 to Washington.

St. Petersburg. April 24.-Upon the inl- tiatlve of Ethelbert Watts, the American consul general, a number of industrial representatives and members of the con- sular corps held a meeting here tonight to consider the establishment of a per manent industrial exposition of manufac- turers in the Russian capital. A commit tee which included the American, British, Spanish and Turkish consuls was appoint ed to formulate a project. The consular representatives of Germany. Norway and Sweden whose trade will suffer by in- creasing the facilities of exporting from distant countries are fiatfy opposed to the plan, but Finance Minister Kokovsoff and Minister of Commerce Folissoff have pressed full thereof.

SHAKY TITLES OF
 ENGLISH BARONETS
Five or Six Per Cent of Baronetage on Doubtful Basis, Says Special Re-
 port of Committee.

London, April 24-Unllke titles granted in some continental countries, those of the British aristocraey have always seem ed to rest upon solid foundation, based as they have been on royal decrees, patents and precedence, and carefully enveloped in red tape. It developed this evening, however, that there is alloy In the gold of the baronetage, for a special depart mental committee has issued a report saying there is no doubt that a number of persons have assumed the title of baronet either wrongfully or upon the most doubt full basis. These cases approximate five or six per cent of the entire baronetage.
 The committee recommends legislative action to create a tribunal that shall prevent the unlawful use of any title. In the meantime 1t recommends in order to avoid frauds that there shall be included in the annual publication of the official roll of baronets only the names of those who have been received at court, or who have been mentioned by that title in some official document.

"Is haven't been able to go to sleep
yet for thinking of that bottle you took
the dose from. Are you sure it was
cough medicine %
Certainly it was. How could I
make any mistake about it?"
Easily enough You know you are
very ahsent-m1nded man. Don't you
remember that you once took a dose
OF sewing machine oil by mistake for
your tonic? You may have made a
mistake this time
IT never took sewing machine oil,
and-1 have never made mistake on a
bottle growled Mr.. Bowser 1.-The

tell me that can't read the label on

"Al right. If you are sure, then I
can go to sleep. I was Just a bit
afraid that YOU had poisoned yourself"
Mr.. Bowser put his head on the pill
low again and sought to WOO sleep. but
after five minutes had passed he sud
denly bounded out of bed and began
to dress.
what is it?" asked Mrs. Bowser. j
Tive got to go down and see about
that Internal old bottle. I know it
isn't possible that I got hold of the
wrong stuff, but you've had to butt in
and make me wonder about it.. L can
almost imagine that I feel a strange
taste in my mouth"
He growIed- all the way downstairs
The chest was on a stand where he
had left 1T, and as he lighted the gas
the cat rolled off the lounge and looked
at him in surprise. He opened the
chest to put his hand on the bottle. and

whooped. He made a dive for the
drug clerk and chased him inside. He
made a rush for coal man who had
been enjoying the situation and upset
him in a snowdrift. Then he struck a
wild gallop for home, anG as he burst
into the house Mrs. Bowser met him
and held up the bottle of cough cure.
You left it down in the kitchen ar
ter taking a swallow, and I found it a
few minutes ago." she explained.

NO

Mr.. Bowser seemed about to take
her in his arms and give way to a nat
ural feeling, but he stopped short,
started back and dramatically pointed
and exclaimed:
<'Ha, woman. I understand! You set
out to poison me, but became con-
science stricken. You can go up to bed
now, while look over some papers in

next instant Mrs. Bowser heard wild
yell. On the bottle was a deaths head
label with the printed word Poison
and the written word 'Laudanum" be-
meath it.
what is it," she shouted as she
| leaned over the banister.
I'll have taken poison! Come
down at once"
What sort of poison?''
"Laudanumi must have drunk
half pint of it!''
Then rush to the drug store and get
the night clerk up and have him adj
minister a remedy. When You are
gone iii make a lot of strong coffeei''
'.Do you-youe think I'm a dead
man % he asked, as he fingered by the
front door while Mrs. Bowser came
flying downstairs.
Don't stop to ask a single ques-
ton, but fly for your life! II you get
remedy down at once, you may be
sayed!'
Mr. Bowser had to go out into the
winters night dressed. but he got
a hump on him. A policeman called
to him from across the street. and two
or three pedestrians tried to stop him,
but he brought up at the family drug
store and almost pulled the. night bell
out by the roots at the first yank. Aft
er he had rung about five minutes and
administered the same number of
kicks on..the door the sleepy clerk adj
mitted him with the exclamation:
What in thunder do you mean by
trying to kick my door in?''
Tive taken poison." gasped Mr..
Bowser, as he staggered in and sat
down.
"Oh, you have? Couldn't rout a
Woodworking drug clerk out of bed at
midnight any other way, and SO you
took poison. What was it %
'Laudanum. I took it for cough
sirup- Don't delay, or I'm a dead
man"
Don't expect me to rush my legs
off, growled the clerk. I'm not re-
sponsible for your mistake. That's the
way with half the men. They will
grab up a bottle and guzzle away and
never pay attention to the label. I'll
give you the usual remedy for lauda-
mum poisoning. You may possibly get
over it and learn caution in the flu
ture. Now take this and then walk
up and down the sidewalk at a brisk
pace. If you stop for a minute, your
are a goner''
Mr.. Bowser walked up and down for
him why he walked, and motormen
wanted to know If he was enjoying
himself. Now and then a hoodlum hit |
him in the head with a SNOWFALL. and |
now and then a tramp walked at his |
elbow and besought him to open his |
beating heart. He had been walking |
for half an hour, and the drug clerk !

He got down the bottle of paste, cut
some paper for labels and then went
hunting about for various bottles He
found a score of them. They were
mostly rem edies he had brought home
From some he had taken two or three
doses, and some of the bottles were
half empty. There were old packages
of epson and rochelle salts and or
bfcarbonate of soda; and he was two
hours labelling and arranging them He
had just a little more to do when Mrs
Bowsersw went up to bed. A search on
the top shelf of the pantry brought to
light an eight ounce bottle called The
Ten Second Cold Cure" Only a dose or
two had been taken from it. Mr. Bow

on a street corner and of taking two or
three doses and then recommending 1t

He put the bottle away with the 9TH

the assurance that he was now able
to cope with any midnight emergency
short of a conhagration. Mrs. Bowser
scented paregoric in his breath, and he
explained that he had found and taken

| Three different lawn parties were
given in Hometown last week, and
as fashionable as Newport in a year
or two more.
Some unhung villain has again start
ed the story that we lock our wife up
and keep her without food for two
days at a time. We have not the
means to offer a reward for his name,
but we feel sure that Providence will
punish him sooner or later.
We are glad to learn that Mrs.
Charles Shaw, who knocked horse
down with a blow of her fist the other
week, is getting better of the injuries
to her hand. The ladies of Hometown
have muscle as we'll as sentiment.
The Banner was in error last week
in saying that Mr.. Henry Devons was
about to we'd the Widow Tompkins.-
The facts in the case are that she is to
sue him for breach of promise be-
cause they are not going to wed. which
is somewhat different.
While We editor was out with a par
ty after huckleberries last Saturday he
killed a blacksnake five feet long. The
town insists that we are a hero, but
the fact is we do such things unoon-
sciously and deserve no credit. It's a
way that editors have.
Our thanks are rendered Mr.. John
Denton, the progressive and enterpris.
ing farmer, for two quarts of new po-
tatoes laid on our editorial table It
is such little gifts that keep an edi-s
tors ambition up to the top notch. 5el
Mrs. Frank Smith, whose husband,
the enterprising grocer, sells kerosene
at nine cents quart, has gone on a
visit TO her sister in Wisconsin. We
trust that the change will do her good
and that Heaven will bring her safely
back.
One night last week a hired girl in
the family of Mr.. Ben Goodhue saw a
ghost as she was retiring for the night
and jumped out of the window and
broke her ankle. We have been asked
by several subscribers to state our dis
belief in ghosts, but we must respect
fully decline.
Last Monday evening. when our wife
brought in the clothes from the wash
line, she forgot our white shirt. and
that night some caiious hearted
wretch visited the yard and stole the
garment. The loss is almost inesti-
mable to us. as we were two years in
getting it, and we ask the thief in the
name of humanity to do a mercifui
thing.
We have discovered during the pres
ent summer that the roots of the bur-
dock plant. then stepped up and made
a tea OF. not only satisfy hunger, but
give the drinker a positive distaste for
beefsteak, fried onions, warm biscuit
sweetcake and other articles of luxury
We are now digging supply of roots
for next winter.
