Manuansse Steel

Manganese steel is now generally
recognized as being the only suitable
material for street railway track work
where any large amount OF traffic is
to be dealt with, and, as Is we'll known
by street railway engineers, this ma
terIal cannot be dealt with by the or.
binary cutting tools, l. e., chisels,
saws, files, ETC., owing to the extreme
hardness OF the material.

 Story of Crime.

Shawnee, Okla-A sensational sto- ry was told on the witness stand in the district court Friday by Virgil Biggers, until recently county attor- ney of Pottawatomie county and now under indictment for accepting bribe from jointists and bootleggers of Shawnee.

Biggers reviewed a meeting in which Mabon and himself met representatives of the jointists and agreed upon terms of immunity He admitted receiving an envelope containing $500 from two jointists the same being delivered to him by County Commissioner Robert Hagar. Of this sum he testified that he gave Judge Mabon @400, Hagar S100 and kept the rest himself. The state charges that the combination received S10,000 for protection within IA months.

White is Better Than Negro.

New York.-A negro and a. white man do not suffer equal hu- initiation in the eyes of the law for false arrest, according to the appel late division of the supreme court which sustained an order of Justice Dugro in the supreme court, reducing the amount of damages awarded George Griffin, a Pullman porter from S2,500 to $500
 In his order Justice Dugro said:
 While in some senses the negro, under the law, is just as good a man as the president of the United States, it would be bad argument to say that he is just as good in some re- spects. The damages in a case of this kind depends on a mans stand. ing and circumstances. If he is. col ored, that fact should be considered ''

THINK HARD 1t Pays to Think About Food.

The minimizing life some people lead often causes trouble and sickness, il. lustrated in the experience of a lady in Fond Du Lac, Wis.
 About four years ago I suffered dreadfully from indigestion, always having eaten whatever I liked, not thinking of the digestible qualities. This indigestion caused palpitation of the heart so badly I could not walk up a flight of stairs without sitting down once or twice to regain breath and strength.
 T became alarmed and tried dieting, wore my clothes very loose, and many other remedies, but found no relief.
 Hearing of the virtues of Grape Nuts and Postum, I commenced using them in place of my usual breakfast of coffee, cakes, or hot biscuit, and in one weeks time I was relieved of sour stomach and other ills attending indi- gestion. In months time my heart was performing it's functions naturally and l could climb stairs and hills and walk long distances.
 '1 gained ten pounds in this short time, and my skin became clear and I completely regained my health and strength. I continue to use Grape Nuts and Postum for feel that owe my good health entirely to their use. There's Reason.>
 'I like the delicious favour of Grape Nuts and by making Postum accord ing to directions, it tastes similar to mild high grade coffee.'

Springfield, Ill.-The bill regulating hotels and lodging houses, which was originally drafted by Representative H. A. Shepherd, requiring that hotel bed sheets should be nine feet in length, was passed by the house by a vote of 80 to 0.

The bill also provides that rope suitably knotted be furnished in all upper rooms in hotels not equip ped with permanent fire escapes.

The way his voice dropped at the last

"Oh, have you indeed a talisman?"
he humored her. And it was as if he
said, "Oh, have you a doll?' He did
not even turn his head to loo at her.
She was chilled. She felt the disap-
pointment, that his quick smile had
l%ightened, return upon her. She hardly
noticed the rise of the curtain OF the
second little play. and the singing
voices did not reach her with any poign-
ancy. She was vaguely aware of

a sharper brilliance, as if, like an eye,
it had moods, and this was one of its
moments of excitement. In its ex-
traordinary luster it seemed to possess
a beauty that could not be valued; and
she wanted to hold it up to Kerr, to
