thing to do. to carry one, as l have al
ways liked tC do so. Mine is 4 little
ebony affair, with a silver tip, and
braided cord fastened on, SO that l
may slip it over my wrist if I chose.
There are all varieties to be found in
the shops, this spring, and some of
the most attractive are modelled on
those which the English Tommy has
always carried, when in uniform.
They are smart little sticks of bam-
boo, with a silver cap, and are short
and slim, and no help at all to the
real pedestrian. I like a real cane,
that is some use, if my walk leads me
off the beaten track.
"This season of the year, before it
grows too hot and dusty, is ideal for
my favorite exercise. A long walk ev-
cry few days keeps me in splendid
condition, and may eat what 1 like,
without fear of growing too stout for
the pitilesS screen. My last picture,
"The FIashlight Girl" was made in
the woods, and there I could indulge
my fancy while other scenes were be-
ing filmed. Mr.. StOwell and / enjoyed
some splendid rambles.
"Walking clothes should be light,
comfortable, and dust proof, and the
ideal should be to find something in
which one looks as neat at the end of
the expedition as at the beginning"

tentiOn.
AS Jimmie Dolan, a lightweight who
has taken advantage of the French
craze for American boxing to invade
Paris in the hope of making his for
tune, he has to do all the stunts which,
in a play, he would be content to con-
verse about. First he is knocked out
in a bout with Spider" Flynn, played
by Francis Mcdonald, who is appear
ing in the serial ''The Voice on the
Wire," and then he has to perform
the same operation upon his adver-
sary. When the scene shifts to train
ing quarters Jack has to demonstrate
his ability with the punching-bag in
stead of merely staggering about in
sporting togs, as the stage hero might
do.
can audience in the theater is per-
fectly satisfied if the rest of the char
acters talk about the wonderful Prov
ess of the hero as d swimmer, a boxer,
runner or hOrseman," continues Jack,
"but in a picture house the hero would
not stand chance of sympathy from
the spectators if all he had to explain
his deeds of daring was lot of sub
titles. If he's supposed to be a boxer,
he's got to prove it. Francis McDOn-

NEWSPAPER OF 1S4S.
FOUND in JACKSON
frank Caldwell Discovers Aged
Paper in Dentist Chair Owned
by DR.. Moone.

A newspaper printed on August 27
1S48 at Princeton, N. j., was brought
to light yesterday by County Collec-
tor j. Frank Caldwell, while he was
wreckng an old dentist chair, once
used by DR.. Moon, one of the Oldest
dentists of Southeast Missouri. The
paper was a copy of the princeton
Whig," endorsing the election of Presi-
dent Taylor and Vice President FL
more in that year.
The newspaper, yellow and torn by
the wear of time, was found under the
upholstering of the dentist chair which
belonged to Mrs. Albion Caldwell, a
granddaughter of the late dentist. II
had been taken to the county collec-
tors home when his son and family
moved to Washington, D. c., several
weeks ago.
The head lines of the issue called all
who wanted Taylor and Fillmore cleo
ted to a mass meeting at Princeton.
1t was addressed to a Mrs. Winters
or Winter, the correct name could not
be deciphered.
DR.. Moon purchased the DENTS:
chair shortly after his graduation
from dental college in 1850. He was
the father of Mrs. Julien Peironn.s
and Miss Nettie Moon of the Cape,
and Mrs. Anna Limbaugh of Jackson
He was also the grandfather of Mrs.
julien Miller, and was said to be the
first dentist in Cape Girardeau COUNT.
He was prominent man of his time.
1t is assumed that the paper was
pushed under the upholstering of the
CHAIR and remained there without the
knowledge of the first owner.

Surface Signs May Be Missing.

The correspondent was told of three
cases in the last fortnight in which
submarines were thus destroyed. In
many instances, no doubt, submarines
are destroyed without any visible indi-
cation above the water Of their loss.
Still others are badly crippled, as in
the case of the damaged German U
boat which was recently interned in
Spain.
Another submarine which will never
return to Germany was sunk under Pc
culiar circumstances q short time ago
This U-boat torpedoed ship bound
from the United States. 1t is extreme
ly unwise and unsafe to fire torpedo
at such close range, but the U-bOats
must take their targets as they get
them these days. The torpedoed ship
was loaded with cargo of heavy war
material and the explosion was so for
chile that it blew large piece Of
heavy material through the deck Of the
ship and dropped it on the submarine
as the latter was submerging. The hull
of the submarine was crushed like an
eggshell and she sank with all on
board.

TWOATTORNEYSARE
FINEDFOR CONTEMPT
Counsel In Coal Graft TrialssAt
Jefferson City Must Pay
so Fine

JEFFERSON CITY, Nov. 27.-As a
climax TO the prosecution of John "
Scott, former commissioner of the
permanent seat of government, on
graft charges in the sale of state
coal, Circuit Judge Slate this after
noon held Lee B. Ewing of Nevada,
specia, counsel for the attorney, gen.
erai in the prosecution and Assistant
Attorney General S. P. Howell, guilty
of contempt. He fined each $50 and
committed them to Jail upon their re-
fusal 70 pay the fines. They were al
lowed time to make application to a
Judge of the Supreme Court for writs
of habeas corpus.
When court was convened in the
afternoon the case against Scott
wherein it is alleged he sold fourteen
tons of state coal last May to Viii
liam Koecher, saloonkeeper and did
not pay the state, was the first of five
remaining indictments called. There
was a consultation about the judges
desk in'which attorneys for the state
asked if they would be permitted to
introduce witnesses to show Scott had
sold Other parties state coal. The
Judge told them he would not per-
nit such evidence.
Ewing notified the court he would
file an application for change of ven
ue in ali cases not disposed of or con-
tinued. He was given time to prepare
his application, contending the court
was prejudiced. Judge Slate locke /
the application over and denied it. He
then warted to know if the state Were
ready to proceed.

Activity of Destroyer Conveys Is
Producing Most Satisfactory Re-
subsidiaries Taken From u
Boat Commanders Furnish Doc
umentary Evidence of Effective
ness of DeStrOyer's Perfect Con-
voy Work.

Base Of the American F1otiIIa In
British Waters.-Diaries taken from
captured U-boat commanders furnish
documentary evidence that the de-
stroyer is the most effective of present
weapons against the submarine.
Avoided destroyer" is the oft-repeated
entry. In fact, these logs show con-
clusiEely that the submarines are hay
ing hard time Of 1t.
The result Of the destroyer activity
during the last four weeks has been
not only a decrease in casualties of
merchant ships but also a still more
satisfactory increase in the number of
submarines sunk.
Conveying AZ an Offensive.
The conveying Of merchantmen has
now reached q stage almost of perfec-
ton, after many months work In train
ing both the officers of merchant ships
and the personnel Of the patrol flOtil-
las. While systematic conveying was
undertaken primarily as defensive
measure, 1t has now developed that
conveying Is at the same time the best
offensive measure yet devised against
the U-boat.
The offensive side of conveying may
best be shown by an illustration:
When q submarine tries to torpedo a
conveyed ship-as submarines are now
compelled to do owing to the infre-
quency of unconvoyed shipplng-there
is always a destroyer on the scene, and
the chances of the destroyer's "get-
ting" that particular submarine are
correspondingly increased. The wake
Of torpedo is generally seen by the
destroyer's lookOuts, and 1t gives a
good line on the direction where the
submarine is lying. The destroyer I'M
mediately steers a course full speed
In the line shown by the wake Of the
torpedo and drops repeated depth
charges along this course.
In considerable proportion of cases
this proves effective, for these depth
charges cause serious commOtion over
a considerable radius

CATTLE BUYER IS
BADLY STABBED
in STREET FIGHT
Frank Mcdonald Cut on
Face Twice and Stabbed =.
in Back.
JOHN JOHNSON HELD
ON CUTTING CHARGE
Had Argument Over Price Of
Cows-Johnson Denies He
Had Knife.

An argument over the sale of some
cows lee to the serious cutting of
Frank Mcdonald, a local live stock
dealer yesterday afternoon. He. was
slashed across the left cheek twice,
and once on the chin. He was also
stabbed in the left side of the back
above the kidneys. DR.. R. P. Dalton
who dressed the injuries said it re-
quired % stitches to sew up the
wounds in McDonald's face.
According to the witnesses McDon-
aid, John Johnson, Charles Wright and
w. A. Juden, all cattle dealers, met on
Broadway between Main and Water
and engaged in an argument over
some COWS which all four We're trying
to buy. One attempted to outbid the
other on the sale price.
One of the men, the witnesses say,
called him some vile names and chal-
lenged Mcdonald TO fight and
the latter accepting the invitation,
handed his cane to a bystander. Nc
Donald was struck from the rear with
the cane and stunned and at the same
time Johnson, the witnesses say. seized
Mcdonald around the neck. When the
two were separated Mcdonald was
bleeding from several gashes in the
face.
johnson was arrested by Policeman
Hutson who was attracted by the com
motion and taken to the city jail,
where he gave bond fer his appear
ance in court. He told the police he
did not know who did the cutting,
and denied he had used a l-nife during
the struggle.
The other tyo men were ret ares
| ted.
Policeman HutSon who investigated
the affray, said he learned from wit
nesses that johnson had welded the
knife after Mcdonald had struck John
son with his cane. He was standing
on the corner of Broadway and Main
street, when the fight took place, but
the men had been separated before the
policeman reached the men.
johnson is about IS years old. He
has been buying cattle in the county
for many years and is we'll known
among the farmers Of the county and
of the southeastern section Of the
state.
Mcdonald is a brother of James Nc
Donald, county superintendent Of
schools, and prominent in Democratic
politics. Although the physician adj
vised him to go to the hospital he re-
! fused to so and went home.
DR.. Dalton said that although Me-
DOnald'S injuries are serious, his con-
dition was not dangerous
Wright disappeared after the af-
| fray. The police searched the vicini-
ty and inquired of his friends as to his
whereabouts but were unable to learn
where he had gone. Juden. witnesses
say, took no part in the fight but had
been a mere bystander He is en-
ployed by Johnson.

Here's A Brand
New Joke on the
Ford Automobile
Fred Groves Springs an Un-
told Tale of Looie and His
Tin Lizzie.

There are nearly as many jokes as
there are Ford automobiles in circu-
lation but Fred Groves, the local Ford
man, is telling a new one. This is it:
"'Over in Ohio, where no home is
complete without a Ford, an old man
was told that his end had come. He
had his will written and told his
friends bood-bye. He then beckoned
to his wife. She stepped up to his bed
side and leaned forward to hear his
message.
BURY my Ford with me- he gasp
ed. His wife, astonished at the unusual
request, replied, Why, Looie, you are
becoming unconscious. You don't want
to be buried with that old machine
"'Yes, / do the old man whispered
1T has never failed to pull me out Of
a hole, and l believe it will drag mi
out Of this one"
Another joke circulated about tn
Ford by rival automobile last sea
son, created many laughs, but it als'
advertised the Ford. 1t follows:
A business man had ordered hi
chauffeur to drive the Ford out il
front OF the house. After quite della!
he went to the rear of the house t
ascertain the cause of the trouble. H
found his chauffeur climbing a tai
poplar tree. "Why, what's matter wit
you, any way, Chester" asked the boss
"I'm going up after that Ford" re
piled the chauffeur.
How'd that machine get up in tina
tree?" retorted the business man, an
! grily.
"Why, l was cranking it and
slipped" came the reply.
