CURIOSITY KILLED A CAT!

 NEW YORK--Morris Fitzgerald, a clerk and a bright young man who does his sleeping hanging to subway ear strap had narrowing experience here a few days ago.
 Morris. let it be understood has an inventive turn of mind. During his spare hours in the last seven years he has invented a number of useful arti. cles, and although none of them have even caused any great furry, he still has hope.
 The greatest of his inventions, he believes, was the spotless blotter he in vented. This was a great success as far as Morris was concerned, but people to whom he tried to sell 1t were too stupid to see what a great utility it was
 But, be that as it may, Morris latest contribution to progress is a combina- ton cigar lighter and whisky tester. With this useful little article Morris claims you cannot only light your cigar but, by applying it's flame to whisky, you can tell whether the John Barley corn product contains. wood alcohol. And if you wind the whisky does con- tain wood alcohol. y0u use it as fuel for the cigar lighter. thereby saving some of the dough that might be vast ed otherwise.

SHRINE PARADE ID SURPASS ALL OTHER
 ATTEMPTS OF PAST

Embodying such features as wild animals, uniformed Patrol, and a whole flock of Novices, the annual parade of the Shriners is to be held here the night of the Thirteenth.
 Upon the occasion of each cere- monial the day is not complete with out a parade. In years gone by the parade has attracted a large gathering on the down town streets and the usual comments of pity have been passed out for the poor suffering nov ices, who generally appear garbed in all sorts of fantastic costumes. with chains hanging around them, and sharp goads applied to such parts of their anatomy as may not be keeping up with the rest of the parade.
 This year the procession will be augmented with a goodly portion of the Al G. Barnes circus. A large num- Der of wild animals will be on hand for the affair, the elephants will do their share to make the line interesting and the camels will be there to lend an Oriental flavor. It is also possible that the blood sweating behemouth may turn out for the fray.

TO HEAR CAsE: JANUARY II
DIR. B. b. jackson Asks Court to SET
Aside Order of State Medical Board.

Judge James A. Mcclure, in the dis
trict court today, set January II as
the date for TIE hearing of the petition
Of DR.. BIB. jackson, of Rosedale, who
asks that the court set aside the order
of the state board of medical examin-
ers revok.ng his license to practee
medicine because of his alleged abuse
of his right to give prescriptions for
narcotics.
Judge Mcclure overruled the state
boards demurrer to Doctor Jackson $
petition. The restraining order issued
a few days ago preventing the state
board from interfering with Doctor
jackson in the practice of his profess
sion will stand until the final hearing,
January IT. The final decision of the
local court will in no way affect the
Wyandotte county order restraining
Doctor jackson from writing preserip-
tons in that county, 1t was said.
