Cheese Was Too Old,

Here is a story from the New York
Telegraph: "A few years ago. said
Harry Cunningham of Montana, the
late Charlie Broadwater of our state
gave a banquet to about a score OF
his personal friends. 1t was an elab-
crate spread and one of the chief items
was some 20-year-old brandy that cost
Mr.. Broadwater a fabulous price int
regarding which he spoke with much
enthusiasm. At the wind-up Of the
feast coffee and Roquefort cheese We're
brought In, though the latter was not
commonly down on Montana menus at
that period. Sitting near the host was
Of his special friends, who, after
cycling the Roquefort a trife suspic-
iously, tasted 1t, made a wry face and
showed his plate to n side. You
don't seem to like that remarked Mr..
Broadwater. Indeed, l do not, Char
lie. Your 2~0-year-old brandy is all
right, but I'll be hanged II l like your

other prohibited amusemcnts. The
official vote by which the minority re-
port was accepted recommending no
action was announced as 1913 ayes and
200 nays. Then, to the surprise of the
large audience. on motion of DR.. Buck

the table by a vote of $50 to 253.
Bishop Fitzgerald hen ruled, how
ever, that the question was no longer
before the house. II is extremely i'm
probable that the matter will again he
taken up for action, as the standing
of the Methodist church for the next
four years in regard to forbidden
~amusements will be unchanged.
Samuel Dickie of Michigan then pre-
sented the majority r,port of the com

censured the president for his stand on

In replying with considerable asper-
ity to the invitation to be present at
the Chicago celebration of the ami
versary Of Dewey's victory at Manila,
Duke D'Arcos. the Spanish Minister,
was following the general lines OF dip
tomatic usage. At the time OF Dewey's
arrival in this country, invitations to
his New York reception were sent to
oil members Of the diplomatic corps IN
Washington. After a little conference
they decided that 1t would be improper
that they, as representatives Of ma
lions friendly alike to Spain and the
United States, should manifest interest
In a victory of one nation over the
other. Some Of the diplomatic repre-
sentatives, 1t is said. did not even re-
ply to the invitations.

AMUSING TRICK
Played on n Big Crowd by a PATENT
Medicine Eaker.


II never hear that expression got
'em on a string" said a guest of the
Grunewald last evening, without re-
calling an incident that occurred a
number of years ago In a town out in
Kansas. | was spending a few days In
the pace looking after a cattle deal,
and early one evening a patent medi-
cine fakir put in an appearance on the
Court House square. He was in a fine
" horse rig and had a partner with a
banjo, who 500 drew a big crowd.
Then the fakir proceeded to hawk q
cure-all liniment at a dollar a bottle.
The price was steep and the stuff went
slowly, and / noticed that at each
sale he wrapped up the bottle in q
sheet Of white paper, upon which he
ostentatiously penciled a large cross.
When four or five were disposed of,
he called on the purchasers to bring
up their wrappers and handed over a
crisp dollar bill in exchange for each.
i am doing this simply to introduce
our wonderful pain specific!' he shout
ed, nos the next lucky man to take
a bottle In a marked wrapper At hat
the sale picked up and when he re-
peated the little comedy of selling the
nostrum and redeeming the wrappers
a couple more times, the stuff was go
ing like hot cakes. Men fairly fell
over each other to get to the buggy
and every now and then the fakir
would bawl out, 'Hain't time to stop
just now, gentlemen, but be sure to
preserve your wrappers!' When he had
sold perhaps 400 bottles, and the crowd
was about cleaned out, he stopped sud-
denly and held up his hand for atten-
tion. Now, gentlemen he said, pro-
ducing a ball of narrow pink tape, L
want all OF you who have a marked
wrapper to take hold of this ribbon.
Get in line, please!' The crowd obeyed
with a rush, and presently 400 men
were strung out along the curb, hold
ing to the tape and wondering what
was going to happen next. The fakir
drove slowly up the street, paying out
the tape as he went. Hold on to the
magic ribbon he yelled. Don't let go
Of the magic band The tape was FIVE
blocks long, and when he paid out the
last of 1t he whipped up his team and
vanished In the gathering night, leav-
ing 400 large, ~able-bodied chumps

string. When the trick dawned on
them he was half way to the next

Rochester Spe. New York Mail and
Express: Fred Wilmer. a well-known
and prominent farmer Of Portage, Liv-
ingston county, reports an astonish-
ing occurrence on his farm. On nu-
merous occasions of late ne has found
in his pastures young lambs Of his
herd with their heads completely eaten
away, but not mutilated in any other
portion Of the body. After losing sew
eral In this manner MFR. Wilmer armed
himself with a rife and spent the
greater part Of two days and nights In
an effort to solve the mystery, but
without avail. Monday morning he dis
covered several more lead lambs in
the field with their heads eaten off
and also a dead lamb in the barn. Not
having time to bury the carcass found
In the barn he threw 1t into the yard,
when suddenly, to his amazement, a
~six-year-old family horse rushed up
and commenced eagerly eating his
head off. When the next lamb died

II is everywhere recognized that a
soldier is best paid for doing his duty
by a strip Of ribbon or a pecuniarily
valueless medal. On the other hand,
a badge in itself often spurs on Its
owner to deeds Of valor and honor.
Harry Won Trott, a young graduate Of
the Agricultural College OF the Univer-
sity Of Wisconsin, was among the pas
sengers on a vessel recently wrecked
of the coast of Mexico. The little
Christian Endeavor pin was on his
coat. He threw off his outer garments,
and fastening the pin In his Under
clothes, swan through the shark-in-
tested water and over surf-beaten
rocks to bring relief to the imperilled
passengers. A great crisis calls for
energy, skill and self-sacriice, and
fortunately for the credit Of this age,
1t does not often call in vain.

Tcrre Haute, Ind, was found dead.
Her body was discovered in n pond
near Youngstown, Ind. There were
clots Of blood on the face and her cloth

some time, but has been employed in
the household of a prominent farmer
who lives near the scene of the trag-
edy. 1t is not known whether the
case is one of murder or suicide, but
the people of Youngstown incline to
the belief that the girl met with fou'

JAPAN JOINS IN PROTEST
Objects to the incubation Rule ut San
Francisco.


A dispatch from Washington says:
Through its charge here, Mr.. Keisire
Nabeshima, the Japanese government
has joined the Chinese government in a
strong protest against the compulsory
incubation of japanese and Chinese in
San Francisco with anti-plague serum.
The japanese protest conveys a very
plain intimation that while there could
be no objection to a general incubation
IL such was regarded necessary to pre-
vent the extension OF the plague, 1T
cannot be contemplated that any dis
elimination should be practiced against
the japanese and Chinese. The com-
munications have been referred to the
surgeon general of the marine hospital
service, and it is presumed that the
result will be an abatement of the
rigors Of the quarantine measures now
being enforced in San Francisco.
At San Francisco, May %, the United
States circuit court took under advise
ment the petition of Chinese residents
of the city to restrain local and federal
authorities from inoculating them
against the bubonic plague. 1t is ex-
pected the court will render a decision

The possibilities of the automobile
coat were shown by a family party
which walked down Fifth avenue on
Monday morning. The man wore a
very baggy long box o%vercoat, and his
wife's automobile coat matched 1t in
color, but was even more baggy in its
effect. A little boy and a girl, who
might have been eleven or twelve
years old, walked between the couple
and wore coats which were duplicates
of those of their parents. The coats
were all new and it was evident that
the wearers mistook the attention
which they attracted for admiration.-

WOUNDS PROVE IT.
Harry Burkett Dies without Regaining

The death of Harry Burkett, who
shot himself at Blair, occurred Monday
morning at the Denny hotel. The
young nan had been led into playing
poker and last week it is claimed lost
s@5. This probably weighed upon his
mind until he grew morose and took
the step he did.
His father had arrived from Glen
wood, Iowa, and was with his son
when he died. He did not gain con-
seriousness from the time of the acct
dent to his death, and did not know of
his fathers coming.
Mr.. Burkett had made many friends
during his short stay in the city. and
the entire community feels that a
cloud rests upon them. He was a
prominent member Of the Baptist
church, and until two weeks ago was
