SNAPS HER JAW YAWNING.
But Hospital Physicians Twist j,
Into Place Again.

Philadelphia. Aug. Mrs. Mary Glass,
OF 1910 Spangle street. will be very care
full in the future about INDUCING in the
luxury of yawning. If she yawns al all
1t will be necessary when talking to a
particularly boresome person. or when
she is very. very sleepy. and even then it
will be mild yawn.
This IS the reason: Mrs. Glass allowed
herself the luxury of a deep. ferocious
yawn last night as she was preparing for
bed. Then she let out a yell that caused
her husband to dash into the room. Glass
saw she was suffering, called a patrol
wagon and had her taken to the Poly
clinic Hospital Physicians said she had
ydwned SO wide she had snapped her jaw
out of place. Doctor Finkler and three
physicians worked over her until the jaw
snapped back in place.

Few schools now rely entirely upon
examinations as test for promotion. In
some schools examinations are made to
count one-half, while in others they
count only one-fourth.
1T is now recognized that examina-
tons are not true tests of the pupil
ability to do the next grades work, and
that a pupil Should not be promoted on
what he knows. but on what he can do.

now depending on examinations much

How pupils shall be classified so they
may advance through the grades with
out loss of time is a question that is

Deffenbaugh. and some cities are under
taking special experiments in this field.

A Kansas City dispatch of April

Orders for $1,000 mules for use in
the British army has been placed
with local livestock dealers by agents
of the British government, according
to announcements made today. The
orders are for delivery covering the
next six months.
The animals are to assembled at
Grand Island, Nebr., and shipped
from there to the seaboard in Canada,
it was asserted.
British renount officers announced
also that inspection headquarters
would be removed temporarily from
Kansas City to Denver. This will be
done, it was pointed out, that buyers
may invade the range territory while

three appeared at the quarto- centen-
nial-Bros. Moulton, Baker and the
writer. Bro. Watson was absent as
noted above, aud Bro. Smith was en-
route home from California.
At the time the lodge was organ
Mason present; he had helped to
organize and was the first Master of
the lodge at Fort Collins; by unani-
nous consent, it was resolved to con-
fer the same honor on him here.
Brother Moulton was the second
Master. He was the real inspiration
of the movement which led to the
institution of Masonry in Northwest
ern Colorado. Tireless and Masoni-
caliy able, he did practically all the
important work" for many years.
The honor of being third Master
was conferred on James Lyttle.
The first candidate raised to the
sublime degree of Master Mason
was Rev. Arthur L.. Williams, the
first rector of st. James church, and
now bishop of Nebraska. The second
was Charles S. Attix, who died many
years ago in Arizona. These two
names, with the eleven dispensation
members noted, form the charter roll

That the work of the pioneer

stitution at Meeker-one of the finest
and most prosperous in the West.

Macedonia Sdrs East

Paris, Sept. 2O.-Dispatches from
Sofia announcing the mobilization
there of troops made up of residents
of Macedonia has caused another COM
plication to be introduced into the Bal
kan situation, which already was test
ed through the presentation by the
entente allies Of the joint note requir-
ing Bulgaria to define her attitude.
The mobilization of Macedonia has
caused surprise and indignation in Of
ficial and diplomatic circles here, as
it is declared that the whole purpose
of the present negotiations between
the allies and Bulgaria and Serbia is
to determine whether Macedonia be-
longs to Bulgaria or to Serbia. That
Bulgaria should mobilize Macedonia
while the future Of Macedonia was
still an issue. is declared in the high
est Serbo-Greek quarters to be an af-
front to the allies and the other Bal
kan states.
1t is understood that the allies joint
note Of last week was accompanied by
a verbal request to M. a.. Boslavoff,
the Bulgarian premier, for reply "at

sYkEsToN HAS BAD FIRE LOSS

Sykeston, N. D., Sept. 20. - r. j.
Atkinson's harness and furniture
store was on fire. Chemicals were
used but did no good, then the hose
from the Lewis building fire pump
was used but the fire had gained such
q headway that the Atkinson building
could not be saved and attention was
given the News and postofice build
ings. The constant stream Of water
on these buildings kept them from
burning. It was thought at first the
News Office was doomed but the fire
was extinguished after several hours
Of hard fighting. The Atkinson build
ing and contents were entirely de-
stroyed with a loss Of about $4,000,
partially covered by insurance. The
News office and contents were dam
aged to the extent Of about $3.50 COW
cred by insurance. Mr.. Atkinson has
not decided what he will do but it is
probable that he will rebuild. The
News Office will be fixed up and bust,
ness continue. The origin Of the
fire is unknown. 4.
