MO STIRRED
DECORATION

The most priced decoration in Aus
tria corresponds to the British Vic
toria Cross, and its value arises from
the rigorous conditions for obtaining
it and the fidelity with which they
have been observed 1t is known as
the Maria Theresa Cross, and few
days ago there occurred the 150th an
niversary of it's foundation. Since
that time there have been only S33
recipients. 1T shall be an inviolable
rule" says tie foundation statute,
that no person, whoever he may be,
shall be admitted to the order for any
other consideration than long service
or wounds received before the enemy,
and not for any reasons of birth, favor
or influence" 1--WE ourselves join
hands on this subject" adds the en-
press founder The recipients of the
cross are ennobled ipso facto.

LAID TWO EGGS
A DAY

Every day she laid two eggs and
Sunday she laid three" I'VE will
have to wait and see if the Sunday
part of it comes true. Mr.. Nelse Cher
ry tells a wonderful egg story. We
will not be wholly responsible for the
story, but we believe Mr.. Cherry is a
truthful man and will accept the fol-
lowing story as true one: Some
five days since, so says Cherry, one
of his Brown Leghorn pullets, which
was Matched in January last went on
the nest to lay just as he was going
into breakfast. After breakfast Mr.
Cherry stopped by the nest on his way
to the ice factory and saw that the
pullet had laid, and he said that he
thought at the time that it was aw-
fully early for hen to be laying, as
he is in the habit of breakfasting
about six o'clock. Late the same af-
ternoon when he was in his chicken
yard he noticed this same pullet
dropping around, and he thought she
was sick, and caught her and put her
in coop SO that he could watch her.
Mr., Cherry states that about fifteen
minutes after putting her in the coop
he went back to the coop and found
that she<had laid another egg. A per-
fectly formed egg, but the shell was
not as hard as the usual shell, but was
not the thin skin covering that Is
usually called the soft shell egg. Mr.
Cherry says that if there are any who
doubt the story that if they will come
to the factroy he will produce the!
eggs, as they are in cold storage, and
also produce the hen and sufficient
evidence by competent witnesses that
will bear him out in the statement.
Who can beat this wholesale egg

ALLEN EMMETT
JUMPS OFF TRAIN
THROWS HIMSELF FEET FORE
MOST FROM THE WINDOW
OF A DAY COACH NEAR
HOUSTON.

HOUSTON, Texas. Aug. 14.-At
O'Clock this morning Allen Emmett, p
years of age, whose home is near Pu
laski, Tenn, threw himself feet first
from the window of a day coach on a
westbound Texas & New Orleans pas
senger train, while the train was run
ming at the rate of fifty-hve miles an
hour.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Hayes, also of
Pulaski, were with young Emmett,
who was travelling through Texas
seeking a place in which to locate.
When the accident occurred the little
party were on their way from New
Orleans to Houston. Emmett and
Hayes occupied seats together and
both were asleep until aroused by the
rain coming in the open window.
Hayes got up to shut down the win
dow While he was in the act OF do
ing so Emmett exclaimed: Great
God, man, don't you know that you
will throw yourself out or ONT"
Immediately after making that re-
mark he arose from his seat and
walked into the negro compartment OF
the coach. At that time the train was
about twelve miles East of Houston.
Before the eyes of three negro women,
Emmett pushed pane OF glass from
one of the car windows and, putting
his feet through the hole, showed him
self from the car.
The train crew were not informed of
the act until the train had reached
the Houston city limits It was then
too late to go back for him. The train
came in to the depot and then an
engine and coach were sent out to
look for the man.
In an unconscious condition, with
both arms broken, he was found near
Hanna about 1870 o'clock. He re-
ceived a great many bruises, and up
on reaching Houston was taken to an
infirmary.
Mr. Hayes believes that Emmett
was under the influence of night
mare when he jumped from the train, |
for he says he knows of no motive for
the act.
Mr.. Emmetts family lives eight !
miles from Pulaski, Tenn. His father,
mother, sister and two brothers live in
Tennessee. The father and one of
the brothers are successful and we'll /
known physicians in that section OF
Tennessee American.

OBSERVATORY
IN DESERT

In the great desert of Atacama, in
Chilli, Prof. David Todd, of Amherst
College, and his wife, Mabel Loomis
Todd, are now studying the canals on
the planet Mars with powerful
eighteen-inch telescope endeayoring to
find out if the planet is inhabited, says
the New York World. A letter has
just been received here from Mrs.
Todd giving some account of their To-
cation and undertaking. The desert
of Atacama was chosen as the first
station of the expedition on account of
the dryness of the air. The region
lies on a plateau, 1900 feet above the
racific The snow-clad Andes tower
to the east.
Prof. Todd's temporary observatory
is days journey from Iquique. He
is now making arrangements to take
a series of photographs of Mars with
telescope lines. The pictures are
then to be greatly magnlned.
The scientific world has been eager
~ conjecturing for years whether that
far-off globe is inhabited, and 1t is
Hoped that the investigations of the
Amhest astronomer may throw some
definite light on the interesting ques-
ton. Mars Is now nearer the earth
than at any time in the last fifteen
wears, estimated at 35,05O0O0 miles.
Mrs. Todd, a dainty, slender, pretty
little woman, always noted for her
chic gowns, is herself a trained as
tronomer. She is making studies in
the ancient civilization of the Incas
and the present condition Of Chill and
Peru.

PAINTING BIG LINERS
London Tit-Bits.)

Under ordinary circumstances the
ships of the largest and most carefully
managed lines are painted at the enc
of every voyage. Every time Gun
arder, for instance, arrives in port she
is repainted. This is no light task
for every inch of the vessels outside
area above the water line-sides, deck
works and funnels-from stem to
stern is carefully gone over by an
army of painters. The area thus Gov
cred is about two and one-halt acres
Curious enough, the tunnels are re-
garded as the most important item OF
the whole undertaking, as these great
mines are susceptible to injury and
must be carefully handled On no
account is any hammering or pounding
allowed. and the men work from stag
ings suspended from rail on top OF
the mouth of the huge funnel me
old paint and dirt are carefully
scraped and scaled Off before the ac-
tual painting begins.
There are now 100 large passenger
ships constantly crossing the Atlantic.
Assuming that the average area OF
each ship is two and one-half acres,
and that each vessel is painted, say,
ron times In one season, we have an
area to be covered with paint of
2, 200 acres every year. Such a job,
recurring the services of nearly 100
men working steadily, would cost
e5O,OOO ($25O,OOO) Although this
seems an immense sum to spend upon
paint alone, 1t is essential to keep the
vessels in spick and span condition.

MEN FIGHT OVER
SIZE OF FEET
FAT CINCINNATI CAPITALISTS
FUNNEL ONE ANOTHER FAST
AS WIND WILL PERMIT.

CINCINNATI. Aug. 1.-two big 70
tund capitalists pummeling each other
as fast as their wind would permit,
while giving vent to pointed referen-
ces regarding extending Wristbands
and ponderous feet. was a spectacle
that afforded rare amusement to the
passengers on a crowded Clifton street
car this afternoon The slapstick ar
lists who put on the impromptu turn
were Jacob Baum, the head of the j.
Baum Safe & Lock Company, and c.
C. Breuer. a capitalist who resides IN
Clifton not far from the Baum home.
! On leaving the car Baum stumbled
over Breuer's feet and with much diff
fculty recovered his balance. He
angrily exclaimed:
why don't you keep your big feet
out of the road?"
In expressive language Breuer re-
torted that Baum would not have so
much trouble getting out of the car
if his abdomen was not so large. Com
parative ordinations regarding mid
riff dimensions and pedals were fol-
lowed by an appeal to large, chubby
fists. At this stage of the mix-up
Breuer Jared much worse, for he be-
came wedged between seats and could
do little but shield his face and head
with his arms and thus ward off the
blows showered upon him until he got
short of breath.
The safe manufactures left the car
to catch his second wind, while
Breuer was led to a drug store to have
his bruises anointed and several cuts
plastered up.

Get TAYLOR BACK
into KENTUCKY
EFFORTS WILL EXTEND TO GOV
ERNoR PROMISING HIM
IMMUNITY.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 16.-J. c.
w. Beckhan has been appealed to by
Commemorative Attorney R. B.
Franklin to lend his official aid in Sc
curing the return of W. S. Taylor to
Kentucky to testify in the next trial
Of Caleb Powers for alleged completely
in the murder of William Goebel. and
the Chief Executive will also guaran-
tee immunity from arrest if the for
mer Governor will return.
The offer will be made by Gov
Beckham with the proviso that Taylor
submit to a rigid cross-examination on
the part of the prosecution, as it is
the belief of Franklin that he will be
able to establish one of two things,
maybe both If he succeeds in question
ing Taylor on the witness stand. One
is the correctness Of the contention of
the commonwealth with reference to
the conspiracy which resulted in the
death of Goebel, and the other Tay-
lor's own unworthfness of belief.
Caleb Powers said tonight in dis
cussing the question that he did not
believe Gov. Beckham had the power
to grant Taylor protection from arrest,
but that in making the offer # should
be stipulated that if the promise of
immunity was violated and Taylor ar
rested he would be granted a pardon
by the Governor.

KINGLEOPOLD'S SUIT
buffalo Express.l

King Leopold, of Belgium, is the on
ly ruler of modern times who has ap,
pealed to the courts of a foreign
Power for redress because of alleged
libelous publications regarding him.
A leading paper Of Hamburg, few
years ago, published some very scan
dalous charges against the Belgian
King. Leopold instituted proceedings
against the editor in the German
courts. He secured judgment In his
favor and the editor was fined and
imprisoned but the difficulties and
complications were so great that no
other monarch is likely soon to under
take a similar venture.
For a parallel to Leopold's suit 1t
is necessary to go back to 1903, when
a London journalist was sent to prison
for libeling the First Napoleon. A
few years earlier, in 1893, another
London editor was sent to prison and
fined $4,000 for libeling the Emperor
Paul Of Russia
