CONDUCTOR QUITS sUDDFNty

During the heavy rain on Tuesday
night, a conductor on one OF the Van
dever Avenue line cars quit his Job on
the spot and left his car standing at

some happening or other in connection
with the run and perhaps the heavy

WANTED SAME KID OF BOND
CoIored Man Was Satisfied That He
Could Afford 1t, if the Other
Fellow Could.

In many instances prisoners, against
whom there is little evidence, or who
are thought to be honorable enough to
return for trial if they are permitted
to go to their homes if released with
out bond, are permitted to go on their
own recognizance. In political YER
nacular they go on their 80. R."
A short time ago several colored men
were arrested charged with assault
and battery. All had engaged in a
free-for-al fight and two of the men
had received several knife wounds.
One man, however, told the judge that
he arrived on the scene, just as the
police came, to see what the excite
ment was about, and, being mistaken
for one of the fighters, was taken to
police headquarters with the other
men.
When the case was called in police
court, it was continued for few
days, and after hearing the story the
judge told this man that he would let
him out on his 80. r." after he had
promised to return on the day of the
trial.
One of the other prisoners was so
impressed with the easy manner in
which his friend got out of Jail that
he asked for an opportunity to speak,
and then said: "Jedge, yer honor, l
sure would like to get out. 1 don't
know what kind of bond this %. r.
is, but know this, that if that boy
can afford it, so can 1, and 1 am will
ing to put one up"
The speaker was one of the prime
movers in the fight, and the judge de-
cided that his bond would be $500,
which was more than he could pro-
cure, so he remained in jail.-Indian-
apolis News.

PLANT LONG HELD SACRED
Glover, of Which the Shamrock Is a
Species, Was Much Thought OF
by the Ancient Greeks.

1t is difficult to say what was the
original shamrock, trefoil or Hero Trim
ity. The leaf now recognized as the
national emblem is that of the white
clover, but the name shamrock is
generic and is applied also to the
purple clover, the speedwell, the PIN
pernel and to the wood sorrel.
The clover of two or four leaves
was held sacred in the festivals of the
Greeks. The one of four leaves, when
carried about, is supposed to insure
success at play and confer the power
Of detecting evil spirits. The lover
may put it under his pillow and he will
dream of his beloved, or the maiden
may slip 1t into her sweethearts shoe
without his knowledge and it will in
sure his safe return from any journey.
1t may be employed to prevent the
wearer's being drawn into military
service, is said to be a cure for lunacy,
and is still, among the Irish, regarded
as magical, even sacred. Snakes dis
like it exceedingly and will not remain
where 1t is growing.
Some say the four-leaf shamrock is
the shamrock Of luck, and others that
1t is the five-leaved one that holds the
magic touch. This latter is rare and
priced and is said to grow from de-
caying body, as the nettle is said to
spring from buried human remains. The
shamrock of luck must be found with
out searching, without seeking" When
thus discovered it should be cherished
and preserved as an invincible tails

PROLIFIC CAUSE OF CANCER
Prominent Surgeon Points Out Danger
in Taking Too Hot Foods Into
the Stomach.

DR.. William J. Mayo of Rochester,
Mimi, now major in the United States
army, says that 80 per cent of all can
GERS of civilized man are in the stom-
ach, and this condition is uncommon
among primitive men and animals. He
believes that many such. cancers are
caused by chronic liberation of the
stomach.
Doctor Mayo told the national ses-
sion of the Clinical Congress of Sur
geons of North America that men had
cancer of the stomach more frequent
" than women because man is in the
habit Of taking his food hotter than
the average woman takes hers. Wom-
an sits At the foot of the table and
peurs the tea and coffee. serving the
men of the household first and drink
ing hers after it has cooled somewhat.
Among. the Chinese the same rule
holds good of eating rice, for the ,wom-
en- eat at the second table.
Doctor Mayo said food and drink
should not be taken into the stomach
hotter than can be borne comfortably
in the mouth, for the mouth has sensi-
tive nerves expressly to protect the
doorway to the body, while the stom-
ach has not.

In Switzerland work has been de-
clared obligatory for every intern
ed man whose health permits it..
The informed are divided into six
classes, according to their physical
capacity for work, the classitica-
ton being intrusted to practicing
physicians who must act with pru-
dence. The prisoner works for his
own welfare and re-education, not
for the benefit of the Swiss, but care
is taken to avoid unfair competition
with Swiss industry. He receives a
wage commensurate with his labor,
some governments requiring a portion
of the wage to be turned over to them
to be used toward the cost of main
tanning their prisoners.

ExeroIse mat Rests the MInd.

Perhaps the best way to rest your
thought mechanism is to indulge in
muscular exercise, by which means you
concentrate your anatomical move
ments and indirectly rest your mind.
To focus the attention upon muscular
movements or upon some phase of ply
steal activity is TO relax the muscles
which are concerned in the generation
of thought and ideas. Relaxation is
better word for some sorts of rest.

amateur soon learns something Of their

Your heart is a very busy organ.
While you breathe once it beats four
times. At each beat it sends four
pounds of blood through your veins
and arteries. The weight of the cir
culating blood is 20 pounds. When you
run your legs and other parts of your
body need more blood, so your heart
must pump faster.-Popular Science

Seven EcIipses..

A romance of old wars might make
much of year that recorded seven
eclipses solar and lunar. Eclipses
counted for much in the dim years
when fighting was mems most impor-
tant business. Yet no one who lived
in those days would have known that
there were seven eclipses. so perhaps
the heavenly portents would have ex-
erted less than their due influence on
human superstition.

W0RTHILY RANKS
AMONG SAINTS
Patrick's Useful Life and Good
Works EntitIe Him to Posi-
ton of Eminence.
PLACE OF BIRTH NO MATTER
Certain He Was True irishman and
Accomplished Much for the Wei
fare of the Race During His
Sojurn on the Island.

~ NE of the reasons why st
Patrick is such favorite the
world over is that he was so
- very human. He hadn't much
of a chance when a boy,'but he made
the best of what he had. II. he had not
he would have; been a hogherd all the
DAYS of his life. He was slaye, in
very truth, being bound to pagan hog
raiser in Britain.
But you can't keep a good man down,
and that's a fact.
If all the legends be true, which can
hardly be possible, Patrick was IA
vorite among the ladies, even making
an impression on the good st. Bridget.
Maybe this was before they became
saints-of course it was, for how could
they be saints and be alive at the same
time?
However, there is quite lot of writ
ings, whether genuine or not, that go
to show that he was a real human
lover, and that dear Bridget was ex-
-ceedingly fond of him, and would have
married him could be have procured
the consent of the church.
His Life and Works.
From all that can be learned con-
corning the life and works of st. Pat
rick, he was a good man, and spent his
life going about doing good for his fell
lows.
AS you know, a good man is more
highly respected, more beloved and ex-
erts a greater influence for good in
the community in which he is known
than even the wealthiest, the most
powerful or most favored. He may not
wear purple and fine linen, nor fare
sumptuously, but he IS making the
world better and is. therefore, truly,
and in the highest sense, a son of God.
There are numerous stories and leg
ends concerning st. Patrick, some Of
which may be true. But it matters
little whether he was a Milesian born
in Spain, or a son of a poor swine
herd of the green isle.
The history of the world shows that
the mere circumstances of birth cuts
very small figure in the matter of real
greatness. From earliest times the
men who have figured most promi- |
nently in world movements for the bet
terment of mankind have been OF |
humble origin.
In order to rise from the lowly birth |
station of Lincoln or of Moses, a man
must have the true spirit OF manli-
ness in him. If he survive the severe

The collies name appears to be
shrouded in mystery, but there seems
to be a fairly reasonable foundation
for supposing that it is from "coll"
or "collar," on account of the broad

seen in the majority of these dogs.

In His Day.
We Of the present day can hardly
conceive of the conditions existing in
the British islands in his day.
The native Celts were heather and
british, and had no higher ambitiou
than to exist, unless it was to rob
neighboring tribes of their cattle, hogs
and fair women. Physically they were
strong, vigorous and emotional, and
possessed of good nature, wit and So
cial feeling in a marked degree as COM
pared with the inhabitants of other
islands.
Noting. this, st. Patrick must have
concluded there was something here to
work on, something good; and seeing
this he took it as his command to as
sist in the development of the social
disposition and good feelings of these
people.
He therefore became one of them,
lived with them, won their confidence
and commanded their respect. In or
der that he might be an efficient leader
he occasionally went abroad and
studied under the fathers of the church,
for religion is most powerful to con-
troll the feelings and change the aspi-
rations of men.
No matter what he may have been
born, he was a true Irishman.
A Real Man.
rick as a fakir more or less, because
of the miracles he is said to have
wrought.
AS far as known st. Patrick did not
claim to have miraculous power, nor
to have driven the reptiles out of Ire
land.
1t has always been the rule among
ignorant and superstitious people to
credit their religious teachers and
great leaders with having done some
marvellous or miraculous thing. With
out something Of the sort other igno-
rant and superstitious people would
not heed them.
There may never have been any rep
tiles on this particular island, it hav-
ing been one of the last to rise up out
of the salty sea.
1t is not the fact that q man is able |
to do wonderful things, or to work mir
acles, that makes him great really, but |
his ability to see and to comprehend |
the great truths concerning life, and to |
desire to spread these among |
the people. This it is that commands |
the attention OF the ivelier spirits, |
md wins the respect and confidence of
those who desire better things in this
life.
Such was st. Patrick.
A Splendid Type.

handed their admiration, for he was
