MANY WITHDRAW THEIR MONEY Government Unable to Meet Payrolls For Past Ten Days, Some Men Getting Nothing. Mexico City.—The government lias encountered some difficulties in meet ing the payrolls for the past teu days. In some of the departments only partial payments have been made, with the promise to the men that the remainder would be forthcoming. In other departments payment had to be deferred entirely. However, the gov ernment has now secured funds and has begun giving the men in ail de partments their money. Rumors of the inability of the ad ! ministration to meet its financial en gagements spread over the city with another persistently circulated ru mor that President Huerta purposed to levy a tax of 15 per cent on all bank deposits. The latter report spread to such an extent that many depositors withdrew their funds from various banks. Apparently there was basis for the report. Many leading bankers said they knew nothing here of it other than the talk that was going on in the street- The withdrawals did not reach the proportions of runs on the banks, but bankers appeared apprehensive that this might be the result should the excitement continue. The man ager of one of the leading banks ex pressed the opinion that President Huerta, who thus far has confined his financial efforts to legal bounds, would not attempt to adopt such a measure as levying a 15 per cent tax _>n deposits. There is a distinctly high tension of expectancy here and on all sides the belief is freely expressed, both by Mexicans and foreigners, that the ad ministration is facing a financial crisis. It is said that the banks and business houses have been reluctant to pay up for shares in the 8.000,000 peso loan to which they recently sub scribed. Many persons are alleged to have subscribed to the loan under pressure. I Testifies Against Murphy. New York.—John A.

McCall, the democratic candidate for mayor, and others. Headache Tablets Kill Bride. Lincoln, Neb.—Mrs.W . W. Voght, a bride of two weeks, died in this city after taking some tablets for a headache.

Destruction of one of the smaller buildings at the Milford industrial home for women a few days ago called attention once more to the fact that the state of Nebraska does not insure Its property against fire, but carries the risk Itself. Whether or not this Is a wise policy has been argued at different times by members of the State boards having supervision of its institutions and buildings. Experi ence, however, seems to indicate that It is the cheapest insurance the stats could get NO KISSING AMONG JAPANESE Oaculatlon Regarded by Natives as the Height of Bad Manners and Foolishness. Tokio, Japan.—In a recent number of the Far East, published in Tokio. a Japanese contributor, Smimasa Idi chi, who writes excellent English, re lates some of his surprising adven tures among the kissing races of the west. He describes the horror of Eng lish women of his acquaintance when he told them that he had never kissed his mother in all his life. "The first thing an English child learns is how to kiss,” he says. "The first thing a Japanese child learns is how to bow.” i -1 Maiden to Whom Kiss la Unknown, i Kissing is not practiced in Japan, he j told his English friends, not because | the people are stony-hearted, but be cause “it is regarded as the height of ] bad manners." The kis3 in Japan, it seems, is fit ; only to be bestowed upon young in- ! fants by their mothers. “A Japanese | mother is often seen to kiss the baby | in her arms," says this Japanese wri- ! ter, “but when the baby leaves its ; mother's arms—that is, when it can get along by itself and feels a sort of semi-consciousness—it would not al low its mother to kiss it.” He men tions the complaint of western visit tors to Japan that “we Japanese ex pose too much our natural bodies.” Though the natural body “is one of the most beautiful forms on earth,” the Japanese critic of kissing cou- i cedes that it should not be too much : exposed. He adds: "Our natural feel- ] ings are really exquisite. Their ex- j posure beyoud a certain limit, how- j ever, is equally offensive to our sense ; of decorum.” Much of the kissing that he ob served in England distressed this sen sitive Japanese not a little. “When I saw,’’ he writes, “an old couple, with careworn faces and tottering steps kissing each other on the pavement of the London streets I could not help feeling rather unpleasant. I cannot give an adequate reason for it, but Bomehow 1 do not feel pleasant when I see the conventional custom of kiss ing between married people kept up | to old age.” Surely it is impossible for a westerner to fathom the Oriental mind. This Japanese observer got into an odd predicament through other peo- i pie's kissing. He was strolling about i Hampstead heath one day when he found himself in a narrow footpath, and In front of him he saw a young man and a girl seated on a bench. “Presently,” he relates, "the two beads came closer, and they were finally lost behind the girl's hat. I knew what was going on behind the scenes, so 1 stopped short and pretended to be looking another way so as not to dis turb their happy state. Now and then I turned toward the scene to see if j it was already over. 1 was in this 1 predicament for about half an hour (It ' seemed so long to me), but the two heads still remaind in close attach ment. At last I gave up waiting till ! the end of the scene and crossed the field, taking another path.” FIND COLONY OF RATTLERS, _ Exhibit on an Alabama Farm That Lost its Owner a Prospective Renter. Gadsden. Ala.—George Duncan took Osburn McQueen out to see a tract of land, expecting to rent it to him for the coming year. In looking over the farm they saw two large rattlers, which they shot and killed, one of which bad nine rat tles and the other six. When they finished the killing of those two they discovered that the ground was full of these deadly reptiles and they then began the slaughter, and when they could find no more they piled them up and began to count and saw that they had killed 32. Thirty of them were small fellows, having one rattle each, showing they were only one year old, and measuring from 12 to 18 inches long. It is needless to say that Mr. Dun can lost a renter. Mr. McQueen said one or two rattlers did not frighten him, but when it came to 30 in one pile he would let the other fellow take the place. TAKE UP THY BED AND FLOAT A Parisian Has Discovered a Mattress and Life Saver While at ! Sea in One. Paris—A large Paris factory Is busy filling an order for thousands of mattresses which are pronounced un sinkable mattresses. An unnamed ex perimenter recently discovered a vegetable substance which is light, supple and soft enough for use as mattresses in berths aboard a ship, and at the same time unsinkable. Every 1 passenger on the ship furnished w'*.h these mattresses—If they are what is j said of them—will have an ideal life j preserver in his bed. Several large steamship companies are said to have decided to replace • their present bedding with these ne* mattresses. I ENDS DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION.

GOSSIP OF THE BIG CITY About as Entertaining as the Usual Cf.sual Conversation When Men Meet. “You're looking out of temper this morning," remarked Avenue. “That's because I’m a cross ptreet,” Street replied. "Besides, I had an un pleasant experience lost night. A etreet light fell on me. By the way, what’s the matter with Elevated?” “Don’t know. He’s up in the air, but why I can't say. I never could under stand that fellow. He’s always ’way over my head. I'm afraid he's not satisfied with his station.” "He’s no worse than Tower. That fellow looks down on all of us. Has his head ’way up in the clouds." "Yes," replied Avenue, "he has a high opinion of himself, and if he ever does take a tumble—why, what’s the matter?” “Nothing,” replied Street, “only my foot’s asleep.” GIRLS! GIRLS!

A few years of school dental clinics have made toothbrush drills a daily familiar idea in many cities. It took the Toronto public nurses, or rather their supervisor, Lina L. Rogers, to originate another drill quite as unique and importance.
