Had to Justify Excitement.

A young woman who had her purse
snatched from her hand recently by
a thief while boarding car, in relat-
ing her experience. said that she lost
her voice for at least a second after
the incident.
Il tried to yell thief at the top Of
my voice. she said. but my lips
seemed to be paralyzed. When / did
recover my voice made 30 much noise
that everybody, women and all leaped
OF the car and started In pursuit OF
the thief. who jumped over the Gen.
tral park wall and escaped.

All the passengers asked me how
much money had In the purse. OF

that l simply had to exaggerate fear

HAVE FEW PRIVATE SCHOOLS.
Swiss People Pin Their Faith to Pub
Tic Institutions.

One OF the reasons why the Swiss
fare well is that their public-school
system is probably the best in the
world. and with them public-school
education is practically compulsory,
writes Charles E. Russell In Every
body's. You can send your child to
a private school lin some cantons) II
you insist upon so doing. but the face
OF the government and the force OF
public opinion are sternly against the
practice. In the canton OF Solothurn
private schools are absolutely forbid
den.
In other cantons private school
pupil must secure a formal permit
from the local authorities and in some
cantons he must pay charge to the
public funds. The idea is that the
public schools are good enough for all.
that rich and poor meet there on even
terms, that the public school is the
nursery Of democracy and patriotism:
above all. that democracy is the life
blood and strength and very soul Of
the republic. and the republic is
Switzerland. and without the republic
Switzerland is nothing.
Private schools for Swiss children
are few in number and such as exist
are under strict supervision Of the
state. Education is serious matter
IN Switzerland. there is no escape
from it. A parent must send his chill
dren to school or go himself to jail.
They kept a seventh-day adventist In
jail for two years because he refused
to let his child attend school on Sat
urdays. AS it then seemed likely he
would pass the rest of his life In a
cell. he surrendered.

PROPER MANAGEMENT OF DOGS.
Some Things Lovers Of the Animal
ehould Bear In Mind.

In managing your dogs there will
not perhaps be much fun unless you
can follow your individual notions on
what constitutes enjoyment. There is
not perhaps a single thrill In twisting
your soul to carry out processes which
rasp against the grain. However, am
not your parish priest, but dog man.
says Joseph A. Graham. in the Out
ing Magazine Whatever your imag-
ination may invent. dog is still a
dog. and has none Of the attributes
which we assign to ourselves when we
feel mushy. A dog understands yes"
and is equally competent to grasp
no" Outside Of that. he is all dog
and follows his dog ways. He INDUCES
in no mental refinement and will not
comprehend many OF your changes Of
mood or mind. Whatever you under
take to teach. make It plain, sinr'-
and Interchangeable. It is pity that
must be taught not to Jump up on p@
ole and compliment them with his ca
resses. He means well, but must be
disciplined sternly into knowing that
1t is not in good form under any cir
cumstances. The discipline need not
be accompanied by any severity. A
light touch with whip, II applied In
variably. will soon settle the matter.

Age is not a question of years but
of experience and Of the effect there.
Of on the body. brain or heart. A man
may be "old" at 80 or young at 20.
The fact Of measuring age in years
leads to dismal consequences, One

He thinks that he should begin to de-
cline at 70, and not from any In

ODD CONSCIENCE MONEY! ;
Solicitor Paid in Over a Thousand
Pounds to a Railroad Company.

London Tribune.
a remarkable "cash' entry in the
accounts of the London. Brighton and
South Coast Railroad was referred to
at the ordinary meeting of the com
pany yesterday.
Lord Cottesloe, who presided. called
attention to the fact that the general
insurance fund was credited with the
sum of 200 pounds under the simple
entry of "eash. The circumstances in
which the money was paid over to the
company were unusual.
\ London solicitor called on the
companv'S solicitors in January and
stated that Il client Of his (whoSc
name he was not allowed to divuIge)
was in the possession Of sum Of
money which he considered to belong
rightfully to the company and which
he wished TO pay over. The solicitor
declined to give any information as to
how the money came into thc client 's
possession. and he was only prepared
to say that his client was not and
never had been connected with the
company. IF the acceptance Of the
offer was declined, he added, he would
advise his client that, having made
the offer, he might retain the money
with clear conscience.
The true facts connected with this
payment, said Lord Cottesloc, would
probably never be known. 1t was a
very unusual circumstance for a rail
way company to receive what unques-
| tionably must be "conscience
money!
The offer was accepted.

A BOILED DINNER.
Cook Meat First and Let Cool SO Fat
Can Be Removed Before Add
ing Vegetables.

One Of our readers asks how to get
up a boiled" dinner, as she is new
at the business Of cooking. For the
foundation Of the boiled dinner, a
small ham, or shoulder of pork, pre-
ferably fresh, or piece of corned beel
(home-cured, is best), or even a piece
Of salt or home-picxled pork is good
Cook the meat early enough to allow
the liquor to cool that the surplus fat
may be removed from it before putting
in the vegetables. If cOrned beef is
used, it should be washed and soaked
in cold water for several hours, then
put on to cook in freshly boiling water
and kept boiling slowly (simmering)
until tender, skimming until it is clear.
Leave the meat in the water until It
cools, then take out, and let the water
get cold, when the cake of fat can be
removed. For cooking the vegetables
or whatever kind chosen, take part of
the water in which the meat was
cooked, and cook each kind Of vege-
table to itself, in separate kettle
Arrange so as to have all KINDS done
at the same time; some kinds take
less time for cooking than others and
nothing should be either under or cvef-
done. Potatoes. turnips, carrots, par
ships, cabbage, or any vegetable usu-
ally cooked with meats will answer.
In serving, place the meat in the
center OF the platter, and arrange the
vegetables around it in an attractive
manner; or, serve the meat on its plat
ter, using vegetable dishes for the
vegetables, and serving as required.
For a family dinner, the small indl-
vidual dishes or platter are seldom
used, but you can use them if you pre-
fer to keep the vegetables separate,
and to serve them all at once. Bits OF
parsley, eaten at or with the dinner IS
said to absorb the odor of cabbage or
other vegetables that might unpleas-
anti saint the breath.-The Com
moner.

would come when the east would find
its protection in the west. He re-

Senator McCumber was followed by
Senator Patterson of Colorado, who
spoke in opposition to the house bill.
He devoted his attention almost ex-

1t is practically certain that the For
aker amendment will be adopted, and
possibly the bill may be divided.
Senator Bailey says that if Speaker
Cannon tries to smother the bill in
committee the senate will add it to
an appropriation bill, thus forcing it
to vote in the house.

Washington, Mar. S-When the SEN
ate convened today and Senator Nc
Cumber of North Dakota began his
speech on statehood there we're only a
few senators present. Mr.. McCumber
introduced his speech by presenting a
substitute for the pending statehood
bill. His measure would make one
state of Oklahoma and one state of
Indian Territory, the latter to be
called Sequoyah, and would for the
present eliminate Arizona and New
Mexico altogether.
Senator McCumber made an ex-
tended argument against the consoli-
dation of territories into fewer states
contending that more western states
are necessary in order to give the ag-
ricultural and other trans Mississippi
interests adequate representation in
congress.
He predicted that in the near fu-
ture the west would have much
larger population than the east. He
said that even If the present bounda-
ry lines were preserved it would still
be impossible to secure as many states

To Democratic Voters of vinita

There is but one way to achieve
success, and that is to work for it..
Every man is interested in good gov
ernment and clean and honest poll
tics. q less the rank and file takes
hold and helps to put up good men
for Iotiices 1t perforce is lefu to a
few to do so.
When candidates are selected by
the few they are usually not represen-
tatiye men, and in consequence not
generally satisfactory to the mass of
voters If we are to win in the ap-
preaching city election we must ALL
GET TOGETHER and put up men who
are good progressive citizens, who
wear no mans collar, and who can be
depended on to work for the best in
terests of Vinita.
We cannot do anything unless all
take an interest and help to put up the
peoples men. Let every Democrat
constitute himself a committee OF
one, and get out to all Democratic
meetings. Not only should all attend
the meetings, but you should not be
afraid to speak out and let your views
be known to your fellow Democrats
Let US start right Don't hold
back and leave the matter to few to
arrange a slate. Get out yourself and
stir things up so that we may nomi-
nate a ticket that all good citizens
can support. The great trouble with
Vinita Democrats is that they are too
apathetic.
In conclusion wish to urge all
Democrats to be sure to attend the
ward meetings on Thursday night OF
this week.
1t is very important that you DO
50 if you want to see Vinita grow and
have good government.
