After next Monday we shall be able to breathe easily once more. The long delayed settlement of the question of pugilistic supremacy will be settled. As much as we de- plore that men still are uncivilized enough to train months to be able to punch each other senseless, yet we must admit that we are savage enough to take a keen interest in the result, Already the press dispatches are carrying news of accidents caused by premature celebrations of the Fourth. A little girl in Reading, Pennsylvania, set fire to her dress while shooting off firecrackers and was burned to death. Two brothers in Sparta, Wisconsin, were seriously injured by the explosion of a toy cannon which they were trying out preparatory to the Fourth. As far as we know, no one here has been injured ‘but it would be well to heed Chief Benner’s warning. The following letter was received by a man whom the writer thought was a candidate for the state legis- lature. As the writer probaly does not believe in woman’s suffrage, his letter is interesting. “Some two years ago, a bill was presented to the Georgia legislature for enactment which, though it threatened woman’s most cherished right that of self beautification, sought to throw about men all safe- guards against the allurements of the fair sex. ¢As long as a woman cheses to remain single, she will, under the Glenn bill, have a right to use all aids to beauty that she desires and exert her blandishments upon the more susceptible sex at will, “If she wants to get married, however, she must appear as she really is. The measure provided that should a woman entrap a man into marriage through the use. of paints, powders, cosmetics, arti- ficial teeth, paddings, drop stitch- ed hose, high heeled shoes, corsets, V cut waists, lingerie, or.peekaboo waists, the marriage would be de- clared null and void, “Should you be a candidate. for re. election from the 61st,-and should you find that a similar law as the above would meet with the approval of the iConstituents -of - the - district and your personal support, I ‘shall hereby pledge ‘'you my support at the polls.” Evidently the writer must Inve been snared by one of the weaker|is that the thing | eoner. - sex who did not play fair. “London Expre [ 'when' he i¥ not. given credit for what The other day, the editor sat in a restaurant eating his evening meal. A man came in, sat down at the same table and picked up the evening paper. He looked it over for a minute and -then threw it down in disgust ~and said, “No news in the sheet tonmight.” He did not knmow that the man at his elbow had spent ten hours, and the office force many more, in order to put that paper before him, The edition carried eight columns of local news, and he said there was nothing in .it. That was be- cause he had become so used to reading certain kinds of uews that if none of them appeared he thought that there was nothing worth read- ing in the paper. The edition that -night had no notice of deaths, no suicide, no one had drowned, there had been -no fires, and there were ‘no -scandals. It was just a plain -edition, setting forth the ordinary life of the people, telling what was happening and ‘a little of what was to happen. It contained nothing startling, But at home in the editors drawer at that very moment was a story with the petulent man as the chief character that would have been juicy reading for many. And that man thought no one knew it. He said there was no news be- cause some neighbor had 'not suffered loss from fire, because no mothers and sisters were weeping over one lately departed, because no one had been snatched out of this life suddenly, because no one had been injured, in all, because nothing had happened which had caused heart sickness. Now the remark passed by that man is one that is often heard. But it is thoughtless, and not really. meant. There are other things in life besides trajedies and when someone remarks ‘‘There is no news,” it is pretty certain thata taste for the really unpleasant and morbid has been acquired. SINGS ITS DEATH SONG. A Peculiar:Bird Found In the Jungles of South America. There Is a quecr bird in the jungles of northern South America which is called the “pauji” by the natives, but Is known to sclence as the galeated curasson. It is chiefly remarkable be- cause it sings its own death-song. It does not really sing. but makes a deep humming noise which sounds very much like the Spanish words “El muerto esta aqul” (the corpse lies here). “It is while uttering this lugubrious chant,” .said a South Awerican travel- er, “that the pauji usually meets its death, for the hunter can then easily track it to its retreat, and it falls a victim, as the lndluns say, to its own death song.” If the pauji.gets suspiclous it im- mediately ceases humming, and that is a sure indication to the bunter that the bird has seen him or scents dan- ger. 1In such a case the only thing for the sportsman to do is to remain per- fectly still. The bird may become re- assured after waiting awhile.and again begin to call, “The corpse lles here.”” It can then be cautiously approached and killed. If it is only wounded the pauji-usu- ally escapes, though it cannot fly-much bettes than the ordinary domestic fowl. It is very-fleet of foot and will outrun the hunter until it is lost In the deuse undergrowth of the jungle. In the mating season the male pauji is the wost pugnacious of birds and will fight s 1 kind whenever it meets them. Often the fight ends in the aunibilation of bhoth combatants, SALVE FOR HIS WOUND. A Strenuous Scene That Was Not on the Bill of the Play. Giovanui . a Nicilian actor of waus playing In Ilorence in one of b ercest parts. where he had to stab bis enemy with Suddenly, in the beat of ion, Grasso let the weapon. slip band. It alighted jn the pit on a wan’s head. cutting it slightly. Anindignant member of the audi- ence flung the k e back to the stage, where it wa terously caught-by Grasso. Ruising it aloft in his hand and as if it were accursed, Grasso smashed it In two and then stamped upon it. Then, with a swift bound, Grasso was in the pit beside the injured man. The next minute he had climbed back to the boards, with the victim in his arms, After settling him in a chair Grasso threw himselt on his knees and began a loug eutreaty for forgiveuess. This was rapidly granted by the’ much em- barrassed playgoer, who on his side begzed to be allowed to-return fo his seat. But this was not to be until Grasso, weeping copious had bestowed no fewer than fifty resounding kisses ou the man's blushing cheeks. The action was grected with loud cheers, and after Grasso had grace- fully bowed his thanks the play was resumed and successfully concluded.— S, The Two Periods.

Neal Three | : Day Drink Habit:Cure In An Open Letter Bankers. “Atlantic, Iowa,-March 21st, ’10. “To All Bankers and All Interested: “About the first of December, 1909, I was instrumental in inducing a very close friend of mine to take the NEAL THREE DAY CURE and treatment for the -drink -habit. He took the.cure at :the Neal Insti- tute, No. 802 -Fifch Street, -Des Moines, Iowa, commencing the treat- ment on Wednesday, Dec. 8th, 1909, and discharged 'as .cured and :re- turned home on the following :Satur- day eveaing, having been in -the said institute under treatment just three days. This man as I person- ally know: had been a--hard..drinker for several years—in fact had reached a point.where I am sure he could not | . control - the appetite for liquor. Since taking the cure this man has greatly improved both physically and mentally, the habit and desire seems to be entirely eradicated, and I feel that the cure is permanent. His general health is good and nervous system wonderfully im- proved. I also know of four other very bad cases and the results of same, publicly treated in this city at our hospital in the early part of January this year by Doctor Neal, and they all seem to be perfectly cured, and are leading sober and industrious lives and supporting their families which they have not done before in years. “I gladly write this letter, and au- thorize the Neal Institutes Company to use same in any way they may de- sire, hoping that it may be the means of inducing some unfortune man afflicted with this awful habit to try the Neal Cure. “Respectfully submitted, “J. A. McWAID, “‘President Atlantic Nat. Bank.” The Neal is an internal treatment that is given in 30 drop doses, no hypodermic injections that effects .a perfect cure of the drink habit in three days,.at the institute or in the home.

New ‘York, July 1.—Mrs. #da'N. von Claussen, who says she is going to sue Colonel Roosevelt for $1,000,000 as ‘the result of the refusal of the United ‘States minister to Sweden to present her at the court of that country, has announced that she had: invented a new religion.

Japanese game of ken is that the fully outstretched hand sig- nifies paper, the fully closed hand a stone, aud two fingers alone extended, the rest being closed, scissors. Each of :the. players, counting one, two, three, throws out his hand at the mo- ment of pronouncing three, and the one whose manual symbol is superior to that of the others, according to the theory of ‘the game, wins the trial. Superiority - is determined on the hy- pothesis that ‘whereas - scissors can- not cut a stone they can cut paper and whereas paper is cut by scissors it can wrap up a stone—conseguently scis- sors are inferior to stone, but conquer paper; stone is inferfor to paper, but conquers scissors, and paper. is inferior to scissors. but conquers-stone.

Judge Parker:had-been a passenger on’ a car following close behind one on which the negro had quarreled with“the conductor, starting a small riot. The former presidential candidate had stepped off his car and was watching the excitement when there was a pistol shot and a bullet whizzed by. Plato J. Jerrey, a hotel proprietor at & beach resort, is the-negro whom the police charge with firing the shot. He was aiming, they-say, at the crowd of men -and boys who pursued him for his.assault on the conductor. Judge Parker ‘would not ‘enter a complaint against Jerrey, :saying he had not been hit and did. not see the man fire the shot.

Excited and irregular fluctuations foll ywed, but the excitement quieted down to an extent before the first hour- was over and a: steadler tone was manifest, Immediately after 11 o’clock another spasm of liquidation convulsed the market and prices broke violently in new directions. Northern Pacific and Atchison were carried down 4 points, Union Pacific 3%, Southern Pacific 3%, American Smelting 33, Reading, St. Paul, Canadian Pacific, Amalga- mated Copper and General Electric 3, Rock Island 2%, Baltimore and Ohio 2% and United States Steel and Cen- tral Leather 2. Fluctuations Are Violent. Another feverish rebound came and the shorts started to cover, but the market continued excited and greatly unsettled. The tone of the market became de- moralized towards noon and there were indications that important mar. ket pools were letting go enormous holdings of stocks for what they would bring. The prices of Atchison were swept down 6% points, Southern Pacific 5%, Union Pacific, Northern Pacific and St. Paul 5, Reading 4%, Chesapeake and Ohio 4, United States Steel 3 and corresponding declines in practically all of the active stocks. There was a violent upward reac- tion in the quarter hour after noon, owing to the rush of shorts to covwer on the severe break in prices. VIRGINIA'S FAVORITE SON Sketch of the Late Senator John W. Daniel.- Washington, July 1.—More of an orator than a lawmaker, more of a soldier: than either, a Chesterfield in | manners and an ideal courtier from the standpoint of both sexes the late Senator John W. Daniel was by all odds Virginia’s favorite son at the time of his death. ‘When less than twenty years of age he entered the famous Stonewall bri- gade in May, 1861, as a lieutenant and fought through the Civil war.in the Confederate ranks. He was wounded at the first battle of Manassas, again at -Boonsboro, Md.,-and still again at ithe battle of the Wilderness. In letters Daniel was as brilliant as n ‘war, for he was- graduated from ‘Harrison's University school before ithe outbreak of the -conflict between ithe states, made a fine record as a law 'school fmmediately after the war closed .and, when still a young man, wrote ‘“Daniel on Attachments” and “Daniel on Negotiable Instruments,” now.used-as text boeks by many: legal institutions. From 1869 to 1872 he was a member of the Virginia house of delegates and from 1875 to 1881 was state senator: He served in the house of representa- tives during the Forty-ninth congress and ‘came to the senate as' the suc- cessor of William Mahone in 1884; serving continuously since that time, to Target.
