When a sailor falls overboard he feels as if he were all in. Many a wise-looking man is un- able to deliver the goods. The experience a man buys is alw delivered a little too late. Go to a tailor for a wedding suit and to a lawyer for a divorce suit. Almost every day the average man wonders why he did such a foolish thing. A woman never asks a man if he loves her unless she is sure of the answer. Some men get'out of practice because they spend all their time preaching. if an way to It is doubtful, however, asphalt lake will pave the war with Venezuela. A man who threatened to blow up an Omaha bank was given a din- ner. Other men who blow np their wives are deprived of dinner. “Kansas is not a geographical location: it is a state of mind,” says William Allen White. That explains why the state has gone prohibition. It is trying the water cure. REPORT ON JUDGE WILFLEY It Opposes Impeachment but Criticises Jurist. ‘Washington, March 26.—Impeach- ment proceedings will not be insti- tuted in the United States senate against Lebbeus R. Wilfley, judge of the United States court for China, as a result of the charges of misbehavior in office brought against him by Lorin Andrews and other American lawyers resident in Shanghai. The report of the special committee, consisting of Representatives Moon of Pennsyl- vania, Webb of North Carolina and Diekema of Michigan, appointed by Speaker Cannon to determine whether the charges were based upon facts sufficient to warrant impeachment of Judge Wilfley, has submitted its re- port to the house committee on judic- iary. This report is in the nature of a verdict, holding Judge Wilfley guilt- less of the bad motives necessary to a legal cause for impeachment, but find- ing him guilty—though more by force- ful inference than by direct accusa- tion—of high handedness and harsh- ness and some serious mistakes in the conduct of his court. The investigation by the special committee followed the introduction in the house by Mr. Waldo of New York of a memorial comprising twen- ty-nine distinct charges made by Mr. Andrews and his colleagues. In, the report of the committee, an exhaustive review written by Chairman Moon and concurred in by Mr. Webb and Mr. Diekema, each of these charges and the real facts relating thereto, as brought out by the testimony taken, are judicially discussed and disposed of and the conclusions announced. A Doubtful Guarantee. The Arabs and, indeed, all Moslems have the practice of re-enforcing prom- ises by adding to their word of honor the Arabic phrase Inshalah (“Please God”). How much meaning it conveys in some lands of the east is told in the pages of “In Moorish Captivity.” The pious proviso is a very useful formula to the Moors and is frequently used In making promises that they have no intention whatever of keeping, as they can then take refuge behind the Almighty when they are taxed with their breach of faith, There is a story told of a man who kept a shop in Gibraltar and who knew the ways of the Moor. To him one day came one of the faithful, who was desirous of buying some cloth. On being Informed that the price was $2 a yard, payment in sixty days, he replied: “All right. I will take so much and will pay you in sixty days, Inshallah.” “No,” sald the vender, “the price is $2, payment in sixty days. For sixty days, Inshallah, the price is $2.50.” Our Language. An intelligent foreigner is said to have expressed himself after the fol- lowing fashion on the absurdities of the English language: “When I dis- covered that I was quick, I was fast; if I stood firm, I was fast; if I spent too freely, I was fast, and that not to eat was to fast, I was discouraged. But when I came across the sentence, “The first one won one $1 prize,’ 1 was tempted to give up English and learn some other language.” The Choice. A young man stood before the mirror completing the finishing tonches to a tollet of which he felt justly proud. He was going to call upon the girl's widowed mother to ask for her daugh- ter's hand in marrlage. At last everything was complete ex- cept his crava Before him on the dressing table spread the two cravats between which his choice rested, one, a neat black with a narrow white stripe, which be bad bonght himself; the oth- er a cravat which the girl had given him for a present, a tie such as only women purchase, “If 1 wear the black and white one, I'll look my best.” he mused. “Oun the other hand, if I wear the one she gave me I'll please her immensely, but will look like a fright.” Then he whistled, walked around the room and carefully tied his cravat. The mother said, *“Yes,” although there were tears in her eyes, and the girl thought he was the handsomest and best dressed man in the world. Which cravat did he wear?—Bohe- mian Magazine. In the Ghost Laying Business. This advertisement appeared in Lon- don in 1777: “Haunted Houses.—Whereas there are mansions and castles in England and Wales which for many years have been uninhabited and are now falling into decay by their being haunted and visited by evil spirits or the spirits of those who for unknown reasons are rendered miserable even In the grave, a gentleman who has made the tour of Europe, of a particular turn of mind and deeply skilled in the abstruse and sacred sclence of exorcism, hereby of- fers his assistance to any owner or proprietor of such premises and under- takes to render the same free from the visitation of such spirits, be thelr cause what it may, and render them tenantable and useful to the proprie- tors. Letters addressed to the Rev. John Jones, 30 St. Martin’s lane, duly answered and interview given if re- quired. N. B.—Rooms rendered habit- able in six days.” Durability of Glass. It does not seem odd to find inscrip- tions written ages ago still visible on the Tower of London or on the steeple of some cathedral, but one would hard- ly look on a fragile pane of glass in a common window for characters 200 years old. A notable case in point is that of the old house in London where- in the notorious Jack Sheppard once lived as a carpenter’s apprentice. One of the window panes still bears an in- scription cut in it by a glazier’s dia- mond recording the name and address of a man who preceded Jack’s master in that bouse. The inscription is, “John Woolley Brand, Painter and Glazier, March 12, 1706.” That was nine years before the com- ing to the house of the famous Jack Sheppard and over 200 years ago. Alexander the Great's Escape. As a young man Alexander the Great escaped death in a curious man- ner. A great banquet was being held at Pella, the capital of Macedonia, at which were present the future con- queror of the world and his father, Philip. During the feast one of the guests proposed a toast and prayer of- fensive to Alexander, who hurled a goblet at him. King Philip, angry at this outrage, started up, drew his sword and rushed furiously upon his son, but he had drunk so deeply that before he reached him he fell prostrate among the terrified merrymakers. Not a whit perturbed at this extraordinary escape from death, Alexander retorted, “Here is a man preparing to cross from Europe Into Asia who yet cannot step surely from one couch to another.” London’s First Pawnbroker. No one would guess that “uncle” had so illustrious an ancestor as a right reverend prelate, yet this seems to be 8o, for pawnbroking was first intro- duced into England by Michael de Northburg, bishop of London, in Ed- ward II1’s reign. He set up an estab- lishment for lending money to the poor- er Londoners on portable property, and, according to Dugdale, if any sum so borrowed was not paid at the expira- tion of a year the preacher at St. Paul’s cross was to announce that the pledge would be sold In fourteen days unless it was previously redeemed.—Pearson’s Weekly. The Servant. “Remember,” said the patriot, “that so long as. you hold public office you are a servant of the people, a plain servant.” “Great Scott!” answered the subur- ban resident who had just been elect- ed. “Can I act as haughty and over- bearing and take as many holidays as all that?”—Washington Star. Hard. “Pa, is it true that all men are made of dust?” “I’ve had reason to think lately,” re- plied the man who had been trying to get his notes extended, “that a good many of them are made of cement.”— Chicago Record-Herald. Women as Dramatists. I have yet to see a woman’s play in which the male characters shall seem real and vital. As portrayers of a sex not their own, men have a decided ad- vantage over women.—Max Beerbohm. Partial Lapse. “Did you cry, Ethel?” (Doubtfully) “N-no, ma’am.” “Are you quite sure?” (With sudden illumination) “I booed, but I didn’t hoo.”—Puck. Straws show which way the wind is blowing, but not how soon it may change. Women In Japan. A Japanese saying runs: “Woman is an unmanageable creature; flatter her, she is elated; thrash her, she weepeth; kill her, her spirit haunts you.” ‘We would suggest that the best rem- edy is to love her.—Japan Times. Carlyle’s Creed. Man is born to expend every par- ticle of strength that God Almighty has given him in doing the work he finds he is fit for, to stand it out to the best breath of life and do his best. ~Thomas Carlyle. VANDERBILTS ESTRANGED. Mrs. Alfred G. Quits Husband’s Home at Newport. New York, March 26.—It has just become known here that Mrs. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt has removed her personal effects from Oakland farm, Newport, her husband’s country home. Her home during the summer, it is understood, will be at the residence of her brother, Amos Tuck French, at Tuxedo. Mr. Vanderbilt, who recent- ly came to New York from London, is now at the Hotel Plaza. It is said MRS. ALFRED G. VANDERBILT. he will return to London soon and oc- cupy a house he has rented for the season. The announcement that Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt will not make New- port their home this summer has oc- casioned much surprise in society cir- cles. Alfred Vanderbilt inherited upwards of $60,000,000 from his father, the late Cornelius Vanderbilt. Much of his time had been spent abroad during the past year. Mrs. Vanderbilt was Miss Elsie French, daughter of the late Francis Ormond French, presi- dent of the Manhattan Trust com- pany. ON CHARGE OF LIBEL. Minister Arrested for Remarks Made at a Funeral. Reading, Pa., March 26.—Charging libellous remarks at the funeral of his wife Jeremiah Werner caused the ar- rest of Rev. H. H. Stettler. The ac- cused entered bail in $500 for a hear- ing on Monday, April 20. At the funeral of Mrs. Werner last Sunday at St. John’s Lutheran church Mr. Stettler preached the sermon. It Is alleged he said that the husband knocked his wife down a week before she took to her bed; that the woman had no shoes or clothing that were fit to wear and for that reason did not go to church as often as the other women of the congregation. Students Must Be Vaccinated. Minneapolis, March 26.—All stu- dents failing to show satisfactory proof of recent vaccination, or a cer- lificate showing that they have been vaccinated, are to be barred from the University of Minnesota. This order has been issued by the state board of health, through its secretary, Dr. H. M. Bracken, and it goes into effect at once. Frequency of smallpox cases among the students is the cause of the order.

LLINOIS FOR BV State Commitiee So Declares in Emphatic Language. SULLIVAN MEN IN CONTROL Resolution Endorsing the Nebraskan Adopted by a Vote of Thirty-three to One—State Convention to Be Held on April 23. Chicago, ‘March 26.—In a harmoni- ous meeting of the Democratic state central committee held here Willlam J. Bryan was endorsed for the presi- dency in emphatic language. It was decided that the state convention should be held in Springfleld, IIl,, on April 23. The friends of Roger Sul- livan, Illinois member of the Demo- cratic national committee, were in complete control of the meeting. The only point upon which there appeared to be a division of sentiment was over the manner of selecting delegates to the state convention. In this the Sul- livan men' won their point, defeating the followers of M. F. Dunlap of Jack- sonville, Ill, who wanted to put through a rule requiring county oon- ventions to be held. The resolution endorsing Bryan was adopted by a vote of 83 to 1, James H. Donohue of East St. Louis being the only dis- senter. Sullivan voted in the afirma- tive. General Lockout Threatened. New Haven, Conn.,, March 26.—As an outcome of a strike of the cigar- makers in the factory of J. P.

This will af- fect approximately 2,000 men. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS. The British premier, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, is steadily grow- ing worse. Baron Yanosuke Iwasaki is dead at Tokio.

He REMARKABLE RECORD =) MADE IN NORTHWEST Young Man with New Theox;y Is Astonish- ingly Successful in Minneapolis. The remarkable success that has at- tended L. T. Cooper during the past year has not been confined to any one locality, but is so widespread that the young man is now a well-known figure in most of the leading cities of the country. Mr. Cooper believes that the stom- ach is the foundation for most il health, and claims that his prepara- tion, by regulating the stomach, is a true specific for most diseases. The following extract from the Tribune of Minneapolis gives an idea of the sur- prising number of people who are ac- cepting Cooper’s theory. The article was one of many that appeared during Cooper’s stay in Minneapolis, and is as follows: “The sale of Cooper’s preparation is now phenomenal in this city, and| an estimate made today seems to indi- cate beyond all doubt that it will equal burg during the thirty days Mr, Coops er spent in that city. “During the past twentytwo days Mr. Cooper has been in Minneapolis, the sale of his preparation has aver aged about two thousand bottles a day, ‘When the amount of medicine disposed of throughout the state is added to this, the amount will be doubled. Therefore, the young man has sold in twenty-two days eighty-eight thousand bottles of his medicine in the state of Minnesota alone, which is a truly re- markable record. “During the past week 80 many hun- dreds of Minneapolis people have been calling to thank Cooper for the good he has accomplished with his medi- cine, that it is safe to say that his visit will long be remembered by the sick of the city.” h We sell the famous Cooper prepara- | tion which has made a similar record : to the above wherever introduced, i the large figures reported from Pitts-]—.
