HALF MILLION
 IRON CROSSES

i According to the latest reliable es- inmates, the number of Iron Crosses distributed by the German military auth critics is now approaching the, half-million mark. Never before in the history of the world has there been such wholesale distribution of honors and there has been a disposi- ton in some quarters in Germany to criticise the lavishness of the govern ment in this regard. Some Teuton journalists have expressed the fear. that these symbols of valor will be- come so common as to lose all value, and will degenerate into a joke. AL Sready the humorous publications have shown a tendency in that direction, although their a1lusions, to escape the censorship, have necessarily been of a yelled and insinuating nature. The latest available figures give the num- Der of Iron Crosses fin circulation" as approximately 530,000, of which all but about 10000 are of the sec ond class. It is estimated that 15,- 900 pounds of metal have been used in the manufacture of these decora- tions. Half of the metal Is cast iron and half silver. Each cross is sus- pended from a ribbon, and about 87 miles of ribbon have been used for this purpose. As originally estab- lished by Frederick William III. dur ing the Napoleonic wars, the Iron Cross was very sparingiy distributed. and the possessor of one of the covet- ed decorations was honored above his fellowmen- In the Franco-Prussian
 war about 10000 persons were decor ated with this order. It Is no longer
 a mark of individual achievement, toI it is conferred upon all the member1
 of such military units as have dist. n. guished themselves. A. Fs.-N

 TODAY'S POEM
AS THE AUTUMN COMES.

All the waysides now are fiowerless;
 Soon the swallows shall be gone, And the Hamadryads bowerless,
 And the waving harvest done; But about the river sources
 And the meres, And the winding watercourses,
 Summer smiles through parting Like a ruby of the mosses
 Here the marish pimpernel, Glowing crimson, still embosses
 Velvet verdure with it's bell; And the scallop-leaved and splendid
 Si1ver-weed, By the maiden breezes tended,
 Wears her flowers of golden breed. rosy vagrant.
 Filings his garland on *he wave; Mint in midstream rises fragrant.
 Dressed in green and lilac brave ,. John Davidson.

NINON DE LENELOS

At the age of ninety, in the odor of |sanctity, Ninon de Enclos died in Paris 211 years ago to-day. Oct. IT, 1705. leaving behind her reputation which, thanks to Voltaire and Saint Eyre mond, will endure for all type time. He1 whole long life was the gayest of the gay in that licentious society which characterized seventeenth century Paris. In her latter years she was leader of fashion and the friend of wits and mSn of letters. In her salon were to be found ladies as we'll as gentlemen of the highest birth" as well as the most famous of the in- tellectuals of France. Moliere, Saint Evremond, the Abbe Chateauneuf and the young Voltaire were among the notabfes who gathered at her court and hailed her queen. Ninon owes a part of her posthumous fame to the old wit, Saint Evremond, who was one of the first of her lovers when both were in the heydey of youth, but she owes more to the youthful, dashing Arouet, who was presented to her as promising boy poet by the Abbe de Chateauneuf the young Arouet who was to become the world renowned Voltaire.
 AltnOugn Sne naO a long SuCCeSSlOH of lovers, including many of the most celebrated men of the age, Ninon was as free from cupidity as from hypoc- risy and untruthfulness. She never accepted pecuniary aid>from her lov- CTS, and. says Voltaire. 'ft required great ingenuity and much love on her part to induce her to accept presents" !"
 One of lNinon's sons. who received from his father, the Marquis de Ger say, the name of Villiers, was reared in ignorance of the fact that Ninon was his mother. At the age of nine- teen he fell wildly and passionately in love with Ninon, who had treated him, with great tenderness. and urged his love upon her with, such vehemeTce that she told him the secret of his birth. The poor victim of an unhal- lowed passion immediately blew out his brains. In spite of her well ad- vertised debauchery. Nnon numbered among her intimates many respect able wives of famous men, and Queen Christina of Sweden, during her resi- dence in France. was warmly attach ed to Ninon.

When old age carries with its hosts

ance of this worlds goods. it should be
as happy as any period of our exist
ence. That IS old age as 1t should be,
but too often it means poor digestion,
torpid bowels. a sluggish liver and a
general feeling Of i'll health, despond-
ency and misery. This condition can
be greatly alleviated, however, by talk
ing one of Chamberlain's Tablets each

Chef Of His Own Restaurant.
Hartman was Immediately removed
to the isolation ward connected with
the jail, There he told the story OF
his three years as a fugitive. In the
restaurant he ran in Chicago, Hart
man said; he was his own chef. but he
sold the place because he feared he
might spread the disease. He has been
known. as r. V. Mitchell and his wife
and l4-year- son have been with
him.
About three years ago Hartman. then
bartender in an Olive street saloon

dispensary. He said that he WOULD
rather be in the hospital than an out

restaurants where he had been served
he always broke the glass or cup from
which he drank for fear Of spreading

scribed he would have been cured.
