1t remains TO this day a disputed
point among the Bradys as to what

days induced 9TH ould gray mare" to
behave as she did on this particular
Sunday.
Rounding a corner, she swerved into
the ditch, and before Micky, the boy,
could cope with the situation, a pile OF
Bradys, vertical and horizontal, had
been dumped into the ditch, with the
little trap turned over and resting on
top OF the struggling heap.

VERDI AND HIS THRIFTY WAYS
Great Composer Worried Over Small
Hole In His BEST Coat"

Baron Edmondo Mayor des Planches,
ambassador from Italy, told a new
Verdi story at dinner given in Wash.
ington recently The great Maestro
had just produced his opera Aida" in
Paris for the first time and the entire
city was wild with enthusiasm. The
president OF France made II known
that at the second performance the
rosette Of the Legion OF Honor would
be conferred on the illustrious COM
poser, great fete was gotten up to
honor the event. The president made
the presentation, and Verdi seemed
overcome with emotion. Indeed. he
fumbled with the rosstte 90 long that
one OF the attendants OF the president
arose and, taking his penknife, made
neat slit in the coat and placed the
button firmly in place. After the opera
a grand banquet was given and every
one was concerned to see that the
Maestro looked unhappy. He would
lapse into fits OF musing even during
the most enthusiastic speeches, and
would sigh and look doleful indeed
Finally an old friend got near him and
asked solicitously what was troubling
him. Verdi unused a long time and
then explained sadly: 81 do not see
that you can do anything to help me
and, indeed. cannot see how ! can
help myself. am just wondering
what my wife will say to me when she
sees this great hole In my best coat"

Diaduction

Diaduction may be used to re.ani.
mate three classes of living organ.
ism, namely: Human beings, ami.
mails and plants, and thus there are
three branches; the Popular, simple
enough for any sensible, ten year
old child; the Scientific, familiar on,
ly TO the Discoverer, for use at the
eleventh hour; the Industrial, for
use in fostering the welfare of valu.
able farm animals, fowls, plants,
flowers, etc.
In short, Diaduction as learned and
developed by the Discoverer during
the last half century, applies to any
thing that lives. AS with any
science, for instance, surveying ar.
chitecture, astronomy, there must be
implements, instruments, tools. "
with which to utilize to cause action !;
and thus in Diaduction, as in Nature
Itself, there are Devices adapted to
Cause various effects, three Of these
Diaductive means to ends being
named, to wit: Oxydonor, Vitara and
Panaxora,, each of which is adapted
to use by the general public, and
their proper use makes doctors and
supposed remedies not only useless
but absolutely foolish because, IL
Diaduction is available, he who re-
sorts to drugs or knives commits
suicide. Dragging and knitting, IL
done with knowledge of the asser-
tions made by the Discoverer of Dia-
duction are mortal offenses against
the person. The Natural Laws.
which are the Emanation of the Su-
preme, do not condone the slightest
violation, while obedience to those
laws confers immunity to disease, or
the only possibility of recovery from
it.
The achievements OF Doctor Sanche
in developing to Perfect Success the
science Of Deduction, and making its
utilization available to every sane
human being, have made doctors and
remedies, together with all the Re.
hash'Barbarism, an insult to intelli-
gence, an offense against omniscience
and demand that man shall make
knitting and drugging statutory
crimes.
Nature is an infallible curer; the
Laws OF Diaduction are the Laws
of Nature, the Laws of The Omnipo-
tent. Obey or perish!

"Desertions in the German army are

man army, as is well known, is per-
haps the most rigorous of any In the
world, but there is rarely thought
Of deserving.
This is due largely, I suppose, TO
the fact that service in the army OF
Germany is compulsory. 1t is part of
every mans life, just as school educa-
ton is. Boys are taught in school to
obey, and in later life, when they enter
the army, discipline is so instilled
into their minds that there is never
a thought of disobeying orders.
"Dueling, once so common in Ger.
many, is now thing of the past. One
never hears OF the code of honor any
