Panama Exposition.

President Will Break Ground For the
Panama Exposition.
President Taft has decided to extend
his western trip to the Pacific coast
for the purpose Of breaking ground for
the Panama-Pacific International eX-
position at San Francisco. His first
intention was to limit his trip to four
weeks, going as far west as Nebraska
and Kansas, but he finds it will be
possible to take two more weeks in
October or early In November, thus
giving him an opportunity to visit Cal
ifornia, Oregon and Washington.
The directors of the Panama-Pacific
exposition, commercial bodies in Cali
fornia and prominent citizens all along
the coast have urged the president to
visit the far west. The exposition di-
rectors are holding the date of the
ground breaking ceremonies open to
meet the presidents convenience. 1t
is expected that he will visit San
Francisco in the latter part of October.
A big celebration will be held at San
rIaHSiSco W BreeI Inc presluenI anu
to celebrate the beginning of exposi-
ton construction. Special trains wi)
be run from all parts Of the coast
The Pacific fleet will be ordered to San
Francisco bay.
The festivities will include banquet
to President Taft, procession of his
toric floats, a military and naval pa
rade, athletic and aquatic sports and
fireworks.

Nothina Like Personality.

Nothing like personality, if you
know how to assert it. Clerks have
not forgotten the dear lady who wrote
to her husband: 81 am just crazy over
the Thousand islands. How long can
1 stay" 1t was personality, pure and
simple, that won for her the enthusi-
astic response, $50 glad you are hav-
ing a nice time Don't hurry. Stay a
week on each island"
Mere gossip this, but with his own
ears the clerk once heard a farmers
wife pay most generous and inspir-
ing tribute to personality. Concluding
a TRADE in disfavor Of an aunt. she
blurted: 81 know what I'll do to her.

Is it possible for an eastern woman
to enjoy western education and train
ing and remain characteristically ori-
entail? This is question frequently
asked by Europeans interested in the
education and progress of eastern wo-
men.
To see DR.. Yamei Kin, China's first
woman doctor, and, better still, to
hear her speak in perfect English of
her hopes for the further progress of
Chinese women, is to answer the ques-
ton In the affirmative. DR.. Yamei Kin
stands for the we'll balanced oriental
woman, familiar with the science,
learning and methods of the west, but
losing none Of her own nationality.
She is typically Chinese in appear
ance. There are the pale complexion,
the dark hair, the small dark eyes,
twinkling with fun. Small in stature,
but alert and active in body and mind,
DR.. Kin wisely retains her Chinese
dress.
1t is more than twenty years since
DR.. Yamei Kin took her degree at the
Women's Medical college, New York,
now merged into Cornell university.
The years spent in the west have
taught her much besides a wonderful
command of the English language and
q knowledge Of medicine and surgery.
She does not approve Of all she has
heard and seen, but she recognizes
that modern science is the greatest
gift of the west to the east today. In
method there must be adaptation rather
than adoption.
She is now intrusted by the Chinese
government with the organization Of
a medical department for women in
northern China, a huge task which
calls forth her splendid abilities. A
start has been made at Tientsin. A
hospital, dispensary and medical school
are in existence. How they came in
to being is characteristically Chinese.
Land, on which were some very an
cient buildings, was allotted to DIR.
Kin for her new organization, with an
assured revenue. That was the gov
ernment's part; she was to do all the
rest. "You must make your own
plans and carry your scheme to sue
cess"
This meant that she had to be her
own architect and engineer and carry
out the work with the aid of a few
ordinary workmen. There were the
water supply to be planned and sani-
tary work to be done, as well as de-
molishing some of the old buildings,
replacing them with new ones and
adapting others to her purpose.
The transformation was worked.
The architect and engineer are now
sunk in the doctor and director. DIR.
Kin's aim is to make sure progress and
lift the people Step by step to better
sanitation and hygiene. In her estab-
lishment she maintains Chinese Gus
toms so far as possible and introduces
only such western methods of SANTA
tion as are indispensable. Her stu
dents enter for a two or three years
course; their method of life is Chinese,
also their food, which DR.. Kin shares
with them in order that she may be
the first to complain if anything should
be wrong.

rutland married shortly before the
civil war. He enlisted at the first call
for volunteers. When he returned,
four years later, gossiping residents
of Patchogue were linking the name Of
his wife with those of other men who
had not gone to the war.
From the day he returned and first
heard the stories rutland never again
addressed a word TO his wife. He left
the house in which he and she had
been living before the war and built
himself a house next door. 1t was
small with only two rooms, and he
lived there alone. He and his wife
often passed each other in the street
and lived so near that they could not
help seeing each other through the
windows Of their homes. She made
many fruitless attempts to win his
forgiveness

tions of children as "Santa Claus" be

FAVoRS BIG GUNS FOR PEACE.
Lord Beresford Scouts the Idea of
British German War.

British German War.
The peace of Europe is best mnin-
tanned by big navies is the opinion of
Lord Charles Beresford, who Is visit
ing this country.
1t was in reply to a question regard
ing the makeup of the British navy
that Lord Charles Beresford gave his
opinion.
II do not think it is arrogance to
say that the peace of Europe depends
largely upon the strength of the Brit
ish fleet" he said. peace is for the
interest of all and is the greatest in
terest the powers of the world have to
consider.
"The idea of war between England
and Germany is ridiculous. Diplomacy
will always prevail to prevent such a
thing"
Asked about the veto bill, he said
the reform of the house of lords was a
necessary step to meet modern require
ments. He added without comment
that the house of lords will have to
be distinctly reformed. He was asked
which was the greater fighting ship,
our new Delaware or the British
Dreadnought.
"That is a question of patriotism
he answered automatically.
Lord Beresford is going to the Pa
cific coast and then to Mexico, where
he has property.

A HOLE AS EVIDENCE.
Unusual Exhibit Will Figure In tn

Unusual Exhibit Will Figure In the
Trial of the MeNamaras.
A hole in the ground caused by the
explosion of bomb will figure in the
trial of the Mcnamara brothers for
the alleged dynamiting of the Los An
geles Times. The hole was dug up
and boxed for preservation.
On the morning of the destruction of
the Times building, Oct. 1, 1910, two
unexploded bombs were found at the
residences of General Otis, owner of
the Times, and f. ]. Zeehandelaar,
secretary of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' association. A detective
was carrying off the bomb from the
Otis grounds incloSed in suit case
when he heard a clock ticking and
dropped the grip and ran. The bomb
went off, tearing a large hole in the
ground.
The hole remained undisturbed, but
a few days ago the attorneys for the
defense decided they needed it for evi-
dence. Accordingly four detectives set
to work and by daybreak had tunneled
under the hole, boxed it in and pre-
pared to cart 1t away.

Origin of High 'HseIed Shoes.

Nine Pompadour was very small

she built her hair up high and wore the
first pair Of high heeled shoes ever
made. The high heels that were in
vented for her have been accused Of
many crimes to the foot but physicians
now seem agreed that "broken arches"
may be produced by any sudden shock,
such as jumping from car. Children
who jump the rope great deal some
times have this disease of the foot.

SUES FOR A FORCED JAG.
Sunday School Teacher Wants $55,ooo
as Recompense.

Sunday School Teacher Wants $55,OOO
as Reeompense.
Harry ]. Bohart, Presbyterian Sun
day school teacher of Kansas City, has
filed suit in the circuit court asking
$55,000 damages from tie Missouri Pa
cific railroad because that company's
employees forced him to drink whisky
enough from jug to make him drunk.
The petition relates that Bohart and
John Laughlin went to Lake City, a
station ON the Missouri Pacific north
Of Kansas City, one day last fall.
When they started to return they
found the train was late and would
not reach Lake City until midnight
They sought refuge in the depot from
the cold while waiting for the train.
The petition alleges that the station
agent and operator informed Bohart
that they expected to have a jolly
evening and brought forth a jug of
whisky. Bohart, who up to that time
had never tasted whisky, was the first
to be asked to drink. When he re-
fused it is alleged that the men forced
him at the point of revolver to swal-
low the liquor.
The Sunday school teacher claims to
have become intoxicated and to have
suffered a splitting headache the fol-
lowing day.
An effort will be made in the suit to
hold the railroad responsible on the

Points
for
Mothers
In the Nursery.


Fresh ripe fruit without sugar is
very wholesome, especially if eaten in
the early part of the day. So much
sugar is often added to stewed fruit
as to make it undesirable for some
children, especially those subject to
skin trouble.
To make an attractive screen for the
nursery get light bamboo screen ian
old one will do and remove the silko-
line with which these are usually
covered Substitute dark red or green
cambric and cover it with colored pic
lures, pasted on so that each panel is
given over to one kind, such as flow
ers, animals, children, etc. The screen
will prove it's value in the early morn
ing hours when the baby will lie and
look at the pictures instead of start
ing an untimely concert.
A pretty crib cover may be made
from a yard each of white and pale
blue or pink flannel. On the colored
flannel embroider a flower and bow
knot design, on the white a conven-
tional border and large central mon
ogram. Bind the two together by
means of wide satin ribbon and put
the bow or rosette in one corner, with
the colored side considered as the top.
When a child eats or drinks any
thing that is hot enough TO burn the
mouth give him teaspoonful of pure
olive oil, telling him to hold it in his
mouth as long as possible before
swallowing it.

against election officials of the Au-

give comfort to those indisposed to
work but who have had hard time ex-
planning the reason for it. If the scien-
fist who has made this discovery will
only show how to remedy the defect in
the blood of TIE lazy man he will de-
serve well of his fellow men. In the
meantime it is worth noting that MANY
lazy men can and do work when neces-
sity compels them, notwithstanding the
poor condition of their blood, which
leads to the conviction that laziness is a
disease of the will rather than of the
