After listening to him for an hour while he painted in vivid colors the extreme danger of fire consuming the house the hard man to deal with said: “Do you really think it likely that my house will burn Zown within the time that the policy will run?” “Certainly,” replied the agent. “Have I not been trying all this time to con- vince you that I do?” “Then,” said the hard man to deal with, “why is your company so anx- fous to bet me money that it will not?" The agent was silent and thoughtful for a moment; then he drew the other apart into an unfrequented place and whispered in his ear: “My friend, I will impart to you a dark secret. Years ago the company disgraced me before my sweetheart. Under sn assumed name I have worm- ed myself into its service for revenge, and as there is a heaven above us I ‘will have its heart's blood!” Humiliating. Champ Clark frequently visited ‘Washington before his election to the house and thought he was pretty well known there. On one occasior, says the Washington Star, he came to the capltal on business for a client. He ‘was surprised and pleased to meet an old frlend and townsman at the hotel Mr. Clark had selected for his stay. “Well, well, if it isn’t Brown!” ex- claimed Mr, Clark. “I'm glad to see you. Is there anything I can do for you?” Then Mr. Clark took his friend by the arm and marched him to the hotel desk, saying, “I can do you a good turn, anyhow.” “Clerk,” added Mr. Clark when they had reached that functionary, “this is my friend Mr. Brown. I want you to treat him right. Let him have what ever he wants, and if he gets too ex- travagant and runs out of cash just charge it to me.” “Why, yes,” said the clerk, “I know Mr. Brown very well, sir, but who are you?” She Got His Name. “Little boy,” asked the new teacher, “what 1s your name?” “I'll have to write it for you, miss,” he said hesitatingly. “Why? My hearing is quite good! Xour name, boy!” “J’d rather not tell you.” “Surely you can’t be ashamed of it?” “No, miss, but"— “Then we will not waste any more time, if you please! I am waiting!” The small boy’s eyes rolled wildly in their sockets, and his face became con- torted with pain as he began: “Ku-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-Clarence! That’s my first name, miss. But my other name is Pup-pup-pup-pup-Per- kins! I never stutter 'cept when I'm speaking my name, and when I'm nagged like this I get a whole lot ‘worse, miss.” A Race With the Sun. An English magazine says that if an aerlal machine were capable of travel- ing at any rate up to 1,000 miles an hour a traveler in it, starting west- ward from London at a speed of 600 miles an hour, would arrest the prog- ress of time. If he started at 10 a. m., it would always be to him 10 a. m. Bhould be find his unending day mo- notonous he could reverse his direc- tion and get a quick succession of short days and nights of some six hours’ @Quration, but he could regulate the length by the speed of his machine. Buppose he traveled from London one night at 10 o'clock westward at a speed of 1,000 miles per hour. He Would soon experience the sensation of seeing the sun rising in the west where it had set a short time before. Noise. Noise, at first cultivated in this land by the Indians, has reached its climax in the college yell. It is ‘used at po- Ntical conventions, at christenings and at women’s clubs. No monument was necessary for the man who first in- vented noise. His work lives after Nolse is wsed by cities, which have the first call for it. They split it up into as many sounds as possible and dtvide it among all. Nolse varies in its volume and in- tensity, from embryonic and immature sawmill to a baby crying in the night. ~—Life, Its Origin. “8o you don’t believe in the story of Jonah and the whale?” “No,” answered Mr. Meekton thought- fally. “How do you suppose it originated ?” “Well, I suppose Jonah had been away from home for some time and had to tell his wife something.”—Kan- sas City Newsbook. His Only Want. Blllionaire’s Daughter—You wrong hfm, papa. He does not love me for my money. He scoffs at the world’s sordid eagerness for wealth. Papa— What proof have you, child? Billion- aire’s Daughter—Why, only last night he told me he didn’t care if he was never able to make a pexny in his life if he only had me. 3 Well Tested. . “Do you conslder your nerve is sufi- clently steady to fit you for an airship navigator?’ “Well, I've been out in a canoe with & nervous fat girl.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

HONDURAS FIRM IN HER POSITION Declines to Comply With Ile; mand of United States, ‘Washington, Aug. 7.—Honduras has declined to comply with the wishes of the American government by revok- ing the decree issued by President Davila cancelling the exequaturs of American Consul Drew Linard and Vice Consul Virgil C. Reynolds at Ceiba on the ground that they had interfered in the internal politics of Honduras and that, with the vice con- suls of France and Norway, they ad- vised the surrender of Ceiba to the revolutionists. The decree of cancel- lation already has been published in the official gazette of Honduras, which, in refusing to revoke it, takes the view that such action would wound the sovereignty of the government and place it in a bad position before the other Central American states. State department officials are pro- voked by the attitude which Honduras has manifested in this matter, assert- ing that the action of that government has been ex parte in character. Steamer Sunk in Collision. Cuxhaven, Aug. 7.—The British steamer Kirkwall was in collision in the North sea off this port with an unknown bark. The Kirkwall went down.

Control of Gould Railroad Properties—Personally He Was Only an Incident in the Arrange- ment Whereby That System Was Enabled to Meet Indebtedness. * Salt Lake City, Aug. 7.—A special from Ogden says Edward H. Harri- man, who passed through Ogden on Bis way to Oregon, was asked if there was any truth in the current report that he had or intended to obtain control of the Gould railroad proper- ties. Mr. Harriman hesitated for a moment and then said: “I have, of course, heard the rumors, but there is nothing to them,” “It i8 true,” added Mr. Harriman, “that recently the system which Inow control obligated itself to meet cer- tain indebtedness of the Gould prop- erties, but personally I was only an incident to the transaction. There is nothing to the report that I am to meet representatives of the Gould railroad holdings in Salt Lake City or any other place to discuss the mat- ter.” Talking of the political Mr. Harriman said: “The election of Mr. Taft or Mr. Bryan would not in the least affect the railroads of the country, because the policies of the Republican and Democratic parties in the prosecution of railroads that violate the laws are identical.” SHOWS: PRESENCE OF MIND Rockefeller Saves Himself and Guests From Possible Accident. Cleveland, Aug. 7.—By his presence of mind John D. Rockefeller probably saved himself and an automobile load of friends from what might have been a serious if not a fatal accident. The machine was being driven along Buclid avenue. At the Cleveland and Pitts- burg railway crossing the automobile ‘was stopped while one of the party in the machine talked with a person who hailed them from the sidewalk. While thus standing a train approached and the gates were lowered. The west gate fell across the ma- chine and would have hit one of the occupants of the automobile had not Mr. Rockefeller caught the guard and ordered. the chauffeur to go ahead quickly. As they attempted to cross the tracks progress was interfered with by the east gate. The crossing watchman by this time became active and raised the east gate an instant later. The automobile cleared the tracks only a few seconds ahead of the pas- senger train. URGED AS VICE CHAIRMAN Smith of New Jersey May Manage Democratic Campaign in East. Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 7.—The selec- tion of Tormer Senator James Smith, Jr., of New Jersey as vice chairman of the Democratic national committee and head of the sub-committee which will control the Democratic campaign in the Eastern states is being strongly urged by several national committee- men and while Chairman Mack has made no definite decision it is be- lieved here that Mr. Smith will be named for the place. Mr. Smith’s appointment as cam- paign leader in the East is urged on the ground that he has not been strongly identified with any faction in the party and commands a wide influ- ence in the Democratic counsels. Mr. Mack said that Mr. Smith was strong- 1y considered for head of the sub- committee. LANDS IN A TREE. Woman Balloonist Drops Nine Hun- dred Feet.

Bemidji Women Are Finding Relief at Last. It does seem that women have more than a fair share of the aches and pains that afflict humanity; they must “keep up,” must attend to duties in spite of constantly aching backs, or headaches, dizzy -spells, bearing-down pains; they must stoop over, when to stoop means torture. They must walk and bend and work with racking pains and many aches {rom kidney ills. Kidneys cause more suffering than any other organ of the body. Keep the kidneys well and health is easily maintained. Read of a remedy for kidneys only that helps sand cures the kidneys and is endorsed by people you know. Mrs. J. C. Litres, living at 602 American avenue, Bemidji, Minn., says: “I am recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills in the hopes that some suffering from kidney trouble may derive benefit from my testi- monial. For sometime I was feel- ing quite miserable, suffering from kidney complaint. I mnoticed that my kidneys were disordered and at last-decided to try Doan’s Kidney Pills.
