New York. Sept. limited States
District Attorney Wise admitted that
the federal grand jury some days ago
found separate indictments against
Nathan Allen, the wealthy leather
manufacturer of Kenosha, Wis, and
John R. Collins. millionaire coal OPP
orator of Tennessee, charging SNUG
Cling.
The indictments, it is reported, are

Rob Rectory.
Shenandoah, Pa, Sept z. Rev.
Richard j. Branton, acting pastor Of
the Annunciation church, foiled three
robbers in an attempt to rob the rec
tory.
For several nights festivities had
been held on the rectory lawn, at
which considerable money was taken
In for the church building fund, Just
at midnight Rev. Branton went on a
sick call and noticed three strangers
lettering in the neighborhood of the
rectory He became suspicious, and
when he returned later, instead Of go
ing to bed, he sat up reading in the
studio.
About 1 o'clock in the morning he
heard a strange noise downstairs. He
turned on all the electric lights in the
house, got his revolver and proceeded
to investigate.
When he reached the first floor he
spied one burglar dashing out of the
kitch, door He fired at the fleeing
man, ~. missed his mark. Simulta-
neously two other figures dashed
through the yard in the dark Father
Branton was about to fire at these
fleeing forms, but fearing that the bull
let's might go wide, he did not shoot
again.
Investigation later showed that the
robbers were working at the safe in a

HUMoR.

Humor proves to be the saving
clause of many distressing situa-
ton. The trouble with most of us is
that we take our troubles altogether
too seriously. We fail to see the fun
my side OF things that for the moment
concern us, even though we are quick
to grasp it when we are mere cnlook-
rs. In the face of gathered clouds
that seem to shut out the sunshine
forever, it is not bad idea to remind
ourselves that this old Mother Earth
has been revolving on her axis for
countless ages, that generations OF
men have come and gone for thou
sands OF years and that the march OF
human progress has gone right along
in the forward direction, DESPITE what
seemed to he occasional setbacks.
Laugh and the world laughs with
you" There is humor in nearly every
situation if we can only see it from
the right angle. Those of us who try
TO smile in adversely and think how
much more laughable it would be il
conditions were reversed, at least feel
less uncomfortable over it and take
pleasure in looking forward to the
time when the shoe will he on the
other foot

PHILADELPHIA GANG SPLITS
Mayor Gusts From Office Men Oppos-

Philadelphia, Sept. S.--Mayor Rey.
burn returned home from Canada and
Immediately jumped into the local
mayoralty situation with both feet
and an axe.
First he came out unequivocally for
William S. Ware. recorder of deeds, as
his successor.
Then he bitterly attacked Senator
Penrose, States Senator McNichol and
the opponents of his administration.
Finally he let the axe fly and cut off
three political heads in the depart.
ment of public works.
The men summarily dismissed for
"disloyalty to the administration" are:
George r. Stearns, director of the
department of public works. Salary,
$4,000.
William B. Knight, Jr., assistant di-
rector of the department of public
works. Salary, $4,000
William r. Benson, chief of the blu.
reau of highways and street cleaning.
Salary, $4,000.
While only these three have fallen
under the mayors attack thus far,
one other is almost sure to feel the
weight of his honor's displeasure. He
is James B. Sheehan, assistant direc.
tor of public safety.
AS to the "Lexow" probe, the mayor
has not had time to take it up in de
tail Sweepingly, though, he denies
that either he or any member of his
administration has been guilty OF any
wrongdoing, nor has he countenanced
any suggestion of wrongdoing either
to himself or to any of his subordi-
mates.
In declaring for the candidacy OF
William s. Ware, Mayor Reyburn not
only pledges himself but the members
of his administration. He declares he
expects such support and that he will
remove from Office bureau chiefs and
other municipal employees who oppose
him.

Chinese Students in Conference.
The majority Of orr readers would
be vastly surprised II they could drop
in some day on the sessions Of the
Chinese student conference now being
held at Princeton, ~ J., says the
Wheeling Intellingencer.
The American impression OF john
Chinaman is derived almost solely
from the laundryman who shuffies
along the streets in his wide trousers
with the silence and furtiveness of
the Oriental The type of Chinese
students that one sees at any of our
large universities is as different from
this as the ordinary Harvard univer-
city boy is from the average Polish
farm hand just over from Russia's
plains.
Nearly all the laundryrnen come
from the class of laborers i'm a few
provinces of China. The students
are mostly the SONS OF wealthy mer-
chants, and are backed by plenty OF
money.
Consequently the Chinee student is
very much OF dandy He spends
money lavishly on our choicest tailors
He has Ep'curean supper parties at
elite restaurants, where he touches
elbows with the dress coated smart
set
He is physically as clean a type OF
manhccd rs you could find outside a
manicurists rarior. Every hair is
brushed into its proper setting; the
sharp creases of his trousers are direct
from the tailor's iron.
With this marked dndishness there
goes, rs is not common with Ameri-
can youth, an intense seriousness in
work The Chinese student is mo- an

to knock little balls in the air, but to
take back rich cargoes of american
scientific learning to make his ooun-
try young again.
And so, while his American class
mates are running bases and sitting
in harnnocks at the summer hotels,
John Chinaman, bachelor of science,
is reading solemn papers at the
Princeton conference en modern
learning. His auditors listen intently,
seated in solemn rows, where they
took their places ON ,he second that
the clock marked the hour.
In spite of the fact that they have
wealthy fathers at home, these boys
work like ditch diggers, They COM
