Probably by this time the strenu. ous Theodore is teaching a boiled dinner how to take a joke. It is said that the report of the Ballinger investigation will cover 5,000 -printed pages—yet there are those who think the half has not been told.’ British suffragettes ‘are “elated at reports received from the United States that from the year 1890 to 1900 the divorce rate in states surround- ing four equal suffrage states has in- creased 40 3-16 per cent, while it has decreased in the four suffrage states 7 1-20 per cent. The increase in the United States is large, 30 7-18 per cent. They argue that equal suffrage works against divorce. The man who introduced cock- tails to New York many years ago is 'being warmly welcomed on a visit to the scene of his early mixed drink triumphs, says the New York Herald. With visiting auto- mobilists, visiting aeronauts, visiting college girls and the return to various notable favorite sons, New York is putting in a pretty busy week pay- ing proper honors all around. Agents of the postoffice depart- ment are traveling over the country and dropping into newspaper offices when least expected to examine subscription lists, to ascertain if the regulation requiring payment of subscriptions is being observed. Several Iowa newspapers have been in trouble and here is a case told by the Des Moines Capital: Editor Fay of Lyons, Iowa, has been called to 'Washington city be- cause his subscription list is not as well paid up as' the law requires. He will have to explain to the government officials why ' he ‘has not compelled "his subscribers to pay up according to the postal rules. An_ inspector had visited him two months previously and his list was said ‘to be ‘prétty 'thoroughly paid up but ‘evidently ‘it was not sufficiently so. It seems-a little tough that coun- try editorshave to be hauled up be- for the government under the charge of violating federal laws just because they do not eternally keep dunning their subscribers for the small sum they owe on subscriptions but it is|" like'the end "of “the world, no one knows what daythe ‘inspector ‘may pop in and ask to see his list. And if too many subscribers are behind on their paper it means trouble with the government. It puts an editor in such shape that he is comp_elled to force his collections ‘unless he has an unusal prompt paying list of subscribers. Itis said The Bee, a newspaper published in Jefferson, has -also been jerked up. This is what its editor says about it: “The Bee this morning received first official summons from ‘the postoffice department to conform with the ruling which ‘requires subscribers to keep their subscrip- tions paid up. We can no longer send the paper to ‘delinquents ‘no matter how willing ‘we may ‘be to accommodate them, We -sometimes question the right of Uncle Sam to interfere in the conduct of a ligiti- mate business, and say we shall-not extend credit if we wish to, but whether right or wrong, we must conform to the regulation. “It will distress us greatly to'cut off a lot of good and long time ‘pat- rons who we know intend ‘to pay, but are careless' about the matter, and if such really want the Bee we know they will come to our assist- ance and relieve us from this embar- rassment.” It is very dangerous business “for a newspaper man to send papers to subscribers who are more than three months in arrears. To be deprived of the second-class mailing privilege, which is the penalty for non-compli- ance with the rulings, puts a news- paper out of business, for the ex- pense of putting a one-cent stamp on every paper mailed amounts to much more than the profits on the entire subscription business, to say nothing of the increased amount of labor which would be required in affixing the stamps. l BY THE WAY l With one killed and 82 injured on the Fourth Milwaukee certainly showed that ¢safe and sane” does not mix well with two beers for.a nickel.

Eau Claire, Wis., July 12.—A survey of districts in Northern Wisconsin which have suffered through forest fires brings the estimate of the total damage ‘of ‘the last three weeks to more ‘than '$3,000,000, divided as fol- lows: Pineries north .of Bau Claire and Chippewa Falls, $1,000,000; Wisconsin Central, $200,000; companies operating from ‘Marinette, In Notthern Wiscon- sin, Wausau and Rhinelander, $1,500,- 000; Washburn and territory north of Ashland and towatd Superior, $500, 000, So far as is definitely known there ‘was no loss of life. The fires have swept throgih much standing timber, scattered ‘pine and hardwood. The burned area extends.about fifty miles north of Prentice and is about forty miles wide between Stanley and ‘Thorpe. The heaviest losers are lum- ber and ‘logging .companies. Twenty-five villages in the burned district narrowly escaped destruction. The homes of ‘more than ‘300 families ‘were burned last week. ‘As.the result of the destruction of personal belong- ings and sources of food supply the suffering’ is intense.

FOR “BREAKING ‘SPEED LAWS Gaekwar of Baroda-Arrested in New York City. New York, July 12.—The Gaekwar of Baroda, absolute ruler of 2,000,000 Indian ' subjects, has learned for the first time in his life what it is to be under arrest. But there will be no International complications, both be: cause ithe imaharajah - does ‘not bear a‘grudge and because he was released five minutes after his arrest. 'With ‘the maharanee, the heir ap- parent and the young Princess Indira Raj the potentate was on his way ta call on Herman C. Bumpus of the American Museum of Natural His- tory, in his-home in New Rochelle, in a'hired automobile. The New Rochelle policeman said the car was going twenty-five miles an hour, so” he ar- rested the East Indian: potentate. ‘A neighbor carried word to Professor Bumpus, who arrived on the scene $1.03% @1.03%; |~ and - soon ‘succeeded in straightening out matters and the maharajah was released. Teething children "have more or less diarrhoea, which can ‘be con- trolled by giving Chamberlain’s Colic,” Cholera -and - Diarrhoea Remedy.

NEW CHURCH IS 'PLANNED music, Meriment ‘and Laughter Its Im- portant Elements. ‘Washington, July 12.—A new church of music, . merriment and laughter, known as the Church of Happiness, 1n- corporated by preachers and evangel- ists, will erect a building here shortly. The incorporation papers show the object of the new religion. The old hell of the old religion, its dancing imps 1n Teather hides and hoofs, its catacombs of bones and dead hopes, its fumes of sulphur, is a thing of the past, the incorporators de- clare. “It was an idea ‘adroitly employed to frighten people Into the churgh. The new religion recognizes that crime is hatched where there'ts no mirth. Depravity -flourishes -in 'the shades of darkness. Music and merri- ment will be important elements in the religion of the' future.” It is said the movement is backed ‘by wealthy and influential people.

A Figure Trick. { Get some one to put down a row of { figures, “to add ‘them up-and ‘subtract the: total, thus: . 63214 ‘These “figures’ added together ‘'make '16. - Subtract this 16 from the original number and you get 63,198, . 'Now-ask "them to:cross out:any one figure, total them wup again-and tell you ‘the “total. Thus, say, they cross out'the 6, the:total becomes:21. They tell you this, and without looking at the sum you can say the value of the figure which bas been crossed.out. You do this trick by subtracting the total “from 'the ‘mext “muitiple of ‘9. “The total,”:says your friend, *is 21,” The nearest multiple of 9 above 21 13°27. You subtract 21 from 27, and that leaves 6. To your friend you say in a dignified tone, “The figure you erossed out was 6.” ‘And your wondering friend. believes you to be possessed of occult powers. It doesn’t matter what figures are originally put down, the answer al- ‘WAays comes correct. The Era of Reptiles. At different epochs during the time known:as the'secondary period the sur- face of the earth seems to have been ‘{0 predominantly peopled with reptile life ‘that it has been ‘called “the age The ‘huge iguanodons stalked or leaped about in the wealds of Sussex and Hampsbire. Of these iguanodons marvelously complete skel- etons are to‘be seen -(mounted- inatti- tudes of life) in-the Royal ‘museum of Brussels—a sight in itself sufficient to induce a visit'to that capital. Other smaller reptiles' browsed on the foliage of the ‘then existing plains and were pursued and preyed upon by fell rep- tillan ‘monsters of various kinds. The sea “also ‘swarmed with - reptiles (ich- thyosauri) as aquatic as the whales and dolphins of our own day. And not only were the earth and seas thus peo- pled, “but there were fiying reptiles of different -kinds and ‘sizes, known as pterodactyls. A Very Old Rule. The oldest mathematic book in the ‘world is ‘believed to'be'the “Papyrus Rhind” in the British museum, pro- fessed to have been written by Ahmes, a: scribe of King Ra-a-us, about the period between 2000 and 1700 B.
