THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT :: You Can Save Money By Trading With The Merchants Who Advertise In This Paper :: Negro Man Accused Of Grave Charge. Mr. Wm Thomas a young man who recently moved to Wichita, from Elreno Okla. is under arrest charged with assault with attempt to rape on one Mrs. Chas. Tucker on South Tremont, Mr. Thomas came to this city early in January and has been in the employ of the Wells Fargo Express Company since January 27 and was on duty with said firm at the time the crime is alleged to have been committed and the time of his arrest—Mr. Thomas is a married man living in the north east part of the city and from the evidence of the neighbors in the immediate vicinity is respectable and well beloved. Too much credit can not be given to the Attorney Five Employees of the Wells Fargo Co.; none of whom believ Thomas to be guilty—for the interest they have taken in his behalf. They have secured the services of Houston and Brooks—to defend him—the preliminary was set for last Saturday morning the state was not ready as it was claimed Mrs. Tucker was not able to appear but was strange to say Judge Dyer scarcely finished redocketing the case when Mrs. Tucker and officer Standbridge entered the court room—the preliminary was postponed till Saturday March 16th The officials of the Company say Thomas was at the office at 2:40 p. m. and went direct to Santa Fe Depot and was seen there at about 2:45 making it impossible for him to have left the Wells Fargo offices at 2:40 and gone down to south Tremont commit an assault at 2:45 and thence to the depot by 2:50. It is substantially believed that this is a case trumped up against Thomas because of his refusing some of the women in the neighborhood of the stables the use of the phone-one of these women is quite certain he is the right man because she says she has known him and seen him around for about eight months, while it is a fact he has been in town less than three 3, months, Mr. Phillips of the Wells Fargo Co. has written several letters of enquiry to Elreno, as to his character and standing, several business men have recommended him highly, the follow- ing letter was sent by Mr. C. L. Sharp General Foreman of the Rock lsland lines where Thomas worked before coming to Wichita, "Mr. B. F. Phillips, Dear Sir; I am in receipt of a letter from you under date of March 6th, in behalf of a Negro named Wm, Thomas who is accused of crime of which you feel he is not guilty of. This man was employed here in the capacity of Fireman for over two years and we always found him a first-class worker and as far as we know a straight forward man he attended strict to business while employed by our company. Any further comments I may make which would assist you in the matter I would be glad to do so——Sineerely Yours C. L. Sharp Gen, Foreman It is very evedent that Thomas is not guilty, a number of prominent colored men are interesting themselves to see that he gets justice. We wait the result of the preliminary and in our next issue you will hear from us. CARD OF THANKS. To All Whom it may Concern. With a heart, like a vessel filled with love for a dear companion and now almost shattered by the monster death yet bound by the ties of christian fellowship as expressed in the many tokens of respect and sympathy entend by the host of friends in these sad hours of my bereavement, I take this opportunity to return sincere thanks to all, and acknowledge I cannot find words that will truely explain just how deeply grateful I feel for the resolutions letters and floral offerings, presented to us in the loss of my dear companion.

Sanford, ,, S W. Jones, Personally Conducted By JOHN WARDER (Copyright, 1911, by Associated Literary Press.) Brigham Bennington Brown was the name pronounced at the batsimal font, but when at last he arrived in the office of the T. C. & S. as assistant superintendent of construction, he had achieved the sourbriquet of Turtle, not because of his slowness, but because of the persistence with which he clung to an object. "Bulldog" had first been proposed, but Burton, observing the play of the lean, sinewy neck in the loose turn-down celluloid collar had suggested Snapping Turtle as a better name and this had been condensed to Turtle. Burton had brought Turtle back from the west when T. C. & S. had called him to build the $8-mile feeder to the trunk line. notify dispatcher of a with Mr. Burton and B. B. Brown." The traffic manager chair and called the dis In the end the order start the special again track as soon as Bro sight. Then the traffic ma again and went off to probable that Brown her train and seeing a siding had dropped gate. By morning he town and the road w forget the train for a When the traffic ma his office and found a The trunk line had long had it in mind to build a feeder itself. Once a preliminary survey had been made, but some objectionable legislation had caused the abandonment of the scheme until the proper law-givers could be "seen" and meanwhile the charter of the independent line had been passed over the heads of the railroad party in the two houses. Burton had been sent for in a hurry and had been given instructions that at all hazards the line must be ready in time. Burton, working up and down the line, scowled at the slow progress and at the gangs sitting idle while waiting the arrival of more material and at last he sought out the president. "The M. & G. people are turning a dirty trick," he stormed. "They say that they are doing all they can to rush the material through and yet it is certain that they are letting our cars loaf. The steel for that bridge across the Canscott should have been here two weeks ago. It has not even reached the M. & G. yet. It is stalled somewhere along the A. & W. The A. & W. is really a part of the M. & G. system and they are deliberately holding it back." "But the railroad people say that they are doing their very best," said President Severn, mildly. "I have your authority to speak?" demanded Burton. "If necessary," assented the president, and with a blunt leave-taking Burton slipped from the room. He had 10 minutes in which to make the next train to the headquarters of the company in New York and that afternoon he had an interview with the traf- Knowing that the steel was still in the hands of the A. & W. and that it was likely that it would stay there until after the time limit had expired, the president of the M. & G. readily enough gave Burton an order to all employees of his road requiring them to expedite in every manner the delivery o. the rails. Then he bowed Burton out and dictated a letter to the president of the A. & W. explaining the situation and asking that delivery to his road be delayed until after a certain date. Before the latter read the letter the following morning he had already given Burton a letter similar to the one the construction man had obtained at his first interview on the supposition that the M. & G. would attend to the proper delay when the freight passed to their yards. Armed with these two letters Turtle was already speeding toward the steel country and by evening he had located the missing steel. It had all been side tracked at a minor town where the yard officials were doing their best to forget its existence, but Turtle and the letter from the president roused their memories, and Turtle, sitting in the cab of the shunting engine, pleked up the detached cars and made up a special before word came from the headquarters in New York. The wires warmed under the discussion that went on, but in the end the office was forced to admit that the subordinate had only done their duty. "We'll lose that train somewhere along the road," he said with a fresh outburst of laughter. "Burton will start for home secure in the belief that the train will follow and every time he comes back after it, it will take two of three days to get it started again." "It's not Burton," explained the president, "but some young cub of his. B. B. Brown." The traffic manager smiled. He dimly remembered B. B. Brown, a mild-mannered, inoffensive sort of young fellow. "I guess we can handle B. B. Brown," he wired back with a grin. "You might send word to the dispatcher's office to run the train in on a sliding somewhere to permit the political special to pass." The office force roared at the sally. The political special was a congressional junktet that was to start on a tour of the country late in the fall, some three months after the T. C. & S. charter became void. Word was sent to the dispatcher and the traffic manager went home. Late that evening the private telegraph instrument in his house began to click. The traffic manager was an old operator and he had had a wire run to his house. He answered the call and then the key began to click. "Have been side tracked, Tarson, five hours," the message ran. Please notify dispatcher of agreement made with Mr. Burton and release special B. B. Brown." The traffic manager sat back in his chair and called the dispatcher's office. In the end the order was given to start the special again, but to sidetrack as soon as Brown was out of sight. Then the traffic manager smiled again and went off to bed. It was probable that Brown had taken a later train and seeing the special on a siding had dropped off to investigate. By morning he should be in town and the road would be free to forget the train for a couple of days. When the traffic manager came to his office and found a message lying on the desk. It ran: "Delayed at Stepney. Please wire to clear in accordance with agreement with Mr. Burton. B. B. Brown." "What's he doing down there?" demanded the traffic manager of the Stepney operator. "Sitting on a girder and looking at a girl's picture," was the somewhat surprising reply. "He's got enough grub to last him to the North Pole and he won't budge." The girl's picture told the story. Turtle was in love. Burton had told him that the prompt delivery of the steel meant his quick promotion. Promotion meant an early marriage and a brown-eyed girl lent fresh endurance to the Turtle's grip. Turtle had made out a regular contract with the agent where the cars had been located to run: special to Harvale, where the T. C. & S. began. There was no getting away from the contract. Late the next morning, the train pulled into the Jersey City yards and the traffic manager, happening to be on that side of the river, went down to have a look at "B. B. Brown." Turtle greeted him warmly. "I was just going to wire you," he explained. "It seemed that I can't get a float to reach the up State system before tonight. That's the better part of a day gone to waste. You know we have none too much time. Will you please tell them to fix me up." "Freight must wait its regular turn in the yards," explained the traffic manager. "But I have a contract." Turtle's blue eyes were innocently confiding. He had written the contract himself and the agent had used it on the strength of the two letters Turtle had shown. The traffic manager read it carefully. "Did Paulding make this out?" he demanded. Turtle shook his head. "He was rather busy, so I wrote. for him," he explained "He just signed it." The traffic manager regarded him closely, but the pale blue eyes were gazing with mild interest over the navy yard, and the manager did not argue. "I'll have the yard master get you a float," he said sharply, as he turned away. He was as good as his word and what was more important, he explained over the wire to the M. & G. officials the text of Turtle's contract, after firing the signer by telegraph. "The fellow may be a fool," he said wrathfully, "but he's a contract so worded that if we don't hurry him through, he can make a row that will hurt us with the commission. Better pack him through. If you don't you'll get a million telegrams a day from him." So it happened that when the new connection was made, the special was rushed through to Harvale on a passenger schedule and backed onto the T. C. & S. side track. Turtle climbed down from the car and limped over to where Burton was gravely executing a jig in celebration of the victory. "I got 'em here," he reported. "The next time I go after steel, though, I'm going to carry an air pillow. They tried to ride in the caboose, and I've had to sit on girders until I've got the prints of the rivet holes on me." "Good boy," commended Burton. "I knew you could do it. Graves, of the A, & W., called me up and wanted to know if I devised that contract and I told him no. What was it?" Turtle passed over the slip, of paper. "I made it good and strong while I was about it," he said. "You see the agent hadn't been tipped off that those letters I carried were subject to special advice from headquarters and he was ready to sign anything I wrote." Burton read the contract and the grin upon his face broadened. "You showed that to the traffic manager, didn't you?" he asked. Turtle nodded his head. "Graves wants you to come and see him when you're through here?" Burton said. "You fooled him with your innocent gag but I disillusioned him and they have a place for you there when you are ready to take it. I guess you can get married to celebrate the opening of the branch if you want to." "Sure I want to," asserted Turtle. Burton had long ago been taken into his confidence. "I think I'll go on up the road a bit, if you can spare me. I think riding on a Pullman seat will rest me a whole lot." "Go ahead," said Burton with a smile "and give her my congratulations."

Radford, No. 128 West Jackson boulevard Chicago, Ill., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. A very neat and pretty five-room house is this. I sometimes think there is more solid comfort to the square foot in a cottage than there is in a square yard of mansion. You have less work and more genuine satisfaction, because you can make it more homelike. Take a room like this fine, big living room, having a cozy corner walled in with high-backed seats on two sides of a good fireplace for cold evenings, and you have something to remember with great pleasure and satisfaction. Imagine a dog or a cat half asleep on the hearth rug, with the family gathered around, some engaged in reading, some, perhaps, in fancy work, and you have a picture fit for a master artist. Between the porch and the living room there is a large vestibule big enough to contain a coat closet. There are double doors to shut out the cold, and, of course, the outer door is covered with a wire screen door in summer time. The big living room is 14 feet by 18 feet 6 inches, which is extra large, even for a modern living room. The entrance from the living room to the dining room is a little out of the ordinary, and it gives a good opportunity to hang two pairs of curtains, and to secure an unusual effect if the work is nicely done. Placing the stairway in the center of the north side of the house leaves the front open with a clear view from the different windows. A center stairway works better than a front stairway on the second floor as well as on the first floor, for it leaves a fine, big bedroom in the front gable. One reason why this house plan works up so well into large rooms is the fact that the stairway is very compact, just a short, straight flight of steps in the center of the house. Besides connecting the upper and low- No. 7034X er floors, it makes an easy entrance to the cellar from the kitchen. There is a great deal in laying out a stairway so that it will give the greatest amount of convenience for the space occupied. There is also an entrance from the hall to the kitchen, which is a great convenience at times. Coming to the kitchen, we have rather an unusual plan, the kitchen answering the purpose of pantry and kitchen combined. This is a recent idea in house building, and it seems to be growing in favor. It takes less DINING ROOM KITCHEN HALL LIVING ROOM RECEPTION HALL ENTRY PORCH First Floor Plan. room and it requires less steps at meal time. Instead of a pantry, one side of the kitchen is made into cupboards with shelves. These cupboards are deep enough, and the shelves are wide enough to provide a good deal of storage room. The front of this cupboard case, as it might be called, is made up of cupboard doors, so hinged as to open out leaving the entire shelf surface exposed. The shelves themselves, instead of being built in solid, are supported by pegs, so they may be lifted out for cleaning. One objection to cupboards is the difficulty of keeping them clean, but this arrangement --- seems to solve that problem; still, the doors shut over them keep out the dust. The building of smaller houses has made the economy of space necessary. Architects have got busy with new inventions and new ideas, some of which have taken with the public because they mean greater comfort and convenience for the amount of money expended. The front porch with the little boxed-in steps at the corner gives the house an artistic appearance to an unusual degree. There is something about the pitch of the porch roof, its size in proportion to the house, and the neat corners and pillars that BEDROOM 140' X 120' HALL GLASS ALCOVE BEDROOM HEATING Second Floor Plan. stamps the whole house with an air of refinement. It is seldom you see a porch that so thoroughly fits the house as this one. The size of this little house is 29 feet 6 inches in width by 35 feet 6 inches in length, exclusive of porches, which is rather large on the ground, as houses are built nowadays, but not large when you consider that it is only a cottage in height. Such a house is easily heated with a hot air furnace, which is the most sensible way to heat a small house, because you get both heat and ventilation. But you must take the cold air from outdoors and not from some room in the house or from the cel lar. Outside air contains a good deal of moisture. It loses a portion of the moisture in passing through the furnace. If you pass it through several times it loses practically all of its moisture, and the effect on your breathing apparatus is very noticeable if you are a little out of condition. All air is germ laden. Most germs are beneficial, but unfortunately the air also contains germs that are detrimental and some that are positively dangerous. If our vitality is what it should be, the worst germs cannot injure us seriously. Codl will not kill disease germs; heat will not kill them until you get well up toward the temperature of boiling water. The warmth of the human lungs seems to be about right to encourage their most rapid development, and unless they are expelled in large quantities, they are likely to increase in numbers sufficient to make trouble. Pneumonia and consumption are cured, if cured at all, by sleeping outdoors, or in the house with a window wide open. When a man feels economical enough to take the air from the inside of the house to pass it through the furnace, he is also careful enough to keep all the doors and windows closed. That is one of the strongest reasons why a furnace should not be fed with interior air. Steam heating and hot water heating plants should always have in connection a ventilating system. New houses usually have flues for the purpose. Some people will kill themselves in any kind of a house with any sort of a heating system; others will have fresh air in spite of difficulties. This house will cost, complete, about $2,000, possibly a trifle more. It will be found a very satisfactory design, both as, to outward appearance, and interior arrangement. Unnatural Result "We froze him out." "How did he take it?" "He got hot." AT THE WICHITA THEATRES. The "Heart-Breakers," the new Adams-Hough musical comedy which will be seen at the New Crawford Wednesday, March 20th, comes direct from its summer run at Manager Mort H. Singer's pretty play house, the Princess Theatre. George Damerel will be seen in the leading part, that of "The Master;" others in the cast are Miss Ruth Peebles, who is known as one of the foremost prima donnas in our stage, Agnes Scott, Louise Meyers, Edward Hume, Chas, Horn, Harry Paul and Justin Cooper. Needless to say that the sprightly singing and dancing chorus that has made the Singer attractions famons the country over will be along in abundance. A fascinating story is built about an organization of young men who seek to revenge jiltings, by kissing the young women who have wounded their hearts. In seeking revenge upon one particular girl, the leader of the organization loses his own heart. The Chicago American seems to sum up the "Heart-Breakers" in the statement that it is a spring-scented, June-time play. There is an atmosphere which is found only in mellow June moons." The Inter-Ocean refers to the Singer production as "a nervously active, well-judged, riotous charge upon the strongholds of boredom and weariness." And the Evening Post says "the 'Heart-Breakers' in many respects the most ambitious of all the Singer offerings." There are numerous song hits, among them being "Somewhere She's Flirting With Someone," "The Songs You Used to Sing to the Girls You Used to Love," "I If I Had a Hundred Hearts," "I'd Leave My Honeymoon for You," and "My Honolulu Honey Lou." There are two acts, the first taking place at the Saxon Club in New York and the second at Munger Castel in the Adirondacks. "The Chorus Lady.' One of the offerings at the Auditorium in the near future will be James Forbes' comedy, "The Chorus Lady." This is the play in which Miss Rose Stahl was starred for so many seasons and the theater-going public was very reluctant in allowing her to withdraw from the cast to take up her role in her present success "Maggie Pepper." Wichita patrons of the Wolfe Stock can expect to see Jane Morgan in one of the best. If not the best part she has ever portrayed. The date of the production will be announced soon. The process by which the ostrich is made to give up its plumes for the adorning of women is said to cause the long legged bird no more discomfort than a man experiences in having his hair cut. The feathers are clipped off about an inch from the body, and in about a month the stump of the quill comes out quite easily. Ancient English Inn.

Armed with a .22 rifle he took a position in a barn a block from the main business corner of Pittsburg and waited for victims. J. W. Noland, a miner, with whom the boy was angry, was the first to pass. The boy fired and Noland staggered a few yards and fell. The bullet had penetrated his abdomen.

WILEY IS ABOUT TO RESIGN PURE FOOD CHAMPION TO EDIT MAGAZINE. Has Asked Appointment of Successor Who Will Carry Out Work He Has Begun. Washington, D. C.—Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry in the department of agriculture, has decided to resign his office and accept lucrative business offers which he has had under consideration for several weeks. There have been rumors of such an intention on his part during the last fortnight, but they have been positively denied by Dr. Wiley. The considerations which are said to have led to Dr. Wiley's determination to sever his connection with the government service are that he has received an offer of a large salary to become editor of a well known magazine. At the same time he is to have what is the equivalent of another large salary from his engagements on the lecture platform, where he is today one of the most popular speakers. In view of the exceptionally large income offered, Dr. Wiley finds it practically unavoidable to comply. He has given nearly 30 years of the best of his life to the public service, and has accomplished for the American people a work that is monumentally great in its purpose, scope and completeness. It is understood that Dr. Wiley will not give up his work immediately, as he is desirous of obtaining the appointment of a successor who will carry forward his life work along the same lines of protection to the public. He has indicated his preferences to Secretary Wilson, but thus far has had no assurances that his recommendations will be accepted. The appointment is in the power of the secretary of agriculture.

MENNONITES WERE SWINDLED MENNONITES WERE SWINDLED MANY IN KANSAS AND OKLA- HOMA LOST FARMS. Russian Real Estate Dealer of Hills- boro Promoted Colony in Colorado. Topeka, Kansas.—An alleged swine dle perpetrated upon a considerable number of Mennonite farmers in Kansas and members of that faith in Oklahoma has just now come to light by the filing of a suit here for the collection of a number of notes formerly held by the Bank of Topeka and later purchased by C. E. Gault. Henry J. Martins, a Russian, who lived at Hillsboro, Kan., is a fugitive from justice. At Hillsboro he conducted a real estate office until about three years ago, when he conceived the idea of establishing a Mennonite colony in southern California. He told his plans to the Mennonites, who trusted him the more freely because he was of their race and spoke their mother tongue. Martins represented to the Mennonites of McPherson county and also to a Mennonite colony in Oklahoma that he was the owner of a large tract of land near Los Angeles. He took large numbers of Mennonites to California on excursions, conducted by himself, to show them the land he wanted them to settle upon. After a brief visit to the land, to which he had no title or claim, he would take his party to San Francisco and Portland and back to Kansas. Impressed by Martins' scheme, about 20 Mennonite families in McPhrson and about 30 in Oklahoma decided to move to California. They traded their farms to Martins in exchange for tracts of land in California, or so they supposed, and gave him promissory notes for the balance of the purchase price of the California property. He is said to have defrauded Mennonites in Kansas and Oklahoma out of 150 quarter sections of land, which were valued at from $3,000 to $7,000 a quarter section. In addition he obtained notes representing large sums. The notes he deposited with banks as collateral for loans and failed to redeem them, while he disposed of the Mennonite lands.

Naftzger was charged with disposing of stolen postage stamps for John Callahan, the bank and post-office robber, now serving time in the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan. ARRESTED THREE BARN BURNERS Two White Men and a Negro Taken Destroyed Horses and Mules Worth $1,500. Chanute, Kansas.—John Harkness and Wesley Neilley, white men, and George Miller, a negro, were arrested by the police immediately following the destruction of a horse barn by fire at 12:30 a. m. The barn was owned by J. Hawkins of Kansas City and the horses and mules which were burned by Charles Harkness of Chanute, whose loss will be at least $1,500. The police had been warned that the barn would be burned. The three men arrested had been drinking and had been watched by the police earlier in the night. Topeka's Hermit Dead. Topeka, Kas.—Robert McGinnis. Topeka's hermit, was found dead in the little hut he called home here. He had been dead for some time when found.

While his home was in the heart of Topeka it is said that no one had crossed his threshold in the twenty-eight years he had lived there. McGinnis came to Kansas about 1859 from Illinois. He still owns the property he bought at that time, and it is said that he is worth about $50,000. Maneuvers This Fall Washington—Officials of the war department state that the joint maneuvers scheduled for Fort Riley may not take place until late in September.

It takes indeed a little thing! When Love, the servant and the king, Resoives to right the wrong. It takes indeed a little thing. To tune the heart to song! Most housekeepers hardly appreciate the value of dried fruits. They are much more wholesome for the children's eating than the sweet preserves and canned fruit that is considered necessary in nearly all homes. One of the mistakes of the housewife in her lack of appreciation is that she doesn't cook such fruits long enough to develop the flavor, so they think they are tasteless and unpalatable, and give up serving them at all. The secret of delicous dried fruit is long, slow cooking. The fireless cooker is an ideal place to cook dried fruits. Wash the fruit thoroughly in a little warm water, to remove all foreign matter. Put on to soak over night, or boil about five minutes rapidly, and put into the fireless cooker to remain over night. A dish of well-cooked prunes with a little cream and some bread and butter makes, with an egg, an ideal breakfast for a small child. When the fruit is taken from the cooker each piece will be swelled to its original size, unbroken and full of the juicy, aromatic flavor of fresh fruit, so much in advance of the flat, insplid product of the tin canned variety. Peas, beans and lentils are all treated in this manner, and are cheaper, besides being fully as satisfactory as the canned. Taploca and sago are delicious desserts combined with dried stewed fruits. In cooking taploca with dried fruits put it to bake, and stir occasionally, adding water if it seems too dry. Serve with cream and sugar. This makes a nice dessert for children who must carry their luncheon to school. Prunes flavored with a bit of lemon juice and sugar, rolled into buns or rolls are especially liked by the children for luncheon. A FIERY mist and a planet A crystal and a cell A jelly fish and a saurius And a cave where the cave men dwell Then a sense of law and beauty A wave from the clod Some call it evolution Others call it God. DISHES WORTH TRYING. The following is a recipe for bread which is very acceptable for a change: Roxbury Bread.—Take a half cup of molasses, a half cup of sugar, a half cup of sour milk, one egg, a third of a cup of drippings, two teaspoonfuls of soda, two teaspoonfuls of salt, one and three-fourths of flour, three-fourths of a cup of raisins, two teaspoonfuls of clnamon, one teaspoonful of cloves and twenty-four walnut meats, broken in pieces. Bake in a loaf and cut when cold. Fine for sandwiches. Dip marshmallows in the white of an egg, roll in cocoanut and set in the oven until puffed. Fermenty is whole wheat mixed with a few dates, raisins or figs and served as a breakfast food. Caramels—Cook together a cup of molasses and a half cup of sweet cream until it rattles in the cup of cold water when tried, then add a tablespoonful of butter and a cup of grated coconut. Pour out and cool. Graham Pudding—This is a whole-some pudding, which may be given to the children, and is one to keep on hand for unexpected company: Into a quart of boiling water stir enough graham flour to make a thick mush. Add a cup of sugar, a pound of dates cut up, a pound of figs, add a half cupful of nuts after cooking in a double boiler for a half day. Turn into a mold and serve cold in slices, with whipped cream. Nellie Marwell. The Other Cheek, and Then the Mix. The pastor of an Oklahoma church took his pulpit on a recent Sunday with both eyes black and his nose and lips cut. He had led a winning fight for the possession of the property. Recalling a story of Opie Read's: A fighting parson in Tennessee got into an altercation with a man who either did not know that his opponent was a clergyman or had forgotten it. Early in the fight the layman landed a hard swing on the preacher's jaw. The preacher dropped his guard and turned his face, receiving another corker. "That's where the Bible stops," said he, removing his coat. As to Aerial Travel The Doctor—There is nothing new under the sun. You don't suppose the Wright brothers were the first to solve the problem of sailing through the air, do you? The Professor—By no means. Didn't you ever hear of Lady Brassey's "Voyage in the Sunbeam?" HEALTH FOR THE CHILD. The careful mother, watching closely the physical peculiarities of her children, soon learns that health is in a great measure dependent upon normal, healthy, regular bowel action. When the bowels are inactive, loss of appetite, restlessness during sleep, irritability and a dozen and one similar evidences of physical disorder are soon apparent. Keep the bowels free and clear and good health is assured. At the first sign of constipation give the child a teaspoonful of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin at bed-time and repeat the dose the following night, if necessary. You will find the child will quickly recover its accustomed good spirits, and eat and sleep normally. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is far preferable to salts, cathartics and purgative waters which are harsh in their action. Syrup Pepsin acts on the bowels easily and naturally, yet positively, and causes no griping or discomfort. Its tonic properties build up the stomach, liver and bowels, restoring their normal condition. Druggists everywhere sell Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin in 50c and $1.00 bottles. If you have never tried this remedy, send for a sample to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 201 Washington St., Monticello, Ill. He will gladly send a trial bottle without any expense to you whatever.

The Arabs went wild, mounted their horses, and rode on the whistling enemy. They had to be caimed with the whistling of rifle balls.

It turns the prose of our life into poetry; it flings showers of sunshine over the dark some wood in which we are traveling; it touches with light our sleep which is no more the image of death, but gemmed with dreams that are the shadow of tame women —Exchange.

It has been asserted that the Greeks in the days of Homer manufactured sausages, but this prehistoric mixture had nothing in common with our modern product. The ancient so-called sausage was composed of the same materials which enter into the make-up of the boudin of the French market and the blood pudding of the French-Canadian. The ancient sausage was enveloped in the stomachs of goats. Not until in the 19th century did the sausage made of hashed pork become known. It was in or near the year 1500 that, thanks to the introduction into Germany of cinnamon and saffron, the sausages of Frankfort and Strasburg acquired a universal reputation.

CEPT for purely commercial forestry, I am sure our people would not want our forests to be like those I saw this year during an extensive trip over the German forests, where only three out of over two hundred forests were by natural reproduction, all the rest being planted. For the lumberman these forests, located XCEPT for purely commercial forestry, I am sure our people would not want our forests to be like those I saw this year during an extensive trip over the German forests, where only three out of over two hundred forests were by natural reproduction, all the rest being planted. For the lumberman these forests, located right handy to good transportation and continually producing an annual yield, would be ideal, for the trees grow so straight that everything from the three-inch thinnings up to the sixteen-inch full-grown trees are marketable at profitable rates and have their use in the economy of the national life of Germany. The trees reach sixteen-inch diameter in sixty-year revolutions, are protected from fire along the railroad right-of-way by fire borders and have but little fire risk and no patrol expenses, as something is always going on in nearly all the sections so that there are plenty of woodsmen about to head off incipient fires. When we get a same system of state forest taxation taxing only the value of the yearly thinnings and the final forest crop, such forestry will become an estab- Scarlet Oak. Scarlet Oak. come an estab- lished commercial enterprise with us, whereas our present system of taxing annually the entire value of the stand is most unjust and one of the biggest hindrances to the introduction of commercial forestry in place of our present speculative lumbering. The Prussians have worked out commercial forestry to a mathematical science. They know to a dot just how long a given forest of klefer, or sylvester pine, will take to reach maturity, just how much thinning is best and when to do it, just the right age and soil for the plantations, every known disease of the tree and its remedy, and just where to market every splinter of it at maximum profit. And their government encourages them with compulsory fire protection from the railroads and and in the of Saxony and the hardwoods of Hesse and Westphalia, so that they make from $5.50 an acre per year in the spruce of Wurtemburg to $2.50 in the sylvester pine forests of Prussia, and the annual yield from but thirty-five million acres of forest is four and one-half billion board feet! But we are far from any such exact knowledge of our tree species as this, and we have over a hundred species where they use but seven. And it is a well-known fact that many of our experiments in clear cutting and planting have so far failed. After ten or twelve successive generations of foresters have studied out our best species for pure stand raising and we have, as it were, grown up with our forests and know them as do the older nations, this system will be applicable on a large scale with us. It is being applied now to a certain extent with white pine, as witness the numerous successful, though young, stands of white pine in New England. The total area of planted forest with us is now about 1,100,000 acres. The total land that would yield best on planted forests is more than 56,000,000 acres. The French system of futale regulaire, or standard forest, is the more likely one for us to use, or rather to grow into, for we are in for at least fifty years of selective forests before any extensive use of standard forest can be introduced. In the French system three cuts are necessary when the forest reaches maturity: The seeding cut is first made, letting in sun on the forest floor, and varying in amount widely, depending upon the species of the tree. The next fall of seeds from the seeding trees results in a dense floor of young shoots, for the sun's warmth is present to germinate and to feed the young trees with sunlight. Then follows the secondary cut, when the trees have reached the age of five years and are tough enough to allow cutting operations without too many of them being killed. This cut takes nearly all the old trees, leaving enough to protect the young thicket from wind, frost and drought. The terminal cut follows when the young trees reach about ten years of age, and takes the last of the old stand. First thinning begins five years later and continues every ten years until the main stand ```markdown ``` reaches maturity. The thinning cuts are worth about one-third the value of the final crop. This little outline will give an idea of how much knowledge and judgment is demanded of the forester. Unless he knows exactly what he is doing, the method is dangerous and apt to result in failure of the reproduction, requiring excessive planting. In France successive generations of forests have worked it out to a worked it out to a Red Oak. science for the eight species of trees that are used in their forestry operations. We will accumulate this experience for our own species in time. But the kind of forestry which we can begin to practice right now, both in woodlots and in White Oak. man has no terrors for you, there is no reason why you should not set it out in white pine, or sylvester pine, or whatever species your state forester specifies as suitable for the soil and climate. Keep cattle and running fires out of the woodlot, plant out your spare acorns every chance you get, use up the weed trees for cordwood, and take out worthless trees wherever they are crowding the young oaks, and you will soon be in a fair way to own a valuable oak stand. The same is true of small forest tracts of a few hundred acres, the ideal sportsman's retreat. You can practice an immense amount of culture forestry during your hunts and camps and wanderings about your tract. Here and there will be predominating areas of valuable species which only need a little encouragement to take up the whole land. You are always using firewood out of the tract. Make that firewood pay by planting the room each tree leaves with a half-dozen oak or pine seeds, or, better, keep a little nursery of white pines and white oaks and draw from it as you take out worthless stuff. A white pine twelve years old is a very respectable little specimen twenty feet high and three inches across the butt. In six years it is higher than your head, and wants at least twenty square feet of room, so, before you know it, was once a clump of soft maples and white birches is now a thicket of thrifty young pines. As regards the oaks, a sharp stick and your heel is all they need to put the acorn down two inches into the mulch. There ought to be one seedling every ten paces, with a reasonable chance at the sun, all over that part of your forest where oaks are wont to grow. As the oaks are the most important family of the hardwoods, and one in which every sportsman is interested, I will just run over in review the most widely distributed members of the family in our country. We are blessed with many species, suitable to all kinds of soils and climates. At the head of the family stands the white oak, quercus alba, the noblest tree in our forests. You will know him by the familiar deeply notched leaf with nine regular lobes disposed four on a side with one at the end. Along in October it turns a fine copper color and then brown, hanging on all winter, so that, when snow is on the ground, if you see a patch of brown foliage amid the bare tree trunks, it's either a white oak or a beech. Look under the tree in early October or late September and find the long oval acorn, brown and light yellow. They grow usually in pairs with a rough knobby cup, not sealed, bowl shaped. The bark is light gray, some what t rough and young trees have many little tufts of twigs up and down the trunk, which will develop into side branches if the least sun gets down to them. The wood is strong and fine—no comparison with such a brassy specimen as the red oak. Just try the two with a plane and saw, and report on the difference in working. None but sharp-edged tools need apply with white oak. In forestry the white oak, that is, its equivalent quercus robur is grown, pure, in big for- KING GEORGE'S MAIL BAG All letters addressed to the king and queen of England are sent direct to whichever of the royal residences they are occupying from the general postoffice in London in specially sealed bags, says the Strand. In the case of Buckingham palace, this bag arrives, as a rule, just as his majesty is finishing dinner, and is taken charge of by the secretary on duty, who opens it and proceeds to sort out the contents. Such letters as will ultimately demand the personal attention of King George are placed before him the same night, but it is not often that he deals with them at the moment, save in matters that will not brook delay. He glances through them, makes a few brief notes upon them, and they are then placed under lock and key until he is ready for them on the following morning. He has barely had time to deal with these before the royal breakfast is served and almost simultaneously an even larger bag of correspondence arrives. Only those who have been called upon to handle them can realize the vastness of the royal postbags, the contents of which often range from a private communication from some amable lunatic who considers that his claim to the British throne is superior to that of King George. By the organization of a well nigh perfect system, however, this heavy correspondence is dealt with in remarkably quick time. Lord Stamfordham, should he be on duty, opens every communication, and, glancing at it, places the bulk of it in the large crimson small private tracts, is a combination of the French system with ordinary selective forestry, that is, taking out ripe trees here and there as they mature. If you have a fair sprinkling of good oaks on your woodlot, there is no reason why you should not encourage them a little by giving them a chance to extend. If you have a tract of barren land hardly pastureage and for which the tax Fig. 1. Black Jack. White Oak. seeds. When sure that the reproduction has been acquired, proceed with the secondary cut, taking but one tree in two to three, more or less, depending upon whether spring frosts are to be feared. A secondary cut may be necessary in the judgment of the forester, two years later, before proceeding with the final cut. Clearance of the seedlings is almost always necessary, as the young oak is slow and apt to be beaten out by young beeches and maples during the first few years of its infancy. Thinning: Up to the age of low thickets the stand can be left very dense, but from that time on proceed drastically in favor of the dominant trees, intervening when you see culture necessary to aid them, and in general leaving enough of the dominated and suppressed trees to protect the trunks of your dominants—the trees of the future. Return in ten years, or earlier if conditions are favorable, and take out all dead and dominated trees, and all of the dominants that are getting crooked or being left behind, the rule being to keep the tops of your best trees always with a little space to meet in, which space is filled with second stage dominated trees. Leave in the beech sub-growth and any other tolerant trees which add leaf-fall to the humus. The trees will reach eight inches diameter in thirty years and you will thin about one hundred per acre every trip. From that time on they add a great deal more to their volume every year, since they grow a new ring all around the trunk, which by this time is over two feet in circumference. Of course, as you will start with a forest with some grown trees on it, you will arrange it so as to always have some mature cutting to do, as well as thinning cuts on all other sections. The management of a forest is always a paying proposition, so long as you choose to keep at it, and while you will never see the final crops cut of the sections that you regenerated, you have had a good deal of business out of the old forest and the thinning cuts on the new, and your forest or woodlot has increased in value, not deteriorated, under your hands. Closely allied to the white oak, and sold with it, is the Swamp White Oak, quercus bicolor, good for your wet soils and creek bottoms. Know it by the heavy-ended, slightly lobed leaf, and the rather small bottle-shaped acorns, in pairs on a stem anywhere from an inch to three inches long. The leaf is something like that of the black jack, but the acorn, the bark and the size of the tree will prevent confusing it. A third tree in the white oak class is the Burr Oak, but with harder and Burr Oak. tougher wood. It is also called the over-cup oak, technical name quercus macrocarpa. Leaf has a big lobed head with two very deep notches about half-way down. Bark of twigles always has corky wings, and the acorn is very large with scaly, fringed cup. This tree grows across the whole United States to Montana, as far south as the latitude of New York City, parallel 40 degrees. All these white oaks will grow sylviculturally under the same treat- leather basket labeled with the tenor of the epistle. Thus invitations to undertake public functions of one description or another go into one basket, charitable appeals into another, the official report of the proceedings of the two houses of parliament into a smaller basket, letters of a personal character into a fourth, and so on. At the finish there is a small but highly important little pile left. This is composed of letters from the rulers of other states, personal reports from our ambassadors abroad or communications from ministers at home. These never for one instant leave the custody of whoever is intrusted with the task of opening them. There is a special box standing on the table with a slit in the top of it wide enough to take any paper. It is fastened with a patent lock, of which only the king, Lord Knollys and Lord Stamfordham have the keys. These are the first letters that are presented to the king every morning, together with a memorandum reminding him of the duties he has to perform that day. In many cases the king elects to write letters in reply with his own hand, but should this not be convenient he sends for one of his secretaries and dictates his reply. His majesty is by no means a quick thinker and likes to ponder over every word that he proposes to place on paper. In this respect he presents a curious contrast to his late father, who would reply to the most important letter in a few seconds. ests in Europe. Seeding cut somber, giving a quite shady forest floor with not very many trees removed, and be careful to do it evenly so that no very open spaces are left. Scratching up the humus with the three tined forest rake to allow the acorns to find plenty of crevices to drop into is imperative just before the fall of the acorns. Seeding should be completed in one fall of Burr Oak. Burr Oak. LY BY n H. Miller Y FIELD AND STREAM ment, and all seed annually. The flowers are miserable little catkins of green, pin-headed flowerets, in clusters of four or five catkins on a sheaf. No forest would be complete without a few specimens of the chestnut-oak family. If you pick up a leaf with scalloped edges and find a big acorn with long oval nut, over an inch long, with fine, scalp cup, that's q. prinus, the Chestnut oak. It has very strong, hard wood, durable in soil and water, used for fencing and railroad ties. Bark is fine for tanning operations and it grows well as simple or standard coppice, as described in my previous series on European Forestry. Another form of chestnut oak is known as-Yellow oak, with a leaf startlingly like the chestnut itself, but the acorn gives it away. The illustration shows a representative leaf. Both the chestnut oak are annual seeders and their value in forestry is the is best in the shape of tan-bark conpice. ```markdown ``` A widely distributed and interesting oak, but of no value in forestry is the Black Jack. You will know it at sight by the blunt-ended leaf with three lobes, rough black bark (smooth higher up the tree) and small stemless a corn with scaly cup. As a woodsman, put it down in put it down in Swamp White Oak. your memory against the time you want a very hard wood. Otherwise leave it severely alpine, except to clean it out as a forest weed. It belongs to the bristle-tipped and pointed-leaved families of oaks, of which the red oak is the representative and most valuable species. Seeding is biennial. Sylvicultural treatment of red oak about the same as white oak, except that the seeding cut must be a trifle more open. The red oak is claimed to be a faster grower than the white and it certainly overtops it and crowds it out in direct competition. I am of the opinion, however, that if the white oak is given an equal amount of sunlight it will give a crop of mature trees within ten years of the corresponding plantation of red oak. From the carpenter's point of view there is no comparison between it and the white oak, nor is there when it comes to market value as the white commands nearly double the figure. Personally I find red oak much easier to work, rather brashy, and now where near so strong as the white. It is a hardy, aggressive grower in the forest, and you will know it by its large, dark-green, shiny, pointed, lobed leaves and its big blunt acorn with the flat saucerlike cup. This acorn is the distinguishing feature, as the black oak has a very similar leaf but its acorn is half enclosed in a green, scaly cup. The red oak has the smoothest bark of any of them, nearly black, greenish tinged on the north side. Leaves turn a deep red, late in October. Now that white oak is getting so high priced the red is used a great deal in interior house trim. It will grow on dry soils, which fact often decides its choice as the forest species when choosing between it and white oak. Its cousin the black oak, and the scarlet oak, q. cocinea, are so like it in leaf that all that can be said is that the leaf is more deeply notched and heavier-velined. You must look to the acorn to be sure. Both scarlet and black have a deep-cupped, scaly acorn, and the inner bark of the black oak is orange-yellow, making a fine dye, used in medicine as querctron and in the industries for tanning. Wood sells as "red oak." The scarlet oak is a much smaller tree, growing best in plenty of sunlight; inner bark reddish, kernel of the acorn is white while that of the black oak is yellow. Both of them have gorgeous orange and scarlet foliage in October, and are useful for ornamental trees. All through our moist ravines and creek bottoms you will find a tall slender oak, growing in natural pure stands, with a notched, peaky leaf like the red and black oaks. But under the tree you are sure to find abundant small round acorns with shallow cups, almost smooth. The little acorns are half an inch long and very pretty, sometimes with delicate light stripes running longitudinally. This tree is the Pink Oak or water oak, q. palustris. Wood is coarse and not durable; sells as "second" red oak. Pin oak, beech and black gum are, however, the three toughest woods in the forest. Sylviculturally the tree has no value; when you take one out replace it with a swamp white oak, The name pln oak comes from its value for tree nails for house building. Chestnut Oak Two more oaks that have their own peculiarities are the Willow Oak, q. phellos, with tiny scale-cupped acorns and long willow-like leaves, and the Shingle Oak, with perfectly smooth magnolia-like leaves, smooth bark and small shallow-cupped acorns. Both of these woods split easily, and the willow oak is tough Chestnut Oak. low oak is tough and pliable when none better can be had for the purpose. In conclusion, I would mention the Post Oak of the Southwest, the "white" oak of that section, deeply lobed (seven); strong wood; small, sweet acorn, scale-cupped. THE NEW FRENCH REMEDY. No.1. No.2.

Writing from the vicinity David Harum made famous, a man says that he was an habitual coffee drinker, and, although he knew it was doing him harm, was too obstinate to give it up, till all at once he went to pieces with nervousness and insomnia, loss of appetite, weakness, and a generally used-up feeling, which practically un fitted him for his arduous occupation, and kept him on a couch at home when his duty did not call him out. "While in this condition Grape-Nuts food was suggested to me, and I began to use it. Although it was in the middle of winter, and the thermometer was often below zero, almost my entire living for about six weeks of severe exposure was on Grape-Nuts food with a little bread and butter and a cup of hot water, till I was wise enough to make Postum my table beverage. "After the first two weeks I began to feel better and during the whole winter I never lost a trip on my mall route, frequently being on the road 7 or 8 hours at a time. "The constant marvel to me was how a person could do the amount of work and endure the fatigue and hardship as I did, on so small an amount of food. But I found my new rations so perfectly satisfactory that I have continued them—using both Postum and Grape-Nuts at every meal, and often they comprise my entire meal. "All my nervousness, irritability and insomnia have disappeared and healthy, natural sleep has come back to me. But what has been perhaps the greatest surprise to me is the fact that with the benefit to my general health has come a remarkable improvement in my eye-sight.

She was a prim miss of thirteen who stood before the rector of a well-known New York Episcopal church and looked him squarely in the eye. "Please repeat that fifth commandment again," he said, for he was catechising her with regard to her knowledge of the Scriptures apropos of the coming confirmations. "Honor thy mother and thy father, that thy days may be long in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee," was the response. "Honor thy mother and thy father," mused the rector. "Who taught you that?" "Mother," was the response. "These are certainly suffragist days upon which we have fallen," remarked the minister. "Father used to come first."

INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (BY E. O. SELLERS. Director of Events Institute of Chicago). LESSON FOR MARCH 17. THE PARALYTIC HEALED. LESSON TEXT-Mark 2:1-12. GOLDEN TEXT-"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits; who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who heuleth all thy diseases."-Ps. 103:2-3. Events tread upon the heels of events in the life of Jesus, especially during his early Galilean ministry, and none depict these events more graphically than St. Mark, who is presenting us a picture of him as a servant. Jesus had been upon a preaching tour and now returns to the town of Capernaum. As soon as it was noised about that he was at his home a crowd quickly gathered about the door. So great was the crowd that there was no longer any room in the house nor about the door, that is the crowd was so dense that late comers could not look in to see and hear the prophet. That many of these were attracted by his popularity there is no doubt, but it gave Jesus an opportunity to speak and preach the word which he was quick to seize upon. "He preached the Word unto them." Is this not a suggestion for teachers? especially of some of the adult classes. If your class is a Bible class stick to your text or else change your name. The apostles followed his example in this respect; so have all the mighty men of God. The result of this teaching and preaching is manifest in this record and should be an encouragement to preachers and Christian workers, viz., that it not only attracts the crowd, but that it reveals sin also. Sickness Result of Sin. While all sickness may not be the result of sin, yet remove sin from the world and an overwhelming proportion, perhaps all, suffering would cease. We are promised that in his newer and better kingdom there is to be no more pain nor sorrow. Jesus therefore said first of all, "Child, thy sins are forgiven." How his voice must have thrilled with tenderness and pathos as he uttered these words. But the critics were there; they ever have been wherever a good deed is being performed. Note they were sitting idly by (v. 6). Showing no such anxiety as the four that the needy might come into the presence of Jesus. "Who can forgive sin but one, even God? Their reasoning was correct and their conclusion was logical; the trouble was that unbelief and prejudice had so blinded their eyes that they could not and would not recognize the power of God working through his Son. Yes, they went farther and made the fatal blunder of ascribing to Beelzebub this work of God (Jno 10:33). It would seem as though their smug self-esteem would at least have been startled when this young teacher showed them that he was reading the thoughts of their hearts. "Why reason ye these things in your hearts?" Human reasoning can disprove God, but the deductions of the intellect cannot satisfy the cry of human hearts after God (Job. 23:3, 4). The greatest lesson for us to learn at this point is that the forgiveness of sin is greater in the estimation of God than the relief of human sufferings. Turning to the one sick of the palsy he said, "Arise! "What? Why such a thing is a physical impossibility. Surely this young prophet has gone mad; was not this boy let down a few moments ago through that hole in yonder ceiling, so helpless that it took four of his friends to bring him to this place?" In seeming reply to such a query Jesus tells the man to take up his bed and walk. Jesus Could Make Men See Small wonder that the man's new power and this use of that power should amaze those present so that they should exclaim: "We never saw it on this fashion." Let us beware that our eyes be not blind to behold similar miracles in this the twentieth century. (Read, "Twice-Born Men") It is very doubtful if the "all" of verse 12 includes the "certain" of verse 6. We must be careful that even as believers we do not crowd away some needy, palsied one. Beware also of loveless censorshipness. What is meant by glorifying God (v. 12)? The answer is suggested by the spiritual seer, St. John. God's glory is wrapped up in the Son who delighted to do God's will. God's power is shown over all flesh in the Son, and through the Son he is giving life—eternal life. Let us glorify God over the fact and hasten to bring others to the feet of Jesus. Let us co-operate as did the four. Let us demonstrate as did the sick one by our walk. Thus shall we stop the mouth of every critic, silence the tongue of every skeptic, and glorify the Son who came to give us strength, life, peace, salvation and everlasting life. A suggested outline of the lesson would be: 1—Jesus teaching, v. 1, 2. 2—Jesus forgiving, v. 3-5. 3—Jesus rebuking, v. 6-10. 4—Jesus commanding, v. 11-12. Death Lurks In A Weak Heart BLACK SILK LIQUID STOVEPOLISH A bright, clean, glossy stove is the joy and pride of every housekeeper. But it is hard to keep a stove nice and shiny—unless Black Silk Stove Polish is used. Here is the reason: Black Silk Stove Polish sticks right to the trom. It doesn't rub off or dust off. Its shine lasts four times longer than the shine of any other polish. You only need to polish one-fourth as often, yet your stove will be cleaner, brighter and better looking than it has been since you first bought it.

True, it is for skin troubles, but its great mission is to prevent skin troubles. For more than a generation its delicate emollient and prophylactic properties have rendered it the standard for this purpose, while its extreme purity and refreshing fragrance give to it all the advantages of the best of toilet soaps. It is also invaluable in keeping the hands soft and white, the hair live and glossy, and the scalp free from dandruff and irritation. While its first cost is a few cents more than that of ordinary toilet soaps, it is prepared with such care and of such materials, that it wears to a wafer, often outlasting several cakes of other soap, and making its use, in practice, most economical. Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and dealers everywhere, but the truth of these claims may be demonstrated without cost by sending to "Cuticura," Dept. L, Boston, for a liberal sample cake, together with a thirty-two page book on the skin and hair. New Commandment.

HIS MODESTY OF HIGH ORDER Tinker, of Course, Loved His Neighbor as Himself, but That Won't Lord Tankerville, who is sending his son to an American school, said the other day in New York: "There are too many Englishmen—and English boys as well—who develop, in the presence of a lord, a painful and unnatural modesty. Their modesty reminds me of a village tinker. "This tinker had a rather crusty disposition, and his pastor said to him one day: "My man, you should love your neighbor as yourself." "Yes, sir," said the tinker. "But the pastor had in mind a nasty black eye that the tinker had given the bricklayer next door, and so he went on: "Do you, though, do you honestly, love your neighbor as yourself? 'Yes, sir; oh, yes, sir,' said the tinker; and he added, 'but I'm a modest man, ye see, and, to tell the truth, I ain't a bit stuck on myself, sir.'" Acme of Laziness A story is told of a man who held the Kansas record for laziness. As he was too lazy to do anything at all, his neighbors finally decided to bury him alive. They laid him in the bottom of the wagon and started for the cemetery. On the way they were met by a man who asked what they were doing with that man. "He won't work, and he has nothing to eat, so we are taking him to the cemetery to bury him alive," was the reply. Touched with pity, the stranger said: "Friends, I have a sack of corn here that he is welcome to." Hearing this, the lazy man raised his head long enough to inquire: "Is it shelled?" "No, it isn't, but——" "Drive on," interrupted the doomed man, as his head disappeared from view. The Very Best Make. In the course of an after-dinner speech in praise of women, Samuel Untermyer, the New York lawyer, said in Pittsburg: "A commercial traveler remarked the other day to a storekeeper: "Make yourself a Christmas present of a cash register. It will keep strict and accurate account of all you receive and all you disburse. It will show what you save and what you squander, what you spend foolishly and what you spend wisely, where you should spread out and where you should retrench, what you waste and how to waste it—" "But, said the storekeeper, I've already got a cash register which does all that and more." "Whose make is it?" asked the salesman, frowning. "God's make,' the storekeeper replied; and with a smile at once reverent and grateful he nodded toward his handsome wife seated in the cashier's cage. Shot With a Knife. Years ago in a stock performance of a famous old melodrama, the villain, Charles Wolcott, suddenly discovered that he had left his revolver in the dressing room. In much confusion, he fumbled in his pocket and found a penknife which, he figured, would do just as well for the bloody deed. Imagine his consternation when, after plunging the blade into the hero's breast, that player failed to change his lines and screamed at the top of his voice: 'Heaven forgive you! I'm shot.'

Dillon, a New York court was sentenced by the New York Court of Special Sessions, to imprisonment in the penitentiary at hard labor, for the murder of the large trade-mark for Carter's Little River Pills, in violation of the penal law. The Carter Medicine Company detected the trade-mark before and nearly the spurious goods had been placed upon the market. in sentencing Flick, Judge Deuel laid special stress upon the injury done to the company by itself, but in order as Carter's Little River Pills is counterfeited and put on the market. He imposed the sentence not only as the proper punisher for himself, but in order to deceive others from commission of like frauda in the future. She—Oh, I have no doubt you love me; and your love lacks the supreme touch—unselfishness. He—What makes you say that? He—What makes you say that? She—You admit it.
