Veaetarians.

In his book, "'Thc Natural Food of Man," Hereward Darlington says that the natural food of man is neither meat nor vegetables, but fruit and nuts, and remarks: ''One of the chief causes of failure on the part of those who leave off meat and attempt to take up vegetarian ism is that they do not rightly bal ance their diet and do not supply to the system the proper amount oi protcid food to take the place of that which the meat supplied. Vege- tarians. as q rule. eat far too much food. Under the impression that they must eat more in order to off, set the supposed greater nutritive value of meat, they eat far more than they should"

Record HaiIstones.

It would be difficult to determine what the hailstone record is. There are numerous pretty well authenti- cated cases of hailstones weighing half pound and more, but claims far beyond that are made. Stones of six or eight pounds were said to have fallen at Namur in l719. The missionary Father Hue records the fall in 'Tartary in lS43 of block of ice as big as milestone which took three days to melt. In May, 1902. a Hungarian village reported d HOO pound block, requiring eight men to move it. And in Tippoo's time one as big as an elephant was said to have fallen near Seringa- patam.

CURIOUS HERM ISLAND.
4 Romantic FeudaI Spot Close to the English Coast.

~ 0omanUo T0uoNt SPot NIoSo to tnS English Coast.
 A real feudal island, where the inhabitants are ruled by rigid regu- latione reminiscent of the middle ages and where even visitors have to conform to Spartan laws-such is the island of Herm, about four miles from Guernsey.
 Herm is only about eight miles in circumference, but kangaroos run wild within its confines, and the inhabitants are not allowed to have either guns or dogs.
 It is difficult to believe that Herm is a real island only a few miles from the English coast and not dream island in the south seas invented by some fanciful novelist.
 It is leased from the British gov- ernmcnt by Prince Butcher, de- scendant of the famous Waterloo Butcher. His residence stands on the summit of the island and can be seen from the sea for miles around.
 There is only one landing place, and then one can only get ashore under certain tides. No one is per mittcd to land without paying a fee, and people have to give a req son for their visit.
 Visitors are only permitted at Herm during the summer season from June to September.
 The law in this romantic feudal island is enforced by the chief boat man, who holds the office of con- stable. As an emblem of office he carries a miniature ebony silver mounted baton. People arrested are taken to curious little stone pris- on near the landing place, shaped like beehive. Herm has forty in- habitants, all dependents of the prince.
 The most fascinating feature oi the island is the herd of kangaroos with d few rock wallabies, which leap about the place as if in the heart of Australia.
 A former inhabitant of Herm put two kangaroos on the island The present herd, several hundred in all, are their dcscendants.-Lon- don Cor. New York Sun.

Pitchers Tragedy.

Connie Mack, who takes great pride in developing young pitchers and then prophesying how they will show up in action, sent in one of his finds in an exhibition game not long ago: The slaughter of the young slab artist was pitiful to be- hold. At the end of the second in ming Connie was somewhat peeved.
 "What's the matter with you, son!" he asked the youngster as kindly as he could, which was not remarkably kindly.
 'T-I don't seem to be able to get the ball over the plate" said the pitcher sadly.
 "You're mighty right you can't get it over the plate," observed Mack. his pccved condition much aggravated. "And I'll tell you why. Every time you start it over they knock it back at you."-Popular Magazine.

A Trying Job.

"The doctor has ordered my wife to go to rest cure.'
 "Why should she need rest? You have no children; you have servants to do all the work around the house; your wife has an electric, so that it never is necessary for her to walk anywhere. l suppose she never finds it necessary to do any sewing or darning or anything like that, and l have no doubt that she even hires other people to polish her nails and arrange her hair. How can a lady so fortunately situated possibly be in need of rest?''

FINDINGS ARE kEEPINGs."
They Arc, Provided You Can't Locate
 the Riqhtful Owner.

They Are, Provided You Can't Locate
 the Rishtfui Owner.
 There are good many popular sayings on matters legal which if followed literally may lead to trou- ble. The old saying that "ind- ings are keepings" is one of them.
 It is true that under the law the finder of lost property is entitled to keep it against all the world except the rightful owner, but he may get himself into serious trouble unless he makes reasonable effort to To- cate the real owner.
 At least that is so in New York, and probably in some of the other states where New York's penal code is more or less closely followed. There is section of that code which provides that unless he makes a reasonable effort to restore it to it's owner the finder of lost property is guilty of larceny.
 Just what amounts to ca reason able effort," must depend upon the circumstances of each particular case. One would not be expected to go to any considerable expense to locate the owner of an article of little value, but on the other hand if the property found were worth several thousand dollars, the finder might reasonably be expected to ex pend his own money, if necessary, to locate the loser If he didn't, he would be guilty of larceny under the statute.
 There is no duty upon the part of the finder to advertise for the owner unless that method seems to be the most likely one to locate him.
 If you find gold watch on d street car it is your duty to turn it over to the conductor or to the lost property department of the rail- way company, not because the com pany has d better title to it than you, but because that is the most likely method of locating the own- CT. If the property is not reclaimed within reasonable time you may insist upon having it returned to you. For this reason, when you turn over lost property in this way either obtain receipt for it ad- hitting your claim to it as finder, or, if you cannot obtain such re- ceipt, deliver with the article a letter asserting your claim, keeping a copy of the letter.
 Again, if you find a pocketbook in store and there is no clew to its owner it is your duty to inform the shopkecper of your find, but there is no reason why you should turn it over to him unless by so doing the owner may be more easily 1 found.
 Articles found in the public high way may be turned over to the near est police station. but in most cases it would suffice simply to notify the police authorities of your find.- New York American.

For Governor.
CALLS STATEMENTS FALSE.
Former Senator From Ohio Also Ex-

Told About - Denies Story of
Meeting to Oppose Taft's
Nomination.
CALLS STATEMENTS FALSE.

Washington, Aug. 6-Congressional
investigation of Martin NJ. Mulhall's
story of his lobbying activities for the
National Association of Manufacturers
took on dual aspect when the spe-
rial house committee began grinding on
the thousands of letters already intro
duced before the senate committee and
prepared to cross examine Mulhall on
his claims of influence with various
representatives.
The senate committee, having fin
ished with Mulhall, began hearing
some of the men referred to in his cor
respondence. Former Senator Foraker
was the first and chief witness of the
session, and he generally denied Null
halls claims Of influence with him.
Former Senator Foraker, on taking
the stand, explained his connection
with the sale of the Union Pacific to
reorganization committee in 1897,
which was brought into the lobby in
vestigation by David Lamar. Lamar
testified that Foraker, through influ-
ence at Washington, took a leading

Admits Knowing MulhaIl.
Foraker testified that at the time of
reorganization the Union Pacific owed
the United States $30,O00OOO, and one
proposal was that the government re-
ceive only part of that sum. Foraker
swore he did not figure in the case ex-
cept in an effort to see that the gov
ernment got the whole sum. He had
known Mulhall since 1883, when he

ernor of Ohio. He did not know how
active Mulhall was in his behalf in
that campaign.
II don't remember that l ever asked
him to work for me, and don't know
that asked him not to-" he said.
The senator denied that he ever IA
vored legislation wanted by the n. A.

about legislation in Washington. He
frequently talked to men in the CAPT
tol, however, in those days about legis-
lation.

right to answer questions. OF course
never had any idea that these CONVEX
sations were to be made the basis of
reports by some lobbyist"

leading Republicans opposed to the
nomination of Taft gathered at For

certed opposition.

SULZER AFTER GRAFT PROBE.
Confers With State District Attorney
of Hennessy Charges.

Albany, N. Y, Aug. 6.-Governor
Sulzer conferred with District Attor-
ney Rollin P. Sanford Of Albany and
Commissioner John A. Hennessy,
whom he appointed several days ago
to investigate the management and af-
fairs Of state departments, presuma-
bly, regarding the advisability of EN-.
paneling special grand jury in AL
bany county to consider the graft and
padded payroll charges made by Mr..
Hennessy after his investigation of the
wiring and other interior contracts at
the capitol early in the year.
Governor Sulzer declared some time
ago that he intended to turn over the
Hennessy allegations concerning the
capitol contracts to a grand jury. This
evidence apparently duplicates several
former state officials and the en-
ployees Of several contractors who did
the interior work on the capitol.

Albany, n. Y, Aug. 6.-"Patsy" was

rier was located in O'Dwyer's barn at
Morton avenue and Swan street, half
mile from the executive mansion
and a short distance from the residence
of Patrick e. McCabe.
Two youths appeared at "the Peo-
ple's House" and informed Mrs. Sulzer
that PATSY" was In ODwyer's barn.
The governor dispatched two of his
detectives to the barn and half an
hour later Patsy was back home.
The detectives started to break into
the barn despite the fact that bull
dog was on guard Then Mr.. O'Dwyer
came along and unlocked the door.
He declared the dog was his, but as
it still wore the collar which the gov
ernor had placed on it waived his
claim.

WHITMAN STILL UNDECIDED.
Tremendous Pressure to Get District
Attorney to Run Independently.


New York, Aug. Cat the end of
day in which tremendous pressure had
been brought to bear to persuade him
to run for mayor independently, Dis
trict Attorney Charles S. Whitman
was still undecided what he should do.
He made no statement Of his inten-
t1ons, nor would he intimate when
such declaration might be expected.
The days developments in the po-
litical situation introduced new and
important factors, all having a bear
man.
Chief among these were the reports
that Tammany Hall stands ready to
indorse him for the district attorney
ship and that Tammany is very seri-
ously contemplating nominating Judge
Samuel Seabury for mayor.

representations have been made to Mr..

that he can have the Endorsement of

Senate Democrats Divided
on Proposed Bill.
MR.. OWEN FORCED OFF FLOOR.
Senator Hitchcock Openly Opposes Any
Money Legislation at This Session
of Congress Plan to Open
Fight In House Friday.

Washington Aug. 6.-The first skir-
mish over currency legislation in the
senate served TO accentuate the divi-
sion of opinion among Democrats. Sen
ator Owen, chairman Of the banking
committee and sponsor for the admin
f istration bill in the upper chamber,
was forced off the floor by Senator

( he was attempting to reply on an at

ed by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska,
another Democrat. Senator Smiths
currency was before the senate forced
Mr.. Owen to yield, but he announced
he would reply to Mr.. Hitchcock's
3speech later.
Senator Hitchcock openly opposed
currency Legislation at this session Of
congress and especially the admins
tration bill introduced by Senator
UOwen. He had submitted a resolution
by the Democratic central committee

hte passage Of a currency bill

tor Hitchcock said, 81 desire to say

Tempt to pass any comprehensive cur
fency legislation in the expiring days

opposed to taking up the revolutionary

Not Urgent, Says Hitchcock.
Referring to the argument that cur
ency legislation was necessary to fore
tall a possible business disturbance.
enator Hitchcock said:
'1This argument is most fallacious. 1t
utterly out of the question to use
his bill as an emergency measure
ecause It will take at least year of
rganization to put it into effect after
IS passage. Those who think we can
ass it in one week and that on the
blowing week the country will have
poe, 100000 Of additional currency,
nth easy credit, are woefully mis-
- bken."

aders Smoothed the way for opening

sion was made by Mr. Underwood
