The October American Magazine.

| One of the most astonishing
contributions to the October
American Magazine is an arti-
Gle by a Yale teacher entitled
"The Village of a Thousand
Souls" The author of the arti-
Gle, Arnold L. Gessel, has made
a complete investigation of the
22O families that constitute a
certain small village in the Mid
die West. His investigation
reaches back through one whole
generation thirty-three years.
The results of his investigation
indicate an appalling amount of
feeble mindedness, insanity, al
coholism and general delinquent
cy in small villages.
In the same issue Ray STAN
nard Baker writes a really won
derfdl article about Colonel
George W. Goethals, the buileer
of the Panama Canal. 1t is an
article containing more specific
and interesting information about
the Canal an it's remarkable
builder, than has been collected
before. Another interesting arti-
Gle in the number is a true story
of morphine fiend who reform
ed. This artible is in a series en-
titled "Those Who Have Come
Back"-a series of true stories
of people who, failures or dis
graced at forty, have succeeded
in coming back" to lives of USE
fulness.
Fiction is contributed by Inez
Haynes Gilmore, Henry Wallace
Phillips, Leonard Hatch, John
Taintor Foote and Clifford S.
Raymond.
James Montgomery Flagg and
Stephen Leacock write humor-
Gus pieces. David Grayson con.
tributes another of his Friendly
Road" sketches. The regular
departments, Interesting Peo-
pile, ~ "The Theatre" and "Tbe
terpreter's House" are includ-
ed.

contest entitled How | Saved

Our New Money.

When the new bills that Uncle
Sam is now preparing appear.
our citizens will witness the
greateat revolution that has ever
been made in the size and ap-
pearance of paper money in the
United States. Each one of the
1000, 900, 900 notes of that kind
now in circulation will be sup
plemented by uniform pieces of
currency about quarter size
smaller than that now used. If
the comment occasioned by the
establishment of parcel post, the
rural free delivery and every
other innovation Uncle Sam has
made in the last twenty years
could be rolled into one it would
not bring forth a tenth part of
the popular interest which will be
manifested when the people real
ize that each and every piece of
paper money is to be changed.
That day will sound the doom of
the counterfeiter who now raises
a 81 to $40, $40 to a 500, a
$40 to a $500 bill, or in fact, mis-
represents any demonstration.
The value of the new bills will be
apparent on sight. Any note
with Washington's portrait on it
will be 81; Sefferson's So; LIN
coins SIS; Grover Cleveland's $40
Alexander Hamilton's 500; An
drew Jackson's $50; Franklin's
500; John Marshall's $500, and
so on. 1t would then be utterly
impossible for a forger to boost a
one dollar bill to a ten dollar bill,
as is so frequently done, because
within a few months after the
system has been in vogue every
man, woman and child will have
learned that Geo. Washington's
picture stands for 81 and not $40.

Fate of Chinese Love Letters.

The Chinese look upon every
bit of writing and print in Chi
nese characters as sacred. They
would consider it a sacrilege to
step on written or printed paper,
or to use discarded manuscripts
or newspapers as wrappers for
provisions.
The fact that the Chinese
characters were used by his an
cestor causes them to be highly
venerated b y the Chinaman,
more particularly those charact-
ers which enter into the names
of the Chinese saints.

lied solely for the purpose of

The Common Towel.

This household infection spread

a person who has been used to
an individual towel. 1t is diff
cult to understand how any one
can wipe his face on soiled,
damp towel that has been used
by all the other members of the
household. But custom is a
great factor in, molding habits

the necessity of pointing out at

Don't Let Baby Suffer With Eczema
and shin ErupfionS.

Babies need a perfect skin covering.
Skin eruptions cause them not only
intense suffering, but hinder their
growth. DR.. Hobson's Eczema Oint-
ment can be relied on for relief and
permanent cure of suffering babies
whose skin eruptions have made their
lives miserable. "Our baby was af-
fiicted with breaking out of the skin
all over the face and scalp. Doctors
and skin specialists failed to help.
We tried DR.. Hobson'S Eczema Oint-
ment and were overjoyed to see baby
completely cured before one box was

When is Bride a Wife?

At just what point in the mar
riage ceremony do the parties to
it become legally husband and
wife? Recently a couple stood
before a white-robed minister,
in a New York state town, while
many guests looked on. The
good man read from his prayer
book the opening words of the
marine glasses standing on the
bridge in the uniform of a Ger
man general. Great was their
astorishment wnen, on landing
barely ten minutes later, he
rejected them dressed as an En-
glish odmiral. He sas escorted
to his special train wherein he
disappeared for few moments,
walking into the saloon in the
uniform of the First Royal
Dragons. Finally, upon arriv-
familiar service, beginning,
"Dearlr beloved, we are gather
ed together" looked the bride
groom in the eyes and said;
Edmund, wilt thou have this
woman to be thy welded wife,
to live together after Gods holy
ordinance in the holy estate of
matrimony; wilt thou love her,
comfort her, honor and keep her
in sickness and in health, and
forsaking all others, keep thee
only unto her so long as We both
shall live?"
The bridegroom replied dis
tinctly, Il WILL" and fell dead.
The tragic episode has started
an avalanche of complications.
The stricken bridegroom was a
man of wealth. The bride is of
slender means. Friends of the
strangely widowed little woman
declare she has a right to one
third of Edmund's real property.
Those who oppose this view
declare a mutual VOW is neces-
sarp to make marriage legal.
A fragmentary religious formu-
la, in which the bride has taken
no verbal part, cannot, they say,
be construed as basis for a claim
of dover.
No known precedents are
known and a Judge will be ask
cd to pass definitely upon the
unsual case.

Owns Thaee Thousand Uniforms.

1t is said that the German en-
peror has more uniforms than
any other living man. This is
because of his military, navy and
other titles in Germany and other
countries. His uniforms, which
have been computed at nearly
5000 in all, are in charge of his
head valet, who has II other
Wallets working under him. The
valet requires to be an expest on
military uniforms, for it is no
light task to remember the ac-
cessories in the way of swords,
epaulets, helmets, etc., to go
with nearly 5000 uniforms, for
each detail must be exact, and
a mistake in regard to shis would
cost him his place.
1t is, perhaps, on the occasion
of his royal masters visits to
foreign countries that the re-
sources of the head valet are
taxed to their utmost. The
kaiser insists on always dressing
the part correctly. On his visits
to England much establishment
oas been expressed at his skill
as a quick change artist.
On one occasion, when his
yacht, the Hohenzollern, was off
the British coast, the officials
stationed at Port Tictoria to re-
ceive him sighted him through
ing in London, he stepped off the
train in the conventional frock-
coat and top-hat of an English
gentleman.
The keeping of such an extern
sive wardrobe is somewhat a
task. 1t is said that for the
four palaces in and round Berlin
8O.boxes of napthaline moth balls
and 80 of camphor and cedar
shavings are required to resist
the depredations of the moth.
When it is remembered that the
kaiser has nearly so other pal
aces besides in varions parts of
his kingdom, in all of which full
sets of uniforms are kept, it can
be imagined that tn money
spent on moth destroyers must
run into r tidy little sum every
year.

Ankle Badly Hurt.

DR.. Stanton was called by tele-
phone out to Cedar creek Satur-
day afternoon to attend Dave Will
cox, who had injured his ankle by
a falling telephone pole. 1t was
thought at first that the ankle
was broken, but upon examina-
ton it was found to be only a bad
strain. Mr.. Wilcox is working
for the Carbon Timber Com pany,
which is putting in the new Gov
eminent lines between here and
the Reserve. The gang had got
ten as far as Cedar creek, with the
re-setting of the poles. Wilcox
cut the wire at one pole where
they were going to put in some
more wire, and went up to the
next pole to cut the tie wire. He
tested the pole aud thought it
would stand his weight. After
climbing the pole and hooking his
safety strap, he cut the tie wire
and the pole above him being
partly down jerked the line before
the tie wire was off, and a kink in
the line caught as the pole started
down, jerking the pole over that
Wilcox WAS on and as he was
fastened to it with the safety, he
could not get away. When he
struck the ground the pole fell
across his left leg and ankle, and
but for some heavy sage brush,
his leg would have been broken.
but the brush broke the fall OF
the pole to some extent.
Mr.. Wilcox had a bad straiI
and his leg is bruised and it vii

Fishing and 0utinl.

Every year the fishing an,
hunting gets better. This yea
the season opened the water early
and as a consequence the watel
bias cleared up earlier than usuaI
and the fly fishing is now in full
force. Tremendous catches have
been made and the fishing is i'm
proving every day. The limit can
be caught easily enough.
Fishing territory all over the
west would not make this valley if
they were all put together. The
men who advertise fishing resorts
all over the west, remind one of
the hotel proprietor who went out
to his meals at some other place,
on the account of not being able
to eat his own. The main boos-
tiers for fishing places throughout
the entire west, slip into Saratoga
every once in a while just to get a
days good fishing.
This may sound like a fish story
but nevertheless we. are abb. to
back up our "fsh stories" and that
is a whole lot more than some of
I
them can do. Why, they arrested
q man in Colorado once for having
too many fish in his possession,
