When her husband went to Morocco
she risked capture by bandits by ac

When Mrs ltussell Sage determined

and living conditions in the United
States she realized that her plan
would depend largely for its success on

of this splendid
sum Her idea is
that the income of
the fund should be
expended in efforts
to determine the
the cause of pover

and in social ex
periments designed
ito raise the general
standard of living
among those who
commonly find ex

As an instance of his record in this
field it may be related that when Mr

Qeading Baltimore banker they left

Since Vice President Fairbanks
saved a pretty hotel waitress from
drowning it is considered suspicious
for a man in public office to be the
hero of a sensational exploit It is
generally taken to mean that he has
designs on the presidency Friends of
Mayor Sherburn M Becker of Milwau
kee are wondering if he does not as
pire to be governor at least since the
papers came out with a story about
how he was held up by highwaymen
and got the best of them through his
quick wits According to the narra
tive told of his adventures the mavor
and his chauffeur
were speeding along
near Milwaukee in
tent on reaching the
Country club where
the mayor had an
engagement Sud
denly a short dis
tance ahead a light
was swung back
and forth across the
b IT BECKEK
road
The mayor who was driving shut
off the power and put on the brakes
thinking that some accident had hap
pened or that there was a break in the
road When he had brought his auto
mobile to a halt and was ready to
jump out to see what the matter was
he found himself looking into the
muzzle of a revolver A voice from
the darkness said
Now then turn over whatever you
have with you and do it quick
Mayor Becker though startled at
the sudden demand pulled back his
coat showing Ills star and aykig
This is all I have with me now
The highwaymen took a glance at
the gold star and evidently thinking
they had held up a police official shut
off their light and made a jump for
the fence on the side of the road dis
appearing quickly Mayor Becker pro
teeded to the Country club and from
here telephoned the police A
MISERLINESS
8tarving and Saving For Others to
Spord When Youro Dead
Im not opposed to a man saving
money remarked the undertaker
lighting a fresli cigar but I cant help
feeling that it is wrong for one to do
it by meanness and by denying one
self comforts It is because I see so
much of this that I feel this way
Whatever is the reason I must say
that in my observation the usual result
Is that when one has saved up money
by this self denial the ones who re
ceive the money after death usually
waste it
To illustrate this let me tell you of
a specific case A few years ago an
elderly woman died in our city I was
called to care for the remains I as
sure you that the room into which I
went was one of the barest and most
desolate places I ever saw There was
none of those little things which go to
make a room comfortable and cheer
I ful I couldnt but help thinking that
the noor life had been a
dreary one In a way I still think so
She was a maiden lady about sev
enty In the town was one woman
who had been her friend She sent
word to me to bring the remains there
No one supposed the deceased had a
cent in the world When we were
about to remove the body the people
of the house called my attention to a
small box which they said contained
all the effects of the dead woman
When we opened that box we found
that it rntained ronO the old ladys
saving of a lifetime
In her efforts to hoard up this mon
ey she had gone without comforts and
necessities had denied herself every
little luxury What for Answer it

laws making two

quiring nonresident
corporations to take
out licenses and
forbidding them to
remove civil suits from state to federal
courts When the Southern railway did
not put in effect new rates in accord
ance with the new laws the state re
voked the license it being alleged that
the road had violated the provision of
the new laws pertaining to removal of
suits from state to federal courts Con
ferences were held between railway
and state officials and an agreement
was finally reached in which the rail
road promised to put the new rates in
effect temporarily pending determina

There Are a Dozen Different Kinds of
the Borers
One of the queerest superstitions
says a secondhand book dealer in this
city is the idea that the bookworm
commits immense ravages among
printed volumes and yet has never
been seen People think it bores holes
through books and eats out large cavi
ties in the middle of a volume then
disappears and the superstition even
goes so far as to assert that the book
worm will eat a hole that would hold
a marble right in the middle of a
book then vanish without leaving any
exit
The plain truth is that almost any
borers that infest wood will bore holes
through books and also that cockroach
es do about as much harm to books
as any other insects There are a doz
en different kinds of borers that do
more or less damage to books and
the reason why the insects are not
more frequently caught is that they do
their work and generally leave the
book to enter the chrysalis state in oth
er quarters None of the boring worms
are large and even when a borer is
actually at work the sudden opening
of the book allows the insect to drop
out unobserved
American made books however are
very little troubled by borers There
are so many different kinds of chem
icals used in the covers bindings pa
per and paste that boring insects gen
erally get very sick at the stomach
before they have made their way far
into an American book In southern
Europe however great damage is of
ten done to libraries not only by bor
ers but also by ants which eat their
way into the heart of a book and leave
galleries and chambers easily mistak
en for the work of the borers St

A Knocker That Meart Life
So cruel were some of the punish
ments meted out to criminals in Eng
land centuries ago that it was small
wonder the poor wretches claimed the
right of sanctuary If they reached
a church or some other privileged place
the law could not touch them A curi
ous relic in connection with this cus
tom exists today in the form of the
quaint knocker on the door of Durham
cathedral The applicant having ham
mered at the portal one of the priests
inside would inspect him through the
eyes of the copper mask above the
knocker and after due parley would
admit the frightened criminal
