Oyster Bay, 'Aug. 31L.—President Roosevelt entertained at 'lurncheon Secretary of the Interior Garfield, Sen- ators Foster and MsEnery of Louisiana and United States Judge Charles F. Amidon of North Dakota. The visit of the Louisiana senators was to plead for a pardon for a convicted constit- uent ‘named Bradford, who has been sentenced to two years in prison and to pay a heavy fine for land fraud. Bradford is seventy years old and in feeble health. Secretary Garfield made a report of the government’s side of ‘the case. He also gave the president the result of his observation in 'the West, from where he has re- cently returned. President Accepts Verdict. Oyster Bay, L. L, Aug. 31—By au- thority of President Roosevelt, James R. Garfield, secretary of the interior, announced that no further effort will be made by the administration toward bringing up again in congress the question of the joint statehood of Ari- zona and New Mexico. The verdict of the people recently expressed in those territories will be accepted by the president as final, Mr. Garfield said. Noah Under Suspicion. The last copy of the Ararat Journal, i published three days before the flood, has recently been excavated from the top drawer of an oriental magnate's desk. 1t says editorially: “The radical utterances of old man Noah are to be strongly deprecated by all conservative citizens. Especially do we deplore his unwarranted attacks on the sin trust and its worthy board of dlrectors. “Aslde from the fact that these gen- tlemen stand very high in the commu- nity, such wild denunciation and: pre- dictions of our people listened to last evening are likely to produce an unset- tled conditions of affairs and damage . business. “It is generally believed that his mo- tives are not above suspicion. In fact, those who are well informed hint that the old man has some watered and un- digested stock of his own which he expects to float as soon as the sin trust is swamped.”—Puck. Gentle Persuasion. Many stories are told of the eccentric doings and sayings of an old clergyman who lived in Maine some years ago. At one tlme there had been a fight among some men, one of whom was serlously hurt. A trlal took place, and the old minister, who had seen the af- fray, was summoned as a witness. “What was Salson doing?’ was the first question. “Oh, he was slashing around.” “Well, sir, just what do you mean by that?” “Why, he was knocking about him here and there.” “Now, sir, kindly tell us plainly what Salson did to this man.” “Why, he—he enticed him,” sald the old minister slowly. “Enticed him! How?” “He enticed him with a crowbar. He used the erowbar to persuade the man —to entice him—and by a series of pokes and blows he succeeded in dolng 1t,” sald the minister mildly.—Youth's Companion. Mother Had the Failing Too. The visitor had dropped in “just for a minute,” but she remained about three hours after the minute was up. Little Freddie had formed several plans, the execution of which must be postponed till the departure of his ‘mother’s guest. 8o he sat quletly thinking things. “Dear little man!” gushed the visitor. “And what is he thinking about so' deeply 7" “I was wondering if it wasn't time for you to be golng,” sald Freddle. “Hush!” sald his mother. - Then, turn- Ing to her gugst: “You mustn’t be of- fended, Mrs. Smith. Children will go blurting out the truth without think- ing. But they don’t mean anything by 1" Strangely enough, It was just then that Mrs. Smith recollected that she had ‘only ‘three minutes in which to catch the last car home.—London Tele- graph. i Try to Do This. Take a light chalr and place ‘it ‘with its back to the wall. Stand in front of it, facing the wall, with the toes about a foot from- the front feet of the chalr, and, placing one hand on each side of the chalr, lean forward until the top of your head touches'the wall. The prob- lem 15 to 1ift the chair from the floor and, without moving the feet, to take the head away from the wall .and stand upright. Simple as this appears, it 1s impossible. Very few people, as you will find, would anticipate any-dif- ficulty in doing this. Get them to try. This trick 1s, of course, very like the old one of standing against a wall sldewise, with the shoulder and one foot touching the wall. ‘It is then im- possible to raise the outside foot with- out losing one’s balance and' falling away from the wall.

It the coal could be furnished all at once with enough alr to effect its com- plete combustion, it would explode with as great violence as if it were so much’ dynamite, Frivolous Prayer. In the memoirs of Comtesse de Boligne, who lived over a hundred years ago, appears the following: *“T had a great speculative veneration for that youthful Louise de Conde, weep- ing for the crimes of her country at the foot of altars. I had formed a romantic idea of her, but it was neces- sary to avoid seeing the herolne. Com- mon, vulgar and Iignorant, she was middle class in her thoughts, In her sentiments, in her actions, words and person. One was tempted to pity God for being so constantly importuned by her, She called on him for help in all the most futile circumstances of her puerile existence. I have seen her offer up prayer to recover a ball of wool which had fallen under her chair.” A Nutmeg Revelation. “Brush that white powder off the nutmegs before you begin to grate ‘em,” said the chef to the young ap- prentice. “But that's the bloom, ain’t it?” re- monstrated the lad. “Bloom!” sneered the chef. “No, sir; it is oyster shell powder. The na- tives, as soon as they gather the nut- meg, roll it in a powder of ground oyster shells, and that protects it on its long voyage to market from the weevils. The weevils otherwise would eat it up. But the powder has served its turn now, so brush it off.”—Ex- change. Naturally. The youngest member of the family had taken enthusiastically to pyrogra- phy. She had just executed a design repre- senting a little gir] playing with the cat in front of an old fashioned fire- place. “It is well done, Bertha,” said her mother, inspecting it, “but you have managed somehow to make the little girl look scared.” “That’s all right, mamma,” answered Bertha. “A burnt child dreads the fire.”—Chicago Tribune.

[Hearing in ‘Charges Agalnst Several i Rallroads, St. Paul, Aug. 31.—Charges of um- Just * discrimination - and rebating against the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, Great Northern, Chicago and Northwestern and Chicago, Burlington and Quincy roads are being aired in the federal building before John H. Marble, special examiner for the inter- state commerce commission. A. B. Morse of the Morse Produce company, Granite Falls, Minn., made the charges. ' In his petition filed April 6, 1907, he asks for an adjustment of his affairs with the railroads and elim- ination of alleged unjust discrimina- tion. The petition states that a higher rate is charged Morse for shipping butter and eggs to Chicago than is levied upon produce ‘dealers of 'Pipe- stone, which is many miles ‘further from the metropolis. Counsel for both sides agreed to get together and prepare further charts of rates in the vicinity of Granite Falls and Pipestone and submit them to the commissioners when a decision will be made. HEAVY LOSS BY FIRE. Louisville Courier-Journal ‘‘Building Badly Damaged. Loulsville, Aug. 31.—The Courier- Journal building, at Fourth and Green streets, in which are located the plants of ~the Courier-Journal and Evening Times, was destroyed early in the day. The structure was five stories high and occupied half a block. The fire started at the top of an elevator shaft, supposedly from defec- tive insulation of electric wires, and spread with great rapidity. The editorial and reportorial forces of the Courier-Journal stuck to the building in the hope that the blaze would be subdued and that they could issue a paper. They were caught nap- ping with fire at all exits and had to be taken out on ladders. The iinotype machines and presses are located in a reinforced section of the building and the damage to them was comparatively light. The remain- T Your Teeth & Need attention.

Cast Blanca, -Aug. 31.—During ‘the fighting between the French forces and the Moors near the French camp the Moors at first retreated and it was over when suddenly they reappeared in great force in two directions. The Spahis and irregular Algerian cavalry found themselves almost surrounded, but formed a square and slowly fell back until reinforcements arrived. In the meanwhile the French warships show- ered shells among the hills sheltering the enemy. The engagement lasted three hours. The line of battle extended over two miles and it is estimated that ‘about 12,000 Moors were engaged. The loss of the latter is not known, but is be- lieved to have been heavy, as French officers counted the bodies of twenty Moors in one roadway. The French loss was fifteen men killed or wounded.
