last twenty-four hours. Rains continue in
the extreme upper Missouri valley this

extreme northwest and Canadian provinces.
The rains OF last night we're very heavy al
points in eastern Nebraska, and heavy
SHOWS are reported in the central and west
ern portions of the state. A fall OF BIZ

ALMOST HUMAN MACHINE.

Remarkable Claims Made For Stamp
Vending Contrivanee.
+. 81. Brinkerhoff, an inventor Of
Sedalia, Mo-, went to Washington re-
Gently to try to persuade the postofice
department to consider favorably his
stamp vending machine. He says that
his machine has decided human tend
encies and inclinations because 1t
makes a profit Of cent on every
transaction rf
The machine, with twenty-five 9TH
ers, has been inspected by a special
committee appointed by the postmas-
ter general. It does fifty different
things, such as selling postage stamps
in any sum desired, making the proper
change, weighing and counting money,
discarding spurious, defective or for
eign coins and about everything that
could possibly arise In transaction Of
this nature. If you want money chang
ed and do not desire to purchase
stamps, this machine will gladly ac-
commodate you, but 1t charges cent
for the favor. This fee it consistently
deducts from the amount placed In the
slot.

IRISH BEAUTY AN AMERICAN.

Moi,ie Brady, of an Irish Fair, Lives In
Jersey and Never Saw Erin.
1 It came out the other day that Miss
Mary Brady, aged seventeen. of 33
East Forty-frst street. Bayonne. n. j..
a grandniece Of ex.Mayor Thomas Bra
dy of that city. was "Mollie Brady, the
Irish queen" at the recent Irish fair
at Madison Square Garden, New York.
Miss Brady said, with a smile, that
while she was visiting the fair Mrs.
Elizabeth O'Reilly Neville asked her
to take care Of her booth for a few
minutes. While she was in charge
some reporters came along and decid-
ed she was the prettiest girl Ireland
had sent over to the fair. Pat Pow
ers, Miss Brady said, decided not to
correct this impression. and a full
page. with pictures of Miss Brady, in
a New York Sunday newspaper fol-
lowed.
Miss Brady attends the Bayonne
high school. Mrs. Neville said she
would take whatever blame there
might be for the deception. She was
pleased that an American girl should
have been selected as the most beauti-
full at the fair.
So far as is known in Bayonne, she
never visited Ireland.

THE ART OF GARGLING.
Not the Same Thing az the Process
Usually Followed.

Not the Same Thing az the Process
Usually Followed. 8
The proper method of gargling is
thus described by a writer in the Med
ical Record:
''The patient Cat first under the guild
ance Of physician should sit well
back in chair, take swallow Of wa
ter in the mouth and bend the head as
far back as possible
"Now he must protrude the tongue
from the mouth (the tip Of the tongue
may be grasped with handkerchief)
and in this posture with protruding
tongue he must try to swallow the wa
ter. The physician should control the
patients vain efforts, for it is impossi-
BILE to swallow under such circum-
stances.
'The patient has the sensation as If
he actually had swallowed the water
Now he must start to gargle, to exhale
air slowly. One can see plainly the
bubbling of the fluid in the wide open
pharynx.
"After gargling thus for awhile the
patient is ordered to. close the mouth
and quickly throw head and body for
ward. Thereby all the fluid is forced
through the choanoe and nostrils,
washing the throat and nose from be-
hind and expelling all the accumula-
lions that had been present with great
force.
This should be repeated several
times, as the first trial is not always
successful and satisfactory. It is an
act that must be learned.
when properly executed the sensa-
ton, as the patient will assure you, is
that of great relief not had by any
other method. It will be wise for the
practitioner to try the method first on
himself. Even small children who are
at all clever learn the method readily
and rather enjoy it."

said Colonel Isaac 81. Marrow Of To-

Joke on q Preside ntial PossibiIit,

Joke on q Presidential Possibility.
Congressman j. Sloat Fassett of New
York, who attended the Lincoln day
banquet in Pittsburg. sprang joke on
the newspaper men the other after
noon. In spite Of the fact that it had
whiskers, it made a hit. Fassett In
discussing presidential possibilities de-
clared that the people Of New York
want Charles Evans Hughes for pres
ident. ~
But what IL Hughes cannot get the
nomination. he was asked.
Well, that's another question he
answered. 1T reminds me Of Lord
Dundreary's story. He asked wom-
an If her brother Charlie liked cheese,
and she replied that she had no broth
er Charlie Y
well, said Lord Dundreary, IL you
had brother Charlie, do you think he
would like cheeseY So that is the
best answer can give to your ques-
ton about Hughes"

Jewels Outside Your Furs.

A new fashion set by Mrs. Stuyve-
SAINT Fish interested the tea drinkers
in the Plaza hotel, In New York, the
other afternoon. Mrs. Fish arrived at
the Fifty eighth street entrance of the
Plaza when the rooms were thronged.
She wore long cloak of broadtail
fastened by a diamond ornament Of
great size. Except for these gems
there was no dash of color to relieve
the costume. In fash this innova-
don had sunk deep into the hearts Of
other women. and the way in which
jewels were quickly shifted after Mrs.
Fish had been seen seemed to indicate
that in future gems will not hide their
light under fur cloaks.

States commissioner Of pensions under
President Grant and one Of the first
women in the movement for equal po-

civil war broke out she was living with
her parents in the village OF Lombard,
now q suburb Of Chicago, and was
chosen to present to the boys Of the
Lombard company silk flag which the
women of the place had made with
their own fair hands.
The literary woman of the village
had written for the occasion beauti-
full presentation speech, in which the
soldiers Were adjured to take the fair
flag into which your wives, daughters
and sweethearts have sewed fond hopes
and fearful prayers for your safe re-
turn, carry it through the smoke and
shell Of battle free from the stain of
dishonor and the rents Of defeat and

set my teeth, stepped decisively for

spoke. Every word Of that speech had
left me, but knew what it meant.

desperate voice that must have been
heard to the utmost confines of the
crowd, here's your flag! Don't get it
dirty! Don't tear it! And be sure to
bring it backr
"a shout rose from that crowd such
as no orator before or since has ever
evoked from a crowd in those parts.

the shoulders Of two soldiers, while
the whole company pressed about me,
with waving hats, and my father was
leaning over toward me from the back
Of his big horse and calling me his

alliance of the interests and sympa-
thies which exist between us.
mo other federation in the world
possesses so many features of likiness
to that of the United States as does
the commonwealth of Australia and
doubt whether any two people
could be found who are in nearer
touch with each other and are like
ly to benefit more by anything than
that which tends to knit their rela-
lions more closely.
t'The Australian ports and port
ais would be wide open to your ships
and men, and it would be a matter
of great qualification If the president
could see his way to direct that the
wishes of this government be met
in the matter.
1T is with a view Of enabling your
government to have time to consider
this proposal which may be made by
cable that I am now communicating
with you. Relying on your friendly
offices to insure the most favorable
reception possible to this invitation,
which have momentous and far
reaching consequences, / am, Yours
faithfully, Alfred Deakin."

Five Belgian police dogs are doing patrol
duty In New York CITY


Five Belgian police dogs are doing patrol
duty in New York city.l
With each foot in a rubber soled boot.
Once burglar went out after loot.
Drills and jimmies he iugged,
And tomcat he Rugged
Meath the coat of his hand-me-down suit.
A police dog imported from Ghent
In pursuit Of the bold burglar went.
And he gave loud yelp,
Meaning, "1ere he is-helpg
just as soon as his nose struck the scent.
Did the burglar get as limp as rag
And resort to revolver and gag?
No. He merely Missed "Scat!'
To his big Thomas cat
And then coolly walked OF with the swag.
When the roundsman rushed up in fierce
glee
Not trace OF the thief could he see.
But the four legged cop"
Near the burglarfzed shop,
Had the big Thomas cat up tree!
