Kick That stopped q Suicide.

John Devenny, who has lost money
In mining stock, has a heap Of horse
sense now, but it had to be kicked into
him. says a Pittsburg dispatch to the
New York Tribune. When he tried to
commit suicide, Bill, his old horse,
which he raised from a colt, went to
the rescue, and Devenny owes his life
to old Bill. Devenny lives near Du-
quesne. The other day, anxious to rid
himself of his mining stock and other
troubles, he went to the barn to COM
NIT suicide. He tied one end of hal
ter rope about his neck and the other
around an overhead beam. Everything
fixed, he stepped off bushel measure
and swung out for eternity. But he
didn't quite reach it. When he swung
back he bumped the old horse. 1t
startled Bill, and he registered an eff,
fective kick. In fact, he kicked so
hard he put Devenny clear through the
side Of the barn, at the same time
breaking the moose. Devenny's family
saw him coming and went to his as
sistance, but they give the old horse
credit for saving his life.

Memorial Day.

Though years have passed. the brave who
fell
Are treasured in the breast;
Their kindred love our hearts can tell
That throb for those that rest.
These gallant sons, they shall outlivs
The shining orbs above,
And we these fiowery tokens give.
The token Of our love.
And. though these fade, our dear onse
true,
Recorded In the sky,
Will wreathe with love forever new
Sealed with a tear and sigh.
Within our hearts we treasure them.
Our dear ones. true and brave
While fairer than g diadem
A tear adorns their grave.
Then let the starry flag illume
And deck the sacred sod
For these, our loyal sons. who bloom
Within the fold Of God.
Our country's safe. her people free;
Well cherish truth and right
Where every state from sea to sea
Is bathed In freedoms light.

CANNON IN $50.



and Left Money In Pocket.
Speaker Cannon is $50 richer by rea-
son Of the forgetfulness Of his son-in-
law. E. X. lie Seure. who, as the joke
Is on him, hasn't the courage to ask
Uncle Joe for a return of the money,
says a Washington dispatch to the New
York Sun. Mr.. LIE Seure, like his dis
tinguished father-in-law, is a banker
in Danville and makes his home at the
Cannon residence One day while the
speaker was away, either by accident
or design, he wore to his office a pair
of Uncle Joe's trousers. That night at
his club a friend paid him $50 in three
twenty dollar notes, which he careless
" placed in one Of the hip pockets Of
his father-in-law's belonging and then
forgot all about the money. Upon Uncle
Joe's return a few days later he don
ned the garment which Mr.. LIE Seure
had been wearing and, reaching around
into the pistol pocket, discovered the
three twenty dollar bills. He at once
suspected what had happened and at
the breakfast table accused his sOn-in-
law Of wearing his trousers during his
absence.
"Why, you are very much mistaken.
Mr.. Cannon" exclaimed Mr.. LIE Seure.
Il don't have to wear your clothes;
have several suits of my own"
"Quite true" returned the speaker,
"but know you have been saving
yours and wearing mine while have
been away. You ought to at least ask
the privilege"
You are certainly very much mis-
taken, and I don't see why you should
accuse me of such a thing" said the
son-in-law, beginning to be sensitive
over the matter.
"Oh, it's all right, Ernest" replied
the speaker. II simply found $50 in
the hip pocket Of these trousers, and
l know l didn't put it there. But as
you say you haven't worn them 1 sup
pose of course you didn't put it there,
so I'll just keep it anyway" And he
did.
Mr.. LIE Seure was in Washington re-
Gently and reluctantly admitted the
truth Of the story. which Uncle Joe had
been telling with great glee.
IF 1 ever wear the speakers trou-
sers again I'll be mighty careful to re-
move all the loose change" he told his
friends.

~F1rst Alarm Firemen.

The fire brigade of Altoona, near
Hamburg. Germany, which is one Of
the finest in the world, has recently
introduced an improvement which GER
tainly deserves the study of brigades
in the great cities of other countries,
says the London Globe. 1t has been
found that the motor cycle is capable
Of rendering important service. The
system adopted at Altoona is this: On
the first alarm of fire, while the brigade
is getting out the engine, the chief of
the station and an attendant each leap
on to motor cycles and make at high
speed for the scene Of the outbreak,
where the chief at once begins his in
spection. By the time his brigade and
engines arrive he has obtained such
insight into the circumstances that he
can get his men into effective work
without moments waiting.

HUMAN MUSEUM PLAN
Texas Woman Would Make Sci
entific Study of Youth.
WITH BOYS OF ALL NATIONALITIES

Miss s. j. Tellar of Willis, Tex, Pro-
poses to Found an Institution In
Valparaiso, Ind, Where Lads May
Be Studied to Good Advantage-To
Educate Them In Any Branch.
Miss Stella ]. Tellar Of Willis, Tex,
b planning unique enterprise which
she hopes to establish at Valparaiso,
Ind. within the next few years and
which Is nothing less than a human
Eoo," says a special dispatch from
Willis, Tex. to the Chicago Post.
According to Miss Tellars dreams.
she will found an institution in which
boys of all nationalities may be
brought together for the purpose of
comparison, her theory being that the
different peoples Of the earth can be
studied to better advantage where they
are associated and placed under the
same conditions.
Already Miss Tellar is In communion
ton with a number of people whom
she hopes to interest In the project and
has asked them TO secure for her boys
that they happen to know from foreign
lands. She promises to pay all the ex-
penses and agrees to educate the lads
In any branch they may desire.
II intend to have a large farm in con-
nection with my proposed home" says
Miss Tellar, land in connection with
this a school where law, medicine, mu-
sic and trades will be taught. The
farm Is to be equipped with the latest
machinery. and practical agriculture
will be taught. now am working out
the plans for the enterprise and expect
to be able to purchase the land and
begin the erection of buildings within
the next two years. Meanwhile l am
trying to locate available boys who
will move into the home as soon as it
Is ready for them. l desire to make
them happy in their new surroundings
and to give them Quotations. so that
they will be made better able to make
their way in the world
Miss Tellar, who is not vet middle
aged, Is prospectOr for minerals and
by her discoveries to make
enough money in the next few years
to start her project. She makes a con-
tract with owners OF land to locate |
deposits on their lands and |
'tipulates that she is to receive % per |
cent of all profits resulting. She is |
having some success in her methods
which she guards jealousy

CHURCH FLOWING BEE.
Crop Planted by Moran (Kan.) Con-
gregatiOn For Raising Money.

gregatfOn For Raising Money.
A novel means Of raising money for
church purposes recently began at Mo-
ran, Kan. says the Kansas City
Times. Some time ago J. G. Strong,
one Of the country members of the
Presbyterian church, who owns large
farm a mile north of town, suggested
to the officers of the church that they
rent land from him consisting of thir-
ty acres and plant it to crop, the pro-
ceeds to 60 to the church.
The officers and pastor approved the
plan, and it was then submitted to the
membership. which also approved it.
The country members volunteered to
furnish the labor and teams to plant
the CROP One hundred persons, near
~ all of whom were members Of the
church, met at the field and plowed
and planted it to Kafflr corn. Twenty
plOws were at work In the field. Flows.
harrows and planters were at work at
the same time.
The women Of the church prepared
the dinner, and two tents were pitched
in the field, one Of which was used as
a cook tent and the other as a dining
tent.
After dinner some Of the women sat
on the riding plows that were being
used, and some who could not get a
riding pillow took a walking pillow and
plowed few rounds in the field When
the crop is ready for cultivation a SINH
lar day will be observed. Many people
from town went out to see the work be-
ing done.

THE COUNTRY AND CONGRESS

There are many reasons why the
members of the lower house of con-
gress should wish to adjourn and hurry
home. The pressing reason is that all,
or nearly all, are candidates for re-
election, and the reports from their
constituencies are far from reassuring
The state of feeling in the country
against the abuses of big public cor
porationS is such that it cannot be ac-
curately gagged. Members of congress
do not know today whether the passage
of a rate bill will quiet the agitation
or merely accentuate it, They fear the
worst from their personal standpoint.
There is a feeling at Washington that
what has been accomplished in the
way of legislation has merely whetted
the appetite of the country for more.
