PRYOR | Business Manager Through a curious ov.rsight, or was it intentional, the new passenger rate bill which went into effect Wednesday will com- pel all babes to pay fare when they ride on the‘‘choo-choo”cars. The provisions of the bill are that all passengers over twelve! years of age may ride for two cents per mile, and all below twelve must pay half fare. Here- tofore, only children between six and twelve years of age were obliged to pay while those under six were carried free. law does not discriminate in children but will treat all alike, and the railroads, made up their minds to comply with the strict letter of the law and which do not care to incur any liability for violating its| plain provisions will charge the nursing infant one cent per mile fare. The second most deadly in- strument of destruction is the dynamite gun. The gun merely kills bodies; the tongue kills re- putations and oft times ruins characters. Each gun works alone; each loaded gun has a hundred accomplices. The havoc| of the gun is visible at ounce. The full evil of the tongue lives through all the years; even the eye of Omniscience might grow tired in tracing it to its finality. The crimes of the tongue are i words of unkinduess, of anger, of malice, of envy, of bitterness, of harsh criticism, gossip, lying and scandal.

Seven Battalions Annihilated by Rebellious Arabians, REVOLT OF LONG STANDING Hostilities Began Twelve Years Ago and Severe Fighting Has Occurred at Various Times, Generally Result ing in Victory for Arabs. London, May 7.—It is announced in a special dispatch from Constantinople that seven battalions of Turkish troops have practically been annihilated dur- ing a baitle with rebels in the prov- ince of Yemen, Turkish Arabia. The commander-in-chief of the Turkish forces is urgently calling for reinforce- ments. The outbreak in Yemen began about twelve years ago and may be said to have been in progress ever since. The Turks have repeatedly an- nounced that the Arabs were crushed, but the revolt has always been re- newed. Ii December, 1904, the Turk- ish troops under Riza Pasha sustained a serious defeat, four battalions be- Ing routed, and later the Turkish gar- rison at Sanaa surrendered, the rebels capturing thirty guns, 20,000 rifies and much ammunition. Severe fighting took place against last year, the Arabs apparently being always victorious. The full strength of a Turkish bat- talion is 922 men of all ranks. INDIAN ' SITUATION ' SERIOUS Tone of Disaffected Native Press Be- coming More Violent. London, May 7.—A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Simla says that the government of India is alive to the seriousness of the present unrest among the people and that an official statement is expected shortly strength- ening the hands of local officials in maintaining order. ‘The tone of the disaffected section of the Calcutta native press is becom- ing more violent. Order, however, is being maintained. A second riot was prevented at Lahore by the prompt action of the police. Simla, British India, May 7.—The schools and colleges of Bengal, which are affiliated with the University of Calcutta, have become such hotbeds of political agitation that the govern- ment resolved to take drastic actio: A circular has been sent to the uni- versity, college and school authorities prohibiting the participation of pro- fessors, teachers or pupils of the high- er cducational establishments in po- litical movements and notifying the unlversity that unless it carries out its duty in controlling the affiliated colleges all the government scholar- ship endowments will be withdrawn. ELLEN TERRY WEDS AGAIN Married James Carew, Her Leading Man, on March 22. New York, May 7.—Announcement is made that Ellen Terry, the English actress, Is again a bride’ She was married to James Carew, her leading man, in Pittsburg, on March 22. Mr. Carew made the announcement. The ceremony was performed by a justice of the peace. For reasons that have not been di: closed announcement of the marriage was deferred until the famous Eng- lish actress was on the sea bound for her native land.- She sailed on Satur- day and Mr. Carew, who was obliged to remain in America to look after urgent business, decided, with her con- sent, of course, to make the fact known forthwith.

The hot tamale is too hot and has very little nourishment to it, and goulash is too heavy. It tastes pretty good, but it is not a food to recommend to & man with a weak stomach. Chop suey, how- ever, is app ng, easily digested and very nourishing. It is the great contri- bution of the orient to the occident in my opinion. It is made of rice, sprout- ed beans, celery and chicken’s blood, all mixed together in the form of soup and nicely seasoned.” Some Wives Are Different. “Most wen,” said the man of experi- ence, “think it must be awfully nice to have a wife who takes things as cool- ly as Dave Potter’s wife takes them, but others, more diseriminating, prefer a good honest row to her style of quiet cynicism. The way she behaved the other day when she found a letter in Dave’s pocket from a girl in Brooklyn is an example of her method. “‘I don’t see; wrote this girl, ‘how on earth I can ever live without you.’ “Dave’s wife read that gush and a lot more just like it without ever turn- ing a hair. “‘Well,} she said quletly, ‘that girl 1s a fool. If she knew you as well as I do she would be wondering how on earth she could ever live with you.’ “And that, in the opinion of the dis- criminating few, cuts a whole lot deep- er than a common, everyday rumpus.” —New York Globe. The Axial Rotation of Venus. Tor over two centuries it was gener- ally accepted that, like the earth, the planet Venus rotated on its axis in a little less than twenty-four hours, but since Schiaparelll after long and care- . ful observation of the planet suggest- ed that the actual rotation period was between six and nine months astron- omers have devoted much attention to this matter. In the Observatory Mr. Denning sums up the available evi- dence on the point and can only con- clude that this particular problem still defles solution. Life on Venus would be very different from life on the earth should the plahet’s avial rotation be, as Schiaparelll asserted, identical with the period of its revolution round the sun, as in that case the same hemi- sphere would always be turned to the sun and enjoy perpetual day, while the opposite hemisphere would be doomed to eternal night. A Plant of All Work. The fields as well as the broad roads of Ecuador ave inclosed by adobe walls surmounted by the broad leaved Amer- ican aloe. The aloe, sometimes called the century plant, is one of the most useful and important plants in the country. The Indians thatch their huts with its leaves. The leaves when tap- ped yield sirup. They can also be used as soap and the spines as pins. The fiber is woven into sacks, and from it are made the coarse sandals worn by St. Petersburg, May 7.—A plot which resulted in the liberation of thirteen political prisoners was daringly exe- cuted at Alexandrovik, near Yekater- incslay, during the Easter services at the prison. While high mass was be- ing celebrated in the prison chapel a band of revolutionists entered the building, killed the chief inspector and exploded two bombs. Under cover of the confusion which followed thirteen political prisoners, including several important terrorists, escaped. Death of Two Noted Artists. ‘- New York, May 7.—The death of two noted artists is recorded. Max Francis Klepper, artist and illustrator, Is dead at his home at Flatbush. He was an animal painter of note. Mr. Klepper was forty-six years old. George B. Butler, N. A., the portrait painter, is dead at his home near Cro- ton Falls, N. Y. He was In his seven- tleth year.

The specialist surgeon, hot with in- dignation, exclaimed, “No, I will not take her case. There must be a limit to even a woman’s flippancy.” “Why, Dr. , what do you mean?’ asked'the family doctor mildly. “I have always found Mrs. Jones a lady in every way.” “Perhaps,” answered the specialist surgeon, more calmly, but with dry severity. “She asked me why a sur- geon was like a hen. And when I gave it up, what do you think she said?’ “I give it up, too,” said the family doctor. “Because his motto is always ‘Cut- cut-cut, ah, cut’ Wasn’t that the Himit?” “And that woman has been under the knife three times,” reflected the family doctor. “I'll take her to Dr. Smith. He has a sense of humor.” And now there is a marked coolness between the speclalist surgeon and the family dcctor.—Brooklyn Eagle. A Bit Too Realistic. Some amateurs in a provincial town gave a theatrical performance. Just before the curtain went up the star actor took the manager aside and said to him: “Now, look here! 1 don’t propose to drink water instead of wine in the drinking scene in the second act. I want wine—genuine wine. The uni- ties must be preserved. We want-to make this play as realistic as possi- ble.” “Oh, you want champagne at 165 shil- lings a bottle, do you?” “Yes, sir. Everything must be re- alistic.” “All right. In the second act you shall have real wine, and when you take poison In the last act you shall have some real poison. I'll see that you don’t complain of the play not be- ing realistic enough. How does prus- sie acid strike you?’—London Tit-Bits. Writing as a Fine Art. In a letter written by the late Lafca- dio Hearn to his. friend, the musical critic, H. E. Krehbiel, the author says: “Let me dwell upon an art principle. Both you and I have a trade—journal- ism. We have also an art—authorship. The same system of labor cannot be applied to the one as to the other with- out unfortunate results. Let the trade be performed as mechanically as is consistent with preservation of one’s reputation as a good workman. But when it comes to writing a durable thing—a book or a brochure—every line ought to be written at least twice, if possible, three times. In the very act of copying new ideas of grace, force and harmony will make’ themselves manifest. Without this, I will venture to say, fine literary execution ig im- possible.” The “Book of Sports.” The “Book of Sports” was a procla- mation by James 1., who in this publi- cation in 1618 signified to his people the royal pleasure with regard to what sports, games and amusements might be practiced-on Sunday. The king inti- mated that “no lawful recreation should be barred on that day to his good peo- ple.” The sports forbidden on Sundays were bear and bull fighting, bowling and interludes. Those who did not at- tend church were not allowed to join in the sports, and no one could go out of his parish. The amusements allowed were dancing, archery, leaping, vault- ing, May games, Whitsun ales and the setting up of May poles. Striking a Fish. The secret of striking a fish, espe- clally a trout, which bites quickly, whether in brook, river or lake, is to glve a sharp upturn of the wrist. This will move the rod or bait only two or three inches and will not jerk it from the water. If you miss the fish will follow the few inches, not being fright- ened, and in the majority of cases will be hooked at once. The quick jerking of the bait from the water almost in-|§ varlably scares a trout—result, a dark WA S B FRIEND TO FRIEND The personal 7ccommendations of peo ple who have been cured of conghs and colds by Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy have done more than all else to make it & staple article of trade and commerce over & large part of the civilized world.
