Just Letting of Steam.

An Englishman living in New
Guinea writes to London paper; "A
neighbor Of mine, just as everyone
was going to bed. began TO make
night hideous with his shrieks and
groans. shouting like some
midnight roysterer in the chorus Of a
comic song. and then blood-curqing
wall, as Of a dog that bays at the
moon. There was nothing particular
the matter with the man. In New
Guinea we are denied the means OF
excitement, or the consultations, or the
narcotics, or the designations. OF cul-
tured and civilized men apd women,
so we must just let ourselves 80, and
howl and sing and shout. and then
howl again. And nobody takes much
notice and nobody minds"

all this as, OF course, no one who has
not lived in a great city can really
realize it. they would understand bet

because Tom and his wife wish to
slight Mary and her husband that
they have not invited them to visit

CIGAR SMOKING IN GERMANY
Business Is Increasing as Kaiser's
Subjects Realize Pipe Is Un-
randy to Carry.

Mr.. A. Won Reiger, president OF che
town council OF Dresden, Germany,
who is at the Ebbitt is also a manu-
facturer of cigars.
1.-THE cigar business in Germany is
on the Increase said he. In my
factory IL ] do not turn out 100000 a
day ] consider business very poor.
Germans. long famed for their variety
and quality of pipes, are taking to
cigars IN former days a German was
always pictured with a stein of beer
and a big Curved.stemmed pipe. Now
the cigar has taken the latter's place.
The main reason for the change
is the fact that pipes are unhandy TO
carry around. They take up a lot OF
space in ones pocket, and a packet of
tobacco takes up some more. Ger
mans are outdoor people, and the
cigarette Is too mild for them. A
man who is in the open all the time
likes a strong smoke. and the more
he is out of doors the stronger he
wants il. Cigars can be carried cas-
fly, and they give even more satisfac-
tion than the pipe. Hence the change.
My" he continued, but your
American prices are high! No wonder
n man is not considered rich unless
he is the possessor Of 100000. Why,
in Germany If a man has 100000
marks, which Is something more than
100000 in American money he is
considered rhenomenally rich. It is
a shame we can't ship foodstuifs
across the ocean to you without pay

Germany imports annually about
100000 live geese, Of which seven
Fights come from Russia, where these
birds are bred in vast numbers
throughout the western and southwest

from the raisers by travelling dealers,
who drive them IN huge fiocks to the
frontier stations, where they are en-
trained for despatch to Berlin and 9TH

The cars used for this purpose are
built in four decks, each car holding
about 1900 birds. Special trains are

Woman and Her Check.

She was brisk and full of business
as she hustled iRto the bank, stepped
to a desk, Endorsed a check and then
handed 1t In at the paying tellers
window.
You see, I've Endorsed 1t and come
to the right window the very first
time" she said with a beaming smile.
1--WE women are getting to know a
little about banking"
That's very true, indeed, madam"
said the teller, "but this check is not
signed by any one"
well, l just got it from my hus-
band. He's In Chicago. Here's his
letter, telling that he is enclosing IT,"
That's all good enough, madam,
but the check itself must be signed"
Here's his name on the letter.
Can't you cut it off and paste it on
the check?"
II took the teller some time to ex-
plain and he still wonders II she
doesn't think he just didn't want her
to have the money.

PREPARED FOR THE WORST
Music Hall Manager Sells Smelling
Salts to Patrons of His
lawful Spectacle"

When 1t comes to advertising dra-
matte thrills, consider the manager OF
a music hall and moving picture show.
Horrors are that managers speciality.
Posters and a piratical barker do their
share toward creating goose flesh, but
they are not nearly so effective as the
youth who offers bottles OF smelling
salts for rent. Right out in the middle
of the sidewalk he stands, thrusting
his volatile wares-stoppered, for
unately-beneath your nose.
Coin ipside?" says he. Take this
you'll need it; faint without it. Only
FIVE cents. Brace you up for the awful
spectacle"
You stop; you wonder. What can
the awful spectacle be like? The
chances are that you had no notion
of going to that show or any other
show just then, but the prospect OF
seeing something so blood-curdling
that you can't live through it without
smelling salts appeals to your imagina-
ton. You drop all business and go in.

Woman's Relative Value.

Once at the table of Sir James
Knowles, editor of the Nineteenth
century. the talk ran on the relative
physical and mental value OF women.
Turning to Sir Ray Lancaster, the
aged prime minister (Mr Gladstone)
said: 81 am of the opinion that the
relative value OF a man and a woman
is in all classes of society about the
same as 1t was in my grandfather's
time in jamaica. When they wanted
to buy a negro they gave one hundred
and twenty pounds for a man and
eighty pounds for a woman, and" he
added, that is a fair measure of their
relative values the world over"

ARMED MEN SURROUND
NEGRO'S HIDING PLACE

Durant, Okla, Sept. ARMED men
Thursday surrounded a clump of woods
east of Platter, about two or three
miles in diameter each way, and will
remain on guard there in the belief
that the unknown negro who attempt
ed to attack Mrs. Ferrell on Wednes-
day afternoon is concleaded there with
another negro said to be murderer
from Texas. Guards have been posted
at all bridges and fords of the Red
river in order to prevent the escape
of the negro into Texas.
The search for the man continued
without cessation all of Wednesday
night and Thursday, but the only trace
of him that has been found is a tale
to the effect that negro was seen
to leave the woods near Platter and
visit a spring near that place. 1t is
said this negro returned to the woods
Officers express the belief now that
there viii be no more attempted depre-
dations, as they believe practically all
the bad negroes left Bryan county
more than a week ago Others will be
prevented from coming in by the guard
that is being kept.
Sheriff Hamilton expresses the be
lief that all the trouble in this county
has been occasioned by negroes from
Texas.
Public sentiment is being soothed as
much as possible in order that a nor
NAL quiet may reign here when the
schools open in September and the
citizens are more than willing to let
the matter die down

RECOGNITION OF
WESTERN STATES
Grain Men Of the United States to
Hold Their Annual Convention
in Omaha.

Toledo, O., Sept There is to be
convention in Omaha October 8, 10
and II which is of more significance
to the people of western Iowa, Ne
braska. the Dakotas, Kansas and
Wyoming than any meeting that has
been held at the Missouri river for
a long time
This is the annual convention of the
Grain Dealers National Association,
which is composed of elevator owners,
brokers' commission men, track buy
ers and receivers of grain in nearly
every state of the Union from Mime
sofa to Florida and from Wyoming to
the Atlantic
The association has in the fifteen
years of its existence met in Mime
apolis, Chicago. Milwaukee, Buffalo,
Cincinnati, Peoria, St Louis and other
grain growing centers, but this is the
first time the gathering has ever gone
as far west as the Missouri river.
The reason Omaha has been select
ed as the city in which to hold the
convention in 1911 is because of the
great strides taken in the past few
years by the states named in develop
ing their cereal resources. The
growth of irrigation, the adoption of
dry farming, the planting of trees and
the breaking in of new land have all
combined to encroach upon what has
heretofore been regarded as the great
arid west, until immense tracts of land.
believed some years ago to have been
Of little value except for grazing, have
been brought under cultivation.
1t was this great stream of golden
grain pouring out of the Datotas, Ne
braska Wyoming Kansas and Okla
homa. that attracted the attention of
the members of the Grain Dealers Ma
tional association and induced them for
the first time to hold their convention
in the Missouri river country where
they could meet with the western grain
men through whose thrift millions of
bushels Of cereals have been added
TO the worlds supply About 1000
delegates from all over the country will
attend the convention which is to be
addressed by some of the most prom
inent leaders in the west. and when
the grain men return to their homes
they will know more about that great
empire between the Missouri and the
Rockies than they ever dreamed of.

SEASON OF FREQUENT
DEATHS BY DROWNING

This Is the season Of the year when
deaths by drowning are most frequent.
Every Monday mornings paper and
every holiday tells Of toll Of young
lives paid for foolishness or accidents
that might have been avoided. Until
well on In September these casualties
will continue.
As the result Of old traditions there
is In many places too ready acquies-
cence in the belief that a person who
has been under water for five or ten
minutes or even fifteen or twenty min
utes Is necessarily dead. There are
wellauthenticated records of the resus-
citation Of persons who had been sub
merged for half an hour or even long
or. Such cases occur particularly in
women and children, in whom the
fright al finding themselves in danger
of drowning brings on a collapse or
faint in which the heart and breathing
stop and they sink, but low grade life
processes continue for considerable
period. Strong men who have battled
for their lives and then sunk are not
so often revived, though if taken with
cramp they too may suffer from shock
or fright with the resultant collapse
that is apparently natures method Of
giving the longest possible opportunity
for life under these circumstances. In
such cases, efforts to revive the drown
ed person should not be abandoned
until all chance Of resuscitation Is
gone, says The Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association in a recent
editorial on this subject.
Patients have been reported as not
breathing for fifteen minutes to half
an hour and yet they have been resus-
citated.
Ordinarily the methods of resusci-
tation are and ought properly to be
exercised at the scene of the accident.
Often the person is pronounced dead
even before a physician has seen him
only rarely are such cases transported
to hospitals to be treated The ordin-
airy methods of artificial respiration
might well be carried on In an ambu-
lance and then in the hospital itself
Recourse might be had to any proceed
ures. even surgical that seem to give
,fbe slightest hope. Certainly in The
present state of our knowledge 1t
would seem that some direct irritation
of the heart muscle should be tried be
fore the patient is pronounced dead
The saving of even few of these
young lives would be very precious

latter TO include judges, declaring that

system Of representative government

pointed to Wisconsin. declaring it TO
be the one state in the Union where
government is entirely by the people.
THE reason the middle west is max
ing history today" he said. is because
out Of Pennsylvania, New York and
Massachusetts, the strong characters
went into the Mississippi Valley forty
or fifty years ago and laid the founda-
tons for the citizenship which is now
the most progressive in the world
The speaker said that the people
need not fear the initiative, referen-
