penverite, After Carefully loniting II,
Absentmindedly Put the Fire
cracker In His Mouth.

As a result of Observation-Disclosures In
his Fourth of July celebrating, Osip
Sal0nski, 80, of West Denver lost sew
eral teeth and is carrying his face In
q sling.
Osip stood on the corner, smoking a
cigaret and watching with interest the
youngsters shoot of their explosives.
Suddenly desire to be young, real
young, once more assailed him, and.
stalking up to a nearby booth, he pur-
chased q whole fistful of firecrackers.
Stepping to the edge Of the curb, he
cautiously applied the end Of his
lighted cigaret to the fuse of one of the
crackers. A sputter and volley Of
little sparks announced that the noise
was on the way. Then Osip's mentali-
ty failed to function properly. With a
quick movement he slammed his Gig
aret into the street and jammed the
end of the firecracker into his mouth.
A terrific crash, which disengaged
three front teeth and bespeckled his
face with powder burns, brought Osip
to the conclusion that all was not just
as it should be. He made run for
the nearest drug store, and he
emerged a few moments later reeking
with the fumes of iodine and his face
and neck swathed in bandages, and
he looked much like an accident that
had gone somewhere to happen and,
apparently, had been success. -

If the venerable ex-president Of

that he derived some dietic benefit
from tea, no exception would be taken
to the statement. It is his frank ad-
mission that he uses tea as a stimu-
liant and finds that 1t helps his mental
processes which will be challenged.
Can there be good in any stimulant?
Can the willful excitation Of the mind
by any kind Of brew be other than

drugged Doctor Eliot's intellect and
robbed it Of its highest productivity.

Idaho's City of
Yesterday May Be
Entirely Deserted

BOISE.-One of the interesting is
sues that will 60 before the next
legislature is the question of the re-
moval of the county seat of Boise
county from Idaho City to Horseshoe
Bend. II this is done practically the
oldest city in the state will virtually
be abandoned. During the past ten
years Boise county has been operat-
ed upon a number of times by the
legislature and each operation has
resulted in another slice of territory
being taken from it. This was true
when Gem county was created, when
Valley county was created and when
Payette county came into existence.
In spite of this fact, Boise county ID
still great in area, but it has very lit
tie population.
Idaho City. which is the county
seat used to be called Bannock City
in the days when the gold rush was
on and at one time had population
of 10000. That was from 1850 to
1870. One of the biggest gold strikes
in the history of the state was re-
corded there and miners and adven-
turers came from all parts of the
country. More gold was taken from
the basin or the country surrounding
Idaho City, than has been taken out
Of Alaska. But gradually the placer
property played out. Idaho City be-
came a village and now it is desired
to take away it's title as county seat
and remove it closer to the more
thickly settled portions Of the county.

Porcelain Money.

A new element may be introduced
into the field Of numismatics by the
proposal to issue porcelain money
throughout Germany. With this pur-
pose in view, Meissen porcelain fac
tory has already manufactured speci-
mems Of coins ranging from 10 pfennig
to s mark pieces. How successful the
new proposal will be remains to be
seen. It's adoption would mark an in
teresting breach with the traditional
use of gold, silver, and bronze; and
the well-known formulate, A. AR and
AE, Of the catalogues would have to be
supplemented. Apart from the occa-
sional employment Of electrum, bill.
Ion, brass, and potin, iron in the Pelo-
ponnesus,and glass for coin weights
in Arabia, the three established metals,
in their varying forms, have rarely
been challenged.

An important addition to the fer

to be made.
About 100000 acres of lands in
Wyoming, Idaho, Utah and Montana,
containing valuable phosphate depos-
its have been divided into areas
not exceeding $500 each. according to
the Journal of Industrial and Engi-

For years these lands have been
awaiting congressional legislation in
regard to the leasing Of phosphate de-
posits in public lands. Regulations in
this connection have now been ap-

Will Not Let Women Pay.

X. q. men are hopelessly old-fash-
Toned. The $3.50 idea, that is, that a
girl pay for half the treats, which was
started recently in an eastern univer
sity. did not appeal to them when it
was discussed the other day.
A woman may work and by her eff
cheney earn as much as man, but If
she pay for one-half the treats she
takes away the divine right of man,
opinion had it.
Pride was not the only thing that in.
fluenced them. A man must shoulder
responsibility through life so it is well
for him to start early. The idea of
protection of women extends even to
paying for the sundaes she consumes.
It was the general opinion that If
girls would realize that the resources
of most men are not unlimited, there
would not be any occasion for thinking
about this matter.-Summer Session

New President Of
French Finds Job
Requires Changes

BY NEWTON G. PARKE
international News Service STAR
Correspondent
PARIS.-One of the hardest
workers in the world had to join the
Saturday half holiday crowd when
Alexander Millerand retired as Prime
Minister of France to become its
President.
President Millerand's physicians
pointed out that he could not risk his
health, as ex-President Deschanel had
done, by continuing to strain himself.
After some insistence, the new Pres
ident, who as Premier worked from
8 a. m. to s p. m, six and sometimes
seven days week, agreed to rest on
Saturday afternoon. Most of the i'm
portant Cabinet Ministers are follow
ing his example and closing their Of
fees at noon.
The new President had to make
another concession in taking over his
new job. For years it had been his
custom to take nothing atenoon but a
cup of tea. Now he has let himself
in for a regular round of many
coursed luncheons at the Elysee Pal
ace.
Since his election he has had one
steady round of visitors. No one of
them remained more than fifteen
minutes, excepting in a very few rare
instances. President Millerand be-
lieves that fifteen minutes is enough
to cover any mans tale of woe. He
makes decisions quickly, carries
nothing over until the next day, and
il he wants record of an interview
with visitor makes it himself on a
pad of notepaper.
The new President takes few mo-
tor rides. He has large limousine
at his disposal, but he loves to walk,
trailed only by two secret service
men and he has been frequently en-
countered in the crowds on the
Champs Elysees or along the River
Seine. At the aviation field at Bour-
get he has also at his disposal a
Presidential aeroplane, the ESQ, but
thus far he has never used it.
