the way of great agricultural
pageant, in which 1t is hoped to
have anywhere flom fifty to one
hundred fleats that will compete
for beautifulness, uniqueness and
comicalness, along with the quail
ty and variety OF products of Baca's
farms and gardens. This pageant Is
creating an immense amount of in.

EMBRACE-PROOF CIGARS.

Thomas R. Marshall is known
wherever tobacco is worshipped as the
chief advocate of good five-cent CT
gar, asserting that it is the crying
need of the country. Hoosiers take
special pride in the achievement 81
Mr.. Marshall in thus putting his fin
ger on the outstanding desideratum OF
the time and hope that it will de.
velop into more than n consummation
devoultly to be wished. With all due
respect to him, however. he only ut
tered a half truth and it has remained
for comparatively obscure professors
of chemistry to confer the greatest
boon on the smoking fraternity.
Two members of the Lehigh frater-
nifty, after year of research. have
apparently succeeded in perfecting an
unbreakable cigar.
- The discovery will prove a great
boon to the married man. The lover
will cheerfully sacrifice his cigars in
the rapture of fond embrace, hut
the less romantic married man may
cool the ardor of his morning farewell
if he finds that it is usually accompa-
nled Dy the destruction OF ms smokes.
Many n family tilt may have origi-
mated over an undue zeal for the well
fare of common black cigar. Much
of this will be avoided through the
discovery, of the Lehigh professors.
The wrapper may crumble, but the
filler viii remain intact. Only one
fear remains. The application Of the
process may tend to retard the trend
of prices in the direction pointed out
by Mr.. Observation-Disclosures Star.

MURDER FOR MONEY

The cold-blooded assassination of two
enginemen and brakeman by train rob-
bers in the Siskiyou mountains the other
day is ore of the most brutal crimes per-
petrated in the annals OF American train
robberies. These bandits are not ordi-
nary criminals. They are exceptionally
vicious murderers who would hesitate at
nothing. They have put themselves not
only outside the pale of the law but out
side the pale of common dcccncy. They
should be hunted down like the wild
animals they are.
One of the enginemen killed had been
employed for more than 20 years by the

RESERVED SEATS ON TRAINS.

1t isn't often that railroad in the
United States has anything to learn
from England, but perhaps there is
found such an instance in the recent
ly inaugurated system of reserved seat
sales on certain of the British train
runs. To be sure we for many years
have had our reserved Pullman ser
vices. but the new undertaking cover
there" is to sell the passenger in adj
vance numbered seats in the regular
day coaches.
A small charge is made for the
added service. but SO willing has the
travelling public shown itself to make
the extra payment that it usually has
been found that the unreserved seats.
on which certain number have been
left for the general scramble. have
frequently been left vacant. The old
custom of first come first served in
the matter of train seats led to so
much crOwding and ill-feefing. caused
such loss of time by those who were
willing to stand In line to get first
choice of position, and generally was
such n nuisance that the public wei
coined the change.
We imagine the same would be true
here in America at populous centers
and on trains, which carry daily
throngs. 1t might even be made pos
sible to secure in advance regular
seats over weekly or even monthly pc
RODS. The advance reservation of
numbered seats would make known
rather closely the number of passen-
gers to be carried. so that the need
full train equipment could be prepared
without last minute rush to add an.
other car, or worse still without fore
ing the overplus to stand.-New Or.

seem that those who respond to the

leave their sclf-respect at home if they
should go to Washington fully. resigned
to the prospect which, according to adj
vance reports, awaits them there.
If their respective opinions are held
in such low esteem that they are not
to be given an opportunity to express
them, but must simply listen to what
the federal government tells them they
must do, the trip might easily be re-
garded as waste of time and money

Debating TO GOVERNORS

When is a conference not confer.

on October 90, when the governors of
"the several" states assemble in Wash
ington to hear what the national adj
ministration has to say to them about
prohibition. That is. the secret will he

dents.
The governors. it is reported, will
simply be told what is wanted by the
national administration, and will be Civ
en- no time in which to express their
own views. Instead OF comforting they
will defer--or will they?
When the call for the conference
was issued, the logical assumption was
that the federal authorities had in mind
a free discussion of the matter OF en-
forcing the laws of the land, particularly
the Volstcad law. 1t was logical to
suppose that, inasmuch as the federal
authorities had made failure OF en-
forcement, they would be pleased to
have the counsel of the chief executives
of the states.
But no; it is not advice that the fed
eral authorities want. They are going
to tell the governors what to do, just Ike
that, and then the Conference" will be
adjourned before some conceited. as
mime, self-starting governor gets up and
tells the world what lie thinks he thinks.
The federal authorities will crack the
whip, and the governors will be expected
to buckle to the load.

CHAPTER XIII.

When Hope drove back through the
hospital grounds and walked between
two men up the steps, down which
she had flown few hours before pal
pitating with her splendid dreams of
freedom, she was hardly conscious of
the ignominious contrast.
Anita Copley met her in the hall,
and in that full dazzle of light sur
veyed her gloatingly, a cruel sweep
ing glance that took in the girl from
head to foot.
She caught Hope by the arm and
led her upstairs to her room. thrust
ing her in through the door before
fell into it.
Come, get undressed," Anita or
dered.
Hope twisted petulantly, and let
her head fall back again. But Miss
Copley caught her by the wrist and
jerked her to her feet.

UNDER THE RED CROSS.

She came and went as comes and goes
A fragrance in the morning air,
Where lay the shadowy shapes of those
Who died in her sweet care.
Some doubted, when her face had flown,
Whether it was or only seemed
Whether one saw what he had known
Or something he had dreamed.
And near a trampled field at night
Wan eyes, still following her afar.
Saw round that head saintlier light
Than came from moon or star.
The wreck, the roar, the murk. the glare
Were nought to her; she simply knew
Gods broken images were there
Where healing hands were few.

AN OUTCRY OF IGNORANCE

Doctors have to combat not only
disease, but ignorance as WELL. They
encounter ignorance not only in the
practice of their profession, but also in
the process of getting their degrees. One
might have thought, however, that the
anti-v;visection agitators had become ex-
tinct in this country. Perhaps they are
rare. But that Texas still has a, surplus
of them is indicated by the report that
half Of the voting members of a humane
society objected to the use of dogs for
clinical purposes at Baylor Medical
College.
Unnecessary cruelty to animals" was
the charge which these people bore in
their minds against students who per-
form operations on dogs as means of
gaining surgical knowledge and skill
What is necessary and what is unneces-
sary is question that can be answered
only after certain facts have been agreed
upon. Some people would say that il
is never necessary to operate upon the
human body; it is futile to discuss vivi-
section with them. But if scientific SUR
gerry be accepted as means of saving
life, then there should be no argument
concerning the value of vivisection for
training purposes. If men who are learn
ing to be surgeons do not practice upon
lower animals, they will have to do a
lot of practice on human beings before
they can become expert-and safe-users
of the scalpel when the lives of their
patients are at stake.
But how about the cruelty" charge
1t is entertained by those who know
nothing about the mechanics of vivi-
section-pcople who, apparently, have
visions of a dog, pig or other dumb
creature being ruthlessly tortured by
heartless knife-wielders. AS a matter
of simple fact, operations on lower ami
mails are performed under conditions al
most identical with those which obtain
when human being is put under the
knife. This is necessarily so, as other
wise the student operator would get
little if any useful knowledge or train
ing from the experience.
In the first place, dogs selected for
clinical purposes are usually those that
have already been condemned TO die
strays that fall into the hands of the
dog-catchers and are not reclaimed.
If they were not taken by the clinics
they would be shot and sometimes a
shot dog suffers before its life be-
comes extinct.
Placed on the operating table, dog
or other animal is given an anasthetic
which renders it unconscious. There is
no pain, no suffering, and consequent
ly no cruelty. The student operator
even takes precautions against infectior
of the organs operated on; if he doesn't
dc that while he is learning to be a
surgeon, he may forget to do it when
he comes to practice upon human beings.
Although these facts are generally
known, there are still some people who
are not aware of them. AS long as
such ignorance prevails in any degree,
outcries against vivisection will be made.
