Boys Essay on Clothing.

Here is an extract from an essay
written by boy in a London school:
Clothing is an article which every
body should wear. The least of this
article is worn by savages or natives,
which is a piece of cloth or a few
leaves OF feathers round the waist. in
cold countries, same as Eskimos, the
people wear more clothes than we do.
count of the icy cold out there. They
can skate all the year round, except.
about one thaw there is in summer.
If they walked about like natives they
would catch cold directly and die of
bronkitis. We put clothes on which
are nearly like our bodies, some have.
caps, coats and trousers, but women
and girls wear hats and frocks to tell
who they are"

Washington, D. C.-Attorney Cen

ago Robert ]. Tracewell, the comptrol-
Ter of the treasury, an officer who is
the final arbiter of all questions in

"Mr. Wickersham," said he, 81 have

opinion here that is all wrong and for
which there is no precedent"
Wickersham took the typewriter
copy of the opinion in his hands, and,
as he perused it, his face took on a
grim smile.
ooh, see," he remarked, slowly; IT
am the damn fool who wrote it."
And the story goes that the at
torney-general was so much impress
sed with the comptroller's views that
he modified the opinion.

NEBRASKA AVIATOR WEEDS
ulrleh Sorensen, Who Dropped $500
Feet In Aeroplane, Promises Bride
to Renounce Ambition.

Broken Bow, Neb.-The ranks OF in
ventors devoted to the conquest Of the
air lost one daring member Thursday
when Ulrich Sorensen, of Berwyn, ten
miles east of here, was married to the
daughter of a wealthy farmer of that
vicinity. Sorensen won fame on June
10 last by going up $500 feet in bal
loon and coming down in an aeroplane
of his own construction.
Instead of gliding gently to the
earth, the aeroplane descended in a
series of somersaults and was de-
molished although the aviator was not
seriously hurt.
Sorensen has since that time been
at work trying to perfect his invention
but he now declares that at the re-
quest of his bride he has renowned
his ambition and will devote his
energies to less spectacular pursuits.

invalid.
The physician in charge shrewdly
suspected that coffee was the Worm

it discontinued with instructions to-
use Postum regularly in its place.

the true remedy for his stomach and

how wise his Judgment was.

ing" 10 Finished and Further

New York City.-Federal pros
ecutors added another important
chapter to the extensive investigation
of alleged frauds in the customs SER
vice. While new evidence was being
presented to the federal grand jury
with the purpose of obtaining more
indictments, Thomas G. Giddings, an
assistant customs weigher, was ar
rested on a charge Of conspiracy in
connection with the importation Of
figs.
Shortly before this, William Loeb
Jr., collector of the port, announced
that he had removed ten more as
sistant weighers, making a total Of
eighty-three men who have been drop
ped from the customs service here
since March 8.
Mr.. Loeb said these removals would
complete the "house-cleaning" which
he has been carrying on since he as
sumed office. No further shake-ups of
any consequence, for the present at
least, are in anticipation.
Giddings was arrested on an indict-
ment charging conspiracy to effect an
entry at the customs-house on two
lots of figs consigned to Pasaki Bros,
importers, from Greece, at less than
their true weight.
Mr. Loeb said in the matter of the
latest ten men dropped that he would
not proceed against them in any
criminal action. He also refused to
give the names of the men turned
out:
Asked about the ten dropped, he
said:
There are no charges filed against
them. They have just been dropped,
that is all. could not very well pro-
coed against them. I would have to
prove the charges legally. In some
cases there was evidence to convince
me for their unfitness for duty and

WashiVgton.-Th Nicaraguan In
surgents are now engaged in what Is
expected to be the final grapple with
the Zelayan forces, according TO UNI
official advices, reaching Salvador
Castrillo, the representative here
Of the Nicaraguan insurrectionary
forces. The advices indicate that
fighting is in progress both at Rama
and Greytown, and that a general as

The arms and ammunition landed
early this week from the Norwegian
steamer Utstein are believed now to
be in the hands Of the insurrecuon-
lists and prompt use OF them by Es-
trada's forces is expected. Senior Sas-
trillo pointed out that 1t would re-
Quire less than three days to trans
port the munitions fro Bluefelds,
where the Utsteln landed them, to
Rama. and that as soon as his COM
patriots were supplied immediate con-
flict with the government troops was
inevitable.
The department Of state declared 1t
had received no advices Of any kind
from Nicaragua All inquiries as to
the landing of marines on Nicaraguan
territory were met with evasive re-
plies, but these were such as to give
rise to the belief that some force has
been put ashore to protect American
interests and to reconnoiter. Just
how large this force may be or how
long it may be intended to be kept
there could not even be guessed.

A communication from President

Wednesday by E. Mejia, Salvadorean

that trouble existed there. Reports of
