The vest pocket paddock is not
lock which is designed to securely
guard the contents of the vest pocket,
but one which may be carried in the
vest pocket and used on a door which
is deficient in some good and RELIABLE
fastening. There are said to be many
instances when such an implement
will serve the owner in good stead.
Travelling men, for instance, are fre'
quently compelled to put UP at infe'
rior hotels. where the proper atten-
ton Is not given to the details OF the
establishment, and the matter of locks
and similar things, regarded as OF MI
nor import, are overlooked. linen,
again, the traveller is often compelled
in an emergency to put up with
room which is unsuited for the pur'
pose, with doors and windows I'M
guarded. Armed with a couple OF the
devices referred to he can with little
trouble make himself secure against
the visits of thieves. The apparatus
consists Of fiat steel strip, with one
end turned up and serrated, and
small steel casting. For use the cast
ing is slipped off the strip, the strip
Is inserted in the door frame so that
it's teeth enter the jamb, the door is
pushed shut firmly, forcing the teeth
far into the jamb, and the casting is
replaced ON the strip and locked IN
position by turning the thumbScreW.
With this device it is impossible, 1t Is
said, for marauder to enter room
without using sufficient force to tear

of the Blood II One Wants Bright Eyes
and a Clear Complexion.
Every sensible woman naturally wishes
to appear attractive. She knows the value
of bright eyes, delicate complexion and
lively spirits. She knows also that
good health is at the basis Of her charms,
and that good blood is the source of good
health.
Miss Mamie Conway has complexion
which is the admiration of all who know
her. Asked if she could make any sug-
gestions that would be helpful to others
less fortunate, she said:
my complexion would not have
pleased you, if you had seen it two years
ago. 1t was then about as bad as it
could be, and it gave me great deal OF
dissatisfaction. II you want good
complexion you must take care Of your
health, especially of the condition OF
your blood. My health was at that time

What II Costs to Grow Corn.

Farm renters who pay 81 per acre
for poor land on which to raise corn
and come out in the hoe every year
may read the following and see what
it costs them to grow their crops.
An old corn grower says that when
a crop of sixty bushels to the acre is
secured the corn costs 13 cents a
bushel to produce for so bushels 1t
is Is cents, for 40 bushels it is Is
cents, for So bushels It is % cents and
for 30 bushels it is 80 cents. "These
figures" says the Albany Ledger, ARE
not far out of the way, and it is thus
easy to know when you are selling
corn any below the costs of produc-
ton"

Think mWell" Ihouahts.

Thousands of people actually think
themselves to death every year by al
lowing their minds to dwell on morbid
subjects.
The idea that one has some in
cipient disease in ones system, the
thought of financial ruin, that one is
getting on in life without improving
prOspects-any of these or thousand
similar thoughts may carry healthy
man to a premature grave. melan'
choly thought that fixes itself upon
ones mind needs as much doctoring
as physical disease. 1t needs to be
eradicated from the mind or it will
have just the same result as a ne.
elected disease would have.
Every melancholy thought, every no.
ton and every nagging worry should
be resisted to the utmost, and the pa
tient should be protected by cheerful
thoughts. of which there is a bounti-
full store in every ones possession.
Bright companions are cheaper than
drugs and plasters.

duces morbid condition of body, and

ment to develop. We need more men,

Improved Screwdriver.

The latest improvement in the way
of screwdriver provides for a
monkey wrench attachment for use
when powerful pressure must be
brought to bear where it is desired to
remove screws which have become
securely imbedded in their places by
means of rust or other reasons. This
new implement is made with square
shank of rather stout proportions, and
this enables the workman to make
use of monkey wrench in conjunc.
ton with the screwdriver, and thus
the most firmly imbedded screw may
be easily dislDdged.

"All this had occurred perhaps in

police of st. Petersburg was assassi-

Prince Krapotkine, governor was as
sassinated at Kharkoff.
Martial law was proclaimed in the
provinces of St. Petersburg, Moscow

Nihilists were tried and sentence of
death executed on them in all the
provinces. Hundreds were banished
Yet revolutionary newspapers circu-
lated and assassinations continued to
be- attempted. 1t was a state of war
with the people arrayed against the
hereditary ruling classes.
Warnings of Death.
In the winter of 1880 a reign Of
terror existed in st. Petersburg. The
car received frequent nihilist warn
ings that his end was near. But he
was courageous and a fatalist. He
decided to take his chances with
death and after the death of the en-
press he resumed his old habit of
riding abroad attended only by few
Cossacks.
This gave the revolutionists an OPP
portunity they were ready to improve.
Their preparations for the final at
tempt were carried out with great
elaboration All the streets within
certain radius through which the en-
peror would pass on the day chosen,
March IS, 1881, were assigned to the
various members of the party. Numer-
GUS volunteers were posted. to fol-

JAP ANESE
BATTLESHIP.
Destroyed by fire With a
Loss of 500
Lives.
CAUSE is UNKNOWN.
One of the Mikado's First
Class Battleships, Flag
ship of Togo.
CAUSE IS UNKNOWN.

Toxic, Sept. IL. The Navy De-
partment announces that the battle
ship Mikasa has been destroyed by
fire and the explosion of her maya
zine, causing the loss of 500 lives,
including men of other ships who
went to the rescue.
The fire started from an unknown
cause at midnight on Sunday night,
Sept. 10. Before the officers could
be rescued the fire reached the aft
magazine, which exploded, blowing
a hole in the port side of the vessel
below the water line and causing the
ship to sink.
An investigation is now being held
to determine the cause of the fire.
The Mikasa was first-class battle
ship of 1920 tons displacement.
She was built in England and was
launched in 1902. The battleship
was 400 feet long, had a speed of
over 18 knots and carried crew of
935 officers and men.
She was Admiral Togo's flagship
and led the fleet in the battle of the
Sea of Japan.
In this battle the Mikasa was the
heaviest loser of all the Japanese
ships, having sixty-three killed and
wounded. She approached nearer to
the Russians than any other battle
ship.
The Mikasa was also the flagship
of Admiral Togo after the great
naval battle fought off Port Arthur,
on August 10, 1904, on which occasion
the Japanese flagship also suffered
the most killed on the fighting line.
On that occasion the Mikasa had four
officers and Twenty-Five men killed,
six officers and twenty-nine men
severely wounded and four officers
and Twenty-Five men slightly
wounded.
