OId-Time Punishments

A mode of punishment in the early
days was that of performing penance
in church. Bishop Meade, in his His
tory of the Virginia Church." tells how
offenders would stand in church,
wrapped in white sheets, with white
wands in their hands. In 1851, in Sa-
lem, Mass, two women we're so
adorned in white and placed on stools
in the center of the aisle of the meet
ing-house, having on their heads a
paper bearing the name of their crime.
A popular punishment for the drunk
ard was to place him in large-sized
barrel, with the bottom removed, and
two places made on the sides for his
hands to come through, and the victim
Of Bacchus thus walked through the
streets with his head and legs alone
showing from huge barrel.

GAVE THEM OBJECT LESSON
German Audience Gathered to Learn
"How World 10 Deceived" and
They Found Out.

Germany, home of Kopernich and
its illustrious impersonators of mill
tary officers, still revels in impos-
lures. Here is the newest: Posters
stuck up all over the village of Dahl
dorf, near Halle, recently announced
How the World Is Deceived. 4"
About midday FIVE actors appeared
st the large hall of the village inn,
where the performance was to be
given, and after disposing of FIVE
course luncheon spent the afternoon
IN 7ehearsing and arranging the
properties.
AT the appointed hour the hall
vss well filed, and the people waited
very patiently for at least 80 min
utes. Noises from behind the cur
tain seemed to promise an early be-
ginning, and when the limelight was
turned on the promise seemed still
nearer the fulfllment. But the de-
LAY continued, and the audience
grew impatient, some of the men,
bers peeping behind the scenes and
others going to the door to see the
manager.
There was no manager and there |
was no one behind the scenes. The
i've actors had given a too realistic |
Tersion of "How the World Is De-

When One Hsars Man 80 Addressed
u 10 Not Safe to Assume He
10 q Physician.

Doctor probably means a physician
to you, and the title is widely and
generally used as descriptive of a
member of the medical profession,
says a writer in the American Boy.
Yet there are a great many "doc-
tors who know nothing of medicine.
In its technical sense doctor is a
university degree, the highest given.
1t is given in recognition of attain
ments in many branches of learn
ing, and so there are several kinds
of doctors. There is the familiar
M. d., doctor of medicine; the LII.
d., doctor of laws; the Phi. d., doc
tor of philosophy; the d. d., doctor
of divinity; the J.D., doctor of juris-
prudence; the d. d. s., doctor of
dental surgery, and many another.
So if you hear man referred to as
doctor you must find out what he
is doctor of before you can determine
to which profession he belongs.
Doctor of laws seems to have been
the earliest of the doctors degrees,
it having been awarded as early as
the twelfth century. Doctors of di-
vinity appeared somewhat later. 1t
was century before the now ia
niliar NJ. D. doctor of medicine)
,ame into use.

New England Man Bound for Salem
eoardsd Boston Express and Came
Back In Hurry.

A well-kmown citizen whose duties
take him to Salem daily, was the
victim of Observation-Disclosures last
week and admits that the laugh is on
himself. He generally takes the
special electric from his home which
reaches the station about $40
O'Clock, giving him about 10 minutes
to look over the news of the morn
ing before the train is due. On the
morning in question, soon after he
left his house friend in an auto
mobile overlook him and invited him
to ride to the station. He reached
the station a few minutes before
eight o'clock, and, purchasing a pa
per, went inside to look it over as
usual.
After he had been there the usual
time he heard train come in, and
not realizing that he was on hand
Is minutes or so earlier than usual,
went out and boarded the train. He
continued his reading and did not
notice that the train did not make
any stops until Salem tunnel was
reached, when he arose to leave.
Much to his surprise the train
showed no signs of coming to a stop,
and he remarked to the conductor,
who happened to be close by, aren't
we going to stop at Salem?"
mo-" was the response, "this is
an express which does not stop be-
tween Magnolia and Boston" It
suddenly dawned on the man that
he had not considered his early ar
rival at the Gloucester station, and
had taken the express and was being
carried through to Boston. By ma
king lively sprint on reaching
Boston, however, he was enabled to
get the nine o'clock Portland ex-
press back to Salem, and reached his
office less than half an hour late,
having made the trip from his home
1t East Gloucester to Boston and re-
urn to Salem in less than an hour
md half-Gloucester Times.

Judge Adamson, Chairman, Reiterates
Need for New Bridge Across
Mississippi
River.
NOTHING ABOUT RATES
This Question Must be Taken up In
the Proper Channels at
Washington Congress
man Says.

This afternoon several newspaper
men Questioned Judge Adamson about
the inspection. His committee came
to make physical examination. That
was the prime purpose and 1t was &C
complished In an expeditions and
pleasant manner Judge Adamson said
the committee had been most hospit-
ably cared for any every facility CIV
en- to make the inspection. The com
mittee did all 1t intended to do. He
said the two cities and the people on
both sides OF the river were entitled
to bridge, and that the present
bridge was not satisfactory or sufi-
cient. He had suggested to Mr.. Gill
man that it was proper for thu Keo-
kuk and Hamilton Bridge Co. to pre-
sent to his committee specifications
for a new bridge. The Judge said the
scheme to put a bridge on top of the
dam and across the forebay Was OPP
posed by the steamboat men on the
ground that 1t would be an obstruc-
ton to navigation.
Judge Adamson said that other
propositions might come before the
committee, the question of two co.por-
atoms using the same bridge being
one dificult to determine without
careful investigation. He was salts
fed a bridge was needed but whether
the Carnegie people or the Inter-City
Bridge Co. would build 1t he did not
know. He said the United Sta. es had
supreme control over navigation but
that congress gave consent to cor
porations to build bridges provided
navigation was not impeded.
He said the question of rates and
practices by the water power com
pany was an independent question
and would come up in Washington
later, that Rainey and Bartholdt had
taken the matter up and Ra ney asked
for an investigation. He said the sub
committee was at work on the general
dam act for amendment purposes. Mr..
A6amson said the purpose OF the gen
eral dam act was to encourage cor
porations to improve the nayigable
streams where the government did
not do SO.
1t was stated today that Mr.. Gilman
said his company offered to rebuild
the present bridge as soon as traffic
demanded 1t but 1t was judge Adam
sons opinion that the bridge should
be put in position to invite traffic
The river men had offered some OBJ
| jections to the Inter-City bridge but
| it might be possible to remove them
by enlarging the proposed span and
make some other alterations. Judge
! Adamson asid that If the present
bridge was rebuilt 1t should be a
double carriage and double track
structure. He did not commit himsell
] as to his attitude.
Judge Adamson made his first trir
to Chicago on this trip. His commit
tee does about five times the amour,
of work OF any other committee and
1t is quite difficult for MIN to gel
away.

the people Of the two cities in their

something will be required from the
