FLORENCE REFUSES TO WORK.
Up in the skies, way high above the
common horde of the earth, sailed
Florence Holbrook, booked as co-star
with Cecil Lean in Bright Eyes," the
musical comedy billed for two per-
formances at the Barrymore theatre,
Moline, yesterday afternoon. Some
how or other this woman got the no.
ton into her head that she would
be better off if she refrained from ap-
pearing in the matinee performance
At any rate she refused point blank
to perform. The treasurer, who is
the boss of the show on the road,
plead and threatened and did every
thing in his power to induce her to
go on, but. she remained obdurate.
Usually in such cases the night per-
Torrance is cancelled and the stub
born thespian is made to forfeit a
seventh of the weekly stipend. But
in this instance the treasurer went
one better than that. He informed
Miss Holbrook that she would either
go on or stand for a good percentage
of the loss of the afternoons ticket

he let the public purchase the tickets

last night and saw Miss Holbrool
wondered why on earth the show

she refused TO appear. The perform
ance was far below the standard Of

The miners Of New Mexico tell a
queer story which illustrates their be-
lief in luck. A miner was trudging
along one hot day through a gulch.
with the sun shining on his back. when
he smelled smoke and presently, to his
dismay, discovered that his knapsack
was on fire.
Like all miners, he carried large
lens for the purpose of examining spec
linens, and for want Of room he had
hung the glass on the outside and the
rays of the sun had been concentrated
on his pack.
AS among the contents were fifteen
pounds of powder he lost no time in
dropping the dangerous burden and
getting as far away as possible. The
haversack fell between two big rocks,
while the miner from safe distance
mournfully watched the smoke rising
from his sole worldly possessions.
Presently there came deafening ex-
plosion, and the miner went to gather
up what he could find. Then his eyes
almost started out of his head at see

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
LINcoLN's FUNERAL TRAIN.
BY A. w. MACY.

Magnificent was the funeral
of Napoleon when they brought
him back from st. Helena, 20
years after his death; but sad
der and more touching was that
OF Lincoln when they brought
him back from Washington to
the little prairie city that had
been his home. Twelve days
were consumed in the Journey.
With a little variation, the
route traversed was the re-
verse Of that taken by the pres
idential party on its way to tho
Inauguration, four years be-
fore--Washinston to Baltimore,
to Harrisburg, to Philadelphia,
to New York, to Albany, to Buff
falo, to Cleveland, to Columbus,
to indianapolis, to Chicago, to
Springfield. There were nine
cars in tho funeral train when
1t left Washington, though only
two, the funeral car and the
one occupied by the family,
made the entire journey. 9th
ers were dropped or added as
the train passed over different
lines. The funeral cortese pre-
scented an imposing spectacle
as 1t moved from city to city,
pausing at the larger ones to
give the people an opportunity
to see their beloved dead. New
er in the history of the country
has there been such universal
sorrow. As one writer ex-
pressed II just after the final
scenes, "The very sublimity of
sorrow has attended his funeral
rites, for the high and the low,
tho rich and the poor, the learn
ed and the ignorant, native and
foreign born, white and black,
old and young, have wept at his
tomb"

lowering near to attend to the wants

on the shelf, and the blind man arose

The blind mans telling time by a
watch impressed a visitor, who asked
about it.
You will find" said the librarian,
that most blind persons carry
watches and often consult them. The
watches are of the hunting case sort,
but they have no crystal. and the nu
merals are embossed. The blind per-
son opens the case, and by pressing
his fingers lightly on the face he can
tell the time instantly by the position
of the hands. The watches are espe-
clally made for the sightless, the
hands being made differently, so they
may be distinguished at once.
Il have seen blind persons stand
near an electric clock, that strikes once
on the hour, and with watch in hand

Is Woman Too Fresh

Woman is no longer the salt OF tie
earth: man is. according to the latest
discoveries of science rs chroaicled in
the Paris Matin. Not since Lots wife
has woman had enough chloride of
sodium in her makeup. and that is the
explanation of her general inferiority
to man. Woman. says science. is too
fresh. The newest conclusion of the
laboratory is that the physical and
mental development OLA human being
depends on the percentage of salt in
the blood. The blood of the man has
more salt than the blood of the woman
and for that reason woman can never
expect to equal the sterner sex in
physical force. reason or intelligence.
There is in the Mathis scientific dis
cussion but one redeeming assertion in
favor of womanhood-that is that
since her facial angle is nearer to that
of the higher animals than mans is.
for that reason her senses are duller
and pain hurts her less than it hurts
her salty and more intelligent brother.

BECKER FOUND GUILTY
First Degree Murder Verdict
Returned by Jury.

Guilty of murder in the first de-
gree, was the verdict returned in New
York by the jury which has been try
ing Lieutenant Becker for the muir
der of Herman Rosenthal
The jury had been out exactly
seven hours and fifty-seven minutes.
The length of its deliberations and
the frequency of it's requests for ex-
,hibits, together with unmistakable
signs of hot argument in the jury
room led most of those who waited
at the criminal courts building to be-
lieve that there would be no agree
ment.
So that when the blow finally fell
upon the defendant its force was all
the more crushing. Even the dis
trict attorney himself had said it
looked like disagreement.
This verdict means that the death
penalty undoubtedly will be imposed.
