get a rather severe faH, and at
the time there was no one else in
the house. The only person on
the premises was the colored boy

and he was out on the lawn, run
ming the mower. President Fish
er has full blooded and even
pedigreed Collie dog, whom all
the College people have learned
TO know and TO treat with special
kindness. When Mrs. Fisher
fell she must have screamed, and
the Collie, hearing her, tried TO
reach her through the screen
door Of the kitchen where she
lay. He barked and did his best
there, and finding this unsuccess-
ful, he ran 70 the colOred boy and
his barking. and then
caught him by his sleeve and tri-
ed TO pull him toward the house.
The boy saw that something was
wrong and went with the Collie,
and found the explanation in the
accident which had happened.

Advice TO Boys

Boys, get 20 work. says the
Holton Recorder. You should
not idle away your time during
the school vacation. No matter
whether the wages are large or
small, every boy ought 70 be at
work. There is nothing more
demoralizing than loafing during
vacation II is generally the
case that all the mischief is done
by the idle boys. Let the boys
get "a work. IL YOU can dad no
steady employment, help your
mothers do the hoUsework and
keep the lawns moved.

fcials IN their efforts 10 prove
that the Trust IN violating the
antitrust law is source of
amazement 10 the officials ~ the
Department Of Justice. II is well
known that the trust wilf itself,
stop at nothing in it's efforts 70
drive competitor out Of business
or TO ruin an independent pack
er who attempts 70 pay the
stock-raiser or farmer a higher
! price for his stock than has been
dictated by the trust. And yet,
when the Government attempts
to secure legal proof Of these
practices the Trust virtually ex-
claims that its methods are dis
gracefully unfair, that at least
the women stenographers and
the wives of officials ought not to
be summoned" in a prosecution
which involves the vital interests
of every man, woman, and child
old enough to eat meat in the
country. The Officials of the
Department Of Justice are conf
dent, however, that the politi-
clans who appeal to the Presi-
dent in behalf Of the Trust viii
receive cold comfort.
A defalcation has occurred in
one Of the federal institutions in.
Washington which has not only
created a sensation in itself but
which may lead to revelations of
even more sensational, if less
fragrant, character, Wm. W.
Karr, accountant of the Smith
sonion Institution, has been ar
rested on the charge of embez-
elment and has confessed to a
shortage in his accounts Of up
wards of $4,000, being unable TO
state the exact amount. Most of
this sum was deducted from the re-
ceipts o. the Institution from what
is known as the Foreign Exchanges
to which various institutions OF
learning pay large sums for the dis
iuhution OF their scientific publi-
cations abroad Il appears that the
Treasury refuses to accept the
checks of private concerns and in
diyiduaIs and il tell TO Ksrr to cash
such checks when accepted in pay
men, aud then deposit the cash in
the Treasury. For a period not
yet known karr has been apprOpri-
aing 10 his own use a greater or
less proportion Of these receipts and
only by the merest accident was bis
detalcatiou discovered. Il is claim
ed that in the course OF karr's trial
certain revelations regarding the
methods OF the Institution will come
to light which will prove shock to
those who have been taught TO re-
we're the Smi,hsonion Institution and
LIS Director.

Washington Letter.


fort in behalf Of peace in the far
East have met with success.
From unofficial but apparently
authentic adyices received from
| st. Petersburg 1t is learned that
the Car has virtually sued for
peace. That is, he has instruct
ed his ambassadors at Paris and
! Washington TO take the necessa-
ry steps to learn on what terms
Japan will make peace. This,
in the estimation of practically
all the diplomats in Washington,
means that Russia will fight no
longer although it is apprecited
that it may take some time to
reach a final agreement. It is
generally believed that the frank
though friendly representations
of the President, whose reputa-
tion is by no means that of a
peace at any price statesman,
have had much TO do with Undue
ing the Russian Emperor to take
this step and the representatives
of other European powers in
Washington express a lively ap-
/ ipreciation of the good officers al
ready exerted by the Chief Exc
cutive of the new world power"
in the concert of nations.
It is entirely characteristic of
the President that, much as he
desired to bring about this peace
his wishes in that direction did
not deter him from rendering q
decision on the international law
governing the conduct of neu-
trails which must have proved un-
welcome to Russia, as unwel-
come there as it was grateful 30
the rest of the world. This de
cision was TO the effect that the
three Russian cruisers which
sought refuge in the harbor of
Manila must not remain there
long enough TO repair the DANA.
ges incurred in battle. The
President held that while the
vessel of belligerent might
make, in a neutral port, repairs
necessitated by stress of wealth.
er or by accident, those incurred
in battle must be excepted.

DISEASE NEEDS WATCHING.
Whooping Cough Not Simple Little

Eliza H. Root calls attention. says the
Womans Medical Journal, to the fact
that this disease is too little dreaded by
the medical profession and that it is by
no means the simple affair that many
seem to suppose.
From the United States census Of 1900
we find that 663 died in New York from
whooping cough and $40 from scarlet
fever In Chicago 141 died from whoop-
ing cough and 1873 from scarlet fever;
Philadelphia. 179 from whooping cough,
1872 from scarlet fever. and so on in the
different cities Death from whooping
cough occurs most frequently from
pneum onia as complication that in
duces heart failure. or bronchitis may
occur that ends in suffocation. Asphyxia

cause death.
