 1t is hard saying. but ''the blues" may generally be traced to one or both of two horrid qualities greed and lazi- ness. Nine times out of ten the low spirited person is suffering from auto toxication-from too much food taken into the body and too littl c attention paid to elimination or to plvper exer- else. The human mechanism can take care of only a certain amount of food. After that point has been passed it seems to turn sullen in its efforts to ignore what it cannot help, and, al- though it is wonderfully conducted chemical laboratory up to the limit of its own needs, it is not at all amiable about working overtime. The result is that all superfuous products sent to 1t are permitted to lie round and become poisonous. This poison is promptly taken up by the blood and carried to all parts of the body, including the brain. The brain, which needs plen- tiful supply of clean blood to enable 1t to do it's thinking. is naturally in- dignant at finding poor and impure blood supplied to it, and, although not actually going on strike, it refuses to be either pleasant or reasonable Youths Companion.

 With ths exception of Shakespeare, Pope is the author of more familiar phrases than any other writer of mod ern times. Here are a few of his gems:
 Shoot folly as she flies." Hope springs eternal in the human breast" ," Man never is but always to be bless ed" Whatever is is right" ''The proper study of mankind is man." "Grows with his growth and strength ems with his strength" Order is heavens first law" Worth makes the man and want of it the fellow" Honor and shame from no condition rise; act well your part-there all the honor lies" "An honest mans the noblest work of God" Thou vert my guide, philosopher and friend" "Ev cry woman is at heart rake" 'sWo- mans at best contradiction still" "Just as the twig is bent the trees in- clined."

Special from United Press.)

tSp6C1al rom On1I0Q fT0SS.t
 Washington, July 21-Certain as they can be of anything that has not hap pened. friends and foes of the Canad- ian reciprocity alike today predicted the passage of the bill in the form in which it came from the House.
 From a recent canvass" said Sen- ator Penrose, "the vote will be ap- proximately to 1 in favor of the measure
 Senator Stone, who favors the agree ment, said the vote would be in the proportion of 57 to 34.
 .eThe passage of the bill is beyond question: said Senator Bristow, (Rep., Kas.), a progressive. "All the Demo- crats except four Or five and 45 per cent saof the Republicans will vote for the bill.''
 The judgment of Senator McCunber, Rep., N. D., one of the most aggres- sive opponents of the bill, was that the measure would go through by a vote of nearly two to one.
 Both sides today predicted adoption by the Senate tomorrow of Canadian reciprocity, closing more than a years negotiations as follows:

Whitehead Makes
 Haste Slowly In
 Building Machine
Last Sundays Experiment Con- vinced Him of Success of His Revolutionary
 Flying Machine

Gustave Whitehead in the near fu- ture will make more exhaustive tests of his "helicopter" or wingless flying machine and hopes to demonstrate to the most incredulous that his machine will mount into the air.
 At the tests made last Sunday near Mr. Whitehead's shop on Holland Heights, he did not let the engine out to more than half it's capacity at any time, but even so the machine showed itself capable of lifting it's own weight, which is in excess of 600 pounds. -.a
 MT. Whitehead's working hours in the day time are occupied with his business of engine building at the Lo- comobile factory, and he necessarily has only small time ito devote to his helicopter, so that progress in completing the machine is slow. MT. Whitehead is, perfectly satisfied that his two decades of untiring work have been finally awarded with a great success. Last Sundays experiments demonstrated to his mind that his machine will fly, and he is confident that the public exhibitions are not far off.
 mitted that the ''helicopter'' is the ideal type of flying machine in theory, but hitherto all attempts along the line of building such machines have failed. Hundreds of inventors have attempted it. If MT. Whitehead is successful, he will revolutionize aero- nautics over night, so great are the advantages of the ''helicopter'' over the present day aeroplane.

Sharp Rankind.

Everybody is familiar with the little savings banks for ten cent pieces, the kind that holds fifty dimes and cannot be opened until it is full. Such a bank was given to a little girl and her brother, the children of Washington official. It contained one dime, a nest egg. The day was warm and soon the desire of the joint owners of the bank to convert the deposit into two glasses of soda water became all but uncon- trollable. The question was how to get the money out. Finally the boy destined, his father thinks, to become a Napoleon of finance-hit upon a plan and dragged his sister to the nearest drug store. There he explained the situation to the man behind the counter and .broached his plan of operations. In short, he asked the man to lend him forty-nine ten cent pieces for a minute or two. The man was ready for a customer, produced the needed coins, and the little boy and girl went home penniless and happy-New York Tribune.

How They Did Hate Wauner.

Wagner's music was at one time vio- lently opposed in England, and Ford Madox Hueffer, whose father was musical critic of the London Times, gives in his Ancient Lights" some curious Instances of the lengths to which the campaign was carried. "The compositions of Wagner were denounc- ed as being atheistic, sexually i'm moral and tending to further socialism and the throwing of bombs. Wagner ites were threatened with assassina- ton, and assaults between critics of the rival schools were things not un- known in the foyer of the opera. l have in my possession three letters from three different members of the public addressed to my father The writers stated that unless Dr. Hueffer abstained from upholding the blas- phemous music of the future and in each case the writer used the word blasphemous-he would be respective ly stabbed, ducked in horsepond and beaten to. death by hired roughs."

When the Time Comes.

Man little knows what calamities are beyond his patience to bear till he tries them. As in ascending the heights Of ambition, which look bright from be low, every step we rise shows us some new and gloomy prospect of hiddel disappointment, so in our descent iron the summits of pleasure, though tht vale of misery below may appear nj first dark and gloomy yet the busy mind, still attentive to its own amuse- ment, finds as we descend something to fatter and to please. Still, as we approach the darkest objects appear to brighten and the mortal eye be- comes adapted to its gloomy situation. Goldsmith.

Wonder What Tennyson Said.


 In his volume of "reminiscences Pro- lessor B. B. Poulton writes of a visit to Boston, where he met several nota- bles.
 Holmes spoke of Emerson stamping his foot with rage when he could not remember name. He mentioned the Corbett- Mitchell prizefght, which had just taken place, and said. ''I own to a lurking sympathy with prize6ghting, perhaps because I am so united for the ring myself" He told Professor Poulton he would never repeat to any one what Tennyson said to him when he entered his house. William James pressed him to do so with the assurance, ''There are no reporters here" But Dr. Holmes replied with emphasis: "I have said that I will nev CT tell any one. 1t was not a thing that I should have supposed any man would say to a guest he had invited t.. his house."

DRINKS THAT COST $2 AND
 THREE PILLS
The Latter We're Morphine and That All But Terminated the Career of Morris Douglas, Waiter

Morris Douglas, waiter living in a boarding house at Bank and Water streets, drank two dollars worth of assorted liquors yesterday afternoon. When he left the Emergency hospital last evening he was feeling much bet ter than when Dr. Krause found him unconscious near the street corner where he lives.
 Douglas told Dr. Krause that he liked variety in his drinks, and that while he spent his fortune of $2, all he had, he didn't repeat a single drink. Everyone was new. Some were more costly than others, but the g bought him great many.
 After his money was gone, Douglas developed a headache Friends gave him a little bottle containing three pills each containing one-thfrd of a graM of morphine. He took all three, and a few minutes later collapsed.
 Then they called the ambulance corps. pr. Krause provided him with an antidote for the poison, and then held him at the Emergency hospital for observation for several hours. Last evening he was able to walk home, unassisted.

 Richmond. Va. July 21.-vrginia' g self into the old, old story of two women and a man.
 When six members of a coroner's s ! jury crowded into the little parlor of Coroner LovingS home to probe the killing of the beautiful wife of Henry Clay Beattie. the aristocratic Civil war society of the Old Dominion wait ed with bated breath for the un- closeting of a Beattie Skeleton. And the uncloseting came. A
 Detective L. l.. Scherer predicted an arrest at the close of the inquest.
 Today, the police brought forth the results of the strenuous work they have done since Henry Clay Beattie brought home his murdered wife, her shot pierced head in his bloody lap, from their last joy ride. They went back four years to find the woman, and found Beaulah Binford, brunette beauty, the old time sweetheart of Beattie and according to the Henrico County records. mother of Beattie's first born, now dead.
 While Henry Clay Beattie, in his fathers home, last night, cuddled his motherless five weeks old son, the other woman was in the custody of a half score of strong armed men on the farm of l.. l.. Scherer, chief of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Detectives. nine miles from Rich. mond.
 After the other woman was put , through a rigorous third degree by Scherer and the public officials, yes terday, she was spirited away from Richmond, far from .Beattie. Despite the potent feeling of the Virginia aristocracy, the first families remembered, today, when they spoke of the wedding of Henry Clay Beat tie, of the mysterious yelled woman who then appeared. It had generally been known since Beatties marriag e that a woman was there, heavily veil ed, at the wedding feast and her presence. in a pew at the church, in- spired an unaccountable fear.
 After a thorough sweating, the po- , lice declared that the "other woman" admitted that she was the mother of Beattie's dead child born in 1909, and that she has lately been paid money by the scion of the south to keep away from Richmond. On two oc- casions just prior to the killing Of Mrs. Beattie. the woman was seen by Chief of Police Winner, in the Beat tie automobile.
 The woman was spirited away, last night. in order to have her on hand as the leading witness in today's in- quest and to confront her with Beat tie In her, the police profess to see the motive for the killing.
 Today. the police bent all their ef forts towards proving the ownership of the shotgun found in the road leading from the scene of the tragedy to the Beattie home. Upon this clue the police realize they must base their ultimate solution of the my stery.
 The commonwealth attorney of Chesterfield County declared, today, that he expected the inquest to bring forth evidence enough to warrant an immediate arrest and a subsequent indictment.
