wisely remarks: "The colon bacillus
is usually ranked in the saprophytic
group of bacteria rather than placed
among the organisms distinctly patho-
genie for man; but we know that it il
far from being devoid of virulence,
and that it is capable under certain
conditions of gaining increased pow
ers of invading the organism and of
manifesting very definite pathogenic
effects"

Traces Of the Metal onss Found With:
in the City Limits.
st. Louis has never been kn6wti Dis d
gold mining center, but there was once
a gold mine within the limits Of the
city, and, what is more, it yielded gold,
which is more than great many gold
mines in the Rockies have done.
In the sixties Of the last century
there was well dug on a hill just
east Of Carondelet park, and the well
diggers, noticing some bright, spar
king yellow particles in the clay at
the bottom, did a little washing on
their own account and found several
grains Of gold in the pan. The news
soon got abroad, and two examiners
from the west who were living in the
neighborhood quickly got the idea that
there was money to be made in St.
Louis gold mining, so they sank shaft
not far from the well, fully expecting
rich returns from their work. They
did actually find gold, but in quaint
ties so small that they estimated
yield of about Is cents per ton Of clay,
so they filed up the hole and gave up
the undertaking In that place as bad
job.
But they had all the miners enthu-
siasm, and the fact that they found
gold at all merely stimulated their zeal
to try in another place, so they went
to the side Of a hill where the Glaize
creek had washed away the earth and
made clay precipice They dug a hole
there, where they also found traces Of
the precious metal, but in no greater
quantities than before. Then they went
up the creek about quarter of a mile
and sank another shaft, with no better
result. They spent the whole spring
and summer digging holes around in
the neighborhood Of the park, but the
only benefit they realized from their
work was the sobriquet 1.-TWO luna
tics," and people laughed at them so
much that both left and went back
west, where digging holes in the search
for gold was taken more seriously than

SComicaI Prank a Princeton Student
Played Upon a Tutor.
In Princeton Odd and New" by
James w. Alexander, is the following
story:
1.-THE mode of life was simpler in
those days than now, but the same hu-
NOR which still makes collegians so
comic effervesced in the old days:
When, for example, William Penning-
ton, son of former governor of New
jersey and himself afterward speaker
OF the national house of representa-
yves, roomed next door to Senior Tu-
tor Topping it was the custom for
each man to hang on the outside knob
OF his door the bag containing his soil
ed clothes for the laundry.
pennington stuffed his own skirts
one day in Tutor Topping's bag and
waited for the day when the clean lin
en- was returned and laid out on Top
pings bed. Then, knowing that two
OF the younger tutors We're in Top
pings room, Pennington knocked at
his door. On entering he put on an
embarrassed air, as if hesitating to
speak in the presence of the other tu-
tors. = =.
Topping in a lofty way said: These
gentlemen are my friends. I have no
secrets from them. Say what you
WISH Pennington still hemmed and
hawed, but, again urged to speak, blurt-
ed out: 1T is not my fault Mr.. Top
ping. I did not want to say anything
about it now, but as you insist must
ask you to please return the skirts
lent you, as am in need of Them
"Topping's rage and horror at being
thus addressed before the younger tu-
tors, who looked up to him as a Mag
nus Apollo, may we'll be imagined. He
began to upbraid Pennington, who in
terrupted him by saying: It's no use,
Mr.. Topping, trying to deny the fact.
see the shirts there on the bed with
your own thingsv The tutor stood
aghast but Pennington stepped to the
bed and picked out his own shirts,

The American Man.

El1nor Glyn, an English novel writer,
Is here studying American men. Be-
fore landing Mrs. Glyn delivered her
self Of an opinion on this subject
which Is not in the key to encourage
hope that she will make any discov-
cries. She said, ."Ah, the American
men, they are such dears!' That is
about the last expression which real
woman who knows real American men
would use. The style of man who can
be measured up as a "dear" can be
located here, but he is not home bred.
The American man who differs from
his European contemporary enough to
make the study Of him worth while for
any purpose is unique, and the best
thing about him is that he hasn't a
single quality worth gushing over. He
Is a hard and sometimes an uncouth
fact. Henry Ward Beecher knew
American men pretty we'll and used to
describe the type which compelled his
admiration as the versatile fellow,
who ''preached a little, peddled little,
taught school a little, farmed little"
landed IL H. the e. legislature, guided a
great reform or made commercial
discovery that founded cities and
made whole districts rich. The typical
American today is the hustling son Of
such a father. He doesn't "slosh
around" much, for he doesn't have to.
His heritage is knowledge which
comes without being learned, energy
that is resistless, hope that is bound
less. To create bigger and better
things is for him a whole existence.
The novelist who can survey the four
sides of that man in few months OBJ
servation does not live. One must
grow up with him, see him tripping as
well as striding, taking fortunes buff
lettings as we'll as her smiles. And
when all is done he is. like old Niagara
too big for the artists brush.

Like some American commonwealth,
France is agitated by the question Of
the abolition Of the death penalty, in
dicted in that country by means of the
guillotine. Premier Clemenceau is op-
posed to the execution of criminals,
and President Fallieres will not sign
death warrant If he can find any
justification for refusing to do So The
Immediate case attracting the atten-
ton of our sister republic is that of a
man found guilty Of an especially afro
cious murder. His sentence has been
committed to life imprisonment, and it
Is probable that the historic instru-
ment Of punishment will be allowed to
fall into disuse.

The Name, Bismarck.

Few people know how Bismarck and
bis ancestors got their name. Bis
marck is the name Of one of those
ancient castles a short distance from
Stendal, on the road from Cologne to
Berlin, in the center of the old mar
quisate Of Brandenburg. The castle
had this name because it defended the
"marca," or the line where the river
Biese formed a boundary in former
times or mark Of defense against in
truders; hence the name Of Bismarck.

Government ana Waterways.

S1OV0EAMoUIt suOs " HCeEyV6y9s896 sfft
4 variety Of causes, national and
commercial, have united to fasten pub
lie attention upon the need Of some
broad and systematic development Of
the inland waterways Of the country
for transportation Government own
ership of railroads seems to be a long
way off in the future, but the govern
ment ownership and control of water
ways Is present and permanent fact.
Perhaps if private initiative had had
full sway in the past upon all our riv-
ers and canals the same as on the rail-
roads the present relation Of the two
means of communication would have
been reversed. If the audacity, initia-
tive and organizing genius that have
been devoted to railroads had been
turned upon the development of in
land water transportation the wealth
of the country might have been greater
than it is and it's distribution more
even.
Much of the heavy freight traffic Of
Germany is handled by canals and
"canalized rivers" A considerable vol
ume of this class of business in this
country might be so carried, and the
present congestion on the railroads Is
an argument that it should be so car
RED. Before the coming of the rail-
roads the air was filled with the cry
for canals, and the promotion of in
ternal improvements, which included
water transportation, was fixed arti-
Gle in the creed Of intelligent public
men. When the railroads got to work
the demand for waterways was side
tracked. The roads got there first, and
speed was then the question Of the
hour. IL il !:
Some minds have eoreseen the pres.
ent situation. The late Senator Nor
gan predicted a ship canal from Chi
cago to the Mississippi and a deep
channel down that river to the gulf.
He dreamed of ship canal across
Florida to shorten the trip between
Atlantic and gulf ports and also Sc
rfes Of canals to connect lakes and
bays lying along the Atlantic coast
and provide ali inland water route
from NORTH Gatolina to Maine. The
spirit of public enterprise will no doubt
be able to make this dream a realiza-
ton without waiting for private initial
tive and capital to blaze the way. They
are matters for public action. The
public controls the watersheds, which
are the life of the rivers and the ca
nails. Our inland waterways, both the
natural and the artificial, can be made
to play a most important part in the
future prosperity Of the land. We
have tried the railroads under private
mana cement, and we know about what
to expect Of OUR waterways. Their
thorough development as public insti-
tutions can but prove beneficial Per
haps the turbine engine or something
better will give an approach to rail-
road speed for passenger boats, but
the main utility of deep waterways
will be to handle ore, grain, coal and
btrlky and heavy manufactures.
If the country continues to enjoy the
remarkable prosperity that has blessed
it for a decade it is extremely proba-
BILE that the people will not only ac-
quiesce in large expenditures of public
money on internal improvements, but
will put such pressure upon congress
that it cannot resist making such ap-
preparations.

on the point of forcing an entrance
into the room when the song ceased
and mans voice struck up rollick-
Ing air, TO be followed in a few mo-
ments by third mans voice singing
a familiar chorus. Kneissel paused.
The husband evidently had returned
unexpectedly and had brought with
him friend. He was not prepared to
attack the house against two men, so
he beat a hasty retreat, little thinking
that the voice he had heard proceeded
from the lips Of the young wife, fine
singer, who was an adept at mimicry.
Some years ago a released convict
went to the house Of the Indiana judge
who had sentenced him to prison with
the intention Of shooting him. AS
he crept nearer to the window beside
which the judge was sitting and raised
his revolver to fire the sweet voice Of
the judges wife foated out on the
summer air from the bedroom, where
she was singing her baby to sleep, all
unconscious of her husbands peril
The lullaby she sang was one that the
convict's mother used to Groom to him,
and, throwing aside his revolver, he
walked boldly into the house and con-
fessed to the Judge his intention. The
Judge befriended him, and he is today
