A Curious Swiss Custom.

Tn one part of the canton of Ticinc, Switzerland, 6 very quaint marriage ceremony prevails. The bridegroom dresses in his Sunday best'' and. ac- companied by as many friends and relatives as he can muster for the fete. goes to claim his bride. Finding the door locked. he demands admittanee, The inmates ask him his business. and he solicits the hand cl his chosen maiden. If his answer is deemed sat isfactory he is succsssively introduced to number of matrons and maids. some perhaps deformed and others old and ugly. Then he is presented to some large dolls. all of whom he re jects with scorn amid general merri- ment The bridegroom, whose temper is sometimes sorely tried. is then in formed that his ladylove is absent and is invited to come in and see for himself. He enters and searches from room to room until he finds her in her bridal dress ready to go to church. Then all his anxiety is at an end, and the nuptials are duly celebrated.

The Man Guessed Riqht.

In a church at Amsterdam there is a very ancient funeral monument Of white marble on which are engraved d pair of slippers of avery singular kind with this inscription. 'Effen Nyt," which means exactly" and the story of this singularity is this: A man who was very rich, but who was bon vivant, took it into his head that he was to live a certain number of years and no longer. Under the impression of this idea he calculated that if he spent so much a year his estate and his life would expire together. It hap pened that he was not mistaken in either of his calculations; he died pre- cisely at that time which he had pre- scented to himself in fancy and had then brought his fortune to such a that after the paying of his debts he had nothing left but pair of slippers. His relations buried him in a creditable manner and had the slippers carved on his tomb with the above laconic advice.-Tales and

 That wouldn't make any difference to her"
 ooh, wouldn't it: Once before when I happened to have on an old dress she didn't speak to me, either. Now I'm through with her. If she doesn't care enough for me to speak when I'm in my old clothes she needn't speak at all. won't speak to her when I'm dressed up. That's all there is to il" Did you speak to her?" , 'I should say not. It's her place to speak first. Do you suppose I'm going to attract attention by yelling my lungs out for the like of her?

Fatal ''Short Circuit" Ruins
 Flash Lights
Attempt to Secure Flashlight of Police and Fire Apparatus
 is Spoiled by Accident

That .'the best laid plans O. mice and men gang aft agley," received an- other illustration last night when the elaborate plans arranged for the talk illy of a flashlight picture of the city, s fire and police apparatus in front of the Hotel Stratfieid failed because a crowd trampled on the photographers wires and put his flash light mechanism out of business.
 All plans had been carefully ar- ranged, the apparatus was tested and everything in readiness At the ap- pointed hour an enormous crowd lined the streets and the neighboring roofs, to watch the spectacle.
 The eird sound of the siren horn was heard and suddenly the auto chemical apparatus dashed into view speeding as it never went before. It was followed by the other fire appar- atus and the auto ambulance, auto pa trol and motorcycle police. the whole makinea thrilling spectacle.
 But a shudder of disappointment went through the crowd when the ap- paratus shot by the appointed place and no flashlight went off. Photo grapher Dietz was nearly frantic. He tried again and again but the wires wouldn't work Then suddenly all four went off together, and the result wass a scant picture of the hose wagon, as net result of the attempt
 Photographer Dietz, who Is an ex- pert in this line of work. had pre- pared four different flash stations and four different cameras. all of which were to be operated by electricity.
 But he hadn't counted on the crowd which surged across the roof, where his wires were 1aid trampled on the wires and established "short circuit. ' This put the whole scheme practically ~c ,xs) x,I,o ,t1 CT considered himself lucky even to get the little glimpse of the hose wag- on and horses, that appeared on one of his plates.
 The police department did excellent work in handling the perfectly enor- nous crowd which witnessed this ex- hibition Anyway the people of Bridge port and the visiting photographers were given chance to see Bridge ports apparatus at it's prettiest and all enjoyed the spectacle, even if the pictures didn't come out

A Witty RepIv.


 On one occasion an important dress rehearsal at His Majesty's theater was prolonged until the small hours of the morning. The company grew very weary. particularly gentleman who had been with Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree in good many productions, but who had never attained to more than a very tiny part. When the time came to rehearse his few lines he was so tired that his voice was anything but distinct.
 Whats the matter. Mr. Z.:" asked Sir Herbert in his most sarcastic tones. ''Are you saving your voice for the re- hearsal?''
 s"No, Sir Herbert" was the retort, 'fTve never been able to save anything under your management"
 Sir Herbert. an exceedingly witty man himself. was so pleased with the retort that the salary of the small part man was raised.-London M. A. F.

HONEST MEDICINES
 VERSUS FAKES.

President Taft's recent message suggesting an amendm ent to the Pure Food and Drugs law in it's relation to Prepared Medicines, does not refer to such standard medicines as Foley's Honey and Tar Compound and Foley Kidney Pills, both of which are true medicines carefully compounded of in- gradients whose medicinal qualities are recognized by the medical pro- fession itself as the best known rem edial agents for the diseases they are intended to ,counte~act. For over three decades F'oleys Honey and Tar Com pound has been a standard remedy for coughs. colds and affections of the throat, chest and lungs for chil- dren and for grown persons, and it retains today it's pre-eminence above all other preparations of it's kind. Fo- ley Kidney Pills are equally effective and meritorious. F. B, Brill and Cur tis Pharmacy. P3 135

When the Shoe Pinches,


 'My own common sense and the shoe clerk permitting. shall never wear another pair of tight shoes," said a wo- man. "but if l should be inveigled into making myself uncomfortable | know what I shall do to allay the pain. The ministrations to the aching feet of a man who called on my Italian -cobbler for relief showed me remedy. The mans shoes pinched in three different places. Having located the painful spots Rafael dipped long strip of can ton flannel into boiling water and held the cloth. stretched tightly across the mans shoes. When the water began to evaporate he dampened the cloth again and repeated the process several times. s
 Now said he at last. your shoes are set to your feet. No more hurt,
 "The man gave him quarter. which I thought small price to pay for re- lief from pinching shoe. New York Sun.

Saturday $45O to $75O Waists for $195 and $245 only

''rn Dr. Kebler's anxiety to induce Dr. Rusby to accept the new terms of employment, he certainly betrayed willingness to construe the contract of employment of Dr. Rusby at $1,60O a year in one way to reconcile it with the law and in another way to satisfy Dr. Rusby in his wish to secure $20 day. and I think he ought to be reprimanded for his disingenuous con- duct in writing such a letter as he did.
 "In respect to Dr. Rusby, I do not find that he was advised at all as to the legal difficulty and that he was only seeking for additional compensa- tion which he thought to be adequate. The truth is, the limitations upon bu- reau chiefs and heads of departments to exact per diam experts in such cases as this is doubtful legislative policy. Here is the pure food act which it is of the highest importance to enforce and in respect to it the interests opposed to its enforcement are likely to have all the mo0y at their command needed to secure the most effective expert evidence.
 The government ought not to be at disadvantage in thds regard and one cannot withhold one's sympathy with an earnest effort by Dr. Wiley to pay proper compensation and /se- CUI0 GXH6IL dSSlSldIlCS IOT lIl6 0l1OECC- ment of so important a statute, cer- tadnly in the beginning when the questions arising under 1t are of cap jtal importance to the people. Were "a knowing, =wilfuI1, deliberate effort to evade the statute as construed by the attorney general accompanied by a scheme to conceal the evasion and violation. should think the punish ment recommended by the personnel board and concurred in by the attor- ney general was not too great; but an examination of the whole case sat- isfies me that a different construction ought to be put upon what was done; that the evidence does not show that Dr. Wiley was a party to the core spondence of the letters upon which the chief charge is founded, and that his actipn in the matter was only in accord with previous precedents in the department, which justified him in doing what he did.
 "I find an over zeal in Dr. Kebler and Dr. Bigelow. which prompted a disingenuous method of squa1Ing DT. Rusby's desire for what he thought was adequate compensation with the contract which you and Dr. Wiley were willing to make with him and that both Dr. Kebler and pr. Bigelow should be reprimanded by you.
 Further examination satisfies me that there are much broader questions involved in the investigation and the evidence they have brought out than in the present charge which is narrow and definite and can now be properly disposed of. .The broader questions raised by the Investigations, which have much weightier relation than this one to the general efficiency of | the department, may require much more radical action than the question I have here considered and decided"
