She had been en- gaged as lauldry girl i a swall family of well to do people. When asked 1f she understood all the detalls of her ;\’ul’k she unhesitatingly replied, “Sure do, ma’am.” Her imlstress was not quite satisfied, however, and while she was busy with Ler first washing looked in upon her. Bridget seewed to be doing all right, and she left without offering sugges- tlons. Next morning the froning wrg In or- der, and Bridget was hard at it when her mistress looked in to say, “As you get the clothes ironed, just throw them over the horse.” “All right, ma’am,” the busy laundry glrl replled without stopping to ralse her eyes from her work In hand. The laundry room was located in an outhouse adjoining the barn, and occa- sionally the nelghlng of the family horse and the merry voice of Bridget resounded throughout the house. Returning to the laundry house a couple of hours later, the lady could scarcely believe her eyes nor restrain ber mirth when she beheld the fam- fly horse, standing patiently beside Bridget, loaded down with newly roned sheets, pillowcases, tablecloths and lace trimmed walsts and skirts. With an anxious look on her honest face Bridget observed. “I'm glad you’ve come, ma'am, for Il have to have another horse.” Working Too Hard, The owner of the farm had been en- Joying himself at the county fair, while his hardworking wife stayed at home to see that the farm suffered no loss In his absence. “Well, Sarah,” sald the owner upon bis return, “I'm about all tired out. Is the cows in the barn?” “Yes; long since,” replied his wife, barely looking up from the task then 1o band. “Is the hosses unharnessed an’ fed?” “Yes.” “Chlckens locked up? “Yes. “Wood chopped for mornin'?” “Yes.” “Wagon heel mended an’' ready t' start In th’ mornin’?” “Yes.” ““Well, then,” concluded the exhaust- ed owner, with a sigh of rellef, “let me have my supper. I'm goin’ to’ turn in. Farmin’s beglnnin’ ¢’ tell on me.”—New York Herald.

ENDORSED FOR PRESIDENT Convention Presents His Name to Country for the Office of Chlef Ex- ecutive in 1912—Bryan’s Suggestion for Endorsing Senatorial Candidate Snowed Under by Overwhelming Vote. Dayton, Ohio, June 23.—Governor Judson Harmon was unanimously re- nominated by the Ohio state Demo- cratic convention and the plan for en- dorsing a candidate for United States senator, favored by Bryanand Tom L. Johnson, was simply snowed under by a vote of 80 to 254. Throughout the convention it was apparent that Har- mon was in absolute control and the platform was practically dictated by him. In addition to being renominated as governor Harmon was endorsed for the party’s nomination for the presi- dency in 1912, a resolution reading as follows being adopted: “We invite the attention of the na- tion to Judson Harmon and the work he is doing for Ohio. Two years hence it will have been completed, then we can spare him for larger duties. He belleves that guilt is personal—is act- Ing on that belief at home and would act upon it in larger fields. “A high sense of duty provides his only motives for official actions and his sense of justice alone compels judgment. Firmness and strength mark him the man to supplant vasilla- tion and weakness. “The nation needs a real man and the Ohic Democracy here presents and endorses for president in 1912 Judson Harmon.” In his speech accepting the nomina- tion, Governor Harmon spoke in part as follows: Tariff Bill Not Keeping Pledge. “The voters of the country have often been imposed on by the tariff taxes levied ostensibly for public reve- nue, but really for private profit. But they were never before fooled by a promise of substantial reductions of these taxes broken in their faces as soon as their votes were secured. A power so insolent in its control of the law making powers must be over thrown without delay and will be if the American peope have not lost their spirit. “There can be no relief as long as the interests which profit through tar- iff laws are allowed to frame them, as thus far they have always dome. It has just been shown, in the most strik- ing way, that those have complete command of the Republican party, as an organization. Insurgency is merely & protest. They scoff at it. The only agency by which they can be dis lodged is the Democratic party.” Governor Harmon referred to the honor accorded him by the Democracy of Ohio and the renewal of confidence, and continued: “A chief magistrate does not serve the people who uses the powers, en- trusted to him, to advance his own or any other than the public interest, or fails to use it to safeguard the gener- al welfare whenever it is endangered by neglect, incompetence, wrongdoing or the passage of unwise or unconsti- tutional laws.” FIRE AT ST, PAUL CAUSES HEAVY L0SS Four Firemen Are Injured, Two Seriously, St. Paul June 23.—The Andrew Schoch Grocery company suffered a loss of more than $100,000 as the re- sult of a fire which started from an ex- plosion in the basement. Only the walls of the four-story brick building remain standing, the en- tire contents being destroyed and the structure gutted. Four firemen were ‘injured, two of them seriously. John Flaherty, pipe- man of Engine Company No. 2, may die as the result of being overcome by the heat and smoke. William Kel- ly, Hose Cart No. 1, had an artery in his arm cut by glass. Both men were rushed to St. Joseph’s hospital, where they are reported as resting comfort- ably. Lieutenant M. J. Hart, Engine Com- pany No. 2, and Lieutenant O. L. Dunn, Hook and Ladder Company No. 8, were cut about the hands and arms by falling glass, but both pluckily re- turned. to their work of fighting the flames after their injuries had been dressed. THREE ROADS ARE INDICTED Charged With Violating the Elkins. Law in Various Ways. Chicago, June 23.—The Illinois Central Rallroad company, the Penn- sylvania Railway company and the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago roads have been indicted by the fed- eral grand jury here. The Illinois Central is charged with violating the Elkins law in falling to observe its tariff on shipments of cah- bage from Crystal Springs, Miss., and Roseland, La., to Chicago, The other roads are charged with destroylng way bills covering ship- ments of coke to the Illinols Steel company at South Chicago. TIRED OF DARNING SOCKS. Margaret Illington, Who Wil Once More Face Footlights. STAGE OF WATER VERY LOW Boats on Mississippi River May Have to Cease Running. La Crosse, Wis,, June 23.—Unless there is a rise in the stage of water in the Mississippi steamboat men say the big packets running between St. Louis and St. Paul will have to discontinue service. The stage at La Crosse is scant two feet, while at least 3.6 is considered necessary to safe navigation of the big boats. The packet Sydney, on the last trip, came dangerously near going aground on shoals and sandbars sev- eral times between Dubuque and St. Paul and since then the stage of water has fallen more than a foot. SOME RELIEF FOR NORTHWEST CGROPS Rains Fall in the Dakotas and Western Minnesota, - 8t. Paul, June 28.—Rains in the Da- kotas and Western Minnesota have re- lieved the crop situation in districts they visited and have raised the hopes of all localities where there has been a crisis due to the hot weather that their anxieties are about to be dis- pelled. Cooler weather also is report- ed and this at least will stay the scorching that the extreme heat has been giving the fields. Showers at Petersburg and Shaw- nee, in Nelson county, were the only ones of any consequence in the north- ern part of North Dakota. At Graf- ton and other points in that district the precipitation was light, although at Portage la Prairie, Canada, not far distant, there was heavy rain. Rugby, Minot and Churches Ferry report light showers, but conditions apparently are favorable to a heavy downpour. A quarter inch of rain and cloudy weather relieved the acute crop situa- tion in Otter Tail county, in Western Minnesota. The change will stop de- terioration, but more rain is necessary to stimulate proper growth. It is be- lieved that small grain now will im- prove. Corn and potatoes are flourish- ing. Showers . fell north and east of Pierre, in Central South Dakota; in the northern part of Beadle county, farther east, and a downpour visited Huron, the county seat. In Northern South Dakota rain was general in the Aberdeen district and heaviest between Dolland and Huron and between Aberdeen and the Min- nesota state line. LEADS IN CASES OF TYPHOID United States Heads All the Countries of the World. New York, June 23.—The announce- ment from Paris of the discovery of & new anti-typhoid vaccine is likely to prove of considerable interest to Amer- Ican medical men. According to an announcement by Commissioner Eugene H. Porter of the New York state department of health there are more cases of typhoid in the United States than any other country. Thirteen hundred deaths from ty- phoid were reported in this state in 1909. Seventeen Persons Injured. New York, June 23.—Seventeen persons were injured, eight of them seriously, in an accident on a scenic railroad at Coney Island. One of the cars of the scenic railroad left the tracks at the top of one of the high- est “dips,” throwing the occupants, nearly twenty in number, to the pave- ment below. Dog Saves Master’s Life. Mankato, Minn., June 23.—Frederick Hoenisch, a farmer living near- Lake ‘Washington, was attacked suddenly by a dehorned bull while doing chores in the pasture. The bull forced Hoen- fsch to the ground and attempted to butt him, but his dog distracted the enimal’s attention” by a savage on- slaught. Neighbors rescued the man, who was found to have been hurt in ternally. Doctor's Child Kidnapped. New York, June 23.—Michael Sei- meca, three years old, son of Dr. Ma- riono Scimeca, an Itallan physician, followed a man who offered him candy and disappeared.’ The father reported to the police that he believed the child had been kidnapped. Dr. Scimeca has recelved four Black Hand letters, de manding $1,000 on pain of death tc himself and family, AIRSHIP SERVIGE IS INAUGURATED Teppelin Craft Makes Suc- cessfull Voyage. CARRIES TWENTY PEOPLE ‘With Score of Passengers Great Craft Covers Three Hundred Miles in Nine Hours, the Machinery Working Faultlessly—Count Zeppelin at the Helm During the Greater Part of the Long Flight. Dusseldorf, Germany, June 23.—The first regular alrship passenger service was inaugurated ‘“when Count Zep- pelin’s great craft, the Deutschland, carrying twenty passengers, sucessful- ly made the first scheduled trip from Friedrichshafen to this city, a dis- tance of 300 miles, in mine hours. The weather was perfect and the motors worked faultlessly. The average time maintained for the complete course was approximate- ly thirty-three miles an hour, but be- tween Friedrichshafen and Stuttgart the 124 miles was covered at an av- erage rate of forty-one miles an hour. The best speed for a single hour was forty-three and one-half miles. Count Zeppelin was at the helm when the Deutschland left Friedrich- shafen and sailed away on the trip that was to mark an epoch in avia- tion. The passengers were some of the directors of the Hamburg-Ameri- can Steamship company and the Ger- man Airship Stock company, joint owners of the dirigible, and guests. They occupied the mahogany walled and carpeted cabin situated between the gondolas and from the windows of which they viewed the scenery as the car swept along. Count Zeppelin steered for the greater part of the distance, Crowds View Passing Airship. The Deutschland swung gently into ker landing here at noon and the mul- titude surrounding the landing yards shouted a welcome. The city had been gaily decorated in honor of the event. The promoters of the enter- prise and their guests were enter- tained at a public dinner. Regular trips will be made aad many tickets already have been sold for’ the first few days at $25 to $50 each. The airship is equipped with-a restaurant, which will supply the pas- sengers with a buffet service such as is afforded on parlor car railroad trains. The dimensions of the Deutschland are:-Length, 485 feet; width, 46 feet. Its gas capacity is 24,852 cubic yards and it carries three motors having a total of 330 horse power. It was de- signed to maintain a speed of thirty- five miles an hour. TIts lifting ca- pacity is 44,000 pounds, of which 11,- 000 pounds covered the crew, passen- gers and express. It is expected to be able to accomplish a continuous trip of 700 miles. TO INCREASE BIRTH RATE Measures Introduced in the French Parliament. Paris, June 23.—A senies of meas- ures designed to stimulate ‘the birth rate in France have been introduced in parliament. They include the imposition of ad- ditional military service upon bache- lors over twenty-nine years of age; make obligatory the marriage of state employes who have reached the age of twenty-five years, with supplemen- tary salaries and pension allowances for those with more than three chil- dren, and the repeal of the law requir- ing the equal distribution of estates among the children. The. dislike of Frenchmen to divide their property is a frequent cause-of restricted families, according to those who have made a study of the subject. The proposed legislation follows the recent publication of vital statistics which showed that the births in the republic during 1909 were 770,000, ‘| against 792,000 in the preceding year, and that the population has been in- creased by only 3,000,000 since 1851. OFFICERS FAVOR AIRSHIPS Army Men Hope to Convince Congress of Their Utility. Washington, June 23.—Officers of the signal corps of the United States army, believing that recent great aerial flights accomplished have pre: pared the way for more generous rec- ognition of the aeroplane as a factor in war, and will lead to the establish- ment of an aerial fleet by the United States government, are gathering in- formation with which to convince con- gress of the utility of aeroplanes. South Dakota Timber Fire. Sturgls, 8. D., June 23.—A severe timber fire is raging in the forest re- serve about six miles west of here. Beveral hundred acres are reported tg have been burned over and the fire i still uncontrolled.

ZEPPELIN AIRSHIP, Type of Craft Used in Pas- senger Service in Germany. MISS ETHEL HAS SUITOR Wedding Bells May Ring Again for a Roosevelt. New York, June 23.—Miss Ethel Roosevelt entertained as her personal guest at Sagamore Hill, James Thomp- son Williams, Jr.,, a protege of Presi- dent Taft and aspirant for a seat in the United States senate from the new state of New Mexico. They spent the day together and were so absorbed in each other as to excite the surmise in Oyster Bay that wedding bells will ring again for a Roosevelt not long after the echoes of the last ringing sudside. Mr. Williams is a son of the bishop of South Carolina. At one time he worked for a press association in Washington and was correspongent for a Boston newspaper. In the last national campaign he served Postmas- ter General Frank Hitchcock as confi- dential secretary and made the swing of the country with Mr. Taft. Later he became a member of the United States civil service commission. The Other Way. There was a hopeful gleam in the eyes of the young man with a slightly retreating chin as he approached the father of his ladylove. “Will you give your dgughter to me in marriage, sir?” he asked In as firm a tone as he could muster. “I'm afraid you are not well enough acquainted with her, young man,” re- marked the father. “Why, I've seen her twice a week for nearly a year,” said the astonished sultor. “That may all be,” said the parent, -“but if you knew much about her char- acter you'd have said, ‘Will you give me to your daughter in marriage? * A Poet's Slip. A correspondent of London Notes and Querles has “caught out” Mr. Kipling in an extraordinary blunder. He finds 1t In the “Last Chantey"” in these llnes: ‘Then sald the souls of the slaves that pen threw overboard: Kenneled in the picaroon a weary band were we, But thy arm was strong to save, And it touched us on the wave, And we drowsed the long tides idle till thy trumpets tore the sea.’ “Of course,” says the commentator, “the word Kipling meant to use was barracoon, the technical term for a slave pen. Picaroon means a rogue.” Catching a Cobra. A driver on the Avontuur rallway, Sonth Africa, while staying at the Gamtoos caught a large cobra de ca- llo alive. The cool way in which he d the trick, says a local paper, sent a eold shiver through every one who saw it. He simply caught hold of the polnt of its tall, gave it a sudden jerk toward Bim and caught it by the back of the head. He then placed it In a biscuit tin. The snake was three Inches ip dlameter and about four feet long. Let him who Pas bestowed a benefit be silent. Let bim who received it teli of it.—Seneca. Miss the Easy Road. Two young expouents of the strenu- ous life on Broundway were sitting in a hotel lobby the other evening discuss- ing theit plans for making some “big money” .In the future. - One of them confessed’ that his salary was “only $48 a week,” and he was having a hard time of it In keeping the wolf. from the door. Sitting near them was an old gentleman who overheard thelr conver- sation and was evidently Interested. “You fellows are making the mistake of your lives,” the old gentleman sald at last. “You are chasing the will o' the wisp while yon have the means of wealth within your grasp. Why, I'm considered pretty well off financlally, as you both know, and 1 never re- celved a salary of $45 a week In my life. But I saved money when I was your age, and [ found opportunities for Investment that soon put me out of the salary class and made me a business man on my own account. The trouble with young fellows nowadays s that they can’t see the opportunities that are given them. They have their eyes glued to the get-rich-uick Idea so tight ly that they pass by the only sure route to wealth.”--New York Globe. Handwriting. As a rule, clear dwriting is more common with persor:s who do nst write for a living than with those who do. Authors, for example, are ating something when they write; thelr mind I8 concentiated on this creative work; their thouplhits are generally anhead of their hand sowetimes a whole sen- tence, and they huiry to keep pace with them. The result is bad hand writing, but handwriting with Individ aality in it, if vot character. There is a theory timt plain writing Is most easlly forged. This 1s not true. Ob. scure signatures are most easily forged and the so called freak gnatures. which nobudy read, easiest of all The best stenature and the safest for a man who sizns checks is neither too prim nor too involved: just p . ev eryday writing, done In the easiesl way, according to his temperawment Such a signature expresses as wuch eharacter as any handwriting can, but 1t doesn't tell us a thing about the man’s moral makeup; not a thing.— Boston Globe.
