There are cheaper laundry soaps than
Fels-Naptha but no other SO economical.
Sounds odd, doesn't itl
But it's true.
Fels-Naptha is more economical be-
cause it saves time, saves work, saves the
cost of fuel and makes your clothes wear
twice as long.
Fels-Naptha cleans your clothes in
cool or lukewarm water in summer or
winter without boiling or hot water to
weaken their fabric, and without hard
rubbing to wear them into holes.
1t takes half as long and requires
much less work than the old way.
Try it next washday.
See how white, and clean, and sweet
Fels-Naptha makes your clothes.
Follow carefully the directions on the
red and green wrapper.

Anty Drudge Gives More Reasons.

Little Eunice-"Boo Hoo! had pretty pink frock
and mama cooked it and the pink all came out"
Mother-I didn't know the color would fade or l
shouldn't have boiled it along with the other
clothes"
Anty Drudge-"Anything will fade, my dear, if it's
boiled long enough. Boiling weakens the fabric and
dissolves the dye The best way is not to boil your
Clothes but to wash them with Fels-Naptha in cool
or lukewarm water. Fels-Naptha sets the coors
instead of fading them besides making the clothes
wear longer. 1t also saves you time, work, bother
and money"

AGREE UNANIMOUS
CONSENT BILLS TO
GET RIGHT OF WAY
House to Take Up Only
Routine Matters During
Convention Period.

After considerable parleying, the
House reached a unanimous consent
agreement today that private and unani-
nous consent bills shall have the right
of way next week, while the Republican
convention Is in session The agree
ment excerpts suspension day." which
Is Monday, and calendar Wednesday.
Congressman Foster of Illinois said
he saw no reason why the House should
take any -cognizance of the national
conventions. He asserted the members
should stay on the job and be ready
for adjournment on July L.
What is the sense in that?" asked
Uncle Joe Cannon. 1T Is perfectly
clear that the Senate is not going to
transact any business for two weeks
What good can come of one brach of
Congress remaining in session."
We'll, the House ought to keep a
quorum present and be ready for any
sort of legislation. Let us show the
country that we were ready to adjourn
on July l, said Mr.. Foster. while n
half dozen members who are anxious
to get home applauded vigorously.
Uncle Joe said he had heard these
sort of sounding brass and tinkling
symbol speeches for forty years" and
that everybody realized no business of
general Importance could be transacted
during convention weeks.
On request of Congressman Undelr-
wood, the House finally agreed to take
up only private and routine matters
next week, and II Is probably a similar
arrangement will be made for the period
of the Baltimore convention.

been dissolved by Judge Breezy, in

fused, on the ground that no property

ONE OF REMAINING
ALLEN F:UG|TNES IS
REPORTED CAUGHT
w. Edwards, Who Helped
Shoot Up Court Room,
Is In Custody.

LEXINGTON. Ky, June 14.-Wesley
Edwards. one of the most desperate
of the Virginia Allen clan, who shot up
the court house ut Hillsville, va, on
March II, and killed five persons, has
been captured az Clay City, Powell
county, this state.
No details of his arrest are vet avail
able. The news came here in the
shape Of 4 brief special dispatch. 1t is
believed, however, that there was no
fight; that Edwards, lullcd into Il
false sense of security by the lapse of
time siace any trace of him had been
noted, in some manner betrayed him
sslf. -,, 'aae
There has been 4 reward of $1,000
for HIM, dead or alive. ever since he
and the rest of the Blue Ridge clans
men salloped out OF Tlllsville, leaving
tchind them judge, prosecutor, a
sheriff, juror, and spectator, all
slain by their volleys.
Clay City, where Edwards was
caught, is northwest from Hillsvile.

wild, rugged section, almost as primi-
tive as the Carroll county wilderness
from which Edwards fled.

only one of the mountain desperadoes
still at large-Sidna Allen, the quick
drawing, straight-shooting leader Of the
Allen clan, whose last message to civ
ilization more than two months ago
was:
You may get me, but you'll have to
bring me into town in wagon; an
some O you-all will be ridin' nice an
still alongside"
Wesley Edwards story hasn't reach
ed here yet. but 1t is believed he part
ed company with his uncle, Sldna AL
len, about April TO- when the search
for the pair in the Blue Ridge noun
tains of Carroll county, Va, and upper
North Carolina began to let up, the de-
tective-scouts thinking 1t a bad job
Probably they made their way out of
the mountains separately.
CLAY CITY, Ky, June H.-Poice
authorities here are in doubt whether
the man arrested yesterday as Wesley
Edwards is the Virginia desperate. He
will be held until an officer arrives from
Hillsville to attempt to identify the sus-
pect.
The prisoner denies he is Edwards and
claims to know nothing of the Carroll
county crime save what he read in
newspapers. He says his name is
Hathley, and that his home is IN West
Virginia.

Not the only One to Paint.

Col. Newell has written his reminis-
cences as an Indian agent and this is
one of the stories he tells:
The Indian commissioner visited the
agency one day and asked to have all
the Indians brought before him. that
he might make them a speech. These
were the Brule Sioux, of whom Spotted
Tail, one of the most illustrious of in
dians, was at the time head chief. In
the course of his address the commis-
sioner asked the Indians to quite paint
ing their faces and bodies. He told
them that none but a savage painted
his face or his body After he lad
finished Spotted Tail arose.
you say we are savages because we
paint our faces and bodies.' he said.
Last spring was in Washington and
went to the presidents inaugural ball.
All the white women at that ball had
their faces painted. do not think we
are savages."
The assembled Indian shrieked with
laughter.

Sam Knew the Real Governor.

The late Senator Taylor was fond
of telling an incident that happended
while he was governor of Tennessee.
Then he was quite irregular about-com-
ing to his meals. At times he forgot
to come to luncheon. That annoyed
Mrs. Taylor very much. One day the
governor came to his midday meal on
the dot. Scarcely had he got into the
house when his negro body servant
came to the door with the information
that there were three men at the cap
itol who wished to see him.
Tell them, SAM" Governor Taylor
said. that l shall be down immed-
lately"
''You will tell them, SAM" said Mrs
Taylor. that the governor will be
there in half an hour"
Inform the gentlemen" said Gov.
ernor Taylor, positively, "that I'll be
there right away"
Sam, the governor will be there in
half an hour" remarked Mrs. Taylor.
Just as positively and firmly.

to end the argument, "you know who

POPULAR SYMBOL OF VALUE
Young Man Evidently Was Lacking In
His Appreciation of the coun-
try's Statesmen.

There is plenty of food for cynical
thoughts in the national capital. as is
shown by the following incident which
happened on Washington street car:
A worldly young man, prone to crit
icise. was gazing at the advertise
ments which decorate the interior OF
the car. One advertised a new kind
of collar for men. The dome of the
capitol was represented encircled by
one of the collars, and on the SEN
ate and house wings of the build
ing were placards giving prices and
sizes. The placard on the senate end
OF the capitol read. Quarter size"
and that on the other end said. Two
for quarter"
The worldly cynical young man
turned to his companion.
That" he remarked, Just about

Carrying 1t Too Far.

excess"
The speaker was r. Marriott
Thompson, the San Francisco scienti-
fic management expert. He continued.
says the New York Tribune:
I'VE scientific managers mustn't go
as far as Hussler went
"Hussler was the proprietor of a
tremendous factory where scientific
management had reduced the mo-
tions of every hand from 800 to II.
Hussler attended a very fashionable
wedding one day, q wedding where
the ceremony was performed by a
bishop assisted by dean and a
canon. and in the most impressive
part of the writ, Hussler, overcome by
his scientific management ideas, rush
ed up to the altar and pushed the
bishop and canon rudely back

LIFE OF CHINESE STUDENTS
Exercise 10 Not Given Attention 1t
Should Receive In Far East Colleges
Much Superstition.

The life Of the Chinese college stu
dent is different in many ways from
that of students In our own universi-
ties. The Chinese student Is not very
strong physically. He has stopped
shoulders and pale complexion. His
life is not wholesome, for he sleeps in
small room which is not ventilated
and he does not eat very wholesome
food.
Exercise Is not given the attention
1t should have in the Chinese college.
The intercollegiate sports include a
100-yard dash. the high jump. pole
vault, 200-yard run and a football
game. In the Imperial university at Pc
kin the teachers are gathered from all
parts of the world The Chinese be-
lieve that topics that are foreign to
them should be taught by foreigners
The students accept practically all of
the foreign teachings except medi-
cine. The medicine which is taught
Is largely Chinese and is made III OF
many superstitions The Chinese be-
lieye that man has nine pulses and
two hearts. They do not believe In
cutting up dead human bodies for the
purpose OF studying their parts, as we
do They would not do this because
they think the dlsembodied spirit
might return to punish them through
torture.

FEW OLD ENGLISH PAsTlMEs
Trucking the Trencher Is Played by

Trucking the trencher-this Is an
old English game. The children sit

all are ready he truckles. or spins
1t. at the same time calling the name
of some one In the ring. The one
named must spring quickly and try to
catch the plate between both hands
before 1t stops spinning. II he sue
ceeds, be takes the place in the cen.
ter, and the first trucker goes in
the ring. If he does not catch the
plate between both hands before II
stops spinning he pays a forfeit and
is counted out
Then there is the play of 'Twos
and threes." The company is grouped
in twos and threes. usually only one
odd one, and the fun consists In not
being caught as the third This keeps
each child looking over her shoulder.
for when two are behind the fore
most must slip away and find another
place to be tapped.
After stand-up game. a rather
funny game. where all the company
may sit. is to have one person chosen
to call and the rest to repeat: One
good fat hen: two ducks; three plump
partridges; four squawkiug wild
geese; five felicitous oysters: six
pairs OF Roman-striped hose: seven
thousand Spanish soldiers; eight
cages of Heliogabulus paroquets: nine

mers viewing Venus in Venice: twelve
European dancing masters teaching
Egyptian mnmmies to dance at Her
cules' wedding. If any one laughs

When Roller Skates Came.

Roller skating. which SO many boys
and girls enjoy. is OF comparatively
recent origin. 1t is said that wheel
ed skates were known as far back
as the eighteenth century. but the
four wheeled skate, as we know 1t to-
day, was the invention Of New York
er, who introduced 1t in 1868. Rapid
improvement was made in wheels and
bearings. The rollers were first made
of turned lockwood. but these were
torn so quickly that substitutes of a
harder composition were invented.
Hard rubber or paper wheels served
for several years. but finally gave way
to iron and steel. which,. with ball
bearings. have made the amusement
very popular with the younger genera
ton.

way: To prince OF the royal blood:

May have the honor of offering your
Royal Highness little beef?" To
duke: "Monseignor, permit me to Of
fer you some beef?" To marquis:
Marquis, may I cut you little beef?"
To a viscount: 'Viscount, have some
beef?" To baron: Baron, some
beef?" To an untitled gentleman:
Some beef?" To his secretary:
"Beef?" When there was person
present even inferior to his secretary,
to him Talleyrand did not say SO much
as word; he simply looked at the
man and pointed to the beef interro-
gatively.
