TALK
TO SUNDAY SCHOOL
Clifford Pinchot Addresses
Scholars at Church of
Reformation.

Clifford Pinchot, former Chief Fores-
ter Of the Government, today preached
the doctrine of conservation to the SGn-
day school of the Church Of the Refor-
nation. With him on the platform was
Ellen NJ. Stone, for whose ransom from
the Turks was paid $4,000 few years
ago. Both speakers were introduced by
Raymond w. Pullman, superintendent
of the Sunday school,
When Mr.. Pinchot visited the church
at Third and b streets southeast this
morning, he told the classes that con-
serVation of natural resources and the
conservations preached by the church
we're much the same. I'VE must leave
the world better than we found it," he
said, whether richer in natural re-
sources or in spiritual advancement"
Miss Stone recounted her experiences
with the Turkish bandits in Macedonia,
and then declared that she would re-
main in this country until Congress re-
imbursed the citizens who subscribed
TO the fund by which her release was
obtained

lust how much politics will be min
gled with the coming season of rest
remains to be seen. That the Admins
tration plans will be talked over as
they bear on the coming session, seems
altogether likely, but 1t is also proDapIe
that no formal conferences will take
place. Those party leaders who wish to
Consult him or whom he may wish to
consult will doubtless just drop IN on
him.
1t is a fact that President Taft has
half way promised Representative Moon
Of Tennessee that he would go South
by way of Chattanooga and Will stop
off for a few hours III that city. Judge
Moon is very anxious TO have the EX-
ecutive include his home in the itinerary
and if the arrangements can be made
without loss of too much time, this stop
will be made.
Not to Meet Roosevelt
1t is announced from Atlanta that
President Taft and former President
Roosevelt will not meet in that city.
Both are on the program of the con-
gress, but they will speak on different
days.
There was a vague rumor a short
time ago around the White House that
Colonel Roosevelt would come to Wash
ington and go to Atlanta on the Taft
car. This, however, was promptly de-
MED,
The President will take no one with
him from Washington. it now seems,
except possibly a Southern Senator or
Representative or two.

WORKS OLD GAME
AND SECURES $40
Gives Envelope Containing
Blank Paper for Two
y $40 Bills.

He was a man about twenty-eight
years old, wearing a dark suit, over
coat, and hat
This is the meager information which
the police have to work upon to find the
man who successfully worked the old
flim-aam game of asking for change and
then leaving an envelope containing
slips of paper in place of money. Miss
Agnes Braund, bookkeeper for Robert
c. Shinn, a real estate dealer, whose
office is at 1925 Fourteenth street north
west, was the victim of the game.
Miss Braund claims that the man en-
tered her office late yesterday after
noon and asked for two $40 bills in eX-
change for twenty 81 bills. When she
counted the bills she says that there
were but nineteen of them, and she
called the attention of the stranger to
that fact. He apologiZed and said he
would give her back the two so bills.
He placed them in an envelope and ap-
parently handed it to her, departing al
most Immediately. When Miss Braund
opened the envelope she found only two
slips of blank paper.

Caught Cold!

How often 1T happens that Sc
rious illness. and sometimes
death, is directly traceable to
neglect of common" cold.
After it is too late, what
wouldn't we give to have checked
the cold at the start, when it
would quickly yield TO simple
home treatment.
A most effective remedy. that
will usually break up a cold over
night and quickly relieve the
most irratinG cough, is made by
mixing ounces of glyCerine, a
half-uunCe of virgin oil of pine
and ounces of pure whisky.
Shake well, and take a teaspoon
ful four times a day. The in
gradients for this mixture can be
bought in any good drug store,
and easily mixed together in a
large bottle. This formula was
used and recommended for many
years by the late DR.. W. A. Leach,
who founded the Leach Chemical
Co. of Cincinnati, O., in whose
laboratories the virgin oil of pine
is compounded.

SIR Hector Macdonald, Fighting Mac" ,"
the ranking officer of the Lost Legion,

No more bitter tragedy was ever lived
than that of Fighting Mac" A soldier

international fame, Won in many hard

of serious misconduct. The long Boer
war lay behind MIN, with his honor

But rlImors began coming from the
Paris police. Macdonald was not dead,
they said. Macdonald was reported as
seen here, there, everywhere. One day
in Cailao, the next in Singapore. One
week in Brazil, the next in Tahiti.
