IATHUES CAUGHT AT NIGHT

Harrisburg, Pa, June 13.--A sensat- 1on was caused here today by the discov- cry that William l.. Mathues, of Della ware county, former state treasurer who figures in the new capitol scan dal. was detected looking over the books of the treasury department about Il o'clock last night with one of the clerks of that department and . political lieutenant of Mathues from one of the other departments. The dis- covery was made by Patrick McGrann. . clerk, McGrann said today that last evening he heard John Stott clerk in the auditors department say to George P. Young, clerk In the treas ury department. who was originally appointed by Mathues. that he "shouid be around tonight, for we are going to pull off job." Stott was a clerk in the treasury under Mathues.
 McGrann communicated what he had heard to fellow clerks in the treasury and they determined to watch the de- parfment At Il o'clock, McGrann says he quietly entered the main ofhce or the treasury department and, according to his story. he found Mathues pouring over the ledgers and other records with Young and c. D. Willis of Delaware county. a clerk in the internal affairs department and a political lieutenant of the former state treasurer. There was no one else in the room, except Benjamin P. Thompson, tho aged night Watchman.
 McGrann says the precipitation rolled from the face of Methues who had pres ence of mind enough to offer him (Mc- Grann) and his associates a cigar and shake hands with him. Mathues, Young and willis left the department soon af- ter.
 State Treasurer Berry was absent from the city and when Cashier Measly arrived at the department today he tm- mediately discharged Young.
 Mathues' version of his visit to the treasury Is corroborated by Young. who says that they were in the de- pertinent only fifteen minutes and were merely looking over some or his accounts. Scott emphatically repudi- ntes the statement that he was over heard by McGrann to say that some thing was to be pulled off"

 What To Do.
 There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, fulflls every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing 1t, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and .overcomes that unpleasant me- cessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most dis tressing cases Ifyou need medicine you should have the best.

How Dolls Are Made.

Many big things are needed to make

knead up into dingy paste old card

brawny fellows, these men, naked to
the waist, wearing leathern aprons.
In an adjoining room the paste is pour

fires. Always the great steel machines

Tim Aurst,s Baseball Troubles.

At the close Of that memorable sea
son when Tim Hurst managed the
Browns for Won der Abe he laid over In
Philadelphia Oh his way to his home
up the state, and while in the Quaker
City he told his daily experiences
while running the Mound City club. T.. r
"My Mondays" said Timothy, were
devoted to telling the st. Louis sporting
editors how I was going to win the
pennant the next year. Tuesdays I
would be kept busy denying to the club
owners that I had ever made any such
statements. Wednesdays 1:>would be
explaining to the newspapers why we
weren't winning games. Thursdays I
would be fighting with Chris to keep
him from flning the players all the
money they had coming to them. Fri
days would generally be busy all day
getting the terms Of pitchers that no
batter could hit"
"And Oh Saturdaysf"
"On Saturdays would spend the
day signing players that couldn't hit
any kind Of pitching."-Duluth Herald.

Presence of Mind.

Presence of mind is quality much
talked of, much honored and little cul-
Itivated. Yet, like most other good
things in the world, it requires cultiva-
ton to bring it to any degree Of per-
fection, for in very few cases is 1t
natural gift. Some people there are
doubtless to whom 1t comes naturally
and by instinct to do the right things
at the right time and place, but they
are few in number. Then, again, some
people are by nature cooler headed
than their neighbors and do not shout
or otherwise become useless just when
their services are required. But this
quiet composure, though very valuable,
lis not quite the same thing as presence
of mind. The latter consist not only in
having your wits ready for use, but in
knowing how to use them and being
sufficiently calm and steady In mind to
remember and turn to account that
knowledge From the earliest possi-
BILE age children should be taught self
control and the instinct Of trying to
remedy any mistake or accident they
may encounter.

Plain Words.

Freeman, the historian, it was said,
was apt to grow irritable over matters
OF intellectual difference. One day he
was at the Macmillans' when the con-
versation turned upon the subject of
Ireland. Mr.. Macmillan said that, for
his part, he was in favor of granting
autonomy.
Whereupon Freeman began to growl
at the use of Greek word.
"Why can't you speak English" de-
manded he, "and say home rule in
stead Of speaking Greek, which you
don't know?'
One OF the guests flushed with anger
and ventured to reprove Freeman, call
Ing his attention to the respect due
their host and at the same time paying
tribute to Mr. Macmillan's remarkable
abilities. But, although Freeman did
not apologize in so many words, he
smoothed the matter over by humor-
GUS repetition of his criticism. Later
some one mentioned gout "There you

Liohtntnu Flashes,

Lightning flashes in : a: storm are
found by an English observer to- be
much less irregular in period thar
they appear. Such storms have usually
two foci, sometimes three, from which
the flashes radiate, and the discharges
from each come at regular intervals:
The apparent irregularity is due to the
varying rates of the different ,centers:
In one storm noticed the two toci were
about mile and e.; half apart, and IN
an hour the northern center emitted
thirty flashes at intervals Of fifteen,
thirty, forty-fve, sixty and ninety. sec
onds, and the southern center gave
sixteen flashes at intervals Of seven
teen, thirty-four and fifty-one seconds,
Another unexplained observation Is
that just before each great. fash there
is momentary faint lighting up Of the
sky in the stormy region.

There is always wet paint on an ocean

a passenger on an ocean liner that does
