81 have often wondered where one
could lind the sharp knives of the
world" said an observant citizen. land
really the problem IN one OF some seri-
BUSINESS, and one, upon reflection. is al
most driven 10 the conclusion that
there are no sharp knives I'm the world
Have you ever noticed how hard IL
is to find q really sharp knife? Stop
the first man you meet and ask him to
let you have his knife for minute and
listen to what he says about IL. Nine
times out Of ten he will say, Il have
one, but II isn't very sharp You may
pick out your men indifferently and
they will always tell you the same
thing. Ii man should ask me for my
knife 10 sharpen Il lead pencil or TO use
for some other purpose, the chances
are ! would say about the same thing.
1 have one. but IL isn't very sharp
And really the answer thus made Is
generally true. Men do not keep sharp
knives. 1t may be because they do not
need sharp knives or II may be mat
ter OF laZiness, but In any event they
do not carry them around with them
or II they do they always give their

Catastrophe of the Oneida.

One of the most extraordinary catas-
trophies that have befallen vessels of
the United States destroyed the sloop
OF war Oneida In 1869. She was bound
homeward, with a jolly ships com
pany, eager TO see wives and sweet
hearts and native land once more,
when not far out of port she was
struck by the British steamer Bombay
comm. In. The stem of the Bombay

ship Was sinking rapidly, and guns of
distress were Immediately fred. but
the Bombay steamed on her way and
left the vessel to her doom. She went
down. and all but one or two OF her
crew were drowned.
The captain Of the Bombay gave no
other reason for his conduct than thai
he had Lady Eyre. the wife of dis
tingulshed British satrap, on board and
did not wish to disturb her nerves with
scenes Of shipwreck He was mobbed
when he reached Yokohama, dismissed
from the service, socially tabooed from
that time on and died in disgrace u

The Tunnel WI. Forgotten.

At Brussels the visitor is often struck
by the extreme thinness of the earth

The mystery Is thus explained: When
railways were I'm their veriest infancy,
the Belgian government sent a party OF
engineers over TO England TO acquire
experience i'm construction of the new
iron highways. and on their return
they were instructed to lay out the
first railway in that enterprising little
kingdom. The work was accordingly
put in hand, but on its completion one
OF the engineers exclaimed:
Good gracious, we have forgotten

A Fable.

One day as the Elephant was passing
through the forest he came upon a
Hare who had fallen into a pool and
was shivering with cold. and in his
good heartedness he stopped and called
out:
How. now. Mrs. Hare, but what Is
the trouble hereT
"Alas. but | fell into the pond and
am almost dying with chilli" walled
the Hare.
Say you so. All. but we can easily
remedy that. | will lie down beside
you. and the heat of my body will soon
make you warm and blithe again"
And the Elephant tumbled down with
= grunt and a groan and observed that
he was always cheerfully willing to put
himself out for the sake OF others, es
pecially for the weak and helpless.
After 4 quarter OF an hour. and not
hearing from the Hare. he rose up to
inquire II she felt better. and 10 his sor
row and CONSERVATION he discovered
that he had crushed the life out OF her
as he laid down.

A REMARKABLE GROWTH.
Figures That Tell OF Detroit and
Michigan Prosperity.

In submitting TO the public the rec
ord OF It's circulation In month when
business wrs on natural basis, the
Evening News association OF Detroit
assumes that the public in general and
its advertising patrons in particular
have an interest In the growth and
success of the two news papers, the
Evening News and the Morning Tri-
bune, which have been identified with
the progress OF Detroit and Michigan
for many years. When the price OF
the Evening News was reduced to one
cent on July last, there was an i'm
mediate increase in the daily output
OF papers, and 1t was sometime before
matters adjusted themselve YES 10 accord
ance with the new order OF things. In
Sedtember the sales we're far in excess
OF the normal owing to the great inter-
est In the news OF the presidents as
sassination and condition, but by Octo
Der matters had settled again and IL
has been assumed that the circulation
during that month of the 9wo papers
was on basis of merit.
Compared with the same month a
year ago, the Detroit Evening News
and the Detroit Tribune combined
show an average daily increase in cir.
culation OF 20, go copies while the
average gain of the Sunday News-Tri
bune has been 1876 copies. During
October the average daily circulation
was 80, $50 copies. which is more than
all the other daily Detroit papers com
bined. The circulate OF the Sunday
News Tribune has reached the an av-
erage total OF A, l66 copies. In the
matter OF advertising there has been a
parallel increase, the space for Octo-
Der, 1901, exceeding that OF the previ-
Gus year by 2,276 inches, while the
Sunday paper showed an increase OF
1855 inches.
In connection with this phenomenal
showing, the Evening News association
in recent announcement modestly
states:
THE figures tell their own story OF
the progress that has been made, and
are submitted not for the purpose Of
exulting over great success, but as
statistical information of benefit In
forming an idea uf the condition of the

Massage For the Scalp.

The hair falls out when the strength
of its roots is insufficient to sustain its
weight any longer, and n new hair will
take it's place unless the root Is dis
eased For this reason each person has
a certain definite length of hair. When
the hair begins to split or fall out. mas
sage Of the scalp is excellent.
Place the tips Of the fingers firmly
upon the scalp, and then vibrate or
move the scalp while holding the pres
sure steadily. This will stimulate the
blood vessels underneath and bring the
blood vessels underneath and bring
about better nourishment Of the hair.
A brush of unevenly tufted bristles In

Miss Maude Lewis Caused Arrest

Denies Accusation.

George S. Miller. g years old. who disap-
peared from his home in Belleville on
Wednesday. May Is. was arrested in East
st. Louis yesterday on q warrant charging
him with breach of promise to wed Miss
Maude Levi OF Bellevflle.
The story Is a romantic one. and, accord
Ing to Miller. is simply a sudden cooling
OF loves ardor on his part. Miller has
known Miss Lewis for about q year. Both
are musicians and they were almost con-
stantly together at entertainments and in
formal socials in the circle In which they
moved In Belleville IND the surrounding
territory. 1t was thought on all sides that
they would be married, and when the en-
easement was announced there were no
manifestations Of surprise The wedding
day was set for May. 1e. 1t was to be a
quiet wedding, ard the night before the
wedding day Miller stayed until early
morning. All OF the details of their honey
moon were arranged. He kissed his am
anced goodnight and promised to meet her
at the drug store. and, when q messenger
sent by Miss Lewis. reported that he had
not been seen at his boarding place since
the night before, she became anxious and
returned home. As the hours crept on and
Miller did not appear. Miss Lewis's anxiety
increased, and her worry caused illness, As
soon as she was able to be about her love
changed to resentment, and she sought the
assistance Of the police to locate and punish
Miller.

say hey have been fired upon from

last two months. The firing Is always done
az night and usually in the vicinity OF the
Price road west Of Clayton.
About two months ago two masked high
waymen boarded the car and ordered Nc
Neal TO throw up his hands. Instead the
plucky conductor called to his motorman
and knocked the gun from the first high
wayman's hand. When the motorman start
ed BACK through the car the hold-up men
lost their courage and Ned.
Three NIGHTS later a half dozen shots. the
men say. were fired at the car. The car
was stopped and a search made, but no
one could be found. Since then the car has
been fred at regularly every week. The
last attempt was made a few nights ago.
The matter has been reported to the Transe
Company officials. but there have been no
on foot.
1t is said in Clayton that the hold-uu was
by two men In the vicinity OF
Clayton. who thought to perpetrate n joke
on the conductor but did not anticipate the
they got. Now they are said to
be actuated by a spirit Of revenge.
