NEW LAW AS TO AUTOS
MON -oMERIANs HAVE NOT
 COMPLIED WITH IT.
Owners of Modern Vehicles Must Register Them With the Pro- bate Court and Pay
 Fee

Montgomerians, owners of automobiles, have failed to comply with the law en- acted by the last Legislature providing for the registration of the vehicles.
 The law provides that every owner Of an automobile shall have his machine registered at the office of the judge of probate, who shall keep a book for this purpose. The registration fee Is 25 cents. The law further provides that any one failing to comply with this law and found guilty of operating an automobile on the county highways, shall be subject to a fine of not lees than s10 nor more than $1OO for the first offense and not les sthan $50 nor more than 200 or imprisonment in tho county jail for subsequent ofRenses.
 The act also regulates the speed of au- tomobiles and kindred vehicles. The pro- visions are that when a person driving a spirited horse shall make a signal for the operator of an automobile to stop that such operator must comply. and bring his machine to a halt until all dan ger of a runaway is past. In fact the law gives the horse ''the right of way
 The motor vehicle must not pass a school house between a. m. and 4 D. n.. at a greater rate of speed than eight miles an hour. and under this provision houses of worship. during the usual hours of service, individuals and vehicles drawn by horses or mules, are also mentioned.
 The act further provides that the mo- tor vehicles shall not be operated on any highway in the State at a greater rats of speed than eight miles an hour. Also that all appliances for stopping quickly. to lessen the odors and noise, must be employed.
 Judge J. B. Gaston of the Montgomery County Probate Court said yesterday that until few days ago. he was not cognj- zant of the law. He said, however, that he would at once notify owners of auto mobiles to have their machines register ed
 Among the Montgomery owners of au- tomobiles are B. S. Griel. M. H. Stuart, Rev. Neal L. Anderson, Herbert Cole man. Julian Gibian. A. M. Kennedy and James Cook.

Heavy Loss Sustained by Pittsburg
 Firm.

Pittsburg, Dec. 29.-For twelve hours commencing at 6 o'clock this morning thirteen engine companies battles with a stubborn fire in the SIX story storage warehouse of Haugh and Kennan at Third street and Ouquesne way. Crossed electric wires are given as the cause of the confiagration. The loss according to James F. Kennan. president of the com pany, will not fall below $200.OO0 and may Teach $700.000. The insurance will not cover more than one-tenth of the loss. Mir Kennan planes the steel shutters and doors which are approved by the fire underwriters for most of the damage.
 The building was a solid brick struc- ture equipped for a warehouse and con structed with slow combustion material. It is supposed to be practically fire proof. All the goods that were not burned were more or less damaged by the flood of water poured into the building.

Where They Were Appreciated.

The government has with great lib
crafty distributed public documents
from Washington to the remOtest parts
Of the country. In his book on THE
Overland Stage to California" Mr..
Franklin Root tells how the overload
ed mails were sometimes relieved.
Before the daily mail went into oper-
alton and when a stage went to Salt
Lake City only once a week some OF
the boys on the line used to despise
coach almost wholly loaded up with
public documents, but such mail mat
ter came quite handy at times.
Occasionally the drivers, as they
themselves said, would get stalled 60
ing through a bad slough In rough
weather and would be unable to move.
In that case they were obliged to take
out sack after sack Of the pub. docs.,"
open the bags and pile the massive
books from the government printing
office into the slough and by building
a solid foundation with them were en-
abled to pull the coach out Of the mire.

LEFT MINDED PEOPLE.

fhe Way the Brains Orders Are An
nounced and Obeyed.
Both sides of the brain are capable
VI performing the duties of giving
commands to the limbs, but the orders
,nly come from one side, either from
he right or left, but If the side upon
which the speech center lies gets in
mred and Is rendered incapable OF per-
,orming its duty then the other side
takes I'D the work, though 1t requires
,ome time before ii can do so properly.
Supposing n man meets with bad
,all or accident Of any kind which
manages the speech center on the lett
10 becomes dumb for the time being.
Then the right side slowly learns how
% give orders, and the man guadually
.eralns power of speech after some
rears. but in many cases he becomes
eft handed because now the orders
rom the brain are transmitted more
.apidly to the left than to the right.
You have often experienced, | sup
pose. the curious feeling that you have
lone something or met some one at
come time or other when in reality you
nave not done so at all.
Surprising the left side of your brain
conceived the idea that you were go
Ing to tie your boot lace and that the
right side was, say, a thousandth part
Of a second oehindhand In grasping
the same idea, the result, when the
right side did grasp it, would be that
you would imagine that you had al
ready tied your boot lace.-Dr. With

Mere Money Getting.

Money getting is no new passion
From the beginning nineteen-twen'
tieths of our American population have
had no other mastering purpose than
to make money They have been bread

of least resistance, without dreams OF
success in the professions or in the arts
or In patriotic politics.
But there have also been up to re-
cent years a remnant, select few. a
company Of enlightened and gifted
people, who have put ideals ahead of
money getting.
There was Agassiz. who refused to
lecture at 500 a night because he was
too busy to make money. Charles Sum-

There is no such spirit in the school

football eleven, 1t is true, and 1t holds
its head well up among its mates; lit
tie above 'enn. too, most of the time
the old schools the old school yet l

times to watch them and think, "Weu,
it's q queer game they play now and
call footballw They trOt out In sucn

ed from shin to crown, welted, belted,
strapped and buckled beyond recogni-

the play; every move has to be told

to run alone, and so they hire a big

dare take plain drink Of water. When
they got thirsty they sucked at wet
sponge, like babes at the bottle!
1t was not so In our day. No apron
strings of Il university coach were tied
TO us. We were free born men. When
we wanted TO play we got together ana
went down to the old pasture. to the
big oak tree that stood near the middle
of 1t, and there we would choose up
and take off our coats and vests and
neckgear and pile them round the OAK
and walk out on the field and go at 1t
everybody-not a pitiful dozen or SO.
while the rest stood with their hands
In their pockets and looked on, but ev-

Dreams of Peace Allure to Death.

Dreams of Peace Allure to Death.
Dreams Of peace have always allured
mankind to their undoing. Human des-
tiny has been wrought out through
war The United States Is an Illus

acknowledges the sovereignty of the
Union has not been subdued by arms.
The first settlers slew the Indians or
were themselves slain; next the Ameri'
cans and English conquered the French;
afterward the Americans turned on the
English and, with the aid of France,
elected them. In 1879 we again fought
the English to defend the national
unity and subsequently took California
from Mexico by the sword. To consoli-
date a homogeneous empire we crush
ed the social system Of the south, and
lastly we cast forth Spain. The story
is written in blood. and common sense
teaches us that as the past has been, so
will be the future. Nature has decreed
that animals shall compete for life, or.
In other words, destroy or be destroyed,
We can hope for no exemption from

London'f whistles.

A boy was charged at a London po-
lice court the other day with blowing
a whistle in such way as to cause
three policemen to come toward him,
The fact that such a thing is possible
suggests the questions: How do the
police distinguish between a cab whis-
tie and a police whistle? What is there
to prevent any one from blowing a
whistle in such a way as to call a po-
liceman?
A representative Of the Graphic who
put these questions to high ofiieial
Of the city police learned that In the
matter of attending to whistles. as with
his many other duties. the policeman
uses his discretion. Any shrii' whistle
will attract a policeman, but such
whistle blown at night outside a res
taurant or any place where people con-
gregate and cabs are wanted would not
bring a policeman to the whistler. The
same whistle blown in precisely the
same way in the middle Of the city at
midday would bring policeman on
the scene at once.-London Graphic.

CUHS FOR HlCCOUGHS.
simple Scientific Remedy That Gives
immediate Relief.

An attack OF hiccoughs brings its VIC
tim less sympathy perhaps than almost
any o.hor ailment, the main reason be-
inc that, except in very rare cases, II
is rot attended with fatal results and
that in most cases it attacks otherwise
healthy persons. Still, it is one of the
most annoying and most obstinate OF
difficulties While the effort to cure 1t
is being made it generally disappears,
vet it resists the most vigorous effort
Of the will to control its vagaries.
4 hccough is quick, involuntary.
respiratory movement Of the dia-
phragm. brought suddenly to a stop
by an involuntary closing Of the glot-
it's. The muscles that control these
two portions of the human anatomy
are incessant workers. They wait on
every breath without being guided by
the will and even work while we sleep.
While they do their duty life passes,
tranquil. calm and pacific, but If from
any cause a disturbing element enters
into their bailiwick they rebel, are be-
yond the control Of the will and, hav-
ing no guide, as it were, run away, and.
like any runaway. have no care for the
damage done. The effort to remove
the disturber is the cause Of the hic-
cough and the following method OF
treatment arrests these muscles in their
wild escapade, brings them Lack to
their duties, and. like the patient serv-
ants they are. they resume their work
and life becomes as placid as before:
First, expel all the air from your
lungs very, very quickly. The portion
Of the body they attend to Is. as 1t
were. collapsed, and now commences
the next and concluding part of the
cure.
Second. commence to fill your lungs
with air. but do so very slowly. but
steadily. Fucker your mouth, and II
possible leave an opening Of your lips
no larger than a pin. and through this
inhale the air. Fill your lungs, raise
your arms and throw out your chest,
and when you are full these muscles
resume their regular duties and the
hiccoughs are gone.-Brooklyn Eagle.
