The Piano Contest.

AO 1 1OUV OUUCCSCs
There is work about piano
contest. It has been demon.
strated during the last several
weeks that to attain a high
standing q contestant in the $40O
Upton piano prize contest had to
do some energetic work to keep
up. That some are doing this
is shown by the activity of quite
q number. Those who simply
wait for their friends TO cast
votes will be disappointed be.
cause the more active contestants
are soliciting business and other.
wise working for their individual
interests so that the indolent
ones will be left way behind and
out. Mr.. Doremus states. to the
several who miss the prize but
who rank within a few of the
leader he will award compli.
mentary prizes, or tokens. to
show his appreciation of their
efforts to get votes. Many con.
testants have made up lists of
names of persons as had been
requested in a circular letter
some days ago. This privilege
will expire on Sept. ~. Those
who have neglected this oppor-
tunity to increase their standing
will do we'll to get busy at once.
Again, as to the trading books
there have been sold twenty two
trading looks which will bring
to each contestant selling them
ut least 10000 votes. These
trading books are good for trade
with the Peoples Drug Co.'s
store. Any buyer Of one may
have the book secured to his
satisfaction by applying in per.
son and requesting it.
The piano recital last Saturday
was not as well attended as
might have been expected be.
cause many thought the affair
special invitations.
However, there were five or six
contestants with a few friends
present and they tested
the piano by rendering selections
that brought out the rich tones
Of the instrument and demon
strated what q valuable prize
was being offered at such costless
conditions.
Another recital may be given
when q more elaborate program
will be given. In the meantime
any contestant may examine and
test the instrument. Next Wed.
nesday, Sept. 20. five special
sales will be put on, namely: .
sale Of . five cent article will
bring 1000 votes; q sale Of ten.
cents worth will bring 1000
votes: Of fifteen cents, 5000; Of
twenty cents, 1900; and Of
twenty-five cents worth, 5000
votes. All other sales will bring
one vote for each cent of purchase
except certain bargains sales
which are offered independently.
The coupons Of the trading btnks
will be receivable the same as
cash.
We are requested to announce
that any contestant who has
dropped out may re.enter the
race upon notice to the manage.
ment, without cost, except an
agreement to work COR the prize.

The history OF the sword stroke the
Partisan fencers call the coup de
Monserrat" is romantic. The hero of
the story was a young Partisan mu-
sician engaged to be married to a
young lady of Bordeaux. Quarreling
with a cousin of his fiancee, he got
his ears boxed at the Bordeaux club.
Ignorant Of fencing, he dared not re-
sent the insult and renowned his en-
gagement. But he also took fencing
lessons from one Monserrat, a maitre
darmes OF Toulouse Monserrat taught
him one trick only, and he practiced
1t for year. At the end Of that time
he returned to the Bordeaux club,
slapped his mans face and, being call
ed out, instantly ran his opponent
through the body with his cunning
lunge

Loss Of Wsiqht In Rowinu.

A well known physician in New
York city who has long been identified
with aquatics, says that the average
individual loss Of weight In four mile
pull, whether In race or row
against time. is two or three pounds.
Under peculiarly trying conditions Of
heat the individual loss may reach five
or six pounds. On the other hand.
says this physician many Oarsmen go
through four mile pull with the
loss Of only about pound in weight.
This lost weight is fully recovered by
the next day. Proper training is so ar
ranged In these days that u four mile
race comes only when the Oarsmen are
thoroughly rested and at the top OF
their training weight, so that the loss
of weight rarely indicates that the In.
diyidual is ''stale," or below good train
ing condition.

"The period of the history Of France

One who appropriates-that is, steals
the literary work of another to use
1t as his own thought, the child or
his own brain, is guilty Of plagla-
rism, as everybody knows, yet few are
acquainted with the derivation Of the
word or know that the plagiarist Is lit
orally child stealer. Among GER
tain class of criminals in Rome In the
time Of the earlier Caesars, there ex-
listed the damnable custom Of stealing
children and selling them as slaves
According to Roman law, the child
stealers, when detected, received as a
part Of the penalty for their crime, a
severe Jogging. AS the Latin word
playa signifies a stripe or lash, the
ancient kidnapers were termed ''pla'
glari'-that is, deserving Of stripes
So both the crime and the criminals 70
ceived their names from the castigs

A woman of Louisville, KY, who en-
Joys a game OF cards, recently visited
friend In Indianapolis. Sunday
morning came, and the hostess invited
her visitor to accompany her to Sun

teacher OF the Bible class Of which the
hostess Is member to ask each mem
Der OF the class to read verse from
the Bible and comment on 1t. The
visitor from Louisville had not been
Informed Of the teachers custom.
However, the teacher seemed to think
that visitors as well as regular mem
bers should participate, and when the

Roman Bricks.

When the preparations for rebuild
ing the Campanile, In Venice, were
undertaken the archaeologists were
afforded an opportunity to make some
interesting studies of the bricks. 1t
was found that they had been used
In arches, Notifications, the tops Of
walls and In other ways before they
were built into the campanile and
that they were not Venetian but Ro-
man bricks. These ancient bricks
were made In slices, for in many the
layers could be seen undisturbed. 1t
is said that bricks made this way can
bear a greater weight than modern
bricks The bricks examined were Of
the first century. One Of them bore
the imprint Of a horseshoe, which
may prove that Romans used horse
shoe like ours, although it Is generally
believed that their horseshoes were
strapped on, not nailed.

Il L. An Internal Disease And Res
Quires An Internal Remedy.
The cause OF rheumatism and kindred
diseases is an excess of uric acid in the
blood. To cure this terrible disease this
acid must be expelled and the system so
regulated that no more acid will be
formed In excessive quantities. Rheuma-
tism is an internal disease and requires
an internal remedy. RUBBING with
Oils and Liniments WILL NOT CURE,
affords only temporary relief at best,
causes you to delay the proper treat
ment, and allows the malady to get q
firmer hold on you. Liniments may ease
the pain, but they will no more cure
Rheumatism than paint will change the
fiber Of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered q per-
feet and complete cure. which is called
Rheumacide. Tested in hundreds OF cases.
II has effected the most marvellous cures;
we believe 1t will cure you. Rheumacide
gets at the joints from the inside, sweeps
the polsons out OF the system, tones up
the stomach, regulates the liver and
kidneys and makes you well all over.
Rheumacide strikes the root of the dis
ease and removes Its cause. This splen-
did remedy is sold by druggists and
dealers generally at 60c. and 81 a bottle.

The value Of Some Deaths.

The wreck OF Fairfield, Conn, one of
the worst ever experienced on the New
Haven railroad, in which five lives are
known to have been lost, calls TO mind
the fact that there is practically moth
ing as cheap as human life To con.
slider human life as commodity and
then to place it in market list as
cheap, at first thought might seem to
border on the barbaric, but a moments
reflection Of the conditions in the Stun
districts OF our great cities, OF the ter.
rife casualties of wars, OF the awful
ravages of famine and epidemics, must
needs bring the truth of such state
ment forcibly to mind.
OF deaths in railroad wrecks, how
ever, there is gratifying phase. Life
in such cases is not sold cheaply with
out resulting benefits. benefits greater
than in most cases where the human
spark is extinguished, For every such
death results in the instant and con-
centrated attention Of brilliant minds
to correct those mistakes which brought
about the accidents This has been the
history of railroading, until to-day it
is difficult to find a safer place than
on train which is plunging along at
a mile minute clip.
1t is true that the greatest OF care
and caution, the application of the
greatest of ingenuity cannot overcome
the human element. No man is infal-
lible; no man ever will be born Of such
an interesting estate but each day
brings some new device which does away
with mans hand Machinery becomes
more reliable than man.
If humans took as much care Of
themselves as the railroads take of them,
deaths on railroads would be few in
deed. 1t is the trespasser rather than
the passenger, who is the victim, by
the general rule.-St. Adams Messen-
GER
