ADMIRAL sCHLEY 70 YEARS OLD.
Career in Navy of As Years and One of
Unusual BriIiance.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 9.-Numer-
Gus congratulations poured in upon
Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley
today on the occasion of his SEVENTEEN
birthday. Admiral Schley was born
in Frederick, Md, in 1889 and entered
the Naval Academy in 1856. His ca
reer in the navy covered a period of
forty five years and was one of unu-
sual brilliance.
He left the academy in time to par
t1cipate in many of the notable naval
engagements of the Civil War In
1866 he helped to suppress a revolu-
ton in Salvador and six years later
he participated in the attack on the
Salce River forts In Korea. One of
nc most brilliant achievements of his
ntire career came in 1884, when he
commanded the Greedy Relief Expedi-
ton to the Arctic region, and rescued
Lieutenant Greedy and six survivors
in the frozen north. In 1891 he con-
veyed the remains of John Ericsson to
Sweden, for which he received a gold
medal from the King of Sweden. His
Later career, including his victory in
the naval battle of Santiago, is ia
miliar to all American newspaper
readers. Since his retirement from
active service in 1901 Admiral Schley
has divided his time between this city
and his old home in Maryland.

THE CAB SHORTAGE.

A severe car shortage seems to be
approaching. When the Great Lakes
are closed to navigation, thus throw
ing the transportation Of wheat and
-four traffic onto the railroads, when
a great corn crop is ready to be
moved, when millions of bales of cot
ten are un1oaded at railway stations
then, indeed, will the demand for
freight cars outrun the supply.
The tonnage offered the railroads is
fully as large as that of 1907. In 1907
there were 9O4,S21 box cars, and near
ly all of these were of 10000 pounds
capacity or of still larger size, for the
increase in the capacity of freight
cars is rapidly leading to the use of
cars that carry 100000 pounds. In
1907 there were 746,670 ore and coal
cars. The total number of freight
cars of all kinds in 1907 was 1,9S6,Ol7.
A 1ecord-breaking movement of
freight is in sight. This will come
before the end of the calendar year,
and yet, says the Iron Age, ''the rail-
roads now have less equipment than
in the fall of 1907, as the additions
since that time have not covered the
loss, and a large percentage of what
is now in service cannot be used on
main line traffic, as the old wooden
cars can no longer be mixed with
heavy steel cars

Cucumber Milk,

The formula for cucumber cream is
as follows:
Oil of sweet almonds, 4 ounces;
fresh cucumber juice, 10 ounces; es-
sence of cucumbers, ounces; white
CASTLE soap (powdered), IL ounce;
tincture of benzoin, 2-3 dram.
To obtain the juice of the cucum-
bers slice them very thin, skin and
all, cover with very little water and
let cook slowly until soft and mushy;
press through fine sieve, then strain
through a cheesecloth. To make the
essence, take equal parts Of pure sco-
hoI and the Juice; put the essence
and soap in jar, the larger the bet
ter, as the mixture requires much
shaking; after the soap Is fully dis
solved add the cucumber juice. Shake
until thoroughly mixed, then pour into
a bowl and add the oil and benzoin,
stirring until you have a creamy sub
stance. Put into small bottles, tight
ly corked and keep in a dark place. It
does not require a preservative other
than the Oriental paste, it is best to
use the fresh figs and apricots; II
these are not to be had the dried fruit
can be used.

MEBANE A CANDIDATE.
He Will Stand for the Democratic
Nomination for Congress i'm Fifth.

Greensboro, N. c., Oct. 7-Dr.
George Mebane, the cotton manufac-
turer of Spray, with Mrs. Mebane, was
here yesterday en- route to Burling-

ther, Mr.. L. Banks Holt. DR.. Meb-
ane will attend the Alamance fair,
now being held at Burlington, and
will also look after his farming in
terests in Alamance, one of his farms
lying in both A1amance and Orange
counties.
Being an acknowledged candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
Congress next year, DR.. Mebane may
also take time to mend some of his
fences while in that part of the dis
trict. Aside from his geniality, in
telligence and acknowledged business
capacity and experience, DR.. Mebane
has the political asset of absolute
party regularity and Democratic en-
thusiasm without having displayed in
his activities partisan rancor or fac
tiona1 strife.

TWO WAR TALES.

Under this caption the Washington
Post recalls two war stories touching
the brilliant cavalry leader John H.
Morgan, of Kentucky, in which it
says:
1--WE are long enough away from the
passions of that period to give two
tales of this Du Gueselin, this Dunois,
this Rupert, this humane Claverhouse.
One is that he and the commander of
the Union forces that captured him
had this sort of meeting:
st is related that when General
Morgan was apprehended in Ohio that
General Shackleford refused abso-
lutely to allow him to surrender his
sword to a captain of artillery when
he drew it from it's sheath and ex-
tended the hilt to his captors. This
courtesy overwhelmed the Confeder-
ate leader, and he presented his fine
saddle to his former comrade. The
saddle remained with General Shack
leford until a forged order was pre-
sented one day, and it was relinquish-
cd to stranger. Since then no trace
of it has ever been found.
'eThat is very fine and ought to have
been real. Perhaps it was real. 1t
tesy of ancient story, and we turn
back in thought to Arthur's round ta-
BILE and it's splendid knighthood. We
recall Sidney, Bayard, and the Cid
but there is another story. Frank
Molford, commander of the famous
army, was the man who actually cap
tureo Morgan when the all inauspi-
cious tide in the Ohio did for the
Southern rough rider what the torch
of Moscow and the snow and ice and
surly blasts of a Russian winter did
for a greater than he.
'Shackleford, so the story goes, de-
nounceG Morgan when the latter was
in his power The prisoner only drew
himself up and allowed contempt to
curl his lip. Then it was that Wolford
stepped forth and rebuked his supe-
rior for his attitude toward prisoner,
a fellow Kentuckian, brave soldier,
and thorough gentleman.
'Shack1eford saw his error, and
apologized to both Morgan and VOL
ford, and then it was that scene for
the painter was enacted. Morgan, one
of the finest looking men who ever
wore sword, presented Wolford, one
of the ugliest men who ever went to
war, with the solid silver spurs he
wore Wolford accepted them with
thanks, and attached them to his
rough cowhide boots, that had not
known polish since they left the shop
What became of the spurs nobody
ever knew"

THE CIRCUS CLOWN.
1t Takes Wise Man to Play the Fool
i'm q Modern Circus.

cit takes brains to play the fool"
So Jack Cousins, the equestrian di-
rector of Howe's Great London Shows
said when asked concerning clowns
and clowning.
81 have been in the circus business
all my life, and during that interest
ing period have, like an actor, played
many parts. have made close study
of the profession, and particularly the
clown department, for there is moth
ing to a circus without a clown.
'tIt has come under my observation
that the brainiest performers always
make the best clowns and produce fun
that is not only wholesome, but makes
the man, no matter how discontented
with the world, forget his troubles
temporarily and dissolve his hardened
features into a grin. When you COM
pare the actor with the clown the lat
ter has a handicap regarding his
methods and his facilities of bringing
forth laughs.
"The other has the author to thank
nine times out of ten for some 'phat'
part. Then, too, he is enabled to say
things that produce fun and which
are not his own. But take the man
behind the whitened face and he has
nothing to help him but his gestures,
his nimble legs and his art of so con-
tOrting his face as to bring forth
mirth It's real work to make them
laugh without any aid whatsoever ex-
cepting the few items I have mention
ed Furthermore clown must be
born; he is not made or manufac-
tured."
Over two score of the funniest of
fnnny clowns have been engaged with
HoWe's aggregation this season.
The date the big show will exhibit
here Is Saturday, October 16.

Helpful
Beauty Hints
A Typewriter Tells How She Keeps
Erect and Her Neck from Sasgins-
A TIGHT Collar Fatal to Beautiful
Throat-Valuable Sassestions By
One Who Knows
+ + +

How do I keep my back straight
and my neck from sagging?" said the
woman who spent hours each day at
typewriter. 81 write with my chest
up and my eyes turned ceilingward.
II never allow myself to stoop, sit
ting well back on my chair to make
the erect position possible, and when
ever 1 do not have to look at my copy
I throw the neck back.
when, taking dictation 1t is quite
easy to keep the head up and I ar
range my notes on rack on the level
with my eyes. Naturally I use the
touch system so the keys need not
be watched.
"Often, when working in room by
myself I twist my head and take
ing to fight off the double chin and
sagging threat muscles that are SO
common for women who sit at desk
or plano much.
1.-THE way I happened to think Of
combining neck development and work
was by watching my grandmother.
Her throat is as thin and supple as q
girls though she is nearly 80, and she
has none of the sagging and lines that
most of US connect with age
"She told me that whenever she
got chance during the day, when
ever she had to plan any of her work
or wanted a minutes rest, she sat
with her eyes turned heavenward, her
chest up and the muscles at the back
of the neck contracted.
"Often as she sat there she would
massage the throat muscles with the
tips of her fingers or draw the palms
of her hands alternately from the line
of her chin toward her chest. She
usually carried small tube of cold
cream in her pocket and would put
| just enough on her fingers to keep
the skin from getting sore.
How did she manage about her
collar? She never wore one around
the house, but had her morning frocks
| made with a narrow surplice neck to
| give freedom and air to the throat
"Grandmother never went to beau
ty doctor in her life but she agrees
with most of them that a tight collar
| is fatal to a beautiful throat. I can
not go collar1ess in an Office but
take it off the minute I reach home
and always wear a Dutch neck dress
in the evening"
