Families Without Them Will Not
Bo Admitted.
SPECIAL OFFER FOR BIRTHS ,
Landlord of St. Louis Apartment
Building Will Give a Month's Rent ,
Free to Parent * For a Girl and Two
Month * For a Boy Several Novel
Features.
Pinna were recently filed with the
building department of St. Louis foi
| in njmrtuipiit house exclusively for
ffamllics with children. The doors of
' Mils house , which Is to cost $400,000 ,
will bo shut against bachelors , old
.tnmlds and childless couples. One
hlld will bo n badge of admittance ,
i3jut tlio family with a dozen children
vlll be welcomed with open arms. It
3s the first apartment house of Its kind
5n the United States , and It will rise
between two large nnd fashionable
Biouse * which forbid children.
S. D. Ledcrer , a real estate broker ,
Is the originator of the Idea , nnd ho
nfonnd ready backing for the scheme.
JIo has n whole chain of novelties.
"With every girl born in the house he
will present n receipted bill for one
month's rent to the parents. Lcderer
minces twice ns high a value on boys ,
aw every boy born will mean to the
parents a receipted bill for two
- months' rent.
, The building will be of eight stories ,
ind there will be fifty-four apart
ments. Each apartment will have n
apcclally equipped playroom. In ad
dition there will bo a large playroom
Hn the basement , nnd In the slimmer
the children will disport themselves
on the roof. A dancing room will bo
provided , and dancing teachers will In
truct the children without charge to
ithii parents. There also will be In
atructors In physical culture , nnd It Is
[ proposed to establish a kindergarten.
"I am convinced the apartment
Chouse for children will fill a real
wnnt , " said Lodercr. "It will be the
only one of its kind In the country , but
1 expect to sco many more like it
Why , as soon ns I gave out my plans
Sinlf n dozen millionaires wanted to
fcnck the venture single handed. They
jsaw the possibilities in it , nnd thej
wondered it hadn't been tried before.
"Every applicant will have to trot
out the youngsters before I rent him
sin apartment. Children will be the
requirement. Ono child will do , but
the moro the merrier. If n man conies
along with a score of children ho wll
ibe my prize tenant , and I'll put n
amiss plate on his door.
"It's easy to figure It out from the
financial standpoint. With children In
Kvory family there will be no com
jplnlnts on the score of noise. Then
snnrrlcd couples with children are the
most stable tenants nnd are less llkelj
to move. They nro the best rent pay
rs , too , as all statistics show. "
One of the features of the house wll !

0)DD ) TRAIN HOLDUP.
'Booster Drawn Under Locomotive Se
Emergency Air Brake.
Rushing along at a rate of slxtj
miles an hour , going to New York , the
.New Jersey Central's fast express
ttrnln Queen of the Valley , which lef
"Wllkeibnrre , Pa. , at 8 o'clock the other
nnornlng , came to n sudden stop be
< ween Bethlehem nnd Freemansburj ,
following the application by some ngen
< y , then a mystery , of the emergencj
ailr brake under the locomotive.
With such abruptness did the train
atop that the passengers were thrown
cabout In tbelr scats. By the time they
3iad an opportunity to leave the cars
Engineer Tripper found the cause of
the trouble.
An eight pound Plymouth Rock roost
er scratching along the track had been
drawn under the engine by the suc
tion of the train with such force as to
sever the nlr connections nnd stop the
train.
The crew took the bird with them as
a memento of the flrst train holdup
that was ever pulled off by a chicken.
Theater Nurseries.
Wr. Jefferson , manager of the Met
ropolo theater In Glasgow , proposes to
rnnkc the experiment of establishing
night creches for the use of visitors
ivlth babies attending his entertain
ments. As. Mr. Jefferson enters al
most entirely for n working class area ,
Sic believes that the scheme will meet
tbe difficulties of a domestic situation
\vhlch affects many of his patrons. '
SCIght nurseries will be attached to the |
theater , with a staff of nurses nnd
-equipped with cots , toys and baby
: food. A nominal charge of twopence
sind threepence a night will be made ,
and food will be supplied at cost price
or the parents' own food given if they
prefer to bring It with them.
Persons wishing to see the nursery
In operation between the acts of the
play will bo allowed to do BO on pay-

The Chautauqua Idea. ' '
What the forum was to ancient
Rome the chautnuqua has become to
the United States of America , with the
difference that there was only ono fo1
tutu , while In America almost 1,000
chatitauquas are In active operation in
all parts of the country and the num1 ,
her Is rapidly Increasing as the years
go by. j I '
In other years people of the villages ,
hamlets and countryside could only
hr
read of great statesmen , orators and.
preachers j ; , but they could rarely see or
hear thorn without taking long pilgrimj
ages. Now , by moans of the chautau-
qua , the best nnd greatest talent in all
the world Is brought nt Insignificant
cost to your very doors. The chautau-
qua Idea is ono of the greatest moral
nnd educational forces in the country.
The Inspiration received from it is a,1
guide to the pathway and n lamp to
the feet of thousands.
The great reforms which have re
cently swept over our country are
largely traceable to the presence of
the strong men who have spoken so
fearlessly on the chnutauqua platform
In the last dozen years , nnd the millIons -
Ions of people who have gathered at
these annual meetings to listen to
thorn have had their consciences so
awakened that they have demanded
that those In authority should Instl-
.ute these reforms.
The chautauqua movement Is thor
oughly undenominational , and here
icoplo of all creeds and parties com
mingle thoughtfully and lovingly. The
shnutnuqun is organized on high'
ground and has high alms. It appeals
: o the thoughtful and cultured , and
seeks to displace some forms of amuse-1
ment which are unworthy nnd fraught
with danger.
More nnd more In these strenuous'
days people feel the need of a little
vacation. Earnest people are hardly
willing to waste time in a vacation
which does not bring them a little in
tellectual uplift ; hence the phenom
enal growth of the chautauqua idea.
A chautauqua is a benediction to any
community In which It abides. It ap
peals in its varied program to bothj
young nnd old , and is certain to culti
vate high Ideals of living nnd thought.
In presenting the following program ,
the management Is not building for
the present only , but for the future as
well and it Is our aim to give a pro-i
gram of such high ideals and excel
lent character as to merit your patronage -
ago and insure a permanent chautau
qua assembly.
The program is one of the strongest
and best which has ever been offered
In the great state of Nebraska , and
Includes , besides lecturers of national
fame , music and other features , the
very best which genius can devise or
money procure. The holders of season
tickets get for only a few pennies lec
tures and concerts which ordinarily
would cost them not less than fifty
cents to n dollar. Every right-minded
citizen of the community should give
their loyal support and co-operation.

son In art.
"Mr. Swlckoy , the popular artist ,
gave us two of his demonstrated art
lectures 1 at our chautauqua. Wo have
had 1 the best of the nation's talent on
our platform , yet never n nicer evening -

The Midland Jubilee Singers
I have como to bo recognized ns the
' leading company of real jubilee singers -
, ers , who sing the old-fashioned plantation

the olden days. Mr. Hann , the leader ,
'has ' a rich , deep , melodious voice of
igreat I volume and it conies quite nat-
jural ' for him to sing and to conduct
You will enjoy n real treat and be
highly entertained when you hear

without n doubt they are the best on
the chautauqua platform. Mr. Hann ,
the manager , Is a product of our
Freedman's Aid school. " B. P. Hart

Dr. H. W. Sears
found his mission when ho began by
1 his lectures to drive out the blues and
,
I rout the demons of grumbling with his
[ scourge of satire , wit and humor. He
Jig Sam Jones and Dr. Willltts in one ,
[ for the has the pungent sarcasm and
brilliant gift of the one and the pa
thetlc nnd inspiring power of the
other. Hla lecture "More Taffy and
Less Epltaphy" is both side-splitting
and inspiring. His "Grumblers and
Their Cure" should be given in every
town in the land.
"I have heard Dr. H. W. Sears in his
lectures on 'More Taffy and Less Ep-
itaphy' and 'Grumblers and Their
Cure. ' Ho touched in me the foun
tains of laughter and tears , ana won

Gov. Luther Manshlp
Of Mississippi has been on the lecture
ilatform for ten years and has come
o be regarded as one of the south's
greatest humorists and orators. You
vlll never understand the humor and
pathos of the old time southern negro
until you hear Governor Manship in
ils peerless entertainment.
'Governor Manshlp's words were
well chosen and eloquent. The old
line southern negro he presents with
iuch exquisite accuracy that the eyes
see the speaker but mistily , as mem
ories of other days come back , and
aughtor follows quickly at some touch
of nature which rings clear and true. "
The Herald , Laurens , S. C.
Ellsworth Plurostead ,
The "Raggedy Man , " goes rapidly
'rom grave to gay , from lively to se
vere. He understands human nature
ind "takes off" the people we see

hear and see not Plumstead , but the
character itself. Plumstead always
'strikes twelve. "
"I was delighted and interested In
your splendid work at Old Salem chau
: auqua. It takes a star to hold six
thousand people as you held them on
; hat occasion. Your success is on

Dr. Irl R. Hicks
[ s known the world over as the
"weather prophet" of St. Louis. His

wants to see nnd hear him. A great
scholar , a great thinker and a great
heart , characterize this grand and
good man , nnd with the exception of
President Taft , ex-President Roosevelt
and Wm. Jennings Bryan , no other
man is so well known through the
whole country as he. There has not
been an important volcanic disturb
ance in the known world in years that
he has not foretold.
"Both as to subject matter and man
ner of delivery , the lecture given by
Rov. Irl R. Hicks , nt the Cabanne

Instructive and entertaining ever giv
en there. The house wns crowded

interpretation of his great themes.
"His presentation of the lectures
nnd sermons of the late Sam Jones
Is nearly perfect. Shut your eyes am
the great southern preacher la again

local boundaries.

A MEERSCHAUM PIPE.
It Requires Careful Smoking to CoUr
It Properly.
Ordinarily n meerschaum pipe la
boiled for coloring In n preparation of
wax , which Is absorbed and n thin
coating of wax Is held on the surface
of the pipe nnd made to take n high
polish. Under the wax Is retained the
oil of tobacco , which Is absorbed by
the pipe , and Its hue grows darker In
proportion to the tobacco used. A
ntocrschnum pipe at first should be
smoked very slowly , and before n second
end bowlful Is lighted the pipe should
cool off. This Is to keep the wax as
far up tlio bowl ns possible , and
rapid smoking will overheat , driving
t" -ax off and leaving the pipe dry
and ruw.
A new pipe should never be smoked
outdoors In extremely cold weather.
Fill the pipe and smoke down about
one-third , or to the height to which
you wish color. Leave the remainder
of the tobacco In the pipe and do not
empty or disturb It for several weeks ,
or until the desired color IB obtained.
When smoking put fresh ( obucco on
the top and smoke to the same level.
When once burned the pipe cannot bo
satisfactorily colored unless the burnt
ed portion li removed and the surface
again treated by the process by which
meerschaum Is prepared. The color1
Ing Is produced by the action of the
smoke upon the oils nnd wax which
are superficially on the exterior of the
pipe and are applied in the same process -

neighboring town. Part of the way
was over a corduroy road. The drum
mer's business detained him longer
than he expected , and when he finally
got back in the buggy for the return
trip he found that he would have to
drive some to catch n train.
He made the livery outfit scamper

ho felt something snap and knew that
he had broken a spring on the buggy.
Ho saws visions of having to make
the damage good to old Henry. When
he reached the barn he jumped out and
said :
"Henry , I broke n spring. How
much do I owe you ? "
"How did you break it , Gus ? " asked
the liveryman.
"Driving like the dickens over n
rough road. " the drummer answered
frankly.
"Then you don't owe me anything. "
"Why , how's thatr

JULIANA'S FIRST SALUTE.
Sergeant Rewarded For Presenting
Arms to Holland's Little Princess.
While on guard the other morning
nt the gate leading from the palace
garden nt The Hague , Holland , into
Molenstraat a sergeant of grenadiers
observed tbo approach of n white per
ambulator pushed by a nurse. Foi
five seconds he looked at the approach
ing vehicle ; then , suddenly realising
that It was the little Princess Juliana ,
daughter of Queen Wllhelmlnn , taking
her first airing , he came to attention
and presented arms , although the prin
cess slumbered on unconscious of the
honor.
In the afternoon the sergeant was
told by his colonel to repair to the
palace in full uniform , as the prince
consort wanted to speak to him. The
prince told him that ho had seen the
salute frr/m the window. He had no
ticed the soldier's moment of hesita
tion and subsequent salute and so pro-
eented him with a banknote to provldi
npon its appeal to the public. The
new paper would have to prove that
the truth well told is moro interesting
than the most lurid lies , a difficult
but by no means impossible task.
"And the office of this successful
newspaper would be the training
school for Journalists. Hither would
come the college graduates from every
state , just as they now come to the
law school , to spend ono , two or three
years In professional study. "
As to whether this scheme can be
put Into effect its author says :
"I flrst had this vision a year ago ,
nnd now I am rapidly growing to be
lieve that It can be realized. It has
appealed to all my college mates and
has Interested my elders. And n dream
In which the young men believe nnd
to which the old men listen is sure to
come true. "
Even its author was surprised with
the effect of this article. He said of it :
"As to the university Itself , the plan
has been much more warmly wel
comed by the members of the faculty
than I expected. Nearly all the mem
bers of the English department are en-
thuslastlcally In favor of It. I am
much pleased with the general Interest
U has aroused. " New York Times.

Jimmy Trent out to the hydrant ,
moistened his wash rag and nibbed

returned to the schoolroom.

Oakdnle Sentinel : Last Saturday
afternoon a party of young men , five
in number , drove over from Elgin , ex
pecting to spend the time until the
evening following In fishing along the
Elkhorn. They had n liberal supply of
liquid halt , which was in danger of beIng -
Ing spoiled by the hot weather , and in
their search for the iceman wound up
at the Star barn. The boys had taken
on enough of the ohejoyful fluid to put
them in an extremely sociable mood ,
and a short time after their arrival
three of the party were arrested on
the charge of "selling nnd giving
away" beor. It appears that as soon ns
it was discovered that there was beer
at the barn a number of the extra dry
assembled and were caught In the act
of drinking by J. S. Stringfollow and
L. V. Bralnard , members of the town
board , who secured Dr. Minton , an
other of the city officials , to lodge n
complaint as before mentioned. The
latter took charge of the refreshments
and had them taken to the office of
Police Judge Thornton , where the ac
cused were arraigned. Jake Davis ,
who claimed to be only driver for the
party nnd In no way interested in the
beer , was released , and John Dorr and
Fred Wickstron were cited to appear
Monday morning at 9 o'clock , the
amount of their bond being fixed nt
$1,000. Messrs. Strlngfellow and
Bralnard went to Nellgh Sunday after
noon nnd employed J. F. Boyd to pros
ecute the case for the board , and T.
M. Franso of West Point was em
ployed by Messrs. Dorr and Wickstron ,
At the hearing Monday enough testi
mony was introduced to convince the
judge that the young men should bo
bound over to the district court , and
they were released after giving a $300
bond. Messrs. Derr nnd Wickstron
are residents of West Point , but have
been employed as masons on the new
buildings being erected at Elgin. The
confiscated beer , about three cases ,
was turned over to Marshal Roby , who
has it securely hidden. It is believed
that the arrest of these parties will
servo as a warning to other who might
feel disposed to test the elasticity of
the law.
