The Death Penalty.

A little thing sometimes reeults in
death. Thus mere scratch, insignifi-
cant cuts or puny boils have paid the
death penalty. 1t is wise to have Buck
lens Arnica Salve ever handy. It's the
best salve on earth and will prevent ia
tality when burns, sores, ulcers and
piles threaten. Only 25c at Slocum

American view regarding some of the

claim of the judge advocate, Lieut.

Won't Amend Constitution

= PROVIDENCE, R. T., Sept. 15.-The
Legislature met in extraordinary ses-

by Gov. Garvin to- determine
whether or not it will submit certain
constitutional amendments to the peo-

The first is known as the "constitu-

THE WANTED CALLERS
OLD LADY IN CHICAGO ADvER-
TIsEs FOR FRIENDS
The Girl Who Seeks Out Some Poor
Old Lady Who Is Alone and Spends
an Hour With Her Now and Then, Is
Doing Real Charity Work, for Which
She Will Have Rich Reward

A pathetic little advertisement ap-
Feared recently in a Chicago paper
asking ladies kindly to call upon Mrs.
So and SO at a certain number. 1t was
inserted by dear old lady who said
she had lived stranger for fifteen
years at that address and no one had
ever called upon her. She was lonely,
wanted friends, and as the modern way
is to advertise for whatever one wants,
she took that means of letting her
neighbors know of her friendly DESIRES
1t is not likely that this thing could
happen in a city the size of ST. Paul,
but in New York, Chicago Or Boston,
one could starve to death without ones
next door neighbor being the wiser.
1t is this that makes a large city SO
undesirable for the poor. But the old
lady in question was not starving for
food, but for companionship and So
: ciability. She wanted friends and hui
man interests. So do we all.
Now that pathetic little notice
teaches US a lesson. Perhaps each one
of us may live next door to some lonely
old lady whose life we might brighten
by an occasional visit. The young
woman who has not an Old lady
friend is unfortunate. For the girl
who goes through life selfishly, having
to do with none but those of her own
age, is Sinking responsibility. And as
we receive exactly the same treatment
we mete out to others. those of us who
do not try to brighten the lives of older
people, will find when our time comes
that we will have a lonesome old age.
e. The girl who, makes friends of older
people is wiser than the one who de-
votes her time solely to her own
friends. 1t is excellent practice in I'M
selfshness and patience to choose some
old person to visit. The friendly visit
ing which has been developed by char
ity workers is the most valuable form
of philantrophy. 1t is not done in a
prying professional way, but is one

Mrs. Phipps Is to Have the Income From
$75o,oo0 steel Bonds

DENVER, Col, Sept. 14.-Laurence c..

Japanese Levy Taxes in. Manchuria

MUKDEN, Sept. 15.-The Japanese
are causing excitement among the ma.
tlves of Manchufia as they advance

fund, blanket note being given for
the payment of each Village. on the
basis of population, leaving the resi-
dents to divide pro rata. Few of these
notes have yet been collected in cash,
sbut Japanese officers are collecting
tax levied for war expenses. They
have even advised the governor of
Mukden. to discontinue the salt tax,
as it will be readjusted upon Jap

pense of maintaining large military es-
adjustments in the Philippines, Lieut.
Gen. Chaffee, chief of staff, recently
cabled an inquiry to Gen. Wade, COM
handing the Philippine division, ask
ing if conditions in the islands would
not justify the reduction of the present
military force there from four regi-
ments of cavalry and nine of Infantry

"a reply from Gen. Wade expressing the
opinion that the proposed reduction OF
