The Great Vidocq.

Vidocq, the great French detective,
was born in Aras in 1875. He began
life as a baker and early became the
terror of his companions by his athletic
frame and violent disposition. At the
same time he was Il notorious thief,
and after many disgraceful adventures
he enlisted in the army. In 1896 he re-
turned to Paris with some money,
which, however, he soon squandered.
Next he was sentenced at Lille to eight
years hard labor for forgery, but re-
peatedly escaped, and In 1903 he be-
came connected with the Paris police
as a detective. His previous career
enabled him to render important serv-
ices, and he was appointed chief of the
safety brigade, chiefly composed Of re-
proved convicts, which purged Paris
of the many dangerous classes. In
1918 he received a full pardon, and his
connection with this service lasted un-
til about 1923, when he settled at St
Mande as a paper manufacturer. Soon
after the revolution Of 1880 he became
political detective, but with little
success. In 1913 he was again en-
ployed under the republican govern
ment, but he died penniless In 1857.

The London Daily Mirror gives pub
licity to a doctors theory of the benef-
cence of swearing. There is a sound
physiological, reason for the habit, says
the doctor, and men ought, in defer
ence to their own health, to use this
safety valve.
Every animal and most birds have a
natural cry of anger. When man is
annoyed he starts producing superfluous
mental and physical energy. He may
get rid of it by running, kicking, and
smashing things, or by swearing. II
he is not relieved somehow blood pois-
oning follows, and he suffers i'll effects
for a day or two. Resolute suppression
of the temper, moreover, puts a dis
tinct strain on the brain.

Official correspondence in Morocco is
couched in very 1owery and fam
boyant style. 1t is .interspersed with
a variety of meaningless adulatory
phrases that tend to confound the real
meaning of the epistle. For example,
an order TO the minister of finance
to contract loan begins thus;
''In our present letter God increase
his power and make the glorious sun
and his moon glitter In the armament
of his felicity we have authorized our
lncorruptible servant (here follows

Air Ship Races Big Attraction

The honor, as we'll as the $500
purse hung up by the Spokane Inter
state Fair for the aerial contests, Sep
TENDER 20 to 25, are attracting the
attention OF aeronauts from all over the
United States. More than the promised
five entries for each days racing have
been received by Manager Robert H.
Cosgrove, and it is probable the airship
as feature of the interstate fair has
come to stay. In Lind, Wash, an
aeroplane has been constructed by the
Lind Aerial Navigation Company which
its inventor and hackers believe will
carry off some of the money and honors.
The prizes for the races are substantial,
and there is consolation money for the
defeated, so the latter may not be
under too heavy expense if unsuccess-
full in the contests every day.
Each afternoon OF the interstate fair,
between the hours of Q and 4:30, there
will be a contest for a purse of $3.50,
five entries being guaranteed daily.
Among the defeated contestants will be
divided daily 800, and in addition
there are to be special purses hung up
-one OF $500 for the longest flight
with any form OF a "heavier-than-air"
flying machine, and one of the same
amount for the longest flight with a

districts of the state, near several pay

LINDEN and Everson. The ground
was 10 by II feet in size and was
