Another Lie Nailed,

IL have never felt that men were
more blamable than women for the
disfranchisement OF my sex and until
| have aus TO change this opinion,
| shall certainly not take to calling
men names" Carrie Chapman Gait.
While no one who knows her could
possibly give credence to the widely
circulated story that the gifted and
womanly president Of the Interna-
tional Woman Suffrage Association
ever said in a public address, or
privately, that men are 'lobsters or
shrimps," it Is a satisfaction to quote
Mrs. Cats own words in refutation
of the vulgar report. Asked about it
on her return from London a few days
ago, Mrs. Gait said;
II not only did not say the thing
you quote concerning men, Holsters
and ShrimpS, but at nc time in my
life have | ever said anything which
by the widest stretch Of imagination
could be distorted into any resem-
blance to the paragraph now making
the rounds Of the newspapers.
Further, l know that calling persons
Holsters is a type Of American slang,
but | for one do not even know what
it means. The thing was literally
originated and set into circulation by
some irresponsible sensatiOnalist.

Poison from House Fly.

HN4NEM $500 rNHE H"#r
The state Of Minnesota has started
. campaign against the common
house ny. r. 4. Washburn, state en-.
t0molegist, Is behind the attack on
the insect and he declares In a cir
cular he is sending broadcast through
the state that the ny is the carrier Of
typhoid, consumption aand! cholera.
NJ. Washburn's circular is a muck
raking article. He does not hesitate
to call q spade q spade, nor IS he 10th
to tell just what kind Of filth flies
breed In and live upon, nor how they
are able each day to carry to thou
sands OF persons the germs Of some
deadly disease.
Accompanying Mr.. Washburn's cir
cular is the facsimile of a poster is
sued by the Florida state board OF
health entitled From Flies and
Filth TO Food and Fever" 1t con.
tains an acostic that sums up the
whole campaign. The acrostic reads:
Flies are disease breeders.
Live and breed in all kinds OF filth.
Infect food and drink By germ-laden feet.
Each female fly can lay $50 eggs.
Should be kept out Of dwellings,
The new name typhoid fly has been
given the house fly because although
q large percentage Of typhoid comes
from the water supply, the fly, by
carrying germs of typhoid and depos-
iting them in or IN food, has proved
to be an active mean OF spreading
the disease. 1t is claimed that there
are in this country annually more
than 2OO,O 900 cases Of typhoid, about
one-eighth Of which result fatally.
MI. Woshburn suggests that every
house be screened and that all house
wifes keep q sufficient supply OF
sticky ny paper about the house to
catch the flies that manage to get In,
despite the Greens. He also advises
that pyrethrun be allowed to smolder
slowly In q pan on a stove because the
fumes will stupefy all flies In a tight
~ closed room.
"Remember'' says Mr.. Washburn in
conclusion, "the house fly is q menace
to the health Of your children and
yourself. Its new name-'typhoid
fy'-is significant"

ELIOT SOUNDS WARNING
POINTS OUT PERIL OF TRUST IN
WATERFALLS AND COAL.
President of National Conservation AS.
sociation Urges Immediate Action
to Prevent Control of Sources.

New York City.-Dr. Charles W.
Eliot, as president of the National
Conservation association, has author
lied the following statement:
"The National Conservation associa
ton is convinced of the urgent need
of immediate measures to prevent the
control of the great sources of heat
and mechanical power in the United
States from being seized by monopo-
listic organizations, and to secure the
best development of these sources in
the interest of the whole people.
These sources are waterfalls and coal.
Under the existing laws, the wisest
development is practically impossible.
The coal lands in the possession Of
the United States are being rapidly
absorbed under the present inadequate
law. The great fields of Alaska, es-
timated to contain 15,000,000,000 tons,
still remain the heritage of the peo-
pie. But bad as is the general coal
land law of the United States, that of
Alaska is even worse, for there the
government is absolutely limited to
charge of $40 an acre, which, ac-
cording to public statement by the
director Of the United States Geo.
logical Survey. is less than one-tenth
of the real value of these coal lands.
The situation with respect to water
power development, both in the public
domain and on navigable streams. is
substantially similar to that with re-
spect to coal. The water powers can
not be effectively developed in the
public interest under the existing law.
I'VE, therefore. appeal to the Amer
lean people to bring the urgent needs
of the situation to the attention of
their representatives in congress, in
order that comprehensive legislation
upon this vital matter may be enacted
at the next session of congress. To
this end, every individual citizen is
urged to do his part and to act at
once"

Mistake Somewhere.

A story comes from a Kentucky
town that is worth repeating. There
lives there a woman who says that
she has immediate communion with
the Almighty, and now and then de-
livers to those of common clay a mes
sage that she has received from en-
high. The fact that these messages
sometimes take on a very Materials
tic hue does not alter their effective
ness, in her opinion.
One day she went into the Office Of
a well known attorney and approached
him solemnly as one about to reveal an
awe-inspiring secret
The Lord sent me to you for S25,"
she announced.
The attorney looked up and smiled.
THAT must be a mistake" he re-
piled, blandly, because the Lord
knows have not got it,
Celestial communication was there
upon broken off.

MRS. ASTOR FREE WOMAN
Granted a Divorce from Col. John ia
cob Astor Without Scandal-Re-
ceives s1o 100000 Cash Alimony.

New York City.-Mrs. Ava Willing
Astor has been granted an inter
locutory decree of divorce from Col.
John Jacob Astor, head of the Astor
family, after court proceedings occu-
pying about five minutes. AS expect
ed, the papers containing the testi
mony were then sealed, and will prob
ably never again see the light of day
Mrs. Astor it is understood, receives
$l0,0000O0 cash alimony.
Divorce without scandal as ex-
emplified in the case of the Astors, is
usually secured through "manufac-
tured" evidence. By this is not meant
that the evidence is faxed but that
one party to the suit, in order to give
the other sufficient evidence, goes
through the form of committing wrong
without actually rendering himself
morally culpable. In the case of the
Astors it is said that Col. Astor a few
months ago made a trip up the river
Nile. He went in his yacht as far as
he could go, and then proceeded in a
luxurious "dahabiyeh." One of the
party accompanying him was a beau
tiful young New York woman, whose
social standing in the city is not, by
any means, the same as Col. Astor's.
1t was reported at the time that this
trip was made not because of any at
tachment on the part of Col. Astor,
but simply as background" as it
might be called for divorce.

AS TO the Hesslan Ely.

The Hessian fly is German product
which was conceived in iniquity and
born in sauerkraut. 1t is long, rangy
fly with bite like steel trap, and it
lAys pale blue. oblong egg at the
rate of 10000 an hour. The Hessian
fly will eat anything from decayed
custard pie to a glass inkwell, but its
favorite dish is the double neck of a
fat gent. This bird can perform a
two-step on sticky fly-paper without
crooking its toes, and is proof against
rough on rats, the daisy fly killer, and
a strychnine hypodermic. No Hessian
fly was ever known to die of anything
but old age, which accounts for the
color of its whiskers. If 1t ever fas-
tens upon your jowl, it will stay until
removed by the undertaker.-Man-

AUTO PLUNGES INTO RIVER
Machine Goes Through Open Draw in
Chicago and Three People
Lose Their Lives.

Chicago, Ill.-Plunging over the
abutment of the east side of the Jack
son street bridge, a big automobile
carried at least one man and two
women to their death in the river dur
ing the darkness of the night. There
is a report that the machine contained
six persons, but this cannot be veri-
fed.
The bridge was turned to allow a
steamer to pass and the driver Of the
automobile evidently did not see the
river yawning before him. The big
automobile. which was going at the
rate of 80 miles an hour, shot far out
into the stream and the next moment
screams of terrified occupants strug-
Cling in the water reached persons on
the banks. 1t was not until late that
any clew could be secured as to the
identity of the victims. 1t is believed
that the automobile belonged to r. T.

women are unknown. 1t was said at
the Automobile club that Miles was
not in the machine.

from that company before he was
even suspected of being thief by his
superiors in the railroad service. An
nouncement to this effect was made
November from the Office of Albert
III. Harris, vice president of the Big
Four. Warriner has turned over to the
company property amounting to more
than 100000 and there will be re,
ceived from the American Surety Co.
on his bond $4,000 He has been ar
rested and is now held to await the
action of the grand jury at Cincinnati.
His coolness was astonishing as he
made his confession to us" said Mr..
Harris. "He told us that woman
had been blackmailing him for years,
This woman, he said, found out
through Cooke, whose record in Chi.
cago Is being told by the papers, that
there was something wrong in his Of
fee. Then she swooped down on him.
No blackmailer could have enjoyed
her prey better than this woman did,

about year ago that he could never
pull out. Then he became desperate
and took money by the handfuls."

BABY's COMING MEANT MUCH
Japanese Rejoicing Over Incident
Somewhat Hard for American
to Understand.

"Some years ago, an American
friend and l were passing through a
street in the city of Tokyo" says
Adachi Kinnosuke 1--WE came upon
gateway which smiled like May-day
festival, and, like it, was full of peo-
pie.
Whats all this fuss about?" my
friend asked me. "Have they hit a
gold mine?"
No; they had not. To the good peo-
pie the occasion meant deal more
than the discovery of gold. 1t was the
coming of baby. The proud parents
were sending out messengers into the
four corners of the city announcing
the glad tidings of exceeding great
joy. And l told my American friend:
do your people make such fuss
about baby? Babies are born every
day in this country, aren't they?"
Which was true. But we look upon
this matter entirely in different
way. 1t may be that this is one Of
the relics of the past, but we put en-
phasis upon the continuation of q
family line. Confucius, whose ghost
is much more powerful in Japan of to-
day than all the prophets and philoso-
pliers now living put together, made
childlessness just ground for di-
vorce. The coming of the baby means
to mother more than fashionable
garment. 1t is the social insignium
with the Japanese mother; nothing de-
fines her social rank as finally as the
baby.
The Nippon society is heartless to
the childless mother; it brands her as
the stone-woman;" it exposes her to
the CALLING pity of all her more fa'
vored sisters. In the sterner days OF
the samural ideal, she was an object
to be summed, like leper. The
childless mother did not dare to i'm
pose herself upon society. A rather
far cry, this. from the fashionable
Fifth avenue atmosphere, isn't it?

AS to Five Feet of Books.

What won't fat will fill, saith the
adage, and filling it is that chiefly
concerns us, not only in respect of
foodstuffs, but literature as well
That's why five feet of books won't do
The amount of it is, we've got to be
pleasantly engaged, and with our ad-
vance in culture chewing-gum isn't
enougb-hence the need of books, and
plenty of them.
Half the meat, masticated fine,
would afford twice the nutriment, but
nutriment is about the last thing we
think of. Five feet of books means
mental FIetcherism, and any kind OF
Fletcherism is a bore.
No, we shall still demand our yards
and rods and miles of books that swal-
low easily and keep us comfortably
distended.-Puck.
