GETTING THROUGH THE
REVOLVING P. 0. DOORS

Editor, Spokane Press-At a
mere glance one does not imagine
what very interesting time can
be spent watching people pass
through the revolving doors in the
postoffice building. For the ma
jority it is as easy as the ordinary
swing dor; with the minority 1t 10
ever a source of amusement or op-
portunity to exhibit lack of COM
mon sense or case of "rattles."
The most common sight is to see
two persons go through together J,
the same compartment, and 1t Is In
variable the women who do 1t.
They either. cannot stop their con-
versation that short period of time
or are afraid Of losing each other.
The comical sight of three stout
women trying to go through togeth-
er the other afternoon was worth
going a long way to see. The first
two foolishly crowded into one
compartment, and at the last mo-
ment the third, perhaps fearing she
would never meet her dear friends
again. sprang in the disappearing
compartment. Then began such q
series of vertical hops. stepping
on of toes, as few people have
ever witnessed and those whose.
privilege it was to see this Pc
culiar performance were convulsed
with laughter. and for a moment 1t
appeared as If they had blocked the
pedestrian traffic. But kindly
old gentleman stepped in the COM
partment behind them and pushed
while they jumped, finally emerg
ing with hair down and bonnets at
a 60 degree dip.
Then comes the women who at
tempt to get a go-cart through,
against the better judgment of her
better half.
There is also a lazy element, and
that Is generally one of the sterner
sex: He wears a sour look upon
his face and goes through without
any trouble for himself, allowing
the person going in the opposite d.
rection to, dc. all. the pushing.
No matter how many people they
see go through in the right way,
some few people will attempt to
push the doris in the wrong direc-
tion.
Every so often some young row.
dy goes through like a whirlwind.
This thoughtless trick has narrow
ly missed injuring people just at
tempting to step in the door.
For some folks it takes a good
deal of nerve to go through if the
door happens to be turning. They
make several false starts as though
1t was an ice cold shower bath,

FRENCH SHY
ON POSTAGE
misunderstanding Causes Loss to
American Recipients of Letters

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. Ii
The postoffice department reports
that recipients of mail from France
are being put to extraordinary ex-
pense through the misinterpreta-
ton by the citizens of that republic
of the recent changes in the inter
national postal rate between the
United States and Great Britain
and Germany. They have the idea
that the reduction applies to
France as well. AS a result. every
letter coming from France to the
United States bearing the equiva
lent of two cents postage has to be
assessed six cents, double the def
icit in hostages. before it can be
delivered to the addressee.
One firm In Washington which
conducts large International busi-
ness has been compelled to pay as
much as 500 a week in excess post
age. The department has taken up
the matter with the French postal
authorities.

HIGHER FLAG FOR TAFT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Here-
after when President Taft goes
forth as commander-in-chie of the
army he will have flga mounted
more in keeping with his avoirdu-
pOis. War department officials to-
day decreed an arrangement more
symmetrical.
Instead of being fastened on a
pike ten feet long, the pike will be
II feet in length. In addition, the
eagle that stands alert on the globe
that adorns the top of the pike is
to give way to a taller bird. In
stead of standing four inches high
the new presidential eagle is to
measure 5ss inches. The globe Is
to be reduced from 3 to 2 inches
In diameter.

THAT FOOL AND THAT
WOMAN

God it's all over. I've been a fool. y
Warmer HAD been a fool. He
made his prayer to Mrs. Ford. But
she was "The Woman Who Did Not
Care"
The career of this woman reads
like romance. A romance of love
life, lust, death, intrigue, suicide
and blackmail.
To begin at the beginning, Mrs.
Ford was Jeanette Timmonds, liv-
ing in the southern part of Ohio.
She had just finished her course in
fashionable boarding school in
Cincinnati when her father died,
leaving her, an orphan. with some
sS5 900. She was in her teens. Her
world was Cincinnati and there she
continued to live. She met BILLY"
Ford 10 years ago. and she claims
her eldest child is his. The fact
that she married Ford's brother
gives an idea of her resourceful-
ness.
Ford secured a divorce. The
woman met Edgar Street Cooke,
young, goodlooking, prosperous.
Cooke had a beautiful wife and
two sons. A struggle has been
waged all these years between Mrs.
Cooke and Mrs. Ford for first place
in Cookies heart. ~
Warmer was with Cooke In the
Big Four office Cooke told WaiTi-
ner of his troubles and of his fasci-
nation by Mrs. Ford. "You co."
said Warmer; "get away from her
and III see that things are all right
in the office"
Cooke told the woman, and he
also told her that the books didn't
balance with the cash. Then he
went to Chicago to escape her. She
was quick to meet this crisis. She
simply used the knowledge of the
business trouble to extort money
and yet more money from Warmer
and she used this money in her
mad pursuit of Cooke
She demanded money from one
and love from the other.
In his cell Warmer told me
that nearly 100000 had gone
through his hands to the woman.
but you say in your statement
to the Big Four that you only
gave her S1S,000?"
We'll, you see, when | first was
questioned | was Hurried. But
now l can see and remember. 1t
was much more"
Whether it was $4,000 or
100000, matters little to War
riner. He simply says, ITS all
over"
When Prosecutor Fricke turned
to Cooke In Chicago for light on
the trail of the woman, itSwas Mrs.
Cooke who showed her husband the
way to Mrs. Fords exposure.
She broke down and wept. give
been fighting for my husbands
love for 10 years." she told
Fricke. Then it was that Cooke
barred his breast and showed the
scar of q bullet. Mrs. Ford fired
that shot In a New York hotel"
he said. Then, too. for the first
time the fight that Mrs. Cooke
had made was won.
when will it end?' they are
asking now.
Out on bail, Mrs. Ford is liv.
ing here In luxurious apartments,
saying nothing, seeing nobody. ex-

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 3o.-A
heated controversy over the relative
merits Of their respective govern
ments between a Japanese and an
Alaskan Eskimo, led to desperate
battle between the two on doard the
revenue cutter McCulloch, where
both are employed. The Jap taunted
the Eskimo with being the son Of
aagless nation. The fight lasted several
hours, before the combatants were
separated by the captain Of the cut
ter. Although the Eskimo was nearly
exhausted he pleaded with the cap
tain to be allowed TO continue until
he vindicated his right to claim Of
citizenship. The Japanese was badly
battered, and his punishment was
added to by a fine Of half months

The Pure Food Law.

Secretary Wilson says, "One Of the
objects Of the law is to inform the
consumer of the presence Of certain
harmful drugs in medicines" The
law requires that the amount Of chic
roform, opium, morphine, and other
habit forming drugs be stated on the
label Of each bottle. The manufac-
turers Of Chamberlains cough remedy
have always claimed that their rene
dy did not contain any Of these drugs,
and the truth Of this claim is now
fully proven, as no mention Of them
is made on the label. This remedy Is
not only one Of the safest, but one Of
the best in use for coughs and colds.
