Barbers Lean to Curios

A clock that had certain value be- cause of historic associations was To- eated by a collector in a barber shop.
 "He seemed surprised to find it here, said the barber, "but he need not have been. Barbers are now run ming race with saloonkeepers in buy, ing up many such objects of interest. There are dozens of barber shops in town that can boast pieces of bri-a-brae old enough and curious enough to make the collector s mouth water. In some cases the patrons of those shops realize the value of the ornaments provided for them to blink at when getting shaved, or their hair cut; in other cases, they don't but the proprietor knows every time what a bonanza he has on hand, and it would take mighty sharp bar gaining to get the things away from him.

Ailments of Americans

A prominent physician of Carlsbad reckons on two or three fingers the chief ailments of Americans who con suit him. They are the results of over indulgence at the table and the worry habit contracted by going the pace. The pace, as everyone knows, may be the too enthusiastic pursuit of any branch of business or social life. A moderate chase gives no one cause for worriment. It is when one gallops all the time that there is mischief. To staid and sober observer who cannot see more than one side of condition at glance, it ap- pears possibly that it would be easier and pleasanter to take the remedy of moderation in this country than to have to cross annually to foreign parts in search of a cure. But he would find diff ficulty in leading any outside of his own circle to agree with him. Getting into shape to require the cure is two thirds of the fun and the other third is found in taking the cure.-Boston Transcript.

GAMBLER BALKS ON CHINA
Consular Judge Shows Man From Mis-.
 souri About Jurisdiction of Court

"Gus " Baughman, for twenty year, a boss gambler of Kansas City ant later the owner of the biggest gamb ling house in the French quarter oi Tientsin, China, has returned to Mis- souri. The reform wave did it.
 "Back to the Clay county farm fo, mine, said Baughman. "When re. form struck China l came back.
 Baughman brought some money with him, but he would not say how much Enough, however, so that he talked cheerfully of his experience in the far East.
 The United States maintains consular court in the Asiatic countries and pun ishes Americans who violate Federal laws. Baughman did not expect to get in the way of the Federal courts in China, but he did.
 "Judge Wildley is judge of the con sular court" he explained. "Not long ago he concluded to clean out the sport ing element in Tientsin. He told me to get out of the country. l questioned his jurisdiction. He said; You wait till l get through with you and you will see what authority I have over you. : Then investigated and found he was right, SO l came back to Missouri. I am not going back to Washing, ton Post.

Dream Told Him Name

Through a dream Samuel Howard, the chief operator for telegraph company here, probably saved the company a damage suit. A message was received Friday from Omaha, addressed to w. B. Ellis of this city, but no such person could be found.
 Howard was thinking of the message when he went to bed and he dreamed that it was for w. Bush Nelson, grain dealer. As soon as he reached the of. flee next morning he sent the telegram to Nelson, who read it and accepted il as coming for him. Nelson expected the telegram the afternoon before, but said the delay had not caused him any inconvenience. Had the telegram not been delivered it would have meant a loss of several thousand dollars for him
 The mistake in addressing the tel gram to "Ellis' instead of 'Nelson . was doubtless due to the confusion caused by the strike.-Lexington, Ky, dispatch to New York Herald.

SPIES IN ALL LANDS
Turkeys Sultan Receives Reports Daily
 From Secret Agents

Abdul Hamid, tyrant of Turkey, has
 his personal spies in every part of tho world, says Count Raymond de Mon. moroccis, a Belgian writer and tray eler, who has returned from a long so. journ in the Ottoman Empire. Every day he gets reports from some of them and it is his daily task to read them and no easy task it is at times.
 "Those who know Abdul Hamid as ] did as a young man., said the count, "would have great difficulty in recog- nizing him today, so marked has been the alteration in his appearance of late years. Below medium height and pitt fully thin, he hardly seems to have a breath of life in his body. The change in the lower part of his face is most noticeable; his widened jaws, added to the hollowness of his cheeks, giving him a most brutal appearance. Especially apparent is the cruel curve of his mouth, hardly visible when Abdul Ham. i'd was in the prime of life.
 Notwithstanding his physical con dition he follows the daily routine to which he has accustomed himself since his accession to the throne. He is al ways out of bed by a. m and after his bath, followed by light break. fast, he begins his daily labor, which consists aalmost entirely in studying the reports from his spies. After luncheon he receives his secretaries and cham berlains. His secretaries are over burdened with work; not with current affairs of state, but with matters per taining to the Sultan's personal safety They are in constant communication with the Turkish spies abroad and re- ceive daily dispatches from those in Paris, London, Geneva and Cairo.
 "As rule the sultan remains clos cted with his secretaries for two hours in the afternoon, and then takes a walk to the .Yildiz Kiosk (his palace park) accompanied by three bodyguards At 6 o'clock the sultan dimes alone, and afterward begins anew the perusal of his secret reports, and keeps at it until bedtime.
 'Sueh, under ordinary circumstances, is Abdul Hamid's s everyday life, but a radical change takes place when he gets alarming news, whether it relates to direct plot to kill him or to the revo- lutionary campaign of the young Turk ish party. No walk in the park then, no visit to the harem, no more siestas! At such times Abdul Hamid often goes forty-eight hours without closing his eyes, absorbed in devising measures to thwart his enemies.-Chicago Record Herald

Uniuuo Races.

zone of the most unique races on record is now being arranged for by the officials of the Kentucky State Fair which is to be held at Lexington, " said II. l.. Perrin of Louisville, at the Hotel Pfstcf.
 "It will be a raace between a horse and an airship. This may seem to be an impossible propisition, but the man. agers give every assurance that the novel feature will prove to be a success It will be a race of mile heats, best two in three. The contest will be over the regular track, and the trottcr which has been matched is one of the best horses in training there.
 "The airship people maintain that the machine will have no difficulty in following the course unless there is q strong wind, and are willing to take all bets that they will beat the horse even if an accident or unexpected gust of wind should cause the ship to lose heat.-Milwaukee Sentinel.

Origin of .'He's a Brick

The expression "He's a brick" is traced back to Lycurgus, King of Syria
 The king was conducting an ambassa. dor from Epirus through his kingdom
 The envoy was much amazed to find that the cities were very poorly sup piled with walls of defense. He re- marked to the king: "Sire, have now visited most of the towns, but found no walls built for their defense. Why is this?" "Indeed," replied the king, !" thou canst not have looked carefully. Come with me tomorrow and I will show you the walls of Sparta" Ac- cordingly on the following morning the king had his army drawn up in battle array, and pointing proudly to the ser ried host, said: "There thou behold est the walls of Sparta, and every man brick.

killed during the war with Spain.
Bagley fell doing his duty on the
Winslow at Cardenas, and the
monument is only fitting trib-
ute to a gallant and loyal young
officer. But at the same time
there are some of the men in that
war who were not killed and
whose services though just as
conspicuous have never been rec
ognized. For instance, there was
a marine, just a common enlisted
man, and probably everyone has
forgotten even his name by this
time, who stood on a ridge at the
battle of Cusco Mountain and
wig-wagged to the American
fleet to stop firing when they
were tossing shells inland into
the ranks of the Americans un.
der the impression that they were
shelling the Spaniards. He had
to get up from under cover and
was a target for three hundred
Spanish rifles all the while he
was signaling. Why they did
not kill him nobody could ever
understand. But they did not and
he returned to the ranks with the
satisfaction of duty well per-
formed-and nothing else. 1t
does seem as though even at this
late day he might be looked up
and something done for him.
Honor to the dead is fitting and
proper, but it would be a lot of
satisfaction to the living some
times to get a little of what is
due them.

The report that Secretary Cor
telyOu is a secret enemy of Sec
retary Taft's presidential aspir-
ations is wide of the mark. The
Secretary of the Treasury is en-
tirely too shrewd a man for that
and while it is probable that he
has ultimate hopes of the presi-
dency, he does not even think of
the nomination at the coming
convention. He is a close friend
of President Roosevelt and such
a thing as undermining Judge
Taft would be treachery to his
chief which he would not commit
for polite, if not for ethical, rea-
sons. Secretary COrtelyOu is a
young man and has lots of time
ahead of him for presidential as
pirations, and if he eventually a.
chieves them, which is not at all
unlikely, it will be a pretty in
spring example for American
boys. The rise from a depart
ment stenographer to president
is certainly about as great as
that from the log cabin to the
White House..

1t will be a satisfaction to ev-
eryOne to have it from the lips
of Secretary Wilson himself that
the meat inspection business is
on sound basis and that the
public is getting all it had any
reason to hope from the govern
ment supervision of the packing
houses. The Secretary of Agri-
culture has just been on a tour
of the west and rounded up all
the chief meat inspectors for a
talk in Chicago. He reports that
the inspection work is going for
ward satisfactorily, that there
have been a number of modern
and sanitary packing houses
built since the law went into ef-
feet less than a year ago. More
than that there is about So, 5OO,.
900 being invested in other new
houses, cement built and a credit
to the business. To be sure, the
improvement is no fault of the
packers. They never would have
come to it but for the proddine
of the Administration through
the press. The public has had
to pay for the improvements in
the enhanced cost of meat, but
at least we are now getting what
we pay for and American meat
products are ranked as first class
all over the world. That prob.
ably is worth the price.

Sir Chentung Liang Cheng is
about to return to China from his
post as Minister to Washington.
He has been an affable and able
diplomat during his sojourn in
this country, though not so much
in the public eye as his predeces-
sor, WI Ting Fang. But he will go
back to the Chinese Empire with
full honors and be given a seat
on the Council of State, and the
chances are that his return will
be marked by some fresh anti
foreign outbreak such as marked
the return of the versatile Mr..
WI. We are perhaps in the habit
of measuring the Chinaman too
much by the Chinese laundry
man. China is by scores of CEN
turies an older civilization than
ours. True, she has been asleep
for centuries, but she is waking
up. She has been waking up for
about fifty years and one of the
first facts that she has grasped
is that she has not been treated
as a great power by the west
tern barbarians", that is US, who
have broken in on her slumber
and insisted on doing business
with her. She has sent some of
her brightest and brainiest men
abroad and finding that the weak
spot of the Occidental was his
pocket, she has insisted on better
treatment from the west and
backed her claims by choking off
so far as possible western trade.
WI Ting Fang was pleasant and
observant while here and when
he went home Immediately in
stituted the great Chinese boy
colt. Now that Sir Chentung is
going, having absorbed all he
could of western ideas and meth
DDS, the chances are he will have
some new method of making it
warm for the westerner in the
Far east. 1t will be interesting
to note what course his activities
take, for that there will be some
thing fresh doing on his return
home is almost a foregone con-
clusion.
