Burglar Equipment to Prevent Mu-

The newest thing in New York is the

prevent being heard while breaking in

This gave Director Ames an idea.

A noisy foot is not music. but an in

So the order went forth that every
man IN the orchestra pit should wear
over his shoes a felt slipper, or sneak,
er, to give the noiseless foot, so that
no man might offend By breaking into
the show with a rude shuttle or II so
breaking in might not be heard

STILL THEY COME
Four Groups of Home Seekers Have
Settled in louisiana

The Jena Times says: Louisiana and
her people have for several years been
praying for immigrants to come and
settle the vacant lands. In measure
those prayers have been answered, but
up to the present in no very appreciate
manner. However, it seems that the in
hux has started now in steady stream.
Four different groups of home seek
ers arrived in the State this week, total
ing some 400 farmers in all, and judg-
ing from the vent of pleasant express
ions coming from these Northern and
Western agriculturists they have come
to stay.
It will only Be q matter ef few years
when lands that are at present almost a
drug on the market viii be snapped up
by these home seekers and land specu=
lators and at prices which will cause
some of us to gasp.
Louisiana is pleased to welcome any
and all classes of good citizens, and we
say let them come The more the bet
ter, and they cant come too fast.

FATAL TOOTHACHE
Man Died While Waiting at Dentists
Office.

1t is reported from Macon, Ga, that
while waiting in front of the dental par
1ors of DR.. ]. D. Lanier for dentist to
come and give him relief from the pain
of an abscess in tooth, James Presley
Stokes, a prominent and prosperous
farmer residing three miles from Skpi-
perton in the Rutland district district, was
stricken with heart failure Sunday
morning and dropped to the walk in an
unconscious condition, dying almost i'm
mediately.
A small son was with him and imme-
diately called for help. DR.. 0. c. Glib
son, whose office is nearby, came inn
mediate1y, but the man was beyond aid.
He had suffered intense pain all during
the previous night from hit tooth and
made an engagement with the dentist.
1t is believed the pain had caused the
weakness that overcame Mr.. Stokes.
He was 40 years of age and is survived
by his wife, four sons, one daughter and
four brothers and one sister.

AVIATION MEETS
As Becoming as Con1mon as Pig Tracks
Will Soon Be Everybody Can Aviate.

The novelty of soaring in the air as it
becomes widespread, is gradually reach
ing the commercial basis of dollars, and
cents Whatever science, besides daring,
there is in aviation, is no longer i'm
pressive since every county and town af-
fair is incomplete without an aviation
meet.
At the rate aviators are multiplying,
aviation meets will soon be as common
as pig tracks in the country.
But there is a man in the Legislature
of Missouri, Representative Warner,
who wants to prohibit aeroplane ascen-
sions to a greater height than 1000 feet,
and in his bill he provides that aviators
be required to give bond in $4,000 as
an assurance of their obedience of the
law. For such disregard of the law the
offender is to be held and classified as
an attempt at suicide.
Is Representative Warner serious, and
will he guarantee that in aviation fall
ing a hundred or thousand feet will
escape with a broken neck or broken
bones? Common sense would dictate
that aviators be left free to go in the air
a hundred or thousand feet It's all
for the money, and if there should fol-
low fatalities, as already recorded, the
world will continue to sail around and
around till the crack of doom.
Let the aviators alone.
There are now too many laws and
such an enactment as is contemplated by
the gentleman from Missouri is void of
good sense. ..
Let everybody fly" who will, with or
without wings, be it hundred or ten
thousand feet.

urges EMPLOYEES
TO ECON0MIzE
President Miller Of Burlington Road
Makes an Appeal For Greater
Efficiency.

Kansas City, June 17.-"Avoid the
unnecessary and wasteful use of eth
er time or material in connection with
your daily work"
This appeal for greater efficiency
and the reduction of expenses has been
issued to more than $4,000 employees
of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad by President Darius Miller. A
large sum can be saved, Mr.. Miller
points out, if every employee will each
day lose no time at his work, and make
every ounce of material handled by
him count for something.
The step taken by President Miller
Gently by the management of the Rock
Island, which urged all employees to
save the company nickel day. Mr..
Miller says of the plan in his state
ment:
1T would overcome many of the
disadvantages with which the company
is now confronted In the way or IN
creased cost of material and increased
payroll, and without perceptible effort
also would greatly increase the eff
cheney and value in the company's SER
vice of every employee on the payroll.
In this way the company would have
the assistance and support of every
employee in adjusting its affairs to the
decreased eanrngs which are resulting
from the large shrinkage in the volume
of business prevailing at the present
time"
President Miller also informs all en-
ployes in his communication that prac-
teal suggestions for improvement in
the service and greater economy and
safety in operation will receive atten-
ton.
