eatlina,s Idea of War.

WAR is an anachronism-a rel.c OF
the stone age, when prehistoric man.
adopting the only mode of argument
known to him, fought for the posses
sion of caves. When it is made too
horrible to contemplate it will cease
to be the resort of civilized nations"
DIR. Richard Calling, who died Feb. 26
in New York, wrote that opinion to a
friend many years ago. DR.. Calling
was the inventor of the famous Cat
ling rapid-fire gun, the first pepper
box" designed for wholesale slaughter
of troops. He was once a clerk in a
St. Louis store. Witnessing the suf-
ferings of wounded soldiers coming
from the front during the civil war led
him to wonder if remedy could not
be found for the great world evil
When he took up the construction of
his machine gun in 1864 his life was
threatened by people who considered
him a public menace" and a whole
sale murderer. Gen. Butler used two
of the first Calling guns in the famous
James river expedition. Abroad the
invention was taken up at once and
many similar mechanisms sprang from

WHAT BLOOD POISONING IS.
Living Organism Now Recognized as
Cause Of Trouble,

Blood poisoning is now recognized
as poisoning by a living organism,
while ordinary poisoning is by some
chemical substance devoid of life.
Blood poisoning took its name before
its nature was properly understood.
and 1t was thought to be a form of
ordinary poisoning. but that the blood
rather than the vital principles. was
chiefly attacked.
AS the stomach can. as a rule, de-
stroy the life of most organisms, whilo
it can only to a limited extent alter
the constitution of chemical poisons,
poisoning by living organisms, or blood
poisoning, Is far more common through
wounds than by things eaten. and thus
the idea. of its being poisoning of
the blood was strengthened. AS q
blood poison" is alive, it can. and
often does, go on increasing after its
first ingestion, and the most obvious
difference between the two is that
blood poisoning generally begins with
slight symptoms, and increases in
definitely, while ordinary poisoning
reaches its height almost at once.

Wit of Great Preacher.

OF all the brilliant preachers of
modern times no one shone more re-
splendently in conversation than the
eloquent Baptist minister. Robert
Hall. For all whining pietists, for all
oracular utterers of commonplace, all
anglers for praise, in the pulpit or
elsewhere, the great preacher had an
ineffable contempt. One day sickly,
querulous old man belonging to his
congregation met him in the street
and said: "Ah, Mr.. Hall, you have
never-been to see me. sir I've-I've
I've been very ill; I've been-at
deaths door. Mr.. Hail. why didn't
you step in?" was the quick response.
When asked for advice by young
man who desired to enter the minis
try, and who gave as a reason that he
wished not to bury his talents in
napkin, Hall replied: Then put them
in pocket handkerchief, sir; that
will be large enough!'

THE BEST WAY TO TEACH HIS

The idea of object teaching, the

high and low, with resultant benefits
which are beyond question. Even such
subjects as grammar and arithmetic
are now taught in this way so far as
practicable, and with marked advant-
age over the old dry and abstract
methods, The practice of teaching
history by making pilgrimages to the
very scenes where great historical
events have occurred is an application
of the same principle and much more
valuable in the way of impressing the
reality of history upon the minds Of
the young than any amount of mere
textbook instruction could be. A re-
cent issue of the "Four-Track Series."
published by the New York Central
management, gives a description of
the historical sites in the immediate
vicinity of New York, which will be
OF exceeding value for the guidance
of teachers and others who desire to
adopt this method of historical study.
One of the best ways to develop civic
pride and promote good citizenship
lies in this very direction, an In

"JoHNNIE ON THE SPOT"
Indian Baby Surely Was Entitled to
the Coqnomen,


the cognomen.
Attorney Ben White of Macon, Mo-.
relates an incident which illustrates
the North American Indians rapid as
similation of American humor. THE
allotment rolls for the Chickasaws
were closed at midnight Sept. "a" he
says. Children born after that hour
were cut out, but up to midnight every
male member of the tribe was entitled
to 800 acres of land, worth now about
$1,000, but which promise soon to be
worth many times that amount. The
evening of the cath was an anxious
one for an Indian family dwelling not
esting event was anticipated. The
watchers eyes were fixed on the
clock as the hands slowly but with
grim certainty crawled around to the
midnight hour. At exactly 11:40 a
brand-new Chickasaw of the male per-
suasion came into this sinful world.
The twenty minutes was worth $1,000
to the family. He was christened.
without any outside suggestion, John
ME on the Spot l have heard the
term used several thousand times,
but 1t never seemed to fit an event

There was a pause. The major
walked back and forth uneasily. Thor

was feverishly eager.

mo. The stenographer will take

And then began the unraveling OF
the last knot in the exciting mystery
of the Graviscourt millions.
Graviscourt met us, as he had al
ways mer us, with the placid smile
and the suave dignity of the man of
wealth. leisure and culture. There
was. perhaps. degree of pallor in his
face that was unusual, but this might
easily be attributed to the return OF a
rival whom he had believed dead and
out of his way.
He greeted me cordially. however,
and congratulated me upon the fact
that the rumor of my demise was un-
founded.
He led us into his cozy library-the
very room in which Dilkins had dis
covered the photograph of Alice Ora
viscourt-and placed chairs for us and
urged us to sit down.
There were four of us: the major.
Thorlane. myself and a special officer
in citizens dress, detailed by Byrnes
to accompany us and to take Gravis-
court into custody. | had insisted
upon my plan of action being followed.
which was to proceed to Graviscourt's
rooms. unmask his villanies there. and
read to him the statements of Dambo
and of the two Sigmottas. When this
had been done, 1t was to be the Off
GERS duty to arrest Graviscourt, and
my connection with the case ceased.
1t must have been clear to Gravis-
ing. for the major was as glum and
grim as an old Warrior could be, and
the stern face of Thorlane must have
seemed to Graviscourt an i'll omen.
But no sign of trepidation showed
in his manner. and he politely offered
us cigars and wine, which we all de-
clined, while he waited for us to an
nounce the object of our visit.
The moment was painful one, and

William Warner, an Atlantic Youth,
Used Bullet to End His Sorrows.


Atlantic, March 16.-William War.
ner, the 19-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Louis Warner of this city, at
tempted to take his own life by shoot
ing himself in the head with 81.
calibre pistol about midnight. Warner
and a number of young men had been
attending party at the home OF Ray
Stowe, 306 Linn street, when Warner
stepped out of doors and fired the shot
which will, in all probability, cost him
his life.
He was at once taken to the office
of a physician where an examination
revealed the fact that the ball had
entered the right side of his head and
lodged at point where an operation
for its removal is almost impossible.
On being removed to the home of
his parents on Maple street, Warner
regained consciousness, and in re-
Spouse to questions put to him by
Sheriff Marshall, stated that he had
fired the shot with the purpose of TAX
ing his life.
Warner has been Respondent for
some time past because his affections
for Miss Haddie Linke, daughter of
one of the local shoe dealers, was not
returned, and that this attempt upon
his life was because of this is clearly
shown by the following letter, taken
from his pocket by the sheriff after
the shooting:
"Haddie, you will be sorry some
day, for the way you have treated me

HAPPENINGS IN
HAWKEYEDOM
What Has Been Going on
During the Past
Week
BLANCHARD LAW Is ATTACKED
Its Constitutionsiity to BE Tested BY In
surance Companies In Federal Court
Nebraska Law Invalidated by Judge
McPherson's Decision.

Des Moines, March 13.-A bill at.
lacking the Blanchard anti-compact
law and asking the United States cir
cult court to declare the statute un.
constitutional, was filed by eleven In.
surance companies in the federal court
yesterday.
The law is alleged by the insurance
companies in contravention of the
fourteenth amendment to the federal
constitution, to section 10 of article
of the constitution OF the United
States, and to section 6, article l, of
the bill of rights of the constitution of
Iowa.
The fourteenth amendment to the
federal constitution is that declaration
which provides that states shall not
pass laws denying persons the equal
protection of their laws or deprive
them Of property without due process
Of law, etc. II is on the basis of this
constitutional right that the Nebraska
anti-compact law, almost identical
with the Iowa statute, was declared
unconstitutional by Judge Mcpherson
recently. 1t is on tSis ground that the
insurance men place the most reliance
in the fight they have begun in this
state. The Iowa case will be heard
before Judge Mcpherson, probably.
The Iowa constitutional provision
on which the insurance men rely is
that which provides that all laws Of a
general nature shall have a uniform
operation. 1t was on this section of
the state constitution that the insur.
ance concerns relied in the proceed.
ings in the federal court in Dubuque,
before Judge Shiras, few years ago
begun, to have declared unconstitu.
tional the statute requiring foreign in.
surance companies to pay more taxes
than the domestic and local com.
panies; the court held that the state
had the right to collect license fees.
The second federal constitutional
provision which is cited by the insur.
ance men Is that relating to the in.
hibition upon states not to pass laws
impairing the obligation of contracts
Carr, Hewitt, Parker & Wright and
James G. Davis are the attorneys for
the insurance companies, and the for.
mer filed the bill with Clerk e. R
Mason of the United States circuit
cocurt yesterday. The suit is brought
in the name of eleven insurance com.
panies against the auditor of state. II
prays the court to declare the law un.
constitutional and to issue an injunc.
ton restraining the auditor from en-.
forcing the penalties provided in the
law for violation.
