, CouIdn't Tell Dukes.
From London Ideas.

On one occasion the Duke of Sutherland
had a highly amusing experience when
travelling north. At Edinburgh an Ameri-
can got into the same compartment as
the duke, and a conversation was opened.
At a small station another traveller, as
unassuming and as plainly dressed as the
duke, entered the carriage, and, recog-
ntZing his grace, the new conner greeted
him cordially. The three talked amlcably
until they reached Perth, where the last
arrived alighted. Seeing several footmen
respectfully approach the traveller, the
American turned to his companion, and
said. Can you tell me who that gentle
man WASP" "Oh, yes" answered the
duke, carelessly; that was the Duke of
Fife" Indeed" calculated the Ameri-
can. TT was very condescending of him
to laugh and chat with ordinary chaps
like ourselves" The duke smilingly
agreed. Presently his grace reached the
station where he wished to alight, and as
the train came to a standsill he shook
hands with the American and said good
by. To his great surprise the American
noticed that his late fellow traveller was
also met by a retinue of servants, and,
leaning out Of the carriage window, he
asked the guard the name of the gentle
man. THE Duke Of Sutherland" came
the reply. II did not know the aristo-
cracy Travelled in such an unceremonIous
way said the American; pray tell me
who you are, SO that l shan't make any
more mistakes"

against himself. Once, while visiting
his sister, Mr.. Roosevelt entered the
room after every n else was al the

heartily.
Il have Just played a mad prank on
the plumber" he declared. Then he re-
lated how he had gone to the bath
room TO wash his hands, when he heard
what seemed to be stealthy footsteps
coming down the hall. The boys had
played a number of jokes on him. and
he Immediately surmised that they
were about to spring q new one. He
sopped q washrag in wafer, then, with
the dripping cloth in his hand, he wait
ed the attack. The steps came nearer
and nearer, then stopped, and some one
tried to open the door, which the presi-
dent was holding shut. Suddenly he
threw the door wide open, simultane-
ously swinging the wet cloth over his
head and shouting g~leefully, I've got
you nowl" The washrag landed, not on
the head of one of the boys, as he had
anticipated, but square across the face
Of a startled plumber who had come
to repair a defective pipe. 1t was hard

president or the plumber. Mr.. Roose-

From the New York Press.
OF all the physical culture fads that
have been recommended to women, none
is so add as that championed by Ella G..
Grundy, an Englishwoman who is to visit
this country in the hope of interesting
American women in her ideas. Mrs.
Grundy's gymnasium is the lawn or gar
den, or both, n she insists upon all
work, even to the handling OF a spade.
THE beginner will find" shea writes,
that ten minutes spade exercise. is as
good as a brisk massage for making her
body tingle. Digging with a spade means
beauty. The constant bending OF the
body works the muscles of the back and
waist, waking up torpid livers and helping
to reduce size. Are YOU a round shout
dered, narrow chested woman? Then
drag the garden roller up and down the
lawn or the tennis court a few minutes
every day, and you will be surprised at
the improvement in your figure. Your
chest will expand, your neck will grow
round and plump, n your back will be-
come upright. But never, never push the
roller. Beauty culture in the garden does
not altogether depend upon the exercise
of the body. The finishing touches are
given by natures cosmetics, which are
fresh air, sun n rain"

Makes Indian Arrow Heads.


Ernest Bauman, OF Berlin, Kent county,
Mich, is said to ave discovered how the
Indians made arrow heads. This is the
story: Many a time when his plough
turns up an arrowhead, or some of the
chips faxed off in the process Of manu-
f~acture, he would sit down beside the
plough and become absorbed In study Of
the problem. From the chips he learned
more than from the heads themselves. He
learned which way they came off the
stone and then he began to experiment to
find the means employed to break them
off. He tried as a hammer every material
he could think OF, and. finally succeeded in
chipping several fakes off with a piece
of hard wood whitfield to a point. with
this encouragement he kept at II, and
about a year ago succeeded In producing a
perfect arrowhead. The news of the sue
cess of his experiments came to David
w. Keneall Of Grand Rapids, who is an
authority on geological and chronological
subjects. He wrote the boy, and Bauman
called at Kendall's residence and an
nounced he would make an arrowhead for
him then and there. He produced the
only tool which he said was necessary,
and to Mr.. Kendall's surprise II was moth
ing more than a small bit OF wood whitfield
to a point. From another pocket he took
@ rough piece of flint and set to work.
With a peculiar twisting motion OF the
against the stone-he broke Off chip after
chip, and within an hour handed to Mr..
Kendall a perfect arrowhead.

HIS STOMACH
BY GIVING IT A REST
Afflicted Indiana Man Tries
Fasting for a Week and
Reports Good Results.

Logansport, Ind, Special: A seven days
fast at a cost Of Is pounds of weight has
been finished by William M. Loner, Of
this city, who says he has obtained re-
Hef from stomach, liver and kidney trou-
bic, from which he had suffered previous
ly. ALI symptoms OF those ailments have
disappeared and he is enjoying better
health today than he has for the last sew
eral months. b.
Last summer Lonef tasted p days in
hope Of curing this came complication OF
diseases. He succeeded in obtaining re-
lief, and until two months ago he thought
that he had ~efectually cured himself.
Then the old symptoms returned, and
after trying several doctors without re-
suit, he again decided to fast. Being OBJ
iged to work daily. he was unable to
stand the strain Of total abstinence more
than one week. When he tasted q days
last year he was not working,
Loner says that this fast has. not cured
him, and he knows he has only obtained
relief. Great confidence is expressed In
his belief that he can effectually cure him
self II he only fasts long enough. He is
going to try a To-day fast. He is con-
fident that he can go that length OF time
without food Of any kind, n he thinks
hat II he does, he not only will recover,
but that he win forever eradicate stom-
ach. liver and kidney trouble from his
system.
Long will start his Today fast In the
fall, and his condition will be watched
daily by the Cass County Medical associa-
ton, whose member wish to ascertain
whether or not there Is virtue in the claim
hat fasting will cure certain diseases.
This time Loner will not work while abb
staining from food. He will rest quietly,
and his only exertion will be a daily spin
on his bicycle. While making his seven
day fast, he daily worked at Mount Hope
cemetery, digging graves, moving grass
and keeping the grounds in condition.

When Secretary Root was at Panama
on his return from South America a

thought the American occupation Of
Cuba would last and got the following
story In reply:
"A kindergarten teacher asked a
class OF boys.
Have o q warm coat?'
Yes was the reply.
"'Can you take off your warm
coat2' &
Yes
HAS a bear a warm coat?'
YES
"tCan a bear take off his warm

This puzzled the youngster a mo-
ment, and then n cub on the back
