Sleep In Church, but Don't Snore.
An English preacher has invented a
cure for snoring in church. It's a little
mental contrivance that the disturber
of a parsons peace Of mind places IN
a position on his lips and nostrils, and
the Rev. A. Allen Barrett, vicar OF
Claygate, England, who evolved the
idea, says any sleeping churchgoer
thus decorated can't let loose single
snore to disturb other worshipers IN
their bully snooze every Sunday morn

Statement by Young Management.

1--WE attribute the result, to the
dissa tisfaction of the voters of Iowa
caused by Taft carrying the Iowa del
egatjon and then losing his own
state. The overwhelming defeat in
New Jersey started a tidal wave of
progressiveness.
1.-THE Iowa voters did not think that
Des Moines should have two senators
and feared the election of Young
would affect Cummins' chances two
years hence.

his personal admirers We take our
defeat gracefully and pledge our sup.
mort to the republican party" .
