But Mrs. Starkweather declined to do -this. She had been troubled lately with heart attacks and at the time of her death had some heart stimu- lent in her handbag. William Houk, state labor commis- sioner, expressed the most extreme sorrow when informed of Mrs. Starkweather’s death. He said: “I cannot say too much good about Mrs. Starkweather. In her zeal for better conditions for women and children she worked herself to death. She was one of the noblest women I have ever known.” OFFER WILL END SOON The Pioneer to Withdraw its Web- sterian Dictionaries From Ad- vertising Sale. Delays are dangerous, and, as busines demands the withdrawal of the Pioneer Dictionary, you have no time to lose in clipipng that coupon. Even for the sake of further educat- ing the public the present distribu- tion cannot be continued. In a few days the proposition of supplying the big little bundles of ready reference information bound in limp leather will be abandoned and the book that is worth $5.00 will be placed upon the shelves of book stores, the pre- sentation will end, and the sale at $4.00 a volume will be started. You will have to hurry. In an effort to bar ignorance and incompetence in order to raise the standard of their profession, sten- ographers of Bemidji are giving the educational campaign their unani- mous support. The reason for the low average of wages paid the toilers at the type- writer has been given by employers as a lamentable lack of knowledge of the English language, spelling and punctuation, on the part of the employed. The plan which the Pioneer has suggested and. the stenographers are eagerly endorsing is that each opera- tor who is anxious:to better his or her conditich. obtain the best and handiest work of English ever com- piled—the New Websterian 1912 dictionary, illustrated. Practical experience has proved that by using the work as an error eliminator perfect copy can be pro- duced and the argument of the employer that the employe is not worth more than the low salary paid successfuly refuted. The demand of stenographers for dictionaries is growing hourly, and the result is sure to be more money and better work. This dictionary is not published by the original publishers of Web- ster’s dictionary, or by their succes- sors. Clip the coupon from another page of this issue. Notice to Water Consumers.

Judson Harmon of Ohio, though -a fearless speaker on occa sion, is equally noted for his preg: nant silences. When he was a small boy in an Ohio village hig chief play mate was another small boy named Bill. Among the legitimate objects of boyish foray the pair at one time gave their attention to a supply of fruit which Judson’s mother had stored In a cherished recess. When Mrs. Harmon finally discovered that the fruit was diminishing she prompt- 1y attributed the loss, with a.mother's partiality, to her son’s playmate, Wwhose rogulsh traits were glaringly apparent to her. Bill at his next visit received her 'vigorous denunciatien without affirma. tive or denial, though not without glances of indignant inquiry at Jud- son, who stoed silently by, with a simulation of gurprise and regret. As soon as the boys had escaped to the yard, Bill, in righteous wrath at the supposed treason of his pal, burst out: “Look here, Jud! Were you ornery enough to lay the blame o' that steal- in’ on to me?” “Course not!” Jud replied. “What do you take me for?” “Well, it looked mighty like you had, when you stood there all the time a-sayin’ nothin.” “Yes, Bill,” admitted Judson, with a cautious glance toward the house. “But as long as there's any fruft left, let ‘em suspect you. If they're all the time watchin’ the outside I can be usefuller on the inside. See?"—Judge, PLAN TO USE OCEAN WATER Engineers of Californla City Have Project Which Does Credit to Their Ingenuity.

The supply Is already inadequate, and an applica- tlon for a part of the -Owens river from Los Angeles has not been grant- ed. Now it is proposed to distill ocean water for domestic purposes, and the municipality may purchase the Burning mountain, several miles up the coast in the Santa Monica range, for use as a heating plant. It Is believed the sea water could be car- ried through a “U” pipe deep to the bot interfor of the smoking hill and distilled at practically no cost.

Crosses Lake on Water Shoes. A Germay cabinet maker has con- structed a pair of water shoes with the help of which he walks upon the water. He has already crossed Lake Amner, in Bavaria, 12,000 feet wide, in two hours. These water shoes are really two long, narrow boxes of pine wood, squared off at the rear end and shaped like the bow of a boat in front. To preserve his balance the traveler grasps two upright posts. At the outer edge of each boat or shoe three small paddles, shaped like rudders, are fast- ened. These move on hinges and are worked by a sliding mechanism that {3 operated by the traveler pushing his feet forward alternately, like a boy learning to skate. He can travel rap- 1dly and with safety on smooth water, although the apparatus is probably not fit for use in stormy weather. Those who have tested it assert that it does not tax the strength as much as row- ing a moderately sized boat. The in- ventor uses his water shoes almost every day for crossing the lake and traRsporNng K18 Tools a: amount. of luggage. Mrs. Elizabeth Davidson has the dis- | president in the state of Maine and the fourth in this country. The bank ‘was founded 19 years ago and for 13 years continued under the same man- agement and in the same small rented room. The first president dying, the directors elected Mrs. Davidson to take his place. It was such a small matter that they were willing to trust it to a woman. Mrs. Davidson went into the business with such vim that the deposits.increased from hundreds to thousands and -tens of thousands. From one rented room the bank guar- ters increased steadily, and a whort time ago 1t was moved Into a fine new building erected for it. Mrs. Davidson attends every meeting of the directors and keeps in close touch with every detall of the business. When Right Seemed Wrong. Brown, a stranger in a Canadian city, stopped a pert looking newsboy and asked directions to a well-known park. He grew wrathy as he repeat- ed the urchin’s instructions, “Take any old street car,” Brown echoed. “Yes. “And at the end of the line change to the first young street car. Is that what you said?” “Yes,” answered the boy with a grin. Then he shied off at the gentle- man’s gesture toward his cheek. “You'd better run,” Brown called after him; “you needn’t try your smart tricks on me, or I'll thrash you.” He walked away, stepped at a news- dealer’s to buy a city guide, and found the directions to the park as follows: “Take any Olde street car to the end of line, then change to Yonge.” Humor In Music. As to the possibility of humor in music, the London Telegraph says: “I composers and performers had more of the sense of humor, music’s ap- peal would be immensely wider. The truth is that musical performers are far too apt to take themselves toa seriously.” The solemn attitude of some musicians toward their art was humorously rebuked recently by a well known New York pianist, who remarked to his gifted wife, also a planist, at the conclusion of a per formance by the latter:” “My dear. don’t look eo doleful! Music isn’t - ‘uneral; music is a joke.” Public Paper Adulterated. The committee on printing discov ers that the paper used in govern ment_work has been so adulterated that the durability of public records {8 seriously imperiled. The acultera: tlon consists in substituting clay for the more substantial wood or rag fiber. Hence the paper is lkely tc crumble in less than a century. Ev ery year the government spends for paper $1,0000,000. The public printer has advertised for bids on 25,000 pounds of paper, but the use of clay and mineral fillers for the future wil “e closely watched and restricted. Postman Has Walked Far. An official walk of 200,000 miles has been accomplished by Leonard Wavell, a rural postman of Sandown, Isle of Wight, England. For the last 18 years he has daily walked from Sandown tq Newchurch, via Apse Heath and Borth- wood and back, a distance of about 20 miles. During the previols 13 years he covered the same district from Newport, the total distance covered being about the same. Thus for 31 years he has walked 20 miles daily.— “ondon Daily Mall, CAR OF KEIFFER PEARS - $1.00 per Bushel (AR OF APPLES - 90c per Bushel Cash on Delivery It always pays to wait for the “Old Reliable,” 16 years in business, still ready to serve you at bottom prices, than the outside peddler.

The old British oak frigate South- ampton has been sold by the admiral- ty to shipbreakers. This ‘interest- ing old ship was laid down at Dept- ford dockyard at 1806, the year after the battle of Trafalgar. Owing to the demand for seasoned oak at that time she was not compléted until 1818 She @id good service on the South African station, and in 1841 she saved Natal from the Boers by covering the land ing of two regiments of infantry, In June 1867, she was lent by the British admiralty as a training ship for boya to the Hull committee.

President Lincoln is sometimes sald to have held advanced views on the labor question; the actual words which he used, on which this asser tion is usually based, are to be found In his first annual message to con- gress, written fifty years ago this Evening Post): “Labor is prior_to and independent of capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed it labor had not first existed. 'Labor is the superlor ot capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.” This was sald In a discussion of the slavery question.
