There was . shoemaker met not
long ago, says writer in Chambers
Journal, who had Q most elaborate
method Of keeping his "books. " Against
the wall Of his Workshop he had large
board erected, which he painted black.
Into this board he used to drive hob
nails, tacks, brass and steel rivets and
other nails used in his trade to repre-
sent work done. For instance, the sol
ling Of q pair of boots would be repre-
sented by small piece Of leather tack
cd on to the board by means Of brass
rivet, but If the boots were hobnailed,
then hobnail was used instead Of the
brass rivet. A steel rivet indicated a
patch on the sole, and patch on the
upper was shown by the addition OF a
piece of thin leather New boots were
shown drawn in chalk. us were also the
hieroglyphics representing the custom
eIs' names.
Some popularity of manner, dress or
surroundings was chosen to indicate
whose account it was The parsons &C.

glasses was represented by sketch Of
them; q couple Of circles, one blank

A beer barrel was the innkeeper's sign;
the village pump did duty for the milk
man, while the schoolmaster was per-
sonated by the drawing of cane. The
old man was great wag, but he never
had his accounts challenged in spite Of
their quaintness.

PURE FOOD AND PROGRESS.
Congressman Brosius' Address BefOrt
the Pure Food Congress.

Congressman Brosius' Address Before
the Pure Food Congress.
Washington. Jan. 20.-Representa-
tive Marriott Brosius, of Pennsylvania,
delivered an interesting address at the
session of the national pure food and
drug congress yesterday. He said in
part: THE principle which underlies
the pure food legislation we are seek
ing Is that is the duty of government
to supply as far as It can a health pro-
ducing environment to promote COM
mercial integrity and personal honesty
and advance the condition of human
well being. There is connection more
intimate than we suspect between the
peoples food and their follies, their
meat and their morals. their stomachs
and the state, the digestion and the ma
tional destiny. The outcome of the pol
Icy of expansion will depend in no in
considerable degree on how well the
and wholesome food.
The advantages Of pure food touch
US more remotely than some other
things, for adulterated food rarely
kills outright and 1t takes the appre-
hension Of murder almost to stir some
social inertia. waken the masses from
their lethargy and give them tongue to
swell the cry for what they need and
congress will enact 1t into law and put
II on your, statute books"

Burglar shot Police chief

Somerville. N. j.. Jan. 20.---Chief Of
Police Manning Crow was shot and
perhaps fatally wounded early yester-
day while chasing burglar. The chief
was in his home. when he heard the
noise Of an explosion. Going out to
investigate he learned that the safe in
the office of Swift & Co., Chicago beef
dealers. had been blown open by dyna-
mite. As Chief Grow reached the office
Of the company he saw man coming
out. He called on the burglar but the
latter refused to surrender. The chief
chased him for block, and then the
burglar stopped suddenly. turned about
and fired at Chief Grow. the bullet
penetrating the lungs. The burglar
who did the shooting got away. The
thieves did not have time to rifle the

A NEW WAR MEASURE.
To Pay Expenses of Sick Soldiers
While on FurlouXh.

While on Furlou0h.
Washington, Jan. 20.-Representa-
tive McCleary. Of Minnesota, yesterday
introduced a bill authorizing the secre-
tary of the treasury to reimburse Of
flcers and Ten of the army and navy
who served in the war between the
United States and Spain for necessary
and reasonable expenses incurred while
on leave or furlouEh for medical at
tendance, nursing and medical supplies
necessitated by disabilities incurred
through military or naval services In
said war. When seen last night Mr..
McCieary said:
Il was prompted to introduce this
bill by feeling that equity demanded
it. Numerous instances have come to
my attention where men were sent
home because sick and incapacitated for
duty. The folks at home nLrsed them
back to life and rejoiced In the oppor-
tunity of caring for their loved ones.
But In many instances the expenses
for medical attendance and supplies
have been a charge that the family
could i'll afford. 1t seems only just and
right that those expenses should be re-
ilnbursed by the government in whose
service the disabilities We're incurred.
If the soldier had gone to a military
hospital the charges would have been
paid by the government under existing
law. But there is no law authorizing
the payment of such expenses for SOL
diers absent from their commands on
sick leave or furlough. To grant this
authorization is the purpose Of the
BILL"

Concerning Appendicitis.

DR.. Fl. R. Lemen of Alton, Ills, says:
II often meet people who have such a
wholesome fear of appendicitis that they
do not eat grapes tomatoes, figs or
fruits containing little seeds because Of
a fear that these seeds will lodge in the
appendix and cause appendicitis
whenever l hear a person say he
denies himself fruits because of this
fear take occasion to assure him that
it is useless to take any such precau-
tions. If you like fruit, eat it, for ap-
pendicitis, seven in ten instances is
due to other things than seeds. Little
particles of food Of any kind can lodge
in tho appendix and produce appendi-
citis. even bread crumb being capable
of it. In addition, great many cases
are caused by something entirely out
side the appendix, something causing
the inflammation.
ITO all would say, go ahead and
eat anything you like, for all precau-
tions You may take are not going to
save you fsom appendicitis if you are
going to have it.. The inexplicable
things to which the majority of cases
are attributable cannot be guarded
against, and it is useless to fight the
minority"

CHARLES STEWART PARNELL

How the Great Irish Leader Came to

Charles Stewart Parnell was % years
old before he made his entry into the
political arena. How the step was taken
is thus described by Mr. R. Barry
O'Brien in his biography of the great
Irish leader
Zone night during the general cleo
ton of 1874 Parnell dined with his Sis
ter. Mrs. Dickinson, in Dublin. After
dinner Captain Dickinson said Well,

The Philadelphia to Protect American
interests There.
Washington, Jan. 2O.--The navy de-
partment has prepared orders for the
cruiser Philadelphia to proceed to
Samoa at once to represent the United
States interests there. Meanwhile If
any vessel more quickly available can
be found, one of Deweys fleet for in
stance, it will be ordered at once to
Samoa to answer the urgent appeal Of
the United States consul there. 1t was
stated at the department of state yes
terday the dispatches had been receiv-
ed from United States Consul Osborne,
at Apla, but as to their nature the
officials had nothing to say beyond
that they went to confirm the news
dispatches. Admiral Kautz, the COM
mander Of the Pacific station, Is now
on board his flagship. the Philadel-
phia, and 1t was stated at the navy
department that he would accompany
that ship to Samoa.
San Diego, CAL, Jan. 20.-Admiral
Kautz landed yesterday at Coronado
from the Philadelphia, and was shown
the dispatch stating that his vessel
would be ordered to Samoa. He said
It would be doubtful If the vessel would
be sent on so long voyage in view of
her present condition, which he would
make known to the department. Be-
sides. he said. her bottom Is foul and
needs cleaning and repairing badly.
as the speed Of the ship is reduced at
least two knots thereby. The vessel
would first have to go to the drydock.
Under no consideration" said Ad-
miral Kautz, "can l get away from
here under weeks time for Samoa.
but II We must go will leave on orders
for San Francisco in day or two. If
another ship is secured we will prob
ably remain here a week before going

4 SONG OF FORGETTING.

The hours ns play thinss were-ah. mel
And laughter lived In every word
What time that love was young and glse
In every pulsing heart throb stirred
The wild plum blossomed in the glen.
The rabbit raced across the plain,
And frightened birdlings Aurriod when =
Our hounds and horses tramped the grain.
Down in the grove beside the spring
We rested when the race was won.
And listened to the wood bird sing
A lullaby when day was done.
But, ali, you wandered from my side
And paved the long lone lane Of years
With memory stones and loss too wide
For sobs to soothe with memory tears
And now you come-come back to me
To fill, as then, the old time plnce-
Where is the magic Of your pleaP
What change has come upon your facet
Oh, friend, to lose and still love on.
To live on chaff instead Of grain
Ia better than to feel love gone
Forgetting is the keensst pain.

Sam HOdgkins' Will.

"sam Hodgkins, says the Lewiston
Journal, twas in his day and genera
ton much respected citizen of Han
cock, and, like his son Dudley, better
known rs Uncle Dudley, was well
known all over the eastern portion Of
the county. An amusing story is told
by some Of his old acquaintance to an
eastern Maine paper of how he once
made his will. 1t happened to be done
at time when the old man was in one
Of his happiest and most generous
moods, and, realizing no doubt the IN
certainty Of human life, concluded that
he would bequeath to his seven sons
Dudley, Zachariah Noses Sam. Shem,
Gee and Elliot-his worldly goods and
possessions.
'He was very anxious that the will
should be legal, and was careful lest
any Of hts children might be left un-
mentioned in some way. So the old
man drew up the instrument, in part
like this: Half to Dud half to lack
and all the rest to Moses. 6hem is
blind, Sam is poor, Gee has moved to
the Falls Sullivan Falls) and Elliot is
the baby As the will was never pro-
bated it answered the purpose inst as
well as any"

experts report that 1t will be the best
station that can be had in San Fran

miles nearer the entrance to the bay
than is Mare Island, and will save

Berlin Papers Think the Dispute May
Take Serious Turn.
Berlin, Jan. 20.-The news from
Samoa has been received with fore
boding. The Lokal Anzeiger says: All
this. doubtless, signifies an appreciable
quarrel, and with the unceremonious-
ness which the Americans have affect
ed lately toward us it may easily take
serious turn. The Samoan question
has always involved leading danger"
The Vossische Zeitung says: THE
situation will become even graver
when the American warship arrives at
Apia. 1t is said that the Washington
department of state has instructed the
United States consul general there, L.
W. Osburne. not to trust the German
consul. Evidently the United States,
who are least interested In Samoa
among the three powers, do not mean
to respect Germanys paramount in
terests. Germany will have to show
firmness, all the more so as our po-
sltion is made the worse by the evil
dent desire of England to help the
United States, so as to retain the lat
ter's friendship"
