From School for Deaf.

Born deaf, blind, and dumb, with
the additional handicap of having but

maker, and has written several pa
pers of great merit on historical sub
jects.
Her triumph, however, came recent
ly, when she delivered her commence
ment essay by word of mouth.

TRY TO MAKE SHERIFF TELL
WHY HE DID 1T.
ARRESTED SIX U. S. OFFICERS
Refuse to plead and Are Put Into Jail
Government Men Who Took EIev-
en- Alleged Bootleggers Are Arrested
on Prisoners Complaint.

Muskogee, Okla, June 2S.-An order
was issued by the federal court here
this afternoon, commanding W. E. Nc
Cullough, sheriff of Tulsa county to
appear and show cause why he is
holding in custody Harry A. Larson,
of Denver, chief officer of the govern
ment in the suppression of the liquor
traffic and five of his deputies.
The order was made in a habeas cor
pus proceeding to secure the release
of Larson and his men. They are
charged with unlawfully holding up
and searching citizens and vehicles for
liquor at the Tulsa end of the bridge
across the Arkansas river Tuesday
night, at which time a caravan Of
farm wagons loaded with liquor was
captured by Larson and his men.
D. H. Limbaugh, United States dis
trict attorney, has called upon Gov
ernor Cruce,and Attorney General West
to cooperate in wiping out the traffic
at Tulsa. The governor has not re-
piled. AS a result Of the arrest Of
Larson and his men, the federal
authorities have declared relentless
war on the bootleggers of Tulsa
county. A clash with the state authori-
ties is expected.

QUICKSILVER BAD ON TEETH
Fumes Of Mercury Produce Salvation
and Miners Seldom Live More
Than Two Years.

Quicksilver miners follow the most
unhealthy trade in the world. The
fumes Of the mercury produce con-
slant salvation, and the system be-
comes permeated with the metal; the
teeth Of the unfortunate men drop out,
they lose their appetite, become ema-
ciated and, as a rule, seldom live long
er than two years.
Chloride of lime, employed by
bleachers, frequently destroys the
enamel and dentine of the teeth. But
phosphorus, used so largely In the
manufacture Of lucifer matches, az
fects a very large number of persons,
women, girls and children greatly pre-
ponderating.
People who work in soda factories
are affected by the teeth becoming
soft and translucent; they break off
close to the gums.
DR.. Hesse Of Leipsic states that ba-
kers are likely to suffer from decayed
teeth on account of the -four entering
the mouth during work collecting on
and around the teeth, where 1t decom-
poses and generates an acid destruc-
tive to dentine.

Is IT RIGHT TO ADVERTISE COCA
CoLA7

Men who play the willy game Of poll
tics have discovered that the best way
to distract the attention OF the public
from their own shortcomings Is to
make a loud-mouthed sensational at
tack upon someone else. AS the cut
fetish eludes its pursuer by clouding
the surrounding water with the con
tents of its ink sac, so the political ad
venturer takes advantage of the igno
rance and prejudices of the people to
escape from his indefensible position
by muddying the waters of public
opinion.
A case in point is the recent attack
made upon the religious press TO
carrying Coca-Cola advertising. ThiF
attack was made by politician '7hc

istry but who, having brought sui

tween Coca-Cola an coffee or tea is-
that the former contains only about
half as much caffeine a. the latter an6
that the flavor is different.
The question as to whether It Is right

itself therefore into the question as to
whether it is right to advertise coffee,

ages of the caffeine group.-Adv.

MILK CRUSADE SAVES BABES
Stations for Distributing Infant Food
Are Constantly Increasing In
Various Cities.

A constantly increasing number Of
cities of all sizes are establishing milk
stations and dispensing milk, whether
pure whole milk, certified, modified,
pasteurized or sterilized milk to
mothers of babies that must be bottle
fed. Some of the cities in which such
institutions are maintained are: AL
bany, Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo, Chi
cago Dayton. Detroit, Hartford, Homo
lulu, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Mo-,
Lawrence, Mass, Louisville, Lowell,
Milwaukee, Newark, New Bedford.
New Haven, New York, Peoria, Pitts
burgh, Providence, Rochester, St.
Louis, Springfield, o., Waterbury,
Wilkesbarre, Worcester, Yonkers,
Utica.
The milk station Is simply a room
sufficiently large to accommodate the
patrons and equipped with large ice
box, desk, some chairs and table.
AZ ordinary store is suitable for a
station and sometimes, as in the case
of the station at Utica, N. Y, a school
room may be used for the purpose.
The station is usually under the
charge of nurse, and physician is
In attendance at stated hours.

A curious little monument to French
red tape is to be seen at the Petit
Palais. The clock in the building has
marked the same hour for the last
13 years, although it is in perfect re.
pair. The explanation borders on the
ridiculous.
At the close OF the Paris exhibition
13 years ago a busybody of an Of
fetal stopped the clock for no other
reason than that the exhibition was
closing its gates. Since then 1t has
remained stationary, for the simple
reason that it does not appear on the
list Of clocks which the official clock
winder to the municipal council has to
attend to, and until some particularly
energetic member of the council at
tends to the matter the present state
of affairs is likely to continue.

One of the oldest Of jails is that at
Clifton, Graham county, Ariz., which
lies in one of the copper mining cen
ters of the new state. This Jail com
prises four large apartments hewn In
the side of a hill of solid quartz rock.
The entrance is situated in a boxlike
yestibule built Of heavy masonry and
the gates have three sets of steel bars
At intervals in the rocky walls holes
to serve as windows have been blast
ed and in these apertures series Of
massive bars of steel has been fitted
firmly in the rock. The floor of this
rockbound Jail is Of cement The
prisoners are confined wholly in the
larger apartments. In certain places
the wall of quartz about the jail is no
less than fifteen feet in thickness. So
solid and heavy are the barriers to
this institution that no prisoner has
ever attempted escape. - Harpers

Wireless LIahthouse Stations.

We have the horseless carriage,
wireless telegraph, smokeless powder,
etc, and now we are having the light
less lighthouse. Should the wireless
lighthouse stations installed at Brest,
France, which automatically send out
warning messages to ships every few
seconds without the help of man,
prove a success, as they are report
ed to be, 1t will mean that the old
system of lights, bells, horns and 9th
er danger warnings at sea will be rem
dered unnecessary. The lighthouse in
each case would act as an aerial mast.
BY simple clockwork arrangement,
which only needs attention once a
week or so, distinctive messages are
sent out by each station every few
seconds. One set of signals are sent
out by each station every few seconds.
One set of signals are sent out every
ten seconds and another set every 80
seconds, so that ships may positively
identify the lighthouse that is talk
ing.

Five Dead From Heat Wave.

Chicago, June 2S,-Five deaths and
numerous prostrations today were at
tributable to the heat wave, which
shows no signs of soon diminishing. At
p. m, the temperature was fraction
over SO, which, according to the
weather bureau, was almost as hot as
it was along the Ohio river. The
weather report said the warmest place
in the country was Pierre, S. D., where
the maximum temperature was 1914.
Free distribution of ice in some sec
tions of Chicago's crowded tenement
district helped reduce the suffering,
which was intensified by humidity

WILL REDUCE R. R. RATES.
Oklahoma 2-cent Fare to Be obeyed
Pending Court Decision.

Oklahoma City, June 2S-Two cents
mile will be the passenger charge
on all the larger Oklahoma railroads
after the first week in July. At a
conference between Attorney General
Charles West, representing the state,
and attorneys representing the rail
roads, which enjoined the state from
operating the law, an agreement to
return to the rate provided by the
Oklahoma constitution pending the
final settlement of the case in the
federal court was reached Friday. The
old rates will be placed in effect just
as soon as tariff sheets can be pre-
pared by the railroads.
No definite date was announced, but
1t is expected to take place during
the first part of July. 1t is agreed in
the stipulation signed by the repre-
sentatives of the state and the rail-
roads that the final trial of the case
on its merits shall not take place be-
fore January /, 1914.
The following railroads, through at
torneys, have signed the stipulation:
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, Gulf
Colorado and Santa Fe, Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific, St. Louis and San
Francisco, Missouri, Kansas and Texas
and the Kansas City Southern.
In January, 1910, an injunction was
granted by Judge w. C. Hook, sitting
for Judge j. H. Cotteral Of the west
ern district of Oklahoma, to the Santa
Fe, Missouri, Kansas and Texas, Kan
sas City Southern and Midland Valley
railroads restraining the state from en-
forcing the rate law calling for two
cent fare. The case was appealed to
the circuit court of appeals at St.
Louis and the decision of the lower
court was sustained. West carried the
case to the supreme court of the
United States, where it is still pend
ing.

Convict Made Pets of Mice.

An interesting story OF a convict
and his two pet mice is told in the
report Of Captain Hanson, the prison
commissioner of London.
Captain Hanson said the convict,
who was imprisoned at Parkhurst, had
two pet mice. but was ordered to an
other prison, where he was unable to
take his pets. Captain Hanson prom
ised to have them cared for and him
self went to the cell for the mice.
Never shall l forget the parting
scene" continued the officer THE
man took each of the mice, calling
them by name, kissed them and then
put them in little box he had lined
with flannel, and with them a piece of
bread and piece of cheese he had
saved"

"cuss" n II Helms.

The use of profanity, If it imparts
a feeling of satisfaction, is not con-
demned by leading professor of Eng
fish, H. c. Long, of the Carnegie In
stitute Of Technology.
This form of expression is artistic,
according to the professor, who sub
stimulates his ideas by pointing to the
reputation of George Washington,
who, he says, was an artist in pro
family.
Professor Long is quoted by the Tar
tan, the Carnegie tech" paper, as fol-
lows:
ITO become profane on trivial oc-
casions is surely to deprive this rem
edy for human ills of its virtue by de-
grading to inferior use. Washington's
reputation as a perfect and secure art
list in the profane was gained on two
or three occasions only, when he felt
the frenzy of great provocation."
