New York, April S.--All efforts TO com

Miss Martin lives witk her sister, Mrs
Enos Muudy, on Grove street. She Is SUI.

and in correcting his nervousness. That
stammering can he cured has been real
lied since tho time that Dcmosthcnce

supposed 20 be n race rather lacking In
nervousness. should suddenly develop In

strenuous life into which the emperor has
plunged the country has been n little too

Mr.. HIATTS DOUBLE.

"As a young man. was extremely
anxious to become a political power in
Iowa." said l.. II. Cook. the Chicago in
ventor. Happily / did not expect 10
jump into the senatorial chair at the first

my confidence. Flynn was a commercial
traveller. who always knew the newest
story and told the latest Joke. lie knew
everybody I'm tho state, and / was anxious
to be talked about, I conceived the bril-
liant scheme of having Bob Flynn escort
me 10 tho hotel parlor, which was the
headquarters OF all tho lady candidates
who were after every position a woman
could nll at the capitol.
Accordingly. Flynn took me around
and tremendously introduced me as Mr..

" Why my dear madam. I would say.

"Well. they were the happiest lot OF
women you ever saw, and. for a wonder,
each ono kept her own secret. The next
day Hiatt was expected so we took an
other fellow into the joke. and when
Hiatt arrived. he was steered straight 10

YOUNG MAN HAS SMALLPOX.

Camden. n. j., April S.--With loaded
revolver in easy reach. n determined wo-
man has kept the Camden health officials
in state of unrest for three Gays, and
unless hunger shall compel the woman 10
surrender lt looks as IL she may win.
This state OF affairs has been brought
about by the determination OF the city
nealth officials 10 remove william Len
man 10 the Isolation hospital in the city
suburbs and the equal determinauon or
his mother that he snail not go.
Lehman lives at No. 3i3 Mechanic street.
Three ~says ago The young man was was and rsi
The health officials were notified.
Inspector Leavitt visited the house, and
after satisfying himself that Lehman
really had smallpox told him 10 prepare
for removal 10 the Isolation hospital
Young Lehman raised objections TO be-
ing compelled 10 go TO the hospital, say
ing his family would take good care or
him AT home, and that the house could be
quarantined by the health officials. This
plan did not suit DIR. Leavitt, the inspec-
Tor, and he Informed Lehman that he
would have 10 go TO the pest house.
Health officers visited the house for the
purpose OF removing the victim OF the
dread disease. but they were met at the
door by Mrs. Lehman, his mother who
blocked their passage, and with an air or
determination calmly Informed Inspector
Leayitt that she was IN charge OF the
house. and intended 10 take care OF her
son, no matter what happened. When the
inspector informed her that he was acting
i'm accordance with the law she then as
sumed the defensive and said.
MY son shall never go 10 that pest
house. and unless God paralyZes my right
arm will blow the brains out OF the first
man who attempts 10 use force In enter
ing this house"
Inspector Leavitt noticing her move
ment toward "A dresser drawer, decided
that she meant all she said, and consid-
cred II would not be safe 10 enter the
house
Now the house is under strict quaran-
tine. and the officials have decided that
the only way they can win the battle will
be TO literally starve out the family by
cutting of the food supply. and this plan
the officials will try as an experiment.
City Solicitor Snyder has notified the
health officials that they cannot legally
take the house by storm. The smallpox
victim and his mother doing guard duty,
are still In possession OF their home and
as long as sympathetic neighbors will sup
ply them with food il looks as IL the
health OFFICIALS will be unable 10 enforce
the ordinance.

Flynn was the excited inquiry. oh,
there he isv as Bob opportunely put in
an appearance.
Say, Mr. Flynn, didn't you introduce
me TO Mr.. Hiatt yesterday
Sure thing replied Flynn.
mo, you didn't was the angry re-
joinder.
Wei. IL Il wasn't you he looked
mighty like you!
The row was at it's height when I
walked up TO MIR. Hiatt, and when that
female contingent saw us standing to-
gether. like twin brothers. even to our
clothes, a silence fell upon them, but,
after Bob humorously explained the mat
ter. they had the grace to laugh at the
shabby trick. AS for Hiatt, he laughingly
remarked Next time / meet man who
looks like me I'll kill him Mt the start
SO he won't give me any more trouble" -

Ice Instead of Dynamite.

notable quarrying feat has Just been
accomplished at the Roblsaw Granite
ouarries. Aberdeen. large stone had
been drilled ready for splitting when the
thought struck the foreman that nature
might aid in the object to be attained. the
idea being suggested by the severe frost
which prevailed. Water was pured into
each OF the drill holes. and Il was found
after a couple of days that the block OF
granite had completely burst open An
idea OF the immense power of the frost
will be gathered when II is stated that
the stone thus detached has weight of
about six tons-Philadelphia Record.

Employees, starts out with a member
