The solar system is well illustrated by
the following statements: Lss the sun

circumference Of circle 1G4 feet in d.

size and distance of Mercury. The earth
will be represented by pea on the cir

and Venus BY another pea on the out
side of a 430-foot circle. Mars will be

MODERN coURTsHIP.

They were sitting close together
In a pleasant, shady nook;
They looked at one another
With q loving, longing look.
Then Edwin broke the silence,
And with emotion shook,
As he softy, softly whispered,
Angelina, can you cook?''
His anxious face grew tranquil,
Angelina whispered Yes
His thoughts (of well cooked dinners)
No language could express.
His hand sought Angelina's
In lingering caress;
Then he said, "Oh, Angelina,
Did you make or buy that dress?"
Edwin's heart grew-oh, SO joyful
For she always made her frocks,
And lightly strayed his fingers
Over Angelina's locks
While they gazed upon the roses.
The pinks and hollyhocks.
Then again he summoned courage,
Gould you-knit pair of socks?"
Poor Cupid near them hovered
And he listened in dismay.
Sighed he, Pm out of fashion,
am only in the way;
Out of prints the old, old story,
Self holds universal way!'
Then he wept as Edwin whispered,
Angelina, name the day."

No More Cobblers.

There is no sense in calling shoe
maker of modern times cobbler. The
nearest thing to cobbler today is the
custom made man who confines his at
tention exclusively to that one branch.
Machinery for making shoes in great
quantities and in sections is Of compare
lively recent date, and prior to its adop-
ton the shoemaker, or cobbler, did the
entire business, from taking the measure
to collecting the money. In small towns
and villages he literally performed the
entire process himself, having insufficient
trade to Justify the employment Of an
assistant, and in larger cities he superin-
tended the work from beginning to end
himself. The labor saving wonders Of
the times have practically swept this
man out Of the field, and there are very
few members Of the trade who are really
cobblers.- st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Profitable Fish Raising.


In conversation with an acquaintance

he gave me some interesting notes. He
said: ''It lis mistake to suppose that
there is money to be made raising trout
in artificial ponds for the market. The
chances of raising fish to good size are
SO small that nothing is in favor Of the
undertaking. To a man Of means who
can afford to invest the money and pay

Loss of Teeth Anects Length of Life.

The loss of the masticating teeth be-
fore the thir'ieth year means a shorten
ing Of the life Of the individual of from
two to five years. To know the extent
to which many of these teeth are lost,
even before the fifteenth year, one has
only to turn to the reports of the ex-
animation of the teeth of children in the
schools and orphan homes Of London
and elsewhere. If some effective meas
ures are not adopted for combating the
ravages Of dental decay it looks very
much as t. ough another half century
would find the poorer classes Of English
people practically edentulous before IT,

THE SHIPMANS TALE.

Listen, my masters. speak naught but truth.
From dawn to dawn they drifted on and on,
Not knowing whittier or to what dark end
Now the north froze them, now the hot south
scorched
Some called to God and found great comfort 50:
Some CRASHED their teeth with curses, and some
laughed
An empty laughter seeing that they lived,
So sweet was breath between their foolish lips.
Day after day the same relentlessSun;
Night after night the same unpitSing stars
At intervals fierce lightnings tore the clouds,
Showing vast, hollow spaces, and the sleet
Kissed, and the torrents of the sky were loosed.
From time to time hand relaxed its grip,
And some pale wretch slid down into the dark
With stifed moan, and transient horror seized
The rest who waited, knowing what must be.
AT every turn strange shapes reached up and
clutched
The whirling wreck, held on awhile, and then
Slipt back again into that blaclzness whence
they came.
All, hapless folk, to be SO tost and torn,
So racked by hunger, fever, fire and wave,
And swept at last into the nameless void
trail girls, strong men and mothers with their
babesl
And were none saved7
Ny masters, not a soull
Oh, shipman, woeful. woeful is thy tale!
Our hearts are heavy, and our eyes are dimmed.
What ship is this that suffered such i'll fate?
What ship, my masters? Know ye not?-the
World.

ELECTION OF OFFICERS.

The cemetery superintendent, in an
! nual convention al the West hotel,
spent Yesterday in series of interest
ing discussions. The order of the day
mad been a pleasure trip to st. Paul.
but. owing to the rain, that feature had
to be deferred. Under such conditions
it was thought best to take up that part
of the programme which had been pre-
pared for this evening and tomorrow
forenoon for the evening meeting and
TODAY. The first thing, however, was
election of officers for the ensuing
wear. There was little attempt at con-
fest. andjthe present officers were chosen
for another year. They are as follows:
President, William Salway, superin-
tendent of Spring Grove cemetery; vice
president, L. Mccarthy. superintend-
ent of the Swan Point cemetery, Provi-
dence, r. l.; secretary. Frank Zurich,
superintendent of Woodland cemetery,
Toledo, o. A paper was read by Supt.
George w. Cressy on Vaults" in
which he outlined his views as to The
most suitable construction and arrange
ment of these StorehouseS for the dead
"Remoyal Of Bodies" was the topic as
signed to Fred Won Holdt.
The afternoon meeting was largely
devoted to the discussion of paper
presented by Prof. Samuel b. Green, of
the university experiment station,
"Hardy Shrubs and Their Protection
Against Drought" The application of
this topic, of course, was to the beauti-
tying of graveyards. The paper was
considered by the superintend-
ents as one of the best yet
read before the convention. At
o'clock the meeting adjourned.
Before adjourning vote of thanks was
voted to the newspapers of the city for
the treatment accorded the convention.
Said one of the prominent men among
the number: This association has held
seven annual meetings, but in none OF
them has it received such consideration
on the part of the daily papers, and we
deeply appreciate the fact. hundreds
of copies of the papers have been sent
by members of the association all over
the country"
Today the proposed trip to st. Paul
will occur. The forenoon will be de-
voted to a visit to Oakland cemetery and
the Indian mounds at Como park, and
BANQUET at the Aberdeen will be served
at noon.
The next meeting of the association
will be held in Philadelphia.

TAKEN INTO COURT.

Troubles of the Buckeye Publish
ing Company Coming Into Court.
The Winnebago Paper mills has filed
its petition asking for receiver for the
Buckeye Publishing company, and
Judge Hicks has signed an order to
show cause, returnable Saturday.
The petition recites a long story, in
effect that the plaintiff is a creditor of
the defendant in the sum of SO, 1913, and
that there is about $50. 600 other indebt-
edness, with assets only amounting to
about $500 The plaintiff claims that
some time ago, when it was then heavy
creditor, it refused to sell the defendant
any more paper, unless an agreement
was reached making l. a preferred cred
itor. Then, it is claimed, on Oct. 81.
1892 the defendant made mortgage of
all its assets to F. Parker Veasey, in
trust. and proceeded to issue bonds, 250
in number, at $500 each. 1t is asserted
that these bonds were given without
consideration and are now held as col
lateral security by the assignee of the
Farmers and Merchants State bank to
secure $4,000 of Indebtedness. The
plaintiff will claim that the whole Is a
scheme to get around the written con-
tract of two years ago.

OUT OF THE FIELD.
Day & Co. Not Likely to Cut Any
Logs Next Winter,

j. w. Day, the veteran lumberman of
j. w. Day IL Co., is down from the
upper country. his first return since the
great fire, in which his mills and yard
suffered so narrow an escape. He has
suspended all operations in the lumber
line, and it is doubtful whether his con-
Germ, which annually makes large cut
of timber Oh the upper Mississippi, will
cut any lumber at all the coming winter.
Mr.. Days idea is to raise on 1000
acres of land, which has been selected
near Lake Alexandria, and which, ne
says. is very productive, as much as
possible OF all kinds OF supplies used,
including hay. which is to be worked
into the best varieties of "tame grass"
whereas mostly wild hay is cut, corn,
potatoes, the roots, carrots, turnipS ami
rutaDagaS, cabbage, onions. and. in fact,
all that is used in so'great quantities by
the lumber camps. 1t is plan which
has long been the wish of Mr.. Day to
try in detail, to test his belief that it
was a good stroke in an economical way,
and COED also for labor, as furnishing
work for many the year round. where
employees have, under the old system,
| only winters work. The plan has been
successfully used in much of the opera
lions of the Weyerhauser concerns in
| Wisconsin. it also assists to open the
country, as many good farms in that
| state were first opened as lumber gar

They Must HnstIe.

The board of education met at noon
yesterday to take sonic action looking to
the completion of the Blaine and Low
ell school buildings. The school year
opens Sept. 4, and the object of the
meeting was to hurry up the work, if
possible. Mr.. Norton, of the building
committee, was of the opinion that the
contractor of the Lowell building, hav-
ing been delayed by reason of not being
able TO get material, was not much to
blame. Contractor Eric Lund. of the
Blaine school, be said. however, had no
such excuse, and should be summarily
dealt with.
The result was that Mr.. Jaeger's
resolution declaring that there had
been inexcusable delay in the compile
ton of the Blaine school, and directing
the secretary to notify the contractor
that unless men and material were fur
nished within five days sufficient to
complete the building with due ex-
pediency, the board would do so itself,
and deduct the cost and charges from
the contractor. was adopted. The delay
at the Lowell school was referred to the
building committee, to be reported ON at
the next meeting.

SURPRISED THE HEAD.
A Company Which Assigned and
Didn't Have To.

David M. Gilmore, president and
treasurer of the q. w. Crane company,
which recently assigned. was at the
court house and worked at the figures
in the clerks office. He found that the
debts were but S47.365.l5. Mr.. Gilmore
states that he was much surprised when
the assignment was made, for the con-
Germ is in his opinion perfectly solvent.
The creditOra are taking hand in the
supposed failure, and from figures Sc
cured from the president they will, if
the figures are verified, make an appli-
cation to the court for trustee to run
the business. They assert that they
feel confident that the business is in
shape to run, and they do not wish to
lose it. MIR. Gilmore's figures show
assets, which, at a conservative value,
are worth something over $685. to Off
set an Indebtedness of but tritle over
half that amount. An estimate of val

Samuel Came Back.

A rumor gained currency at Mime
tOnka that Samuel Morris, who is stop
ping at the Monastery, Cottagewood, had
found his last resting place IN the wa
ters Of the lake, but happily this proved
not to be the case.
1t appears that Morris went across
the lake to OronO to see some friends,
and vas about to return home Wednes-
day night when the storm came and he
decided not to go. This morning he
was still reported absent at the Mon
Rstery, and then in consequence Of the
rumOr to that effect his friends came to
the conclusion that Samuel was no
more. Yesterday evening, however, all

live here in the city, but rather by pro-
