QUESTION ANSWERING THEIR CALLING

BUT CONDUCTOR PHILLIPS HAS
ONE CORRESPONDENT WHO
ASKS FIFTY-NINE ON ONE
SHEET.
Railroad conductors have about lOC
questions to answer civilly and intel
ligently every day they are in service
but Conductor j. ID. Phillips, of the
Delaware railroad, has a letter which
calls for fifty-nine answers on one
sheet.
The letter Is from a Kansas railroad
man who is in active service on the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific rail
road, and about the first question asked
is: What parody have you on the ini-
tials of your road?. We have Conductors
Robbing Innocent Passengers"
II was at once suggested that the cap
tain answer that question by saying
that while the Delaware railroad had
no such conductors they frequently got
orders to Run Like Hell.
In the closing questions Captain Phil
lips is asked to enumerate the parks
and flower gardens maintained by his
company along its line and if the com
pany operates any electric locomotives

LITTLE INDIANS AT PLAY.


DO Not Lose Their Tempers Like Our
Lord Fauntleroys.
What unconfined joy when the
camera came out to picture some one,
or when we played pa-tol, the game of
the bounding sticks, or the aboriginal
hide-and-seek, says the Land of Sun
shine. Widest of all was the fun when
the fire fights were on and one party
defended the Pueblo, and the
other, assuming to be Comanche, at
tackled it at dusk. Then how we rolled
adobe mud pellets and stuck them on
the tops of our throwing sticks and
iammed a live coal into the side of
each, and sent them hurting into the
onemy's camp until all the sky SEEM
ed to rain shooting stars! And what
perfect spirits! Now and then a fire
ball would find its billet and there
would be a howl of pain-and in the
next breath the wounded warriorling
would be bombarding again with more
spirit than ever and not a whit worse
nature. That is another of the good
things that generally go with the
brown skin-these children of the sun,
young and old, are fit players at any
game for they do not lose their tenn
pers. They give and take, like the
manly creatures nature meant us to
be, and not the peevsh, selfish, intlam-
mable things that civilization has made
us. I would like to see just how long
one of these happy fire fights could go
on between an equal number Of Little
Lord Fauntleroys before there would
be several real fights on hand

An Awful Disaster.

Madrid, October OLA dispatch re-
ceived here from Leyte, one of the
Philippine islands, says that place has
been almost devastated by a cyclone,
that many persons have been killed
and that damage to property is meal
culable.
The cyclone, it is said. destroyed the
towns of Tagleban and Hernanion, on
the island of Leyte, MS well as several
villages. 1t is estimated that 400 per-
sons lost their lives through the disas-
ter.
Advices from Manila say the cy-
clone occurred on October u, and they
add that Carigara and Burugo, on the
estaern coast Of Leyte, have been wiped
out
An immense wave swept inland, en-
quilting villages. Several thousand ma.
tlves persisted at Takleban. The cy.
clone also swept the island of Samar.
The full extent Of the catastrophe is
not yet known.
The town of Leyte, however, sustain.
ed but little damage, contrary to the
first reports received
Later--From the latest reports recelv.
ed the damage is estimated at 100000
pesetas.

Dallas, Texas October 22.-Ths town
was ovelrun yesterday with epaulets,
tinsel, gold braid and brass buttons.
The state fair grounds looked like IL
big encampment big encampment Of
generals, colonies and field marshals.
Governor Bob Taylor of Tennessee
and his staff of uniformed digntaries
got in town at & o'clock Yesterday
morning by special train and found
Governor Cuiberson and staff equally
uniformed, waiting to receive them.
1t was Il case of Tennessee invading
Texas, and the Texans being ready
for the invaders.
All the forenoon the streets and no.
tells were scenes of animated military
cooked hats, clanking swords and
richly tinted sashes. The occasion was
scheduled as Tennessee Day" at the
state fair ana it looked as if Texas
and Tennessee had turned out ON dress
parade. Jupiter pluvlus frowned all
the morning, but Withheld the water
till after the big street parade.
When Governors Culberson and lay
lor and their gaudlly dressed retlnues
were escorted into the state fair ground
at high noon, the crowd present to
greet Tennessee's popular executive
was estimated at from 10000 to $4,000
persons. Ii is safe TO say fully one
half the multitude were natives of
Tennessee, who had become adopted
citizens of Texas. The old rebel veil"
wasn't in It with the hurrahs that pre-
vailed for the first Tennessee generals.
The rain came down as If every depart

not in Dallas. The experimenting and

A WONDERFUL MAGNET. Y

Some years ago, at Willets Point,
New York, Captain King of the United
States army made an interesting exper-
iment. He took an old gun sixteen
feet long, wound it with ten miles of
copper wire, and then connected it with
an electrical battery. The result was
astounding. The old gun, used to re-
pulsion, the synonym of destruction,
only useful when opposed to great
forces, had changed its character COM
pletely 1t now exhibited wonderful
attractive power. Ike cannon ball
TIA once wh1stIed from its mouth, now,
..Dy an irresistible force, leaped toward
it. The iron and steel which 1t used
to repel were now enticed. In short,
Captain King found that the disused
gun was the most powerful magnet in
the world.
1t soon became one of the sights to
see cannon balls, which no man could
lift, rise from the ground to the muz-
zle of the magnet, and it did not take
long to find out that this wonderful
magnet had lifting power of twenty
two tons. One of the most interesting
experiments was to place a soldier
about a foot from the muzzle of the
gun and then turn on the current.
Great iron spikes would jump from the
ground and attach themselves to the
silent soldier, who bristled with them
all over like metallic porcupine Even
great cannon balls would leap up and
hang upon him. There he would stand
holding up much greater weight than
he could ever possibly lift, and all with
no conscious expenditure of strength.
This, which was the natural, seemed
the wonderful part of the scene, and
always impressed the visitor
For the power was not in the man,
but in the magnet behind him. 1t was
simply working through him. and
would always do so as long as he stood
within the radius of its activity. When
he moved away from the magnet the
iron would fall from his body, because
there was no power in him to sustain
it.
There is beautiful analogy between
this magnet and the Great Teacher who
said, II, If be lifted up from the earth,
will draw all men unto me-" and who is
today to mankind the supreme magnet
ic center and fountain of moral and
spiritual force. They who follow His
teachings are made strong to bear bur-
dens they never could bear alone.

First sworn Statement From the Noted
Prisoner-Deciares His Innocence.

Chicago, October % - The gray
light of a cool autumn morning Strag-
gled through the big windows of Judge
Tuthill's court yesterday as Adolph
Luetgert, the man who has been on trial
on the charge of numbering his wife
and boiling her body in vat heard
from the foreman of the twelve men
who have been considering his case for
the past siXty-siX hours, the words.
I'VE are unable TO agree upon a YER

lmperturbable as ever, evincing no
joy at the words, the wonderful nerve
of the North slider was with him to the
good nntured smile on his swarthy face,
shook hands with his son, Arnold, his
counsel and his business partner VIII
liam Charles, and in less than five min
utes was led back to the jail. The jury
was the dismissed and the greattrlal
was over.
The twelve men were divided as fol-

For conviction and the death penal

Behmiller, Hosmer, Shaw, Frasen and
Fowler-9.
For acquittal-EIarley, Holabird and
Barber-3.
Chicago, October 22-The Associated
Press last night obtained the one great
feature missing in the famous Luetgert
trlal-the sworn testimony of the de-
PENDANT himself, Adolph Luetgert.
Standing last night in the gloomy Jail
adjoining the grlm-looking gray stone
court building in which his remarkable
trial had at last been brought to a fin
ish, the burly sausage maker capped
the climax of the extraordinary series
Of events, which began with his sensa-
tional bankruptcy and the alleged
frlghtful dabolism OF boiling his wife
to death at midnight in vat in his
factory cellar
Last night, closely following the final
result of the trial which has attracted
worldwide attention, Luetgert made,
under oath, a statement for the Asso-
ciated Press concerning the fearful
crime charged against him, the first
sworn statement yet made by him, and
the first statement OF such a kind ever
known in newspaper annals.
The affidavit explicitly declares Luet-
gerts innocence. The document in
full is as follows:
To the Public:
The result of my trial, ending yester-
day, is a victory for me, because of the
disagreement of the jury, but am
very much disappointed and very much
surprised that the jury did not bring
in verdict of not guilty.
l did OF kill my wife and do not know
wheer she is, but l am sure that it is
only question of time until She comes
home.
l did not go on the witness stand be
cause my lawyer, Judge Vincent was
bitterly opposed to my doing so and
because he advised me that it was not
necessary.
l am grateful for the tremendous
change in public sentiment in my favor
and time will demonstrate that l am
not only an innocent, but very gliev-
ously wronged man.
