PRESIDENTS CHILDREN
 NOT CRUEL TO TURKEY
DEFENDS THEM IN AN OFFICIAL
 STATEMENT.

No Truth whatever in Report That
 They Chased, Tessed md Picked the
 Gift of Mir. Vose of Rhode Island on
 White House Grounds--As a Matter
 of Fact the Bird Was Dressed When
 shipped.
 Washington, Nov. 29.-William Loeb, jr., as secretary to the president, to-day issued an official signed statement de- nying that President Roosevelt's chil- dren had cruelty treated the Thanks giving turkey sent to the president by MT. vose, of Rhode Island. In the statement Mr. Loeb says:
 "The presidents attention has just been called to a news item which con- tains an account of supposed maltreat- ment by his children of the Thanks giving turkey which MT. Vose kindly sent to the White house In accordance with his annual outcome. The article states that the children released the turkey and chased it all over the White house grounds, plucking at it and teas- ing 1t, and yelling and laughing until the bird was well-nigh exhausted, while the president looked on and laughed. As matter of fact, the turkey was dressed when Mir. Vose sent 1t and was used for Thanksgiving dinner. There was a bronze live turkey sent from Milwaukee. This turkey was never taken out of it's box, but was shipped to Oyster Bay because of its beauty, and is living peaceably with the rest of the inhabitants of the barnyard. No such incident as that recounted has ever taken place since the president has been in the White house. and nothing in the remotest degree resembling it has ever taken place
 Secretary Loeb, after the statement had been issued, said: No attention would have been paid to this attack if 1t had been upon the president person. ally, but as 1t has been extended to members of his family he feels that he ought to reply to it"

After dressing for dinner last evening he left his room, and, upon arriving at the head of the staircase, suddenly eluded the watehful attendant, sprang forward, cleared the banister and fell thre ? flights to the ground. In his fall he narrowly escaped striking the wife of the Mexican minister, General Gal lardo. The vestibule was filled with well-d dressed nlc q and women, who were proceeding to the dining hall. The band was playing when the tragic incl dent occurred. Great confusion at once prevailed, but doctors speedily arrived
 
 and Chapman was conveyed to his room, where he succumbed almost im- mediately.
 New York, Nov. 29. Elverton R. Chapman, jr. was the youngest son of E. R. Chapman, senior member of the firm of Chapman & Co, bankers, at No. 80 Broadway.
 Young Chapman graduated from ox- ford and prepared for college at Eton, spending most of his time abroad. where his most intimate friends lived. He visited his father this fall, having sailed for England on October 20.

DOUBTS THEIR EFFECTIVENESS
German Admiralty Reluctantly Asks
 S375,OOO for Submarines.

BedIin, Nov. 2y.-AdmlTaIty Secretary Won Tirpitz has reluctantly in cluded in the naval budget an item of $375,0OO for submarine ex- periments. He only did So because the other powers, especially Great Britain, are creating a fleet of under. sea torpedo boats. Admiral Won Tir- pitz's advisers do not doubt that boats can be made so as to be readily naviga- ble under water, but they doubt their practical use as a fighting weapon on the high seas, though they believe they can be used in harbor defence.

weight 81 . Growing child.


The weight of n growing child is the
most important index to Its general
health. The standard OF weight for
growing children. that usually given
by authorities in the matter. is that at
1--WE years of age child should weigh
about as many pounds as it is inches
high. AS a rule. this will not be much
over or under forty pounds. Children
who come OF large parents should
weigh something more than that. The
rate of increase should be about two
pounds for every inch OF growth, With
a tendency for the weight to exceed
this standard proportionntely rather
than to fall below it. When II child is
rather heavier in proportion to its
height than this standard 1t Is n sign
Of good health. IL the child IS s-awing
RAPIDLY it should not be allowed to fall
much below 1t without being made to
rest more than has been the custom be-
fore. A deficiency Of weight in proper
ton to height is always an unfavorable
sign. Amy interruption in the progress
Of increase Of weight, especially dur
Ing the continuance Of growth, must
be danger signal that should not be
neglected by those interested in the pa
tipnt

When he dug his spoon into the sew

HEROIC sELF SACRIFICE.

speaking Of heroism,' said navy
officer nj his club few evenings ago,
at Is rare that such an example is seen

Il was fortitude. passive courage, that

sacrifice, that was most conspicuous.
Our fee. was off the harbor on
blockade duty when one day II Spanish
merchant vessel managed to slip in
without being discovered. Hynson con.
ceived the idea Of capturing the vessel
by night attack, and he succeeded in
doing 80. But as lie could not take the
vessel out of harbor. for the reason
that she was under the close rnnge
Of the enemy's guns, Hynson set fire
to the vessel In doing so he burned
both his arms SO badly that he carried
them In sings for several days. While
In this disabled condition terrific
squall came I'D and played havoc with
several Of our little vessels, and the one
on which Hynson was serving was cap
sized. Hynson and one of the other of
f1cers managed to get hold of floating
spar. but as 1t was not sufficient to
keep them both afloat lIynson let go
his hold and in few moments sank to
his death. New York Tribune.

Don't Worry.
This is easier said than done

This is easier said than done,
yet it may be some help to con
slider the matter. If the cause
is something over which you
have no control it is obvious
that worrying will not help the
matter in the least. On the

troll you have only to act.
When you have a cold and fear
an attack of pneumonia, buy a

Where 1t Always Rains.

There is group of islands to the
south Of New Zealand called the Sis
tiers, or Seven Sisters. which are re-
puted to be subjected to practically
constant rainfall. The same may be
said Of the islands and mainland Of III
ezra del Fuego, save for the differ
ence that the rain often takes the form
Of sleet and snow. On line running
round the world from 4 degrees to or
9 degrees there are patches over which
rain seldom ceases to fall. This is
called the zone Of constant precipita-
tion," but at the same time there are
several localities along with 1t with
very little rainfall.

It Cevers the Territory.

For the past five years The
Daily Nonpareil Of Council
Bluffs, Iowa, has attracted more
attention than any other news
paper in the state. The reason
for this is that it has undergone
a period of marvellous develop
ment from a newspaper Of linn
tied circulation to one of state
Importance, having the largest
circulation of any morning
newspaper in the state with
two exceptions. 1t is under
stood that in no other territory
in the state of the same area
and population is the percent
age of people who take any one
newspaper so large as it is in
southwestern Iowa of those
who take The Nonpareil. This
has been the natural result Of
the policy of the paper to give
southwestern Iowa news in de-
tail. Every issue reflects the
news of this section in mirror
like detail and accuracy. No
one who does not take the Non
pareil can keep posted on the
news of this territory. If you
are not already taking it the
publisher of this paper will
order it for you.
