band, DR.. william Francis Honan, In
1905

Mayberry sought to meet the King Of
Sweden and on failure to do so at
tempted to obtain the dismissal of
Charles Il. Graves American Minister
to Sweden.
President Roosevelt refused to com
ply with her request and she threat
ered to sue him for S1,000,O00. Her
legal actions brought her into contact
with Charles Strauss. chairman of the
board of water supply OF New York
city, and threatening letter she
wrote led to her arrest. After being
adjudged insane she spent six months
on Blackwells Island.

Claussen, and granddaughter of

1T has reached down into the home Of
a Washington suburb, and straight
into the heart of Mrs. Edward Sutor.
Mrs. Sutor, wife of Edward Sutor,
well-known Washington physician, of
3I01 Keokuk street, Chevy Chase,
learned OF the case through friend
in New York city. After a personal
investigation into what she called
abuse of the child and neglect by her
parents, Mrs. Sutor adopted her, and
today proudly compares her condi-
tion with the way she found her one
year ago in a squalid room in a New
York tenement house.
FOUND HER RAGGED AND DIRTY.
"When / found Frances Irene she
weighed only thirty-four pounds, "
says Mrs. Sutor. "Imagine that for a
child of nine. Today she weighs
fifty pounds. She gained seventeen
pounds in five weeks under my care.

is emphasized by the fact that Bow
den, next in authority to Public
Printer Cornelius Ford. was among
those rounded up.
The employees further protest
against the loss in time from their
employment caused by the raid. The
forty-one taken to police station
averaged more than an hour and a
half away from theif work. In ad-
dition 10 this. the presence of the po-
lice caused a commotion about the
G. T. o. which is declared to have
hindered the work of the entire plant.
While Public Printer Ford has made
no statement on the affair. 1T is be-
lieved he is very much agitated and
entertains a view in sympathy with
that of his men.

The other woman was Miss Jane Ad-

practically twenty years as a volun-

bering many thousands. which were
divided into various corps and run on
a semi military basis, which did much
of the woman's Red Cross work effi-
ciently and well during the war
wears. Her visits to Europe had
shown Miss Boardman that to be ef-
fective the women's work must be
properly organized, and she devised
a series OF uniforms for the various
corps Of the Women's Volunteer Aid.

morale and spirit OF the women.

Indignant at the alleged tactics OF
lumbia Typographical Union. book
binders. pressmen, stereotypers. and
electrotypers' unions held a meeting
last night on the pavement outside
the Government Printing Office to
voice thir protest against the raid.
They declare that of the forty-one

charge of bookmaking, less than one

Among those taken as witnesses
were Fletcher Bowden, superinten-

Fletcher was indulging in his noon
game of pinochle during the luncheon
hour when the raid was made.

In his diary on that page was a sum-

he was about to pay when the police
interrupted him.

Among the many indignities to
which the employees declare the raid
subjected them was the case of one
printer who went into the store 10
buy a cigar. When he came to the
door II was locked. This employe
says the door was opened by a de-
tective. who asked him to come in

The city of San Salvador. capital of

a city of earthquakes, for it has seen
disaster as result of many eruptions,
and even today the many volcanoes
that surround the little city which has

are heard, coming, it is supposed, from
the IZalo volcano.

5000 feet high, has gradually built

WIT AND HUMOR IN BIBLE
"Good Book" Replete With Lively
SalIies That May Be Classed
as of First Quality.

A writer on this somewhat unusual
topic says: "There is wit and humor
of the first quality in the Bible" and
to prove it he continues:
"Job In his thirtieth chapter is tell

They belong to the long-eared frater-

are clamoring to their god to help them

English Bible tames down the sallies.
Take them in modern phrase. These
quack prophets have worked them

Spanish Girl Has Attendant.

The Spanish girl of any attractions
is almost always attended by young
man who is known as her novio, and
who has the privilege OF escorting her
on her walks, although. by a slngu-
lar anomaly, no formal engagement
exists. SO long as this state of things
continues the young lady has to be
loyal and ebedient to her gallant. But
he may cease his attentions at any
time, and openly transfer them to
some other attractive lady Although
the advantages of such custom are
all on the side of the man. very few
Spanish girls would care TO be with
