FIVE-INCH GUN EXPLODES Dead Include Lieutenant Arthur G. Caffee, in Charge of the Ba(tery, and Three Other Members of -the Gun Crew—Only Two Witnesses of the Occurrence Escape Death or Serious Injury. Washington, Nov. 21.—Four men were killed by the premature explo- sion of a five-inch fifty-one caliber gun at the Indianhead proving grounds of. the navy. The breechblock of the gun, which was being tested, blew backward into the crew which was firing the gun. Lieutenant Arthur G. Caffee, who was in charge of the gun, was one of the men killed. The dead in addition to Lieutenant Caffee are: J. L. Brown, battery fore- man, instantly killed; Nelson Jackson, a negro battery attendant, fatally in- jured, and died shortly afterward; J. J. Leary, ordnance man, fatally in- jured, died later. Sidney Dyson, negro, a member of the gun crew, was seriously injured. The ordnance bureau has ordered a board of inquiry to develop details of the accident, the only witnesses to which, so far as can be learned, were John C. Coleman and Sidney Dyson, both colored. ASQUITH IS STANDING PAT Curbing of House of Lords Main Issue in Coming Election. London, Nov. 21.—Premier Asquith opened tne radical campaign in a speech at a luncheon of the National Liberal club. He announced no new policies, confining himself to the nail- ing down of the planks of the platform upon which the last election was fought. The government, Mr. Asquith said, was determined to bring an end at once and for all time to the present system, under which Liberal legisla- tion did not have a fair chance, and to confine the second chamber to sub- ordinate functions appropriate to such a body. The Liberals were fighting for progressive legislation and the com- plete establishment of a representa- tive government. Regarding the recent activity of the lords in the matter of reforming them- selves, the premier said that the rea- son for this was clearly apparent, as the Tories could not face another elec- tion with the incubus of the house of jlords on their backs PADLOCK BILL TAKEN UP Measure Under Discussion in Spanish Chamber of Deputies. Madrid, Nov. 21.—The discussion of the “padlock bill” was begun in the chamber of deputies. The Carlists op- posed this measure. This bill as orig- inally drawn forbade the entrance of new orders until a revision of the con- cordat had been accomplished or a definite law on the subject passed. The senate adopted an amendment limiting the period.of interdiction to two years. This was viewed as a con- cession to the opposition by the pre- mier. ‘The Vatican has taken the position that, in view of the pending negotia- tions, the government should not adopt any legislation having a direct bearing on differences that might be adjusted in a revision. DEATH RATE IS REDUCED Modern Sanitary Methods Show Re- sults in Philippines. New York, Nov. 21.—The ‘employ- ment of modern sanitary methods in the Philippines has resulted in im- proved health conditions and a notable fall in the death rate, according to statistics gathered by the Manila rep- resentative- of a New York medical journal. In the city of Manila, he says, the average death rate has dropped from 40 per F000 to 34.9. By nationalities the death rate is as follows: Americans, 12.9; Spaniards, 15.6; Chinese, 18.2; Europeans other than Spaniards, 21.7; Filipinos, 36.9. Loses One Vote on Recount. Minneapolis, Nov. 21.—Mayor James C. Haynes was re-elected by a' plu- rality of thirty-three votes, according to the recount made by referees ap- pointed by the court. This is a loss of one vote for Haynes. W. E. Satter- lee’s vote did not change, while Thom- as Van Lear, Public Ownership candi- date, gained 252 votes. = Fire Refugees Make Long Walk. Salisbury, Mo., Nov. 21.—Two forest fire refugees from Minnesota, James Clapman and wife, both more than seventy years old, arrived here after a walk of about 500 miles, only to find their children had moved away from this city. They came here from Sul- livan, Minn., and were penniless when they arrived. Old Time Carving. An ancient book on carving says that the only meats that were “carv- ed” were mutton and beef. You had to “break a deer, rear a goose, lift a swan, sauce a capon, spoil a hen, frush a chicken, unbrace a mallard. unlace a cony, dismount a heron, dis- play a crane, disfigure a peacock, un- joint a bittern, untack a curlew, alaye a pheasant, wing a partridge or a quail, mince a plover, thigh a: pigeon or any other small blrd and border a game pie.” “THE BELTED PLAID. This Was the Original Dress of the Scottish Highlander. The origfnal dress of the highlander was the belted plaid. This was a piece of tartan cloth, two yards broad and four long, which was drawn around the waist in nicely adjusted folds and tightly buckled with a belt. The lower part came down to the knees in much the same manner as the modern kilt, Yile the upper part was drawn up and adjusted to the left shoulder, so that the right arm might be perfectly free. This upper part was the plaid, which was used as a covering for the shoulders and body in wet weuther, and when the use of both arms was required it was fastened across the breast with a brooch, often curiously enriched. A brooch was also used to fasten the plaid on the left shoulder. To attire himself in the belted plaid required on the part of the highlander no small amount of dexterity. The usual way was to lay it on the floor and - aftér carefully arranging the folds to lie down upon it and then buckle it on. The.lower end was fas- tened at the right hip. The utility of such a dress in the highlands is ob- vious, for the plaid rendered the man indifferent to storms and prepared to pass a night in the open air in the most inclement weather, while the loose undergarment enabled him to wade rivers or ascend mountains with equal ease. It was thus peculiarly adapted to the warrior, the hunter and the shepherd.—London Mail. SHE LOVED SNUFF. Remarkable Will and Funeral of a Queer Englishwoman. The will of Mrs. Margaret Thomp- son, which is preserved as a curiosity at Somerset House, England, is a trib- ute to the delights and consolations of snuff. The testatrix directed that in her coffin should be Buried with her all her handkerchiefs and sufficient of the best Scotch snuff to cover her body. This she preferred to flowers, as “noth- ing could be more fragrant and so re- freshing to me as that precious pow- der.” Further, the six greatest snuff takers in the parish of St. James, Westminster, were to be her bearers. Six old maids, each bearing in her hand a box filled with the best Scotch snuff to take for their.refreshment as they walked, were to bear the pall. Before the corpse the minister was to walk, carrying and partaking of a pound of snuff. At every twenty yards a handful of snuff was to be delivered to the bystanders, and at the door of the testatrix’s house were to be placed two bushels of the same quality of snuff for gratuitous distribution. In order to insure the carrying out of her wishes the testatrix made the legacies given by the will dependent upon an exact and literal fulfillment of the conditions above named. In closing she bade all concerned to regard snuff as the grand cordial of nature. Toned It Down. “King Edward,” said an English vis- itor in New York, “hated snobbish- ness. To show how ridiculous snob- bishness was he used often to tell about an alphabet book of his child- hood. “This book had alliterative sentence: arranged under each letter, thus: “*Callous Caroline caned a cur cruel- Iy “‘Henry hated the heat of heavy hats.” A “Under the letter V came the face- tious sentence; ““Villiam Vilkins viped his Veskit' “But the young prince’s snobbish tutors thought this sentence too vulgar and low tor their charge and accord- ingly they substituted for it the more refined and genteel line: “ ‘Vincent leng viewed a vacant villa’” Gonius and Mediocrity. Corneille did not speak correctly the language of which he was such a mas- ter.. Descartes ‘was silent in mixed society.

PURITY AND QUALITY Pure because they ére made in clean work rooms by American labor Best, because they are made by hand,— the taffy is pulled by hand—the chocolates are dipped by hand— under sanitary conditions. and stupid when surrounded by men. The Countess of Pembroke had been often heard to say of Chaucer that his silence was more agreeable to her than his conversation. Socrates, cele- brated for his written orations, was so timid that he never ventured to speak in public. Dryden said that he was unfit for company. Hence it has been remarked, “Mediocrity can talk; it is for genius to observe.” The Art of Carpentry. How many common figurative ex- pressions in our language are bor: rowed from the art of carpentry may be seen from the following sentence: “The lawyer who filed the bill, shaved the note, cut an acquaintance, split a hair, made an entry, got up a case. framed an indictment, impaneled a jury, put them into a box, nailed a witness, hammered a judge and bored a whole court, all in one day, has since 1aid down law and turned carpenter.” Contrary Human Nature. “T suppose it is our natural contrarl- ness which makes us do such paradox- leal things. “Such as what?" “As makes us long for things when we are short.”—Baltimore American.

In every large city there are now dentists who devote their entire atten- tion to horses, and they are kept sur- prisingly busy the year round. The equine dentist is of course provided with special instruments for the ex- traction and filling of the teeth of ani- mals needing attention. It is rather interesting to observe an operation in horse dentistry. One of -the instru- ments, called a speculum, presents the appearance of an ivory handle and four small bars of nickel working on a ratchet and crossing one another in such a manner as to form a hollow square that can be made large or small by the turning of a screw. Setting this device to the proper size, the horse dentist will slip it gently into the suffering animal’s mouth, which, during the operation, is kept partly open by a groom, and when the instru- ment is fitted upon, say, one of the back teeth the beast's mouth is kept open as wide as possible—Harper's Weekly. Matea. Any one with halt an eye could see that be was madly in love with her, but he had not courage enough to put his fate to the test. But she was a young lady who knew her way about, as the saying goes, and one night she suggested a game of chess. He, poor tellow, eagerly swallowed the bait. If he was a novice at lovemaking he was certainly no uovice at chess, and he soon had the fair maid hopelessly beaten. “Ah!” he exclaimed as he put her in a hopeless corner. *“You're in a tight corner now, Miss Mabel.” She looked at him with those beautl- ful eyes of hers and then said: “I hadn’t noticed any compression, George. Have 1 no escape?” “None- whatever,” said the guileless George. *I shall mate you next move.” “Oh, George!” said she, with a be- coming blush. *“Er—badn’t you better ask father ‘first?” They are married now, and George often wonders if she is as dense at thess as she would make him believe.

D. 5 DRUG STORE IONE 304 A Bird’s Barbed Wire Fences. | There may be seen along the road- sides in Central America a brown wren about the size of a canary which bullds a mest out of all proportion to its ap- parent needs. ' It selects a small tree with horizontal branches growing close together. Across two of the branches it lays sticks fastened together with tough fiber until a platform about six feet long by two feet wide has been constructed. On the end of this plat- form nearest the tree trunk it then builds a huge dome shaped nest a foot or so high with thick sides of inter- woven thorns. A covered passageway is then made from the nest to the end of the platform in as crooked a man- ner as possible. Across the outer end, as well as at short intervals ulong the inside of this tunnel, are placed cun- ning little fences of thorns with just space enough for the owners to pass TIEGLER & ZIEGLER CO.| - ‘““THE LAND MEN"" INSURANCE FIRE = LIFE = ACCIDENT Real Estate in All lts Branches FARM LANDS BOUGCHT AND SOLD Go to Them for Quick Action Office--Schroeder Building through.

Penkni Nowadays we use penknives prinel- pally for sharpening pencils. There was a time. however, when they were used primarily for doing something else. They used to be just what their name would indicate—they were “pen- knives.” The anclents used pens made of goose quills, just as our fore- fathers did up to about a hundred years agc. The quill pen was made by hand, of course, and whenever the point of one would break or lose its elasticity it was up to the penman to put a new point or “nib” on the quill. This was done with a small knife, and hence we have the word that has out- lived the quill pen a hundred years— “penknife.” In the olden times the penknife was a necessary accessory of the writing desk. When the clasp- knife came in the smaller sizes took their name from the little desk knife, while the bigger ones were called “Jackknives,” “jack” signifying any- thing masculine or big and strong.— Kansas City Star., Saw It In a Dream. For many years ivory manufacturers were trying to devise a machine for turning out a billiard ball as nearly perfect as possible and at the same time avoiding waste. Among those who strove to perfect such a machine was Mr. John Carter of the firm of John Carter & Son, well known ivory manufacturers of half a century ago, ‘whose premises will stand in Bishops- gate. One night after Mr. Carter had been striving to solve the problem for some time he suddenly awoke his wife by shouting out, “I have got it!” and rushed downstairs into his study, where he made a drawing of the last knife, for the want of which he had been so long waiting in order to com- | plete his machine. It appears that he | had fallen asleep and dreamed about the machine, and in the dream the so- lution of the difficulty was revealed to him.—London Standard. Brown Eyes and Color Blindness. Color blindness is one of the great drawbacks to a large percentage of men who would enlist in the United States marine corps, according to the recruiting officers. “We have a box filled with different colored yarn,” said an officer of that branch of the service. “We ask the prospective recruit to pick out green, for instance. If he is color blind he will invariably pick all the red yarn. ‘We place it all back in the box again and ask him to pick out the red. In nine cases out of ten out will come the green. “Another strange thing I have no- ticed is that most persons who are color blind have brown eyes. Once in awhile a person with eyes of a differ- ent color is afilicted that way, but as a general rule they are persons with brown eyes.”—Kansas City Star. The Oid Problem. “This magazine looks rather the worse for wear.” “Yes; it's the one I sometimes lend to the servant on Sundays.” “Doesn’t she get tired of reading al- ways the same one?” “Oh, no.
