If the poets form a union they will eventually have a strike that no one will try to break. It costs $10 to swear in the New York subway, but all things con- sidered it is worth the money. Mayor Gaynor of New York, in going after those who use short weights and measures, is doing more to decrease the cost of living than the congressional committee could accomplish if it really worked. A Canadian plow company has during the last few months, shipped from Brantford, Ontario, eight car- loads of traction plows to the United States, and has received definite specifications for seventy five more for shipment during the present month., This is probably the first time that a Canadian manu- facturer in this line has successfully entered the United States market. We don’t know when the first advertising was done but we do know exactly when the first adver- ment was printed. It advertised the Bible. When Guttenberg in 1452 A. D. discovered printing and was experimenting with his inven- tion he took into his confidenee two Frenchmen, Faust and Enquist. They went to Paris and soon made their own type, and printed the book most in demand—the Bible. One day the inhabitants of Paris were surprised to see large posters scattered around on the walls and fences announcing that Faust and Co was selling Bibles at one-eighth the usual cost. The letters on these posters were all similar, and all in red, and when the good people of Paris saw them they surely thought that it was the handiwork of his Satanic majesty, otherwise they could’nt all be alike; however they soon found out differently. In the British museum there is a copy preserved of this very poster, the first printed advertisement we know of. l BY THE WAY | Itisn’t always the silver tongue that sells the most goods. There’s more to salesmanship than just the gift of gab. If the town clock stopped while some fellows were at dinner, you would never see ’em back at work again, The only fellow who can go ahead backwards is the fellowin the' row- ing seat—and he "has to work the hardest of any one in the boat. What’s the reason that all these fellows that can take a drink or leave it as they choose, always take| it? It’s pretty tough to have to keep doing one thing over and over and over, but that's the only way to make good. It’s a mighty hard road to success any way you travel it HELLO, BOB!” Roosevelt's Greeting to Am- bassador Bacon at Paris. ANXIOUS TO GET IN PARADE 8cores of Applications for This Fea- ture of Roosevelt Weloome. New York, April 22.—Rough Riders, military, civic and patriotic organiza- tions and political clubs from all parts of the country are begging for places in the parade up Fifth avenue, which i8 to be one of the features of the wel- ocoming celebration to Colonel Roose- velt on June 18. An average of sixty letters a day is coming to the secre- tary of the general reception commit- tee making inquiries regarding this feature of the programme. Omaha, Oklahoma City, Guthrie, St. Paul and Kansas City are among the points in the West which have been heard from, many of Colonel Roose- velt’s old friends there deelaring that they intend to bring their own horses suitably bedecked and make a show- Ing that will stir up even New York. From Omaha comes a telegram say- ing that a band of 100 Omaha busi- ness men and stockmen will bring fifty horses for the parade. “We don’t want to break in too strong nor ammoy your committee,” says the telegram, “but we want to get permission to ride in the parade. ‘We are nonpartisan and nonsectarian friends of the distinguished ex-presi- dent.” | T0 DEMONSTRATE EFFECTS OF POISON Dogs and Frogs May Figure in the Hyde Trial Kansas City, April 22.—Dogs and frogs are expected to play an impor- tant part in convicting or clearing Dr. B. C. Hyde of the charge of murder. The state has announced its inten- tion of demonstrating the action of strychnine by poisoning a live frog with the drug before the eyes of the Jury. Toxicologists employed by Dr. Hyde are maintaining a “poison squad” of six dogs for the purpose of studying the effects of strychnine upon them. Some of the canines are being given one-fifteenth of a grain of strychnine four times a day. Others receive a smaller amount of poison. Some of the dogs will be permitted to die from the effects of the drugs. Others will be killed. The digestive organs of the animals will be used by the defense in presenting its case to the jury. Hans Jensen, a prominent veterin- arian, has been retained.by Dr. Hyde to assist in the experiments on the dogs. He will also testify at the trial. PUTS THE QUESTION UP T0 CONGRESS Switchmen’s Union Would [nves- tigate Judge Grosscup. ‘Washington, April 22.—A demand for an investigation of the official ca- reer of Judge Peter 8. Grosscup .of the federal circuit court was laid be- fore the president, the Illinois sena- tors and members of congress from that state by Lodge No. 17 of the Switchmen’s union of Chicago, The labor organization directs the attention of the president and mem- bers of congress to the continual at- tacks made on Judge Grosscup by the socialist organ, The Appeal to Reason, in which Eugene V. Debs long has conducted a fight upon the Chicago Jurist. The charges made in this paper should be investigated by con- gress, urge the switchmen, and, if found to be true, impeachment pro- ceedings, the switchmen say, should be instituted. ¢ London, April 22.—Judge Peter S. @rosscup of ‘Chicago is passing a few days in London after his sojourn in Egypt and an automobile trip across Europe.

When Restored to Consciousness They Reported No Possibility That Any of Entombed Men Escaped. Birmingham, Ala.,; April 22.—Not one of the forty-one -men imprisoned by the explosion in the Mulga mine of the Birmingham Iron and Coal com- pany is alive. This was the word breught to the surface ‘to the waiting and weeping families of the vietims when, uncon- Bcious from the deadly gases of the shaft, Superintendent Johns of the mine and a man named Bonds, a vol- unteer who risked his life for those already perished, were drawn up to fresh air. The condition of the rescuers told the story long before the men had been revived. The watchers knew that it the rescuers, helmeted and protect- ed, had so narrowly escaped -death there was no hope for the workers ‘who, without a second’s warning, had been entombed by an explosion of gas. ‘When Johns and Bonds, after heroic treatment, finally regained conscious- ness they confirmed the gravest an- ticipations of the people who for hours to hear a word of their loved ones. Says Not One Escaped. “Dead—all dead,” was the stammer- ing sentence of the superintendent as he began to recover from the effects of the poisonous gases. X Before they had lost consclousness the rescuers had reached the first gal- lery. Even near the shaft they saw things that made them know that only a miracle could save the men en- tombed. The cages In the shaft of the mine were so badly sprung by the force of the explosion that they ‘are useless and all other means adopted by rescue parties in'an effort to reach the en- tombed men have proved futile. There are fifteen white and twenty- six negro. laborers in the mine. Following the explosion flames shot up the shaft of the mine for a distance of about 400 feet and the ground is covered with charred timbers around the mouth of the shaft, which were blown up from the bottom:of a 850- foot shaft by the force of the explo- sion. Every window in the little mining village was broken by the.explosion. PROSECUTOR' GARVEN'S PLAN Would Take Tariff Off Cattle and Break the Beef Trust. New York, April 22.—"Take the tar- 1ff off cattle and yowll break the beef trust,” is the declaration of Plerre P. Garven, the Hudson county prosecutor, who is fighting in New Jersey for the punishment of members of the alleged monopoly. Speaking to the Hudson county grand jurors at a dinmer in Hoboken Mr. Garven said: “The tariff on cattle, now a cent and a half a pound, keeps out of the markets of this country a great sup- ply of cattle from the Argentine Re- public, Canada and Mexico. Remove the tariff and the Chicago packers will be compelled to compete with the world.” TWQWHIted ‘At the THOWth U YHe Bhalt | { /7 OU and your friends are cordially inuited fo visit our store on DEMONSTRATION DAY Saturday, April 23 We have just received 'a‘ large assortment of Tn-er-seal Trade Mark: Package Goods from the NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY Who will'send a representative to our store Safurday to demonstrate the cleanliness, goodness, crispness and su- perior qualify of these goods and you will have an opportun- ity of sampling new products.
