Holiday for a Hen

Rusticity has lost the sentiment of
the pastoral if it ever existed outside
of the poets imagination, but still re-
tains a good deal of broad humor. For
sheer hilarity 1t may be doubted wheth-
er a scene recently witnessed at 70
fingen, in the Swiss canton Argau, has
ever been excelled. One of the farmers
Of the district has hen that has laid
this season her one thousandth egg,
and the record was one which the viii
lage felt itself bound to celebrate. The
houses We're beflagged, as if for royal
visit; neighboring villages were invited,
the united populations marched in pro-
cession with bands to the farmstead
OF this remarkable hen and there half
drowned themselves in flowing bowls
of small beer, while speeches and
poems to the fame of the feathered
heroine of the day were declaimed in
public. A memorable day.--London

BAD BILLS SELL WELL
Spurious Confederate Notes Bring
More Than Genuine Ones at
Auction

Gentlemen, / offer you now probably
the most unique lot of money that has
ever been put up for SALE" said Auc-
tioneer Kennedy at the sale of the
Ezekiel Nichols collection of old coins
and paper currency held yesterday
afternoon at the Collectors club in
East Twenty-siXth street. Then he
quoted this verse of a despondent Con-
federate poet, written on the back of a
Confederate bill:
Representing nothing on Gods earth
now,
And naught in the water below it;
AS pledge of a nation now dead and
gone,
Keep it, dear fried, and show it.
The eleven specimens offered for sale
were Of the denominations of S., $40, $40,
and $50, and all showed signs of good
deal more wear than the average Con-
federate bill. All of the bills with the
exception of two were stamped "Coun-
terfelt," and these bore the word
written across the face. Expert lu-
mismatists examined each SPECIMEN md
pronounced them to be unquestionably
counterfeits.
The real subject of discussion among
the bidders was how could anybody
dream of deriving profit from such
counterfeiting. Bills of any denomina-
tion up to $40 can be bought by the
hundred from / to 10 cents apiece. But
the bundle of bills sold for a sum fa-
greater than they would have brought
had they been genuine. the purchasers
being desirous of getting the bills as
curiosties.-N York Times.

Taken at His Word

Justin Mccarthy tells this story of his
early journalistic experiences. Soon
after arriving in London he obtained
an Introduction to an editor who had
started what was then the novel feat
ure of publishing short stories in news
papers. Mr.. Mccarthy wrote q story
for him and sent 1t in. A few days
later he called at the office to learn
its fate.
"I hope you can see your way to ac-
cept it," he said timidly.
Yes, and sixty more like it, re-
piled the editor.
Nothing more was heard of Mr.. Nc
Carthy for several months. When he
eventually put in an appearance at the
office he had a large parcel with him.
what have you got there?" asked
the editor, seeing him unite the cord.
"These are the sixty stories you asked
me to write" answered his visitor. The
editor gasped for breath.
"But L didn't ask you to write any
thing like that number" he said.
you expressed your willingness to
accept sixty stories like the one 1 wrote
on approval, and here they are. I mere
ly took you at your word" quoth the
young Irishman. The stories were not
refused.-London Tit-Bits.

The Many Phases of Caiarrh
Catarrh may appear in the household
In the form of a slight cold or cough,
an attack of la grippe, or even hay
fever.
Peruna meets these invasions square
ly and repulses the enemy before it
gains a foothold.
Therefore, Peruna is household
remedy. Used at the correct time it
often obviates the necessity of con-
tinued doctoring.
Perhaps in no other way can the wis
dom of economy and foresight be so
forcibly expressed as In keeping on
hand q bottle of Peruna to protect the
various members of the family against
the encroachments of catarrh.
We have on file thousands of testi-
monials from heads of families, located
north and south, east and west.
These letters praise Peruna for its
efficient protection of the family against
catarrh.

eoMPERS IS REFLECTED
Again Chosen President Of American
Federation Of Labor by Unani-
nous Vote
a AeancInInlI r,rnnn

BY Associated Press
P1TTSBURG, Nov 25.-The silver
anniversary of the American Fedora
tion of Labor adjourned tonight to
meet next year at Minneapolis on
date not yet selected.
Samuel Gompers of Washington was
reelected president by practically a
unanimous vote, only two votes having
been cast against him. The retirement
OF Thomas I. Kidd as vice president
advanced the candidates behind that
office and all other candidates for re-
election were successful except eighth
Vice president w. ]. Spencer of Day
ton, Ohio, who was defeated for the
seventh vice presidency by w. D. Huber
of Indianapolis. Joseph L. Valentine
of Cincinnati was the only other officer
elected, defeating W. u. Mahon of
Detroit. Frank X. Foster of Boston
and James IT. Wilson of New York were
chosen to represent the federation at
the British Trades and Labor congress
and Thomas A. Rikert of New York
was elected to attend the Canadian
labor congress.
Upon the announcement OF the elec-
ton Of President Gompers Delegate
Barnes of Chicago made an effort to
offer q resolution declaring Mr.. Comp
ers unfair. He was loudly Kissed. The
chair refused to accept the resolution
and ruled that delegates objecting to
the reelection of officers should present
their objections in writing to the secre-
tary. The convention closed what is
said to have been the most successful
meeting ever held by the federation.

A SONG oE STREET LABOR

They are working. beneath the sun,
In it's red-hot binding glare,
In the dust from the toiling team
In the noise of the thoroughfare
Sec them swing and bend, far down to
the end
With the rhythm of the strokes they
bear.
The cords of the sinewy arms
Stand out like the cables twist;
No blow shall miss and no stroke shall
fail
From the grasp of the brawny fist,
AS the shoulder swings when the pick
axe rings
And the hand springs firm from the
wrist
Let the feet of the dainty shod
Pass by on the other side,
Where the youth of the slender back
and limb
Stands watching-the listless eyed;
While with sweat and with pain and
the long days strain
These toil--and are satisfied.

illustrated Magazine.

Retain Maiden Names

When woman is married in this
country her maiden name is seldom
mentioned. Many people to whom she
is very we'll known have never heard
1t. In France. on the contrary, there
are constant reminders of the earlier
dignity. In Belgium marriage does
not extinguished it, for many married
women often combine the old name
with the new. Moreover they put the
maiden name last, thus giving it the
greater distinction. We can illustrate
this by supposing the custom to pre-
vail in this country. In that case Miss
Brown when she married Mr.. Robin
son would have her visiting cards
printed: Mrs. Robinson Brown. "
this double barrelled arrangement does
not give the Belgian wife better So
cial status than the English wife's,
but it is very soothing to feminine
pride.-London Chronicle.

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health and
Disease

The mention of sulphur will recall to
many of us the early days when our
mothers and grandmothers gave us our
daily dose of sulphur and molasses
every spring anC fall.
It was the universal spring and fall
"blood purifier" tonic and cure-all, and
mind you, this old-fashioned remedy
was not without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable, and a large
quantity had to be taken to get any
effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
effects of sulphur in palatable, con-
centrated form, so that single grain
Is far more effective than tablespoon
tul of the crude sulphur.
In recent years, research and expert
ment have proven that the best sulphur
for medicinal use is that obtained from
Calcium Calcium Sulphide) and sold in
drug stores under the name of Stuart g
Calcium Waters. They are small choc-
plate coated pellets and contain the ac-
tive medicinal principle of sulphur in
highly concentrated, effective form.
Few people are aware Of the value of
this form of sulphur in restoring and
maintaining bodily vigor and health |;
sulphur acts directly on the liver and
excretory organs and purifies and en-
riches the blood by the prompt elimina-
ton of waste material
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall, but the
crudity and mpurit" of ordinary
flowers Of sulphur were often worse
than the disease. and cannot compare
with the modern concentrated prepara-
tions of sulphur, of which Stuart's CAL
cium Waters is undoubtedly the best
and most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for liver
and kidney troubles and cure constipa-
tion and purify the blood I'm a way that
often surprises patient and physician
alike.
DR.. r. M. wilkins while experiment.
ing with sulphur remedies soon found
that the sulphur from Calcium was su
perior to any other form. He says:
"For liver kidney and blood troubles,
especially when resulting from consti-
patton or malaria, l have been sur
prlsed at the results obtained from
Stuarts Calcium Waters. In patients
suffering from boils and pimples and
even dep seated carbuneles, have re
peatedly seen them dry up and disap-
pear in four or five days, leaving the
skin clear and smooth. Although
5tuart's Calcium Waters is a proprie-
tary article, and sold by druggists, and
tor that reason tabooed by many ply
scians yet i know Of nothing so safe
aud reliable for constipation, liver and
kidney troubles and especially In all
forms Of skin disease as this remedy"
At any rate people who are tired OF
pills c1thartics and so-ealled blood
purifiers" will find in Stuarts Calcium
Waters far safer, more palatable and
effective preparation.

Where Jones Is Prevalent

The prevalence of Jones as a Welsh

are accentuated by the habit of adding

Forty John Joneses are employed by

fusion. He can identify them with the
ease with which shepherd Identifies
his sheep.
1t is different, however, with the
female Joneses. They appear to be
less easily distinguishable, and a rule
obtains in drapery establishments that

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 15.-By
her quickness in seizing the opportun-
ity afforded by muffed punt, Yale
today won the annual football game
with Harvard by score of six to
nothing. The error, which was made
by Nichols, who had replaced Foster
as left half back, occurred near the
close of the second half and but for
it, as even Yale admitted, the contest
probably would have resulted as did
those on the same field in 1897 and 1899,
in no score for either side. Harvard's g
unexpected ability to solve and stop
Yale's success was the feature of the
contest. Except for one dash of forty
yards by Roome in the first half and
one of fifteen yards in the second half,
the Yale gains were short and nearly
all were made by plunges into the line.
The Harvard gains also resulted from
mass plays, usually with the famous
tandem formation, the only exception
being a dash of eighteen yards by
Quarterback Starr, who by running the
whole width of the field eluded Yale's
ends for that distance. Throughout
the game end runs, quarterback dashes
and double and delayed passes by eth
er team were quickly broken up, and
frequently the runner was thrown for
q loss. Each side had to struggle
time and again for the necessary five
yards. IT usually took two or three
downs to make the distance. Yale
captured the ball three times and
Harvard took the ball away from Yale
! twice by stubborn defense. Harvard
reached Yales twenty-four-yard line
in the second half only to be sent back
. five yards for off-side play. This was
: the nearest the Crimson came to scor-
ing a touchdown. In the first half,
however Burr made a beautiful at
tempt at goal from placement from
Nale's fifty-one-yard line, missing it by
"a few feet. a.,S% -lS~
Yale Scores
Yale's score came in the last ten
minutes of play. The ball had gone
up and down the field with neither
side able to make any long, consistent
gains. Hoyt sent n high punt to
Nichols on the Harvard thirty-yard
line. The Harvard back, who had just
come into the game, muffed the kick,
and Captain Shevlin, who on every kick
during the game was down the field
with marvellous speed, grabbed the ball
the instant it touched the ground. Yale
had twice before held within Harvard's s

ON TRAIL OF THE
BANK ROBBERS
POLICE SHAD0WING ONE OF
THE SAFE BREAKERS
Men Believed to Be Looters Of Jap
anesesAmerican Institution Under
SurvellIanee-Are Members
of Notorious Gang

The arrest of the robbers OF the
Nichi Bel Ginko-Japanese- American
bank at Ill East Fifth street Is ex-
pected at any moment The police
have in their possession what they
deem sufficient evidence to connect
the robbery with three notorious GRIM
inals who are members of the kid
McMunn" or Mat" Kennedy gang, and
have been operating In the east for
several years. 1t is expected that war
rants for the arrest of these three sus-
poets will be issued within twenty
four hours.
An important clue discovered yes
terday was the place where the rob
bers secured the tools with which they
broke into the big safe. John 3. JUS
tice of the Exchange Carriage works
identified the tools as his property
and stated that he could identify the
thieves who took them, as they had
been frightened away from his place
Tuesday night, the night previous to
the robbery of the bank.
The Exchange Carriage works is To-
Gated at POS East Seventh street. w.
r. Harris, the watchman, stated that
the tools were stolen from there about
II o'clock Wednesday night, the night
of the robbery of the bank. The de-
scrption furnished of the men whom
Harris claims stole the tools tallies
with that of the men suspected by the
police.
Chief of Police Auble stated yester-
day that work of the detectives on
the case had been exceptionally salts
factory, and that to the police there
was no doubt as to the identity of
the men. one OF the suspected men is
under the surveillance of the detectives
and will be arrested soon. Some delay
may be made owing to a possibility OF
locating the whereabouts of the sus-
poets accomplices.

Weddings in Prison

In the central prison of Fontevrault,
France, well educated and high born
criminal, who has yet two years of
imprisonment to serve for the illegal
sale of decorations has just been mar
ried to the girl of his heart, an actress,
who betrothed to him in his prosper
Gus days, had refused to desert him
when under a cloud. The bridegroom
was supported by his best man, the
prison barber.
A unique marriage took place at
Manchester a year or so ago between
a young Gypsy named Ashton, who was
under arrest for desertion from his reg
iment, and a pretty Gypsy girl of
eighteen. Through the kindness of the
police authorities the ceremony was
celebrated at a local church. Detec-
tive Clynes, who had arrested the
bridegroom, acted as best man. On the
party's return to the police station an
excellent wedding breakfast awaited
them, at the conclusion of which the
unwelcome escort made it's appearance
and, amid the tears of the bride, the
newly married husband was taken
away.

locale of a somewhat similar episode

was duly read. On their return to Jail
