Fremont, Neb., Nov. 1..—Because sclentists have reported that peanuts contalned all the elements necessary to sustain life Archie Venuto, a Fre- mont man, attempted to live by eating nothing but peanuts with the result that he died after the week’s peanut diet.

He died of exhaustion. Affects Hundreds of Men. ‘Washburn, Wis, Nov. i .—The tightness of the money market has been the means of closing down the large mill of the Edward Hines Lum- ber company located at [ron River, this county. Not only will the lum- ber company close down their saw mill, but they will cease operations in the woods tributary to the mill, which will throw over 1,500 men out of employment.

Two Colored Girls Poisoned. Philadelphia, Nov. 1 —Under ecir- cumstances which have perplexed the police two colored girls employed as domestics in a boarding house in West Philadelphia were found dead in their room. The girls, Bessie Dayton and Annie Tase, were aged twenty-two and fifteen years, respectively. It is the opinion of the police that the girls were polsoned. Made It Clear. ' “T beg your pardon, waiter,” said a traveler in a railway restaurant, “did you say that I had twenty minutes to walt or that it was twenty minutes to8?” “I sald naythur,” answered the at- tendant. “I said yez had twenty min- utes to ate, an’ that's all yez had. Yer frain’s gone now!” The Colored Brother’s Reason. Booker T. Washington told the story / of a negro pastor who was having some difficulty with his flock. “The old fellow came to me and asked me to help him out,” said Mr. Washington. “I went down to the llt- tle backwoods country church with bim one Sunday. Incidentally I took pecasion to inquire among the parish- loners a little and found that they had not paid the old man his salary. “Upon this basis of information I started in to admonish the members of the congregation. I told them that they should pay thelr pastor; that he had to live; that he had to have his salary. “All in all, I was making a pretty good speech. I had most of the con- Bregation convinced, I think. “But there was one old fellow in the back of the church that was mum- bling during my talk. He would snick- or a little and duck his eyes below the old soft hat he held up to his face. ‘We ain't goin’ to pay 'im any more salary this year.’ “The old fellow became so obstrep- erous that I remonstrated with him. “‘Brother, why are you not going to pay your pastor any more salary this year? I asked him. “‘Because we done pald him for them same sermons last y'ar, was the @ecisive response.” How Prisoners Read. *“It is rather pathetic,” said a prison shaplain, “the way our inmates read their surreptitious newspapers. It is bad for the poor fellows’ eyes too. “It 18 against the rule for them to read in their cells, and in the cell doors there are peepholes, to which the jafl- s come nolselessly, seeing that all the rules are enforced. “The prisoner who simply must read pastes with a bit of porridge his jour- nal up against his cell door beneath the peephole. He sits down on the floor a yard or two away and holds his fll:tpnn in one hand and his brush in 2 other. In this awkward and wearl- some position, his eyes nearly popping sut of his head from strain, he reads fway for dear life. “And when the jaller's cold, hard 0ye peers in through the peephole it isses the paper and lights up with !some faint approbation at the sight of “the prisoner polishing up his floor.”’— ‘How Tosk Foass. . 0. RUTLEDQE| | Editor Her Ready Wit. Though he had long adored her In secret—worshiped, in fact, the ground she pressed beneath the soles of her dainty little No. 3’s—he had never yet been able to screw up sufficient cour- age to put his fate to the test. Poor fellow! He was one of those shy, modest, self deprecating sort of chaps that are growing rapldly:scarcet or he would hiave tumbled mohths ago to the gact that he had only to go in and win, Gertrude Alicla knew the state of his feelings right enough, but it had pleas- ed her hitherto to keep him dangling In attendance. At last, however, she made up her mind to land her fiah as soon As a favorable chance presented itself. And the opportunity came at the Smythingtons’ little solree, when the bashful swain, entering the conserva- tory, discovered his inamorata looking her lovellest amid the palms and flow- ers, ‘““‘Are—are you alone?’ he questioned timidly. In & moment the fair and ready wit- ted girl saw her chance and took It then and there. “A loan, Hen—er—Mr. Finnikin,” she sald, with lowered eye- lids, “a loan? Certalnly not—I'm a Bift.” And fifteen minutes later, when they -~ | emerged from their retreat, Henry was asking himself how he could have been such a Juggins as to postpone his hap- plness so long. ! Neander’s “One Work.” Doctors, when they send away & busy man for several weeks of rest, do not consider that to one accustomed to work an enforced rest is both irrl- tating and depressing. Neander, the famous church histo- rian, had promised his physician on be- Ing ordered to Carlsbad to drink Its famous waters that he would take no books with him except one work, which the doctor with reluctance “allowed. On the morning of the historian’s de- parture the doctor, wishing to say goodby to his patient, cdlled at his door and saw a cart laden with heavy follos. “But, dear professor,” sald the phy- sician, with the emphasis of displeas- ure, “you promised me to take no books with you.” “Yes, doctor,” replied the childlike professor, “but you allowed me one work, so I thought I might take the fa- thers with me to Carlsbad.” The ‘“one work” jncluded three or four score volumes, When Marriage Is the Topic. The wedded state is a favorite sub- ject with the epigram makers. From & very old ballad we take this: There Was a criminal in a cart A-goin’ to be hanged; Resplte to him was granted, And cart and crowd did stand To know if he would marry a wife Or rather choose to die. “T'other’s the worst—drive on the cartl® The criminal did reply. More modern is this verse: 1 would advise a man to pause Before he takes a wife— In fact, I see no earthly cause He should not pause for life. Who, by the way, is the author who describes a second marrlage as being “the triumph of hope over experience?” Samuel Lover’s matrimonial epigram Is very apposite: Though matches are all made in heaven, they say, ‘Yet Hymen, who mischief oft hatches, Sometimes deals with the house t'other slde of the way, And there they make Lucifer matches. —Chambers’ Journal. The Lord and the Burglar. Lord Iverdale had just finished his after dinner speech and the guests had applauded when the butler rushed for- ward and announced to his lordship that there was a burglar in the house. “A burglar! Confound his impu- dence! Where is he?” “We don’t exactly know, your lord- ship. One of the malds, hearing a nolse in the library, looked in and Baw a man at the safe. If your lord- ship will allow me, I'll put Jarvis in my place here and take charge of the search.” “Very good, Haskins. Go by all means. Wait a moment—here is the key of my desk. Take the revolver you will find in the right hand top drawer; you may need it. As soon as I can get away without alarming the ladies I'll join you.”—Munsey’s. Fun In Space. I dreamed last night that I was pres- ent at a committee meeting of the sun, earth, moon and stars. “I'm no coward,” sald the earth. “No, but you have two great fears,” said the sun hotly. “And those are?” “The hemispheres.” “You've forgotten the atmosphere,” put in the moon. And the comet, who had no business to be there, wagged his tail with joy. Hit Them Both. Jones—That was a scathing sermon on mean men the parson gave us last Bunday.

The ¢ gy, and most of the passen: below listening to two evangelists who were holding a particularly fervid gospel meeting in the saloon, Suddenly and without the slightest waming there was a terrific crash and the en- glnes stopped. Every one rushed on deck. The steamer had ran Into an fce- berg. Nobody kuew what damage had been done, and everybody was ready to fly into a panic. The boats were lowered, and then for the first tlme the two evangelists, who had been forgotten in the saloon, appeared on deck. 'They wore thelr overconts and their hats, and they carried rugs and handbags. They elbowed thelr way rudely to the call, with the evident intent of secur- Ing for themselves first places in the boat. It was just at a time when a breath would have sent the passengers panic stricken into the boats. The sight of the two evangelists was about to undo the work of cool headed officers when a pert little cockney stepped up to the gentlemen with the rugs and handbags. “Beg pardon,” said he, tipping his cap, “'ave a cab, sir?” And in the general laugh the danger of panic was averted. Could Not Risk It. A dealer in real estate tells this story: A middle aged widow came to his of- fice to try to make arrangements for the purchase of a house and lot. “We can make a small payment down,” she said, “and would sign a mortgage run- ning for a perfod of five years to se- cure the payment of the rest of the money. My daughters have good posi- tions as bookkeepers in a large mer- cantile establishment and can save enough out of their salaries to meet the payments as they become due.” The real estate man hesitated. “I' should want to be sure of you paying for the property in the stipu- lated time,” he said. “I should feel like a criminal"if T had to foreclose the mortgage at any time—and yet busi- ness is business. I shall have to see your daughters.” She brought them to his office the next day. “Madam,” he said, shaking his head, “you will have to give me some ad- ditional security. Your daughters are too handsome. They will marry and lose their jobs long before the five years are up.” Indestructible Cat. ‘While expounding to his wife the alleged fact that men can control themr tempers better than women can, Mr. Hinks fell over the cat and nearly broke his nose. “That settles 1t!” he hissed. “I've often threatened, but now I'll drown the brute!” His wife begged him to be merclful but his mind was made up. Accordingly he placed the oflendlng feline, along with two large bricks, in an old flour sack and hastened upon his murderous errand. On reaching the canal he threw in the bag with such vigor that he overbalanced and fell into the muddy water. After strug- gling for half an hour and incidentally drinking half the water in the canal, he returned home wet and weary. At the door sat the cat. “Well, of all’— exclaimed Hinks. “Why, I drowned the brute!” “I don't think so,” sald his wife as she let him in. “You didn’t give me time to tell you that there .was a hole in that bag!”—London Answers. How He Judged. First Man—Writing must have been very expensive in the middle ages. They used feathers for pens. Second Man—Why should they be expensive?

An- English commercial traveler vis- iting a large Glasgow warehouse made a bet with the manager that he could plck out all the married men among the employees. Accordingly he stationed himself at the door as they came back from dinner and mentioned all those whom he believed to be married, and in almost every case he was right. “How do you do it?” asked the man- ager in amazement. “Oh, it's quite simple,” said the traveler, “quite simple. The married men all wipe their feet on the mat; the unmarried ones don’t.”—Glasgow Times. Whisky and Typhoid. It may be interesting for you to know that habitual whisky drinkers never recover when once attacked with typhoid fever or pneumonia. The whisky makes the system unfit to withstand the ravages of the disease, and death is always the result. Emi- nent physiclans all over the world have noted and studled this fact.—. V.

To be successful even in this limited range requires much careful research and great patience. The mord inconspicuous and unknown the sub- Jects chosen the more difficult the task of collecting. It may be said that i is an easier task to secure an authentie autograph of Napoleon Bonaparte or of Cromwell than one of the practical- ly unknown murderer of President Mc- Kinley. The very obscurity from which the perpetrator temporarily emerged is hard to penetrate and there- fore makes the securing of his auto- graph a difficult task.—Collector. Tobacco as a Drug.
