Falls City has been handieappe heretofore by not. having a good place to take care of her local “toughs.” If she sent them to jail it. just meant three square meals and a good bed to them and a lot of expense to the city, and if she turned them out on good behavior they were as had a ever.

A coltish Californian of nine ty-two years elopes with a blush ing inaid of seventy. That’s a wonderful climate! A bellboy of the Waldorf-As toria is to wed an heiress. Sure ly, he is impelled thereto by no financial necessity. Clocked hosiery is said to be the lntest thing in women’s ap parel, but why clocked with the harem skirt to hide it ? The government is talking of again coining a two-and-a-half cent piece You can just smell the cigar that would go with it. There arc no more deuces than aces in a deck, but we seem to hold more of them. If a man must be a witness, lie likes to be one of those who know very little about the case. Lawyers can’t have much fun with that kind. Aside from those who are in, or who have nothing to do but try to ggt in, “Society”.doesn’t seem very important to anyone. When a man keeps llolsteins, lie is apt to tell you that a Jer sey cow is all right for cream, hut that the milk doesn’t amount to much. If you keep yourself good-na tured, you have a large contract which should keep you from worrying over the plight of the grouches. A good many men say they bad rather be hanged than sent to prison for life, hut most of them are men who have never been sentenced to hang. While the college man expects to show the world how to run, you will observe that the num ber of book agents is greatly in creased with the coming of the summer vacation. New hairdressing styles reveal that woman’s crowning glory is amenably to sudden shifts. Cats should be shaved, for theii whiskers are full of microbes. For that blue feeling try the sunny side of the street. What is better than good fish ing? New York is suffering from a lobster famine of the crustacean variety. Human lobsters are still as plentiful as usual. The head waiter who has d vised the public not to tip under certain conditions should watch his soup keenly for paris green. A Connecticut pastor lias re cently adopted the practice of serving refreshments to induce his flock to attend church. Feed ing his flock, as it were. A Wisconsin farmer uses a phonograph to call his cows from the fields Thus science and agriculture arc going along hand in hand. New York shipped $3,000,000 in worn out currency to Washing ton, there to be destroyed. New York is an awful place to wear out one’s money. Brides an* falling on hard times and stern advisers. One matrimonial expert denounces their tendency to keep their hus band's love by making themselves beautiful, and another declares that to make -their homes happy they must learn to cook. But it is doubtful if the up-to-date! brides will heed such advice.! They are beginning to believe that women ought to have some of the fun which is going on on the earth. A woman in Passaic, N. .T., who apparently has fasted for 25 days, says that angels feed her. Which tends to confirm the suspicion! that she is acting. A woman can get some satis faction out of crying over a sad, piay but a man can't. Young society women of Wash ington are ambitious to be avia tors. In other words, those up to-date in tlie styles will be liter al high-flyers I If you weren’t allowed to talk, you probably could think of a gcod deal to say. ' bile you may not be a “pro fessional” man, your work is just as important. A good many people seem to over estimate the economical val u * of the abbreviation. - I Some men never get anything ahead because they have lots of, kin on both sides of them. — Ore thing in favor of the boy bandit is that he doesn’t often gro v up. Does the o. f. man with a moustache still get a moustouche cap for a birthday present? Most other warnings have a little more effect than the one not to drink too much ice water. _ <* It is the skeptic’s theory that the man who’s tried and true, has ’nt been tried long enough. The wild currant managed to nose out ahead of the mulberry but it didn’t have much of a lead Judging from some mens sig natures, it must have taken them quite awhile to learn not to write TWO KILLED IN TORNADO PEKIN, ILLINOIS IS VISITED BY A TWISTER, Peoria, 111 , May 28—A torna do struck Pekin, 111., ten miles south of this city, at 1 o’clock this afternoon, killing two people and causing property damage tha will amount to thousands of dol lars.

Wire communication of all kind is completely at a standstill. St.Louis, May 28- A storm that almost attained the dimmensions of a tornado in parts of this city this afternoon wrought consider able damage to' residences and in the parks. A physician, Dr. J. J.

SHAMMING COSTS BOY’S LIFE. Wichita Lad Who Called in Fun for Kelp Is Allowed to Drown Wichita, Kas., May 2f>.— Ora Richardson, 13 years old, a charge at the Kansas Masonic home, was drowned in the Arkan sas river here today. The boy, who could not swim, waded out into the river and fell into a hole made by a sand pump. Several boys from the home got permission to go out for an afternoon’s vacation and were wading around in the shallow water. Richardson pretended he was drowning and cried for help several times in fun and when he fell into the hole and cried in earnest several larger boys who were swimming thought he was still shamming and did not go to his rescue.

DOMINGUEZ TAKES POSITIOI AT HEAD OF THE NEW GOVERNMENT Mexico City, May 25.— Presi dent Diaz, in a letter received by the chamber of deputies, resign ed the presidency of the republic of Mexico and at 4:54 o’clock the acceptance of the resignation by tlie deputies was announced. Every one had expected an up joar and demonstration when the announcement was made, but in the chamber the words announc ing the event were followed by silence. The deputies seemed awed by what had taken place. In the streets, however, black with people, every street lead ing to the hall being blocked, news that Diaz was at last no more the president was the sig nal for wild shouting and mani festations. There was no vio lence and no destruction of pro perty. On the motion to accept the president’s resignation lfi7 depu ties voted aye, while two of them did not express themselves. They were Benito Juarez, a des centant of President Juarez, and Concepcion Del Valle. As their names were called the legislature arose and bowed their affirma tion. In similar fashion the re signation of Vice President Ra mon Corral, now in France, was unanimously accepted and simil arly Francisco Lean de la Barra late ambassador to Washington, was chosen provisional president. The latter will take the oath of office at noon tomorrow in the yellow parlor of the national palace. - Of scarcely less interest in the popular mind was the practical assumption of military control of the federal district by Alfredo Robles Dominguez, Madero’s per sonal representative. Personally Dominguez commands only a. small body of local rebels, but the federal garrison is under orders to make no move whatso ever without securing his approv al. Senor Dominguez stated he can bring 5,000 organized rebel troops into tlie city within three hours.
