JUST HOLDING PALS PLACE
"Blind" Beggar Gives Somewhat
LaughabIe Reason for His Presence
on That Particular Corner.

Professor Walker was standing al
the corner of One Hundred and Tenth
street and Fifth avenue waiting for q
bus, when his attention was attracted
by the rattle of few coppers in tin
cup held by blind man who was squat.
ted against the park wall, relates the
New York Times
The professor was fumbling for a
small coin when the bus swung round
the corner and in his hurry to catch
it he tossed the penny toward the cup
as he turned away. His aim not be-
ing good the coin was on it's way to the
ground when the beggar swung the cup
untler it with all the skill and dexter
ity of ball player.
The professor was so astonished and
indignant that he allowed the bus to
go and approached the pretended blind
man.
"Here," he began, "you are not blind.
l saw you catch that penny. You are
a fraud"
Eyes, boss" admitted the beggar,
you has 1t right. amt blind myself,
but you see this here corner is good
stand and if the blind man that always
sits here was to leave 1t some other
blind man would see the place and
grab it. So you see, boss, I'm just
holding the place for the real blind
man. It's his afternoon off. He's

Beavers Teach Engineers.

A group of Uncle Sans army ensi-
neers received an unexpected lesson
in engineering at Bronx park. They
learned In the space Of one hour how
to repair a broken dam and prevent
disastrous flood. Their instructors
were nine beavers, who were romping
in the water Of the pond. Above them
was dam 200 feet long and several
feet high. Suddenly came rush Of
water. The swollen stream broke
into torrent. Old man Beaver ap-
pealed to his offspring and the eight
sprang after him. They seized pieces
Of timber, earth, rocks and sod. They
worked with feverish haste. Stone by
stone and timber by timber the wa
ter was slowly held back. One hour
after the water broke the dam was re-
paired. IF we can hold the Huns
like those chaps stopped that flood of
water the war will be over in six
months" commented one Of the off.
GERS. IT reckon science hasn't taught
us so much, after ALL" said bystand-
err. "Those beavers know more about
their speciality than we do about war
or building canals."-New York Trib-
une.

Gas Masks and Whiskers.

To be clean shaver or bearded like

to the German first-line troops. The
reason is the gas mask. Some au.

mask acts as an additional air filter.

Non-partisans did not cast the vote
at the primaries they expected, these
leaders of socialism and anarchy
must be fought to the last ditch fol
men to go out and organize the
farmers or anyone else on a commits
sion basis of 81 per head. When this
is no longer profitable, their damn:
able work will cease in Idaho and
their Misrepresentation and sedi.
tious utterances will be thing of the
past.
1t is not strange that some mis-
takes have been made in this mighty
struggle; it is not strange that some
things have been left undone that
should have been done, but when the
the last shot has been fired and the
smoke of battle has cleared away,
this country will show the greatest
for doing things in this war that the
world has ever known. The efforts of
the American people will stand out
above everything the world has ever
dreamed of in the way of preparing
a nation for war-a nation that was

No AIimony From Soldiers.

The supreme court of New York
state has no power to enforce an or
der for alimony against a soldier in
the United States army, declared Jus.
tice Asphalt in the supreme court in
Brooklyn in the case Of Mrs. Florence
Merriman against Rapley P. Merriman,
a private. It is the first decision Of
it's kind Lere. Justice Asphalt gave
the opinion in acting upon the request
Of Mrs. Merriman's attorney, who de-
manded Merriman be forced to pay
$40 on the first business day of each
month. ut is obvious that the defend
ant could not comply with a direction
that he pay $40 on the first business
day Of each month";" said the justice,
when $40 is more than the rate Of
pay Of his grade, and the time of pay
ment Of soldier is necessarily very
irregular. York Evening Sun.

FROM cABBAGEs TO KINGS
Writer Impressed by Accumulation Of
Subject Matter Of Every Descrip-
tion in Print.

Perhaps the most valuable instru-
ment for perpetuation is the printing
press, writes Bruce Cummings in Sci
ence Progress. No sooner is an event
over than it is reported in the daily
press, and the newspaper preserved
in the British museum for all time.
Within the sacred rotunda of the
British museum reading room may be
perused the novels of Charles Garvice,
rs well as the great Chinese encyclo-
pedia Of the Emperor Kiang-hi in 5000
volumes.
In books our knowledge to date is
rounded up and displayed; you may
read book. on lump of coal, a grass
blade, seaworm, ON hair combs, car.
pets, ships, sticks, sealing wax, cab
bages, kings, cosmetics, Kant. A very
thick volume indeed was published
last year upon the thorax of field
cricket. It would require learned
man to catalogue the literature that
deals with such comparatively trivial
subjects as the history of the Punch
and-Judy show, or the history of play
ing cards.
At the present rapid rate Of aceumu-
lation the time must come when the
British museum, thousands Of years
hence, will occupy an area as large as
London, and the Encyclopedia Britain
MICA be housed in a building as big as
the Crystal palace; an accumulation
of learning to make Aristotle and
Scaliger turn pale.

KEPT TAx-GATHERER BUSY
lmposts Were Levied on Almost Ev.
erything in England Century
and a Half Ago.

1t Is interesting to note that the en-
tertainment tax of the, present day
was anticipated over $50 years ago by
the inventive genius who proposed
that all places of public diversion,
including playhouses, operas, masquer-
AIDES, Ranelagh, Vauxhall, Sadler's
Wells and Astley's--the famous re-
sorts of the fair and the fashionable
of his day-should be taxed, says Lon
! don Tit-Bits. Another proposal was
that the very statues in the gardens
land the lakes and the groves, the
grottoes and the temples of those days
were thick setswith statues of heath
en- gods and oddesses-should have
price put upon their heads.
Time was when taxes were put on
the watches attached to the seals that
dangled from the fobs of the beaux or
hung on the girdles that encircled the
waists of the bellies. Those who own
ed clocks were also regarded as fit
subjects for special taxation.
The "guinea-pig" tax-the tax
householder had to pay for every per-
son in his household who wore a pig
tail and covered his hair with powder
had its day and passed away. So,
too, had tax on soap-the impost
that gave Lord North his nickname Of
"Old Soapsuds"-and a tax on salt.
Gloves and mittens were once taxed,
and so also were scores of other arti-
cles and the shops in which they were
sold.

CLASSIC DRAMA IN JAPAN
Both Chorus and Music Accompany
the Pantomime Of the Actors
on the Stage.

The actors-sons of the sons of gen.
erations of actors passing on as a
legacy of great price to the right to
act in these strange "No" plays of
old Japan-entered and made their ex-
its by way of the bridge. At their
approach, Gertrude Emerson writes In
Asia, unseen hands lifted and held
back a curtain Of persimmon and iris
cOlored silk that hung at the door Of
the dressing room. Their costumes
had wide skirtlike trousers and all the
fires and CONGREGATIONS Of an autumn
wood or mountain forest burned in
the color Of the brocades. Sometimes
they had the streaming white hair of
ghosts. They stamped with their
white stockinged feet on the polished
floor, which gave out a muffled echo
With their flowing sleeves they hid
their faces, turning and swaying in
rhythmic dances. With their fans they
wrote the meaning Of their dances in
the air-the climbing of a mountain
path to a forsaken shrine, a gift Of
water to a weary pilgrim, the picking
of herbs, the flight Of a bird across
the@sky, the falling of flowers-or Of
tears. The chorus sang in suppress
ed tones, holding their breath inter.
minably, explaining, now, the action,
now the thoughts passing through the
mind of the actor. The musicians beat
on their drums and above all other
sounds walled the flute, thin and trem-
ulous, piercingly sad, like lost soul
tormented of demons.

Could Not Save comrade.

A fruitless but daring attempt to
rescue man under the most unfavor-
able conditions was recently made by
William r. Ransford, seaman of the
national naval volunteers, and Allen
J. Jackson, wardroom cook. The
man lost was seaman named W. A.
Wells. He slipped and fell overheard
from the forward turret Of the u. s. 8.
Iowa. It was cold weather and the
water was full Of floating ice. Never
theless Ransford and Jackson went
overheard after the man, but were too
late to save him from drowning.

to that body for a writ of habeas

the process by and under which the
prisoner was brought into this state
appears in all respects regular and
in due form. The prisoner was reg
ularly charged with the commission
of crime in Idaho and against her
laws. The governor of Colorado
honored the requisition from the gov
ernor of Idaho and thereupon duly
issued his warrant for the arrest
and surrender of the accused to the
agents of the State of Idaho

with this decision and appealed to the
