Americans Are Protected,

Washington, Nov. 10.-All necessary
precautions for the protection of Amer
leans in the vicinity Of Constantinople
have been taken by members Of the
diplomatic corps there, according to
dispatches from Ambassador Rockbill
to the state department. The ambas-
sador stated that while no serious trou-
BILE was feared at present, the repre-
sentatives Of the European govern
ments thought it best to land men from
the international feet before CONSTANT
nople for the protection Of the embas-
sizes and legations.
Six men from the United States gun
boat Scorpion, station ship at Constan-
tinople, were included in the landing
parties. The foreign naval command
ers have made all arrangements, Am
bassador Rockhill stated, for the pro-
lection of foreign residents on both
sides of the Bosporus from San Ste
fano to Buyakdure. Thorough meas
ures for the protection Of the city have
also been adopted, and no uneasiness Is
warranted, it Is now believed.
The United States government has
received from the representatives of
the powers repeated assurances that
Americans will be fully provided for
by them In case of foreigners being
endangered.

BABIES UNDER THE SPOUT.
In Simla They Water the Youngsters
to Keep Them Quiet.

W NoCP ttStf ~hfS
The native mo hers In the neighbor-
hood Of Simla, in India, have a curious
practice Of putting their babies heads
under a spout of water in order to
send the youngsters to sleep and to
keep them quiet. When a new cart
road was made some years ago In the
locality mentioned there was a hating
place, where rows of such children
might be seen in a grove close to the
road.
The water of a hill spring was so
adjusted as to furnish a series of lit
tie spouts, each about the thickness
of ones little finger. Opposite each
spout was a kind of earth pillow and
a little trough to carry away the wa
ter. Each child was so laid that one
of the water spouts played on the top
Of its head, and the water then ran off
Into the trough.
An English Official testifies that the
process was most successful. There
never were such quiet aud untrouble-
some babies as those under the spouts.
The people were unanimous In assert
ing that the water did the children no
harm, but that, on the contrary, 1t
benefited and i~nvigorated them. In
fact, they seemed to think that a child
not subjected to this process must
grow Up soft Drained and Of little &C
count.-Harper's Weekly.

GIBSON PICKS
HIS own JURY
One Lawyer Threatens to
Withdraw from Defense.

Goshen. n. r. nov. ia serious
ciasir Urtwpen- Burton w. Gibson. the
law yeF accalSed-of numbering his client,
MIS-. Rose Menschik Szabo, for her S10,-
600 estate. and his counsel as to who
shall dominate In matters causing diff
ference Of opinion has resulted from
the frst-day OF the trial spent in select
ing Il jury. Robert II. Elder says that
FIVE of the jurors were selected against
his better judgment by Gibson because
when it comes down to a matter of a
verdict of guilty the jurors are tlS
opes to "hand out the DOPE and Glib
son is the one to suffer.
Charles Colder, one of Gibson's
lawyers, says Gibson has "either a fool
for a client or a fool for a lawyer. as
you like to look at it," and intimates
that circumstance might arise which
would cause his withdrawal. AS for
Gibson, he gleefully said as he sat on
the cot in his cell. his wife by his side:
ave had my way the first day In the
selection of the jury. l am satisfied.
We have a fine body of men"
Gibson declared that his counsel WAS
certain that 1t would not be necessary
for him to take the stand.
"If / think 1t advisable" he added, Il
shall certainly go on" Gibson admit
ted dissenting with his counsel, saying:
ave were scrapping all day. Didn't
you hear us?".
Mr.. Elder said that five men on the
Jury were chosen by Gibson. Later he
said there was 10 juror accepted whom
be did not approve OF.
At one point during the examination
Elder told Gibson to keep still" so
loudly that he. was heard by lawyers
Tor the prosecution.
Charles Colder examined only one
falesman during yesterday. When ask
ed why this was, he declared that he
was not a lawyer to stand dictation by
a client as to who should go on the
Jury, and in this connection he revised
the adage about q man having a fool
for a client when he acts as his own
lawyer.

earl of Chesterfield, to Lady Russell:

port that / fain would know the tguth

no one but yourself can rightly Inform
me, for If you intend to use me favora-
bly, and do think l am in love with
you I most certainly am so, but If you
intend to receive me coldly and do not
believe that I am In love I also am
sure that l am not. Therefore let me
entreat you to put me out of a doubt

Armenian,s Daring Act.

Niagara Falls, N. Y-One OF the
most daring rescues In the history Of
Niagara Falls was effected by Aran
Kevorkian, an Armenian, who waded
out into the rapids a short distance
have the falls and pulled to shore with
a pike pole the unconscious form of
Henry J.. Smith, SO years old, of Buff
falo. Kevorkian was assisted by Da-
vi1 Gordon and Park Constable Thorn
as Harrington, who formed a human
chain anchoring the Armenian to the
shore and enabling him to resist the
current, which was especially strong
on account of the high water. Smith
was walking along the narrow path
skirting the river about 300 feet above
the falls, when he missed his footing
and fell into the stream. He soon be.
came exhausted in his efforts to reach
shore, and was floating with his head
under water when caught by Kevor
khan with his pole, less than 100 feet
above the brink. Smith was soon re-
stored to consciousness, apparently
none the worse for his experience.
