REVIEWS HIS NAVY.
The Emperor of Japan Looks Over
40 Fighting Machines.
Wear
Onyx
Hosiery

Kobe. Japan. Nov. 1S.-The fight
ing craft of Japan, comprising 10 YES
sells, exclusive of submarines, passed in
review before the emperor today. The
weather was perfect and the occasion
was one long to be remembered.
Notwithstanding the recent plague
scare, the emperor and his attendants
arrived at Kobe as early as 9 o'clock
this morning and on his way to the
harbor front drove through the
streets, crowded with their silent thou
sands and rendered gorgeous by the
array of magnificent decorations in his
honor.
Embarking on the battleship Asama
the emperor was welcomed by Admiral
Togo and the other admirals of the
fleet. AS dozens of guns volleyed their
salutes the sun emerged from behind
cloud, transfiguring the great array of
ships with their flying banners and
the outline of an anchor composed of
pines, planted by school children in
1903.
The Asama. with Admiral Togo on
the bridge, steamed slowly between
the lines of warships and auxiliaries
with every band playing the national
anthem. Togo. at the emperor's side
detailed the strength and equipment
OF each vessel pointing out the ships
captured from Russia during the Rus
ian-Japanese war.
The review was concluded shortly
before noon and the officers took tlft1n
on the Asama. As the emperor left
the flagship. the entire fleet united in
a thunderouS salute.
Prior to his departure for the shore
the emperor congratulated the navy
upon a great improvement due to the
energies of the officers and men. At
Kobe tonight the scene is magnificent
one The entire fleet is outlined in
electric lights and the city is swarm
ing with enthusiastic crowds.

WAR ON THE FRATS.
Lot Ravenscraft Wants Them Abolish
ed at State Schools.

Lot Ravenscraft, the old time Popu-
list member of the legislature, who has
been elected as Democratic member
from Clark county, announces that he
is coming to the 1909 session with a
big stick in his hand for the "frats'
at the state university and other state
schools.
Mr.. Ravenscraft thinks that if it is a
good thing to abolish frats in the high
schools, it is a still better thing to
abolish them in the university and
other state schools.
Mr. Ravenscraft says that the inf1u-
ence of the fraternities and Sororities
at the university is to breed class
hatred and snobbery and he is op-
posed to that sort of thing. So the
frat boys had better look out for Mr..
Ravenscraft.

Babe grow very rapidly and if they
grow backwards instead of forwards;
that is, when their food is not nourish-
ing they grow thin and cross and some
of them die from the lack of the right
kind of food. A girl writes:
My aunt's baby was very delicate
and was always ill.,. She was not able
to nurse it and took it to one doctor
after another. but none of them did the
child any good.
''One day mother told my aunt to try
Grape-Nuts for the baby, but she
laughed and said if the doctors couldn't
do the baby any good, how could
Grape Nuts? But mother said try it
anyway.
80 my aunt put one tablespoonful
of Grape Nuts in a quarter cup of hot
water and when the food was soft she
added as much milk as water and gave
that to the baby.
In a month and a half you would
hardly have known that baby, it was so
fat and thrived so fast. A ne1ghbor
asked my aunt what made the baby so
healthy and fat when only six weeks
before it fas SO thin. She said Grape
Nuts The neighbor got Grape-Nuts
for her baby and it was soon as tat as

international Yachting.

Yachtsmen are discussing the infer-
nation contained in a Glasgow cable
to the effect that Morton r. Plant in
tended to enter English racing with a
twenty-three meter yacht. According
to the cable, the American yachtsman
is going to commission Herreshoff to
build racing sloop under the Eu-
ropean universal rule of measurement
II Mr.. Plant carries out his plans the
matter will be one of international i'm
portance. It will be the first boat to
be built by an American designed IN
der the new rule, which was adopted at
conference in London two years ago,
and the outcome Of the experiment will
be watched with the greatest interest.
The twenty-five meter class Is the di-
vision that Sir Thomas Upton entered
this year with his new Shamrock. 1t Is
about the type and size Of a yacht that
the Irish baron wished to use when
he challenged for the Americas cup
last year. Besides the Shamrock, the
division contains such well known
racers as White Heather and Brynhild.
These boats are furnishing great sport

M'cL0SKEY'S HARD. LUCK.

Little Authority.


Cardinals Manager Complains Of Too
Little Authority.
Heinie Zimmerman is playing a
great game at second for the Chicago
Nationals ia the absence Of Johnny
Evers and hfttfag very hard, which re-
calls one Of John McCloskey's most
touching hard luck stories.
The last time the Cubs were In St.
Louis McCloskey, who was much in
need Of an inf1elder, approached Chance
with an offer to trade Beehe for Zim-
sherman The Cub leader was favor
ably disposed, and the deal would have
been made at once but for the fact
that McCloskey's hands are tied and
he has no authority to make q move
without Stanley Robison's permission.
EN- tell you what to do, Frank"
said John TO Chance. "Put thinner
man into the game this afternoon and
let Stanley take look at him. Then
he will probably consent to trade"
Chance agreed and sent the husky
infielder into Evers' place. 1t was a
close game, and Zimmerman won it
for the Cubs by his timely hitting, be-
sides playing great game in the field.
He looked so good that Chance chang
ed his mind and refused to make the
deal. So McCloskey lost first class
man all because he is not allowed to
run the Cardinals according to his own
Judgment
"About all I am for Is to throw out
new bali to the umpire once In
awhile" said McCloskey.

THE CHARTER OAK.
Bells Tolled and Funeral Dirges Played
When 1t Fell.

When 1t Fell.
The charter oak of Hartford was
white oak. The story goes that when
James, duke of York, assembled the
throne Of England and sent Andres to
take away all colonial charters Con-
necticut alone refused to surrender
hers. Andres was furious over this
defiance, and Oct. 81, 1857, he returned
to the assembly hall of Hartford with
body of soldiers and demanded in
slant surrender of the charter, which
lay in box on the table. A hot dis
cussion followed. Finally Andres
stretched out his hand to seize the
disputed paper. Then the candles
were suddenly extinguished, and the
people who had gathered on the street
outside rushed In disorderly crowd
into the hall. There was q period of
wild confusion in the dark, and when
the candles were finally relighted no
charter was to be found. 1T had been
removed by Captain Wadsworth and
concealed In the oak. which ever after
ward bore its name.
The oak was even then old. when

as to the time of planting our corn.
When the leaves are the size Of a
mouse's ears, then is the time to put
seed into the ground The Indians re-
quest was granted, and the tree, after
ward becoming the custodian Of the
lost charter, became famous for all
time. 1t fell in windstorm Aug. 81,
1856, and so deeply was it venerated
that at sunset on the day of its fall
the bells of the city were tolled and a
band Of music played funeral dirges
over its ruins.
At the time of its fall its circumfer-
ence one foot from the ground was
twenty-five feet, and it was estimated
to be over GOO years old.-Kansas City
