Cutters have certain rules for sharp ening razors, pocketknives, etc. "A razor," said one of the craft, must be laid flat on the hone, because 1t is hollow ground and requires a fine edge. But pocketknife requires q stiff edge. and the moment you lay it fiat on stone, so as to touch the pol ished side, you injure the edge. It must be held at an angle of twenty to twenty-five degrees and have an edge similar to chisel"

Omaha Doctor strangely Shot on His
 Own Porch Also lnoeuIatsd Himself
 With Lookjaw, but This Was Nsu-
 tralixsd by tho Fever = Carried
 Around and Showed to Friends Test
 Tubes Containing Deadly BaciIIi. Omaha, Neb., Sept. s-In connection with the murder or suicide of Dr. Frederick Rustin, prominent surgeon, who was shot on his porch in Omaha the Omaha World Herald prints sto- " of alleged former attempts of Dr. Rustin to commit suicide by inoculat- ing himself with various diseases.
 The World Herald says:
 "Dr. Rustin had before attempted to commit suicide in manner so clever ly and cunningly devised as to avoid the appearance of suicide and which was so novel and unique In the method employed that 1t Is probably without parallel In suicidal annals.
 "Dr. Rustin inoculated himself with the bacilli of typhoid fever for the pur- pose of taking his own life, was strick- en with the fever and was so near dead that the attending physicians de- spaired of his life.
 Also Gave Himself Lockjaw.
 "It is also stated that at that time he inoculated himself with the germs of tetanus, or lockjaw, as well, but the effects of this were overcome by the typhoid.
 Tn May, 1905, Rustin secured from the bacteriological laboratory of the University of Chicago two test tubes containing pure cultures, onesof tetan- us bacillus, or lockjaw, and the other malignant typhoid fever. These test tubes he carried in his pocket and ex- hibited them to his friends, telling them that if he put little of the ty- phoid germs into their beer they would have typhoid fever within two weeks, or if he scratched them and put the tetanus bacilli in the wound they would die of lockjaw.
 Became III of Typhoid.
 Shortly after that Dr. Rustin show ed evidences of typhoid fever. He also complained of having been bitten on the leg by dog and exhibited scar. It Is thought possible that he infected this wound with the lockjaw germs and also that they were overcome by the typhoid fever. Dr. Rustin became seriously i'll with the typhoid.
 "After a long, hard siege he finally pulled through. Nothing was said by him concerning the manner in which he contracted the typhoid fever until September, 1907, one year ago, he ad- mitted to friends that he had taken the typhoid fever bacilli with the in- tent to end his life in such manner that it would appear to have resulted from natural causes"

Chicago, July 30.-Rifies in the
hands of automobile flyers pitted
against the revolvers of the Glencoe
"autocatchers" is the situation that
threatens to develop in the war
against "speeders" being waged in
the north shore village.
Justice of the Peace M. T. Lane of
Glencoe, who acquitted Special Police
man Frank Moore, who fired after the
automobile of T. F. Henderson and
hit Miss Runa Stribling, one of the
occupants, yesterday received a
threatening missive through the mail,
announcing that the automobile driv-
ers were arming themselves, and
would kill any policeman who at
tempted to stop them
The threatening message was writ
ten on post card. 1t was unsigned.
1t had been mailed in Oak Park. 1t
read as follows: is. II p
Your decision in the Moore case
was outrageous. Auto drivers are
arming themselves with rifles. When
we get through there will be few
less special officers In Glencoe" f
The letter frightened the "automo-
bile catchers." That some unscrupu-
lous driver might carry out the
threat was thought possible. IA 4 s.
Detectives were called in consulta.
tion and every effort will be made to
apprehend the writer. II
Z 1t wasf argued that it would be easy
for any person having a grudge
against the police, to carry out the
threat, as the policemen are out on
the lonesome Green Bay and Sheridan
roads at all times of the night. Spe,
cial precautions will be taken to pro
tect them.

PENSIONS PRoLoNG LIFE.
Al Important Factor In the Promotion
of Longevity,

Al Important Factor In the Promotion
3 Of Longevity.
An important and noteworthy fact
which is to be taken into account by
English economists in the administra-
ton of their old age pension system is
that pensioners live long. That fact.
often stated in satiric vein. Is to be
taken seriously. as demonstrated BY
statistics and as having an essential
bearing on both the amount Of pen
sions to be paid and the effect Of them
upon society. S
A striking demonstration Of this is
to be observed in the records of the
Friendly Society Of Iron Founders in
England. That organization has for
many years been paying pensions to
its superannuated members. In 1885
it was found that the average age
of these pensioners at death was six.
ty-eight years and six months In
1906-7 it was seventy-one years and
three months. Thus the average life
of a pensioner had been heightened by
two years and nine months.
It does not appear that the general
average Of human life in England has
been heightened to so great an extent,
wherefore we must conclude that the
pensions are an important factor In
the promotion Of longevity. That is
quite natural, Of course, for the en-
joyment Of a pension means better
food and generally better conditions
Of life than the superannuated worker
would have without it, as well as
greater freedom from anxiety, and
those improved circumstances prolong
life. z. Rs
If the same rule operates under the
national pension system, as it proba-
bly, will, though perhaps net to SO
marked an extent, the national treas
ury will have more to pay on that ac-
count than is estimated under the
present expectancy of life.
This increase in the length Of life
of pensioners, while it will add to the
cost of the system, is Of course to be
regarded with qualification as a be-
neficent and desirable result and as an
argument in favor Of the system
