BRIEE NOTES OF
GENERAL INTEREST

An operation was necessary to remove
bean from the ear of Jack Eberly, a
farm hand of Napper Marinette county,
Wis. The bean had sprouted, and the
operation was necessarily a delicate one.
Eberly and several companions were
throwing beans at each other, and one
lodged in the youths ear. By the time
he went to a doctor the bean had become
small sized plant. His hearing is not
impaired.
Cigarettes are tabooed at Warsaw,
Ind. and students in the high school
pended from their classes. The trouble
had its start in the loss of a football
game to rival institution, Prof. KEN
per reporting to the faculty that the
members of the eleven spent their time
on the train in smoking cigarettes, which
so weakened them that they could not
play their game.
Josephine Genlot and Hulda Stein
bach. 15-year-old Chicago girls aspired
to be bronco busters. Their aspirations
were cut short by the police of Ham
mond, Ind, who arrested them while
they were on their way to Texas. Their
ideas concerning ranch life are said to
have been cleaned from nickel theaters
girls figured as the heroines. The two,
accompanied by their parents, returned

Can a man be a Christian and still
earn living? was a question asked, but
not answered, at the Presbyterian
Brotherhood, in session at CINCINNATI, by
r. W.. D. Bryan of Albuquerque, N. M.
He said:
Il did not come here to listen to SER
mons from doctors of divinity, but to
find out, if l can, how a man may be
a Christian and at the same time earn
4 living.
Il do not see how a man can De a
Christian working for concerns which
practically force him to steal and lle'
Zibe Jones, wealthy farmer living
near Toledo, ILL.,, has been sued for $1,000
for alleged SANDER by his 6-month-old
grandson. The defendant must answer
for remarks tending to cast doubt upon
the parentage of the plaintiff.

mands an equal amount.
The child's name is Gerald Jones. lie
is a son OF Carton Jones.
The other day II. Roehring of the town
of Greenbush, Wis.,, brought to Plymouth
an animal which would be a curiosity
in any museum. 1t was a kitten with it's
head and other foreparts like those of a
cat and it's tail and hind legs like that
of a rabbit Its color is gray and white.
Mr.. Roehring has another animal just
like this except that it is black. He was
keeping them and hoped to raise them
both. but the one was killed by accident.
Another strange thing about them was
that either would sit up like a rabbit
when it wanted to look around, and
they would move about like rabbits.
Gustave A. Mueller, a cigar importer,
1874 North Halsted street, Chicago has

Unless the state of Nebraska pays
S415.7S into the treasury of Lancaster
county the executive mansion near the
statehouse may be disposed of at tax sale
and Gov. Sheldon deprived of his official
residence. The 1898 taxes were not paid
on the property when D. E. Thompson,
present ambassador to Mexico, sold it to
the state in 1899 for $3.50. The two
lots on which the mansion stands were
sold by the county treasurer in January,
1905. under the tax law. Treasurer Ber-
nv himself bought them in for the county
md issued certificate, which he now
holds. The first person who calls on the
treasurer and pays over the amount due
will be entitled to receive the tax GER
tifcate against the mansion.
King of Alfonso of Spain broke the
unwritten law of sporting England,
which ordains that while shooting or
playing golf a man must wear coat.
There was a pheasant drive at Sand
bingham, and the birds came with ex-
traordinary rapidity. The young King
presently found his work so warm that
he stripped off his coat and went on
shooting in his shirt sleeves.
King Edward. who was shooting
alongside Alfonso, laughed heartily
when he noticed the solecism into which
the Spanish monarch had been led by
his enthusiasm.
Recent published photographs have
shown Alfonso playing golf in his shirt
sleeves, but that was in Spain, When 1Se
other day he was in the regulation garb.
The average British golfer would die
of shock if he should see a king swing
ing his clubs in his shirt sleeves.
Katherine Vosbaugn, an eccentric
Frenchwoman of brilliant attachments,
died at Trinidad, Colo, at the age of 50,
after masquerading sixty years as a
man. The woman donned trousers when
girl and had a horror of skirts up to
he time of her death. She filled a
score of responsible positions, and her
