ASK FAIR TO AWARD
 PRIZES FOR BIG BABIES

San Antonio, Texas. Oct. 2-tSpeclah Race suicide does not seem to nave many adherents in these parts. By neglect or design the International Fair Association has failed to insert the usual baby show in this years program. The result was the follow ing letter to the man on the carpet or a prominent local daily:
 Why is 1t that the fair management so persistently discriminates against us? The cows the sheep, the pigs and the hens are all boosted by the lalr and all who attend while their twins ana trtpIets are much admired and often draw blue ribbons. But there is not a prize in the whole catalog Tor the woman who has the finest and th" biggest and the best crop Of all the other youngsters Now we want you to take this matter up and try to ln- duce the fair managers to orter a nrize to the woman who on oio Timers Day." comes in with elght or ten young ones trailing along oehihu her" .,,o,,o +h,4
 There is every reason to believe thai the International Fair Assocla ton wli' now see its way clear to otter prlzes for "the finest" and biggest ana the hest crop of all the other youngsters In the meantime the country ePtsto4 arv literature has been enrieheo eoh- siderably.

GIRL INVENTs SAFETY
 DEVICE FOR ELEVATOR

Clarence E. Baumer, of Troy. N. Y. and his sister, Miss Bertha Baumer. or Atlanta. have secured patent on an automatic elevator safety device to prevent elevator accidents. from which they are expecting great things.
 The device is attached to the bottom of the elevator. and in case of the breaking or slipping of the hoisting cable. it automa tically stops the cage. The breaking of the cable automatic ally breaks the circuit to a magnet placed under the car, and releases two locking bars, which engage the notch es on the side of the shaft. The CIT cult is also broken when the elevator door opens, and the car cannot start until the door is shut.

CABBAGE FOR TAFT
PRESIDENT TO GET REAL TEXAS
 DINNER
Hotels At San Ante nio Must Curb Ten dency to Import Deficiencies and Furnish Only Simple
 Fare.

San Antonio. Texas Oct .2-(Special.) ] This city has enterprising hotel men. To be the host of President Taft dur ing his stay here has resulted in a great deal of hustling between them. When the race started there were three likely favorites in the field. but one of thm had to be scratched because his paIatial establishment failed to near the necessary point of completion Since then the two left in the race have been trying their best to carry off the hon. DTS.
 Both would-be- hosts attended a re- cent meeting of the entertainment committee held at the City Hall over which Mayor Callaghan presided. In order to outdo one another they volun- teered to stand the entire expense of entering the president and his party, That part oe the proceeding looked pretty good to the committee. and es- pecfally the mayor. But one of the hotel men suggested that If he was given the office of looking after f3i z Bill he would even go to the expense of importing every delicacy that could he found in the North in addition to having the best of the S1uth. Here the Indian in mayor Callaghan came to the front.
 You don't mean to say that we hav- mt right here what they got in the North or any other place on the out side" he asked hotly. "Why If we had to dine Bill on bacon and cabbage with frijoies as a side dish, we couldn't af- ford to let 1t be known that we had to get outside help to give him the squarest feed he's had In years. Nothing doing. Any banqueting that's going to be done will be done with the pro- ducts of this wide land of ours. I'm port things from the outside, forsooth,"
 che edlct having gone forth Presi- dent will get a royal Texas dinner: dinner, the mayor says, that couldn't be excelled or even duplicated on this or the other side of Lucullus' banquet ing hall

 Rusisa, hardly scared by its reverses in foreign war. and relieved from the paralyZed effects of dissenton and revolution within. is entering now c, a period of development and commr <. cial prosperity the possibilities of which have not been overlooked by the manufacturing and trading com- munities of any nation except the United States. Already the Anglo Russian, Franco Russian and Russian Belgian chambers of commerce are in successful operation and the Dutch and the Swedes are forming similar associations. The almost monopolistie hold that Germany has had on this great market seems about to he brok en, and only Americans are making ao concerted edort to obtain share of the profitable trado t.at Is to be cre- ated or that may be diverted from It's former channels.

SPEEDY ON MACHINE
DIXIE GIRL AFTER PREVENTING
 CHAMPIONSHIP.
StenOgrapher in Atlanta Law office Dispinys Remarkable Record Uses "TOuch" system With
 Hands Almost MotiOnIess.

Before the year 1910 Is gone, the worlds championship trophy for speed in typewriting is more than likely to repose in Atlanta, brought to this city by Miss Mrytle Yeoman, now chief stenographer for a local law firm.
 Reports of Miss Yeoman's speed in typewriting and unofficial records taken of her work indicate that the Atlanta girl can simply toy with the best efforts of Miss Rose L. Fritz, the present champion, or anyt of the other typists who annually compete for the big prizes at Madison Square Garden, New York.
 For Miss Yeoman IS phenomenon. She has been operating a typewriter four years, and she is just now begin ming to find the marvellous powers she has always possessed. In fact, these were discovered" for her by the man ager of an Atlanta typewriter con- cern, who was in the office of the law firm one Jay while Miss. Yeoman was at work t.s t., .-, ?,
 Tt was simply bewildering," said the typewriter man. T .had seen speedy operators before, but nothing like that. I could hardly have credit ed my eyes had 1t not been for my ears-for the clicking seemed faster than a stick drawn along a paling fence. It was wonderful
 Soon afterward the typewriter man got in new machine with peculiar ly light torch. He requested Miss Yeo- man to try her speed on 1t.
 It was a trial made without any preparation or formality. Miss Yeo- man simply looked at newspaper column and at the call of time" she began to write.
 ba tai ba Crf1n clicking fairly blended into A melodi- ous hum. like the exhaust of some fairy racing motor car.
 If the typewriter man had been awed before, he was stunned now. But he got himself together enough 10 call time" at the end of minute. Then the words were counted. and
 Now. see here; Tff~ not going to tell you the exact record Miss Yeoman made. The judges in Madison Square Garden can find that out, along with the other contestants. But 1t was words and words ahead of the fastest one minute record Miss Fritz or any of the rest of them have ever set"
 Miss Yeoman, too, Is mildly sur prised.
 "I have always liked typewriting. she says, "and it seemed to be very easy for me, even at the beginning But had never thought much about being a phenomenon
 Miss Yeoman uses the touch" sys- tenn exclusively. She keeps her eyes on the "copy" and her hands are near ly motionless above the keyboard, save for the fingers that flit almost with the speed of a humming birds wings, She writes as well blind-folded, from ora, iictation, as from copy.
 Really, I believe I can write faster and more accurately blind-fold, said Miss Yeoman. '~There seems to be less to distract my mind and hinder the transmission of words from II to the keyboard"

Two Westerners Return After Absence of Six Years Spent as Rulers of Isles Far Away from Civilization.

Kansas City, Oct. 2--Joe Carr and Edward Burns. after being gone six years. passed through here on their ! way to the Texas Panhandle, where they expect to return to their cowboy 1 lives. In the absence of six years they | were cowboys in Australia. and shIp- | wrecked on one of the Fiji Islands. where one was made King and the other Prince.
 That they will never forget their ex- | perience among the savages is evil denced by the fact that Carr, who was made King. has stars tattooed on his forehead. chin and both checks. Burns, who was simply Prince. has a single star on his forehead.
 Six years ago two adventurous cow boys, tiring of the life on a Texas range, decided to go to Africa. From South Africa they went 10 Australia. They enjoyed the herders. fife on the big cattle ranges there. made some money, but finally decided to return to the country of their birth. Surrounded by Savages.
 They took passage on tramp ves- sel.
 When near the Fiji Islands their yes. sel was wrecked in a storm and they found themselves in a boat with two sailors. Two days later they made land
  sembly of savages.
 The quartet of whites lsd a rifle and three revolvers and several rounds of ammunition handy, but they soon as- certained that the attitude of the na- lives was friendly. The savages hail. ed them as superior beings, and taking this as their cue. Carr was bowed to by his companions. who also bowed to Burns. This established the class of Carr and Burns.
 From that time on Carr was the King of the Island and Burns was the Prince. All four were taken in great state to the village. half a mile from the beach, where a big feast was held in their honor. Carr was seated on a throne and was presented with feathers and bits of metal.
 Had Happy Reign.
 T had happy reign. su far as ab- sence Of trouble was concerned" said Carr at the Union Depot "TIe na- lives seemed to divine my wishes and they were as obedfent as the best-rear- ed children. We had plenty of fish and game for food, but with nothing to do but watch for a sail the timo certainly was lonesome.
 We kept a signal flying by day and for the first few months we kept bea- cons burning at night. It was almost TWO years, though. DeIbrc iTdHHp sHip came our way. Both Burns and I by this time had been decorated with ta tooing such as you see on my face which indicated our rank.

OWN YOUR OWN HOME.


Civilization is founded on tho home
There is something lacking in every
home which Is owned by somebody
else. There Is no incentive to plant
trees and flowers and beautify
grounds. There is little except the lease
and the law to NOV down weeds In
which the house is being lost. Thers
Is little except the landlord to replace
broken windows and rlckety doors.
There is more affection placed on yell
low dogs and poodle pups.
A home creates manhood, courage,
independence. 1t makes men among
men. 1t creates patriotism. Few men
have sufficient love for a boarding
house to spend much time in Its de-
Tense. But men will protect their
homes. They will take some pride In
identifying them, and creating sur
