the stand he had taken in their dis
position.
Miss Jessie Owens, who is ever
ready to lend hand to the needy,
came bafore the board and reported
two cases of extreme poverty near
Spar, and upon motion one was al

missioner Turner appointed a COM
mittee to investigate their cases and
report to the July meeting of the

Tax Assessor Aver appeared before
the board and asked to be heard on
the subject of the grand jury's recent
findings of 'sserious Irregularities in

ed that the jury's report on the mat

port on the errors, ETC., in the books.
He asked that his books be compared
with that of his predecessor. or foI
that matter. with the books of any
assessor in the state. He stated that

Ten years later he came back after

German MiIitarisIm.

An unusually scandalous case Of
military justice fills public attention
here. Some days ago, at Dessau. two
private soldiers, named Guenther and
yoigt, were convicted of insubordina-
ton to a Sergeant named Heine, and
sentenced to FIVE years penal servitude
and expulsion from the army.
: Heine met the soldiers in 4 dancing
saloon. He was drunk and insulted
some girl friends of Guenther. He
was asked to apologize. Instead of
a%pologizing. he unsheathcd his sword
and wildly struck out on all sides.
Voigt and Guenther disarmed him,
and in the struggle he fell. and while
on the floor he injured another girl.
These are the facts.
At the trial counsel engaged for the
prisoners pleaded that his clients acted
only in self-defelsc. He was sharply
reminded by the prosecution that no
such deferse could be considered: that
it was the duty of the two soldiers to
allow themselves to be killed by Hei1e
rather than raise a hand against him.
That Heine was senterced to three
months imprisonment only puts the
crown on the entire scandalouS proce-
dure. Feeling here runs high at the
trayesty of justice.-London Chronicle.

Mounted on the main frame is the
| steel cab in three divisions, in which
are located the various devices Tor
operating the locomotive. The locomo-
tive is equipped for both straight and
automatic air braking. signaling de-
vices, bell, whistle, headlights, air-send'
ing device, electric air compressor, etc.,
being AS complete in every way with
respect to operating devices as a steam
locomotive.
For purpose of testing this locomo-
tive, six miles of the New York Central
track between Schenectady: and Hof-
mans has been equipped with.a third
rail. The track is practicallys straight
and ballasted to permit maximum
speeds Of seventy to eighty miles per
hour being attained.
The question Of size and exact char
acter Of the suburban cars has not yet
been settled, but from these proposed
improvements thus briefly outlined, the
railroad company anticipates 4 marked
increase in the comfort and safety Of
it's passengers, and consequently a de-
cided increase in suburban business.
Property AUDITING on the railroad will
naturally increase in desirability as a
result of the withdrawal of the annoy
ances unavoidable in the operation Of
the steam passenger locomotive. The
| beautiful territory along the Hudson
and Bronx Rivers and Long Island
Sound, under these favorable condi-
tons, will grow rapidly in popularity
for homeseekers, to the mutual advan-
tage Of the railroad company and OF
the public.
What is also of great Importance, the
adoption of electricity, makes possible
the future reclamation of between
thirty and forty acres of overhead
space in the territory occupied by the
terminal yard in the heart Of the city
Of New York, which, instead Of being
left open as required with steam opera
ton, may be utilized by the company
for superimposed structures in any
msnner best suited for its purpose.

: People who have made tue matter a

easily eXterminated or made harmless.
The phantom pictures which rise and
fall with the click of the ticker fascin-
ate them. and they play the game OF

fact that they have an interest in the

by anything beyond 4 desire to be in

their brokers. These are good GUS
toners for brokers. A sigh over a
statement showing 4 balance on the
wrong side. 4 vow "never 70 do so any
more or an order given Just to get

There is another class OF women

is largely represented. This class sup
ports bucket shops in the residence
parts of the city. like the one which
was raided a few days ago. When
these. women win. they are happy. but
when fortune frowns on them they
are "horrid.''. They want their money
back from the bucket-shop proprietors.
They cry, scold. and finally threaten
to "tell on the mean things who took
their margins. In order to shield them
selves the threat is not often carried
into execution, and the bucket shop
continues to do business at the old
stand. taking money from the women
who Succumb to the temptations OF
the tape. It is refreshing to know that
once in a while a woman gets so
thoroughly angry because of her losses
that she does her share toward break
ing up the bucket-shop business. She
would never do such a thing if ler
speculations were successful-hence all
good citizens should rejoice when she

WHEN PAPER IS EXHAUSTED

Rin the Big Sunday Newspaper and the

At the rate at which forests have
disappeared and are disappearing be-
fore the advance Of the electric tree
telling machine and the pulp mills, It
is only a question of years Wien the
supply will be exhausted and either
other fbres must be used or the prices
of paper return to somewhere near
those Of forty years ago. )
The straw Of all the Cereals, fnclud-
ing rice, are used for paper making to
a considerable extent, but for the white
blanket with which the newspapers
cover the earth morning and evening
wood pulp alone is used.
When we think Of this it is very in
teresting to speculate as to the effect OF
a failure Of this supply and a rise in.
the cost Of paper upon civilization.
The first result would be the disap-
pearance Of the blanket sheets and the
abolition of big head lines. Our news
papers would become compact publi-
cations, Of the pattern Of the Outlook,
Independent and smaller magazines.
The penny paper and probably the
two cent paper would disappear. Copy
would be ruthlessly condensed because
Of the limits of space for a three. OF
even a five Cent paper would be small
Advertising space would be reduced
and the prices for it raised.
The effect Of. such a change upon
the habits of thought Of a nation
would be hardly less radical than the
changes of climate from the d%eforest-
ing Of our mountains which has long
seemed probable.
The destruction of the forests would
certainly bring about the small and
high priced newspaper. We may be
saved from both, however. if the own-
ers of the vast tracts into which for
est lands are now being consolidated
by the great paper making companies
will follow a judicious. business-like
course in their operations.

Less ~Pupctuality

My father was the most punctual
man I ever knew. He was always
ready for family prayers. for meals,
and met every enlargement, social or
business, at the moment. He expected
all Of US to be the same, and taught
us the use and necessity for forming
such habits for the convenience Of all
concerned. I eve knew him late for
Sunday service at the post chapel. He
used to appear some minutes before
the rest of us, in uniform, jokingly
rallying my mother for being late.
and for forgetting something at the
last moment. When he could wait
no longer for her, he would say that
he was off, and. would march along
