macher, paying teller of the Teutonia
bank, state institution, was shot in

and money scattered on the floor. He
said he was attacked and fired on by
two men and that he had returned the

of the city the men could have entered
and escaped by the rear. The police
have been unable to find any trace OF
the thieves and the bank officers are

Were There No Celtag

Anthropologists are pretty well
agreed that there is not and probably
never was a Celtic variety of man.
There is neither a Celtic type nor a
Celtic race" says Deniker in his work,
which is the latest word on the subject
There is language which has come to
be called Celtic by scholars, but lam
suage may be spoken by any race that
acquires 1t, and how or where Celtic
originated is a mystery. There are
some millions of people in Brittany and
the British isles who still speak this
tongue, but they all differ from each
other in race, presenting the very ex-
tremes of the European peoples. and
to call them Celts as If they belonged to
one race. with the like physical and
moral characters, is perniciously mis-
leading and false.-London Globe.

Mrs. Nation Found Guilty.

Topeka, May 15.-The jury in the
case of Mrs. Carrie Nation, charged
with Joint" smashing. has returned
verdict of guilty. Sentence will be
pronounced today. 1t is the general i'm
preston that she will be released on
the payment of a fine and costs. The
defense made no effort to deny the
truth of the accusation, but tried TO
prove that Mrs. Nation was insane at
the time of the raid. The verdict is a
general surprise, as il was expected
that the jury would agree to bring in
an acquittal. Mrs. Nation was convict
ed for breaking into Ed Murphy's sa-
loon one Sunday In February.

don't get many tips nor half as many
as the men that work here nights after
we've gone home, though they don't
wait ON half as many customers as we
do in the daytime. 1t isn't right, either,
because their wages are higher than
ours, and we can find just as good use
for a dime as they can-better, say.

man gives you all sorts of trouble get
ting what he wants and getting it in a
hurry, and then he gives you a grin, as
much as to say, You're a real nice GIRL

valuable. Grins are cheap and don't go

The Nose For News.


A young man who goes into journal
ism intent on making reputation and
being something more than mere
amanuensis or copyist must have a
prompting love for his work, quick
perception of what is to be seized on
in passing events and the ability ac-
curately to narrate or describe on pa
per that which he has seen or which
has been told him.
But these three essentials are not
provided by any college course. Any
editor can tell true stories of men
from the best eastern universities, men
with trained minds and we'll stocked
vocabularies and vast assortment of
general knowledge, who We're Of no
value in a newspaper office because
they were not able to identify piece
of news even when it was lying in
front of them and beckoning to them,
or perhaps because critical self
consciousness prevented them from
writing simple impersonal account
Of an everyday happening. 1t cannot
be said that such men are inferior"
to the other men who fill the paper
with valuable and entertaining mat
ter. All we can say is that they are
not adapted to this peculiar grind.
They were not "cut OUT to be news
paper men. The sooner they get out
of the work the better.
Fortunately getting out is not usual
ly delayed. The ease with which a
young man bursts into journalism is
only equaied by the superb ease with
which he is sent through the street
door if he fails to show a quick and
enthusiastic grasp of the requirements.
Many are called, and few are chosen.
1t is truly a survival of the fittest-
not necessarily of the best or the
brightest.-George Old in Saturday
Evening Post.

as he heSitated over his words his left

came a pistol. We realized In a flash
what he meant to do, but 1t came so
suddenly that no one could put forth
hand. There was grim smile on his
face as he placed the muzzle of the
weapon to his temple, but he did not
pull the trigger. Outside a thunder
storm had been working up over the
great city. We had heard the low rumble
of thunder and caught fash or two
of lightning through the windows. As
the pistol went up to the mans temple
there came a tremendous crash, fol

way out, had struck our host as he

men ran for doctors, while the others

Chicago, May ID believe May
corn would have been bid to 60 cents
by the shorts this morning but for the
action of Phillips" said corn broker
yesterday. Shorts began bidding for
the May corn at % cents, and on the
way up to 531a cents Phillips sold scat
tering lots, perhaps 100000 bushels in
all. This did not stop the bidding, so
Phillips did some bidding himself. He
bought a small lot at "a cents. then bid
5412 cents for $4,000 bushels. OF course
there was no one to sell it. The shorts
gave up the chase. and the price held
at "a cents up to the close. Phillips ex.
