CAN YOU BLAME HIM ?,

1t is a scommon sight on almost any

structor and guide evenlafter he has been
placed, In charge of car.
The other day a young man with the
wisp of hay still In his hair was given a
tryout on a downtown car. One of the
regular conductors was with him and
gave him pointers now and then. Just
before leaving the barn trailer was
added to the car and the .'greeny' was
told to connect the signal cord of the
two ears. AS the car approached town
1t had to stop at almost every street
crossing to take on or off one or more
passengers The new conductor pulled
the bell cord on each occasion and each
time the trolley jumped the wire. This
happened so frequently that the old con-
ductor went TO investigate the cause He
saw it at glance. The verdant one had
tied the bellcord of the transfer to the
trolley rope. What the old conductor said
to the new one would not look we'll in
print
At the terminus OF the line the neophyte
was counting the nickels and dimes he
had received for fares and among them
found strange coin. 1t was about the
size of nickel. but was embelljshed on
each side with strange and fearsome
design. The haymaker looked at 1t intent

nickels with the buffalo design.

The familiar adage that you can get a
man out of the country, but you can't
get the country out of man. Is like
many other adages and sayings that have
come down the times, in that 1t is not
always true. In fact the history of our
country shows so many examples of men
reared in the country who have risen to
fame and fortune and positions of honor
and trust as to almost entirely discount
it, yet the fact remains that the process
of eliminating the earmarks of rural sur
1oundings is sometimes very slow.
Possibly in no other industrial line does
the country boy predominate as much as
in the street car service. The work is
such that to the boy of average intelli-
eence it offers better chance than many
of the industrial plants of the district,

With the hundreds of men employed. the
street car companies are constantly re-

NEW KIND OF BLANKET
 WHENCE ITS ORIGIN
Response to Those Who Prefer Bright
 Coiors to Real Worth

Speaking yesterday of new phase of the Navajo blanket trade. MT. Bake. proprietor of Balke's Big Curio Store said that as people became more famil-
 jar with Indian blankets and the de mand for them increased many persons not good judges of blankets felt that something more handsome and with designs more elaborate than the simple designs of the Indians should be put on the market. There is crudity about the Indian design and coloring that did not appeal to them.
 As soon as the traders learned this they arranged to remove the cause Ot complaint They secured artists tC make new and intricate designs for the
 Indians to copy and they had new
 kind of mill yarn made, coarse like that
 the Indians use but unlike the Indian
 yarn, il was chemically treated and
 dyed with chemicals This yarn was put into the hanGS of the Indians, that is of those who would use it and the new kinds of blankets were made
 There are several ways in which they can be distinguished from the genuine Indian blankets The designs are HdIuSolllcl anu lHc PuttiiitS VI tlit4li are sharper. The solid colOring is more even, in fact. perfectly even, as it can not be made ol. TCol. prepared accof"- ing to the Indian method.

THIRD WEEK BEGUN
 0F 4 DAMAGE SUIT
Monotony of it was Momentarily Re-
 ieVed in the Morning.

The trial of the damage suit of J. L. Le POinte against F. W. Wells, J. NJ. Creighton and c. A Threlheld entered upon it's third week yesterday morning, though Judge Wells the first named of the defendants had been eliminated by the sustaining of d motion by Judge Phillips to dismiss the case as to him, leaving 1t the other two defendants to see which if either of them was to be stuck for damages.
 The proceedings yesterday were enliV- ened by tilt between Attorney B. F.. Marks representing MT Threlkeld, and the court. It took place in the course of the cross examination of Mir. Creigh ton who was asked regarding certain testimony by him which was at Vari- ance with that offered by some of the other witnesses. whether he believed that those witnesses were liars.
 An objection to this question was sustained by the court whereupon, at- ter a little while, MT. Marks propound- ed it again with q slight variation Of language. Again objection was offered and sustained. Mr Marks began an argument in favor of the proprietY. relevancy, competency and mAteriality of his inquiry The court having al- ready rufed upon it twice. directed MT. Marks to be seated but he remained standing. which was q most dangerous attitude, for every adjudication of con- tempt which Judge Phillips has yet made was for attorneys neglecting to make use of the chairs which are pro- Vided for them. Finally the judge an nounced that Mir. Marks was in con tempt and fixed his punishment at the payment of fine of $25. Mir. Marks said that he was not in personal pos session of so much money and would nave to go to jail. The judge assented and directed Bailiff Billy Wilson to es cOrt MT. Marks to the tOlbOoth. The bailiff entered upon this duty with more than official cheerfulness; even with enthusiasm and Mir. Marks was taken below
 He remained for half an hour; when he returned to the court room and apologized to the court, and the friendly relations in which he and the court were knit as members of the sports committee for the Illinois society picnic, were restored and the trial of the damage suit was resumed.

PLAGUE SPREAD BY CAMEL
Carcass OF Dead Beast Left Exposed

The Paris Medical publishes some
observations which throw an impor-
tant light on the cases of plague which
occurred in Russia some time ago. AS
far back as 1907 DR.. Klodnitzlhy no.

Caspian Sea. a. slight outbreak of
plague. Three women We're attacked.
and he was able to establish, after
inquiry, that they had all three been
engaged in handling the carcass Of
camel which had died from some un-
known cause. Later. in April, 1911.
plague appeared in a little place in
the district Of Kamysch- Samara. Six
persons We're attacked with plague.
and all had eaten Of camel that had
died.
At the end Of September, In the
same year, another camel In the dis
trlct died, and then an autopsy was
made. There were no clear indlca-
tions of any injuries to account for
death, but in the viscera the doctor
found a bacillus identical with that of
Yersin the cultures of which repro
duced plague in animals which were
inoculated. Toward the end of the
same month other human beings were
attacked and the outbreak coincided
with the death Of a camel. and tests
with the blood produced a typical
plague bacillus. Dr.. Klodnitzlhy has
no doubt that the cases of plague in
the human beings owed their origin
