was no fault of his, as he did but offer
the engraving for sale in the same
state in which he had bought 1t from
some other dealer.
This did not satisfy Turner, how
ever, and he and the man continued
arguing for some time.
At last the print seller lost all pa

THE cocKET WRITER'S.
What Happened When England AboI'

What Happened When England AboI-
ishsd Their Offices.
In the long room of the London Gus
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. ECO a year, but they
were permitted to remumerate them
selves by extortfng 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 a statement of their emoluments.
The officers, ignorant of the treasury's
purpose, imagined that the govern
ment intended to impose an income
tax. Ten of the writer's, therefore, re-
turned a statement which understated
their fees by several hundred pounds.
The other two furnished an honest
statement. In a 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 abol-
ished and that they would be compen-
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.
II.
enjoyed his pension for flfty-two years.
during which time the treasury paid
him $4,000.

known as the joachimsthaler, or

CHOSE PARK COUNTY
Commission Recommends Lo-
cation for Proposed Tu-
bercuIosiS Hospital.
COST WOULD BE $4,000

Indianapolis, Jan. 9.--The report of
the State tuberculosis Hospital Com
mission has appeared. The commits
sion, composed OF William S. Hol-
man, Benz. F. Bennett, ]. n. Babcock,
Isaac r. Strouse and Dr. Henry Moore,
was appointed by the Governor follow
ing an appropriation in 1907 for the
purpose of selecting a site for a pro-
posed State hospital for treating tu-
berculosis patients. The appropriation
was for $4,000, with the understand
ing that site of at least 500 acres
was to be purchased. The report shows
the selection to have been made in
Parke county, near Rockville, at a
cost Of $4,000 or the remainder. the
commission returned $1,11672 to the
State treasury.
The site purchased by the commits
sion contains 504 acres and is situated
three miles east of Rockville, about
one mile from two railroad stations,
one the Michigan division of the Van
dalia railroad and the other the Cen
trail Indiana, formerly known as the
Midland railroad. The site is well
equipped with excellent water, has
125 acres Of bottom land, fifty acres of
upland soil in cultivation, with the re-
naming rolling or hil1y. Much mater
ial is found on the site for building
purposes, such as sand, gravel, stone,
timber, etc. While the commission
can not select plans for proposed
buildings, until an appropriation has
been made, number of recommends
tions have been made. Such an ap-
preparation is earnestly solicited at
the hands of the incoming Governor
and the Legislature.
To Treat Tuberculosis.
The commission has found that tn.
berculosiss can be successfully treated
in Indiana climate, and that the most
economical and effective treatment
can be had in sanatorium. Such an
institution sufficiently large to permit
treatment of 260 people is recommend
ed. Admission to the sanatorium, it
is recommended, should be through
examination by a lung and throat spe-
cialist selected by the State, one in
each congressional district. 1t is also
recommended that a school for train
ing nurses in the science of treating
tuberculosis be maintained at the San
atorium. An appropriation of $500, 900
is asked.

The First New Woman.

1--WE new women are really not 50
new as we think we are" said one Of
them. '1n the thirteenth century
there were lots Of us. Can anything
700 years old be new? The University
of Bologna had for professor Of juris-
prudence Movella d'Andria. She was
no more new than beautiful. Her
charms were SO overpowering that the
trustees made her lecture behind q
curtain. When she lectured openly
the students, their minds wholly occu-
pied with her beauty. could net attend
to what she said. Madonna Manzolina
was professor Of anatomy, Matilda
Tromboni taught languages and Marie
Magnesi held the chair Of mathema-
tics. This university was by no means
second rate one. On the contrary,
it was perhaps the leading university
Of Europe. 1t had 10000 students"

France Made the First Laws Govern
ing Aerial Traffic.
In 1871, when French balloons from
beleaguered Paris were dropping on
the sacred soil'' OF Prussia. a royal
decree declared them confiscate as con-
traband Of war. And on the conclu-
sion Of peace q measure was passed
through the German reichstag which
forbade under penalty of death any
future similar aerial violation Of Ger
man territory during time Of war.
So long ago as 1880, again, balloon
ascents were made Illegal In Turkey.
SO far as regards Constantinople and
forty miles around. and in 1872 the pro-
hibition was extended to include the
entire Turkish empire. To France,
however, belongs the distinction Of hav-
ing made the first laws for the regula-
ton If aerial trafRc. In lisa 1t was
solemnly decreed that nobody should
be permitted to go up In q balloon ''or
any other kind OF aerostatic machine
which was worked By burning spirits
Of wine or any other means Of making

Later, in 1911, It was enacted In
France that henceforth no balloon.

The PICTURE TRUST

WILL LICENSE ISSUES.

Philadelphia, Jan. Grown to
such enormous magnitude that the
money involved runs into many mil
lions: the moving-ricture business
has been consolidated into an easily
controlled though huge business ma
chine. The seven leading picture ma
chine manufacturers, including Lubin.
of Philadelphia: Edison, Paur. the
Vitagraph and the Biograph compan-
les. have merged their interests, and
between them will exercise absolute
control over the moving picture BUSH
ness of the country.
The first step was taken more than
a year ago, when the Aim makers
formed hard and fast combination
and came into complete control.
This resulted in the issuance of Ii
censes to 100 selling agents. 1t also
prevented the placing of any film or
picture before the public before it was
first approved by the combination.
