to the conclusion infantile paralysis is
not contagious, says an editorial IN
the Chicago Inter-0cean.'
There has been considerable con-
troversy among physicians upon this
subject and it is hardly probable that
the announcement of the eminent
Harvard men will settle the question
Hare in Chicago, however, tests made
in several hospitals would indicate
that the conclusion is correct, as no
cortapion has been noted where cases
of the disease were placed in the
same hospital wards with sufferers
from other ailments.
If it be true that this disease Is not
transmitted by contact or carried oy
third persons. which constitutes con-
tagion in the common sense, but Is
only infectious, that is, communicated
directly by a micro-organism, then a
| source of much fear will be removed

paralysis occur. -

In every dimpling drop l see
Wild flowers on the hills.
a cloud of gray engulfs the day
And Overwhelms the town.
1t isn't raining rain to me,
It's raining roses down.
1t isn't raining rain to me,
But fields of clover bloom,
Where any buccaneering bee
May find bed and loom.
a health then to the happy
A fig to him who frets.
1t isn't raining rain to me,
It's raining violets.

people and their ways and he has not
caught the lesson of the ages or he
would refrain from such speeches as
the one delivered Saturday. He spoke
in the same spirit as did the theolo
gians of 1916 who brought Galileo to
the bar and denounced him for his
views of the solar system.
The trouble with W.ckersham is
that he argues from theory rather
than fact He has the Hamiltonian
idea that the people cannot be trust
ed. Their powers must be curbed and
guarded at every turn or they will
run wild and wreck society. Instead
of being over radical. the people as
whole are only too conservative.
They move too slowly not too swiftly.
The radicalism of the people need not
be feared. The welfare of the coun-
try is much better served when power
rests with the people than when it
rests with political bosses who get
their coaching from men who repre-
sent special interests that profit at
the expense of the people as whole.

Many people will be astounded to
learn that the New York Stock EX-
change is not an in
strictly scorporated organiza-
Social Club uOn and is there
therefore free from
the restraints that are thrown about
corporate bodies. Though upon the
floors of the Exchange thousands of
millions of property changes hands
and though this gambling often caus-
es an enormous amount of the nations
money to become locked up and kept
from more legitimate business, the
Stock Exchange is but social club.
Members of the Exchange who do
wrong cannot be punished as they
could were the organization incorpor-
ated. Nor are they subject to pub
licity such as may be forced upon a
corporation These things are being
shown up in connection with the mon
ey trust investigation now on.

MISTOOK CARNIVAL
 BAND FOR KRYL'S
Man Delivers Impromptu Speech to RallyhOO Band Under Impression
 That it Was kryPs Band.

Thinking that he was addressing the great bandmaster, Bohumir Kryl, and his musicians, a we'll known member of the local painters union Friday night stepped into the midst of the circle of the carnival band furn- ishing the music for the shows at the Jefferson County Fair this week, and apologized profusely for the lack of interest shown by Pine Bluffians and the small attendance at the concert the previous night. To make the scene more impressive the speaker took off his hat. He complimented the band men for the "swet music they had played and said he hoped they would have a full house if they returned to Pine Bluff.
 Members of the carnival band for a moment though the man was kidding them'' but his earnest words soon convinced them that he really thought he was talking to Kryls aggregation, and, in accord with his grave humor, the leader thanked him and complied with his request to play Dixie
 Kryls band played concert Thurs day night to a very small crowd a the Elks Theater

Problem in Mathematlcs-

There is a certain instructor in mathematics in a Washington institu- tion who is beginning to wonder whether his fiVe-year-old son is go- ing to inherit his mathematical tenn perament On one occasion the father and mother of this younger, while, visiting a resort near the capital, were watching the boys and girls swing the circle on a merry -go-round. The father commented upon the sight pre- sented by one small-sized youngster astride a huge lion. and, as he did SO. noticed a serious look on the face of his own offspring, who was standing beside him. why such a solemn ex- pression, Tom?" asked the father. "I was just wondering" said Tom, who had had one ride and, having a ticket for another, wished to use 1t to the best advantage, whether would get a longer ride than had on the horse in the inside circle if rode on one of the lions on the outside row.

whether he was deranged by thirst and hardships and fell and injured himself, or as he believed, he was set upon by Indians. When ultimately reaching the settlements he was bruised and bewildered but still car ried the wondrous specimens, rich with gold.
 Breyfogle made numerous returns to the locality of his find, but could never again locate the coveted spot In protracted efforts to find these treasures he enlisted the aid or several of his friends who were prom inent frontiersmen of those days, but all to no avail.
 Lure of "The Lost Gun-sisht"
 At time when Death Valley was as little known to the prospector as 1t still is to the public there was man named Bennett who was of party Of immigrants, making their way west ward through that region He had struggled in advance of his com panions, and being almost famished for water he found what is known as "Bennett's Hole," this being on the western bars of Death Valley. Ben nett afterward made his way fnto the foothills of the Panamint noun tains, some 20 miles to the westward. Here he found a spring of good water and camped, as best he could, to re- cuperate He was not a prospector but was attracted by the metallic quality of croppings that were in great quantity about the spring and protruded in a mammoth ledge near by.
 When Bennett, after great hard ships and wandering, finally made his way out to settlements in the far ther valleys of California he still car ried specimen of this heavy, silvery ore; and later obtaining gun that lacked a sight, Bennett took the gun and the ore to a blacksmith shop and had a sight fashioned out of this met al, which the blacksmith told him was silver, and hence the story of the Lost Gun-sight mine," which Bennett and his friends afterward searched for in vain, and scores have lost their lives trying to find.
 "The Peg-leg mine," somewhere in southeastern California, is one of the best authenticated and most famous of all lost treasures of the desert Like an Ignis Fatuus 1t lures men ever to the domains of the purple mist, for there somewhere upon a lone hillock lie its heavy heaps of gold.
 It was "Peg-leg Smith," an old prospector of the earlier days, who first found this treasure, and though crazed with thirst he reached civiliza- ton with some of the nuggets. But try as he would "Peg-leg Smith" could never retrace his steps to that alleged wealth and he finally died cursing the bitterness of fate.

coIIeetIna Horse Hair a Fad.

There was a somewhat unpleasant incident at the Yarmouth race meet Ing caused by a curious hobby which Is growing increasingly popular among lovers of race horses. A horse sud denly lashed out with it's heels, and a man who was behind 1t narrowly escaped injury.
 The trainer spoke to the man angrily, and when asked to explain the incident the trainer said that the man had been trying to pull hairs from the horses tail. He added that many people made collections of the hairs from famous horses. Ordinarily they wrote to the owner or trainer for them, but there were a certain num- Der of men who tried to make money by plucking them from the horses at different meetings.
 It appears that there are many such collections, and one of them recently changed hands for $100. Such price is above the average, but this collec- ton contained sixty hairs, three from each of the tails of twenty winners of classic races, among them being Galopin, Ormandie, Flying Fox, Scep- ter, Ard Patrick, Rock Sand, Pretty Polly and Spearmint, the genuineness being vouched for by letters from the various owners and trainers.-London Standard.

Social centers.

In Milwaukee the establishment of social centers is coming to be taken as part of the municipality's concerns. A faculty for such an institution has been appointed by the appointment committee of the school board, and as soon as the matter has been expert mented with little further, three moro social centers will be opened, all three having been recently authorized by the board. Miss Julia Welch has been chosen as assistant director of the Fourth Street institution. A great deal of public interest has been en- listed in the social center idea, not only in Milwaukee, but all over the country. Club women particularly have become keen over the possibilities that ara onening uD along this nna
