The Pipe Of Peace.

Lorens Swenson has Just added
another to the large list of inven-
tions which he has patented during
the last So years. This time tits a
pipe. He has contrived scheme for
sort of double bsrreled stem so the
smoke passes through two chambers
before reaching the mouth. The
smoke thus undergoes a cooling pro.
cess which makes it much more agree
able to the smoker. But the best fea :
ture is yet to be mentioned. The
smoke after passing through the
two chambers is freed from nicotine.
Mr. Swenson says that the. presence of
the nicotine in the system is what
causes the craving for more tobacco
and that by using this pipe for "a
while the craving disappears, so that
under the guise of making smoking
more enjoyable it really cures a per-
son of the habit. At any rate the pipe
is an ingenious continuance and it's
inventor should realize handsomely on
it if he can get pipe manufacturers
interested in it.-Cresco Times.

count of loss of health will leave for

Bishop Morrison has suffered a com
plete collapse of his nervous system
and physicians have advised absolute
rest for year and the bishop is TAX
ing this way of getting it. THE
diocese of Iowa will contribute to the
fund. The deanery meeting was at
tended By fifteen of the clergy repre-.

an appropriation for that purpose
Estimates recently submitted to the
Secretary of the Treasury for the
postal service for the coming fiscal
year. included an increase of 81 ,475, 900
for the rural delivery service but
somehow the amount for an increase
III the salaries of carriers was over
looked. There are now in the rural
delivery service 36, 437 carriers and
of these more than 81, 900 are serving
routes from twenty-five to thirty
miles long. The time required to
complete trips, the cost of horse hire
and the varying cost of horse food
makes plain to the Department that
the men are entitled to more money.
A new order affecting rural carriers
and residents near by rural routes has
just gone into effect. 1t provides that
hereafter the delivery of mail by rural
carriers will be permitted to persons
residing not less than one-quarter OF
a nile from postoffices at unincor-
porated towns or villages, provided
such persons will erect boxes con-
forming to the requirements OF the de-
partment on rural routes officially laid
out. This will apply at both dis
tributing and intermediate offices.
Visitors in Washington these days
are eager to obtain glimpse of Miss
Ethel Roosevelt, the youngest daugh.
ter of the President, as she drives heI
new horse Montauk, hitched to smart
blackboard of natural wood. from the
White House to the Cathedral School
for girls, located far out in the coun.
try. Dressed in close fitting tan
jacket and wearing trim little black
hat, this coming ''belle of the White
House." seated high in her cart and
with feet braced against the dash,
has complete mastery over her
spirited animal. Montauk is Vir'
ginia- bred horse, deep brown in color,
a nigh stopper, 1ull OF action ana mas
an intelligent eye. Whether it is the
unhealthy location of the White
House stables or the fact that there
arestoo many horses belonging to sthe
President stabbed under one roof,
the stopper owned by Miss Ethel and
the pony belonging to her brother
Quentin, are stabbed in rented
building on Seventeenth street not
far from the White House. Since the
purchase of Montauk, every member
of the Presidents family now pos.
sesses either a driving or a riding
horse, but never yet has the entire
family been seen at one time together
on the public streets or roads.

 When the police went to Garlands 5 rooms to search them. they fonnd sev- eral unfinished stories which evidently he was preparing for a magazine A college diploma also was found in the room

BAGS A NEICHBoR
Holeott Ayr, Looking For Thieves. Shot Down By Trap Gus.

Hartford. Jan. 26-Wolcott Aver of North Coventry is at the Hartford hospital with charge of buckshot in his legs as result of a mixup with an old fashioned muzzle loading gun. which had been set up by neighbor outside of. his coop to catch chicken thief. Aver asserts his innocence of any intent to molest his neighbours chickens and says that he became the victim of the discharge of shot through an unfortunate circumstance.
 The gun had been set up by Edwin Case outside the henhouse on his place in North Coventry. Mir Case had been missing chickens for some time and fixed the gun so that who- ever opened the door would receive the discharge in his leg. Late We'd nesday night he heard the gun go of. He went out to the henhouse and he found Wolcott Aver, a neighbor who lives about mile down the road from him, prostrate on the ground and shot in the legs. Mir Aver was hurried to Hartford and taken to the hospital. His wounds are not serious and yes tSiudy ditcihoVh, dltci dii tnc suUI were picked out. he was resting com fortably.
 He explains the accident by saying that he has been missing chickens from his place and says he was awak- ened Wednesday night by two men talking about chickens and that he followed them and they disappeared behind Mr Case's barn. He says he went into the chicken house to find the men and was shot by the trap gun.
