CAMPAIGN FOB A NEW ONE
Manufacturers of Novelties Working Overtime on Ornaments Symbolic

Baggage checks are also duplicated as attachments for chains and fobs. Your choice of nom inees may be had either in relief letter Ing or engraved. Manufacturers of nov city notions are working overtime now adays turning out specialties emblemat- ic of the campaign.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 Seldom has a novelty shown at the Jacques caused more talk of an en- thusiastic character than the unique aerial novelty that the European ex- perts, Delmore and Lee, are present. ing this week. It Is of so original a character, and the work is of such a daring nature, that the spectators have to hold their breath while the reckless young men go revolving about on their swinging ladder. It is "a novelty that everyone ought to see, and the large audiences that attend each afternoon and evening would seem to indicate that about everyone in town is anxious to see it. There is so much comedy in the rest of the bill, and it is of so varied n character, that the audiences are kept laughing aII the time. Especially is this the case while Dean Edsall and Arthur Forbes are presenting "The Two Ru- bies'' and Rosaire and T1oveto are go- ing through their eccentric knock about act. Others who contribute to the laughter are the inimitable Knox Wilson, Swift and Barton, Miss Lil- Han Ashley, the two Ashtons and the electrograph. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons, 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

THERE WAS A MIGHTY SPLASH.

denly took a notion to bolt from his keeper at the close of his act. He was crossing the plank bridge leading ito his quarters at the time. The rail- ing was not intended to stand the i'm pact of bear, and when Bumbc struck 1t there was crash, 8 dismal grunt, and then a mighty splash. The next minute the luckless Bumbo was swept, struggling furiously, under the planking by the current.
 Sig. Spessardi, the trainer, and his wife rushed frantically to the other end of the covered runway, where the lagoon empties in Coney Island creek. After about ten minutes Bumbc emerged. A large crowd of spectators had gathered meanwhile. When Bum bo was brought ashore the manager looked his huge carcass over, and gave orders for a funeral. Spessardi would not listen to him. He ran for one of the barrels lying near, and with the aid of his wife, laid his cum bersome pet over it head down. For half hour they rolled Bumbo on the barrel There were no visible re- suits.
 Spessardi then thought of the hos, pital. He sent a hurry call for an ambulance. When the surgeon arrived he was indignant, but the tears oi Spessardi and his wife prevailed, and he prescribed an injection of brandy After this t@eatment and more rolling Bumbo suddenly opened his eyes groaned. and dropped off the barrel
 The ambulance surgeon said Bum bo must be put in a warm room i'm mediately, or he would die from ex posture. Bumbo was placed in a wagol and taken to the steamroom at the bathing pavilion, and was kept there until evening. At length he was de- clared ready to return to his quarters and in a much intoxicated condition he was received there by the joyful Spessardi

DISCIPLINE IN GERMAN ARMY.

The noted soldier and historian, Theodore Ayrault Dodge, was educat- ed in Berlin. and at q dinner party, apropos of German discipline, he once said:
 '"Ehe German soldier must never ap pear in public except in uniform, Even when he is on furlough he must not, under any circumstances, wear civilian dress
 "Well, Schwarts, a young lieutenant of cavalry, during my residence in Berlin was one day engaged in some adventure or other, and put on, to disguise himself. suit of black cloth. Dressed in this suit he was passing down an unfrequented street when he came face to face with his colonel.
 Detected in so grave a misdomean- or. Swartz proved himself possessed of a resourceful mind. He said to tho colonel, in bass voice, different from his own:
 "tCan you tell me sir, where Lieu, tenant Swartz lives? I am his brother from the country and l have come to pay him visit
 "The colonel readily and politely gave him the desired information and passed on.
 "The lieutenant congratulated him. self on his escape. He hurried home and put on his uniform, Duty late that afternoon called him before the colonel again. He saluted with confi- dence. The colonel regarded him odd | ly.

solid enough But it isn't, really When 1t came into the hands of the baker as wheaton flour it only con tained water to the extent of IT per cent. However, in working up the materials into dough, by kneading and other manipulation, and in the bak. ing, great change takes place, with the result that the quantity of water has more than doubled The wheaton flour loaf, as matter of fact, contains close upon 40 per cent. of water. Curiously enough, its value as food Is increased thereby. The percentage of water in the crust is about half that in the crumb.
 Fresh eggs, on the other hand, are composed. of no less than 65 per cent. of water.
 We are all fond of poultry, and 1t will therefore be particularly interest ing to learn what the analysts have to say as to the quantity of water we buy when we order bird"
 Geese, being, as a rule, very well furnished with fat, have low propor- tion of water in their composition only 3S per cent. in fact, But young turkeys, chickens, and ducks. on the contrary, have very large proportion about 70 per cent. Piegons go higher still, managing to reach the surprising figure of 75 per cent. of water.
 When 8 housekeeper goes to her butchers and chooses nice little joint of, say, 12 or 14 pounds, she little dreams, when she takes out her purse to pay, that nine pounds or 10H pounds of the superfine cut is simply water.
