jured by being struck on the head
by falling baggage. The passengers
escaped injury.
Healy was one of the Oldest and
most reliable engineers on the Mis-
souri, Pacific system. In the lifetime

custom to instruct the management
of the road, whenever he was pre-
pairing to take trip over the sys-

recognition that merely to improve

that IL falls far short of comprising

Business acumen recognizes that

problem is not one of housing only,
but OF BODYBUILDING; thar to facili-

PROSPERITY HITS THE ARMY
Recruiting officers Find IL Hard to
Gain EnIistments.

Washington, Aug. 25.-Prosperity
has struck the army and recruiting
is falling off. The average Ameri-
can is showing a preference to march
under the command of General
Prosperity than under that of army
generals. While the president has
ordered that with the closing of the
present fiscal year the strength of
the army, including the hospital
corps, be reduced to $4,000 from
$4,000, those in charge of recruiting
fear 1t will be difficult to maintain
full ranks even on the reduced max
imum.

A WOMAN INUNDATED
Would Not Attend Social Functions
because Her Hair Caused I'm
favorable Comment.

There are many women in this
world, handsome in features, perfect
in form, graceful of movement and
brilliant of mind, who keep in the
background just because they have
thin. colorless and lusterless hair.
Such a condition causes vexation;
II is annoying and even distressing
especially when other women seem
to be blessed with an abundance OF
luxuriant and captivating hair.
In Paris they understand things
about the hair that we do not know
in this country. IL was a Partisan,
DR.. Sabourand. who discovered that
thin hair and dandruff are caused by
a microbe.
1t is the famous preparation, Pari-
sian Sage. that kills the dandruff
microbe; 1t is Partisan Sage that will
make women's hair grow luxuriant;
that will turn dull. lifeless looking
hair into delightfully."- lustrous and
beautiful hair in a few days.
II is Partisan Sage that proves
DR.. Sabourand's theory to be correct,
for II is rigidly guaranteed by Gill
bert's drug store to kill the dandruff
germ and cure dandruff, falling hair
and itching scalp in two weeks or
money back.
Partisan Sage Is a delightfully."-
pleasant hair dressing and invigorat-
or; 1t is not sticky or greasy. 1t
should be used freely in summer as
IL keeps the scalp clean and cool and
free from unpleasant odors.
The price OF Partisan Sage is only
so cents for a large, generous bottle
and is for sale by leading druggists
everywhere. Sold in Paducah on the
money-back plan by Gilbert's drug
store. The girl with the Auburn hair

Wonan's Logic

"My opponents argument" said
Senator Dolliver in a recent cam
paign, "has about as much logic.
Did you ever hear about the young
woman in Fort Dodge? One spring
morning she sat On the piazza of her
pretty little home sewing a button
on her husbands coat. The hus-
band himself appeared and she said,
fretfully, 'tIt's a perfect shame the
careless way the tailor sewed this
button on. This IS the fifth time
I've had to sew it on again for you"

searching the countryside, and there is
chance that tie tramp will be lynch
ed if captured.
Mrs. Stech says the tramp came to
her door and demanded admittance.
She was alone in the house with her
three-year-old girl. and, frightened, she
closed the door in the mans face and
locked it. He commenced to break
down the door. Mrs. Stech carried her
little girl to a bedroom and locked her
In. She then ran to her telephone and
rang to call for help, but before she
could speak the tramp had forced his
way in and seized her.
She dropped the receiver, leaving
the telephone open, and the central
operator heard her first scream. For
half an hour the woman struggled des-
perately with her assailant all over the
little living room. Each time she found
herself near the telephone she scream
ed for help. In nearly every home on
the system to which her telephone be-
longed her screams were heard.
The first of her neighbors to arrive
found Mrs. Stech bound and uncon-
sc1ous. The tramp had disappeared.
The men who started out to hunt him
down after hearing her story were
armed and ~said they would shoot the
tramp on sight

The Sacred Goosa.

In Egypt the goose was the emblem
Of Sch, father to Osiris. A precious
figure of it is extant inscribed 1.-THE
Good Goose Greatly Beloved" It was
the national flag of Burma and Of
Randy, Ceylon. Wherever Buddhism
rules the goose Is venerated. There
fore it Is leading motif in the art Of
Japan and symbol of peace and hap
piness in China. Figures of geese are
as indispensable at Chinese wedding
as Is bride cake with us. In both
countries, as also in Burma and Siam,
weights are made in the shape Of a
goose as token of good faith, though
the connection is not obvious. But in
ancient Egypt the same custom ruled,
and Layard found goose weights
among his first discoveries at Nineveh.
A row Of gigantic geese surrounds the
great Buddhist temple at Anajapoora.
The devout cherish a fond fancy that
all geese perform an aerial pilgrimage
to the hottest Of lakes in the Hima-
layas every year, transporting the sins
of the neighborhood, returning with a
new stock Of inspiration for the en-
enlargement Of local piety.

Protective Coioring Of Insects.

Protective Coloring Of Insects.
A well known little moth with pale
green notified wings is the only case
in which I have myself watched the
protection afforded by color at work.
It was on a summers evening when I
saw this little moth zigzagging up and
down with the most extraordinarily ir-
regular flight and bird pursuing 1t.
Twice the bird swooped and just
missed his prey owing to sudden
turn and drop on the part of the moth.
And then to my great delight the moth
Topped against the stem of tree on
which was growing greenish gray
lichen. The bird swooped again close
to the tree, but failed to see the insect
and quilted the chase. 1t took me an
appreciable time to detect the little
moth resting against the lichen and
closely matching it in color.-Sir q.
Ray Lancaster in London Telegraph.

From "a book by Professor Smith Of
the University Of Washington is taken
the following, worth serious con-
sideration:
1T is easy to see in the exaltation
of the federal judiciary q survival of
the old mediaevel doctrine that the
king can do no wrong. In fact, much
the same attitude of mind which made
monarchy possible may be seen in this
country in our attitude toward the
supreme court. As long as the people
power rested on secure foundation.
To destroy the belief IN his superior
wisdom and virtue was to destroy the
basis of his authority. Hence all
criticism of the king or his policy was
regarded as an attack on the system
itself and treated accordingly as a
serious crime.

The Starboard Liaht.

'Twice day for week have been
harassed by doubt as to how far a
man should go in correcting the glar-
ing mistakes Of strangers" said the
man who enjoys looking in shop win
dows. '"There is an art store down
town where the present Window col:
lection includes the picture of a ship.
It is deliberately framed and has a
lighthouse carved on the wooden strip
at one side, but the artist should never
have tried marine work, for he has got
the red side light of that vessel on the
starboard side. Two or three times
I've been on the point Of going into
the store and asking the proprietor
either to remove that picture or put
patch of green paint over that red, and
each time my nerve has failed me.
II am half hoping that the false side
light will cause collision in that win
dow which will smash the picture, and
then my anxiety will be relieved"-

He Was Under Oath.

The late Professor Rowland of Johns
Hopkins university was the most emf
nent physicist since the days of Joseph
Henry. Among his notable achieve
ments in the realm Of pure science was
the calculation Of the mechanical
equivalent Of heat and the use of graf
tngs in spectrum analysis, for which
purpose he devised a machine that
could cut 10000 lines to the inch on
plate of polished metal. In the .prac-
teal application of his knowledge he
was noted as the inventor of the multi
plex telegraph apparatus.
Some years ago, testifying in a case
involving the Cataract Power COM
pany, in answer to question on cross
examination as to who. in his opinion,
was the greatest American scientist,
he replied, 81 am"
After leaving the courtroom one of
the lawyers ventured to criticise this
answer for it's effect upon the jury.
whereupon Rowland exclaimed:
,"Well, what else could say? Wasn't
under oath ?-New York Globe.

While the legislature has started
Investigations, some entirely COM
mendable, how about investigating
itself. It would be ridiculous it It
we're not appalling, to SEQ what an
amount of money Is being wasted in
committee clerkships. sergeants ut
arms, messengers, etc. No one pretends
that all these are necessary. It is
simply means of providing a vaca.
tion for somebody at the EXPENSE Of
the state, and it is an outrage on tax
payers to have clerks who from be-
ginning to end of the legislative
session never do anything nor are ex-
pected to do anything, messengers
with no messages to deliver. watch
men with nothing to watch and a
multitude of supernumercerles who
are as much needed as cat needs
three tails. There are important
clerkshlps and good men are needed to
ill them and should be we'll paid.
But stop should be put to creating
positions simply to give holiday to
someone whose greatest services to his
country and mankind consisted in
helping to send Hon. Fake Dusenberry
to the legislature.
