The Horseless Carriage Is Old
 But Match Liquorless Fruit Cake

Fruit cake without a little dash of liquor! Whoever heard of

NO SALT FAMINE.
This One Mineral Will Have Eterna
 Life--supply Inexhaustible.

This One Mineral VIII Have Eternal
 Life--suppIy Inexhaustible. New York Herald.
 Add a pinch of salt" may not be the basis upon which all cook books are built. But a recipe looks ineom- plete without it--any culinary artist readily admits that. So important is that "pInch of salt"f that many diners of rare good taste would prefer food less table to a saltless dinner.
 The ordinary and out-of- the-ordinary uses of salt are more or less generally known--from the mason who uses salt water to prevent disintegration by frost. to the famine stricken Asiatics who ate salt to create a greater thirst and thus momentarily escape the frightful gnawing of hunger.
 The worlds storehouses of coal, gold, iron. silver and all metals may be emp tied in the distant future; but one in- exhaustible mineral-salt-is assured an eternal life, says The Illinois State Journal
 United States produces more than 35, 900. .O0O barrels annually, and has. as yet, merely touched its vast deposits. The Colorado desert salt field. formed by salt springs, cover a vas. expanse of more than 1000 acres. The crust is so hard that it cannot be broken with A spade, but must be turned up with a steam blow.
 No other mineral is produced by such various methods. Salt lakes are evap- orated salt fields are ploughed and raked up; salt mountains are mined.
 Roumania, whose principal resource Is salt, mines that mineral fin the same intense way that America mines coal and iron. The great salt mine at sian leu, which has been worked for genera tions, is now $40 feet deep. The walls of this giant chamber of salt are cut as smoothly as polished marble. solid columns of crystal salt over 300 feet high-an auditorium unequalled In the worlds architecture.
 The floors of the mine are lowered six and one-half feet each year. Two hundred years hence, when, 1t Is esti- mated, these walls will be l,300 feet higher than they are now.
 Can you imagine a greater "world's s wonder than this wonderful subterra- mean room, with its walls of sparkling sait-more than 1,6O0 hundred feet high7

Showing Origin of the Rhetoric in
 Some Great Speeches.
 New York Evening Mail.
 Just how many, and what, speeches by American public men owe their in- spiration to industrious subordinates with a literary turn. nobody knows. There is widely held theory that the speeches of eulogy of departed Senators and Representatives, to which now and again a special number of the Congressional Record Is devoted, often have such an origin. and 1t is fair in- ference that the poetical quotation with which they are studded are the product of the taste and research of young sec- retaries lately out of college. MT. Taft made a laughing accusation and confession from the platform less than a year ago, in the presence of MT. Roosevelt and Chief Forester Pinchot, to which his predecessor pleaded guilty with the famous Roosevelt grin. MT. Taft said that Pinchot could, IT he would, tell where some of the best passages in the speeches of both the President and President-elect came from. It will be remembered that one or MT. Roosevelt's messages contained a paragraph which was pretty nearly word for word Governor Folks cele- brated definition of bribery as "the treason of peace."

THE ROBIN FAIRY.


Jack had come To spend the day
with his cousin Robert. They played
Indians and soldiers all morning out
in the yard till Jack killed robin
with his slingshot.
His aunt saw him do 1t. and went
out and picked up the robin. saying.
Poor little fairy, isn't 1t too bad
you've killed it,"
"Auntie. It isn't fairy; that Is only
bird" said Jack.
Don't you know, boys, that all birds
are falries?" his aunt said. There
are different kinds OF fairies. These
fairies loved the people in the world,
and because we are so much larger
they were afraid we might hurt them.
"One night the fairies came from
all the countries to q convention, and
decided these fairies might be birds
in the daytime. They would sing for
the earth people and kill bad bugs that
destroy the pretty flowers and trees.
But they must all be fairies again at
night. That Is why the little birds
always go to bed early, for as soon
as IL Is dark they must be dressed and
go to fairyland.
AT night the robin Is one vi tue
fairy queens guards. Its red breast
is really a ribbon the guard wears
from one shoulder across to the other,
and mis- cloak Is the brownish color
The sparrows you wanted shot are the
queens soldiers At night they wear
soldier suit almost like our soldiers
do"
Jack said. "Auntie. I'm so sorry
killed the robin. | won't kill any more
birds, because they are such good
fairies. They sing and take care OF
the flowers and trees for US"
