To arch above YOUR head,
No doubt he'djFfick the same old ways,

That you may be harum-
Good old-faShioned boy;
That you may. where the placid branch
Lies whipping in the sun,
Shuck off your buds and swim and have
Some good oid-fashioned fun.
That you may climb the wooded hills,
And find a grapevine swing;
That you may know and mock the tunes
OF all the birds that sing;
That you may find a sweetheart wee,
And take your knife and mark
Her name and yours, heart-bordered, 10
Some craggy OAK trees bark.
For If you know not things like these.
These good old-fashioned joys,
The good Old ways and things We loved
When we were little boys,
Manhood won't mean so much to you,
Nor be so full of joy;
And so 1 just wish you may be
A good old-fashioned boy.

A NEW CANCER CURE.
Testing, Although They Have
Been Disappointed Frequently.

Important results have been attained
by the new cancer treatment
It was discovered by DR.. Otto Schmidt.
OF Cologne, and investigated by DR..
jesse Johnson, Of London, who has
given the results of his observation to
the medical society of London.
Dr. Schmidt does not claim finality for
his discovery, but he asserts that he has
isolated the specific parasite which
causes cancer.
Many parasites have already been dis
covered, notably by DR.. Gaylord, in
America, as associated with cancer.
DR.. Schmidt maintains that they all are
one and the same, their shape and ap-
peafance being determined by varying
conditions. By altering the conditions
Schmidt has, made his parasite assume
all these different appearances He uses
this parasite In two different forms.

The discovery has been received by
the profession here with the greatest
reserve in view Of so many previous dis
appointments, but 1t is admitted that
the method is worthy of trial.
DR.. Schmidt's treatment was brought
to DR.. Johnson's knowledge by mil
lionaire whose wife has obtained great
benefit from 1t.

XIV, XIV. and XVI. are always consid-
cred very costly, elaborate, and only
suitable for the palace and mansion, as
we have unfortunately taken our ideas
of them from the palaces of Versailles
and Fontainebleau andgother royal resi-
dences, whereas the houses of the same
period were almost equally beautiful
but very much simpler and better adapt
ed to everyday requirements These
French styles can be applied to English
and American homes and so skillfully
treated that they lose none of their
character yet are simple and UMPIRE
tentious. The Empire style is more
elaborate and ponderous, being a mix
ture of French and Roman known as
Napoleon's Caesarian furniture, in
which he was anxious to give an i'm
preston of his conquests. and the other
French styles are those of Henri Deux
and Francois Premier, known as the
French renaissance. These various
styles are easily distinguished when
once their characteristics are grasped.

PAPER BED QUILTS.
They Are Said to Be as Warm or Even
Warmer Than the Old-Time
Wooden Blanket.

Although. it has long been known
that paper is bad conductor of heat,
little use has been made of this fact
until recently. A few years ago one
heard of newspapers being laid over a
bed in winter to supply extra warmth
in emergencies, but the idea seemed SO
absurd that it never was extensively
tried. Besides. at best it was only a
temporary expedient. The improvised
cover was sure to be displaced or torn
in snort time.
Of late two methods of employing
the principle have been found. One Is
to work up a thick, soft material that
can be used for lining women's jackets.
For that commodity considerable sale
has been found. Being introduced, like
wadding, between the inner and outer
layers of cloth, it IS protected from
friction, and thus may last for q long
time.
The other plan Is to manufacture a
durable bed quilt For this business
l. company has been organized in
North Carolina. No doubt thickness
and fiexibiiity are insured by the
u -
choice of material and mode of prepa-
ration. Some parts of the process are
novel enough, it is said, to lead the in
ventors to seek patent. According
to a dispatch from Lexington, n. c.,
the quilts are made of two sheets of
crimped paper. with cloth outsides
The quilts are absolutely air tight.
and are said to be as warm as or
warmer than WOODEN blankets. Tue
paper used will be disinfected. and
many prominent physicians say the
quilts viii be more healthy than the
quilts now In use. The rustiing noise
noticeable about paper is absolutely
done away with by the use of the
crimped paper, and when finished the
quilts are very plant and almost as
soft as wooden blankets. They are to

OPERATED EVERY WHERE
Their Plan Very Smooth One
Before Arrest

Topeka, Kan, May 25.-After having
the past seven years, p W. Miller, A.
NJ. Glider and >. r. Randall, the pro-
moters OF the now defunct Western
Farmers Mutual Hail Insurance com
pany of this city, are now under arrest
in Fargo, n. D., on the charge OF using
the mails to defraud, brought against
them by the federal authorities, as the
result of the wrecking of the State Mu-
tUal Hail Insurance company, which they
instituted at Hankinson. y. D.
The company at Hankinson began bus
mess in 1900 and went out of business last
year with no assets other than the office
furniture, despite the fact that $4,000
had been collected in premiums during
the time and but s., 600 paid out in losses.
o. W. Curry of Fargo has bought up the
policy holders at Hankinson and he was
here yesterday comforting with State Su-
perintendent of Insurance Charles II. Luz
ling. and ex-State Superintendent of In
surance ". V. Church, for the purpose
of gaining information regarding the op-
erations of the trio in Topeka. The cases
against the men viii come up in the
United States court at Fargo in June.
The scheme of the men, briefly stated,
is to go TO town and start a mutual
hail insurance company. Numbers of
agents are put in the field and contracts
made with farmers. The first year losses
are paid promptly so as to gain the con-
idence of the people. The second yeaT
the operations of the company are widen
ed. All notes received from farmers for
premiums are at once discounted and the
receipts absorbed by exorbitant commits
sion and high salaries. AS a general thing
local men are used as officers Of the com
pany but they are merely stool pigeons.
whether knowingly or not. When the
last cent of money possible has ben milk
ed from the concern it is allowed to go
to pieces and the promoters seek a new
field
AS nearly as can be learned the men
started their operations at Amboy, n. D..
in 1896. This company went into the hands
of receivers in short time after it was
started. Then in rapid succession COM
panies were formed and wrecked at Wa
tertown. 9. D., Amaha, Hankinson, n.
D., and Topeka
The Western Farmers Mutual Hail In
surance company was started in Topeka
in April, 1900 and was closed by eXState
Superintendent of Insurance Church the
following October. He did not like the
way the company was being run. as he
found that the local officers were turn
ing over all the receipts to Miller, iGlder
and Randall. He stepped in and held up
the nraynir1roS until tho brlSineSS for tha
year was closed up and succeeded in pay
ing 80 per cent on the losses. Topeka, it
is said. is the only place where the men
did not succeed in robbing the policy hold
ers of all the money paid in.
