He Heard Someone Say ''Drink''

When someone says drink v to Con ne Malone all other affairs of ordinary every day importance are banished from his mind Somebody said it yesterday when Connie was clinging to a rope ten feet in the air. MT. Malone is now at St. Bernard s hospital, wondering how it happened.
 With his two brothers Connie, who lives at III West Taylor street, went in the afternoon to picnic in vacant lot at Sixty-seventh and State streets One of the features of the picnic was big swing. Connie bet his brothers that he could climb highest on the swing rope Then he started up. He was ten feet from the ground when an aequaint- ance sauntered mp to the brothers.
 "I1l buy drink, " he suggested cor dially.
 The next instant Connie, who weighs good deal, came crashing into the cinders laid beneath the swing.
 A physician who was summoned found that Connie had injured his spine badly and that the cinders had been ground into his face.
 Later Connie explained the situa- tion.
 ''I heard that guy say drink, y he said, a bit sheepishly, "and forgot l had hold of the rope.
 And after all his hurry Connie hash t got the drink yet.--Chieago Tribune.

You carry home bagful of peanuts and you have with you considerably more than the equivalent of two pounds Of steak-at only a small fraction of its cost at that. But the peanut doesn t stop there; it not only shoves beef, mutton and pork aside, but it goes right on and brushes past all the much yaunted breakfast foods. As a pre- server of life and a promoter of longev- ity, as builder of bones and muscles, as manufacturer of good red blood and good gray matter, it is the very prince and paragon of them all.
 Let the tail go with the hide, and the breakfast food industry follow the beef trust On with the peanuts! Pea nuts raw and peanuts roasted, peanuts

K|BBEY ID RESIGN
 BUT NOT JUST YET
Tucson Paper Latest to Appear with Usual Bi-monthly Resignation Rumor -Sturgis Accused of Trying to Per suade Executive to Quit His Chair.

The Kibbey resignation rumor was revived in a recent issue of the Tucson Star (formerly Republican, now Demo cratic), in which Big Chief Sturgis, the leader of the Arizona G. o. P.'s, is accused of being after the big char in Phoenix. The Star says:
 The Republican politicians are still getting upstairs and climbing over each other.
 By this it is meant that more of the details of the political powwow between Kibbey, Sturgis and Hitchcock at Phoenix are becoming uncovered.
 It has developed that Governor Kib- bey has concluded that he can make more money working in private life and that he would like to run for con gress. Believing this he has concluded that he will resign and he told Hitch cock when he was here that he would resign. Hitchcock and Garfield both told him that he could have the job just as long as he wanted it; but for private reasons he does not want it..
  lawyer and run for congress and beat the nominee of the Democratic party, thus showing the administration that Arizona has the making of a Republican state.
 All this is known to Committeeman Sturgis, and Sturgis journeyed to Phoe- nix ready to trade anything for the governorship. It is said that he offered Kibbey the Pima county delegation to be delivered to Kibbey for congress and for Roosevelt or Taft for presi- dent if he could get the governorship. Tn other words, he was willing to trade anything he had from his jack-knife to a report in favor of the abolition of the livestock sanitary board, for the governorship.
 Kibbey, however, was foxy. He did not say so to Sturgis, but to other peo- pie he intimated that Sturgis could not deliver his delegation, and that he thought he would hold the governor ship until he could get more for it. When Hitchcock heard that Sturgis could not deliver anything for Roose- welt, he also got that tired feeling that you read about in patent medicine ad- vertisements, and the chances are that Sturgis will have to be satisfied with dispensing few fourth-class postof- | fees.
 But if there are any politicians in Arizona who are opposed to joint state hood and who have few delegations to the territorial convention sticking around in their pockets, and if they are open to a little business on the side, they may hear something to their ad- vantage by calling at the governor 6 office, or by 'phoning over to Sturgis at Tucson. It will be just like getting money from home for the air is full of traffic and commerce.

ST. GAUDENS COINS
 CANNOT BE USED
Late ScuIptor's Designs Not Practicable Can
 not Be Stacked Up

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, August 15.- Designs for coins to be minted in this city, which Augustus St. Gaudens, the distinguished sculptor, made shortly be- fore his death, have been found unsuit- able in their present shape for execu- tion with the machinery in use at the mint. Hence, contrary to current re- port, the government has not accepted any of them.
 The general approval which was ex- pressed by the president is not eonclu- sive in an ooilicial sense. The law re- quires that they shall be accepted by the secretary of the treasurer and the director of the mint before being adopt ed.
 The projection of the figures upon the coins is too high for convenience of handling at banks or other large business establishments. Coins cannot be well stacked' unless one will lie perfectly snug and flat upon another, and this is impossible when the bas reliefs in the middle are higher than the rim. A pile of the St. Gaudens coins would topple over.
 It was St. Gaudens idea, which found especial favor with President Roosevelt, to return to the classical style of coin age. Ancient coins are most remark able for the projection of the sculp- tured form. But in the ancient world banking and the handling of immense sums of money in the manner of to- day were unknown.
 The designs made by St. Gaudens have been pronounced extremely beauti- full The American Numismatic society has urgently advocated more artistic scheme of coinage than that which has been in use in the United States for half century or more. St. Gaudens, under the provisions of the act of con gress authorizing the new coinage, re- tained the chief general. characteristics of the old pieces, but gave them an artistic realization.

RAILROADS LOSE MONEY
Millions Lost Through Operation of
 Twocent Fare Laws

Passenger revenues and the extent passage of the two-cent rate laws by large number of states are matters now occupying a large degree of the attention of railroad fnanciers. It is estimated that revenues from this source of all roads in the United States amount to not less than $5,000,000 a year. This is about one-third of the freight earnings and onefourth of the gross earnings of the railroads. The normal increase in passenger earnings from year to year is about per cent, when they are undisturbed by legis- lative interference.
 The two-cent laws, for time at least, are expected to wipe out this in crease entirely, if they do not cause an actual reduction in the revenues as compared with previous years. Just what the reductions may amount to may be better understood when it is stated that rates between Chicago and St. Paul have been cut 24 per cent by the changes in the laws, while the rate from Chicago to Omaha and Kansas City have been cut 27.5 per cent.
 No other source of income may be expected to make good the loss suf- fered by the reductions. The freight division of the service will have all it can do to take care of itself. Among experienced passenger officials the Opin- ion does not obtain that travel will be increased by the reduced rates to the extent necessary to make good the loss. They rather incline to the opinion that the loss will be dead one, which the owners of the railroad property will have to pocket themselves.

In order to make his views known
publicly, the President has sent the
following letter TO Mr. Cortelyou:
The White House, Washington, D. c.,
October 26th.
Mr. Dear Mr.. Cortelyou-I congrat-
ulate you upon the admirable way in
which you have handled the recent
crisis. | congratulate also those con-
servative and substantial business men
who in this crisis have acted with such
wisdom and public spirit. By their
action they did invaluable service in
checking the panic, which, beginning
as matter of speculation, was threat
ening to destroy the confidence and
credit necessary to the conduct OF le-
gitimate business. No one who con-
Siders calmly can question that the
underlying conditions which make up
our financial and our Industrial we'll
being are essentially sound and honest.
Dishonest dealing and speculative en-
terpriSeS are merely the occasional in
cidents of our real prosperity The ac-
ton taken by you and ny the business
men in question has been of the ut
most consequence, and has secured Op-
portunity for the calm consideration
which must inevitably produce entire
confidence in our business conditions.
Faithfully yours,
