section name and fame for their
PROVERBS in every line of sport, vic
tories of the turf, champions of the

of Harold Iddings, a former graduate
of this school, who at the Central AS
ISOLATION A. A. w. champion meet,
held at Bartlett gymnasium last night,
and as a member of the First Regi-
ment squad, broke the worlds pole
vault record, setting a new indoor
mark of IL feet 7% inches. Thus the
credit and whole honor attaches itself
to the victory can be laid directly to
the annual county high school field day
events, for it is here that most of our
promising material made their first
public appearance. contesting for
honors for their respective schools and.
although. perhaps. feet inches or 10
feet was considered high mark in the
pole vault and generally carried away
the honors, it was at these events such
athletes as Iddings. Glover, Miller, Sohl
and many others got their first impetus
to become world champions.

The Most Forqetful Man.

Exchange: A minister's wife, q doc
tors wife, and a travelling mans wife
met one day recently, and were talking
about the forgetfulness of their hus-
bands. The minister's wife thought
her husband was the most forgetful
man living, because he would forget
his notes and no n could make out
what he was trying to preach about:
The doctors wife thought her husband
was the more %forgetful still, for he
would often start out to see n patient
and would forget his medicine case and
travel nine miles for nothing. Well"
said the travelling mans wife. my
husband beats that. He came home
the other day and patted me on the
cheek and said: i believe I have seen
your face before-what Is your manner ."

Philadelphia Ledger: A we'll known
Chicago merchant was once asked to
talk to the boys of a business school.
He prefaced his address by a few ex-
tempore remarks.
Boys" said he. "as I approached the
entrance to this school room I observed
on the panel Of the door a word most
appropriate to an institution of this
kind. That one word expresses the
quality most useful to the average boy
when he steps into the field OF business.
Can you tell me what it is2"
Pull" shouted several Of the pupils,
with a burst of laughter, while the hor-
rified merchant recognized that he had
taken his text from h wrong side of
the door.

One on leslie M. Shaw.

An Iowa representative tells a story
OF the campaign which resulted in
the election of Leslie NJ. Shaw to the
governorshIp of that state. BY n Of
those complications that make all po-
litics a confusion to the ordinary citi-
zen, Mr.. Shaw lost his own county,
although he was elected by a large
majority.
In Mr.. Shaw's town there was an
Irish shoemaker named Mulligan, who
had always made and repaired the
statesman's shoes. One morning after
election Mr.. Shaw had occasion to visit
Mulligan's shop.
Il congratulate We, governor" said
Mulligan, as MI. Shaw entered.
well" said Shaw, Pm glad to be
elected, but Mulltgan. I'm sorry to
have lost my home county"
Mulligan vouchsafed no reply, but
hammered vigorously at the work in
hand. The governor, noting this
strange silence, added:
You see, Mulligan, it's a hard thing
to have your own home go against
you"
Still was Mulligan silent, a circum-
stance that enlisted Mr.. Shaw's in
tense interest. What would you say
Mulligan, when a man loses the coun-
ty in which he lives?"
A democratic CLEAN came into the
eye OF Mulligan. "Phat wud OF say,
governor? All OF could say is that it's
q bad thing you didn't live in livery
county in the shtate."

al reading class was called, and a
bright little fellow rose, and in a mono
tone drawIed through a paragraph
about q massacre in the time of Nero.
"Ah, uni" interrupted the chairman:
''Will you please let that little boy read
hat verse AGAIN."
The paragraph was given again pre-
cisely as before.
"Ah. uni" exclaimed the wise man,
smiling like a pleased chimpanzee;
"why do you pronounce that word
This youngster hung his head and
made no reply.

cree continued the chairman, benign
ly.
There was a painful silence for a mo-
ment; then the teacher meekly said:

is mine. / think, If that word is mis-
pronounced, / have told the class to
pronounce is ~'massa-ker.'"

Il believe that Webster, who compiled

n~unciation."

well that is a matter easily settled.
Here is a copy of Webster's una
bridged. Suppose we refer to it"
The education committee chairman
seized the dictionary and hurriedly
turned to the word. For a momen his
face was a study. Then he removed
his glasses. wiped them on a red silk
handkerchief and, replacing them, said
most solemnly:
Mr.. webster should have made such o
mistake as that"

WILL BUILD GREAT
HIGHWAY IN ROCKIES
Movement Launched for Road
From Yellowstone Park to
Grand Canon. ~

Denver, Special: Some OF the most prom
inent men in the West have signihed their
Intentions to become identified with the
movement to build a great interstate high
way through the Rockies from the Yellow
stone National park to the Grand canon,
In Arizona. The movement was started
some time ago by the leading members
of the real estate exchange, but its formal
launching was deferred until yesterday,
when those most closely associated with
the project met at the Traffic club and
perfected a permanent organization.
General William J. Palmer, the veteran
railroad builder OF Colorado Springs, n
one OF the leading public spirited men
Of the West, was chosen to head the
movement and was elected president.
Charles A.. Johnson, OF this city, a mem
Der of the real estate firm Of Lyons 81
Johnson, was chosen first vice president
and Thomas +. Walsh was elected as
second vice president. Alva Adams was
chosen third vice president and Harold
KountZe was elected treasurer. h board
OF directors will not be announced until
the members signify their willingness to-
serve, but IL will be made up of promi-
nent men of the four states interested In
The movement.
The association proposes to awaken q
strong sentiment In municipalities, coun-

roads in every direction and to secure an
appropriation from congress to build a
highway through the Rocky mountains
for q distance of 1000 miles at an esti-
mated cost of $4,000 per mile. The pro-
posed highway would run from q con-
nection with the government highways
through the Yellowstone National park
through Wyoming and Colorado, touching
the cliff dwelling regions, going through
a portion of southeastern Utah, into the
Navajo country and down the Grand
canon Of the Colorado river in Arizona
1t Is believed that such a highway would
open the grandest scenery in the world
and would at once make the West the
peer of Switzerland as an attraction to
tourists from all countries.
A committee on ways and means n
composed of Charles A. Johnson. chair
man: F. J. Chamberlain, John Brisben
Walker and j. 8. Flower, was recently
appointed to draw up plans looking to,
the forming of the Rock Mountain High
way association, and its report was SUBJ
mitted at the meeting held yesterday.

Found Coffee Caused Hands to

reparable damage to the patient.
When he found that coffee drinking
caused. his hands to tremble, an Ills.
surgeon c~onscientiously gave 1t up and
this Is his story.
For years / was a coffee drinker
until my nervous system was nearly
broken down, my hands trembled so l
could hardly write, and insomnia tor.
tured me at night.
Besides, how could l safely perform
operations with unsteady hands, using
knives and instruments of precision?
When / saw plainly the bad effects OF
coffee, | decided to stop it, and three
years ago I prepared some Postum, of
which I had received a sample.
The first cupful surprised me. 1t
was mild, soothing, delicious. At this
time / gave some Postum to q friend
who was In q similar condition to mine,
from the use of coffee.
"A few days after, 1 met him and he
was full OF praise for Postum, declar-
Ing he would never return to coffee but
stick to Postum. We then ordered a
full supply and within a short time my
nervousness and consequent trembling,
as well as insomnia, disappeared, blood
circulation became normal, no dizziness
nor heat flashes.
MY friend became a Postum enthu-
siast, mis- whole family using it ex-
clusively.
1T would be the fault Of the one
who brewed the Postum, If 1t did not
taste good when served.
The best food may be spoiled If not

Stamp Recalls Leaend.

From the Kansas City star.
Switzerland has issued a new series
of postage stamps, one Of which pos
sesses unique interest. The subject of
this is little Henric, the son Of VIII
liam Tell. the m~arvelously accurate
cross-bowman OF Burglen. The story
is familiar to all.
Tell was at the fair at Altdorf and
was arrested by the men OF GessIer,
the cruel governor of the canton OF
Uri, who suspected the cross-bowman
of d~isloyalty. Little Henric had been
persuaded to run away to the fair by
his mlschievous cousin Philip, and the
latter offered al indiscreetly public
insult to the. emblem of authority that
Gessler had erected in the market
place.
Philip escaped, but Henric was
seized, and Gessler promised Tell his
freedom If he would shoot an apple off
the boys head. Otherwise he would
be slain. Tell thereupon directed Cess
Ter to kill him as he would not take
the chance of injuring the lad.
But the governor declared that II
Tell did not try to do as he was bid
both father and son would be slain
determined in his wicked purpose Tell
selected two arrows. One he thrust
in his girdle and the other he fitted to
his bow.
The apple mad been placed on the
boys head, and the father turned and
faced him. There vas an instant of
suspense, then the sharp twang OF
the bowstring, and the apple was
fairly pierced by the arrow. Tell had
saved his boys life and his own.
Gessler, thwarted in his purpose,
turned to Tell and asked why he had
placed the extra arrow in his girdle,
and the c~rossbowman replied:
For thee, tyrant! My next mark
would have been thy bosom, had I
failed in my first" '.....
The new Swiss stamp shows Henric
armed with his fathers crossbow and
with the arrow-pierced apple in his
hand. The other stamp Of the
series shows Helvetia with the Alps
