terday when PAtrolmaD Naumack
stopped and asked in astonishment:
Where did you get that shinny
stick, sonny?"
Il found it, said the urchin.
At the station house Lieutenant Nc
Carthy, who used to be a demonstrator
at the museum of anatomy, said the
shinny stick was tie shinbone of a

Why Uncle Sans Sons Marry Ameri-

A sarcastic contemporary Of Goth
am submits this problem to it's read

iC, that although half the aristocracy
Of Europe is now American on its
mothers side, it hasn't yet occurred
to any American man to capture and
bring home a European duchess,
countess, princess or anything like
that"
1t isn't so queer" however, when
one comes to think about it. The
average American man is usually
blessed with a fair degree of common
sense and has the bump of discrim-
ination and appreciation highly d.
veloped He knows that the ATf511i
can woman, with all her faults, and
especially her weakness for title, is
the most charming of all the daugh-
ters of Eve. Being wise, therefore,
the American man takes unto himself
an American wife and makes her hap

sonable being and does not dream of
castles in Spain and chateaus in

sullen Indifference, but at the insti-

have teen raised and delegations will
bc sent to San Francisco for the pur-
pose of extending good wishes and
congratulations to Admiral Evans and
hi $4,000 men. By those familiar
with the situation, this action is re-
garded as one of the most progress
sive steps the western japanese have
ever made to ameliorate the unfor-
tunate conditions now existing and
the presence of the delegation at
the Golden Gate will be considered
as a peace offering to the enraged
whites whose antagonism has been
ut white heat since the sensational
action of the San Francisco board of
education came near precipitating in
telnational complications.
There are thousands of japanese en-

The proffer of friendship was the
result of peculiar combination of cir

almost fiendish delight in the multi

ten or twelve years, during which

AR. Lacy's health Ia greatly fm-

proving a welcome panacea for asth-

pounds heavier than when he left
his home, and hopes, by ending his
vacation with few days spent in
the balmy atmosphere of Houston,
with a side trip to Galveston where
he WILL enjoy the gentle gulf
breezes, to add at least five pounds
more ere he reaches his home in
the old north state.
At the time of his. election ten
years ago, as treasurer of the state
of North Carolina, Mr.. Lacy was
identified with one of the prosper
Gus savings banks in Raleigh, which
he organized and made successful.

RETIRED BUSINESS Man
nv anr FAvORS new THEORY
e. HI. Lambert, of Everett, Massachusetts
Believes Stomach the Seat of Life.

One OF the most interesting state
ments made recently concerning the
much discussed Cooper theory, that
has spread over the country during the
past year. Is made by L II. Lambert,
q retired business man, whose home l.
at lis Francis Street, Everett, Mass.
Mr.. Lambert has this to say In con-
nection with Cooper and his medi-
cines: Some time ago I read an ar
ticle about this man Cooper, I'm which
he claimed that stomach trouble was
directly responsible for most iii health.
He went on to say that, although his
medicine did nothing but get the stom-
ach In sound condition, IL wonld. In
many cases. remove kidney and liver
trouble and various other ailments.
He argued from this that the stomach
was the main cause OF sickness, and
stated that the success he has had
with his medicines was due entirely
to this fact.
Il am now fully convinced that this
theory is correct, and believe Cooper
has really remarkable medicine,
judging from my own experience.
