Andrew Johnson. Handed It Back. A clergyman in the ueighborhood of Nottiugham was complimenting a tai- lor in his parish on repairs which he had done for him. In the course of conversation he, however, incautiously observed: *“When 1 want a good coat I go to London. " They make them there.” Before leaving the shop he inquired. “By the bye, do you attend my church?” “No,” was the reply. “When I want to hear a good sermon I go to Lon- don. They make them there.”—Lon- don Tit-Bits, Tea In the Time of Buddha. At the time of Buddha China was en- Joying a large foreign commerce in tea. It was carried by her junks to Japan, Korea, Tonquin, Anam, Cochin, Bur- md, Siam, Indla, Ceylon, Persia and Arabia. According to one record, it ‘was sent to a great black river country west of Arabia, from which it was sep- arated by a long and very torrid sea, which must have been Egypt. It was carrled by caravans to- Manchuria, Mongolia, Kuldja, Tartary, Tibet, Per- sla and northern India. RAINY RIVER NOT 0UT OF DANGER Flames Continue to Threaten Canadian Town. BEAUDETTE, NINN,, IS SAFE Fires In That Vicinity Are Checked and Assistance Is Sent to the Cana- dian Side in Answer to An Appeal. Falling Wind Lessens the Danger at Several Wisconsin Towns Where Serious Fires Are Raging. Beaudette, Minn,, July 23.—The for- est fires around the village of Beau- dettc have been checked. The fires around the town of Rainy River, Ont., swept_directly against the town, and fear was widespread. The Canadian Northern railroad had five engines pouring water on the flames. The Beaudette fire department was called on and went to the Canadian side on a special train to aid the endangered town. Nearly all places of business were closed and employes were out Aghting the fire. The Rat Portage and Rainy River Lumber company closed their plants and sent their men to the fire line. It is believed the town can be saved, as it looks as though the fire is checked at the railway right of way. The smoke in the villages of Beau- dette and Spooner and the town of Rainy River is almost unbearable. At Spooner 100 men are out fighting the flames. In case the wind should change to the southeast it will be al- most impossible to save the village. Thousands of cords of pulp wood have been burned and twenty settlers’ cab- ins have been destroyed. It is reported that two little girls living in the Rainy River district wan- dered into the forest and were burned to death. LESS PERIL IN WISCONSIN Falling Wind Help to Forest Fire Sit- uation. ‘Wausau, Wis., July 23.—The fires at Galloway, which made disastrous losses in that vicinity, are reported to be fairly under control. The flames are still extending for five miles east of Eldron to the Pike lake village. The loss according to a conservative esti- mate is $500,000. In addition to the fire at Galloway numerous small fires have started in the southeastern portion of Marathon. county, the western part of Shawano county and northeastern portion of Portage county. There is almost no wind and it is believed that there is no immediate danger,, The towns of Irma; Gleason and Bloomville are still safe.

John Carlson, a homesteader living near here, was driven into Little lake by the fires and, with water up to his neck, he stood all night and watched the flames wipe away his home and all his property. He is in a serious condition from long exposure. Fires Close to Duluth. Duluth, July 23.—A pall of smoke hangs over Duluth and this end of Lake Superior and settlers and rail- road and lumber company employes are fighting desperately to save val- uable timber and camp and farm build- ings from the ever spreading flames.

SWITCHMEN PREVENT WRECK Engine Collides With Passenger Train at Fort Dodge. Fort Dodge, Ia, July 23.—Through the quick work of switchmen in ap- plying brakes on a long train of cars behind a switch engine, which collid- ed with a Minneapolis and St. Louls passenger train, a wreck endangering hundreds of lives was narrowly avert- ed.. The accident occurred on a track connecting the Minneapolis and St. Louis and Illinois Central.

ACCEPTANCES ARE NUMEROUS Attendance at Conservation Congress Promises to Be Large. St. Paul, July 23.—The names of. delegates to the-second National Con- servation congress are coming in faster than the office force at head- quarters in the state capitol can get them down on the index cards.

And one of the features of the letters continues to be the interest shown by foreign nations. Rushing Work on Canal. ‘Washington, July 23.—Notwith- standing that the precipitation during the rainy month of June, 1910, in Pan- ama was almost double that in the months of June, 1909 and 1908, the work of excavation in the Panama canal last June:exceeded by 200,000 cubic yards the excavation in the cor- responding period of the previous year. Soldiers Plead- Self-Defense. ‘Washington, .July 23.—Self-defense is the plea put up by two troopers, Clifford L. Feldheim and Thomas J.

Leavenworth, Kan., July 23.—The federal parole law, passed by congress last session and now ready to be placed in operation, will apply to about 400 of the 1,087 inmates of the United States penitentiary here, NEW CLUE T0 RAWN'S DEATH Police Belicve Revenge Mo- tive for Murder, - INFORMATION IS SECRET Chicago Officials Refuse to Divulge |. Facts Concerning Latest Develop- ments—Finding of Second Bullet in the Rawn Home Strengthens the Theory That the Railroad President Was Murdered. Chicago, July 23.—Coroner Peter Hoffman announced that he had re- ceived information which led him to believe that Ira G. Rawn was mur- dered for revenge. He iinmediately went into conference with Herman Schuettler, acting chief of police. “I have obtained a new clue in con- nection with the death of Mr. Rawn,” said Mr. Hoffman, “and my informa- tion looks very good. I also have in- formation concerning the identity of the alleged slayer, but I do not care to make my information public until after my conference with Acting Chief Schuettler.” The alleged discovery of a second bullet in the grate at the Rawn home may play an important part in deter- mining the manner in which the dead rallroad president met his death. This discovery, members of the Rawn family are convinced, is the clinching argument supporting their theory that Mr. Rawn’s revolver was discharged it a burglar and that it was the bullet from the intruder’s weapon that took his life. Insurance officials who were investi- gating the case independently because of his $147,000 of life and accident in- surance, refused to voice any definite opinion. If their investigation should disclose that Mr. Rawn ended his life, the accident policies, aggregating $105,000, probably would become worthless. Mr. Rawn’s funeral occurred during the afternoon and for five minutes everything was at a standstill on the entire Monon system. Shot Grappling With Robber. Livingston, Mont., July 23.—Samuel Gray grappled with one of two un- known robbers who awakened him and three other men from sleep and was fatally shot. - WITTY TOASTS. Humorous Hits That Have Helped to Enliven Banquets, A publisher once gave the follow- ing: “Woman, the fairest work in all creation. The edition is large, and no mwan should be without a copy.” This is fairly seconded by a youth who, giving his distant sweetheart, said, “Delectable dear, so sweet that honey would blush in her presence and treacle stand appalled.” Further, in regard to the fair sex, we have: “Woman—she needs no cu- logy. She speaks for herself”” *“Wo- man, the bitter half of man.” In regard to matrimony some bach- elor once gave, “Marriage, the gate through which the happy lover leaves his enchanted ground and returns to earth.” At the marriage of a deaf and dumb couple some wit wished them “un- speakable bliss.” At a supper given to a writer of comedies a wag said: “The writer's very good health. May he live to be as old as his jokes.” From a law critic: “The bench and the bar. If it were not for the bar there would be little use for the bench.” A celebrated statesman while dining with a duchess on her eightieth birth- day in proposing her health said: “May you live, my lady duchess, un- til you begin to grow ugly.” “l thank you, sir,” she said, “and may you long continue your taste for ""—London Tit-Bits, antiquities.’ George Washington’s Sobriquets. Washington was called by many so- briquets.” He was first of all “Father of His Country.” “Providence left him childless that his country might call him father.” Sigourney calls him “Pa- ter Patriae;” Chief Justice Marshall, the “American Fabius.” Lord Byron in his “Ode to Napoleon” calls him “the Cincinnatus of the West.” For having a new world on his shoulders he was called the “Atlas of America.” The English soldiery called him by the sarcastic nickname of “Lovely Georgi- us.” Red Jacket, the Seneca Indian ‘called him the “Flower of the The Italian poet Vittorlo Al- fleri called him “Deliverer of Ameri- ca.” His bitter opponents sarcastically called’ him the “Stepfather of His Country” during his presidency. Partnership. Once when 1 was a little boy I slept out in a barn all night, and it was cold, and 1 shivered and couldn’t sleep. But in the next yard there was a little dog. and he was cold, too, and he shivered. And I got bim over in the barn, and we lay down together, and he snuggled up to me, and I snuggled up to him. And pretty soon we were both warm, and we both slept. I had warmed him, and he had warmed me. Andso if a fellow snuggles a little hope or a little Joy or a little desire or a little beauty close up against his ache, why, pretty soon it has warmed him, and he has warmed it. He is stronger and better and the whole world of hope or joy or beauty or desire is stronger and bet- ter for it.—Larry Ho in St. Paul Dis- patch. £ Sir Walter’s Knock. “Ruff on the cloak,” remarked Sk Walter Raleigh as he spread dowr his velvet garment before Queen Eliz “I'could not wait until to- morrow, George, to show v you what I have got for you.” The very pen he’s often heard1 ] abont and wanted.
