The rescue parties carry pulmotors,
with which to revive dying miners
with oxygen. Fifteen lives are said
to have been saved last year by use OF
this device.
In West Virginia last year there
was mine owner who had no faith
in the pulmotors. He insisted on going
into the mine with the rescuing party
and did not wear a helmet. He was
found unconscious from the effect OF
noxious gases, but by the application
of the pulmotor was revived and TAX

a consignment of the little oxygen
pumps and had his men instructed in
their use.

His Only Brief
BY CARL JENKINS
(copyright. 1911. by Associated Literary Prsss)

When the farmer was served with
warrant Mr.. Fairlee had to make
another drive. to tell Miss Bossing
that he was hustling ON the case. and
was sure of winning. Then he had
to drive out again to tell her that
the opposing counsel had asked for
and been granted an adjournment,
but 1t would make no difference with
the verdict when the trial came on.
That is, II It made any difference, 1t
would be in her favor. Then there
were two or three times he drove out
that no mention was made OF the
suit at all, but all the talk was social
According to the way Attorney
Fairlee figured out the case. the
farmer would sooner or later come
to him and offer at least $500 and the
most abject apology to settle the
case out of court. According to the
farmer. he would fight It TO the last
ditch. He got two adjournments, and
then the case was ready for trial
Between the two adjournments there
was more driving out to the manor
but even lawsuits cannot go on for
ever. There came a day when the
attorney drove out to find his client
in tears. He thought she had quite
recovered from the nervous shock.
but 1t looked as II she hadn't. He
was rather pleased. 1t meant heav-
Ter verdict in her favor. When Miss
Losing could control her emotions
she asked:
Mr.. Fairlee, is there any law about
driving on the highway"
You must keep to the right"
Does that apply to women?"
"Of course"
But If a woman is on the left
hand side and doesn't feel like cross
ing over"
"Oh, she mustn't feel that way"
Il know that an old woman driving
a milk wagon should cross over, but
IL it's girl, and she is in her auto,
she shouldn't be obliged to, should
she?"
Miss LOSING" said Mr.. Fairlee.
'T understood that when you met
Farmer Jones you were on the right
hand side of the road"
II thought l was, but I guess l
wasn't"
And he drove into your auto?"
II guess l drove into his load of
hay!"
Mr.. Fairlee, attorney-at-law and
coming Log Cabin jurist, rose up and
paced back and forth for two minutes
and then delivered himself of this
opinion:
Miss LOSING, we are beaten on
our case higher than kite!"
"Oh, I'm SO sorry!"
But it is Just as we'll l have de-
cided to drop the law and take up"
"What?" she whispered.
This" he replied, as he reached
for her hand and continued to hold it
until her mother was heard coming
out on the veranda.

Who says the aeroplane has not
reached the commercial stage? If
anyone has any doubt about the aero
plane reaching the commercial stage.
all he has to do is to go to Flushing,
New York, and see Frank H. Baker.
who has a fish market there.
'I have advertised for an aeroplane
to deliver fish," said Baker. II have
as yet mad no replies. l never used

The Denver Republican has al

Right, is heartily approved with
growing force by the intelligent
Public to which it appeals.
To read it is a liberal Education,

THE YOUNG BRIDES
FIRST DISCOVERY

Their wedding tour had ended, and
they entered their new home to settle
down to what they hoped to be one long
uninterrupted blissful honeymoon.
But, alas the young brides troubles
soon begin, when she tried to reduce the
cost of living with cheap big can baking
powders.
She soon discovered that all she got
was lot for her money, and it was not
all baking powder, for the bulk of it was
cheap materials which had no leavening
power. Such powders will not make light,
wholesome food. And because of the alb
sence of leavening gas, it requires from
two or three times as much to raise cakes
or biscuits as it does of Calumet Baking
Powder.
Thus, eventually, the actual cost to
you, Of cheap baking powders, is moro
than Calumet would be.
Cheap baking powders often leave the
bread bleached and acid, sometimes yell
low and alkaline, and often unpalatable.
They are not always of uniform strength
and quality.
Now the bride buys Calumet-the per-
fectly wholesome baking powder, moder-
ate in price, and always uniform and re-
liable. Calumet keeps indefinitely, makes
cooking easy, and is certainly the most
economical after all.

MAKE THE BEST MATTRESSES
College Girls Employed to Exclusion
of All Others In Mountain
Hostelry.

There is a hotel up in the White
mountains that has only college girls
as mattresses. There are more than
fifty such girls employed in the hotel
and Gen M. G.. Wentworth. proprie-
tor of the hostelry. now says he would
not have any other kind of servants.
He has applications from Wellesley,
Smith, Vassar. Wells and many other
girls colleges for positions as walt
resses, and, in fact. has so many cad
didates he selects his help by most
rigorous examination. The girls are
on duty only for breakfast, luncheon
and dinner, and have the rest of the
day absolutely free. AS the majority
of these girls rank high in class, and
as many children are in the hotel
with their parents. they have abund-
ant time to do tutoring in the summer
and make large fees in that way.
General Wentworth is satisfied with
the arrangement and usually encour-
ages the girls to make all the money

An ornltho!oaIcaI Post.


The invasion of our shores by the
English starting is causing great
deal OF comment In pathological cir
cles.
Have we another English sparrow
pest on our hands? people are every
where beginning to inquire. This is
question which can hardly yet be
answered with certainty by a direct
yes or no. The federal government is
making careful scientific investiga-
tons and has not yet reported its
decision, 1t is safe, however, to say
this, that the starting is liable to be-
come a great pest and nuisance in
this country through pressure of num-
bers. though 1t has useful traits, and
is In some ways a beautiful and inter-
esting bird, far superior to the Eng
fish sparrow.
The sum and substance of the mat
ter. as far as we have gone at pres
ent, seems to be that If the startling
could remain In only moderate num-
bers In locality. its presence would
not be particularly Objectionable, but
that IT, after spreading out all over
the country, it locally increases to
great numbers and immense flocks, as
it gives every promise of doing, 1t
will become a very serious menace,
both to our useful native birds and to
agriculture.-Her X. job in Out

scarcely follow 1t, and delivering at
the other end of the machine count
less printed and folded newspapers so
rapidly that the indicators ON some of
the modern electric presses record as
many as 100000 eight-page papers an
hour? Or have you watched one Of
the tremendous multi-lithographic
presses that pull out roll similarly
and deliver at the other end colored
pictures that pick up six different col
ors of ink in passing and come out so
fast that no human being could count
them?
And has 1t ever occurred to you then
that here was an occupation for your
boy, that he could start in, without
any more education than the common
est of common schools could give him,
when he was only sixteen, and learn
all about these innumerable whirling
rollers and cogwheels and other
wheels, and interrelated moving
things, and finally be at the head of
the multitude of men that stand
around and touch levers now and then
and put in new rolls of paper to take
the place, of the exhausted ones, and,
in short, know everything about 1t all,
and still while he was young man?
Well, your boy can do this very
thing and. furthermore, he can rise
to superintendency of the biggest
printing establishment in the land,
and, and all based on his humble be-
ginning when he was sixteen. And
when he reaches the top-which is
within the compass of your ambi-
tious, energetic son-he will occupy
a place quite as high In development
and with salary that will enable him
to own an automobile If he wishes to,
sooner than if he took job in the
first place that let him wear a white
shirt and creased trousers. (Let me
say emphatically that the best po-
sitions In the land are generally won
by men who started in wearing over
alls.) All he needs is the desire, for
job is always awaiting an ambitious
boy who is willing to work.
The best opportunities are probably
found in the large printing houses that
get out photographic and job
work, books, and AMI perhaps print
magazines; for the work is more dl-
versified and of larger character, and
there are openings to be filled by men
who have made good.
Your boy applies to the foreman.
and, if there is an opening, he will
start in as an apprentice at about 81
