LOCATING THE ROBBERS.

From the St. Louis Star-They tell
this story on James H. Cronin, speak
er OF the house of delegates: THE
other night Mrs. James H. Cronin was
awakened by some noise. and, after
listening for a time, became convinced
some n was in the Cronin home who
had no right to be there. Then the
lady proceeded to rouse James, It
took her some time, as that gentleman
was plunged into slumber fathoms
deep so greatly fatigued through hold
ing up the appropriation bill was he.
But finally the shaking and the
voice of his better half aroused the
speaker. and sleepily he asked:
What's the matter?'
There's a robber in the house,
JIM" exclaimed the wife, excitedly.
and then James rolled over, and as
he settled to sleep again he also settled
the question before the house by say
ing in a half snore:
You're wrong. There's no robbers
in the house. All the robbers are in
the council"

HIS STOCK

P. B. V. in Short Stories-Some
years ago a well-known Philadelphia
broker found himself with a large
quantity of cotton on his hands and
the market rapidly going to pieces.
Ruin was staring him in the face, and
he was, not u~nnaturally, feeling very
much depressed. After the closing of
the exchange one afternoon he was re.
turning to his Office in the company Of
q friend, who was doing his best to
cheer him up, when he was accosted
by a young acquaintance of his, one
of those cheerful idiots who never
under any circumstances happen to
say the right thing. This youth

A DOG WHO DIDN'T GOLF.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
The first contest of the crack PLAYERS
of a newly opened golf field out Wese
was sadly interrupted by the obstinate
conduct of a mean bull terrier. He
took possession Of the second hole.
and defied dislodgment. AS he Is q
robust terrier, with a full set of large
and well preserved teeth, it was
deemed unwise to attempt to dislodge
him by force. Diplomacy was substi-
tuted, but it didn't work. He resisted
all the usual terms of endearment, as
well as the promises of tender steaks
and seductive bones. In addition to
guarding the hole, he took possession
of a ball that happened to roll near
him, and which he worried from time
to time with low cultural remarks.
At last accounts the dog was still
holding the fort, and the discouraged
golfers were debating whether they
had better engage a skilled marksman
to shoot the brute or at once take
measures to lay out a new golf field.

MOTHER GOOSE REpARrEE.

Fro the New York Evening Sun
The Little Boy had been trying to go
into vaudeville, with i'll success. and
he was obviously in a fault-inding
humor as he sat under the haycock
with Bo Peep.
Il fail to see the reason why you
secure such widespread advertise
ment," he exclaimed, pettishly.
Especially" retorted 30 Peep.
when you are SO vigorously blowing
your own horn!"
you neglect your charges shame
fully. I believe ever now they are
lost" he pursued.
"Oh, they'll all come home, like
your press agents, bringing their tales
behind Them" returned Bo Peep,
airily.
Hereupon the Little Boy looked
rather sheepish for an instant. "Your
Iong-continued association with crooks
is corrupting your morals and man
ners," he cried, recovering himself.
At this Bo Peep blushed, but made
no reply. Perhaps, after all, it was
jealousy that made the Little Boy
Blue.

SRBEES -ITTNon
HE WAS ACcoMMOnArFn.

From the London Tit-Bits-He was
a dudish little man, but he had a loud
voice, and evidently wanted everyone
to know what he said. He and a com
panion, who, be it said to his credit,
seemed ashamed of the company he
was in, stood in the hotel rotunda last
Saturday night. The little fellow was
talking about Ireland, and he said
many hard things about the country
and the people. A great big man stood
near by listening to the little fellows
vaporings. He merely smiled until the
little fellow said in a very loud tone:
Show me an Irishman and I'll show
you a coward"
Then the big fellow slipped UP and.
touching the little fellow on the Shout
der, said in a heavy, bass voice:
What's that you said?"
I said show me an Irishman. and
I'll show you a coward said the little
fellow, whose knees were shaking un-
der him.
SWELL. I'm an Irishman," said the
big fellow.
You are an Irishman? WE'LL" and a
smile of joy fitted over the little fell
lows countenance as he saw a hole
through which he could crawl, .I'm a
coward"

DEVELOPMENT OF STEAMERS.
Atlantic Voyage one-ThIrd as Long
as In 1910.

A@00A
as In 1910.
In1840 the Cunard steamship Britain
mia, built of wood, propelled by paddle
wheels, maintained a sea speed of
about So knots. Her steam pressure
was y pounds per square inch. She
was 207 feet long, about 1000 tons dis
placement; her engines developed
about $50 horse power, and her coal
consumption vas about 40 tons per
day, or about five pounds of coal per
indicated horse power per hour. She
carried a full spread of sail. In 1871
the White Star steamer Oceanic (the
first OF the name1, occupied a leading
position. She was iron-built, propelled
by a single screw and maintained a
sea speed of about 141a knots. The
steam pressure was Is pounds per
square inch, and her engines were
compound. She was $40 feet long, of
about 1900 tons displacement. and her
engines developed 5000 horse power.
She burned about Us IONS of coal daily
or about two pounds per indicated
horse power per hour. She also carried
a considerable spread of sail. In 1899
the White Star steamship Teutonic
appeared propelled by twin screws and
without rail power. She is steel built
and maintains a sea speed of about
20 knots, with a steam pressure of 1870
pounds per square inch and with triple
expansion engines. She is about SOS
feet long, 10000 tons displacement, IT,
600 horse power. Her coal consump-
ton is about 800 tons daily. or less
than ~ pounds per indicated horse
power per hour. In 1894 the Cunard
steamship Campania began her SER
vice. She is 600. feet long, 10000 tons
di' placement, $4,000 horse power when
going at her full speed of % knots, and
burns about 500 tons of coal daily.
The new Oceanic of the White Star
line is 704 feet long and displaces over
$4,000 tons. Her speed is about %
knots. The Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse is 25 feet longer than the Cam
pania and has a sea speed of 22h
knots. The Deutschland is $50 feet
long, $4,000 tons displacement, 33 5000
horse power, with a speed of % knots.
1t is to be noticed that to gain about
three knots an hour in speed the dis
placement of the Teutonic has been in
creased so per cent and the engine
power and coal consumption doubled.
In sixty years, therefore, speed has
been increased from 8h to % knots;
the time of the voyage has been re-
duced to about one-third of what it
was in 1910.

Proposal Forty Years old.

A wealthy Glasgow merchant died re-
Gently. He was a most methodical mar
in business matters and his domestic
life was a singularly happy nj In
going through his papers his eldest son
came across a copy of the letter In
which his father had proposed to his
mother some forty years ago. The let
ter inclosed balance sheets of his bust
ness for the preceding five years, and
a clear statement of his financial po-
sition and prospects. 1t set forth his
affection in terms of studied modera-
ton, and asked the lady to enter with
him upon a life partnership. The post
script, however, was remarkable for
it's caution. 1t ran: "P. S.-This offer
will be binding on me for one week

The pope is not allowing the young
king of Italy to pick up all the coin
collections in the italian market. Six
thousand pieces, containing man. rare
papal coins, which were collected by
Cardinal Randi have been bought by
Pope Leo and added to the fine collec-
ton in the Vatican. Many fell into
the cardinals hands in 1852 for their
weigh in silver, when Pope Plus in
troduced the French monetary system
and the old coins were retired by the
papal government.

From the time of st. Paul's young
man of Troas to the recent death of
the gifted son of the Secretary of
State, records of fatalities from fall
ing out Of upper windows are not un-
common. They aggregate a warning
that ought to be needed against the
frequent practice of sitting in an
open window when one is sleepy.
Even to the sufferer from sleeplessness,
the cool night air often brings mo-
ments of drowsiness and consequent
loss of equilibrium.

Wyoming has a soap mine. A de-
post of a whitish material, in COM
posite form, containing just enough
sulphates, potash and pumice to give
gritty essential, has been discovered
five miles west of Newcastle, in the
northeastern part of Wyoming, says
the Denver Times. The deposit lies
in a assure and dips into the ground
like a vein of mineral. The vein. so
called, is Is to IS feet wide and runs
the length of a quarter section, which
for 20 years up to date was used as a
stock pasture. Soon a building of
c~ommodious dimensions, fitted with
machinery that will cut the slabs of
mineral soap into sizes for CONNER
cial use, will cover a part of the
ground.

Portable churches have followed the
portable school house. The Dutch Re-
formed Church of Pennsylvania is con-
sidering the advisability of adopting
them in communities too poor and too
thinly settled to afford a permanent
house Of worship. The buildings are
made of corrugated, galvanized iron
fastened to a wooden framework. The
inside is sheathed with matched
boards, between which and the iron
walls is a lining of heavy felt, which
keeps the building warm in winter and
cool in the summer. Each piece is so
marked and the whole SO planned that
any ordinary mechanic can put the
building together. Such a church, with
a seating capacity of three hundred,
can be built for fifteen hundred dollars.
The portable church, however, is not
an automobile. 1t is like other churches
in that 1t will not "go" unless people
pull together.

old and has a fortune of $4,000. With
$4,000 well invested, Milmore does
not need to work. He works for his
health. He has always been well,
never having had a sick day in his
llte, and he intends to keep well as
long as he lives. So he works for the
exercise that he gets rather than for
the money, which amounts to about
81 or So a week. Mr.. Milmore was born
in Scotland and accumulated his
money in the United States and Can
