j. Sterling Morton of Chicago, who
was recently ffllcted with typhoid,
attributes his recovery. to Thought
waves.' Thought waves are de-
scribed as "the good wishes of
friends which are directed toward
those who are suffering." If there is
any truth in this then all of US might
accomplish much good by concentrate
ing our mind on those who are sick
and wishing them we'll. But, on the
other hand, by the same rule OF
reasoning, would it not be possible
for evil-disposed persons to direct bad
wishes toward others and thus harm
them?

It is no wonder that the price OF
pork is advancing when boards OF
health prohibit the keeping of pigs
within cities limits. Take the good
old Quaker city of Philadelphia, for
instance. Last week it's new health
board ordered the owners of $500
hogs to remove them from their COM
Portable stys in back yards to places
outside the municipality. The owners
were, of course, compelled to kill
them. If this high-handedness on the
part of boards of health continues
there is bound to be a pork famine!

A. W. WOodcock Honored,

In his appeal for votes to the people
of Minnesota Rooevelt lauds himself
and his administrative acts to the
skies while he denounces Taft in the
bitterest terms. He charges, in sub
stance, that Taft is a tool of the inter.

nomination lies in securing delegates
who will misrepresent the will of the
people-delegates that he cannot get
in the primary states, but only in

Auto Stolen but Recovered.

I Auto Stolen but Recovered.
That they are liable to steal almost
anything in the wicked city of Mime
apolis was demonstrated last Sunday,
when S. ?. Skahen's touring car was
purloined in broad daylight on one of
the principal thoroughfares. Here is
the story:
Mr.. Skahen and Herbert thinner
man OF Princeton, accompanied by
Miss Welch and Miss O'Malley, left
their automobile outside of the
Rogers cafe on Fourth street, Mime
apolis, while they partook of
luncheon. They had just returned
from church and the time was some
where near l O'Clock p. ~. Before
entering the cafe Mr.. Skahen took the
precaution to lock the switch and
place the key in his pocket. The
party remained in the cafe about an
hour and upon returning to the street
found that the car had disappeared.
The police authorities we're notified
and three detectives sent out to hunt
for the car, but it was not until Mon
day morning that it was discovered.
1t had been abandoned on Nineteenth
avenue S., between Fifth and Sixth
streets and was brought back by the
police.
Upon making an examination of the
machine it was found that tire had
been punctured and replaced with a
new one from the rack, and that the
storage battery had been carried
away as we'll as two new cravenettes
belonging to Messrs. Skahen and
Zimmerman. Two coats which the
ladies left in the car we're not taken.
The gasoline tank had been refilled
by the thieves and the speedometer
indicated that the machine had
travelled 100 miles during the time of
it's disappearance.
It is evident that the thieves we're
experts at the business, for it was
necessary for them to have KEY
that would fit that particular switch
lock-they probably carried a dozen
different kinds in their pockets. De-
tectives are in hopes of finding the
culprits by means of the cravenettes
which were carried off, but this is par
ticularly doubtful.
Mr.. Skahen, who came up from
Minneapolis with the car on Tuesday,
says that the machine always looked
good to him, but never quite so good
as when he deserted a number of
policemen pushing it up Nicollet ave.
He is thankful, indeed, that he re-
covered it.
