the water question. il was said that the
doctors and experts had traced the 1900
cases Of typhoid fever at Butler, Pa.
TO impure water, and that Investigations
being made elsewhere were developing
similar conditions.
For some cause we are not now
able to explain. water that is coming
directly out Of the mountains" said a

this condition Of affairs

TYNER AND BARRETT
FILE THEIR DEMURRER
Contend That Indictment Does Not Set
Forth Acts of Bribery.

James n. Tyner formerly Assistant
Attorney General for the Postoffice De-
partment. and Harrison J. Barrett, who
are jointly indicted I'm the local courts
Tor conspiracy against the United
states, yesterday dled demurrers to the
charges made against them. The ac-
cused are represented by Worthington,
Head & Frailey, Of Washington, and
Grain & Hershey, Of Baltimore.
The defendants say the Indictment re-
turned against them is defective and
while the Indictment seems to have
been intended to charge the crime of
conspiracy to commit the offense of
bribing an officer of the United States,
It does not set forth the purpose Of the
defendants to do any acts which amount
to bribery" that while the Indictment
charges conspiracy to defraud the
United States that there is no such
offense known to the laws Of the United
States as misconduct"

resounded with their wailings. The
bowls of the dogs added to the out
burst.
How can we get along without dogs
in Liberia? was the plaintiye query
Of one of the men. There were fifty
four persons in the party-thirty-t
men, twelve women and ten children
bound for the African Ian of prom
Use. They had two bloodhounds and
two powerful fine coon dogs" But
when they trooped aboard the Teu-
tonic the man at the head of the gang
plank said Get outw to the dogs.
\ They're ours" said the leader of
the emigrants. He was panied to
learn that his ticket didn't include
dogs, says the New York Press He
We told he must get a govern4n t
permit before the dogs could be re-
ceived at an English port. He com
municated that fact to his compan-
ions and then the sounds of sorrow
arose.
Them bloodhounds has followed n
scent fifty miles," moaned George
Scott. But. under orders, he tied the
dogs in the waiting-room. When the
Tuetonic left her pier the animals
strained at their ropes but couldn't
break them, and their masters and
mstresses soon were far away.
PITY they couldn't take the coon
dogs with Them" said a pier hand.

have forgotten to fulfil wish of hers.

have forgotten to fulfill wish of hers.
His business worries had, for the
time, obliterated the remembrance of
her! The thought was uncomfortable.
She had told him so, and that is how
the squabble had begun.
The ladybird had by this time reached
the rim Of Georges coat collar.
Well, certainly he had been looking
rather worried lately. Perhaps it was
a little unfair to expect him to devote
his entire thoughts to her and and her
wishes.
She began to remember a hundred
petty tyrannies which she had exercised
and to which he had submitted pa
tientIy.
Harmless little tyrannies, most Of
them but quite unnecessary, too-tyr-
annies she had practiced simply be-
cause she loved TO see him at her feet.
She remembered reading somewhere
once that the true secret of married
happiness was the principle of give
and take"
! The woman, as well as the man, must
be prepared to give and take. Up to the
present he had done all the giving. she
| all the taking.
How blind. how selfish she had been!
She saw it all now
Why. why should the man be always
on his knees to the woman? Why
should she be the queen, and he the
slave? She had never questioned her
right until now, and she could find no
reasonable title to the claim.
Surely the woman who loves her hus-
band should be as ready to serve as to
be served. There could be no question
of commanding or obeying on either
side.
The ladybird was balancing itself in
a reckless manner on the edge of
Georges white collar. If he moved his
head ever so slightly, the tiny thing
would inevitably be crushed.
In the midst of her re1norse she was
seized with a sudden solicitude for the
ladybird.
Stepping up behind George, she flick
ed it lightly and dexterously from his
collar.
He felt the gentle touch and turned
his head in surprise.
The next moment n pair of soft arms
were flung about his neck. hot cheek
laid caressingly against his own.
George, | want to- make ii up" she
! whispered. ''and-and there's such a lot
l want to say to you"
When she had said it, with her pretty
head very close to his, he turned to her
with glad smile.
"I'm the proudest. happiest man In
the world today" he said. 81 didn't
realize until this moment what a SEN
sble little woman | had married. Don't
think. dearest" he added, hastily, that
ever regretted the vows made to you
when asked you TO be my wife. There

you. 1t was only when found that my
love was in danger of spelling you that
began to resent the-the-"

upon you" she interrupted quickly.

COLLEGES

Harvard College has reduced its course
for the ar degree to three years.
The forthcoming report of the Bureau
of Education will contain some interest
ing information concerning the increase
in the number of women teachers in the
United States. Twenty years ago 42.S
per cent of all the teachers in this eoun-
try were men. This has gradually been
reduced to 2S.S in 1901. In the Southern
States, however, the men still have the
advantage. In West Virginia. for ex-
ample, the proportion of men teachers
is still 60 per cent, in Tennessee 53 per
cent, in Arkansas 90 per cent and in
New Mexico 54 per cent of the schools
are taught by men. Indiana is another
State in which the men teachers abound,
as they still hold 10 per cent of the
schools. There has been some change,
however, for thirty years ago they had
90 per cent of them.
The lowest percentage of men teachers
Is in Massachusetts. where they have
only SO per cent of the schools. IN the
other New England States the proportion
is about the same. In Iowa. Wisconsin
and Michigan are found the largest num-
Der of women teachers among the West
ern States, as the following table viii
show:

MAKING BOWLING BALLS.
Hardest Wood Known Comes From the
Central American Forests.

Hardest Wood known Comes From the
Central American Forests.
The popularity of bowling has grown
to such an extent in all parts of the
United States that the manufacture of
bowling balls, pins and alleys has be-
come an industry which gives employ
ment to thousands of workment. While
the work of constructing the alleys does
not require any great amount of inge-
nuity it is in the shaping and modelling
of bowling balls that great skill and
careful workmanship are required.
Bowling balls are made almost exclu-
sively out of a wood from the West
Indies and Central American countries
known as lignum-vitae, one of the hard
est woods known, says the Philadelphia
Press. There are several agents In
these countries buying up this wood all
the year round. 1t is shipped in the
rough for the factory in chunks about
four to six feet in length and varying
in diameter from six to twenty inches.
The logs are put into specially con-
structed cylinder and cut into blocks,

a band saw The rough balls are then
turned over to expert mechanics, who,
with the aid of turning lathes, gradu-
ally plane them down to the required
size.
The balls are then smoothed with
a sandpaper turner, receive a coat OF
shellac and oil and are complete, with
the exception of the finger holes. which
are frequently bored to measure.
