A BUDDING GENIUS.
Ambitions and Hard Work Of the Boy

Immediately on being appren-
ticed to Ayet applied for admis-
sion to the drawing school Of the
Cooper institute, and everr. even

down there, where my artistic edu-
cation began.
can recall there the kindly i'm
preston produced on me by Abram
s. Hewitt as he glanced at me dur
ing some function. Father at that
time was making shoes for the
Cooper family, and / suppose that
that is why he looked at me. The
feeling of profound gratitude for
the help which have had from
that Institution abides with me 10

1t was during the next two or
three years that my first aspirations
and ambitions made themselves
felt. ] became a terrific worker,
toiling every night until IL o'clock
after the Cooper institute was over,
in the conviction that in me anoth-
er heaven born genius had been
given to the world.

conyeyances that if the men stand

could realize how great a genius
was rubbing elbows with them in
the quiet looking boy BY their side

Come Home, Theodore.

Do you know that there isn't rough rider
IN the diplomatic corps except Phil Knox?
Do you know that Taft hasn't shaken hands
with an engineer since he went into office?
Do you know that the Ananias Club is near
ly readyto give up its charter? Do you know
that Jim Garfield hasn't called on Balinger for
weeks? Oh, could 90 on and tell you a thou
sand things that point unerringly to the down
TAU OF the republic. Another year, and fear
1t will be too late.
So am writing you this personal and con-
tldential letter. in the hope that you will come
back and straighten things out The whole
country is either conserving or insurging.
Uncle Joe Cannon is still smoking and belch-
ing forth lava. Pinchot and CLAWS are in vo-
lent eruption. Kenesaw Landis shows signs
of recurring activity. Nels Aldrich is still at
liberty, Bob La Toilette is hoarse and worn

nearly all in. Business is overfowing the
whole country. Eggs are 60 cents a dozen.
Uncle jim Hill is shooting the people back
to the farms. Pierpont Morgan is negotiating
lor the national library The gap eaten by
the President over 13, 900 miles of this count
ry refuses to close. Bryan has opened his
presidential campaign for 1912, and heaven
knows, the country is in need of aid.

Rutternilk Life Saver.

A French medical man advises
people to drink buttermilk for long
life. He SAYS that the Tactic acid
dissolves every sort of earthly depos-
il in the blood vessels, keeping the
veins and arteries so supple and free
running that there can be no clog
ging up. and hence there is no de-
posit Of chalky matter around the
joints OF Of poisonous waste in the
muscles. II is the stiffening and
hardening of the blood vessels
which bring on old age. Butter
milk is likely to postpone il ten OF
twenty years if freely drunk. A
quart a day should be the mini
mum, the maximum according to
taste and onDortunitY.

JASPER, INDIANA, FRIDAY, MAY 81, 1910.

in dispute. Some hold that the use of tobacco
tends to Increase the appetite for drink 9th
ers with equal vigor hold that tobacco smok-
ing tends to smaller consumption of drink.
The latter opinion has a better basis in the
United States, where most of the drinking is
done standing up against the bar. than in
countries where the drinkers and smokers seat
themselves at table and take time to their so
called pleasures. In this country the man be-
hind the bar is noncommittal on the subject.
The man urged by his companion to 'take
another" saves himself by taking cigar; t.
do otherwise would, in the expressive language
of the traffic, be taking shingle off the
house" But in no European country is the
use of tobacco in the form of cigars to be COM
pared with that of this country and among all
classes.
On the one hand it has been urged that the
convivial soul who divides his attention be-
tween his tobacco and his glass is given to
drink less than his glum looking companion
who is nonsmoker; the other side puts for
ward as an obvious fact that the smoking of
tobacco must of necessity dry the mouth and
parch the throat and therefore lead to the i'm
bibing of more liquid refreashment.

How seminoIes Bury Their Dead.

Seminoles bury their dead on top
Of the ground after wrapping them
in blankets, but always leave the top
of the head exposed. They build
pen over the body and usually chink
it with earth. When his squaw dies
the husband wears his shirt until il
rots off, which is not strikingly dis
tinctive. When the husband dies
the squaw doesn't comb her hair for
three months. Little reverence is
shown for the dead. When Tom
Tigers grave was robbed and his
bones taken for exhibition the out
cry over the desccration was almost
wholly a newspaper affair. The
nearest settlers we're unalarmed and
the Indians indifferent. - CollieTs

British clectioneering tactics have
changed. Electors are no longer kid
naped and forced TO lose the poll The
minor details OF the campaign. how
ever. remain the same. Mr.. Labou-
cherc. for instance. In his fight for
Windsor in the seventies canvassed
six hours each day for month, kissed
babies. compllmented mothers and per.
suaded fathers just as he would to-
day. But when the final survey was
made his supporters found that every.
thing depended on half dozen voters.
And here stepped in the diplomat. One
Tory who went to fish in punt was
kept In the middle OF the river until
his vote was useless. Another aged
and decrepIt Tory was kept In the
house by cabs being put to run nj
him whenever he tried to issue from
his door. The Liberals won. but the
Tories petitioned successfully.
