A TYpewrltlna Point.

when in anything typewriter you
see the periods and commas punched
black and deep" said an experienced
typewriter, you may know that the
work was done by beginner or by
one who had not yet done sufficient
THE reason for the deep punching
of the punctuation points is very
simple. Naturally enough the beginI
ner at typewriting plays upon all the
keys with equal force, but as the
types attached to the keys present
unequal amounts of printing surface
1t follows that equal force applied to
all the keys results in more or less
unequal printing on the paper.
For instance, a certain amount of
force applied to the B key might pro-
duce of that type a fair impression
on the paper, but the same force ap-
piled to a period might drive that, a
mere point, clean through the paper.
In fact, it is not unusual for begin
ers on the typewriter TO punch holes
in the paper with their periods.
But as the learner progresses in
her art she comes TO realize that
some types must be touched more
lightly than others and gradually her
periods become less black and deep,
and with further practice she comes
instinctiyely, automatically. to grade
her touch on all the letters and signs
until at last she is able to produce
typewrlting that is nothing less than
artistic in effect. true and uniform
and beautiful.
1T is something fine to see. the
good work of the intelligent, sensi-
tive and truly competent typewriter"

Astor, made the announcement. that
Beechwood, the summer home OF Mrs.
Astor, at Newport, would not be OPP
oned, and this led to the discovery
that Mrs. Astor was in poor health.
Word came later from Mrs. Astor
while she was in Paris saying that
she would open her Newport villa and
that she would make the season there
one of tho gayest in years. The
promise was not fulfilled, however,
for when Mrs. Astor returned from
abroad she broke down in Boston
and had to return to New York. She
had remained at her home ever since.
The society functions given and
presided over by Mrs. Astor have
gone down into the history as the
most brilliant on record. 1t is said
that the ballroom in the mansion on
Fifth avenue would accommodate
I 900 people. 1t was Mrs. Astor
who established the famous Four
Hundred, her visiting list being con
fined to that number Of names. in
1906, however, Mrs Astor was said
to have nlet down the bars" when
she invited 1000 persons TO one of
the most memorable social events
ever given in New York. Mrs. Ast-
or received her guests at these gath
erings seated in a high backed chair
beneath portrait of herself painted
by Carolus Duran. The Astor jew
els were worn by Mrs. Astor on these
occasions. It Is said the Astor en-
eralds are the finest in the world.
William Astor, who died in Paris,
in 1892, took little part in the social
activities his wife enjoyed. Mrs. AS
tor before marriage was Miss Caro-
line Schermerhorn, a daughter h
Abraham Schermerhorn, a well known
merchant. She was married
to william Astor on September %,
1853.
John Jacob Astor was their only
son. There were four daughters, two
of them, Mrs. Oglivie Haig, and Mrs.
Orme Wilson, are now living. The
eldest daughter, MISS Emily Astor,
who married ]. j. Van Allen, died
some years ago az did Miss Helen
Astor, who married James Roosevelt

Calling him to her side she said:
"Now, dear, mamma has a nice red
apple to give you, and she wants you

Mamma, what do you mean by be-

"oh, dear, that means you are to

Johnnie was silent. Suddenly his

WORK DONE BY TnE BEAVER.
Ability to Cut Timber and Handle Il
Busiest on Moonlight Nights.

5uoiest on Moonlight Nights.
1t is wonderful what large piece
OF wood a beaver will move, says a
writer in outdoor Life. | have fre.
quently seen cuttings of cottonwood
large enough for fence posts that had
been moved over level ground and
through underbrush to water several
hundred feet away.
III timber Is cut on bank where q
down grade can be had all the way
to the streams much larger pieces
Will be moved Beavers are very
skilful wood choppers and seldom fail
to fell tree in the right direction;
that, Is, with the butts all POINTING
toward the trail to the stream, and
never failing the top of one tree In
to the top Of another.
Smooth trails are always made
from the scene Of operations on lane
to the water and all of the material
is carried over them. IF the cuttinp
happens to be on side hill above the
stream slide not unlike that some
times used by lumbermen will be
made.
The cutting Of the large growth
stun is mainly done In the fall and
winter; willows, small poplars ana
cottonwoods being used In the spring
and summer. After getting down the
larger trees the branches are all cut
OFF and made into lengths suitable
for transporting and taken to the
water, after which the trunk Is cut ur
and as much of II removed as pos
sible.
The bark Of these pieces, which
with the twigs form the pricipal item
OF food, is all gnawed off in the
water or at the houses. The barked
sticks are then used in repairing or
strengthening the dams or stacked on
top of the house
Beavers generally work on moon
light nights only, and scarcely ever
In the daytime, though they may
sometimes be seen making repairs on
a dam when It needs Immediate atteR,
tion.
Contrary TO the general opinion
the beaver does not always build a
house for himself, being content very
often with a burrow in the bank OF
the stream. As Is the case with the
houses the entrance to burrow is
under water, though sometimes there
Is an opening from the surface
through which brush and sticks are
carried for their food supply.

seem to be generally dug in the banks

make the building Of dams easy and

beaver who has been driven out BY
his fellows for some cause or othN
Is very likely to make such home in
the bunk of a stream.

To THE PEN

Elijah Harmon, colored, and Fan
ME Britain, his dusky affinity
whom he won away from her hus-
band, William Britain, a white
man, pleaded guilty to Judge
Huneke this morning and each was
given a sentence of from one to
five years in the penitentiary. The
Brittains originally were always
having trouble. She had William
incarcerated in the county Jail for
80 days because she proved he
threatened to whip her and was
afraid his anger would go beyond
bonis and he would kill her. Dur
ing Williams durance she met
Elijah.
When William came out of the
county bastile he caught Elijah and
his wife together and pretty near
ly tore down the lodging house
where they were living. Then his
wife had him pinched again and
he is now doing another 80 days.

Here a Cyclone
Story From Texas

WACO, Tex, May Sc. F..
Turner of Hamilton county. said:
II was riding horseback across
the country Thursday.
AT about $50 p. m. I was a
few miles from Clifton. when
cyclone chasing me and | galloped
away from it as fast as my horse
could carry me. Presently | found
that II had passed me. and sat on
the brow of hill and watched its
course. 1t was carrying along much
debris and when 1t struck the Bos-
que river 1t sucked up all the
water, leaving the bed of the river
practically empty. 1t crossed the
Bosque obliquely and the water 1t
took out Of the bed of the stream
was carried upward in a colcmn
which appeared to me to be about
500 feet high.
"The most remarkable part OF
this phenomenon was the fact that
1t had torn up by the roots big
tree and the tree was on top of the
comm Of water, waving like a
plume. When the column of water
broke the tree went sailing on and
fell about half mile from where
1t was tafen up"

RIP TARIFF

WASHINGTON, d. c., May s.
If Sen. LaFollette's health returns

he will deliver tariff speech in
which he will take unusual
grounds. Just prior to leaving the
senate for the sickbed LaFollette
introduced tariff commission
measure providing for a strictly
non-rartisan commission on which
large business interests and COM
munities should be properly repre-
scented. He proposed that the COM
mission should be paid high
salaries, be permanent and have
the whole subject of tariff sched-
ules turned over to it. This would
virtually operate to take the Office
out OF politics.
In support Of the measure, 1t is

just lately landed in town and has
not lived here for a long time. It

Rockwell today denied that he

wouldn't serve IL elected.
Asked If he intended to quit the
con yressional race, he said that he
intended to pull out ahead Of the
bunch, beat them all under the
wire. AS the situation stands, he
looks like a good bet for fourth
place. Ills friends have about
given up hope of inducing him to
withdraw to save Mead in this part
of the country. They perceive that
it Is Rockwell. Rockwell is figuring

But for the courtesy of d. T.
Ham the Spokesman-Review boom
for Frank T. Post as delegate to
the national convention might have
suffered heavy jolt last night In
Belmont precinct, where both Ham
and Post reside. Post might not
have been nominated for delegate
to the county convention had not
Ham himself placed his name be-
fore the caucus.
HAMS name heads the list Of
nominees from this precinct.
In comparison to this sort OF
treatment is the charge that
names of various nominees who
were thought to be favorable to
Ham were left off the list. They
will reappear, however, at the
primaries Thursday 1t surely looks
bad already for the Post prospects.
There are six delegates to be
elected in that precinct and Post
is eighth on the list. Mayor Moore
is the eleventh.
For some reason which has not
been explained the caucuses in
several precincts amounted to
nothing. In Cleveland somebody
concluded to hold the caucus else
where than in the regular polling
place and not all the electors there
were appraised of the change. State
Senator Harry Rosenhaupt was
among those who couldn't find a
place to vote. Similar conditions
prevailed in Cliff precinct.
A rumor that attracted lot Of
attention because of it's possible
bearing on the congressional race,
