. Otterburn looked at him. "You!" he said, and the single word was as eloquent as a volume. It seemed to hold up before Turlock a picture of his cruelly cunning, gross, heavy-cut, though shrewd face, his small, inscrutable eyes, his wide mouth, his huge red ears, his overweight, but powerful body. "Yes, me!" he snarled. "Did you think your beauty would help you?" think your beauty would help you?" "It wasn't a question of looks," said Otterburn hotly, his color beginning to return. "I've my faults, and it would take my whole yearly income to buy such a ring as you instance; but at least I'm clean. Back in the days when men were pitted against each other as men, and not as money-spinning spiders, what chance would you have had against me?" The thrust went home. "You be careful," said Turlock. "You young puppy, or I'll smash you here and now. I'm twice your match in weight, in size." "Granted," returned Otterburn, scornfully, "but there are other things that count beside weight and size. God—to think how you've lived, and that she." The financier's fist flew wildly out, with no touch of warning. But in Otterburn's brain instinct spoke before reason, his guard met the fist and in the next second, slipping out of his light summer coat, he had sprung on his antagonist. Certainly to all appearances everything was in the heavyweight's favor. The men closed in a straining wrestle, their bodies interlocked as one, and by contrast it might have been a young Greek of Olympian days pitted against some dominant satyr, so hideous was Turlock's passion-purple face. Neither dreamed that the bushes had quietly parted and that a woman stood there with gleaming eyes and parted lips, watching breathlessly this unexpected, strange contest. She ut- tered no sound, but drew her white gown round her and waited, waited while the quick, sharp breathing of the combatants, the flashing change of pose in all the commanding, imperious call of visible force against visible force, locked her into keen, observant receptive silence. With unseen forces she was familiar. Viewlessly they had snatched at her and played with her, and then driven her into this engagement, while her heart cried out for Otterburn and peace. But his "littleness" in comparison to the politically and financially powerful Turlock had been hounded into her ears. Always his littleness—a mere child beside Turlock—Turlock's forces were all in all. But now—had a miracle happened? For the all-powerful Turlock's face, distorted with rage, began also to show weakness; gasps came from his chest, and presently, even to her uninitiate eye, it was apparent that Otterburn was breaking him, was crushing out his strength. And then came another change. Deft, irresistible, magnificently master of every muscle, Otterburn suddenly writed, twisted, seemed to stoop, and then the mass of Turlock's huge bulk rose like magic to the younger man's supple, splendid shoulders and was pitched bodily over them ignominiously to the earth, like a despised sack of ore. The victor whirled on his heels and stood there, gazing down on his defeated foe and, in Otterburn, the glory of a man's personal, fearless bodily power made the money-king shrink into a mere coupon-girt mass. For a moment Turlock lay there; then, mad with rage, but tamed by fear, raised himself to an elbow. "Go away!" he snarled hideously, then his eyes met Viola's. "Damnation!" he choked, still too jarred and shaken to rise. "You here?" Viola laughed, a strange, wild little laugh; then, as Otterburn turned swiftly, in the uttermost astonishment at her presence, she suddenly raised her left hand and something, drawn from her third finger, fell, gleaming vainly, to the earth. She held out her bare hand to Otterburn. "They said you were "little," she sobbed, "that he was stronger." And I believed them. Will you play we are back in those old days you spoke of—"when men—not money-spinners—were pitted against each other? and one could—could see—who could protect one—" Otterburn took the hand she offered; as he did so the financier scrambled up, covered with dust and almost too furious to speak. "Are you crazy, Viola?" he stammered, "to love that mass of muscle? Why, I can buy a prize-fighter's services any day." "You could buy muscle, but not be it—you could buy—much—and not be it. It's the being—strong. Don't you see? And I warned you I didn't love you." She hid her face on Otterburn's shoulder. "Strong!" The word strangled in Turlock's throat. Was he not strong? Could he not tear down law and even make senators? But now, through even this comforting remembrance, cold realization clutched him—he was facing a power beyond his powers. He could buy, but, by ocular proof before the woman, he could not be. She was shamelessly crying in Otterburn's arms, and, raging volcanically, but tamed by bodily fear, Turlock flung from the place. A New Kind of Postal Card. The advertising manager of a big business house in Philadelphia has invented a postcard, which has been patented in this country and all over Europe and will probably be widely used for advertising and souvenir purposes. It consists of an ordinary postcard with a round hole in the middle about the size of a quarter, and a collapsible figure of rice paper pasted on the back. This figure may be any shape desired and may be printed with the likeness of historic buildings or other things it is desired to reproduce. A puff of the breath through the hole fills out the rice paper figure, which assumes the wanted shape and stays that way until again folded. It is an interesting novelty and particularly well adapted to bear figures of buildings of historic or other interest. The collapsible card will also be made in the form of a bank, with a slot for coins. The inventor happened on this idea while building cardboard figures for his little daughter. Chicago Behind New York The Chicago Daily News complains of the haphazard way of reporting car accidents in that city and pleads for a law, like New York's compelling the traction people to register officially within a specified time all casualties. "Chicago," says the News, "is behind many other communities with respect to the reporting of accidents on transportation lines. In New York the companies are required to make to the public service commission detailed reports of all accidents. Further, that body has its own investigating force to conduct additional inquiries and to make permanent records of the facte as found, as well as to formulate recommendations, based on study of the facts, for the prevention of accidents in the future." Where Brooklyn Got Name Brooklyn got its name from the first Dutch settlers who took up their residence on that part of Long Island. As it is now spelled it is nothing more than a corruption of the Dutch name Breuckelan, which was given to it by the settlers in honor of the village of Bruekelan in the prince of Utrecht, Holland. The name signifies "Broken Up Land," and came from the fact that at the time the sturdy Dutch pilgrims settled there a large part of the land was marshy, with occasional spots that were habitable. Workman's Delicate Feat An expert workman in one of the great needle factories, in a test of skill, performed one of the most delicate meats imaginable. He took a common sewing needle of medium size, an inch and five-eighths in length, and drilled a hole through its entire length from eye to point, the opening being just large enough to permit of the passage of a very fine hair. ```markdown ``` An unseasonal Christian Institution, devoted especially to advanced education, offers a variety of educational programs, including School of Computer Industrial Training, Superior advantage, Music and Principles for boys, Physical education for girls, Home life and training, Aid given to needy and ill children, begins the Greek language, Presidency and information, address President MORACE BUMSTEAD, D.

The various committees have been at work like Trojans, and especially is this true of the Finance Committee. Already there has been enough money secured and is now in bank to pay all the obligations of the committee, such as the prizes offered, the rent of the Fair Grounds, and boat for the excursion, etc. It only requires for the people to take care of the visitors on their arrival, and there is no danger that that will not be done. Everything bids fair to the people of St. Paul having the grandest week in the history of the city. The program of the week includes the grand reception at the old capitol Monday night; the grand boat excursion Tuesday night; the grand parade Wednesday afternoon and the grand reception and ball at the Auditorium Wednesday night; the grand outing and prize drill at the Fair Grounds Friday and the grand trolley ride Saturday, to say nothing of the smaller events. It will be a grand week and no mistake. One of the great features of the U. B. F. Triennial is the "Coupon Book" system which is to be operated. When the delegates and visitors arrive they will be at once escorted to the General Headquarters at the old state capitol, where they will be registered and purchase Coupon Books. These books cost $12.50 each, which represents the total amount of the expense one needs to be at. The books contain 6 coupons, good for lodging at 50 cents per night: 6 coupons, good for breakfast and 6 coupons, good for dinner at 35 cents each, and 6 coupons, good for supper at 30 cents each. These coupons may be redeemed at their face value immediately after their purchase, or any other time, by any one presenting them to Treasurer B. R. Durant, who will be in his office at all times during Triennial week, and after the Triennial will be redeemed upon publication of the announcement. A member of Executive Board, F. L. McGhee, 88-80 Union Block, so that no one needs to hesitate to accept them when offered for lodging or board. The books will also contain coupons, good for an official badge and for the great Boat Excursion on Tuesday night; also for admission and supper at the grand Reception and Ball at the Auditorium Wednesday night; also for fare on the cha ```markdown ``` OF S LODGE NO. 6 PYTHIAS IN WARE and BARGE ing, July 26. 50 CENTS if you miss it!

There fore every purchaser of a coupon book will be prepared for everything that's coming off during the week and need not go to any further expense unless on or she chooses to do so. Every "Coupon book" is secured by its face value in cash in the bonded Treasurer, B. R. Durant, and no one need to have any fears regarding their prompt payment upon presentation to the proper person. U. B. F. NOTES. There will be no meeting of North Star Lodge next Tuesday evening as the lodge room has been given up for the meeting of the General Committee of the Triennial, which all members are requested to attend as it will probably be the last meeting of the committee before the meeting of the Grand Lodge.

Everybody must get busy. Thursday of Triennial week is Minneapolis Day when the visitors will be entertained by the people of Minneapolis in various ways, winding up with a grand Reception and Ball at Holcomb Hall, at which the beauty and chivalry of the Flour City will be seen at its best.

ROPOSED PANAMA HIGHWAY. Road for Motors May Skirt the Banks of the Canal. Banks of the Canal. The Royal mall boats, the Hamburg American boats, the French and Italian boats all bring their quota of tourists and sightseers onto the isthmus, everyone of whom seems to be carried away with the magnitude of the work going on and with the conditions as they find them. It would surprise me if, in the near future, because of the magnificent climate and of the natural interest that is being centered in and about the isthmus on account of the building of the canal, a great winter resort should be built up here; especially would this be a foregone conclusion if good roads should be constructed clear across the isthmus along the route of the canal. Roads are being constructed upon both sides of the isthmus by the isthmian canal commission. Mileage is not very extensive, and there seems to be no tangible movement toward extending the roads now being constructed across from Colon to Panama. The distance is only about forty-seven miles, and if a pike should be laid out and well macadamized, there could be no more beautiful highway imagined for the driving of automobiles and horse highway vehicles, especially so if the highway should skirt along the banks of the canal and the numerous lakes which will be formed thereby, so that the panoramic view could be maintained in all its beauty. There is just enough rise and fall to break the monotony, and at the same time afford easy grades for vehicles to move upon. This is the only highway in the world where one could cross from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean in two hours' time. It is also the only place in the world so far as I know where the sun seems to rise and set over the Pacific ocean viewed from the land. It is also the only place in the world, if my geography is correct, where a town on the Pacific ocean lies east of another town located upon the Atlantic ocean, as is the case with Panama and Colon. It would be a splendid thing if the isthman canal commission would construct a road from Colon to Panama.—New Orleans Picayune. Open Air Elementary School Open Air Elementary School. The Norwich education committee recently approved the holding of an open air school at Belle Vue, in the Eaton suburb of the city, from the middle of May to the middle of October, for 100 children, to be drawn from the elementary schools on account of some physical weakness. This novel school will be open from half past 8 in the morning until half past 6 or 7 at night. The children will be conveyed to and from the school on tramcars and will have three meals a day there. The school will be open for five days a week for twenty weeks, and voluntary contributions will be invited toward the cost of the meals provided. The object is to improve the children physically and enable them the better to receive their education. Peter Cooper's Locomotive The first attempt to use engines in the United States for any other than experimental purposes was in 1829 by the Hudson & Delaware Canal company, from Carbondale to Honesdale, Pa., a distance of sixteen miles. The engines were made in England. In the following year Peter Cooper built the first locomotive in the United States. It weighed less than a ton; its boiler was about the size of a flour barrel and its flues were made of gun barrels. Mr. Cooper was highly elated because his engine made better time than the horses of other railroads. Sheridan's Spelling. The author of "The School for Scandal" had highly original views on the rules of spelling. In his Critic days, for instance, a, "thing" to Sheridan was always a "think" and never by any chance did he remember that a "which" or a "whore" to be really respectable must needs possess an "aitch apiece". This rule of omission he also followed sheeplike in "wether" for "whether". Moreover, he scorned the use of a double "m" or a double "s". For example, "blessedness" was always "blessedness." At the Right Counter The old lady with the pale blue umbrella had been standing at the stationery counter for ten minutes. "I want to be waited on," she snapped impatiently. "Certainly, madam," hastened the tall floorwalker. "Do you wish a stationery clerk?" "Stationery clerk? Gracious! They all seen stationary. They don't want to move." Truthful Answer. "How old are you madam?" queried the lawyer who was doing a cross-examining stunt. "I don't know," answered the witness. "You don't know!" echoed the legal light in surprise. "No, shi," replied the woman. "I was too young to count during my first few years of my life, so I lost track of my age." It was the final day of school And the friends of Willie Wise Were out in force, expecting to See Willie swipe the prize. He said, with outstretched hands: "Under the spreading blacksmith tree The village chestnut stands." Deduction. "Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are," boasted an amateur sage. "Well, I ate a welsh rabbit and lemon pie last night." "You're a fool." "Was his auto going so very fast!" "Your honor, it was going so fast that the bulldog on the seat beside him looked like a dachshund."

Tees tere: Mved in a amall hut in’ the alley near State St. be- tween Lake and Randolph strects, plain but devout Afro-American named John Day. A few Afro-Americans used to congregate at Day's house to hold prayer meetings. This house becom- ing too small, the meetings were re. moved to the’ house of Maria Parker who lived adjoining Day's Maria Parker had a daughter, Mrs, Anna Ful- ton, the oldest member of Guinn chap el how living.
