CHOPS HOLE IN WALL
Eccentric Man Declares He Has &

"PeephoIe"
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PONTIAC, Mich, March 11.-"You
don't close up my peephole in the Pom
tiac opera house" said Leonard Gable
hardware dealer, who runs store next
to the Pontiac opera house.
Gable has ideas of his own. When
the opera house was put up some years
ago the same wall was used as the
one which supports the north wall OF
the Gable building. The plan was sat
isfactory at the time, but since the new
management has taken charge of the
house Gable has had blood in his eye.
The windows in his building had been
lathed over and plastered on the opera
house side. but a small hole was left
for Leonard to witness the perform
anceS.
When the new management took
charge they closed up the hole, with
the result that Gable took an ak and
chopped two holes in the wall the size
of an ordinary window. He says that
the wall belongs to him, and he will
chop it up if he wants to. He has
an unobstructed view of everything
that takes place in the house, and
chops everything down that is put up
to obstruct the view.

SCALES ROOF TO SAVE FLAG
Crowd Sees Woman Risk Life on Ice
of Old Postoffice Buid-
ina in CHICAGO

CHICAGO, March 11.-Persons pass
ing the old postoffice building on the
lake front at noon today were aston
ished to see young woman laborious-
ly climbing up the snow-covered roof.
A throng gathered, many fearing the
woman would throw herself to the
street. Policemen were undecided what
should be done.
The woman reached the highest point
on the roof and rested with her arm
about the fagpole. She smiled at the
crowd and pointed at the tattered flag.
She loosened the rope and hauled
the flag down. She waved it to the
crowd, then carefully folded it and de-
scended from the roof
There was little pf the flag left, it
having been whipped into shreds by
the winds. The young woman left
the building and no one learned her
name. 1t is supposed she desired to
save It from further destruction by
the winds.

Speaking of Greene Consolidated the
Boston Financial News says: "It took
the public some time to realize the bar
gain that was put before it in Greene
Consolidated at a few cents over par
the share. When it did there was a
scramble for rights to the new stock
issue that caused the price to rise
from cents to % cents. The salient

and, as Col. Greene has pointed out,
it is doing so on what are lean ores,
saving it's best rock for eras of low
prices. This wise plan assures the con-
tinuance of the present rate of pay
ment The money that will accrue to
the company will be used in the erec-

GLASS BEADS TEST DIGESTION
Snecial to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, March 11.-Prof. Max
Einhorn of the postgraduate medical
school and hospital has been feeding
number of New Workers on glass beads
to find out how much they were behind
an African ostrich in the matter of
digestion. The professors series of
extraordinary experiments have been
concluded and show that beefsteak and
potatoes, the standard diet in this city,
are harder to digest than Is generally
supposed. Other curiosities of diges-
ton were also brought to light
Prof Einhorn chose small porcelain
or glass beads for his experiments. At
first he tried to coat the beads with
an essence of various articles of food,
but had to give that plan up. Several
weeks ago he conceived the plan of
loading" the beads with solid food
stuffs by drawing them through an
opening in food and tying them on
with silk thread.
To test the work of the digestive
fluids in the stomach only the professor
fed LOADED" beads to his subjects by
inclosing them in gelatine capsules
with long silk thread attached. The
subject then swallowed the encapsuled
bead which was pulled up again after
an interval of from four to six hours.
In this way the extent of gastric diges-
ton was easily estimated. Other loaded
beads were fed to subjects without any
thread attached.
Among the articles inserted in the
beads were catgut, raw tendon, raw
and boiled beef, raw chicken skin. raw
and boiled potato, raw potato skin,
apples, fish bones, wax. paratfine,
stearic acid, suet and mutton fat.
According to Prof. Einhorn these. eX-
periments proved that in the average
healthy New Yorker both catgut and
fish bones digested in the stomach,
whereas boiled or raw beef, raw
chicken skin, and raw as well as boiled
potatoes did not disappear altogether
in the stomach. The, raw chicken skin
and raw muscle fiber disappeared fur
ther on, but the tendons were not di-
gested at all. 1t was the same way
with potato skin. Mutton fat remained
unchanged in the stomach, but disap-
peared through chemical action
later on.

WA S HIN G T ON, March 11.-Ross
r. Brattain of Spokane, Wash, is a
young man with cause for a grievance
against his father-in law. Recently he
worked sufficient political pull to get
the appointment, after he had passed
a satisfactory examination, as consul
at Hongchow, China, with a salary Of
$4,000.
The department of state has now
been informed by the young man that
it will be impossible for him to accept
the appointment because his father-in-
law objects to allowing his daughter to
go to China.
Young Brattain finds himself in the
predicament of being forced to abandon
either his wife or his job, and has
chosen to give up the consulship.

LOOKS RATHER QUEER.
"Words Good When Backed Up by Deeds,
and Only So,'' Says Roosevelt.

The Lincoln Commercial Club is doing a
wonderful lot of talking, about building up
Lincoln, ''patronizing home industry and
all that of thing. If the gentlemen of that
club opportunity to secure factory
employing fifty or sixty men 4 would go after
it with vim. But it is overlooking an oppor
tunty to boost something that would furnish
employment for that many if not men,
although they would be distributed among
several factories.
The Commercial Club maintains cigar
stand. In that cigar case are displayed doz-
en- or more boxes of cigars. For every Lin
coin made cigar sold from that case, hundred
cigars made elsewhere are sold. There are
ten boxes of foreign made cigars for each box
of Lincoln made cigars in that case.
The Commercial Club ought to practice
what it breaches. Here is an opportunity to
boost home industry-to treble the number
of cigarmakers working in Lincoln. If one
half the cigars smoked in Lincoln were Lincoln
made, there would be more than 100 cigarmak-
ers at work, drawing wages that would be
spent right here in Lincoln. AS it is there are
less than 35 cigarmakers at work in this city.
Wake up. gentlemen of the Commercial
Club, and do a little less preaching and a lot

TRADES UNIONS IN POLITICS.
British Workmen Show How to Secure Results

The trade unionists of this country heartily
congratulate their brethren across the sea in
wrestling from the aristocracy forty, or possibly
fifty, seats in the House of Commons They
have achieved wonderful victory for indus
trial freedom, and it is hoped that the intro
duction of trade union influence in the Com

English statutes the unjust features Of the com
binaton laws which have seriously impaired
the prosperity of organized labor and been
great injury to English workngsnep Such de-
cisions that in the Taff-Va1a csse aroused the
trade unionists to the Importance of securing
representation in Parliament, and the election
shows how energetically they have worked to
arouse public sentiment in their favor. The
revolution will result in the retirement of many
members from the House of Commons who
have represented only the aristocratic point Of
view in industrial legislation.

ARE YOU LIKE THE ELEPHANT?

The elephant is the largest beast earth,
and is accounted the most intelligent, next to
man. 1t possesses tremendous power which if
exerted to the full would make it a terror.
But despite it's boasted intelligence the ele-
phant is the most foolish of beasts.
A little man whom it could crush like boy
crushes an eggshell rules it with bit of wood
reinforced with sharp hook, and the slightest
motion of that iron hook frightens the elephant
into submission AS result this powerful
beast tremblingly performs the hardest kind
of labor, and endures without resistance the i'll
treatment of its master.
Now don't go to making fun of the ele-
phant s foolishness.
Perhaps you are just as foolish as the ele-
phant Better stop and investigate little bit.
The wage earners Of America form the great
majority of the voting population, and there
fore possess strength compared to which the
strength of the elephant is as nothing.
But what of it?
Their strength does them no good. Either
they lack the intelligence to WELD 1T in Their
own interests, they are content, like the
beasts of the field, to toll from day to day for
miserable pittance of what they create.
Have they any reason to make fun OF tho
foolish elephant?

DID SECRETARY KINNEY SAY IT?

if he did say it the sooner his services as a union

for the Omaha printers. Such doctrine as
that, carried to it's logical conclusion would dis

he was known to have declared that he would

said:
Morally the Chinaman is the most unclean
thing in human form. His moral filthiness has
been ingraned into him through countless gen
erations. 1t will take countless generations to
change him. AS laborer we do not want him.
AS social compeer he is unthinkable. AS a
citizen he is impossible. To those who say that
need him to pull weeds out Of beets, pick
fruit, clean stables do menial work,
l will say that before will let Chinaman do
any of these things for me l will clean my own
stable, curr ymy own horse, pull my own weeds
and let my fruit rot upon the trees if | not
pick it myself, before l will employ Chinaman
to do any of these things for me. Foul morally,
filthy personally, dishonest to unthinkable
degree, superstitious beyond conception, the
Chinaman must be kept out in self defense.
sChina will remain the same superstitious,
poverty-stricken dangerous country that it is
today for centuries to come, and then its better
ment will result in changing the Chinaman
This is nation made up Of different ma
