Infectious Sympathy.

Medical authorities and hospital boards here are wondering if there is not some mysterious but yet unfa- thomed infectious sympathy which produces appendicitis through over- contact with those suffering from the disease, says the Philadelphia Ledger. This state of mind is inspired by a remarkable series of attacks brought to light here.
 Dr. Frederick Zimmer, chief surgeon in the City hospital, spent one after Eoon operating on several critical cases, then went home to dine with his wife and daughter. Immediately after dinner Miss Stella Zimmer. a handsome girl Of about 16. suddenly became very i'll. Her father was amazed to find that she was suffering from appendicitis, and to verify his diagnosis called in two specialist col leges on the hospital board
 Miss Zimmer was taken at once to the hospital and operated on.
 The operation was performed about nine o'clock. Before the dawn had fairly broken Dr. Zimmer was urgent ly called back to attend one of the nurses who had assisted him at his daughters operation. While he was operating on that nurse he got word that he would have to hurry and per form similar operation on the ether nurse, also suddenly stricken.

he Two Cavises.

A number of years ago there were two men in the employ of the Santa Fe. who were named Davis. One was James A. Davis, who was then in charge of the railroads industrial de- partment. The other Davis was in charge of the railroads refrigerator line. James Davis was 6 hot air" artist whom the company always se- lected to jolly state legislatures.
 The other Davis was also a genial fellow, but owing to the fact that he had charge of the iced goods which went over the road and could not hold candle to James A. when it came to talking things out of people, he acquired the reputation of being somewhat chilly.
 One day the president pushed the office boys bell button and the young antocrat hastily put in an appearance.
 Boy said the president, tell Mir. Davis that l would like to see him right away"
 The boy started for the door, hesi- tated, thought moment, and then turning to the president he said:
 MT. Davis, sir?"
 Yes, Mir Davis.'

Monopolizes Petroleum Industry.

Washington, May.-That the hls. tory and present operation of the Standard Oil interest shows through out the past 8 years a substantial monCplization of the petroleum indus. try of the country, deliberate de struction of competition and conse' quent control of that industry by less than dozen men, who have reap. ed enormous profits therefrom, large ly through abuse of the transporta- tion facilities, is charged in report just submitted to President Roose- velt by Commissioner of Corporations Herbert Knox Smith. Part of the re- port has been made public, and much more will follow. Certain informa- tion acquired is withheld for the pres ent, in accordance with instructions of the president, who feels that their publication might interfere with the prosecution of the governments suit pending against the Standard Oil Com pany and it's subsidiary companies.

BOY HAD NOT UNDERSTOOD.
Pretty Phrase That Was Most Woo
 fully Misunderstood.

That the effect of a choice and ap- pppriate phrase is sometimes lost and ofttimes woefully misinterpreted is well illustrated in an incident con- nected with the death of a Virginia lawyer.
 During the mans illness the wires were disconnected which attached the bell to the old-fashicned pull knob on the front door.
 A messenger boy came to the house one morning and began pulling at the bell There was nc response. He continued to jerk the ancient knob vigorously A white-haired gentleman finally appeared, who raised his hand warningly and said:
 My boy, the silver cord has been severed
 "ls that so?" exploded the boy. From the way it acted l thought the whole darn thing was busted. IN. Y. Times

KISS BRINGS FIRE ENGINES.
Postman Embraced Girl, Who Upset
 Ladder Against Fire Box.

A simple little kiss, imprinted upon the lips of pretty typewriter in one of the downtown office buildings one day last. week, brought several fire engines and hook and ladder con- panieS racing to the scene of possible confiagration, hurried out the police reserves, blockaded Nassau street for half an hour and caused several thou sand persons to congregate, according to the New York Press.
 Tenants of the office building in question have noticed of late a firta- tlon between the handsome young let ter carrier who delivers the mail and the pretty typewriter. At the office in which she is employed the letter carrier devoted far more time to pick ing out correspondence for the firm than was absolutely necessary.
 The postman was swinging along the corridor the other day, his heart beating a trif1e more quickly than usual, as he neared the office where his sweetheart is employed. Just then the door opened and sine came Oul ut COulIe NdlhGQ dIOUS d lew steps together. chatting gayly. The corridor was deserted, and the gallant letter carrier decided to embrace the Opportunity and the girl at the same time. He succeeded in kissing her but the suddenness of the affair startled the girl and she broke away from his encircling arm. In so doing she upset a small ladder, which fell against the fire alarm box smashing the glass and pressing the electric button in full accordance with the printed rules.
 The girl fled to her office and the postman disappeared around a corner of the corridor, and began delivering mail with fendish rapidity When the firemen arrived they saw the broken alarm and the prostrate lad der and promptly summed up the situation as false alarm. They didn't know how the ladder happened to fall but blamed the usual skylark- ing boys. But the girl knows and the postman knows. So does one of the tenants, who opened the door of his office just in time to see the comedy But he isn't going to tell.

FIT THE GROCER
Wife Made the Suggestion.

A grocer has excellent opportunity to know the effects of special foods on his customers. A Cleveland grocer has long list Of customers that have been helped in health by leaving off coffee and using Postum Food Coffee.
 He says, regarding his own expe- rience: Two years ago I had been drinking coffee and must say that was almost wrecked in my nerves.
 Particularly in the morning l was so irritable and upset that l could hardly wait until the coffee was served, and then 1 had no appetite for breakfast and did not feel like attend ing to my store duties.
 "One day my wife suggested that inasmuch as I was selling so much Postum there must be some merit in 1t and suggested that we try it. l took home a package and she prepared 1t according to directions. The result was a very happy one. My nervous ness gradually disappeared and today l am all right. l would advise every one affected in any way with nervous ness or stomach troubles, to leave of coffee and use Pcstum Food Coffee. v There's a Reason Read, "The RCac to Wellville,' ip pksa.

According to the Yale Alumni Week ", the property Of the university in New Haven which is exempted from taxation. is appraised at $9,43i ,150, an increase of s255,000 over the apprais. ed tax exemptions of last year, though this increase does not necessarily rep resent actual additional values sub- tracted from the New Haven grand list. Of the total exemptions about $1370000 belongs to the Sheffield Sci entifie School The old campus, as land. is valued at $1033, 400, and the buildings on this campus at s2,4S3,500 The appraisals are high on many of the buildings, as compared to actual cost.

HIGH PRICES RULE
ALL REPORTS INDICATE A SHORT WHEAT CROP AND THE RE- SuLTlNG ADVANCE HAS
 BEGUN.

Chicago, May.-The last week with it's dollar wheat" has been a historic one in the annals of the ChicagS Board of Trade. While statistics Or. the quantity of wheat which changed hands are not obtainabe, the asser- tions of veteran traders that the vol ume of business was of unprecedented proportions, may be safely accepted. There have been wild sessions in the wheat pit before, notably when cor ners' were being run, when prices fuctuated more violently, when small ehques made or lost-mostly lost imposing fortunes, but never before has there been a broader or better sustained general market.
 Grain brokers did the largest busi- ness ever known. Hardly house in town has sufficient force of clerks in the pit to fill the orders which are pouring in from Maine to California. Nor are there enough wires to han de the mass of daily business. The inevitable therefore has hapDened, and only the larger orders have been fill ed. In the language of the pit it is no market fer a piker"
 Crop reports, private and pablic, the solemn verdicts of experts" statis- tics, official and unofficial, crop esti- mates, and the enticing literature of the commission houses who are grow ing rich on commissions alone, vary noticeably in detail, but they are prac- tically united in the statement that the world cannot grow this year all the wheat it needs.
 Minor items, such as green bug" damage and the like, have been made much of, but the weather here and abroad is the allinfluential factor. Even Liverpool importers, whc usual ly work for Cheap wheat in America, have bought directly in this ma rket, precautionary measure they were compelled to take in the face of the certainty that their action would 'bull' prices still further.
 They bought early at what would now be called bargain prices. The ma jority of traders proclaim loudly still higher prices, but take profits on good advances. Last week ended with the indicator pointing to the success of the bulls, with May wheat showing net gain of 3-4c; Juy of 5Sc;; September 3-4c, and December of } 1-2c

Dickson, Tenn, May.-The General
 Assembly of the Cumberland Presby- terian church held no business ses- sion Sunday, but the great interest
 manifested during the three days the assembly has been in session has spread all over the state, and the re- suit was the greatest outpouring of people seen in this section within the last century.

NO KISSING IN CHURCH.
Ealician Peasants Punished for Un-
 timely Osculation.

Twenty Ruthenian peasants belong mg to Ispas, in GaIicia have been sen tRnced to various terms of imprison- ment, from Q week to month, fer kissing each other in church
 A feud has arisen between two par Ees in the town. and the priest preached a sermon in which he urged the peasants to make friends before they came to church again. They took hin at his word, and on the foi- Rowing Sunday the two hostile parties marched up the church side by side, and kissed the altar. Then they sol emnly shook hands and kissed one an other on both cheeks in the Polish fashion to seal the reconciliation.
 The kissing scene excited loud laughter among the members of the congregation, and the priest prescott ed the peasants for unseemly conduct fin church. The court held that a church is no place for kissing and fouao the peasants guilty.
