In St. Louis last month there was held the annual gathering Of life insurance men, the representa- tive general agents of strong com pany from all over the United States, there being present no less than y-five gentlemen from as many different commonweaths. After the business was all over and they were about to separate for another year, a bunch of them were engaged in social conversation at one of the hotels, and the talk drifted upon politics. The Arizona representative, who had taken no part, sat taking in all the remarks of the others, when one turned to him and said;

CAUSES OF GOLD BLAckENINo.
Result Of Test by Chemist Shows Why
This Condition Exists.

In a series of experiments recently
made it has been found that under
certain conditions, gold when worn in
contact or close to the skin is apt to
produce blackening. This condition
was found to be true in 14-karat, 49,
karat and pure gold. In fact, it is
most apparent in pure gold and is not
due to any particular properties of the
gold, but rather is the result of chem
ical changes in the body.
While it is true that an excess OF
sulphur in the air, and deposited on
the skin, or an excess of sulphur in
the body, will produce blackening OF
the skin under gold rings, the cause
of the great majority of blackening OF
the fingers is the oil of the skin, or
the oil in ointments, such as cold
cream, etc. or where grease or SOAP
is not thoroughly washed off. Oil con
tains more or less oleic acid, which
with friction and in contact with gold,
produces a chemical deposit of oleate
of gold, which is deposited in minute
quantities upon the surface of the skin,
and which is black in color. Rings
which are loose will create this con-
dition quicker than those that are
tight
If anyone desires simple expert
ment. take q drop of oil, place it upon
a small piece of cotton and rub vigor-
ously any gold surface. The oleate of
gold is deposited and the blackenins
is Immediately dlscernible.

CADET PERRIN HON0REO
by FELLOW STUDENTS
Presented Fine Gold Watch for His
Efforts In Finding Body Of Cadet
Hunter, Drowned.

Saturday night Harvey Perrin of San
Antonio student OF A. & NJ. College,
was presented with watch by the
corps of cadets of the college.
1t is not often that one young man
| in a student body of thousand is
singled out for such marked recosni-
ton by all of his fellow students. but
there is in this incident much of senti-
ment and human interest that i'm.
presses everyone with the worthiness
that attaches to this gift.
Cadet Perrin came to the college
from San Antonio to learn architec-
ture. 1t was necessary for him to be
self-supporting while he pursued his
studies and he has spent a part OF
each year doing building work. He has
had charge of several building jobs
on the campus, his ability in that line
being such that Architect f, Il. Gle
secke has given him heavy RESPONSE
bilities During last summer Cadet
Perrin had entire charge of the con-
struction of home which was erected
on the campus by Dean Charles Pur-
year. Working with Mr.. Perrin on that
contract was Norman Samuel Hunter
of San Angelo. They became rather
good friends as fellow workmen and
as fellow students at the college, and
when young Hunter was drowned in
the Brazos river the last of March his
death was personal sorrow to Perrin.
During the days following the drown
, ing Mr.. Perrin was afithful watcher
and searcher along the meanderings
! of the Brazos He let his class work
go. and every day he spent hours on
the river trying to find the body of the
| lost cadet. His faithfulness was known
to everyone, and finally when after
elRnt DAYS ne was rev dIutu "! ihuihb
the body, everyone at the college felt
that no man had ever done a duty
more nobly The students Of the col
lege were impressed with it and a
movement at once started in the corps
of cadets to present him with watch.
Every boy in the corps contributed.
about a dime each being given so as
to make it popular movement with
everyone. Saturday night the corps
assembled in the chapel, and Cadet
Perrin was called forward President
Miner made the presentation speech,
and expressed the admiration of the
students for what he had done. The
president said some things that were
highly complimentary to Cadet Perrin,
and every one was applauded by the
cadets of the college. The watch was
suitably engraved.

Tho Canny Grocer.

The canny grocer sized up his Gus
toner,
She had ordered six strictly fresn
eggs.
He took down the paper bag and go
ing to the basket, picked them out.
Twisting the top of the bag together
he handed it to the woman, who paid
him and went away,
The canny grocer smiled.
He had given the women seven eggs
when she ordered but six.
He knew that when she reached
home and found she had seven Instead
of six eggs she would be so delighted
with the superstition that she had over
reached him that she would entirely
disregard the fact that six of the eggs
were storage and one was dubious.
For the grocer understood human ma
ture.
And he was canny.-Cleveland Plain

of the highway commissioner to do

The automobile act provides that re-

shall be used for highway improve

counting on this money for the pres
ent season, but the auditor general
takes the position that the legislature
must appropriate this money for the
specific purpose under the act Of 1909,
prohibiting expenditure of unappropri-

tanned the money will not be available
for road building until next year.

ROOSEVELT SAYS |.
TAFT IS MIGRATE

"CroOkedest Kind of a Deal"
HE ALSO HINTS AT A BOLT
Torrent Of Hot Observation-Disclosures
"Untruths," "DisIoyalty to Every
Canon Of Decency and Fair Deal
ing" and Yielding to Bosses"

Worcester, Mass.-Merciless denun-
citation of President Taft was Colonel
Roosevelt's reply to the Presidents at
tack on him. Some of Colonel Roose-
velt's assertions were:
That President Taft had not given
the people of the country a square
deal" but that, owing to quality OF
feebleness," he had yielded to the
bosses and the great privileged inter-
ests."
That one part of the Presidents at
tack upon him was "the crookedest
kind of deal and deliberate mis-
representation"
That the President has not merely
in thought, word and deed been dis
loyal to every canon of ordinary de-
cency and fair dealing such as should
obtain even in dealing with a mans
bitterest opponents"
That the Presidents statement re-
garding the influence of Federal Office
holders in the campaign was mot only
an untruth but 1t is an absurd un-
truth"
That Mr.. Taft convicted himself Of
insincerHy when he signed the Payne
Aldrich Tariff bill.
That in speaking of Col Roosevelt's
position in regard to the trust problem
President Taft lis himself guilty of
crooked deal"
That the action of the administra.
ton in not appealing the Circuit Court
order in the Tobacco case to the Su-
preme Court was incompatible with
the theory that the administration was
acting in good faith"
Col. Roosevelt took up President
Taft's attack upon him point by point.
flaying the President in one sentence
after another.
Summing up his attitude Of opposi.
tion to the President, the colonel snap
ped out these sentences:
81 do not believe he has given the
people square deal. believe he has
yielded to bosses and to the great
privileged interests. | think he has
done this through feebleness, not
though viciousness. | am sincerely
sorry for him and only regret that he
did not have the strength of character
to make good his promises to the AM
erican people"
On the way TO Worcester Colonel
Roosevelt spoke from the rear platform
of his train where stops were made,
and his most significant statement
was in Willimantic Conn, where he
again made the threat that should his
delegates be unseated by the National
Committee he would become an inde-
pendent candidate for President.

THAW HEARING
SET FOR MAY c
Another Attempt to Free Motor.
iOus Slayer
COUNSEL SAY NOT INSANE
Out Of Matteawan for First Time in
Three Years-Willing to Talk
but Warned to Be
Silent.

New Rochelle, N. Y.-Harry X.
Thaw, slayer of Stanford White, ap.
peared Saturday before Justice
Keegh in chambers in another effort
to be freed from Matteawan, where he
has been confined for more than fouT
years. The appearance was on
writ of habeas corpus. The hear.
ing was brief. Clarence j. Shearn,
Thaw's attorney stated that Thaw
was not insane and that his release
would not be a public menace. 1t
was agreed among counsel in the case
that the matter should wait the jus.
tees convenience and the case ac.
cordngly was set for May 6 at White
Pldns.
1t was the first time in three years
that Thaw had been out of the con.
fines or Matteawan. He has taken
on considerable weight and his full
cheeks seem to diminish the promi.
nence OF his eyes. Despite his glass.
es his eyes still seemed remarkably
bright.
When he reached the court room
he was greeted by his mother, his
sister, Alice, formerly the Countess
of Yarmouth, and Roger O'Mara OF
Pittsburgh.
When the adjournment was taken
Thaw held sort of a leevee. He
declared that he was feeling fine and
seemed particularly glad to be in the
open again.
How much do you weight now
some one asked
From 1856 to 1S7," he replied. He
seemed willing to talk lot, but Mr..
Shearn said he thought it would not
be well for him to say much at this
time.
The hearing over, Thaw was taken
back to Matteawan.

Conscientious.

. An editor of a New York magazine
recently received a story of which
the scene was laid in the state OF
Washington. He wished to have the
story Illustrated, and in order to OBJ.
tain the best local detail he sent the
manuscript to young artist out in
Washington. Before doing so, how
ever, he scrawled hastily across the
top of the first page the address OF
the writer, which did not otherwise
appear on the manuscript. 1t was
Shelton, Wash" With the story the
editor sent a letter asking the artist
to make wash drawing of a certain
effective scene and forward 1t as soon
as possible. By return mail the ed.
itor received an anxious reply from
the youthful artist, saying: 81 note
that you wish me to use Shelton
wash. | do not know of any such
wash, nor do any of the dealers out
here. If you can send me a tube
shall be glad to make the drawing"

TOO MUCH WHISKY ON MARKET.
Kentucky Distillers Decide to curtail
Output of Bourbon.

Louisville, Ky.-Over-production OF
Kentucky whisky similar to that dur
ing the four years from 1890 to 1898,
inclusive which was followed by sew
eral years of depression, is feared by
local distillers, who have agreed that
curtailment in the output is impera-
tive. The trade has produced about
90,OO0,0OO gallons in the last two
years, more than 2O,0OO,OOO in excess
of the demand.
Distillers say a tremendous impe
tus was given the production of Ken
lucky bourbon by the pure food rul.
ings as to what constitutes real
whisky, and many increased the ca
pacity of their plants in anticipation
OF a big demand The overthrow of
DR.. Wileys conclusions later cut into
the consumption of ageing whisky.
Jobbers all over the country, they say
practically have ceased buying any
thing younger than 1905, and when
they buy goods of older inspection
the purchases are altogether for i'm
mediate wants.
