MODEL CHILDREN'S HOME

No problem more puzzling than that
of the destitute child confronts the
practical sociologist; and perhaps no
single branch of philanthropy HI sue
ceeded less in approximating the in
stitution to the home.
Iona, Mimi. possesses a home for
destitute children that in many re-
spects is unusual. Both boys and girls
are cared for. Nc child is ever given
out to be adopted. When a boy
reaches the G Of twenty-one he
leaves the home and boards out. Girls
remain until they marry or take up
some calling hat leads them else
where.
When a boy is sixteen he starts to
work. Many Of the girls teach school.
coming to the home every Friday and
remaining there until Monday. There
are no uniforms, and no Unnecessary
rules, the intention being to make the
home as nearly like a family home as
possible.
The children are allowed to invite
friends to meals or to stay over night
occasionally, and after attaining to
the dignity of seventeen years they
are permitted to return these visits.
Thus they lose the feeling that they
are inmates" of an institution and
enjoy some of the advantages of real
home life.
Every boy and girl becomes self
supporting, and the records of this
unique establishment arc signal testi-
monials to its success.

One of the curiosities Of natur to
be seen in Argentina is the rocking
stone of Tandil, 2O5 miles from Buenos
Ayres, on the Southern railway. The
stone measures IS feet in height by 16
in diameter and. apparently, is bal
anced on the crest of a huge mass Of
solid rock. The phenomenon is ex-
planned by the fact of a circular pro
trusion on the under side of the stone
which, fitting snugly into a depres-
sion In the foundation, holds it in
place. A strong wind causes it to
oscillate p%erceptibly.

STRANGE RAIN OF SULPHUR

A strange fall of rain occurred at
Wiener, in Germany, during the
course of a recent thunderstorm. Aft
er the storm the roads were left pow
dered with sulphur and the air was
pervaded with a strong sickly odor.
The phenomenon, which caused a
panic, was generally ascribed to the
comet. The meteorological authori-
ties, however, consider that the sui
phur was carried by clouds from
some distant volcano.

Taft Will Not
Step Aside for
Mr.. Roosevelt
President Refuses to Dignity Story
by Statement-No Aptitude for
Political By-Play.

SPOKANE, Wash, Sept. 1.-THE publica-
ton of a story in certain newspapers yes
terday and today purporting to come from
Beverly and announcing that President
Taft had decided 20 step aside as q presl-
Dental candidate in 1912 to make way for
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. brought many
inquiries to the summer capital today. 1t
was decided not to dignity the story, which
is reported to be without any foundation
whatever, with a statement.
1t can be stated there has been no change
in the presidents attitude toward a second
term since he told a number of friends a
few months ago that he would accept a
second nomination il his party desired it.
The president. it is said. is not considering
his chances for a second term one way or
the other at this time. From the first he
has said that he would devote himself to
carrying out as nearly as possible the
pledges of the platform on which he was
elected for a four-yesr term. Mr.. Taft, IL
is pointed out, does not know how to play
politics and he has been quoted as saying
that he would not do so II he could.
The fact that he has often in his speeches
referred to the fact that he has only the
remainder of his present term to serve
means, IL is stated here, that Mr. Taft
does not feel that he can nominate himself
for the nomination. ..
The president starts for New Haven and
Cincinnati Sunday night. lie will be away
from Beverly two weeks, returning here
October to remain until the 18th.

Struck Three Times in Leg by Bull
lets Fired by Man Named

Following a quarrel of about a days
standing, man by the name of Stoner
shot and badly wounded Mike Berry in the
rear of Lewis Belts barn, 25li North Sew
enteenth street Friday evening. Berry was
sitting on a wheebarrow talking TO a friend

At this Stoner pulled gun and fired four
shots at him. three OF them talking eff
feet. Stoner made his getaway and the
police as yet have been unable to find
him. The three bullets. all within space
that could be covered with a half dollar,
struck Berry Just above the ankle of the
right leg, breaking both bones in a serious
fracture Berry was taken TO the st.
Joseph hospital and attended by Police
Surgeons Harris and Bishop The leg will
doubtless have TO be amputated.
Berry's home is In Creston, la. Since
yesterday he has been rooming at s6 North
Sixteenth street. but he previously roomed
at the jefferson hotel. 1t seems that Stoner
brought woman TO Berry's room two or
three days ago and that Berry kicked them
out
Stoner claimed to be a cement worker and
was trying to get Berry to work for him.
The men around the barn say that he was
peddler and had been keeping a horse

As to the hearings on rate matters

to admit that the railroad case was

Mr. McVann believes that the present
