root in its new lodgment and grown
to maturity.
Another plainsman contended that
II was merely the evolution OF the
long-horn cattle that once roamed the
plains into the sleek Herefords of the

Albert Keechler, president Of the
stock yards company, concluded that
as none Of the reasons assigned by

RING FAMOUS BELLS
WHITTINGToN CHIMES HAVE
AGAIN BEEN REVIVED.
London Minister Harmonizes Setting
and Twelve Bells Will Peal Out
Famous Chimes--Clergyman
an Expert in Their Use.

London.-Bow bells are once more to
ring out in chimes above the noise of
Lordons traffic. This is chiefly due to
the ksen interest taken in historic
church by the rector, Rev. A. W. Hutton,
who holds a curious record. He was
early In life ordained an English cler-
gyman, but then became Roman Cath
Ole, leaving that church after seven
years. He was at one time familiar as
the keeper of the Gladstone library, at
the National Liberal club, and has re-

them, as far back as 1863. That was
after the great fire, when Wrenn had re-
built the church as 1t is now known, and
there Is no doubt In the minds OF
antiquarians that the metal used was
from the old bells which had melted in
that outbreak. The firm was then Les
ter & Pack, and their records show that
the tenor bell was cast In 1869.
1t was recast by them in 1873 and In
1862 nine more were added. Two more
making dozen. were hung In 1881. The
tenor weighs SO hundredweight. For
the purpose of the new chimes an auto
matte apparatus is being fitted to the
clock by Clerkenwell firm, and the
bells will ring at the quarters. MIR

HIS PATENT CURES
MEDICINES ARE PUT ON SAME
BASIS AS LIQUOR.
Internal Revenue Department De-
clares Manufacturers Must Pay
Rectifier's Licensc-Druggists
to Pay Saloon Tax.

Observation-Disclosures of pat.
ent medicines which contain distilled
liquors have been put upon the same
plane as rectifiers and liquor dealers.
Druggists who handle these patent
medicines are put In the saloonkeepers
category, and as such must take out
the regular liquor dealers license.
The commissioner of internal rev.
enne has given decision here which
brought about this new status Of the
patent medicine maker and seller. BY
doing SO he reversed the decision OF
his department made many years ago.
The new ruling will not become op.
erative until December /. This Is done
to prevent an injustice.
The commissioner. in Q letter of In
struction to collectors of internal rev
enue. says that there are many com.
pounds on the market going under the
names OF medicines that are composed
chiefly Of distilled spirits. without the
addition Of drugs or medicines In suf
ficient quantities to change material
ly the character of the whisky.
He authorizes collectors to impose
the special tax upon manufacturers OF
every compound composed Of distilled
spirits. even though drugs are declared
to have been added thereto. when
their presence is not discoverable by
chemical analysis or It is found that
the quantity Of drugs In the prepara
tion Is 30 small as to have no ap
preciable effect on the liquor"
"The same ruling" declares the
commissioner. "applies to every alco
holic compound labeled as q remedy
for diseases and containing. In addi
tion to distilled spirits, only substances
or ingredients which, however larg'
their quantity. are not of character
to impart any medicinal quality to thu
compound"
Collectors are instructed to send ou
notices to all druggists and merchant,
dealing In proprietary medicines. tina
after December 1 they will be re
quired to pay the special tax as liquol
dealers.
While no statement Is made by tn
commissioner as to the medicines tina
will be affected. It lie believed tha

nurses went to Japan. They were re-

that the Medical Department of the

the coffin. The same observation holds
doubly true of the tramp who has it,
for the reason that he has small OPP
portunity to protect himself from the
weather while he is i'll.
Thieving Tramps Shot.
Not a few of these wayfarers are
killed in their prowlngs through the
country. They are tempted to make
levies upon hen roosts and even pig
pens, and the farmer in many sections
occasionally reaches for his double
barreled gun and Injuries the fellow to
the extent Of bringing about gangrene
and death by that means. The tramps
bad blood and lack Of cleanliness gem
orally predispose him to this poison
Of the gunshot. Not infreQuently, of
course the heavy shot in the gun
leaves the corpse where it fell. Again,
where the man is injured and trailed
down, he may become a candidate for
death in prison, as many courts
throughout the country have an idea
that states prison for a criminally
disposed tramp is much the cheapest
disposition of the man for life.
The barrel houses victim from the
tramp family is one fthe most pitiful
of spectacles connected with the tramp
death roll. The lowest rung in the
ladder of life is reached by this miser-
able specimen of manhood, who finds
his death in the low, dark, reeking
back rooms of the barrel house Joint,
There, when death has come in unex-
pectedly to the keeper of the place,
the victim most frequently has fallen
out of his chair to be found in the
morning, crumpled, stiff and stark on
the floor--the death that one would
spare a dog if he could.
Within a few years a new menace
has come to the tramp in the roadway
1t is the automobile built for speed
ing. In the last year a number OF
tramps have died under the wheels of
these 1liers over the country roads.
Probably they will never approach the
menace that the railroad train is, but
they are worth Tho consideration of
the profession"
As nobody has ever been credited
with seeing the proverbial dead
mule" so nobody is suspected of ever
having seen reformed tramp. But
there are stories from the wheat coun-
try and from the COW country of these
fellows "shanghaied" from through
freight trains at water stations and
harnessed to the reaper or to the
chaps" and the saddle, finally to
come to the spirit of labor, to adopt
it's philosophy, and at last to die
respected citizens of community.
But these examples are few "Once

University Boys Luggage.

Far out Of the ordinary is the lug
gage with which the average univer-
sity boy arrives at the dormitories at
Woodland avenue and Thirty eighth
street, and it is as varied as it is ex-
traordinary. One student can bring
all his necessities in suit case, while
another requires a veritable mountain
of trunks and boxes. One youth ar
rived at the same time with his
steamer trunk and festive box from
a crack of which protruded stray
notes from Chopin and Beethoven.
One thing noticed in all this constant
ly arriving impedimenta is the extras.
No matter how much luggage a stu
dent has there is always something
forgotten, so that the average arrival
carries with him from one to ten ar
ticles, often disdalning to have them
wrapped. 1t is nothing to come from
the train with football under one
arm and a fencing-girl cushion under
the other. Tennis racquets and base
ball clubs are some of the commonest
weapons with which these followers of
Minerva are armed.-Philadelp Rec
