KEEP LANGUAGE AND CUSTOMS
Dutch Impress Clearly Visible Among Inhabitants of Old Villages
 Up the Hudson.

Dutch language and customs still prevail to surprising extent in the old villages up the Hudson, according to Peter c. Barker of Buffalo, N. Y.
 The modern housekeeper from the city" said MT. Barker, who takes Q picturesque dwelling, built about 1890, for summer home, is confronted by among these are words of one pronun- citation in Dutch and English, but of totally different meaning. For in stance, her help obtained from the village will probably glance about the kitchen after finishing her morning S work, and chant in a sing-song that might be pointed off thus: I ain't done no work-what I meant to do this mawnin'-yet An'-I'll jus file up the kitchen floor. To the mistress surprise the file proves to be mop, file being old Dutch for any bit of cloth used for cleaning, from wash cloth to floor cloth.
 Another evidence of descent is the use made of water. The old houses were invariably located where advan- tage might be taken of a running stream, no matter how small At a point near the kitchen door this was damned, water wheel inserted, and power obtained for the churn or turn spit. To-day this power equals mo- tor for running an ice-cream freezer, sewing machine, an egg beater or a coffee mill"

Geo. Barr McCutcheon's "Graus- tark which comes to the opera

Misplaced.

A young mother has just been deep ly shocked as the result of her at tempted religious instruction to her fve-year-old daughter. The vehicle se- lected as her favorite illustration in these teachings was picture of the Madonna and Child" in the library wall. What she actually succeeded in fixing in the youngsters brain was that the supreme being whose picture hung before them was strictly a resi-. dent of churches and ever to be spok- en of with bated breath.
 So much accomplished. the child was taken on shopping expedition. Scarcely were they across the thresh- old before the young mother was brought to a crimson-faced standstill by her little daughters mortified whis. per: "Oh, mammal" as she pointed to counter full of pictures, What IS God doing in the ten-cent store?"

The fiat dweller hardly recognized the janitor. he was so polite. SO mod est, so self-effacing, as 1t were, as he stood at the door, his hat in his hand
 "Is your kitchen still leaking" he asked her softly.
 Still leaking!" she replied with scorn. It has been leaking a year ever since she moved upstairs.
 May I come in and look at it." still more softly asked the janitor.
 She opened the door wide. He en- tered. He stood in the kitchen, look ing up at the ceiling, at several holes through which the water came batter ing, at the disfiguring splotches made by the leaks that had been leaking a year.
 Tt does leak, doesn't it?" he queried.
 It was too much. The flat dweller went to washing her breakfast dishes left over in the sink.
 Would you like large tub?" asked the janitor presently. when he ob- served that some of the leaks splashed on the floor. Because the water is going into the next floor and spelling the ceiling there"
 No. thank you" answered the fiat dwelier politely, still at her dishes, q am leaving it like that purposely. I've stood 1t a year. If the people below have to stand it for another year may. be they'll make you mend the roof"

No Cheap Resorts Near Paris,


 It is a remarkable thing, but in the near neighborhood of Paris there are but very few places where one can go and spend cheap holiday, and take ones family For one thing, milk is always difficult to get in country places; it is all sent to the nearest town or the ground is cultivated. Pas. ture land is rare in France, and milk is dear The same with the fruit and vegetables-they all go away to the towns. Apropos of this. there is h butcher in Barbizon who enjoys a unique position. He is the only one within five or six miles, and if you grumble at him. he says, The tram. way leaves in two hours; see if you can get better in the next town-or try the forest, if my meat doesn't rlaase vOu!"

Bilious People
 Try It Free

Do not ignore the little disorders" of the system. The liver, for example, is a particularly needful little organ, but must be active to be of any use. When it is active it creates gastric juices that help to make digestion perfect, and then you are we'll. When it is not active 1t becomes what IS known as torpid" and promptly pro- duces biliousness.
 There Is no better cure for biliousness or any of the symptoms of liver trouble than pr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. the wonderful laxative tonic of which so much praise is heard. It is pleasant to take (un- like pills and powders and such things) and acts very gently, moving the bowels without grlping, toning the stomach ana arouSing the liver to activity, thus scien- tifically curing such conditions as bilious ness, torpid liver, foul breath. sallow or stipation, loss of appetite, indigestion, stomach nervousness, etc., all of which are due to a slow liver.
 Mack Clark, of Burlington, Ky, suffered for five years from biliousness and cured himself with pr. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin. Noah B. Hatfield, of Zalma, Mo, found 1t the best medicine in the world for his biliousness.
 You can buy 5O-cent or s1 bottle of any druggist, for they all sell it. You can fails to cure you the money will be re- funded. This remedy is guaranteed How ever, if you would rather try it without expense before buying. send your name to the doctor and free sample bottle will be sent to your home. Use it and if you bottle of your druggist We will rest on the verdict of what this sample does .

SUGAR MEN NOW ON
TRIAL FOR FRAUDS

OF UNDERWEIGHING
Uncle Sans Lawyer Says That he
Can Produce Evidence That
the Government Was
Defrauded

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-The trial of
James r. Bendernagel former man
ager of the American Sugar Rehnlhg
companys Williamsburg plant, ana hVe
other employees of the company accused
with him of underWeighing frauds, was
resumed today
I'VE expect to prove beyond a doubt,
declared Attorney Wilfred T. benson
in his opening statement, 'that since
the very date of the imposition of du-
ties on sugar the Havemeyer and Elder
lefneries, the latter owned by the
American Sugar Refining company, mas
defrauded the government of a portion
of the duty charged
Mr.. Denison told the jury the now
familiar story of the trick scales and a
hole and a wire in each, by means OF
which the weighers are alleged to nave
manipulated the scale beam to make
the sugar weigh less.
1.-THE special office of Mr.. Benderna-
gel was to provide the sinews of war;
said Mr.. Denison, who added that the
government expected to prove that Oil
yer Splitter, Bendernageps right-hand
man, the dock superintendent and Ben
dernagel himself saw to ii that any
government wcighers who were astute
enough to discover ANYTHING wrong
were removed"
Taking of evidence was begun with
the examination of Thomas B. Nc
laughing chief entry clerk of the Gus
toms house, who presented the papers
of the steamer Eva, which in 1906
brought the cargo of sugar about which
the testimony of the government is to
center, to fasten frauds upon the de-
PENDANTS.
