Such details as have leaked out give the idea that the ceremonies were of a peculiarly lively character, and the distinguished initiate is said to have enjoyed them hugely. The character of the doings may be judged from the illustrations representing "stunts" through which the ex-president was put. From the expression on his face It may be judged that the fun in no way dis pleased Col. Roosevelt. Last year President Taft was in itiated into the society, which is chief ly made up of business men who have banded themselves in a cooperative movement, having for its object the development of the tmnsmissouri country.

IN THE SCRAP HEAP Remnant of French Panama Canai Goes to Melting Pots. Costly Machinery Brought Over by Backers of Ferdinand de Lesseps Being Sent to Furnaces to Be Made Over. _ Harrisburg. Pa.—The ghost of old j ferdmand de Lesseps. the French en gineer. »ouid stand aghast were It to : ws!T the yards of the Harrisburg Iron j and Steel company and see what Is be ng done with the costly machinery j .nd equipment which he shipped from i France to the Isthmus of Panama in J the ■ its. to aid in the construction of the big ditch that was to be dug solely by French labor, conducted by French kill and paid for by French cash from the strong box of the banker and the humble woolen sock of the French i peasant. As all the world knows, after De Les- ! efa fa-»d made such a great success in bv.iiimg me Suez canal, he was urged to greater efforts to build a canal across the Isthmus of Panama to con ne«t the Atlantic and Pacific oceans: ! itd he set about the task with fer- i •“ *r vor and a desire to enrich his coun trymen as »eil as to add luster to his j own name and reputation. It was too ' expensive a transaction, however, and after the French government with drew its patronage and the French ' people declined longer to contribute, there came scandals without number that shocked the world, and Pe L.es seps withdrew to France to die cf a broken heart. In the abandonment the French com- ! pany left on the ground all of its ma chinery. some of which had never been in use. consisting of locomotives, steel cars, huge steel scoops anu dredges, valuable tools of iron and steel, bridges that had been made in France and were ready to put together, huge cranes, levers and costly casting ma terial. This costly outfit lay in the path of j the American engineers when they i came to dig the new ditch which Uncle Sam has in course of construction. Some of it was covered with mud a foot deep; some of it gathered rust an inch deep in the forests of the tropics; j locomotives that cost thousands in France lay upturned, the resting places of the swamp birds, and monkeys i swung from one bridge piece to the ; other as had dene their ancestors when De Lesseps and his merry men began ro dig the ditch that tailed. There was only one thing to do with this o!u stuff, and that was to gather it. ship it north ar.d sell it for junk to be rrme’.red in the Yankee smelting pot. to maktf useful things. Tens upon tons of it were sent to New York and sold, and among those who got a share was the Harrisburg Iron and Steel company. Thus iar Harrisburg has handled 1.500 tons of this scrap. As none of it can be used for its original purpose, as last as it is received here it is cleaned of the rust of years and the mud of Panama and sent to fur naces. for there is always a demand for it. because of its Quality. ’Gator in Hen’s Nest. New York.—A pet alligator owned by the family of Jesse Irving Taylor. 249 Proad street. Bloomfield. N. J., disappeared and had been given up as lost. Miss Jeannette Taylor, w hile gather ing eggs from the nests in the chicken coop was startled to see the head of the alligator sticking from under the wing of an old black hen sitting in one of the nests. The gator. Ttd. was removed from its comfortable quar ters and placed in an aquarium. The alligator had grown considerably, and judging from the number of shells found, had been subsisting cn fresh eggs HYPNOTIC AID IS REFUSED ’■'cv York Magistrate Rejects Offer cf Services of "Professor of Hypnotism." New Yirk—A simple and easy u."ans if solving all marital troubles by hypnotism has just been refused eon.-' deration by Magistrate Cornell, presiding officer of New York's court of domestic relations. A tall, dark man of impressive ap pearance tailed upon Magistrate Cor nell the other day and introduced liim solf a- a "professor of hypnotism." He informed the migistrate he was ready •o place himself temporarily at the -•nice of the court. 'S can be of vast assistance,” he said. "I am needed here. Nothing tun stand against my powers. Let a couple who are at war come to me. I look in their ey. s. I stroke their ! "ads. I say softly. ‘Go. my children, and be at peace.' They walk out turtle doves." Magistrate Cornell said he would 'ake the name of the professor and send for him if he was needed, but that he would try to worry on unaided for a while. Finds $5C; Gets 25 Cents Reward. London.—A little girl at Portmadcc, who picked up & silver watch and gold chain and a purse containing $50. was rewarded with 25 cents by the owner. FIND YOUR NAME BY NUMBER Miss Zee Ecyie Explains \Vcrkir.r_ cf Her Nomenclature System— Net Fortune Telling. New York.—What's ia a name? Nearly everything from a sore tiiroat to a steady job, in the opinion of Miss Zoe J. Boyie of this city, who calls herself "a name analysist.” She main tains that »hen^it- writes one s seif "tD-Y T-H E." instead of “E-D-l-T-H," one actually makes one's self a wholly different person. For. she says, as “Edythe” one may be more unlucky than when it's spelled with an "I." “It isn't fortune telling," said Miss Boyle. “It is the working of a natural, ordinary law. It means a lot of accu rate, careful work. Every letter of the child’s two or three names—Cbris ■ fian, middle and surname—stands for something. Then each letter is equiva lent to a number in several mathe matical tables which I use. The sim j plest is like this,” and she showed the following diagram: 123456789 abcdefgh 1 jklmnopqr stuvwxyi “I add up all the numbers to which the respective letters of the name be long. For instance, the name 'Mary' would be 4-plus 1. plus 9. plus 7. The sum of these is 21, and I consider the vibrations of that number in two ways as the compound number, a'., and the sum of the two component parts 2 plus t, or 3. I have many boohs tel! ■ ng what qualities ard tendencies every number stands for. away up into the hundreds “I sine this simple table. I analyze each oi the names borne by the person I am studying. I then add the sum of the letters of the three names to gether, coupled with the mothers maiden name. Only with all this data do I attempt to make a reading." "But people don't came themselves.’ the reporter ventured, "and isn’t it rather unfair that their characters anu their Muck should be determined it spite of themselves, at their christen ing?" "Science is seldom fair,” she an swereti. "and reople have only tc change their names. Of course, fre quently it would be rather inconve nient to disturb the surname. But ever if that is an unlucky one. the Chris tian name can nearly always be manipulated to neutralize the bad qualities of the other." "That’s why seme women are sc different after they arc married?" wat suggested. ’ Yes. indeed." said Miss Beyle, "and j you know many unhappy marriages are simp’y the result of an unlucky combination of names." DELANO LOSES WA Y IN WOODS President of Wabash Railroad, Daugh ter and Companiors Forced to Sleep in Open. Chicago.—Lest in the pine woods of northern Michigan and forced to sleep in the open, with only the towering pines above them, was the experience of Frederic A. Delano, president of the Wabash railroad, who was accom panied by his daughter. Miss Cather ine Delano; Frank H. Scott and the Utter s daughter. One night was spent this way, and late on the afternoon of the second day. when the little party had recon ciled themselves to the situation and were preparing to make a more perma nent camp, they were found by a searching party and escorted to the headquarters of the Huron Mountain Hunting and Fishing club, from which they had strayed. The little party had wandered oS into the forest, and when night began to fall realized that they had lost their way. Shouting brought no re [ sponge, so camp was made of pine boughs and a fire was started with the last match Mr. Delano had. Berries alone constituted the food of the party until rescuers came. ENGLISH TELL FREAK TALES One Village Reports Cow Milked by Snake—Frogs “Cried Like Rabbits.” London.—Winsted. Litchfield coun ty, Connecticut, seat of so many mar vels. will do well to keep an eye on Its laurels. British emulators are enter ing the field. The little Olouchester shire village of Coddington made the first bid by promulgating the report that the cows of the countryside were being milked by snakes. This report flourished so by traveling that yards of articles published in rural news papers related how a farm laborer had had a desperate struggle with a boa constrictor which he caught in the act of kidnaping a valuable Alderney cow. Meanwhile, spurred to action by all the attention showered upon Ood dington. the village oi Temple Bottom. near Cruwys-Morchard. in Devonshire, took a hand in the game. Jack Ayre awoke his neighbors one night with the report that, having just traveled on foot over a long stretch of road from an adjacent village he had found i the ground covered with thousands of frogs that “cried like rabbits." It was midnight when the adventur er made the discovery, and he opined that the frogs had been show ered dowh from the clouds. $340 For 1793 Coin. New York.—Henry Chapman, a nu I mismatist, paid $340 for a 1-cent piece at an auction the other day. The price, according to dealers, is the largest ever paid for a penny. Two hundred and seventy-five dollars is the biggest previous price which could be remem bered. The coin was struck in the i year 1793. It is of the "liberty cap” i variety and was formerly owned by !
