I'm order TO give WilliamsDort his am
nuai soak in the face.
Is Mr.. Carpenter going TO pcnalize
the other clubs? Docs he presume TO
say he believes that the other are un-
dor the salary limit? Does he pre-
sumo TO say he believes that Trenton,
HARRISBURG Altoona, Reading, Lam
caster and Johnstown are under the
limit? We hardly think him that
gullible. What is he going TO do about
f.?
The Tri-state rules for 1909 have
not found their way into this Office
but there is probably in them some
right to appeal from Car Carpenters
rulings and Williamsport should not
pass over the new injustice i'm at
tempting To penalize the club for vio-
lating a salary rule which did not go
into effect until after the man in
question had been laid or.
If Mr., Carpenter wants to be fair
why does he pick on Wilnamsport
each year for something Of this kind?
why don't he have Williamsport for
/ felt a few to Altoona? II would holp
the sliding Mountaineers back to the
top.
Harrisburg seems to have made the
complaint in this case. Just read

The Sun says:
Carpenter exceeded his authority by
such a large margin that It Is eN-
tremelv doubtful whether the direc
tors Of the league viii back him up in
IT. In the first place he acted with
out making the slightest Investigation,
taking the word Of Heckert a man
whose foxiness is we'll known, and In
the second place throwing the games
TO York There is no reason why he
should not have forfeited an games
played by the locals and there is no
reason why he should have forfeited
any. The joke OF the matter is that
he forfeited one game before the sal
AIRY limit went into effect and another
when Crane was not member Of the
club,

II has been said that Williamsport
would rather drop out Of the league
than submit 70 such an unjust ruins
as has been made by Carpenter and

You can eat anything your stomach

food will ferment or sour on your
stomach If you will occasionally take
little Diaspepsin after eating.
Your meals will taste good, and
anything you eat will be digested /;
nothing can ferment or turn into acid
or poison or stomach gas, which
causes Belching, Dizziness, a feeling

Headaches from the stomach are

stomach can't. Each triangule will
digest all the food you can eat and
leave nothing to ferment or sour.
Get a large 50-cent case Of Pape's
Diapepsin from your druggist and
start taking today and by tomorrow
you will actually brag about your
healthy, strong stomach, for you then
can eat anything and everything you

be carried away without the use OF
laxatiyes or any other assistance.

Inland Waterways.

Every American citizen should
read the last report of the Inland
Waterways Commission. 1t contains
much information bearing upon the
future prosperity of the country. As
has been shown recently that the
improvement of American roads
would result in great increase in the
income of the farmer by reducing
the cost of transportation of his pro-
ducts to market, so doubtless would
the inland waterway improvements
be one of the most remarkable econo-
mics in transportation that could be
effected. 1t is estimated that if the
work of the waterway Improvement
should be so planned as to involve
the expenditure of fifty millions Il
year for a period of ten years, the
net result would save annually not
less than two hundred and fifty mill
ions in The cost of transportation
the prevention of flood damage TO the
extent of one hundred and fifty mill
ions; the savings of twenty-five mill
ions in forest fires and of seventy-five
millions in cheapened water power
and in increase in farm productive
ness of not less than five hundred
millions. The figures read like fairy
tale, for the estimate is that there
would be gain in these economies
each year that the plan was in work
ing order, of twenty times as much
as the original expenditure. One
feature of the plan that has been out
lined is the impounding of immense
reservoirs in different localities. The
water impounded here could be used
for power purposes and also to reg
ulate the flow of small streams dur
ing the dry seasons, as well as to i'm
prove the navigable condition Of
rivers.

THE C0CKET WRITERS.
What Happened When England AboI-
ished Their Offices.


In the long room Of the London GUS
tom house years ago were twelve Off
GERS styled "cOcket writer's" They
wrote certificates that goods had been
duly entered and the duties paid They
were also known as patent officers be-
cause appointed for life by letters pat
ent from the crown. Their salaries
were nominal EGO year, but they
were permitted to remunerate them
selves by extorting fees from the mer.
chants-fees which in some cases
amounted to thousand pounds
year. In 1851 the treasury determined
to abolish patent offices and called
upon the twelve cocket writer's to fur
nish statement of their emoluments.
The officers. ignorant Of the treasury's
ment intended to impose an incom
tax. Ten of the writer's. therefore, re-
turned statement which understated
their fees by several hundred pounds
The other two furnished an homes
statement. In few days ten clerks
were surprised and disguised and two
clerks were astonished, but pleased.
The treasury notified the cocket writ
ers that their offices would be abo-
ished and that they would be compeA
stated by pensions rated according to
the returns they had themselves fur
nished. There were gnashing Of teeth
and broad smiles In the long room

lSHMAELS OF CEYL0N.
The Rodigas, q Curious Tribe of So
cial Outcasts.

The Rodigas, q Curious Tribe OF So
oiaI outeasts.
There is curious tribe of people In
Ceylon called the Rodigas, who live
the life Of social Ishmaels, despised
and cast out by their fellows. Until
quite recently they lived apart from
the abodes of other men, in holes and
caves. In no case may they lie down
to rest with other men. They may not
enter temple or court of justice
and on all occasions are compelled to
stand afar off," So low down In the
scale Of humanity are they placed that
they may not even speak with stran-
gers except through the intermediary
Of a man Of the lowest caste above
their own. OF late years their status
has been improved, and they are less
servile In consequence, but even now
they fall on their knees with uplifted
hands to address people of the lowest
recognized caste, and upon the APP
prOach Of a traveller they shout to
warn him to stop until they can get off
the road and he can pass without risk
Of defilement from the proximity of
their persons. 1t is curious and yet so
characteristic of society in all coun-
tries and all levels that even among
these people, who seem to have reached
the very lowest rung Of the human lad
der, there are classes and social dis
tinctions. Thus the ambetteyos. or
BARRIERS, and the hanomoreyos, or betal
box makers, are looked upon with con-
tempt by the despised, ostracized Rodi-
gas. who go to the length Of shutting
up their dogs lest they should stray
into the houses of the lowborn or
gnaw a bone that they may throw at
them.-Dundee Advertiser.

LITERARY NOTES.
What is to be Found in the Febru
airy Number of the Popular
Magazines.

DR.. G. Stanley Hall, so we'll known
for his trenchent paragraphs about
education, is no less wonderful in his
dramatic phases than usual in an
intensely interesting article in The
Housekeeper for February. The
title is, How Can We Make the
Average Public School Good
School," The article is one of a
series on public school conditions by
well known authorities.
In an article entitled "A Substi-
tute for Matrimony" in the February
Womans Home Companion, Anna
Steese Richardson proves conclusive
ly that the majority of business girls
of today do not marry because the
men they might marry do not earn
as much money as they do. Mrs.
Richardson speaks with authority
she has a greater experience than
perhaps any other woman in Amer
lea.
The February number of the
Ladies' World has cover by Char
lotte Weber-Ditzler, which is one of
the most attractive we have seen,

Big Audience is Delighted.

1t was announced and expected
that the production of paid in Full
would be one of the finest things in
the theatrical line ever seen in De-
corah, and consequently in spite of
the very inclement weather the
Grand opera house was well filled
on Thursday night. 1t is putting it
mildly to say that none were disap-
pointed. The production was in
every particular the equal of any
thing ever seen in DEBORAH, and
ouch as seldom seen outside of the
big city theatres. With a small cast
of thoroughly capable actors, a
strong play, complete equipment
of scenic and electrical effects, cos
tunes, ETC., the combination was so
effective that at each dropping of the
curtain the applause of the audience
demanded that it be raised repeated
ly. The performance was everything
that has been claimed for it, and
more.

The Eleur-de-lIa.

The origin and therefore the full
heraldic meaning Of the feur-de-lis is
disputed. By some the emblem is sup
posed to represent lily, by others the
iron head of some weapon, presumably
lance. From the claims put forth by
English sovereigns to certain princi-
palities in France, gained by inner
itance or marriage, the French royal
coat appeared as a quartering in the
English royal arms, but 1t was abol-
ished by George w.

vivisection.

Experiments on living animals were
made by Galen "a. d. 175) and by the
Greek Alexandrian school and were
regarded as valuable source Of
knowledge until the breakup of the
Roman empire. In modern times vivi-
section may be said to have begun
with the experiments Of DR.. William
Harvey Q65S and Dr. John Hunter

less generally practiced since the be-
ginning Of the nineteenth century.
