LIfe-slxed Model Of Dog Brought Joy
Into Life Of Little New
Yorker,

In front Of shop on Fifth avenue.
New York. there stands for purposes
OF advertisement life-sized model Of
little dog. To adult eyes it bears but
slight resemblance to a living bow
WOW. but to the little girl who caught
sight OF II one day this week for the
first time 1t was a creature of life and
real personality.
Regardless OF white corduroy coat
and dusty pavement, she dropped on
her knees beside the dog and gazed
in rapture. After breathless moment
she put out her hand timidly. then
drew It back and looked up at her
mother.
"Wili he bite?" she queried. Then,
as her mother shook her head. she
stretched out both hands an patted
the dogs head. He didn't move. and
she went on petting him, blissfully.
Then she put her chubby arms about
him. and gave him joyous little-girl
hug. and. Strengthening her small cord
uroy-coated person once more, she
blithely stroked the dogs right ear.
"rse got to co." she murmured.
"muvver says. But Use comm back"
She looked up at her mother hap
pity. Not once did 1t occur to her to
doubt the models reality.
Hes SO fweet," she gurgled. II
fink he's got the fweetest character of
any doggie ever did see."

Great Alaskan River.

Capt. John Backland, with the four
masted schooner Transit, arrived at
Seattle from the Arctic with news
that the Kubak river. hitherto be-
lieved to be small Arctic stream, is
a mighty river, navigable for at least
300 miles from its mouth.
News of the navigability of the
Kubak river was given to those on
board the Transit by miners and trad
ers, who for the first time had thor
oughly explored it's main reaches for
a great distance inland.
While they say that 1t is navigable
for good sized vessels for at least 300
miles, 1t is their opinion that any yes.

ably could make its way at least 500

CONDUCTOR PASSED THEM UP
Two "Ham" Actors Figured Way to
Beat the Railroad, and
Succeeded.

There were two comedians who had
been stuck in village near Canton.
with Cleveland many miles away And
the first comedian, being the more
witty of the two, and being further
more what they call the feeder" Of
the team, says he:
'What'll We do next?"
'Tll tell you-.et's count the house"
They emptied their pockets and
found that by squeezing cent or two
they could manage to buy ticket to
Cleveland One ticket. They did It,
and started forth--the two grown men
on a single piece of pasteboard. OF
course the conductor kicked.
There's only one ticket here" he
growled.
That's mine," said one of the ac-
tors.
you lie-it's mine," put in the 9TH
er, politely.
"Well, you can't both ride on one
ticket" said the con. "I'll have to put
one of you off the train"
"Me-me," squealed the actors in
chorus. "Put me off-go ahead and
do it spoke first"
well, can't do 1t here. but one of
you must get off at the next station"
But three local stations passed, and
the conductor didn't come back. AS a
matter of fact, he never appeared un-
til just before Cleveland was reached.
'I think somebody's a CRATER" he
remarked in passing, "but my orders
are to take the safe side when there's
a possibility of mistake. Good night.
l can lick either one O. you, if l ever
see you again!"

LIFE is GROWING LONGER
Present Rate Of Increase 10 Found 20
BE Greater Than Ever
Before.

Life Is not growing shorter, but DR..
o. H. Howe, a Massachusetts, physi-
clan. finds that the worlds statistics
indicate a steady lengthening for $50
years, with present rate of increase
greater than ever before. Records
for Geneva show an average increase
In the average age Of all deaths from
21.2 years In the sixteenth century to
1877 years in the nineteenth. In Mas
sachusetts life Is now lengthening
about fourteen years In century, the
average length at the time being about
forty-five years; in Europe the In
crease per century is about seventeen
years, and in Prussia. the land Of
medical discovery and its application,
about twenty-seven years. In India,
which has neglected medical science.
the life span has remained stationary
at only about twenty-five years. The
lengthening of life in Massachusetts
has been promoted by the diminution
OF infant mortality, by the almost COM
plete disappearance Of smallpox and
by the lessening of the mortality from
scarlet fever and especially from diph-
iberia to a small fraction of what It
was few years ago. Continued study
OF disease germs, OF which the num-
ber has Increased In twenty-five years
from only two to between twenty and
thirty now known, will further length
en- life. Modern conditions. however,
partially offset the beneficent work Of
medicine, and Massachusetts statistics
show five times as many deaths from
heart disease in 1895 as In 1850, with
Bright's dease and other kidney dis
orders and cancer more than doubled.

WAGES IN UNITED STATES
Large Proportion Of American Work
men Unable to Maintain Eff
cient Standard of Living.

An estimate was made some time
ago that New York family consist
ing of man, wife and three children
under fourteen could maintain a nor
NAL standard Of living on an annual
income of 5000. Then the question
arose as to the number of families
whose income equaled that sum.
Scott Nearing, the economic writer
of the University of Pennsylvania.
studied the question for many months
and in a book, wages in the United
States" which was published recent
ly, he states the conclusion that a
large proportion of American work
cient standard of living Three
fourths Of the adult men and nineteen
twentieths of the adult women, he
says, actually earn less than $500 a
year, or to give his conclusions more
in detail, one-half of the men are
earning less than $500 a year, three.
fourths less than 5000, nine-tenths
less than $500, while less than ten
per cent. receive more than that fig
ure. OF the women, one-fifth earn
less than 5000 annually, and three
fifths less than 1926, while only one
twentieth earn more than $500.
To arrive at these figures Doctor
Nearing takes up various state wage
statistics. Massachusetts,, New Jer-
sey, Kansas, Michigan, New Hamp-
shire. Rhode Island and Pennsylvania
are considered, while special wage
reports from Wisconsin and Illinois
are included.

Confessions of a klna.

1t is told of King George-and there
can be no harm in giving the story
that he said to one of the plain men
who are his friends as well as his
servants on the hills of Balmoral:
"If they would only let me live six
months here every year, they might
do what they like with me for the
other six."-Fortnighfly Review,

CARELESS ABOUT APPEN-

Many East Jordan people have
stomach or bowel trouble which is
likely to turn into appendicitis. III
YOU have constipation, sour stomach,

POOR OLD HUMAN NATURE
oId-Fashioned Man Declares When
Motorists Are Masked No One

Human nature, at least as she is
depicted In humans, Is being sadly

pize you. Now you are masked worse

don't look like the women God made.

A Haverhill (Mass.) shoeman has
obtained patents giving him the right
to make vamps and tops Of a vege-
table fiber which he has invented and
perfected to be used in the manufac-
ture of shoes. A few cases of shoes
have been made of this material,
which appears 10 be a good sub
stitUte for leather. The fiber is said
to be particularly adaptable for warm
weather wear, because being OF a
woven material. air can penetrate the
vamp and top. The inventor also
