Reporter Discovers the Reason why
Men Are the Most Regular Customers.
A handsome blonde, apparently %
years old, with a finely rounded fig
ure, held on her knees the nude foot
of a gentleman twice her age.
She was a chiropodist and he Gus
toner who called regularly once q
month. Nimbly handling her cuticle
knife, steel file and emery pasteboard
she trimmed a calous corn from his
big toe, Strengthened his little toe nail,
filed all the toe nails into uniform
shape, applied polish and then col
lected a dollar from the patron with
the ease and grace of a cherub. He
went oil smiling.
To News reporter she said:
IL can't say that the gentlemen out
do the ladies in looking after their
hands and feet Our revenue from
the gentlemen is probably larger than
that from the ladies, for we solicit
ladies' patronage by visiting their
homes, and the gentlemen all must
come to us.
ladies are more particular than
gentlemen about how their nails are
trimmed, but the latter are more reg
ular in their visits for treatment. Gen.
tlehien who take unusual interest IN
their finger nails come once week.
| find that the ages of the gentlemen
who come here for nail treatment vary
from 30 TO G5. Younger gentleman
seldom give the condition of their
hands or feet a thought Females
look after their nails from childhood
up.
I'VE trim nails into the round.
pointed and almond styles. The
pointed style leaves the finger nails
as sharp as a pin. Gentlemen gener-
ally prefer the round style We can
do nothing to change the shape Of a
hand.
"Yes, Think chiropodistry is on the
increase Young girls generally wear
common sense shoes, anG, conse-
quently, have no trouble with their
feet; but when they enter woman
hood they encase their feet in tight
shoes, which beget corns, ingrowing
nails, etc. Take seat and Ill ex-
hibit my skill on one Of your hands,
then you can compare it with the
other and witness the contrast"
The News reporter complied, and
the blonde submerged his fingers in a
bowl containing warm water and cas-
tile soap. After moistening the San,
she took her cuticle knife and cut off
the skin covering the base of the nail.
With file and emery pasteboard she
rounded the nails, aud then applied a
bleaching acid, which gave the nails
a bright appearance. A cosmetic was
the next application, after which .
powder was busted on the nails, and
by rubbing them with the palms Of
her hands a beautiful gloss appeared
on them.
There now" she exclaimed as she
rinsed the hand in warm water and
dried it with a towel, haven't ] effected

of corrugation.

ing OF your tihger nails into parallel

The Cowthorps Oak.

The largest tree in Great Britain,
and one of the mos. famous, is the
Cowthorpe oak, in Yorkshire, which
is believed to be some fifteen hundred
years old. When Evelyn wrote his
''Silva," in the Seventeenth century,
Its circumference at the ground was
IS feet, but later eIrth was banked up
around it, which covered some con-
siderable projections and reduced its
girth. At the beginning Of the last
century its branches overshadowed an
area OF half an acre Of ground. The
top or leading branch fell at some un-
recorded date, curiously slipping down
into the hollow trunk, where it re.
manned. In the last century one of
the main branches which was blown
down proved TO be 80 feet i'm length
and yielded five tons of timber. When
carefully measured by DIR. Jessop in
1929 the girth Of the tree at the
ground was GO feet, and al a yard
above As feet; the chief remaining
limb was 80 feet long. and its circum-
ference feet and the height of the
tree was AS feet. II was then hollow
TO the top. For many years saplings
raised from this tree were sold in pots
by the villagers for as much as a
guinea apiece. II is now a venerable
ruin, but most picturesque in its de.
cay. 1t stands in a green paddock,
carefully protected from injury, with
its ancient limbs supported by props.
An idea of its size may be gathered
from the statement that at least forty
persons can stand within its cavity,
and that its circumference is greater
than that of the Eddystone lighthouse,
which was confessedly designed on
the model of an oak Garden and
Forest.

Dr. Cronin's Knife Found fin the Posses

 CHICAGO, Nov. 3O.-''When will these disclosures cease?" exclaimed Chief of Police Hubbard, as an important piece of evidence in the Cronin case came to his knowledge.
 Barney Flynn is the policeman who weeks ago was ordered to arrest De. tective Coughlin for complicity in the murder.
 To-day Flynn remarked to his supe. rior officer that there was little matter he had forgotten" that might be worth looking into as duplicating Dan CoughIin.
 Flynn said that on the night o1 Coughlin's arrest two pocket-knives had been found in Dams possession. ''At Dams request," locked them uI in the Fidelity Safe Deposit vault fol safe-keeping.
 Chief Hubbard visited the deposit vault and secured the two knives. They were introduc ed in court and positively identified by T. T. Conklin as having been the property of Dr. Cronin. Officer Flynn swore as to how they came in hi: pOSSeSSiOn

REEDS ADVANTAGE.

Thomas B. Reed has an advantage of great importance in being considered in the lead in the race for the speakership at Washington. There are seventeen southern members of the house who seem to appropriately represent the con- stituencies that sent them. They do not declare for any candidate, and are waiting to see what kind of trade for committee places they can make. But there is one thing they are more anx- ious to do than anything else. It is to be sure they vote for the successful can- didate for speaker. Personal prefer ences on their part don't count parti- cle so this end is attained, and they will be very wary about bargaining with a candidate who is in danger of being left. For these reasons they are likely to be in position to be solid for Nil Reed at any moment while he has the lead in votes for the speakership. These representatives have not been country men of the immortal Flanagan fol nothing.

AN ANCIENT HooslER.
Daniel Frederick. Who Was Born in 1509
 Stiu on the Earth.


 Still on the Earth.
 Daniel Frederick, wio lives on a farm four miles east of Vincennes, Ind, is one hundred years old. He walks with a VI tic cane, and is not bowed with age. He steps with a surprising alacrity, and ho&rs with distinctness and answers with a promptness that is remarkable. His face is not full, nor is his body bur dened with corpulency, but in every movement he manifested the wire and endurance of his physical organization. His mind has always been clear, and his life has been comparatively quiet and uneventful. Indeed, he has been per fectly contented with the quiet life of farmer, which perhaps accounts largely for his longevity. His short whiskers under his chin were quite gray if not white, but his hair is still nearly black and thick upon his head. It was no lit tie astonishment to hear that he had never worn spectacles and that his eye sight had never failed him. He said he never had what many people call their ''second eyesight."
 His appetite is as good as it ever was. and he sleeps as peacefully as 8 child. His health has always been good except on two occasions, the last one of which was nineteen years ago, when he had what the physicians called a fever. His fathers name was Louis Frederick and his mothers name May Mary. They came from Tennessee to this county when the Indians still skulked through the country and killed unsuspecting farmers as they followed their blows. He was horn in KnOY Countv OctOher 16, 17S9, the year Washington took the reins of government under the present Constitution, therefore he has lived un- der every President this country has had since the beginning. He was born and ''raised'' on the Louis Marchino place in Johnson township and has all ways lived in the country. Youngsters now," said he, don't know what hard work is. Sec my young days, worked hard, minded nobody's business but my ! own, and maintained my mother and grandmother with these hands for forty years. The best of farm laborers then | only got S6 per month, and in harvest | time when extra pay was given we only l got 50 cents day. We used reap-hooks then and plowed with wooden mold 1 boards. We raised just as good corn 1 then as now, but not so much of it. Corn then was 10 cents per bushel and pota- 1 toes the same."
 MT. Frederick had but few school ad- vantages in those days, but he learned | to read and write. Last June fifty-ene years ago he was married to Miss Rhoda | Farmer. She is the mother of sixteen | children, six of whom were twins. Four l of the twins are dead.

 The Burned-Out Business Men Already
 Looking for Now Quarters.
 BOSTON. Nov. s0.-The burned dis trict to-day presents scene of desola- tion. A portion of the fire department spent the entire night in quenching the big blaze, while a cordon of weary po- licemen are still guarding the ruins. Incoming trains are packed with sight seers, and crowds of people have flocked to the scene, but only few suc- ceeded in penetrating the roped enclos- ure.
 The walls of some of the gutted build ings are in very dangerous condition, and the owners are contemplating rag ing them to the ground to prevent the possibility of accident. Gangs of men have already begun to clear away the debris. Nearly all the burnt-out mer- chants have made arrangements to oc- cupy other stores at once and resume business.
 A party of ten men was organized to .& Co. building for the remains of the missing firemen, Laddermen Loksr and Buckley. Their coats were found buried beneath bricks and timber, and this seems to settle all. doubts as to their fate. A further attempt to find the bodies will be made this afternoon by fifty street laborers detailed by OF der of Mayor Hart. Two more fremen Michael Murnan, driver, and John Brooks, pipeman of Hose No. 7-are re- ported missing and are believed to be in the ruins of the Brown-Durrell building.
 Nearly all the burned-out merchants have made arrangements to occupy stores at once and resume business. Among the spectators at the ruins were 800 girls who were employed in T. Y. Crowell's book bindery, many of whom were the main support of fami- lies, and who have now no means of subsistence.
 One banker in discussing the fire says: ''The burning up of stocks and | merchandise is in effect a sale of them and will result in a short time in | throwing a great deal of cash in our | banks
 Most of the insurance losses are made l by the English com panies, as in the case of the Lynn fire and, as these compan- l ies have no balance here, much new | money must come from abroad. | JOuH S aye AS0uCy cS G1- mates the total loss at s1O, 900, ,OOO. Other estimates arc lower. The assessed value of the destroyed buildings is s796, 600. Individual losers, as rule, are men abundantly able to stand the l loss.
 l The insurance companies are likely
 to profit by the fire in the long run, as l the demonstrate that so-ca1led fire
 proof buildings are not fire-proof, is
 likely to result in property being in
 sured more nearly up to it's full value.
 The aggregate insurance on the prop
 erty destroyed is s, 753, 72O, as nearly as
 can be estimated. Insurance Commis- | sioner Merrill says that with the excep- l tion of two or three of the new or
 smaller concerns there is no probabil-
 ity that the losses will break any of the
 insurance companies.

MIR POwDERLEY's NEW PARTY.

Mir Powderly believes the Knights of join fortune. I've are for the amalgama- tion, body and soul" said he in an inter view in Philadelphia, ''and 1 have good reasons to think the alliance is very ia vorably disposed toward the scheme. On December 8, General Secretary Hayes and Mir Wright of the executive board will meet a committee from the Farmers alliance at St Lewis and discuss tht feasibility of the problem. The principals of the two organizations are identical. Both the Farmersalliance and the knight: are one politically. By an amalgama ton or federation of the knights and tn, Farmers alliance will have about 5000. 900 votes. The officers of the Knights of Labor will readily throw up their offices and be subsidiary workers in the amalgamation. NJ sensible man can disparage the magni- tude and importance of such step. | might mean that the two organizations when combined will wield such politi. cal power as to control the presidential chair. There are in round numbers 500, ,000 men in the ranks of the Knights of Labor, while the Farmers alliance which is merely in its infancy, has over 2,000, ,000 members. I think that if all amalgamation is brought about the American Federation, with its half million followers, the Brotherhood ot Locomotive Engineers, with its many thousands, and other great labor bodies will want to be merged. It will proba bly, mean the birth of new politica party which will have sufficient strength to control the tariff and other legisla tion.'
