Automatic Professor.

The automatic professor is a me.
chanical means Of teaching language
which has just been introduced and
which promises to become favorite
because of the ease and convenience
with which it enables one to acquire
a language. The device consists Of q
combination OF the phonosraph with
a piece Of mechanism which operates
reel on which are printed words
and sentences 80 that the student ia
enabled to see the word at the same
time that he hears 1t. The phono.
graph alone has already been utilized
for the teaching of language with
some success, but the efficacy Of the
new combination is much greater and
the student acquires a greater famil.
iarity with the language, both written
and spoken, in less time. 1t ia also
applicable to elementary instruction

Monasteries and converts seem nat

DISSERTATION ON THE INCOME
All Interested In tho Subject Whleh
ls Treated Hero In q Jocular
Fashion. a

: Incomes are now being taxed. 1t is
therefore desirable that something
should be known about them. An In
come is anything which you cannot
live upon expressed In terms Of lawful
money. Lawful money Is anything
which will be accepted by the mem
bers OF state legislature or a police
captain or your wife. Incomes were
created for two purposes: to lie about
and to live beyond. Many people who
will not have to pay any are COM
planning to their friends and neigh
bors about the way they are oppressed
by the income tax. This Is one of
those natural phenomena which no
scientist has been able to explain.
Incomes vary in size according to
how many people have worked for you
In the past or are working for you at
present. No income is without honor
somewhere, except in the family 1t is
yainly attempting to support. Here
1t Is generally despised and looked
down upon. -..... -...
An income tax is an effort on the
part Of the government to make you
feel that you are wealthy. Also to
support the government in its main
business in life, namely, living beyond
its income.
The government, which receives O
larger income than any one else,
should be taxed upon it. The proceeds
might go toward relieving millionaires
In distress. ."..
Every income is known by the
company 1t keeps.-Life.

CHINA NEEDS MONEY BADLY
Finance Minister Protests Against De-
lay in Loan.

Peking, Feb. THE Chinese minis
ter OF finance has presented a letter
to the six powers group of bankers, de-
ploring the circumstances which pre-
vented the signing OF the loan agree
ment and the consequent failure OF
the bankers pledge to make immedi-
ate advances.
The minister pointed out that the
government is urgently in need of
funds and that failure to obtain them
will place the country in a dangerous
position. He added:
According TO the proposed agree
ment the six power loan was secured
by the salt revenue. Should any por-
tion OF this hereafter be hypothecat-
ed as security and a loan contracted
with another party it would be neces-
sary proportionately to reduce the
$125,O00,O00 as stipulated in the six
power agreement, in the event OF a
future agreement with this group.
1T was not my original intention to
make such condition, but there has
been so much delay on your part and
so many side issues have been pushed
forward that | am constrained to do
so, however reluctant feel to take
such a course"

TO ATTACK CONSTANTlNOPLE
Main Object of Present Maneuvers Of
Bulgarian Army,

Sofia, Bulgaria, Feb. THE main
object of the Bulgarian armies, apart
from the reduction of the fortress of
Adrianople, was disclosed by the war
office. The plan is to reach the Dar-
danelles straits and clear them for the
passage OF the Greek fleet into the
Sea Of Marmora, Then the Greeks
will attack Constantinople directly
from the sea.
From the reports of the lighting to
the north of the peninsula of Gallipoli
1t can be seen that one OF the columns
of King Ferdinand's troops is march
ing straight for the city of Gallipoli.
1t has occupied already the villages
OF Modesto, Charkeui, KAYAK and Bu-
lair, which are on the neck OF the
peninsula. 1t has not yet, however,
come into contact with any large force
OF Turkish troops, of which there are
said to be 10000 on the Gallipoli pen
insula.

GREAT INDIGNATION
AGAINST EMPLOYER
Rochester Clothing MdnufaCtur.
er Kills Girl Striker.

Rochester, N. r., Feb. THE shoot.
ing of seventeen-year-old Ida Brae-
man, garment striker, by Valentine
Sauter, clothing manufacturer, has
aroused the indignation OF every Ia
Dor union in the city and every effort
is expected to push the charge OF
murder in the first degree to finish.
Sauter was in his shop when a
group of strikers gathered outside
and began calling to strikebreakers
within to come out and join the strike.
Sauter, enraged, rushed to a win.
dow with shotgun and fired point
blank into the crowd. The Braeman
girl was instantly killed and three 9th.
ers wounded.
Sauter's shot scattered the strikers,
but when they saw the body of the
girl lying IL the street, they reas.
sembled and would have torn down
Sauter's shop but for the arrival OF
the police. On the way to the station
the police had to use their clubs to
protect Sauter.
Sauter said he fired because he
thought his life and property were in
danger.

Grafton Under Lease Is the Proper
Solution.
Washington Feb. 7.--Alaska's vast
resources can best be brought within
reach of the world, in the opinion OF
President Taft, by the construction,
with government assistance, of two
railway lines from the Alaskan coast
TO the interior ownership of which
will be vested In the government, but
which shall be operated by private
parties under lease.
In a special message transmitting TO
congress the report of the Alaskan
railway commission the president
strongly urged legislation along these
lines.
Il am very much opposed to govern
ment operation, but believe that gov
ernment ownership with private opera
tion under lease is the proper solu-
tion," wrote the president
The two roads would have total
mileage OF 733 miles and would cost
about s35,O00,0O0.

While Cooking.

While preparing dinner a young
Minneapolis wife had the misfortune to
scald her hand SO badly that over half
the skin came off. She was alone at
the time and rushed over to her neigh
boris for help. This neighbor prompt
ly applied Aliens Ulcerine Salve and
in ten days the hand was completely
healed without scar.
This salve IL one of tx Oldest rem
edies in America and since 1866 it
has been known as the only salve
powerful enough to cure chronic ul-
ceis and old sores of long standing.
Because ii is SO powerful, it will
heal burns and scalds without scar
in remarkably short time.
Aliens Ulcerine Salve heals from
the bottom up and draws out the
pcisons. If applied on new cuts and
sores 1t heals in one third the time that
common salves and liniments take.

CONFESSION LEADS
TO men HIGHER UP
Remarkable Story Of Graft Told
by Policeman.

New York, Feb. THE trail of po-
lice graft upon which District Attor-
ney Charles S. Whitman set out last
summer is declared by him to have
emerged from the thicket OF minor ex-
posures to an open road leading to
men higher up.
Through the remarkable confession
which Police Captain Thomas w.
Walsh made to the district attorney,
which will be repeated to the grand
jury, indictments will be sought
against a police inspector and others
as alleged graft takers on large
scale. If obtained, these indictments
will be the most important develop
ments in the exposure of the "sys-
tenn" since the city was aroused to
the alliance OF its police with gam
bling and vice by the murder OF a
"squealing" gambler at the instigation
Of Police Lieutenant Charles Becker
last July.
Walsh, who is seriously Ill, admitted
taking vice graft 10 the extent of per-
haps 100000 in a single police pre-
cinct. Half this amount he turned
over to those higher up.
