The Judae sinnad roo.

Writ Gerrarc. in his volume on
Greater Russia" says that in the
cars country one may not call an.
other fool. There is a Scrlptural in
junction against that, and 1t is conse-
quently legal offense too. Not lon;
ago "vint" player called bis partner
a fool for needlessly trumping their
trick. The offended man brought his
accuser before the court. The culprlt

the Judge was passionate follower of
the national game. explained the mat.

Toad superstitions..


Superstitions as to toads having been
early incuicated, It has been exceed.
ingly difficult to get rid OF them. One
remnant Of this ancient credullty still
exists. It is in regard to the absolute
lmperishable character Of the toad.
There are well educated Americans
who believe that a toad hops out alive
from a slab Of stone though he has
been Imprisoned there for several mil.
lions OF years. We give in brief DR..
Buckland's experiments with toads In
1925. He took twelve toads and had
the toads put in twelve cells cut in
sandstone. aud over these he put plates
Of glass. They were buried in gar
den for over year. When exhumei
they were all dead. Then some were
put in porous sandstone. and at the
end Of year few were found great
y emaelated." When buried for an.
other year. they all died. Toads were
inciosed In wood. and they all died.
The conclusion is that, deprived OF at.
mosphere or without food, toads must
die. II toad as a tadpole could have
entered a creyice in rock. 1t NIGH,
have grown, but would have died in
time for want of air and food. This
toad nonsense is so lneradlcable that II
is supposable It never can be dissl,
pated.

The Berry He Was.

When Bishop Berry of the Methodist
Episcopal church was a young preach
er he once gave lecture in rural
community. Wishing to be witty, he
announced to his audience that he was
a berry and called upon them to state
what kind Of berry. Nearly every ber-
ry known in the vicinity was guessed,
aud the speaker refused to share the
qualities of any of those named. at
last an old lady who was not sympa
thetic with the seeming levity of the
lecturer, arose and exclaimed IN a
squeaky voice: Il know what kind Of
a berry you are. You are a goosebery
and very green one at that. Go on
with the lecture" And the lecturer did
qulckly.-Christian Work.

FAMOUS ATHLETE
lRv "a S. KELTnN \

NORFOLK, Va, Feb. 2O-Word
has recently been received at the
athletic bureau of the jamestown
Ter-Centennial Exposition, to be held
on the shores of Hampton Roads,
near Norfolk, from April 26 to Nov.
80, that Archie Hahn, the famous
little sprinter OF the Milwaukee Ath-
letic Club, will compete in the Anna
teur Athletic Unions championship
meet In the exposition stadium in
September, in the endeavor to add
fresh laurels to his already long list
Hahn has had a sigularly successful
career on the cinder path, coming in
to prominence some years ago as a
member of the University of Michi-
gan track team, where he captured
several Western and other champion
ships.
In the national A. A. U. champion
ships of 1903, held In Milwaukee, he
carried of the honors in the 100-yd,
and 220-yd. dashes and the next
year at the St. Louis games he added
the so, 100 and 200 meter races,
making the first in seconds. In
March, 1905, he ran the 75-yd. dash
in world record time, 3-5 seconds,
and in August of the same year at
the Portland Exposition he added
other victories to his string.
His last and greatest triumph was
his victory over the worlds greatest
sprinters at Athens last spring at the
Olympic games, in the 100 meter
championship race.
AT the last National Champion
ships, held in New York, Hahn com
peted, but owing to poor conditions,
was defeated. This changed his de-
termination to retire from athletics,
and he will be seen at his best dur
ing the athletic games at the James
town Exposition, which take place
in September.

Rossini's Watch.

In 1924 Charles X. presented Rossinl
the composer, with repeating watch
studded with diamonds, and playing
two of Rosstni's melodies. Nobody IN
Bologna could clean the watch, so 4.
was sent in the care of the tenor, Fa-
blanc. to Paris, where 1t was destroyed
in a fire. Plivee, the matchmaker,
thereupon made a second watch, the
exact counterpart of the first, except
that the diamonds were false, and Ros-
SIM, who never discovered this pious
fraud, wore the trlnket all his life. On
his death it passed to a relative. whose
son sold 1t to an Engllshman. 1t Is
said to contain an excellent portrait In
enamel Of Rossini as he was in 1924.

BEGUN in ASSEMBLY BY
WRIGHT.
Would Have State Representatives Con-
fer with President with View to
Giving Aid to Government.

TRENTON, July 6.-Assemblymnn Ed
ward H. Wright, jr, Of Essex, began an
attack on the National Coal Combine, late
yesterday. In the House the following reso-
luton, which he presented, was referred to
the judiciary committee by Speaker Edsa
Z. Lethbridge:
Whereas, the government of the United
States has lately exhibited in the Circuit
Court of the United States a certain suit
entitled, 1.-The United States of America
against the Reading Company and others, .
for the purpose of dissolution, under the
terms Of the Sherman antitrust law, of an
alleged criminal conspiracy between GER
tain Of the steam railways which traverse
the State OF New Jersey to monopolize the
trade in anthracite coal; and
Whereas, 1t is claimed In the bill of COM
plant in the aforesaid cause that one Of
the elements In the said conspiracy Is the
control, by the Reading Railroad system
Of the Central Railroad Company of New
Jersey; and
Whereas, the said control of the said
Central Railroad Company Of New Jersey
by the said Reading Railroad system, II
such control there be, is in defiance Of
the Injunction issued by the Curt of Chm
Gerry of New Jersey in the case Of John
T stockton ton hAtaoTney,Genefai 2 or R neS
Reading Railway Company and others, de-
PENDANTS; and
Whereas, it is also alleged in. the said bill
of complaint in the said federal suit in
Philadelphia, that other railroads. operat-
ing in the State Of New Jersey, are parties
to said criminal conspiracy; and
Whereas, the solution of the problems of
transportation and Industrial monoplies can
best be attained by the cooperation of the
government of the United States with the
governments of the several States: there
fore, be It
/. Resolved the Senate concurring). That
a Joint committee Of three members of tho
Senate and three members of the House
of Assembly shall be appointed by the
President Of the Senate and the Speaker
of the House of Assembly, for their re-
spectlve houses. to be a joint committee
of the Legislature, and that 1t shall be
the duty OF the said committee to confer
with the President of the United States
and such other Federal officials or depart
order to ascertain in What way the State
government of New Jersey can aid the
government of the United States In the
destruction and adjustment of the said
anthracite coal monopoly, and said COM
mlttee. as soon as practicable, and not
later than September 3. 1907. shall. in de-
tail. report the result OF such conferences
to the Senate and House OF Assembly II
in session at that time; II neither house be
to the Governor of New Jersey and cop
les thereof shall be furnished for publ
cation.
for the purposes of said committee.
3. This resolution shall take effect inn
mediately.
There was no debate on the floor, as Mr..
Wright had conferred with members of
the Peoples Lobby and with other MEM
bers of the House before introducing the
resolution.
