Did He Understand?

A we'll known Edinburgh professor
often became so interested in his sub
iect that when the noon bell rang he
seemed quite oblivious of the fact and
kept the class for several minutes. Ger
tain restless spirits among the stu
dents decided to give him a gentle
hint, so they bought an alarm clock
London Tit-Bits tells the result.
The clock, set to alarm at precisely
II o'clock, was placed on the profess
or's desk. As was anticipated, he be-
gan his lecture without observing the
clock. But when the noon hour struck
the alarm went off with startling
crash.
Even those not in the secret apprecl-
ated the joke. There was round OF
applause. The professor smilingly
waited until the alarm and the ap-
plause ceased and then said:
young gentlemen, thank you for
this gift. l had forgotten it was my
birthday. An alarm clock is something
my wife has needed for our servant for
a long time. 1t is very kind remem-
brance on your part" Then he went
on with the demonstration which had
been interrupted by the alarm, and the
students were never quite able to sat
isfy themselves whether the professor
understood the joke or not.

San Francisco, Jan. 6.-The French

Our little recipe for getting rich
quick by saving up penny on the first
of January and doubling it every day
for year, seems to have attracted
considerable attention, and the fire.
quent Inquiries about it by mail and
over the telephone show there is a
whole lot of people who are looking for
a better way to get wealthy than by
working hard for it. One of this class
drops line to ask us how we do it..
We don't do it at ALL The pace is too
hot for us to keep UP more than 10
days, and it would severely strain our
resources at that Another wise one
wires in to say we are off in our fgur-
ing, and that if the scheme is worked
correctly it will mean over S50,OOO,O0O
in 80 days instead of a year So much
the better. You can get rich that
much quicker

Chicago today is city of nearly
100000 inhabitants. Do you know
what these figures mean? They mean
that within the borders of the munich
pality are more people than live in
either the state of Georgia, Or Mime
sofa, or New Jersey, or Virginia, or
Wisconsin. They mean there are
gat hered together more people than
occupy Alaska, Arizona, Colorado,
Delaware, Idaho, Maine and Oregon

Have you ever noticed that all AMI
Inals which chew the cud are cloven
footed? Also that most of those which
drink water by suction are herbivorous,
the carnivorous variety tapping it with
the tongue, like the cat, dog, tiger, etc.
Sheep have no teeth in the upper jaw,
and tortoises and turtles are without
altogether.
Unlike most animals, horses have no
eyebrows, and hares are minus eye
lids. Consequently the eyes of the lat.
ter cannot be shut, and a thin men,
branous substance covers them when
asleep. The eye Of the owl is also very
peculiar, seeing that it is immovably
fixed in it's socket and cannot stir in
any direction. To compensate for this
seeming disadvantage it can turn its
head almost completely round without
moving it's body. If you were to keep
a frogs mouth open many minutes, it
would soon die, as owing to it's peculiar
construction it can only breathe with
the mouth closed.
On the other hand, fishes are COM
PEELED to keep opening and closing their
mouths in order to give their respira
tory organs full play. 1t is also a
strange fact that the deer has addi-
tional breathing places besides the nos
trils, as if nature had foreseen his
great need of free respiration when
forced to flee before the hounds. Snakes
usually have their teeth in the head,
but one variety in Africa, whose prin-
cipal food is eggs, is provided with q
substitute for them in it's stomach.

Gas Kills an Entire Family.

Hartford, Conn, Jan. An entire
family was killed by escaping illu-
minating gas, and only for timely as
sistance there would have been
deaths in other families in the same
tenement building. The victims are
Anton G. Chaves, his wife. and 2-year-
old child Joseph, and Miss Mary De,
vida, who was visiting at the house.
The gas came from a leaking meter in
the basement The entire house was
filled with it. DR.. n. S. Fuller, the
medical examiner, said several other
deaths recently have been due to the
dangerous quality of the gas being
furnished to the city.

Tt is plain to be seen that the La
Toilette factionIis after the scalp of
John G.. Spooner, and it behooves his
friends in Wisconsin to look alive if
they want him to be returned to the
United States senate, where he is one
of the leading men and trusted ad-
visor Of President Roosevelt. One of
the schemes being worked against him
just at present is the extensive publ
cation of the Haugen address, which
consists principally Of personal at
tacks on the senator. 1t is safe pre-
diction that he will not return TO the
senate if LaFollette, Stephenson and
their friends and papers can stop him.

physical wreck and almost a mental
wreck. His wife and three children
are among the dead and missing. The
Erickson family got separated in the
confusion. Erickson and his son, how
ever, chung together and were pitched
into the water clear of the sinking
steamer. They fiOated around for some
time and finally were picked up by a
life raft on which were number of
the officers of the Walla Walla. 1t was
almost daybreak when they were
found, and they were in an exhausted
condition. Father and son were pulled
on the light structure. but the boy was
too weak to stand the exposure.
A few hours later he died in his ia
theirs arms, and after the heart-brOk-
en- parent had bowed his head in silent
prayer over the corpse of his son the
body was consigned to the waves as
tenderly as it was possible under the
circumstances. After the body Of the
boy had gone overheard the father be-
came more and more Respondent. De-

rible effects of the exposure unless he
