RICH CAPTAIN RETIRED.
Devery's PrOtege, Thomas, Who
Bought a Flat House.

nOuknt u y Aht AOuSCs
Police Captain Andrew ]. Thomas,
says the New York Evening Post, was
retired on a pension to-day by Com
missioner Greene, on certificate from
the police surgeons saying that he was
unfit for duty owing to weak heart
and defective vision. Capt. Thomas is
nearly "a years old and has been in
the department twenty-four years. He
was appointed a patrolman in 1879, was
made a roundsman in 1888, sergeant in
1884 and captain in 1896. He is a Re-
publican.
Thomas was known to be close to
Devery in the days of the Tammany
Police Board, and was long in com
mand of the Tenderloin Precinct In
March, 1900, the grand jury found
three indictments against him for neg
lect of duty, the presentments charg-
ing Thomas with having failed to sup
press the Tivoli and the Dore in West
Thirty-fifth street, and the Haymar-
ket on Sixth avenue-all notorious re-
sorts. These indictments were dis
missed in the following month. Devery
refused to suspend Thomas when ne
heard of the indictments, saying:
mo man as valuable as he is ought
70 be suspended for any such nom
sense. for that's what 1 consider 1t.
Later, Thomas was transferred from
the Tenderloin, and until six weeks ago
was In charge of Central Park. Then
Gen. Greene transferred him TO the
husv Mulberry street precinct. The
captain at once reported sick. and has
performed no duty since.
In February, 1902. Capt. Thomas paid
100000 for a seven-story apartment
house on West One Hundred ana
Fourth street. He was reported 20
have explained that, although his sal
ary had never been more than WON,
he had followed the advice OF good
friends and made money IN specula,

Summer is the time for mail order
business in our trade" said an OPP
tician who has a large trade in the
Wall street territory. "A man who is
in the habit of carrying his eyeglasses
in his waistcoat pocket when it is cool
enough to wear a full suit of clothes
is more than likely to leave them
around in restaurants. on hotel piaz-
zas or any other place he may hap
pen to lay them down when he begins
to wear f1annels and outing suits. A
number of men won't wear coat-and-
trousers suits simply because they
can't get along without the waistcoat
pockets. To lose a pair of eyeglasses
or spectacles made to order from
prescription and costing anywhere from
IS to SIS is no trifiing matter, to say
nothing of having to get along with a
cheap substitute for two or three days
until we can make another pair. OPP
ticians keep these prescriptions In
books. Just as druggists do medicinal
prescriptions. We are constantly get

There on the beach, JOY was so close

Happiness hung in the air;
Was it the shimmering light of the

ACCIDENTS FEW IN
FOOTBALL GAMES.

The Investigation of Acct
dents in College Football" by
Prof. Edwin G. Dexter, of the
University of Illinois, summer
ICED in the 1908 football guide,
is worth the consideration of
parents who feel inclined to ex-
act from their boys about to
go away to college a promise
not to play football. 1t might
also be probably read by those
who, having no personal inter
est, are opposed to the game on
general principles, as a brutal
sport" From statistics obtain
ed from sixty leading colleges
and universities, extending over
a period from 1898 to 1902, inclu-
sive, Prof. Dexter states that
while in this period 22,766 stu
dents played the game, but 654
were injured sufficiently to in
terfere with their college duties,
but eight of these being injured
permanently and only three kill
ed. Less than 3 per cent. were
injured so as to keep them from
work. From accident insurance
statictics and newspaper tables
Prof. Dexter finds that the num-
Der injured in other forms of
sport, as horseback riding,
swimming and even baseball, is
larger than those hurt in foot
ball. Too much emphasis is laid
on the men who are injured in
the season. Like everything else,
this should be looked at in the
light of proportion. Football is
not a deadly carnage, as many
would have us believe.

TWO Improved Biographies

THE TINES recently received copies
of the new Natural Elementary and the
new Natural Advanced Biographies,
published by the American Book Com
pany, and has taken pleasure in exam
lining them.
These two biographies do not limit
their aim to the bare requirement of
geographical facts. To teach merely
the boundaries of countries and the To-
cations of cities and towns is little more
their real aim than the teaching of his
tory or arithmetic would be. Every
where throughout the books the fact is
kept in mind that the only real interest
in geography lies in showing how the
lives Of people are affected by the differ
ent facts of climate, situation, neigh
boring mountains, rivers, harbors, seas,
CULTS, mines, or forests. 1t is this idea
which takes seemingly uninteresting
facts and arranges them so that the
real unity of nature is seen. The pupil
through the study of these books acquires
the habit of thinking out for himself
the effect which this or that newly ac-
quired fact about same distant country
may have on himself. When he comes
to the study of the geography of this
country he learns to do this still more.
He sees eventually the geographic
reasons for the marvellous growth of
Chicago and for the great extent of the
growth of the steel industry about Pitts
burg although the latter city is far from
the great iron mines of the northern
lake country. He discovers why certain
cities Of the west are becoming great
pork packing centers All of this train
ing is of the kind to help the boy or girl
Of today to become keener in getting
hold of the facts which mean great
economies in the business world and
health and happiness in ordinary life.
Both books are well illustrated though
the majority of the pictures are necessa-
rily small Many of administrations are
reproductions of photographs of scenes
characteristic to the countries about
which the pupil is studying. The maps
are good. A distinct advantage is
scored in this case by having all of
the same class, with two or three ex-
ceptions, drawn on the same scale.
Thus the pupil gets comparative idea
OF the size of the grand divisions by a
glance at the maps. The same is true
OF the several states of the United
States The student will not think,
after look at the maps, that Maryland
is as large as Texas.
In writing the books the authors tried
at every point to embody the sugges-
tons OF the famous Committee of Fiji
teen. In fact the aim throughout was
to take advantage of the latest and best
which science and philosophy have pro-
duced. The result is a series which.
while it makes the pupil study if he
learns, is Notwithstanding no harder
than tae old kind, is more interesting,
and far more valuable. THE TIMES
would suggest that if there are any
schools in the county where these geog-
raphies are not known, the directors
would do well to write to the American
Book Company at Chicago for more
complete information concerning them.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1903-06-26

Life like an arc sweeps back to its
starting point where the circle is COM
plete. Then we stand face to face
with what we we're, pretending
the perfect fitness Of work and wage.
What we gain is match for what
we did. To do right is to meet and
understand righteous God. To lose
for righteousness sake is to gain the
abundance of righteousness In God.
Oh, yes, God pays US with perfect
business. mo man can do we'll but
God hath part in him."
The life excellent, the life you ought
to have and live, is life built upon
your moral convictions, fearless per-
sistence in duty and faith in the com
penSatiOns of GCd.

GRAND OLD DOCTOR.
Or. Perkins Engaged in the Medical
Profession for Fifty Years, Honored.

DR.. Jabez Perkins, dean of the medi-
cal fraternity of Shiawassee county,
was the recipient of an unusual honor
last week in being made an honorary
member of the State Medical Society.
DR.. Perkins has been constant practi-
toner for over fifty years, and during
the civil war was chief surgeon under
Gen. McCook, who died few days ago,
going with him and the army of the
Cumberland, through the Chickamau-
qua campaign.
Those to whom Dr. Perkins minister
ed in the pioneer days of Shiawassee
county, when at many times the roads
were unfit for man or beast to travel
and to whom he was both friend and
physician, to these and their children
his memory is blessed.
The doctor many times worn and
weary drove miles to relieve some suf-
ferer, when he knew there was not a
dollar to be raised for his service, and
again many time he has not taken a
tenth of what was really his due, when
ne knew that his patients were not able
to pay him. In fact DIR. Perkins was
ever generous to fault.
Although not able to be in active SER
vice now, he is still much sought in
counsel
May he live many years and continue
70 let his experience benefit the suffer-
ing.-St. Charles News.
