I'm Telling You. Pat Murphy, who was in lodgings, was greatly annoyed by the landlady helping herself to his provisions. She began by taking a-piece of his butter, and when Pat came home she sald: “Pat, I'm taking a little of your but- ter, but I'm not like other landladies— I'm telling you.” Next day it was an egg, and so on. Bvery day there was something taken and put off with the remark, “I'm not lke other landladies—I'm telling you.” Of course there was never any re- duction in Pat’s bill. One Saturday his bill came to a larger amount than usual. Pat looked at it, bundled up a few things in his handkerchief, walked to the door and said: - “Landlady, I'm sloping. I'm not like other lodgers—I'm telling you.”—Lon- don Answers. Beautifully Arranged. Brown—Well, you've got the quar- ter. Is your sister coming down? “I've arranged it beautifully, old chap. T told her It was you first, and she said to tell you she was out, and then I said I was fooling and that it was Charley Jones, and you ought to have seen her hustle to get into a clean shirt waist! She’ll be right down!” Not Surprised. Skipper—I am inordinately sensitive to uncongenial surroundings, so much 8o that the very sight of some people will give me a nervous shudder. Chip- per—Oh, well, there are very few of us that do not shrink from meeting our creditors. No Hitch. “How did the wedding come off to- day?” “Without a hitch.” “Glad to hear it.” “I sald without a hitch. The bride backed out at the last minute.” .P. ].

CANCELS® LECTURE DATES Two Months Necessary to Equip His Expedition and an Additional Three Months Will Be Occupied in the Trip to Alaska—Says This Journey Will Silence the Malicious Attacks on His Veracity. Cleveland, Oct. 20.—“Are you will- ing to stand or fall in your position in the North pole controversy, depending upon whether your records are found or not at the summit of Mount Mc- Kinley?” Dr. Coolk was asked. “Whay, no,” he said, “I couldn't do that, even though I am certain the McKinley records will be found at the summit. My polar records must stand for themselves. They are proof absolute that I reached the pole.” Dr. Cook will again brave hardship and death by leading an expedition in person to recover the records he says he left at the summit of Mount Mec- Kinley, in Alaska, the highest moun- tain in America. In an interview before leaving the city the explorer declared his inten- tion of again leaving the comforts of civilization for the perils of the wil- derness to clear his veracity of the slur that has been cast npon it. Will Occupy .Much Time. Dr. Cook did not say when his ex- pedition will start. He said, however, it will require two months in the United States to equip the expedition and another’ threc months to reach Alaska, penetrate tc the mountain, meke the ascent and return to this country. ‘The explorer said he has.cancelled all future lecture dates after this week so that he may give his entire attention to the work. Probably the Alaskan journey will start in the early spring. N “What purpose is vour second as- cent of Mount McKinley going to gerve?”’ he was asked. Dr. Cook, who had been reclining at ease, was. instantly alert. “A malicious attack has been made upon my veracity,” he said. “The Journey to Mount McKinley will si- lence this attack forever.” Evidence Favorable to Cook.

St. Louis, Oct. 20.—Active campaign- ing in behalf of the presidential can- didacy of Joseph W. Folk, former governor of Missouri, has begun and it is practically certain that the Mis- souri delegation to the next Demo- cratic national convention will carry Folk instructions. Missouri Democrats are free to con- fess that they are sick at heart over the fact that “Democratic Missouri” is represented at Washington by one Republican and one Democratic Unit- ed States senator and that the state government at Jefferson City is quite in Republican control. Upon a har- mony hasis it is now clear that the old factional fighting has been aban- JOSEPH W. FOLK. doned within party lines and that for- mer Governor Folk will be made Mis- souri’s presidential candidate in 1912. Coincident with the strong move- ment which has been initiated in be- half of the graft fighter it is strongly believed that David R. Francis, presi- dent of the St. Louis world’s fair and secretary of the interior to Grover Cleveland’s cabinet, <will have no op- position whatever within Democratic ranks for the United States senator ship to succeed Senator Willlam War. ner, the Republican senator from Mis- souri.

RIVER A MENACE T0 ALL EUROPE Russia Must Purify the Neva or Other Powers Will, STREAM A MONSTER SEWER 8tatement That It and Its Tributaries Are Polluted With Cholera Germs Received With Unconcern in Offi. clal Circles at St. Petersburg—Dip- lomatic Representations Made to the Russian Court. St. Petersburg, Oct. 20.—Exasper- ated by Russian official indifference to the disgusting condition of the Neva river as a source of infection for the whole population of St. Petersburg representatives of several European countries have made unofficial repre- sentations to the Russian court urg- ing improvement and hinting covertly that the rest of the world will have to take a hand in the situation unless conditions are remedied. It is the general impression throughout the diplomatic corps that a stage has been reached where Rus- sia is in International danger from a sanitary standpoint, as it will not be long before the czar will be given to understand he must cease trifling with the rest of the world’s health, how- ever little he may care for that of his own people. Professor Inostrantseff of St. Peters- burg brought matters to a climax a few days ago with his statement, after forly years of study of the Neva, that the stream over its whole course is a monster sewer and nefther it or its tributaries are anywhere free from cholera germs. Official circles received the statement with unconcern. - SKELETON REVEALS MURDER Body of Young Woman Lay Undiscov- ered for a Year. Islip, L.

RESORTS PROFIT BY PARADE Immense Crowds Attracted to Chi- cago’s Red Light District. Chicago, Oct. 20.—There is a wide conflict of opinion over the “red light parade,” when Gipsy Smith, the Ro- many evangelist, led 12,000 Christians through the levee district in an effort to lead the habitues of that district back to the gospel.

D, Oct. 20.—After being seriously burned during the ab- sence of his parents by the explosion of kerosene, with which he was start- ing a fire, Clarence Jacobson, aged fourteen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Jacobson, who' reside on a farm in Marshall county, proved himself a hero.

Madrid, via Hendaye, France, Oct. 20 —Premier Maura announces that he will not resign, but it is believed King Alfonso, recognizing that Spain’s na- tional life is at stake, will force the head of the present cabinet into re- tirement. It is known here that the king has received intimations, put forth in a manner more forcible than delicate, from ¥ngland and France, that Maura's internal and foreign pol- icies are stirring up a revolt that threatens serious difficulties in every European country. In the face of these hints and the internal conditions of the country no doubt is felt that Alfonso will force Maura to resign. General Weyler, “the butcher,” to whom the king turned for advice, tcld the ruler that the position of the present cabinet, reyuiring 100 guards in constant at- tendance on the premier and elghty over each of the other ministers, is ridiculous. It is understood that Alfonso will select Senor Baccadoggo as temporary premier to organize the new cabinet. Aged Priest Asphyxiated. Chicago, Oct. 20.—Rev. Adrian F.
