The Interurban Excursiou from Wichita to Valley Center Monday night under the auspices of the coiled Episcopal Church was a distinctive big hit and a howling success. Aschairman of the arrangement committee Mr. John H. Sayles by the superb manner in which he provided for the comfort of his many guests set a new feather in his cap of ability to manage.

NO.11 Sheriff Loses Office. Montgomery, Ala., June 21 The Supreme Court of the State of Alabama, in an opinion handed down last Thursday, decided that P. W. Jimwright, Sheriff of Bulock County Alabama, should surrender his office. This was the result of impeachment proceedings brought against him for neglect of duty in permitting of Aberdeen Johnson, a negro charged with rape to be taken from Bullock County Jail and lynched by a mob Sunday, April 2. The decision of the Supreme Court follows closely upon the heels of ringing statement made this week by Dr. Booker Washington in the Montgomery times condemning in strong words the eight lynchings which occurred in different sectione of the South on last Sunday, "It matters not that the prisoner may have been guilty of the most revolting crime known to our laws" he writes. "the net wave of popular frenzy might deprive of his life one who upon proper investigations, be found to be innocent. "It is vain for us to write in our constitution that cherished heritage of English speaking people that all persons accused of crime shall have a right to a public trial A law not enforced is not law at all. The sheriff who defends his prisoner from voilence is defending the constitution of his State and perchance the lives, the liberty and the happiness of his own family," Race Enterprises Not all colored men practice what they preach when it comes to giving patronage to negro enterprises. In many cases is a plausable excuse, but in the majority of instances the failure arises from the same cause that is sought to be combated among the people generally. This found in a lack of confidence in every thing which a negro controls. The few rallo successful negro enterprises have succeeded with this handicap and in spite of it. They have, however, odened up the way whereby their successors and imitators may go to a even greater heiths of success, for they represent breaches in the wall which has hitherto barred negroes from success in business. If enterprises can be started now and conducted for a time in every community in the country economically, the time will assuredly come come when the race will become arroused to the necessity of giving every needed en couragement to negro enterprises. They must do. Durham Reformer INDICT BURNS FOR KIDNAPING TRUE BILLS RETURNED AGAINST DETECTIVE HOSSICK ALSO. Eight Indictments Found, Five Against Detective in McNamara Case—$10,000 Bail. Indianapolis—Detective W. J. Burns and James Hossick, a city detective of Los Angeles, Cal., were indicted on charges of kidnapping John J. McNamara, secretary of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, from this city and McNamara was indicted on charges of conspiracy to dynamite by the Marion county grand jury. In all, the grand jury returned eight indictments. The other five indictments are against -Detective Burns, who is under $10,000 bail to the local grand jury and Detective Hossick of Los Angeles, who has not been arrested. Gov. Marshall, who honored the requisition for McNamara, "acted clearly within the law and did in the premises what he should have done," according to the jury's report. City Judge Collins, before whom McNamara was taken, and the Indianapolis police officers connected with the case all were absolved from blame or wrongdoing by the grand jury. FRANCEMAY STOP ARMY FLIGHTS Question Raised in French Senate on Account of Numerous Fatal Accidents. Paris.—The question was raised in the French senate whether the government should countenance aviation contests in view of the recent tragedies and especially whether the minister of war should permit army officers to take the risks that they do while aeroplaning is still far from perfect. Gen. Francois Goiran, the minister of war, said the army took no part in the private aviation arrangements except as at Vincennes, to send troops to maintain order, and the utmost precaution had been taken to safeguard Capt. Princetau's machine from the curious spectators. Gen. Goiran contended that it was necessary for officials to be able to fly as successfully as private citizens. MEXICAN HUNG BY TEXAS MOB Boy Stabbed the Owner of a Garage When Ordered to Stop Whittling. Thorndale, Tex.—The whittling of a stick led to the killing of Charles Zeitung, a garage owner, and the subsequent lynching of a Mexican youth here. Whether the boy was a citizen of the United States or of Mexico is not known. The sheriff of Milam county is on his way to Thorndale to investigate. The Mexican, a boy about 18 years old, was whittling on the sidewalk in front of Zeitung's garage early in the evening. Zeitung ordered him to stop. This, according to bystanders, angered the Mexican and he stabbed Zeitung through the neck. Henwood's Trial Postponed Denver, Col.-The failure of District Judge Greeley Whitford to return from the east, where he went to attend his brother's funeral, caused the case of Frank H. Henwood of New York, accused of the murder of S. L. Von Phil of St. Louis, to be delayed. It would not be a surprise to the attorneys if the trial was put over until the September term of court. The defense is making a hard fight for a long postponement and will advance the reason that the alleged illness of Mrs. John W. Springer, whom they expect to call as a witness, prevents her from testifying at this time. Taft Anniversary Brilliant Affair Washington.—One of the biggest and most remarkable receptions ever given in the White House was that with which President and Mrs. Taft celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of their marriage. About 4,000 invitations had been issued, and those bidden to the festivities included persons in every walk of life. The scene in the White House and its grounds was one of great beauty and brilliancy. Miss Helen Taft assisted her father and mother in receiving the guests. Minnesota Bankers at Bemidji Bemidji, Minn.—The Minnesota Bankers' association held its annual meeting here, a goodly number of the members being present. President L. A. Huntoon of Moorhead was in the chair and the speakers on the program included James T. Tawney of Winona, Joseph Chapman of Minneapolis, Kelssey S. Chase of St. Paul and Lafe Young of Des Moines, Ia. Another Los Angeles Bomb Los Angeles, Cal.—A bomb made of gas pipe one and a quarter inches in diameter and eighteen inches long, filled with gun cotton, was found at the Hall of Records.

It is the last block of property needed to connect the holdings of the railroads entering the present Union station with the Sixteenth street outlet and give a clear sweep of trackage and freight yards property between the Chicago river and Clinton street. The suits were brought in the name of the Central Terminal Railway company as agents of the Minneapolis, St. Paul & Saulte Ste. Marie, the lessee of the Wisconsin Central, which at present gains access to Chicago through a traffic agreement with the Illinois Central. STATE HELP FOR KANSAS WIDOW Appeal to Supreme Court of United States Will Be Fostered by the State. Topeka.—The state of Kansas is going to help a widow fight the casualty companies of the United States. Gov. Stubbs has directed John S. Dawson, attorney general, to take charge and fight through the supreme court of the United States the damage suit of Mrs. Kate Caspar of Kansas City, Kan., against William Lewin, a second hand junk dealer. Caspar was killed because some machinery was not properly protected. Mrs. Caspar was unable to pay the expensive court costs incident to the appeal to the United States supreme court which Lewin had taken. To Congress for "Special Interests." Pensacola, Fla.—When C. H. B. Floyd, a member of the state legislature, announced his candidacy for congress from the Third district of Florida, he surprised his constituents by proclaiming that he was "going to congress to represent special interests." Floyd explained later that the special interests were those set forth in the Ten Commandments. White Rests and Writes. Emporia, Kan.—William Allen White left for Park, Col., where he will spend the summer in writing a book. Mr. White was accompanied by Mrs. White and their children; Mr. White's mother, Mrs. Mary A. White, and by Miss Jessamine Lindsey of Kansas City. They will be gone probably till October. Women's Nine-Hour Law Effective, Kansas City, Mo.—The child labor and woman's nine-hour work laws will go into effect throughout the state June 20. The maximum penalty for the violation of either is a fine of $100 and sentence to one year in jail or both and each day's employment constitutes a separate offense. Death Comes to St. Joseph Banker. St. Joseph, Mo.-Ernest C. Hartwig, second vice-president of the First National Bank, is dead. He was 45 years old. He had been an invalid a year.

The bakers at the institution assert the cake is the biggest one on record. Oklahoma Refinery Burns. Sapulpa, Ok.—The Sapulpa oil refinery, one of the largest in Oklahoma, is burning and a loss of $200,000 has been caused. MONTANAROBBERS' THIRD VICTIM Anaconda, Mont.—A third victim has been added to the list of those shot by the two desperadoes who killed William Kidd, a conductor on the Oregon Short Line, and wounded Sam Melton, deputy sheriff. He is Edgar Magill, a ranchman near Hamer, Idaho. Magill was riding over his ranch when one of the bandits suddenly jumped from behind a clump of sage brush and fired. One of the robbers seized Magill's horse and rode off. He took Magill's gun and all the ammunition he could find. Earlier in the day the bandit appeared at a grocery store in Hamer and was recognized. He immediately ran. He hid in Magill's field and thinking the latter suspected him, shot him. The Oregon Short Line railway has offered a reward of $1,000 for the capture of the men. NO FREIGHT RATE ADVANCE Increase in Minimum Charge for Small Freight Suspended by Commerce Commission. Washington.—Advances in the minimum charge for the transportation for freight in single packages and in small lots, proposed by the railways in classification territory to become effective July 1, have been suspended by the interstate commerce commission until October 28 next. The suspension affects approximately 600 railroads. The tariffs filed on behalf of the roads provide for a minimum charge of 35 cents for such package practically irrespective of weight and distance. An investigation into the tariffs will be made by the commission. Banks Will Get Few Bonds Washington.—Announcement will soon be made of the names of investors who bid successfully for the new 3 per cent $50,000,000 Panama loan. As the tabulating has progressed it has become more apparent that most of the issue will go to individuals, trustees of estates, schools and public institutions, rather than to banks. Treasury officials felt they had been vindicated in their prediction that there was a public demand for a government guaranteed form of investment. Washington.—Frauds amounting to several million dollars in duties on importations of cutlery in the last few years have been discovered by secret agents who have been working in this country and in the Solingen district of Germany, whence most of the imports come to the United States.

Crippen's Lawyer Disbarred. London.—Arthur Newton, the attorney for Dr. Hawiey H. Crippen, who was hanged for the murder of his American wife, Belle Elmore, has been found guilty of unprofessional conduct in connection with the notorious case by a committee of the law society and the divisional court was asked to "deal with him." This constitutes a request that Newton's name be stricken from the roll of solicitors. No Prize Fights in Oklahoma Oklahoma City—Gov. Lee Cruce states unequivocally that prize fighting is strictly in violation of law, and directs Sheriff Boyer, af Sapulpa, to make an investigation and take what ever steps may seem necessary to prevent the Morris-Flynn fight. Cooke Not Guilty. Cincinnati, O.—Edgar S. Cooke was declared not guilty of embezzling $24,000 from the Big Four railway. The jury was out about three minutes less than two hours. The American Home WILLIAM A. RADFORD Editor THE HOME OF THE HOME OF THE HOME questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 178 West Jackson boulevard, Chicago, Ill., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. To anyone who is interested in home building and who goes about with eyes open to what is going on in the building world, it is very plain: evident that we are building very much better today in America than at any former time. Not only in our designs is better taste being used, but we are building more substantially and are equipping our homes with all modern conveniences to make them comfortable, sanitary and labor-saving. It used to be said that there was no such thing as an American style of architecture, and looking at some of our residence sections which were built up, say 30 years ago, we are inclined to agree that at that time there was no American domestic architecture worthy of the name. The styles of our houses were borrowed from every quarter of the globe; very often the same structure containing borrowings from a dozen different lands and foreign climes. Over our land has been scattered a great conglomeration of Queen Anne cottages, Swiss chalets, Italian villas, Indian bungalows, and more recently art nouveau creations. A few of these have been at peace with their environment and look to be in their natural, appropriate setting; but most of them seem very much out of place. However, in the houses that we see going up today there is a directness of design and a sincerity of treatment that is very satisfying. One of our ONE OF OUR STORIES philosophers has said, "There is a settled relation existing between home architecture and the human heart and the expression of that relation should be the ideal of domestic architecture." Today we may be said to be approaching that ideal, for we are insisting first of all that our homes express simple beauty and hospitable comfort and liveableness. In this architectural development cement plaster exterior, stucco work, has played a great and important part. The use of cement plaster has freed the architect to a certain extent from certain of the old time fixed rules, and has allowed a greater freedom in composition than with either wood, stone or brick. New styles ENTRY CASE PARTY DINING KITCHEN 10'0"x10'9 BATH 16'6"x10'8 BED ROOM 12'0"x10'6 LIVING ROOM 14'6"x200 HALL CLOSES CLOSES BED ROOM 12'0"x90 VEST PORCH 16'0"x8'6 Floor Plan. have been evolved and new rules formulated which are in accord with the ideals of today. Stucco has been used in connection with exterior work for hundreds of years, but only as applied over brick and rough stone buildings, and was usually ruled off into neat oblongs to mitate the fine dressed stone work. It is hardly surprising that as an imitation it was far from being a success. In recent years stucco or cement plaster exterior in connection with frame buildings has made its appearance and has gained a wonderful popularity. Applied over wood or expanded ```markdown ``` metal lath in a durable coat from one-half to three-quarters of an inch in thickness, this material produces a very neat and at the same time durable, attractive appearance. It stands on its own merits, it does not imitate anything. If ornamentation is desired, the broad flat surfaces are divided up into panels in any way to suit the fancy of the architect. Small and irregular spaces, corners, etc., are handled just as easily as the straight, flat work. It is scarcely to be wondered at that this type of construction has received such favorable attention. The coat is just about the same as for clapboards or shingles, and it has the advantage of being more fire resisting. One of the problems in connection with this type of construction in the past has been that of waterproofing. Especially where metal lath has been used, this has been a matter for serious consideration. Unless particular pains were taken to make the very outer surface thoroughly waterproof moisture was bound to penetrate the thin layer of plaster and get to the metal, causing rusting and serious weakening of the walls. To solve this problem has been the task of the paint men; and evidences are that they have now solved it satisfactorily. Numerous paints, stains waterproofing compounds, etc., are now on the market to meet every need along these lines. The design illustrated herewith is a very good example of what can be done with cement plaster in the design and construction of a small-sized house or cottage. This is a four-room cottage which has been built for $2,000, and from that up to $2,500. It is 34 feet 4 inches wide by 35 feet 6 inches long, exclusive of the porch. The exterior is extremely attractive. The exterior is extremely attractive. THE HOME OF THE HERITAGE CENTER being of the type that is so popular at the present time—neat, home-like, substantial looking, finished with cerent plaster. The floor plan shows a very large sized living room, 14 feet 6 inches by 20 feet long. This is to the left of the central hall, while to the right are two large-sized bedrooms, each with a clothes closet. A large kitchen is in the back of the house and is intended to be used as a dining room also, if desired. The bathroom, pantry, etc., are very conveniently located. This is a design that works out very well in practical use and prospective home builders cannot do better than to follow it. Set Him Right. At Broadway and Forty-second street, New York, a man and his wife were making valiant efforts to cross the street, dodging among trolleys and automobiles. They finally landed on the opposite curb, agitated and breathless, having, at the last moment, narrowly escaped 'destruction under the tires of a huge motor car. "I wish," said the man fervently, "that all automobiles were in hades and the chaufeurs in heaven." "My dear," remonstrated his wife, mildly, "you ought to reverse that wish, because in heaven the roads are so good." Slightly Qualified. Fred A. Beckwith, a Clevelander in exile, spoke of Cleveland's enormous growth, but on being pressed was unable to say that he had visited either the new west end, or the south side, or yet the hilltop. Still, in a general way, he knew the town had grown a heap. "He reminded me," said Fred Bright, "of the farmer who sent his young son to find four sheep that had strayed from the herd. "At night the farmer asked the sor if he'd found the missing sheep. "Yes sir," replied the boy. I've found then all but three."—Cleveland Leader. The Real Theaters.

The Kaiser Likes the Bible The kaiser is a great reader, and while he tries to keep himself abreast of current events, his favorite book is the Bible, says the London Chronicle. A well thumbed and marked copy is always by his bedside. When Mr. Roosevelt visited Berlin last year, the kaiser made him a present of a number of books. About half of them referred to theology and the others to military subjects. These two classes indicate the kaiser's own preferences. $532,500 in Its First Month.

In these her- aldic pictures Franklin represents the colonies as of the calm and peaceful animal kingdom, the crane and also the dove. In fact a committee dele- gated to devise a signature for the United States, reported in 1782 “that the goddess of America , (Columbia) have upon her dexter hand perched a dove argent (white).” While the elab- orate design was not accepted by the continental congress it indicates that in these days the colonies were often symbolized by a dove, in fact, that peace-loving and minding your own business was finally accepted in the symbolism. of the “olive branch,” in the right talon of the adopted eagle— also indicated in the peace tincture of the American shield which according to law is an argent (white or silvery) peace emblem, upon it blazoned six red stripes. “When men Itke moles work underground ‘The Ton a Virgin true shall wound.” | During the last years of the Revolu- tion the continentals frequently at- tempted to make approaches to the camp and redoubts of the British by underground passages. ‘This tunnel method was evidently a French: sug- gestion, as it was a part of early French military tactics. The digging in the earth is also well illustrated in the winter headquarters at Valley Forge, where the feiling of trees to establish their log cabins was slow work; and when the cold winter set in many were the holes in the ground that served as lodgings for the freez- ing troops. The line, “The Lion a Virgin true shall ‘wound,” might be taken as a reference to the terrible massacres, expeditions of plunder and destruction in Virginia, named the Vir- gin colony in honor of Queen Eliza- beth. This country of the virgin was indeed wounded, for no other section of the country ‘suffered such bloody military attacks. It was estimated by Jefferson that the raids of Benedict Arnold through Virginia cost the enormous sum of $15,000,000 in prop- erty, besides the thousands of lives sacrificed under conditions of the most frightfol torture, “When the Dove and the Cock the Lion “shall Aight. Ss gt L SS SIG ; eee ea . se fF SS — hy ——— = ve This could be accepted as referring to the united forces of the colonists (the Dovey and the French (the Cock), at the final engagement before Yorktown. This siege and battle re- sulted in the American victory, and therefore the union of Americans and French resulted in the “Lion” being compelled to “crouch beneath their might.” “when the Cock shall guard the Bagle's ‘The stars shall rise—all in the West.” Here we find an allusion to the sub- sequent history of the three nations— American, French and English. When independence was recognized, the sym- bol of the United States appeared in the form of a bald eagle, “The bird of freedom and imperial power.” ‘The second test of martial power be- tween American and England came in 1812, and on both sea and land we suffered severe losses, the capitol at Washington being destroyed by the en- emy and the city itself falling into pos- session of the British. But the shield- ing attitude of France toward the eagle’s nest (the young republic rep- resented by the American eagle) made it possible for the states to attain vic- tory from what the world had almost pronounced defeat. The New Eng- land states were never in sympathy with the war, and, indeed, an interest- ing non-national page, bordering on secessional attitude, falls into the his- tory of the puritanic section of our country. The invasion of Canada was a decided failure. Hull's surrender has always been considered unsatisfac- tory and totally unnecessary; he was court-martialed and sentenced to be shot; but his Revolutionary military record saved his life and he was par- doned. The brave Captain Lawrence mm the Chesapeake gave as his dying vords the order, “Don’t give up the hip,” but fate compelled his crew to trike their colors. The Essex, the first American frigate to sail around Cape Horn into the Pacific, found a British vessel waiting for her, and in the battle which ensued the enemy came off victorious. In the midst of these disasters the New Englanders were disregarding by a majority of votes what the national government at Washington decreed. They quietly and secretly published a most unsatistac- tory report that was supposed by many to have had its origin in an at- tempt to break up the federal power. The south and middle west were loy- al to the federal edicts, Jackson's mar- velous victory, at New Orleans, while possibly one of the most pronounced military successes in the history of civilized warfare, was achieved after peace had been declared, and hence cannot be, sald to have had any bear- ing on the ending of hostilities, The terms of peace were largely brought about through French influence, as be- cause of the military conditions ex- isting between England and France, the British found {t {mpolitic to fol- low up the American campaign, al- though the war was in their favor. Here, then, is an apt illustration of how the French (the Cock) protected the Eagle's nest (America). So much for the first line; the next is espe- ay prophetic: “The stars shall rise all in the West.” Immediately after the war of 1812 the stars began to gather in our flag, and they all came from the west, for it should be remembered that in those days any country lying on the sun- down side of the Alleghany mountains was considered west. Hence the open- ing up of the great western terri- tory with the immediate admission of the, new states brought forth the “rise of the stars all in the west” un- til this day, when the flag has since 1812 seen 30 stars rise in the west. “When ships above the clouds shall, sail The Lion's strength shail surely fail.” It requires no great stretch of im- agination to apply the above lines to the present era when aviators are the heroes of the hour, and long continued filghts in airships have ceased to be a novelty. And one might take the “failing of the lion's strength” to re- fer to the lessening of the British navy's far famed power when confront- ed with the possibility of attack by enemies floating in the air. When a certain Frenchman not long ago cross- ed the channel in an airship and land- ed safely on British soll, great was the alarm manifested throughout — the realm of King George. The event al- most caused a panic among those to whom the bugbear of probable inv sion by Germany ts ever a matter o anxiety, ‘The last four lines of the Seer’s rhymed intimation of coming. disaster deserves consideration together; “When Neptune's back with stripes is red ‘he sickly’ Lion shall hide his head. Wien seven and six shall make but, one The Lion's might shall’ be undone.” Possibly these four lines foretell ter- rible battles on the sea, Neptune be- ing the mythological god of the ocean, and prophesy a naval war in which the waters will be literally ablaze with the red stripes shooting from the cannons’ mouths. Or reference may be bad to the planet Neptune, instead of the sea god—that heavenly body which of our planetary system is the furthest away from the sun, being 2,745,998,000 miles distant, Within the last few years astronomers have expressed the opinion that Neptune, Uke Sacurn, has red or bright belts about it, and if the telescopes can be made more powerful these “red stripes” will be in view. Is it then ‘that we may expect “The sickly lion shall hide his head?” Or it may be that the last two lines refer to the United States, or else ‘indicate the death and numerical des fgnation of King Edward VII. In the first instance seven and six make 13, the generally accepted symbol of the United States represented in the stripes of the flag. “When seven and six shall make but one” might stand for the time when all the territories now under our flag shall all be admit. ted to statehood, and all these new governments be represented on our national standard, Or the lines might have direet refer. ence to King Edward’s death. The seven and six may well indicate Eng- land’s “Seventh Edward,” or spelling out the two words we have: § 1, B 2, V3, 4,N 5,7 6,H 7; and B 1, D2, W 3, A 4, R 5, D 6—showing clearly the seven and six numerals forming ‘one king. Upon his death “The (Eng- lish) Lion's might shall be undone.” In connection with the final predic- tion it 1s not too much te say that England has not for years been in such an unsettled state politically or called upon to face so many perplexing prob- lems. Edward, seventh of the name, the ‘Peacemaker, sleeps with his fathers, ‘and George V. mounts the throne of his ancestors, while ftom all parts ‘of the great empire people gather to do him homage. What of the future? Has the might of England passed away #ith the life of her peacemaker, or is one prophecy to prove false where so many other predictions made by the mystic student of the stars in the long ago have been fulfilled to the uttermost ?

Every housekeeper knows how much work is entailed in keeping sil- ver clean. Furthermore, that this work must be done frequently, as the ware tarnishes even when stored away. A device has been invented by which the cleaning can be done in fraction of the time heretofore re- quired and without any scouring with powders or pastes. A metal pan, with a grating just above the bottom, is partly filled with a solution of warm SS ag OWT | 7 S ie | \seel 7] M Li~ R c if = us ee water and a tablespoonful each of common salt and baking soda. The pan is made of a material which will not corrode from the action of these substances in the water, but this same action will remove the tarnish from silver in a few minutes. The tableware is placed ox the grating in the pan and allowed to remain there for from one to two minutes, if warm water is used, and from five to ten minutes if the water is cold. It is then removed and wiped dry, leaving ftvae -priguthas wee OLD NEW ENGLAND DELICACY Apple Slump Healthful and Appeti ing, Particularly During the Months of Summer.

Five min- utes later add to the apples one and a half cupfuls of molasses and cook for 15 minutes more, while you pre- pare a soft biscuit dough, using two cupfuls of flour, one heaping tedspoon- ful of sugar, two level teaspoonfuls of baking powder, and one teaspoonful of butter, rubbed finely into the flour, and milk to stir to a dough that is too soft to roll. Put this over the ap ples, which should be tender, but not broken, cover the saucepan closely and cook 30 minutes without lifting the cov- er. Serve with a hot sauce, made by heating to a cream half a cupful of butter and one cupful of sugar, stir- ring in just before using one cupful of boiling milk and a seasoning of grated nutmeg.

Washington.—The House committee investigating the sugar trust took up the organization of the National Sugar Refining Company of New Jersey. James H. Post, the president, said that the capitalization was $20,000,000, divided equally between preferred and common stock, ‘The companies taken in were capitalized at between $3,000, 000 and $4,000,000, The common stock, which has earned $2,500,000 of dividends, was the reward given H. 0. Hayemeyer for combining these properties and thus creating the National Sugar Refin- ing Company, according to Mr. Post. Post acted as Havemeyer's agent in the organization of the company. AtlSee Taft. Decorations. Washington—The Taft “consola- tion,” for the benefit of those not for- tunate enough to be invited to the sil- ver wedding anniversary Monday night, was the biggest social event Washington ever saw. For human in- terest it lost nothing in comparison with the other. The heterogeneous throng was a stuay. The decorations were the same as those of Monday night. Every light was in place, the electrical set piece “1886-1911,” under which the president and Mrs. Taft stood to receive their guests was as bright as ever, and the flag of red, white and blue lights across the front of the White House waved as gaily as for the mote splendid crowd. Mrs. Lea Probably Saved. Washington.—Mrs, Luke Lea who, when near death recently was revived by the transfusion of a quart of blood drawn from the veins of her husband, Senator Luke Lea of Tennessee, is still in a critical condition, although the physician hopes to save her life. Sen- ator Lea is weak, but will be able to leave the hospital in a few days.

Either tea or yerba mate {s served in Chile at 4 p. m., not only in the homes, but at clubs, restaurants and hotels, and many business houses. A cup of tea and a roll or small cake in the club or hotel cost from eight to twelve cents United States gold, while the business houses serve it free rather than have the clerks leave their work to go out for it. FREED FROM SKIN DISEASE “Our boy was born in Toronto on Oct. 13, 1908, and when three months old a slight rash appeared on his cheek. What appeared to be a war ter blister would form, When it broke, matter would run out, starting new blisters until his entire face, head and shoulders were a mass of seabs and you could not see a par- ticle of clear skin, Other parts of his body were affected, but not to such an extent. We tried about every advertised remedy without avail, in- deed some of them only added to his suffering and one in particular, the —— Remedy, almost put the infant into convulsions. The family doctor prescribed for him and told us to bathe the baby in buttermilk. This did not do any good, so we took him to a hospital. He was treated as an out-patient twice a week and he got worse, if anything. We then called in another doctor and inside of a week the boy was, to all appearances, cured and the doctor said his work was done, But the very next day it broke out as bad as ever. “We decided that it could not be cured and must run its course and so we just kept his arms bandaged to his side to prevent his tearing his flesh. We left Toronto and shortly after our arrival in Duluth, the Cut cura Remedies were recommended. We started using them in May, 1909, and soon the cure was complete. You would not think he was the same child for Cuticura made his skin per- fectly clear and he is entirely free from the skin disease. There has been no return this time. We still use only Cuticura Soap for baby’s bath, Robert Mann, Proctor, Minn, May 3, 1910.” Fatherly Advice. “Now that you are married, my son, listen to me.” “What is it, dad?” “Try to be a husband, not merely an ex-bachelor.” ‘TO DRIVE OUT MAL, SUR RAARE® one exer eee Se ee Se eee Harieen Shy tvoley ang Maes ah cae wenee Perhaps. “Why did Humpty Dumpty sit on the wall?” “He probably thought he could hold it down.” USE ALLEN'S FOOT-FASE the Antizeple powder to be Spsuen into the shoes fordred, aching feet Ietakeathe sing ontot corns ana banlons and maxes walking a deligh Sold Overywitere, Seu, Kefure ubetitutee For PRES SisY package, adarecs Ac Olmeted, Le Rey, Ne If it were not for their long faces some people have an idea the world wouldn't know they were religious.

Historic Event Celebrated, Australia recently commemorated the one hundred and forty-first annt- yersary of Captain Cook’s first land- ing. It was in 1770 that H. M.S. En- Ceavor, a barque of 370 tons, entered the inlet first called Sting Rays Har- bor, but afterwards Botany Bay, from the beauty and varlety of the plants growing about its shore. The vessel remained eight days, and before she left the British flag was hoisted. As is the custom on each recurring annt- versary, the flag was again unfurled upon the spot where it was first dis- played, and was saluted by the guns of the warships in the harbor.

RARE FORMS OF MARINE LIFE Beaked Whales and West Indian Echinoids Are Described in the Bulletins of the National Museum. The United States National museum has issued two bulletins in the quartet series. Of these the first, Bulletin 73 is "An account of the beaked whales of the family Ziphidae in the collection of the United States National museum, with remarks on some specimens in other American museums," by Dr. Frederick W. True, head curator of the department of biology in the United States National museum. The beaked whales are among the rarest cetaceans and of the three genera only specimens representing about 100 individuals are known. The three genera in the family Ziphidae are Mesoplodon, Ziphius and Beradius, and to the discussions of these with their individual species Doctor True has devoted his attention. The second of these bulletins, No. 74, is "On Some West Indian Echinoids," by the well known authority, Theodore Mortenson of the Zoological museum of Copenhagen, Denmark. Of special interest in this bulletin is the list of North American and West Indian Echinoids, which he has carefully compiled from the specimens obtained by the Blake and the Albatross. The bulletin is beautifully illustrated by 16 full-page plates of these interesting forms of marine life. If you want to be the whole thing, you must attend the Monday night dancing academy every Monday night. Managed by Prof. J. H. Sayles. 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. "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 plano that weighs 600 pounds. Tie Zip to it with a rope and he will pull it all over the room." ```markdown ``` They'll Treat You Right TRADE WITH OUR ADVERTISERS They'll Treat You Right Special Attention Given To Canine Practice answered - Day or Night Wildes Econ & Dentist 1 Hospital In the City Office and Hospital 230 N. Market St., Wichita Women's Sweet Laughter. Women's Sweet Laughter. A woman has no natural grace more bewitching than a sweet laugh. It is like the sound of flutes on the water; it leaps from her heart in a clear sparkling rill, and the heart that hears it feels as if bathed in the cool exhilarating spring. How much we owe to that sweet laugh! It turns the prose of our life into poetry; it flings showers of sunshine over the dark some wood in which we are travelling; it touches with light our sleep which is no more the image of death, but gemmed with dreams that are the shadow of immortality.—Exchange 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 at this decoration there was additional pleasure in the sight, as one stood at the head of the Prospekt Nevska, of Charlemagne Tower, brilliantly illuminated, looming grand and imposing against the winter sky."—Success Magazine. BAD NOTES EASILY DETECTED Almost Impossible to Impose Upon Handlers of Money. Incidentally it is interesting to note that the skill which enables one to detect a counterfeit comes not from study of counterfeits, but from a tough and unconscious familiarity with the genuine. If a man were pointed out to you and you were told that some day another who much resembled him would try to impose upon you, you would be pretty apt to fix his features in your mind; you would not spend any time looking at other people who looked something like him, would you? And the moment the impostor appeared you would note that in this, that or the other particular he failed to meet the details of the other man's face and figure. Just so it is in the detection of counterfeit. A skillful teller in a bank, counting money rapidly, will involuntarily throw out a note which in the slightest degree departs from the well-known pattern which is so strongly impressed on his mental vision. That involuntary act will nearly always prove to have been justified, for the bill in 19 cases out of 20 will prove to be a counterfeit.
