DANCER IN MONEY

A New Jersey woman is suffering from blood poisoning, caused by handling sgerm-i infected money. The wonder is that such cases are not more numer
 -ous, fer surely a great number of per sons are very careless in the handling of money, some going so foolishly far as to 7put silver and bills in the mouth. When we consider the fact that the New Jer
 ssey woman ill question caught the dread disease by rubbing her cheek with her ahand, the awful danger which patrons of most barber shops undergo is readily apparent; for the average barber will change a bill, or some silver, and inn mediately afterward father a customer s face Common sense should teach peo- pie not to. hold money with the teeth; tbus a law, requiring the proprietors of barber shops, lunch rooms, soda foun- asains, and 30 forth, to either hire clerks to make change, or else compel all em- -ployees to thoroughly disinfect their hands every time they handle money during the performance Of their duties, 4zhould be passed by state legislatures.

Sunday, August 29th, will mark the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Oliver Wendell Holmes, He was born in Cambridge, Mass, which, during the last century, was the home of so many immortal bards.
 While it is chiefly as a poet that we know Holmes, his poetry was largely by-product of his life. For 35 years he was professor of anatomy in the Harvard Medical school and much of the time engaged in the practice of medicine. He also studied extensively abroad.
 At the top of this column we today print short poem by this heaven-in- spired singer.

Not that,-the palm-tree's rustling leaf Brought from parching coral-reef! Its breath Is heated;-I would swing The broad gray plumes, the eagles wing. \ hate these roses feverish blood!- Pluck. me half blown lily-bud,
 A long -stemmed lily from the lake, Gold as coiling water-snake. Rain me sweet odors on the air,
 And wheel me up my Indian chair, Aad-sprsad some book not overwise gElat out before my sleepy eyes.
 Who knows 1t not-this dead recoll Of weary flores stretched with toil,- The pulse that f1utters faint and low When Summers seething breezss blow !! 50 Nature! bare thy loving breast, And give thy child one hour of rsst,-. <One little hour to lie unseen Beneath thy scarf of leafy green! So, ourtained by a singing pine, It's murmuring voice shall blend with
 mine,
 "Tili, lost in dreams, my faltering lay En sweeter muslc dies away.

GOOD AND BAD FEATURES

The year 1909 is proving 8 record 2breaking automobile year, but unfortu- nAtsly these records are not all for the good of the people. Automobiling has ~been evolving these many moons, but at sshe present time more machines are be- 3ng universally used and greater practi .cal, everyday endurance stunts are be- xng made than eyer before. The world Is being revolutionized, to large extent, 25y the Twentieth Century "bsnzine buggy" as our friend, Hubbard, would %oall Gt. When it is considered that the Egyptian government is to establish a @motor car line for the transportation of produce and merchandise to those sec xsions of the Soudan not served by rail roads, and that American manufacturers and department store kings, generally, zars utilizing autos for trucking and de- livery purposes, the wonderful strides that are being made by the horseless vehicle are at once apparent. So much for the progress of the auto.
 The worst feature of automobile life to-day is what is known as ''joy riding" that species of mad and reckless driving,
 which is all too prevalent throughout the < country, from the Kennebec to the Rio Grande and from St.. Augustine to Seat tie. Unless drastic steps are taken to prevent the auto maniac from persisting ' in this wholesale slaughter of humans, the number of victims that meet death from this source will be exceeded only by that large army that is yearly sacri- zicsd to the railroads of the land. The Automobile Club of America has taken official steps to secure a uniform speed aaw, and for this it is to be commended; but of what practical benefit would a universal law governing the speed of automobiles be, if chauffeur could still
 suscher and main man, woman, or sshiId at any time, anywhere, just as As does now, and escape by paying 8 1ns of few paltry dollars? A univer- sad speed law? Yes, but more When a reckless driver injures or kills, send him to prison for several years, or for life-let <there be no alternative i'll the form of fine. Thus would the list of fatalities be materially decreased.

 Several workmen, under the direction of contractor k. R. Lorraine, are engaged in making extensive repairs in the store of Bullock & Felten, Canaan's enter prising merchants. These dealers have such an extensive stock of general merchandise, from groceries and furni- ture to dry goods, and crockery, that they must needs have more space. A large stairway has been cut in the center of the front store and this will connect with a sales room about 28 by 2S feet, which is now being finished. A NEWS" reporter yesterday made a tour of the Bullock & Felten establishment Large as there present quarters are, they are greatly cramped for room. Their gen sral store is literally packed with mer- chandiss and grocries, downstairs, main floor, upstairs and attic, and they find it necessary to fill large store house, in the rear, with an overflow stock Messers Bullock & Felten really neel about thrice the store room they now have.

Thomas D. Stewart, 8 former coal dealer of Pittsburg, but at present the head of private detective agency ill the smoky city, recently went to Chicago with man who had promised to guide him to the hiding place of notorious criminal, for whom reward of $5,OOO was said to be out. Arriving in the "windy" village at night, Stewart ana his wOuld-be informant took the same room at downtown hotel. When the Pittsburger awoke next morning, he quickly proved his ability by executing some really wonderful and wholly un- expected detective work-he first de- tected that the man had disappeared (Just how he made this deduction we are not told; but. like the Nick Carter that he was, he probably pulled up the bed sheet and peered between that and the mattress; whereat, seeing no human being, he doubtless took a peek under the dresser and still failed to find the person for whom he was hunting; after all of which he probably soliloqulzed something ill this wise: 1.-The man was here last night, and he is not here now; wherefore, it is evident that he must be gone.'O Following up the clew, he made the further brilliant discovery that his money and jewelry, to the value of $500, had evaporated. Great detec- tive work, wasn't it? Stewart is emi- nently qualified to be the head of detec- tive agency, isn't he? Reads just like Sherlock Holmes, doesn't it?-it's so different.

When Mrs. Hall asked the clerk for marriage license, her 62-year old son, party of the deed, said that his mother was of legal age. She may be of legal age, but she IS also old enough to know better. But heigh-ho, what's the difference P these aged persons are no more likely to regret their step than any other couple that marries, be their ages anywhere from 16 to 116; for you can never tell till you try, you know.
