Bay Rum,

Bay rum is manufactured from the
dried leaves Of PimentO acris. Bay
rum is procured by distillation, and
this in a very simple manner. The
leaves are picked from the trees and
then dried. In this state they are
placed in the retort, which is then fill
ed with water, and the process OF dis
tillation is carried on. The vapor is
then condensed in the usual way and
forms what is known as bay OIL" a
very small quantity Of which is re-
quired for each puncheon OF rum.

Reseuins Napoleon by Submarine.

Rescuing Napoleon by Submarine.
In his book on submarines Frederick
A. Talbot tells us that the submarine
is practically as old as the sailing
ship" though he passes the fact over
with the statement that the majority
of these efforts were fantastic in con-
ception and crude in design.
The most daring expedition ever sug-
gested in the early days of the subma-
rine was that proposed for kidnapping
Napoleon from st. Helena. 1t was

Why No HadIey Boom7

WASHINGTON, d. c.. May "a.
Isn't il odd that no Hadley

favorite son booms that are in

certain extremely progressive
person, who is an important fig

No; it isn't odd" was TN re-

was among the progressives, and
after the republican convention

HOUSE IS
SAVED BY
BABY BOY

A two-and|a-half baby boy was
the fireman who saved the home
OF H. e. Whitmore, 5220 South L
street, from destruction by fire
Monday afternoon.
He was Roy Hartman Pinker-
ton, son of Editor Roy D. Pinker-
ton of The Times.
Little Roy Hartman was visit
ing his grandmother, Mrs. Henry
d. Pinkerton, when 1t happened.
He was standing at the window
watching the rain drops outside,
when suddenly he pointed ex-
citedly to the roof of the house
next door.
Look, grandma, on the roof"
he cried to her.
Grandmother knew of the boys
fondness for waving flags, and
she thought at first he was point
ing to a flag on nearby school
house.
But he, like many other boys,
was too excited for it to be a
mere flag.
Its a fire." he exclaimed.
And 1t was. The flames, evil
IDENTIFY caused from the chimney,
were making rapid Roadway, and
were sheltered from the rain.
The alarm was given to the
people next door and Whitmore
hoisted a ladder and put the fire
out with buckets of water.
