"Her Double Life. This has been

rare treat in store. There are really
SO few good things nowadays in the
theatrical way that when something

without doubt the leading actress Of the
entire territory she covers, which is

season of "Ghosts'' was very artistic

care to hear even though they were

count in the end. A new candidate
could enter the lists now with the
backing of a good cilcIe of friends
and stand as good a chance as any
to win.
The votes for this week are as fol-
lows:

Miss Maud Kinsel. of Westhope,
with 10, 500 votes to her credit in the
first week work has been obliged to
withdraw on account of the pressure
of hel duties in the post-o office. She
writes that she cannot get out to work
and therefore will drop out. We are
sorry this is the case as she had
strong vote and would have received
the solid support of her town. We
hope Westhope will put forth another
candidate.
Miss Lulu Crowder, living nearMeti-
goshe, has entered the contest and
starts off with a nice vote She has
good field in which to do some work
and ought to make strong race.
Miss Marie Wenos, of this city, still
holds first place but her gain OF this
week is smaller than.;n former ones,
Miss Della Carpenter has made
strong gains this week and is working
hard. Miss Emma Douglas has made
a good gain this week and it is appar-
ent she is in the race in earnest. A
prominent Russell resident said the
other day, "you may as we'll box that
piano up and send it to Russell It is
coming there anyway Miss Mollie
Stanton, of Souris, has not reported
this week but we still hope to see the
people of Souris come to her rescue.
Miss Mildred Douglas, OF Omemee,
has not increased her vote and we are
told may drop out owing to the fact
that she is going to school and has no
time to canvass. It is also said
Omemee has another candidate who
will shortly enter the lists. Miss AL
ice R. Kolstad, of Lansford, has report
ed thousand votes and intimates
there are more coming. We hope to
see her enter the contest in earnest.
A Lansford girl won the piano Civ

shows the spirit of that town when
it is once awakened. No report has
yet been received from Miss Myrtle

velopments in this big contest and
we are looking for them.

last Sunday on the Welch farm in the
Turtle mountains. State Veterinar-
ian Sims visited the place where the
horses were on Wednesday but at that
time they were so badly decayed that
he could not tell how they had been
destroyed. Mr.. Bacon found the
horses in the brush near the road ly-
ing close together and he said it
looked as though their throats had
been cut. They were heavy team Of
good young horses and it is still a
mystery how they got there.

Prof Kraepeliu Of Heidelberg, has
been engaged for long time on an
investigation into the various effects
Of alcohol on users in normal HEALTHY
condition. He has found that the uae
Of a half ounce Of spirits, equivalent
to an ordinary glass OF whisky, affects
all of the vital functions of the user
both physical and mental Having
first found what an individual covld do
IN normal condition. he observed the
same person thirty minutes after TAX
ing the spirits, and found that If the
healthy vision will enable the subject
to read letters thirty feet away after
using the ounce of spirits he cannot
read them more than from eighteen to
twenty-five feet away. A correspond
ing result was observed in the ability
to discriminate colors; also 1t was
noticed that forms and shapes were
blurred and indistinct. This palsy Of
the vision is. Of course, much more
marked in the case Of a drunken man.
Similar results were perceived in the
action Of all the senses. Rams Horn.

MANNERS ON STREET CARS.
Conductor Has Experiences with All
Kinds Of Men.

A Broadway car, bound uptown.
stopped near Wall street and the con-
ductor called policeman. Just then
car on the way to the Battery came
along with several men on the rear
platform. AS they passed the other
car they noticed that the policeman
was inviting a woman passenger to
get off, presumably because she had
not paid her fare. The tall and bright
faced conductor Of the Battery-bound
car also noticed the incident, and 1t
stirred a reminiscence of his own ex-
perience. He had soft voice, with
just trace Of pleasing brogue, and
he said:
II would never put woman on my
car. l would rather pay her face my
self than have the trouble. Now. it
would have been much better for that
conductor If he had been pleasant to
that woman and let her ride. She'll
make complaint against him, maybe,
and then he will have to explain to
the company.
"The other day man got on my
car at Twenty-third street and offered
me a transfer told him that we
did not take transfers at that point,
and he told me would have to. did
not. but rang up his fare and said
to him: You're dressed like a gentle
man and you look like a gentleman,
and God forbid that | should say that
you're not. | am a poor man, but l
win pay your fare rather than have
any trouble

next to rie and saw me ring up the

who was looking on, did not say any
thing. but he got off at the next cross.

The Automobile Useful.

Automobiles have been put TO many
uses, but it remained for clever Ger
mantown electrician to put a machine
to use as novel as it was ingenious,
though simple at that. The arc light
at the northwest corner of German
town and Chelten avenues suddenly
went out on Thursday night. Kicking
the pole and dozen other familiar
methods failed to Jar the carbons into
proper position.
Th IN the lamp was lowered, but all
were afraid to touch it, as no one had
rubber gloves or other insulation. The
chances Of an accident were increased
by the wet pavement and dripping
lamp. Just then as the darkness and
delay became most vexatious at that
much frequented corner, an au.omo-
bile drove up and its owner got out
and went into the postoffice. A happy
thought struck the electrician, and he
had a minutes hurried conversation
with the owner. The electrician
raised the lamp, while the automobile
ist drove the machine under it. Then
the electrician stood on the automobile
safe with the protection of insulation
from the four rubber tires, and easily
adjusted the carboIs, and there was
light again.-Philadelphia Record.

Certainly the provocation was great

Four years later townsman saw
him in a distant city, with the same
organ and the same pathetic legend
on it.
