Cleaning. and Miss Josie Brennan. 10
years old. of No. 11s4 Bayard avenue,
daughter Of Martin s, Brennan, who died
two months ago, overlooked the fact last
night that they must secure a special dis
pensation to allow them to be married by
Catholic priest without the publication
of the bans.
They met the first barrier in the path
to matrimony when they went to the
home of the Reverend Father E. Casey,
pastor Of ST. James Catholic Church, on
Tamm avenue, near Wade avenue.
Though Father Casey 10 friend Of the
couple. he was not the pastor of Mr.. Cor
coran or Miss Brennan. This imposed an
additional obstacle. for while the pastor
of the bride can dispense with the publi-
cation of two Of the bans required, an
outside priest cannot dispense with the
publication Of any.
The couple secured q license at o'clock
in the afternoon and went to the home of
the Reverend Father Casey about s
O'Clock. He refused to marry them. tell

in fact that he determined to take
short walk Not having been out Of the
house since last Saturday morning, the
mild summer air had very e1hilarating
effect on the Senator and he concluded he
would walk to the market place. four or
five squares distant.
He strolled along easily under the ample
shade trees that adorn the sidewalks OF
the beautiful residential section in which
his home is located, thoroughly enjoying
himself Arrived at the market, General
Cockrell went about as usual. making his
purchases for the day.
After leaving the market, the General
continued his walk; in all. being out about
an hour. He returned to the house 1eel-

Cockrell Is the fact that his right arm Is
bandaged so tightly that he cannot use II

OUT THERE WITH JOHNNY.

The wise and cunning diplomats go on ex-
 changing notes And yet the warning navies try to keep on
 sinking boats. The monarchs in their stately halls un-
 meaning smiles bestow On lowing women, richly clad, whom youth
 left Nong ago, And in the country Mother Earth her good
 ness reaffirms, Oh, would that I were there to-day with
 Johnny, digging worms. The eager miiiionaires contend for all the
 golden stores The bold adventurers set sail for strange
 far-distant shorea;s Around the pit where hopes are wrecked
 and hearts are crushed the cries Of men who seem halt fren3ied In a crazy chorus rise, While statesmen eaoquently name the dan
 gers we should Shun, And irony and scorn are heaped upon them
 when they've done. The world Is full of trouble, there are wars
 and more to come, And many man who proudly boasts to-
 morrow shall be dumb: Ambition goads the eager crowds; the
 judge, Tn somber gown Who yesterday was chsered, day is hoot-
 ed through the town; From small to great we toll and let our
 masters name the terms And envy care-free Johnny who is out
 there digging worms. -S E. Riser, in Chicago Record Herald.

CITIES COLLECT THE DUST
German Municipalities Guard Care fully Against the Spread of
 Certain Diseases.

As is well known, many diseases are widely disseminated in cities by the dust that fills the air and percolates into houses and vehicles Of every sort. To minimize as far as possible the danger to the public health from this cause the municipal regulations of Berlin insist that refuse, ashes, and all that is gener- ally though inaccurately summarized by the term sdust" should be carried through the streets in airtight recepta- cles. This, says the Chicago Chronicle. has set ingenuity to work in the inveR- tion of both dustbing and dustcarts, and by means of suitable arrangements in the latter 1t has been found possible to take away household refuse without detiling the streets with either the of fensive smells or the infectious dust from which we suffer here.
 More perfect than any dustcart is the substitution system" By this plan each householder has two dustbins, of which, however, only one is In his ac- tual possession at a time. This, when full, is carried away bodily in the dust cart, in which has been brought back the empty one for use until the cart calls again.

DOCTORS DO TASTE DRUGS
Not Qualified to Practice Until They Have Learned the Flavor of
 Their Medicines.

"Do doctors know how thedr own med icine tastes?" was question put to a group of physicians, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
 ITO be sure," said one, "but we have hard woGk to convince our patients that we do. If you only knew how this beastly stuff tastes, doctor, you would not ask me to take it'-that is what they say. And they are hard-headed people, too, who say that--people who are by no means raving in deliriunn. It's hard ever to convince them that a doctor has tasting acquaintance with his medicine.
 How did you find out about it?' is one of their trump questions. You have never been laid up with all the dis eases in the dictionary. How did you learn what the different remedies taste hke?' It never occurs to the average patient that tasting drugs is a part of the medical students education, and that no man Is qualified to practice until he has learned the fiasSS~ of the medicines he ex- pects to Drescssaa.,'

COMING OF THE COYOTES.
Ranchers in Western Washington Surprised at Their Appearance
 Formerly Unknown in Region.

For several years coyotes in increasing x numbers have been bothering ranehers of western Washington. Their appear ance has caused much surprise, because old-&imers declare that in the early days these pestiferous animals were entirely unknown in this part of the Cascade mountains. Investigation recently made by number of wealthy sheep ranchers disclosed that the coyotes have come into the Puget sound region through the migration of eastern Washington sheep. which are annually driven In focls from the sage-brush plains of central Wash Sngton into the grazing grounds along the summit of the Cascades The coy- otes follow the fiocks and easily wander down the mountain trails to the open grass country lying south of the Puget sound basin It is found that in sim liar manner the coyotes have gradually migrated from the Rocky mountain states to the Pacific coast The Puget sound coyote is smaller and more com pact than those of the sage-brush coun- try. Instead of hunting sheep and oth- CT large game, he has degenerated into pilfering hen roosts and sometimes robs pantries and outhouses around farms. This has bred in him the cunning and duplicity of the fox. So fertile of ex- pedient is he that one is scarcely ever seen by daylight and much less captured. His weird howlings chiefly proclaim his presence.

ORIGIN OF THE CUSTOM
The Putting of Coins In Foundation
 Stone of New Building Based on Ghastly Practice.

There Is nothing especially impressive coins under the foundation stone of a new building, especially if the denomi- nation of the coins is modest. Yet thiA harmless practice is the shadow of an older tragic custom. The money stands theoretically, for the ransom of the hu- man being who by ancient superstition should have been buried in It's place. Otherwise, 1t was held, the building would not stand firm and endure.
 There was a time when this particu- lar kind of human sacrifice had a vogue extending to most parts of the world Even in England skeletons have been found imbedded in the bases of castle walls, and there is record of one German fortress at the building of which child was bought from its moth CT with hard cash and walled in to the tdonjon tower-the unnatural mother. according to the story, looking on the while. EfHgies of human beings are still used in some parts of Europe as harm less substitutes, and in remoter and more ruthless places the old custom crops out from time to time in all it's grim reality.
 It was not long ago that at Mosdok, in the Caucasus, three builders were ar rested for Kidnapping a lad. Afterward the body was found walled into a tower they were at work upon. Within the last half century two children, a boy and girl, were, it was reported. walled into a block house by some la tborers at Duga, in Asiatic Turkey.

He Caught His Train,
 Thanks to the Landlord

A SOUTHERN Missouri exchange TA tells of travelling man who
 stopped one night in a hotel ill small Ozark county town and left word with the host to be called at 3:30 o'clock so that he might catch a train. Tn order to accede to the gpest's re quest, the landlord had to remain up all night, as he had ino clerk and no alarm clock. He found it hard to keep awake, and when 3:30 o'clock finally did come he was in surly frame of mind. Knocking on the guests door, he said: "Git up. It's 3:30." In B sleepy tone of voice the guest replied: "Oh. guess I'll let that train go and sleep until o'clock" Well, l guess not" said the landlord. I've stayed up all night to git you up and you're goin' to git up.' The guest caught the early train. Kansas City Star.
