Leos Gifts in Kind
The most remarkable feature of the
estate of Pope Leo XIII prove3 to be
the enormous gifts in kind which for
years flowed in upon Leo XIII from the
while civilized world These it ap
pears were given in charge oC care
takers whose zeal was none of the
most intelligent In the result there
are now being unearthed for the first
time sucks of coffee and sugar ren
dered useless by years of storage
quantities of rare furs and still more
precious collections of bkls from Bra

through having been simply stowed
away as they arrived without even
beine unpacked The losses incurred
in this way represent a very large sum

I The Courts Exceptional Tact
Postmaster General Payne was de
scribing an old time Milwaukee judge
who had been noted for his kind
heart
I attended one day said Mr
Payne a session of the court at
which this judge presided The court
crier was a very old man he had
served with fidelity for many years
but age was beginning now to tell on
him He fell asleep while I was in
tho court house and in a little while
ho was snoring
His snores of course disturbed the
proceedings of the court The judge
displayed great tact in interrupting
them without embarrassing the crier
-V prier Jones he said in a loud
voice Crier Jones some one is snor
ing
The crier awakened He started
to his feet
Silence he exclaimed There
must be no snoring in the court room
and he glared ferociously about him
Alls well that ends according to
your own diagram of the finish

Has He Found It
Polk Ark Nov 9 A remedy that
will absolutely cure Rheumatism has
been discovered by Mr George Hiland
of this place Mr Hiland is satisfied
that the remedy he has used is a sure
cure for it cured him of a very seri
ous case of Acute Rheumatism when
he was so bad that he could not move
This is what he says
I was troubled with what is called
Acute Rheumatism in 1900 I was in
such shape that I could not move with
out help I was treated by a physician
who helped me some but I was still in
great pain when my wife saw Dodds
Kidney Pills advertised as a cure for
Rheumatism She insisted on my try
ing them and I felt better after taking
tho first box I continued and now I
am well and able to work all the time
I have found Dodds Kidney Pills to be
just what they are claimed to be a
perfect cure for Rheumatism
Mr Hilands very positive statement
neems to settle all doubt as to whether
or nbt Rheumatism can be cured

ROUGH ON THE DOCTOR
Stonecutters Explanation Was Some
what Unflattering
The novelist Thomas A Janvier
has lived for a number of years In
trance and has collected many folk
tales and anecdotes of the French
peasantry
I heard a story of a physician the
other day Mr Janvier said recently
He was a physician of Provence and
one morning stopping his gig he en
tered into condescending talk with a
tombstone maker
While the talk went on the tomb
stone man did not cease to work He
had a chisel in one hand and a mal
let in tne other He was carving up
on his tomb the words Sacred to the
memory of and the rest he
would leave blank
This proceeding for some reason
amused the physician Watching the
stone cutter he laugned heartily
Why said the other do you
laugh
Because your way of work amuses
me the physician said Bo you al
ways cut out upon your headstones
the beginning of the obituary and
then wait
No said the stone cutter not al
ways When there is some one sick
and you are treating him I keep right
on
Sources of the Earthquakes
The great earthquakes are traced
by a committee of the British associa
tion to eight districts of which seven
are beneath the ocean Five fringe
the shores of the Pacific one is in the
Indian ocean one in the West Indies
and the eighth is in the Caucasian
Himilayan region Each of these
earthquakes shook the entire earth
while the broken up strata left gave
numerous after shocks The earth
quake movement is propagated around
the globe at the uniform rate of about
two miles per second but through
the earth the rate increases with the
depth to about seven miles per sec

BOY WAS A DIPLOMAT
Went to Work In Neat Way to Secure
Tip
Hon Wilson S Bissell of Buffalo
conducted at one time a partnership
in law with Grover Cleveland Mr
Cleveland during his partnership fre
quently went hunting and fishing and
would never fail on his return to send
a bird or bass to Bissell
One day a servant of Mr Cleveland
a boy of seventeen or thereabouts
brought from his master to Bissell a
basket of fish Mr Bissell thanked
the lad and then felt in his pocket
for a quarter but his pocket was
empty of silver it contained nothing
but notes of large denomination
Thank you for the fish my boy
repeated Mr Bissell and he turned
again to his desk He thought it
hardly worth while to explain that he
had no change He doubted if the lad
was anxious enough for a tip to be
willing to ransack the neighborhood
for change for a large bill But here
the boy set him right
Mr Bissell he said excuse me
and he wriggled diffidently
Well my lad what is it
Why said the boy when I go
back home and tell Mr Cleveland that
I delivered the fish if he asks me
what you gave me what would you
like me to say to him sir
A Relic of Nero
The government has undertaken ex
cavations on the site of the Campus
Martius and has discovered remains
and foundations of the monument
erected by the Roman Senate 13 B C
under the consulship of Nero and
Quintilius in honor of the Emperor
Augustus after his victories in Spain
and Gaul
The remains now discovered to
gether with those collected in 1S50
and preserved in museums are suffi
cient to allow of the reconstruction of
the monument which is symbolic of
peace and it is hoped to complete the
work on the occasion of the Czars

CURED OF BAD HABIT
Little Incident That Taught thp Youth
a Lesson
Never but once did I go to my task
with a blear That morning my
computations were so riotous and I
was so set on distributing my checks
into the wrong pigeonholes that I
went to the cashier about 11 oclock
to ask permission to go home He
looked at me keenly and said not
unkindly
Last night is responsible for this
morning Let me tell you right here
that you cant do that sort of thing
and make a banker of yourself no
matter what j our name is No keep
at your work to day make your errors
face the consequences of them even
if you are fined for them I guess
your mortification will be the best
cure for you
What a wise man he was I never
presented myself in that condition
again It was payng too much

Some curious anecdotes are related
of Hermann Zumpe the Wagnerian
conductor at Munich who died sud
denly a few weeks ago He was well
known to be a spiritualist and be
liever that the ghosts of dead com

works One day Zumpe told another
conductor of note how Beethovens
spirit was present during the perform

pleased was the ghost after the end

At last Ah my dear fellow ex

Beethoven made a mistake He

New York Streets Are Crowded
Pedestrianism as a means of exer

HUMP SYSTEM OF SWITCHING RAILROAD CARS
them from bumninc too hard into the
j cars on the track into which they run
When a train is seen coming over the
hump these car riders there are
about fifteen in the yard run for the
incline The cars go over the hump
rapidly and fast work is required of
the men who ride the cars As soon
as they have ridden a car to its des
tination they drop off and run back to
meet another runaway They are all
young men Their work requires ex-
United States and the one in the rail
road yard at Hawthorne 111 marks a
new era in one class of railroad work
In this yard at the west foot of the
hill is a mesh of tracks for westbound
trains Solid trains are pushed up
the east approach of the incline and
when- the cars are at the top of the
hill they are cut off one or two at a
time as the case may be and allowed
to run down the west side of the hill
Upon different tracks upon which are
the trains of which they are to form
parts
the hump is interesting An engine
is coupled to a train of cars The
train is pushed slowly up until the top
of the hump is reached Just where
the cars begin to pitch down the in
cline a switchman stands who cuts off
the cars singly or in bunches accord
ing to the trams they are to go into
Each car has been previously marked
with the number of the -track into
which it is to be dropped
Going down the incline the cars are
ridden by switchmen who regulate the
speed with hand brakes to prevent
treme agility and into it enters a
large element of danger not only in
the catching and climbing of cars but
in keeping out of the way of flying
cars on the other tracks
It is predicted by those who have
watched the work of the huvip that
in a comparatively short time there
will be a hump in every large rail
road yard in the country and that the
old method of switching cars and mak
ing up trains at grade will be done
away with except in small yards at
way stations
CASE OF SATISFIED AMBITION
Young Womans Long Wished For De
sire Gratified
Two young women were discussing
their late vacations at a well known
club for business women down town
says the New York Press Ono of
them said enthusiastically
Of course you found the scenery
inspiring but what part of your trip
did you really enjoy the most
The other woman gave vent to a
rippling laugh and replied
Well if you want to know the
truth it was my meals in the restaur
ants attached to the various stations
where I made close connections
The first speaker a confirmed trav
eler gasped incredulously but the
second continued her explanation
It was the first time in my life that
really felt free to spend money just as
I liked and I took a childish satisfac
tion in the depot restaurants not
lunch counters mind you but dining
rooms with real tables and table
cloths As a child I suffered tortures
of indigestion and mortification from
being forced to eat out of a family
lunch basket where everything had ab
sorbed the flavor of everything else
To leave that lunch basket or shoe
box at home and enter the sacred pre
cincts of a depot restaurant was one
of the ambitions of my girlhood I
presume no ambition is so small that
its gratification does not bring a cer
tain sense of exultation
A Man That Pays His Way
A mere man stepped briskly up to
the office of one of our prominent ho
tels threw down a nickel and said to
the genial clerk Please give me an
envelope and two sheets of paper
The butt end of all complaints who is
lord of all he surveys nearly fainted
As he handed out the stationery he
shoved back the cois saying No
charge sir We dont sell station
ery Then I do not want it was
the reply I am not a guest of this
hotel and do not at the moment in
tend to become such I wanted to
write a letter I should use your pen
ink and table with a chair thrown in
and very likely would be temporarily
in the way of a guest It seems to me
that a nickel is none too large a price
to pay for the accommodation He
disappeared before the clerk recov
ered his wits Well thats the first
time ever ejaculated Sir Geniality
In all my hotel experience I never
heard of anything like it Im con
founded But why not sell paper en
velopes etc We give away an enor

accuracy of this and the lawyer said
We will leave it to Congressman

HAPPY DAYS
When Friends Say How Well You
Look
What happy days are those when all
our friends say How well you look
We can bring those days by a little
care in the seiection of food just as
ihis young man did
I had suffered from dyspepsia for
three years and last summer was so
bad I was unable to attend school he
says I was very thin and my appe
tite at times was poor while again it
was craving I was dizzy and my
food always used to ferment instead
of digesting Crossness unhapp ness
and nervousness were very prominent
symptoms
Late in the summer I went to visit
a sister and there I saw and used
Grape Nuts I had heard of this fa
mous food before but never was in
terested enough to try it for I never
knew how really good it was But
when I came home we used Grape
Nuts in our household all the time and
I soon began to note changes in my
health I improved steadily and am
now strong and well in every way
and am back at school able to get
my lessons with ease and pleasure
and can remember them too for the
improvement In my mental power is
very noticeable and 1 get good marks
in my studies which always seemed
difficult before
I have no more of the bad symp
toms given above but feel fine and
strong and happy and it is mighty
pleasant to hear my friends say
How well you look Name civen
