All in Fight Against tuberculosis.

Prevention of tuberculosis versus
dividends is the proposition which
some of our largest insurance COM
panies are now trying to establish.
The Metropolitan Life recently ap-
piled for permission to erect sana-
torium for its pa!icy holders and en-
ployes afflicted with tuberculosis, but
the application was refused on grounds
of illegality by New York State Super
lntendent Of Insurance Hotchkiss. The
company is, however, conducting an
active educational campaign by dis
tributing 100000 pamphlets among
its policy holders. The Provident
Savings Life Assurance society has
also established a health bureau,
where its policy holders may receive
free medical advice. Several fraternal
orders, notably the Modern Woodmen,
knights of Pythias, Royal League,
Royal Arcanum and Workmen's Cir
Gle, have already established or are
contemplating the erection of sana.
toria for their tuberculous members

BETZVIIIE TALES
Mr.. Pethcod Scroggs' Identical Twins
R.By Ellis Darker BuHef;I
ERD Atdhor of"Piqs IS Pigs Etc. GkA2
ILLUSTRATED By PETER NEWELL

Mr. Pethcod Scroggs, OF our vii
lage, has almost more trouble than
any other man in Betzyille, his twins
are SO identically alike. 1t makes it
all the worse that both twins are
identically the same age, for 1t would
be easier TO tell them apart IL one
was few years older than the other.
Pethcod says he does not often com
plain about the ways of nature, but
that il he had had the inventing of
twins, he would have left an inter-
val Of, say, four or eight years be-
tween them, or, II they had to be OF
the same age, he would have sort OF
distributed them into two different
families. He says he considers two
twins at once in the same family as
almost a personal insult.
Last Wednesday one OF Pethcod' s
four-yearold twins wandered away
from the house and got lost in the
big woods back of Uncle Jed Free
mans farm, and 1t worried Pethcod
and Mrs. Scroggs nearly crazy. 1t
was about five o'clock when he had
a feeling that maybe one of the twins
was lost, but he didn't know wheth-
er 1t was John or Joe. He went out

hoped the head master had good

Il believe said Mr.. Choate, "a good
mans knee has been the turning
point in many boys life in the past
through his troublesome age. There
is grand opportunity offered the
boy Of to-day, better than the boy OF
forty or fifty years ago. simply be-

IN recent interview. John Ar

sons Of rich Americans who travel
over Europe and haunt home pleasure
resorts making fools of themselves,
says the Omaha Bee. Mr.. ..rbuckle is

respecting American bushes at the re-
cital OF their insane doings He is un-
able to comprehend how men whose
energy and business acumen have ac-
cumulated vast fortunes can possibly
be fathers of such worthless sons
Every rich young man who starts out
to demonstrate his eligibility to the
fool-killer class finds plenty Of help,
and so long as the money lasts 1t is a
continuous performance on 24-hour
schedule. His assistants Will even
show him how to improve on his home
training. and by the time he reaches
middle age he can qualify for stellar
roles. The millionaire's son may have
no greater natural ability in this line
than the poor mans boy. but he has
superior opportunities for improve
ment and better press agents to
spread his fame.

man to appoint searching commit
tee to search the woods and find Joe
as quickly as possible. but It was too
late by that time to get the petition
ready. so the meeting adjourned. to

instructed to have the petition all

He went home feeling lot bet

bled him much was John, who in
terfered with the regular household
affairs the next day. Pethcod had tied
him to the pump in such way that
the handle of the pump was tied in
with him, so the family could not
pump any water, and Pethcod was so
busy drawing up the petition that he
had no time TO unite John. Our duty
to lost child should always be fore
most.

Kodama Ocamateu, Japanese ex-
plorer, is on the way to Australia,
where he will establish base of op-
erations having the attainment of the
south pole in view. He has had con-
siderable experience in the Antarctic
and his prospective effort has the
financial support of prominent Japa-
nese capitalists. The Jap is small
eater, as has been shown by the re-
markable endurance of the Japanese
soldiers in the war with Russia, ON
short rations. and as Lieut.. shackle-
toms failure was due to the exhaus-
tion of his food supply, Kodama Ocam-
ateu may by carrying meals in his
vest pocket be able to advance the
flag Of HIS nation to the very pole.

Men who are actively engaged at

Traditions of the American south
west In the period Immediately follow
ing the civil war are recalled by the
information from Germany that brig
ands held the highway between Au-
gustowe and Lipsk ON the Russo-Ger-
man frontier, one day last week, and
captured fifty or sixty travellers, tax
ing all tllstr money. Most OF the vic
Tins were horse-dealers, carrying
large sums znd the total haul is esti-
mated at $4,000. That such things
can be in an old settled country seems
astonishing to Americans. and is prob
ably in part attributable to the politi-
cal commissions OF the past four years
IN Russia.

into the yard, and there was one of
the twins, scooting around as lively
as could be. and then PetEcod ran
around to the other side of the house,
and there was the other twin--or at
least 1t seemed so--but he couldn't
be sure, the twins are so lively.
Pethcod says he ran around the
house for over an hour, and some
times he thought it was both twins
and sometimes he thought it was only
one, moving from place to place, but
at last he got so puzzled that he took
the twin and tied 1t to the pump, and
then when he went around the house
he saw that there was no other twin
there, and he knew the other twin
must have wandered into the big
woods and got lost.
1t was getting on toward dark by
then, and Pethcod knew that the
only thing to do was to get up a
search party and search the woods.
and he would have done 1t immedi-
ately, but he couldn't decide which
twin it was that was lost He stood
and looked at the twin that he had
tied TO the pump. and sometimes he
thought 1t was John, and sometimes
he thought 1t was Joe, but he couldn't
be positive. and until he could be
sure he wasn't going to start search
party. for It would be plumb foolish
to start out search party to find a
twin that wasn't lost.
About the time he was getting per-
fectly discouraged Mrs. Scroggs came
out and he told her what 1as the mat
ter. and she stood awhile and looked
at the captive twin. and then she
spoke right up.
That's joint" she said positively
"AA right then" said Pethcod, and
he went right down to the post office
and gave the alarm that Joe was
lost in the big woods, and Uncle
Ashdod Clute Immediately got on a
box and organized public meeting
to consider the best thing to do. The
first thing he did was to nominate
himself chairman Of the meeting, and
he appointed Pethcod secretary, and
named vice-chairman and second
vice-chairman. SO that got things
started all right, and Pethcod wrote
letter to himself, stating that Joe
was lost, and then he read the letter
to the meeting. and It was the unani-
nous opinion that the matter was

and was on its way into the big woods
to find Joe
just about then Mrs. Pethcod
Scroggs became SO thirsty her tongue
hung out, and she simply had to have
drink of water. so she went out to
the pump, but the minute she saw
John she gave a scream, for it was
not John at all, but Joe. She knew
by the way he snored that she must
have been mistaken when she thought
he was John, and she was so cha
grined and startled that she forgot
all about being thirsty and started al
full whoop after the search commit
tee. She went leaping through the
big woods yelling as loud as she
could. and just as she came up with
the search committee the committee
had found Joe, and were singing a
song of triumph that Dave Gifings
boy had thoughtfully written for the
occasion to the tune of John Browns
body. 1t went like this:

cried. TT is John that is lost!''
But she was already too late, fol
they had found Joe. So there was
nothing to do but to call meeting
OF the committee, and the committee
decided. quite properly. that as they
had started out to find one twin and
hadn't found him. the whole list OF
parliamentary rules were broken By
finding the other. and that there was
nothing to do but go home and star
overaagain the next day. So they told
John to stay where he was and they
would come out and find him the
next day, properly and in his righi
name. Then they passed resolu
ton Of censure against Mrs. Pethcod
for giving wrong information and
went home, and they would have
found John properly the next day
