DANGEROUS Enough.

Rear Admiral Mason, chief Of the
governments bureau of ordinance,
talked Of martial inventions at recent
dinner in Washington.
MANY Of these inventors" he said,
with their automatic torpedoes, their
new explosives and what-not, fail to
take into account the danger to the
users of their inventions. They are
like the farmer and the bull.
"a farmer was driving a bull along a
fairly busy country road.

Keokuk, Jan. 2.-The disappearance
Of DR.. George w. Jones is still keenly

mysterious disappearance street gos-

Gus but these do not bring relief to
anxious relatives (rather bring added
sorrow) or find the missing man.
DR.. George w. Jones or he would re-
turn to the home he liked so we'll, to
the mother he loved, and TO the ex-
tensive practice that he created thru
years of hard toll and by virtue of his
exceptional ability.
just what has happened to this
prominent and well-liked citizen and
professional man is indeed mysterious
and everything possible is being done
to locate him. DIR. Jones left Keokuk
one week ago last evening to make
professional visit at Fairfield. He
never reached his destination. He
was last seen in Burlington, Thurs

no one has been found who has seen
the doctor.
1t is hoped that DIR. Jones has not
met with foul play and it is also hoped

] Ms actions that he Will soon be located
and returned to relatives and friends
who would gladly minister to his wants

he joked and talked at the depot the

Burlington when in company with

A reward of $500 has been offered
for information which will lead to the

he picked a rose.
"That has the real old time SMELL"
he said as he held it to his nose
"Sweetbriers are good, and | don't go
back on 'em, but they amt got the
fran these fellers have"
Bud in hand, he walked beneath Miss
Mattie's windows, and he was the
first thing her eye fell upon.
Her startled exclamation made him
look up before she had time TO with
draw.
"Helo, therer' he called joyfully.
"How do you open up this day? You
look pretty WELL" he added, with note
of admiration. Miss Matte had the
wavy hair which is never in better
order than when left to its own de-
vices. Her idea of couture was not
the most becoming that could have
been selected, as she felt that a
''young" style of hairdressing was
foolish for single woman of her
years. Now, with the pretty soft hair
flying. her eyes still humid with sleep
and a touch of color In her face from
the surprise, relieved against the fleecy
shawl she had thrown about her shout
ders, she was incontestably both dis
Greet and pretty picture. Yet Miss
Matte could not forget the bare feet
and nightgown, although they were
hidden from masculine eyes by wood
and plaster, and she was embarrassed.
Still, with all the supersensitive fan
cies, Miss Matte had a strong back
bone of New England common sense.
She answered that she felt very well
indeed and, to cover any awkward
ness, inquired what he had in his
hand.
"Good old rose" replied Red "Old
time smeller-better suited to you than
to me-ketchr'
At the word he tossed It, and Miss
Matte caught 1t dexterously. Red had
an exceedingly keen eye for some
things, and he noticed the certainty
OF the action. He hated fumblers. "A
person can do things right II they've
got minds that work." was one Of his
pet sayings. "'Taint the muscles at
all; it's In the head, and like the kind
Of head that's In use al the time"
Therefore this small affair made an
impression on him.
'swhy, you could be a baseball play
Or" said he.
II used to play with Joe when l
was girl" said Miss Matte, smiling.
II always liked boys play better than
I did girls. Joe taught me how to
throw ball too. He said he wouldn't
play with me unless I learned not to
scoop It, girl fashion. suppose you

was hint of sarcasm in the doubt Of

Humorous Chinese Graft.

A certain Chinese taotai (magistrate)
having told his men to have two ingots
of gold sent to his treasury for pur-
chase, the shopmen brought them in
and in answer to the query of the tao
tai told him that the price was so much
In taels, but added, This is the or
binary price. but fo'i your honor we
will knock off one-half of the price"
Then the taotal said to his underlings:
Seeing that they are to sell to me at
only one-half price, just give them
back one ingot Of gold and put the
other In my treasury, and thus their
account is settled. Goodby." So the
underllngs Of the yamen did so. but
still the shopmen hung around wait
Ing. The taotai asked them why they
were waiting, when their account had
been already settled. Said the shop
men, when did your honor pay your
humble servantsT Then the magis-
trate answered with very fierce air:
'Taio nu ts-ai'. Qmpertinent slaves),
did you not say that these two gold
ingots were half price to me? Then
did / not give you back one ingot and
keep the other and thus settle your &C
count without the least injustice &C
