John Nephew, Charged with Embezzlc-
ment, Valves Examination.

John Nephew was arraigned in city
court yesterday on the charge of

and came to this part of the country
from New Hampshire for the purpose
who was enticed TO take liquor which
made him drunk and he was soon in the
clutches Of the law. He said it was the
first time he was ever in court and he
asked the judge to give him a chance.

continue the case for thirty days, with
the understanding that the respondent

LOGIC OLE ANTI-sUFFRAGIsM


Il have long tried to grasp the logic of
anti-suffragism. If-as Is maintained by
woman anti-suffragis great major

that great majority will not bother them
selves to use 1t when it is given them, for
there is no compulsion in this matter. II
women, in tine mass, are and always VIII
be-as is alleged-absorbed by domestic
interests why should they dread seduc-
ton from their proper functions? IT, In
fact, the vote Is a paltry addition to wom-
ans life, why this fear of the vote on the
part of those so certain that women have
no use for it? IT, on the other hand, the
vote is a worthy addition to woman's life'
how can any woman in her senses oppose
the grant of it?
Again, if--as is alleged by men anti
suffraGists-men are by nature, politically
speaking, superior to women, then, vote
or no vote men must always take the
lead IN politics. Why then this fear
among men of granting the vote to wom-
en-? Why this timidity on the part of
such as are convinced that nature has
given them a lead of which they cannot
be dspossessed? IT, on the other hand,
women are by nature the political equals
Of men, 1t must be OBVIOUS even to men
that they ought in Justice to have the
vote.

3 KILLED, | INJURED
IN AUTO DISASTER
|. 7. Boyd, C. Forsyth and Mrs,
Alice Murray Meet Death,

MILWAUKEE,, = Lloyd T. Boyd,
fifty-three years old, one of the owners
of the Milwaukee Journal, and Charles
Forsyth, forty-eight, head of a local
leather company, were killed; Mrs.
Alice Murray, who resided at the Caro-
line flats, was so severely injured she
died few hours later, and Miss Ely
sial A. Thomas, superintendent of an
East Side hospital, was slightly in
jured as the result of an automobile
accident on the Kilbourn road sew
eral miles south of Milwaukee.
Mr.. Forsyth and Mrs. Murray were
sitting in the front seat while Mr..
BOyo and Miss Thomas were sitting in
the rear. The front wheels struck a
rut and the machine turned over, &C
cording to the story told by Miss
Thomas. Mrs. Murray and Mr.. Forsyth
were held i'll the seat and buried I'M
der the wreckage, Mr.. Forsyth being
instantly killed Mr.. Boyd was caught
under the rear wheel. Miss Thomas
was thrown clear of the machine and
in this manner escaped with slight in

Both the men were well known in

"SIeepinu" Bullets.

The distance which a bullet travels
is divided into three parts. The first
distance the bullet travels in a wabbly
manner, either up and down or side
wise; the middle distance it sleeps
or moves on an exact plane, and the
third distance, being partly spent. it
wobbles in a serpentine movement
again. When the bullet sleeps" it
cuts a clean hole through the part of
the body hit. but when it is on the
first or final distance it tears jagged
hole and moves either up or down and
is likely to remain in the body, When
the battle range is regulated in such
a manner that the line of soldiers is
exposed to the range Of the sleeping
bullets there is less work for the am
bulance corps.-Chicago Tribune.

Goats the Monkeys Wear.

Have you ever wondered why nearly
all the monkeys which accompany the
foreign organ boys should be dressed
in a red coat with d sort of jockey
cap?
The explanation is very simple. This
costume is no fancy one, but is an al
most exact copy Of the winter dress
worn by the organ boys fathers in the
distant valley of Piedmont. where the
peasants usually wear red coat. rude
ly cut. with very stiff little tails. and
knickerbockers and jockey cap of the
same color.
These clothes are spun and woven
by the peasants and dyed red with the
madden which grows in the valleys.
The long roots are boiled, then mixed
with alum and tartar. and the result is
a red dye, which. though not very
bright. does not fade. The monkeys
coats are made Of the bits which are
left over when the peasants coat is
cut Philadelphia Inquirer.

The Seals Ventilator.

Not many people know how the seal
of the far north gets air when the Arc
tic ocean is entirely covered with many
feet of ice.
The small spotted seal. which is a
hair seal and not a fur bearer, is the
hardy dweller of the northern waters.
Under his tough. thick skin he has an
inch or more of blubber. When the
ice closes up the open water in the
Arctic the seal selects a spot and be-
gins to drill a hole to the surface by
pressing his warm nose against the
ice. Nobody knows how many hours
it takes him to accomplish his task.
but be manages it. and. although he
is obliged to work most Of the time be-
cause the surface of the hole is con-
tinually freezing. be keeps it open all
winter and obtains air. Seals have
been known to drill in this manner
through fifty feet of solid ice. Wheth-
er or not they take turns in the slow
drilling is not positively known. 1t is
at these seal holes that the polar
bear seeks food in the winter and there
the Eskimo waits. spear in hand. for

fers to the unpopularity Of hangmen
in those days. Commissioner PETIT,
who had travelled, told Pepys "hOw
despicable a thing it is to be hang
man in Poland. although it is place.
of credit, and that in his time there
were some repairs to be made Of the
gallows there. which was very fine, OF
stone, but nobody could be got to mend
it till the burgomaster or mayor of the
town. with all the companies of those
trades which are necessary to be used
about those repairs, did go in their
habits with flags in solemn procession
to the place, and there the burgomas-
ter did give the first blow with the
hammer upon the wooden work and
the rest of the masters Of the compa-
MES upon the works belonging to their
trades that so workmen might not be
ashamed to be employed upon doing
of the gallows work"
