HE CARRIED AN UMBRELLA.

A dear old lady who was very 'sot"
In her prejudices was asked just Why
she didn't like a certain man. She had
no particular reason that she could
think Of at the instant. but she had been
so emphatic In her expression OF dis
like that she knew she would have to
find some excuse-at once. Just at that
moment she happened to glance out OF
the window and saw him passing by.
He carried a neatly rolled umbrella
though II hardly threatened rain.
Quick as flash she answered her
questioner, "He carries an umbrella
whether it's raining or not--he Is z
softie.'"
But" said her friend, also looking
out Of the window, here comes your
son William, and he Is carrying an UNI
brella."
This did not stump the old lad. But
that's another matter-I don't like him
anyhow-and besides. 1t all depends on
who carries the umbrella" she replied
triumphantly.
That is the position some people have
taken regarding that wholesome and
refreshing beverage Coca-Cola. They
have said good many unkind things
about 1t and in each instance have had
II proved to them that their tales were
not true.
Finally they seized upon the fact that
Coca-Cola gets much of its refreshing
delciousness from the small bit of caf-
feline that 1t contains. They looked upon
that as a splendid argument against X.
Then, like the old lady who was remind
ed of son William, they were reminded
that IL is the caffeine in their favOrite
beverages. tea and coffee, (even more
their refreshing and sustaining quail
ties.
But does that stop their criticism OF
Coca-Cola for containing caffeine? No
their answer is similar to the old
lady's-they say "But that's another
matter"-what they mean is Being
prejudiced against Coca-Cola and lik-
ing tea or coffee, it all depends on
what carries the caffeine
We think the joke is on them-for
caffeine is caffeine, and II it is not
harmful in one it can't be harmful in
another. We all know that it is not
harmful in tea or coffee-that il is
really helpful in whatever it is-this
is bound to include Coca Cola.
OF course, the truth is, that having
started an attack on false premises and
having had what they thought were
good reasons for criticism proved to
be no reasons at all, they are grasping
at an excuse which does not exist, to
explain a prejudice. So you see, after
all, II all depends on who carries the
umbrella to people who are determined
to be unfair. Let us be fair.-Adv.

BATTLES MAD DOG
IN STATION CELL
Prisoner in Chicago Lookup Has
Exciting Experience.
ANIMAL FOUND RABID
Suspected Canine Locked Up In Ad.
jacent Cell CrawIs Through Drain
Pipe Connecting the Two Rooms
and Burles Fanus In Mans Leg.

Chicago.-John Anderson, an I'll
legged burglar, was taken to the PISS
teur institute the other day suffering
from wounds on one leg which may
prove fatal and wnich he incurred in
a desperate fight with a dog In his
cell at the 50th street police station.
The animal, also a prisoner, has since
been found to be suffering from
rabies.
The dog had been taken to the sta
ton after it had attacked and bitten
at least two and possibly more chill
dren living on the south side. Two of
these victims also we're treated at the
institute.
1t was suspected at the time OF the
first attack that the dog might be
mad. The policeman who captured
the animal had no safe place in
which to keep it and finally concluded
to take it to the station and lock it
up. 1t was placed in a cell adjoining
the one occupied by Anderson, who
was held as a suspect in burglary
cases.
During the night the dog prowled
uneasily around In it's cell, growing
and sDarling and making so much
noise that Anderson, stretched out on
his plain board bench, could not
sleep. After some hours, however, he
managed to fall into a doze.
Suddenly the man was awakened
by a peculiar scraping sound and
looking up, saw the eyes OF the dog
cleaning at him in his own cell. The

THE CAPTURE OLE THAW.

The police forces of great cities ballied
columns of detectives thrown off the
track, it was left for a country sheriff
to capture the fleeing Thaw, sought all
over the northeastern section of the
United States. True enough, the sher-
iff had opportunity step up and knock
at his door; but equally true enough,
opportunity found the deputy waiting
for it with brain active, eyes keenly
watching and with energy forceful
enough to trail the suspected man many
miles until chance came to cause the
arrest of one of the most notorious
fugitives of recent years, The fleeing
Thaw passed through the whole of New
England from the New York state line
uncaptured. and that in spite of the
fact that warning had been sent broad
cast over the country with description
needless because Thaw, through years OF
startling escapades, had become almost
household acquaintance of the unwel-
come sort and because his pictures had
been published in many lands. Thaw
fed scot free through city and village,
by rail and by motor, unchallenged and
practically unsupported unless the crop
ping of stories now related be taken
for the truth until he had almost
reached the Canadian line, when coun-
try deputy boarded the train and soon
sought the much-sought man, engaged
him in conversation and by dint of much
exception finally landed him behind the
bars to await the pleasure of the New
York authorities or the dictates of the
courts. 1t was a cool, clever act. Here's
a bit of praise for Deputy Sheriff b. H.
Kelsey of Colebrook, n, H.! If there
were more officers like him there
wouldn't be SO many everlasting mys-
teries.

CURRENT COMMENT

peated and emphatic protests against
the half million dollar appropriation
which, it was originally insisted, must
be made for oiir state exhibit at the
San Francisco fair The sum was finally
reduced to S250,000, and on the prin-
ciple that it is better to save half loaf
than nothing at all, The Herald vel
coined the compromise But this was
more than twice the appropriation for
st. Louis, which has within 200-mile
radius more than four times as many
people as San Francisco.
The testimony of other nations now
strikingly corroborates The Herald view
Great Britain and Germany have de-
elined to take part in the show. Italy
Russia and Austria Hungary have in
dictated that they will probably decline.
Throughout the world gratifying

CHEWING TOBACCO
GROWING IN FAVOR
Shown by Recent Large Increase in Sales
of a Popular Chewing Tobacco.

Recent increases in the sales OF Piper
Heidsieek, high grade chewing tobacco,
are pointed out by tobacco experts as an
indication that there is decidedly grow
ing preference for plug tobacco. 1t is
the general opinion in the tobacco trade
that this is due to wider appreciation
of the fact that tobacco is most satisfy

of Piper Heidsieck are taking advantage
of the present trend to bring this to.
baceo to the general attention of to-
bacco users here.
Local tobacco dealers have been sup
piled with limited number of leather
pouches and are giving one to each Gus
toner who purchases ten cents worth of
Piper Heidsieck. The package is going
so fast, say the dealers, that the supply
is being rapidly depleted. They advise
patrons who desire one of the free
pouches to act quickly. And experienced
tobacco users seem to be a unit in the
opinion that Piper Heidsieck is very
fine, satisfying chewing tocacco, The
occasion, therefore, seems to be an all
around bargain,

Oil the Roads.

An oiled highway is dirty, and in
many other ways Objectionable. The
emulsion that results from the process
is liable to spot clothing and to track
into houses. But even these objections
make the oiled road the lesser of two
evils. Any one who had occasion to use
the natural highways Sunday must be
convinced of this. The intense heat,
the automobiles steady grinding of the
gravel surface, and the long drought
have accumulated dust to depth which
detraets greatly from the pleasure of
an outing by any sort of conveyance.
The patrons of the trolley car suffer
severely as each fastmoving automobile
passes. The yards and gardens of
householders along the much travelled
lines are in places gray with dust. And
our human organism is not vet success
full in repelling dust Its effects on the
eyes, nose throat and lungs are I'M
uestionably bad.
The water-wagon is behind the times.
1t is unequal to the present task at any
cost within reach of our municipalities.

the choice is easy.--Boston Herald.

Senator Dillingham; on the Tariff.

In his discussion of the pending tariff
bill, Senator Dillingham; has prinetd
out the effect which the passage of this
measure may be expected to have upon
New England and the industrial sections
of the country generally. He is not
the only careful student of the tariff
question who believes that the bill sis
so sectional in its operation and SO dis
couraging" to many industries that it
should be condemned. The Democratic
party promised to perform the work of
tariff revision in way that would not
"injure or destroy legitimate indus
try" but there is abundant evidence
thatt he prosperity of some very import
ant industries is menaced by the meas
ure passed by the House and now be-
fore the Senate.
Much of this evidence has been pre-
scented my Senator Dillingham;, who
finds in the Underwood bill marked dis
elimination against the industrial sec
tions as whole and that the greatest
and most unreasonable discrimination
is against New England.
Mr.. Dillingham's speech in the
Senate Saturday was notable contri-
button to the tariff debate, and his con-
illusions, based on thorough study of the
pending bill and accurate understanding
of industrial conditions, will command
wide attention. Rutland Herald.
