Outwittcd The Landlord.

When recently leasing house in
a fashionable suburb of Philadelphia
the lessee failed to examine closely
the terms of the lease. After a time
his landlord called and reminded
him that he was bound to do all
the outside painting at certain in
tervals. The tenant protested in
vain; so he engaged painters and or
dered them to paint the whole front
of the house red, white, and blue
in stripes.
When it was finised the neighbor-
hood rose up in arms. and the land
lord was frantic. The tenant polite.
ly explained that there was nothing
In the lease about the color, so he
intended to finish the job by paint
ing the back of the house green with
large yellow spots. The landlord
saw that he had met his match and
within a few days the tenant had a
new lease in which the landlord un-
dertook to do all the outside paint
ing.-From Lippincott's Magazine.

WHAT The TRADE MARK MEANS
TO THE BUYER.

Few people realize the Importance
OF the words Trade Mark" stamped
on the goods they buy. III they did
1t would save them many a dollar
spent for worthless goods and nut a
lot OF INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers
out of business.
When a manufacturer adopts a
trade mark he assumes the entire re-
sponsibility for the merit of his pro-
duct. He takes his business reputa-
ton In bis hands-out In the lime
light-"on the square with the buy
er OF his goods. with the dealer. and
with himself.
The other manufacturer-the one
who holds out Inducements" offer
Ing To brand all goods purchased with
each local dealers brand-sideetep
responsibility. and when these infe-
rior goods come back" It's the local
dealer that must pay the penalty.
A good example OF the kind OF pro-
lection Afforded the public by a trade
mark is that offered In connection
with National Lead Comrany's ad-
vertising OF pure White Lead as the
best paint material.
That the Dutch BOY Painter trade
mark is an absolute guaranty OF pur-
lty in White Lead is proved to the
most skeptical by the offer National

any address a blow-pipe and lnstruc-
tions how to test the white lead for
themselves. The testing OUTFIT is be-

PRUSSIA TO GRANT WOMEN EDUCATION EQUAL TO MEN,
Forced Modern Conditions Prepare
CoEdueaon In Universities Elaborate
inc Lea Up TO MatrcuIation.

Berlin.-German homes and Ger
man newspapers have been far more
occupied during the end of the week
with the Prussian Governments de-
cree granting higher education to
women than by discussions on Ger
man and British naval armaments or
the meeting of the two sovereigns
The granting of educational opportu-
mites for girls and women equal to
those of men Is regarded as marking
deep change in German life, where,
more than in the Western States,
women have been considered as the
keepers of the home and the workers
In minor Industries.
The Introductory paragraphs of the
decree of the Ministry of Education,
which has been approved by the EN-
peror, recite the reasons for the
change in the system. Modern life,
says the decree, develops an increas-
ing disinclination on the part of men
of the upper classes to marry, and
more girls in the upper and middle
classes are prevented from becoming
wives and mothers. 1t is desirable,
therefore, that the surplus of young
women should have a chance of pre-
pairing themselves for professional
callings, and that they should be
trained in the higher mental func-
tions.
According to the scheme, girls are
to be educated in all studies embraced
in a specially arranged curriculum,
beginning at a minimum age of six
years. At the end of the seventh
school year the pupils will begin to
differentiate in their studies, those
preparing for advanced instruction

great number of fatalities resulting
from mine accidents is being held

MOTHER HELD AS ABDucroR.

Reading Especially TO be arrest
ed on the charge of abducting her
own child is the unusual predica-
ment in which Mrs. Mayme Hissner,
of this city, finds herself. She was
taken into custody on a warrant
sent here by Alderman Hoverter, OF
Harrisburg. The police had been
looking for the woman for week.
She was taken before Alderman
Kreider, where she entered bail for
her appearance in court at Harris
burg on September IA.
The mother is unusually pretty
and is about 23 years of age. The
child, girl of years old, is be-
ing contested for by Mr.. and Mrs.
John A. Salver, of Harrisburg, who
claim to have adopted 1t, though the
mother denies this. A week ago the
mother went to Harrisburg and was
given permission to take the child
to Reading for few days. 1t is
alleged that instead she placed it
in the custody of an uncle and aunt
at Lebanon.

them, such as Latin. After two
years they will again be arranged in
divisions, classical or modern higher
study respectively. Then after four
years work they will. under normal
conditions, be admitted to examina-
tions for matriculation to the univer-
stiles.
Up to this time their education will
have been carried on in separate
schools, bur in the university co-edu-
cation Will begin under conditions
similar to those governing men stu

seventh school year do not elect to

they reach the age of sixteen, after
which they may leave school or take
two years in modern languages, mu-
sic or domestic accomplishments, or
they may take four years special
training as teachers.

There has been an agitation for equal
privileges for the sexes since the early
eighties. and most of the other Ger
man States have already granted
them.
Frau Helene Lange, the noted edu-
cationalist, has been a leading advo-
cate OF this intellectual emancipa-
tion. Professor Adolf Harnack, of

SUICIDE ATTEMPT FAILS.

Norristown (SpeciaD -Preferring
death to Jail and the accompanying
disgrace, William Brunner, of West
Elm Street, swallowed laudanum,
but after hurried trip to the hospi-
tai and a vigorous use of the stom-
ach pump, he was able to leave and
was arrested.
Drummer was wanted for some
time on a forgery charge. 1t was
charged that he presented checks
to local business men and got 500.
Constable John Wolfe apprehended
Brunner in clubhouse on George
Street, near his home.
1t was while he was being taken
to Jail that the prisoner drained a
bottle of laudanum. The constable
saw the act, but was unable to pre-
vent 1t. He summoned a passing
automobile and the speed laws were
broken In the endeavor to save the
mans life.

SECRETLY MURDERED 17o FOR THE SULTAN

The System of Espionage Pasha Field Marshal and
Adherent of Young Turks Tells O His Escapes

Young Turk Party in 1909, but who
was recently restored to his rank as
Field Marshal and returned to Con-
stantinople, tells an interesting story
of his exile and imprisonment at
Brussa. He says that before his de-
portation his life was attempted four
teen times, his struggle against the
Infamous palace rule involving him
in dangers of all kinds.
when they failed to murder me"
he said, "by secret means l was de-
ported without trial or warning, and
even while imprisoned the systematic
precautions did not cease.
1T is the fashion to say that the
sovereign is ignorant of the fearful
crimes committed in his name, but
His Majesty must have sheaves of re-
ports in my handwriting reciting the
mysteries of the camarilla for years
past. Every Ottoman functionary
was compelled, whether he liked 1t
or not, to be an accomplice to a great
er or lesser degree in the wholesale
robbery which has made Turkey a
byword. Comparatively honest men
were drawn into the meshes, and
once there it was impossible to resist
rowing in the same boat. To refuse
meant to become the object of perse-
cution and to pay dearly for ones
temerlty in the end.
II ask you whether the mere grant
ing OF Constitution at the sword s
point is sufficient to blot out the
memory of the sufferings of thou
sands like myself, who have UNDER
gone far worse physical and mental
tortures than l have. If the Sultan
henceforth sets his face against the
abuses he formerly fathered he has
nothing to fear. but he must be
warned that the slightest symptom of
tampering with the nations rights
and liberties Will be the signal for
his downfall. That he has for so
long time been unmolested is large
ly the fault of one or two European
Powers, whose interest lay in main
tanning Turkeys weakness as a pow-
er. We now look chiefly to Great
Britain and France to foster our lib
critics."

London.-Zia Bey, the former head
of Turkeys Secret Police, who is q
refugee in London, in an interview
said:
Il am glad to be here, and it is
not possible that | will ever return to
Turkey. You must remember that
at the bidding of my superiors | have
been the means of running Ministers,
officers and Government officials, and
ITO Turks, many of them members of
the most honorable families, disap-
peared during my term of office.
1T mattered not who were the
persons to be removed, the orders
from the Yildiz Kiosk were implicitly
obeyed. To be denounced by the Sc
cret police was sufficient to ruin any
one. Can you wonder that Turkey
has seen the last of me?
THE Porte as an administrative
machine ceased to- exist twenty-five
years ago; since then all the power
has been centred in the Yildiz Kiosk.
/ do not blame the Sultan entirely,
nor the Chamberlains entirely. Their
power rested in sort of working
agreement, which enabled them to
manipulate the resources of the en-
pire in their own interests. Izzet
Pasha, the Sultan's secretary, is re-
puted to have saved $500, 900,
which he has invested in the United
States. The Sultan himself has at
least SIS, 100000 invested in Europe,
this amount being his percentage on
bribes from contractors for war
stores and army and navy supplies.
Il often reflected that this could
not go on forever, but the end came
quicker than most of us expected.
Zia Bey explained the difficulties
he had in making his escape from
Turkey. The Sultan, he said, warned
him to fee, and he had to shoot a
man dead who tried to prevent his
emharkation despite the disguise he
had adopted.

an, lis not failure. 1t is true
that potatoes have not yielded we'll
in some parts of the county, but
there are other sections where the
yield has been up to the standard.
In the lower end of the county, es-
pecially, the yield has been good.
There are many patches of fine
and large potatoes to be found down
there. The price of the tubers is
not going to be as high as some
people assert. do not think the
price will go above 81 a bushel.'

The new Kent control Of dogs
order, 1908, provides that no dog
shall be allowed out between the
hours of sunset and sunrise without
being under proper restraint, and
the first summons under this order
was heard at Bromley. when Edward
Gilham, of st. Annes Lodge, was
summoned for allowing his dog to be
out alone at night.
The defendant said that the dog
must have either broken loose OF
have been decoyed away He hoped
that now they would have proper
police protection and that It would
not be necessary to keep a dog. His
place had been broken into and moth.
ing had been discovered about the
perpetrators.
The bench said that as 1t was a
new order. with which the public
were not generally acquainted, II
would only order the payment oi
costs. but 1t would be well for the
public Of Kent to make a note ol
the order.
