The Craze to Do "Something New" Some of the Latest and Most Extraordinary Ways of Performing Strange Feats WEDDED IN A FLYING BALLOON BY WIRELESS TELEPHONE WINS A HUSBAND BY WRITING A LETTER ON A FLOPPIN AMAZING SUNSHINE Douglas PANTOM VOL. 25. NO. 33. The Cra "Something Some of the La Extraordinary forming St W HEN Herman Lindeman, the foreman of a Chicago printing establishment, and Miss Ella Zister, to whom he was engaged to be mar- ried, quietly slipped away from Chicago a few days ago they apparently had all their plans laid to create a sensation. They had conceived a few of their closest friends before leaving that they were going to Elkhart Ind., to be married. They didn't want to spend wedding, they had said. They presented something more romantic, a quiet wedding, with all the trimmings of an elopement. So they eloped; but instead of going to Elkhart they went to St. Joseph, Mich., where an obliging justice of the peace made them man and wife. Early the next morning they alighted from the train at South Bend, Ind., went direct to the hotel where they had engaged a room ahead by telegraph, took breakfast, walked down to the St. Joseph river and apparently committed suicide in a most deliberate and novel manner. First they engaged a small rowboat at Charlton on the river bank where pleasurable boats are kept on. Lily Deman stepped in, galantly helped his wife aboard, took the oars and headed for the dam near island park, a pleasure resort a mile or so below the town. As the small boat neared the dammen and women on the island and on the river banks were alarmed to see Lindeman cast aside the cars and stand up, allowing the current to sweep the boat onward to destruction. His wife stood up, too, and Lindeman put his arm around her to support her as she waded through warnings that were being shouted at them to row for their lives. Instead of making any effort to save himself or his wife, Lindeman coolly lighted a cigarette and waved it at the panic stricken people on the river bank. As for his wife, she rested her head on his shoulder and waited for the end. Went to Their Death Laughing. A few moments later the rowboat brink the brink of the dam. The young boatman jumped in. Then the boat went down over the edge and was found some time afterward overturned and slowly floating WEDDED FLYING BY WIRE TELEPH down stream. The bodies of Lindeman and his wife were not recovered until late that night. If Mr. and Mrs. Lindeman went to South Bend with the deliberate intention of committing suicide together, and there is every evidence that they did, they certainly selected a novel and most tragic way in which to take their own lives. But more remarkable still was the way in which Douglas Sherwin Fith Panton, a London lawyer, ended his life at a lonely spot on the rocky coast of Cornwall a few weeks earlier. His dead body, mancled hand and foot and dressed in woman's attire, was found on the rocks at the foot of the cliff at Mousehole, a village close to Penzance and not far from the spot where John Davidson, the poet, recently disappeared under most mysterious circumstances. Douglas Panton was 35 years of age and a grandson of W. P. Fritch, the father of artist. On the day previous to the final day of Banton arrived at Penzance by boat, he and registered at the Queen's hotel as "D. Platten, London." His luggage consisted of a brown leather suit case, which he guarded carefully and insisted on carrying to his room. That evening he went out for a walk, taking a big paper bundle with him. Later he was seen walking along the cliff near Mousehoe, a picturequest hamlet about three miles from Penzance. He took his paper bundle with him. This last time he was seen alive. He did not return to his hotel that night. On the following evening a boy wandering along the cliff spied what appeared to be a woman's body, fully dressed, lying among the rocks close to the water. When the police and the coast guard reached the place they made an extraordinary discovery. There were handcuffs fastened the woman and ankles of the woman. A woman had close cropped hair and a beard. The body was later identified by Philip N. Panton of London as that of his brother Douglas. Went to Death Dressed as Woman. Scattered along the top of the cliff near where the body was found the police picked up a pair of trousers, one shoe, a walking stick, a bracelet set with paste diamonds, a waistcoat, a linen shirt, a pair of cuff links and a belt, the body was discarded by Panton in favor of the other clothes in which his body was found. These comprised a brown jacket with black braid, a brown skirt with black braid round the bottom, a crepe de chine petticoat with lace, a blue motor vell, a cashmere blouse, black stockings, corsets, underlinen and a pair of lady's high-heeled shoes. It is supposed by the police who inwardly has his remarkable case that Panton changed his clothing at the top of the cliff, adjusted the handcuffs to his ankles and wrists, and then either jumped or fell to his death. The IN A BALLOON BLESS HOME MISS A HUSBAND BY WRITING A LETTER ON A COFFIN AMAZING SUNSHINE DOUGLAS PAINTING fall killed him. Death was not due to drowning, although the body had been submerged at high tide in the night. The body had been prevented from being washed out to sea by a protecting rock behind which it had lodged. The body was being young barrister, single, and fairly ill-to-do. He had not been considered考虑考虑, and no reason why he should want to take his life has yet been discovered. But that he did take it there appears to be no doubt, and when he committed suicide he sought, like Mr. and Mrs. Lindeman, a new in way to do it. Inkas Sand Dust Beneficial. But the craze to do something new is not confined to those of a morbid turn of mind. Imagine a man eating THE APPEAL. MISS ELLA ZISTER COOLLY LIGHTED A CIGARETTE AND WAVED IT AT THE PANIC STRICKEN PEOPLE HERMAN LINDEMAN 12 spoonfuls of sand, partly because he likes sand and partly to win a wager of five dollars. J. M. Hubbard, an architect, of St. Joseph, Mo, has a theory that ordinary building sand, eaten in small doses, has a very beneficial effect on the human system. At least, he says he has found it so in his own case. Mr. Hubbard was in Minneapolis on business last month while chatting with some travelmate at the hotel he ventured to express his opinion of the medicinal value of building sand. Nobody seemed to believe that the architect ever ate any of it. Mr. Hubbard offered to eat a dozen spoonfuls of sand just to prove that he knew what he was talking about. Then William Brand, the hotel clerk, bet him five dollars that he couldn't do any such thing. The traveling man seemed to think that such a dose of building sand would kill the architect. So he sent for the sand and they all stood around him while he gulped 12 heaping teaspoonfuls. He seemed to relish it and he collected the five dollars and did not suffer any ill effects. "Sand in considerably smaller doses than the one I took is one of the best things in the world for the stomach," he explained after the performance. MISS ELLA ZISTER COOLLY LIGHTED A CIGARETTE AND WAVED IT AT THE PANIC STRICKEN PEOPLE "I don't place any faith in the theory of those travelling men that sand is poison or that it hurts the membranes. I am going to go on eating sand all my life, because it is better than any other medicine I know of." Married in a Balloon. Married in a balloon and by wireless telephone is the latest word in unusual marriages. Carey A. Beege of Seattle and Miss Margaret A. Hall of Lewiston, Mont., both taken with the craze to do something new and original, were married that way at Seattle a couple of weeks ago. In the basket when the balloon sailed skyward were only the engaged couple. The balloon was equipped with a double telephone system of the wireless variety. The wireless operator was on the ground below, surrounded by bridesmaids, the best man, other attendants and the relatives of the young man. An Episcopal minister, Dr. Sundsturm, was also present to officiate at this very odd wedding ceremony. While the balloon was sailing away the wedding proceeded. The minister read the marriage service and asked Mr. Beege and Miss Hall the usual questions by wireless telephone, and their replies were promptly received. After the ceremony was ended and the new wedded palp had received consent to marry, Mr. Beege opened the big valve in the top of the balloon they descended in safety to be overwhelmed with more congratulations and kisses. At Los Angeles, Cal., Mrs. Lillian M. Hoag has broken all records by fasting for 49 days. The highest known previous record was that of Etta Priscilla Grove, a Chicago school teacher, who fasted at Long Beach 41 days a year ago. Her Long Fast Beneficial. Mrs. Hoag's fast was broken a few days ago when she "dined" with her brother. Her first "meal" consisted of a small candleaupole. This long peri- fect meal was so ill that she was illness that the woman hoped to overcome refraining from food of any kind. The result was even more wonderful than she herself hoped for. Throughout this long fast Mrs. Hoag did her own housework and washing, cooked the home meals and performed all the tasks of housekeeper. Rising every morning at 4:30 o'clock she was active until between nine and ten o'clock at night, when she retired to sound sleep. Romantic engagements and even happy reunions were result from notes written on eggs, box a, pers or bidden in goods consigned to far cities. The latest romance of this king, and possibly the most unus Defective Page unl, will culminate within the next few days in the wedding of Joseph Law, of Sloux City, Ia., to Miss Mary Kingsley, of Tillingham, Conn. About a year ago, in a spirit of fun, she wrote a note on a coffin in the factory where she is employed, wrapped it around the handle of the coffin and then waited to see what happened. The casket in due course reached the Westcott undertaking establishment at Sloux City, where Mr. Law is employed. He found the note inclosed in the tissue paper wrapper covering one of the handles. He answered it. Miss Kingsley replied and the correspondence soon grew so serious that after an exchange of photographs the pair announced their engagement. Mr. Law left Sloux City last week for Miss Kingsley's home, where the wedding will take place. New York World. SIGN OF SOMETHING WRONG. Drowsiness During Normal Waking Hours is Something That Should Be Looked Into. Sleepiness is a normal and healthy condition when it occurs at the usual bedtime. The sleepiness is often overpowering, but it is not always associated with sleep. Some persons in ERMAN INDEMAN perfect health and excellent sleepers hardly know the meaning of drowsiness; they are active mentally and physically until they are in bed; then sleep comes at once, and when it leaves them in the morning they are again in full mental awakness. They are less fortunate persons who never have adequate rest in factory night's rest, who are yet almost constantly drowsy; they are always nodding, but when the head touches the pillow sleep recedes, and the night is a succession of drowsy lapses to sleep with the instant return of semi-consciousness. In general, with the exception noted at the beginning of this article, drowsiness is abnormal, and indicates something wrong, either in the body of the person, or those who habitually cut off their hours, the "night owls" and the burners of the midnight oil, pay for their had habit by attacks of sleepiness in the afternoon and early evening; later, unfortunately, after the influence of digestion wears off, the drowsiness appears, and then, relieved of his burden, the person "sits up to all hours" again, thinking in that way to make up for the hour lost by drowsiness. You could abandon his owlish habit, go to bed at times and get his seven or eight hours, and sleep that he needs, his dytomatic and drowsing drowsiness would disappear he could do more and better work, and find life much more enjoyable. A slight drowsiness is often noticed after a hearty meal, because active digestion draws a greater volume of blood to the stomach, so that the brain is relatively poorly supplied. In some southern countries this tendency is favored, and the siesta after the noon meal is a national custom. With us, the after dinner cup of black coffee often drives away the impulse to sleep—whether for good or may be left to the physiologist to do. Sometimes we hear of attacks of sleepiness occurring suddenly at or after periods of the day or at irregular intervals. These are altogether abnormal, and in such cases there is almost always some poison at work in the nervous centers—usually a self-manufactured poison, which, because it is made in too great quantity or because constipation or kidney disease is rapid elimination, accumulates in the system. An essential in the treatment of such cases is dieting. Meals should be given up, for a time at least, and the only beverage allowable is water or milk—Youth's Companion. Of Course They Are.

MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. Epifanio Portela, envoy extraordinary from Argentina, has risen to remark that Americans could get more trade with his country if they only had ships sailing from New York or some other central point to Buenos Ayres. As it is now, about the only way that American goods can be shipped to Argentina is by way of Europe. But four American ships visited Buenos Ayres in 1908. Despite this handicap, the envoy says, the residents of his land took nearly $50,000,000 of American goods last year. The total annual trade is $600,000,000. "The people of our country would like to trade with America," says Portela, "but as it is, the countries of Europe can undersell yours on everything except agricultural machinery, which constitutes the bulk of the $50,000,000 business.

Georges Picquart, alternately France's military hero and the target for her opprobrium, fate has played a pretty game of battledore. A bureau clerk with a military rank and title, he became a national character when the Dreyfus affair was at its height by suddenly espousing the cause of that officer at the moment of his greatest unpopularity. As a consequence, Picquart was hated, cursed, threatened, ridiculed. But history moves rapidly in la belle France and public opinion races between extremes. After Zola and the courts of last degree, Picquart was freed, whitewashed, cheered and promoted. Upon the trial of a reaction, his friends like Picquart rode to popular popularity.

C. B., K. C. V. O., C. M. G., who will succeed Sir John Fisher in October next as the active head of the English navy, is a sailor who has risen to his pres- ent position by sheer hard work and competence. He is not a spectacular person, like Lord Charles Beresford or his immediate predecessor, Sir John Fisher, but he has distilled himself by al- ways doing the job that was given him in excel- lent shape and without any unnecessary fuss and noise.

Botterill, a London (England) civil engineer, has proposed the building of a sea level canal 120 feet wide and 21 feet deep across England, from Yarmouth, the naval base of the British Isles on the North sea, to the Bristol channel, 240 miles away. The proposed canal would also have a branch to Birmingham, an important commercial city, making it a port for sea-going vessels. This section, which would connect with the main canal at Oxford, would be 60 miles long. Engineer Botterill declares the main idea of the canal to be commerce, but, of course, the naval defense England has expected to make for herself in the European war that always threatens comes up for consideration; With this idea in view Mr. Botterill would provide a fortifad, a few miles from Yarmouth, where 40 Dreadnand there would be 400 acres of safe water.

The price capped at $1,000,000. This last time Jesse sold short in cotton and also wheat, in both of which the "wheat king" of Chicago, James A. Patten, has been operating.

AUTHORITY ON BUGS Miss Evelyn Mitchell of East Orange, Known in Europe and America as an Expert on Life of Insect World. Washington.—Miss Evelyn Mitchell, one of the youngest women scientists in the United States, who is now doing important work for the government at the Smithsonian Institution, is preparing to write a book on gnats. Miss Mitchell has already attracted the attention of the scientific world both in America and Europe by a notable work on mosquitoes entitled, "Mosquito Life," and is concluding her collection of gnats for the purpose of studying in book form her study of them. Miss Mitchell, who is under thirty and one of the brightest women now doing expert work for the government, is the daughter of Marcus Mitchell, postmaster of East Orange, N. J., and is a graduate of Cornell university. She looks less like a scientist than could be imagined by any one who has always pictured experts of this kind as old and decidedly peculiar in dress and in personality. Miss Mitchell is full of life and enjoys sports that every college girl here she sits side by side who have spent years of a long life in scientific research. The spectacle of a man not yet out of her twenties doing remarkable work for the government is rather unusual even at the capital, where women are engaged in many and varied branches of work. Miss Mitchell came here in 1904, and has since been engaged in scientific work. Previous to that she had had wide experience in the field following her course of study at Cornell. The circumstances under which Miss Mitchell obtained her education at the big college in Hawaii and the determination with which she pursued her interest in insect life are more than ordinarily in terresting. When Miss Mitchell was a small youngster playing about her parents home in East Orange, she manifested a keen interest in everything that crawled or flew. She brought some thing more than discomfort into the household when she introduced all sorts of things, from spiders to bats and took delight in watching her cap tives. When she was ten years old she was sent to school, and shortly afterwards she came across a book entitled "Twelve Spiders." by Burt Green University professor of physiology at Cornell University. This was the first infiltration she had that bugs and beetles and such things were ever made a life study, and during the remaining years of her schooling in East Orange she nursed the hope that one day she could find Mr. Wilbu and study all about his "Ten Thou sand Spiders" with him. Preparations had been completed by her father for her entrance to Cornell university, when reverses came and it looked as if the young nature student would have to give up her ambition. She thought it out awhile and then took French leave of her family, going to Philadelphia, where she asked John B. Stetson to lend her the money, to beset, for her first year in college. These were forthcoming. Miss Mitchell to college, and after her first year she went her way through, paid back the money to Mr. Stetson and was appointed an instructor in field zoology at the Cornell summer camp. It was about this time that Dr. J. W. Dupree, surgeon general of Louisiana, sent to Cornell for a "first-class man" to be sent to the Louisiana State university as field and laboratory assistant in mosquito work. Miss Mitchell was selected as the "man," and she made good. From Baton Rouge, La., Miss Mitchell was in Huntington and began her work for the government at the National museum. She was the first woman to be given a place on the faculty of George Washington university, when she was made instructor in zoology. She is a member of the Biological Society of Washington, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Entomological Society of America and the National Health league. When she came to Washington Miss Mitchell and still holds the place at the National Museum. Vaney by the death of Dr. McCounsor who for years made the drawings of shells for Dr. William H.

In Washington there are more Negroes than can be employed, and many of them become vicious because they are forced. to idleness. What is true of Washing- ton is also true of many other cities.” It continues thus: “Secretary Wilson states that labor leaders have recently complained that. more than 2,000,000 men are idle in the large cities. ‘These 2,000,090 men and the families they represent haye to be fed.

But, occasionally, facts come to light that show that the Afro-Ameri- ‘can does not fail to pay a considerable portion of the expense of supporting the public schools. ‘The following facts are gleaned from the recently published report of the State Superintendent of the state of South Carolina: ee A No. of pupils en- rolled ....... 146,647 172,167 No. of school houses ...... 2,679 2,869 No, of teachers. 3,810 2,626 No. of weeks taught w...66. 284 14.6 Average salary. $289.00 $98.00 ‘Total expense.$1,321,020.45 $274,958.91 ‘Total, includ- ing colleges. 1,699,574.13 283,838.91 During the year the Afro-American paid a total of $306,828.37—nearly $23,000 more than the amount expend- ed upon his schools. He received 14 per cent and his white brother 86 per cent of the amount expended for ed: ucational purposes. Thus it is shown from official re- ports that the white taxpayers of Senator Tillman's state does not pay one single cent for the education of the Afro-American. (A SENSIBLE SOUTHERN VIEW. | So many of the utterances of our Southern brethren seem to be mere ebulitions of a passion which is sup- posed to be very heroic, that it is really refreshing to come across an article from a Southern newspaper that takes a reasonable and sensible view of things. ‘We quote such an article in part from the Florida Times-Union in ref- erence to a resolution to disfranchise the Afro-American, recently adopted by the Florida Senate: Do the gentlemen who are discuss- ing this question not know that the South gained fifteen Representatives in Congress and fifteen electoral votes by the enfranchisement of the Ne- groes, and that we would lose more than that number now if they were disfranchised? Before the Negroes became voters the South had only three-fifths representation on the Ne- gro population—that is to say, the representation of the 9,000,000 Ne- groes would now be cut to 5,000,000. we would lose the. representation of 3,000,000 people—that is to say, nine- teen Representatives in Congress and nineteen votes in the Electoral Col- lege. No force bill would be neces- sary to accomplish this. It would be accomplished by a return to condi- tions that prevailed before the Negro was enfranchised. Unfortunately, the South is ruled by two-by-four demagogues who are sent to the legislatures and who are im- pervious tor any such thing as com- mon sense. The articles of agreement for a match for the heavyweight champion. ship of the world were signed by Jack Johnson and Sam Berger, represent: ing J. J. Jeffries, at Chicago on last ‘Wednesday, but that is no sign there will ever be a fight. Jack Johnson agreed to every demand made by Ber- ser excent the size of the side bet. If Johnson proves to be as easy in the ring as he is outside of it, Jeffries has nothing to fear. We are inclined to think that Jack Johnson ought to have a guardian appointed to take charge of him. Senator Bacon makes. two state- ments which to THE APPEAL seem contradictory. First he says that the Afro-Americans of Georgia have ac- cumulated $27,000,000 of taxable prop- erty; and next he states that the ex. Pense of the schools for their chil- dren is borne almost exclusively by the whites. Does he mean to assert that that $27,000,000 of taxable prop- erty pays no tax? THE APPEAL conjectures that it pays pretty much as the other property of the state does? | Our Southern brethren do not seem to realize the fact that every move they make to down the Afro-American results in one of two things: elther to ineite the sufferer to do more for him. self or to raise him up friends in the North and_even in the South, The Business League, which meets in Louisville, Ky., next Monday, will, doubtless, bring together the largest number of business men and women that have attended any of its meet ings since its organization.

She bolted the door, and crossed to a window, with every fiber tingling. Before shé broke the seal she pressed the familiarly addressed envelope repeatedly to her lips, with Uttle joyous ineatches of her breath. “My Darling: Since leaving you I have come to the inevitable con clusion that life for us, apart, 1s too horrible a thing even to contemplate. I cannot see, but your faces inter ‘poses; I cannot hear without listen ing to your Voice above the clamor of all others; I cannot sleep, but my pillow is haunted by dreams of you. If I go on Uke this much longer 1 shall be wild. Your words of love, dear, are still ringing in my ears; it seems so won derful, and yet'so natural, too, that this great blessinis really mine: The Possession of your great, beautiful heart. Does that sound ‘foolish to you? Nevertheless, unice, it 1s true And with your own sweet lips you have given me the right to say it— and to speak the truth at last. Next week I am going away for ever. It must be elther one of two things: You love me well enough to sacrifice all and go with me, or life would be too drab and bitter a thing to be endured where you are, and not all mine. I shall be at the tryst this after noon at six. If possible, come to me; there are many things I would say which can never be adequately ex pressed on paper. With untold devo tion. Always, RANDALL” Mrs. Relssinger smiled happily as she reread the letter. Her love was hier law, and there seemed nothing lacking ‘to complete her life from now on. How had she ever endured Hi ffi —3 i = lI77) ey i Wf V7] Hy; Hot fe WS HI) SD My i Mi Tih fl | fi cS ZL AN S SN [2 Clung to His Arm in an Agony of En- the past four years, as Raymond Reis- singer's wife? ‘The bare thought of having to spend another under his Toot was torture; she would sooner put an end to her own existence. But now! As Randall Hudson's idol, thousands of miles away from all the old, wretched associations and duties, heaven itself could not be fairer, she told herself. ‘The chiming of the town bell re- minded her that she had but an hour in which to get her answer back to her lover, and with a tumultuous heart she sat down at her writing desk and drew up paper, pen and ink. For a minute she sat lost in deep thought, musing how best to express in a few words the torrent of emo- tion that held her. At last she began: “Dear: Your letter has made me happier than anything has ever done before. It is, indeed, as you say: There 1s no life for us now, apart. T shall be at the tryst at six. Your own, EUNICE.” ‘As soon as she had stamped and ai- rected the letter Mrs, Relssinger ‘caught up her hat, and, pinning it on quickly, ran downstairs, and out to the mail-box, dropping it in herselt. Then she walked leisurely back to- ward ‘the, gate, calming her riotous feelings by an effort. No one must see the light that was in her eyes, the lumjnous joy that animated every move and gesture! ‘At the front door she met a mes- senger boy. She took the paper from his hand and tore it open petulantly: Raymond had. such a stupid way of waiting till he, got to the office, then writing ‘her Hresome notes about something he had forgotten. But even as the thought passed through her mind her cheeks paled and the light died from her eyes, leaving them | wide and startled. “My Dear Mrs. Relssinger: 1 was called an hout ago to prescribe for your husband, |who seemed to be suf- fering from aj slight attack from in- digestion. But he has suddenly grown alarmingly wotse, and I fear a stroke of paralysis. Please have a room pre. pared at once; he will be brought home as soon as the ambulance ar- rives, Hastily, BURTON.” Her husbang—aying! She put out ‘one hand to the door to keep from reeling. For an instant the world swam before her in a blood-red mist. It was retribution, swift and sure. The word beat into her brain with sickening persistence. It was -sev- eral seconds before she could move or speak. At last she nodded to the boy who stood waiting, and, crushing the note into her bosom, staggered dazedly into the house. She had just strength left to push a bell, and it was answered immediately by her maid. “Mr. Ressinger is very ill, Valerie; have Petérs see to his room at. once, and. st on your hat as quickly as possible and go to the postofiice. ‘A lette} was mailed to Mr. Randall Hi 296 eat ig atront) by by ‘You wve to get it; there fiJl be papers to sign, and 50 on; but don't come back without it. Now hurry! The maid permitted herself a mo- mentary stare of bewilderment; then with the tact of a well-trained ser vant she bowed and’ disappeared. Half an hour later they brought Raymond Reisinger home in an un. conscious condition. Mrs. Reissinger met the doctor in the corridor, and clung to his arm in an agony of entreaty. “You think there's ‘no chance, none?” she cried, through ashen lips. The blood had settled like indigo about her great, Dlack eyes, and every muscle of her face was twitching. “Y'm afraid there's little hope, Mrs. Relssinger. Reisinger has always been subject to these attacks, and I long ago predicted what has happened. He knew it himself, and his affairs have been kept in shape for an emergency. He would not distress you by men- tioning—”" At this juncture Mrs. Reisinger swooned, and had to be carried to her Toom. It was hours before she re- vived. Her first question was of her husband. His condition was prac. tleally unchanged; he might Inger for days, or he might go at any mo ment, leaving her—tfree! ‘When she could gather strength to raise herself on her pillow Mrs. Reis. singer reached over to a table near and secured a pencil and sheet of paper. Her hand shook so she could scarcely write, but this is what she finally managed to scrawl: “Your insolence is beyond compre hension. My husband is a good, kind man, who has devoted his life to my happiness, and today he is dying. You have insulted me beyond pardon, and T hope that I shall never look ‘upon your cowardly face again.” ‘When Valerie came in Mra. Reis singer called for an envelope, intc which she slipped the piece of paper and addressed it to Randall Hudson. ‘The sudden entrance of the physician caused her to thrust it quickly under the cover and close her eyes. When he bent over to listen to the beating of her heart she stirred and looked up. Dr. Burton heaved a sigh of reliet. “You're all right,” he sald. “I was be ginning to think perhaps we were go. ing to have a slege of another sort in this house. I've good news for you Madam.” Mrs. Reisinger looked up with dl. lating eyes. “You mean?” “Exactly; your husband will get well. Much to my surprise, he be came rational an hour ago. He 1s improving rapidly, and if we're care ful we'll have him out of here in a week.” She took a deep breath, and for s long time lay with folded hands, white as wax against the not less white coverlet, Her lids had droped, . as though in sleep, and thé doctor stole noiselessly from the room. As soor as he had gone Mrs. Relssinge: touched the bell at the head of he: bed. Valerie appeared instantly. “That letter—did you get it from the postoffice?” “Yes ma'am. Here it is.” The matc reached into her pocket and pro duced the missive, ‘The other woman opened {t with eager fingers and scanned the lines hurriedly. A little smile filttea over her wan face, and her lips parte tremulously. She felt under the shee and drew forth the last letter she had written, and tore it into fine bits ‘Then she slipped the first one inte the envelope that was already di rected, and gave it back to Valerie. “Take it back to the postofice a once,” she said. “I was under the im pression that I had made a mistake— but I haven't.” When the maid had gone she left her bed and crossed the room to the telephone. She rang up Randall Hud son's number, and he answered him self. Without calling any names she sata: “You will get my letter this after noon. It will be impossible for me to Keep the appointment, but come t me tonight—here.” ‘Then she hung up the receiver anc crept back to bed. She covered her face with the sheet and sobbed hy tanta * Signs of the Times. A California woman plays polo and says that it is nobody's business what she wears while so doing.

THE GRAND OPERA HOUSE. The Grand Opera House is a very busy spot nowadays with the preparation being made for the opening of the fall season, which will occur Sunday afternoon, August 29th, presently the performance of Litt & Dingwall's performances success," I tucky" the cleaning of a theatre like the Grand preparatory to the opening of the season involves a deal of labor and takes considerable time, as every part of the auditorium from pit to朵 must needs be thoroughly unwanted. A vast cleaning force has been built in the building with their powerful equipment every part of the immense building. An army of cleaners are preparing the floors for painting, all the electric light globes of the building are changed. draperies dry cleaned; in fact everything will be done possible in the space where the opening bright, spic, span and cleaned as can be. "In Old Kentucky," the opening play, has built up a tremendous vogue for itself throughout the entire United States, and although it has now reached a new height, it is as fresh and enjoyable as anything that is offered doing the theatrical season. The well remembered "pickannies" brass band, the feature par excellence of Old Kentrage, is the same ensemble are stirring incidents and dramatic moments, breezy humor and a mine of good things in this grand old play. The company is always of a high grade character and a sumptuous production indeed. Among the attractions that will be seen at the Grand this season are: "Babes in Toyland," "The Bishop's Carriage," "Sal, the Circus Girl," Cole & Johnson in "The Red Moon," "The Question," "Stuartkast," "Checkers" number one, and best plays that have not heretofore been seen in popular price houses. 14 MRS.

The APPEAL has just received a copy of The Western Messenger, published at Macon, Mo., bearing date of July 22. It contains an extended biographical sketch of, and in news-room rules being mourned (its column rules being named page) for John Calvin McMahan, who departed this life at Fulton, Mo., July 17, aged 75 years. The deceased was the father of Mrs. W. D. Carter, who returned last week from attending his funeral. Mr. Carter was one of the leading men of his time and locality. He married Miss Anna Brown, of Concord, Mo., and lived 58 years in the married state. To the couple 10 children were born and the wife and 5 children survive him.

A private library of quite unique character is composed solely of 600 wooden books. The collection has been made from the wood of different trees growing in the park attached to the chateau of Wilhelmshöhe. At the back of each book is a tablet in red morocco indicating the name of the tree from which the volume has been made, and the two covers are lightly polished. Inside the book the complete natural history of the tree is detailed. The collection, which is at Cassel, includes 120 specimens and 445 varieties. Woman Who Kept Her Vow. Mrs. Heywood, who has died at Leilgh, near Northwich, England, at the age of 85, never rode in a railway train. When the North-Western line between Crewe and the North was opened she, with others awaited the passing of the first train through Acton, the first impressions were such that she rowed she would never travel by train, and she kept her word. Where Voter Must Vote Austria has passed a law by which its citizens not only receive a vote, but are compelled unlawfully to use it. About 40,000 are to be up and fined for neglecting their duty. This is a revival of the exquisite simplicity of the Athenian legislators, who literarily roamed in the city. zens with a reddened rope. The man who had a red mark was fined. Suggested Nobel Prizes The Nobel prizes were suggested by the eighth earl of Bridgewater, son of the bishop of Durham. He left $40,000 to be paid to the author of the best trestice on "The power, wisdom and goodness of God as manifested in the creation." The judges divided the money among eight persons. "I am busy," declared the hack writer. "What at?" "Fixing up the Roosevelt anecdotes to fit Taft." Usage of Language. "And, speaking of politics, the con- sence seems to have narrowed down to Taft." "Narrowed down? Widened out, row megal!" How the Foundling of the Leadville Mining Camp Was Celebrated "On the first day of the present month I was a guest-of one of the most remarkable dinners ever given," remarked Judge A. W. Rucker, the brand new congressman from Denver. "This banquet was held 1,000 feet below the surface of the earth, in the chamber of a mine on the outskirts of Leadville. The chamber, which had been transformed into a magnificent dining room, was about forty feet wide by seventy feet long, and had a lofty roof. A kitchen had been improvised and a clever chef got up a dinner for 300 people that none of the swell hotels of New York would have repudiated. The guests were nearly the same, that is to say, ploneers in the old days of 1879, when Leadville's fame as a great producer of the precious metals attracted the attention of the world. "The feast was given in commemoration of the birth of the mining camp, and those who made merry were the adventurous souls who figured then. "On the day of the function we rode to the mouth of the tunnel, where we made our descent into the bowels of the earth through a fierce blizzard—one of the worst I ever saw in the West. Getting in the big cage that took us down the shaft to this queer banquet hall far below Leadville and the surrounding towns, we landed in a brilliantly lighted room that was as inviting and serene as a tropical isle. The contrast between it and the storm through which the party had come was curious in the extreme, but it added greatly to the joyousness of the occasion." A Hogarthian Inn Sign. One of the most humorous inn signs is "The Man Loaded With Mischel", which is found about a mile from Cambridge, on the Madingley road. The original "Mischel" was designed by Hogarth for a public house in Oxford street. It is needless to say that the signage is needless even the name, have long ago disappeared from the name, have long London thoroughfare, but the busy London service must have been extensively copied by country sign painters. There is "Mischel" at Wallingford and the "Load of Mischel" at Norwich. The inn on the Madingley road exhibits the sign in its original form. Though the colors are much faded from exposure to the weather, traces of Hogarthian humor can be detected. A man is staggering under the weight of a woman, who is on his back. She is holding a glass of gin in her hand; a chain around her wrist; the man's neck, labeled "Wedlock". The right hand side is the shop of "S Gripe, Pawnbroker", and a carpenter is just going to pledge his tools. COLORADO WOMEN PROTEST. They Don't Like the Failure of a Law Affecting Women Wage Earners. The club women of Colorado are up in arms. For years there has been a law in Colorado prohibiting women from working in factories and shops more than eight hours a day, or more than forty-eight hours a week. Recently this law has been declared unconstitutional. The women of Colorado are reported to be more stirred up over it than anything that has happened since they received the ballot. A local paper published a cartoon showing the supreme court handing this decision to her husband, landlord, while her and holding her hand loomed a tall, resolute looking woman, labeled "Woman's Clubs," saying to the court: "This un-American act of yours has done more for the woman wage earner than all the organization and legislation could have done in years." Another paper reports a club woman as saying of the judge who handed down the decision: "Oh, Judge Blank! Well, you know he always had a spine like jelly—jelly that wouldn't jell." AT THE WEIGHING MACHINES. Woman With a Heavy Box Supplies a Navy Seal, or the Sailor people of practices of scales. People of people weigh themselves on the penny-in-the-slot machines found widely distributed in public places, but never before had this man, anyway, seen anybody weigh on one of them anything but himself or herself, as this weigher, a woman, did in a subway station. She came in carrying in one hand a muff and in the other a box of polished oak that was narrow and proportionately high and maybe a foot in length. That the box was heavy was shown by the fact that the leather handle had been stretched somewhat by its weight. And apparently its present carrier had found it heavy and was curious about its weight, for now she set the box on the platform of one of those weighing machines and dropped a penny in the weighted ten pounds—certainly a heavy box too. That was all she wanted to know—didn't weigh herself; she just picked the box up again, this time with a smile, and went aboard the train. MINNEAPOLIS DOINGS IN AND ABOUT THE GREAT "FLOUR CITY."

Kansas City, Mo.—During the annual session of the American Institute of Homeopathy, held in this city a year ago, Dr. William Davis Foster of Kansas City was elected president of the institute for the following year. To show his appreciation of his election Dr. Foster had made a gavel which he presented to the institute. A year was required for Dr. Foster to get together the material of which it is made. The gavel is made of 77 pieces of wood, a piece from every state ```markdown ``` Gavel Which Contains 77 Pieces of Wood. and territory in the United States and from Germany and France. There are pieces from the houses or the possessions of all of the ploneers of homeopathy. Each piece in the gavel is numbered. In a bound volume, called the "Gavel Book," is contained all the correspondence bearing upon the gathering of the material of which the gavel is made. The varieties of wood used include mahogany, white pine, ebony, black walnut, rosewood, sequoia gigantea, vegetable ivory, surrender oak, Arizona ironwood, redwood, a bit from an Indian medicine man's tomahawk from Alaska, orange wood, diamond willow, fir, petrified wood, yellow cedar, cherry and yellow pine. Each piece is numbered with a small gilt number. In the "Gavel Book" under a corresponding number is a short biographical sketch of the person of whom the piece is a souvenir. The ends of the gavel are gold. One end is engraved with "Simila Similibut Curentur." Upon the others is engraved "Presented to the American Institute of Homeopathy by William Davis Foster, M. D., President 1900." The handle is ebony tipped with ivory. MENTIONED FOR THE CABINET Washington Rumor Says Congressman Scott of Kansas May Succeed Secretary Wilson. Washington.—There is a revival in Washington of the gossip that Secretary Wilson will retire from the de Congressman C. F. Scott. partment of agriculture in December and that Representative Scott of Kansas will succeed hihm. Several prominent papers have printed stories to that effect. It was said at the White House that the matter had not been considered there, and Representative Scott said that the president had never mentioned the subject to him. Secretary Wilson has held the place under three presidents—McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft—and holds the record for cabinet service. Charles F. Scott represents the Second Kansas district, is chairman of the committee on agriculture, and is serving his fifth term in congress. Two of his terms were as congressman-at-large. He was born in Kansas, lives in Iola and is editor and owner of the Iola Register. Broke His Spirit "Boo-hoo!" sobbed little Jimmy, "it don't pay to be patriotic these times."
