Of steel or iron. but copper. the most
convenient form being the common
compound Of copper and sulphur known
as blue vitriol. copper sulphate. Every
school laboratory contains some beau

Every schoolboy for generations has
dabbled with these blue crystals or
has watched his teacher use them for
ordinary class room experiments. And
yet who would have imagined that a
pinch Of these crystals dissolved In
the water tank in the attic or in the

that its use would insure healthful

It has been known for long time
that copper destroys bacteria, but the

have generally believed that the dose

ABUSE OF HOSPITALITY.

The Way 1t Was Rebuked by an
Oriental PHILOSOPHERS.
Hospitality is an excellent thing"
said the story teller, but it is open to
abuse. Let me tell you how the orien-
tai hospitality Of Nasr Eddin, great
man of the east, was abused many
years ago.
"From distant village poor man
came to Nasr Eddin and made him a
present of a hare. Nasr Eddin was de.
lighted with his gift The poor man on
the strength Of it stayed with him a
month
"a short time after stranger came
with his entire family to Nasr Eddin's
house.
"'We,' the stranger explained, are
friends Of the man who gave you the
hare
''Nasr Eddin welcomed the visitors
warmly, and they stayed two weeks
They had not been gone long when
another family OF strangers arrived
"'Whom have l the honor to re-
ceive? said Nasr Eddin
'''Friends OF the friends Of the man
who gave you the hare was the reply.
'Nasr Eddin looked grave He did
not invite these guests indoors. He
served them on the lawn with cups Of
some clear fluid. Tasting this fluid,
they made wry faces, for it was moth.
ing but warm water.
"'What is this you offer us, oh. Nasr
Eddin?' the strangers said reproach-
fully.
THE host replied:
"'Oh, that Is the sauce OF the sauce
Of the hare"

Test Of q Thrashing Machine

One Of the big thrashing machines
in Kansas was Of late tried under full
pressure and with full crew to see
what amount Of thrashed. winnowed
and cleaned wheat it could turn out in
q given time. 1t was found that fifty
bushels were run into the receiving
wagon in eight minutes, or at the rate
Of six and one-half bushels minute.
In 142 minutes 418 bushels were turn
ed out, the machinery being three
times stopped for some necessary ad-
justments. The general result showed
that one OF the big machines would
turn out on an average three bushels a
minute from sun to sun. or well on
toward $500 bushels a day, affording
one among innumerable reasons why
America Is such a big country and in

He Knew Lord Byron

There is now living at Nish, Servia,
according to the Indianapolis News, a
man who was well acquainted with
Lord Byron. His name is Stovan
Zikitsch, and he is III years old.
Though one Of the oldest men living
today, he is wonderfully vigorous. with
clear memory, good eyesight and
strong, hearty voice. He has much to
say of his adventures in fighting
against the Turks in his earlier years.
He took part in the war which gave
the Greeks their freedom. and he re.
calls Lord Byron as young, curly
headed Englishman, much loved by the
Greeks, whose death, occurring during
the insurrection, they mourned deeply.
Lord Byron has been dead eighty
years.

LEWIS HOOVER
A Wayne County Boy Newspaper

Lewis Hoover, who was born and
raised in Wayne county, and who
for the last eleven years has been
secretary of the Commercial Club
of Indianapolis, has resigned his po-
sition to become secretary Of the
Whitesides Elastic Steel Wheel COM
pany. Perhaps there has never been
man of any organization Of its
kind in the city Of Indianapolis who
has done more gopd for the city than
has Mr.. Hoover. He was always at
his desk and always hard at work.
He was very popular with Indiana
polls newspaper men and he made
chums of all Of them. His office was
always open to the newspaper men
and he made them feel at home. In
leaving his office Mr.. Hoover made
the following statement in regard to
the pencil pushers: ~ thank the
newspaper men Of Indianapolis with
all my heart for the part they have
taken in making my work here sue
cessful. I have the heartiest coop
Grafton Of the various newspaper
representatives and [ want to say
that no small part Of whatever sue
cess I may have achieved has been
due to my friends Of the press" Mr..
Hoover is well known in Richmond
as he has a number of relatives here
and often visits in the city.

WORK HARD AND WELL
Palladium Office Crowded With
Presents for the Children
R>"au for Distribution.

To the casual observer the Pal

department store. Toys, candies,
nuts, fruits and clothing of all sorts
We're piled high all over the Office.
Everything that children could wish
for could be found here. Dolls, toy
pianos and animals for the girls; po-
10 sticks, rubber balls and skates
for the boys and candies and cloth
ing for both sexes.
Yesterday morning at 10 O'Clock
Miss Mary Shiveley, Mrs. Beck, Mrs.
George Smith and Mrs. John Kamp,
members of the committee selected
by the pastors of the different
churches to distribute the presents
met at the Palladium Office and
started earnestly at their work. Be

at least the greatest part OF them,

merchants in the city and early III

in neat paper bags and with th'
toys and clothing We're wrapped VI
in a bundle labeled with the name o.
the child and put aside to await tn

Yesterday afternoon about 3
O'Clock lady accompanied by two
small children went to the Associat-
ed Charities office in South Fifth
street en- the pretext of obtaining
clothing for the children. After be-
ing there for a few moments the
woman went away and left the chill
dren and did not return. Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Gambler was called and after
questioning the children found that
their names were Florence and Geo.
rge Alderman, aged five and six
years old and that their home was
near Camden. The children said
that their father was dead and that
short time ago their mother re-
married. Their stepfather did not
like the children and it seems that
large amount of trouble has been
caused in the home by their pres
ence. Mrs. Gambler, after listening
to their story, decided to send them
to the Home Of the Friendless, where
they will be kept until their mother
either calls for them or arrangements
are made to have them placed in an

One of the teachers asked her class
of small boys and girls if any of
them knew who Santa Claus was.
No answer to this question was made
for some time until finally a little
boy in the rear part of the room
raised his hand and volunteered the
information that he knew who the
given of Christmas gifts was. The
teacher asked him to tell the class
and without a moment 5 hesitation

He was introduced by Congressman
Marion Griffith in his opening state

acquit him on this trial of the
charge of numbering his twin sister,
Elizabeth Gillespie, who was myster-
