Reading Aloud Is Beneficial.

Reading aloud is recommended by
physicians as benefit to persons af-
fected with any chest complaint. The
recommendation is made because in all
cases of lung trouble it is important
for the sufferer to indulge in exercise
by which the chest is in part filled by
and emptied of air, for the exercise is
Strengthening to the throat, lungs and
muscles of the chest. Reading aloud
can be practiced by all and besides
being curative act can be a pleasure
and profit to both reader and hearers.
In this treatment it is recommended
that an overdose of medicine be avoid
ed that the reading be deliberate, with
out being allowed to drag, that the
enunciation be clear, the body be held
in an easy, unstrained, upright posi-
tion, so that the chest shall have free
play, and that the breathing be natural
and as deep as possible, without undue
effort.

Rose from
Poverty

One of the remarkable products OF
our American institutions and an ex-
ample of what perseverance will make
of even the poorest boy is Frank A.
IVanderlip. formerly assistant secre-
tary of the United States treasury,
who has just returned from a Euro
pean trip to assume the vice presi-
dency of New York bank at sal
ary OF $4,000 year. This man of 35,
pefore whom apparently stretches a
great future, is recalled by gray-haired
residents Of Aurora, ILL.,, as bare
loot, hungry-looking boy, whose child
mood was spent in poverty and who
mad the compassion of the prosperous.
AS mere lad he went to work in the
railroad shops of his native town at
wages amounting to 81 per week. The
wretchedness of his own condition, as
compared with the joys of those more
fortunately situated, filled him with
the determination to employ every en-
ergy in the making of his career. At
the bench, beside the trip hammer, in
the smoky, grimy shops of a great
railroad, he studied shorthand and at
night eagerly read everything he could
secure. Finally an opening presented
itself with financial concern IN Chi
cago. He sought it and became in a

A Peerless Opal.

"A fe0rlooS Opbls
The Imperial Opal, as it has come to
be called, was on view the other day
to the agents general and other lead
ing colonials living in London. The
owner of it, Mr. Maurice Lyons, in
vited them to meet him and see it at
the Office of the agent general for Vic
toria Really there are two stones,
but the smaller one is regarded as a
fragment, though not by any means an
unconsidered trifle." 1t is the larger
one, weighing 20 carats, which is the
Imperial Opal. 1t is it that Mr.. Lyons
is wishful of presenting to the king,
for the royal regalia, in honor Of the
establishment of the Australian COM
monwelath. Naturally there was talk
about the opal and its qualities, and
about opals in general. Sir Horace
Tozer pointed out that the best way
to see an opal was to look at it away
from the light. Held thus it appeared
to be alive with fire; to burn, as it
were in all manner of changing colors.

to have it's own CLEAN, and that CLEAN

TURF UNCERTAINTIES,

never more vividly illustrated than in
the running of the Suburban handicap

that he went to the post at the short

Kentucky the HON. of reud..

Nowhere is the fued so common, so
DID, so persistent, so deadly, as in the
Kentucky mountains. Nowhere else
is there such organization, such di-
vision of enmity to the limit of kin
ship. About thirty-five years ago two
boys were playing marbles in the
road along the Cumberland river
down in the Kentucky mountains. One
had patch on his trousers. The
other boy made fun of it, and the boy
with the patch went home and told his
father. Thirty years Of local war was
the result. The factions fought on
after they had forgotten why they
had fought at all. While organized
warfare is now over, an occasional
fight yet comes over the patch on
those trousers and man or two is
killed. A county as big as Rhode Is
land is still bitterly divided on the

sought a vote he said:

OF that the citizens were we'll aware
and they elected him. Shortly after hi,
election the governor ruled that the
election had not been conducted prop
erly, and appointed the officers then in
to fill the next term. Jack was chta-
grined, but he did not go back to rob-
bing.
Later he married the Vigus girl, and
the wedding was matter of much i'm
portance in Wichita. The bandit, under
the gentle rulings of his wife, COM
pletely reformed, even to drinking.
Their life would have went on very
smoothly, perhaps, had it not been for
the coming of Sam Lee, former
sweetheart of Agnes. He found that a
big reward was offered for Ledford, but
the officers at Fort Harker did not
know his whereabouts. Lee informed
them and secured So 900.
Tho Killing of Ledford.
Capt. Harger, of Company B, Sixth
United States Infantry, with a full
quota of men, came to Wichita one
morning in July, 1871. They found Jack
in room playing billiards. He was or
dered to come out, but refused. Finally
one soldier slipped in the rear of the
room and shot him in the back. This
enraged the fighter and he ran out into
the street, fighting with two pistols.
He killed four of them before he was
disabled. When removed to the hotel,
he inquired how many he had killed.
In few days Ledford died. On his re-
volver butts were found So tacks,
which, his intimate friends said, indi-
Gated that he killed that number Of
men.

NEW FUcrBALL RULES.

The football rules committee met at
the Reform club, New York city, the
other night, but did not make any
radical changes in the playing rules.
One elucidation was in regard to the
kicking of the ball when it is brought
after going out of bounds. The COM
mittee legislated that the ball must be
kicked certain distance. This is done
to prevent the side having the ball
kicking it a few yards and then fall
ing on it for another down. The sub
ject of time taken out for injuries was
acted upon. Hereafter only two min
utes will be allowed. The most inter-
esting change made by the committee
has to do with kicking the ball from
back of goal line behind formation.
The rule provides that when the ball
was kicked across the side lines out Of
bounds it should go to the other side.
1t was pointed out by Mr.. Dashiel that
in play of this kind the ball might
go out of bounds before it travelled as
far as the line of the goal posts. In
such an event. according to the rules,
the other side would be entitled to the
ball and consequently to touchdown.
In order to obviate this injustice the
committee now rules that a safety
against the side shall be sufficient
price to pay for ball going out Of
the bounds in kick before it reaches
.he goal line.

Tho South I. Waking On.

England in the sixteenth century felt
the first decided movings on the same
impulse that now throbs from Virginia
to Texas. She went into the critical
period third rate, or, it is more ac-
curate to say, a fourth-rate power; she
came out an acknowledged leader
among nations, with primacy the
strength and duration Of which no one
now hesitates to attribute in great part
to the commercial ascendancy ac-
quired through her immense manufac-
turing interests. Few will dispute the

perfect kind Of opal the rarest, and so
always the most valuable" It appeared
that opals with blush tinge, or hav-
ing a milky appearance, were quite
inferior as compared to the harlequin
type. Sir Horace Tozer said that of all
the Queensland opals he had seen the
one then on the table was the finest.
Bigger opals, it was mentioned, had
been known, but they lacked the shin
ing lustre Of this one. 1t was discov-
cred in the western part of Queensland,
in a pastoral district there which Is
famed for it's opals. There are alluvial
opals, and there are rock opals, and
this one belongs to the latter class.
The small part has been separated
from the larger part during the dig
ging of the opal from the quartz,
where it had lain perhaps for CEN
turies. Somebody spoke an explain
atory word on how opals are formed

Ing hours be devoted to work. Be-
heving that the eight hours service
required by the government of its en-

the desk until the full hours had been
served. Drones who had, under the

TO HONOR A BANDIT,
BAD MAN WHO WAS THE TER
ROR OF KANSAS
And who Sent Flfty-Two Mon to His
Private Graveyard to Have . Monu-
ment Erected to His Memory at
Wichita-How He Died.
(Wichita Letter.)

(Wichita Letter.)
One of the most noted COWBOYS and
bandits who ever drew gun on an en-
emy is it is said, to have a monument
erected to him in West Wichita. He is
Jack Ledford, who fell in West Wichi-
ia in 1871, while fighting whole COM
pany of regular soldiers. Already Led
ford's friends have raised $500 for the
monument, and soon work will be be-
gun to erect shaft on the very spot
where Ledford fell.
During the civil war Ledford was a
scout under Gen. Phil Sheridan. At
Springfield, Mo-, he got into a fight
with some of the opposing side, and
killed six without stopping to reload
his revolver. Then he made for the
Missouri river and under a heavy fire
swan to the Kansas side. After that he
quit scouting and turned outlaw. His
headquarters We're in the Arkansas
river bottoms, near Wichita, and his
field of operations along the line of
the southern stage coach route, run
ming from Fort Sill to Wichita. Once
ne held up a 40-Wagon government
train alone and rifled the mail bags of
thousands of dollars. He was the orig
inal lone bandit who has in late years
thriyed in the wilds of Arizona
Handy with the Pistols.
Ledford always carried two revolvers
with him, and could hit the mark ev-
cry time. One of his favorite tricks
was to take revolver in each hand,
and twirling them around, snap the
hammer between the cartridges, all
the while pointing the muzzle in the
face of friend. 1t was great sport for
him, but single slip of the finger
would have put the bullet in his
friends head. Luckily he was sure Of
the trigger. Another feat was to shoot
the nails cut of the walls of saloons
and allow the costly paintings to crash
