 The order is as follows:
 ORDER NO. 1673-A
 Cancels Order No 1673.)

 IN RIGHT CHEST CraZed Man Fires at Colonel From CroWd---LynChing
 Is Threatened.
MANUSCRIPT STOPS BULLET
Progressive Candidate Fills Speaking Date Before Going to Hospital
 for Examination.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Milwaukee.-Col. Theodore Roose- welt was shot in the breast by an as- sassin as he entered an automobile in front of the Hotel Gilpatrick to start for an auditorium where he was to speak. He insisted on going to the hall, there quieted the crowd that heard that he had been shot, spoke from S:20 until 9:45 o'clock, though apparently weak, and then was taken to an emergency hospital
 Six physicians examined Colonel Roosevelt's wounds. They found il impossible to determine the depth to which the bullet had penetrated and it was decided to take an X-ray photo. graph.
 The X-ray examination of Colonel Roosevelt's wound showed that the bullet lodged in the chest wall and did not penetrate the lung. The wound is not considered serious.
 The positive statement that Colonel Roosevelt was not injured seriously was made by Dr. Frederick A. Strat- ton of Milwaukee, one of the physi- clans who examined the colonel. Dr. Stratton said that there was no cause for alarm as to the colonels condition
 The wound was a superficial one," said pr. Stratton. '"rhe bullet is i'm bedded in the muscular tissues. All that we did at the hospital was to put on an antiseptic dressing.
 You may say Colonel Roosevelt is not dangerous condition If the bullet had reached his lungs it would have been evident and he would have had coughing spells"
 After questioning the assassin gave his name as John Schrank, of 37O East Tenth street, New York. From notes found in the prisoners clothes it is evident he is demented on the sub, ject of Colonel Roosevelt running for a third term
 Colonel Roosevelt's life probably was saved by manuscript of the speech which he delivered. The bull. let struck the manuscript, which re. tarded it's force as it passed through into the flesh. His assailant was pre- vented from firing a second shot by Albert H. Martin, one of Colonel RooSevelt's two secretaries.
 Colonel Roosevelt had just stepped into an automobile, when the would be- assassin pushed his way through the crowd in the street and fired. Mar tin, who was standing in the car with the colonel, leaped onto the mans shoulders and bore him to the ground.
 Capt. A. o. Girard of Milwaukee, who was on the front seat, jumped al- most at the same time and in an in- stant the man was overpowered and disarmed.
 A wild cry of Lynch him" went up.
 Colonel Roosevelt spoke to the peo- pie and told them to spare the man, who then was taken into the hotel and held there until he was removed to the police station.
 1D spite of the entreaties of phy. sicians, Colonel Roosevelt insisted upcn delivering his address.

HOTEL CUSTOMS ABROAD

A BROAD, where many quaint and curl
Gus hotels, tavernS, and inns OF respect
able antiquity abound, it is natural to find
many odd customs followed to this day by
the patrons of these caravansaries.
There is an inn in a town on the Rhine
wherein, whenever patron is heard to
swear, he must place coin equivalent to the
value of one cent on the bar of the counter.
Until recent years there was most re-
spectacle old inn in Warwickshire, England,
the proprietor of which was accustomed to
invite all his patrons to accompany him and
his wife Sunday mornings to church directly
opposite the inn. On returning from service
each customer was expected to partake of
refreshments offered by the hospitable land
lord free of charge.
Those who put up at one hotel in Edin-
burgh obtain, if they are unacCustomed to
the ways of the place, first hand knowledge
of the Scottish disposition. Patrons of this
hotel must remember to keep their shoes or
boots in their rooms overnight, otherwise
their footgear will be BACKED, regardless of
its original color.
There is public house in Dumfries where
may be seen an old armchair alleged to have
been invariably used by the poet Burns
when he visited the place. All who sit in
this chair are required to treat" all who
may be IN the room at the time.
There is tavern in the south of France
where an almost incredible custom prevails.
Patrons are allowed only one drink. Should
this prove insufficient to quench their thirst,
they must leave the inn and take walk be-
fore they are permitted to have another.
The Austrian proprietor of an inn in Hun
gary evolved a quaint idea for providing
funds for charitable entertainments. A
patron in this inn, seeking refreshment, is
expected to knock on the table or counter
before drinking. Any violation of this rule
is penalized by small fine, and the money
thus obtained goes to provide funds for the
relief and entertainment of the poor of the
village.

CHINA THE LAND OF SILK

CHINA is so well suited by natural con-
ditions for the production of silk that
even the most Anticipated and unscientific
methods cannot deprive her of first rank in
that industry.
In Japan everything connected with the
silk business is scientifically regulated. No
silkworm is permitted to hatch unless the
egg has passed scientific inspection. Null
berry trees are cultivated on scientific prin-
ciples. Similar methods are pursued in
other countries where silk is produced.
But in China these things are almost en-
tirely disregarded, and yet the Flowery
Kingdom keeps near the head in the pro-
duction. Her undeveloped resources in this
industry are SO enormous that it is predicted
that when China adopts modern methods
she will give a new turn to the silk business
of the world

THE LOST ARTS

FROM time to time fresh illustrations are
afforded as to the ancients ingenuity
with special reference to what are termed the
lost arts
Recently it has been shown that the old
Peruvians must have understood the laws of
atmospheric pressure in order to construct
the curious jars and vases they left One of
these pieces of pottery was ornamented with
the figures of two monkeys, and when water
was poured into or out of the vessel sounds
like the screeching of monkeys were heard.
Another similar vessel has the figure of bird
that uttered appropriate notes; another
was ornamented with cat that mewed;
and another with snakes that Kissed. An
ingenious water jar bore the form of an aged
woman on whose cheeks tears were seen to
trickle, while sobs were heard when water
was poured from the jar
