"Posey" Ryan, who killed his wife
and step-daughter in Chepenne a
few days ago is receiving a great deal
of sympathy since the will of the
dead wife has been found to give him
only one dollar. The fact is, the two
women euchered him out of his mon
ey and then proposed to leave the old
man TO shift for himself the rest of
his life. 1t is a hard thing to say,
but there is no sympathy for the
dead women, but a whole lot for the
poor old man who IA made insane

To Much Money for an Old Man

1t appears that Mrs. Ryan, killed
by her husband at Cheyenne a short
time since, left a will in which she
left her husband out of his earnings
of a life time, the munificent sum of
dollar. His friends are wondering
what she thought the old man would
do with so much money in his old

doctors degree from Harvard before
he is seventeen years old and then
he will go to Europe for philosophical
and scientific study.
What sort of lad is this extraor-
binary youngster? OF course, he isn't
a boy like other boys of fourteen, in
telectually-he has lived too much
and learned too much for that. But
he is not abnormal physically, for he
likes outdoor play, as most boys do.
and he is an expert at tennis and in
swimming. His head is of average
size. He is tall. but he is we'll devel-
oped and gives no sign that his men
tai development has been at the cost
of his physical well-being. You might
not see anything extraordinary about
him in just chance meeting on the
street Or playground. but if you drop
ped into conversation with him or got
a look out of his eyes--then you
would feel that he is very different.
His eyes are blazing black and there
is in them something that suggests IN
almost uncanny intelligence ana
power.
What is to become of this boy in
future years? Will he startle the
world with his discoveries in science?
Will he give to the next generation
new philosophy of life? With his ex-
traordinary intellect, Will he also give
to humanity extraordinary service?
Some questions time alone can an

TUFTS college was more or less
amazed when Norbert knocked at its
doors in the fall of 1906 for admis-

MODERN MILKING

Very early in the morning
Hiram sought the spotted COW.
And with gloves his hands adorning,
Took the night cap from her brow
Reused her from her we'll bred siumber,
Bathed her features with sponge;
To the bath tub made her lumber
For her early morning plunge
Manicured each horn and hooflet,
Sprayed her Ger with listerne:
Scrubbed her stall from floor to roodet
Till each inch of it was clean.
Then while her attention centered
On her predigested bran,
Reverently Hiram entered
With a silver plated can.
Into whicl7, by gauze protected
From bacil!i and their ik,
Hiram skillfully projected
Little streams of purest milk.
With Il microscope he viewed it;
Slew a mcrobe here and there;
Strained it. weighed it. cooled it, stewed j
Pasteurzed it, too, with care.
Then in bottles small he hauled it
To the city, and in short

high school. But in Tufts college in
Massachusetts is lad who upsets all
these traditional notions OF boys. for at
the age of fourteen he is Il candidate
for graduation in thorough classical
college course, and it is already as
sured that he will be given his bache-
lor's degree in June.
This extraordinary lad, who is SAID
to be the brightest boy in the world, is
Norbert Wiener. His father is now
professor at Harvard, but neither the
classical suburb OF Cambridge nor
even the intellectual state of Massa-
chusetts can claim the honor of his
birthplace That distinction belongs
to old Missouri and whenever Mis-
souri, thinks of it, it has a quiet smile
at the expense of the etfete east. Nor
bert first saw the light of day in Co
hlmbia, Missouri, November &c, 1891.
His father, Prof. Leo Wiener, now OF
the department of Slavic langua ges IN
Harvard, is of Russian parentage, but
his mother is a native of Missouri.
The boy has brothers and sisters, but
they do not display the same eXtracr-
binary intellectual faculties as Nor

every man to undergo a spring

WHAT is A GOOD TIME
A good time, according to the vari-
Gus types of people who indulge in
them consists of one of the following:
A good time is something that will
dissolve a bundle of money without
leaving any trace of it.
1t is what comes just before bad
taste in the morning.
1t is pleasant occasion where the
other person doesn't get chance to
talk.
1t is variety of coloring matter
used in painting towns and noses.
1t is something that you have wher-
ever the other people seem glad to
see you.
a good time is something that is
produced by mixing good fellows.
1t is something that you are having
whenever you forget that there is
such a thing as a clock.
1t is anything that makes you feel
like big fool the next day.

ma 3nate can get the most players.
The magnates fight for the pennant
all winter and the teams ratify the
decision the next summer
Baseball is divided into different
denominations like money. A player
is man who throws a ball or
catches it or bats at it. A team is
composed of nine players who play
and nineteen more who are drawing
salaries. A league is composed of
eight teams and squabb1e over the
salary limit A commission is COM
posed of all the leagues in the coun-
try. Baseball is now so we'll organ
lied that if player plays one old cat
with his infant son without the con-
sent of the commission he is fined
more than if he hit the same son with
a baseball bat.
1t is very difficult matter to play
baseball successfully. 1t is even more
difficult to witness a game in an eX-
pert manner. A good baseball player
can play $50 games in succession, but
a baseball fan who goes to three
games in succession becomes so
hoarse that he has to talk on his fin
gers. A player can throw ball 100
yards, but some fans can throw pop
bottles two blocks. Baseball is not
played in the English language. 1t IS
played in the American language,
which was invented by the baseball
reporters.
