It is too bad that Lorimer the Blond Boss and illegal senator from Illinofs insists on being kicked out instead of quietly yesigning his seat in the United States senate. In an effort to thwart the newly convened senate in itg determination to dislodge him, Senator Lorimer is once more welding his forces and making threats that “there are others.” He got away with this # k..once, but the handwriting is now < YFBain upon the wall and Lorimer's L days in the senate are numbered. This seems certain as the result .of the testimony given at Spring-| field a few days ago when it was shown that a pool of $100,000 had been made up to pay for Lorimer’s election, If there was any doubt that Lori- mer had been elected by corrupt methods, those doubts now are dis- pelled. Add to this the fact that the new senate is made up of men who probably would have been will- ing to vote Lorimer out even on the old evidence and you readily can see what chance the 1llinois politician has of holding on the job which has eost his so much money and worry. NOW FOR A KIDNAPPING EPIDEMIC. Aside from the human emotions | stirred by the theft of a child from its mother’s breast, the public has other interest in the kidnapping case at Las Vegas, New Mexico, when two henious hounds, after robbing a wo- man of her two year old son at the! hour of midnight, afterward wrung $12,000 as ransom for the return of the infant. The public is interested because the escape of the knaves is almost sure to mean that there is to be an epidemic of kidnapping in all parts of the country. It will be remember- ed that in the case of little Willie Witlaw, who was stolen from his Pennsylvania home two years ago, the papers were filled with accounts of other such attempts. The cap- ture of the man and woman, how- ever, to blame for this outrage and the long prison sentences quickly imposed had the effect of putting a crimp in the nefarious business, at least in states protected by stringent laws bearing on the crime. In Minnesota the statutes provide that “every person who shall wil- fully lead, take, entice away or de- out proper punishment. { | he doesn't sleep here at night, but he age with intent to conceal him from ‘his parent, guardian or other person having lawful control over him, or to extort or obtain money or reward for his return or disposition, shall be guilty of kidnapping and shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for not more than twenty years.” While this is not so severe as the Pennsylvania law which permits life imprisonment, it probably is harsh enough to make would-be kid- mnappers ponder well before attempt- ing to get “easy money” in this fashion. Many persons, are of the opinion that a more severe law would come nearer to meting In any event the home of the well- to-do or wealthy always is in danger from this most detestable of all criminals and it is a wise precaution on the part of parents to keep a watchful eye on their youngsters, es- pecially after the publicity which has been given the Las Vegas case.

Alem Rousseau, was once pleading a rather tiresome case and, noticing that the judges were paying no attention to him,'said, “As the president is falling asleep I sus- | pend my speech.” But the judge had Just woke up and cried, “And 1 sus- pend you from practicing for six months.” Nothing daunted, the law- yer retorted, ““Well, [ suspend myself | forever and ever,” and, gathering np ! his brief and cap, Le left the court and never appeared again. A Paris barrister, M. Clery, however, was more vigorous. Seeing that the president and the assessors were all asleep, he stopped, and, dealing a tre- mendeus blow on the desk in frout of | him that woke everybody up with a ' hour I was saying”— And the whole vench rubbed their eyes and usked each other if they had really slept through twenty-four hours. The satie coiisel was pleading at Versailles on a cold day and remarked that the judges were all turning more and more around toward a stove that gave out a welcome heat. “The tribu- nal behind which I have the honor of speaking’’ brought them all right about face at once. He Had a Claim, In a certain town was a young law- yer whose father was very rich and who had been sent to an eastern law school. Since his graduation he had done nothing except open an office be- cause he had plenty of money. This young lawyer was proposed for mem- bership in the local fire company. “We cannot élect him,” one of the members protested. ‘“The constitution of our compuny says that the mem- bers of it must sleep and live here in the city, and he lives out of town on a farm and not in the city at all. He would be of no value at all in case of a fire at night. He doesn’t sleep here at night.” - “No,” replied his proposer; “it is true sleeps here in his office all day.” And they elected him on that ground. —Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post.

He'd pro- duced some tales of mystery. of travel. love and history; his scientific treatises light o’er the land had shed. He wrote about photography. geography, stenog- raphy; be‘'d finished a biograpby of some distinguished man, His views ! upon geometry and mystic trigonometry were everywhere declared to be on the progressive plan, His tracts on modern sciences, mechanical appli- ances, hydmullés, steam and railroads were indulgently received. His writ- ings on morality were of superior qual- ity—were publicly commended. if they weren't quite believed. His verses so poetical, abstruse and theoretical, de- lighted those who patronize the poets as a fad, but the manuscript he thought the best, the one that money brought the best, was just a simple, wisely worded. big newspaper ad.!—Newspa- | perdom, ‘l Little Boy Grizzly.

The remuneration of postal clerks in Russia includes emoluments which do ! not appear in the form of money. They | are furnished quarters, heat and light, and in addition allowances for upi- forms as well as medical attendance and medicine for themselves and their families, In cities like Moscow a large hospital is maintained for the conven- ience of postal clerks and carriers. Their children are admitted to the schools free of charge. which in Russia: is quite an item of expense, especially in preparatory schools for colleges, to which the children of the titled and pay of clerks and carriers ranges’from: $12.50 to $18 per month. They may, moreover, receive gratuities from those to whom they deliver mail. Police Methods In Berlin. Berlin is the most strictly governed city in the world, and a stranger will ‘e continually violating' the ordinances and regulations without being con- scious of his offenses. But the penal- ties are not severe, and the policeman who arrests you is prepared to im- pose the fine on the spot instead of calling a patrol wagon and taking you to the police station. You pay him a few marks, for which he gives you a receipt. and within twenty-four hours you must appear before the captain in charge of that precinct and turn in the receipt as a check upon the po- liceman who has arrested you.

H. Hartung, in National Magazine. Coming In Out of the Wet. There is an amusing story by Athe- naeus which suggests the possible ori- gin of the phrase “He does not know enough to come in out of the wet." Ac- cording to the entertaining grammarian referred to. a town in Greece under stress of evil circumstances borrowed from a rich man. who took as security for the loan a mortgage on the handsome portico which surrounded the market place. He was not an un- generous creditor, for when it rained he caused the town criers to announce that the citizens had permission to take refuge under the colonnade. ed to have the ma-ter properly explain- ed to them were so impressed by the extraordinary circumstances that they spread abroad the report that the peo- Dle were so stupid that they had to be told when 19 come in out of the wet. When a Dog Chokes. Dogs frequently choke. A*bone, a nail or a piece of tin gets in the throat, and there is great danger of death before the arvival of the surge.n. Many of them do die, but there is no reason for this. for it is easy, without the slightest danger of getting bitten, to put the hand in the mouth of a dog aud to draw out or push down the ob- struction that is choking it. A bandage ~a handkerchlef or towel will do—is passed between the teeth and over the upper jaw, and in a similar way anoth- er bandage is passed between the teeth and over the under jaw. One person, holding the ends of these two band- “the wealtby only are admitted. The {ages, keeps the dog’s mouth wide open. A sevond person can then with perfect ease and safety put his fingers down the animal’s throat and relieve it. A Snake Story. This story .is told of the late Dr. ‘Emil Reich. One day when traveling he lay dowu to rest in the shadow of a bush and fell asleep. He awoke with a start to find that night was coming on and that rain had begun to fall. Quickly snatching up his umbrella, he tried to open it and. finding it worked stiffly. he pressed the spring vigorous- ly. Suddenly there was a sound of ripping and tearing and a snake fell to the ground split in two. The reptile had apparently swallowed the umbrel- la-as far as it could! Original Era of Good Feeling. The phrase applied to the administra- tion of James Monroe, “the era of good feeling.” first appeared in a Bos- ton mewspaper. the Columbian Sentinel of July 10. 1817. From that time until the present hour the two administra- tions of Monroe—a period of eight years, 1717 to 1825—are referred to in the terms of the newspaper paragraph which so aptly expressed the public sentiment of the day.—Magazine of American History.

Daniel Wilson, His House. Dr. Daniel - Wiison, afterward prin- cipal of the University of Toronto, used in earlier days to live near Lau- riston. in Scotland. One day Dr. John Beddoe (who has written an autobiog- raphy) set out to find him. “Having,” he says, “no clear idea of the situation of the house, I entered St. Margaret’s lane, which I conceived must lead in the right direction, and, meeting a gen- tleman just about to issue therefrom, asked whether he could direct me to Dr. Wilson’s new house. He looked hard at me and inquired: **Do you know Daniel Wilson? ‘1 do.’ ‘Intimately? ‘Yes, intimately.' ‘Then follow this road till you see a house that looks as if it belongs to Daniel Wilson, and that will be it 1 thanked him and, following his advice, had no difficulty in identifying the house. It had a window which con- tained some tracery of a pattern which 1 knew Wilson considered peculiarly Scottish.” Forbidden Ground. ! A visit of Gladstone to the Isle ot Man is recalled by Agnes Herbert and described in her book about that in- teresting little speck in the midst of the Irish sea. Mr. Gladstone had made a detour across a small holding in Rushen, and his way lay through the “haggart,” where the stacks are harvested. A strong, powerfully built Manxwoman stood throwing up the straw to the stack, using her fork as deftly and quickly as a farm laborer. “That is very hard work, my good woman,” the Grand Old Man is re- ported to have said graciously, “but you look well and strong. May I ask how old you are?” The toiler hardly turned as she an- swered sharply: “How oul' art thou thyself, thou im- perent oul’ man?” A Story Pepys Tells. Pepys tells in his diary that in the reign of King Charles II. a customer bargaining with a London merchant for claret hired a confederate to “‘thun- der (which he had the art of doing upon & deal board) and to rain and hajl—that is, make the noise of—so as to give them a pretense of undervalu- ing their merchant’s wines, by saying this thunder would spoil and turn them, which was so reasonable to the merchant that he did abate two pis-! tolls per tun for the wine in belief of .that.” KNOWN VALUES ’UBLISHERS CLASSIFIED ADVERTIS- ING ASSOCIATION PAPERS WE ARE MEMBERS .
