Los Angeles. The founder of the
iBorrowed Time club of Oak Park , a
suburb of Chicago , Philander W. Barclay -
clay , is in Los Angeles. His idea in
starting the club , which was to bring
a little more radiance into the life of
men past three-score years and ten ,
was an innovation and has been
copied in many places.
Mr. Barclay is living with his sister
at the Pierce apartments for a few
.weeks , and already he has stirred up
.sufficient interest among men of Los
.Angeles to start one of the unique
clubs in which none but those more
than seventy may belong. He is not ,
himself , an aged man , but a young one
who took his tip from the conversa
tions of men around the stoves of the
grocery stores , in the little shops and
wherever they congregated. "These
'men were interesting because often
times they threw new light on sub
jects of history , on the lives of fa
mous men or on old celebrities of a
local character , " said Mr. Barclay.
"As a rule they seemed to have no
place to go and were seldom welcome
to the places they went. It gave me
'the idea that if I could find them a
place to meet , give them an oppor
tunity of getting together among
themselves , they might be made hap
pier. "
Among the novelties of the club is
CALLS MEN OF U. S. FEMININE
Critic Says American Husband Is
Mere Money Earner Society
Wife Is the Boss.
Berlin. According to an article by
Henry F. Urban , who is recognized
jin Germany as a keen , good natured
social critic , freedom of action by
American society women , especially
in New York , is possible because
American society men are feminine
and the women masculine.
"A smart New York woman , " Herr
Urban says , "is not merely a com
plete aristocrat , but she has some
thing queenly in her disposition , and
at the same time is far more natural
and unaffected than her European
sisters.
"The explanation is that from
youth onward she is taught to con
sider herself a sort of higher species
before whom mere man must bow
the knee. She expects her male rela
tions , including her grandfather , and
all other men must find her charm
ing.
"She takes the greatest care of her
person. She is pious ; she is devoted
to sport. The result of her education
is a slim , healthy , amiable , highly in
dependent , exacting , well informed
young ia < ? / . * *
All Amrican women , Herr Urban
contends , have one passion in com
mon love of shopping which is un
dertaken without any intent to pur
chase but solely as a pastime.
As for the American society hus
band , he , according to Herr Urban , "is
a mere money earner , who must ac
custom himself to smile obligingly ,
talk nothings , and look like a gentle
man. "
a system of preserving the memories
of its members by means of phonograph
graph records of their voices. Now
and again an evening is given to the
stories told by departed comrades.
The men sit and listen almost in awe
to voices out of the past , recounting
fond memories and singing well
known ballads.
From this device the Chicago His
torical society has adopted a plan of
making imperishable the speeches of
some of the noted persons of taat
city , reproducing them with the aid of
the phonograph for the benefit of fu
ture generations. The same idea is
being used in other cities for perpetu
ation of the memory of great men.
The name of the Borrowed Time
club came from the idea that three
score years and ten is the allotted
time of life and that men who have
lived beyond this mark are living on
borrowed time.
"In our club several are ninety
years oldMr. . Barclay said.
Sang Herself to Death.
Leavenworth , Kan. Anna Self , a
negro , died from cerebral hemorrhage
resulting from singing in the negro
mission choir last night. Overexertion -
tion in a fervor of religious enthusi
asm caused an artery in her- forehead
to burst and she became unconscious
almost immediately. She was thirty-
nine years old.
Dr. Wu , Again Minister to United
States , Is Welcomed.
Three Times Representative of Celes
tials Arrives at Washington and
Is Gladly Received by All To
Be Called Ambassador.
Washington. The appointment of
Dr. Wu Ting Fang , as minister
to the United States from the
new republic of China is a matter
of satisfaction and interest to Wash
ington. Doctor Wu has twice be
fore this represented his govern
ment in the American capital , and is
probably the best-known Chinaman in
this country. While there is no offi
cial authority for the statement , it is
hinted that the post in Washington
will be made an embassy instead of
a legation in the near future. Doctor
Wu will then be promoted from minis
ter to ambassador.
Before the recent change of govern
ment in the Flowery Kingdom a new
minister had been appointed to suc
ceed Mr. Chang Yin Tang , the incum
bent , but owing to the exigencies of
politics , the transfer war delayed un
til it was decided that Doctor Wu was
the logical man for the place. On his
last visit to Washington he announced
that he would return again , as he in
tended to live far beyond the century
mark.
During one of his former sojourns
in Washington he became interested
in the work of Mrs. Henderson , wife
of former Senator John B. Henderson
of Missouri , and with her promulgated
the doctrine of vegetarianism and to
tal abstinence from alcoholic liquors.
He insists that by living on a diet
which he describes for himself any
one may live to any age he desires.
When Doctor Wu was last in Wash
ington he was as curious and active
as at any time , but signs of age had
appeared In his slightly bent figure
and especially in the gray hair which
formed a good share of his queue. A
gray-haired Chinaman is not a com
mon sight in this country. Tbis may
be because emigration is confined to
the young , or if gray hair does not
flourish in the Orient , it may be that
Doctor Wu has made this concession
to the newer civilization. But old or
young Washington stands ready to
welcome the great questioner.
ATE EVERYTHING BUT CAT
Shipwrecked Crew Tells Story of
Great Suffering Following
Disaster.
London. A terrible story of the
sufferings of a shipwrecked crew was
told at Liverpool recently when the
Booth liner , Denis , landed the captain
and six men of the schooner Hibernia ,
which became derelict in mid-Atlan
tic.
The captain stated that for twent-
nine days the men drifted in their
water-logged and dismasted vessel ,
and for fourteen clays they had Neith
er bread nor water. One tin of sal
mon had to serve the seven men.
To quench their thirst they resorted
to chewing tea and their last meal
was a turnip boiled in sea water. Aft
er that the only thing left was the
ship's cat.

; OY SCOUTS FIGHT FLAMES
Bravery and Training of Youths Save
County Almshouse and
Asylum.
New Lisbon. N. J. Fighting the
blaze until the local fire department
arrived , two Boy Scouts saved the
Burlington county alinshouse and
barns on the county farm from de
struction , after lightning had ignited
the big sheep barn during a terrific
electrical shower. The young scouts ,
to whose bravery and knowledge of
firefighting as taught in their organiza
tion , the highest praise is given today
by Superintendent Charles A. Bowne ,
are Robert Taylor , leader , and S. Rog
er Oliver of the Fox patrol of the
First Burlington Troop.
A hundred inmates of the almshouse -
house , most of them aged and en
feebled , and patients in the asylum ad
joining were thrown into panic by the
flames that followed the lightning. The
blaze seemed to menace the entire in
stitution. The burning sheep barn ,
filled with hay , was joined by a row
of sheds to other frame structures and
within 30 yards was the new $5,000
barn , one of the finest in the county.
The scouts , while on a cycling trip ,
had stopped to spend the night with
Superintendent Bowne , a relative of
one of the lads. Taught the science
of firefighting in their scout work ,
both boys got into action at the first
alarm. While many of the inmates
stood about too dazed to act , the
scouts aided the superintendent in un
reeling the fire hose , and Oliver , with
one line , scaled the roof of an adjoining
ing barn and directed a stream on the
flames from above , while Taylor , with
another stream , fought them from be
low.
low.The
The two streams checked the flames
on the side adjoining the nearest barns
until the arrival of the local depart
ment from the nearby village. Taylor
then gave up his place to a regular
fireman and calling together a few
volunteers to aid him. worked his way
into the blazing barn , where the bleat
ing of the imprisoned and suffocating
sheep could be heard above the
crackle of the flames. Creeping on
hands and knees , the courageous lad
seized sheep after sheep , dragged it to
the door and passed it to the line of
men behind him. So close were the
flames that the wool was singed from
the backs of several of the rescued
sheep. Only six were left to perish in
the fire when the heat forced Taylor
to retreat.
"It was one of the finest acts of
heroism I have ever witnessed , " said
Superintendent Bowne. "Those boy
scouts seemed to know just what to
do and they did it. Their work un
doubtedly .saved the county great
loss. "

FOR EVERY FAMILY
MEDICINE CHEST
To the head of every family the
health of its different members is
most important , and the value of an
agreeable laxative that is certain in
its effect is appreciated. One of the
most popular remedies in the family
medicine chest is a combination of
simple laxative herbs with pepsin that
is known to druggists and physicians
as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
preparation is mild and gentle in its
action on the bowels , yet positive in
its effect. A dose of Sj'i'up Pepsin at
night means relief next morning ,
while its tonic properties tone up and
strengthen the muscles of stomach ,
liver and bowels so that these organs
are able in a short time to again per
form their natural functions without
help.
Druggists everywhere sell Dr. Cald
well's Syrup Pepsin in 50c and $1.00
bottles. If you have never tried this
simple , inexpensive , yet effective
remedy , write to Dr. W. B. Caldwell ,
201 Washington St. , Monticello , 111. ,
and ask for a sample bottle. Dr. Cald
well will be glad to send it without
any expense to you whatever.
How His Brother Identified Him.
Uncle Harris , an old negro , who has
been a servant in the family of Colonel
Slemmens of Monticello , Ark. , for the
last forty years , recently made a trip
to Memphis. Upon his return he was
telling the colonel's daughter of his
trip and the discovery of a brother
whom he had not seen for thirty
years.
Miss Slemmens asked him how he
knew his brother after so long a time ,
and Uncle Harris replied :
"I was walking along- the street
when a spare built looking man came
up to me and says : 'Say , ain't you
my brother ? ' and I said , 'Sure I is.
