A common nail is an excellent illustra-
ton of the difference between old and new
methods. Formerly the metal was cut into
strips and then forged into shape with
hammers and an expert took about one and
one-hah minutes for each nail. Today they
are made OF steel and are lighter and
stronger. Strips are cut with steam shears
and fed into automatic nail machines.
One man tends three machines, each ma
chine dropping a nail every second.

BEFORE The PEOPLES BAR
Oolored Man Will Not Let Black Cal
Gross His Path.
HIS CoMPUNcTIONS CAUSE TROUBLE
Running from Feline He Creates
False Impression In COlOred
WOman's Mind and Ex-
plains In Court.

Jerry Elliott, coored, related before the
peoples bar Saturday morning the various
things he would stand for before he would
allow a black cat to cross his path at
night. He said he could overlook such
trifies as a gasoline stove explosion. a
broken mirror, opening of an umbrella in
doors, falling while going upstairs, or the
flight of a bird through the window of
his study, but when it came to black cat
trying to give him the double cross at
night time, he said he believed II time TO
take notice and kill the feline II necessary.
Elliott lives at 1915 Capitol avenue and
manages a lunch stand in the east end.
Shortly after midnight Friday Elliott was
walking home viewing the starry nrma-
ment and fonding the days receipts in
his pocket. While thus deeply absorbed
with the things OF earth and sky Elliotts
attention was engaged by large black cat,
which jumped from an alley and tried TO
cross the colored mans path.
The sight OF the animal was Immediately
a token for action on Eliotts part. Elliott
set all his sails, threw on his coat and
Ftarted up one side of the street, with the
cat doing the rapid sprint on the other
side. Every time Elliott would stop to
rest the cat would stop. Finally the tired
lunch man became real cross and picked
up large stones, WnlCn ne hurried at the cat
A belated colored woman passing at the
time mistook Elliott's intentions and wildly
called for help. The woman directed her
/ flight toward the police station, with the
cat in close pursuit. Elliott continued
throwing solid matter at the cat Detec-
| tives Ferris and Dunn, attracted by the
woman's ordinations OF disturbed thought,
/ plunged themselves into the troubled night
air and caught Elliott The woman kept
| running. Her body was not found. The
cat did not succeed In passing Elliott.
When arraigned before the peoples bar
Saturday morning Elliott told the police
| Judge he was more afraid OF a black cat
than a corpse
"Jedge, Abs moughty skeared Oh a
corpse, but de black cat hsb dem all
! skinned forty ways All thought All was
| goin to hab de ague when dat cat 'peared
/ fob me last night. but when An looked
mahself ober All found dat An only had a
| nervous chill. Look out for de black cats,
I jedge; dey means hahn, dat's what dcy
does" said Elliott when asked II he had
anything to say why sentence OF the court
should not be pronounced upon him accord
/ ing 10 the city ordinances.
Elliott convinced the court he was a hard
working man, whose chief weakness was a
/ fear OF black cats.
Elliott was discharged.

THOSE gourmands who are accus


toned to feed on all kinds of delica-
lessen foods imported from abroad,
such as frankfurter and cervelat sau
sages, Westphalian ham and other
good things, may pause in their meth
ods and put restraint on their appe-
tltes for these foreign delicacies when
they learn that Germany recently
passed law, which has been approx
ed and signed by the Emperor, pro-
viding for meat inspection, and which
specially provides for the slaughter of
dogs for human food, providing only
that their entrails must not be offered
for consumption. Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson has issued orders that
a most strict scrutiny shall now be
given to all imported foods and food
products, with a view to exclude all
which contain substances that are OBJ
jectionable or harmful to health. AT
the same time, it is admitted that it
will be very difficult to detect dog
meat in sausages or the dog liver in
pate de fol gras from genuine goose
livers. These facts may serve to curb
some appetites that can be satiated
only by imported delicacies.

TELLS HIS
OWN TALE.

We never heard it before but guess
it is all true that Congressman Samu-
els and the President run the United
States Government for the several
last years, for Samuels said so at the
Republican county convention last
Saturday. If he is only reelected
the farmers will all have good crops
and receive high prices for them and
the wage-earners will receive the very
highest salaries for little work. Mr..
Samuels' address had better never
been said, or rather it should have
been prepared by the person who
wrote the nomination speeches that
were read by the delegates. They
were all right.
Mr.. Samuels attacked the Demo-
cratic party on free trade and a few
other minor issues, getting himself
into an awful mess, overlooking OF
forgetting the fact that it was by the
aid of the Democrats that he was
elected But then, if he is re. elected
he will see that congress is run right
and the President kept straight.
Samuels must have been Il big fish
at Washington, but it's remarkable
how successfully he evaded the news
paper fends, who are constantly
searching every nook and corner for
such startling and wonderful charac-
ters, and how he succeeded in keeping
his greatness withheld until this par
ticularly special time that he might
tell the tale. But then a sage once
said, "He who tooteth not his own
horn the horn of the same shall not
be footed"
