The North Fork Coal and Iron Company is a Negrocorporation that has recently been organized at Lexington, Kentucky. Several hundred acres of iron and coal lands have been secured in the eastern part of the state. Preparations are now being made for developing the company's property. James Leach, of Passaic, New Jersey, has just invited an improvement on the phonograph which is said to havenetted him a fortune. He is an expert mechanic and had been employed in a handkerchief mill in Passaic. Mr. Leach believed he could improve the tone of the phonograph and set to work making experiments. The Edison Company heard of his efforts and invited him to their works where he successfully demonstrated the feasibility of his new idea. The company was so impressed with the commical value of Leach's invention that it is said they gave him $62,000 for it. He is very fortunate to make money out of his invention for it is usdally the rule that the man who invents does not get financial profit from his invention. Mr. Edison, himself is a rare ex- --- Church, Wichita, Kansas of the Kansas Conferenceception to this for he has alway been wise enough to obtain enough stock in the companies that manufactured his invention to make rich. Edward Mahone, a wraduate from the Agricultural Department of Tuskegee Institute and who is nom assistant farm director at Clark University, Atlanta, Georgia, was recently granted a patent and he is now at work upon a third one to improve tarm machinery. Arthur McCauley of Phoenix, Michigan, who is employed as a porter in a bank of that town, has just received letters of patent on a perfected floor oiler and waxer McCauley has been working on this for ten months during which time he constructed two models. Murray G. Haskell, cashier of the bank, became interested in his invention and defrayed the expenses connected with perfecting model and securing the patent. Stephen Bundy of New York City after twenty-seven years of service as a railroad porter on the New York Central Lines has retired. During his employment he saved his money and purchased property in Philadelphia, Jersey City and New York City. It is estimated that his real estate holdings are now worth $140,000.00. Within the past five years the Negroes of Macon County, Ala. have raised in cash $20,000,00 toward building school-houses and extending school terms. Aside from Texas, Arkansas is the only Southern state whose increase of population during the past ten years was over twenty per cent. The Negroes of Arkansas are making progress in proportion to the whites. They are paying taxes on about $20,000,000.00 worth of property. According to the last report of the Auditor of the state they are paying annually $400; 000.00 into the state treasury as direct taxes.

Baldwin, a wealthy white capitalist of Dayton, Ohio has recently established in that city factories where Negroes are employed in which are manufactured carpets, overalls and brooms. There is also a laundry with the very latest improved machinery. Those who are employed live in houses built by Mr. Baldwin. The houses are altered or constructed to suit the ideas of tenants. Mr. Baldwin, is not dispensing charity, but simply giving Negroes an opportunity. At Richmond Vinginja, recently, for the first time in in the history of the country a state law library was closed in in memory of a Negro. This was done in respect to the memory of Mr. Edward Brown, the colored assistant librarian, The Bar Association of the City of Ricmond met and past resolutions of respect to the memory of Mr. Brown. He had assistant librarian forty years and was one of the best informed men in the state on legal matters. When ever any lawyers wished to get information on an extremely knotty point in law be always consulted Mr. Brown who could at once refer him to the desired reference. A great many leading lawyers of Virginia owe the winig of some of their first case to the suggestions that were giving them by Mr. Brown.

Sealing does not consist only of hurried scrambling over ice, and fierce breathless battling afterwards. There are many hardships to endure. The most common type of Arctic weather is a dense, lung clogging fog, with a rasp of cold that is enough to freeze a glowing furnace. This fog may be diversified with cruel blizzards of petting snow, borne on the wings of the constant gales. Once the snow passes come sleet and rain—rain that is as cold as ice. Misery prevails greatly among the crews of Arctic sealers, for the damnness and the cold soon sap the stoutest constitutions. Bobby's Unfortunate Delay. He was five years old. On this particular day mother had dressed him with unusual care and was very much displeased to have him come in with clothing dirty and torn. She had so often told him he must take his own part in the boys' scraps—fight, should the occasion demand it. This he would not do. And now she intended to punish him. Bob became very indignant and said: "Well, mamma, I just told the boy I wasn't ready to fight, and when I got ready he was settin' on me."—Delineator. When Tower Loomed. It was while Charlemange Tower was ambassador to Russia that a New York city newspaper "spread itself upon a fete held at St. Petersburg. A green copy-reader produced this result: "As pleasing to the eye as was all this decoration there was additional pleasure in the sight, as one stood at the head of the Prospekt Newska, of Charlemagne Tower, brilliantly illuminated, looming grand and imposing against the winter sky."—Success Magazine. COUNTRY OF CONTINUAL UNREST ONDURAS, in the light of recent developments, is playing the same game as did Nicaragua, and it is expected here that the firm hand of the United States will be felt in north Central American republic. Too many American interests are at stake to let the threats of Spanish rulers go unheeded, say Managua officials. One by one as these troubles arise throughout Central America it is the intention of President Taft and his subordinates to force a lasting peace. N It hasn't been long since United States Minister Merry was chased through the streets of Managua by the soldiers of President Zelaya, but conditions in these three years have wonderfully changed. Perhaps no man saw farther into the future of these Latin-American Republics than did Minister Merry. A sea captain on a Pacific Mail liner, he became a student of the native and his country. He probably DRYING COFFEE knew better than any other diplomatic official that, left alone, they would never cease fighting. As the result of his work in the service, the United States has virtually established a protectorate over Nicaragua. At all times an American warship is within four hours' call by the wireless. An American postage stamp is as good in Nicaragua as it is in Louisiana. Mall for the United States goes through the American consulates and is carried in sealed sacks to New Orleans and Mobile, or to a port on the Pacific coast in another. It is not handled by natives. There is no opening of mail addressed to the subjects of the United States these days, as was common in the past. That is one result of Minister Merry's work and today he is in the diplomatic service in Costa Rica, watching his labor bear fruit. President Estrada is a good fellow as Nicaraguans go—but he couldn't last twenty minutes as the head of a people who love to fight, if the United States department at Washington wasn't holding his hand over the rough places. They are going to send a commission down there in a short time to straighten out affairs and conduct the first honest election the country ever had. Then J. P. Morgan & Co. will handle the refunding of the $20,000,000 bonded debt. By that time the United States will be well in charge, probably with Consul Moffat as minister and real head of the government. Just as rapidly as possible Nicaragua is being made a good place in which to live. American capitalists and investors are crowding into the country with rapidity. Now that the days of the revolution are ended—the machine made an implement of agriculture instead of war—the future of the little republic looms bright. Mines are being developed, forests cleared, lagoons drained and homes built. Men from the north and middle western states are causing the hustle. There are business "The beginnings of the troubles that wreck Nicaragua at frequent intervals lie back to its discovery by Columbus. A small remnant of Indians has recently been found living on an island near Bluefields, speaking the language of the Aztecs and having traditions of ruling in splendid cities over the subject tribes of the coast. These cities, of which great ruins remain, at once attracted the Spaniards to the interior, so that from Panama to Yucatan not an important Spanish settlement was formed on the Caribbean coast, and thus the coast tribes, freed from Aztec domination, remained almost unknown to the Spaniards, having no property worth looting. Loot was plenty among the buccaneers, but fresh food and women they lacked. These the Indians supplied. Commercial relations soon grew up, which speedily developed into an alliance against the Spaniards, by means of which the Indians maintained their independence, until their chief was carried, in 1688, with great pomp, to Jamaica, where he surrendered his authority to the duke of Albermarle, and was then crowned and received back his insignia as a vassal king, under a British protectorate, of all the coast from Chiviqi lagoon to Yucatan, along what is known as the Mosquito coast. Subject to occasional clashes with the Span-ards, matters went on thus for a century, each successive Mosquito king going to Jamaica for investure and to do homage. Finally, in 1783, by the peace of Paris, England specifically abandoned its protectorate over all of the Mosquito coast, except for the part HON. WILLIAM L. MERRY A man stands under a large banana tree in a tropical forest. The tree is massive and has a thick trunk. The leaves are large and green. The man is wearing a shirt and pants. He is holding a camera and looking at the tree. The background is a dense forest with many trees and foliage. men from St. Louis, Kansas City and Chicago and men from numerous smaller cities who are interested financially in agriculture and mining work in Nicaragua. Many are already realizing on their investments. Along the Río Grande river there is a wide stretch of territory covered with bamboo, some of which is planted in bananas. Shipments of bananas were taken out of that section for the first time a few weeks ago by the Pan-American company, a Kansas City and St. Louis concern. There are half a dozen small companies beginning operations and within six months fully 200,000 or 300,000 acres of bananas will have been planted along that river, which is said to be the best for the culture of this particular fruit of any in the republic. The bananas—about 3,000 bunches—shipped lately were the finest taken into the port of New Orleans. now known as Belize, or British Honduras, which then became and still remains a British colony. However, it was only 14 years before the French revolutionary turmoil again brought war between Spain and England. In the course of this, the protectorate was revived, so that, in spite of Spain's becoming later the ally of England against Napoleon, the three succeeding Mosquito kings of the first half of the nineteenth century were crowned as of old in Jamaica or Belize, and did homage for their kingdom, the last in 1847. In 1821, after a long struggle, all Central American broke away from Spain, and offered to join the United States as five states, an offer which was at once refused, as the population was not considered sufficient in number to justify ten seats in our senate, nor sufficiently advanced otherwise to be a desirable element. The refusal stirred up bad blood against the English-speaking peoples and a dispute with England over the protectorate. By the Clayton-Bulwer treaty of 1850, both England and the United States bound themselves not to seek exclusive rights in any part of Central America. Again the protectorate made trouble, and London and Washington agreed on a treaty by which the Mosquito coast was to be protected by treaty with the Central American states interested, but these refused the suggested terms, and, finally, in 1800, Great Britain concluded separate treaties with Honduras and Nicaragua, by which to the first she surrendered absolutely all authority over the almost uninhabitable portion MUNICIPAL CENTRAL DE MAYORAL MADRID 2 A NICARAGUAN FAMILY of the coast claimed by Honduras, while to Nicaragua she agreed to surrender her protectorate and recognize the sovereignty of Nicaragua. After 19 years less than half of the subsidy had been paid, while in violation of the treaty Nicaragua had imposed duties at Greytown under the pretext that they were to pay the subsidy, and had introduced a governor and a garrison at Bluefields, the Mosquito king's capital, and was otherwise vexing the inhabitants so as to force them to abandon the English language and their local self-government. Finally, after most insolent treatment of the British consul at Greytown, who had been appointed the Mosquito king's agent to receive the arrears, England sent a warship to Greytown. Nicaragua protested that, as the British protectorate had been withdrawn and Nicaragua's sovereignty recognized over the coast, it was none of England's business whether Nicaragua fulfilled the treaty stipulations in favor of the Indians. But the captain of the warship was not moved by this, and after much parley the entire matter was submitted to the arbitration of the emperor of Austria. On two points the Nicaraguan contentions were upheld, first, that the subsidy was of --- Mining throughout the country, while being pushed, is not bringing the money returns of fruit. Many men, however, have struck it rich in the mining region. A Canadian by the name of McGinnis, located in the northern part of the Republic and founded the Lone Star mine. Today he is several times over a millionaire. Joe La Pere, a French Canadian, discovered the Bonanza mine from which millions in gold have been taken. The Topaz Mining company is another paying venture. The chief difficulty with the mining is the matter of transportation. While, the earnings of the various mines have proven satisfactory, yet it is in the banana business that the figures presented by American experts prove amazing; they show payment for land, cost of clearing, planting and harvesting at the end of the second year with an additional profit of 60 per cent. on the investment. They are indeed startling, but the men who make them point to the United Fruit company, having started business on a Nicaragua in turn, agreed to grant complete local self-government to the Mosquito tribes, then of blood largely diluted with strains of white and Jamaica negro, and using English as their official language. Nicaragua also bound itself to make a free port of Greytown, at the mouth of the navigable river by which the great central lake of Nicaragua discharges into the Caribbean sea, and for ten years to pay annually to the Mosquito Indians a subsidy of $5,000. shoestring, so to speak, a few years ago, and being worth a few dozen millions today. They have tried rubber and made a failure, cocoanut plantations bring forth fruit slowly, pineapples grow large, as do grape fruit and oranges, but they ripen so quickly and the import duty is so heavy that exportation under present conditions is hardly to be considered. Rice does fairly well, while coffee on the west coast reaches a high grade of perfection. The coffee, diplomatic and other officials assert, is the finest in the world. The chief trouble on the east coast is finding a hillside level enough to stand on and cultivate the product. The labor question in Nicaragua has the servant girl issue in the United States beaten a nautical mile. One man will tell you he has no trouble in getting labor. If he means real work there is plenty to be done, but from the standpoint of the employer, the task is no easy one. Money means nothing to the average native. One plantation manager told a correspondent he had 60 men working for him and that he transacted business on 500 sols—monkey money, they call it—a year. This plantation conducts a store, as do the majority. The men are paid in the national currency, which just as steadily comes back into the store, Paying off labor in Nicaragua is much like taking a dollar from one pocket and putting it into another. That's all right, so far as it goes, but when the laborer—generally an Indian or a Jamaican—thinks he has too much to do he quits. He can live without work, and works merely to please his foreman. The foreman who can get the good will of the Indian is the valuable man. The superintendent of a coffee plantation has been trying to get 200 men to work for the last two years. At one time he had 130—and he is a man the natives like, too. The manager of a big banana plantation is having the same trouble. A month or two is frequently spent getting half a hundred men together. Indians stay close to their villages and the hope of the planter is the building of these conglomerations of huts. Give the workers a bamboo covered shed in which to live, build them a church of the same material and secure for them a preacher, even though their morals seem lax, and the natives will probably spend their lives on the plantation—working when they feel so inclined. Now and then they want to wander away and get all the bad whisky they can buy, but they return in time to again take up the machete. Good treatment appears to be the only secret if there be any secret of getting labor in Nicaragua. the nature of a gift, and therefore that interest should not be added to the arrears; and, second, that the -vessels belonging to the Mosquito coast should hoist the Nicaraguan flag, though against Nicaragua's contention they were allowed to hoist their own alongside of it; but on every important point the decision was in favor of England Under this decision settlers began to come in, especially from Canada and Jamaica, and business became quite brisk. Nicaragua failed in another attempt to induce the coast to vote in favor of full citizenship, and matters went on merrily till a few months after Zelaya's rise to the presidency, when, in January, 1894, a Nicaraguan army suddenly appeared at Bluefields, kidnapped and sent to the interior the chief justice and all the leading men of the coast, and in their absence ordered an election, with soldiers at every polling place, to determine finally the status of the coast. In this election there could be only one result, and Nicaragua announced that the coast had accepted full citizenship in Nicaragua, and, therefore, British interference was at an end. For ten years, in spite of occasional attempts at revolution, one nearly successful, matters went on fairly at bluefields and business grew, but in 1904 there began systematic attempts to oppress this coast. As a further vexation of foreigners, the Moravian missionaries and the Church of England rector at Bluefields, who, since the Catholic churches have been harried out of existence, are the only representatives of religion of any kind in all this regen, have had their schools closed because tuition was in English. STATUTES OF OKLAHOMA, KANSAS AND NEBRASKA DECLARED CONSTITUTIONAL. HAS BEEN A LONG FIGHT Stubbs and Dolley Are Pleased.—Governor Declares It Is Step Toward Extension of Guaranty to All Banks in the Country. Washington, D. C.—The Bank guaranty laws of Oklahoma, Nebraska and Kansas were declared constitutional today by the supreme court of the United States, and thus the fight over the policy of guaranteeing deposits in banks, through the state, waws won by the advocates of the law. The opinion of the court was announced by Justice Holmes. He said the main objection to the law was that the assessment of banks by the state in order to create a fund to guarantee the deposits in other banks within the state took private property of one bank to rte private use of another without compensation. Justice Holmes admitted that there might be a taking of private property without return to pay debts of a failing rival in business, but he said there were more powerful considerations on the other side of the question. Topeka, Kan.—Governor W. K. Stubbs said, when told of the bank guaranty decision: "I regard this as one of the big decisions of the United States supreme court and as a decision affecting the history of banking. It is of vast importance. I believe that as a result of the voice of the supreme court heard today in this matter that in a few years every bank in this country will guarantee its deposits. This ought to be the condition. It is in the interest of the public welfare and in the interest of the banks. It is the safer, better, cleaner way. It is in the interest of the entire country. "I say this as a banker, as a citizen and as governor of this state, where the bank guaranty idea was started along with Oklahoma and Nebraska, out sister states." Speaking of the bank guaranty decision, Bank Commissioner Dolley raid: "I am much gratified with the sweeping decision of the United States supreme court regarding the guaranty of bank deposits. We have made wonderful progress with the law. In less than two years from the date of its passage it has been presented in three federal courts and in our own supreme court. I am not surprised at this decision, as I have all along fully expected the principle of guaranty of bank deposits to be vindicated. "The final result of this decision will be that every man, woman and child who places money in any bank in America will receive it back on demand, 100 cents on the dollar. "It is my opinion that this supreme court decision will result in many other western states passing bank guaranty laws during the sessions of their legislatures this winter. I shall be greatly disappointed if the Kansas idea of bank guaranty does not spread rapidly over the entire western country." "In the first place," he said. "it is established by cases that an ulterior public administration might justify a comparatively insignificant taking of private property for what in its immediate purpose is a private use. Zero Weather Widespread Kansas City, Mo.—With temperatures ranging from 11 below at Salina, Kan., to zero in Northern Arkansas, the Southwest today experienced the coldest weather of the winter. The local weather observer promised it would begin to get warmer tonight. At Ardmore, Southern Oklahoma, the weather was the coldest since the establishment of the bureau there ten years ago. In Kansas City and Topeka, where the thermometers registered 10 degrees below zero, much suffering is being caused by an inadequate gas supply. A majority of the houses of these cities are heated by natural gas from the Kansas fields. In Kansas City 4,000 homeless men were fed and sheltered by charitable institutions last night. Among the temperatures reported this morning: Oklahoma City 8 below; Ardmore, Okla., 2 below; Omaha Neb., 14 below; Iowa points from 14 to 16 below. Corey Leaves Steel Trust. New York, N. Y.—William E. Corey, president of the United States Steel corporation, resigned today. His resignation was announced late this afternoon by Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the finance committee of the corporation, to take effect at the pleasure of the directors. He carries with him the best wishes of all connected with the corporation, says the statement issued, and leaves with feelings of loyalty to and friendship for the corporation. TWO AVIATORS MLET DEATH ARCH HOXSEY FELL WITH HIS MACHINE AT LOS ANGELES. John B. Moisant Had Met the Same Fate at New Orleans Earlier in the Day. Los Angeles, California.—Another of those who go up to the clouds in ships is dead. Arch Hoxsey, friend and rival of John B. Moisant, who was killed in New Orleans the same morning, fell to his death from a height of 500 feet. The winds, whose treacheries Hoxsey so often defied and conquered killed the noted aviator. As if jealous of his intrepidity they seized him and his fragile flying machine, flung them down out of the sky and crushed out his life. Hoxsey fell dead upon the field from which he had risen only a short time before with a laughing promise to thousands of cheering spectators to pierce the zenith of the heavens, surpass his own phenomenal altitude records and soar higher than any other man dared go. Cross currents, whirled off by a vagrant storm that floated in from the sea, caught his biplane and shot him downward 500 feet to earth. Catching his faint machine in one of the spectacular spiral glides that are dangerous even in the calmest weather, the warring winds sported with it a moment, juggled it, and then as if suddenly maddened and frenzied hurled it to the ground. New Orleans, Louisiana.—Another pitcher has gone too often to the well. John B. Moisant, the daring American aviator, met the fate that befall his friend, Ralph Johnston, a few weeks ago in Denver, falling to his death from a height of 100 feet. TWO KANSAS BANKS ROBBED Two Jobs in the Same Town Netted the Cracksmen $7,000 at Waterville. Waterville, Kansas.—Four men in a motor car came into this town before daylight, obtained $7,000 in currency by blowing the safes in two banks, exchanged a number of shots with the residents and escaped in the car. The robbers came from the north. The direction they took when they left is not definitely known. They went either east or north. The first bank to suffer was the Citizens Bank of Waterville. The men broke the front door with a pick and crowbars, and blew the door off the safe with two charges of nitroglycerine. They took $3,000 in currency and left a considerable amount of silver which was in the safe. A JAPANESE DENIES RUMORS Ambassador From Japan Says His Country Does Not Covet the Philippines. Washington, D. C.—"Japan does not covet the Philippine islands either as a dependency or as an addition to the empire in any other way. The United States and Japan were never more friendly, and all talk of war is caused by 'sinister influences' in Manila." Baron Yagua Uchida, ambassador from Japan to the United States, this denied the war rumors that have followed the reports that Japanese spies have been active in different ports of the Philippine islands. The Federal Loss Near Casa, Colorado, Reported as 600 While Revolutionists Lost Few. El Paso, Texas.—A dispatch to the Times here from its correspondent in Chihuahua says: "General Luques' relief column has encountered four days' fierce fighting near Casa Colorado and its lost is slight. The column is badly demoralized. Navarro's command is still bottled up near Mal Paso." PERU AND ECUADOR NEAR WAR Suggestion That Boundary Dispute Be Referred to The Hague Tribunal Disregarded. Lima, Peru.—War is imminent between Peru and Ecuador. It is believed here that the latter country will not heed the advice of the United States, Brazil and Argentina to submit the boundary dispute between the countries to The Hague tribunal. The government is preparing for hostilities, and the Ecuadorian authorities are acting similarly. Woman Barred From Office. Green Bay, Wis.—Judge Hastings, in the circuit court, has declared that a woman was not eligible to hold a public office because she was not an elector. Increase in Coal Output Washington, D. C. The production of coal in the United States in 1910 was between 475,000,000 and 485,000,000 short tons, a considerable increase over the output of 453,715,704 short tons in 1909. A Rebellion in Honduras. Puerto Cortez, Honduras. The long expected revolt of the adherents of Manuel Bonilla against the Davila government in Honduras has broken out and a decisive battle is expected in the streets of this city. ANOTHER AIRSHIP ACCIDENT FROX CHICAGO EVERING POST UNCLE SAM IS A BANKER NOW UNCLE SAM IS A BANKER NOW POSTAL SAVINGS INSTITUTIONS OPENED IN EACH STATE. List of the Cities Where the Experiment is Being Tried—Depositors Receiving 2 Per Cent. Washington, D. C.-Uncle Sam became a full-fledged banker when an experimental postal savings bank was opened in every state and territor, in the Union, in accordance with the postal savings bank bill passed at the second session of the Sixty-first congress. The postoffices designated to accept deposits are all of the second class, and are located in communities where the laboring element of the population is large.

Duvall Tells War Department No Wireless Stations or Explosives Were Found in Philippines. Washington, D. C. — Major General Duvall, commanding the division of the Philippines, has cabled the war department an unqualified denial of the published reports that a wireless telegraph station, built and operated by Japanese had been discovered in the Philippines and that quantities of arms, ammunition and explosives had been found illegally in the possession of Japanese. The general denial was forthcoming in answer to an inquiry from the war department. To Muzzle Dogs for Year. Boone, Iowa.—Mayor Wilder of this city has ordered that all dogs in the city be muzzled for a period of one year from this date. This unusual order is the result of the death from raies of a four-year-old child and the injury of nearly a dozen citizens by being bitten by mad dogs within the past few months. Big Trust Cases Soon. Washington, D. C.—Prosecutions by the government, designed to accomplish the dissolution of "Standard Oil" and of the American Tobacco organizations, will be taken up for the second time by the supreme court of the United States at the beginning of its work for the new year. Less Beer Used In Germany. Berlin, Germany.—The consumption of beer in Germany, according to official statistics, is decreasing rapidly. During 1909 the consumption diminished approximately by 65,000 gallons, or one gallon per head of the population. Lower Express Rates in Iowa. Des Moines, Iowa.—The Iowa railroad commission ordered a reduction of from five to 20 cents a 100 pounds in maximum express rates for intra-state shiments. Legislatures Will Elect in 33 States—Net Loss to Republicans Will Be Eight. Washington, D. C.—The most important stated political event of 1911 will be the election of United States senators by the various state legislatures to complete the upper house of the Sixty-second congress. The new senate will be composed of 51 Republicans and 41 Democrats, as against 59 Republicans and 33 Democrats in the last congress—a net gain of eight seats for the Democrats. In the house, according to the returns of the election of November 8, the Democrats will have a majority of 65. Of 30 senators whose terms will expire on March 3 next 24 are Republicans and six Democrats, and the various state legislatures elected on November 8 last will choose their successors. There will also be senators chosen to fill the vacancies caused by the death of Senator Donver of Iowa (Republican), Senator Thompson of North Dakota (Democrat) and Senator Clay of Georgie (Democrat), making a total of 33 to be elected. Of the 33, 17 will be Republicans and 16 Democrats, representing a gain of nine seats for the Democrats and one for the Republicans. FOLLOWED NEW YEAR'S CUSTOM Washington Society Spent the Day Attending the Various Re- Washington, D. C. Washington society went on its annual reception spree and flocked from house to house wishing a happy New Year everywhere it paused for even an instant. The most striking features of the day were the White house reception and the diplomatic breakfast given by Secretary of State and Mrs. Knox. Besides these functions the ladies of the cabinet, Mrs. Sherman and the wives of the justice of the supreme court also held open house. President and Mrs. Taft, following their strenuous morning's work in receiving, had, luncheon with the ladies of the receiving line. Later in the afternoon they took an automobile drive in Rock Creek park and supper was served at 8, only the members of the house party and the immediate family being present. A DOG THAT SPEAKS GERMAN German Scientists Confirm Statement That the Animal Speaks and Understands. Berlin, Germany.—The claim of a gamekeeper near Hamberg that his dog can speak German and has an understanding of the language sufficient to answer questions intelligently has been taken so seriously by German scientists that Prof. Pfungst of Berlin University headed a commission of investigation. It is stated that the commission found the animal possessed of a vocabulary of seven words, which were clearly articulated. Of the number, four were words of two syllables. It is asserted that the dog understands what is said to him and replies to the inquiries of strangers, within the limits of his knowledge of the language, without aid or suggestion from his owner. City Cats Have Consumption. Boston, Mass.—Experts of the Harvard Medical school have decided that household cats and dogs do much toward spreading consumption. Thirty per cent of all the cats in Boston have consumption, according to tests. Democratic Governor in New York. Albany, New York.—John A. Dix was inaugurated governor of New York state amid booming guns and jubilant cheers. The exercises gave a Democratic governor to the state fo the first time in 16 years. Utility of the Machines in Actual War Again Demonstrated at Los Angeles. Los Angeles, Cal.—Actual "warfare in the air," such as has been dreamed of in romance since man first conceived the conquest of the upper world, may never become a reality, but the value of the aerosplane as an accessory of military operations of the future, was demonstrated beyond a doubt in a series of experiments conducted by Phil Parmalee, one of the crack Wright aviators now taking part in the meet at Dominguez field, under the direction of Roy Kanbensbue, manager of the Wright team. Circling nearly 3,000 feet above the surface of the earth, while Paralumea guided the huge man made bird as if it was endowed with the actual life of a member of the feathered tribe, the photographer, seated beside the aviator, made a series of photograph, which would have been of inestimable value to the commanding officer of an army in determining the position of an enemy. JAILS MAY GET TUB TRUST MEN Attorney General Wickersham Refuses to Compromise by Dissolution of Combination. Washington, D. C.—The bathtub trust defendants must run gamut of trial by jury for their offense. Earnest pleas for a compromise of the case against them were made at the department of justice and under orders from Attorney General Wickersham, rejected. Counsel for the indicted officials urged that all opposition to the injunction proceedings at Baltimore, looking to a dissolution of the trust would be withdrawn and that the defendants in the criminal action would plead guilty if the department of justice would consent to the imposition of fines only. In so many words they were informed by Assistant Attorney General Kenyon, representing the attorney general, that the department of justice knew of no reason why a particular trust that has violated the Sherman law should be favored and counsel for the offenders was warned to go back home and prepare to defend their clients. NEW MEMBERS SWORN IN C. C. McChord and E. H. Meyer are Now Members of Interstate Commerce Commission. Washington, D. C.-C. C. McChord of Kentucky and E. H. Meyer of Wisconsin the newly appointed members of the Interstate Commerce commission took the oath of office at the offices of the commission. The oath in each instance was administered by Chief Clark Connetty. The induction of the two men into office was co-incident with the transfer of Chairman Martin A. Knapp to the presiding office of the new court of commerce and the retirement for age of Commissioner Cockrell. THE LOAD THAT EUROPE CARRIES In 25 Years Armed Peace Has Cost $29,000,000,000 and Kept 3,995,000 Men Idle. Paris, France.—Edmund Thery, the French economist, figures that the maintenance of Europe's armed peace footing has, in the last 25 years, cost 145,000,000,000 francs, approximately $29,000,000,000. This expenditure involves an increase in the public debt of the European states of from 105,000,000,000 to 151,000,000,000 francs and constantly excluded from productive industry 195,000 officers and 3,800,000 men. Wyandotte Herald Suspends. Kansas City, Kansas.—The last issue of the "Wyandotte Herald," a weekly paper published in Kansas City, Kan., for the past 39 years, has been placed in the mails. The suspension of the paper was made by Vincent J. Lane,the veteran editor, not because of financial difficulties, but because sentiment would not allow him to pass its editorial control to anyone outside his family. Whisky Caused 258 Killings Montgomery, Ala.—Liquor caused 258 out of 630 homicides in Alabama in the two years ending September 30 last, according to the biennial report of Alexander N. Garber, attorney general. In the previous two years liquor caused 348 out of 656 killings. Taft Cuts Forest Acreage. Washington, D. C.—President Taft has signed proclamations eliminating 9,940 acres from the Boise national forest, Idaho, and 563,331 acres from the Ozark forest, Arkansas. This land was found to be of little value for forestry purposes. Crude Oil Costs More Now. Independence, Kansas.—The price of all grades of crude oil was advanced two cents a barrel by the Prairie Oil and Gas company, making the price 44 cents, the highest in more than three years. Weather is Not Healthful. Kansas City, Mo.—The sudden drop in the temperature is not conducive to the health; only the doctors, the undertakers and the coal men will benefit by it, according to Dr. W. S. Wheeler, city health commissioner. The KITCHEN GABINET T SEEMS dinners are but time T SEEMS dinners are but imo- vations, whilst breakfasts and suppers are men's most ancient and natural meals. The manna was sent night and morning. Milk and Its Care. Until the consumer works with the producer to have pure milk there will be little accomplished, as unclean and carelessly-handled milk is often due entirely to the consumer. A dish that is not properly cleansed and scaled may hold bacteria enough to wipe out a whole family. Milk dishes should be first rinsed in warm water, then well washed and drilled and sunned. The sun is a fine germ killer, even the tuberculosis germ succumbs to old Sol's gentle power. Typhoid, scarlet fever and diptheria are disseminated by milk, as has been proven over and over again, and that bolled milk enjoys a much greater immunity from the chance of carrying disease is well known. With a milkker with clean hands and clothes, a cow well brushed and the udder washed, a sterile pail to receive the milk, one has a fair chance to get pure milk. Milk should be cooled quickly to keep the bacteria always present from becoming active, then if kept cold until wanted, the milk will be suitable to feed little children. The custom of some mothers of keeping the milk warm all the time in a pan or pail of water cannot be too strongly condemned. The milk should be warmed only in the quantity the child requires at a feeding, and any left over should be thrown out, because of the rapid growth of bacteria in warm milk. The animal that manufactures its life blood for us should be treated with respect and consideration. Good food must be one of the first considerations as milk cannot be made out of poor and insufficient food, then she must be treated with gentleness. A cow pounded over the back with the milking stool is not going to return to you a pail full of milk. Milk is manufactured while milking and the more quiet and calm you and the cow are the bigger the pail of milk, all things considered. Milk is called a perfect food, as it contains all the food principles, fat, proteid, mineral matter, sugar and water. As a beverage, milk should be taken in sips, as if drunk too rapidly the casein acted upon by the juices of the stomach become hard lumps and are so difficult of digestion. E may live without books-wha E may live without books—what is knowledge but grieving? We may live without books—what is knowledge but grieving? that hope—what is hope but deceiving? We may live without love—what is pas Dishes for the Sick. It is often a great problem to know what to feed a sick person, as the appetite being poor, needs something dainty and that which appeals to the taste. Of course, a physician's orders should always be followed, as in some diseases only certain foods are allowed. Chicken Purree.—Take the white meat from the breast of a chicken that has been nicely roasted and a large tablespoonful of breadcrumbs. Pound the meat and bread together, mixing in a little chicken broth to moisten to the consistency of thick cream, season to taste, warm slowly and serve in a small cup. Savory Eggs.—Beat up two eggs with salt, pepper and a tablespoonful of cream. Melt an ounce of butter in a saucepan, then pour in the eggs, stirring constantly; as they thicken, throw in small pieces of tender roast chicken. Serve piping hot on toast. Rice Cookies—Take half a cup of cold boiled rice, one egg, a teaspoonful of butter and half a cup of milk; add to this three tablespoonfuls of rice flour and a pinch of salt, mix well together and bake in small tins. Sage Soup—Cook two tablespoonfuls of sage in one cup of water until soft, then add an egg yolk and half a cup of cream. Have ready a cup of beef essence and mix together. Beef Juice on Toast—Take a half cup of freshly squeezed juice, salt to taste and stand in a dish of hot water to heat. Butter two slices of well-browned toast and pour the juice over it. Serve hot. Brolled Oysters on Toast—Broll six large oysters before a very hot fire; have ready two slices of toast nicely buttered. Arrange three oysters on each slice, sprinkle with salt, pepper and lemon juice and serve immediately with horseradish sauce. Cheese as Food. We need to be reminded occasionally that the use of cheese in the cuisine is most important. Cheese is a highly concentrated food and a very little is sufficient to furnish a good meal. Every bit of dry cheese should be saved and grated to be used in omelets, souffles and other dishes. Cheese crackers to serve with salad or coffee are prepared by buttering the cracker, then sprinkle with cheese and put into a hot oven until the cheese is melted. Cheese toast, made by preparing toast dipped in egg and fried, then sprinkle with cheese and stand in a hot oven until the cheese is melted. Cheese Sandwiches.—Put soft, rich cheese through a potato ricer; for each cupful use an egg yolk and two tablespoonfuls of milk. Mix thoroughly; season to suit the taste. Spread on thin slices of bread, pressing them well together, then cut in strips. Beat the white of an egg with one-half cup of milk, dip the sandwiches in this, drain them, and sate in butter. Cheese cream toast is simply ordinary milk toast sprinkled with a generous sprinkling of grated cheese. Cheese Straws.—Roll out any scraps of pastry left over, sprinkle well with grated cheese, salt and red pepper; fold, roll and cut in strips. Bake until a crisp brown. Cheese Canapes.—Allow the beatens white of one egg to each cup of finely crumbled or grated cheese, a speck of cayenne and a dash of salt. Remove the crust from an inch-thick slice of bread, hollow the center, making a box, fill with the cheese mixture and bake about ten minutes. Serve on a napkin. Sweet curds are made by warming a quart of milk, stir into it one junket tablet dissolved in a tablespoonful of water. Stir occasionally to break the curd, strain into a cheese cloth and drain. Add salt to the curd and press out all the whey. W RISE by the things that are E RISE by the things that are under our feet! By what we have mastered of good and gain; By the pride deposed and the passion slain, And the vanquished ills that we hourly meet The sickroom is the first to need attention and thought. It is not always possible to choose the most suitable room for the sick one; but when it is possible, have it as far from noise and on the first floor, to save the stair climbing. In cases of infectious diseases, one on the top floor, as far as possible from the other members of the family is a desirable location. A single bed is much easier for the nurse to care for a patient in, also a room with a bare floor and as little furniture as possible to need care and moving about. All needless bric-a-brac and drapery only holds dust and is thus a menace to health. A rocking chair is often a great annoyance to a sick person, as the constant motion is often very irritating to a nervous patient. Bright pictures on the wails, washable curtains at the windows, flowers and books may make a sickroom attractive and comfortable. The bed is of the first consideration. A nice firm mattress of hair or wool with a thin quilted pad to protect it should always be used. We often find mattresses, after a short time, inclined to sink in the middle and may become most uncomfortable because of it. A thin quilt or blanket folded lengthwise and placed under the mattress will overcome this difficulty. For a person lying all day in bed, there is nothing so restful as several small pillows which may be put under the knees or shoulder or feet, thus serving to change the position and give the needed rest. These pillows may be stuffed with wool or hair or down. The arrangement of the sheets is a very important part of caring for a patient. The under sheet should be drawn very smoothly and in case of a restless or very heavy patient, should be pinned with large safety pins at the corners. If a rubber sheet is used, this now goes on and then draw a sheet doubled in the middle or width of the rubber and firmly tucked in. The object of the draw sheet is that it may be changed without disturbing the patient, and it keeps the under sheet clean. A good margin should be folded back over the blanket when putting on the top sheet. Avoid wrinkles, crumbs and anything that might cause bed sores on a patient. When the supply of bed linen is limited the upper sheet, which is often only wrinkled, may be used as a draw sheet. The pillow slips used in the day time may be aired and used again. Sunshine is a great germ destroyer. See that the bedding is sunned and aired often. "What kind of a chap is he, anyhow?" "One of these fellows who think they are distinguished because their clothes attract attention." WHE SEARCHLIQNY = ee ee Gane, Established in 1898. W. N. MILLER,. Editor.

It was a disatrous fire, did much damage and all regret it. But then it is simply in line with the Wichita Idea of doing Big things. Several firemen both white and colored wereseverely frosted while fighting the fire at the Bitting building. We are informed that the Wichita delegation to the Inter- state Literary at Des Monies, Towa were successful and that the next session of that Society will meet in Wichita in 1911.

The Calico mountains to the north first an- nounce the day's declifie. Late in the afternoon its rents and gashes become masses of purple shadow, strikingly outlined by the exposed qunlit stretches ‘which are gradually absorbed until the whole mountain is dull and lifeless. When the sun is low, the rugged range ‘to the southwest is tinged with a rosy glow varying’ from a dull pink to a deep rose, into which a purple hue gradually blends till it subdues all the brightness and the purple, in turn, changes to blue. As the sun sinks out of sight the light clouds in the east be come softly pink, the color spreading around to the north, and finally center- ing in the west, where the clouds are masses of burnished gold, which merge {nto brilliant rose color. Sometimes between the bright clouds and the horizon is a stretch of delicate green, with a hint of yellow light shining through; and always, in living over a desert sunset, you will see the soft cir. cling flight of the nighthawk skimming ‘over the ground and hear the low call of the dove. When the brightness has faded and the blue has crept in and banished the red you draw a deep breath and feel yourself a part of the Peace and quiet of the sky. You begin to understand the lure of the desert. ‘You feel as if body and soul had al- ‘ways been crowded for room and had jsuddenly been set free in this im- ‘mensity.

The score was tied, two men were out, a runner was on third and Hans Wagner was at bat! The crowd was too excited to be noisy, says Lippincott’s Magazine. A sporting editor had taken his neighbor the game. The neighbor was not a fan, but he had succumbed to the de- lights of “traveling on » pass” and was having a real, garrulous, good time.

For weeks the townspeople had talked of nothing else, and every maiden in the place was sure to be a spectator, wearing the college color. Old Sam Jones, the leading dry-goods merchant, had done a rushing bust- ness in the sale of blue ribbons and other trimmings of that color, and it is no wonder when a movement was started for a general suspension of business for that afternoon, that he readily responded. The Singletons represented a rival college, a few miles north of Fair- field. For years Fairfield had boast- ed of its college, one of the best in the Old Bay State, and her citizens took commendable pride in every. thing undertaken by the faculty of that institution. And there was noth- ing slow-Ii the personnel of that fac- ulty. The professors might be gray with age, but they were not ancient in thelr views. ‘They Were abreast of the times and had adopted a very Uberal policy, which appealed not only to the students, but to the parents. It was a popular institution with every one in town, and the morrow bade fair to be a gala day in Its his- tory. Much was expected of the Fair. ficld eleven. The Singletons had faced the best teams in the Inter- scholastic league, winning in every game; while the Fairfield eleven had been equally successful. The cham- pionship rested on the morrow's game and fortune favored the blues, inas- much as a lucky drawing earlier in the season had named Fairfield as the seene of the great contest. This suited the Fairfielders, for it was only a few months back that the Singletons had marched off the Fair- field grounds victors in the closing game of the baseball season, And there “was not a ball crank in town who was not anxious for revenge. ~ Line'Soule was responsible for that defeat, and he knew it as well as any- body. - With the score 3 to 3, his muff of un easy fiy In short left, gave Sin- gieton the winning run, for Fred Browne, who was on third base, dash- ed for the home plate as he saw the ball drop out of -Linc’s mitt. Before leaving Fairflold that evening the Sin- gleton's painted the little town crim. son.. The rough house play of the victors -that evening will never be for- gotten and that defeat was never men- tloned except with thoughts of re venge. Lino ‘Soule felt {t- keenly, and no one thought of alluding to that mis- play in his presence. As the football season approached he was as deter- mined as usual, and when’ the season liad progressed he as the right half- back had performed wonders on the gridiron, His playing had been the talk of every club in the league. “He's the man to lay for,” “Put in your in- terference on his end,” and similar advice was given the Singletons be- fore the contest. ‘The night before the great game the Fairfielders met in the gymnasium and talked over plans for the morrow. then the brawny youths wended their way to their quarters. ; Line Soule headed straight for the town, and some of. his comrades thought he had taken offense because of an accidental allusion to the defeat oft last summer. Binxie, the little quarterback, who foomed with Linc, gazed on his pal making strides for the center, and then in a voice more emphatic than ee begged him to come back. “Come, old man, cut it out. Let's fturn in; we'll be better for it in the morning,” was his logical advice, “AN right Binxie, I'l be with, you 4n an hour; you need not worry about 1@.. I'll be in that game tomorrow, fiever fear. But T. must. go down town,” was Line’s reply. ; He walked until ho reached a neat eottage on the. main street. As he scended the steps it was evident he as no stranger. It was the home of can Butler, one of the professor: Fairfield college. ' A brighteyed girl answered the 1, and when Line entered the re ption room his greeting was: ; “Lida, I want you to go to the game tomorrow.” “Ob, Line, I do so want to go,” she pads “but I had better not; you know if it hadn't been for me last summer ou would never have let that horrid red Browne make that run, and 1 mean to stay. at home.” a “{ Know, Lida, the boys think I: had my eyes on you instead of the bal t afternoon, and that is just why | vag you fo go tomorrow,” he urged “ts it best, Linc?” she asked. “Yes,” was the quick reply. “ fwant you to be on the field.

The air was crisp and cool, and long before the noon hour the little place was in holiday dress. What business had to be done was ao- complished in the morning, and with the ringing of the old town bell at 12, business was at a standstill, The midday Incoming trains had brought hundreds of strangers, many from other school towns who were aanxious to see the rivals clash on the gridiron, The Singletons were the favorites, and their black and gold banners seemed to be without end. ‘The Singletons were the last to ar rive on the field, and as if to insult the denizens of Fairfield they brought with them a band from Boston. To the tune of “The Good Old Summer Time,” just by way of a suggestion of a former visit, they marched to the grounds, Amid hisses and cheers the Single- tons und their band entered the en- closure playing this tune, The Fair fields were nettled at the proceeding, and with a deep drawn sigh of relief, that4immense throng which had filled every space outside of the playing ground, awaited the result of the con- test. The Singletons were imbued with copfidence, and after a short concert in the center of the field, during which they surrounded tho musicians and Joined in the chorus of a popular air, they entered into preliminary prac- tle, Just then the Fatrfields ran in upon the Mned playing space and the loyal residents of the little town stood up fh thei seats and cheered their favor ites to the echo. ‘The blues did not care to limber up. They had dono this on the college field, and when Capt. Soule lost the toss and had to kick facing the sun, the Fairflelders thought they ,were in hard luck. ‘Tho Singletons started in on the ag- gressive, and worked up—the ficld, yara by yard. With every down it was a clear gain. Their line bucking play was marvelous. Not once did Fairfield get the ball, and after ten minutes of this sort of play, just to make things pleasant, Fred Browne, who was on the left end, scored a toucbdown, The cheers which greet- ed thfs play were deafening, but fail- ure in kicking for goal cooled the ardor ef Singleton’s friends. ‘Then came that great run which astonished every one on the field. The Fairfielders got possession of the ball in their own territory, twenty yards from the goal line, and on the snap Binxle passed it to Linc, who made a move as if to dash around the right end. The Singletons were looking for this and had planned for great tack Hng.> Instead of completing a right end play Line crossed to the left, as if by magic, hurdling Singleton's left tackle and guard like so many fences and running down the whole length of the field, and placing the ball be hind his opponents’ posts for a touch- down, It was the most remarkable run ever seen on this football field. ‘The cheers were deafening, As he dashed down the fleld, Linc recogniz- ed just one yoice of encouragement from the Falrfield quarter, and as Lida Butler waved her small blue banner, he jumped completely over Fred Browne and made for the goal ine, Eaton, the fullback, scored the goal, and with the score 6 to 5 the Singletons attemptetd to retrieve their fortunes, but {t was no use. The first halt ended 6 to 8, and in the last \pe- riod Line Soule again executed a dashing play after breaking through ‘Singleton’s center. Outfooting his ‘rivals who falled to down him, he added a second touchdown to the score. The yells from Singleton on the Kick phased little Jenkins, who tried for goal, and with the score 11 to 5 and with three minutes to finish the game the Fairflelders held their cpponents down, winning the great- est game of football ever seen in the old Massachusetts town. ‘And it was all due to the marvelous run of Line Soule, who bad the en- couragement of the girl, credited with having been the cause of defeat dur ing the summer. Boy Understood the Situation. “Little boy, don’t you know you are in great danger on that thin ice?” “How, sir?” “well, you might break through and get wet, and even ff you don't break through your parents would undoubt- edly punish you severely if they knew you went on the pond.” “You ain't no guesser, mister; if break through an’ got wet I'll bo s hero at home an’ get all the sympathy and good things in the house.” ~ ‘Alurninum ineteed of ‘Copper. ‘The hydro-electric commission of Ontario, who have charge of the con- struction and operation of the electric power transmission system from Niag- ara falls, bave decided to use alum- num instead of copper wires, and have ordered 1,600,000 pounds of aluminum ~ GOT HIS SOBRIQUET EARLY “Honest John” Kelly Proved His Right to the Title Long Before Manhood.

And so I held his horse while he went in the saloon and got a drink. But this was on lower Ninth avenue, in a day when the avenue’s honors went to the man who could clean the most cops in a given time, By and by the gang came along and beheld that wagon full of tinware. The peddler was detained within by ‘a sore thirst, and they took the tinware. And then they came back and took the cush- tons off the wagon. Eventually, be- coming daring, they unhitehed the wagon and took it away. True to my trust, I stood there, holding the horse. And by and by the peddier came out of the saloon and sized up the situa- tion, ‘Well,’ sald he warmly, ‘you're Honest Jobn, all right, You saved the horse.’” cs ‘Wilson—Do you keep a second girl?

Attys. tried to confuse him, but he insisted that any casual visitor could see that nothing else went into the flour, Said machinery and floors always kept clean. So these men were examined by the “Week- ly” lawyers hoping to find at least one who would say that some under-grade grain was put in or some unclean condition was found somewhere. But it was no use.

The thin slice is spread as for a sandwich, then roll- ed in on itself until about the thick- ness of two fingers. Sharp biscuit cutters are used for round shapes aft- er the slices of bread are put together with the filling. Too great care cannot be eaken in shaping, as sandwiches of uneven size are not appetizing and reflect upon the social knowledge of the hostess.

He had it about six months when a friend told me about Cuticura. I sent and got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment. In three days after using them he began to improve. He began to take long naps and to stop scratching his head. After taking two bottles of Resolvent, two boxes of Ointment and three cakes of Soap he was sound and well, and never had any breaking out of any kind. His hair came out in little curls all over his head. I don't think anything else would have cured him except Cuticura, “I have bought Cuticura Ointment and Soap several times since to use for cuts and sores and have never known them to fail to cure what I put them on.

You can believe me or not, but what I am going to tell you is the gospel truth. In the early part of last spring I lost about a score of very valuable sheep, until one day as I was looking across from my house to the edge of the range opposite, about two miles away. I noticed some sheep. I got my telescope, and assured myself that they were mine. I placed the telescope in a suitable position, and made Bob, our best colle, look through it. After about a minute the dog wagged his tail and made off. In less than two hours he brought the sheep home safe and sound." C. M. E. CHURCH. Holds Their Services at Masonic Hall Every Sunday. Rev. R. P. Tyler has organized a branch of the C. M. E. Church in Wichita and the church is holding services on the 2nd flour of the Masonic Building, 615 N. Main street.

Sydney, Australia, has had a novelty in the shape of a "mystery ship." An American steamer, the Coronet, arrived by night in the harbor unsuled and unannounced. It was peopleled by a strange-looking crowd of men, women and children. The officers were dressed in clerical attire—long coats and white ties. Nobody was allowed on board save the government medical officer and the harbor master. The Sydney reporters ascertained that the ship is connected with the newest American seet, the "Holy Ghost and Us," whose head, a man named Stanford, claiming to be the reincarnated Elijah, is on board. The Coronet has been cruising for some months among the Pacific islands. LEAD THE IDEAL SIMPLE LIFE. Finns Devote Summer Menths to Enjoyment and Pursuit of Health. In Finland everybody lives the simple life in summer time. They camp out on islands, in the forests and always somewhere near the water, for everybody swims and bathes. Almost all classes sleep and eat al fresce at this time of year, and the town councils of the towns in this progressive and altogether delightful little country provide public fireplaces and public bathing sheds in all places where the working classes go in search of fresh dr. But the simple life is by no means dull with the frisky Finns. They combine it with a surprising amount of gayety. They eat, drink and as merry in their picturesque little log cabins outside the cities. When they are tired of bathing and splashing they dance, they sing, they catch fireworks and practice gymnastics, they all become like children and are the happiest, merriest, most good hatured, most easily pleased and most healthy holiday makers in the world. We might take many leaves from the Finns' book.—Ladies' Pictorial. REMARKABLE IN THE DOG LINE. Proud Owners of Pets, Listen to This from Flatbush, N. Y. Zip, a son of Bluff, the big bull terrier, is the most respected dog in Flatbush, N. Y., says a correspondent. He requires every other dog within 40 blocks to walk a chalk line and bow to him as he passes by. He can lick everything on four feet up to twice his size, yet is as mild as Devery-at-the Pump. His master attributes Zip's prowess to his fondness for the pipe. Like Old King Cole: He calls for his pipe, He calls for his nudies three. "That is the most remarkable dog in the world," says his master. "He takes my pipe out of my mouth and smokes it, standing on his hind feet. See! The stem is all chewed up! If the tobacco doesn't burn well, Zip will get down on his fours and chase all over the house to create a draught. When the fire is well started again he finishes his smoke and returns me the pipe. Strong? He ought to be named Samson. Why, we have a piano that weighs 600 pounds. Tie Zip to it with a rope and he will pull it all over the room." The Guaint Belluga. Caviare can be made of the roe of any fish; but the principal supply comes from the sturgeon and the belluga. The latter is about the most curious fish in the world. It weighs up to 1,000 pounds and innabits the waters of the swift-flowing Volga. It is so abundant that the natives of Astracan throw away the flesh—which is whiter than veal and very salty—and preserve only the spawns, of which they sometimes take as much as 200 pounds—out of one fish. This belluga lies on the bottom of the river at certain seasons and swallows many large pebbles of great weight to ballast itself against the force of the stream; that is, the pebbles act as an anchor. When the flood subsides and the waters are less violent the belluga disgorges itself; that is, it unballasts, hauls in its anchor and swims about for provender. Pecullar African Race. There is a peculiar sort of people living in northwest Rhodesia. These natives are small of stature, with large horns on their heads. The horn springs from the scalp, consists of the native's hair mixed with fat and filth, and is sometimes much as 18 inches long. For the first these Kaffirs live on the greens to be found on both sides of the river. They build their huts and eat ant heaps which appear like insects scattered over the flats. When the K fuse is in flood and the flats are changed into great lakes these people are safe in their huts on the ant heaps. Their cattle also take refuge on the ant heaps on which corn and mecales are likewise grown. Send for the S. P. C. C. A "Young Mother" asks our opinion of "the alleged injurious effects of rocking on babies." We must frankly say that we consider it a brutal practice. As the father of a great many babies, of all ages, we never rocked on any of them intentionally, and we would probably be arrested if we expressed our full opinion of any woman who would presume to do so.—Lippincott's Magazine. A Monster Loaf. Bakers in Germany are fond of making odd experiments, the following being reported from Dulsburg, 'n West phalia. At a children's party recently held in that town there was exhibited, and afterwards cut up and distributed among the youngsters present, a bread twist which for size at least has surely rarely been equaled. Weighing no less than 180 pounds, it had a breadth of six feet and a length of ten feet, and was thus found sufficient to supply a satisfactory afternoon collation to many as 500 boys and girls. BOY ROSE TO THE SITUATION Quick Wit and Intelligence Displayed by Youngster. His parents are convinced that Clarence will be a great man; the only doubt is whether it will be a statesman or scientist. He is only four years old, and their confidence is based largely on one incident. The boy never told of it, and it would have been lost to history if a neighbor had not been a chance witness. Clarence lives in the suburbs, and has a cat and kittens. One day he went into the yard next door with one of the little ones to play. There was a big pile of brushwood here, and he shoved his pet into a hole in this. She crawled so far back that all his efforts to get her out were vain. Had he been a man he would have pulled the pile of brush apart, but lacking strength for this he resorted to cunning. Running home, he soon returned with the mother cat. He shoved her into the hole after her offspring, and she soon came out with the little one between her teeth. Clarence bore them both home in triumph. Popular Author's Spouse "Improved" His Book to the Extent of a Loss of $7,000. It isn't fair to tell the name of the author. But one of the writers of best sellers turned out a fine piece of work a year or so ago. He took the rough draft of it to a publisher, and the man of ledgers fell for it in a minute. "I'll take it back to my wife and let her go through it to catch any errors of English," said the author, and the publisher agreed. When the corrected draft was returned, it seemed that the lady had caught errors that were not of English. She didn't agree, for example, with the hero's liking for brunette ladies, being of the opinion that blondes are the highest type of beauty. It is just a coincidence that she is herself a blonde. And there were one or two ellnorglyn episodes that the lady expurgated. And she changed the plot a bit, because, as she justly said, things like that never happened in real life—and if they did, they were never referred to by nice people. The sale of the book was confined to the free copies sent to the reviewers. Last week the author brought the draft of another story to the same publisher. "Fine, great, magnificent!" said the ardent gentleman when he read it. "My readers are crazy about it. I cried like a child in chapter 10 and, although my eyes are getting weak, I sat up until two o'clock in the morning to finish it. Just sign the contract on the dotted lines." The author signed, and then asked for the draft. "I want to take the draft home and let my wife go over it and catch the errors." said he. "You know my grammar gets a little cross-eyed sometimes." "Never again," said the publisher. "I have that manuscript locked in a safe, and if your wife tries to interfere with it I'll have her pinched. She's an estimable lady and a good housekeeper—but the last time she tried to improve one of your stories she cost me $7,000." SLENDER BALTIMORE WOMEN They Take Off Flesh by Rolling on the Floor and Running Up Stairs. "How slender the Baltimore women are," remarked an admiring critic the other day. And so they are. There is hardly an ounce of superfluous flesh in the entire city. Elderly women who once appeared after a summer trip rolling in flesh now come home tanned and weather-beaten, but with firm muscles and slender waists. It is marvelous how they do it. Watching in a tearoom, however, one learns something of the secrets. "I must not eat oysters; they make flesh, you know," the woman next you remarks, while her neighbor murrurs that it is hard to have to give up the things you most care for simply to keep below 140 pounds. "I love chocolate in any form," she says. The last sentence is not germane, but every one seems to understand what she means. "Try rolling on the floor," darkly whispers the woman at the suffrage meeting to one near her. "I have," she replies sibilantly; "it took off ten pounds in a month. But it was ruinous to my bones." "Your bones must get used to it. With gowns that are tight around the knees you cannot afford to have hips, and they must be got rid of some way." "You cannot roll in an apartment," groans a listener. "But then you cannot live in an apartment at all if you are fat." "True," she sighs, and subsides. "Run up and down stairs," suggested a lecturer not long ago, her subject being "The Good, the True and the Beautiful," with particular attention to the last. But it turned out that her entire audience lived in apartments, and they had fewer stairs than anything else in their lives.—Baltimore Evening Sun. Hunters Caught In Traps. A peculiar double accident marked the opening in northern New Jersey of the season for shooting quall, partridge, grouse, English pheasant, squirrel, wild turkey and woodcock. Among the hunters who left Bloomfield were Max Wiemer and Isaac K. McGirr. They reached a patch of woods on the second mountain, fronting on Little Falls road, by daylight, and started out in opposite directions, so that they would not shoot each other. Soon Wiemer heard his companion scream for help. He ran toward McGirr, fell into a bear trap and was held fast, the sudden shock almost dislocating his thigh. McGirr shouted to Wiemer that he also was caught in a bear trap. Timothy Spear, a farmer, went to their assistance and The Foolish Virginia. "We should always be prepared," said H. K. Adair, the San Francisco detective, in an interview in New York, "and then we will miss nothing. "You've heard, perhaps, of the young lady who said, as she sipped her tea: "I've just had such a dreadful experience." "A dreadful experience?' asked another young lady. "Yes,' was the reply. 'I saw a splendid bargain in shoes downtown and I've got a hole in my stockings." Plight of Two Alaska Prospectors Who Had Plenty of Gold Dust and Offered it for a Meal. Mining the glittering gold successfully on a claim and then transporting it to some bank or assay office seems to be a task fraught with many difficulties for the Alaska miner. Word has just been received from Katalla, Alaska, of the exciting experience of H. Parsons and A. Hill, two prospectors, who nearly starved to death with $15,000 in gold dust in their possession. Parsons and Hill had made a nice clean-up on their claims at Yakatage and decided to take their gold to the bank at Katalla. Leaving Yakatage in a dory, they proceeded as far as Seal river, where they encountered a dense fog. Fearing they might be blown to sea, they landed at the mouth of the river. As the fog cleared a storm came, causing a heavy surf which smashed their dory and destroyed the greater part of the provisions. The gold dust had been carefully packed ashore, but the men were miles from any camp, and their only hope of reaching civilization was a march of miles over rough country and the swimming of glacier rivers, or perchance a passing fisherman might pick they up. After waiting several days for some chance relief, their scant food supply gave out and they were compelled to make the mush to Kennuck island, which was accomplished by swimming several glacier rivers and depending on wild strawberries for food. An Indian canoe was obtained at Kennuck, in which the men made the remainder of the trip to Katalla. Throughout the trip the men clung to the gold dust, but declared they would have given it all for a boat and a square meal many times during the trip to Kennuck island. HE PRACTISES LAW BY EAR Pierce Butler's Retort to the Supercilious Question of a College Man in a Chicago Club. Pierce Butler, special counsel for the government in the bleached flour cases, according to his own description of himself, is but a plain, rough-nocked Irishman who grabbed his knowledge of law between times while making a living by other kinds of work. When he went into the prosecution of the flour cases he met up with a large number of university lawyers an chemists. While they were all dining at the Chicago club one evening the university men began telling stories about their boys at Yale, Harvard, Princeton and other places where Butler had never been. "Ah, by the way, Mr. Butler," asked one of the high brows with appropriate university accent, "of what school are you a graduate?" "Not any," said Butler; "I just practise law by ear." Butler thinks the time of the black letter lose pretense in the professions and science is past. In cross-examining one of the high brow chemists he wanted to know something more about a proposition in chemistry the witness had laid down. "Well, really, Mr. Butler," said the chemist in a superior sort of way, "you see this is a matter of involved inorganic chemistry and I doubt whether I can explain it so that you can understand it." "Um—well, suppose you give me the benefit of the doubt," said Butler. Now the Crewless Warship. A new type of warship, invented by Messrs. Wirth, Beck & Knauss of Nuremberg, is causing a great sensation in naval stations. All the movements of the new vessel can be controlled from a land station many miles distant. During recent experiments at Dutzendtlech a 30-foot boat was made to go forward, backward, turn in a circle and fire mines and torpedoes, all its operations being directed from the shore. Nobody was on board the boat. Representatives of foreign naval powers are negotiating with the inventors. Experts predict a great future for the new craft.—New York Sun. His Conclusion. Claude Grahame White, the English aviator, praised, at a dinner in New York, the American stage. "Your plays are livelier than ours," he said. 'Our plays are very dull and stupid. A novelist said to me one night at the Automobile club in London: "I have written several plays and they have all been rejected. So I devoted last month to a study of the London theater. I took in every play in town. I was resolved to get a lot of points on the English stage." "And did you learn much?" said I. "Well," said the novelist, moodily, "I came to the conclusion that I'm the only man alive who can't get a poor play put on." Barcelona. Barcelona is divided, for administrative purposes, into the old Barcelona of the Middle Ages and the new Barcelona, with its wide streets and beautiful residences. The public works of the old and new parts are intrusted to separate Spanish officials and paid for out of separate funds, and the problems are entirely distinct. In the new town the sum of $6,500,000 is being expended on a sewerage system, while the old town is mediaval in this as in other respects, and even has a bit of sewer built in Roman times.
