A proposal by a Buffalo alderman
Nthat the city purchase the spot on the
Pan-American exposition grounds
where President Mckinley was shot
on September 6, 1901, is vigorously
attacked by the Evening News. 1.-THE
spot where Buffalo babe farewell to
all that was mortal of the murdered
president is in the possession of the
city" says the News. That is where
his coffin rested in the city hall, on
the day of his funeral, and the place
is suitably and permanently marked
by a brass tablet. There is nothing
to be proud of or to recall as an in
SEPARATION in the assassination. McKin-
ley is best remembered otherwise. 1t
is not best to give to the destructive
class, of which Czolgosz was a rep
resentative, any permanent memorial
of their deeds"

as he professor up at Columbian"
asked the girl who was reading his
card.
"a professor at Columbia! Well, l
should say not" replied the young
woman who knew him.
1T says here on his card one Of
those halls at Columbia, so l thought
maybe he lectured there, or some
thing"
mo, he doesn't. He's a lawyer, a
plain. ordinary, everyday lawyer. He
just lives up there because he likes.
Once he had to go there in connec-
ton with a case. He liked the sur
roundings so much that he immediate
ly paid some tuition fees, and went to
live there. He has a beautiful room,
the board is fine. Of course, he had
to join some class, so he decided on
geology. He attended one or two lee
lures just to show his good faith, and
really became interested, and now he
is working hard at it. It just goes to
show that it's a good thing for a col
lege to have an ideal location such as
Columbia has"

INTENDED TO MOLLIFY SPIRIT
Green Boush Placed on New Houses
Is a Survival of French
Superstition.

The custom originated from the SUI
perstition prevalent centuries ago
that every tree is inhabited by a
spirit Consequently it was believed
that every time tree was felled an
other spirit was dispossessed, and this
was supposed to cause some bitter
ness on his part against society
Rather than risk having these home
less and disgruntled spirits vent their
i'll feeling upon the houses under con-
struction or upon the builders, says
Van Norden's Magazine, a branch
was planted on the highest part Of the
house for their occupancy. They were
then supposed to be notified, and If
they remained so until the roof was
put on any evil design contemplated
would prove harmless, for the spell
would be broken.

Long-Range "Quake Hunting"


Standing by the seismograph,
Charles F. Marvin, chief of the instru-
ment division of the weather bureau,
noted enc day that the lines made
by the little tracing pencil indicated
a CONFUSION of the earth about 1000
miles from Washington. No reports
had been received for days after as
to where this disturbance had &C.
curred--it might have been in the
Southern Hemisphere, in Alaska, or
somewhere in the Atlantic or Pacific
oceans. If it had not occurred near
some center of population 1t might
have been years before anything was
heard of it. If the earthquake had
taken place at sea 1t would manifest
itself in tidal waves, striking against
the nearest coast line. Some scien-
lists placed the probable location of
the superficial effect in Asia, some
where about 1000 miles from London;
and later this was almost exactly
verified by a dispatch from Persia
stating that on that date Luristan,
savage and remote country among the
ranges, had been devastated, with
loss of many villages and 5000 lives.

tional Magazine.

The Laborer Eats Food That Would

There 1 got very little exercise and
drinking strong coffee, my nerves
were unsteady and my stomach got
weak and was soon very sick man.

stopped eating everything which l
thought might affect me except coffee,
but still my condition grew worse, and
l was all but wreck.
Il finally quit coffee and COM
menced to use Postum a few years
ago, and l am speaking the truth
when l say, my condition commenced
to improve Immediately and today
am well and can eat anything want
without any bad effects, all due to
shifting from coffee to Postum.
Il told my wife today l believed 1

postum to go with 1t.

some of our largest insurance COM
panies are now trying to establish.
The Metropolitan Life recently ap-
piled for permission to erect a sana-
forum for it's policy holders and en-
ployes afflicted with tuberculosis, but
che application was refused on grounds
of Illegally by New York State Super
intendent of Insurance Hotchkiss. The
company is, however, conducting an
active educational campaign by dis
tributing 100000 pamphlets among
its policy holders. The Provident

free medical advice Several fraternal
orders, notably the Modern Woodmen,
Knights of Pythias, Royal League,
Royal Arcanum and Workmen's Cir
Gle, have already established or are
contemplating the erection of sana'
toria for their tuberculous members.

HAD AWFUL WEEPING ECZEMA
Face and Neck Were Raw-Terrible
Itching, Inflammation and Soreness
ALI Treatments Failed.
cutieura Proved a Great Success.

Eczema began over the top Of my
ear. 1t cracked and then began to
spread. I had three different doctors
and tried several things, but they did
me no good. At last one side Of my
face and my neck were raw. The
water ran out Of it SO that I had to
wear medicated cotton, and 1t was so
inflamed and sore that / had to put
a piece of cloth over my pillow to keep
the water from it, and 1t would stain
the cloth a sort of yellow. The &C.
matched so that 1t seemed as though
I could tear my face all to pieces.
Then I began to use the Cuticura Soap
and Ointment, and it was not more
than three months before 1t was all
healed up. Miss Ann Pearsons, North
