HUMAN QUALITIES.

According to This Writer, Women

Havelock Ellis in his study of ''the
most interesting beings in the world"
namely, men and women-formulates
organ of the body or quality Of any
kind that Is not unlike in the sexes.
A man is man even to his thumbs,
and woman is woman down to her
little toes. Let man, with his vaunted
superiority in everything. cultivate a
proper feeling of his real standing in
view of Mr.. Ellis statement that wo-
men "are unquestionably superior in
general tactile sensibility and probably
superior in the discrimination of
tastes" with Ito be perfectly Impair
tab no advantage either way in the
other senses, but they have better men,
cries, read more rapidly, bear pain bet
ter, recover better from wounds and
serious illnesses, are less changed by
old age. live longer and have relatively
larger brains. especially in the frontal
regions. Women. to put 1t in a few
words, are more civilized than men.
On the other hand, Mr.. Ellis finds
men are slower in mind, with greater
strength Of body Cthey are two. three
and four times as strong as women),
quicker in movement, with much
greater lung capacity, more blood cor.

that he has some recommendations OF
Importance to submit to the president
and Gen. Wright for their approval.
When Mr.. Bishop sails for Panama
next Monday from New York, he I'M
doubtedly will carry with him COM
plete instructions.
When questioned regarding a report
from Panama which stated that the
people there believed that the ulti-
mate result of American operations
on the isthmus would be the seizure
by the United States of the Republic
of Panama, Secretary Bishop said that
the alarm, If any was felt. was absurd.
Gen. Wright has nothing to say con-
corning the conference with the pres
ident on Panama. He said that he
probably would talk with the president
on the dismissal of the cadets from
West Point.
| Clifford Pinchot came to see the pres
ident regarding the work of the ma
tional conservation commission in
| which the president is so greatly inter
ested. Secretary Loeb departed this
afternoon on his months vacation.

STATES THAT MARION COUNTY
COMMISSIONER DID MAKE A DE-
POST BUT IT WAS ALL HON
EST MONEY.
THE DEFENSE DENIES 1T.

Indianapolis, Ind, August 1.-Martin
M. Hugg made the opening statement
for the defense in the John McGregor
bribery case and several witnesses
were called to show the good reputa-
ton of the commissioner for honesty
and integrity about the time when
Emmett S. Higgins said McGregor
took share of $500 the Atlas En-
CINE works paid as a bribe.
The state proved by Hugh Dough
erty, president Of the Marion Trust
company, that McGregor, on the last
day Of April, 1907, deposited $500.
This was three days after the time
when Higgins stated he handed Nc
Gregor $S15 of the $500.
In his opening statement Hugg de-
clared the defense would show the
jury that this $500 was honest money.
The defense in the cross examina-
ton of Arthur w. Willcuts, who said
that as salesman for the Atlas com
pany he had paid Higgins $500
brought Willcuts to the admission that
he suspected at the time when Hug.
gins was negotiating for the $500
Higgins intended to keep it all, and
that he did not propose to give it tC
any one else.
The attorneys for the state attempt
ed to have this testimony stricken Out
of the record, but failed.

PAUU'S WALK.
A Favorite Promenade In the OLD
Days In London.

A Favorite Promenade In the Old
Days In London.
In the old days, especially during the
reigns of James l. and Charles l., the
nave of st. Paurs cathedral was popu-
larly known as "Pauls walk" because
it was the favorite promenade of wits,
gallants and fashionable idlers, who
met there to gather or retail the latest
news.
The nave and body Of a cathedral or
church were then regarded as much
less sacred than the chancel, and this
explains. If 1t does not excuse. the fact
that they were often given over to all
kinds Of profane and secular uses.
At st. Paul's there were stalls and
bazaars with crowds Of busy buyers
and sellers, giving it the appearance OF
a fair. Usurers occupied the south
aisle and horse dealers the north. max
ing it, as Evelyn called it, "a stable OF
horses and a den of thieves" Shake
speare makes Falstaff buy horse al
st. Pau's as he would at Smithfield.
Courts of justice were held and fu
neral banquets and churchwarden's
feasts were celebrated there, and. &C
cording to Stubs, traces of these
usages fingered on into the middle o.
the seventeenth century. - Londor

THE SWELLING TOAD.
Curious Points About This Oddly
Among Animals.

Curious Points About This Oddly
Among Animals.
The wonder of the genus batrachia
and the greatest natural history oddity
to be found along the Atlantic coast
of the United States is the swelling
toad, a semiaquatic creature known to
naturalists as bufomachalatus. 1t is
occasionally met with from New York
city to Jacksonville, Fla, but is most
common along the coasts of Virginia,
Maryland and North Carolina. When
in it's natural state the ''swell toad"
is about the size of large bullfrog,
but looks more like fish than it does
like either a frog or a toad. 1t is
about six inches in length and has the
curious faculty Of being able to swell
to the size of football. in which state
It's legs, tail and head are scarcely
visible.
Irritation appears to be the chief
factor in causing these curious crea-
lures to inhale air until they swell al
most to bursting. The bellies Of both
the males and females are nearly pure
white and are covered with spines
which give that portion of their anato.
my the appearance of a well rip
ened jimson bur. Persons who under
stand the swell toad" and know what
an irritable little rascal it Is catch il
and rub the spines on it's belly, when
1t swells up until it is utterly helpless
Another curious point about the crea
ture is that as long as it is kept or
its back it is unable to expel the air sc
as to reduce the swelling.

ONLY ONE APPARENT
CAUSE FOR SUICIDE
III Health Thought to Have
Worried Litzenberger.

New Castle, Ind, Aug. MANY
people from this and adjoining coun-
ties and cities yesterday attended the
funeral at Middletown, of Frank Litz-
enberger, whose lifeless body was
found in Fall Creek. south of Middle
town, Wednesday morning.
The funeral was held at the home
of Mrs. Litzenbergers foster parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Dutton. The re-
ligious services were conducted by the
Rev. J. A. Patterson and the Masons
had charge of the burial. The remains
were inferred in Miller Cemetery.
There seems now but one cause that
can be assigned for the suicide. 1t
seems Mr.. Litzenberger realized his
health was failing and that a physi.
cal breakdown was imminent. His
financial affairs are believed to be in
good condition.

Oyster Bay. N Y, August IA con

/ have near neighbor who is close
and intelligent observer of the ways of
wild animals and a truthful and re-
liable man. He says that on one oc-
casion he witnessed a fox chase in
Maryland standing on one side of n
very high hill, while the dogs and fox
were across deep gulch about half
way up the side of another high hill,
for a good deal Of the time in plain
view.
AS the chase proceeded he noticed a
second fox seated on log and appar-
emily interested in the outcome. After
some time, as the dogs were heard ap-
preaching, this fox ran down at right
angles to the direction they were com
ing and met the running fox and took
his place ahead Of the hounds, while
the tired animal sprang to one side
and trotted directly up the hill and
seated himself on the log for rest.
The fresh substitute then led the dogs
a lively chase for long circuit and
finally the pack again were heard ap
preaching. This time Fox No. 1 was
fresh and ready and ran down and
met his fatigued brother and put him
self before the dogs, while No.
went back to the log and took breath
ing spell. This proceeding was KEEP

the eyes of his worshipers in the morn

night. He has gods of rising, standing,

There are gods who preside at the
