Homer Davenport.

Persons interested in art and national politics are very much interested in the lecture of Homer Davenport, the famous cartoonist at the Jefferson theatre Wednesday night. Several years ago MT Davenport began a meteoric career on the New York Journal and he has made famous throughout the world on account of his cartoons on MT Hanna, then cam paign manager for Mr. Mckinley. He originated the idea of picturing Mr. Han na in a suit of clothes checked off with dollar marks. Every cartoonist in the country took the ida up and thereafter MT. Hanna was pictured in nearly every newspaper in the United States in his dollar mark suit of clothes.
 Last year MT. Davenport tiring of his constant work on the Journal, was in- duced to go on the lecture platform and so far his tour has been great success. His lecture is made up of funny incl dents in his career and he adds spice to the talk by drawing cartoons hastily on large sheets of paper that can be seen plainly by every person in the audience.

THE report of the interstate commerce
commission on railroad accidents in the
United States is made the subject Of
comparisons with similar statistics for
England, which are not to the credit of
American railway management. The
mileage of American railways exceed
that of the United Kingdom by about
ten to one, yet there twice as many pas
sengers are carried as here. In Great
Britain in 1908 twenty-five passengers
were killed in train accidents, as against
1914 in this country, and 1913 killed by
other causes on railroads, as contrasted
with 157 here. To total number of pas
sengers injured on railways here was
1913, as against 1851 there. In Great
Britain there were IS cases of collision
of passenger trains and 81 cases of de-
railment. N the United States the col
lisions numbered 825 and the derailment
442. During the same year while we had
5342 collisions and 4034 derailments of
freight trains in the United Kingdom
there we're but 80 such collisions and
only 10 derailments.

The rock upon which most rural CO.
operative enterprises are wrecked is dis
trust-lack of confidence in members of
the cooperative association or the active
manager. To prevent this as far as pos
sible, great care should be exercised in
selecting members for the association.
Only farmers of good standing should be
included. They should have unsullied
regulations for honesty, and if they pos
sess good business ability, so much the
better. Then the manager must be a
good business man and an honest and
honorable one With these two items
carefully looked after, there should be
no reason for suspicion. Stand by your
manager and board of directors. If the
profits of the business are sometimes not
as large as you think they should be, do
not condemn until you are sure there is
just cause for complaint.-New England

Hotel Inside the Grounds.

One unique feature of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition is the magnificent
hotel within the grounds known as the
Inside Inn. Here all the appointments
and accommodations of modern, first
class, metropolitan hotel are provided at
rates as reasonable as are charged for
similar service in any city in the union.
This hotel is 400 feet wide by 800 feet
long, three stories high, and is on high
ground near the Plateau of States, and
in the rear of the Art Palaces, Festival
Hall, the Cascade Gardens and other
portions of the main picture of the Ex-

quick access to all the points of greatest
interest and amusement. The hotel has
2,257 sleeping rooms, dining room and
cafe seating $500 persons and is well
provided with spacious parlors and wait
ing rooms. A guest at this hotel has
only to pay the hotel rate. which covers
his daily admission to the Fair, and he
is free from the usual annoyance and
loss of time incident to the crush OF the
crowds passing through the gates.
IQe INSIDE 1nQ is unCer Tue SuperF:S
ion of the Exposition authorities and
the prime motive is to provide first class
accommodations at the most reasonable
rates possible. Rooms are $1.50, $500
and $3.50 per day. The more elaborate
suites at higher price, provide the lux
uries that are to some extent demanded.
The Inn is at the southeast entrance Of
the grounds and is reached by direct
lines of cars running west from Union
Station.

She Shut.

A story is told of Count Schouvaloff,
q former Russian ambassador to Eng
land. He greatly admired Englishwo-
men and was heartily annoyed when
he offended any one of them. While
he was in London he learned English,
and, having heard one famous English
beauty say ''Shut upv' to another, he
imagined it to be a phrase of polite
agreement, such as ''Say no more" In
this sense he himself addressed it to
an illustrious lady the next night at
dinner, to the lady's CONSERVATION, and
his own when later he discovered his
mistake
