Queer Varmlnt Is Man.

Wouldn't there be roar when men
went home to their meals if they had to
climb up on high stool in front of a
table on which there was no cloth and
eat their meals in that fashion? Yet a
majority of men when they go to res
taurant to eat will pick out the highest
stool and feedboard with no cloth on it
in preference to comfortable chair and
cloth-covered table. A man will Dor
row a chew of tobacco, and most of them
will set their teeth into the plug right
where some other man has gnawed out
chew. Offer them piece of pie at
home from which the wife or one of the
children has taken bite and they
would boiler their heads off. At home
such fellow would not drink out of a
glass or cup from which one of the
family has been drinking. Call him in
to the back stall of dirty old livery
barn, pull out bottle and he will stick
the neck of the bottle half way down his
throat in order to get swig after a
dozen other fellows have had the neck
of the same bottle in their mouths

SUPPOSED CORPSE ALIVE.
Orvllle Hursey the Lineville Boy
Who was Supposed Dead and
Buried is Alive.

Supposed to have died terrible death
from exposure and starvation a month
ago and buried by his parents who were
almost crazed over the report of his
horrible death, Orville Hursey, the 10
year-old son of Robert Hursey, of Line
vile, La, turned up alive and we'll in
Des Moines yesterday as assistant night
clerk at the Graefe house.
Who the boy was that lies in the grave
at Lineville, over which fond mother
shed many bitter tears, no one knows.
1t is believed, however, to have been a
comrade of Hursey, who after separat-
ing from him assumed his companions
name.
January 16 a young boy who had been
known as Orville Hursey was found
dying at Griswold. Physicians failed to
save his life and attributed his death to
exposure and starvation. Friends of the
boy claimed to know him as Hursey and
his father, Robert Hursey, was notified
at Lineville and went to Griswold to
identify the dead boy. His Identified
tion was complete, the body was re-
turned to Lineville and buried there
January 10.
For month father and mother have
been weeping and grieving over the
death of their only child. The mother
was seriously affected by the loss and
for time it was feared that the horrible
death her son met would unsettle her
mind.
Z Last Thursday she received a letter
from her son dated at Des Moines and
giving the information that he was en-
ployed at the Graefe hotel in that city.
Too overjoyed to believe the truth of
the letter, she sent tintype and letter
to Proprietor Kraetsce of the Graefe
house asking if the boy was really her
son. The Identification was complete
and yesterday Hursey left for Lneville
to assure his mother in flesh and blood
that he was still alive.
81 don't know who the boy was thew
buried at Grswold," was the statement
given out at the Graefe house today.
"But it certainly was not young Hursey.
He had been working here week when
the letter from his mother came. There
is no doubt but what he is the son who
i is supposed to have been placed in a
grave at Lineville. The boy had been
wandering about the country for year
and didn't know his parents missed him
until this letter from his mother came"
i A telegram from Lineville today con-
firms the story of the boys discovery in
Des Moines and an Investigation is now
being made to discover who was buried
in his grave in that city.-Des Moines

The Best Way to Rise In the World

The Best Way to Rise In the World.
Young men are always being advised
to rise in the world
Which may or may not be good ad-
vice. 1t depends upon:
How the young man rises.
What he rises upon.
What he rises to.
What he takes up with him.
If your idea Is to rise in the world by
making money and having people look
up to you on that account it Is easy
enough.
If you want to go up like a man
however, put some foundation besides
dollars under you. What will you rise
to? To something worth while. Ideals
are worth while, and one way to define
ideals Is to say they are what your
mother wants you to be. When men go
up to ideals they are the light Of the
world.-Chicago Journal.

"a leopard collar" he said, taking up
dog collar studded with sharp spikes
three inches long Fitting the collar on
his dog, he resumed: This piece of
armor-for that is what it is-illus-
trates an oddly Of the Himalayas-
namely, the fondness Of the Hima-
layan leopard for dog flesh. In the
Himalayas last year l found that all
dogs Wore these murderous looking
spiked collars. The explanation was
that the Himalayan leopards conducted
an unceasing dog hunt, and that in at
lacking dog they always fell upon his
neck. This collar with it's sharp spikes
is great protection. 1t has saved
many a dog from a hungry leopard
Often in the Himalayas dog comes
trotting home safe and sound, though
with smears of blood and yellow hairs
upon his collar spikes"

An iron boat was built in 1777 on
the river Fosse, in Yorkshire. 1t was
fifteen feet long and was made of sheet
iron. In 1915 Thomas Jevons launched
a small iron boat on the Mersey. II
was built by Joshua Horton near Bir.
mingham and fitted up at Liverpool
and was the first iron boat that float
ed on salt water. The first iron steam
vessel was built by the Horsley com
pany for the river Seine and called
Aaron Manly, after its protector. He
took out a patent in France for iron
steamships in 1920 and formed soci
ETY. for the construction of such yes
sells. She was put together in London
and took a cargo Of linseed and iron
castings to Havre and Paris. If, how.
ever, Dutch tradition is to be credit.
ed the first iron vessel that ever float
ed was the famous Flying Dutchman
herself. She was launched in 1857, and
her fate was supposed to be judg

lated the order Of nature by making
iron float.-London Graphic.

The discovery of a quantity of hui
man bones in the wreck of the Brock
man block, last Saturday morning,
caused quite breeze of excitement on
the streets for while. A bucket full
of the bones was unearthed and there
is no question but that they at one time
formed the framework of human be-
ing. 1t was feared for time that the
bones were those of some one that had
persisted in the fire, but the members of
the defunct K. P. lodge state that they
had skeleton in their lodge room, and
the bones undoubtedly came from that
source. They are exhibited in Lon
Pollock's window and created quite a
discussion on the streets Saturday.

poyed IN the making OF these small articles. At-

In the year 1905, the United States produced

ual. Halt Of these were pearl and the majority
Of them fresh water pearl. Tweny-one States

PENNSYLVANIA makes bone buttons. About $780,
ooo.ooo vegetable ivory buttons are made, mainly
in New York In 1905, a4o,ooo,ooo needles and
100000 pins were produced in this country
For some reason we do not make hand-sewing
and darning needles, or crochet, tape and knitting
needles They are fabricated abroad entirely.
soSSsooI6 wood-incased lead pencils and 4Slo,-
400 fountain pens were made in 1905 in the

pact with the Liberals even for one election. the
Socialists pursued different course from that
characteristic Of the party which seeks no alli-
ance with any Of the older parties 1t is evident,
however, that Socialism has made headway in
England where for years it has been unable TO
gain firm foothold
II will become an important factor in English
politics On the continent, especially in. France
Germany and Austria, the Socialists are a very
large party and the significant part Of their prop
aganda IS that 1t holds It's voters. There is put
slight huctuation IN the Socialist vote as election
after election passes. Should Socialism gain the
headway that is feared in England, the Conser-
yative party will be strengthened by an inaux Of
those Liberals who are as much opposed to the
extreme radicalism Of the Socialists as are the
Tories themselves But it will take several cleo
tons to tell the real strength of the English So

RAILwAY INCIDENTS INcREAsE.

n I'VE thousand persons were killed and
= 7o,2oS injured in railroad accidents in the
fiscal year ended June 80 last, according to the
statistics OF the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion
This was an increase OF us in the number
killed, and o,577 in the number injured over the
previous year
Analyzing its report the commission says:
The salient facts in the figures for the year are,
first that there have been heavy increases in all
of the items, except accidents in car coupling and
from striking against overhead distractions and,
second, that the number of passengers killed and
injured in collisions and derailments has in
creased to an alarming degree. In this item the
large total reported in 1905 is now exceeded by
II per cent. The comparative smallness of the
increases in casualties due to coupling and un-
coupling cars and in accidents to men on the tops
of freight cars is undoubtedly due in large
measure to improvement in the maintenance and
care OF automatic couplers and to the increased
of airbrakes in freight trains
In the last quarter Of the year there were 1,o6s
killed and IS46 injured

SOCIALISM IN ENGLAND.

@ OCIALISM is forcing itself to the front as
~ political issue in England, and the situa-
ton has become so alarming from his view
point that Balfour, the conservative leader, has
called upon all the elements of the population
who are opposed TO Socialstic ideas to rally with
the Unionist or Tory party. The situation is not
SO alarming as Balfour points out but he sees an
opportunity to play on the fears OF the opponents
OF Socialism to increase the strength of the
Unionist party.
The Liberal majority that swept England pre-
vious to the last Parliament was composed of
different groups that could not hold together
with the natural consequence that some of the
discordant elements are going it alone. The so
calists adopted this plan OF having their own
ticket and they were severely routed at the re-
cent municipal elections in England, which cleo
tions showed the trend Of sentiment towards the
conservatives. The reaction against the Liberals
and their medley OF factions came
The Liberals including moderates like Sir
Henry Campbell Zimmerman carried with them
at former election the laborites but the alliance
did not prove satisfactory. The labortes quickly
seeded from the Liberal compact, and now The
Socialists have done Likewise. In forming conf

In spite OF the agitation against divorce, the
preachings and the conventions and conferences
at which the sanctity of the home is considered.
there is no essening in the number of divorces
and the sentiment among those who study this
problem is rapidly chrystalizing in favor OF
national divorce law. Each State has its differ
ent laws, and it follows that if people who cannot
secure a,divorce in one State find it easy to OBJ
tain one in another where the causes for divorce
are different there will be no decrease in the
divorce evil. The conflicting laws regarding di-
vorce in the different States are direct encour-
agement to divorce And yet proposed national
divorce law would be strongly resisted by those
who believe that such measure would be gov
ernment interference with the rights of the State.
