is MOST COMMON OF FAULTS
Envy and Jealousy Arc Passions That
Indicate Lack Of Control
and Weakness.

What common faults are these
envy and jealousy-yet how profit
less and foolish. Whether one envies
natural endowment or an attain
ment achieved by dint of human eff
fort, it is the grossest of follies. No
person is entirely unendowed by ma
ture, and in the disposition of provi-
dental gifts the element of compen-
sation counts for something; surely
the distribution is not all onesided.
The envious man may have quail
ties which the envied lacks, but likes.
What pity, instead of wasting time
coveting anothers possessions, he
does not take time to appreciate his
own talents. How much happier
and better off he and the world
would be. As for envy, jealousy of
acquired powers, it would be much
more sensible and profitable to set
about matching wits for wits in de-
termination to achieve instead of
covet.
No one is envious or jealous of
anything or anybody beneath him; it
is always of superior. Envy and
jealousy, therefore, are signs and
self-confessions of weakness. In
wardly or outwardly the admission
is made of deficiency in possession
or acquisition. This is a passion
and, like any other passion, indi-
Gates a lack of self-control, weak
ness.

BALF0UR AS ART ENTHUSIAST
Golf and Philosophy Have Not Mo-
nopoIlxed Spare Time Of Eng
Iish Statesman.

Golf and philosophy have not mo-
nopolized the time Mr.. Balfour could
spare from politics. He has always
followed the art of music with en-
thusiasm and regularity. While ap-
preciating the new school, as repre-
sented by Wagner, Tschaikowsky
and others, the right honorable gen.
tleman's inclinations are more in IA
vor of such old masters as Bach and
Handel, particularly the latter. He
is particularly interested in the less
familiar works of the composer Of
the Messiah" and on one occasion
made special journey to Edinburgh
to hear a revival of "Athaliah," and
he once was practically financially
responsible for a London perfor-
nance Of "Belshazzar's Feast He
possesses a fine collection Of Han
del's works, and was a member of
the committee Of the Handel Society
for the first ten years of its exist
ence, and the early rehearsals Of the
society were held in his house, 4
Carlton Gardens. Mr.. Balfour is
also known as a worshiper at the
shrine of Wagner at Bayreuth, and
was regular subscriber to the Rich
ter concerts from their inception.

CONVICT INvENTs WAY OUT
Sheriff Of County In West Still Wait
ing for Return Of Prisoner
With Patent.

That all people, even hard-hearted
jailers, are interested in inventors
and inventions is shown by the fol-
lowing story:
Some years ago a Washington
patent attorney was called on by q
man from the west who had an i'm
provement in some refrigerating APP
paratus and prepared and filed the
application for patent, the inventor
leaving ostensibly for home.
A few days later the attorney re-
ceiyed a telegram from the sheriff
of the inventors home county, ask
ing whether he was in Washington,
and replied that he had been but had
left for home, and later received
from the sheriff ar explanatory let
ter to the effect that the inventor had
been committed to jail for some Of
Tense and while in the sheriff's Gus
tody had developed the invention in
which the sheriff had taken an inter-
est; that he had, on his own respon-
sibility, released the prisoner tenn
porarily, SO he could go to Washing
ton to secure the patent and then
return to serve the balance of his
term.
So far as known, the sheriff is
still waiting his return.-Scientifc

DOG SHOWS GREAT CUNNING
How He Defeats Masters Attempt to
Cure Him Of Chasing Pass.
Ing Vehicles.

The following is an authenticated
instance of great cunning in a dog.
This animal was in the habit of
rushing out from his owners house
and attacking passing vehicles. The
owner, thinking to cure him, at
tached small piece of wood by q
chain to the dogs collar. This de-
vice served admirably, for no sooner
would the dog start in pursuit than
the clog would check his speed, roll
ing him over. The dog reflected
upon the situation, which evidently
gave him much perplexity for some
time. Now, if this dog did not pos
sess reasoning powers he eventually
evinced something very much like
them, for he overcame the difficulty,
and, to the surprise Of all in the
neighhorhood, he was soon at his old
tricks.
This IS how he managed it: No
longer did he attempt to drag the
clog on the ground, permitting it to
check and upset him; but before
starting he would catch it up in his
mouth, r''n before the passing horse,
drop the clog and begin the attack.
When distanccd he would again
seize the clog in his mouth and re-
sumo his position ahead, thus becom-
ing as great pest as ever. Even
on his ordinary goings about he was
seen carrying his clog in his mouth
instead OF letting it drag on the
ground between his legs.

DESIRE TO MAKE NOISE.

DR.. Theodore Leasing, president
Of the anti-noise association at Han.
over, Germany, in lecture on the
psychology of noise, recently deliv.
cred in that city, said that the de-
isire to make noise could never be
conquered. ut manifests itself moi
only in the yelling of teamsters and
the whistling of hackmen, but in
Ineedlessly energetic welding Of
noise-making implements of trade, y

sanity brought it down upon the

WHO'LL Be HERO?
A World Series FavOrite Must
Develop Soon.
Giants May Find a "HOme
Run" Baker in Ranks.

New York. Oct. S.-Speculation as to
which of the Boston or New York play
ers will come through as the hero of
the worlds series formed an interesting
topic among the fans, big and little,
who gathered here today. Every post
season set of games in the past has had
it's star. In 1903 it was Dineen, a pitch
eT of the Boston Americans, and now
an umpire of the American League, who
defeated the Pittsburgs three times.
Mathewson was the man of the hour in
1905. George Robe, a practically I'M
known player made two timely triples
in 1906, enabling the Chicago Americans
to defeat the Chicago Nationals.
Johnnie King ofthe Chicago Nationals,
broke up the Detroit hit and run COM
bination in 1907, while Frank Chance in
1908 made seventeen hits in twenty
times at bat. Adams of Pittsburg team
beat Detroit three times in 1909 while
Eddie Collins was the big star in 1910
and Franklin Baker last season.
The New York team has some home
run hitters who may do the Baker act
in the coming series. They have made
IS home runs this year and moreover
they have done their best batting
against the best pitchers.

FOUR PRISONERS FLEE
Gate at Fort Leavenworth Guard
House Left Open.

Leavenworth, Kan, Oct. S.-Four
prisoners escaped from the guard
house at Fort Leavenworth Monday as
the result of a gate being left open
by a sentry. No other prisoners at
tempted to escape, although there was
no guard duty at the gate at the time.
The entire garrison was called out to
hunt for the escaped men, and mount
ed troopers secured the country for
miles around the fort. At a late hour
last night the men were still at large
and it is believed that they succeed
ed in catching a freight train for
Kansas City or Atchison. The police
department of both cities were no
titled.
Second Lieutenant H. L. TwaddIe
and Second Lieutenant Percy Deshon,
who were officers of the guard when
the prisoners escaped, were placed
under arrest, pending an investigation
by a board of inquiry, which will be
appointed tomorrow by Colonel Dan
iel German, post commandant.

Hutchinson, Kan, Oct. S.-Hutchin-
son is being greatly injured by the
custom now in vogue of misnaming
the city streets and avenues. This is
the declaration made by scores of per-
sons within the past week, and it is
the expression gained from every
stranger who enters the city and is
forced to hunt his way about the city
1t is declared there is no, reasonable
excuse for the custom, for the calling
of West Seventeenth street Seven
teenth West is bad grammar, mis-
leading and incorrect. This makes
Seventeenth" the adjective and the
noun West which of course makes
the name of the street West street.
Therefore, Hutchinson has a whole
row of West streets, another row of
East streets, and yet they are all the
same streets.

A TONIC LAXATIVE
Pe-ru-na, an Up-to-Date Family Medicine That
Should Be In Every Home

tive the great majority of cases of
sickness would be prevented.
Peruna is a remedy that should be
preventive to disease is the thing L
wish chiefly to emphasize.
A slight condition of constipation
may lead to serious sluggishness OF
the bowels, biliousness, re-absorption
of poisonous material and finally sick
ness. Or apathy of the stomach in
which the food is not relished, may
gradually lead to atomic dyspepsia or
to toe acquisition of some acute dis
ease. For either one of these condi-
lions a few doses of the tonic laxa-
tive Peruna would set matters right.
This is why the remedy should al
ways be kept handy by.
When once the value of Peruna as
a household remedy is understood no
homo would be without it. Cathar-
tics, pills and powders would be dis
carded Irritating tonicS would be no
longer taken. Alcoholic drinks would
have no place. With a few doses of
Peruna a vigorous appetite is pro-
Iuced and if there be any sluggish
ness of the bowels their function IS
gradually restored
Most laxatives are weakening in
their effect. A tonic laxative guards
against this weakening effect. Until
right living has become so thorough
iy established that all medicines are
superf1uous, Peruna will be needed. 1t
is exactly the remedy that meets nu-
merous necessities of the household.
Sold at all drug stores
Mr. John B. Perkins, % Whiting
street, Plymouth, Mass, writes: Il
think Peruna is number one med1-
cine. I was troubled with catarrh
and bowel complaint. I tried several
doctors but could only find tempo
rary relief. I took Peruna and am
glad to say that it cured my catarrh
and corrected my bowels"
