The Truthful Story Of Z Ship Struck

"In Duluth down on the docks some
days ago some fresh water Ancient
Mariners were talking OF adventures

steamship man. "'Captain H. said

where that your vessel was nee struck

"'Yep. twice. said Captain n. Hap.

"'No. sir. The water began rushIn'

there came a second dash, and q bolt

SYMPTOMS OF RABIES.
Signs BY Which You May kns~ When
Z DOG 10 Really Mad.

Z Dog ls Really Mad.
Hydrophobia Is SO rare and terrifying
that its symptoms and treatment are
little understood. As q matter Of. fact.
the commonly accepted expression OF
madness in a dog Is often misleading.
The real mad dog does not shun wa.
ter, as 1t Is said. On the contrary.
mad dogs often rush to the water and
drink II eagerly. II they are able tn
swallow. The mad dog does not froth
ct the mouth. 1t does not run amuck.
snapping at everything In fits path.
What then. are the Indications Of thu
mad dog? To those familiar With :
given. deg the surest syrnptom and the
one which should excite closest atten-
tion Is a distinct dhd unaccountable
change in the dogs disposition, a staid
dog becoming excitable and q risky
one dull. That condition does not nee
essarfly mean rabies. but 1t u sus.
picious. and If in addition the dog has
trouble In swallowing, as though It
seemed to have a bone In its throat,
beware! That dog should be instantly
tied up, because II 1t be rabies 1t takes
but a day or two for ferocious In
stincts to develop. The unmistakabls
evidence, however, of a dog with
rabies Is the sticky, whitish saliva
which cover the teeth and shows on
the drawn lips. The eyes glare and
r red; the dog has paroxysms Of run
ming fury, during which 1t barks
hoarsely, which alternate with periods
of temporary exhaustion. - Caspar
Whitney in Outing.

Men are never SO modest as when
they go to use a dictionary" remarked
an attendant at the public library.
AS a rule, when you see a man 60 to
a public dictionary or one In any place
where other people are around you'll
see him look about furtively as II In
fear somebody might see him. Men
who make no pretensions at having
any great amount Of knowledge never
theless seem to be embarrassed to
have any n think that they do not
know the pronunciation or meaning of
some English word. The next time
you see a man looking up 4 word in
the dictionary just ask him what 1t Is
he is looking up and see II he will tell
you. You'll find in at least nine cases
out Of ten that he won't tell you. He's
afraid you'll know 1t and have the fun
Of enlightening him."-Cleveiand Plain

NEW COMPANY MAY

THE QUINN PLANT AT GADSDEN IS SAID TO BE IN GOOD CONDl- TON FOR oPERATlON-TRU EES FULFILLING CONTRACT.

Gadsden, June 19.-(Special.)-Th trus- tees appointed by the court to operate the Quinn furnace plant in order to convert the raw material on hand into finished product for the benefit of the creditors, have about carried out their instructions and the plant will probably shut down in two weeks until it is sold and the new owners can put it back into operation. The results of the run by the trustees have been very satisfactory and the furnace is said to be in good shape to go ahead and make money. The demand for charcoal iron is good and it is quite probable that a local company will take over the plant and run it.

THE KAISER TELLS
 GOOD GHOST STORY

Potsdam, June 13.-The Kaiser told this true ghost story at recent stag party in the Neues Palais between sips of Bavarian beer.
 Tt happened to my friend, the late Baron Von Helldorf." said the Emperor When a young army officer he was re- turning one night from a banquet and riding alone through a thick forest It was so dark that the baron gave the rein to the horse, trusting that the an final would find it's way alone. Sud- denly the horse stopped, breathing hard and trehbling At the same time a thunder storm broke and a flash of lightning Illuminating the scene for a moment showed that a coffin lay right across the road.
 "'rhe baron urged his horse to jump but he would not. There came another flash of lightning and by it's light he saw that the coffin was still there, but that the lid had lifted and it's ghostly occupant was peering out. Tine baron was so frightened that he tremhied as much his horse. At that moment the corpse nodded and said: Sorry to have frightened your horse, MT. LieN- tenant. but l am the carpenter from the village.
 ''1t seems that the carpenter had q hurry order for a coffin and finishing it late at night started to carry it to it's destination. Becoming tired the car penter put down the coffin in the road and stretched himself out in it for a snooze. The horse awakened him by his stamping and the rest you know"

ENGLAND TO WAR
 ON COCKNEY TALK
PURE SPEECH LEAGUE IS FORMED WITH VIEW TO REFORMING THE MOTHER ToNGUE-MR. SHAW IS THE CHIEF FIGHTER.

London, June 13.-Professor Brandis re- not English is amply confirmed If one listens to the average Cockney murderlng his mother tongue. The Cockney atroci- ties have lately come up for discussion in the newspapers, apropos of the founda- ton at Hornsey, North London suburb, of Pure Speech league
 George Bernard Shaw is one of the most strenuous opponents of Cockney speech, which he has attempted to trans late into print as it is really spoken. He declares that even society people say "dahn tahn' for down town and "cowcow'' for cocoa.
 The long q in words like dance and glass is characteristic of Londoners of every class but a true Cockney pro- nounces the words something like "dahrnee'' and ''glahrss"
 Many quaint specimens of Cockney' English are quoted in the campaign against Cockneyism. Here is one: 'Biby's nime's times, pllne Jimes.' Substitute a for i and you see what was meant.
 A leading barrister in the London courts was heard to say to witness: "Dijjer sye yo sawr i'm in the lne?"-a question which the witness, being a Cockney himself, was able to translate as Did you say you saw him in the lane?"
 An alderman of the city of London, who lived in the suburb of Highgate, said to a cabinet minister: Dye think 'Ighgit pretty?' When the statesman replied that he had not noticed any change in the alderman's s appearance, the latter. bewil- dered, said: I'm not talking about my self. l said Ighgit."
 In English public schools most of the attention is devoted to Latin and Greek. In American colleges English takes the first place in language studies. The stu dents are taught the pronunciation of Anglo-Saxon and middle-English, and modern English is taught to them as q matter of course. Constant attention de- voted to the phonetic history of words does, of itself, encourage precision and ncety in the use of those words as em- ploved tO6aV

Crime Increasing In France.

Paris, June 13.-Owing to the increase of violent and horrible crimes in France and the action of many juries throughout the country in passing resolutions in fa- vor of the retention of the death penalty parliament has decided to prepare for reconsideration of the proposal to abolish the death penalty. Although never legally abolished, the use of the gulotine has virtually been suppressed for several years, parliament having refused ever, year to make an appropriation for the payment of executioners and the President of the republic regularly committing death sentences to life imprisonment
