[By “Doc"] Even a kleptomaniac may take the cake—in a bakery. By holding her tongue a woman can keep a man guessing. Do all the work you can; there are lots of lazy men who will do the rest. A father’s pride in his children’s music is based largely upon what it cost him. Some men imagine they are decent because they wear a clean collar every day. Some men keep their religion locked up in a safety deposit vault six days of the week. When a man kisses a girl for the first time she tries to act so that he will think it is her first experience. After getting the average man started on his hobby nothing short of a steam street roller can stop him. If it wasn’t for getting. her front hair mussed no girl would object to being kissed against her will once in awhile. Many a man who gives up a dollar to the church on Sunday, expects the Lord to give him back $10 the next day. They Were Good Eaters. One day Di. Norman McLeod, who was a large and healthy man, and one of his burly elders went to pay a visit to a certaln Mrs. MacLaren of the congregation who lived over the Scotch hills. She was a frugal woman, but since she knew that a call from these two: meant that they would stay to supper, too, she determined that they phould have the best in the house. So ghe piled the table with jellles and jam and preserves and shortbread and all the delicacies of the season, and, the Journey having been long, they partook unsparingly, and after the meal the elder sald to her: “Mrs. MacLaren, kirk Sunday?” | “Oh, aye,” she said, “I was.” “And what did you think of the treatment of the miracle?” The ser- mon had been on the loaves and fishes. + “I thought it was good,” said Mrs. MacLaren. “And what is your idea on the sub- Ject, Mrs. MacLaren?”’ persisted the minister. “Losh,” sald thelr hostess suddenly, “I'm thinkin’ that if you and the elder had bin In- the congregation there wadna bin twelve baskets of frag- ments for the disciples to gather up!” were you at the Maintaining His Argument. One night at Brooks' when Coke was present Fox, in allusion to something that had been said, made a very dis- paraging remark about government powder. Adam, attorney general to the Prince of Wales, who heard it, con- sidered it a personal reflection and sent IFox a challenge. At the time ap- pointed Fox went out and took his sta- tlon, standing full face to his adver- sary. Fitzgerald pointed out to him that he ought. to and sideways. *“What does It matte protested Fox. “I am as thick one way as the other! The signal to fire was given. Adam fired, but Fox did not. His seconds, greatly excited, told him that he must fire. “I'll be — If I do!” said Fox. *“1 have no quarrel.” Whereupon the two adversaries advanced to shake hands. “Adam,” said Fox complacent- ly, “yowd have killed me if it hadn’t been for the badness of government powder."—London Bellman. The Sausage. The sausage dates back to the year 897. It-has been asserted that the Greeks In the days of Homer manufac- tured sausages, but this prehistoric mixture had nothing in common with our modern product. The anclent so called sausage was composed of the same materlals which enter into the makeup 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. It was not until the tenth cen- tury that sausage made of hashed pork became known. It was in or near the Fear 1500 that, thanks to the introduc- tion into Germany of cin saffron, the sausages of I Btrassburg acquired a univ tation. Physical Geography. The following answer was recently glven In a geography examination in reply to the question, “From what di- rection do most of our rains come?” Most of our rains come straight down, but some of them come side- ways. A Safety Match. “Papa, what is a safety match?” Me. Henpecked (looking carefully about to see if his wife Is within hear- ing)—A safety match, son, is when a baldheaded man marries an aimless woman! NEILL TO INVESTIGATE Labor Commissioner Ordered to St. Paul by the President, WAGES OF RAILROAD MEN Government Official Will Confer With Receivefs of the Chicago Great Western Relative to Present Condi- tion of That System. ‘Washington, Feb. 2 —Labor Com- missioner Charles P. Neill has left ‘Washington for St. Paul, where he will confer with officials of the Chi- cago Great Western road relative to a proposed reduction in wage scale to its employes. Commissioner Neill goes by direc- tion of the president, who is deter- mined to ascertain the exact situa- tion concerning the proposed wage reduction by several systems. The president thinks that some one is mis- representing the situation relative to present conditions. It has been claimed that the Hepburn rate act has not reduced -rates but increased them and that there is more business waiting for many roads than there are cars to handle it. The Chicago Great Western was the first to give notice of a reduction of wages, the line being in the hands of a receiver, and the receivers have asked for a conference with employes of the road March 9. The Louisville and Nashville and other lines also propose reductions. Labor organizatioas have protested against this proposed cut and made an appeal to the arbitration provisions of the Erdman act at the first move of the railroads to reduce wages in the hope that a check may be admin- istered. The fear of the railroad employes that the roads are preparing for a big cut all down the line was first brought to the attention of President Roose- velt and the interstate commerce commission by W. S. Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Engineers. He said the employes have reason to believe general reduc- tions covering the whole country are being planned. The arbitrators un- der the Erdman act are Chairman Knapp of the interstate commerce commission and Commissioner of La- bor Neill. WOMAN GOES TO PRISON. Mrs. Aimee Lloyd Pleads Guilty at Rochester, Minn. Rochester, Minn.,, Feb. &L'.—Mrs. Aimee Lloyd, the famous “woman in brown,” who is charged with swin- dling business men of Washington, Baltimore and other Eastern cities by means of forged checks and who was arrested and bound over here in De- cember for obtalning merchandise and money from business men of Rochester under false - pretenses, pleaded guilty in the district couxt and was sentenced to the state re- formatory. She is twenty-four years of age and will remain in the reforma- tory until released by the state board of control. DENIES WHITEWASH STORY Ex-Governor Pennypacker on Stand in Graft Trial. Harrisburg, Pa., Feb. 2 .—Former Governor Pennypacker, in his testi- mony at the state capitol conspiracy trial, denied the statement of Stan- ford B. Lewis, assistant to Architect Joseph M. Huston, that the Huston letter to former Attorney General Car- son was prepared at a confererce be- tween Pennypacker, Lewis and former Auditor General Snyder, one of the defendants. Mr. Pennypacker declared that when Lewis stated that this letter was intended to be a “whitewash” he stated what was absolutely false. WILL SUSTAIN PRESIDENT 8enate Committee to Vote on Browns- ville Question. ‘Washington, Feb. 2).—The Browns- ville question will be voted on by the senate committee on military affairs on Tuesday next, according to an agreement reached. The majority of the committee will vote to endorse the action of the president in dismiss- ing three companies of negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry om ac- count of the raid on the Texas town. Senator Foraker will make a minority report. It has not been determined how many will join in his view. @eneral Francis 8. Dodge Dead. ‘Washington, Feb. 2'.—Brigadier @eneral Francis 8. Dodge, U. S. A, retired, who was awarded a medal of honor by congress for distinguished gallantry at the battle of White River in Colorado in the Indian campaign in the sixties, is dead at his residence here.

Gillette of Cortland, convicted of the murder of his sweetheart, Grace Brown, is to die in the electric chair during the week beginning March 380.

INVOLVES $1,078,000,000. Russian Naval Programme Submitted to the Duma. St. Petersburg, Feb. 21.—Represen- tatives of the Russian admiralty have submitted to the commission of na- tional defense of the duma the finan- ofal outline of the much discussed na- val programme.. The matter was dis- cussed with open. doors instead of ‘in private, as had been expected. The programme is to be completed in 1917 and includes not only the con- ruction of a flest of baftleskips, But also a certain amount of hydrographic work at several of the ports of Rus- sia. The expenditures involved amount to $1,078,000,000 and increase yearly from the $43,500,000 already included in the budget of 1908 for the laying down of four new battleships to a maximum of $125,000,000 in the year 1914. The expenditure then decreases to $85,000,000 in 1918 and the subse- quent expenditures are to be main- tained at this figure. One of the fea- tures of the programme is a duplicate complement of guns for every ship to be constructed. In reply to a question Admiral Wi- renius, chief of the general staff of the navy, declares that the Russian yvards would be able to handle and complete the entire programme, in- cluding the installation of turbine ma- chinery .and other late developments in naval construction. The first ships called for are to be completed in four years and the others in three years after they are laid down. Endowment for Spelling Matches.

Prizes of $10, $6 and $4 are to be awarded yearly to the three who are last to be “spelled down,” STOESSEL IS CONVICTED. Death Sentence Accompanied by Rec- ommendation for Clemency.

Had Represented South Carolina in Congress for Years. Washington, Feb. 21.—Senator As- bury C. Latimer of South Carolina died at Providence hospital of peri- tonitis. He had been at the hospital since Sunday last, when he underwent an operation for appendicitis. It was then discovered that he was suffering with a far more serious ailment. The bowels had become twisted and his condition was such that surgeons held out little hope for his recovery. Senator Tillman announced the death of his colleague when the sen- ate convened and immediately ad- journment was taken. Senator Latimer was born July 31, 1851, near Lowndesville, 8. C.; was brought up on his father’s farm; spent much of his life in active par- ticipation in agricultural pursuits; was educated in the common schools then existing; took an active part in the memorable campaign of 1876; was elected to the Fifty-third, Fifty-fourth, Fifty-fifth, Fifty-sixth and Fifty-sev- enth congresses; was elected to the United States senate over J. G. Hvans to succeed John L. McLaurin and took his seat March 4, 1903, MOTHER'S PLEA UNAVAILING Asks Court’s Clemency for Kidnappers of Her Child. Chicago, Feb. 21.—Mrs. Oscar Wulff, mother of Lillian Wulff, after an in- tensely dramatic trial in which both she and her husband appeared as wit- nesses against the kidnappers of their eight-year-old daughter and during which the mother interrupted the pro- ceedings of the court by hysterical sobbing as the little girl told of the cruelty which she had suffered at the hands of her captors, cried out in pro- test when Judge Kersten sentenced the abductors, William Jones and his wife, Alzina Jones, to thirty and twenty-five years, Tespectively, in the state prison at Joliet. It was too severe, she declared. She had not supposed the law would im- pose any such penalty as that. The child was safe now and she was sure there was no need of such fearful punishment. The mother’s pleas, uttered in in- tensely dramatic tones, brought the case to a close. It was with difficulty that Mrs. Wulff finally was’ quieted sufficiently to be led away by her hus- band. The judge refused to be moved by her words and allowed the sen- tence to stand. Bank Cashier Pleads Gullty. Norfolk, Va., Feb. 21.—Alex B: Butt, caghier of the wrecked People’s bank of Portsmouth, Va. pleaded guilty upon three of the twenty-two indict- ments against him and after making restitution to the depositors to the extent of $87,000 on the total shortage of $252,068 was senienced by Judge Bain to three years in the peniten- tlary and to pay.a fine of $7,184. MOORS AGAIN ROUTED.

The Moors were rout- ed in each encounter. General A’Amade is preparing to make a con- centrated and impressive attack on the enemy at a point not far from Abdel Nerim. - Many Qirls Overcome by Smoke.

Johnson, a negro, was hanged here for the murder of his wife, whom he shot eighteen months ago because of jealousy.

Green, formerly private secretary to J. C. Fargo, president of the Amer- ican Express company, was arrested here at the request of the New York state authorities on charges of forgery and defalcation. Stevenson as He Talked. He used to stand on the hearth rugin the smoking room, says Walter Crane in his “An Artist’s Reminiscences” of Robert Louis Stevenson, the center of an admiring circle, and discourse very much in the same style as that in ‘which he wrote. It gave one the im- pression of artificiality rather—I mean his manner of speaking and choice of ‘words, as if carefully selected and cul- tivated. If a remark was offered by one of the company he would perhaps accept it and turn about, much as a-| conjurer does when he borrows a hand- kerchief or a hat from some one in his audience, or perhaps he would work it into his next sentence, returning it to his interlocutor improved—wrapped in Mékes the most nutri- tious food and the most dainty and delicious.

Great Events From Little Causes. While staying at the court of Fred- erick II. of Prussia Voltaire presented Mme. de Pompadour’s compliments to the king, who scornfully replied, “Je ne la connais pas.” Out of vengeance for so much insult, as she deemed it, madame induced the weakminded Lou- is XV. to convert his country’s long standing hostility against Austria into friendship. A Franco-Austrian army then took the field against Prussia, and as it was an easy matter for ma- daice to enlist the practical sympathy of Elizabeth of Russia, who had been the subject of Frederick’s indiscreet remarks also, half a million lives were lost.—London Notes and Queries. He Came Back at Her. “Many mendicants,” sald a New York charity official, “are humbugs, and we do well to refuse their requests for help. What excellent digs, though, they sometimes give us in return. I remember the case of a farmer’s wife ‘who refused a tramp a night’s lodging. “ “Well, then, ma’am,’ said the tramp, “would you mind if I slept in that big meadow there behind your barn? “‘No, said the woman, ‘you may sleep there if you like. “‘One thing more, ma’am,” said the tramp, ‘before I say good night. Will you please have me called at 4 o'clock sharp? I want to catch the cattle train to market.’ ” silver paper, metaphorically speaking. His personal appearance was quite as unusual as his speech—a long, pale, thin face and lank hair, quick and pen- etrating eyes and a rather sardonic smile. The world in general, especial- ly in clubland, wore white shirts and collars as a rule, but Stevenson sported black ones. A Queer Ad. “An Italian with a piano organ was | turning the handle of his machine rap- idly, but not a note was to be heard. I stopped at once. What on earth could be the matter?” The speaker, an advertising agent, smiled. “Finally,” he said, “I went up close to the man. “‘A breakdown? I asked. “He pointed to a small placard on the organ’s front, and I read: ““The interior of the instrument has been removed. The relief that in con- sequence you experlence is as nothing compared with that which immediate- 1y follows a dose of Sure Cure Cough Mixture. “It was an original ad.” the expert ended, “and I followed it up. From what the Sure Cure people told me, 1 found that the same ingenuity and money put in legitimate newspaper advertising would have brought 50 per cent more returns.” —New Orleans ‘Times-Democrat. Some Theatrical Jokes. sy In a performance of “The Lady of the Lake” the actor who took the part of Roderick Dhu was known to be in pecuniary difficulties. When Roderick gave the line, “I am Roderick Dhu,” Fitzjames responded, “Yes, and your rent’s due too.” On the production of a piece called “The Spy” the early acts showed that it was going to prove a failure. So when at a certain point a character had to rush on and shout, “Five hundred pounds for the spy!” the author-actor, who was concealed behind a rock, arose and cried, “It's yours — copyright, manuseript and parts!” That was the end of the per- formance. ‘When eating takes place on the stage, the temptations to play tricks with the food are naturally great.
