AWAY
GIRL BUT !.
+. RETURNS

Direct information was today
lodged against Edward Hyde
charging him with the attempted
abduction of little Elsie .Schroe-
der, aged 8. Hyde, formerly q
convict, but since being liberated
from the penitentiary, employed
by the Iowa Fuel company, yes
terday found Elsie Schroeder and
another little girl picking black
berries near the office of the COM
pany. He induced Elsie to go
with him, saying he would take
her to his fathers place at Bis
marck, where she could get plenty
of berries. He gave the other
little girl 10 cents and sent her
home and gave Elsie 20 cents,
and then started with her for Bis
marck on the Spanaway line.
The mother of the child heard
of it soon afterward, and started
the police and sheriff's men after
him. Constable Coates found
them coming back and took the
girl home and lodged Hyde in
Jail. -
They never got to the black
berry patch. Hyde evidently con-
cluded there would be trouble
over the disappearance of thesgirl
and he started back with her, and
was on the car at Thirty-fourth
and G streets, and had told the
child to get off when the con-
stable arrested him.
Hyde insisteds that he meant no
harm to the girl and was merely
taking her out where she could
get blackberries.
After the little girl had told
her story, however, the prosecut-
ing attorney decided to issue a
complaint accusing Hyde of "a
serious offense.

OF the Chamber of Commerce
trustees were present when the

Stone Not Present When "0pen
Shop Action Was Taken
Tacoma, June 16, 1910.

Editor of the Tacoma Times:
Dear Sir--We notice in your
issue of June Is, in the article
headed Startling Action Taken
by Commercial Organization
that you have made mention OF
our Mr.. George H. Stone as one
of the trustees of the Chambe
of Commerce who took action as
being in favor of open shop
and while you do not state posi-
lively that Mr.. Stone was here
and voted for such resolution
yet by having his name appear
with the others, the inference is
|plainly drawn that he favored
such action and was present.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Stone is al
this time in Europe and has been
since the beginning of March, we
think 1t rather unjust on your
part to place him in this position
Especially so, since it is a well.
known fact that he and our en-.
tire organization have always ia.
vored organized labor whenever II
has been practical or possible for
us to do SO. We think the least
that you could do in justice to
him and to the Stone-Fisher Co.,
would be to make mention of this
fact in at least as prominent a
way as you made mention of the
fact above referred to.
Hoping this will receive your
Immediate attention, we remain
Respectfully yours,

Since the Ia

According to excellent authority,
the muscles, in common with all or
gans of the human body, have their
periods of development and decline

Tests of the strength of several tt.ou-
sand individuals have been made, and
the following figures are given. IS the
averages derived from such tests:
The lifting power Of youth of II
years Is $50 pounds; in hts goth year
this increases to 800 pounds, and in the
Both and 31st years, respectively, 1t
reaches its height, 365 pounds.
At the expiration of the 31st year
the strength begins to decline, very
gradually at first BY the 40th year
1t has decreased eight pounds, and
such diminution continues at a slightly
increasing rate until the 50th year is.

MODERN CoNvENIENCEs.
Most of Them Were Made to Meet
Modern IncOnyeuiences,

Modern inconvenience.
Comparison between the happiness
of humanity In different ages or diff
ferent lands is most difficult, says a
writer in an English publication.
Macaulay and the old optimistic Wings
were quite satisfied with saying that
the meanest artisan now has convent
ences that were unknown to Kings.
But they forget that very often the
modern conveniences only mean things
made to meet modern conveniences.
An artisan can go to scientific steam
laundry and have his linen collar re-
starched; II you call that convenience.
But If Gurth the Swineherd had been
made to wear a starched collar he
would have fallen on his knees and
implored his lord to lift the burden
and give him his brass collar back
again. A refined gentleman Of Queen
Anne's reign could have the luxury
of being shaved with scented soap.
But gentleman of Queen Elizabeth's
reign could have the greater luxury
of growing beard.
Those who praise mere civilization
Cor the morbid modern form of IT'D are
always pointing out the desolate state
of various rude societies. They say,
"The Zulus have no good eyeglasses"
They do not remember that the Zulus
have good eyes instead. They cry
aloud, "The Ojibways fell on their
knees with wonder and terror on first
beholding a button-hook." They do
not add that the Ojibways were
thrown into agonies on first trying to
wear buttoned boots. They say "Over
the vast, drear expanse of the Ara
bian desert not bootblack is to be
SEEM" they do not add that the Arabs
are much too sensible to want their
boots BACKED. 1t may be questioned
whether the increase of medical adver.
tisements mean the Increase Of health.
1t is a disputable matter whether the
number of London hoardings devoted
to soap means that the English are a
clean nation or that they are dirty
one
