Here, in the Welfare Association, You Will Find All the Problems, on a Tiny Scale, Which Vex a Great Nation —Insurrection, Progressives and Stand-Patters, Financial Stringencies, High-Cost-of-Living Debates and Grumbling Over Distribution of Offices. By CARLOS F. HURD. ™ HERE is something on Ninth street at : might beside theater lights, taxicabs aid cafe entrances. Walk south from. the postoffice, past the plate glass windows of Olive Street and the garishness of Market street, and ‘stop at the corner of Ninth and Walnut, if you would see a grim contrast to scenes of luxury and prodigality. Outside, only the reflected light from the streets to the north and the distant, seemingly fronical glow of the “Welcome” sign over thé City Hall entrance. Inside, a kerosene-lighted room, bare as a barn loft save for ragged posters on the walis. A lunch counter of rough boards is in one corner, and across the room stretches “e clothesline burdened with undershirts, socks and bandana handkerchiefs, hung as near as pos- sible to the open door of the big coal stove. Around the fire sit the owners of the garments, their coat collars around their necks, after the fashion of a Sunday afternoon “boiling-up” in a | - pallroad construction camp. The situation is no new one to them, for these are the members of the Brotherhood Welfare Association. James Hads How's hoboes, they are commonly called, and while most of them do not mind being ‘termed hoboes, some of them are sensitive about “the suggestion that the bridge builder’s gentle grandson has any proprietary interest in them. While St. Louisans in evening dress were oc- few nights ago, seeing actors portray the life of the underworld, these men were working out prob- - Jeme for themselves in the room on Walnut ' gtreéet. The problems did not present themselves fm the big, abstract form in which they appear to pociologists. Unemployed men, at the lean end of a winter, are apt to look at small, even sordid details more keenly than at general principles. 2 . GRIEVANCES AGAIN ST HOW. gy O it was that Artist Knott and I, entering just as a business session of the Brother- heod got well under way, found the broth- civic about the West End window wash- one man could have got if the sec- advanced him carfare; the quality served in the 5-cent meals at the ‘the hardships of a nightly “flop” his hobo: proteges have two grievances: First, that he has given them anything; second, that he has-not given them more. They do not want charity, they assure the visitor, and this asser- tion is not contradicted by any acts of mendi- cancy—at least, no one tried to “touch” Knott or myself for the price of a drink, a meal or a bed. But, if they are to accept anotlier’s pro- vision for their welfare, they would like some- thing with some “class” to it. And “class,” as they and the rest of the public understand. the term, is conspicuously absent from the Walnut street headquarters and from the abandoned wagon factory on South Third street which is the meeting place of the Sunday gatherings. Twenty dollars covers the monthly rent of the two places. This is as much as tHe nickel-a-week dues of the 100 members, even if all paid, would(. amount to, and How pays most of it, as he pays most . of the other bills. But his beneficiaries sometimes feel that they are skimped, down to the last broken-backed chair and the last loaf of stale “punk,” and moments come when they think themselves no better off than they would be boiling their own coffee in the traditional tomata can beside the ties, and “mooching” meals at farmer’s back doors. But until they.can find an “angel” who will provide carpets and steam radiators, the hoboes will stick, more or less loyally to the: man who has warmed and fed them betimes and who has marshaled them into their unique organization and taught the public something of their life and their wants. SECRETARY GETS $1.25 WEEKLY. HERE is little of the care-free spirit of 7 hobodom about the pains which — the brotherhood has to take, through pitiful economies, to keep itself going until construction work for its members opens up in the spring. The office of secretary, which pays $1.25 a week, has been bitterly contested, and some of the hoboes have insisted that no man should hold the supposed sinecure longer than a month at a time. The 26-cent daily wage allowance to the proprietor of the lunch stand is not begrudged, but the members fee] that it gives them a claim on all the time and culinary ability of the red- haired Emil. Hofer. He acts as minehost at a free breakfast for all the members who come for it, at free lunches for the officers and at meals He. in How’s absence, presented these and other financial details to the 60 assembled hoboes after rolicall. This formality was impeded by the absence of the secretary’s minutes. A. C. Strat- ton, secretary for a.month past, had feared a victory by the anti-How insurrectos, and had tried to prevent the meeting by issuing an official call for one week later, when he expected How to be back. Stratton, without a secretary’s book or other official property, sat on the lunch counter. He is a Connecticut Yankee with a gentle, weazened face like one of Denman Thompson's characters. Physically perhaps the frailest man in the room, he hardly moved an eyelash behind his iron spectacles as the chairman talked scoldingly of his “ungentlemanly conduct,” and Walsh, the two-fisted acting secretary, skilled in subduing rebellious “hunkies” on raflroad sections, glared at him. Roll call. ofncetted with some. prompting, and there were explanations for most of the absen- tees. “He’s working” was the excuse made for the absence of M. D. Cook. When no response came to the name of William Reinhart, Grow re- marked to the acting secretary, “That’s all right. Brother Reinhart’s asleep over in the. corner. Don’t wake him.” M. W. Mooch was the sugges- tive name to which a third brother answered. The reception of new members followed roll call, and Grow read parts of the preamble and constitution. ‘“That’s a little flowery,” he com- mented as he went along, “but the ideas are worth while.” Evidently the candidates for membership thought they were worth while, for they listened as intently as football players listen for signals. And when they were told to hold up their hands and take the pledge of fraternity, there was pathos in the eagerness with which the roughly clad men gathered about the chairman’s table. I have seen less earnestness shown in the attitude of converts joining a church, or of men being initiated into high public office, than these job- less and half hopeless men displayed in the “I will” with which they accepted their new obliga- tions. AMUSED BY NEWSPAPER REPORTS. OLEMNITY cannot hold sway long in’ such a gathering, and in this case it was relaxed .’ when the acting secretary stumbled through the reading of a scrawl which proved to be a letter from James Eads How, dated, “General Delivery, Milwaukee.” There was not much to the letter except optimism about the Milwaukee convention and the general prospects of the cause, but the newspaper clippings he sent, which were also read, were good for one laugh after another. The brotherhood saw humor in the official de- hial by the convention that one of its delegates had taken part in a highway robbery at Fond du Lac while on his way to Milwaukee. The em- barrassment of the Milwaukee Socialist adminis- tration over the presence of the wayfarers also {amused the listeners, and the plans for a march on Washington, to start somewhere in Missouri, appealed to them ase first-rate joke. . \five or six times a Idec © Qbve Dow t S19. 4% ~tte, stare place swept out and the spittoons clean,” he wrote, “and since I took charge there have been no knock-down and drag-out fights. There were two the week before I started. I have done a lot of the work of the secretary, who only holds down his chair and runs*to the Iunch counter day. I wish to prefer charges”—— There the reading ended, as Grow smote the table, and declared that the $3 claim must be referred to the executive committee. “I wish to state for the executive committee,” he said a moment later, “that our lawyer’s bill of $45, for drawing up our incorporation papers, has been taken care of.” There was some raising of eyebrows, but no one asked a question, and Walsh, as acting busi- ness agent, rose to present his report, showing that 73 men had been put to work. at, Misceliqn- eus jobs, most of them temporary, ‘in the last few weeks.

NLY once did a policeman look in on the O meeting, and then not because he was needed, but merely because he chanced to be passing. Only one man, whom the chairman soothingly addressed as “Mr. Summers,” showed any pugnacious propensities, and he could find no one who wanted to fight with him. Grow, the chairman, an anti-Howite, took the result of-the balloting in none too kindly spirit. He is one of the few men in the company who objects to being classified as a hobo. He has had a medical and an engineering education, and his discourse in the chair was fluent and flawless. The other members say he is a nephew of the late Galusha A. Grow, who, they know in a gen- eral way, was famous in Pennsylvania and na- tional politics a generation ago. To me he seemed. the hardheaded, practical man of the gathering, but “King” Wilson, leader of the anti-How contingent, assured me that Grow, like How, was “Just a dreamer.” I had met Wilson the Sunday before at the brotherhood’s mass meeting in its so-called hall on South Third street. This room, low and un- lighted, and reached by a stairway that was little better than a ladder, held not less than 300 men that Sunday afternoon. Half of them had over- coats, perhaps one-fourth wore neckties. The first thing that surprises a visitor to the hobo gatherings is their orderliness. The chair- man that Sunday was an old man, whose chief hobby is the founding of a home’ for the aged, and the principal speaker’s address on “New Zealand” was as dgy as the Southern Hotel bar, a couple of blocks away. There was nothing to restrain the men present from any sort of a demonstration they might have wished to make. That number of college students, or shipping clerks, or’ politicians, with no more to interest them, would have been uncontrollable. But the brotherhood’s guests simply sat still and paid at- tention. WHEN CARRIGAN BEGAN TO TALK. ERHAPS they were quiet for the sake of P the loaves and fishes, if the coffee and stale bread which were to be served after the meeting could be called by 80 generous a name. More likely it was. because they knew that any interruption would delay them just so long in heartng B. J. Corrigan, whose harangue are the treat of the Sunday meetings. “Well,” said Corrigan’ in beginning, “I guess even with all the laws it: has, New Zealand has perfect. But I know more about hoboland, and I’m tired of reading about our friend Wilson, or anybody else, as the King of the Hoboes. If the hoboes ever had a king or a queen, I don’t know it. Every hobo’s a king. And there’s the cartoons, with the toma- to can always in them, but we must remember that the cartoonists have to make a living, so we've got no kick coming. “And there’s Brother How. Anybody who de- pended on him for a livelihood would «pretty I don’t know whether he has been trying to do good or to get 20torfety, but he has done good anyway. He has } given us a chance to show what the hobo is. f \ “Péople used to think tramps and hoboes were the same. Now they know that there are three kinds—the hobo, the tramp and the barrelhouse stiff. The hobo is on the road seeking work; the tramp is on the road trying to keep away from work; the barrelhouse stiff never ieaves a city till he’s kicked out, and then he goes on to the next city. ’ “You remember the 18th of February, 1905, when it was 18 below sero here, and the chief of police drove all the hoboes across the Dads ) bridge, only to have Chief Purdy, in East St. the streets of Philadelphia with a plece ota under one arm and some limburger under other.

Arizona’s inclusion in her new Constitution of the recall for application to judicial officers is regarded by Washington antiquarians in law as revolutionary, unrepublican and, to quote the Washington Post, as “subversive of the spirit of American institutions.” President Taft, we hear, will never consent to it. Senator Lodge is inex- pressibly shocked. Congiess is being urged to keep Arizona out in the cold, and it wouldn’t be surprising if troops were sent to Phoenix to coerce a little sense into the crude persons who conduct Arizona affairs. The “initiative and the referendum” which came out of Kansas just before the recall was born, are bad enough, heaven knows. But “seen too oft, familiar with their face,” most of us, in- cluding Senator Lodge, have come to pity and some to embrace. At least these twin things ure no longer too awful to contemplate. Nine states, including staid old Maine, have taken them in off the doorstep. But the recall] is not yet respect- able. It is popular only in a few cities and only with the unrecalled in them. Any State, however, could adopt it without danger of being kicked out of the Union and without much danger of being charged with assaulting our sacred insti- tutions. As a matter of fact the “recall” is merely an extreme step toward dominant democracy. It doesn’t influence government either ‘toward or away from the republican form guaranteed to each State by the Federal Constitution. It is no more a variation of government than that be- tween Massachusetts, which appoints judges, and Missouri, which elects them. But to Arizona it is sought to deny member- ship in the Union because its people have de cided in favor-of a plan which any State could adopt tomorrow if it chose. Like every other State Arizona will have to work out its own destiny within the prescribed limits and‘ nothing could be more absurd than to start it on its course by withholding the sovereign right, which every State possesses, to try experiments, no mat- ter how novél or foolish. ha Ae

Standard Of] and Joe Bailey are both for tort. mer. But then it is not the first time they have lined up together. MOTHERS WANT GOOD ROADS. The Good Roads Committee of the Mothers’ Congress is urging the passage of a bill for the improvement of Missouri highways, and presents some excellent reasons ‘for ecu: in this di- rection. The exodus to the cities, which is robbing the country districts of the State of the young men is also causing the young women to migrate. And one of the ills from which both are flying is the condition of the country roads. A few days ago a:farmer’s daughter was found wandering in Kansas City. On being questioned she said she had been seeking work for two days. She had feft a good home to come to the city, because “it was too lonesome out there; the roads were so bad we could®’t go anywhere.” If the farmét’s son has a grudge against bad roads, the farmer’s daughter is in a worse case. And visits to the large cities naturally result in comparisons regarding the difference in ability to get about, to the advantage of the city with

tits finished streets and boulevards, with the sav- ing of time, labor and worry. The mothers point out that it is of little use to provide good school houses, churches and other institutions that make country life pleas- ant and profitable, if the roads are so bad that for a large part of the year they are practically inaccessible. The social] side of country life can never compare with what the city offers, until the same means of communication are equal. It is because the Missouri mothers wish to make life better for their children that they have taken up this subject. The legislators will surely comply with their demands.

Llewellyn of Kansas made a special plea for the tramp, in the panic of 1893 when the army of the unemployed was swelled to an unprecedented degree. The page in last. Sunday’s Post-Dispatch, relating the exper- iences of Edwin’ A. Brown, a wealthy citizen of Denver who has studied the tramp problem by tramping all over the courtry for years, shows that many American cities still treat the wan- dering hobo and social wreck in the vile, medieval fashion, without any attempt to reform him. ‘Dayton, O., says Mr. Brown, dumps its unfortu-

| nates into an old police station so vile that it is famous. He might have said infamous. The City Lodging House at Washington, administered by the National Government, is shunned by every homeless man who has learned its reputation from his fellows. Philadelphia, {t is said, starves these already half starved members of the hu- man family. Refined and wealthy Boston treats hoboes with extreme roughness and brutality. And 8t. Louis lodges homeless men in the same manner as she does criminals. But there are signs of change. Toledo, O., un- der Mayor Brand Whitlock, is building a tramp station the object of which is the attempted permanent reform of even apparently hopeless men and women. Cleveland’s (Ohio) Chief of Po- lice, Fred Kohler, having followed the example of “Golden Rule Jones” in applying humane methods to lawbreakers and outcasts, has received an in- vitation to go to Los Angeles and inaugurate a similar system there. New York has a prison association, formed of prominent men and wom- en, which has been highly successful in the work of redemption. And the news comes that Home Secretary Churchill of England proposes a whole- sale reform in the prison system there, the in- tention being for the State to devote itself to the reclaiming of discharged prisoners, many of whom, under the present treatment, become tramps. There is a difference of opinion regarding the proportion of the floating unemployed population that is not industrially hopeless. But even in re- gard to the chronic tramp, the modern demand is for humane treatment. The development of pub-

| sress were not known to be progressive. dlngrace for any community to deal with any mas or woman in a brutal manner, President ‘Tat dado be to not in favor of reci- procity with all the world just now, as much light as he has seen having rather dazzled him for the instant. THE JONES CASE. The offer of Circuit Attorney Jones to stand aside and permit the appointment of a special prosecutor in the Garen case can not be regarded

recommendation of a nolle pros. and to order a special prosecution resides in Judge Taylor. The action of Mr. Jones merely simplifies the situa- tion. It clears the way for prémpt effective ‘ac- tion on the part of Judge Taylor or for the At- torney-General to take charge under the Gov- ernor’s orders. There is no objection to an investigation of his official conduct and of the record of his office by the Bar Association, which the Circuit Attorney invites. An investigation of that kind would be wholly voluntary and unofficial on the part of the association. It might or might not decide anything except the ethical character of the Cir- cult Attorney’s conduct. ‘It does not cover the necessities of the case from the standpoint of actual official wrongdoing, should any exist, If there is occasion for official interference in the prosecution of criminals or of investigation to determine whether or not there has been, wrongdoing of any kind fn the Circuit Attorney’s office Gov. Hadley cannot shift his official re- sponsibility as chief executive, to the shoulders of the Bar Association. He must take legal ac- tion. What is to be done in the Healy case which has been long delayed under extraordinary cir- cumstances? Why does not the Governor exer- cise his right to order the Attorney-General to take charge of the prosecution in that case? If Gov. Hadley believes the Circuit Attorney needs vindication or punishment there is only one effective and legal way to reach either conclusion —that is to act te the full extent of his powers under the law. A committee of lawyers without legal power or authority to investigate cannot satisfy the demands of the situation. A i 4 With Congressman Macon on the firing line, a

Stilwell, the Kansas C:ty financier, suggests in his new book, “Universal” Peace,” which is reviewed in the Sunday Post-Dispatch, that the United States might save many millions annually by paying three strong nations, say England, Germariy and Japan, $50,000060 apiece as a premium against war. The United States could then disarm, and in the event of a quarrel that threatened war, it would be the duty of the three nations named in the insurance contract to prevent an outbreak. If this were the doubtless be moral and would live up to the golden rule. trusted. Has Mr. Stilwell forgotten that Germany at- tempted to cripple France for all time to come, by imposing what seemed an overwhelming burden on her as a punishment for the war of 1871? Has he forgotten Great Britain’s treat- ment of the little Boer republic? Does he think Japan is to be trusted, any more than Germany or Great Britain in dealing with a nation which had weakened itself by complete disarmament? Is there a single nation or state—barring Switzer- land, perhaps—which today is in the control of men who are wise enough, strong enough and moral enough to be trusted in a contingency such as he imagines? That inimitable short story writer Frank R. Stockton wrote a book entitled “The Great War Syndicate,” picturing the successful protection of the United States and the disastrous defeat of her enemies by the clever work of a private syn- dicate, which invented and used various devices that made short work with the warships and transports of the opposing navy. It was highly fanciful and amusing. And that is what may be said of Mr. Stilwell’s proposition. We must have something better than international insurance contracts to abolish war.

role US - STRAIGHT YrROM THE BALLOT BOX. From the New York World. If the stand-patters in the United States Senate suffer from coereion, as they assert, it is not due te the President but to the people. Coercion is hardly the correct term to apply to orderly expressions of the public will, but they are likely to amount to that eventually in the cases of those who obstruct or disobey them. On a platform interpreted by him as promising a revision of the tariff downward, Mr. Taft was elected in 1908 by a plurality of 1,269,804. His majority over all was 469,374. In spite of the party pledge, the Congress elected with Mr. Taft revised the tariff. upward so far as the cost of living is concerned. The people’s response to this betrayal of their interests in 1910 was most emphatic. They re- tired 10 Republican Senators and 49 Republican Representatives. They gave control of the House to the Democrats and made it possible for the Democrats and progressive Republicans by coali- tion to contfol the Senate. This new Congress comes into existence on the 4th of March. If called in extra session by the President it may in less than a month be at work upon a measure untaxing food and clothing. It is believed to be eager for the task. When it is intimated that if the present Con- gress faile to act upon the reciprocity agreement with Canada, Mr. Taft will summon the new Congress at once, the coercion exerted upon the outgoing stand-patters proceeds not from the President but from the incoming representatives of the people. The pressure is not executive, it is popular. Mr. Taft is not chargeable with a threat. He is armed with something much more substantial—a fact. The prospect of an extra session would have no terrors for the stand-patters if the new Con- Sena- torial dignity which complains of coercion of. this

kind, proceeding straight from the napos boxes, will not wa ome much sympathy as @ concession, because the power to overrule his |: natural question is whether the country can con-.

THE UNFPASHIONABLE QUEUE. From the Shanghai National Review. A large number of Shanghai offictals, meréhants and others have now cut off their queues and every day the new fashion is coming more into popular favor. On Sunday, the 15th inst., there is to be a wholesale cutting off at Chang Su-ho’s Gardens, when the hirsute appendage of His Ez- cellency Wu Ting-fang, late Minister to Wash- ington, will first fall before the barber's shears. We are given to understand that many gentlemen are anticipating Hig Excellency. It is significant tc note that many of those who have discarded, or who contemplate discarding, this ancient badge state that they are actuated by motives of clean- liness and general convenience. Doubtless there ig some more potent influence at work, as indi- cated in the remarkable pronouncement recently emanating from the Nationa] Assembly, but at the same time the advent of this fashion—and it has already become fashionable—marks a great step forward in the economic progress of the peo- ple and towards hygienic methods. The queue is an unmitigated nuisanhee to all who wear it. It ia a source of accident to the person and a mena- ace to the health and comfort of all and sundry. And here we would remark that this matter af- fords another striking evidence of the change that is coming over China. Time was, and that withfa the last two years, when any reference to this subject amongst representative people in this country was ‘taboo, whilst today it is a subject of comprehensive discussion and, similarly to the vicious practices of opium-smoking and foot- binding, the wearing of a “pig-tail” is rapidly be- coming “bad form.”

HIGH SCHOOL FRATS. From the New York Evening Post. The powers that be in the Department of Edu- cation are moving toward the abolition of all Greek letter and other secret societies in the high schools. The Board of Superintendents is to re- quest the Board of Pducation to pass a rigid by- law prohibititig these societies, because they are considered undemocratic, because they encourage secrecy at a time when secrecy among adolescents is not desirable, and because they are a means to vicious habits and foreign to the spirit witrich should prevail in an American school. The recom- menéation has been pessed down by the super- intendents after a rigid investigation, and itn face of the fact that many principals are in faver of the fraternities.

This igs supertor to powder in many ways, easier to apply and dries quickly, giving the skin a smooth, satiny feeling. You can pre- pare this lotion at little expense, by dissolving four ounces of spurmax in a half-pint hot water, then adding two teaspoonfuls glycerine. Shake well; when cool it is réady. This makes the most reliable and satisfactory skin beautifier of which I know. You can get spurmax in any drug store. Phoebe M.: The reason your hair is stringy and hard to manage ig be- cause the roots are in a starved con- dition, I am giving you a recipe for an inexpensive hair tonic, which, if used regularly, according to simple directions, will correct this condition and promote a fine, healthy growth of hair.

Health and Beauty Notes| BY MRS. MAE MARTYN. Typist: Your increasing weight is no just cause for alarm, but if you fear your form is losing its sym- metrical lines, and want a fat dis- solvent I would suggest the follow- ing, which can be had “at any drug store and is not expensive: Dissolve four ounces parnotis in 1% pints hot water. Take a tablespoonful of this before each meal, and you will grad- ually regain your natural weight and contour of form. This parnotis treat- ment requires no violent exercise nor dieting and is really quite -tarmless. Eva: My dear girl! The downy growth on your lip is not so serious a matter, and I would not shun S8o- ciety on that account, were I you. You can easily remove the fuzz if you follow these gimple instructions: Get/ an ouhce of delatone, and mix enough water with a little to make a thick paste. Cover offending hairs deeply with this and let remain two-or three minutes, then remove and wash the skin carefully. Any druggist can supply delatone, and while it costs a dollar an ounce, it is worth it, as it does the work, and it is seldom neces- sary to apply it more than once. and in a healthy, vigorous con if you use a canthrox shampoo. can prepare this at trifling cost, and

Mise - Bates’ Stance. Collier in Title Role ‘Other Notable New Pro- ductions of the Week. By RIPLEY D. SAUNDERS. URN about is fair play. An opere T having been made from the play .\ entitied “The Girl of the Golden it,’ a play is now made from the era entitled “Thais,” and so the score bout balances in the kindred art worlds music and drama. “Gonsistently, too, just as Blanche Bates, thé dramatic star of “The Girl Lot the Golden West,’ was conspicuous- pie present at the operatic premiere of ! that offering, so was Mary Garden, the | operatio: star of ‘‘Thais,’’ present at the latter's dramatic premiere, applauding Constancé Collier with an enthusiasm equal, to that of Bianche Bates when / Emmy Destinn sang “‘The Girl’ role of playhouse creation. The dramatic premiere of ‘‘Thais’’ took place pal “the ‘Broad Street Theater in Phila- -, delphia last Monday evening and seems ‘to have developed into a genuine tri- -umpn. Miss Collier in the title role was ‘finely supported by Tyrone Power, Ar- -thur Forrest and a company number- ing 72 persons in all, with an orchestra of # instrumentalists interpreting Mas- ipenet’s operatic score as music inci- ‘dental to the play. The dramatic pro- ‘duction of “Thais”: is declared to have been on a massively beautiful scale, ‘earrying its first-night sudience back ‘to the Gays of the great Sardou speo- tacles and the Irving and Mansfield pic- torial presentations of fameus érama. ‘The leading players in the cast are/ \eredited with having scored brilliant triumphs, being repeatedly called te the footlights at the close of each act. ' Bo there you are—e “Thais” dramatic Roland for “The Girl's” operatic Oli- -ver. It te such happenings as these that particularily intensify the piquant in- terest of life im the mimie world. UITEH notable, toe. among the footlight events of the past week was the storming of Chi- by the admirable George Arliss in “Disraeli,” the new historical comedy by Louis N. Parker, presenting the most theatrically effective of all Brit- ish prime ministers as the central fig- ure of a stage story blending diplomacy with love’s young dream. I have already told you the main fea- tures of this story, revealing the late Queen Victoria's favorite Premier at thé great moment of his triumphant stroke of statecraft in the famous case of the Suez Canal, giving England her first secure foothold in the Bast, and aiso picturing Disraeli as the ‘‘fairy god- | her,”’ so to speak, of a certain young ouple In whose heart-interest romance he was deeply concerned. I must con- fess to the keenest curiosity and solici- tude regarding George Arliss’ fortunes in the title role of this play. It seems to me that, not only can he look the part of Disraeli to the life, but that he fs the one player above all others most eminently capable of realizing the char- atcer itself, suave, subtle, crafty, in- gratiating, ironic, with a fine sense of humor, vast native power, and an au- dacity comparable only to that of the great Napoleon himself. I shall be vaatiy disappointed if the Disrael of George Arliss’ playing doesn’t give that masterly artist the overwhelming tri- o umph of his entire career. 42> oe aoe GETS. -

Apparently, we are not as hos- tile to new English plays as are the English to new American plays, this lat- est British offering being hailed with great friendliness in the American me- tropolis.

GRACE GEORGE AND DELLA FOX STARS OF THE WEEK

Grace George, in “Sauce for the Goose,”’ a new comedy, by Geraldine Bénner, will begin a week’s engagement at the Garrick tomorrow evening. This clever and amusing play tells the story of a charming young wife who, finding herself shamefully neglected by her husband because he has become infatuated with the feminine leader of a “greater freedom for women’ cult, de- termines to serve him with the same sauce he has been dishing out to her. Wherefore she puts into effect in her own case that preachment of unre- stricted female liberty to which he had so ardently subscribed in the case of “the other woman,”’ seemingly enjoy- ing herself so hugely with other men that she makes him tremendously jeal- ous, brings matters to a “divorce crisis”’ in a fine comedy climax which vastly chagrins both her husband and his “greater freedom for women’”’ temptress, leading him to a sudden realization that it is his wife whom he loves best, after all, and so triumphs in -the hap- piest of ways. The play's dialogue is said to be refreshingly bright, ita fun clean and sparkling, and Miss George, as the young wife, has a part thor- oughly suited to her. She will be sup- ported by an excellent cast that in- cludes, among others, Herbert Percy, Frederick Perry, Keith Wakeman, E. D, Cromwell, Carolyn Kenyon and Lou- ise Everts. Next week, Bertha Kalich in Lang- don Mitchell’s adaptation of Jacob Gor- din’s powerful drama of East Side life in New York, “The Kreutzer Sonata.” Della Fox, whem S8t. Louis con- tributed to the stage, formerly known as the cutest prima donna in musical comedy and now a dramatio star, play- ing straight comedy roles, comes to the Century for the week opening tonight, appearing in “Delightful Dolly,” «a brilliant French success by Henri Mer- vant, now put into English and repeat- ing its Parisian triumphs. In the title role Miss Fox portrays a young woman who is grievously un- happy as the ward of an ancient maiden aunt, a very martinent of discipline, in- sisting that Dolly shall at all moments be the “prunes-and-prisms” model of de- corum demanded by spinister souls. It 1s in Delightful Dolly’ 8 rebellion against this tyrannical rule that the play’s story finds ita comedy complications, a well- defined and most diverting plot holding one’s interest to the fall of the last curtain. Although t the play is “straight Have YouTried the Latest Shampoo? (From Woman's National Journal) “Since dry shampooing has super- seded old-fashioned methods of wash- ing the head, there are many shampoo powders on the market, consisting of everything from orris root to compll-

The capacity audiences that have greeted Marie Dressler in ‘‘Tillie’s Nightmare” at the Shubert throughout the week just closed, and the undimin- ished demand for seats that still con- tinues, have decided the management to prolong the greatly successful engage- ment for another week. Miss Dressler in the role of Tillie Blobbs, the poor boarding house drudge, ts irresistibly funny, with an underlying vein of pa- thos, appealing to her audiences with the utmost magnetism. She is admir- ably supported by a big and capable company, and Lew Fields gives the play an elaborate production. Nex week, the sumptuous Shubert pro- ductioh of “The Merry Widow.”’ Montgomery and Stene, cleverest and mest popular of all musical comedians, in “The Old Town,” a brightly enter- taining and tuneful play, the book by George Ade, the score by Gustav Lu- ders, enter upon the second week of their Olympic engagement with tonight's performance. They are breaking all Olympic box office records and it is generally conceded that they have never before had as excellent a vehicle for the exploitation of their talents as in this offering, not even in “The Wisz- ard of Oz’ or “The Red Mill.” They are supported by a big company of ad- mirable quality, including Flossie Hope aa its soubrette and Allene Crater as ite leading comedy woman, with the Pony Ballet ameng its other attractive features. Next week, David Belasco’s big pro- duction of “The Lily,"’ a grippingly in- teresting drama, with Nahce O'Neil and Charies Cartright heading its strong company. ‘Brewster's Millions,”’ the delightful comedy of swift action and startling scenic effects, adapted from George Barr McCutcheon’s successful novel of the same title, will be the American’s offer- ing this week, opening with today’s mati- nee.

PAA, Fsb. 18.—Mrs. Whitney Warren’ of New York, when visiting recently the Paris Decorative Arts Museum, was surprised to see an eighteenth century necklace of bril- liants, valued at $6000, which she had lost, in a* case loaned the mu- seum by Mme. de Perdussin. Mrs. Warren brought suit for the necklace and the court has just or- dered Mme de Perdussin to return it.

Not as an authoress, And not in her professional capacity, I’m sure, although she is the most distinguished in her line of work in Her activity is confined to spotting a certain phase of moral ; Her Book is to be a series of detective stories, a narra- tive of her experiences as house detective in one although you may feel her presence or that of some of her fraternity—for every big store has ite women detectives—although her’ lynx-eyed surveillance may haunt you hereafter whenever you enter a shop, it is pretty certain that you don’t know her by sight and you will not unless you are capable of penetrating her numerous disguises. She wears a different type of costume every day. I had to do some detective work on my own behalf to discover her. I knew that mingling with the shoppers it would be her role to wear a hat. Waiting at the time clock as one after another the employes arrived and “rang in,” all had laid aside their hats and wraps save one—a. sad-faced wdman past middle age, dressed in black. She was mild, subdued, inconspicuous unless you had been searching for just what I found, a pair of unus- ually sharp, quick, glancing eyes. “Mrs. Phelan?” I asked. My confident salutation disarmed her denial. But she held up a warning finger. Furtively she searched the face of everyone within earshot. Then she beckoned, tiptoeing to a nearby seat, I following duly impressed with the mysterious- ness of the occasion. LUXURIES MOST OFTEN TAKEN. HRED times during our conversation did T she insist we move our seats to get out of hearing of bystanders who she felt were eavesdroppers. “My cases number six or eight a day in a yearly average and run up to 20 or ‘30 in the busy season. Why, there is so much crookedness and mystery all about that it be- comés monotonous,” proceeded Mrs. Phelan when we were secluded to her satisfaction, and

And then there are others who go into such hysterics, threaten to kill themselves and make such a scene that we are glad to get rid of them at any cost. “You’d think that 15 years’ experience in this one capacity would make me acquainted with all the various ways and wiles of shoplifters. But every day almost I meet some entirely new va- riety that upsets all my rules and precedents. So for the most part, I have to depend on a sort of sixth sense. I don’t known what else you'd call it. But I can just fee] it in the air that some- thing is wrong. I tnvestigate and nearly always my suspicions are well founded. I read a good many of these detective stories and if I only had the literary ability I could write some just as good and not go outside my own experience in this store for the material. I have kept note books and some day I am going to write my memoirs if only in my Own way.

The particular incident was at a holiday shopping time. A héad of the leather goods de- partment had a particularly good customer whom he wanted to favor. To avoid the crowd he’ led her to a seat in a seciuded corner of the basement and had an assortment of bags and suit cases sent down there for her to select some from.

I didn’t know what to make after the preliminaries of the interview had been disposed. of “IT have got a good many of them ciassified into groups of types that I can recognize according to a sort of system.

SAMPLE PACKAGE ON WINDOW SILL City Detectives, Assigned to Case, Find Small Cut in Pasteboard, Through Which Deadly Adulterant May Have Been Added. City Chemist Buckland reported last fight to Deputy Coroner Carriere that he had found enough arsenic to kill several men in a box of prepared oats, part of whose contents 9-year-old Ran- doiph Schneider ate six hours before he died in convulsions. Dr, Carriere told a Post-Dispatch re- porter that he would reopen the inquest into the boy's death this week. On in- complete evidence, a verdict of death by ptomaine poisoning was found by a Coroner's jury last Tuesday. : Buckland declined to state last night whether he had completed a quantitative analysis of the poison in the cereal, and said he would place his formal re- port in Dr.. Carriere’s hands tomorrow afternoon, Sample on Window. “The City Chemist told me,” said Dr. Carriere to a Post-Dispatch reporter; "that he had found arsenic in large quantities in the oats. I understand that a definite quantitative analysis wil! be made Monday. On the basis of the Verbal report, I asked Chief’ Smith to put detectives at work on the case im- mediate ly. " . D. ‘L.

The accident occurred near Hark- ness’ hangar on North Island... He had just left the ground on a flight to the aviation field in Cornado, when the gust struck the monoplane. Harkness was only a few feet above the ground. A peculiar feature of the accident was the fact that the propellor just before striking the ground, cut a rabbit in two.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19, (5:30 a. m.)— At this hour the House 4s still in session and a new filibuster started by oppo- nents of the French spoliation claims is under way. Congressman Mann, ‘of two days had led a filibuster tempt to prevent the passage of the omnibus claims bill, which, as it came from the senate, included a provision for the payment of the French claims. The Republicans were against the bill as it. stood and the filibuster led sin- gle-handed by Mann kept the House in session, until after midnight this morning. Then Mann introduced a motion strike out of the Senate bill all fol- lowing the enacting clause. This mo- tion was passed. It practically kills the Senate bill and makes a House bill of the measure- The Republicans were greatly pleased at Mann’s shrewd trick. Opponents of the French claims then began their filibuster. Many members were asleep in the cloakrooms as the long conflict of parliamentary devices was resumed. All day and establishing an alibi thattrequired 10} months of wo with a jail cell for his office.

It was Oct. 26, who said he was J. C. from D. J. H. Rice, 907 North Jeffer- son avenue, on a forged note and deed of trust to property in Mount Vernon, Ill., Mount Vernon is the home of. McGuire. Description Fits Him. Rice went to Mt. Vernon and learned that McGuire had left there in Septem- ber. Descriptions given him of Mc- Guire corresponded exactly with the man who had defrauded him under the name of Scott. April 1, 1910, McGuire was back in Mt. Vernon. Knowing in a general way of the charges that had been made against him he went to the prosecutor’s office to inquire. By coincidence Rice was also in Mt..Vernon to get a warrant for McGuire. They met at the prosecu> tor’s office and Rice, before anyone had pointed McGuire out to him, identified him as the one who had worked the swindle. McGuire was arrested, held eight’ days in Mt. Vernon, and. then brought o St. Louis. After leaving St. Louis on his wander- ings. McC. uire had been in various parts of Illinois, Iowa, Washington, Oregon, Montana and California. He would get work for a few days in some town and then travel on. While knocking about he went under the name of J. W. Kelly. Matled Cards to Relatives, A circumstance that aided McGuire in establishing this post card alibi was the fact that, while traveling aboug, he had mailed a number of ecards to a relative, J. W. Wells of Mt. Vernon. The post cargs he had sent to Wells fixed the dates at which he had been in Oregon and Washington and helped him trace his travels to Hamilton. Cal. McGuire's case had been called for trial and continued several times by Judge Hitchcock, before the court re- ceived a letter from the cashier of Sacramento Valley Sugar Co., Hamil- ton, Cal., together with pay checks which had been issued to and cashed by a J. W. Welly. The letter said that a J. W. Kelly, the time books of the compény showed, had been in its “employ from Oct. 19 to Noy. 19, 1909, as a labor foreman. The transaction that Rice had with Scott was Oct. 25, 1909. fe Photographs Identified. Attorney Walsh then had photo- graphs taken of his client, McGuire which were sent to the sugar plant at Hamilton for identification. They were identified at the plant as piec- tures of J. W. Kelly. Judge Hitchcock took the yesterday as a witness and told of his having received the pry checks and the letters from the cashier of the sugar plant while the case was before him. Rice and two of his emploves iden- tified McGuire at the trial as the mah whe had worked the swindle. It is the opinion of McGuire's attorney and others who became interested in the «case ‘that McGuire's supposedly strong resemblance to another man “veo has conducted extensive swin- dies of the nature of the. one with which MeGuire was charged, led Rice to identify him as the man who had defrauded him. REJECTED, SHOOTS WOMAN th a man Scott, got $300 TaNO a+ awVe, ae through the. evening the parliamentary proceedings ranged from acrimonious debate, with sharp colloquies, to what amounted to comic opera. vere There incessant motions, fre- quent roll calls, a search for a dozen members to produce a quorum, fiery speeches in which a warning finger was pointed to the next national election, jibes, buriesque and queries to the chair, Vocal solos, songs in chorus and funny stories furnished entertainment while the House waited”for absent members. Speaker Cannon was absent during the evening, and Mr. Olmstead of Pennsyl- vania, occupied the .chair. Vice-President Sherman, Speaker Can- non and several members arrived shortly after midnight. ™hey had been at the Gridiron Club banquet where several members weré arrested when the sergeant-at-arms was instructed to bring in absentees to make a quorum. Mann Leads the Fight, The fight, for its opponents resented its beirtg called a filibuster, was con- ducted: single-handed by Mr. Mann of Illinois, one of Speaker Cannon’ s chief lieutenants. While Messrs. Prince of Il- linois, chairman of the Claims Commit- tee and the Republican who reported the bill, and Sims of Tennessee, Clay- ton of Alabama, Carline of Virginia and other Democrats; solidly backed by their party, voted for the measure. The bill as it passed the Senate car- ried $2,352,941, including $842,689 for the French spoliation claims. But the Claims Committee reported ‘the bill to the House without the French spoila- tion features. It was the specter of these French spoliation claims which the Republican leaders feared would be tacked on to the bill in the final conference between the two houses at so late a day in the ses- that the House might act on the an- oppor- the French . sion, conference report without tunity to vote against claims separately. Democratic leaders conjured other mo- tives and the effort to force an extra session so as to embarrass the Demo- cratic party by plunging it into the throes of tariff revision before it had time to prepare for that, while the Republicans claimed that shutting out of the spoliation feature was the pur- pose of the filibuster. Mr. Mann denied that his tactics were dilitory or filibustering and reprimanded Democrats who absented themselves. at the previous night’s session. ‘Those,’ he said, ‘“‘were away at sup- per, drinking wihe, perhaps, having a good time aod not at their posts of duty.” — 140-MILE.

And there is no reason to doubt that, if twins had not been found to accept them. they. would, as they fervently assert, have remained unmarried until death, Ig.the 16 years that the agreement was kept the twin brothers paid dual court to four sets of twin sisters, thrice journeying distances to find girls who, in point of age and twinship, met the requirements. After three such court- ships had not matured beyond the in- cipient stage, the brothers settled down to wait for the Clark sisters, two lit- the twin girls of their own neighbor- hood, to grow up to marriageable age. Boys Leek Exactly Alike. Delmer and Dalton Johnson, so near, alike that only their parents could tell them apart, and even they had some- times to guess twice, and so insepara- ble that they had never been for more than a few moments out of each oth- er’s sight, were 16 years old when thé subject of the future and matrimonial probabilitics came up between them.

Gray admitted that he hadn’t. “That’s the way'it is in this town,” said the stranger. “They don’t know are alive.

So they grew to manhood, and by and by, such was their thrift, they were able to buy a W-acre farm adjoining their father’s. The deed provided that in the event of the, death of one title should pass to his brother. The boys were 20 when Tilman Clark moved with his family from Decatur County, Ind., to a farm a scant mile from the Johnson home. He had twin daughters, but they were only 7. Nev- ertheless, the Johnson twins took a twinly interest in the Clark twins. There was no thought then that the Clark twins would grow up to be the wiyes of the Johnson twins. For one thing, the Johnson twins were just then get- ting along right nicely in a double court- ship of the Keiter twins, Laura and Leora, at Cassville, nimey miles away. Still, when the Johnson boys were on their way to call on thé Keiter twins, and stopped’ a moment in front of the Clark home to talk to the Clark twins, hanging on the fence, and then drove on, it was Katn’s face, a little round- er than Lulu’s, that lingered longest in Delmer’s mind, while Dalton was thinking of Lulu. They Wouldn’t Tolerate Rivals, Delmer had a rivaj for Leora Keiter. The rival sent her a gold pen. Shé ac- cepted it. Delmer would not stand for that. He and Leora were quits. So were Dalton and Laura, Then the Johnson twins went courting the Curless twins, Ora and Osie, near West Liberty, 18 miles away. They could not that distance very often and between times another fellow called on Ora. She mentioned it when tht John- son twins came again and she and Dal- ton were quits. So were Delmer and Osie. For a long time the Johnson twins did no courting because there were no girl twins of courting age whom they could find. But when they went to Argos, 50 miles away, to attend a family reunion, they heard about the Boggs twins, Zena and Zita, and, accompanied by a mutual acquaintance, they made bold to call. It was a hurried call, just before train- time, but they asked Zena and Zita to correspond with them and the girls ante they woul Now the| Boggs twins did not look as much alike as twing usually do, and the Johnsons, being twins, should not have committed thé blunder of getting the Boggs twins mixed, but they did. On the way home they talked it over and agreed which should correspond with which. Dalton said he liked the little slim-faced one the best and Del- mier was sure he fancied the other one most. “The little slim-faced one Is Zita,’ said Dalton. ‘‘Yep,’’ said Delmer. But the little slim-faced one wasn't” Zita, and so it happened that from sum- mer time to Thanksgiving, Delmer was corresponding with the little slim-faced one that had been Dalton’s choice and Dalton was corresponding with Zena, who was Delmer’s choice. But when the Johnson twins called on the Boggs twins Thanksgiving day they got themselves sorted out and after that Dalton corresponded with Zita and Del- mer corresponded with Zena. Not that it made much difference, because the Jchnsons wrote alike as they did every- thing else alike. Cupid Couldn't Go 50 Mile But the correspondence waned. ri ifty miles was too far. Correspondence Was too unsatisfactory and railroad fare was too high, for the Johnson twins were thrifty. Beside, the Clark twins were developing into very pretty, whole- jscme girls, and they were only a mile away. So the correspondence with the Boggs twins was dropped and the Johnson twins began a discreet campaign to win the Clark twins, discreet because they were mindful that the discrepancy in ages might hinder. The Clark girls at- tended the Bethany church and Sunday- school and the Johneun twins began to take an interest in religion. They be- came regular attendasts at Bethany ehurch and divided Uieir attention re- ligiously between the sermons and Sun- day-school lessons on. the one hand and the Clark twins on the other. They ‘ai Run Down” Deseribes the condition of thousands of men and women who need only to urify and enrich their blood. They eel tired all the time.

They went to town and bought a postcard apiece. They were the folding sort, the finest to be had. Dalton picked for Lulu a pictured blue bird of impossible blue, and Delmer’s choice for Kata was a pictured pink flower of impossible pink. These they mailed to the Clark twins. The cards bore no identification *of the senders except the handwriting, and that was so muéh alike that no one except the Clark twins could tell which Johnson twin had sent which card. But the Clark twins, somehow, seemed to know. This bold stroke met with no re- puff, and the Johnson twins, encour- aged, sent other cards. Between times they dropped in at Tillman Clark’s to talk crops with the father of the Clark twins, and though nothing was said about the cards, they gathered the im- pression that all was well. Buy a Buggy for Wooing. The Johnsons were 30 years old- now, and the Clark girls were 17. The John- sons felt it was now or never. They went the limit. They bugey. but it was shifty. They did not know what minute a rival would come along in a buggy and win one of the girls away for to the country girl a boy and a buggy are irresistible. And on Sunday evening, dressed in their best, they drove over to Clark’s and tied the horse and went in and asked the girls if they wouldn’t like to go to meeting at Bethany Church, The girls said they wouldn’t mind, and they went (the buggy was built to carry four), and next day everybody within 10 miles of Bethany Church knew that the Johnson twins were courting the Clark twins. That was May 23, 1909, as elther Mrs. Dalton Johnson os Mrs. Delmer John- son will tell you, as they show you the blue bird -of impossible blue and the pink flower of impossible pink. It was every Sunday evening after that, and sometimes they gat in the cosy parlor, and other times they went Criving through the country lanes. Neither of the Johnson boys ever pro- posed, in just so many words, but by August there was a. pretty good un- derstanding, Delmer and Dalton went to town and bought two wedding rings, just alike. The next Sunday evening they all went riding in the buggy built for four. As they jogged along in the gloam- ing, Delmer drew two tiny boxes from his pocket. “We bought these for you, girls,” he said. He handed one to Dalton. Then Delmer placed one of the rings on Kata's finger and Dalton placed the other on Lulu’s finger. And that was how tne betrothal of the Johnson twins and the Clark twins was sealed. Brides Dressed Exactly Alike. .Tae twin brides were dressed exactly alike as they stood with their twin bridegrooms before the Rev. Freeland A. Hall of the Greentown Methodist Church in the parlor of the Clark home. last Tuesday night. The bridegrooms were dressed exactly alike, except in one small detail and that was a cause of distress of mind to both. Their shoes did not exactly match. “We could not get them exactly al-ke,’’ said Delmer afterwards as he ruefully exterfded his foot. ‘“‘There were not two pairs exactly alike at the store. We hated it, but we got them as near alike as we could.”’ Dalton extended his foot and nobody but the twies could tell that there was a difference. “And if you had not found twins. to bought a new, It wasn't a thirfty thing to do, | Stearns’ Electrie Rat=*Roach Paste Paste to exterminate rats, mice, cock- roaches, waterbugs, etc. Ready for use.

TOLD STORIES OF CHIEFS Sitting Bull His Grandfather and Rain-in-the-Face Relative, He Said. dark and tricks Strongheart, For ways that are that are vain James W. an educated full-blood Sioux, was too peculiar for W. C. Fritschle of Valley Park, the latter alleges. Strongheart was lodged in the city jail yesterday on a charge of defrauding Fritschle of $150. The Indian became acquainted with J. T. Fritschle, son of the complainant and a traveling man assigned to Okla- homa, through the salesman’s interest in Indian folklore and legend. One day the young man confessed to Strongheart his admiration for Sitting Bull. “Sitting Bull was my grandfather,” declared the Sioux, grandly. ‘‘My moth- er, Juanita, was his daughter.” Kin te Rain-in-the-Face, Too, Fritschle was awed. Seeing the effect he had made, Strongheart drew himself erect and exclaimed: “My father’s uncle was Rain-in-the- Face. “The great prophet, Blackbird, pre- dicted before my birth that I would be the savior of my people,” was the In- dian’s climax. Fritschle invited Strongheart to ac- company him on a visit to his home. The scion of chiefs remained three days in Valley Park and delighted his hosts. He relatied heroic epics of Sit- ting Bull, Gen. Custer and Rain-in-the- Face. But on the day of his departure, last October, he broached the subject of a loan—‘‘a little matter of $150’’—to the elder oe he says. xets Money, Marries Fritechia hesitated for a smasheht and Strongheart said: “T have told you that I am an agent, for the Department of the Interior. I expected to get my salary in St. Louis, but it has not been forwarded. It is waiting for me in Oklahoma. I shall re- fund the money as soon as I get home.” This plea won the loan, but instead of traveling south from §8t. Louis, the | Sioux went north, according to the authorities.

CHILDREN’S MASK BALL’ IS SUCCESS Newlyweds Are Feature of Fan- tastically Robed As- semblage. The Misses Griesedieck, in crimson and yellow hobble skirts, wearing wide black velvet hats and veils, were among the most conspicuous figures at the an- nual children’s mask ball at the Union ‘Club last night. The Newlyweds, dressed like the Post-Dispatch comic supplement characters, followed them about. They were Alvin and Edward Griesedieck and James Hetzel.

Mrs. "Delmer John- son accompanied Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Fulwiler to their home and awaited her bridegroom there. The twin bridegrooms drove into town together, disposed of their vehicle and slipped through the dark streets to the trysts with their twin wives. Delmer went with Dalton as far as the parsonage gate. “Good night,” said Delmer, as he started away. “Good night,” said Dalton as he turned toward the light that streamed from &. window of the parso: ‘It was the first time in th hel ives that the Johnson twins had Oneida Reservation in Wisconsin, where “Then we never would have married,” LAND NCE MEN INDICTED ND GIVE BOND Clayton Residents Accused by U. S. Inspectors of Fraud Held by Grand Jury. HAD. A FRUIT. SCHEME The Land Advertised Found Condition Other Than It Was Advertised. John Moore and George A. Currier, president and vice-president, respec- tively, of the Gregmore Orchard Co., have given bonds to appear in the United States district court during the May term to answer indictments charging the use of mails to defraud. Both men live at Clayton but do business in St. Louis. Moore, is southwestern agent of the General Fire Extinguisher Co. and the Grin- Sensitive Automatic Sprinkler Currier was formerly connected the Baffin Bay Beach Improve- Co. and thw Rock Island Pacific Improvement Co, They were indicted on January 27, but the action of the grand jury did not become known until Moore offered bond yesterday . Offices Raided. Their indictment followed a raid upon the handsomely appointed offices of the Gregmore Orchard Co, in the Frisco Building on Dec. 21. Vice-Presiden? Currier was seated at his desk when Deputy. Marshal E. E. Whitworth and Postoffice Inspector J. S. Swenson ap- peared with a warrant issued by United States Commissioner Atkins. Marshal Whitworth placed Currier under arrest, while Swenson scooped up books and lit- erature of the concern which were used as evidence before the grand jury. Complaints reached the postoffice in- spectors through William E. Whittle- man, 114 East *Salu street, Upper AIl- ton, Ill.y who alleged he had been vic- timized. The grand jurors, in returning the indictment, specified the testimony of Whittleman and others unknown to the jurors as a basis for the charge. Fraud Is Charged. The indictment: alleges The obtaining of money falsely and by misrepresenta- tion, It is alleged that Moore and Currier, officers and principal stockholders, is- sued pamphlets declaring the company, @ corporation, owned 1600 acres of ground in Howell County, Mo. This tract, it was claimed, was divided into five-acre tracts for orchard purposes, at 700 an acre. It was further alleged that the company was clearing, plow- ing and planting the best commercial fruit trees and caring for their propa- gation under scientific methods. The claim was made that the com- pany would market the fruit for six years for the purchasers, and in the meantime a clubhouse was being erect- ed on the grounds for the benefit of the company’s customers. A canning fac-| tory, cider mill and fruit drier were other adjuncts of the vast tract, all of which were in course of construction and to be used for the benefit of cli- ents. Ali the claims of the promoters are alleged by the Government men to have been false. The postoffice in- spectors declared the company did not own the Howell County tract; that it was mortgaged to the extent of $25,000, which was more than the property was worth: They declared the place was not being‘ plowed or prepared for fruit trees as was al- leged, and that the $5000 clubhouse was a myth. Both Give Bonds. After his arrest Currier gave bond for $2000. John H. Vette went his surety. Claude E. Vrooman, a real estate man, signed Moore’s bond. In- spector Swenson told a Post-Dispatch reporter that the company had re- ceived about $6000 from the sale of Orchard lands according to the books of of the ¢ concern, Woman Tells Story of Intense Suffering At ‘the age of about 40 years I was attacked with hemorrhage of the kid- neys or bladder which continued for several years without a check. lL finally took advantage of your gener- ous offer and procured a sample bot- tle of Swamp-Root.

But the hopes of tne little girl have been shattered by the death of her mother, Mrs. Mary Jenkins, who suc- cumbed Friday afternoon in East St. Lcuis to pneumonia after she had come from Vincennes, Ind., to nurse her daughjer back to health. The mother was taken ill with the same disease two weeks ago. The Jenkinses were married Dee. 12, 1898, and five years later separated be- cause of family discord. The child from that. time had two homes; one at- Vin- cennes,. where the mother lived with relatives, the other with her father at 1714 Hall street, East St. Louis. She spent the winters with her father and attended the Monroe School. Two years ago the wife obtained a divorce in Vin- cennes, but Esther continued her visits back and forth. Two weeks ago the child contracted pneumonia and the mother, forgetting the differences with her husband, came to East St. Louis to nurse her. She becanie illl three days later. Old troubles were forgotten and in the hope of early recovery the wife planned to re- marry her former husband and reunite their home. Mrs. Jenkins’ body was taken to Vin- cennes, Ind., for burial yesterday. Be- cause of the continued illness of the child the husband was. ohliged to re- main in East St. Louis and leave the funeral arrangements to his former wife’s relatives.

St. Valentine, four days behind time, but still cheerful, was the ruling spirit, strong in fun, at the annual costume dinner of the Artists’ Guild in its club- rooms on Union-boulevard last night. Everything was delightfully Bohemian. There was no printed program. With the effect of gentus-insptred impulsive- ness, the diners in turn contributed their quota to the evening’s entertain- ment. .

Mrs. Florence Wyman Richardson was a suffragette; Mrs. C. R. Meston, little Miss Muffett, and. Mrs. K. E. Cherry, a colonial dame. ‘ George S. Johns impersonated St. Val- @ntine.. There was a decided thrill when he called a messenger to deliver the poetic message to the guests. " Cupid Ready for Task. Manifestly no one but Cupid could perform this delicate task. And Cupid was ready. At the word, the god of love rushed into the dining room, clad in flesh- colored tights. The guests started, then gasped. And with reason, for the Cupid was Annette Kellermann, cham- pion swimstress of the world. Miss Kellermann make a quick circuit ‘of the table, and retired from the ban- quet room, after delivering the messages. Clark McAdams, disguised as Diog- enes, was accused of writing the vai- entines, but he announced that he would rot plead guilty except on the assur- ance that he would be paroled.

Chairman Russell of House Committee and Council- man Schutz Agree on Im- médiate Introduction and Consideration of Measure Reducing Current Charge. UNION COMPANY TO RESIST REDUCTION President Miller Says Contest Will Be Made in Court Against Enforcement of Any Measure Cutting Pres- ent 12-Cent Scale. An effort will be made to pass dur- ing the present session of the Munici- ‘pal Assembly, ending March 31, an or- dinance recommended by the Public Gervice Commission in its report on the Union Electric Light and Power Co., by which the rate charged for electricity per kilowatt hour will be lowered from @n average of 12 cents to 9% cents, and the meter deposit abolished. Chairman Russell of the House com- mittee appointed to consider the report, which was submitted Friday night, said yesterday that he would call a public meeting this week, probably Friday, for expressions of opinion about the bill. The bill. was drawn by the commission and submitted in the printed pamphlet with the report. Russell said he favored prompt ac- tion on the measure, and Councilman Schutz, a leader in that branch of the Assembly, expressed the same senti- ment. Delegate Igoe, a member of the House committee, agreed with them.

Miller, gen- eral manager of Union Electric, said a contest would be made, in the Assembly and in the courts, against lowering the rates. Diseyssion at the City Hall indicated that the provisions for lowering the rate by @xing a maximum charge of 9% cents per kilowatt hour, would be fa- - -yored by a majority, both in the House} and Council. This rate, it is estimated, will gave more than half.the customers of the corporation from 4% to 20 per cent oftheir bills. “In 1909 the Union Electric had 21,966 customers, of whom 12,000 paid from 10 to 12 cents per kilowatt hour for the service. In the case of those paying the maximum rate of 9% cents, the com- mission recommends that a minimum monthly charge of 50 vents be fixed, and for other consumers $1 a month. _ At present the lowest monthly mini- @mum is $1 a month. ae Franchise Not Figured.

HE enabling act, conferring power upon St. Louis to reg- ulate the rates and services of public service corporations, was introduced in the Legisla- ture, at the suggestion of the Post-Dispatch, in 1907. The bill was defeated by the public service corporation lobby at the regular session, but Gov. Folk, at the request of the Post- Dispatch, called a special session, which passed the bill. During the months of May, June, July and August, 1907, the Post-Dispatch published a daily series of articles revealing exorbi- tant and discriminating rates charged by Union Electric.

An agreement to disagree drawn up be- tween Mrs. Dora Carner and her hus- band, Joseph Carner, more than a year ago, when the husband gave his wife the equivalent of $500 for his freedom, was set aside by Judge Millard in the East St. Louis City Court yesterday when Mrs. Carner won her suit for sep- arate maintenance. Carner was ordered to pay his wife = -——— $50 for attorney fees and $25 a month alimony... Mrs. Carner also got the custody of her son, Morris, 2 years old. Carner took an appeal. The Carners were married April 14, 1908, and lived together until ,the separ- ation agreement was drawn up Dec. 2, 1909, Judge Millard held that the agreement could be in force only so long as the parties concerned were willing to keep it. Mrs. Carner resided with her pa- rents, Mr. and Mrs. Isadore Handels, at if St. Clair avenue. Carner is a horse trader, and, according to his wife’s pe- tition, has an income of $250 a month. SUNDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 19, 1911: STABBING WILL PREVENT REUNION AFTER SIX YEARS Stevens, Cut by Drunken Cus- tomer in His Saloon, Ex- pected to Die. IN TURKEY HIS FAMILY Preparations for Them to Join Him in St. Louis Were Being Made. children in come to A wife and her two Turkey, getting America to join the husband and father in St. Louis, will get word if a -few weeks that will end-all their preparations. James Stevens. fatally stabbed yesterday in a saloon at 200 Sidney street, had written only a few days ago to his wife and children in Turkey to begin getting ready for the voyage to America. It was six years since he left them. promising to send for them as soon as he had money enoygh. All those years they waited for the word to come. But Stevens found more diffi-, culties in America than he expected, and, it was not until he became a partner in the saloon that he could get money enough together to send for his family. Stevens, who is 35 years old, was behind his bar yesterday morning when John Ruddy, an iron molder; 50 years old, of 164 Sidney street, en- tered and asked for a glass of beer. After he drank it he said he had no money. Stevens told him that was all right. A little later, Ruddy, who was drunk, came back and asked for an- othe drink. “You've had ready to L enough,” answered Stevens. They argued the matter across the bar for a few minutes, and Ruddy went to the door. There he turned around and said to Stevens: “Come. here. I've got something to show you.’ “Stevens walked over, ands Ruddy stabbed him in the groin with a long- bladed pocket knife. Ruddy ran out and Stevens, bleeding 4nd weak, sat in a chair alone for nearly half an hour before someone went in and saw him and telephoned the police. Stevens was taken to the city hospital, ‘where it was said last night he could not recover. He is a Greek native of Turkey. ; Ruddy was arrested at his home. He refused to make a statement.

if It Investigates Prosecutor’s Of- fice It Cannot Swear TS PRESIDENT: EXPLAINS c ganization Has No Power to _%% Compel Witnesses to Tell Fi What They Know. Clifford B. Allen, president of the St. Louis Bar Association, said last wwevening that if Circuit Attorney Jones were to ask an investigation of his conduct in the Garen embezzle- ment case the association’s commit- tee would have no authority to swear witnesses, to compel their attendance nor to compel them to answer ques- tions. “T will take no cognizance of Mr. Jones’ published statement at Jef- ferson City, in which he said he would ask the Bar Asapciation to investigate his office,” Allen said. “If he is a member of the association, he can make such a request formally. If he is not, some member must offer a resolution looking to it. The resolu- tion may either name a committee or may empower me to name one, If this is done, a committee will be ap- pointed, of course. But it cannot go back of whatever unsworn state- ments the witnesses choose to make 20" Major Cannot Act, Avegislators and officials at Jeffer- gon City, according to press dis- patches, commenting on Jones’ state- ment after his conference with Gov. Hadley, pointed out that by putting the matter into the hands of the Bar Association he would take it out of; the hands of Attorney General Major, a Democrat. Jones and Gov. Hadley are Republicans. The case against William Garen, charged with embezzling $27,000 from the St. Louis Theater Co., will come up in Judge Taylor’s court tomorrow. The theater company is owner of Hav- lin’s, of which Garen formerly was manager. The case was docketed after Garen had pleaded guilty, and Jones had recommended a parole, ex- plaining that the theater company did not wish to prosecute. Jeptha D. Howe, Jones’’ brother-in-law, is at- torney for the company. Jones stated that Garen has returned $14,- 600 of the stolen money to the com- pany. When Judge Taylor questioned Garen, the former manager said that he understood he wag to be set free in return for restoring part of the money. Judge Taylor then declined to parole him, and Rozier Meigs, his lawyer, withdrew the plea of guilty. Jones said at that time that he would nolle pros. the case the fol- lowing Tuesday, but decided to wait until the day it came up regularly— tomorrow. The case came to the‘at- tention of Major and Hadley, and Judge Taylor and Jones went to Jef- ferson City to explain it to the Gov- ernor. It wag in consequence of this that Jones issued his statement ask- ing for investigation of him and Howe by the Bar Association, and agreed to stand aside and let Judge Taylor appoint a special prosecutor. Meigs said yesterday that he would ask for a change of venue for Garen, because the widespread publications about the case and Jones’ attitude had caused such public prejudice that e ewhis client could not get a fair trial.

THIRD BRADFORD WIL SUT IS FOR $300,000 ESTATE queathed by Bachelor to Bap- tist. Orphans’ Home. CHARITY IS REMEMBERED First Action ‘of Three in Family in Decade Was to Get Money Left. to Methodists. will of Frank E. Bradford, bequeath- Ing the bulk of a $300,000 estate to the Baptist Orphans’ Home, is the. third of this nature in the Bradford family with- in a decade. Thé first was that to ford, uncle of Frank and of Mrs. Car- oljne Bradford Ryan, who is suing in this case. Oddly enough, Dr. Bradford left four- fifths of his $500,000 estate to charity— the St. Louis Methodist Orphans’ Home; and the charges set up to break his will were. the same as in this—mental inca- pacity and undue influence on the part of the administrator. Mrs. Ryan, the plaintiff in this case, succeeded in breaking her mother’s will, which left a large part of an estate, estimated at $700,000, to charity. She charged undue influence on the part of Howard A. Blossom, trustee of the es- tage. . Children as Defendants. Mrs. Ryan, who lives at 4121A McPher- son avenue, would not be seen last ‘evening. Two of her children, Alfred G. Ryan and Mrs. Emelie Von Becken- dorf, are plaintiffs with her in the suit. Two others, John Bradford and Mary Frances Ryan, are minors, and, as it was necessary to involve them in the proceedings, they are named as defen- dants to it. Mrs. Ryan was. Brdatord’s only living sister, and will inherit all hig estate if she breaks the will, Under it, she will receive only the fete from prop- erty at Eighth and PfRe ‘streets; left. by her mother, oné-half of which she now owns. | The bulk of the eState is to go to the Baptist Orphans’ Home, with Alanson D. Brown, James S$. McClellan and Rob- ert E. Rutledge a& trustees. Rutledge also is administrator. These men are named as defendants, with Misses Mary and Julla Schofield of 6121 Berlin ave- nue, to each of Whom Bradford left $1000, and Hugh Gf Baker, a @ cousin, heir to $2500. Filed on Death Anniversary: . Bradford lived at the Schofield home when it was on Lindell boule- vard near Vendeventer avenue. He was a bachelor and was 54 years old when he died Feb. 18, 1909. The suit to break his will was filed on the second anniversary of his death. Mrs. Ryan charges that her brother suffered from a malady which affected his mind, and that Rutledge unduly influenced him. “As to the charge of undue in- fluence,” Rutledge said last evening, “the merit of that will appear from the fact that I am Presbyterian and would haye influenced Mr. Bradford to leave the money to a Presbyterian instead of a Baptist institution had I influenced him at all He was a member of the Third Baptist Church. “Mr. Bradford had a desk in my office, and my brother, T. G. Rut- ledge, a lawyer, drew up the will at his request. We were friends, but I did not influence him about the will. As to his santiy,.1.will say that he was fully rational.” TAMMANY READY TO QUIT SHEEHAN FIGHT Three Rumors Say Senatorial Candidate Has Been Told He Cannot Win. ‘NEW YORK, Feb. 18.—Three re- ports that William F.

The first report had it that Charles Murphy, tired of a hopeless fight, had given ten days to the ‘men he has supported for seven weeks, in which to win or quit.

SCOLDS BOTH Says Woman of 43 Should Not Have Married a Man 3; Judge Muench dispensed -censures with an even hand yesterday evening upon William R. Schildener, 23 years old, and his wife, Grace Schildener, 43, who were suing one another for divorce. He denounced Schildener as a coward and a teller of untruths; and accused him of concocting a con- spiracy to get rid of his wife by hav- ing her thrown in jail. ished Mrs. Schildener that she “should have had more sense” than to marry a man young enough to be} her son; commented on the fact that‘ Sehildener was her. fifth husband, and upbraided her for attending dance halls “at her age.” However, in the belief that “no good can come to the public in main- taining this union,” Judge Muench said, he granted a divorce to Mrs. Schildener on her cross-bill. Of her five husbands, she has di- vorced three. One died and the other, Policeman John Scollard, killed him- self the day after they were married. Mother Is Wealthy. She is the daughter of Mrs. Grace Scully, 2842 Arlington avenue, a wealthy widow. Schildener testified that in August, 1910, he surprised his wife with another man, in Tueson, Ariz. He caused her arrest, but did not prosecute, he said. She replied, in her cross-bill, that Schildener deserted her and that she followed him to Tucson; that she went to visit him at his boarding house and that he, asked her to wait for him in the room of Rupert Sager. Then he burst into the room with his brother, Charles, she declared, caused her arrest and left her in: Tucson to get out of jail however she could. Judge Gives Opinion, ; “TI don’t belleve Schildener’s. testi- mony,” exclaimed Judge Muench, while Schildener flushed deeply. “His wife’s being caught with Sager was the result of a deliberate scheme on the part of Schildener. cated by the fact that he did not show instant resentment, as most men of his temperament would have done. Instead, he ran to get aid from his brother in thrashing Sager., “After this he had his wife thrown into jail and then, Hike a coward, abandoned the field, leaving her in jail to get out of the difficulty as, eee CATARRH OF THE STOMACH A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Effectual Cure for It. Catarrh -of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to in-' curable. The usual symptoms are 4. full or bloated sensation after eating, accompanied sometimes with:sour or watery risings, a formation of gases, ‘|causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breathing, . head- aches, fickle appetite, nervousness and a general played out, languid feeling, There is often a foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue, and if the in- terior of the stomach could be seen it would show a slimy, inflamed con-' dition. : The cure for this common and ob- stinate trouble ig found in a treat- ment which causes the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surface of the stom- ach. To secure a prompt and healthy digestion is«the one neces- sary thing to do, and when normal digestion is secured the catarrhal con- dition will have disappeared. According to Dr. Harlanson, the safest and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet, composed of Diastase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name. of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and not being a patent medicine .can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough diges- tion: will follow their regular use after meals. The plan of dieting is simply. an- other name for starvation, and the} use of prepared foods and new fan- gled breakfast foods simply makes matters. worse as any dyspeptic who has tried them knows. As Dr. Bennett says, the only rea- son I can imagine why Stuart’s Dys- pepsia Tablets are not universally used by everybody who is troubled in any way with poor digestion is be- cause many people seem to think that because a medicine ig advertised or is sold in drug stores or is protected by a trade mark it must be a hum- bug, whereas, as a matter of truth, any druggist. who is observant knows j that Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets have cured more people of catarrh of the stomach, indigestion, heartburn, heart trouble, nervoug prostration' and run down condition generally. than all the patent medicines and doctors’ p#e- scriptions for stomach trouble com- bined. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest preparation as well as the sim- plest and most convenient remedy for any form of indigestion, catarrh of stomach, the biliousness, sour stom- cb, heartburn and bloating after meals.

This in itself was a great indignity to her. “Thig*divorce guit is only the nat- ural result of such a marriage. Schildener married a person old enough to bé his mother. She will be an old woman before he is ma- ture. When he came to his senses & well-devised plan of getting rid of his bargain was concocted. “Ag to the defendant, she has done things that are tactless. One was going around to dance halls. It is not an inspiring sight to see a woman of her age going to such places. An- other was in marrying a man so much younger than she. She should have had more sense.

WOMEN INSLEEP Frederick + Duggan’s Sleep Remarks Lead to Di- vorce Suit. Frederick Duggan, architect, was a most affectionate husband, but his af- fection was not circumscribed by the Walls of his home, his wife complains in » her sult for divorce, filed yesterday. Mrs. Annie Louise wvuggan, the wife, is living now at 5288A Page boulevard. “Fred always called me ‘Hun,’” she told a Post-Dispatch reporter last even- ing. “It waa. Hun this and Hun that, until I became suspicious. One time I found that he had bought $35 worth of '¢arnations. He hadn't sent me any " @arnations. And one night he woke me by calling out In his sleep, ‘Oh, Blanche, ~ Blanche!’ I quoted to him the next morn- ing that saying, ‘If you dream of me, | ‘don’t mention my name.’ “And then one afternoon I reached into his pocket for a handkerchief. When I puiled it out, I found a letter and a photograph. : “‘My dear Ralph,’ the letter said, *have you forgotten your own little gif! in Belleville?’ “When I asked Fred about that he said a friend of his named Ralph had Slipped the letter and photograph into his pocket as a joke. But after his dream and the carnations, I hardly be- lieved that. “He had a habit of disappearing. He would be gone two or three days and then he would call me up and ask me if he might come home. And I loved him so much that I would let him. “He had a way of loafing at a saloon and restaurant on Washington avenue. I thought he drank there with women, and I followed him once, but I found him sitting at a table alone, and he made me go home with him.’’ Mrs. Diggan Was married eight years ago, when she was 19. Her husband makes a specialty of buildings for mov- ing picture shows. She says he has - been living, since their separation, at 3661 Botanical avenue. ‘i Cures Piles Quickly at Home Don’t Be a Helpless Weakling From Piles, When Such §Sure Relief Is To Bo Had So Easily.

FEBRUARY 19, .191t SIX-MONTHS BRIDE WHO KEPT SECRET CUPID REFEREES SURE-THING BET: BACHELOR LOSES Dentist Wagers Friend, Secretly Married, That He Will Wed First. Dr. Arthur H. Winkelmeyer, as- sistant to the chair of operative den- tistry at Barnes University, chuckled silently when he bet $5 he would be married four months sooner than his colleague, Dr. T. G. Donnell. Dr. Donnell accepted the wager, in such cocksureness that he offered to raise the stake to $50. Dr. Winkelmeyer was believed to be a confirmed bachelor by Dr. Don- nell, who at one time had offices with him. On the other hand, Dr. Donnell, while mending the teeth of Miss Mabel Talbot of 3652 Cleveland avenue was damaging her heart. As a preliminary to the collection of the bet, Dr. Donnell permitted the announcement of his engagement to Miss Talbot to be made Friday. His astonishment may be imagined when he learned that Dr. Winkelmeyer had been secretly married for almost five months before the wager was made. “I don’t expect to collect that $5 from Dr. Donnell,” said Dr. Winkel- meyer yesterday. “Anyhow, the joke is worth the money.” Dr. Winkelmeyer eloped last June to Carlinville, Ill, with Miss Bertie M. Head, daughter of his landlady, Mrs. Keller Head, 3154 Shenandoah avenue, and was married by a justice of the peace. An elopement was de- termined on, not because of any ob- jection from Miss Head’s parents, but because of the young couple’s love of romance, They are living at the Shenandoah avenue address until the completion of a flat which is build- ing for them.

Referring.to Congressman Patrick F. Gill as “Paddy” started something at the Gill-Catlin contest hearing. Saturday, in the Security Building. Attorney C. A.. Newton, represent- ing Theron Catlin, thus alluded to his opponent and in a.-moment Attor- ney Peter A. Barrett entered a vio- lent protest. He told Attorney New- ton that men had been’ knocked down by _ Irishmen for being ad- dressed that way, and, with much feeling, he asserted: ‘‘No Irishman bearing the honored name of Patrick likes to be referred to as ‘Paddy.’” Much attention was paid to the fi- nancial condition of Gill after the campaign. Several witnesses were asked about it. John McCarty, a pre- cinct committeeman of 4609 Easton avenue, was asked if Gill went broke on the campaign. He said he heard that Gil] was “broke” after the elec- tion, but didn’t know that he spent all his money on the campaign. The Saloon in Politics. A litle inside information about local politics and its relation to the saloon business was given by John A. Finckler, saloon keeper, 4556 Easton avenue.

LOUIS CAPITOL ADVOCATES MUST WIN IN THE HOUSE} They Plan to Oppose Senate Bill Submitting Bond Issue for Old Site to People. WALLS SAID TO BE: SOUND Experts Decide $50,000 Will Repair Damaged Structure for Temporary Occupancy. From a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch, JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 18.— Advocates of removal of the capital to st. Louis plan to oppose, in the House of Representatives, the bill in- -troduced by Senator Allee to submit the question of issuance of $3,000,000 of bonds for a new capitol in Jef- ferson City to the people at a special election. William H. Davies, an attorney representing the Capital Removal Committee of St. Louis, appeared be- fore the House Committee on Consti- tutional Amendments and Permanent Seat of Government, and submitted arguments in favor of St. Louis. Advocates of the removal realize that unless the Allee bill is held up in the Housé, they have little oppor- tunity to advance the interests of St. Louis. Would Give People Chance. The Alle bill was reported favor- ably by the Senate Committee, Fri- day, and will come up for engross- ment in the Senate next week. It j will be opposed on the floor, probably j by Senator Wilson of Platte-County, who, while not committed to St. Louis as the site for the new capitol, be- lieves the matter should be submitted to the people to give them an oppor- tunity to say where they want the capital. The commission of experts which oxamined the walls of the old capitol decided that they were sou and that the old building could be re- paired at a cost of not more than $50,000, to serve as a temporary cap!- tol pending the erection of a new one. It is the present plan of the: Per- manent Seat of Government Commis- sion, composed of Gov. Hadley, At- torney-General Major and Secretary of State Roach, to cover the walls, put in partitions and repairs to make the building sufficiently strong to protect the State’s property and house the officials for three or four years. Would Enlarge Present Site. The only site in Jefferson City dis- cussed for the new building is com- posed of the present capitol grounds with an addeg block of ground lying between the present grounds and the hew. Supreme Court Butflding, This block, which members of the Legis- lature say Jefferson City must pur- chase and present to the State, if they vote to retain the capital in Jefferson City, is occupied by resi- dences and is owned by more than twenty persons, If this should be furnished the State, in case the capitol] remains here it would be erected on practically the same site as the old building, be- ing only a few feet farther from tne river. The .old building could be oc- cupied while. constructing the new —— VOTE ON SITE AND BOND ISSUE URGED S. L. Moser, secretary of the Mis- sourt Direct Legislation League and member of the executive committee of the People’s League, said Saturday that these organizations would ad- vocate a vote of the people of the State on both the site and bond is- sue for the new capitol. Representa- tives of these organizations probably will go to Jefferson City to counsel against a too hasty passage of any legislation seeking to appropriate money for a capitol without first sub- mitting the question of site to a referendum. "It does not follow,” Secretary Moser said, “that St. Louis is to be the site. But in a matter of this im- portance nothing should be done un- til the will of the people has heen sounded. This should be done at the polls and ample time allowed for a fair discussion of sites. The organi- zations I represent, or at least a large number of our membership, have ex- pressed the view that these two ques- tions should go to the people in the regular election of 1912. “The question of the bond teaine election in July, a bill for which is pending in the Legislature, would re- quire a two-thirds vote of the people. Any town that polled even slightly over a third of the voters of the State would render such an election nil, and $150,000 or more would have been spent without accomplishing anything. The question of site can- not be decided at a special election since it requires a constitutional! amendment. At a general election, too, a bond issue would pass with a majority Vote, Secretary Moser says the referen- @um plan will be submitted to the general meeting of St. Louis organ- izations in the office of the Busin Men's League, Monday, at 4 p. my NEW 20-ACRE OFFER FOR CAPITOL SITE James.

IL H. Sawyer, chairman of the com- mittee, said last night that a leading citizen of St. Louis had offered $10,000 or $20,000 toward a capital fund if 99 other citizens would. do the same, and then each of the 100 would get others who would take a part of the burden off his shoulders. In this way a million or even two million might be easily raised.

ta fr a search is. «yard Feb. 2, is inate + eatening| : SUNDAY MORND * SOOO re RN ee Sa VAN LOADS OF LOOT FOUND HII RIGHARDSON HE Nuts and Other Things That Came From Christmas Trees of Industrial School Seized. FURNITURE ALSO TAKEN Warrant Issued for the Son of the Accused Former Superintendent. Nuts, identified as part of a ship- ment sent to the St. Louls Industrial School to add to the Christmas cheer of boys and girl prisoners, were found yesterday afternoon at 3811 Utah place, the home of Robert Rich- ardson, a son of Allen P. Richardson, deposed superintendent of the school. BH. J. Howes, expert accountant, and deputy sheriffs sent with him to look for loot, said that they had suf- ficient evidence to show that the Christmas tree had been robbed. Howes obtained a search warrant in the Criminal Court and took two delivery wagons from the Industrial School to carry the articles which he believed he would find at homes of Richardson’s relatives. , Two small wagons were not equal to the task and later Howes hired furniture vans. The goods were taken |jto the Sheriff's office and sent to storerooms to be held as evidence for the grand jury. Circuit. Attorney Jones recommended the issuance of the search warrants. Warrant Is Served. Robert Richardson is enmbioed in the Auditor's office of the United Railways Co. He was at home when Howes and the deputies appeared. and he readily accepted service on the search warrant, ~ When the searchers found a bushel of nuts Richardson told them that his father had sent them to him and that he did not know that they were city property. Hiram Nitz, store- room Keeper of the Industrial School, a member of the searching party identified six cans of sardines as city property. He also told Howes that a large library table had been sent to Robert Richardson’s house. Richardson ‘said that after his father’s suspension the table had been burned. *“My wife said she didn’t want it around,” he said. City Paid for Furniture. All of the captured furniture was identified as having been made by Paul Mummert, Industrial School carpenter. He accompanied the dep- uties and told them that the fur- niture was made of materials paid for by the city and on the city’s time anfl that it was to be used in the Industrial School. At the home of P. A. Richardson, another son of the deposed superin- tendent, at 3909 Utah place, Howes found a bookcase and a cedar chest alleged to have been made of ma- terial purchased by the city and to have been intended as part of the furniture of the Industrial School. The city directory shows that. P. A. Richardson of 3809 Utah street is an assistant engineer in. the city Sewer Department, A dozen bottles of catsup were found in his home. Mrs. Richard- son said that she had made the cat- sup. Attaches of the Industrial School said that it looked like catsup which had been in the pantry there but as it bore no label Mrs. Richardson was permitted to keep it. Other Things Found. The home of Walter King, former assistant superintendent of the: In- dustrial School at 3321 Virginia ave- nue, also was searched. An oak telephone desk, an oak wardrobe made at the Industrial School, and a cedar shirt waist box were found. King admitted that the articles had come from the Industrial School, but said that Superintendent Richardson had given them to him. He said that Attorney Andrew C. Maroney advised him to keep them on the ground that they were gifts. GETS HER LICENSE ON DIVORCE DECREE Clerk Questions Age Until Ap- plicant Shows Papers of Former Marriage. To convince Deputy Marriage Li- cense Clerk Smith of East St. Louis yesterday that she was old enough to obtain a marriage license without rthe consent of her parents, Mrs. Dola Johnson of Carthage, Mo., produced a decree showing that she. was di- vorced from her first husband three years ago. The license was grantea Mrs. Johnson was accompanied by

| Leonidas G. Foltz, also of Carthage. She is scarcely five feet tall and the sweater coat and jaunty cap she wore made Smith dubious that she was 18 years old, which is the legal mar- riage age. Mrs. Johnson told him she was 24 years old but Smith hesitated until he saw the divorce decree. NAVAL OFFICER MISSING Captain Disappears From the Mare Island Yard.

St. Louis Boy Hints That He'll Be With Pirates on Training Junket. | nel Jack Powell, right-handed pitcher, “made his annual winter call on Prest- dent Hedges of the Browns yester- day. Powell handed his contract to ithe Browns’ owner. It bore his sig- nature. The trip was the ninth Powell has made during the off season in as many. years to President Hedges’ downtown headquarters. During the big pitcher’s career with the Browns and prior to that with the Cardinals and Cleveland club, he has always made it a point to personally hand his signed contract to the club owner. Although Powell may not have lived during the winter in the city in which he plays baseball, he has never been known to mail a contract to the man he works for. The former boilermaker isn’t superstitious, but just has a hobby of seeing to it per- sonally that the document is properly delivered. Powell to Start for Springs. Powell told President Hedges that he was ready to go to Hot Springs to prepare for the coming campaign immediately. After a short talk with the magnate, Big Jack decided that he would leave Monday for the Ar- . kansas Spa almost twe weeks ahead . of the main squad that>will train there. Powell looks in good condition. He has added only about 12 pounds to his weight during the off-season and ‘anticipates no trouble in getting down to his pitching notch. “IT am getting tired of being idle and might as well go down to the ' Springs where I can begin work,” said Powell to the Post-Dispatch. “I don't expect that I will need much ' strenuous hiking to take off the extra weight Iam carrying, as I am lighter > * Miow than I have been at this time ; of the season in five years.” Byrne Expects to Sign Up. Bobby Byrne, the St. Louis boy, who ./ % the third baseman of the Pittsburg club, has heard from President Drey- fuss of the Smoketown club, but has not signed his contract yet. When he _ «received the document, he didn’t like the figures mentioned, although an in- crease in his salary of a’ year ago was + He returned tthe contract -unsigned ie but Bobby hints that he will swing in and last week again heard from the Pi- rates’ owner. Byrne failed to say what Dreyfuss told him in the last letter The Pirates line pretty soon. are scheduled to report at West Baden, - March 11. They will remain there only | @ few days and then go to Hot Springs for the hard work of the training trip. “I received an increase in salary over _ what I drew last year,” said Byrne to the Post-Dispatch, “but I wasn't ex- | actly satisfied. There is only a slight » difference in the money they offered and the ambunt I believe I am worth. Fl probably be with the bunch when _they begin the training season.” | ; So @ Young Giants Get Away. .

schmidt fleeing from someone? Is

|* Frank Gotch afraid? Is Hacken- Zbyszko on the verge of frigiditis Not being able to feel Gotch’'s pulse, or to take Zbyszko’s pedal temperature, the answer cannot be given positively. But twe and two add up to four—some- times. And one, plus one, plus one, surely make three, in the wrestling in- cident herein referred to. There's No. 1, as to Gotch: Why did jhe hand out the championship to Yus- siff Mahmout, if he did not have the highest regard for the Turk’s skill and believe that he would stop the career of Hackenschmidt? There’s No. °, as to ‘“‘Hack’’: Why did he refuse Mahmout’s offer of a finish match, when a big purse was attached to the same? Why did he refuse to even meet him in handicaps? Then there’s No. 3, as to Zbyszko: Why does the big Galician refuse to mingle with the ‘‘terrible’ Turk? Why did he turn down a big purse and side bet offered for a match strictly in pri- vate between the two? Added up, the answer to all three is that Mahmout is the coming mat cham- pion; and all three of these gentle- men and their managers afe aware of the fact. Jack Curley, who handles Hacken- schmidt, and who was with the trust when Mahmout was working hand-in- glove with that body, through Antoine Pierri, knows too much to let the big Russian take a chance at Mahmout. * - * Mismanagement Ruins Mahmout. OHN C. MEYERS of 8t. Louis, who J manages to keep pretty well in touch with the wrestling game, says that Mahmout has something on them all. He stands ready to put up $10,000 of a $20,000 purse to bring Hack- ens¢hmidt and Makmout together. The Turk got into bad company in his previous effort in this country. He was paid a stock salary of $125 a week by Pierri, and all the proceeds of his work: went to his manager. He did what his manager told him, and that meant anything Pierri thought was for the best interests of his own pocket- book. * e * Olson Thinks Turk Great. Men like Charles Olson, who is a real’ wrestler, say that Mahmout will never get a match with any of the big fel- lows. They all fear his prowess. He is not only bigger and stronger than Gotch, but he is a much faster thinker than Hackenschmidt and Zbyszko, who. can .never be champions for this very reason. Such is the “freeze-out’’ game be.ng played now in this country that the “unspeakable” Turk can scarcely get employment to feed himself. Here’s the world’s champion in embryo, con- tent with training a third-rater like Charley Cutler, who threw Ordeiran the other night, while the whole world wonders how he was able to do it. It was Mahmout that made him do it. It's about time some “‘live’’ one got hold of the Turk and forced him down the throats of the “trust.” i * - * Skirting the Danger Line. HERE’S a temptation to believe +r that in sport the definition of an amateur seems largely to be “one who has never been caught’’ playing the professional. Indications in the local boxing world that even this definition is not long to be observed are not wanting Probably half a dozen of the men fighting here regularly under the amateur rules have, at some time or other, picked off a few plums on the East Side. In fact Jack Shelton is a reformed professional. “Dummy” Schenck, who was sched- uled to appear at a’‘recent show in this city, has probably fought as many professional contests as Bat- tling Nelson—unless, indeed, the gen- tleman was another “Dummy” of | similar family cognomen. ~ ao * Amateurs Have Made Good. St. Louis for a long time has made good by being strictly ‘‘on the level’ with its amateur boxing. It earned a reputation for this from one end of the country to the other. While other clubs were slipping over the professionals sent in teams against the Missouri A. C. or other local club stars, St. Louis men were simon pures in every sense. The city has developed many good ones and those who went all the way to San Fran- cisco to the A. A. Us; championships were not only good boxers, but were good enough to have won anywhere, had they been pitted against bona fide amateurs. No “Pros” Need Apply. It is rather late in the day to lapse from the high plane established here in the past by running in cheap preliminary professionals, upder .the guise of simon pures. Among those fighting in St. Louis today are at) least two professionals who have drifted here from other cities, to be taken up as amateurs by local clubs. The risk in putting them on is not worth the candle for some of our A. A, U. men can put up quite as good a fight. The boxing game here, even the amateur one, hangs on too slight a thread to take chances of this sort. . . . “When Coulon Was a “Riager.” HAT other cities are not above fudging in the matter of their am- ateur fights was shown a few

se ing everything we know. I have.the papers on him, ever. For many years this blushing grandson of Erin has been hiding his incandescence under a tent, and it remains for yours truly to turn on the spotlight and raise the curtain. And speaking of tents, this Jean Paul McSweeney is a regular three- ringed performer when it comes to athletics. But you have got to be one of the first settlers or at least one of -the oldest inhabitants to get the com- plete dope on Monsieur de Paul. ENGLISH PILGRIMS SAID HE WAS “CLEVAH, YE KNOW” OU cheer, boys of the chorus of Y rooters who go out to Athletic Park and whoop her up for the St. Leos and the Innisfails, the Blue Bells, and the ‘‘Knights,”’ and probably think you know McSweeney. And probably you do know that he is one of the best if not the greatest soccer referee in soccerdom. The Pilgrims, when they were here, passed out the mush stuff and labeled Paul a “‘bally clevah referee, don’t ye know.” They specified his “clevah- ness” by saying that he was “jolly strong on the matter of fouls.” In other words, he has “clawss,” accord- ing to them. .However, it isn’t necessary for the English to tell us that Mac is the goods. .As a soccer player, we know that he looked graceful in kilts, and that he just couldn’t make his feet behave. And, for that matter, some of his friends say the same about his elbows and his knees, ' And Paulus remarked, as I tied him t> a chair: ‘Yes, we used to get away with a lot of that stuff in those days, but now”’ (with a wink) “it’s different.’’ HE IS GOOD IN MANY BRANCHES OF ATHLETICS KX, motif of this sketch and that is to prove that this modest, bunch UT I’m getting away from the of brain and muscle is or was the great- est athlete turned out in this Bonny, Berry Burg. It is true we have had our champion runners, like Joe Murphy; our cham-

Missouri A. C., so the substitution only redounded to the credit of the local fighters, Out at\Seattle, too, the St. Louis team was against several professional fight- ers. Notwithstanding this, Kirkwood slipped away with a title for the South Broadway Athletic Club. 7 * é tAberal Police Board Needed. T is a trifle unfortunate for the city that the St. Louis Police Board does not take the attitude toward fighting assumed by the Kansas City officials, this enabling the city to sep- arate {ts professional and amateur box- ing. In this way the latter could flour- ish without the taint that now is Hable ty attach to it. In Kansas City the Commissioners permit at least one club, which has a roster of over 3000, to hold boxing con- tests. Only members are admitted and the contests are under the supervision of the police. No knockouts are tol- erated and betting is prohibited. The contestants divide the purse equally— at least they're supposed to—avoiding the allegation that the contest Is for a prize.

NEW YORK, Feb. 18.—Eastern college track and field cracks and representa- tives of athletic clubs from Chicago, Boston and Canadian points participat- ed last night in the annual ipdaor meet- ing of the New York Athletic Club at Madison Square Garden. Cornelius E. Walsh of the New York Athletic Club established a new world’s record of 15 feet 1% inches in throwing the 66-pound weight for height over a bar, a method different from throwing it toward a suspended wooden disc, at which he also holds the world’s record. George E. Gouiding of Toronto, Can- ada, who holds the world’s mile walking championship with a mark of 6:25 1-5, gave a splendid exhibition in the mile walk handicap, which he captured in 5:38, beating his field easily. The Boston Athletic Association made a plucky effort in the mile relay race against the New York Athletic team, but Gissing of the local club made his run in good time in the final quarter of a mile and beat out Merrihew at the finish by a yard. The mile race for the Baxter Cup, an international event, was cleverly won by A. R. Kieviat of the Irish-American Club, who-beat Hedlund, the New En- gland champion, by one yard, with Tait, the Canadian, third, five yards back. , sn, il - Juares Entries. | JUAREZ, Mexico, Feb. 18.—Entries for Feb. 19: First race. four furlongs—Closer 115, Bill Lamb 108.

a track athlete McSweeney showed with considerable luminosity as a member of the old Hibernians, who used to thrive here some fifteen years ago. On the ice Mac was real hot stuff, being well and favorably known as a hockey player at the Ice Palace. As a ballplayer,—Well! Well! Here we are with the dope. Way back yon- der in the days of old Chris Von der Ahe and the Browns, when Charlie Comiskey was learning how to be a,mil- licnaire, McSweeney was there with bells on. ; 2

Very few fans ae today recall the time when Paul-played second base for the Browns and had many offers to go elsewhere. But he preferred the minors to the majors, and for years has been flirting with clubs like the Alton Blues and Belleville Clerks. Just think, today he might be either a Connie Mack, a Heine Kulage or a Jimmy McAleer. As for soccer, this February weather doesn’t make a noise much like soccer. Do you know that he organized and captained our first local soccer team, the old Kensjngtons who used to play (in Lucas Park at Jefferson and Cass avenues? SOCCER HAS RUGBY BEAT BY A MILE, HE DECLARES PEAKING of soccer, and that is all S he waquid chirp about, he remarked carelessly that he thought it had rugby beat a mile. “Why, it takes a good, game fellow to play soccem You can pick up any strong young man and make a good rugby player, providing he can remember the signals. Now, in soccer any kind of an athlete can make good at it, providing. he is game, but he must be game. When you see a big fellow rushing at about a thousand miles a minute, don’t tell me it doesn't take nerve to tackle him. In the other game, it’s’ mostly do as you are told, and half the play is behind you and you don’t realize what is coming off. But say (with a worried look), don’t quote me in the paper. I don’t like this lime- light business and I never talked this much to a newspaper man before.”’ But that brings us up to the present time and I now take great pleasure in introducing to your kind attention Paul athlete, who' will answer any question or questions put to him by this intelli- gent audience. He will tell you his name, weight and previous occupation, providing it isn't touching on or apper- taining to his athletic: career, but. I want to warn you that he has elther a nasty memory or is suffering with a case of the “shys.” A little of that wiggle music, profes- sor, while Mr. McSweeney sings, after which he will give an imitation of the Diving Veuus, Annette Kellermann and will conclude the performance with a series of classic poses illustrating the Boxer, the Wrestler, the Runner, the Hockey Player, the Ballplayer, the Um- pire, the Referee, the Soccer Player and fimally—and the one thing he admits he can do—the Penuchle Player. I thank you!

RAYMOND HAS DOUBTS ABOUT. THE EFFECT OF ABSTINENCE ON PITCHING we

bg ' Clubs in » Coming Races / Upto Recruit Pitchers

f Neither Team Has Enough Veteran Slabmen to T ake Regular Turns on the Mound This Year.

B ASEBALL is such an uncertain game that there ts no pre- dicting with exactitude or certainty the probable finish of any. set of teams in any pennant race. In the past it has been customary, at the beginning of the sea- son, to attempt to name the probable standing of the respective clubs in the major leagues at the end of the schedules. The uncertain values of the new material acquired and the unknown extent of depreciation of veteran timber make this virtually an impossibility, NOU’. article, wv Instead the Post-Dispatch, beginning with the actompanying ill endeavor to present all the known facts about all the teams én each league letting the reader draw his own deductions as to their chances in the 1911 campaigns. ANAGER RHODY WALLACE is going to have a more difficult task in determining the lineup of the Browns for the coming season than will have Manager Roger Bresna- han, who begins his third year as leader | of the Cardinals. Few if any changes will likely be made in the makeup of the local Na- tionals from the way they took the field a year ago, while with Wallace, he has a big squad of men from which to choose the players who are to be counted as regulars. Included in his list are many newcomers whose ability will have to be tested. The trade which Manager Wallace arranged with the Yankees of New York recently will undoubtedly assist the Browns. If nothing more, it gives the team a splendid fielding third baseman, in Jimmy Austin. Austin may be a weak hitter, but it cannot be denied that he is a capable man on defense. Another valuable asset in Austin's makeup will ‘be his Hvely disposition. ' expected to brace the ‘He appears to Both Men Poor Hitters. HILE Austin may not always hit as well as Hartzell—their rec- ords, .218, were the same last year—the former New Yorker will prove @ more valuable man than the cowboy. Frank Laporte and his bat are also Browns, Just ‘where Manager jVallace will play the ‘stockily bullt chap remains to be seen. have little chance to crowd Truesdale out of the second base job. This leaves him an opportunity to fh 'That’s probably where | las his’ heavy hitting will ace to keep him in the bat- The first base problem is the biggest «one for Manager Wallace to solve. Wal- " “lace hasn't lost faith in Pat Newnam, _ the former Texan. ‘may surprise us all. “Pat played most of the time he was here last season with‘ an awful sore hand,"’ said Wallace to; the Post-Dispatch. “He will again be given an oppor- tunity to show what he can do, and I like his looks and must say he has a good chance to remain the Browns’ regular first packer.’ » Contenders for the job at first base ‘will be McAuley, who played with the West Ends, one of Chicago’s semi- essional teams, last season, and in tne Wisconsin State League in 1909, and Parl Ohl, another’ semi-professional, “fiom Plainsville, Pa. Both are said to bb good hitters. McAuley is probably the more finished fielder. Both are left- | ers. RUESDALE played under a big handicap last year. He was a member of the training trip party in 1910, but at that time none con- | ceded him a chance of becoming the | Browne’ regular second baseman. Em- | ; ery Olsen, who had been obtained from the Louisville (American Association) team, was the man slated for the job. He failed to report and Art Griggs was tried. He was considered the regu- lar .until he began losing game after game at the middle . ehub and did the pillow. Finally Truesdale was sent to that station. It took quits a while for him to gain the needed confidence, as it was any- thing but pleasant to go in under the existing conditions. — Toward the close' of the season his flela play and his hitting improved, while he was the fastest man on the best work on the bases. Now that he knows he can fill the bill, he may be expected to play an improved game. Olsen is expécted to - report this spring. Whether the year’s absence from the game because of iII- ness will have any effect on his playing ~Yemaina to be seen. However, Trues- @ale looks like the boy for the job at “*pecond base.

| The Browns of 1911. First base—Newnam. Second base—Truesdale. Third base—Austin. Shortstop—Wallace. Left fileld—Murray. Center field—Schweitzer. Right field—Laporte. To Select From: Catchers—Stephens, Clarke, Kille- fer, Krichell, Crisp, and Flint. Pitchers—Powell, Pelty, Bailey, Lake, Mitchell, Nelson, Murphy, Gregory,. Willis, Hamilton, George, Fanning, Tretter, Eaton, Pfeffer, Criss, Harper, Hall, Noyes and ‘Lotz. Inflelders—Blake, Black, Hallinan, McAuley and Ohl. Outfielders—Stone, Williams, Clo- velskie, Hoffman and Schotten.

‘tween Schweitzer and Stene

Is It Good-By, Stone? ALLACE has a fair-sized group W of outfielders from whom he will attempt to choose three for reg- ular places, The favorites at this writ- ing seem to be Schweitzer, Laporte and Joe Murray, who hails from the St. Paul (American Association) team. Schweitzer should be a better player than he showed'‘for Jack O’Connor a year ago. Laporte, as has been said before, can hardly, be kept off the club because of his hitting. Murray, the newcomer, is picked for a regular berth. George Stone has slumped terribly in the last three years. He didn’t even hit last year. Then he is probably the slowest fast man on the bases in the league. His weak arm is another S@reat drawback. It is also said that Stone's underpinning is worrying him and that after the training trip he may decide to quit the game, if he finds his legs are not sound. It’s be- which survives. Murray led the American Assoctia- tion hitters for awhile last season, his batting mark at one time being .865, Then he met with an accident in which some steel dust got in his eyes. It required the use of a magnet to remove the metal. For a while his average shrunk, but towards the close of the season he was hitting well again. “Nig’’ Clarke O. K. HERE’S no question but that Wal- + lace will have a strermmthened catching staff. If “Nig” Clarke, who came from Cleveland in exchange for Art Griggs, is as good as he writes to President Hedges, the Browns have a chance of owning one of the best receivers in the league. Clarke’s aids will probably be Jimmy Stephens and Paul Krichell, the latter from the Mecntreal (Eastern - League) team. Killefer, because of his weak hitting, and Crisp, because of an old injured knee, will likely be kept off the team. The pitching staff, too, will prob- ably be an improvement over a year ago. Of the veterans there still] re- main Lake, Powell, Pelty and Bailey. Mitchell and Nelson of the newcom- ers were tried last spring and appear to have a chance to stick. Then “Lefty” George should be a regular, judging from the reports of all who saw him work tn the minor leagues. There's a big bunch of others, al! with good records in the leagues from which they come, and until Manager Wallace has had an opportunity to see them in action, there's no telling who wil’ remain and who will be chased. Taken all in all, the Browns should be an im rovement over a@ year ago. Perhaps the team will not be able to head off sf of the other seven con- tenders; but if that is the case it will be because Washington and Chicago have added considerable strength. * Cardinals Relying on Sallee’s _ Good Behavior to Help the Staff NLIKE Manager Wallace, Man- ager Bresnahan of the Cardi- nals knows what most of his mien are capable of doing.

GULUMBUS CLUB WILL ENDEAVOR TQ BEAT CHAMPS The Columbus Club will meet the St. Leos for the last time this season in the second game of the St. Louis Soccer League’s double-header at Athletic Park today. In the first game the Innisfails will fight it out with the Blue Bells for last place. The Columbus Club-St. Leo clash should prove one of the most interest- ing games to be played this sea- son. The St. Leos hawe the cham- pionship tueked away and their posi- tion is in no way endangered. The Columbus club, holders of the second place, have but one point lead over the Innisfails, and are very eager to finish in their present position, next to the champions. Cellar Piace Ia at Stake, The Innisfaitl-Blue Bell game should furnish some interesting proceedings in the curtain raiser... The Irishmen have the gcant margin of one point over the Scotchmen, and they will have to hustle their hardest in order to keep from slipping into the cellar. The Scotchmen have shown improved form of late, and it would not be surprising .if they would nose out the wearers of the gray in today’s game, thereby replacing them in third place.

more valuable man at tne bat. Evans’ batting record was low last year, but he gets his hits at the right time. That Mighty Infield. ONBY, Huggins, Hauser and Mow- K rey will again man the infield, With the experienee this quartet obtained in playing together for the first time last season, the defense of the Bresnahan machine should be of the stone wall variety this year. HEauser’s sensational fielding will’ probably carry him along even though his hitting is weak. There aré several new infielders to be tried out, but it will shock the management if any of the newcomers prove of such class as to supplant any of the 1910 regulars. Manager Bresnahan will do the catch- ing for the team only when injury or illness prevents. . That’s as it should be, as the team -usually plays better with Roger wearing te pad and shin guards. As understudies, Roger will have Jack Bliss, who has been with the team three seasons, and Ivy Wingo, the latter from the Greenville (Carolina Association) team, and heralded as a coming Johnny Kling. Up to the Pitchers. HE success of the Cardinals this + season depends on what the pitch- ers accomplish. Roger is sure only of Bob Harmon and Harry Sallee. They are young men, but Teally form Bresna- han’s staff of veterans. The others of the reguar staff must be-selected from a long list of young pitchers lined up since 1910 midseason. Bresnahan has looked over some of the men. He was particularly impressed with what Bteele and Golden showed last fall. According to Bresnahan, they have more than an outside chance to become regulars on his slab staff. “Rube” Geyer will be given another chance to become a regular. He was absolutely worthless last season, as his arm went wrong in the spring. If he recovers the use of the member, he should be a winner, as his record in the American Association was sensational. Grover Loudermilk will also come back 4ifor another trial. He prospered in the Three I League, last year, winning the pennant for Springfield, Ii], There are gome half-dozen others and it seems that Roger should be able to draw three ESP Set Goth Mek: te QE WereNn PAT | Sallee. ‘If Bresnahan is lucky with his twirl- ers, he has a chance to land better thaa seventh this year, In fact if four re- Mable men can be found to take their

Unwonted Indulgence in Water, He Suspects, Is Apt to Throw Him off His Stride. A no longer desires to be known as ‘‘Bugs,’’ may slip from the water wagon he so arduously climbed upon during six long weeks at Dwight In- stitute. Raymond, while he does not ‘feel himself slipping,’’ says he has good reason for contemplating a tumble from the aqua cart. For the present, however, the big right-hander of the New York Giants thinks he is going to give the ride a trial, fpr awhile. “In all my days as a baseball player I always pitched my best when I had e~comfortable ‘edge’ on,’’ said Raymond naively. ‘‘Now I am on the water wagon and will probably stick, but wouldn’t it be fumny if I failec to make good while behaving? “If I find that I can’t make a suc- cess on the mound as a prohibitionist, I’m going to tumble, because I know that I can pitch ball when I’m geezed. I'll -be a pretty rich man at the end of the season, though, if I keep riding high and dry. Manager McGraw cor- nered me in Chicago the other day and slipped me a contract that calls for a boost of $1700 over what I drew last year. That makes my six months’ pay check almost $6000. “Then I think the. Giants have an awfully good chance to win the pen- nant this season and little Arthur is going to do his share of the good work. If we win the flag it will mean that we will mix up in the world’s series with tne American League champions. That looks like $3000 fnore to me. GARGLING THE BREW NOW OUT OF HIS LINE. i Oe now I am feeling fine and don’t care for the ‘suds’ like I did a year ago. I have called on a good many of my friends in St. Louis since hitting the burg Thursday night, but haven't touched a drop. But believe: me, I certainly gargled my rshare of the brew they make here while I was a Cardinal and since joining the Giants. “Tt was right here that I jumped the Giants last season.

He always wanted to strap me down. “The thing that got me sore on him was when I found out that he was a tank like myself. For quite awhile, when we went out together he would always drink soda or 8a5s while I inhaled the foamy stuff. Later, though, I learned that he would get up early in the morning. go down to the bar and inject about a half dozen or ten ‘little big’ ones nto himself.

Right after the game I got an old sack, filed it with hay, put it under the cover and turned the light low. Of course when Fuller’ looked through the transom and saw the lump in the, bed, he thought it was me. “Well, that night we went out and as usual got geeked and also pinched.

AND CARDINALS ap DEPENDENT ON. GOOD SHOWING OF RECRUIT PITCHERS — "ByGs RAYMOND. ST. LOUIS. TEAM SCORES MOST IN ATHLETIC EVENTS

Aided gy Poor Handicapping, Coach Bender’s Track Men Annex M. A. C. Meet. The liberal handicaps allowed the St. Louis University athletes in the open indoor meet under auspices of the Missouri Athletic Club last night, were far beyond the ability of the Cherry Diamond athletes to over- come, and as a result Coach Bender's band had little trouble in scoring the greatest number of points. St. Louis U. men captured four of the seven events, and in all tallied 23 points. C. B. C. finished second with 12, M. A. C. third with 10, and C. Y. M. A. C. fourth with 9. The meet» was lacking as far as fea- tures were concerned, the handicaps he- ing of such’ magnitude as to destroy interest. Bradley, a former Missouri University runner, wearing the colors of the St. Louis U. captured the 35- yard dash with a handicap of four feet, while C. Cook of the Central Y. M. C. A. was second and Carl Forline of the M. A. C., scratch, third. Cook was the real winner of the race, however, as he was forced to run over the final heat with Bradley, owing to the protest made by Johnny Bender. Cook had won it easily the first time, but Johnny became peevish and to pre- vent anything unpleasant the event was run over, and the result reversed. Muckerman of the blue and white school,, who was served very liberally when the marks were dished out, won both hurdles. In the 80-yard run, W. Bray, another St. Louis man, finished first from the 30-yard mark. Oliver Vassar and Robert Temm were the only M. A. C. athletes to get better than third, each scoring a second.

In the midst of its busiest season the plant of the Premier Motor Manu- facturing Co. in Indianapolis is util- izing every available inch of factory space by night as well as day, accord- ing to A. J. Lindsay of @he Lindsay Motor Car Co. The company has planned to produce about 1000 cars during the 191k season, a good por- tion of which have already been ship- ped throughout~’the fall to various parts of the country. Their’attention has been concentrated upon two models, one a six-cylinder car of 60 horsepower and the other a _ four- cylinder car of 40 horsepower. Upon these two chassis several] styles of bodies may be placed and the bodies themselves are interchangeable with other models, the difference in the length of the wheel base being repre- sented in the motor.

particularly irksome or burdensome. Many of the present members of the Missouri Legislature are ow ners of automobiles, FAVORS LAWS TO SAFEGUARD -AVIATION “Legislators are starting on a unique field for legislation, as I see that the Governor of Massachusetts has recommended the passage of cer- tain laws surrounding the flights of air machines and _ restrictions for aviators,” said “Dollar” Ingalls, chief instructor of the Kansas City Avia- tor Training Sehool of Kansas City. “IT am heartily in accord with any legislation that will safeguard the lives and property of the public, as well as the jives of aviators. That some aviators have proven foolhardy is well known, yet, to the careful manipulator of the flying machine there is no more danger than -to the driver of an automobile, provided, of course, that he is competent. “My first suggestion would be the “enactment of a law making it com-

pulsory for all aviators to pass re satisfactory examination regarding their ability to handle aeroplanes. This should be a very severe examin- ation, for I believe that the time is not far off when the aeroplane craze will be so general that many inex- perienced persons will attempt to fly. “Only sustained flights and careful instruction by trained aviators will give the necessary experience. There is very little danger to public prop- erty and lives of pedestrians when a flying machine is in the air, provided, of course, it is in apenas of a com- petent aviator. “While in the Kast, I read that the Missouri Legislature was considering enacting a law limiting the height to which an aviator may go to 1000 feet | as well as limiting the speed of his jaeroplane. I do not believe this is feasible, as there is safety to the aviator and the public in both height and speed. When the aviator is in the air, he has nothing solid to sus- tain him and speed alone will put sufficient sustaining power under his planes. There is also safety in height. Flying low is dangerous, as the avia- tor is more. than likely to encounter adverse winds, caused by coming into contact with buildings, trees and other obstructions on the ground: It is “surprising how small an obstruc- tion will cause a commotion in the air. I can best illustrate the action of obstructions in the air by a. com- parison with water. Hold a stick in a rapidly running stream, and it will cause the water to circulate all about it, making innumerable ripples and generally disturbing the conditions. The same thing applies to air, when’ encounters an obstruction, how- ever slight. “The necessity and advisability. of speed in an aeroplane may be com- pared to the necessity of speed when a skater is crossing thin or “rubber” ice. If he moves slowly, he is sure to fall through the ice, while if he has sufficient speed, he can easily skate to safety. “T am strongly in favor of legisla- tion for aeroplanes, provided it is practical and will safeguard the lives and property of the public and the aviators.” VISITORS FROM FACTORIES General Saies Manager Teal of the Ohio electric car, was at the exhibit all week of the Smith Auto and Battery Co., and he and F.

It was well attended by a gerious crowd of automobile hunters an4é the number of sales closed by the variohs exhibitors was gratify- ingly large. As an exhibition of automobiles it was thoroughly enjoyed by the pub- lio. The opportunity was given to some of the newer and less known cars to shine in their own limelights instead of in the reflected glory of the older and better known cars. One of the features of the show Wag the large number of visitors from the smaller towns and cities surrounding St. Louis and as faraway as 200 miles. Many of these were implement and vehicle dealers who closed up for subagencies for cars in their respective towns. A large number were also prospective buyers of individual machines. A member of _ the mittee stated to tch that the show closed s a financial success. “When the show opened Monday night the ex- penses for the week had been paid by the sales of exhibit space. The gate receipts therefore constitute the profits for the week and they have been large enough to insure a rebate to exhibitors.

fee unless the man arrested is convict- ed, and he wants :to be sure of a fee before he goes out in the rain to arrest @ man, especially a school superintend- ent. James Lewis is a constable of Upper Alton, but he is also a member of the police force in Alton, and he had his duties there to attend to, so he could net serve the warrant. The only other constable is a farmer who lives so far out in the country that he could not be reached yesterday. So all day the warrant for the arrest of the School Superintendent lay on the desk of Justice Ford, and no one could be found to serve it. “I hope some of the constables will get well by Monday,” said the Justice. Wasn't Doing ae Thing. Dailey alleges that Prof. Belote threw his son down, beat his head against the floor and kicked him. The boy tells this story: “] was behaving myself, when Prof. Belote came into the room and told everyone te stand up. He said I was misbehaving and he grabbed me and pulled me over a row of seats and threw me to the floor. Then he grabbed me with a hand on‘ each side of the head and’ bumped it against the floor. He kicked me in the back and in the side. He was so angry that his face was red and he was excited. Before he let me up he said that if he had any more trouble with me he would settle my hash.’’ There is a big bruise on the side and -everal bumps on the back of the Dalley voy’s head. Prof. Belote could not be found last night, but his wife said that accord- ing to what he said, the boy’s story was not true. She said he told her that as he passed the music room ofthe school he heard boisterous sounds. When he went into the room, he said, the Dailey boy was standing on a chair and he ordered him to sit down and behave. He was not rough, she saig but took the boy by the shoulders and pushed him back into his seat. ; a wean a on age th ee enemas aad a teen -

SUES TORECOVER PROPERTY DEEDED BEFORE DIVORCE Edward Wedekind Pleads Wife Gained Title Through His lg- norance of Papers.

Edward Wedekind of Greenville, Ill, filed suit in the Circuit Court yesterday against his former wife, Frieda Wedekind-Polfer, to recover ij title to real estate at Sarah street and Kennerly avenue valued at $10,- 000. In the petition he recites how he was induced through an inability to read English to sign away his in- terest to real estate worth $26,000. He has also brought suit in the Cir- cuit Court of Bond County, IIL, to recover title to a 280-acre farm, to whioh his former wife now holds title. Wedekind and the woman were married in 1900. Two years later, he says, she asked him to deed to her a life interest in his estate. He refused, and she began, he alleges, a systematic course of mistreatment, which eventually had the effect of inducing him to comply with her de- mand. The transfer of the property was made in 1904 through Clara M. Young, a stenographer, in a St. Louis lawyers office. Wife Fad Deeds Prepared. Wedekind says his wife brought the deeds, which had been prepared by a St. Louis lawyer, for him to sign. His unfamiliarity with the En- glish language, he says, led him to believe he was simply conveying a life interest to his wife. The deeds were made out to Miss Young, with the understanding, it is alleged, that the property would be re-conveyed to Wedekind. Instead, however, the stenographer conveyed the property to. Mrs. ‘Wedekind, absolutely giving her full power to sell, according to the petition. The plaintiff declares that he did not discover the real nature of what had been done until his return home last September after a year’s absence in Ontario, Canada, where he had gone, he says, ‘at the instance of his wife, to invest in farming land. He found that his farm in Bond County had been rented by his wife, that she had re- moved from there, and had obtained a divorce from him in East St. Louis in August, 1910, and had married Antone Polfer three days after getting the de- cree. Was Oorresponding With Wife, The divorce was obtained on the ground of desertion. Wedekind says he was not served with divorce papers, al- though his wife knew where he was, and in her correspondence with him urged him to remain in Canada with his two sons by a former marriage until he had made a success of his farm ven- ture there. Attorney E. E. Schnepp, whi repre- sents the plaintiff, says that Wedekind’s entire fortune is represented in the property he seeks to recover. The wom- an and her present husband live in the Sarah street property. She has been collecting the monthly rents since April, 1909. Miss Young, who is made co-defend- ant in the suit, was a stenographer for Attorney Max Ruler. She now lives ai Vicksburg, Miss. The Polfers were not at home when & Post-Dispatch reporter tried to get their version of the transaction. WOMAN SEEKS RELATIVE $1900 Is Waiting to Be Claimed by Miss McKennedy. Mrs. Mary Anthony, 80056 Salena street, wishes to hear from her half- sister, Miss Paulina Meyer McKen- nedy, who disappeared in 1903. At that time Miss McKennedy was living with Mrs. Anthony ot 341i De Kalb street. Her father died a year ago and there is a portion of an estate, amounting to $1900, awaiting for the missing Miss iss McKennedy, AMATEUR FLIES 16 MILES

XS . ~Map Shows That Only One Railroad Hits the : ‘Present Capital—The -

T, LOUIS is the logical place for the State Capitol because of its convenient location with reference to all parts of the State. BECAUSE-—- From 55 of the 114 counties in.the State travelers to or from Jefferson City must pass through St. Louis. BECAUSE— A!! roads lead to St. Louis. Every trunk line crossing the State, except one, has terminals in and runs fast frains through to » St. Louis. _ Jefferson City is the illogical place for the capitol— BECAUSE— Only one trunk line of railroad, the Missouri Pacific, passes through it. Another goes within three miles of it, with a river be- 3 tween, and not another goes nearer than 50 miles of it. BECAUSE— From only 35 of the 114 counties in the State can a traveler reach Jefferson City without first passing through Kansas City or St. Louis. ’ BECAUSE— From only 15 county seats is it possible to make the trip direct to Jefferson City without changing cars from one to five times, and from five of these 15 county seats it is necessary to ride three miles in a hack to reach the capitol. | | The whole State of Missouri would benefit much pore than a's St. Louis if the capitol were moved here from Jefferson City. Teporters for the Post-Dispatch investigated the railway the different county of Missouri to the legislators in e having rails into Jefferson City. re “.'The next closest trunk line is the . M, K. & T., which has a station three _ Miles away; but the Missouri river is ‘between this station and the capital, the connection being made by a bus line, and they are antiquated busses, Be hard seats, - early always crowded with passen- gers. ith ,yhard springs and The drive is over a stony road hrill blasts howl with cutting keen- ness in winter, To avoid this bus ride bers of the Legislature and oth- having business at the State capi- ‘tal, even those who live within 190 Miles of ‘Jefferson City, often make the longer trip around by St. Louis. These two trunk lines, ies within many miles of Jeeffrson ty, are the only ones in the State at charge 3 cents a mile passenger fare. On all.other roads the rate is P% cents a mile. This excessive pas- nger rate alone constitutes a tax ipon the State of no mean sum in the - @e@eregate when it is considered how many thousands go to the capital ch year on business from all parts A Whistling Station. ugh Jefferson City is on one ine of railway it is little more “whistling station upon that fe route across the State m St Louls fo Kansas City is a ir one-night or one-day ride and he Missouri Pacific Railway ar- anges the time of its trains with hat in view. All the trains run ‘the convenience of its through iwers in view. The cross-state depart each morning and ight from opposite ends © State and arrive at the md after a day or a night is arangement makes Jeffer- @ most unhandy place to either St, Louls or Kan- i) eed oe * rr WE State a long bridge across which the the only,

to the State capital arrive there at hours so. inconvenient that a persen loses nearly a whole night’s rest if he travels to or from the capital at all after dark. But the inconvenience suffered by those who go from St. Louis and Kan- sas City to the State capital is as nothing compared to that of those who live in other parts of the State. For there is not a single north and south road in the State except in its extreme eastern and western borders, and there is not one at all that goes anywhere hear Jefferson City. The main lines traverse the Stafe from west to east, all except two of them giving Jefferson City a wide berth. Frisco Far Away. There is the Frisco system covering with its main line or branches nearly all that vast breadth of country south of the Missouri River, but nowhere touching a point within the width of two counties of Jefferson City. There is the Iron Mountain system linking 25 or more counties in the southeastern part of the State, and yet"its nearest line to the State cap- ital is go far removed from it that travelers in that direction are forced to go through St. Louis, as are those from the Frisco territory. There is the great Burlington system. gridironing the entire north half of the State, its tracks connecting 40 counties with each other, and yet the Burlington Railroad, nor any branch of it, goes nearer to Jefferson City than 50 miles. There is the Wabash system, cross- ing the State from east to west, with numerous ramifications into many counties, but none reaching within the width of a very wide county and a half of the State capital. The Rock Island crosses the State a whole tier and a half of counties south of Jefferson City. Alten Near Capital. The Chicago & Alton, crossing the State from east to west, has a branch road south from Mexico, 50 miles to Cedar City, three miles north of Jef- ferson City, This is the only railroad, except the Missouri Pacific and the M., K. & T. which goes anywhere near the capital, but its connection is so poor, the mixed trains run so slow | fem are so generally late, that very few legislators go over it even when 'to Jefferson City. by way of St. Louls ta reach the capital. The only 15 county seats from which it is possible to go to Jefferson City without changing cars are Jack- son, Johnson, Pettis, Moniteau, Osage, Gasconade, St. Louis, St. ‘Charles, Henry, Vernon, Callaway, Audrain, Cooper, Saline and Lafayette. An instance of the inconvenience caused legislators and others who go to the State capital on business is shown in the case of the representa- tive from Maries County. From Vien- na, the county seat, is a drive of ten miles to Freeburg on the Rock Island road. There the representative from Maries County takes the train west to Eldon and goes north over a branch of the Missouri Pacific to Jefferson City, an entire distance of 87 miles, and he is five hours in covering it. If the capital was in St. »e.ouls the dis- tance from Freeburg would be 118 miles, but it would be covered in four hours, in a@ moderr crain, the time it takes to go the 40 miles from Eldon to Jefferson City on a train of freight cars with one passenger coach on the rear. Roundabout Route. the county seat of Franklin County, the legisator goes east on the Rock Island 14-miles to Labadie on the Missouri Pacific. There he waits for a train and goes west 80 miles to Jefferson City, a whole dis- tance of 94 miles, requiring three and one-half hours to cover. If the capital was in St. Louis he would go without change of cars 60 miles in two hours. The case of H. J. Simmons, Repre- sentative from Shelby County, proves that the longest way round is the quickest way there, when the State capital ig the objective point. The shortest way from Shelbyville, the county seat to Jefferson City, is a drive to Clarence, thence to Macon over the Burlington, Macon -to Mob- erly over the Wabash, to Mexico over the Wabash, to Cedar City over the Cc. & A. and to Jefferson City by hack, a distance of three miles. This is a total distance of 100 miles. It requires 11 hours and four changes of cars with long dreary waits be- tween trains, for it is proverbial that trains on fhe Missouri branch reads are always behind time. This man could go to Jefferson City from his county seat, as in fact he and his fellow townsmen do the greater part of the time, by the same route the mails go, via St. Lovis, a distance of 291 miles, nearly three times as far, but with ;: only one change and in only eight hours, three hours’ fewer than by the -shortest route. If the capital was in St. Louis From Union, ihe would have only 166 miles to go and would cover it tn five hours. The isolation of Jefferson City Is shown by the fact that from points fewer than 100 miles distant it is necessary to change cars from one to three or four times to get there. From Columbia, the seat of Boone, adjoining Cole County, of which Jef- ferson City is the seat, it is 44 miles | To go from one town to the other it is necessary 10 change twice and to ride three miles iia. « nett SRE BO ee RE FD ORGS Representative R..S.

twice and rides three miles in a bus to get there, . It is. only 50 miles from Mexico, seat of Audrain County, to Jefferson City, but it requires a_ride of four hours by rail and 30 minutes by hack to get to the capital. From Mexico to St. Louis, 110 miles, the time by rail, without change; is three hours, one and one-half hours less than to’ go half as far to the capftal, and yet this branch of the C. & A. from Mexico to Jefferson City is the only route by which three-fourths of the legislators river can reach Jefferson City, unless they go by way of St. Louis or Kansas City. Nearly one-third of the State of Mis- souri lies south of the main line of the Frisco Railroad, Which runs diagonally across the State from Springfield north- east to St. Louis. In that territory are 386 of the 114 counties of the State and they are large counties. There is not a railroad reaching Jefferson City any point in this whole southern part of the State, and to reach Jefferson City “from any part of it one must come to St. Louis first and from there take the Missouri Pacific west 125 miles. And yet nearly the whole of this ter- ritory is reached by direct railway lines from St. Louis by the Frisco, the Iron Mountain and other roads. IEven from the southwestern corner of the State, from Barry, Taney, Christian, Lawrence and Dade counties, almost half the width of the State west of Jef-., ferson City, legislators have to come straight east to St. Louis and then go due west half way across the State again to reach the capital. And all of this countermarching means a heavy btrden to the taxpayers, for the State pays each legislator 5 cents for every mile of railroad he travels over in going from his home to the capita! and back again. The legislators from 55 counties in the State have to come first to St. Louis and then double back 125 miles to Jef- ferson City, an aggregate of 6875 extra miles of travel in going to a session of the Legislature, and the same re- turning, making a total of 13,750 miles of extra and useless travel, costing the taxpayers, at 5 cents a mile, nearly $700 for each session of the Legislature in mileage which would be saved if St. Louis was the capitai. \ In the north center of the State is a group of counties from which Jefferson .ity can be reached only by going west to Kansas City and then east over the Missouri Pacific. From each county in this group {s one or more railroad lead- ing straight to St. Louls without change of cars. The delay in transmission of mai) matter to and from Jefferson City is one of the serious handicaps of the present capital location. Between the capital and each town in the State there goes a steady — inter- change of business mail, lawyers send- ing their briefs to the Supreme Court, insurance agents sending their policies tobe registered, inquiries of all kinds, jana all of this mail inust go in round- about ways with many changes at junc- tion points. ee ee : i 3 ee » : bye ee - oe | from counties north of theft from. answered: oe elig

$1000 AN HOUR ~— -FEEONBIGDEAL Two ‘Weeks’ Spectacular Worfk _ of Walter J. Holbrook Muni- ficiently Rewarded. PUT THROUGH BARR SALE Close to $16,000,000 Involved and Real Estate Man’s Com- § mission Is $75,000.

Walter J. Holbrook, known as the most spectacular real estate specu- Jator and promoter in St. Louis, re- ceived: a commission of $75, 000 for two weeks’ work in putting through the $16,000,000 Barr deal. Allowing six hours and thirty min- utes to Holbrook’s business day—a liberal estimate, as his custom is to work from 10 a. m. to 3 D. m.—and allowing six working days to the week, this amounts to $1000 an hour for his services. The deal was the biggest of its * Kind ever brought to a conclusion in St. Louis, and the actual negotiations required only 10 days. But Holbrook’s oentract was signed Feb. 4, and the Boat was not officially ratified until yesterday. The amount of the commission became lnown among real estate men yesterday, ‘although Holbrook had refused to say Bhat it was. MeKittrick Was Shy Holbrook first conceived the Saving the May Department Stores Co. owners of Famous, buy the William Barr Pry Goods Co. about six weeks ago, and he wrote to Henry Ittelson of the Commercial Credit and Indem- nity Co., financial agent for the Mays. Ittelson thought well of the proposi- tion, but when Holbrook suggested it to Thomas H. McKittrick, president of Barr's, McKittrick would not hear of it. After a time Holbrook told McKittrick that his firm, the Holbrook-Blackwel- der Real Estate Trust Co., had ob- tained options for the Mays on tiie en- “tire block at Seventh street and Wash- ington avenue, bounded by _ those thoroughfares and Eighth and “St. Charles streets. If the Mays could not buy Barr’s, they would erect a rival de- partment store on that site, he pointed out. McKittrick then agreed to listen to a proposition to trade. The cepitalization of the Barr com- pany is $2,000,000. The price paid Was $1,835,000 for the stock, fixtures and good will. A Huge Transaction. é Eut this part of the deal was the east of Holbrook’s worries. He had } the same time, if hg earned his idea of

commission, to arrange for tie con- Struction of a 2i-story building, to ‘ost about $5,000,000, on the block eccupied by Barr's. The site is val- ed at $9,000,000. This brought the total of the money involved close to $16,000,000. A contract was signed here, . but there was ‘a slight hitch on account of Objections by the New York bank- ers. So Holbrook, a whirlwind of ac- tion, took McKittrick to New York ‘to close the deal. They left a week HONDURAN GES P INDICTED BY THE U. 5. GRAND JURY Bonilla, Christmas Beer, Davidi and Others Are Wanted in New Orleans. NEW ORLEANS, Teb. 18.—Indicet- ments were returned today by the ‘Unit- ed States grand jury against Manuel Bonilla, leader of the Revolutionary forces in Honduras; Lee Christmas, his chief lieutenant; Joseph W. Beer and Florian Davidi, in connection with «the alleged filibustering expedition on the Hornet, which sailed from this port last December. The indictment shiktete them with fit-

ting out in the United States a military’ expedition against Honduras, with which country the United States is at peace, and with conspiring to have the Hornet cleared for Cape Gracios, but later di- verting the. vessel to Ship Island, off the coast of Mississippt, where they clan- destinely took aboard arms and ammu- nition, boarded the vessel and sailed for Three Points, near Port Barrios, where other arms and men were taken aboard and two boats taken in tow for the Island of Roatan; that bv mili- tary force they captured this island, a part of the Honduran domain, éal! of which constituted a violation of the criminal statutes of this country. District Attorney Beatty immediate- ly asked the Court to issue capiases for the indicted men and it is said the rec- ognized Honduran Government will be asked to honor requisitions for ‘the re- turn. to this country of the revolution- ists.

President Praises Work of Ameri- can Physicians in Tropical "Countries. WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—Praitise for the American physician was voiced today by President Taft in remarks he addressed to a committee from the Philadelphia Medical Club, whose an- nual banquet on April 21 he was in- vited to attend. “If nothing else justified the Span- ish-American war,” said the Presi- dent, “the discoveries of the Amer- ican physicians since that time in the tropics were’ample to justify the ex- penses of that war 10 times over. “It remained for American physi- cians, and especially the physicians in the army, to discover more things there in the 10 years since the war than were discovered in the whole two ) centuries | before | that at time.” se A,

At last we are enabled to give the public definite and specific news. We have struck our first gusher and it Is one of the best in the field: Do you know what this means? . Do you. know that it answers every one of the critics and those who have scoffed and lied about Bulck Oil? It tells our stockholders that their judg- ment has been right. More than this, it tells tn direct language the value of Buick Midway holdings. Think -of an ofl -well that {fg today producing from 1500 to 38000 barrels. At the present selling price.of ofl this means a daily value of from $750 to $1500 to the well. This is not the im- portant question. however. The real proof of this well lies in the faet that our Midway forty is a proven terri- tory. We can sink ten wells, yes, fif- teen wells, to the acre. We have forty of such acres and this is just a sma!l proportion of our holdings in this fleld. ' We do not intend to etop now that our well has come in, but the crew that has been working upon the No. 1 well will now shift their operations to Buick Midway. No, 2, and ancther crew will be installed as soon as possible upon Buick No. 3 and No. 4 and Now 5. The pipe lines,. as you know, are close to our property. We will have no difficulty from this course. Our oil, as it flows from qur;well. will flow from our settling tanks and vats into the great pipe lines close by and from there on north to Frisco or west to the Pacific Coast, where it will be loaded into vessels or trains of cars and sent to market. We have repeatedly told the public that we would ‘bring in this well and that it would be a big one. We have made good our predictions. The tel- egram we received and quoted above bears the announcement only that the well has come in. ceive full and complete information from. Mr. D.

We to'd the prnblic to buy Buick -Oil. fe told you to do this when the shares were 50 cents, and thousands of stockholders did so. We now tell you to do the same when the: stock is 75 cents, for it is cer- tainly going higher. The income which we ‘réceive from the sale of oil from our first well will not only enabie this company to sink its future wells in a more .rapid man- ‘ ner. but this single well has had the influence of stamping the Buick property as Buick and valuabie prop- erty. The ulck ol! stock h3s° now been taken out of the non- -producing class and is a _ producing company. We do not jntend to rest upon our oars, but we do say .that the No. 1 well proves absolutely the value of the Buick o/l holdings of €40 acres.

We have | to'd you about the Buick Midway. we now tell you about our 560-acre tract and our 40-acre tract. The of] men of the Midway field are wildly enthusi- astic over the bringing in of the Buick Midway No. 1 well. This well has been the center of attraction for the past ten days. and our reports from the ojl fields have proven to us that utmost excitement has prevailed among owners of oll lands adjacent to the Buick property. Upon one side of us the Southern Pacific is réported to have paid $3.000.000 for a tract of * land; upon the otner is the California Midway. which has already brought in ane gusher and ts now down is a few hundred feet of oj! sands. bringing in of the Buick Midway wont has proven this entfre ° region. No wonder there is excitement. - For thoee who are lucky enough to own land in this vicinity one can feel almost cer- tain that every acre will net them thousands upon thousands of dollars per day in income.

What Is A ppendicitis?| This disease—appendicitis— has become so common and so much dreaded that it may be well to throw a bit of light on Its real cause, symptoms and rem- edy. What is the Appendix? It is called in medicine—the Vermiform Appendix — which means worm-like appendage. It is a worm shaped projection ap- pended to the large intestine, and situated in the right groin, In its normal: state it is about one and one-half inches wide and six inches long and is of the same general structure as the intestine. What is its Function? Its use seems to be-to furnish a fluid, a lubricant found nowhere else in the intestinal tract; this probably explains why those who live through the operation for its removal are never quite well and suffer from constipation. ~What are the symptoms of Chronic Appendicitis? Any ab- normal -condition of pain or; weakness in the intestinal tract,] constipation, indigestion, bition ness—all are danger sigkals; What are symptoms a : Appendici itis? Griping

Pains are accompaniéd by nausea and vomiting, with bowel trouble— either constipation or diarrhoea. Is an operation always neces- sary? No. It is usually ad- vised by surgeons in spite-of the fact that seven cases out o% ten are fatal. If at the first signs Fruitola and Traxo are taken, according to directions, the dan- ger is averted. What does Apendicitis mean? As-the suffix ‘‘itis’’ always indi- cates inflammation—Appendicitis is, therefore, an inflamed condi- tion of the appendix, caused by the wedging in of particles of food in process of assimilation. In normal health these pass in and are easily ejected, but sometimes through inertia of the system or chronic weakness of the bowels, undigested scraps—grape seeds, or bits of food lodge m-the ap- pendix, causing inflammation. and swelling, much as a splinter festers in the hand.

sweep the entire digestive tract tree! of all foreign obstructing matter, re- moving the cause of inflammation, the swelling and the pain. This makes way for the complete and rapid recovery which takes place just as removing the splinter from a sore finger allows it to heal. Fruit- ola does the most of this cleansing in one night, but absolutely without pain, griping or the least shock to the mostgsensitive person. Fruitola is nutritive, soothing and healing in Pts action—quick but never drastic. .Then follows the strengthening toning, regulating effect of Trazo.

By GRANT RICHARDSON. MONG the heroes of America must be numbered those who, in 1878, composed that noble and self-sacrificing volunteer band known as the Howard Association of Memphis, Tenn. It was in that year that the most dreaded scourge in the South, yellow fever, killed one-fourth of the population of Memphis within the space of 60 days Memphis was literally being wiped out by the disease. Many persons had fied, but thousands remained, either from choice, and these were the heroic ones; or from necessity, who were the poor. The Howard Association was composed of the = 8 flower of the city, brave men whose vow was _to bury the dead, nurse the sick, feed the hungry, and succor all those in need. It was named after John Howard, himself a brave man, who gave up hig life in 1790 in a Big Bridge he heard a feeble wail, and stopped to listen. In a moment he heard. it again. - It was so small and weak, this little wail, that he shrugged his shoulders and passed on. He had taken only a few steps, however, when the thin wail again sounded in his ears, and he looked back. No kitten was in sight, and none was behind the fence that enclosed a_ cottage that stood back from the street in a small yard. The cottage seemed deserted, as many homes were in Memphis in those days of the scourge, but wnen once more he heard the wail he located - it in the little house. “Somebody has run away and left a kitten locked in,” he mused and; tired though he was, he pushed ’ back the rickety gate and went up the neglected walk. The windows of the house were closed, and when he tried to open the door he discovered that it was locked. He stood thus uncertainly upon the doorstep thinking that he was foolish to

Russian camp in an effort to mitigate the horrors of epidemic fever, and he has ever remained an inspira- ion to brave souls. In the fall of 1878 tte conditions in Mem- - ,phis were unimagin- ably horrible. even to the m-st gxrewsome mind. ):undreds were dying dsauy of yellow in «the heat, many without medical’ attention. Physicians and nurses were vol- ‘unteering for the work from all parts of the waste his time, and then turned to go away. But come indefin- able inspiration made him hesitate, and while he stoog with head bent, Nstening, heard the wail again. “God!”- fe. ex. claimed. “It’s a baby.” All his training and experience as a How- ard told him. what the cry of a baby | in a deserted house in Memphis meant in those dark days.

“Tra ie touts of 192. ‘Bopler street, a. “working Howard, while in the: heat. of fever and. in: the absence of fhe nutsé, got out of his. bed’.and. crawled -on ‘his bands: aud knees to a washbow!l. of ice water and-drank. over a quart and finished off with:a half*bottle-of port wine, and yet he recovered.” After the epidemic passed and peace was. ré- stored to Memphis Ira’’'rout took his place in the: world and forgot all about the little girl te had rescued from death in the Charleston avenue cot- tage. in the ‘Chureh House, and he was young and the world called. He had done his duty as a Howard,’ now it--was for him to #0 forth’ and face: ‘bis¢ destiny: One day, not long after the .. epidemic: had passed, Mrs. J.D. Quigley, the wife of a promi- nent ‘ citizen of Memphis, visited.the.-Church ‘House. There among the childfen. whom. death had bereft of parents, she found: a pretty little “girl about 18 months old. Mrs. Quigley had recently lost by death her own child, a little girl of about the same age, and her heart went out to the little.orphan. There’ was no record of the child’s name. All that was known of her was that she had been rescued by. a Howard from a house’in Charleston avenue. By the proper process of law Mrs. Quigley‘ adopted the little girl as her own and took her to*her home, and she was christened Theodosia. . ®

It merely had been ‘part of the day’s: work }: for a Howard. -He had known that she was safé’ 5 -hous® in Memphis.

A tall, dark young man, debonnair and with delightful manners was introduced to her. He completely carried the young debutante off her feet.. He was older than the other young men ‘who had been paying her attention, and, to her, He had had was a man of the world. and .soon he traveled, he experiences, he had had her to himse}f, for he had been as charmed ‘with her grace and beauty and - she had been attracted by his ripe man- ‘hood, innocence The reader will, no doubt, have guessed that this was Ira .:Trout, developed into manhood from the brave, stripling who had served as a Howard during the terrible epidemic of 1878. -As they sat that afternoon beneath the trees ‘{. with the sweet smelling shrubs and flowers about them he told her of his travels and adventures in the world, and, like Othello he wove the spell that has always been potent with women, She loved him for the dangers he had passed. He told her he was a theological stucent but temporarily a traveling man—“drummers” they were called in that day—for a wholesale drug To a young and carefully- guarded Southern girl the very word “drummer” suggested something adventurous. and highly in- teresting. She was enraptured with her new acquaintance. He. was head over heels in love with her: conducting one of her most subtle exploits into

The spectacle was enough to try the — courage of even the stoutest heart, but a Howard had sworn to do his duty at whatever cost. He went into the room and picked the child up in his arms, and as it wailed again, but so weakly, Trout. knew that if its life was to be saved he must act quickly. Leavifg the dead for future tmfnistration, he rushed from the house with the starving infant. In a street close at hand he knew a negro wom- an who was trustworthy, and to her he carried the baby and gave it into her charge to feed and care for, giving her a coin to pay for the service. His work for the day was not done, as he had thought. He had yet another of the dead to bury, yet another of the living to succor. Trout went to the headquarters of the Howard Association and had a ¢offin taken to the cot- tage on Charleston avenue. Lifting the poor dead thing that once had been a happy mother, ? with the sheet on which it lay for a shroud into the coffin, he had it borne away. When night fell he took it, with the rest of the day’s toll of ne to the trenches outside the city and buried Now, surely, his day’s work was done, he the baby he had providentially heard wailing awav almost its last little held on life, and had rescued.

As she grew up at school she developed both in beauty of mind and ‘body,’and the Qnigleys were véry happy in their littlé daughter. . She went to the ‘best schools and she was trained in the punctilioug deportment of the young Jadies of the South. ' There came a time' when it was thought meces- sary to tell her the truth about her birth, and the little girl took a lively interest: in finding out ev- erything about her parents that she could. ‘She was given the few little mementoes of her mother that had béen saved from the cottage in which she had been found, but there were not many, hor were they very illuminating on the subject. As she grew into a. beautiful young woman- hood she was sought for her accotnplishments no less than for her happy’and lovely temper. She had many admirers among the. young men. of Memphis, for none of whom she displayed more than a friendly interest. She was 16 years old and in the’very flower of her girlish beauty bordertng. on womanhood when Mrs. Quigley decided it was time to introduce her into society. It was in the spring, and in Memphis nature was in full flower, i* was the loveliest season of the vear. - tustead of giving a house. reception Mrs. Quigley decided that it would be more fitting to. introdure* her fair rpry, daughter. to her friends amid the beauties of the garden . A garden: party was decided upon, therefore, and one afternoon the youth, beauty and chivairy of Memphis. were bidden to the Quigley home. ° Theodosia Quigley; beautiful in a filmy white gown and with flowers in her soft brown hair, was soon surrounded by the young men. of the town, who. vied with one another in holding’ her. attention. Then entered upon the s~=ne one who from the first seemingly had been destined to Be the hero of Tuiegdosls Quigley’s life. Everyone regarded her as, the; ‘was permitted to call on her occasionally and to the field of romance. It was romance self. When Mrs. .Quigley learned of the attachment she was not at all pleased. To her, Theodosia was still a little girl, even if sKe was 16. The thought of her falling in love with a ‘man twice her age was preposterous. But Theodosia had 4 way with her that was irresistible. Very - often ‘she got what she wanted against the wills of her foster parents, for she could cajole a_ bird out of a tree, they said. The result was that her stalwart, dark admiref bring her bouquets. ‘He was allowea to talk with her on the verandah in the presence of the fam- ‘ily in the soft Southern evenings, when the seont of the magnolias was in the air and the mocking ‘birds’ Were pouring forth their souls in song in ‘the. tall trees about the house He sat beside her in the garden when fireflies sprinkled the dusk with golden glowing sparks in feeble rivalry to the stars that glowed in the dark violet arch overhead, and from the distant city came the soft strains of an orchestra playing “Annie Laurie.” It was in such romantic settings as this that the tall, dark, handsome stranger whisperéd love into the ear of the young girl, and she listened eagerly. But the Quigleys knew more of the ways of the world than the young girl, and they discouraged her lover’s attentions as much as possible. Her youth, and the disparity between their ages, were the main objections, however, for Trout was of an excellent family, suecessful and he was pre- paring himself for the Episcopal ministry . Fate, the crafty spinner of life threads, was not to be spoiled of her little plot, however, and eventually Trout found opportunity te tcll the; young girl his Jove and propose marriage. Tremulously she accepted him, for he seemed so big and dark and altogether wonderful, coming to her out of the great world of which she knew so little. When. Trout went to Mr. Quigley to ask for the hand of his daughter he did not &nd his wooing such an easy matter. He was in the presence of & man whi’ knew the world ag well as he did. Together they.talked the matter over. As evidence of his rectitude Trout told Mr. Quig- ley that he Was a’lay reader in the Episcopal ‘Church at Arlington; Tenn., and that he was stuaang for the ministry. Quigley objected to a marriage on account of ie youth of his daughter.

And writing, ehanging and. reject- ing, the commander and Sal labored over a suitable circular. The -letter heads were already prepared with the capital of “The Mexican Mutual Col- onization Léague,” headed with a dollar sign followed by a figure seven and what ciphers the page would hold. “No, Sal,” said the commander, “vou can depend on the ‘come ons’ doing the obvious, but the success of graft depends on an intuition of when to do the obvious and when to Ao the otner.

Romantic Story of Suzanne La Homa (Mrs.. Horace ¢ McDaniels) frien’ Protege of Madame

Schumann-Heink—Taken Abroad by F amous Singer for Training—Dramatic First Appearance Upon Return to Oklahoma—Beautiful in Face and Figure. O be born in the obscurity of a comparative wilderness, to live isolated through girlhood from opportunities to study art in its high- er forms, even to witness its ex- pression, though heart-hungering for all that song and music bring to those fired with ambition to achieve fame assinger or Virtuoso, and then one day to feel one’s hand clasped and to feel one’s self lifted by one so renowned as Madame Schumann- Heink, might well be thought a mid-summer night’s dream, a tale or fairies. Yet all this has come to Madame Suzanne La Homa, known in private ife as Mrs. Horace McDaniels of ell Okla., who, Madame Schu- mann-Heink declares, has a gift of song that with study should make this Cherokee woman a singer of in- ternational reputatiton. The story of Suzanne La Homa is tinged with romance. It is said that handsomer women than those of the old. Cherokee Indian aristocracy mav not be found. Is there a Cherokee aristocracy? Bluer blood never ran in the veins

homes. The plantations were de- stroyed, and their owners reduced to poverty. Fire and sword darkened the land. At this day, among the older Chero- kees there are bitter hearts because of the Civil War, a strife from which they tried to hold atoof, as an inde- pendent government, but in which fate euguifed them despite their struggles to escape. Suzanne La Homa is a daughter of the distinguished Cobb family, Chero- kees of mixed blood. Though mar- ried she is in the bloom and. vigor of young womanhood. When she was born, Indian Ter- ritory was popularly looked upon as the place where civilization turned a somersault into space. It had be- come the hiding place of refugees from the states. It was sc thinly settled that daring men cou!d dwell indefinitely in its hills and moun- tains without fear of molestation. These characters, however, warred mostly with their kind—white men, usually deputy United States mar- shals. The Chérokees themselves lived in peace and security, the in- truders knowing the danger of rousing the anger of the people that owned the country. Naturally, it may not be suspected that there was much art nor talk of art in Indian Territory in those days, save among the exclusive families whose fortunes. had been recuperated since the war. It is a fact, however, that a large general mer- chandising store at Muskogee as far back as the ‘80s maintained & private gallery of paintings by well-known artists that cost $40,000 to $50,000. It was the wonder of strangers who happened that way.

MME. SUZANNE LA HOMA have followed the ways of civiliza- tion. They were intelligent, enlight- ened people when they came West of ‘the Mississippi in the early thirties. . During their residence in Indian Territory as one of the Five Civilized Tribes, though long remote from cities, the wealthier families estab- - lished a condition of society that was ‘the admiration of cultured travel- ers. The Cherokees maintained their * own academies and seminaries, wnere the boys and girls of the nation were “maintained and educated at the ex- pense of the tribal government. The jand of the Cherokees was in direct _ .eeommunication by steamboat with St. Louis and New Orleans, the passage ' from Fort Gibson, on Grand River, *> teading thence to the Arkansas, be- —% ing made either to St. Louis or to _» New Orleans in seven or eight days. _ » River traffic was constant during the .

Yet Suzanne La Homa had dreains of becoming a great singer. sne studied diligently, and her sweet so- prano voice responded beautifully to such instruction as limited means and her restricted environment brought within her reach. Friends praised her, and predicted a splendid future for ner. But this did not satisfy the aspir- ing little Cherokee*singer. She knew that outside Indian Territory was a great world of light and music where the trumpets of fame were blowiug, where great opera houses were thun- dering with the bravos of audiences wild with enthusiasm at the songs of men and women who stood bowing and smiling through tears of joy in a rain of roses; This was what Suzanne La Homa saw in her day dreams. But, alti, none of these happy men and wom- en upon whom the garlands were falling had achieved their success without patrons. And there were no patrons in Indian Territory. Ard there were no big opera houses in Indian Territory. In truth, Indian Territory had not risen above the “kerosene” theatrical circuit—it was “Deadwood Dick” and the gory glut of Lincoln Carter’s masterful thril- lers. Unhappily, Suzanne La Homa could not shake the tangled web of her dreams and bring down :a shower of (ed, and all newspapers were gold—she was poor in purse, how- ever rich she might be in voice and ambition. The days grew gray with waiting, and finally aespair ‘walked beside her. Then something happened, some- thing so glorious in the life of ou- zanne La Homa that if she were standing at this hour the prima don- na at a premier opera performance in Milan the happiness of the moment would be slight compared with the rapture of that other moment. The local newspaper announced—this was about four years ago—that Madame Schumann-Heink was coming to Muskogee in concert. There was doubt that this could be true. No singer like |Madame Schumann-Heink had ever ventured into Indian Territory, save to pass through on a swiftly moving train in the luxury of a private car. But Madame Schumann-Heink did ‘come to Muskogee, the same gener. ous, warm-hearted, sympathetic Madame Schumann-Heink beloved in the capitals of Europe no less than in America. Withcfear and trembting Suzanne La Homa embarked upvun a Caring enterprise. She would go and ask Madame Schumann-Heink to re- ceive her—yes, to hear her sing, and tell her if it was worth while to make the strugzle. The great contralto stretched out her hands in welcome to the little Cherokee woman. She embraced her, possibly because of the peculiar beauty and winsomeness of Suzanne La Homa, in whose cheeks the darker strain of the Cherokee had mingled with the pink and white of the Cau- Casian; whose eyes were black and brilliant, whose hair hung over her face like smoke, and whose lips, slightly pouting, wem red as cher- ries. Suzanne must sing for madame. Suzanne ‘could scarcely stand or breathe, and her throat—alas, her throat, was as if she had inhaled the heat of the desert. Suzanne trembled. and Madame smiled. Madame knew the symptoms and the cause, and she knew the remedy—kindness. When Suzanne began singing she felt as if she were singing for an old friend. Madame Schumann-Hein heard the Cherokee woman tothe end of her song, and then took the tearful cheeks between her hands and toid her that she had a wonderfully beau- tiful voice, but a voice without train- ing. Did Madame advise further ef- fort? She did. Suzanne La Homa’s little head whirled with happiness. Then Su- zvanne La Homa, perbaps next day, was lifted into the sky by a fairy godmother — Madame Schumann- Heink asked Suzanne to go with her to Eurone where she'could get prop- er training. That wit a white day in the Chero- kee country for all that knew S§Su- zanne Li; Homa. So Suzanne went away with madame, and the two crossed the sea and settled in Berlin. Suzanne was two years with madame. and in many Chero’ee homes are photographs sent from Berlin show- ing Suzanne and Madame sitting in

ZIEM, the veteran- painter, MI gives a picturesque account in ®*the Annals of Paris of the in- spiration sought by Chopin for the composition of his famous “Funeral March,” afterward inserted in his piano sonata in b flat minor. M. Ziem, who is now aged 90, re- lates that when little more than a boy, after a dinner party in a friend’s studio he had the idea in a fit of high spirits to bring from a cup- board a skeleton. -The Prince. de Polignac,. who was of the party, in- sisted on placing the skeleton on a music stool and guiding the bones of the fingers over the keys of the piano. This was in the romantic "30's, and the savor of the exploit was much appreciated. Not long after Chopin called on M. Ziem, “to seek respite after an appalling night passed in a struggle with ghosts that had stroked him, had twined round him and sought to entice him to the underworld.” The recital of hig nightmares re- calle@d to M. Ziem the piano per- formance by the skeleton and the Prince de Polignac. Chopin shuddered; then he asked “Have you a skeleton?” M. Ziem had not, but promised to obtain one that very evening.

Inspiration of Chopin’s “Funeral March” “Then,” he goes on, “what had been only a frolic became something grand, agonizing, terrible. Pale, his eyes burning with fever, Chopin wrapped himself in a long winding sheet and as he sat at the piano held against his bosom the sk« :eton, the specter of his sleepless nigits. “In the lugubrious silence the notes steamed from the piano, broad- ly, slowly, overwhelmingly—an un- imagined music — the ‘Funeral March.’ It was created there before our eyes, and it dragged our souls into unholy rhythm. “Then the strains died down. We rushed toward Chopin. He had put forth so prodigious an effort that we thought he had fainted in his winding sheet.”

Milking machines, invented in New Zealand about four years ago, and since much improved and developed in Australia, are coming into quite general use in the latter country for milking dairy herds, saving much time and labor for those engaged in dairying.

The number of foreign residents in China is 88,310, of whom 3168 are Americans. SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH— FEBRUARY 19, 1911. \ ( ( The purse of an aspiring singer is proverbially lean, and Suzanne eLa Homa came home to recruit her re- sources. Her home-coming was heralded among her kinsmen, the Cherokees, and a welcome was planned for her. She should sing at the local opera house. This wWwaé about a year ago. The wealth and fashion of Muskogee was there. Then tragedy stalked across the path of Suzanne La Homa. The night before her appearance, her brother. Benjamin Cobb, was waylaid an‘ murdered in the streets of Musxo gee by unknown persons. Friends decided that Madame La Homa should. not be told of the tragedy until after the performance, as friends had come from many towns to hear her sing. Her apartments were closely guard- kept from her. She was taken to the thea- ter in a closed carriage. . Peering out from behind the cur- tain Madame La Homa gazed intent- ly at a vacant box, and = asked: “Where are my mother and my sis- ter? What has befallen them? They promised to be here, and I cannot sing if they do not come.” She was told that her mother was slightly ill. There was no time for further inquiry, the bell having rung. The curtain went up, and Susaune was bowing to her friends. The audience stood to its feet. Each person knew of the tragedy, and that Suzanne was in fgnorance of it. The audience shifted uneasily when Suzanne, all unconscious of the coincidence, sang, ‘“‘He Is Gone, Gone, Forever, Forever, Forever,’ Bem- berg’s Hindoo song, portraying a woman’s sorrow over the death of the man she loved. An old friend of the Cobb family. Dr. F. B. Fite, was waiting at her hotel when the singer returned to he: apartments. She ran to meet him, overjoyed at her success, and asked — if he was pleased with her sing- ng. Dr Fite filled with emotion. placed his arm around Suzanne and accom- panied her to her apartment, telling her as best he could how she had de- lighted her friends. He shrank from the ordeal that awaited her. Suzanne’s husband was bes‘de her when Dr. Fite falteringly told of the brother that lay cead and. of the mother and sister weeping beside his body. With a moan Suzanne sank to the floor unconscious. When she revived she asked to be taken to her mother. The cup of gladness that had been raised to the lips of the Cherokee singer: changed to one of Litterness and sorrow. In the months that have followed, Madame La Homa has been singing in concerts, preparatory to going abroad and finishing her muis-cal education. Everywhere the Cherokees have thronged to hear her. At Talequah, the old tribal capital of the Cherokees, established when they first came to Indian Ter- SH seg

ritory, many in the audi- ence were full. blood Chero kees, unable to speak or understand English. But they could feel the sweet- ness of song, and they were proud of this woman of their blood and tribe. Madame La oma is the first Cherokee to gain such praise as a singer and it has been pro- posed that she be made the beneficiary of- a sum o f. money to be contributed by her people to assist her in her studies abroad. This proposal has not taken def- inite form. It is the ambition of Madame La

- Southern Exchanges Discuss Protective Measures— Curious Hypothetical Case of Wallingford, Dawe & Co. | T would be easy to explain ev-

erything at once if this were a literary shocker instead of an international complication, in- volving the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy and other countries which may - be found by referring to any reliable map of the business world. Two or three lines in small type would then be enough to make the sequel clear. First the civilized world would be introduced, doing business on confi- dence in its own honesty. Then the firm of Wallingford, Dawe & Co. would be introduced beginning busi- ners confidentially with the civilized world at Sparta, Miss., and nearby ~ points. Finally at the opening of the last chapter, Blackie Dawe Esq., the leading international magnate of - Sparta, Miss., would be dimly seen, : fi . as a. 7 catching the night express at 11:30, and joining Wallingford in the Pull- man, where they have $15,000,000 of test the assets of the civilized world in a Valise, which Wallingford is holding between his feet. Everything would then be over ex- is 3 cept the shouting, as the civilized ' world *joins in a search for its misa- ing assets. combined with a hue and ery after Messrs. Wallingford and Dawe, who disappear from interna- tional finance and fade out of ih- ternational history. In fiction, this is the séquel, until the next story is ready to open with thrilling illustrations by the same | artists and shocks, manufactured by the same author. Tt is much harder to reach the sé- guel in fact than it is in fiction. In fact, valises are not manufactured to hold $15,000,000 in the assets of the civilized world. It is not authen- ticated history that the night ex- press stops at Sparta, Miss. It may even be hard to find such a station on the maps of the railroads which are being sued internationally on the theory that they are responsible, if _ mBsets to the extent of $15,000,000 or @ny similar amount disappea: during their operations as common carriers. _ In fact, there is nothing to be told @xcept a plain tale of how the South- - ®rn cotton crop moves out into the _ Civilized world, on bills of lading.

PRESENT DAY INHABITANTS OF THE SITE OF THE LOST ATLANTIS DEFVING THE UGHTNING AS AJAX 010. “4. TRE OLD DAYS the Desert of Sahara, Leo Frobenius. a German student of race types, has found evidence that he believes establishes the exist- ence of the legendary continent of Atlantis. He asserts that Atlantis was not an island, as _ the Grecians believed. He places it in the north- FE “tne ‘dese: on the data iecerer’s fringe of western part of Africa in a territory lying be- tween the Mediterranean and the Gulf of Guinea. And he is of the opinion that-the Athenians of old invaded Atlantis many centuries before the _ venerable priest in Egypt gave to Solon the story of the great ‘island of the sea which was sub- merged and which Plato later described in the “Critias,” According to Plato, Atlantis was a continent “lying over against the Pillars of Hercules,” or me rocks of Gibraltar, as they are now called, and of greater extent than Lybia, which is the larger part of the African desert, and Asia Minor put together. Atlantis was supposeu to be connected with - Europe by a chain of smaller islands. It was -_ peopled, according to the legend of Plato, by a fighting race which was powerful enough to array itself against the forces of Egypt, Greece and all ba the countries bordering on the Mediterranean. The. fighting men of Athens met the Atlantians in battle and overthrew them. ‘Then came the earthquake and ‘with it the cataciyvem, and following the wave tumult Atlantis was no more. Poseidon, the Greek equivalent for Neptune, who was the god of the sea, ruled over Atlantis: The woman who shared his throne was an island nymph. All this, acording to well preserved fact or weird and ingenious fancy, relates to a time = = than 10,000 years ago; but the German r feels that he hes linked today w'th that - unthinkably remote yesterday by his dis- ‘on the desert border of an ancient bronze @ man bearing the insignia of Poseidon. ign Mongolian type, the f res are oulded, the workmanship wilting “that of anything credited in the land where it was un- earthed. a” The cast is hollow. .

Togoland, where the Frobenius expedition made its base, lies between Dahomey, a name some- what familiar to musical comedy, and Ashanti, on the gold coast of the Gulf of Guinea. Twenty centuries have civilized the natives of these countries only with respect to the partial elimi- nation of chops and steaks cut from the human as articles of genera] diet. When one mentions darkest Africa and neglect to specify the postoffice he means either Dahomey or Ashanti. They are both pronounced brunette alike as to color, deeds and past. Before England France and Germany, inspired by ilove for the black brother, not to mention the gold hidden ir. ‘the hills, began to use him as a target for both artillery and infantry he was as happy and con- tented a slave as ever wore a ring in his nose. When King Toffa, to mention only one of the long line of breech-clouted monarchs, gave a sylvan 5 o’clock tea, which, according to rule, required the sacrifice of 115 or more slaves, there were always doubie that number waiting in the line anxious to be decapitated. At the betrothal of a princess, which polite ceremonial was conducted by the King and the young gallant in bronze gladiatorial costume, now somewhat familiar on the vaudeville stage, 500 Slaves were stricken from the list of who’s who. At the death of a king, which was generally due to a form of cannibal dyspepsia, no less than 2000 of the serf rank and file were told off to accompany the potentate on his journey into the unknown. Sudden and happy deaths marked every festive occasion. In these countries there have always been two classes of women—the stay at homes and the mil- itants, who are called Amazons. These latter are famous fighters. Instead of daughters of the regiment in Dahomeyland they have regiments of daughters. A generation ago they fought witb bows and arrows. The Queen’s Own Archers “were marvelously fair shots. Apart from the facial characteristic there are some things in common between the blacks of those border countries and slaves of early Greéce. Women fought in the ranks in prehis- toric Greece. Human sacrifice was not unknown there, as Homer bears witness. Still, the Ger- man explorer does not seek to trace a connection between the West African as he has been known for a few hundred years back and the “to the last drop of blood” militiaman who hallowed the field of Marathon and made Thermopylae a house- hold word. One thing may be said with perfect freedom on the genera] su',ject of the new location of the lost Atlantis: The dimens'ons of Africa are such as to permit of a very considerable country being dropped down there without crowding. The saad of the Desert of Sahara can hardly ages\| be res “<by one who has not had his atten- ‘walled to its geographical limits. - » west its length is about 3000 1 nerth to south more wan 1000. It is a territory comprising 3.500.000 square miles, thus equaling in size nearly the whole of Europe and exceeding the area of the United States. Nor is it destitute of population, for though no census has ever been made of its wandering tribes, <regorpeey place the population of the ple are either engaged in a form of trade suggesting grand larceny or buy and sell camels on the hoof. In the Western Sahara, to-the south of Algiers, there stands in the middle of a sand plain a triumphal arch erected, as the Moors say, in honor of a great victory gained there over an enemy that isn’t named, but which, ‘as recent explorations prove, was really erected ‘Sv a Roman Emperor to celebrate his victory over the natives. The once great city of Timgad has just been dug out of the desert sands. Over to the eastward two thousand miles. or more in the Lybian Desert, which is the larger part of the all-embracing Sahara, there still can be seen now Modr Saba, the ruins of a once great city. Its walls aré crumbling, but the pro- portions of its fortifications, which are still well outlined, indicate that the enemies of the country, whatever it was called in that long ago, were not far away. Also down in Togoland, on the southwestern border of the desert, there are fortifications sug- gesting a knowledge of warfare such as was possessed by the people on the more eivilized side of the Mediterranean. When a continent or an island a thousand miles or more square has been mislaid for 10,000 years it is only natura] that there should be some speculation as to where it originally stood. Wise men and addlepates. ancient and modern, have devoted a lot of unproductive thought to Atlantis. Plato’s description that it lay to the west of the Pillars of Hercules seemed to fit about the position of the Canary Islands, although they are but spe@éks on the deep. When it was found during the last century that the oceas bed north and south and west of the Canaries lay nearer the surface by many hundred feet than it did elsewhere tne opinion was expressed that the -1b-

POSEIDON, WHO ACCORDING TO GREEK MYTH “OLOGY, RULED OVER THE LOST ATLANTIS merged plateau was the o1.,.0al Atlantis and the Canaries the lofty mountain’ tops over which the engulfing waters dia not rise. The late Dr. Augustis le Plongeon, whose lab- ors as an Egyptologist and archaeologist: added not a little to science, was not content to accept an ocean bound environment for Atlantis and the destruction of all of its people. He believed that Atlantis was not far away from the South American continent and that when the floods came and Atlantis disappeared a hardy band escaped to the new land. : He sought to prove this. He claimed that a monument near the Mexican coast of Yucatan known as the Pyramid of Xochicalco was built by the survivors of the cataclysm as a monument to the lost country. He claimed that the sym- holic inscriptions on the pyramid’s base tol.i the history of the flood. He could decipher hiero- glyphics with the ease that a messenger 1eads a dime novel.

The number of automobiles in Paris has in- creased from 648 in 1900 to 13,034 in 1909, the latter figure represénting over a quarter of the total number of cars in the whole of Franee. But although, taking France as a whole, the number of automobiles has increased from 2932 ‘in 1900 to about 50,000 at the present moment, the number of horses has also increased in the same period by about 300,000.

COBB The Sunday Post-Dispatch Humorist paled from pure licorice to chocolate and, even in some instances, to the complexion’ of a new meerschaum pipe, but the savants say he is now tending back again in the direction of what you might call the fast shades. Meanwhile we con- tinue to be the meiting pot of the white races. “There’s room-for millions and billions more in Texas alone, if they’re only willing to learn to vote the Democratic ticket, and the great stretches of the Northwest will welcome all who shortcomings of great men.’’ ean see their way clear to having a McSomebody for a political guide and an Oleson for a governor. It doesn’t take long for the aliens to catch the spirit of our institutions. One generation on the soil makes them the Yankiest of the Yanks or the Southernest of the Southerns. “I don’t think our Anglo-Saxon strain is in danger of being corrupted. You see, we have all the known varieties of the Anglo-Saxon strain in our common blood. So why should the “Ger- man Anglo-Saxons of the corn belt, and the Irish Anglo-Saxons of our Eastern seaboard, and the Sp a . . . . . af ee Al + os eae Saree funeral. indomitable Scotch Anglo-Saxons down South, and the stalwart, fair-ha'red Scandinavian Anglo- Saxons of the Minnesota wheat fields, or even our English Anglo-Saxons—I think he settled somewhere near Boston—why, I repeat, should they, or any of them, knowing as they do that the Anglo-Saxon strain is so firmly intermingled in our breed, object to the coming of a few more millions of Russian and Polish and Hungarian and Italian and Greek Anglo-Saxons or, over on the Pacific side, even a few Japanese and Chinese Hindoo Anglo-Saxons? “The public school system, the plan of beneficent politics that is practiced in our larger cities and the fact that people never yet drew a gecgraphical line when it came to failing in love and getting married, will work out all the little racial differences between the numerous varieties of our Anglo- Saxons in due time. It doesn’t take the Irish stew long to become a New England boiled dinner or a Maryland bash on our shores. And what is a pretzel but a doughnut that never iad a chance?” “But the critics point out that the ‘tandards of our statesmanship have beep lowered since the time of the fatr.ers of the republic,” I interjected. “That, too, is open to some argu- ment,” said our First President. “Con- sidering the temptations, I think I am prepared to venture the assertion that statesmen grade up about as high and grade down about as low in one country as in another. I think we produced about as many greedy ones per acre in the first 10 years of the nation as you can show in the last 10. Taking them by and large, my young fellow countryman, you'll find that statesmen average up the same as the run of the raw oysters you get with a sixty-cent table d’hote dinner— about so many g6od ones and 80 Many bad ones in every half dozen.” “I had always supposed that the early patriots were as honest as the day was long,” I said. “So they may have been,” was the answer, “but we used to have some very. short days, especially in the winter when the legislatures and Congress were in session. And even the long days were often followed by very dark nights. ‘‘History is a kindly-recorder.

The play was in the repertory, but the young Belasco had never seen his lines, and they were how on the way up to Virginia City. It was winter, and a year of big snows, anc the party had the ill luck to be snowbound, David himself was in bad luck,-and all his theatrical waistcoats which his mother had made him were in pawn and he was needing a lift very much More than his need was his ambition to please Mrs. Bowers, whom h2 idolized and _ revered somewhat as he would have idolized a madonna And he says he was a bashful chap then. and very naturally he quite worshiped ker for being so interested in him.

There is no smile, however, in Mr. Be- lasco had always wanted to bring himself to the point of looking on some time at the dissection of a humAn heart. He says he has a horror of ueath and of the dead, but he wished to experience this emotion of seeifig a dead human heart. And when he got the word to come, from his friend the surgeon at.the hospital in San Francisco, he learned that it was a poor girl he had known himself, and who he had seen was on the downward path for a number of years. It was just one of those “human” cases, human mistake, human failure, human degrauation.

And when he begins to tell about his boyhood in San Francisco, and how his dramatic instinct was ust fostered and nurtured by the stories he used to hear from his father, who was a Forty-niner, you can see where were the beginnings of the inspiration for such produc- tions as the “Girl of the Golden West.” Following certain early experiences San Fran-

A HORSE CENSUS FOR PARIS HE census of horses in Paris recently taken’ by the Minister of War shows that that noble but misused animal is ‘becoming r eearcer in the city not inaptly called the jet of horses.” — “Whereas in 1899 there were 91,261 horses in aris, the 1910 census shows that the number a® dwindled to 75,463. About one-half of the crease appears to be due to the replacement the horse by motor propelled vehicles by the omnibus company and a big firm of jobmast- ers. The diminution is most marked in the wealthier districts of the capital. Thus the Bighth ar- oe tae Deere: oe cg Nb ages stages the quarter north of the year only 2054 horses, as against 4125 in 1899, The omnibus company has now 9449 horses, wherees in 1899 it possessed 15,823. By next year the number will be reduced to about 2000

It was a hard part, a cruel one, Mr. Belasco called it—the kind which simply would not be learned. He struggled dnd struggled, but as fast as he had a page memorized he had forgotten all the others, and no matter hoy he tried he couldn’t master the thing. He stayed up all night with it, and then told his friend next morning he knew he should never be able to learn it. They all encouraged him, and he tried harder still. Then he began to be in despair, because. the thought of disappointing Mrs. Bowers was too terrible, and yet he could not learn the part. Again his friends braced him up, and again he stayed up all night with it. and then in the middle of the night it came to h ~ that he would never be able to learn the thing, and he knew also that it would simply kill him to disappoint Mrs. “Sowers and to have her lose her faith in him. Fhere was but onc thing to do. He would burn down the theater. He planned it to the minutest details. He would wrap himself in a blanket, and down at the foot of some stairs behind the stage was a litter of old boxes and paper, and there he would drop a lighted match. And lest he be caught doing it, he would pretend to be walking in his sleep, and learning his part. So he concealed the box of matches under his arm, and, holding the part before him, he went noiselessly down the stairs It was perfectly quiet, and no one was about. He reached the bottom of the stairs and made his way to the place where the boxes.were. All was quiet. He was just reaching for the box: of matches when a light seemed to rise from the depths of the earth, and right at his feet a broad Irish brogue demanded, ““Who’s there, then!” And the incendiary stood revealed. He remained “asleep” and stared before him successfully, and the Irishman got him upstairs to his room again, where by degrees the young actor regained consciousness, and then, what with the strain and all, he very naturally and realistically burst into tears. Then others came in and helped him to brace up with hot coffee, in the dark. everything, but there on the stage he came to later, with the com- pany standing about him. He had fallen asleep on the floor. Mrs. Bowers arranged it that he should mere. ly read his lines that night, and have an- other day in which to learn them, and she said she would herself make a little speech at the end and explain YOU LASCO’ how the part had been NG BE snow-bound and had A “WALKING.

BIRDS’ NESTS THAT ARE GOOD T EARLY every boy and girl who studies N geography learns that the Chinese think that soup made from nests of birds is a great table delicacy. Many children wonder at this, seeing that the birds’ nests in our own country are anything but palatable, writes Anna Billings Gallup in the Museum News There are, however, plenty of birds’ nests good to eat, and the Children’s Museum in Bedford Park, Brooklyn, now hag on view two of these re- markable structures, with the even more re- markable little birds that make them. These tiny creatures of the air belong to the swift family and are related to our chimney swift, although they are called swiftiets because of their small size. They are only three inches long ahd their outstretched wings scarcely ex- ceed seven inches.

They breed in limestone caves, very numerous in their part of the worid, the famous Simud Puttin or White Cave of Northern Borneo shelt- ering countless thousands. This cave is jointly and_yet alternately used by swiftlets and bats, the mamals lodging there by day and the birds by night. The nests are firmly attached to the walls, many hundreds in a single cayern in remote recesses where the light never penetrates. They are formed chiefly of mucus, which is secreted hy the large salivary glands in the throats of the birds, and when dry looks like isinglass The nests of pure mucus are of first quality and command a high price. These are up in packets with strips of rattan, and general- ly weigh one catty, or one and one-third pounds. A catty averages forty nests and is sold for $9.00,

They con- not produce her exquisite coloring or the vivacity of her expression. She has brown eyes and thick egold-red haif, and there is the color of rose in her white cheeks that deepens as she talks. A full length portrait of Miss Pearson by C. Everett Johnson was one of the successes of the Paris Salon two years ago. She has a most attractive- ly modeled mouth and perfect teeth. Perhaps she knows it; for she smiles a great deal. But it isn’t quite fair to intimate that she knows she is a beauty, for she is unaffected and simple, and if she is conscious of her beauty she doesn’t show it. The flattery of Paris hasn’t turned her head. Now, all this is a great deal to say. Why? Be- cause there are plenty of girls in Paris who are pretty and who know it. -There are others who think they are pretty and want others to know it. , And there are those who are not pretty at all, but they! have learned that style, that Parjs- ian something; the verve and chic, which io af them almiest pretty, ‘thought if they had stayed in Fort Wayne, Ind, or Adrian, Mich.,: nobody Denvér, is referred to as ‘‘the prettiest girl in Paris,’’ she is placed among a galaxy of notably beautiful Western American women who have at- tracted the attention of the French capital. Some of these are of other days, but if Miss Pearson’s rights to the crown of beauty were put to a test among Parisiennes today some ether Western girl or ‘woman would probably be her chief rival. American beauty, and particularly that of the ‘‘Golden West,’’ seems to thrive there. : Because the social life of Paris and London is closely interlinked, many American girls who are usually thought of'as being residents of the latter city are equally well khown in Paris. Among the names of Western women of whom this may be said are those of Lady Curzon (Mary Leiter), Mrs. Colin Campbell (Daisy Leiter), the Countess of Suffolk (Nannie Leiter), the Duchess of Manchester (Helena Zimmermann), Mrs. Maldwin Drummond (Mrs. Marshall Field Jr.), Lady Charles Woseley (Anita Murphy), Lady Burnaby (Mrs. Preston Gibson), Lady Thomas Hesketh (Florence Sharon), Lady Newborough (Grace Carr), and many others less well known. | More generally associated in the public mind with the Parisian atmosphere ‘may be mentioned a number of Western beauties, such as the Duchess de Chaul- nes (Migg.Shonts), the Princess Braganza (Anita Stewart), the Princess Ponia- towski (Elizabeth Sperry), the Countess Festitics (Ella Hagin), the Princess Hatzfeld (Clara Huntington), the Princess Colonna (Eva Julia Mackay), Mary Daly, Viscountess Deerhurst (Virginia Bonynge), and the Princess Chimay (Clara Ward).

Funny A tourist of this city who has just returned from a visit through the South relates this conversation, which he overhead between a‘ farmer's wife and a negro alleged to be looking for work: ~ “Be there any work around here, missus?” asked the applican “Well! we do need a man,” replied the woman. Do you want work?” “Yessum.” : “Well, I'm looking for a man to do the chores around the house, always be polite, willing to work and never be fmpudent.” “Did you say you was looking for a hired man, missus?” asked the negro. : . “Yes: why do you ask?” “Well, it ‘pears to me that a hired man aint what you want. You want a husband.” JOHN DONOVAN, 1008 Jackson street, Scranton, Pa.

A fashionable woman had a bit of statuary bearing the inscription “Kismet.” A housemaid dusting the room asked the mistress: : “Shure, ma’am, what's the m’anin’ of the writin’ on the bottom of this?” “Oh, you mean ‘Kismet.’ It means ‘fate’”’ replied the mistress.

E. AUSTIN, 117 East Reed avenue, Bowling Green, 0.

An Irishman whose wife had been buried that morning was found playing the fiddle in the evening at a dance, and when some one in a tane of surprise asked, “Why, Pat, what are you doing here to-night, didn't you just oury your wifé this morning?” ence, “Oh, she was no blood relation.” NELLIE M’MANUS, 1420 Twenty-fourth street, Detroit, Mich.
