EVE SAW FIRST RAINBOW
THE LADY OF APPLE FAME BEAT
MIR. NOAH BY CENTURIES.
There Were Mists Long Before the
Patriarch Survived the Big Wet
Spell. A Stirring Debate.

Never mind how the tariffs going
to work out, or what the currency
bill is all about, anyway, or when
Huerta is going to fall or the next
white house wedding is to occur, or
what you are going to get your wife's
mother for Christmas, or-let every
thing stop; everything go, and see if
you are the smart person who can
stand right up here and answer this
question:
''Who saw the first rainbow"
That's all that's worrying Hacken-
sack, N. j., says the New York
world.
Down at the town hall the other
night there was a public debate with
the local champ weather prophet,
Devoe, expostulating that Noah saw
the first pretty ribbons strung in the
skies, and the Rev. DR.. Hume of
Brooklyn a-coming right back at him
and a-going it up hill and down dale
that it was Adam got the first peek
yep-before Eve started playing big
time at all.
''No, sir" said Champ" Devoe,
there wasn't any rain till the world
went all wrong and the moon chang
ed her course and the flood came.
And when the rain stopped, then,
Noah was first in it. at the first after
noon of the big sky show Before
that there warn't anything but mists.
And men grew to be giants and new
er died, and women could go shop
ping and never be caught in the rain.
First time a rainbow is ever men
toned in the Bible was when Noah
looked up after the flood"
mo, SIR said Rev. DR.. Hume.
How comes it Noah was preaching
100 years about rain if he saw it? 1t
isn't necessary to have rain to see a
rainbow. You can see rainbows in
the Niagara mists any day the sun
is shining So, if there were only
mists before Noah's time there were
rainbows just the same. Brother
Devoe knows nothing about sunshine.
It's all moonshine he's been giving
us-and him a prohibitionist, too"
And" chirped up the Rev. S. F.
Davis, from the audience, "he went
and prophesied squalls for tonight,
and the stars are shining"
Then everybody laughed "Ha, ha,
ha'!' at Prophet Devoe, and the
meeting broke up. But just the
same, to a mere amateur it would
seem that if Eve ever saw a rain
bow she'd have told Adam to get it
and chucked away her fig leaf for the
new decorations.

MUST PUNCH THE SKULL
AND PUNCTURE SPINAL CORD
UNDER WISCONSIN'S EUGEN-
les MARRIAGE LAW.
DOCTOR SAYS TOO STRINGENT

Cost viii BE Quite an Item, Too,
Involving Four Tests at Cost of
$1,000 to $500 Each If the Work
Is Properly Done.
MILWAUKEE, Wis.-Physical ex-
animation covering several months if
properly done and not the small fee
of SO for a physicians certificate
is set forth as the principal reason
for opposition to Wisconsin's new eu-
genie marriage law in a statement
made today by a well known Mil
waukee physician.
The examination, according to
the demand of the law for physical
examination, and the application of
recognized clinical and laboratory
tests" says the statement, would
involve at least four Wasserman tests
over a period of more than
four months, each of which would
absolutely cost if properly done from
SO to SIS after which Noguchi test
would be necessary, and even if both
of these tests were found negative
it would still be necessary to punct-
ure the spinal cord, draw out some
of the spinal fluid and make a Was
serman test of that
This test being negative, If the
physician went to the limit of scien-
tific search he would be obliged to
make a hole in the skull Of the appli-
cant, remove a portion Of the brain,
smear it upon a glass slide, stain it
and examine microscopically for the
pallida, which is the cause
Of the malady feared"
Further tests, the physician says,
might also be advisable.

He LEFT MANY MILLIONS
VIM. DEERING, THE MANUFACT-
URER OF FARM MACHINERY,
DIES IN CHICAGO.
NOTHING IS GIVEN TO CHARITY
Big Estate Will Be Divided Among
His Heirs. Figures Appearing in
Will by No Means Represent Vast
Fortune He Accumulated.

CHICAGO, IlI.-The entire estate
of William Deering, the harvester
manufacturer, estimated at from
100000 to $4,000, 1000, is left
to his immediate family, according
to the terms of the will which was
offered for probate today. None of
the estate was left to charity, Mr..
Deering stating in his will that he
considered he had done enough for
charity during his life time.
The aged manufacturer died at his
winter home at Cocoanut Grove, Fla,
on Dec. 9Th, and was buried from his
home at Evanston.
The fortune, the bulk of which con-
lists of stock in the International Har-
vester Co. and in Chicago and Evan
ston real estate, will be divided in
practically equal shares among the
following heirs:
The BenefCiaries.
Mrs. William Deer'ng, widow, Ev-
anston; Charles Deering, son of first
wife, New York; James Deering, son
of second wife, Chicago; Charles
Deering, Jr., grandson, Honolulu;
Roger Deering, invalid son of Charles
Deering, Florence, Italy; Marion
Deering, son of Charles Deering, Chi
cago and New York; Mrs. Richard
Ely Danielson, daughter of Charles
Deering, Chicago; Deering Howe, son
of Mrs. Richard Howe; Abby Deer
ing, who died in 1906.
Northwestern University, at Evan
ston, was the principal beneficiary of
William Deering during his life time,
total gifts amounting to 100000.
During his life time Mr.. Deering
transferred large sums to his heirs
so that the figures appearing in the
will by no means represent the fort
une which he accumulated in the
manufacture of harvesting machin-
cry.

That big Business" Regards 1t
Useless to Fight Sherman Law.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Attorney
General McReynolds tonight made
npbIic details of an agreement for re-
oroanization of the American Tele-
nbone and Telegraph Company-the
..+aIeDhone trust will pre-
vent litigation to dissolve that cor
noration under the antitrust act, and
under which competitive conditions
will he restored in the telephone SER
rica of the entire country and the
holdings in the Western Union Tele-
graph Company.
The reorganization plan originated
with the company, although it fol-
lowed many reports that a suit might
he filed against it. 1t was tonight re-
garded by department of justice Of
fciaIs as the most striking indica-
tion offered in a decade that big
business" has come to the conclusion
that it is better to conform to the
sherman law than fight it.
The plan met not only the APPROX
al of the attorney general and his
chief trust buster" G. c. Todd, and
officials of the subsidiaries of the
combine, but was heartily approved
nv President Wilson. In a letter to
Mr.. McReynolds the president eX-
pressed his admiration for the atti-
tude of the telephone company and
his conviction that such conduct on
the part of the business men meant
q building up of business on sound
and permanent lines.
In brief the agreement provides
that:
The American Telephone and
Telegraph Company will dispose
promptly of its holdings in the West
ern Union Telegraph Company so
that each concern shall be under dis
tinct management and so that all
shall be entirely independent.
The company hereafter will not
acquire control of other telephone
companies. and where control of tel
ephone companies has been acquired
but no actual physical union has been
effected the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company will submit the
course it is to pursue to the interstate
commerce commission and to the de-
partment of Justice.
The company promptly will make
arrangements by which all other tel
ephone companies in the United
States shall have access to its toll
lines.

water are required to produce one

Boston Pastor Declines to mtercede
For Investors in May Wheat.


Rev. Charles l.. Page, assistant
pastor of the Dudley Street Baptist
church in Boston, has issued denial
of a report that he had made unfort-
innate investors in railroad securities

received a telegram from New York
reading:
Noticing your prayers for invest
ors in railroad securities, will you
kindly include investors in wheat for
May delivery both in Chicago and
New York; also investors in faxseed
and corn, thereby obliging several
parties interested in the above, and
who will anxiously await results?"
Mr.. Page said that he would not
undertake any such contract.

DEAL |. JACKSON is DEAD
Negro Farmer of DOugherty County,
known as First Bale Man." Is
Stricken Suddenly.

ALBANY, Ga.-Deal L. Jackson,
known throughout the South as the
first bale man of Georgia" and one
of the most prominent negroes in this
section, died in Albany Friday morn
ing as he was being hurried to hos
pital following an attack Of apoplexy
which seized him on the street just
after he had driven in from his farm.
Jackson was one of the most in
teresting men in this part of the
state, and though he refused to take
an active part in politics was an ac-
knowledged leader of his race. His
big plantation in the western part Of
Dougherty county is one of the best
in Southwest Georgia.
Made a Fortune Farming.
Jackson had accumulated snug
fortune as a farmer. His chief dis
tinction came from the fact that for
many years he marketed the first
bale of cotton grown in the state of
Georgia or east of the Mississippi
river. Many attempts were made to
wrest the title of first bale man"
from him, but without success. A
few years ago he voluntarily retired
from the field of first bale competi-
ton, but last year he decided to re-
enter. The result was that he again
brought the first bale to market.
beating the state for what was des-
tined to be the last time.

mated at 100000, the baroness
Travelled from city to city to fulfill
her part of the agreement. But Hur-
lev applied absent treatment in each
case and while the baroness was pres

and unwilling. AS a result the bar
oness was disgraced, Inundated, So
ciallv made a laughing stock of,
wounded in her affections and in her
purse, subjected to physical suffer
ings and inconveniences, caused by
her long flights after her Woulu-pe
husband; and had her ambitions
thwarted, her hopes of happiness
blasted, her peace Of mind ruined,
her high character impugned, and her
wedding trouseaus put out of date.
She rightfully believes that no ped
dIer of paints and pigments should
treat a baroness in such manner
and through her attorneys She has
applied to the United States district
court in st. Louis for vindication and
compensation.
