Due Precautions.

In a town in Georgia there was an,
old preacher whose knowledge of tbs
world was not wide nor deep, but who
conceived it to be place where, il.
one should trust his fellow men, he,
should at the same time keep an eye,
on his own interests.
One hot day he pulled off his coat
and preached a vigorous sermon, IN
der the pines, in his shirt sleeves. At
the close OF the open-air service one
Of his admirers approached him and.
said, regretfully:
Il don't suppose that you knew that.

Il reckon I knew it well, for I'd
been told of It," said the preacher,

as he might be, and anyway, I put my
coat on the chair close by and had it

ReeeptseIes for the Reby.

1t is a remarkable fact that no other
race has shown more skill, ingenuity
and careful thought in the preparation
OF receptacles for the baby than have
the American Indians. OF course, there
are hampers, baby baskets and gilded
baby carriages In the department
stores and in the homes Of the wealthy
that in costliness and elaboration sur
passes the widest dreams of the red
mother of the western plains; but
these are exceptional, and at best are
mere articles of commerce, to be

other commodity, and discarded with
put g thought when no longer needed.
IN their construction there is not a
shred OF sentiment or Of a mothers

FOOD CONSUMPTION GROWING
American People Are Not Eating
More, but the Number to Be Fed
Increases Rapidly.

In 1899 the American hen laid eggs
IN sufficient numbers during the cal
endar year to amount to seventeen
dozen for each inhabitant of the
United States. Omitting all thought
of adding a single egg to the individ-
ual share of eggs, but merely to main
tain the 1900 proportion of eggs to
population the hens of the United
States In 1910 must be laying annual
ly 221, 100000 dozen more eggs than
they laid in 1899.
The per capita product Of milk in
the year 1899 was $50 gallons per
annum. To maintain this per capita
for the benefit Of our increment of
population, says the Atlantic, the milk
supply in the year 1910 must exceed
that of 1899 by 1922, 100000 gallons.
To maintain butter, Of which the
Per capita amount produced in 1899
was fourteen pounds, at the same per
capita in 1910 the aggregate produc-
ton must exceed the former figure

the community to the extent Of even

means approximately 10000 bushels),
there must be raised 100000 bush

vegetable than were reported in 1899.

noted by observing that to supply it

OsIesby Acts Upon Communication
From Deneen.

Springfield, Ill.-State Senator Da-
he had accepted bribe, and who sent
his resignation to Governor Deneen
some days ago, is now a private citi-
zen, having been dropped from the
Illinois senate by Lieut.-Gov Oglesby
thereby escaping dismissal.
The senate investigating committee
which has been hearing testimony in
regard to bribery in connection with
the election of Senator William Lori
mer reported that, although it had
found sufficient evidence to warrant
the removal of Holstlaw, it was not in
its power to recommend such action
in view of his official resignation, di-
rected to the governor.
The report suggests that a new res
Olution be adopted empowering the
committee to subpoena witnesses and
administer oaths. The report will be
made a special order for next Tues
day.
Following this report came a resolu-
ton authorizing the investigating com
mittee to make thorough investiga-
ton of all bribery charges, compel
witnesses to testify under oath and to
produce documents and other papers,
Action on this resolution also was
postponed.
Prior to the reading of the commit
tees report a communication from
Governor Deneen was presented to the
senate which stated that the executive
had received the resignation of Hoist
law dated January 4, and that the Of
flee of senator from the Forty-second
district was, therefore, vacated.
Lieutenant Governor Oglesby Their
declared Holstlaw's seat vacant.

SEVENTEEN DROWN
IN COAST STORM
Three HaFges Wrecked ard rhe;"
Crews Lost-Bodies Cast
Upon Beach.

Highland Light, Mass. - One
of the worst calamities that tho
life-saving crews along the Massachu-
sets coast have witnessed in years
occurred on the Peaked Hill sand
bars off the storm-tossed shores of
grim Cape Cod
They stood on the beach with their
life boats and other apparatus, unable
to render assistance, while three
stout coal-carrying barges were hurled
to destruction and all on board-sev-
enteen men-lost their lives in the
boiling surf
The barges were the Treverton,
Corbin and Pine Forest. valued to-
gether at $125,000.
With the exception of Captain
Brown of the Treverton, who belonged
in Lincolnville, Me-, and Captain Hall
of the Pine Forest, Provincetowr
man, the drowned sailors were Phila-
delphians.
The tug Lykens of the Reading
Coal company started from Philadel-
phia last week with the Treverton for
Portland, the Corbin for Portsmouth
and the Pine Forest for Marblehead.
The Lykens, with her tow, was off
Nausett and could be seen in the
moonlight. from the shore, as she was
hugging the cape for lee. The life
saving patrol saw her standing off
shore to avoid the Peaked Hill bars,
but darkness blOtted her out four
hours before dawn
The men CT the Pine Forest were
seen to gather in a group, cut loose
the little dory on top of the barge's
house and launch it. All five men
then tumbled in for the last fight for
lifS, but before they had grasped their
oars, a big comber came rolling round
the stern Of the barge and over them.
That was the end

POLICE HELD AT BAY BY DOG.
More RidicuIe for London Force as
Result of Incident.

London. = These are trying days
for the London police. A dozen
of them were held at bay for five
hours outside a bedroom by bull
dog guarding the body of his master,
who had committed suicide.
After exhausting their resources to
capture or kill the dog, a doctor was
sent for. He poisoned some meat,
which was thrown into the room
through a hole in the door. Not until
the animal was dead did the police en-
ter the room.
Taken in connection with the battle
against two anarchists a few days
ago, in which hundreds of police and
large detachments of soldiers took
part, this incident has served to in
crease the ridicule to which the police
are being subjected.

DUBIOUS OUTLOOK
 FOR GAME TODAY.
Conditions Against Playing in Phila- deIphia-McGraw Won't Declare His Next Pitcher.

Philadelphia, Oct. 19.-The outlook for playing the fourth game of the worlds baseball championship series here tomorrow is somewhat dubious. The weather reports indicate that at mospheric conditions here will be un- settled, and the grounds at Shibe park are still wet and soggy from the downpour of the past two days.---
 The players on both teams are now anxious to have the remaining games disposed of as soon as possible, and if conditions are at all favorable, the game which has been twice postponed will be played. Manager Mack of the Philadelphia American league team smiled today at the report that the de- lay has done the New York team more good than it has the Athletics. He pointed to the fact that the rest has enabled Baker, the best hitter in tie series, to recover fom the spil1ing he received from Snodgrass. Jack Barrs. he said suffered a bump i'll New York and the respite would benefit him also.
 Neither Manager Mack nor Manager McGraw would announce their pitch CTS for toTnorrows S game. It is believ- ed, however, that Bender will go in for the local team, and that Mathew son will be on the mound for the Gi- ants. Mathewson made the statement last night that AnneS would probably pitch today, but since the big fellow has had an additional days rest, it is thought that McGraw will send him back against the American leasue champions and hold Marquard in re- serve for the fifth game in New York It is argued that Marquard has shown form equal to that of MatheYson, and

 1y Cy. Young ran along for twenty-one years, and Matty has now worked but eleven. I figure that aan count upon his help for at least fva more pennant battles.
 Marquard was late in starting, but you can see how he has come forward since getting his stride. Next spring he will have all this experience and even more stuff to fall back upon. He has as much today as any pitcher in the game, and as he takes the best possible care of himself, and is young and strong in addition, I believe that I can bank upon him for a, long time to come as one of the great left-hand- CTS of the circuit.

When the strange case of the Iowa, woman who had slept constantly for 43 days was reported, many people who could net sleep at all wished that they might have a similar experience.
 You would be surprised to know how many people there are right around here who hardly ever get more than two or three hours sleep at night, owing to bad health, general weakness and worn-out condition. Miss Louisa Ludwig. Newark, N. J.. who went through all this, has writ ten 9 letter saying:
 Having felt weak, tired and badly run down, with little appetite and in ability to sleep well, I began to take Vino1 which | had heard was the best remedy for that condition. It has done me great good by building up my strength, improving my appetite and enabling me to sleep soundly..
