Thackeray's Satire.

Thackeray created quite erroneous impressions of himself by often indulg- ing in irony in the presence of people who were incapable of understanding it. One curious instance which he gave was this: Thackeray had been dining at the Garrick and was talking in the smoking room after dinner with vari- ous club acquaintances. One of them happening to have left his cigar case at home. Thackeray. though disliking the man. who was d notorious tui, hunter. good naturedly offered him one of his cigars The man accepted he cigar, but. not finding il to his liking. had the bad taste to say to ThacieraE.

BLIND SCHOOL
 FOR EIGHT MONTHS

Little Rock, Aug. 11-In order that no child may be overlooked who is entitled to the emoluments of the Arkansas School for the Blind, s. D. Lucas, superintendent of the institu- tion, has commenced a close study of the reports of the county examiners of schools, who are required by law to report all blind children in their counties.
 In going over the report of about 50 counties, Supt. Lucas has found ten children who have never been in the blind school before, yet are of a school age. He expects to find about twelve additional children this year and if they can be induced to accept free education at the ex- pense of the state, the 1910 attend ance of the school will be 1S0, in- stead of 113 as it was last year. Supt Lucas announced that the school will open this year the first Monday in October and will be oper- ated the full eight months.
 This will give the students much more work than ever before, for when the school was operated the full term heretofore it has had only one ses- sion daily, but Supt. Lucas insists on two sesion each day as the public schools. are operated. Although the school was in session but seven months last year on account of the crowded into it than the previous eight month terms.

One of the attaches of the American embassy at London tells story where in Michael Joseph Barry, the poet, who was appointed police magistrate in Dublin, was the principal figure. There was brought before him an Irish American charged with suspicious con duct. The officer making the arrest stated, among other things, that the culprit was wearing Republican hat"

IN GARB OF A TRAMP.
Wealthy Hungarian Is Making Tour of
the World.

New York, July 13.-Wearing the
that he is poor man, Lajos Berrar,
one of the wealthiest land owners of
eastern Hungary, has arrived here on
Although over IS years of age, Mr..
Berrar has never been absent from his
frontier home before. and he entertains
the idea that America is filed with
brigands and that only unceasing vigi
lance and the avoidance of external
signs of prosperity can save him from
being robbed before he gets back TO
Tizsfuehred, his native town. When
he registered at a local hotel, with two
companions both husky six foOterS, he
gave orders that he was not to be ap-
preached by any strangers.
One of the aged mans companions is
a nephew, Michael Berrar, professor or
chemistry in a school at Budapest. His
other companion is an Italian who acts
as interpreter. This man said, explain
ing the elder Mr.. Berrar's eccentric
garb and customs:
Life on the frontier of Hungary Is
very primitive, as it lies next to the
outposts of Turkey and the folks there
have strange ideas about the other
parts of the world. Mr.. Berrar has
feared all along that if he dressed in
style he would be robbed. We have re-
peatedly begged him to buy new
clothes and visit the barber, but he
clings to his old clothes and ways, as
serting that no one would rob man
who did not look prosperous: He has
heard strange tales of robberies in

Curtiss Drops Mimic Bombs on Pre-

1t may be interesting to our readers
to know that Bohumir Kryl is a dis

ing on the soldiers monument in In
dianapolis, and his carving was at
tracing nation wide attention; Kryl
was chosen, and the artistic world
knows with what success the task was
carried out. This was the last piece of
sculpture that Kryl ever did-and his
best. Immediately thereafter at the
suggestion of Sousa, he laid down the
chisel and adopted the cornet as his
future instrument of artistic express

SHOT FULL OF HOLES.
Wounded Woman Found in Bed Be
side Sleeping Child.

New York, July 13.-Mrs. Antoin-
cite Skora, wife of Karl Skora, former
ly a teacher in the University of Kra-
kow, Poland, was found in bed beside
her sleeping child, boy of 8, at her
home early today, with three bullet
wounds in her body and a fourth in
her hand.
This woman's night clothes were
blazing when the police arrived but
the child had not been awakened.
Mrs. Skora first told the police that
she had been shot by robbers, but let
tiers were found which revealed that
the woman had entered a suicide pact
on account of a love affair.
The letters were from Casimir
Malski, a highly educated young Pole.
Later in Bellevue hospital, when
Malski was taken before her, she ad-
nitted he had shot her and then told
the police that the two had joined in
a suicide pact but he had ben unable
to take his own life because after he
had reloaded his revolver the cart
ridges missed fire. The suicide pact,
according to Mrs. Skora, who is a
handsome woman of 81, was the out
growth of a boy and girl love affair
which had its inception when she and
Malski were in school together in Po-
land.

GAIN FOR SUFFRAGE.
House of Commons Passes Second
Reading of the Bill.

London, July 13.-The house of
common, by vote 290 to 100, passed
the second reading of the women's
suffrage bill, for which David James
Shackleton, labor member from the
Clitheroe division of Lancashire, is
the sponsor. The bill provides for
granting the parliamentary franchise
to women who are possessed by the
proper qualifications and who already
exercise the franchise in municipal
elections.
The unprecedented large majority
of 109 gives an impetus to woman suf-
frage, but many obstacles must yet
be overcome before the principle is
legaIized by the necessary majority
of las. The house subsequently re-
ferred the bill to a committee of the
whole which means that the bill will
be shelved until next year.

been stretched a good deal in Kansas
but that is beyond the breaking point.
Mr.. Brady evidently does not object
to the state printing plant making the
blank books for the various state in
situations, thus saving the state many
thousand dollars a year, but if the same
state printing plant, owned by the peo-
pie and supported by the people, at
tempts tc make the county plank books
and save the people $4,000 a year more
he throws up his hands in horror and
cries Socialism,
Was it socialism or just plain bust
ness sense for the state to invest $780,
600 in printing plant and do its own
printing, thus wiping out the state
printing graft and saving over $4,000
a year. Can you find a member of the
legislature who will introduce bill to
do away with the state printing plant
and go back to the old way. MI. Brady
was member of the last senate but
he proposed no such legislation.
The pay for the state blank books
and the pay for the county blank
books both come out of the people
taxes. The pay for both is collected
by the county treasurer at the same
time and in the same way. Then why
is it right for the people to have their
state record books made at their own
plant and wrong to have their county
record books made at the same plant?
Mr.. Brady also urges that this pro-
position would be 'robbing the local
printer of his just dues What bum
combei THE LOCAL PRINTERS DO
NOT MAKE BLANK BOOKS. I would
call Mr.. Brady's attention to the fact
that in over ninety counties i'll Kan
sas there is not a single printing plant
which makes blank booksi Practically
all of the blank books used by the
counties of Kansas are made by a few
firms which have combined on prices
and divided the territory, thus killing
all competition. Mr.. Brady is simply
trying to make an appeal to the preju-
dice of the people against their common
sense and judgment. p
The fact still remains that more than
$4,000 year can be saved to the tax
payers of Kansas by having uniform
county records and county blank books
made at the state printing plant.
