IN OLDEN TIMES
People Were Content to Take Things
Easier Than Now

II our forefathers could behold the
modern locomotives, automobiles and
electric cars, they would hold up their
hands in astonishment.
The stage-coach was fast enough
then-people were more content to
take things easy.
They used to be satisfied with any
sort of a hair lotion that came along
If 1t did not prevent Badness they
thought IL was because Badness could
not be prevented.
It's different now. People know that
germs cause Badness and that New .
bros Herpicide kills the germ, thus
curing Dandruff and preventing Bald
ness.

Special to The Herald.


NEW YORK, Nov. IA middle-age7
poorly dressed man who was sitting
with his back against a fence in Rod
hey street, near Metropolitan avenue,
Williamsburg, was made a target yes
terday morning by a crowd of boys,
who amused themselves throwing
paper balls and pebbles. The boys
were ignorant OF the fact that the man
was dying of starvation and exposure.
They jeered and leaped over his feet.
A policeman came along and the
boys fled. The policeman thought the
man was asleep and tapped the soles
of his feet. There was no response,
so the man was taken to the Bedford
Avenue police station in a patrol
wagon. He was dead when a physician
got there. He was Identified as Fred
erick Hummel, AZ years old, who had
no home. He had been a cigarmaker,
well to do, but lost everything in specu-

BEATS WIFE FOR A BUTTON
Brutal Husband Says He Was Pre-
vented From Going to
Church
Special to The Herald.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Nov. 7.-Because
he brutally attacked his wife upon her
refusal to sew buttons on his trousers,
William Jackson has been fined $lOC
and sentenced to one months i'm
prisonment. Jackson did not deny at
tacking his wife, but pleaded in de-
fense that he had but one pair of
trousers and it was necessary for the
wife to sew on the buttons while he
lay abed.
He elected to have her sew them on
Sunday morning and she declined. He
thereupon attacked her Viciously. He
told the judge he was particularly
vexed because his wife's course pre-
vented him from attending church.

SWAPS THE STOLEN HATS
Novel Interchange Of Headgear Made
by Burglar Near
Philadelphia
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
OAK LANE. Pa. Nov. 5.-Oak Lane
residents, as well as the Germantown
police, are now fully satisfied from an
odd coincidence that the burglar who
has been working in Oak Lane is the
same who operated in Germantown
and Chestnut Hill The burglar him
self has supplied the link to connect
the cases.
In every case the thief has gone
away with hat from the house en-
tered and has left behind the headgear
he wore when he entered. Thus 1t Is
that hats stolen from Germantown
houses have found their way into Oak
Lane homes, and hats bought by Oak
Lane men have been found in Chest
nut Hill homes.

 against the powers that were before northern journalism attained to its pres- ent high estate. More than one editor of the radical school found the prison cell his sole reward for championing the cause of liberty during the period of reconstruction" But as in Scandinavia legislative halls were compelled to open to farmer. burgher and aristocrat on equal terms censorial restriction became a dead letter, until to-day the press of no nation in the world is freer from per- nicious interference than that of Dem mark and Sweden-Norway. AS pro- motors of education among the masses, the Scandinavian newspapers can teach their European contemporaries more than one lesson. That the Danes arc great readers. the publication of more than 20 daily papers in Copenhagen alone bears testimony. The monthly magazines. the illustrated weeklies and the many technical journals are evil dence that this reading is not confined to the newspapers.
 Foremost among the progressive newspapers of Copenhagen, which means, of course. of Denmark, is the Politiken (Politics). That it is the organ of the liberals may be assumed from it's aggressive title. Established by the late Viggo Lauritz Hoerup. in his day the most brilliant among . con- spicuous group of journalists. the Politi- ken was born. so to speak. during the most strenuous political period the country ever witnessed. It was Hoerup's virile pen that fought relentlessly against the fogyism of the ultra-con- servatives. and. instrumental in bring ing about the great political reform of 1901. this champion of equal rights be- came q member of the Deuntzer cabinet. The present editor of the Politiken is Edward Brandes. . brother of the fa- nous critic Georg. Brandes. and him. self an author and dramatist of fame. The managing editor is Henrik Cavline. who has been a frequent visitor to the United States.

MAY REJECT TREATY
Domingo Agreement Reported
 Favorably In Committee.
CARRIED BY l STRICT PARTY VOTE
Vote In Senate on Convention With Island Republic Will Be Close, and Many Predict . Deacif
 For the Measure.

WASHINGTON, March 10. = The committee on foreign relations has re- ported the Dominican protocol to the senate with amendments. The vote on the motion to report was on strictly party lines, every Republican voting for tthe treaty and every Democrat against 1t.
 All the members of the committee were present, and the vote stood as follows: For the treaty, Senators Gull lom, Frye, Lodge, Clark (Wyo.), Fora ker, Spooner and Kean; against the treaty, Senators Morgan, Bacon, Mon- ey, Clark (Mont) and AlcCreary.
 Although the vote was on party lines, that is not held to indicate that there will be party division in the senate when motion to ratify is made. As already announced, Senators Clarke (Ark) and Newlands (Nev.) will doubt less vote for confirmation, and there is every likelihood that the senators from Louisiana will do so. The managers on the part of the majority say the action VI uC 1OIcl6u ICldlAOuo ID not final, but insist that further amend ments may be made in the senate, and are of the opinion that eventually the protocol will be so revised as to com mand the support of considerable number of Democrats. Among the Democrats it is admitted that they would be unwilling to assume responsi- bility for defeating the entire arrange ment by party vote, and now that the Monroe doctrine has been eliminat- ed from the agreement it is not nearly so objectionable to them as before.
 As the senate now stands, there arc ffty-six Republicans and thirty-one Democrats, with vacancies in Della. ware, Missouri and Tennessee.
 It is said there is a strong probability that the senate will refuse to ratify the treaty even in tie greatly changed form in which it was reported. So close is the contest that one or two votes one way or the other may affect the result.

Guess you was dreamin'," he said, and, while I stood firm for the reality of that had seen, 1t held our thought only for a brief moment. My com panion was unable to walk that day, 70 we lay by in the shelter of the old house, eating as little of our scanty store as. we could do with. I went to spring near by for water and picked a good mess of blackberrles, that I hid away until supper time 50 as to surprise Uncle ED. A longer day than that we spent in the old house after our coming I have never known. made the room bit tidier and gather ed more grass for bedding. Uncle ED felt better as the day grew warm. I had busy time of it that morning bathing his back in the spirits and rubbing until my small arms ached. T have heard him tell often how vigor- ously I worked that day and how I would say, ''I'll take care O you, Uncle Eb-won't I, Uncle Eb?' as my little hands hew with redoubled energy on his bare skin. That finished, we lay down sleeping until the sun was low, when I made ready the supper that took the last of everything we had to eat. Uncle Eb was more like himself that evening and, sitting up in the cor ner as the darkness came told me stories.
 It was very dark as he finished, and I was feeling bit sleepy when I heard the boards creak above our heads. Uncle Eb raised himself and lay braced upon his elbow listening. In a few moments we heard a sound as of some one coming softly down the ladder at the other end of the room. It was so dark could see nothing.
 "Who's there?'' Uncle ED demanded.
 Don't pint thet gun at me-" some body whispered. "This is my home, and I warn ye t leave it CT I'll do ye harm"

Missing Ledger is Found by a Clerk.

Union, December 15.-One of
the important books which myste-
riously disappeared from the Union
Cotton mills shortly after its reor-
ganization, and for which a reward
of $4,000 was offered with evi-
dence to convict. the: person taking
them, has just been found. The
discovery was made by the book
keeper and clerk, the book being
found behind counter in the furni-
ture department of the mill store,
evidently having: been put there re-
Gently by some person. There was
no dust on it. The book, which is
the 10000 ledger, has thirty or
more pages missing apparently cut
out with a knife which would indi-
cate crooked transactions having
been made by some one, and much
further back than ever suspected.
The other books, a current ledger
and journal, taken from the mill
vault and which are badly wanted,
are still missing.
