MURBERG "HIGH."

Sven E. Murberg, former alderman from the Fifth district, and elected a justice of the peace on the Republican ticket at the recent election, Tipped a coin with Assistant Town Clerk Clar- ence F. Winton today and won as high man of the ticket. On the voting ma- chimes he was paired" with "Cooney" Winton and each received 10,138 votes the highest vote received by any of the candidates for office. MT. Murberg, who now conducts sub-station post office, grocery store and meat market is the first candidate to file his cam paign expense account. The Mayor of Black Rock ayers that he spent nothing. He did not even make a contribution to the Republican cam paign fund The idea of Tipping the coin was to decide who might claim the highest vote.

Censoring Shakespeare,

A masterpiece of censorship was once performed by the Turkish censor Nischan Effendi, on the occasion of the production Of Shakespeare's ssOthel- To" at Constantinople. He corrected the drama so thoroughly as to leave hardly trace of the original Among other words, he expunged Cyprus 2 giving ingenious reasons for this cor rection. Cyprus" he said, lis Turk ish island. It would be politically un- wise to send Othello to Cyprus, be cause the territorial integrity of Fur key is guaranteed by treaties. Why not put, instead of Cyprus, some Greek island, such as Corfu?" And thus it came to pass that from respect to the treaty of Paris Othello had to go to Corfu.

In the machine which carried him
 to his home were James Rofrano, Ge- ronimo, Maurice Simmons and Max
 we'll Harris, RofranO's former law
 partners, and Detectives Gorevan and
 McManus. A police car which fol-
 lowed carried Capt. Deevy of the First
 Branch Bureau and half a dozen plain
 clothes men.
 The news of the acquittal spread to
 the Second Assembly District faster
 than the automobile travelled. Boys rushed from store to store shouting, Mike is out.''
 Flags Flew From Houses. By the time the released man reach
 ed his home there was a crowd out side almost as big as that which had
 greeted him at the criminal courts
 building. This time not his attorney, but he, was cheered as mayor. Flags appeared from windows along Oliver street. Half an hour after the verdict the thoroughfare looked as it does on an Italian holiday. Waiting for Rofrano at home were | his five children, all girls. But he had only a few minutes in which to
 caress them before the crowd began to pile in. Automobiles drew up and
 men alighted and demanded Mike. Some brought bottles of wine in which to drink his health. Late in the afternoon Rofrano fn- vited reporters into room and came | to them with Mrs. Rofrano. 1T don't know why it is," he said, "but for some reason my counsel has 1 bottled me up and told me I must not 1 talk. And I always obey orders But I am going to say this: l never had | the least doubt as to what the verdict would be. Even when the jurors came in last night and asked if they could bring in a verdict of murder in the second degree I did not lose my copfi- dence.
 "If when I stood up at the bar to- day I seemed to be emotionless, 1t was because I was fully conscious that whatever the verdict of the jury
 might be, between myself and my
 Maker was innocent. I diG not fear death. What wanted was vindica- ton. God knows am glad to be back here"
 The acquittal of Rofrano probably means that the two Brondinis and Curica, who were indicted for murder
 on the same evidence that Rofrano faced, will not have to stand trial.
 MT. Swann said that this question
 will not be settled definitely until
 after Ar. Brothers has returned from
 a short rest in the mountains.

Correct Pronunciation.

A study of individual accommodations suf1ces to show that many accepted rules of speech exist only in ina gina tion and are regularly broken-very of ten unconsciously-even by those who delight in laying down the rules. Dan iel Jones, one of our leading authori- ties on English pronunciation, tells an amusing story in support of this state ment. He had remarked that most ed ucated people pronounce always as if 1t were written 'orlwiZ." One state ly old dame was horrifed at the idea and repudiated the mere thought. She summed up the whole discussion by de claring, with an air of finality, "Per- sonally orlwiz say always The only test of what is correct in pronun- citation is t0sfind out what is the gen eral practice of educated ple.zLon- don Standard

In Velvety Bolivia Cloth.

terms to apply to this coat of soA velvety Bolivia cloth. It is double breasted effect that may have thu front closed to the neck or rolled bacl to form revers. The one-piece sleeve have deep cuffs as their logical trim ming and wide, straight belt hold in the fitness at the waist. In med ium size the coat requires 4 yards 54 inch material.
 With the exception of the belt, al of the sections of the pattern marked by triple "TTT" perforations ma, be laid on a 1engthwise fold of thl cloth when cutting the coat. The beh is laid on either crosswise or length wise fold, as fancy dictates. Aftel the material has been folded and plac cd on the cutting table, place thu front section into position, the lint of large stO' perforations resting ol a lengthwise tfnead. To the right oa this, directly against the selvage ii the piecing for the front. The eollal is laid next to tho back, both on tn lengthwise fold, thea comes the eu3 with largo 70" peEforakions on lengthwise thread, and the undgrfac ing above the collar, cuff and steeve with its straight edge running para1 Tel with the selvage. The large 'eDN perforations of the sleeve are laid oa a lengthwise thsead of the cloth.

ApopIexy Days.

It is the lethargic, full blooded, thick and short necked subject who eats and drinks more than is good for him and who does not take sufficient exer- else who most frequently falls vic tim to apoplectic seizures, according to the New York Medical Journal. Quoting Dr. F. Barlow, it says, "The majority of seizures occur on Sunday or Monday. owing probably to the greater indulgence in the joys of the table on the day of rest and the slight increase in excitement consequent on the return to business"
 Big eaters and cocoa drinkers are just as liable to it as heavy drinkers Alcohol is frequently made the scape- goat for an attack of this character, when really excessive eating is to blame."
 It is easier to prevent than to cure apoplexy. Moderation in eating and drinking and regular action of the bowels are the very best preventives.

A Change In John.

"John proposed to me in the first car he ever owned, and our wedding jour ney was made in a new automobile that he bought especially for the pur- pose"
 "Was it any different from ordinary automobiles?
 "No, but it was a strange thing about the places to which we went Some of them seemed perfectly wonderful to me, but John never took the least bit of interest in any of them. That was four years ago. We have just been making another tour of the same places" /
 q suppose they brought back all the sweet romance of your honeymoon
 ''I shall never want to take that trip again. John was so interested in ev- erything and so enthusiastic over ev- cry old hill and hollow and rock that could have put on a new hat and new suit every morning and he'd never have noticed the difference" Albany Knickerbocker Press.

eankino te..on For wom.,.

A certified check is your own check, across the face of which the bank has stamped the word Certified" meaning that it guarantees payment. When a check is certified it is at that time charged up to your account and the money held out by the bank to pay the check when it is presented. A certified check is required where valuables or papers are delivered in exchange for a check. Also they are often held to make good certain transactions. A cer- tified check is accepted the same as money and is much safer to carry, as 1t is no good until indorsed. If you should have a certified check and later decide not to use, it do not destroy the check. but take it to your bank and de- posit it to your own credit. This is very important.

Cipher alid Zero.

Did you know that the words "cipher" and zero" came from the same>Ara bic original? Of course you know that they commonly mean the same thing, but they don't at all look as if they had the same root
 It came about in this way: The Arabic word was "sifr." The old Latin treatises on arithmetic took this word from the Arabic, but Latinized it into "zephyrum." The Italians contracted this into "zefro.' We knocked the two middle letters ogt and still further shortened it to zero" The French, on the other hand, contracted the Latin term into "cifre,'' thus getting nearer to the Arabic.
 And since the English language has always taken what it wanted from the French-whether it was needed or not we took this word, changing it's spell ing to "cipher."
 We have differentiated the meanings of the two words, now; zero means nothing and cipher means the char acter for nothing.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
