CHOICE OF TWO EVILS.
Request That Was by No Means q
Compliment for Papa.

A New York scientist, the father OF
a large and growing family, has his
troubles. One evening his youngest
was holding forth in her best style.
The mother could do nothing with the
child, so the man of science went to
the rescue.
81 think I can quiet little Flora" he
said. There's no use humming to her
In that silly way. What she wants is
real music The fact that | used to
sing in the Glee club at Yale and sang
well, too, may make a difference"
Accordingly, the professor took the
child and, striding up and down the
room, sang in his best manner. He
had not finished the second verse OF
his song, when a ring was heard. The
door was opened, and there stood a
girl of IA, who said:
I'm one Of the family that's just
moved into the fiat next to yours.
There's a sick person with us, and he
says, if it's all the same to you, would
you mind letting tie baby cry instead
of singing to it?"-Success.

Registration Is Heavy.

The registration of voters for the
State primaries in August is phenom-
enally heavy, especially in the rural
precincts, and the prediction is freely
made that from 12O, 900 to lbs, 500 votes
will be polled. Heretofore the highest
estimate of the probable vote in the
first primary has been 1l5, 900, but in
many counties the registration has in
creased more than 20 per cent, which
may be taken to mean that the voters
are manifesting a very lively interest
in the election, especially the senate
rial and gubernatorial contests.

DONATING HOGS

COLUMBUS, IND, Dec. 20.-(Spe-

letters in which the writer's each Of
fered to donate a hog towards WHIP
ing out debt that is now hanging
over the Baptist church of Hope.
A few days ago Colonel Vinnedge
mailed letters to persons throughout
the United States asking each to
donate a hog for this purpose. The
plan is to have the hogs shipped to
Hope, where they will be sold at
public auction by Vinnedge free of
charge and a half of the proceeds of
the sale will be applied to wiping out
the church debt and the other half
will be distributed to the persons who
donated the hogs, each receiving half
of the price obtained for his indivi-
dual hog.
Among the hogs already donated is
one from Mayor Tom Johnson, Of
Cleveland, Ohio.
1t is expected that 1000 hogs will
be donated by the day of the sale,
which is the latter part of the

WOMEN GAN KEEP

Radium Offers Ground for

BALTIMORE, MD, Dec. 20.-(Spe-
ciaD is possible that the women
of the future may by an application
of radium in proper quaint ties retain
the youth and freshness for which
she has been admired in her early
teens when she is approaching the
ripe age of 100," declared Dr. William
R. Brooks, director of Smith Obser-
vatory, New York, in a lecture at
the Peabody Institute.
Perhaps by use of this wonderful
radium we may have the magical
elixir of life which seekers from time
immemorial have sought to obtain,
and it is possible that by its use all
of the baser metals may be turned
into gold.
'Radium has also been used with
success for many and varied things.
1t has been in use in cases of can
Ger and tuberculosis, and it is a
well-known fact that wells and
springs in which radium is known
to be present in the smallest guam
titles are of medicinal value BY
the spectroscope we have been able
to tell that radium is not only native
to this earth, but to other worlds, and
perhaps the elixir of life is one of it's
properties"

PUZZLIN6 TRICKS
DONE BY MATZ0NI
Escape After Being Nailed
in Box the Best.

At the opera house last night Mat
zoni, the Jail breaker and handcuff
king, performed his advertised feat
of escaping from a common dry goods
box after being nailed up in it and
the box tied with ropes as a further
precaution. The box was later found
tied and nailed exactly as it was left
by the committee.
This was the great feat of the ev-
ening, and one which appeared totally
ineXplicable to the audience The
committee which fastened the IA
nous magician in the box was taken
from the audience and the mailing
and roping done in the presence of
the crowd The curtain was pulled
down and in little while Matzoni
emerged smilingly from the cabinet
His release from the box was done
alone. The box was obtained from
a local merchant and was on public
exhibition during the day.
Besides this, he did the trunk trick
in which he was tied and locked in
a trunk, which was bound with ropes.
He son was able to geet the audience
freed from all impediments. He also
gave the strait jacket trick, which
was the same as performed success
fully on his former trip. He was
assisted in the entertainment by his
wife.
The matinee was poorly attended
on account Of the inclement weather,
but a program was carried our rath-
er than disappoint those who had
come. Just before the matinee
trained dog made a dive from a ladder
into a net, in front of the theater,
which attracted a large crowd even
though the rain had begun to fall.

OPPOSITION TO A
PARCELS POST
Activity in Georgia Cities
5-,--2s-ss = sie3a1.4S
go Against it.

While no action has been taken by
the local Board of Trade on the Ques-
ton Of parcels post, the matter
is being agitated among merchants
in other Georgia towns, where the
sentiment is generally against the
passage of such law
1t is claimed by the opponents OF
the parcels post-which by the way
is a pet of Postmaster General Mey-
er-that it will work a hardship on
local merchants, and will give little
if any actual advantage to residents
along rural routes. 1t is reported that
Speaker Cannon has expressed him
self as unfavorable to the passage OF
such a law at the present session.
The reason for his objection no
doubt is that the Republicans don't
want too load up with any surplus
measures for which they may be
criticised during the Presidential
campaign.
In speaking of the work being done
against the proposed law in Column
bus, the Ledger says:
when asked about the matter this
morning, President Loewenherz, OF
the Board of Trade, stated that the
Georgia association of merchants had
sent an agent here several months
ago to bring the matter before the
board but no positive action had been
taken and he did not know what
the body would do.
Speaking for himself he was OPP
posed to the law because it would
only help what is known as the cat
alogue stores, and would put the gov
eminent on the same footing as a.
common carrier and come in compe-
tition with the express and railroad
companies. He did not believe it
would benefit the mass of the peo-
pie, but would be a great thing for
the big houses in the north and west
which send out catalogues every
year.
