FEARED THE sCREECH OWL
Woman Was Not Superstitious, but
She Cut Short Her Visit to
the Country.

I'm not bit superstitious, not in
the least bit, butt don't ever want to
hear another screech owl IN the
night" said woman who remained In
the country until the holidays Posi-
lively, l believe l should go mad if
ever heard that blood-curdling sound
again.
you know they say in the country
that if a screech owl comes crying
around the house it's sure sign of
death. OF course, I've no faith in
that sort of nonsense, but all the same
the coachman's mother died after the
owls first appearance
THE owl came back and one of the
employees died. 1t came back again
and l decided that, after ALL didn't
want to spend Christmas in the coun-
try and lighted back to town. The
coachman said something about the
old rule and I just naturally packed
up my buds and bought ticket for
New York.
"Ugh-h-h! l SILVER now whenever
I think Of that owl in the apple tree. :"

UNFOLDING THE AMERICAN HEN,

There can be no doubt that the hen
deserves all the fame she has received,
and all the good newspaper space that
is allotted her. Whatever concerns
the American hen concerns the great
American public. The other day the
United States court of customs ap-
peals, q sort Of glorif1ed legal lexi-
con, decided that bird" was not a
definition for hen" In short that a
hen is not a bird, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. The hen has feathers,
it flies, it sings, but it mustn't be
classified with canaries, wrens, spar
rows and tomtits OF course, this de-
cision wasn't drawn out by any chance
seeker for knowledge. 1t was the re-
suit of an important official appeal.
Eggs imported from China-which diff
fer materially from china eggs-are
usually broken out of the shell and
frozen. The customs officials declared
that these eggs entered into competi-
ton with those of the American hen,
and assessed duty on them of five
cents dozen. The importers insisted
that the eggs were entitled to admis-
sion free as birds eggs, in accordance
with a certain section of the tariff.
They also commended that the eggs
were albumen and only dutiable as
such But when the question reached
the five judges of the court of appeals
they nobly took the side of the Ameri-
can hen, declaring that the oriental
product was a competitor, that hens
eggs are not birds eggs, and that the
duty levied by the customs officers
should stand

AIRMAN WINS $4,000 PRIZE.
Renaux Reaches Top of Puy-de-Dome
After Flying 217 Miles.

ST. Cloud, France. = Aviator Re-
naux, with a passenger, crossed the
official line in an attempt to win the
special Michelin prize of $4,000 hung
up last year for the first airman who,
with companion, flies in six hours
from Paris to the top of Puy-de-Dome
after circling the steeple Of the ca
thedral at Clermont-Ferrand.
Henry Weyman, the American, made
the first attempt on September Z last
but was lost in a fog when the trophy
seemed almost within his grasp. The
distance covered is PIT miles and the
rules required that landing be made
on the summit of Puy-de-Dome, a
mountain rising 1890 feet near Cler-
-Ferrand.
Throughout the voyage he main
tanned a speed of from IS to 80 kilo-
meters an hour This approximates
a mile a minute.
Eugene Renaux is thirty-four years
of age and was formerly a crack BIZ
cyclist and automobilist.

HONEST CONFESSION
A Doctors Talk on Food.

There are no fairer set of men on
earth than the doctors, and when they
find they have been in error they are
usually apt to make honest and manly
admission of the fact.
A case in point is that Of a practi-
toner, one of the good old school, who
lives In Texas. His plain, unvarnished
tale needs no dressing up:
Il had always had an intense preju-
dice, which can now see was unwar-
rantable and unreasonable, against all
muchly advertised foods. Hence,
never read a line of the many ads of
Grape-Nuts, nor tested the food till
last winter.
While in Corpus Christi for my
health, and visiting my youngest sors
who has four of the ruddiest, heaIthA
est little boys I ever saw, I ate my
first dish Of Grape-Nuts food for sup.
per with my little grandsons.
i became exceedingly fond Of it
and have eaten package of it every
week since, and find it delicious, re-
freshing and strengthening food, leav-
ing no i'll effects whatever, causing no.
quotations with which I was for
merly much troubled), no sense of
fullness, nausea, nor distress of stom.
ach in any way.
There is no other food that agrees
with me so well, or sits as lightly or
pleasantly upon my stomach as this
does.
Il am stronger and more active
since / began the use of Grape-Nuts
than l have been for 10 years, and
am no longer troubled with nausea
and indigestion" Name given by

GENERAL BUSINESS
WILL NOT SUFFER
Democrats Not to "Run Amuck" on
Tariff Issue-ConNmon Sense
Is to Rule.

Washington. Democratic lead
ers in the senate and house are
emphatic in the statement that the
make a general attack upon the pres
ent tariff, but will copfne their labors
to the reciprocity question and few
schedules that involve trust prod
ucts"
Senator Owen, the new leader of
the progressive Democracy in the up
per house; Senators Bacon and Over
man, and Champ Clark, who is to be
speaker, have declared that sanity
and common sense will be the rule of
action Of their party.
According to the program these
representative men have talked over
the reciprocity agreement is to be
ratified and those schedules that in
volve monopoly controlled products
and the necessities of life will be re-
vised. The remainder of the sched-
ules will be left for the regular ses-
sion. There will be no wholesale
revision and no upsetting of. business
generally. w u11O LILO 1OS4p1OSAtJ
agreement is under way in the senate
the house committee will work out
it's scheme of revision regarding wool
and cotton, wooden and cotton goods,
-four, dressed meats and other neces-
saries of life and probably agricul-
tural implements.
The farmer is not to be overlooked.
Whatever action the Democrats may
take 1t will compensate the farmer
for the free admission Of agricultural
products from Canada and remove
from his shoulders the burden Of car
rying the entire load Of tariff taxa
ton. In return for free farm prod
ucts from Canada the farmer is to
be given either free or at greatly re-
duced rates the articles he consumes
and the implements with which he
raises his crops.
The general business interests will
not suffer, unless 1t be the agricul-
tural implement trust With this kind
of a program before them the respon-
! sible leaders believe the extra SEES
sion can be limited to about three
months.

So impressed was the grand jury
the other day by the evidence present
ed as to the evil caused by pistol car
rying among the rougher element Of
the city that it made a special report
to Judge Witt urging that the habit be
broken up without delay. Major Wer-
ner of the police department was the
chief witness, showing the gravity of
the situation and the crime and muir
der resulting from the habit, says the
Richmond Times-Dispatch. The grand
Jury believes with him that the matter
ought to be investigated without de-
lay and some remedy adopted. There
can be no question that pistol toting is
at the root of many crimes, and that
it ought to be checked as far as 1t
lies in the power OF the council to
check it.

ROOSEVELT STARTS
ON LONG TRIP
Will Participate In Many Important
Events During the Next Two
Months.

New York. Former President
Roosevelt left Wednesday on two
months tour of the south and south
west. A $4,000 dinner, reunion OF
the Rough Riders, day spent in pre-
siding over ceremonies to be held In
the town of Roosevelt Ariz., to mark
the opening of the Roosevelt dam, one
of the greatest engineering feats In
the west, and long hunting and fish
ing trips in and about the Rockies are
some of the things which will enliven
the peregrinations of the former pres
ident
In Birmingham, he will address a
Child Labor commission. New Or
leans will entertain the ex-Rough-Ri-
der with a $4,000 banquet given I'M
der the auspices of the Commercial
vention of Cattle Raisers, one of
the most powerful organizations In
the state of Texas, will then be ad-
dressed by the Colonel at San An
tonic. The next stop in the init1ner-
airy will be Albuquerque, N. NJ, where
the ex-Rough Rider will spend two
days among his old friends Of the
saddle. From there he goes to Grand
Canyon, Ariz, where a short address
will be delivered. Then on to Phoe-
nix for the opening of the Roosevelt
dam.
In Los Angeles, Colonel Roosevelt
will speak st the invitation of Gov
ernor johnson of that state.
San Francisco, the termination OF
his trans-conttnental trip will receive
some ten days of his time Here he
will divide his time between the Uni
versity Of California, at Berkeley,
where he will deliver the Earl lee
lures, six in number, and his head
quarters in the city where he will re-
ceive visitors from the Pacific slope.
No definite arrangements, other
than a personal promise to be pres
ent at the opening of the new Y. M.
c. A. building at Reno, have been
made, though it is probable that he
will visit friends in Oregon and Ne
vada for an intermediate period, aft
er which he will visit Seattle and
Spokane. No speeches to be delivered
in those states are yet announced; nor
is the length of his stay. At the con-
clusion of his visit he will probably
go to some place in Idaho, thence to
Sand Point, Mont, and home through
the north and middle west.

They seem to be having fun with
the London police. The recent ex-
plot, involving a pitched battle with
two alleged anarchist criminals, sub
jected the force" to great deal of
more or less caustic criticism. And
now the papers and the people are
making remarks because a bulldog,
guarding the body of it's master, who
had committed suicide, held a dozen
big policemen at bay and was only dis
posed of by the roundabout method OF
calling in a doctor who killed the ami
NAL by feeding it poisoned meat. Still,
there is something to be said in be
half of the hobbies" An able-bodied
