You act as though YOU broke from a bar.
You come with many roars
And try to burst open doors;
But we welcome you very we'll.
And after awhile you will tell

You make the wind blow so loud.
You send the mist down like a cloud
And when the sun shines again
You are sure to make IL RAIN

When you come comes the spring.
So we thank thee. March. for what you

We hail to thee. March. long may you live.

The English blackbird is a beautiful
bird and a sweet singer. When full
grown he has a golden bill and a rich
black plumage. But my blackbird had
neither golden bill nor black coat when
he came to me. He was a few weeks old
and was all spots and speckles, Just like
a thrush He grew tame very soon. All
day his little cage swung in the trees;
and at night II was put In the hall. But
our cat eyed him so fiercely that at least
no place was thought safe for the little
bird at night but the corner OF my bed

every morning i was awakened by his

Cheat RertiIIon System

PoStOH1ce Inspector William Will
liams, who is attached to the Denver
office, says the BertilIon system of
Identifying criminals is a failure, and
he offers his own person as proof of his
assertion.
Mr.. Williams was measured by the
Bertillon system and then went to work
to prove how little use it was in de-
tecting felOns. He was weighed at the
time of his measurements and tipped
the scales close to 100 pounds. His
height was recorded as s feet 2 inches.
Now his weight is $50 pounds and he
is 5 feet 4 inches in height. The change
was brought about by training he un-
dertook.
have been submitted to officials of
other places, and the Inspector has sub.
mitted to arrest and has been meas
ured again. In no instance did the
government officials discover that he
was the original of the measurements
and the pictures taken in Denver.
The ability to increase his height
was the one thing that broke down the
certainty of the Bertillon system. 1t
was known that a. STOPPING thief might
learn to walk erect, one with cross eyes
have his optics made straight or a man
with birthmarks be freed from these
signs of identity; but when it was dis
covered that several inches could be
added to the height of a suspected man
or his stature shortened, the detectives
who relied upon the Bertillon system
We're thrown into confusion.
I'VE may be obliged to go back to
the system of taking the thumb prints
Of criminals" said a government in
spectOr today. Were it not for the
ease with which thumbs could be
blurred in their important lines we
could see some hope here. Several i'm
portant captures have been made of no
avail since criminals learned to outwit
us by changing their measurements,
and we are almost ready to discard
that part of our rougues' gallery.
The system Of physical culture taken
up by Mr.. Williams in his experiment
was that of loosening the bones In
their sockets and allowing the space
where they We're pulled apart at the
| joints to fill with cartilage. BY this
method the body is heightened with
out overdevelopment of the muscles,
such as is the case in physical training

AMERICAN CAR SHOPS
FOR ENGLISH TOWN
Big Corporation to Build Rolling Stock
for British Railways at Manchester

:, MANCHESTER, England, Jan. T.
The American Car and Foundry COM,
pany, the largest freight and -passen-i
ger, car concern in the world, is estab-'
fishing an English branch at Trafford
Park, near here.
This company is to supply the rolling
stock for the Baker Street & Waterloo
railway. The three factors which have
induced it to establish an English
branch at Manchester are the adyan-
tages of the ship canal, the costliness
of London as a port, and the greater
supply of skilled labor in the north
of England.
The company considered the offers
made by the London docks and also
overtures from the London & South
western Railway cmpanyi at South
ampton, but neither Of the ports can
compete with Manchester.
The company which controls fifteen
large works in the United States, ac-
quired the ground last week and yes
terday scores of men were engaged in
putting down sidings. The delivery Of
finished cars will commence early in
March.
The erection Of the workshops will be
done by local labor, and they are es-
timated to cost 100000.

Human Nature

they especially enjoy turning them
loose.
The man who is accustomed to wood
bottomed chairs at home is the man
who complains most about the hard
seats on the train.
The woman who finds the most fault
If she ever does have to stand is the
one who, when the opportunity comes,
expects to occupy two or three seats
with parcels.
The man who loafs away three-quar-
ters Of his time is the one who is the
most unreasonably impatient If the
train is a few minutes late.
The woman who hates children is
the one who thinks it brutal that she
isn't permitted to take her dog into the
chair car.
The man who "eats around at the
25-cent restaurants is the surest kick
err in the dining car.
The man who is in a business that
considers 200 per cent legitimate is
the one who walls loudest about extor-
tionate fares,
The woman who lives in a four-room
fiat is the one who finds most fault
with the close quarters of the sleeping

badly crippled by the gale off Grand Ma

brigantine prize crew of eight men. who
are trying to work the vessel into this

The Ohio was caught in a heavy gale
and soon sprung a leak All hands were
called to the pumps, but so intense was
the cold that the men became frost bitten
and in despair abandoned the attempt to
free the brigantine of water. heavy
sea smashed the skylight and, filling the
cabin with water, nearly drowned the wife
of Capt Ryan, but she managed to find
safety in the uppermost bunk

the sufferings of the exhausted crew
were intense throughout Wednesday
night.
At o'clock yesterday morning, the
weather having moderated considerably,
a distress signal on the Ohio was seen
by the schooner Roosevelt, which was
returning from a Grand Banks fishing
trip. Capt. James McHenry, of the schoon-
er, called for volunteers and, launching
two dories after hard battle with a
heavy sea. succeeded in taking the nine
persons Off the brigantine. All were
severely frost-bitten and half starved.

Wear Gray Stockings

when women come to understand
the beautiful harmony and dainty ef-
fects of steel gray stockings in con-
trast with the dark skirts they usually
wear on ordinary occasions, expect
to see them quite as popular as the
blacks that now obtain so universally"
G. E. Barnard, hosiery buyer, informs
me. CAS- rule, the average woman
wears a black skirt around the house
or on the street, and nothing is more
effective than dark gray in conjunction
with It. The combination is one not
usually seen. Women are not afraid of
it, but they just don't seem to know
anything about 1t. The color har-
monizes well with any complexion
dark or fair-and an ensemble of black
skirt and gray waist is not only artistic
but a quiet delight to the eye. It is of

out to speak, and not about waists.
Black stockings are trim and neat, but
when worn with black skirt. black
shoes and doubtless even black jack

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Interest in the.

before the grand jury, left America JAM.

this announcement came statement from
her attorneys. among them James M.
Beck, who said his client had sailed ac-
coTding to previous arrangement and in
dependent of the grand jury investigation
into the Morse matter, followed by one
from District Attorney Jerome's office, to
the effect that counsel for Mrs. Gelshenen
could not deny that my letter to Mrs.
Gelshenen was in his hands before she
sailed for Europe
This letter is the one made public last
night, directed to Mrs. Gelshenen, notify
ing her that failure to serve a subpoena
Tor her appearance resulted in the pub
Hcation of her name as one of the wit
nesses wanted
The district attorney is also quoted to-
night as saying that the called
Dodge Morse case is a live wire," that
several members of the legal fraternity in
have been short circuited,'' and that
the voltage is. very high and the am
pereage sufficient to make anyone dance
who may handle it,
Another interesting development was
the appearance of W. R. Gelshenen, a son
of Mrs. w. B. Gelshenen, before the grand
jury today. The purport of his testimony
was not made public. 1t is understood,
however, that he told of his mothers
departure for EurOpe several dayS ago
Mrs. Gelshenen was booked to sail on
the Deutschland, which will leave New
York for European cruise tomorrow.
A suite, engaged in her name, it is said,
will be occupied by relatives. A large
amount of baggage was shipped from her
home to the ship today. Beside w. R.,

death yesterday as result of her hus-

Powerless to escape, the woman was
held on the tracks until the train bore
down upon the couple, literally cutting

this city several days ago and drank
heavily. Learning the whereabouts of

pleaded the wife, and then, pointing
down the track, she called the mans
attention to the approach of the train.
Henphill suddenly seized the un-
fortunate woman. and, throwing her to
the tracks, held her there until the
train ended both their lives.

The payment of rebates practically
is a reduction of rate. 1t amounts to
the same thing, and the road that pays
them suffers just to that extent. Roads
centering in Chicago are not paying
any rebates today and have not done so
for two or three years. do not know
what is being done in other parts Of
the country, but we in Chicago have
stopped them entirely. If railroad
discriminates against small shipper
in favor of large one it is certain to
be hit by boomerang in the long run.
No matter how secretly discrimination
may be carried on, the truth is bound
to come out and the railroad will suffer
thereby.
There is no need of more legisla-
tion to prevent rebates They already
are forbidden by law. The railroads in
their own interest do not want to pay
them, but under present conditions. If
one company pays it's competitors are
compelled to pay also or else lose their
share of the business
