Pennyroyal and Flsas. ‘When it comes to talking about fleas the writer knows just where he is at. When he was a boy the country swarmed with them, and perhaps one of the thin Le will remember longest will be the sleepless nights and the tor ments that the fleas gave him when sitting in Quaker meetings, where he did not dare to scratch. For many years the people seemed to put up with them as an evil from which there was no escape, yet there was an efficient remedy growing on every farm in the shape of a modest little plant called pennyroyal, which is familiar to every country bred boy. The odor of this plant seems very offensive to many kinds of insects. A freshly bruised bunch of the plant put in a small bag and rubbed on the bed linen and ther left in the bed will evict the last flea in a very few minutes. A few drops of the essential oil of the plant, which can be got at any drug store, rubbed on one's underclothing will drive them from the person immediately and if sprinkled about a room infested with fleas will clear them out.—Forest and Stream. % Before the Mirror. He is one of those persons with a mad passion for figuring out “How much,” “How long,” etc., and was walt- ing for his wife, who was adjusting her hat before the mirror. They were going to the theater and had ten min- utes to catch their train. Presently a sparkle came into his eye, and he fish- ed a pencil and paper from his pocket. That kind of man always has a pencil and paper even in his evening clothes. “Do you know.” he said presently, looking up at his wife, who had finish ed adjusting her hat, “that I figure, basing my figures on observation, that a girl from six to ten spends an aver- age of seven minutes a day before her mirror, from ten to fifteen a quarter of an hour, from fifteen to twenty twenty- two minutes. A woman of seventy will have spent 5,862 hours, or eight solid months, counting day and night. Now, a woman of your age has spent”’— “Never mind what I've spent,” she sald coldly, removing her hat. “You have spent fifteen minutes figuring it out, and we have missed that train.”— 8t. Louis Republic. Changed the Name. He had given up town life, with its cares and dissipation, and was living in the country. “What a charming cottage!” exclaim. ed a dainty lady visitor from London. “What have you called it?” “I have called it the Nutshell,” he told her, and she exclaimed: “Oh, how delightful?” After tea and cakes she took the train back to London, where she re- mained for six months. Then she “ran down” to see him again. “As sweet as ever!” she told him. “But you have changed the name! Why is it now Chez Nous?” “Why?” he responded, with some warmth. “Because I was tired of be- Ing jollied; Because I was tired of being kidded! There isn’t a boy for a mile round who hasn't stopped and rung the doorbell every time he passed to ask if the colonel was in!"—London Telegraph. A Surprise Coming. A horse was standing along Chestnut street the other day anchored by an iron weight. The horse, not knowing ‘what else to do to pass away the time, was industriously chewing the strap. ‘A newsboy happened along, and after watching the animal for awhile he grinned a cluster of grins and turned to 2 man who was standing near. “Don’t say a word,” he gleefully re- marked. “Old Umpire here is going ta have the surprise of his life in a few minutes.” “What is the matter with him?” ask- ed the man, glancing first at the kid and then at the horse, “Nothin’ is the matter with him,” was the happy rejoinder of the news. boy. “He may eat the strap all right, but when he gets down to that welght he will think he has struck a boardin’ house.”—Philadelphia Telegraph. A “Washing” Mission. The visiting housekeeper recently de- scribed in the New York Sun must be a stout armed angel or she would never have lived to write the entry in her daybook quoted below; “Washed the sick woman in bed, ‘washed and dressed four children, did the washing, scrubbed two floors, washed the dishes, washed the win- dows.” A discriminating glance at this en- try will disclose the fact that she ‘washed about everything in the house. How the head of the family escaped the wash rag is not stated. Perhaps there was no head. Mr. Henpeck—I hear that young Jones and his wife are not getting along very well. Mrs. Henpeck (au- thoritatively)—Jones should never have married when he did. He was too young to realize the step he was tak- ing. Mr. Henpeck—Yes, I know, but I like the boy. We have many things In common.—Puck. o 8he Lost Her Shoe. ‘While in Samoa Robert Louis Steven- son and his wife in a great measure dld as the Romans did—that is to say, as the Samoans did. It was Louls’ custom to lie abed late of a morning and spend the remainder of the time under a tree on the hill clad in light pajamas, the dress of the native Ka- naka. With his wife it was the same. Stays were unknown to her and a curl- ing iron a dim recollection of a shady past. It was while Stevenson and his wife were living at Apia, in Samoa, that Mr. Heywood was appointed con- sul there for this country. Shortly after his arrival in the country he ar- ranged for a reception to the English, German and American residents of the country that they might meet him in his official capacity and he them as “citizens of Samoa.” Of course an in- vitatlon was sent Robert Louls Steven- son and his wife. Two days before the date of the function Mr. Heywood was surprised to receive a note from Mr. Stevenson sent by courler. The note read as fellows: Mrs. Robert Louls Stevenson and Rob- ert Louls Stevenson -accept Consul Hey- wood's Invitation with pleasure and as- sure him that they will be present on the evening of the 23d If by that time Mrs. Stevenson finds her other shoe. Ever thine, ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON. . Ancient Fashion Jargon. The language of the fashion plate and the woman’s paper is sufficiently appalling to the mere man even in these days of emancipated and, we may presume, more grammatical wom- anhood; but, according to an extract from a fashion journal of 1787, the jar- gon of those days was even more as- tounding. This is how the paper de- scribed the dress of a certain Mile, D. at the opera: “She appeared in a dress of ‘stifled sighs,’ ornamented with ‘superfluous regrets,” the bodice cut in a ‘perfect candor’ point and trimmed with ‘in- discreet complaints.’ Her hair wae dressed in ‘sustained sentiments,’ with a headdress of ‘sustained conquest,’ and ‘downcast eye’ ribbons, and her collar was ‘beggar on horseback’ color.” No doubt all these marvelous terms conveyed some meaning to the fash- ionable woman of the days when French society danced on the edge of the volcano of 1789, but to their de- scendants of today they have abso- lutely no meaning. The First Hello Girl. They were seated around a table in a well known cafe, and the conver- sation had turned upon the develop- ment of the flylng machine and other fruits of the inventive genius of the day. “Tut, tut!” exclaimed a solemn faced, lantern jawed member of the party. “What of it? The old folks were not 5o slow. Look at the telephone, claim- ed as a modern invention. Why, say, it's the oldest on record.” “You better see your doctor, What's the matter with you?” asked another. “Oh, I mean it” sald the solemn faced man. “Telephone service dates back to the garden of Eden—that’s where it originated. The garden’s call was 2-8-1 Apple.” Then he dodged the remnant of a sandwich, reached for his hat and was gone.—New York Globe. The Insufferable Anticipation. A young Scotch emigrant was brought before the magistrate of a Nova Scotia court, charged with hav- Ing deserted his work on a certaln farm without giving due notice to his employer. When asked what he had to say In his defense, he replied, “Weel, they gied me nout but brakeshaw to eat.” Brakeshaw, it may be explained, 1s the flesh of animals which have died a natural death. “How was that?” asked the magistrate. “Weel, it was this way. Ye ken, the auld coo deed an’ we ate it, the auld steg (gander) deed an’ we ate it, the auld soo (sow) deed an’ we ate it, the auld bubblejock deed an’ we ate it. Then the old wo- man deed—an’ I left.”—Bellman. Hindoo Confectionery. Like the American girls, Hindoo girls are passionately fond of sweet things, One of, their candies, sadu, 18 very much like our plain sugar candy. It is made of sugar and milk and fla- vored with attar of roses. Buddhika- bal, or hair of Buddha, is one of their most popular sweetmeats. It is so called because it is in fine, long strings like vermicelli. This is made of sugar and cream from buffalo’s milk, which 18 exceedingly rich. A Queer Twist. The late Bishop T. U. Dudley of Kentucky declared that he was indebt- ed to a mountaineer of that state for the most ungrammatical sentence he ever heard. This is it: “Them three Miss Blake are three of as pretty a gal as 1 ever see.” Beau Brummel Reprimanded. Beau Brummel once ingolently re- plied to an invitation to take tea by remarking that he never “took” any- thing but physic. “Yes, you do,” frowned his hostess; “you take liberties.” Playful Otters. Otters are the most playful of all the animals, romping, wrestling, play- ing tug of war with a stick instead of a rope and sliding downhill on a slip- pery incline of mud which they make themselves. _ Why, Indeed?

He'll have to get out more.” “Out more!” exclaimed 'the wife, “He's been out every night this week. That's what's the matter with him.” Realizing that he was in the ‘wrong, the doctor left a preseription and prom- fsed to call later—St. Louls Republic, ornamented with several ‘fiyaways’] NO SELECTION MADE Chairman of Republican Commit tee to Be Chosen Later. CONFERENCE AT CINCINNATI Sub-Committee Meets Messrs. Taft and Sherman and the Announce- ment Is Made That Frank H. Hitch- cock Declined the Position. Cincinnati, June 22.—At the confer- ence between Candidates Taft and Sherman and the sub-committee from the Republican national committee in this city Frank H. Hitchcock declined to be considered for the chairmanship on account of his health. After full conference the committee decided FRANK H. HITCHCOCK. that the matter was of such impor- tance and required such consultation with various persons, suggested as available for the place, that an ad- journment was taken until July 1, when the committee will reconvene in ‘Washington. GIVEN A WARM WELCOME Secretary Taft Visits His Native City of Cincinnati. Cincinnati, June 22.—It was a joy- ous homecoming for Secretary Taft. Arriving in his native city he was greeted at the Central railway station by thousands of his long time friends and neighbors. The station was thronged with admirers of the Repub- lican standard bearer, who gave him an enthusiastic reception. One of the first to grasp the big war secretary’s hand as he stepped from the train was his brother, Charles P. Taft, who had arrived a few minutes before from Chicago. The greeting of the brothers, who are devoted {o each other, was affectionately cordial. As they clasped right hands Mr. Charles Taft threw his left arm over the sec- retary’s shoulder and gave him a lov- ing embrace. Both were laughing as if once again they were boys. An instant later the beaming face of James S. Sherman of New York, the nominee for vice president, ap- peared in the throng. “Hello, Sherman,” shouted Secre- tary Taft, extending his hand cordially to his running mate. “I'm mighty glad to-see you. You don’t look as if you had passed through the siege of a nominating convention.” Together, behind a throng of citl: zens, members of the Blaine and Stamina Republican clubs, each carry- ing a blue pennant bearing a hand- some likeness of the war secretary, the two candidates, arm in arm, walked to the entrance of the station, where they were Recelved by a Committee from the chamber of commerce headed by Captain Thomas P. Egan, president of the chamber. -The gen- eral committee of welcome, on behalf of the citizens of Cincinnati, was headed by Colonel Leopold Markbreit, mayor of the city. An informal parade was formed on Central avenue and, led by aband, proceeded up the avenue to Fourth street and thence directly to the resi- dence of Charles P. Taft on Pike street. In the first carriage were Sec- retary Taft, Representative Sherman, Charles P. Taft and former Governor of Ohio Myron T. Herrick of Cieve- land. The sidewalks were banked with people and the windows of business houses along the route were filled with men and women waving flags and pennants. The streets were fairly ablaze of blue and Old Glory. About the Taft residence a great crowd had assembled and the secre- tary and Mr. Sherman were cheered heartily as they alighted from their carriage. Both bowed thelr acknowl- edgments, the war secretary taking the opportunity to shake hands with several of his old friends. As Secretary Taft and his brother, Charles P. Taft, left the carriage to| enter the house the band on the lawn struck up “Home, Sweet Home,” and the strains of the well known air, combined with the cheers of the hosts of friends who had welcomed him, made it again evident to the candi- date that he had indeed come home and was being given the warm wel- come that indicated personal approval by those near and dear to him. —_— 8ome Famous Salt Lakes.

Sher- man of New York fdt the vice presi- dency by the Republicans leaves va- cant "the ch@irmanship of the Repub- Mcan congréssional committee and out of the specuiation as to who would be his successor in this position grew the belief that Representative James A. Tawney of Minnesota would be select- ed to take up the work. Mr. Tawney at present is vice chairman of the committee. Others who were mentioned as pos- sible candidates for the chairmanship were Representative Loudenslager of New Jersey, now secretary of the com- mittee, and Representative William B.

Cags Lake, Minn., June 22.—Twenty- elght men are still anxiously waiting in front of the United States land office here for the opening of the large tract of land lying around Cass lake.

EXPLOSION N HOLD Serious Accident Occurs on Ves- sel at Philadelphia, FIRE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWS One Man. Is Dead, Another Missing and Nearly a Score Injured—Flames Cause Considerable Damage to the Steamer. Philadelphia, June 22.—One man is dead, another is missing and nearly & score of others were injured by an explosion on board the German steam- er Arcadia, which had just arrived here from Hamburg. The dead man was a negro stevedore of this city. Sixteen of the injured were taken to hospitals. They are suffering from burns and lacerations and the physi- clans say they do not expect that any will die. The majority of the injured are negro stevedores. Some of them will lose their limbs. The explosion occurred in one of the holds of the steamer and its cause is not knmown. There was nothing of an explosive nature in the cargo and it is believed the accident was due to gases that may have accumulated while the holds were closed. Sixty stevedores were put to work as soon as the steamer was tied to her dock. All the holds were opened and .wenty-five men entered the fore hold to unload the cargo. Shortly after they entered there was a terrific explosion. Some of the men were able to climb out of the hold and oth- ers were rescued by stevedores who were working in other parts of the steamer. Great difficulty was experi- enced in getting the men out because of fire which followed the explosion. The flames gained such headway that the rescuers were driven out and one stevedore was burned to death in the bottom of the hold. An alarm of fire was turned in and ‘when the firemen reached the steamer they found the vessel almost entirely enveloped in flames. Quick work, however saved the vessel from de- struction and the flames were soon under control. The steamer, never- theless, was very seriously damaged. The body of the missing man, also a negro stevedore, was found when the water had been pumped out of the hold. STORM_DAMAGE HEAVY. Pittsburg and Vicinity Scene of Dis- turbance. Pittsburg, June 22.—Reports from Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio and West Virginia are slowly reaching here, showing that the damage from the two recent severe storms will amount {o over $200,000. About ten persons were injured, none fatally. The first storm centered about Buf- falo Bill's Wild West show and as thousands of persons were pouring into the big tent the wind struck the canvas. In a moment poles were blown down and the canvas, greatly damaged, collapsed, demolishing a sec- tion of the seats. Pandemonium reigned and a serious panfc seemed inevitable. Colonel Cody ordered the band to play and “My Country, 'Tis of Thee,” tended to quiet the crowd. Two persons were injured. About ten minutes later the damage was repaired temporarily and the show was given. Will Support Present Dynasty. St. Petersburg, June 22.—A special dispatch from Teheran says that Rus- sia and Great Britain had made rep- resentations to the Persian ministry that it is their intention to maintain the present dynasty upon the throme. Those powers have notified Masud Mirza, Zill-Es-Sultan, eldest uncle of the present shah and ex-governor gen- eral of Ispahan, that his pretensions to the throne are inadmissable and that in case of a catastrophe the suc- cession of the shah’s son would be supported. Seventy-two-Mile “Wind. Buffalo, N. Y., June 22.—The wind storm which prevailed in this section attained a velocity of seventy-two miles an hour for some minutes.

Lisbon, June 22.—A series of stormy debates in the Portuguese parliament over financial advances to the royal family has disclosed the fact that a major portion of the funds advanced to the late King Carlos went to lift the mortgages which King Luiz had placed upon the Braganza estates be- fore his death. Finance Ministergsis- pregueira has been forced to admit that while minister of finance in the Castro cabinet in 1904-5 he advanced much money for this purpose upon the solemn promise of King Carlos to refund in annual installments from the revenue of the estates. As none of this money, amounting to $700,000, has ever appeared in the government’s financial statements the Republicans and the other opposition parties charge that for years past the govern- ment’s statements have been nothing more than a farce. Strong language has been used in the denunciation of Minister Espregueira, who is termed e public pilferer. The Republicans, supported by the independent news- papers, demand the sale of the Bra- ganza estates in order that the treas- ury be reimbursed. HAVE EXCITING TIME. Aeronauts Target for Bullets, Then Chased by Bull. Pittsfield, Mass., June 22.—The bal- loon Boston, which made its initial ascent here, landed safely on a moun- tain between Putney, Vt., and Dum- merston, Vt., near the Vermont-New Hampshire boundary line. Charles J. Glidden of Boston, the owner of the balloon, and Leo Stevens, the New York aeronaut, who was a passenger, had a very exciting trip. In addition to being the target for rifle bullets during the flight Mr. Glidden and Mr. Stevens landed in a pasture where a young bull was confined. The animal charged the aeronauts after they had stepped from the basket and they were forced to run at top speed and hur- riedly scramble over a fence. ‘While passing over the northeast corner of Brattleboro, Vt., the gas bag was struck by two rifle bullets. The bullets glanced off, however, without penetrating the silk covering, but the course of the bullets was indicated plainly by two dark colored streaks across the covering. WEEK OF REAL SOLDIERING Fifty New York Militiamen Seriously Overcome. New York, June 22—Worn out by the exertion of a week of real soldier life in camp more than half a hundred men of the Ninth regiment, New York national guard, succumbed completely to heat and fatigue on a five-mile march home from Fort Wadsworth. ‘When they reached New York from Staten Island by ferry nearly half a dozen men were rushed to hospitals for treatment. Fifty more, so utterly exhausted that they could scarcely stand, threw themselves down on the grass of Battery park and refused even to attempt to march further. There they were treated by surgeons from several hospitals and by sym- pathetic citizens, who procured cool- ing drinks and bits of ice for them from nearby drug stores. BODIES FOUND IN A PARK Manager of Moving Picture Show and His Cashier Killed. New Philadelphia, O., June 22.—The bodies of Miss Arline Knisely, fifteen years old, and Charles Stack, fifty years old, were found in the city park. Both had been shot in the back of the head.
