while on these shores. Where on earth
could he have gone when he was over
here?
1t seems that Miss Stone is not going
back to Turkey. The sultan, who is
somewhat of a connoiSseur himself,
has let it be known that he does not
want her and yet it has not been re-
ported that the sultan ever had the
pleasure of Seeing Miss Stone. The
WnoIe country resents this decision Of
the turkish despot, as we have rarely
mad so successful missionary in the
Orient as the lady in question. 1t was
because OF her immense success in
civllizing and Outstanding that she
was kidnapped and secreted The sultan
knew that If she went on and his peo-s
pie were Initiated into the mysteries Of
civilization it was only a question of
time when his throne would be occu-
pied by some enterprising Christian
and he would have to go to the rear
and sit down, if he was fortunate
enough to remain on earth And now
when Miss Stone desires to return to
the same field of labor to continue her
work in order to earn money with
which to pay back the kind hearted
and generous friends who raised the
wherewitha1 for her release she Is
thwarted by that horrid old sultan The
mistake she made was to allow her
pictures to be published in the public
prints.
A man in Michigan has recently in
vented machine which he believes
will be of inestima BILE value to business
| men. It is something designed to stop
the giving Of overweight by careless
clerks in grecers' shops and other
places. When the clerk puts on the
scales something he carelessly counts
as pound a bell will ring If the goods
weigh fraction over. Now, If some
one would invent a machine that would
ring still louder bell when the weight
is short, matters would be eyened up
and everyone be happy.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shook, of Elk Point,
S. D., have a grievance and thereby
hangs a tale. 1t seems that on the last
Fourth Of July, that glorious day of
noise and liberty, Mr.. and Mrs. Shook
were taking a walk on their native
heath, conversing together amiably
about the state of the weather and
other interesting matters, when sud-
denly along came a buggy in which sat
certain DR.. Ringsrud-a very promi-
| nent man Ringsrud, having twice run
for governor, but not hard enough
and the equine attached to the buggy
without warning grabbed Mrs. Shook
with his teeth, shook her violently and
threw her to the ground. Mrs Shook
claims never to have done anything
to Mr.. Ringsrud or his steed and Is
therefore utterly unable to account for
the fierce attack upon her, and now
sues Mr.. Ringsrud for $4,000, added to
which Mr.. Shook sues also for IS, 200 to
pay him for the terrible anxiety of
mind suffered because of the assault
and battery upon his wife by the afore-
said horse. DR.. Ringsrud Is at loss
to understand why things should be
thusly and there is much trouble and
distress in the Shook and Ringsrud
households. The moral of this tale is
to buy an automobile-which is I'M
able to bite-and keep up with the pro-
cession of progress.
The X-ray is developing some re-
! markable powers. A man in Montana
claims that it cured him of paralysis.
and in another case the light was pow
erful enough to locate set of teeth
a block away under a bed. Nab.
