SUGAR as a pIslnfectant.

In many parts of Europe it is Gus
tomary among the people to burn sug-
ar in sick rooms-a practice which is
considered by physicians as an inno-
cent superstition, neither beneficial
nor harmful.
Professor Trilbert of the Pasteur In
stitute at Paris has, however demon
strated recently that burning sugar
develops formic acetylene-hydrogen-
one of the most powerful antiseptic
gases known. Five grains of sugar
(77.16 gains) were burned under a
glass bell holding 10 quarts. After
the vapor had cooled, bacilli Of typhus
tuberculosis, cholera, smallpox, etc,
were placed in the bell in open glass
tubes, and within half an hour all the
microbes were dead.
II sugar is burned in a closed YES
sci containing purified meat the often
sive odor disappears at once The
popular faith in the disinfecting quail
ties of burnt sugar appears, therefore,
to be we'll founded.

..HOTMER'S SHORTAGE.

Briarly was not surprised when the
First National closed with the brief
announcement that Ned Hotmer had
absconded with the cash. Apparent
ly Briarly had been prepared for the
happening, and II told you SOS"
were plentiful.
For month or more ugly rumors
had been circulated. No one knew
whence they came. None of the sto-
ries could be definitely traced back to
the original source. Persons only
vaguely remembered that some one
had said that "a certain party" was
making altogether too free with the
banks funds. Sometimes stock
gambling was mentioned, and again
it was horse racing, but always there
was the sinister suggestion that the
bank funds were being tempered
with.
The depositors had grown uneasy.
at the increasing defniteness of the
rumors and had been about to ask for
an examination, when Hotmer had
anticipated their action by abscond-
ing with what little was left of the
banks reserve.
The banks doors closed down and
the gossips proceeded to recite weird
stories that did more credit to their
imagination than to their veracity.
Had Hotmer been guilty of all the in
discretion charged against him he
must have lived double mans al
lotted three score and ten, whereas
Hotmer was merely a good looking
chap of thirty-two. His great offense
had been that he loved Cora Cam
eron, the daughter of the president
OF the bank, rather than any of the
other eligible young women il the
little town. Each mother had angled
for the CATCH" but now each was
loudly proclaiming her Joy in the fact
that she had broken off the growing
infatuation between Hotmer and "my
Helen" or whatever the girls name
might be.
They were rather sorry that Cora
was out of town, spending a month
with a school friend in the West.
They wanted to see how she, who had
been so proud of Hotmer, would take
the blow.
In truth Cora was taking it very
badly. She had grown very fond Of
Hotmer He had not declared his
love, and the thought that she had
lavished unclaimed love, however
sweet, on a man unworthy, was bitter
indeed to her. Her father wrote only
a brief letter telling her not to worry,
but she took the defalcation very
much to heart, and when, week or
so after the crash, she spied Hotmer
coming toward her with a smile of
greeting she turned her head and
would have passed on had he not
grasped her arm.
why won't you speak, Cora2" he
demanded. Didn't your father write
to you not to worry-that the bank
was all right?"
Little thanks to YOU" she cried,
''Poor daddy! The bank was his
great pride and yon have laid it low
/ didn't think that you could do it.
Eddie"
There is an explanation" he be-
gan, but Cora, waved him aside.

THE VoLr-FoLK.


In a kingdom all their own,
Where the monster engines groan,

Where the belted wheels, awhir,
All the rafter echoes stir,
And the tides of rill and stream
Flow-to pound and purr and steam
There the Voolfolk. legions strong,
Live and delve, the seasons long.
Their light feet are never still;
Guided by the master will

swift and wide their footsteps fare
Through the city's crowded streets
Where the tide Of traffic beats
geckoned by the peoples need
There the unseen armies speed
And with hands that never tire
ICarrlage-coil or humTning wire
Dsing as potent rein)
Drive the car and cart and train.
Countless pulses own their will:
When their agencies grow still
Traffic halts, and commerce fails
News lies fettered--crime assails
And escapes; all sluggish creep
Tides that in Trades arteries leap
When is turned the master-key
Setting the strong Volt-hosts free.
On, as day to day is spun.
Ilreless still, they meet and run
Run and bear. with neutral will
Heraldries of good and i'll
Through their tunnels in the sky
Whilst the people passing by
Underneath the metal thread
Freighted with their silent tread
Know not till the goal is won
And their secret mission done
If nations victory reads
In the tale their errand speeds,
Or, to-day, country's woe
Gathers as their tidings go.
Large as now their proves swells-
Yet wider kingdom dwells
In the promise of day
Waiting on their distant way.
Castled here in common walls
Ere another century falls
They shall mold a new-faced earth
Stored miracles give birth
Conquer realms Of sea and air
Lay new truths of science bare
That shall make earth's widening schem
Strange-to match a. wizard dream;
Marvels of Aladdin's tale
Make a promise. trite and pale.
And the wonders time shall view
Seem a fairy-tale come true

San Francisco, Cal, Oct. 1S-Jack
Johnson is running wild and the only
man that figures to tame the negro IS
on the ocean waves battling against
seasickness and Inconsistencies. Jim
Jeffries is rushing to America as fast
as steam can take him. The sooner

chel as though the middleweight cham
pion had been but an amateur asking

the benefit of the moving pictures, and
having fulfilled this obligation. he
whipped the Assassin" in less than
two rounds.
Outside of Jenries there isn't a man
in the game today who even could
make a respectable showing against
the wonderful negro. Johnson is a big
man in big puddle and. what is more
he knows it. The call of the stage WI,

Ketchel looked like a lamb being led
to slaughter as he was helped by his
manager and seconds down the aisle of
the Colma arena. Something akin to
this feeling must have been surging in
Ketchers brain. Whether it was from
sheer nervousness bordering on the
hysterical. whether he was overcome
by the demonstration of the immense
crowd in his favor, or whether he was
thinking of the sure defeat that await
ed him, 1t is hard to tell. but the fact
remains that Ketchel cried in his corner
before the fght-sobbed like a child
| with a broken heart.
This exhibition lasted but a scant
half minute. when Ketchel wiped his
tears with the stubby leather thumbs
of his boxing gloves and prepared for
! the uneven struggle.
