hood dollar that went astray and never
found its way home.
Ten years ago IN Allen county (kan.)
farIner put his initials on dollar bill.
The next day he went to the nearest
town and spent 1t with a merchant.
Before the year was out he got the
dollar back. Four times in six years
the dollar cane back TO him for prod
nee. and three times he heard of it in
the pockets Of his neighhors.
The last time he got it back five
years ego Ee sent it to mail order
house. He has never seen that dollar
since aud never will. That dollar will
never pay any more school or road tax
for him, will never build or brighten
any OF the homes Of the community.
He sent it entirely out Of the circle OF
usefulness to himself and ncighbors.
How many dollars. how many mil
lions of dollars, arc going away from
home never to return every year!
Some statisucian has estimated thnf
about 25O,0o0.O00 Of them take French
leave Of their home communities annu-
ally by the mail order route. Every one
that dcpaTs from home in this wnY
takes dollars worth Of prosperity out

Birmingham, Ala. which is already

movement valuable to any town. Red

the people will support Mayor Ward
in his movement for improving and
j beautifying all sections Of Birming-
ham the city will be made still more
attractive as a place Of residence. The
mayor desires the women to take the
actual lead in this matter and organize
societies for enhancing the appearance
, Of such blocks especially as have been
,, neglected.
Much has been done in an educa-
tional way to stimulate in the public
taste for the beautiful. but in order to

cheese, and where the quantity ra-
uuired is small the cut is naturally
very thin.
This objection is overcome il the
cutter shown here, as the cutting
knife extends only one-half the Width
OF the cheese. The top Of the table
moves freely. the knife being siatton-
ary and pivotal to a frame 1T ire
back. An arrangement for indicai-
ing the size OF the cut is secured To
the front Of the table. The ease
with which pound Or two of cheese
can lie sliced off will be apparent at
once. In fact. the dividing rD2chan-
ism is so accurate that it is un-
necessary to reweigh the cut, as is

WEAPONS ARE DESTROYED.
An Cnwritten Law, Based on Super.
stitiou, OF Royal Houses.


stitiou, OF Royal Houses.
For obvious reasons 1t was nat
ural That the Spanish police should
be anxious to secure the bomb which
did not explode when thrown at the
royal couple. There was a reason.
behind the desire to nip in the buG
chance of further damage. There
is an unwritten law in the reigning
houses OF Europe, says the London
Standard, that all relics of attempts
upon royal lives, as well as the in
struments used for treating the
wounds caused in such attempts,
shall be destroyed. There Was
solemn assembly in Geneva of Aus
tTo- Hungarian officials to witness
tho destruction of the instruments
which caused the death of the En-
press Elizabeth and of the surgical
post-mortem examination.
The custom is based to ccrtaia
extent upon superstition, but more
solidly upon the determination
to prevent the relics from failing
IG:o the hands OF exhibitors OF such
tragic triaes.
The cuatom in this matter ore
was to grind to pieces the weapon
which had been employed. When.
however, the dagger was secured
with which the prieEt Martin Merino
attempted to murder Queen Isabella
Of Spain, rather more than half q
century ago. the blade was found to
be of such finely tempered steel that
it resisted every effort Of file and
stone.
Something like panic was caused
when the news got abroad; the
Spanish peasants imagined that
there must be magic in the blade.
So cabinet was specially summoned
to deal with the crisis, and 1t was
determined to submit the steel to
the influence OF acids. This proving
successful, all implements used for
the like foul purpose have under
saac the like treatment--knives.
swords, daggers, revolvers and, pre-
sumably, bombs.
1t was cruel irony that the bombs
thrown at the young king and queen
OF Spain should be hurled by man
secreted in the only house in Mad
rid owned by Queen Christina. This.
ct first sight, is surprising. Napo-
leon H., in the terror which Orsin $
attempt inspired, bid for safety by
buying up the houses facing the

San Francisco, Cal, Jan. 13.-The
fate of Abraham Ruef and the future
policy of the graft prosecution will be
determined today at a conference to
be held between the former boss and
District Attorney Langdon.
He May Testify.
If the prosecution grants the de,
mand of Ruef for complete immunity,
it can proceed with the trial of other
alleged bribers with the aid of Ruef';
testimony, which is said to be to the
effect that he was employed by the
corporation as an attorney.
In Case of Refusal.
IF Reuf's demand is refused, it is
probable that the prosecution will have
to proceed with the cases without hi,
testimony. If the prosecution should
decide to accept Ruef's proposal, it is
likely that it will demand more definite
testimony than he has yet given in re.
turn for the concession.
