A Defense OF the "Old Maid"

meet n great many pleasant people in

maid" and supposed to be afflicted with
nerves ana a cantankerous disposition.

How TO Avoid Taking Cold.

The grippe season is again here, and
ON ali sides are heard people sneezing,
wheeIng, coughing. or talking about
friends and relatives sick with nneumo-
mia or kindred ills
Here is the advice of a physician as
TO how to avoid these woes.
\ famous English doctor once wrote
in the Lancet, "A chilly man is a sick
man Therefore. il in this condition,
beware!
Taking cold isn't matter of tenn
nerature. 1t is question of physical
condition.
Quite aside from the problem of what
we call colds, the ordinary sensations
of cold seldom have an external cause.
Their cause is internal. The men and
women who so shivering along our
streets in winter weather ought not to be
cold. unless they have some disease that
explains their chilliness.
Fully three-fourthS of our people
wear too many heavy clothes in cold
weather. They feel cold and the only
thing they think of doing is TO put on am
other thickness of flannel. Warm cloth
ing is all right. but heavy clothing isn't.

Few persons understand how desper-
ately the skin needs ventilation.
The body needs an air bath at least

GERMANY'S NATIONAL AIR.

impression that it is "Die Wncht Am
Rheiu" is Corrected.
1t is remarkable how very few people
in this country, even musicians. know the
national song of Germany. There is a
popular impression that it is ''Die Wacht
am Rhein." Such is not the case, how
ever, says the Washington Star, as was
learned one day by Prof. Macleod, lead
er of the band of the District National
guard. who applied to the German en-
baSsy for information on that point. He
thought it was the Watch on the
Rhine" but wasn't sure. The National
Guard band was to take part in the GER
emonies attending the welcome to Prince
Henry of Prussia. and it was intended
that his royal highness should hear the
national song of the Fatherland on that
occasion.
In response to his inquiry the band
leader was informed by a representative
of the German ambassador that the ma

States Marine band, which compilation
Is accepted as the official guide of the
navy department and is followed in all
naval functions. In addition to the cases
already mentioned it further appears
from Prof. Sousa's compilation that the
well-known music Of God Save the
Queen is also the national air of Switz-
erland under the name Of 'Rufst du
mein Eaterland." and the national song

Prof. Sousa denominates "The Star

"My Country. 'Tis of Thee" as patriotic
songs of the United States, and does not
attempt to name the national song of
this country. He shows however, that
the practice in the navy is to play "The
StarSpangled Banner at morning col
ors and Hail Columbia" at evening col
ors on all ships in commission and at
naval stations where there are service

WHICHEVER WAY TURN MY
EYES

Whichever way turn my eyes,
Or listen with q hearing ear,
Nature prepares some sweet surprise,
OF sight Or sound to sooth and cheer.
The emerald CLEAN on messy stem.
The rough red brown of northern pine,
The tender pink white of birch;
These and thousand joys are mine
Dew pearls and diamonds scattered free
A myriad gems. a shimmering bliss.
The magic of a frosted tree;
WHAT are the Orient mines to thiSF
The fairy sprays in messy bed,
The half blown primrose family sweet,
The bright-yeined Ivy rown and red:
These are the treasures at our feet.
The trailing garlands OF the rose.
Fit for the Dearly gate of heaven:
The glory that ut sunset glows
Like benediction freely given.
The ripple of tiny brook,
The deep-t0ned murmuf of the sea;
Page after page of Natures book,
A wondrous choral symphony.
The colors on a crumbling wall
The shadows Of leatiess bough.
Beauty abounds in great and small,
Godgiven wine to cheer US now.
The silent beauty of the night !.
The solemn stiffness OF the morn.
The colOrs palnE Into light,
The joyous songs at day new horn.
The lights and shadows in the wood.

When all creation scemeth good
And JOY in every living thing
The beauty and the tender grace
Are earnest of a brighter day;
In golden outlines we can trace

Two Witnesses Swear That Large
Sums of Money Were Freely Dis
tributed in Securing Votes for Trac.
ton Bill-State Rests Its Case,

st. Louis, Oct. Sin the trial of
Robert M. Snyder the banker and pro-
moter, charged with bribery in con-
nection with the passage of the Cen
trail Traction bill, the states case was
practically submitted yesterday. Start
ling testimony was elected, to the ef-
feet that large sums of money had
been freely distributed in securing
votes for the bill. Probably the most
startling testimony of the day was
from George j. Kobusch, president of
the st. Louis Car company. He said
he was the man who interested Sny-
der in the Central Traction bill, that
he dealt with councilmen through Ed.
gar A. Mephan and that he sent money
through Mephan and that Mephan
was to be paid $4,000 for his services.
He has named some of the men who
got the money-Carroll $17.5OO, Gaus
$4,000, Cast $4,000, or at the general
rate of $4,000 head. Frederick g.
Uthoff also unbosomed himself with
rather little confusion, yet he named
large sums of money with the same d.
rectness and specified who paid and
who was paid. Uthoff said that Sny-
der told him that If he would intro
duce gas bill as rider to the
Central Traction bill and work for it's
passage and vote for the Central Trac-
tion bill he would give witness $780,
900.

Eight men battered down the doors of

which is located the bank. They then
blew of the doors of the safe and this
aroused the citizens. The robbers
made stand and a fusillade ensued.
Finally the robbers were routed,
sprang on waiting horses and escaped.
So far as known no one was shot on
either side.
