lawyers who are used to examining
witnesses know we'll that sometimes
they must let a man tell the story in
his own way or he may not talk at
all, says an English newspaper. A
county court judge tells some Of his
odd experiences with eccentric and
stupid witnesses.
One man was brought up for not
paying his rent. His past record was
looked into, and it was found that one
week in four years was marked with
a cross, indicating that the rent for
that week had not been paid.
How did that week come to be miss
ed?" the lawyer asked.
''Ill never pay that week." said the
man, shaking his head stubbOrnly.
But 1 am afraid you will have to.
You see, you admit it's owing"
We'll. I'll just tell yer 'ow it was.
You see we were 'aving rabbit for
supper, and my wife"
He seemed to be settling down for
a long yarn, and the lawyer inter-
rupted him. Never mind about the
rabbit. Tell me about the rent"
I'm telling yer. Ye see, we were
'aving rabbit for supper, and my wife
'ad got new kettle, and we don't
ave rabbit every"
20, come, come! Just tell me about
the rent" He regarded the lawyer
rather contemptuously and began at
the beginning:
I'm telling you If you'll only listen.
We were 'aving rabbit for supper, an
my wife 'ad a new kettle, and we
don't 'av rabbit every night for sup
per, and my wife lad just put the ket-
tie. the new kettle"
''Oh, never mind about the kettle! Do
get to the rent"
I'm going to, amt II" he in
quired, angrily. "And my wife 'ad a
new kettle, and we don't 'av rabbit
every night for supper, and my wife
'ad just put the kettIe-the new ket-

No Smoking.

Mrs. Aston, the head of the Aston
family, attended, during her recent Eu-
ropean tour, a garden party in the
English midlands, accordin to the
Baltimore Herald
Mrs. Astor's dignity is great. II re-
sembles that of a duchess of the old
school. Hence a certain young Off
Ger should have been wiser at the gar
den party than to say to her as he
took out his cigarette case:

answered. mo gentleman has ever

Judge Parker is said to tell as a

the Philadelphia Ledger, who invited
his sweetheart to take a buggy ride
with him. The young woman had a

ed rather lonesome bit of road the
young man announced:

The young man proved to be enter

VERMONT ANn MAINE.

The interest in the elections in Yer
mont and Maine, which occur on Sept.
and 70 respectfully. is very great In
each state all State House officers and
congressman are to be elected.
The interest is due to the fact the
result will likely indicate how the
country viii vote in the presidential
election and viii have an influence on
that election.
No one. of course. expects the DEM
ocrats will carry either state. In each
the Republican majority is large, but
if it should not he as large as it us
uaHy is the Democrats would have
good grounds for thinking they will
elect the next President.
In 1892. the year Mr.. Cleveland was
elected the second time, the Republic
can majority in Vermont was 1902,
and in Maine 1881, in the September
elections These majorities were much
smaller than it was expected they
would be. In 1900. when the country
seemed to he with the RNublican par
~ the Republican majority in Yer
mont was 31,312 and in Maine 34132
in the September elections.
From these figures it can be seen
readily why there is so much interest
in the Vermont and Maine elections
The result Of them will, it is believed
indicate how the country will vote in
November. II will also have a great
influence on the November election.
There is a large number of voters that
have no political convictions. Their
ambition is to vote on the winning
side
The Republicans are making extra
ordinary efforts to get out a big vote.
1t is said all of their best speakers are
in either Vermont or Maine, and the
amount of money they are spending for
campaign literature and in other ways
is said to be very large. 1t is evident
they are trying to make it appear from
the elections in these two states that
their party still has the confidence of
the country in a marked degree.
In an interview, published, on Thurs
day. Mr. TaEgart, chairman of the
Democratic National Committee. said
there was much apathy among Repub-
Leans in each of the states. and pre-
dicted the majorities would not be
greater than they were in the Septem-
Der elections of 1892 If he should
prove to be right the country would be
almost convinced of the success of the
Democratic party in November, and
there would be big movement of in
dependent voters and voters who want
to be on the winning side to the Dem
ocratic standard.

If there is the slightest doubt in the
minds of any that Dandruff germs do
not exist, their belief is compelled by
the fact that rabbit innoculated with
the germs became bald in six weeks
time.
1t must be apparent to any person
therefore that the only prevention of
badness is the destruction of the germ
which act is successfully accomplish
ed in one hundred per cent. Of cases
by the application Of Newbros Herpi-

germ which causes badness, and can

THE PASSING OF THE HOME.

Newspapers from all sections Of the
| country are reporting the extensive
building Of new flats" to meet the de-
mands of city residents. Sociologists
are looking at this tendency in doubt
and apparently fearing it's result. To
them it means the passing of the home
and there doesn't seem much doubt
but that their fears have a basis.
If their contentious are correct the
coming Of the flat" is one of the sad
dest phases of city life. 1t seems to be
the natural outgrowth of modern con-
ditions, the high prices of realty in
and about the city almost compelling
all but the wealthy to rent their dwell
ing places. The fiat" is the result
of an attempt to furnish as cheaply
as possible a substitute for homes.
And yet the essential qualities seem to
be lacking.
home has been defined as a tract
of land, big or little. partly occupied
by dwelling of some sort, however
humble. The dwelling is essentially
private and the permanent abode of
the members of the family till they
separate to begin active life. Here it is
that the mother the moulder of char
acter, gathers the children about her
and imparts, in the quiet of evening,
the great lessons of life. Home associa-
tons are formed that linger through
life and our greatest men have always
dwelt lovingly in their later years over
the memories of these scenes in the old
home, however humble it may have
been.
In the fiat these elements seems to
be missing. Families above and below
and around interfere with the home
privacy. The children of the careful
and the careless mother mingle in the
common hallway in play and carefully
taught lessons become in grave danger
of being lost. Then, too, the families
fit from fiat" to flat" before the
surroundings become thoroughly IA
miliar and thus home associations can
not be formed.
But perhaps the most serious phase
of "fiat-life" is the loss of the play
ground. For some reason unknown it
seems that man must come in contact
with the mother earth if his vitality is
to be maintained. The vigor of city
life is being constantly recruited from
the country. Nature seems to demand
that humanity keep in close touch with
her. at least during its early years.
And who can estimate the benefits to
the children of the backyard where
their imaginations turn hay-lofts into
castles, beam poles into armies, and
broom-sticks into warlike chargers,
and whose hooks and crannies at twi-
light they people with living forms!
This is a luxury that doesn't fall to the
child of the fiat"
The solution of the problem of saw
ing the home seems to have been
solved in some cities. Corporations
are buying small but comfortable lots
and dwellings and disposing of them
to families of moderate means for
small monthly installments, just suffi-
GENTLY large to allow a reasonable in
terest on the capital invested by the
original purchaser. This plan is meet
ing with considerable favor wherever
it has been tried and home-lovers are
hoping that it will sound the death
knell of the fiat"

news Of fighting there will appear in
the dispat ches.
Vladivostok would be rich prize for
the Japanese-richer than Port Arthur
except in a military sense. Immense
stores Of various sorts of commodities
nave been gathered there. much of
which could not he destroyed speedily
in an emergency. The great terminal
facilities of the Trans Siberian Rail-
road are located there. With these
terminals in the hands of the japanese
the operation of the road would be
seriously impeded; and. from the Rus
sian military viewpoint, the road is
working altogether too slowly even
now. Admiral Skrydloff is supposed to
be the COMMUNICATIVE chief at Vladi-
vostok. He is a man of genius and
daring. He has a plenty of guns and
ammunition. Should Oyama send
force against him it is a foregone con-
clusion that there would result some
extremely bloody fighting, probably as
bloody as that around Port Arthur.

The wonders of Christian Science
pass all belief In Omaha the other
day, at a convention of the scientists,
Mrs. Wakeley testified that on a recent
occasion she saw a little girl in a
buggy drawn by two horses that were
running away. Instantly she gave the
little girl treatment for fear" and the
child was able to guide the animals
safely for two miles and get them
under complete control. Another sister
testified that she was driving a horse
that became frightened at an automo-
bile and tried to run away. She gave
the horse treatment for fright" and
it at once became quiet and tractable.
There ought to be a suggestion in this
for automobile owners. Let them be-
come experts in giving treatment for
fright" and thus protect the horse
driving public from runaways by
horses frightened by automobiles.

not tended to mar or reduce their

and wealth. like charity. covers a null
titude of sins. So long as the money
or the alimony-holds out in large
quantities and the entertainments are
sumptuous, the dresses splendid and
the jewels magnificent, so long do the
divorces reign as social queens"
And the evil of their example is far
reaching. It first effects their daugh-
ters and sons, sitting in them that re-
spect for the cardinal virtues that IS
the inherent right Of every young per-
son. Then there is a large element in
the population that takes the smart set
as model This element is weakened
morally by the examples that are set
for it. Thus the poison obtains wide
circulation. The social leaders have
large opportunities for doing good, but
they seem to he incapable of taking
advantage of them.
