Locations of Promotion.

Elzena, aged four, reveled in kinder garten lore and each day imparted to her young mother the many interest ing things that the sweet faced teach CT had told them. Among the vicis- situdes of school life to be encountered was that of vaccination, which was new to the little one. After much ex- plaining and reassuring this difficulty was safely passed. A few weeks later she returned one day from kinder garten in a whirl of excitement, ex- claiming: Mother, mother, I'm going to be promotedI Mother, will I be promoted on my arm or my legP'- New York Times.

ANGRY WORDS MARK SENATE
 PROCEEDING
Continued from First Page.)

(Continued from First Page) trying to answer testimony given by American manufacturers before the House Ways and Means committee. I do condemn their efforts to furnish in formation that should not be used in the present. under-valuation of import ed goods. My statement, however, about interference in our affairs, was applied to all governments and no reasonable man would believe that it was intended to affront the German government"
 Aldrich then said Senator Stone ap- peared as the accredited representative Of the German government. "The Senator says he thinks answered Stone, "that am in some way repre- senting the German government. I am an American Senator and his inti- nation is. to characterize it mildly, a gross impertinence."
 AJdrich asked Stone how he would regard the case if American produc- CTS had sent similar information to the German parliament. What do you think the Kaiser would say?" he add ed.
 ''If the German Foreign Office had asked our State Department for in formation and the request was com piled with, I do not think that any legislator in the German parliament would have denounced the action of this government is impertinent," re- piled Senator Stone. AIdrich express ed admiration for the German Emperor and the German people, and said that he had no intention of offending them.

A Kings Bank.

The practice of hiding money in all manner of out of the way corners is by no means modern. In the old days, according to "Gleanings After Time," secret receptacles were often made in the bedsteadS and contributed both to safety and romance. On Aug. 21, 14S5, Richard III. arrived at Leicester. His servants had preceded him with the running wardrobe, and in the best chamber of the Blue Boar a ponder ous four post bedstead was set up. It was richly carved, gilded and deco rated and had a double bottom of boards. Richard slept in it that night After his defeat and death on Bos- worth field it was stripped of its rich hangings, but the heavy and cumber- some bedstead was left at the Blue Boar. In the reign of Elizabeth, when the hostess was shaking the bed, she observed piece of gold of ancient coinage fall on the floor. This led to a careful examination, when the double bottom was discovered, upon lifting a portion of which the interior was found to be filled with gold, part coined in the reign of Richard III. and the rest of earlier times.

The Land1ord,. Prayer.

In a prayer book of the time of King Edward VI. of England appears the following prayer for landlords: "eThe earth is thine, O Lord, and all that is contained therein, notwithstanding thou hast given possession of it to the children of men to pass over the time of their short pilgrimage in this vale of misery. We heartily pray thee to send thy holy spirit into the hearts of those that possess the grounds, pastures and dwelling places of the earth, that they, remembering themselves to be thy ten ants, may not rack nor stretch out the rents of their houses and lands nor yet take unreasonable fines and incomes after the manner of covetous world lings, but so let them out to others that the inhabitants thereof may both be able tp pay the rents and also hon. estly to live and nourish their families and relieve the poor. Give them grace also to consider that they are but strangers and pilgrims in this world"

Naming a Kansas River.

Practically all the streams in Kansas were named by Indians and carry those names to this day, though in an Angli- cized form.
 The Neosho, the largest stream in southeast Kansas, has its own little story. The Osage Indians at one time lived in Missouri, and when they began talking of trading their lands in that state and moving to southern Kansas a party was sent out to look the country over and make a report on it. It was in the summer time and very hot and dry. Coming over the prairie northeast of Humboldt, they had a long way to travel without water.
 "When they arrived at the river,''' said an Oswego man, Gan Indian rode down the sloping bank into the water. But, to his surprise, the horse stepped right off into deep water, and the horse and Indian went in all over. As the aborigine clambefed back on the bank he muttered, 'Wugh Neosho' This in plain English means water pocket, or water hole, and the name clung to the stream ever afterward."-Hutchi News.

Living the Simple Life.

A number of men gathered in the smoking car of a train from Little Rock to another point in Arkansas were talking of the food best calcu- lated to sustain health.
 One Arkansan, a stout, forid man, with short gray hair and a self satis- fled air, was holding forth in great style.
 Look at me-" he exclaimed-'never a days sickness in my life, and all due to simple food! Why, gents, from the time I was twenty to when I reached forty years I lived a regular life None of these effeminate delica- cies for me, no late hours! Every day, summer and winter, I went to bed at 9; got up at 5; lived principally on corned beef and corn bread; work ed hard, gents, worked hard, from 8 to l; then dinner, plain dinner, then an hours exercise and them

Fe.r of Prem.ture euri.I.

The fear of premature burial, which prompted the late Lord Burton to di- rect by his will that his heart should be removed from his body, has caused many well known men and women to order a surgical operation to be per formed upon their bodies. Harriet Martineau left her doctor f1O to am- putate her head, and Lady Burton di- rected that her heart should be pierced with a needle. The late Edmund Yates left instructions that his jugular vein should be severed, with a provi- sion that fee of 20 guineas should be paid for the purpose. Literary persons appear to have been particularly afraid of premature burial. Bishop Berkeley, Lord Lytton, Hans Ander- sen and Wilkfe Collins all took meas ures to protect themselves from it, Westminster Gazette.

His Musical Ear.

It isn't always best to brag about your gifts. Out on one of the boule- yards lives a man who lays claims to a musical ear and plays little on the piano. Frequently he has criticised his wife for what he called her inabil ity to carry a tune.
 "Your ear, if you had a musical one as have, would show you how to car ry a tune," he would say. One day he complained that her piano was out of tune and asked his wife to telephone for a tuner. She decided to test his musical ear," so that night when he came home from his business she said:
 ''Wil1, please try the piano and see if the tuner has done 1t any good. I haven't any ear and cannot tell, but you can"
 The man sat down at the instrument and played a simple tune. Its all right now," he said "That fellow did a good job"
 His wife summoned up her courage. "Will," she a1d. '"The tuner didn't come today. He's coming tomorrow morning. City Times.

MAN WHO WOULD SHOOT UP STAMFORD
 PROBABLY CRAZY


 Cortez Wheeler a husky farmer from Milford blew into Stratford ear ly yesterday morning suffering with terrible load. Cortez had the tremens in a bad way and threatened to shoot everybody in sight if he could get hold of a gun. He went from house to house looking for the fire arm and raised a rough house when he was refused. Constable BeardSley after a hard struggle placed the man under arrest. He was taken to the town lock up from which place Deputy Sheriff Maher of Milford rescued him, only to lodge him in the Milford cooler A preliminary hearing was given Wheeler in Milford yesterday after noon but it was continued as it is be- lieved that his mind is unbalanced and that he will have to be commit ted to Middletown. AS Wheeler's visit happened in the early morning walk ing up the town some of the older folks have not yet gotten over the fright.

The Third Way.

The Midland express was slowing up. in Derby station. An American uav- eler, his finger keeping the place in his Baedeker, addressed the carriage:
 ''Can you tell me whether this place is Derby or DarbyF I have heard both.'
 tsThe original and therefore the cor rect pronunciation" replied a precise looking passenger, '1s Darby I have seen 1t spelled Darbie' on old maps. It is also the form used in common speech"
 'sYou'n find Derby is right" re- joined passenger, less precise. 1It's spelled like that, and the people up in the north of the county say Derby
 At this point the train stopped, and a porter bawled loudly into the car riage, "Dawbyr'-Manchest Guard ian.

ELECTRIC co. RIPS UP PAVEMENT
 WITHOUT PERMIT
Permission to Tear Up Brick on North Main Street Was Specifically Refused in 1907, Says Member of Street Com mittee.

The residents and taxpayers of the North End are up in arms over the removal of the brick pavement in Main street, north of East Washington ave nue to extend its conduits, and it is now developed that the company did not have any permission to tear up the street.
 Mayor Lee asked the director of pub lie works about 1t and Director Biltz said that he understood that the con- cern was given permission t0 dig up the street at the same time it was giv- en permission to dig up sundry streets two years ago which the council gave permission to take up the pavements in various streets.
 The records of the common council show that the permission to dig up some streets under specified conditions was given. May 6, 1907, but that Main street. north of East Washington ave- nue was not included in the list.
 Director Bfltz said to-day that he had supposed the United Illuminating Co., had permission to take up the pavement, but if it did not have it could not be stopped from extending its lines under the pavement and the pavement was laid before the adoption of the city charter which provides that permanent pavements shall not be dis turbed for five years after laid.
 The director stated that he would say however, that the United Illumi- mating Go. was the only concern which had put the pavement back right where it had taken 1t up to lay pipes.
 While the North Enders have been trying to find out who gave the United Illuminating Go. permission to take up the pavement the work of the company is nearly completed and already work of replacing the Mack brick removed
 A member of the street committee of 1907 said to-day that the company ask ed for permission to tear up this pave ment,' which was specifically refused.

German Way

German Way of Serving Asparagus.
 When living in Germany we noticed that the asparagus served there was unusually tender and of a much more delicate flavor than that which we got in America. We learned that the Ger mans do not consider asparagus fit to eat unless the outside skin is scraped from each stalk before cooking. This sounds like slow work. but if a sharp knife is used it can be done quite rap idly and is we'll worth the trouble Good Housekeeping.

Sven Hedin's Experience.

Dr. Sven Hedin, the famous traveller and explorer, had some terrible expe- riences during a journey through IT. bet He told how, owing to the high altitude at which he and his party travelled, that to unbutton ones coat meant acute pain and tension to an overwrought heart, which literally was at the point of breaking. His only safety lay in the fact that he never left the saddle for a single moment from morning till evening. Had he done so his heart would have given way At one time they were nine days without water, and when at last he saw a small pool Dr. Hedin drank five pints without stopping.
