ENDED THE BIBLE READING.
Beginner Resented Wife's Enjoyment
of His Mistake.

A Kansas City man, who had fol-
lowed stock quotations, football scores
and race form sheets more closely
than he had religious and literary mat
tiers, recently was persuaded by his
wife to read aloud each evening from
the Old Testament to improve the
knowledge of both on Biblical matters.
The man became interested in the
story of the scriptures and read aloud
several evenings with great gusto and
pleasure. One night as he was swing
ing along he read: "And they horse
whipped the beasts"
Hold on" exclaimed his wife.
"What was that?"
They horsewhipped the beasts" he
repeated, and continued reading. His
wife got up from her sewing, crossed
the room, looked over his shoulder and
read:
"'They worshiped the beasts
There" she said, 81 knew the word
horsewhipped was not IN the Bible.
He! He!"
The man closed the Bible with a
snap, clasped the snap, and that con-
cluded the readings for all time.

torman had taken the precaution to
ductor had pulled the trolley two feet
down from the overhead wire and tied
it to the car.
While the car was standing all by
itself employees eating in the car barns
noticed a peculiar electric disturbance
in the air and could hear also a
strange sound. half moan, half boot,
unlike any sound they had ever heard
before. One man wanted to go out and
investigate, but his companions
laughed at him and told him the
sound was merely the ordinary noise
of a trolley spool on a wire. Prob
ably the spool was stiff, they said.
Just then a hatless man dashed to
the door and cried that the car that
had been standing outside was moving
away on its own account, with its troll
ley pole two feet short OF the wire.
The laughing men left their food and
hurried out in time to see the car
rapidly disappearing.
Although the cars trolley pole was
way short of the wire, it was splitting
showers Of sparks Some of the men
declared positively that a distinct
sulphurous smell filled the air.
The car was away two hours. In
that time it was seen by hundreds Of
persons. II ran the full length of the
trip to Eackensack, doubled the troll
lev there. and came back to the East
Rutherford barn, where it started.
Then it stopped of its own accord.
One man who had followed 1t in an
automobile, declares the car invariably
slowed dpwn when in danger of over
taking a car ahead. Since none of the
persons who met it knew anything
about Trolley cars no one dared to
board it.
Expert electricians who examined
the car after its return to the barn
were unable to find anything wrong
with it. The whole occurrence is pro-
found mystery.

sake of their sires they were allowed
to go AFTER a severe reprimand by
Chief of Police Haskell.

CATARRH MADE LIFE
A BURDEN TO Me.
MISS ANNIE CATRON, GER Main

MISS ANNIE CATRON, 927 Main
; AVA ST., Cincinnati, Ohio, writes:
''As l have found Peruna q blessing
for severe case of catarrh of the head
and throat which / suffered from for
number of years, am only too pleased
to give it my personal endorsement.
"Catarrh, such as ! suffered from,
made life burden to me, my breath
was offensive, stomach bad, and my
head stopped up so that was usually
troubled with headache, and although
tried many so-called remedies, moth
ing gave me permanent relief. | was
rather discouraged with all medicines
when Peruna was suggested to me.
However, did buy bottle, and be-
fore that was finished there was a
marked change in my condition. Much
encouraged kept on until was COM
piefeLy cured in months time, and
find that my general health is also ex-
cellent."

HERE GOES ANOTHER ILLUSION.
"Fiddlng Bob" Declares He Has Not
Played for Many Years.

Another cherished illusion has been
shattered. Senator Taylor of Tennes-
see, lovingly called throughout the
union Kidding Bob" doesn't play the
fiddle after all. He has entered for
NAL denial. Pretty soon somebody will
be saying that Congressman Rich
mond Pearson Hobson of Merrimac
fame never kissed pretty young

Hughes of New Jersey asked Senator
Taylor about his musical accomplish
ments.
Haven't played fiddle for dozen
years." said the Tennesseean. That
fiddling story is all wrong. l haven't
touched a bow for years.
Maybe you play the violin, then?'
ventured Hughes.
"Oh, / never even saw one of those
darned things" retorted the senator.

endeavored to quiz small boy re-

was the ready response.
But what is your duty toward your

"Oh, to keep an eye on 'im," replied
the boy cautiously.
Keep an eye on him? What for?"
Just to see that he doesn't take

confident answer.

A STRONG CANDIDATE

Recognized as one of the most able, intelligent and impartial justices of the southwest, Hinson Thomas will un- doubtedly lead the ticket at the coming election.
 In fact, his strength and fitness were so generally recognized that the repub- hcan party hesitated in making nomi- nation for this office, but there was a determination on the part of controll- ing few to place a full ticket in the field and timber was found willing to stand for the slaughter.
 Mir. Thomas record as what might be termed subordinate jurist is an un- broken chain of successes. There are very few instances on record where he has been reversed by the higher courts. In fact itigants seek this court as a money saving proposition, realizing that the Thomas opinion will be the opinion in the higher courts, and they rest their cases there, abiding by the de- cision and saving the expense of trial in the district court. Judge Thomas, familiar with the tongues of a number of foreign countries, has saved the coun- ty thousands of dollars by eliminating the expense of an interpreter.
 He is not only jurist of more than ordinary ability and integrity, but a gentleman who enjoys the confidence and respect of the entire community. He has resided in the territory for about forty years and has an unblem- ished reputation. Lawyers throughout the city are Justice Thomas most en- tusiastic and ardent advocates.

pEBs NOT REALLY RUNNING.

Mir. Eugene Victor Debs admits that he is not qualified, temperamentally or otherwise, for the presidency, and would yield his leadership willingly to some other warrior of his political beliefs were there even slight chance of win ming. As the matter stands, however, Mir. Debs thinks he is the right man in the right place, and will keep up his pleading until election day, to retire at that time undismayed and ready to come again if necessary.
 MT. Debs refuses to take himself too seriously. He has whimsical sense of humor, apparently, and doubtless man. ages to get more real, genuine fun out of the campaign than any of his oppon- ents. His famous "Red Special" has caught the public eye; his quaint and curious promulgations serve to keep him in the peoples mind good part of the time; and his candid assurance that he doesn t know where he is going, but is strenuously on his way is refreshing, to say the very least of it.
 In the matter of raising campaign fund, Mir. Debs seems to have ''put it all over'' his rivals. He is rattling good speaker, and dresses his spellbind- ing in most fetching English. He knows how to tell funny story, and-oh, rare virtue-appreciates a joke on him. self quite as much as one on the other fellow. Consequently, he draws crowds wherever he goes--and, best of all, from his point of view, the individuals who go to make up his audiences cheer fully pay from Is to 25 cents to hear him.
 Wherefore, it appears that Mir. Debs is having the time of his life and get ting the most possible from his unique situation. He is his own campaign man. ager and publicity bureau. He finances his own game, and makes public his col lections as he goes trippingly along. There will be no bitterness of defeat for him, because he doesn't expect to get anywhere in particular, and will have no campaign promises to fulfill after it is all over.
 We were not at all surprised to hear that 10000 people packed themselves into Faneuil Hall in Boston a few nights since to hear him speak; neither were we surprised to hear, further, that thous- ands more wanted to hear him but couldn't get in. He evidently makes himself entertaining--in short, he's a
