and later forwarded the affidavits of
the eye-witnesses and those who par
ticipated in the incident, to the com
mission. This resulted in the sending
of Mr.. Campsey to verify these facts,
and he has conducted a very intelli~
gent investigation.
What the result will be there is no
knowing. Mr.. Campsey, in his official
duties, reports to no one but the Car"
negie Hero Fund Commission. He does
not talk TO newspaper men, or others
who may be Interested parties but gets
his facts by diligent investigation on
the ground himself.
Interviews the Hero,
Tn the case in question, that of
young Thomas Harris, ne got the
young man, himself, who made the
heroic rescue; he got the girl, and he
secured all the important witnesses,
except the parents of the boy These,
he concluded, might be interested,
the details nor to accompany him TO
the scene.
With the others, however, he visited
the Weber river, at point where the
girl fell into the waters, and where
she was rescued by Harris, and waded
to the places that had entered into
the incident. He was accompanied by
the witnesses named and maintained
a rigid cross-eXaminatiou of each Of
them, as each point of the incident
came up. The information received
was noted copiouslv by memoranda,
and will supply the basis of the report
that he will make TO the commission
at its next meeting, in January.
The thoroughness of Mr.. Campsey's
work and the fact that he can and
does keep his. business TO himself, is
not alone instructive it is largely pro-
fessional. While he was a young man,
he worked for years as newspaper
man in Pittsburg and elsewhere, and
has toured the country as reporter
with President Roosevelt.

never yet been the victim Of the para

tions for medals and reward have
never troubled him. He investigates
the most absurdly advanced claims

NOTHING MUCH.

Nothing to nothing is nothing in fig- ures, but it may be a great deal in football. It was much last Saturday, when Yale made the Tigers quail to the extent of keeping them from eating her up, or even getting a bite out of her. And it seems to be thought that if Yale had had about five minutes more she would have made the Tigers quail more But, all things considered, per- haps it is well enough Not few thought and even bet that the Tigers would win, and it can now be admit ted that there was reason in that mo- tion. But no such notion gets carried into fact if Yale can help it, and she helped it Saturday.
 So much for so much. Leaving those things which are safely behind, let us press on to next Saturday. Then. if nothing happens to prevent, there will be something decisive, and Yale is ex- pected to do the deciding.

RURAL SIGNS AND SAYINGS.
Some of Those in Which Belief Can
 Still be Found,

 Some of Those in Which Belief Can
 Still be Found
 While signs and sayings are not so rife as they once were in the New Eng land country, they are still extant to a considerable ldegree among the old people, and perhaps still more so among the children. This sort of thing always has appealed to the imagina- ton of the child, and very likely al- ways will. Clifton Johnson tells in the New England Magazine number of bits of superstitious lore which he gathered from an elderly farmer famil- iarly known as "Gramp," dlminutlve for grandpa Their first experience together, with the witch-hazel crotch, seeking for water, did not prove to be successful for although the crotch, which the old farmer held firmly In both hands, with the extremity point ing vertically in the air, tipped strong ly downward when over a certain spot, subsequent digging failed to disclose any water. The farmers faith in the method, however, was not in any way dissipated.
 Another superstition in which the farmer placed implicit confidence was that storms always clear off at nine In the morning, at sunset, at midnight or at sunrise. Mir Johnson feels, howev- CT, that it would be very ingenious storm which could clear off at time sufficiently removed from the times named not to be assigned to one of them by the weatherwise. It is also believed that the weather on any given day will be as it is between twelve and two in the morning. A cold snap can be depended upon if the dog comes into

the house and puts his head under the mat. If the wind dies down a sunset 1t will blow again the next day. One of the popular feminine beliefs is that if a pin is held between the teeth while peeling onions It will prevent the tears coming. Rats can be driven out of a house by catching one, tarring and feathering 1t and turning 1t loose.
 A simple cure for hiccoughs is for the afflicted one to see how near together he can hold his little fingers without their tuching. Toothache may be prevented by cutting little from each toe and finger nail, wrapping the cut tings in white paper or birch bark and putting them in a hole bored in a pine tree. Close the hole by plugging" said the farmer, and you won't have any trouble from aching as long as you live" Unfortunately this will not pre- vent loss of teeth by decay. Rheuma- tism can be cured by putting mustard in the shoes, and nosebled by pupils by putting a piece of paper under the tongue or a key on the back of the neck. A cure-all almost equal to some advertised remedies Is water bottled at bring on Easter morning before sum rise. Drink a little of it if anything is the matter inside of you, and If you have a sore spot rub it on outside" ed- vised the old farmer You'll be sur prised to see what it does for you, no matter what disease you've got"
 Unfortunate fisherman will do wei to heed the admonition not to cut twlg to string the fish on cannot hope to catch any fish, Carrying cat across running water must be especially guarded against. Tt will" announces "Gramp," ruin your life. You might just as well take dose of deadly poi son and be done with it. Guests of seaside resorts, too, may save them- selves much unnecessary exercise by remembering that when one kills a mo- squito two will come to the funeral and the unfortunate person will be bothered worse than before.

MORE POWER.

When all the water that can be made to work Is working there will be much more power available than there is now. One of the most extensive devel- opments of electrical power In the Unit ed States, which will be ready for util- ization by the first of December, is that at Taylor's Falls, on the St. Croix river, between Wisconsin and Minnesota. Here some eighteen months ago work was begun on mammoth dam and electric powerhouse, where electricity might be generated for the Minneapolis market. This undertaking is now prac- tically completed at an expenditure of $S,5OO,0O0 Within a month the partial development, amounting to 12,0O0 horse- power of electrical energy, will be avail able in Minneapolis for manufacturing purposes. The ultimate development will render available between 5000 and 30,0O0 horsepower. The advent of elec- tricity as manufacturing power opens up great field for Minneapolis, espe- cially when economy favors Its use. Electricity generated at a distance by waterpower settles at once two great problems, those of fuel and of smoke. Before bit of work could be done on the St. Croix over a half million dollars had to be expended to secure flowage rights. Twenty-one miles of shore line on both sides of the river were bought, and to the ten miles of back-water formed by the new work may be added another eleven miles of bondage which has also been secured. To-day the plant consists of completely equipped mod ern powerhouse and dam, and a trans mission line 4O.67 miles in length, which carries the current in almost a bee line to the sub-station innortheast Min neapolis.
 We are getting so used to wonders that we don't notice them much. But carrying power over a wire about Il miles is wonderful.

ONE OF THE SLAIN.

It Is better to be right than to be @ congressman, but there are many men who are apparently slick enough to be both. Such is not Congressman Wadsworth of Genesee, New York, who fell or was thrown down in the recent election. He was popular enough to have a plurality of 13,OOO when he was elected, but that went away. Among the causes given for his defeat is the fact that he was opposed to free-seed distribution. He represented a farm ing constituency He was himself a scientific agriculturalist and chairman of the house committee on agriculture. And he led the fight against free-seed distribution, supposed to be a gratuity to the farmers. He steadily opposed the oleomargarine legislation, which was designed to protect the industry of the dairymen against that of the cat tle raiser, at the expense of the pub lie. He also dared to take the unpop- ular side on the pure-food legislation, and to indulge in a somewhat acri- monious correspondence with President Roosevelt.
 On the face of 1t it seems that such man ought to have been allowed to continue in congress. But perhaps he didn't know how to trim well enough to enable him to continue.
