A PROFESSOR OF FLEAs.
Odd Profession in France - Troubles
of One of the Impresarics.

OQQ FECTESSIOIt III @iSS
of One of the Impresarios.
Among the curious professions
which one meets with in this country
from time to time is that of professor
of feas. What the professor trains
his alert pupils to do cannot imagine,
writes the Paris correspondent of the
London Globe, but every now and then
at the shows which camp on the out
skirts of Paris the flea professor has
his booth.
One of these strange impresar1os
named Jocolino lately took up his resi-
dence in lodging house in the Rue
st. Charles. Unfortunately Jocolino's
pupils multiplied with far more rapid
ity than he could train them to be well
behaved, with the result that their
active disposition led them to explore
the adjoining rooms Of the lodging
house, where they performed on their
own account.
Their visits were not to the liking
of the neighbors, and Jocolino was
obliged to listen to some very forc1ble
remonstrances on the subject. me
nuisance, however, did not abate, and
finally one of the tenants, plumber
named Sauvin, decided to take the
matter into his own hands. Armed
with large quantity of insect powder,
the irate plumber entered Jocolinos
room in the absence of the professor
and sprinkled the exterminator in all
directions.
While he was so engaged, however,
the flea trainer returned, and mistaK
ing the plumber for burglar seized
a revolver and shot him in the head.
Sauvin is now lying in hospital and
the trainer Of the lively flea is in the
hands of the police.

HAS TWO WIVES IN SAME HOUSE.

Charles r. Sager, twenty-five years
old, a porter, is married to two wives,
both of whom live in one house at
Madison. How he can support two
wives on the emoluments incident to
his trade he does not explain to the
court
This evidence developed at a trial.
The negro was charged with having
stabbed Ernest Woolever, bartender
Sager married his first wife five years
ago, but last winter they talked mat
ters over and agreed to separate
Sager then became infatuated with
Margaret Mulholland of Madison, and
they were married a week later
The first wife had been working as
a domestic during the summer, but a
month ago she was unemployed and
penniless. Sager in pity took her to
his home and put her to work as a
domestic. The two wives have got
along happily with Sager, and his first
wife has made no complaint because
she was not legally divorced
The case pending against Sager will
be dismissed and he will be rearrested
on a bigamy charge.

A Man of 70 After Finding Coffee Hurt
Him, Stopped Short.

When man has lived to be 70 years
old with a 40-year-old habit grown to
him like knot on a tree, chances are
he'll stick to the habit till he dies.
But occasionally the spirit Of youth
and determination remains in some
men to the last day Of their lives.
When such men do find any habit Of

surprise the Oslerites by a degree Of

Life Saving Device Of an Autoist
Stranded in Jersey.


Stranded in Jersey.

other things than air. Down on the
Jersey coast the other day l saw
man filling a tire with sand.
"This tire had apparently-for tho

they were about-became broken in
such a manner that it could not be re-
paired to stand imitation on the spot,
but they wanted something in it and
so they filed it with sand. At the
place where they were when the tire
collapsed the road ran close to the
ocean front, and they took the tire off
the wheel and one Of the men climbed
with it down the bulkhead Of the beach
and there he set to work.
when he had worked in a lot OF
sand he would hold the tire UP and
shake the sand down in it and then he
would put in some more, and so on
till he had the tire filled.
"This was something new to me,
but a friend tells me he has seen it
done before and that sand in the tire
is better than nothing, that it will
cushion the tire in some measure at
least and keep the machine from
pounding down on that wheel with its

LAND DRAINAGE WORTH A
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
Bencfts and Costs Investigated by University OF Wisconsin
College OF Agriculture Marsh Land Reclaimed
for Pasture and Crops.

first drained by open bitches in order
to convert them into meadows, for the
price of surrounding land does not at
present warrant the expense of tile
drainage. Then, also, neat soil is not
ready for tile Immediately upon the
completion of the open ditch; it is
much better to allow the soil to go
through the settling process before
the laying of the tile is attempted.
Cost of Work.
The valuation of the land after it
has been surface drained will deter
mine whether it will pay to ditch. In
the Little Yellow district Of $4,000
acres, the price of land has advanced
$40 an acre while the cost of drainage
was about So an acre. In the Reming
ton district, at cost Of 81 an acre,
the land value has increased from SIS
to $40 an acre. The cost per acre in
the Beaver district ranged from $1.50
to $6 per acre, according TO distance
from the ditch. Two sections of land
drained by ditch through peat un-
derlaid by sand, were laid four years
ago for S. an acre, and could not now
be bought for $25 an acre.
The cost of digging open bitches is
between and 10 cents a cubic yard.
The work is facilitated greatly by the
use of steam or gasoline dredges, but
the work and cost of building and
tearing down dredge is SO great that
contractor can not afford to take
piece of work amounting to less than
$4,000. The cost of digging small
bitches by hand, two feet wide at the
bottom, three feet deep, and eight
feet wide on top, is between so and 60
cents per rod.
A summary OF the benefits OF drain
age reveals the fact that such i'm
provement allows the cultivation Of
land otherwise not available for farm
ing: permits Of earlier working of the
soil in spring; allows the ground to
warm up more rapidly in the spring
months, thus increasing the length OF
the season and leSsening the danger
of frosts. 1t produces a good ventila-
ton and filth in the soil; increases the
amount of water available to the
crops; aids notification and retards
identification. 1t lessons considerable
the surface washing of the soil, and,
finally, it allows fields to be made uni
form in outline, under which condition
they worked to better advantage.

CAPTAINS STORY
How He Got Out and Stays Out of
Trouble.

Captain Abran Jones Of ia E. seth
street, Los Angeles, Cal. tells an inter-
esting coffee story, and says he can be
publicly quoted:
Il drank coffee all my life" he says.
and took no harm, I thought. till
about ten years ago when a variety OF
ailments attacked ne one afteg the
other.
First came 2 disordered stomach.
Followed by palpitation Of the heart
which was very severe, some attacks
lasting four or five hours at a time.
Then my bowels got out Of order, and I
suffered from chronic constipation. This
ran on for some years.
Finally I quit the drugs and strug-
gied along the best way I could, taking
the advice o.. friends but never getting
any better. At last was taken so Sc
riously sick that had TO go TO bed and
the doctor told nv family I could not
recover.
While I lay III this condition a friend
suggested that ! Quit drinking the old
kind of coffee and Try Postum Food
Conee-to sec what il would do for me.
He said Postum had pulled him through
when he was similarly afflicted
I took his advice, quit coffee and
drank Postum, and IN two months time
was in good health ! was so elated
at the result that 7 told my doctor
about IL. He wasn't very we'll posted
on facts at that time, and said that he
did not believe that leaving of coffee
and using Postum had anything to do
with my improved health, but that il
was due 10 good medicine and good adj
vice from the family doctor: that nv
sickness had worked out of my system
the diseased conditions that had been
developing for several years, that
could nov look forward TO GOOD heal.
for some time to come. and that I ha
better resume coffee drinking. in mod
Grafton, and thus save my family the
trouble Of preparing ar extra table bev-
erage every day.
II took the doctors advice. stoned
the Postum and began drinking coffee
again The result was that oil nv old
troubles came trooping back. and was
soon once more seriously Ill Then
became alarmed. and swore OF coffee
for good and all. and resumed the use
of Postum. and got well again.
My health is now as good as ft ever
was. My dyspe psia is gone. I never
have heart palpitation any more. my
bowels are IN good working order, and
all the little ills that 20 with the big
ones have disappeared.

Trial of Berthe CLAICHE, a, Young
French Girl, for Staying Emil

CLAICHE, a 22-yeaT-old French girl. on the
charge of shooting and killing Emil Gerd-
fon' on the night OF July 8 last. was
scheduled TO begin today in the court Of
General Sessions. The case Is an un-
usually pathetic one. and an element Of
mystery is attached TO it.
Berthe CLAICHE claims that Gerdron. who
was young giant standing over six feet
tail and weighing nearly go pounds, had
made her his slave for six years, during
Wnlch. time she said he beat her and
forced her upon the streets TO earn a liv
ing Tor him. SO impressive was her story
that the money for her defense has been
largely supplied by contributions from
girl admitted that she killed Gerdron,
the circumstances surrounding the shoot
ing were SO unusual that they have given
rise 10 charges that members of the
police had secretly urged the girl on
Killed While Under Arrest.
Gerdron was shot while under arrest
and walking along the street in the Gus
tody OF three Officers. It is now claimed
that $500, which Gerdron is said TO have
mad on his person at the time, was miss
ing when the contents of his pockets
were turned over 10 police headquarters.
Berthe CLAICHE said that GerdroR brought
her here from France when she was Is
years OF age and forcibly made her
woman of the streets. On the night Of
July she ran from her room and COM
planned to three officers whom she met
that Gerdron had beaten her and that
she wanted him arrested. While she was
making the request Gerdron himself came
up and was placed in custody.
It is alleged that he then turned upon
the, girl. exclaiming: I'll kill you. You
will have me arrested, will you? Well
you are as good as dead now
A moment afterwards. when his back
was turned, Berthe CLAICHE shot him
1Trln che n
TO the officers she cried. Il am glad I
killed him, and 1 would do it twenty
times over. He made me his slave but
he will never raise his hand against an
other woman"
