From the Philadelphia Record.

1AOlu the 7 1llldQelDnld RECORD.
Kittanning, Pa, Nov. 24.-Dr. C. A.
Flower of this place has returned
from st. Louis. mystifed still, but
covered with presents worth about
$4,000. He has also promised to re-
move to India within year to be-
come private physician to Rajah Tipe
Sahigh, a dignitary of whose exist
ence DR.. Flower was in complete ig-
norance until some days ago, when
he was confronted with the Rajah' s
courier in st. Louis.
Eleven years ago, while at Chicago
attending the Worlds Fair, DR.. Flow
er was instrumental in saving the foot
Of young foreigner who had been
trampled on by camel. The lad,
who appeared to be a Hindoo, pressed
on the physician peculiar medal and
took in exchange the physicians card.
Some weeks ago DR.. Flower was
sent a copy of a Western paper in
which his name was mentioned. Would
he call at the Indian embassy at St.
Louis, bringing with him medal
which had been given him for services
at Chicago in 1898 by a young native
of India? The doctor hunted up his
medal and hurried to st. Louis, the
advertisement reading that he should
be there before Nov. %.
The Kittanning physician was at
once handed presents from the new
Rajah Tipe Sahib, who, it seems, was
the lad whose foot he had saved at
Chicago. The Indian dignitary hoped
that the American doctor would ac-
cept his poor presents and would come
to India to live as his private physi-
clan.
Dr. Flower will go to India on
April /.

RivaI Organizntfnnn

The man who had been keeping his
seat in crowded street car spoke at
last to the young woman who had
been cycling him intently for five min
utes or longer. says the Chicago Trib-
une.
Il know 1 ought to get up and let
you have my seat, madam he said,
but I'm pledged against that sort of
thing. 1 have just joined the s'Sit
Still Club an organization we have
formed in our part of town, and if
| should violate the solemn obligation
/ took when 1 became a member of
that body I should be expelled and held
up to the execration of all the other
members"
That is all right, sir" replied the
young woman You mustn't mind
my looking at you. I'm a member of
the Stand and Stare Club"
After which she continued to stand
and stare at him.

THE METHODIST CONFERENCE.

The recurrence Of the annual SEES

Of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
South Is q matter Of close and direct
concern TO tens Of thousands Of per
sons, In all parts OF the state. So
great are the interests Of the Metho-
dist church in Georgia that, for the
better handling OF the church business.
il has been deemed advisable TO divide
the state into two conferences; yet the
division is geographical only, and for
/ the expediting Of the work IN senti-
nent and high purpose. the church
throughout the STAKE is one, and the
membership in each section follows
with pride and pleasure the story OF
the growth and widening influence Of
the organization in other sections.
The excellent system which the Meth
odists have Of supplying the pulpits Of
their churches tends to highten the in
terest with which the proceedings Of
each conference is regarded. who

question that every Methodist church
member desires to have answered at
the earliest possible moment, hence
the conference proceedings are followed
closely day after day until the an

Methodist system of rotation in pull

therefore wise. Under it the congre-

indefinite period a pastor with whom

lay down a pastorate that is disa gree

saves many a heart.ache, in addition
TO which it distributes both the talents
Of its preachers and the desirable pas

manner remarkable for its equity.

Wesleys and founded by them in Geor-

THE GOOSE STEP.
From the Medical RECORD.

Every one witnessing military re-
view in Germany or Austria for the
first time must have been impressed
by the peculiar stifr-kneed, slammine
step adopted on parade by the infan-
try AT the Congress of Naturallsts
and Physicians, which recently met In
Breslau, this ''goose-step." as IT is pop
ularly called, was strongly condemned.
DR.. Thalwitzer read a paper on the
subject in which he showed that the
adoption of this ridiculous step &C
counts for numerous knee and foot
complaints among the troops. Sixty
per cent. Of the sores on the feet OF
the men are In consequence OF persis-
tent adherence to this antiquated step.

From the New York word.


AS the result OF his exhaustive ex-
periments with a squad Of United
States soldiers doing heavy gymna-
SUM work under restricted diet
Prof. Chittenden Of Yale. concludes
that most people eat too much.
The men We're worked hard in gym
nasium and gained steadily and great
~ in strength while they were being
fed far less than the average diet
They were called the Starvation
Squad but their photographs taken
at the close of the experiment do not
look ike those OF starving men, rath-
er Ike those Of competent gymnasts.
Says Prof. Chittenden in his recently
published Physiological Economy in
Nutrition" Our results JUS
tify the conviction that the minimal
prOteid requirements OF the healthy
nsan under ordinary conditions Of life
are far below the generally accepted
dietary standards, and far below the
amounts called for by the acquired
tastes of the generality of mankind.
The amount Of proteid or albuminous
food needed daily fer the actual phys
biological wants Of the body is not more
than one-haIf Of the proteid food ordi-
narily consumed by the average man.
Body-weight (when once adjusted to
the new leveD. health, strength, men
tai and physical vigor and endurance
can be maintained with at least one
half Of the proteid food ordinarily con-
sumed."
Proteids are the chemical elements
that most people get by a meat diet.
though beans, peas and some other
vegetables are also strong in proteids.
Eat less meat is the practical equiva-
lent of Prof. Chittenden's advice.
1t has often been noticed by anna
teur mountaineers that Adirondack
guides and Swiss mountain men eat
less solid food than the average Wall
street broker, who does little physical
labor.

SOLID PENNsLvAyIa.

Immediately after the presidential
election the Philadelphia Ledger had
a good deal 10 say about the solid
South" and the "aloofness of the
South" 1t was not at all pleased with
the fact that Mr.. Roosevelt got no
electoral votes in the cotton states. 1t
assumed that the entire vote Of the
South was cast for the Democratic
1icket-that there was no division of
sentiment.
On Sunday, the consolidated vote of
Pennsylvania having been made pub
lie, the Ledger printed an editorial
commencing the Republicans of that
state for the large majority which they
gave Mr.. Roosevelt. The title OF the
article was solid Pennsylvania"
But why didn't the Ledger speak Of
the aloofness OF Pennsylvania? If it
is good thing for Pennsylvania TO
be solid politically why isn't 1t
good thing for Georgia or Virginia
or any other Southern state TO be solid
politically? Why does the Ledger
think 1t a good thing for Pennsylvania
to be solid politically and bad thing
for Georgia TO be solid?
But, as a matter OF fact, was there
not a greater division of sentiment in
either Georgia or Virginia in the re-
cent election than there was in Penn
sylvania? The total vote cast in the
latter state was 1,2ss.7ss. OF which the
Republican ticket received about two
thirds.
Here in Georgia the total vote was
about $4,000. Of which the Democratic
ticket received $1,000. not quite two
thirds. In Virginia the Democratic
ticket didn't receive two-thirds of the
votes cast.
The vote of Georgia and Virginia is
taken to make comparison with the
vote OF Pennsylvania because we have
seen no statement of the total vote of
any other Southern state. Judging
from this comparison there was a
greater division of sentiment in the
foregoing Southern states than there
was In Pennsylvania. What reason,
therefore, has the Philadelphia Ledger
Tor critlcising the South for being solid
or for her aloofness? And. after all,
the result of the election was a solid
North against a solid South.
In one respect the North is far
ahead Of the South, namely, in her
socialistic vote. In Pennsylvania there
were cast for Debs. the Socialistlc can
didate for President. 21.eSs votes. For
the same candidate there were cast in
Georgia 1877 and In Virginia Sc votes.
Socialism is making rapid Roadway in
the North, but It hasn't got a foothold
In the South. and 1t is doubtful II It
ever will. The time may not be far
in the future when the North will de-
pend upon the South to save the coun-
try from the Socialistic forces that are
organizing there now. The South is
the American and conservative section
OF the country, and as such viii be
called upon eventually TO conduct the
republic along the lines marked out
by its founders.

Reflections Of a bachelor.

From the New York Press.
The train that your relatives take to

Women would subtract even more
years from their age than they do ex-

people part their hair down the mid
die.
When woman's husband has made
money in the stock market she keeps
it as secret as if she were a brass

she thinks a man is proposing to her,

A Linguistic Tragedy.
From the New York Time

From the New York Times.
A Korean maiden coy was she, whose
parents were passing rich;
A Russian of noble blood was he, with
name that ended in witch"
Her matronymic he couldn't pronounce,
so simply called her Dear
She merrily tried to babble his name,
but found it too awfully queer"
Now every one knows that by Korean
law, which cannot be gainsafd
The hubby takes his true wifes name
the moment that they are wed;
So pity the lot of this wretched Russ
who couldn't pronounce his name,
Nor envy the fate of the Korean maid
to whom he ascribed the blame.
To them in the course OF time were
born twin offspring-a girl and
boy;
And then terrible strife arose that
clouded the parents Joy,
AS to whether the ks" or the "o's''
or the "o's" in the names should
predominant.
Or whether the "vitch's" or skis" or
offs" should determine the chill
dren's fate.
There might be two ends 70 this hor-
rid tale, as you have probably
guessed:
I've tried them both. and Tn Jigger-
ed quite If know which is the
best
(Which is an ungrammatical way to
say. If you stick to the very let
ter.
That 1--WE tried them both, and I'm
jiggered quite If / know which
Is the better.'D
And this is the first: They solved the
puzzle by calling them bob"
and "Sue."
And lived their lives in connubial bliss
In the town OF Tungwuan-pu.
And this is the other: The war broke
out and the Russ fell fighting his
foe,
And the widow and orphans annexed a
Jap and reside in Pitsuwo.

NEW PHASE OF THE sMoor cAs,

$500 AA-A7E VT AAhf4 SuOOI CASE.
There is going to be good deal Of
talk about the political power of the
Mormon Church in the newspapers
this winter. The hearings in the
Smoot case will be resumed as soon as
Congress assemblies, and it is the un-
derstanding that particular attention
viii be given to the efforts the Nor
mon Church is making to get political
power.
During the recess Of Congress those
who are back Of the effort to keep Mr..
Smoot out Of the Senate have been
gathering testimony as to the purposes
Of the Mormon Church In this direc-
ton, and it is said that there will be
revelations made that will be start
ling.
The Mormons claim that they are
not inimical in any manner to the in
situations Of the country, but it is evil
dent that there is a great deal OF
doubt of their sincerity in this respect.
The Mormon Church is great power
In politics in Utah. Idaho and one or
two other of the Far Western states.
That the Mormon leaders are striving
to increase the political influence of
their church there isn't any doubt.
Having this idea firmly fixed in their
minds the men and women who are the
prosecutors in the smoot case will
strive to bring matters before the in
vestigating committee that will set the
whole country talking about the Nor
mons and the menace they are to the
institutions of this country.

A dispatch from Duluth, Mimi, says
that an agent of Booker T. Washing
ton has made arrangements for the
purchase Of a large tract of land in
Beltrami county. that state. for the
purpose of establishing thereon a COL
ony OF Southern negroes. Some of
the proposed colonists, it is reported,
have already arrived at the place. It
would be interesting TO know if the
promoters told the colonists that Min
nesota Is a very cold state, in which
winter lasts for about as much as six
months, with snow on the ground most
of the time. The average negro has
about as much horror of cold and ice
as he has Of the proverbial lake of fire
and birthstone. And there is good rea-
son for it. Statistics show that in cold
climates the black man is particularly
susceptible to lung diseases.
