Plain or wild oats? The temperance people have suc- ceeded in closing all the Detroit saloons on Sunday. It’s the city of the Straights now, all right. We are assured that there was‘‘a fleeting hint of spring in the air” yesterday. Some one must have been trying out an Easter bonnet. Isn’t there just the faitenst suspi- cion of disingenuousness in the St. Louis convention of hoboes “‘de- manding that the national govern- ment shall insure all its citizens against idleness.” r Three Queer Things. The curious things which occur in the world on a given day would no doubt If collected excite the wonder of the most Incredulous. Yet in a single mewspaper there was recently founa an account of a woman who was guilty of so infamous a proceeding as going to sleep at a shop while the as- sistant was in the act of showing her gome dress stuffs, accompanying the exhibition with the usual eloquence of these individuals. The second related the acuteness of two tramps who conceived the idea of going to a fancy dress ball In thelr ordinary attlre. As may be imagined, they devoted the best part of their time to a serlous inroad on the re- sources of the supper room, much to the amusement of the whole party, who naturally thought they were guests who had been invited to the entertalnment and who, having made themselves up with exceptional skill for thelr assumed parts, were carrying out the idea of the characters they represented for the purpose of the jest. The third story was that of an ab- sentminded young woman who was playing with a pair of scissors and proceeded to trim off her eyebrows quite unconscious of what she was doing.—Pearson’s Weekly. Benton and Barton. In the “Thirty Years In the United States Senate,” by Thomas Hart Ben- ton, Missouri’s famous United States senator, there s scant mention of Ben- ton’s colleague from Missouri, David Barton. The only place in which his name occurs is where Senator Benton gives the roll call of the senate, and Barton’s name of course is therein contained. Benton undertook to pun- Ish Barton by ignoring him and thus relegate the first United States sena- tor from Missouri to oblivion. Barton had brought about Benton’s election to the senate. Barton was first named by the legislature, and there was a long contention as to the second senator- ship. Finally Barton's friendship for Benton brought about Benton's elec- tlon. Later the two quarreled over the appointment of an Indian agent in the far west and drifted further and fur- ther apart. Finally the relations be- tween the two senators became such that they scarcely spoke to one an- other when they met.—Kansas City Star. The Injured One. A gentleman owning a sugar estate In Demerara went out to visit it for the first time. The day after his arrival he stood watching the punts bringing the cane home. A young negro boy ‘who was driving the mules, wishing to Increase the speed of them, struck one of them with his whip. The mule promptly responded by launching out ‘with his heels and dealt the boy a klck on the head which stretched him on the ground, where he lay rubbing his woolly pate on the spot where the kick had been received. “Is he hurt? Is he hurt?” cried the planter in alarm. A full grown negro, hearing the expressions of concern, sprang forward hastily and, raising the mule’s heels, shouted out: “No, boss! That mule him walk tendah fo’ a day or two, but him no burt!”—Chambers’ Journal, 7 Thoughtful. Bingleton—Your wife appears to be an unusually thoughtful woman. Wed- derly—That's what she is. Why, you couldn’t imagine half the things she thinks when I am detained downtown late. | Nothing makes a woman prouder than to be able to refer to her “old purse.”—Chicago Record-Herald, Water and Life. Of all the conditions preparatory to life the presence of water, composed of oxygen aud hydrogen, is at once the essential and the most worldwlide, for if water be present the presence of othier necessary elements is probably assured. If water exist, that fact goes ball for the neces: temperature, the gamut of life being coextensive with the existence of waler as such. It Is so cousequentially, life being impossi- ble without water. Whatever the plan- et, this is of necessity true. But the absolute degrees of temperature with- in which life can exist vary according to the mass of the body, another of the ways in which were size tells. On the earth 212 degrees I limits the range et the top and 32 degrees F. at the bot- tom in the case of fresh water, 27 de- grees I°. in the case of salt. On a smaller planet both limits would be lowered, the top one the most. On Mars the boiling point would probably be about 110 degrees F. Secondly, from the general initial oneness of thelr constituents a planet that still pos- sesses water will probably retain the other substances that are essential to life—gases, for the reason that water vapor is next to hydrogen and hellum the lightest of them all, and solids be- cause their weight would still more conduce to keep them there. Water, indeed, acts as a solution to the whole problem.—Professor Lowell's “The Ev- olution of Life” in Century Magazine. Only an Office Boy. “If you want a ready-to-hand study in the downright cussedness of human pnature unwarped,” said an Insurance agent, “just watch the office boys in your own or any other place of busi- ness. In four cases out of five the thing will come out this way: “A new boy is engaged. He is meek and mild, apologetic of bearing and courteous of speech. He is apparently seeking an excuse for daring to make a living. He looks reproachfully at the head office boy, who orders him around in a rough, catch-as-catch-can style. Such rudeness pains him. “Note this boy a little later. His rude superior has resigned or been dis- missed, and he is now head office boy. Is he meek and mild, apologetic and reproachful? Say, he's a worse young ruffian than his predecessor—bullyrags the newcomer, ignores the cuspidor, uses language not fit to print and comes dangerously near ‘sassing’ his employer. He knows it all, and a lit- tle more. “There are exceptions, but they prove the rule.”—New York Globe. A Big Grasshopper. A geographical expedition which set out for Australia on an exploring and mapmaking tour had engaged a negro cook, who took great interest in every- thing he saw. While the party was en route a kangaroo broke out of the grass and made for the horizon with pro- diglous leaps, an event that interested the colored gentleman exceedingly. “You all have pretty wide meadows hereabouts, 1 reckon,” he said to the native who was guiding the party. “Not any larger than those of other countries,” returned the guide most po- litely. “Well, there must be mighty power- ful high grass roundabouts, heh?’ he insisted. “Not that I know of,” replied the guide. “Why do you ask such odd questions 7" “Why, T'll tell you, boss. I was think- in’ of the mighty uncommon magnitude of them grasshoppers.”—Kansas City Independent. An Artist’s Ruse. A Roman cavalier commissioned a great artist to paint his portrait, no definite price being agreed upon. When the portrait was finished, the painter asked 100 crowns In payment. The highborn sitter, amazed at the demand, returned no more nor dared to send for his counterfeit presentment, whereup- on the artist hit upon the happy expe- dlent of first painting bars across the portrait, then affixing the doleful -leg- end, “Imprisoned for debt,” and finally placing it in a prominent part of his studio, to which Roman nobles fre- quently resorted. Ere long a rich rela- tive came to the rescue and released his kinsman. Newton’s Telescope. Newton’s telescope is a clumsy look- ing instrument, nine Inches in length, two inches in aperture and capable of magnifying thirty-eight times. It was entirely made by Newton himself, who first ‘exhibited it before the Royal so- clety In 1671, and more than 100 years later his successor In the presidency of the society laid before George III. Sir William Herschel’s scheme for mak- ing a telescope on Newton’s plan, to be forty feet in length and four feet In aperture.—Pall Mall Gazette. Financial Expedient. Shoeblack—Shine, sir? Four sous? Passerby—No, thank you. Shoeblack— Two sous? Passerby—No. Shoeblack— For npothing, then? Passerby — All right, if you like. Shoeblack (after having finished one shoe)—It’s 6 sous to clean the other, sir.—Nos Loisirs. Kept Busy. One of the contemporary poets asks, “Where are the bright girls of the past?” Our own observation is that Bome of them are administering cau- tious doses of paregoric to the bright girls of the future. Tender Hearted. Mrs. Muggins—My husband is vwo tender hearted to whip the children. Mrs. Buggins—Humph! My husband is so tender hearted that he can’t even beat the carpet! Where envying is, there is confusion and every evil work.—New Testament. Self Composed. She—He is a person of perfect ease and possession and is thoroughly at home anywhere. He—Yes, he even has the faculty of making you feel a total stranger in your own house.—London 'Tit-Bits. Fear and Danger. Nervous Old Lady (to deck hand on steamboat) — Mr. Steamboatman, 1 there any fear of danger? Deck Hand (carelessly)—Plenty of fear, ma’am, but not a bit of danger, Whistler's Odd Ways. Lord Redesdale once gave a descrip- tlon of Whistler's methods to a meet- ing in London in support of a memo- rial to the great artist. He was paint- Ing, he said, a portrait of a lady. ‘Whistler took up his position at one end of the room with his sitter and the canvas at the bther end.. For a long time he stood looking at his model, holding In his hand a huge brush full of color, such a brush as a man would use to whitewash a house. Then he rushed forward and smashed the brush full of color into the canvas. Then he ran back, and forty or fifty times he repeated this. At the end of that time there stood out on the canvas a space which exactly indicated the fig- ure, the form and the expression of the sitter. There was a pathetic story attaching to the pictuve. The bailiffs were In the house when the pleture was finished. That was quite a com- mon occurrence, and Whistler only laughed, but he went round his studic with a knife and deliberately destroyed all his canvases, including this picture which was to have been his (Lord Redesdale’s).—Dundee Advertiser. The Gentle Rebuff. “Immeasurable are the rebuffs that the helpers of the poor, the seekers after charity for their suffering broth- ers undergo,” said a New York charity organization official. “A friend of mine, a Methodist minister in a small western town, told me the other day of his last rebuff, a not unkind one. Entering the office of the local weekly, the minister said to the editor: “‘I am sollciting aid for'a gentleman of refinement and intelligence who is in dire need of a little ready money, but who is far too proud a man tc make his sufferings known.’ ““Why, exclaimed the editor, push- ing up his eyeshade, ‘I'm the only chap in the village who answers that de- scription. What’s this gentleman’s name?” ‘I regret,’ said the minister, ‘that I am not at liberty to disclose it.’ ““Why, it must be me,’ said the ed- itor. ‘It is me. It's me, sure. Heaven prosper you, parson, in your good work.”” An Unburied Picture. Rossett! secured permission In 186§ to reopen the coffin of his wife in order to secure the manuscripts of some poems which he had buried with het seven years before. Some such incident might have oc: curred in connection with J. M. W Turner if his desire to be buried wrap- ped up in his own painting of “Car- thage” had been carrled out. There was some difficulty in selling the paint- ing, and the artist kept the canvas by him. He always said he would be wrapped in it when he was buried and even went so far as to ask Chantrey if as his executor he would fulfill his wishes on that point. “No doubt,” answered the sculptor, “I shall bury you rolled up in your pic- ture if it is one of the conditions ot your will, but I would take you up next day and unroll you!” The Master’s Title. Professor Key when head master ot a large London school was one of the most genial gentlemen that ever filled that position. He was fond of encour- aging fun in his boys and was not un- willing to recount occasionally during class time when anything prompted it the manners and customs of countries he had visited. On one occasion he was telling his class about Spain and sald: “Do you know, boys, that when a man attains to eminence there he 18 not called ‘sir, but is given the title of ‘don? " One of the boys here called out: “Then, I suppose, sir, they would call you Don Key?” The gravity of the class was com- pletely upset for the remainder of the afternoon.—Strand Magazine. Price of His Treason. Benedict Arnold died in London June 14, 1801. His life after his treason was a most unhappy one. He was avolded by men of honor and on many occa: slons deliberately insulted. He re- celved a considerable sum of money from the British government and made several unsuccessful attempts to en- gage in business in British America and the West Indles and finally re- turned to London, where he died in obscurity. His second son, born in 1780, entered the British army in 1798, served with credit in many parts of the world and three years before his death in 1854 was made a lieutenant general.—Household Companion. Running No Risk. “What,” asks the maiden aunt, “go- ing to marry that Mr. Newwun? Why, you hardly know the man, Imogene. In the few days you have been ac- quainted with him you cannot possibly have learned anything of his family or antecedents or habits or personal eir- cumstances.” “That is true, Aunt Keturah. But you have always told me that no wom- an who knows anything about a man will marry him.”—Success Magazine, A Definition. “Paw,” asked a thoughtful lad, wrin- kling his brow, “what’s a pessimist?’ “A pessimist, John J.” replied. his father, “is a man who, after a cyclone has blown his house away with him in {t, goes back and -grumbles at his lot.” —Puck. The Charges. Ford—Your lawyer made some very severe charges against the defendant, didn’t he? Brown—Ye-e-e-e-s, but you ought to see how he charged me!— Liverpool Mercury. Great minds are wills; others, only ‘wishes.—German Proverb. The Poet’s Son. “Why, Freddy, how dirty you are, and only yesterday you wrote a verse for papa’s birthday, promising always to wash your hands clean.” “Well, mamma, that was only a poetic license.”—Fliegende Blatter. Asserting Himself. He—WIll you be my wife? She—The 1dea! Don't be ridiculous. He—Yes, 1 know it sounds ridiculous; but, then, I'm not so particular as some men are —Boston Transcript. —— CHIED PRIEST NEAT Chancellor Dunne Says Anarch- ists Are After Him, PASTOR OF ITALIAN PARISH Declares He Has Been Threatened for Years by Members of Anti-Clerical Organizations, but Intends to Go Ahead and Do His Duty. Chicago, Feb. 2'—"“A murder will be committed in Chicago within a month similar to the Denver assas- sination, where Rev, Father Leo Hein- richs was shot down while adminis- tering holy communion in St. Bliza- beth’s Roman Catholic church,” as- serted Chancellor R. M. Dunne of the Clileago archdiocese. “I am positive that anarchists, anti- olericals, or whatever they call them- selves, have prepared lists of priests and clergy to be killed and am cer- tain that some Chicago man has been marked. “For a number of years I have been threatened with having = numerous knives shoved between my ribs, but 80 far I have come out alive. Il just go ahead and do my duty and work and try to take care of myself.” In the Feb. 8 (1908) publication of the Tribuna Italiana Transatlantica, of which Mastro Valerio is editor, the following alleged threat was printed: “We have succeeded in chasing Father Dunne from Forquer street. They have, indeed, promoted him, but it was by the feet. The anti-clerical Giordano Bruno club will do the rest in order that the insult may be en- tirely removed.” IRELAND ARGUES FOR BILL Provides for Military Education in Civil Institutions. ‘Washington, Feb. 2 .—The Haskins bill te promote military education in civil justitutions of learning in the United States was up for hearing be- fore the house committee on military affairs and among those who spoke in its support was Archbishop Ireland. The bill extends to such institutions the loan of military accouterments and stores and an annual cash bonus for each pupil ranging from $100 to $50. The bill also provides for an ex- amination each June of graduates of these institutions by officers of the regular army, the graduates who suc- cessfully pass to be enrolled in the war department for future commis- slons.

Parents Held Responsible. Brazil, Ia., Feb. 2 .—A coroner’s Jury has brought in a verdict blaming Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Palmer, believers in healing by prayer, for the death of their ten-year-old boy. While utter- ing the prayer, “God is my life,” the son of the couple died at their home here Sunday, after having been sick with pneumonia for two weeks. ARE YOU WRETCHED IN BAD WEATHER? Keeping the Kidneys Well Has Kept Many Bemidji People Well. Many Bemidiji people find that bad weather brings on a dull pain in the back, or rheumatic aching, neuralgia, nervousness, irritability and weakness.. If, when you get wet or take cold, it ‘‘settles on the kidneys,” and there is a shivery, chilly sensation in the back, it shows kidney weakness, which is often the beginning of disease. Doan’s Kidney Pills should be used persistently until the chilly feeling 1s gone, and the flow of urine is natural. Doan’s Kidney Pills have saved Bemidji people much suffering. Mrs, L. Kane, living at 615 Fourth St., Bemidji, Minn., says: “I had been a sufferer from kid- ney complaint for a number of years. Doan’s Kidney Pills have given me the greatest relief and I 'tam willing to have my name used as I am confident anyone using them will receive great benefit. My trouble seemed to be of a dropsical nature and I suffered much from rheumatic pains. My system seemed to be filled with uric acid and I felt very miserable indeed. I procured Doan’s Kidney Pills at the Owl Drug Store, used them carefully as directed and derived great benefit.” Forsale by all dealers, Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N.

Denver, Feb. 2.—With the solem- nity and reverence due to his holy position and spotless character the body of Rev. Father Leo Heinrichs was taken from St. Blizabeth’s church to the Union station, where it was placed aboard the Burlington train to be forwarded to Paterson, N. J., where the Franciscan Fathers have their American headquarters. The funeral procession was a not- able one and was witnessed by thou- sands who stood bareheaded as the hearse passed. The parade was led by a squad of police and a company of the Knights of St. Johm, in full uniform and with drawn swords, act- ed as a guard of honor. The Knights of Columbus and representatives of numerous Catholic societies followed on foot and a long string of carriages brought up the rear. ‘When the services were begun every available seat was filled and a crowd of 5,000 persons waited pa- tiently outside until the church cere- mony was over. Inside the church were many of the prominent citizens of Denver, including Governor Henry A. Buchtel and Mayor Robert W. Speer. Solemn high mass was recited and the service was impressive. Rev. Father Willlam O'Ryan delivered the funeral germon, in which he highly eulogized the martyred priest. Foraker’s Negro Soldier Bill. ‘Washington, Feb. 2',.—Senator For- aker has introduced a bill providing for the re-enlistment of such dishon- orably discharged negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry as were shown by the testimony in the investi- gation of the Brownsville affray not to have been connected with the af- fair. in’s Victim Jealousy Cause of Double Murder. Cleveland, Feb. 2'.—Crazed by Jealousy Andrew Kalinoski murdered his wife Katie and Jacob Schmelzer, a boarder in his wife’s home. The murderer then fled.
