SLEZAK MATINEE IDOL
FOR GIRLS OF VIENNA

Vienna.-Leo SleZak, the gigantic
Slav tenor, left for New York on
Wednesday and his last performance
at the Imperial Opera House was
notable farewell celebration. SleZak
appeared in Lohengrin. All during
the opera he was the object OF the
most enthusiastic ovations.
At it's close hundreds of his ad-
mirers, most of them young women
and girls, rushed pell nell into the
singers dressing room. The disor-
der became so pronounced that the
police had to be called in. The wo-
men were crushed and hustled, the
policemen showed, doors were bro
ken and poor Slezak, who at this mo-
ment looked more like somebody just
getting out of bed than like Lohen-
grin, was forced to sign his name on
hundreds of photographs and picture
postcards and to distribute locks OF
his hair by the handful.
The women then retreated in tri-
umph and their pride was turned to
ridicule the next morning when they
| learned that the willy singer, who
had received a warning of what was
coming had provided against the at
tempt to shear him by buying UP the
clipped refuse of black hair from 9
number of barbershops.

To Rid Poultry House of Vcrmin.
Now is the time to wage war
against vermin in the poultry house
in order to get rid of them before put
ting the chickens in it for the win
ter, and if you follow these instruc-
tions you will not be bothered with
lice or mites during the winter:
Close all windows and stop all
cracks. and see that the door will
shut tight. Then take an old kettle,
put lots of sand under it; or better
still, set it in a big kettle used for
cooking hog feed, and then set it in
the center of the poultry house. Put
in a shovelful of good, live coal, and
on them sprinkle sulphur in the pro-
portion to one pound to 100 square
feet. Ket out as quickly as possible,
closing the door, and keep it closed
for at least six hours. When you open
it you may be sure there are no YER
min left alive. But before putting
the chickens in, it is best to have a
helper with a small hand spray filled
with some liquid louse-killer, ready
and while one catches each chicken
and holds it, head down, ruffling up
the feathers, the helper sprays them
good. Spray the chicken house once
week, all winter, with one of the
coal tar preparations which is a dis
infectant, as we'll as louse-killer, and
you will not be bothered with lice or
fastes.

BRITISH NAVY PLANS
TRIAL OF HYDROPLANE

London-There is a plan on foot
for construction of hydroplane boats
for the navy's use. 1t is proposed to
begin with a small type of vessel es-
pecially adapted for picket work and
coast defense, the idea being to work
up to a larger size suitable for de-
'stroyers and the carrying and launch
ing of aeroplanes at sea and for
scout duty in case Of emergency.
A syndicate including well-known
American capital is being formed
and has secured an option on the
Forber hydroplane patents. The For
Der hydroplane, which was invented
by an American, was built in France
and holds the records for this kind
! of coast work. The syndicate pro-
| poses to construct boats to be driven
| by new type of oil engine.
The first fleet Of hydroplane de-
! tenders will unquestionably be
launched in England, as its negoti-
ations have been virtually settled
while the French navy department
has reached no decision.

POPE DRAWS LINES TIGHT,
Strong stand is Taken Against Mod

Ordered.

Berlin.-Pope Plus Y. has order
ed instructions to the Papal Nuncio
of Munich to enforce severe measures
OF suppression against modernism in
German-speaking countries, Pope
Plus deplores the strides made by
the movement among the Catholic
laity of Austria Hungary and Ger
many, and explicitly condemns Catho-
lie institutions instituted on a broad
religious basis, as recently advocated
by Cardinal Fischer of Cologne, in
opposition to Cardinal Kopp.
The Pope in supporting the latter
forbids the formation of any other
than rigidly sectarian societies. He
enjoins that no doctorates in theology
shall henceforth be recognized in
case the studies are not conducted on
the scholastic system.
All lectures of Catholic professors
must be submitted to ecclesiastical
| censorship before delivery. Moreovel
every Catholic newspaper asking t
be recognized must submit its in
tended contents to the censor, Will
all Catholic journalists are required
to take the same oath Of Reputation
of modernistic ideas which the Pom
tiff has recently prescribed for tn

MOST CERTAIN WAY
TO END A BAD COLD
RELIEVES SEVERE GRIPPE
MISERY IN \ FEW HOURS

1t is a positive fact that a dose of
Pape's Cold Compound taken every
two hours until three consecutive
doses are taken will cure grippe or
break up the most severe cold, either
in the head, chest, back. stomach or
limbs.
You distinctly feel the cold break
ing and all the disagreeable grippe
symptoms leaving after the very first
dose. 1t promptly ends the most mis-
cradle headache, neuralgia pains,
dullness, head and nose stuffed up,
feverishness, sneezing, sore throat,
running of the nose, mucous catarrh-
al discharges, soreness, stifgfness and
rheumatic twinges.
Pape's Cold Compound is the result
of three years research at a cost of
more than fifty thousand dollars and
contains no quinine, which We have
conclusvely demonstrated is not ef-
fective in the treatment Of colds or
grippe.
Take this harmless compound as
directed, with the knowledge that
there is no other medicine, made any
where else in the world, which will
cure your cold or end grippe misery
as promptly and without any other
| assistance or bad .after-effects as a
| 25-cent package Of Pape's Cold Com
pound, which any druggist in the
world can supply.

No one can take up'a modern
school reader such as are used in
the public school nowadays, with
out regretting the absence of
some masterpieces in prose and
poetry that were familiar to
school children of fifty or sixty
years ago. 1t is doubtful if the
authors of school readers were
as we'll read as were our fathers.
1t was common fifty or sixty
years ago for school boys and
girls to memorize passages from
Shakespeare. like the speeches
of Brutus and Anthony over the
dead body of Caesar, Othello's
defense, Miss Mitford's "Rien,
ZIP, Bryon's Waterloo, or his
address to the ocean, beginning,
''RoIl on, thou dark and deeI
blue ocean, roll", Gray's Elegy
Hoods Bridge of Signs"
| Macauley's ''Horatius at the
BRIDGE. These superb rhetor
ical models appear to have glver
way in the school readers OF to
day to apparently ephemeral pro
ductions of latterday poets. II
is extremely doubtful if in any
respect the school teacher of to
day is in any way superior to hi'
anti-type of the early nineteenth
century. In almost everything
the world has made progress
but unfortunately, very little
here and in some respects it is tt
be feared there is actual retro
gression.

1t is recognized by its leaders
that the Republican machine is
not in the best. condition. 1t
needs tinkering here and there
and almost everywhere. In New
York TIE Aids exposure presents
a scandalous situation which will
require all the splendid prestige
of Governor Hughes admins
tration to efface. President Taft
keenly appreciates perilous pos
sibilities, not only as represented
in the New York situation, but
in Washington, in the middle
west and in the extreme north
west. His speech in New York
last week was intended to rally
the conflicting elements. This is
an end he devoutly hopes to ac-
complish, for upon cooperation
of all Republicans in the work
laid down in the Republican plat
form and reaffirmed in his cam
paign speeches, depends the sue
cess of his administration. But
it is believed by some that his
New York speech has had little
other effect than to emphasize
the irreconcilable differences and
widen the chasm between the
progressive and non-progressive
elements of the Republican par
ty. 1t was said of the Bonrbons
that they never learned anything
and never forgot anything. II
may be said of the "standpat
Republicans" that they have for.
gotten all the traditions of their
pcrty and that any responsive
ness to real conditions in the
country and to public sentiment
is with the insurgents.

HOW HE BECAME A LAWYER

mission to the Bar.

The story of John Sherman's Ad-
mission to the Bar.
When John Sherman was quite
young he was taken into the law office
of his brother Charles ut Mansfield, o..
to help about taP office and make him
self generally useful. One day when he
was in his twenty-tirst year he took
Charles one side and quietly asked him
for loan Of $50.
What" Charles exclaimed. What
do you intend doing with so much
money!"
Il am going to Columbus to Ie ad-
mitted to the bar" John replied.
Charles was greatly surprised, as
John had never asked him for any ad-
vice regarding the profession nor had
he ever appeared to be interested to any
extent in the study OF law.
You can't be admitted to the bar
without some knowledge of the law"
said Charles
John maintained that he knew more
about law than some others and as
sured his brother that he would try to
raise the money somewhere.
You know" he added. 'it will be
necessary for me TO have respectable
clothes and enough money to pay my
travelling and hotel expenses"
Charles finally ordered the clothes
and provided him with the necessary
money. At Columbus on the day he
became of age John was admitted to
he bar. On his return he said 10
Charles:
Il am going 70 Iowa to practice law"
Charle demonstrated with him.
"There is room for both of us to prac
tice law here in Mansfield" Charles
told him.
They then and there became partners
and continued to practice together un
til the formation of the Republican
party. when John was sent from the
Mansfield district as representative
in congress.
Later he was elected to the United
States senate. and the balance Of his
life became very important and in
teresting part Of the history of his
country ry.-Washina,ton Star.

who have tried it are well salts
fled with it, except that it may
not be as efficient as it might be,
and would endorse changes to
make it more efficient to drive
bootlegging and blind pigs out

exist it is evident there are blind
officers and some legislation is
needed that will open the eyes
of the blind to duty or remove

THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE.
Valuable Territory Ii Brought to the

Valuable Territory II Brought to the
United States.
The upper portion of the Louisiana
purchase was known as the territory of
Louisiana. IL comprised all that terri
tory north Of the thirty third degree Of
latitude, eastward to the Mississippi
and westward and nOrthward as far as
the undetermined boundaries of the
newly acquired possessions might ex-
tend. South of this was the district of
Orleans, with its seat of government
fixed at New Orleans. The cessiOn of
the upper part of the purchase did not
take place until March 10, 1904. when,
having received the cessiop from the
Spanish, the French representative
handed it over to the agent Of the Unit
ed States with very brief and simple
ceremony.
BY these unimpressive proceedings
the government of the United States
was put in possession of territory with
in whose boundaries now flourish the
states OF Louisiana, Arkansas Miss0u-
RI. Kansas, Iowa. Nebraska, North Ra-
kOta, South Dakota, Wyoming. Idaho,
Montana, the Indian Territory and
parts Of the states Of Minnesota and
Colorado. The men who were the ac-
tive agents in the transfer of this
mighty land from one national iurisdic-
ton to another are we'll nigh forgotten
ll the crowd and rush of later but not
Jess important events. BY this historic
purchase the seat pf Almighty empire
was forever established. By this pHE'
chase the possibilities Of developing
from the republic world power were
strengthened. Under our benignant
rule comfort luxury. prosperity and
