C0NSERVES HER JAW POWER
Nebraska Man Has Device by Which
Mother-in-Law's MaxiIIarIes
Run Machine.

New York.-"By a system Of diff
ferential pulleys and stings l nave
devised a scheme to make my wife's
jaws do useful work when she chews
gum" says a man who AYERS he is
J. Montgomery Gubbins, Omaha, Neb.
with this device attached to her
jaws" he continued, my wife runs
her sewing machine and thoroughly
enjoys herself while doing so. l in
vented this simple machine because
my wife has rheumatism In both an
kles and has a stiff wrist. With a
similar machine I have set my moth
erin-law to work running a churn.
1t takes more power to run a churn
than 1t does a sewing machine. I
came east to look over the field with
the view Of trying my invention on
the New York public If I found gum
chewing popular.
81 am highly pleased with what I
found, and l know I'll have tremen-
dous sales of this machine when I
return to New York. l found the big
gest number of gum chewers among
the subway travellers. I'm sure they
will Jump at the chance to buy my
invention when they find I've got an
attachment that will provide fresh
air as the traveller works his Jaws"

St. Lawrence ls Shrinking,

Montreal, Que.-The constant shrink
ing in the depth of the water in the
st. Lawrence ship canal is causing
much uneasiness to shipping compa-
MES, and the 27k-foot channel only
shows 27 feet n inch, five inches
short Of what it should register.
AS the dry spell approaches it is
feared that the depth may shrink to
such an extent as to make 1t impossi-
BILE for the larger passenger and
freight vessels to make port, and the
outlook for the balance of the season
between Montreal and tidewater is
ominous.

PLEADS HIS CASE
GEORGE w. EGAN DISCARDED At
TORNEY PETITIONS FOR
REINSTATEMENT
MAKES APOLOGY TOCOURT
Claims Criticisms of the Court We're
Made in Heat of Anger With
out Regard to Public
Estimate of Same

Fierre-Tellins the court that II
the apology contained in the docu-
ment he prepared was not suft-
c1ent, that he would take further
steps to convince it OF his sincere
purpose, George w. EgaA 0 Sioux
Falls, defeated candidate for gov
ernor at the hands OF the republi-
can voters at the recent primaries,
and who for nearly two years has
been disbarred from pract cling as an
attorney in the courts of South Dako-
ia, appeared before the supreme
judges in this city today, seeking to
be allowed to continue in his profess
sion.
In asking to be re-instated Mr.. Egan
read his apology to the court, and
then offered some little further pleas
for himself, he appearing as lis own
attorney. He said that if the matter
contained in the document presented
was insufficient that he would be will
ing to make amendments as the court
desired, adding that no person whom
he had ever served as an attorney has
ever complained Of his acts as their
representative.
In answer to an Interrogation by
Presiding Judge Whiting, Egan de-
clared that he had made his criti-
cisms of the court in the heat of an
ger, land in cooler deliberation and
considering the other SIDE of the case
it grew upon me that the court could
conscientiOusly decide as it did on the
testimony and record before them
The possible effect of the statements
on the public was not considered in
making the charges. They were made
on impulse and effects were not con
sidered.
Mr.. Egan was admitted to practice
in this state in November, 1907, and
shortly after handled the case of
Mrs. O'Grady, who was on trial for
the murder of her husband. In secu-
ing his fees 70 this pactice his meth
DDS were deemed unprofess 'onal, and
%thereupOn he was promptly d Shared.
Since that time Mr.. Egan has peti-
toned once for readmission. His ap-
%DlicatiOn was denied.

State Officials Will Determine Value
Of Land Offered by Government

Of Land Offered by Government
Pierre. E. Truran, deputy COM
missioner Of school and pablo lands,
has gone to Deadwood to direct
the appraisal of timber on 6o,O0)
acres Of land in the government
forest reserve of the Black Hills. IN
til a short time ago, the title to this
land claimed by the state Of South
Dakota was disputed by the national
government on the ground that at the
time the state signifed it's intention
to reserve the land the survey was
not complete. An agreement was
reached between Commissioner Dok-
ken Of the land department Of the
state, and the department of the in
terror whereby the state was to be CIV
en- title to the lands which 1t claimed
with the provision that an exchange
should be made of these lands, which
are scattered here and there through
put the millions Of acres composing
the government reserve for a tract OF
equal acreage and value.
BY this agreement both national
and state lands are distinct and separ-
ate, and thus mor convenient for ad-
ministration. During the past few
months the field agents OF the state
ONCE have been at work placing a
value on the standing timber on the
original land belonging to the state,
and the present occupation of Deputy
Truran and a force of clerks is that
of as~certaining the wealth Of the
lands offered by the national govern
ment in exchange.

tute by Saying Tendency to
Lie Is Natural.

PittsbuTg, Pa.-That an alarming
proportion of children between the
ages of 7 and 10 years are addicted to
lying, was the statement made by DR..
Earl Barnes of Philadelphia, in an ad-
dress to teachers attending the Allie
gheny County institute. In an address
on The Truth-Telling of Children"
he referred to a specific instance in
drawing this conclusion and declared
that the tendency to lie is natural I'M
der the natural law of self-preserva-
ton, and that the average child can't
help but lie.
He told his audience that truth tell
ing is not a virtue but a vice." and
asserted that 'the fox hat tells he
truth will die" He then drew paral-
lels to illustrate his statement. He
insisted that animals that tell the
truth surely will die"
Lying in America began with the
Indians" he said, land he left progeny
behind him to perpetuate his quail
ties"
DR.. Barnes took up business life and
said that on the whole there was
great stability In business as 1t rests
on mems word. He declared that any
kind of fraud is due to the force of q
weak nature, and commended that this
Is why women are more forceful than
men,
There are 500 truths told to every
one lie In politics." said DR.. Barnes.
THE truth generally is told In trade
and politics. That 800 truths are
told to every one lie in politics may
seem doubtful. The trouble Is that
the one lie stands out SO plainly that
truthful statements are doubted.
Truth-telling is now a vice ard not a
virtue. People doubt the truth when
1t Is told to them, and believe that
most everything they hear Is a false
hood"

SHE HAD 1901 PROF oSALS
Young Seattle Widow, a Telephone
Operator, to Marry the Last Ono
to Declare.

Seattle.-New York may have its
herd Of 1856 loves in the person OF one
Roscoe H. Sanborn, but Seattle has a
real merry widow with 1,0O1 proposals
to her credit. The one thousand and
first man is the lucky one and the
wedding will occur shortly.
The merry widow is Mrs. Ria May
Dixie, a phone operator. 1t is ques-
tionable If Mrs. Dixie ever saw more
than a scant %half-dozen of the1, 001
suitors. But that did not detract
from the ardor of their love epistles.
They wrote from the north, the south,
the east and the west.
Mrs. Dixie was formerly an Iowa
girl-Ottumwa being her home. Three
years ago she married and with her
husband went to South Dakota. He
was killed in a wreck and Mrs. Dixie
bravely faced the world and took up
a claim.
She called her place "Ottumwa," and
1t is still known by that name in
South Dakota.
At the state fair in Huron, S. D.,
III IJOO, NllS. blhc "ao y 'AS
prize for being the prettiest young
woman in the state. Newspapers de-
voted columns to her photo and
beauty.
At first letters came by two and
three, but finally the rural delivery
nan had to put on an extra mule to
aid in hauling the mail out to "Ot-
tumwa."
Mrs. Dixie has a bungalow on her
100 acres. There she opened and read
every one of the proposals.
Her house needed papering. Moth
ing would better serve the purpose
than a ton or two of love letters. Mrs.
Dixie plastered the walls and the
ceilings and used the photos for roof
ing, and with the surplus built a chick
cen corral. Over all the pasted this
large sign:
Love letter shack. Tack new pro-
posals on vacant space"
Mrs. Dixie was literally driven off
her claim. She came to Seattle in
1909 and found employment. There,
however, her beauty attracted other
wooers, and though she fought them
off with her rugged South Dakota ex
perience she at last fell victim to
Cupid, and a Seattle business man
won her hand.

Beau Says United States More
Polite Than France.
Worlds Most Famous CotiIIion Leader
Calls or Youth Of His Nation to
Recover Lost Science Of
Politeness.

Paris, France.-M. FouQuieres, who
Is called the worlds most famous
leader of cotillions and is also known
as the last true dandy of the Beau
Brummel type" finds that the United
States and England are now more
polite than France, thus contradict
ing f. Hopkinson Smith, who has held
up France as a model in matters of
etiquette. The noted society leader
has issued a stirring appeal to Paris
ians in which he describes the decline
OF courtesy, calls politeness a most
useful quality and urges his fellow
citizens to regain their reputation for
good manner as they are recovering
in aeronautics their reputation for
heroism.
"Poiiteness is disappearing" de-
clared M. ~Fouquieres. 1T must be ad-
mitted that we are no longer the most
courteous people in the world. The
~politeness which was formerly a ma
tional virtue, and the former gallantry
which always characterized French
men are today neglected, ridiculed
and almost despised.
Look at our young folk. They are
formal, stiff, Indifferent and disdain-
ful; their movements are identical
and bombastic like a funeral ballet,
and they affect a phlegmatic ennui
which it is cain to criticise, for it is
the mode.
Foreigners trusting to our reputa-
ton for courtesy are astonished to
find themselves inspected i~nsolently
when they venture into public places.
Women do not escape sly, gay looks
and vulgar murmurings and whoever
makes malicious jokes at their ex-
pense is %applauded with the laugh of
appreciation. Lack of tact is consid-
cred witty. Our savants, aviators, au-
tomobilists and sailors perform heroic
deeds daily and their glory is undi-
minished. Only %politeness is lost.

FULFILLING ANTE-ELECTION
PLEDGES

Since the Taft administration took
charge of the government Is months
ago a consistent effort has peer made
to redeem the pledges made in the Re-
publican platform upon which they
were elected.
The first great measure to be passed
vas the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill,
which the short time intervening since
its enactment has demonstrated to be
a wise a well as adequate law. Now,
by q unanimous Republican vote, the
senate has passed the railroad bill and
it will be emit to a conference com
mittee of the two houses. Just what
shape it will assume when it energies
from the conference is hard to say,
but if acceptable to both the regular
and insurgent Republicans it is sure
to be an excellent law.
The Republican party is thus main
tanning its reputation tor squarely
meeting each great issue as it pre-
sents itself and enacting adequate leg
islation for the relief of the people.

HILL SEES NO CAUSE FOR ALARM

Owing to the general dull times
throughout the country, with injunc-
lions issued against the railroads and
other disturbing elements, many bust
ness men have grown pessimistic and
scent another panic. On the other hand,
James j. Hill, of the Great Northern
railroad, n of the most sagacious and
far-sighted men in the country, sees no
u for alarm. Concerning the situa-
ton, Mr.. Hill says:
"The business of the United States
is too big for q little matter like
this to disturb it.
"The present uneasiness in Wall
street is more fictitious than otherwise.
There is no cause for alarm. l dom It
think it is going to be much of a
shower. The only thing to worry the
railroads just now is how to handle the
enormous volume of business that is
offered. What the railroads need far
more than extensions or better equip
ment, is increased terminal facilities.
$50 far as cancelling orders fol
new equipment is concerned, we ART
not cancelling any orders and do no
place much reliance in reports tina
other railroads are doing 80.
1--WE have issued no orders to La,
of men or to curtail our force and d,
not contemplate SO doing. The situa
tion 10 not causing me alarm and l Sc.
no reason why it should worry any
one."
