He Was Not to Blame.

Little Bartholomew's mother over
heard him swearing like a mule
driver, says the Cleveland Leader. He
displayed a fluency that overwhelmed
her. She took him to task, explaining
the wickedness of profanity as well
as its vulgarity. She asked him where
he had learned all those dreadful
words. Bartholomew announced that
Cavert, one of his playmates, had
taught him. Cavert's mother was
straightway informed and Cavert was
brought to book. He vigorously de-
MED having instructed Bartholomew,
and neither threats nor tears could
make his confess. At last he burst
out: Il didn't tell Bartholomew any
cuss words. Why should l know how
to cuss any better than he does?
Hasn't his father got an automobile,
too?"

In Praise of the Pie.

Laura Simmons tells in an article
why good New Englanders should
stick to pie, and calls attention to the
fact that Emerson ate it three times
day, and says that pie is the ladder
by which New England has climbed
to it's place of proud eminence. She
questions whether any sensible per-
son was ever known to forage at the
midnight hour for predigested cereals
or the innocuous prune. She does not
believe that many New Essiand ances-
tors died of apoplexy, due to pie, but
counsels all to go on pie-eating, despite
the fact that the fiat has gone forth
that it is vulgar 10 eat pie.

Cunning Chap.

Yes" confessed the blushing girl
with the white parasol. Il thought it
rather odd that Jack should keep on
asking about our college yell. Finally
to get rid of him, told him it was
three yells in quick succession"
What them" asked her chum.
What then? Why the goose kissed
me three times before 1 could re-
monstrate and when 1 gave a yell for
each kiss mamma thought l was CIV

WHAT'S THE usE2
To Pour In Coffee When It Acts as a
Vicious Enemy.

Fasters have gone without food for
many days at time but no one can go
without sleep. For a long time have
not been sleeping well, often lying
awake for two or three hours during
the night but now sleep sound every
night and wake up refreshed and Wig
orous," says Calf. woman.
"Do you know why? It's because |
used to drink coffee but finally cut 1t
out and began using Postum. Twice
since then l have drank coffee and
both times 1 passed a sleepless night,
and so l am doubly convinced coffee
caused the trouble and Postum re-
moved it.
my brother was in the habit of
drinking coffee three times day. He
was troubled with sour stomach and |
would often notice him getting soda
from the can to relieve the distress in
his stomach; lately hardly a day
passed without dose of soda for re-
lief.
Finally he tried a cup of Postum
and liked it so we'll he gave up coffee
and since then has been drinking
Postum in its place and says he has
not once been troubled with sour stom-
ach."
Even after this lady's experience
with coffee her brother did not suspect
for a time that coffee was causing his
sour stomach, but easily proved it.
Coffee is not suspected in thousands
of cases just like this but it's easily
proved. A ten days trial works won
ders. There's Reason"

Road to Wellville," in pkgs.

Sheer white goods, In fact, any mo
wash goods when new, owe much of
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau
ty. Home laundering would be equal
ly satisfactory if proper attention was
given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thickening
the goods. Try Defiance Starch and
you will be pleasantly surprised at the
improved appearance of your work.

Late AIready.

Five minutes after the tardy gong
had struck, the principal of the school
was walking through the lower hall
when he saw pudgy little fellow
scampering toward the first grade
room as fast as his fat legs could
carry him. See here, young man, l
want to talk to you," called the prin-
cipal to the late conner. 81 hain't got
time to talk to you; I'm late already"
replied the breathless beginner as the
door of his classroom closed-The

Fresh Fuel.

R The scrap between the married cou-
pie had died down to a few listless
mutterings, and the canary bird in the
cage was beginning to think about
singing again. when she remarked, an
sort of afterthought:
"At any rate, everybody in my fam
lily thinks am very intelligent"
Yes, by the side of them you are,"
he replied with bitter snort.
After this the scrap was renewed
jubilantly

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great
er strength than other makes.

A Country Marvel

The little fresh air boy was COM
fortably quartered in a farm house
near the salt water for his summers
outing. The first day he strolled down

in astonishment at the cat-tails grow

Three Fatally Hurt in Wreck.

Trinidad, Colo.-One of the worst
wrecks which the Santa Fe railroad
mas experienced in months occurred
near Earl, small station twenty
miles east of here, when passenger
train No. 8, eastbound, went into the
ditch. Seven coaches were derailed
and the track torn up for a distance
of some 400 feet. 1t is reported that
one brakeman was killed and a num-
Der OF passengers injured, three IA
tally. The latter two men and one
woman, were brought to the hospital
In this city, instead of the Santa Fe
hospital at La Junta, as it was impoc-
sible to get around the wreck.
The two men injured were in the
smoking car. which was the coach
bearing the brunt of the shock. and
they were jammed between two seats.
Ihe woman was riding in the chair
car and was thrown forward against
another seat, crushing her chest and
in1uring her internally. The three are
unconscious and unable to give their
names
Fifteen other passengers were more
or less injured, but were able to con-
tinue their journey.
Spreading rails are given as the
cause of the wreck.

The Big Beaver Dam.

Florence, Colo.-The Beaver Land
and Irrigation Company has decided
to build big dam of concrete and
steel across Beaver creek just below
the forks. so that it can be used for
impounding water for storage pur-
poses. The dam will be narrow, prob
ably not exceeding twenty feet
across. and can be built to a height
of several hundred feet il necessary.
1t will be constructed directly below
series of reservoirs constructed sew
eral years ago by the Woods Invest
ment Company, which was recently
sold to the Pueblo and Suburban Light
ing and Traction Company
This Is one of the most important
steps the company has yet underta-
ken in its big resrvoir and reclama.
ton service. There is an abundance
of water at all times. whether a drop
exists in the Arkansas valley or not.
The new dam will be provided with
spillways. SO that when it is neces.
sary to raise Beaver creek it can be
done with ease. The company's large
reservoirs will be filled from this dam.
The first reservoir to be built is
Wolcott constructed one several
years ago. This will be for the pur.
pose Of irrigating 500 acres of land in
the Brush Hollow district.
The company expects to irrigate be-
tween 10000 and 10000 acres of land
during the next few years. Sixteen
Thousand acres have already been
purchased, as well as two-thirds of the
water in Beaver creek.
The Beaver creek water has cost
the company approximately 100000.
The largest reservoir will be built on

France Fears Japs Are Solution of
Entente.

Paris.-While political considera-
lions of a high order contributed to
the negotiations of the new Franco
Japanese entente, there is no longer
any doubt that the substantial quid pro
quo given by France was the promise
of access to the French market for fu-
ture Japanese loans. Japan did not
need French guarantee for Korea
and Formosa. but Japanese guarantee
for Indo-China was worth great deal
to France. and she was willing to pay
the price demanded.
Japan, according to the confidential
statement made by some of her high
est representatives in Europe, will
need something like 5000 900 900
francs (S1,000,000 000) within the next
few years to refund her high loans at
lower rate of interest and furnish
capital for industrial and commercial
development planned in Manchuria.
While the money markets of the
world are at present unfavorable to fio-
tations, Japan has succeeded in insur.
ing the assent of the French govern
ment to the placing of her loans when
the opportunity arrives

Railroads Must Make Reports.

Washington.-The Interstate Com
.nerce Commission has promulgated a
uniform system of accounts for rail-
roads, provided for under the railroad
rate law passed at the last session of
Congress The system will go into eff
feet July 1st covering operating ex-
penses and thereafter railroads will
be compelled to file monthly reports.
The method adopted is intended to in
sure correct statement of net rev.
enues from operations, and is ex-
pected to result in keeping the cost
of improvements out of operating ex-
penses and therefore exclude them
from the cost of performing current
business. The expense of soliciting
traffic is separated from the expense
of hauling traffic. The construction
accounts are to be so drawn that cur
rent record of the physical value of
the railway property is always acces-
sible
The system was prepared by Henry
C. Adams, statistician for the commits
sion.
-Four of the accounts are issued un-
under the head of operating revenues,
operating expenses, expenditures for
road and equipment, and locomotive
car and train miles. Two of the clas-
sifications which bear upon operations
are issued in the form of circulars of
information, namely, betterments and
additions and outside operations.
All classifications have been worked
out with the assistance of railway ac-
counting officers. Every carrier has
been notified from time to time of the
progress of the work. and no question
has been decided without first request
ing of every carrier its views and
opinions. This has been done by a
series of circulars and thousands of
letters have been received in response.
Assistance has been rendered by COM
mittees representing the American
Railway Association, which is the
presidents and managers association
and the Freight Claim Association.
