NO JOKES CAUSE INDIGESTION
lndianapoIis' Auetionssr Mayor to Try
Goats Milk Cure.

IndianapoIis' Auctionssr Mayor to Try
Goats Milk Cure.
Mayor Shank Of Indianapolis Is pre-
pairing to drink two quarts Of goats
milk daily as a cure for indigestion
and is satisfied that If a cure results
he will be able to stay in his Office
longer and therefore transact the bust
ness Of the city more expeditiously.
He has gathered statistics showing
that goats milk If taken in sufficient
quantities will cure the disease, and he
is going to try it.
The mayor says that as an auction
eer he was never troubled with any
thing. but the mayoralty gives few op-
portuEi:ies for cracking jokes and he
attributes his indisposition to the fact
that there are not as many laughs in
the mayor business as there were in
crying sales.

The life secret of Edward Wall, who
ran an apothecary shop on New York's
east side, was buried with him.
Wall was found dead Of heart dis
ease recently in his shop, the thresh'
old of which he had not crossed dur.
ing daylight in twenty-five years. Ac'
cording to policemen. Wall once in
awhile would come forth at night and

ner, but this was at rare intervals, and
| he never remained long. He had new
er ridden on the H." trolley or sub
way.
Tilted by . Girlf
His true name was Walls, and he
came from Baden, Germany. ffty-sev-
en- years ago, when he was two years
old. He was graduated from the Col
lege Of the City Of New York and went
to work as a drug clerk in the store
Of which he came into possession upon
the death Of Dr. Fasen, his employer.
1t was about this time-twenty-two
years ago-that he made vow never
to come forth in the sunlight. The
gossip Of the neighborhood was that
he had been Tilted by a girl, but no
confirmation of this was ever had
from Wall. .a-..
One Of Wallis idiosyncrasies-and he
had lot Of them-was that 1t meant
bad luck to pick up money that had
been dropped on the floor. When the
board Of health ordered cleanup Of

When he hired a clerk-and there
were several Of them-his first order
was that he must never step behind
the counter. Clerks were privileged to
greet customers and take their orders,
and Wall filed them behind the coun-
ter. The clerks served solely in an in
termediary capacity. One Of their du.
ties was to fetch Wallis meals from
nearby restaurant. The menu never
varied. It was coffee and rolls for
breakfast; roast beef, potatoes and COT
fee for dinner; a ham sandwich and
coffee for supper. ,.+>.
Wall used neither tobacco nor nQ-
uors. When he needed a suit Of cloth
ing he sent his clerk to purchase it.
If the sleeves or trousers were too
long he turned them up. he would
not permit a cash register or telephone
In his shop. Occasionally he would
ask a clerk how it felt to ride IN a

would not attend one. He got his rec
reation from reading medical journals

Autos ON the Farm.

Until recently the farmer has con-
sfdered the matter Of an automobile a
luxury. 1t never occurred to him that
he could save time and make money
for himself by getting a car which he
could use for general farm use and
his own personal pleasure. He con-
sidered the amount expended a loss.
( 1t seemed to him that he was tying up
capital which he could use otherwise
to better advantage.
AS soon as the farmer realized
that he could save time and make
money by purchasing an automobile
he did so. He bought IT in a way that
he never purchased any other farm
machinery. That is. he paid cash for
it. By actually turning over to an ar
tomobile manufacturer so much
money, he felt that he must needs
get more results from it IL soon
dawned upon him that he could do
and direct much more work than ne
ever could before. If he was a large
farmer he could operate tracts Of land
which were not connected. He could
be all over all Of his land every day
il necessary, and not only that, but
he could be in town and keep in clos
er touch with what was going on away
from his farm. He was in touch with
the world and with its methods. He
became a broader man
He soon found that in addition to
the fact that il saved him time and
was useful, II gave him an opportun-
ity TO visit the neighboring country
without taking him away from his
work too long a time. He was able
to attend political meetings, social
gatherings, and go more regularly TO
church. Perhaps the last-named rea-
son would not appeal TO city people,
but farmers have most frequently
used the excuse for staying away
from church that the horses were tir-
ed. 1t has recently been found by an
investigation. not conducted by our
selves, that church attendance in rur-
al district has increased since far
mers began to use automobiles.
The automobile has been used fur
Their by them to take their children
to and from school, to run storage bat /
teries TO light their buildings, and to
haul light loads. Not only that, but
the horses when used to go TO town to |
haul in farm products, could not be
used in farm work. When an automo- |
bile was possessed by the farmer, the |
horses could be left at work on the |
farm. The farmer soon began to see /
that he was getting more work from
his horses or greater efficiency out of |
them and at the same time he saved |
with the automobile their time and a .
part of the time that he would have |
taken had he gone to town by means |
Of team and buggy.
Some farmers have even gone so
far as TO cease to live in the country, \
but operate their farms from their res
ldence in an adjoining town. This !
can be successfully done where the .
farm is not too remotely removed. In .
that case the automobile will take
him backward and forward SO quickly |
that he is practically on the farm all .
Of the time.

NATIVES HOLD LANDS.
In preference to having the friar
lands or public lands held in large
tracts by a few concerns, with the ma
jority of the Filipino people mere farm
laborers. the popular desire is that
those lands be held and cultivated in
small tracts by the natives. This is
declared to be the better means of dc
veIoping substantial and law-abiding
communities.
In the Philippines the belief is grow
to the islands more because it makes
it handy for American capitalists to ex-
plot the vast natural resources of the
islands than because the Filipino peo-
pie are not ready for independence.

American concerns intend that tha

which they are likely to receive their

Examination OF the last three demo

subject of Philippine independence
Here are a few excerpts from these
platforms:
From the platform Of 190o-"We IA
vor the immediate declaration of the
nations purpose to give the Fflipinos,
first, a stable form of government;
second, independence, and third, pro-
lection from outside interference"
From the platform Of 1so4-''We IN
sist that we ought TO do for the FIJI
pinos what we have done already for
the Cubans. and it is our duty 10 make
that promise now and upon suitable
guarantees of protection 10 citizens of
our own and other countries resident
there at the time of our withdrawal.
set the Filipino people upon their feet,
free and Independent to work out their
own destiny"
From the platform of 190s-~we con-
denim the experiment In imperialism as
an inexcusabIe blunder which mas in
volved US in enormous expenses.
brought US weakness instead of
strength, and laid our nation open to
the charge Of abandoning a fundamen-
tai doctrine Of self-government
In recognizing the independence Of
the Philippines. our government should
retain such land as may be necessary
for ooaiing stations and naval bases"

TIL raise that prize money to twenty
thousand If you find 1t. l can tell
you just where to go and give you all
directions concerning preparations for
the journey, and so forth. It's an easy
way to earn the money, and it will
give you a start in your business.
What do you say?'
I'll think it over" said Jack eau
tiously.
He did think it over with the result
that he closed his Office for year and
made preparation to depart upon this
special mission for Cassius Chalmers.
AS for Dorothy Payton. he did not
exact her promise to wait for him, but
he did say he would come back to ask
her for an answer when the year was
up. He could not tell her the secret of
his mission, but he limited at the lit
tie fortune that might be his If he was
successful and that would enable him
to approach her father.
He knew that the orange beetle was
not the name of the orchid he was to
seek. That, too, was orange tinted and
of most peculiar form. The orange
beetle would prove his clew to the
presence of the coveted orchid. Chal-
mers had said the beetle was three
inches in length and Of horrible ap-
pearance, though quite harmless.
Wherever the precious orchid grew, in
its close vicinity might be found the
orange beetle.
Months after his departure from
New York Jack Hedges was still bent
on his quest IN the upper reaches of
the Amazon.
His guides were Carajonas Indians
from one of the hill tribes, and he
conversed with them in a broken mix
ture OF bad Spanish and elaborate
gestfculations- Never q day passed
but that he came upon strange speci-
mems OF parasitic plants swaying
aloft on some towering tree trunk far
above his reach, and his strong glasses
ena bled him to. study them at close
range, and, so far as his book taught
knowledge went, there was nothing
new that he might take to Cassius
Chalmers.
At last one day they made a noon
day landing in a quiet lagoon where
long creepers reached down to brush
their faces as the canoe grounded
against the muddy shore.
While the guides prepared a simple
meal of coffee and cassava cakes Jack
took his glasses and splashed through
the spongy morass into an open space
where tall tres lowered above the
forest as If seeking a purer air than
that afforded below.
Suddenly he IeSped backward, and
he nearly fell. Quickly recovering
himself, he leaned over aud scanned
the uncanny form Of the orange bee
tie. At last he was within reach OF
the fortune for which he had risked
so much.
About three inches long, with close
iy folded glossy wings, all Of deep
orange tint, the insect jerked small
