HIS LEG IS CRUSHED,
BUT 1T is WOODEN
Special to The Journal.


Philadelphia, Pa. August 24.-In
his haste to get ashore, James
Jerome Jeffries, a plumber OF 1870
White street, Camden, stepped be-
tween the dock and the deck OF q
Reading Railway ferry at the Chestnut
street wharf last night, and his leg was
crushed. 1t was wooden leg. and
Jeffries had to borrow a board to use
as a crutch to get back home.
Jeffries wore one Of the old-fash-f
toned legs that strap on at the knee.
When the ferryboat locked, he started
ashore ahead Of the crowd. and the
false limb slipped through the crack
between the boat and the wharf. Be-
fore Jeffries could catch his balance
the ferry jammed into the dock, and
his limb was crumbled. Most OF 1t
fell into the river. Fellow passengers
helped him to the waiting room.
That's the third leg I've lost" he
said, two wooden ones and real one,
but I've got another home, so 1t don't
make so much difference

Wireless Messages
Indeed.

Ali earthly things-even the wizard
Of wireless telegraphy-have their day
and pass from public attention. In
ventions follow each other so rapidly
that the inventor who can hold the
worlds eye full month is fortunate.
Marconi with his wireless telegraphy
is already eclipsed by an inventor
named Hills, who dispenses with all
electrical apparatus.
A correspondent who has studied the
methods OF Mr.. Hills says:
1.-THE telepathist stands still. takes
& hitch In his trousers, fixes his mind
intently on the message he wishes to
communicate and the person to whom
he wishes to communicate It, and
prestoi tits done; the message has
winged It's way through space, hun
dreds or thousands of miles Of it, per-
haps, and safely lodged in the brain
Of the person for whom it was intend
ed"
There is one defect IN this telepathy
system. There seems no opening for
business, There is no point between
the sender of message and the re-
ceiver at which the small boy appears
with his bill for transmission. The
inventors who have not made an open
ing for business have not, as a rule,
made a lasting impression on the pub
lie mind. Sir Isaac Newton staggered
the scientific world of that period with
his discovery Of the real reason why
apples fall to the ground when the
wind blows. but 1t took the world a
long time to put faith in the existence
of law which did not enable the dis
coverer to profit by his discovery.
y ITelepathy may in time be ranked as
a science, but from the present point
of view 1t seems intangible. There
win be dificulty in Identifying the
minds which are. or which think they
are In communication with each other
and in verifying the messages prompt
Iy enough to make them Of practical
value

Second Term
Always Unfortunate.

The remark was recently made that
United States added anything to his
reputation or accomplished anything
Of moment for the country during his
second term.
With the exception of the second
term Of Jefferson, this is perhaps true.
The services of Washington in the
formative period of the government
are, Of course. incalculable and in
valuable, yet chickering's and dissen-
ton arose during the second term OF
the Father Of His Country. that Jared
the young republic to its very corner
stones. Certain friends Of Washington
were accused of trying to make him
king and whether this charge was
baseless or not, It created much Bit
terness. Neither. Madison, Monroe
nor Jackson. added anything to their
greatness during their second term.
The scandal that grew out OF Grants
second term would have engulfed and
ruined him, had he not have been the
popular military idol he was and any
student Of history can see that had
Grover Cleveland been satisfied with a
single term, he would have gone down
in history as a real statesman.
The plank in the Democratic plat
form limiting the president to a sin
gle term, is wise one and woodrow
Wilson stands committed to that prin-
cipIe.

rats would drive US out, but 1t is three

Turning the
Tables.

If what is sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander. then the libel
suit instituted by London newspaper
against a politician has good founda-
hon.
The politician has pronounced an IN
terview printed in that paper "a base
less fabrication" and the paper sues
under the libel laws for damages.
It is an interesting issue which Is
raised In this unusual suit. Ordinarily
a newspaper submits to libel without
thought Of the remedy the law pro
vides
Sometimes. doubtless. intervtewers
DO fabricate; but on. the other hand,
public men often get rid of inconven-
lent criticism by denying genuine in
terviews.
AS a rule a newspaper has little
motive for misstatement and none for
malicious fslsehood. Accuracy and
absolute fairness are the highest aims
of the best newspaper men everywhere
To attain these ends much falsehood
and prejudice must often be sifted out
Of statements made by public men
Indeed. it Is quite safe to say that
public men as q rule owe more &c
newspaper men for their tact In sup
pressing foolish and hurtful state
rnents than they can charge against
them for publishing ungenuine ones.
It is by no means uncommon fol
public men to denounce as 'fabrica-
tons" genuine interviews that prove tt
be unpopClar. without thought Of the
injustice to the newspaper. In sucs
cases the faHsehood. the libel and tn,
injury are deliberate.
If libel laws do not apply to suci
cases as this they should be ripped on
of the statutes.

Oh, the cannibal queen

Who must live in state Of content.
She is free from the wiles
OF the fashions and styles
And doesn't depend on some gent
OF the tight fashioned way
Who has plenty to say
On the subject of money that's spent.
If some dame of her set
Happens but to forget
And says catty things Of Her Nibs
She can chop off the head
OF the lady instead
OF hearing the gossipy fibs.
She can always collect
Quite lot of respect
That most men don't hand to their
ribs
She can wear what she likes
When she goes on her hikes
And no one dares utter a word.
Though her gown is passe
Or is gaudy and gay,
And her hat a thing quite absurd,
They have got to admit
There is no doubt of 1t,
That their monarch is surely a bird.
Straight front things she eschews
And she wears no small shoes
And no dresses too tight to be seen.
She does not have to wear
Seven bushels of hair
With some old stocking rat in be-
tween.
We must really confess,
In the matter Of dress,
There's some class to the cannibal
queen.
