S. N., retired, was born in Fayette, Mo., February 20, 1848, and received his early education in the schools of his native town. He graduated at the Annapolis academy soon after the close of the civil war and served . aboard various naval vessels and in many parts of the world until he reached the grade of captain in 1901. He was sent on an Arctlc explora- tion trip in 1873 and later accom- panied the Greely relief -expedition to the far North in 1884. He was lighthouse inspector on the Pacific coast from 1885 to 1889. Later he was in charge of the naval station in the Samoan Islands and in command of the battleship Wisconsin. Since his retirement from active service two years ago Admiral Sebree has made his home in southern Cali- fornia.

Being called to his feet unexpect- respond informally to the toast “The Ladies,"” Mr. Gilfers hemmed and hawed and began: “My friends, all that 1 am, all that I have in the world, I owe to & woman—my" wife.” Here he was interrupted by that lady herself, who arose and said: “I told you when you put the property in my name you’'d give it away the first time you opened your wmouth.”—Judge’s Library. . Chinese Descriptives. A few days ago, a Chinaman was being tried in a San Francisco court on the charge of shooting a dog. It was found necessary to use the ser- vices of an interpreter as some of the witnesses could not understand nor speak English. Following is a record of two questions asked by one of the attorneys: Attorney: “Ask him if he was in front- of 1225 Blank street at 4:30 January 137" & Interpreter: “Ping quang hoo hoo qoung. lke buck boo saba a umph 00 00 imph sha wong? Witness: “Iki buck boo saha umph 00 0o imph wong. Que ow telle bunk Pish tush wrow buh yong que sabe sapiensun prow tong tush. Aw issi mude tangi bunko polo quid erow punh yong.” - Interpreter: “He say ‘No.” Attorney: “Ask him, ‘Did you see the dog shot?”” Interpreter: “Oski wowwo skinni buck tong push; yaswi doa yeno poemey wong; aodyr yso cocko wong tung wow; koawi Bang Bank Ki-yi-yi -yi-yi--yi-yi-yi brum wish aus que wu chang.” Witness: “Wu fangu tung changu yow; que cuta pish tush; meaw fush row tunny kunish rawi; cutum que offum.

An Irishman once went to market with a load of grain and an ox team. After disposing of his produce he stopped in at a thirst emporium and an hour or so later started for home some the worse for wear. On the road he fell asleep in the bottom of the wagon. He awoke the next morn- ing slightly befuddled and with no oxen in sight. Gazing around, he fi- nally came to this conclusion: “Be- gorrah, an’ if ye're Pat, ye've lost a team of o’ oxen; and if ye're not Pat, ye've found a wagon.” . Amateur: “I believe my feet are freezing.” Professional skater: “Well, you know they were pretty cold on this proposition when we started.” . Mary: “When did you meet Mr. Jones?” Martha: “Oh, T fell in with him while skating.” Mistress, (who has received a broad hint that an extra evening off will be appreciated)—“Cook tells me, Mary, that you wish to go out with a young man this evening. Is it urg- ent . Mary: gent.” “No, mum, He’s me own He: “I dreamed of you last nigth. Do you &ver dream of me?” She, (suppressing a yawn), “No, but I’d like to very much.” —Dertoit Free Press. - ” “All the parts in this play are fat parts.” “They have to be when the play it- self is laid in Greece.” b AN EVASIVE ANSWER. (National Monthly.) A lady, sending a new servant to answer the doorbell, said: “If anybody asks if I am in, g‘ve an evasive answer.” The servant soon returned. “Who was it?” asked the mistress. “A gentleman who wanted to see you, ma’am, and I gave him an evasive answer.” “What did you say?” “] asked him if his grandmother was a monkey?” IN THE COUNTRY. “Sell many bullfrogs this week?” .- “Twice as many as usual.” “Bull frog business is on the Jump, aln't 1t7 Always.

Camphor In Practice 8ince 1906. _There have been and still are many varieties of treatment for pneumonia. A long list would be required to indi- sate all the medicaments which have been employed against it. Some even consider that this affection is an all- ment which has a deflnite cycle, They are of the opinion that no medi- cation should be adopted which might act on it and disturb its development, the proper course to take being one of “expectation,” or better, a thera- peautique armee more particularly de- signed to combat complication, Dr. Serbert, in the Muenchner Medi- tinlsche Wochenschrift, describes the remarkable results which he obtained In the treatment of serious cases of Jneumonia by means of strong doses of camphor. He first had occasion to use it in 1906 in a case of double pneumonia, where the patient was also suffering from typhoid fever. He therefore practiced a subcutaneous injection of 12 centimeters of cam- phorated ofl (20 per cent.) recently sterilized. “The results obtained on the pulse and respiration and gen- eral condition were extremely satis- faciory. He renewed this dose every 12 hours, and he found after three days the trouble had disappeared. Dr. Serbert has since employed the same treatment in 21 cases, one of which was extremefy serlous, since it was a question of double complicated pneumonia in a woman seventy-two years old. All these cases recovered. It seem certain that the camphor pro- duced these effects, since there was no real crisis, the cure being gradual and slowly . effected. — Philadelphia North American.

WEALTH OF THE NATIONS o S e United States Does Not Make Tre mendously Good Showing In World’s Financlal Column, For all its vaunted wealth the Unit- ed States, in so far as per capita ratio goes, does not make such a tremen- dously good showing in the world’s financial column. The wealth in the United States In 1910 was estimated at $125,000,000,000, by far the greatest amount credited in bulk to any one country. Yet the per capita wealth was only $1,359. Great Britain in 1909 was worth $88,725,000,000, each person, according to the census, thus getting $1,972. France, with $83,000,000,000 in 1910, kad a per capita wealth of $2,090; Germany had $63,500,000,000, with a per capita of $1,000. Russia’s total wealth was $60,000,000,000, but Its enormous population dragged the P per capita down to $400, while Swit- > zerland, with a total wealth of only $3,030,000,000, has a per capita rating of $866. The per capita division in Sweden amounts to $402 out of a total of $2,197,000,000. Switzerland, in the Jast few years, made a 20 per cent. gain in national wealth. The average’ per capita wealth in the 25 cantons ranges from $1,885 in ‘Geneva to $279 In Tessin. Switzerland thué stands very high. The population in 1821 was 1,886,229, so that in 90 years' Himesiit has not doubled. France, it 'will be noted, stands at the head of the nations with a per capita wealth of $2,070. 'That the United - States, || with its enormous total, does not rank higher is because of the rapidly fn- creasing population. France, on the- contrary, has reported a diminishing or at the most a very slowly increas- Ing population, so that the money-ad- vance has become greater than the birth rate. “Do you suppose 1 could see 2 tele gram sent in 18857 tonger until the boy delivers 1t?" The Crewless Ship. The German Naval league has just tested the work of an inventor of Nu- remberg, & ship to run without & crew. The transmitter with a mast similar to that.used in wireless telegraphy com- mands the ship, which works systemat- lcally during a period of hours. The phip turns to right and left, backs and comes to & stop as if run by a man in the engine room.” Multicolored ligh show the maneuvers to the men ashore. This practical invention is now under study in the German navy. Pri- marily destined for use in connection || with the discharge of torpedoes, it is now under expert consideration as a medium for the control of dirigible bal- loons. Kites provided with phosphoric apparatus and steered by Hertzlan waves will be & new accession to the German army. Chance for One-Armed Man, “I'm looking for a one-armed man,” said the patron of a New York restau- rant. “If you know of a man who has only a right hand I can make him a good business proposition—one that will save him a lot of good dollars and save me the same amount. His right hand, however, must be a No. 7%. “It’s this way: Several months ago I sprained my ankle and for many months was obliged to lean heavily on | & cape. To protect my left hand I wore a glove on that hand, but did not use one on the right. The result was that I wore out dozens of left: gloves, but the right hand ones I nev- or put on.” One From Papa. “Papa,” asks the litle boy, “why do they say a woman is ‘setting her cap’ for & man when she wants to marry him?” 3 “Becduse, my son,” explains ulQ fathier softly, “if she sets her bonnet.| for him she knows blamed well the pricéiof it will scare him to death."— Judg®s Library. 2 Mary Bowe ‘i Baltimore’s Experience, = 6 more you hear about whlt th boomers- is goin’ wdoflmmmx don’t hear about what they have went :n'.o'k and did.—Baltimore Eunlll. 3 Jennit I Trouble About Reform.: “T specks,” sald Uncle Eben,” “dat reform would be a heap easfer if dar WaR't 80 many different people kickin® ‘bout. dm"n “Why don't you wait a few years | 15 cents. ad gets to them all, HOW THOSE WANT ADS ‘DO THE BUSINESS They_tell what you have to sell to everybody in Bemidji.
