The hearing in the case of John r

ued until March 8 by United States Com
missioner A. S. Taylor.

who said he owned property on R Street
worth $4,000, furnished bonds Of 81. 900 and
his son was released.
DecOy Letter Mailed.
John r. Russell is alleged to have fail
ed to turn in at the postomce last night
the letter referred to. which was declared
TO have been mailed at the corner of
Eighth and d Streets northwest by IN
spectOr D. c. Owings, and which was a
decoy.
The case OF Russell. while the charge
is different, recalls that OF Herbert War

custody about six weeks ago by Mr.. Ow-
ings. and who is now under bond TO await
the action Of the grand jury on a charge
Of OBTAINING and delaying mail matter.
A letter was found in his pouch an hour
or so after it should have been delivered
at the pOstofice. Warren insists that
he never saw the letter until it was found
in his pouch.
Russell Placed Under Arrest.
RusselIs case. however. is more pecu-
liar. When arrested at IL o'clock last
night he had Just returned from a col
lecting tour. The decoy posted by Ow-
ings was not among the mail turned in.
Russell was at once taken to the Twelfth
Street Police station and searched. The
decOy was not in his possession.
Then Inspector Owings. IL is said. went
to the postofice and a few minutes later
returned TO the station He had with him

You are looking at the matter OF ster-
liking milk, which is a good thing. and
OF guiding children at pivotal times in
their lives, which Is also a good thing.
But OF all things, mothers need aid TO
shape the conditions that should surround
the child outside as well as inside the
home. The mother is said TO be the
queen OF the home. but you all know that
she is often the victim Of circumstances
and that she cannot have absolute sway
in her own home.

To Match His Match.

An Englishman was in smoking
compartment of a city train a little
while back, and at a certain station
a German entered the carriage and
took his seat opposite him. When the
train had started, the foreigner, motto
ing the others cigar, inquired if he
could give him one.
The Englishman, astonished at the
request, reluctantly pulled out his case
and saw with disgust the other select
the best he could find and take match
from his pocket and light it. After
taking few puffs with evident enjoy
ment, the German, beaming at his
companion through his spectacles, af-
fably continued:

A young man at the risk of his life
saved beautiful young girl from
drowning. Her grateful father seized
the rescuer of his daughter by the

emotion said:

for everything that makes life dear to
me. Which reward will you take

heroic rescuer, thinking thereby to get
both the girl and the money.

A GREAT ART.
The Rare Ability to Select Emciont
Executive Heads. Il

executive Heads.
Many men mistakenly think that be
cause they work hard and try hard
they must eventually succeed to some
extent This does not follow. Some
men carry on great enterprises with
little apparent effort. Their success is
due to skill in selecting efficient exec
utive heads.
Many business man breaks down
trying to supplement the work of in
competent heads of departments sim
ply because he does not know how to
choose the right men. A man of COM
manding ability does not worry him
self over details. He makes out his
programme and then selects men who
can carry it out to the letter. Indeed
it Is a sign of weakness for the head
of concern to bother about little de-
tails. 1t shows that he lacks the in
sight, the business sagacity, the abili-
ty, to select and to manage men who
can do things efficiently.
Many heaIS of large concerns spend
little time in their offices. They travel
or remain at home, but the business
goes on like clockwork simply because
they know how to select men who can
efficiently do the work assigned to
them.
1t is a great art to duplicate oneself
in another and multiply oneself many
times by selecting those who are vast
ly superior to ourselves, but who did
not happen to have had our opportuni-
ty to do the thing themselves.-Suc

Marjor,-'s Proviso.

Baby Marjory has been having her
first experience of rural sights and
sounds, of green things growing, of
flowers hiding in the grass, of COWS in
the pasture, of horses in the stable.
She was delighted with all but one OF
them, says a writer in the Philadelphia
Telegraph.
The one exception was the big. surly
dog that keeps watch and ward over
the farm. She respected Hector in
his own place, but that place is at a
distance. She did not want him or his
kind to approach near enough for in
innate acquaintance.
Having been invited by lady Of
the house to take a walk down to
the village. Marjory hesitated a little.
"Why, Marjory," exclaimed the lady,
in an injured tone of voice, don't you
want to go with me?"
"Yes," replied the little maid, Il

Oldest Inn In England.

In the village of Norto st. Philip is
the George inn. 1t claims to be the
oldest licensed village alehouse in Eng
land, the license dating from 1897! Its
appearance is eminently picturesque,
each story overhanging that beneath,
while the front is broken by bay win
dows, porch and a fight of stone
steps leading to a doorway in the wall.
At the back are more quaint doors and
windows, turret built against the
wall and inclosing an outside stair,
while in the yard still remains por-
tion of the old gallery which in the
middle ages was found in so many
hostelries. Most of the front is tim
bered. Each gable is surmounted by
curious chimney. A curious feature Of
the interior is the upper floor, which is
of plaster.

Where Every One Smokes.

Smoking is universal in Polynesia,
China, Japan and Siam. In Burma the
mother takes the cheroot from her
mouth and puts it to the lips of her
nursing babe, while the child purses
its tiny lips and putfs away with ev-
cry indication of pleasure. Kaffirs ha
bitually smoke cigars with the lighted
ends in their mouths and their tongues
adroitly tucked out of harms way.
Even the pygmies of central Africa are
inveterate smokers. The sun never
sets on the smoking world, for before
the white man of the occident puts
down his pipe at night the yellow man

Groom of Mo- Imnortnnce.

If there is ever Il time in woman's
life when she is the most important
person in her own immediate circle, it
Is when she is Il bride. Apropos of this
is a story of new society editress
who had just returned from her first
assignment, which was the writing up
Of wedding:
Did you get all the facts?" asked
the city editor
"All that are of any Importance" !"
replied the young woman. 81 have q
description of the bridal gown and the
trousseau and the flowers and the we'd
ding presents, and the objective point
of the tour, and the names of the
bridesmaids and the officiating clergy
man and the reception days.
"Who is the bridegroom" inter-
rupted the city editor. His name has
been printed four different ways in the
preliminary announcements"
''The groom?" faltered the young
woman. ''Why-why-I forgot to ask
about him, and l guess nobody else
thought of him, except maybe the
bride''

An EarIy Orgnnist.

A Sunday school teacher was i'm
pressing upon the little ones in her
class the story of the lame beggar who
was carried every day to the beautiful
gate of the temple, and when the apos-
ties Peter and John went up there they
miraculously healed him. The teacher
expressed sorrow for the poor man,
who could do nothing but sit at the
gate and beg. A little hand shot up
and small voice piped out:
''He might have got hand organ"
The same teacher asked the little
ones to repeat the golden text on one
occasion when the Sunday school les
son was upon the subject of temper
ance. Here is the version of the text
as given by one of them:
'Wine is a mocker, strong drink is
raging, and Whosoever is deceived
thereby hath everlasting life."-Lippin-
colts Magazine.

Milk as n Food.

Milk as food is a perfect one for
the very young infant only. In adult
life 1t is often of service and may save
life, but it does not afford all the mate
rails required for nutrition Moreover,
it yields what is not required-a large
percentage of lime. The latest re-
searches show that this is not so great
ly on account of the quantity of lime
contained in the milk as because the
salts are in a form peculiarly adapted
for retention in the system

HOW A MAN BROWNS.
The Reason He Sometimes Come.
Three Time the Surface.

ghe Reason He Sometimes Comes
Three Time the Surface.
Few popular louacies are OF such
wide extent as the belief that person
must rise to the surface three times,
no more and no less, before he can pos
sibly drown.
There is little ground for this sup
position, although it has been almost
universally believed in for generations.
The truth is that a drowning person
may sink the first time never to rise
Rgain, or he may, as he indeed does in
the majority of cases, rise three times
before he sinks forever
1t all depends upon the quantity of
water that he swallows when he sinks
and the size of his lungs. The human
body in life naturally floats while the
lungs are inflated. As long as one
keeps his head above the surface of
the water he can float, face up, with
out having to move hand or foot
But as soon as a person sinks he
gulps and imbibes a quantity of water.
If after he has swallowed water be
has any air in his lungs, he will I'M
doubtedly rise again and will continue
to sink and rise alternately until all
the air is expelled from his lungs, when
he will drown.
In most cases the frightened victim
of an accident swallows enough water
when he first sinks to leave him in a
very exhausted condition; but, as there
Is still air left in his lungs, he soon
finds himself on the surface again.
Each time he sinks, however, the sup
ply of air in his lungs grows less until
ultimately there is no longer sufficient
to support him.

A Severe Critic.

A self conscious and egotistical
young clergyman was supplying the
pulpit of country church. After the
service, says the New York Evening
Post, he asked one of the deacons, a
grizzled, plain spoken man, what he
thought of "this mornings effort"
"Waal," answered the.old man slow
ly. 'I'll tell ye; I'll tell We in a kind O
parable. 1t reminded me of Sim Peck $
