QUEER THINGS ABOUT sQUIREs

INK Russell, who trained out west
with Bill Squires when that great
man was preparing for Burns, tells
some queer things about the kanga-
roo demon.
This guy Squires," piped INK,
thought more of blocking his knees
than he did of his jaw. He had big,
long arms, you know, and kept them
way down low.
when he fought in close with a
fellow he tented with his long left,
pulled it way down by his knees, and
then let it fly. He had both of them
down like a fellow playing handball
all the time, and l thought to myself
he'll get his brain knocked out the
first time he gets near clever fell
low. Burns did it, and I'm surprised
that Squires lasted so long.
could he hit? Oh, sure. He
took the little guys like Thomas and
myself and tried to knock us out ev-
cry day. He hit Thomas on the jaw
and nearly broke it one day, and then
he asked me to box him. Gee, Whit
| never expected to fight, but he wal
Hoped me on the front teeth and /
thought he head fell off. If some one
would teach him how to block his
jaw me might amount to something
some day. because he is a husky
brute and slugger.'

WILL THE PROGRAM
CONTAIN RACING?

The different committees have
been hard at work preparing for a
big Labor day celebration in Ely, a
feature of which will be horse-racing
Suita BILE prizes are to be awarded to
the f1eetest runners ana harness
horses. 1t has been proposed to hold
these races on Aultman street, as has
been the custom at similar ceiebra-
tons in the past.
Now comes along Town Marshal
Hudgens with a flat-footed declara-
ton that there will be no horse rae
ing on Aultman street on Labor day
because of the difficulty in controll-
ing the crowds and on account of
the danger in holding such races on
a crowded thoroughfare.
Perhaps Marshal Hudgens has sub
stantial grounds for the stand he is
taking, perhaps not; but we will be
greatly disappointed if that feature
of the program is dispensed with. To
obliterate horse racing from the pro-
gram would be very grave mistake
and we trust that any obstacles in
that direction may be overcome.
If it is deemed inadvisable to hold
not possible to arrange for some
other course near at hand?
A definite decision on this point
should be arrived at Immediately.

a modification of the elementary
school courses, but it is a step in a
direction that public school education
seems bound to take.
What educators have before them,
as an urgent problem for the exercise
of their keenest faculties, is how to
give a child his elementary industrial
training along with his mental Guilt
walton, and not to spread the educa-
ton too thin in either case. 1t is
clear to all that the youth must be
fitted to grapple with real-life prob
lens in any case, and under no cir
cumstanees be made to feel that his
schooling is sort of detached-lever
arrangement which may or may not
vitality fit into his daily life and
work when school has passed into a
memory.

ICE PRESERVES DISEASE GERMS

Heat kills the germs of disease.
Cold does not.
The germ of typhoid may be frozen
in pond this winter You may
drink the melted ice from that pond
next winter or the winter after, and
die of the typhoid locked up in the
ice.
There are thousands of cases of
typhoid from the careless use of ice.
Children skating in the winter time
take a piece of ice from a stagnant
pond or lake and eat it, when they
would not dream of drinking the
dirty water in summer. Many have
an idea that ice is in some way a pu-
rifying, misunderstanding agent.
In nine houses out of ten, perhaps,
the dirtiest thing in the house is the
refrigerator.
Fish, meat, foods of all kinds are
put in these refrigerators. Disease
germs are introduced in them; they
are not cleaned often or thoroughly
enough.
DR.. j. White, in Good Housekeep-
ing, writes an article of excellent,
useful warning to housekeepers on
the care and the cleaning of the re-
frigerator. Every compartment in a
refrigerator should be cleaned thor
oughly at least twice a week. ''All
removable parts should be taken out
for greater ease in cleaning All
parts should be washed with good
soap and hot water, with cloth or
brush, then thoroughly scalded, a
caustic cleaning solution, or strong
solution of boraX and water.
In addition to this, the ice, when
it comes in, should be rinsed with
clean water.
Milk should be kept away from
other things as far as possible, in
glass pitchers or jars, well covered
up. The same is true of butter.
Milk taken into the system pure has
the marvellous faculty of taking out
disease germs with it; it is of great
value in Kidding the system of poison.
But milk, like butter, absorbs all i'm
purities very easily.
Watch your refrigerator; keep it
clean.
That advice isn't quite as high
sounding and impressive as advice
about the tariff. But it may save
your life or your children's lives
and a political editorial couldn't do
that.-N. Y. Journal.

of a canvass limited to the states of
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wiscon-

the first choice, provided President
Roosevelt is not nominated again.

TRAIN YOUTH FOR LIFE.
On. Y. Commercial. J

The conviction that it is all wrong
to compel the parent to send children
to school, and then, in the years
while virtual control over the pupil
is thus wrested from the parent, to
teach the child so little that fits him
for earning a livelihood, grows apace
among us. While no sensible person
questions the value of that elemen-
tary instruction which lays a basis
not only broad enough for higher
education but also broad enough for
intelligent citizenship, there is a
steadily-increasing number who in
sist that the training which goes to
fit one to earn his daily bread is not
necessarily a whit inferior, in it's
mental stimulus and value, to those
studies which deal with more alb
struse and purely academic matters.
The child of poverty must get the
industrial training; the ability to
earn ones keep" and to contribute
to the support of dependent kin is es-
sential to independence and stability
of character. When to the training
that confers this is added that proper
fruit of the schools-a taste for the
higher as against the lower, and a
comprehension of the real joys that
come to the intellectual only-then
we have a human achievement to be
proud of. Today our schools are
turning out too many boys, either
with ambitions that they cannot
achieve for lack of industrial train
ing, or without ambitions that must
make their lack of redeeming in
dustrial training factor in complet-
ing their pitiable plight.
New York and Chicago have long
discussed this subject, and some
practical progress is evidenced in the
newer features of their educational
curricula. The discussion has been
enlightening elsewhere, and we find
our Lake Superior neighbors at West
Duluth SO modifying their high
school course as to make it not mere
ly college-preparatory but, theoreti-
cally at least, practical-life prepara-
tory. OF course, this will necessitate

WAS WILLING TO VOW
VENGEANCE ON ALL THE SEX

Luther Burbank, the plant wizard,
once showed to the students of Stan
ford university an apple that was
sweet on one side and sour on the
other.
This apple shows u.s. Mr.. Bur-
bank said, ''how different treatments
will have different effects. 1t shows
how environment causes the most
radical changes.
He smiled.
LAS in apples, so in men, he said.
There used to live in Santa Rosa a
good, kind man, but unfortunately
he married shrewish wife, and the
woman changed his nature.
"One morning, after his wife had
called him a good-for-nothing loafer
and snatched his breakfast away, he
started off, hungry and sore for work.
"a sour-looking woman entered
the car he was on. She got into a
violent dispute with the conductor
over her change. Finally, red with
rage, she looked about her and said:
" is there a gentleman in this car
who will stand by and see a lady in
sulted?'
The hungry man, whose nature
had been spoiled, rose eagerly.
Yes, madam, he said, 1 will.

FRENCH ADVOCACY
OF RACE SUICIDE

One of the strangest agitations in
the history of France-or any other
nation-is now in progress in Nor
mandy and Brittany. 1t is an appeal
to the women of the nation to
strike against motherhood.
The agitation mas been three years
in coming to a head. A half-dozen
women started a league in the little
town of RoubaiX, in northern France,
and, year by year, it has grown until
now the membership runs into the
thousands, and the league is now
strong enough to make its pro-
nouncements public.
The propaganda is centered in the
towns of Lillite, Touching, and Nous
cron. The walls of these towns and
of the villages and hamlets near by
are covered with flaring sheets, pro-
claiming a general strike against in
creasing the population, and begging
women to refrain from motherhood.
Bands of women, apostles of the
movement, are also travelling through
the country, holding meetings for
men and women and distributing
pamphlets and leaflets.
The latter have extraordinary
wording. They are directed to the
working classes, as the league asserts
that the aristocracy are practically
all members of its organization, and
that the noblewomen and wealthy of
France are already pledged to sup
press maternity.
The placards and leaflets urge the
working classes, if they are bound to
have children, to limit the number,
since to bring into the world large
families is only the work of fools and
idiots and illiterate people.
The champion of large families,
Senator Plot, has started an opposi-
tion league. but he is not receiving
much support.
The names signed to the manifes-
tos of the Anti-Maternity League are
local ones, and not known to fame

SHAW SEES GREAT NEED
OF UNIVERSAL SANITY
Real Sources of Peoples Wealth Not
Yet Affected But Check Needed
On Present Speed.

Leslie M. Shaw, former secretary
of the treasury and now president of
the Carnegie Trust company, made
public his views yesterday on the
state of the country. He said:
Our farms produce more than
$4,000, 100000 per annum, and the
prospect is good for an average crop
Our mines yield more than 81 ,500,-
600, 900, and neither of these sources
of wealth has been exhausted. The
output of our factories, in other
than food products, is approximately
$12, 100000, and no fires have
been extinguished. The railways
earn more than $2,000,000 900, and
they are all in successful operation.
The payrolls of our factories and
railways aggregate approximately
$500, 100000, and the scale of
wages has not been reduced.
I'm other words, the real sources
of the peoples wealth have not yet
been affected, and the ability of in
dustrial concerns to pay dividends is
not measured by the market price of
their stocks. Logical reasons for
serious conditions are therefore
wanting. Psychological reasons are
never wanting.
"If | judge correctly, the people
will have exactly what they expect.
If those who have money in the
banks withdraw it and lock it up;
if the banks refuse to grant accom-
modations, and if the consuming pub
lie decline to place orders, then we
will very soon witness the effects.
LET those who think that times
of disaster follow each other at regu-
lar intervals bear in mind that this
country has never yet experienced
period of severe depression that was

WOULD BLOW UP THE TEXAS WITH
CHARGE Of new EXPL L0S|vE INVENTION

Washington, D. c., Feb. 5.-Enorts
have been made during the past few
weeks to induce the committee on naval
affairs to adopt new invention in the
way of explosive shells. Briefly the
invention might be described as an
aerial loaded with dynamite. The idea
is to send a charge of the highest
known explosive against the protected
side of an armored vessel and ex-
plode 1t on the outside. 1t is claimed
by the inventor that the explosion of
charge of dynamite against armor
plate, no matter how thick, would re-
suit in shattering the protective belt,

senator will be $500 a year, and at
the same time the members of the
