Alma, Kan, July 9.-Dick Williams,

MRS. LowNDEseurrERs BREAD

She Is Kept Busy Because of . Curious
Fancy.
Mrs. Lloyd Lowndes, wife of the gov
ernor of Maryland, is engaged in the
beneficient work of curing whooping
cough at Annapolis. says the Baltimore
Sun. 1t would be better, perhaps. to
state that Mrs. Lowndes ID kept busy
responding to the appeals of curious
folklore fancy Of southern Maryland.
In the household philosophy Of that
section it Is gravely stated that u the
mother Of twin children will butter q
piece Of bread for q patient suffering
with whooping cough the little one
will be speedily relieved upon eating
it. Two Of Mrs. Lowndss' sons are
twins. Whooping cough il now prev
alent at Annapolis. These two stats-
ments give an index to her present
troubles. Anxious mothers OF late
have been appealing to the lady of tho
executive mansion in season and out
of season. No social function Is too
important to be interrupted by them.
The door guardian is constantly bring
ing in Macedonian cries for pieces Of
buttered bread. Mrs. Lowndes is too
kind-hearted to refuse to respond to
this curious superstition, and has used
in this way many pounds of the de-
licious butter that is brought to the
executive mansion from the governors

gany county.

Henley-on-ThanIes, July 0.-The Hen

The weather to-day was perfect but
the attendance was not SO numerous as

There was Il feeling of relief, how

the winners We're much heartier than
those given to. any other victors and
emphasized the general Joy that the

There was also much enthusiasm

.Ione. Not candidate for Governor.

Toledo, Ohio, July 9.-Mayor Jones
to-day took occasion to deny the
stories that have been printed to the
effect that he expects to be a candidate
for governor in case John r. Mclean
is nominated by the Democrats.
Mayor Jones states that personally
he is not anxious, nor is he waiting an
opportunity by any sort of disruption
to take the field. He feels he owes the
citizens Of Toledo his services as may
or at least until such time as the peo-
pie of the state demand an independent
candidate. He will not hesitate then
to go into the field for any office where
he can he useful.
1t is thought the feeling will crystal
ize in the state after the Democratic
convention. AT the Buffalo conference
Mayor Jones received assurance that
the combined efforts Of the reform
movement will be with him should he
desire to be a candidate.

In . recent address on vaccination
an English lady physician related
some curious stories illustrating the
prevalence OF smallpox in England Just
before Jenner's time. In advertise
ments for servants 1t was commonly
stipulated that they must be OF the
Church of England and have had the
smallpox" The police, In advertising
for the apprehension Of counterfeit
er. gave as one OF the marks OF iden-
tincation that the fugitive had mo
pock-holes." In letter from lady to
her son urging him to find a husband
for his young daughter. the solicitous
grandmother wrote that she was not
in favor of early marriages as a rule,
but this was an exceptional case, for
Angelina has not had the smallpox,
and at any moment the chance OF her
getting settled in life might be en-
tirely lost. Therefore. 1t is better to
get her married at once"

Ths wonsn Of the Alps LeeA . HarA
Long before the days of boomers
women on the higher level Of the Alps
wore trousers and no one thought any
thing about 1t. says the Kansas City
Times. The Alpine women wear the
bifurcated garment for utility and not
for beauty. as one may Judge If he or
she has ever seen one of these girls
While she is talking to you the Alpine
hsrdswoman Is quite apt to, thrust out
IN ungainly leg. plant a heavy boot
on che neck of goat and stand thus
while she converses. With the ex-
ception of the blacks who endure a.
life of hunger in the heart of Africa,
there is hardly any one In the world
who fares so badly as the herdsmen
and hsrdswomen of Switzerland. Their
fare is meat that has been dried, salt
ed and turned into unsavory leather;
rye bread that Is like blacksned Gin

she must eat but sparingly of these

come to an end before another trip to
the valley can be made These women
breakfast at 2 in the morning ami
then answer in response to the cattle
lowing at the door Of the chalet. beg
ginE to be attended to and driven up
to some favorite Alp. They eat again
some twelve or fourteen hours later,
when the weary tramp back to the
chalet is about to begin. Between
times. with sickles. they reap the long
coarse Alpine grasses which are to
serve as food for the cattle during the
winter. The grass is bound into bun
dies as large as the women them
selves and carried on their backs down
to the homesteads. The winter fre-
wood Is brought the same way. The
chalet. the home Of one OF these wom-
en-. is the most picturesus of any peas
ants dwelling place. but inside 1t is
not desirable. 1t is usually perched on
the crass of the Oberland and is dark,
for the windows are constructed not
SO much to admit light as to keep out
the heavy SHOWS of the winter. In one
corner is low, broad platform with
sacks of hay and couple of blankets
upon 1t. The less luxurious dispense
with the blankets and the herdswoman
usually goes to rest in the same attire
she wore during the day.

claimed, longer have exclusive use of
Railey's beach. At meeting of the
city council tonight, the city solicitor
gave an opinion that the beach was
public property, and that the stone
wall erected across the end of Bellevue
avenue by the association to keep peo-
pie on the beach was a nuisance He
recommended that steps be taken for
the removal of the wall. No action
was taken. The c0ttagers have spent
great deal of money in the improve

land of Mas Afuera, one Of the group
Of islands adjoining Juan Fernandez.
It will be offered at the minimum an
nual rent Of $1,000. to be paid to the

The State Bar Association met at
Colorado Springs on the 7th. The fol-
lowing officers were elected: President,
Caldwell Yeaman Of Denver; first vice
president, ex-Judge Julius @. Gunter Of
Trinidad; second vice president, ex-
Judge 8. q. Downer of Boulder; secre-
tary and treasurer, Lucius w. Hoyt of
Denver. The feature of the meeting
was the address by Hon. Moses Hallett
Of Denver, in which he denounced cor
porations. He said: ''It is better for all
concerned that any stated work shall
be done by 1000 men acting independ
emily, than to have the same work done
by the same men under the control Of
a corporation" Judge Hallett then re-
feFred to the Standard OIL Company
and declared that many young man
had gone to financial ruin under its
wheels, because he tried to buck
against 1t; and that others have become
interruptions in serving 1t. In closing
he said: '.True manhood is q tub on
its own bottom. He paddles his own
canoe. He needs no disguise. He has
no false colors. He fights in open day
light, and he claims always only the
victory of truth and honesty. He asks
only to be put on equal footing with
priest or potentate and mould Of COM
mon clay, and leaves the result to his
good right arm. All hail the day when
the state shall cease to make artificial
men override and Oppress the natural
man whom God made in his own
image" Former Vice President Adlai
e. Stevenson also spoke and was list
ened to with rapt attention, many per-
sons who are not members Of the Bar
Association going out from the city to
hear him.
