If the railroads, as they claim lose money on sleeping cars, they should proceed to make the Pullman comp- any put up, for there is surely a graft for somebody besides the porter. Some illustrious faker is offering for $1 a head to prove that all Kelleys in this country are decendents of kings. But what of it; aces hold over kings, and an axe, properly handled will beat both.

Probably they are not ready for more celebrations. Our suffering from lack of rain may be moderated when we know of places and people who get it in over- doses. The rains of last November in Jamaica were the most remark- able ever recorded in any part of the world. Official returas at hand show that the maximum rainfall occurred at mountain stations in the eastern part of the island, viz., 135 inches in 8 days at Silver Hill, with a maximum daily fall of 50.50 inches on the 6th, and 120.87 inches in 16 days at Farm Hill. These figures are comparable with the famous downpour at Cherapunji, India, where 41 inches have been measured ina day and 114 inchesin five dnyl. The Jamaica rains caused d1 strous floods and landslides, attended by by loss of life and property.

TAFT'S “VACATION" VERY STRENUOUS President Having a Bisy Time at Bar Harbor. Bar Harbor, Me., July 23.—Presi- dent Taft’s vacation cruise is becom- ing strenuous. He. did not get back aboard the Mayflower until well past. midnight, but was ashore again at 8 in the morning, playing a double round of the nine-hole golf course at Kelbo valley. After the morning of golf came the speaking at noon to the townspeople, followed by a ten-mile coach ride to Mrs. Mark Hanna's home at Seal Har- bor for lunclieon. Some idea of how the Taft party has been entertained here may be galned from the fact that breakfast has been the only meal served in the presidential dining saloon since the yacht anchored on Wednesday. Even little Charlie Taft has been constantly on the go with a lot of boy chums he found in the summer colony here.

Proselyters Had Gathered at Berlin for a Conference and in the Midst of Services Police Appear and Place the Entire Congregation Under Ar rest—Teachings Held to Be Sub- versive of Morality. Berlin, July 23.—Herr Dallwitz, Prussian minister of the interfor, upon recommendation of the political po- lice, has signed orders for the expul- sion of twenty-one Mormon mission- aries, most of whom are Americans or Englishmen, and they were conducted to the fromtier. The missionaries had assembled | from varfous parts of Germany at the Mormon headquarters on the HEast Side to meet Superintendent McKay, an American usually resident in Switzerland. They were holding a service when an agent of the political police who ‘was seated. in the audience rose and declared the gathering dissolved. At the moment several members of the political police appeared and virtually took the congregation in custody. The women were asked to leave the place and’ the men were examined as to their nationality. German Subjects Released. Those found to be German subjects were released, while the others were requested to accompany the officers to the police presidency. There, after further examination, they were per- mitted to go to their lodgings to await the issuance of writs for their expul- sion. The status of the Mormons in Ger- many was taken up in exchanges be- tween the foreign office and the Ameri- can embassy in 1903, when the gov- ernment took the position that the teachings of the missionaries were subversive of morality. It was then arranged with the Mor- mon superintendent through the American embassy that all Mormon missionaries should withdraw from the country within a month, trans- ferring the middle European head- quarters from Berlin to Switzerland.

EXPECT AN AVERAGE CROP Farmers of South Dakota Far From Discouraged. Sioux Falls, S. D,, July 23.—While it is not expected that the crop raised in South Dakota this year will be so large as that produced last- year, a very good average crop will be har- vested. This is particularly true so far as small grain is concerned. While the stalks .were stunted by the dry weather early in the season, rains and the right kind of weather when grain was fllling caused the grain generally to head well, the berrles being quite plump and the heads well filled. The quality will be much above the aver- age. Because of the short stalks, more headers will be utilized in gathering the crops than for many years, Corn has been greatly benefited by recent rains in all parts of the state and now is certain to be one of the biggest crops of the kind raised in South Dakota for several years. CAPTURED BY POLICE POSSE All.eged Leader of Néwa_rk '(O.) Ma‘b Behind the Bars. Bellefontaine, 0., July 23.—Joseph Busch, alleged leader of the mob which hanged. Carl M. Etherington at Newark, O., on July 8, was arrested at Harper, a village near here, and rushed to the Newark jail. Busch had been in hiding at the home of a brotherin-law, Charles | Huston, and was prepared to reslst arrest. Police Chief Edward Faulder of this city, having led a posse to. the house during the night, rushed into the room where Busch slept, flashed a light in his face and covered him with a revolver, IS FRIENDLY TO THE JEWS Russian Anti-Semitic Press Demands Officer’s Dismissal. St..

Taboots is an Indian festival in con- nection with the celebration of the month of Moharram, which begins the year of the true Mohammedan. This festival commemorates, the death of Prince ] osseln, . the grandson of Mo- hammed who met ‘his death in battle after ten .days’ flghdng against King Omar. The word' taboot, from which the festival takes its name, means lit- erally a tomb, and it 1s always built in. front of the homes of some rich and important Mohammedans and un- der.a temporary shed built for this MEETING IS BROKEN UP|5ivow, ;e tahoots are mate trom 1y colored paper, and it is always dec- orated with isinglass, gold and silver paper, glass balls and much red and green paint.

On the tenth day all the taboots are thrown into some siver, and thus ends the Mohdmmedan festival of Taboots.— Boston Herald. Primitive Fire Fighters. As late as the end of the sixteenth century in London the sole method of extinguishing fires was by means of contrivances known as “hand squirts.” These were usually made of brass, with a carrying capacity ranging from two to four quarts of water. The two quart “squirts” were two and a half feet in length, one and a half inches in diameter at their largest part and but half an inch at the nozzle. On each side were handles, and three men were required to manipulate a ‘“squirt.” One man on each side grasped the han- dle in one hand and the nozzle in the other, while the third man worked the piston or plunger, drawing it out while the nozzle was immersed in a supply of water which filled the cylinder. The bearers then elevated the nozzle, when the other pushed in the plunger, the skill of the former belng employed In directing the stream of water upon the fire. Such primitive contrivances are said to have been used during the great fire of 1666. Mythical Horses. Pegasus (“born near the source of the ocean”) was the winged horse of Apollo and the Muses. Bellerophon rode this animal when he charged the Chimera. Sleipnir (“the black horse of Odin”) had eight legs and could carry his mas- ter on sea as well as land. This ani- mal is believed to typify the wind, which blows from eight different points. Al Borak (“the lightning”) was the horse commissioned by Gabriel to car- ry Mohammed to the seventh heaven. He had a human face and the wings of an eagle. Every step he took was equal to the farthest range of human vision. According to Thessallan legend, the first horse was miraculously brought forth by Neptune striking a rock with his trident. A Japanese Anthem. The majority of national anthems are words or music. The only one com- posed by a musician of the very first rank js the Austrian anthem; for whicf Haydn 1is responsible.
