ELITE STUDIO Saley's Old Stand. """ 'Amending His Constitution. A well known attorney of heavy build and pompous to a degree that frequently reaches the state of being overbearing was leaving his ofliee in a Broad street building the other day. With his high hat on aud carrying a walking stick, he had stepped upon the sidewalk when he slipped and lauded flat upon the pavement with a thud that shocked him as well as caused embarrassment. Just then another :ittorue3 who en Joys an equal distinction iu the legal world passed and laughed at the fallen lawyer. When the latter was trying to get up he remarked to the other: "I guess 1 am getting old.. Sly con stitution will not stand what it did years ago." As he arose to his feet his friend facetiously remarked, "Well, then, Dick, you ought to get an amendment to your constitution." Looking at his friend with a cold stare, as cold as the ice he had fallen upon, he asked: "Well, what kind of an amendment would you suggest, if you know so mucuV" "I don't know exactly," was the re ply. "I don't give advice to my clients without some kind of a retainer, but as you are an old friend of mine I would suggest a cushion or a mat tress." Sliuneapolis Journal. Salt Water Cataracts. There are a good many salt water cataracts in existence. They may be found in Norway, southern Chile and British Columbia, where narrow fiords, or arms of the sea, are obstructed by barriers of rock. The rising tide Hows over and filters through such reefs into the great natural reservoirs beyond, but the water is held back at the ebb until it breaks over the obstruction in an Irresistible torrent. Slost curious of all is the waterfall at Cauoe Pas sage, where the island of Vancouver approaches the Britisli Columbia main land. Here the flood tide from the gulf of Georgia to the southward is held back at a narrow cleft between two Islands until it pours over in a boiling cascade eighteen feet high, with perhaps double the volume of the tEnlne. At the turn of the tide, how ever, the waters from the north rush 'back Into the gulf, producing a cas cade of equal height and volume. The waterfall actually flows both ways. Truthful. It was 4 a. m., and Bilklns crept softly into the house and removed his shoes, but as he tiptoed upstairs one of the treads gave a loud creak. "Is that you, John?" demanded Sirs.

The country schoolteacher had been telling her scholars about the season and their peculiarities, and to imprest their minds with the facts she que tloned them upon the points she had given. Several queries had been put. and finally she reached the stupid boy In the corner. "Well, Johnny," she said, "have you been paying attention?" "Yes'in," he answered promptly. "I'm glad to hear it. Now. can you tell me what there is in the spring?" "Yes'm, I can. but I don't want to." "Oh, yes. you do. Don't be afraid. Tou have heard the others. Be a good boy, now, aud tell us what there is in the spring." "W'y w'y mum, there's a frog an a lizard air a ueau cat in it. nut 1 didn't put 'em there. It was anothc: fcoy, for I seen him do it." Exchange. Sending a Man to Coventry. The expression "sending to Coven try" had a, military origin. It arose, so it is said, in the days of Charles h, when the inhabitants of Coventry strongly objected to any intercourse' with the military quartered in their town, aud a woman known to speak to a man iu a scarlet cloak was at once the subject of scandal. So rigid were the natives that the soldier was con fined to the mess room for conversa tion. Thus the term "sending a man Jo Coventry" if you wished to shut hi.:: from society took root in the Kuglish language. London Chronicle.

The horizon at sea gives no idea of the liinit!e water beyond.

TEXAS FAVORS SAN FRANCISCO Decided Falling Off In Enthusiast la Lone Star State as Evidenced by Articles Appearing In Papers of Ei Paso and San Antonio Swing In Line For the California City as the Logical Sits. While New Orleans Is Industrious ly claiming the ondorsement af the Mississippi valley region and the middle west it is allowing tae "solid south" to waver in its supposed si legiancc and slip away. A few days ago word cam from San Antonio, Tex., that there was a decided falling off of Xew Orleans exposition enthusiasts In that city owinu to the greed of the Crescent City iu attempting to secure the Na tional Bankers' convention for next year, after San Antonio had put in a bid for their entertainment. Such action was not considered neighborly, especially after the Texas city had been asked to support New Orleans in its struggle for exposition honors. Now El Paso, Tex., has apparently swung into line for San. Francisco as against New Orleans as the log ical site for -the Panama exposition. Judging by the following in the El Puo Herald of Oct 12: "EI Paeo's Interest as to the loca tion of tho Panama exposition of 1915 all lies with San Francisco as against New Orleans. As one commentator says: 'There never was an exposi tion so successful as that at Seattle, and there never was oao so forlorn a failure as that at Jamestown, Va., notwithstanding the fact that half the population of the country is with in a day's or a night's ride of James town. An exposition ct San Fran cisco will promote the development of the west and that is what we are after." Sometime r.go New Orleans secured an endorsement in St. Louis and that access appears to have induced the belief ameng tho Crescent City boost ers that the entire middle west was ply waiting for an Invitation to climb on the New Orleans band wagon. Next New Orleans announced that Omaha was for it, but the announce ment was premature. In its hurry to report result the New Orleans bu reau at Omaha sent broadcast over fee country that New Orleans had been endorsed as the exposition city by the Commercial club, the largest and most influential organisation of business men there. Immediately the Commercial club held a n:ee:injj, repudiated the alleg ed endorsement of New Orleans and endorsed San Francisco by an over Wheiihlns vote. The city council of Omaha, by unanimous vote, passed a resolution also endorsing San Fran cisco. Still asserting title to the sympathy end influence of the entire middle west section, the New Orleans boost ers descended upon Chicago and re uesteS an endorsement. The re quest was politely but firmly refused, but New Orlc.-.ns. nothing daunted, continued to "claim" Chicago's sup port, ceniident in the belief that the endorsement would ccme later. But on Oct. 7 Chicago showed unmistak ably where she stood in the exposi tion fight when the National Business League of America adopted a. resolu tion, which after setting forth the ad vantages of San Francisco, conclud ed, "That Sau Francisco be, and hereby is, strongly recommended as the proper site for the proposed ex positicn." New Orltans suffered another re buff when she sought the endorse ment of Washington, D. C. Washing ton refused, whereupon the New Or leans promoters dismissed the sub ject with the remark that Washing ton did net count anyway. New Orleans "hopes" to raise about $8,000,000 fcr her proposed exposi tion, which will be entirely inade quate for so great an undertaking, rot Senator Foster of Louisiana seeks to minimize the Importance of having sufficient funds to insure the success of the enterprise. Admitting that San Fraaeisco will have more than twice as much money for expo sition purposes as New Orleans, he pleads thet "it would be mean and infair for congress to take that fact into consideration." California Solid For Exposition. Supporters of San Francisco's claim to the Panama exposition in 1915 are confident that an overwhelming dis play of exposition funds will win gov ernment recognition to the fair It is proposed to hold on the Pacific coast K California is as solidly united on this project as the utterances of Cali fornia editors would indicate the rep resentaties of that state will appear b6foro congress this winter with a fund' of $17,500,000 raised through private subscription, city bends and a state tax. It may be that New Orleans will make some announcement of a heavy raise at the last moment, but the Pa cific coast is disposed to believe that its showing will overshadow anything New Orleans can do in tho way of furnishing the sinews of war and ex position.

For an instant there was a profound silence, for as he uttered the last word he encountered the stony stare of the lady who had been in his mind. Thea his wife came to the rescue.

A large and pompous person, wear ing a high hat. a long coat, yellow spats and a congenial sneer, for sev eral days made himself obnoxious around a Washington hotel a bit ago. lie announced he was from New York, ragged the bellboys, jawed the clerks, cussed the service, roared at the food, complained about bis room and the elevator and the telephones and the bar and everything else. One afternoon he walked over to the porter and said: "Here, you; I'm going to quit this town and go back to New York, where I can get some decent service. I want you to buy me two seats in a parlor car on the 4 o'clock New York train. Get me two scats, now, and meet me at the station with the tickets. I want one chair to sit in and one to put my feet in." The seats were delivered at the train Just before it pulled out. One of the seats was In car No. 3 and the other was located in car No. 4. Saturday Evening Post. Juvenile Suicides. "A generation ago the taking of their own lives by minors was almost an un heard of occurrence," said a physician. "Now it is becoming alarmingly fre quent not only in this country, but in Europe. In most cases the phenome non can be set down to the artificial life people lead and to the complex conditions of modern existence. Very often parents are too ambitious for their children and by constant appeals to them so work on the nervous tem peraments of their offspring as to bring on a derangement of the mental faculties. One of the most noted spe cialists of France. Dr. Berillon. who has made a study of the matter, as serts that children who have a suicidal tendency arc for the most part want ing in the sense of smell. lie makes recommendation that all who suffer from this defect should be taken to an expert for examination, as it might tend to forestall some future tragedy. Baltimore American. The First Automobilist. Nicholas Joseph Cugnot was the first automobilist. Many years before Ste phenson had introduced his railway locomotive Cugnot. who was a mili tary engineer, had made a locomotive for roads. His locomotive has been piously preserved at the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers. Cugnot died In 1804. His lot was not that of many geniuses. He did not die In want. Na poleon had secured him n pension of 1,000 francs passing rich on $200 a year. In this respect the premier con sul showed more enlightenment than be did in regard to Fulton of steamboat fame, whom he considered it is dis tressing to write an adventurer. Cug not's carriage was built to transport arms and he had designed a service gun. These achievements alone would be a passport to Napoleon's favor. London Globe. His Luxurious Pillow. "When sleeping cars first came In," said a railroad man. "the bedclothes in the berths were very scanty. On one of these early cars one night after everybody had turned In and the lights were low a loud voice called from an upper berth: " 'Porter, got a corkscrew?' "The porter came hurrying down the aisle. '"Boss. he said hi a scandalized tone, 'we don't allow no drinkin' in the berths. It's against the rules. " 'Oh. it ain't that, porter,' the voice answered. I just want to dig out a pillow that's sort of worked its way Into my ear.' " The Persian Crow's Beak. There is a weapon known as the crow's beak which was formerly much In use among men of rank in Persia 'and north India. It was a horseman's weapon and consisted of a broad curved dagger blade fixed at right angles to a shaft, pickax fashion. The shaft incloses a dagger, unscrewing at the butt end. This concealed dagger is a very common feature of Indian arms and especially of the battleazes of Persia. iwmv 2mim Htfft - frvM'ivu : CHICAGO FAVORS ""SAN FRANCISCO 6ato City lodorsMl Foi HaMtog Parana Exposition STRONG RESOLUTION ADOPTED Action of National Business League f America In Support of the Cali fornia City as the Most Desirable Plaoe to Celebrate the Completion f the Panama Canal Bound to Exert a Wiae Influence. Tho business men of Chicago are far San Francisco as the meet desir able site for the exposition to cele brate the completion of the Panama canal in 1915. The National Business League of America, on Oct. 7, adopt ed a resolution endorsing San Fran cisco and this action by such an in fluential body of representative busi ness men hi bound to exert wide In fluence throughout the middle west and the east. This endorsement, following close ly on the failure of New Orleans to secure a Chicago endorsement is par ticularly pleasing to Scat Francisco. The resolution follows: "Whereas, The Panama canal will, when completed, unite the waters of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans and create new opportunities for the ad vancement of American commerce; and, "Whereas, The citizens of San Francisco, in the state of California. Ynlted States of America, have pub licly declared their intention of hold ing an international exposition in the .year 1915, under the title 'The Panama-Pacific International Exposition,' to fittingly celebrate the completion f the Panama canal; and. "Whereas. The. Pacific coast has an equable and healthful climate, and San Francisco has every modern fa cility for the comfort and entertain ment of a large concourse of people, with ample opportunities for side trips to other coast cities: and, "Whereas. By any route, a pilgrim age to the Pacific coast would be through scenes of beauty and gran deur unrivaled in any other part of the world, the trip to the exposition should be made, at least cue way, by a route through the Panama canal, ft order that visitors and the world at large may become familiar with that wonderful achievement; there fore, be it "Resolved By the Board of Direc tors of the National Business League of America, that San Francisco be. and hereby is, strongly recommended as the proper site for the proposed cxfecitlon; and the board further recommend3 that a line of commodi ous passenger steamers be establish ed to ply to and fro, through the canal, between the Atlantic coast cities and cities of the Pacific coast, primarily for the purpose of enabling visitors to the exposition to inspect acid canal." SAN FRANCISCO THE ONLY PUCE MaMfactflrerof Detroit Boosts tie Exposition. W. B. Knickerbocker, a prominent manufacturer of Detroit. Mich., is an enthusiastic booster for San Fran cisco in the fight for congressional approval of its proposed Panama-Pacific exposition. "I believe that If the members of congress could be brought out to Cal ifornia and given a glinipso of things as they exist here they would vote solidly for San Francisco when the exposition matter comes before them next December," said Mr. Knicker bocker. "It Is a human instinct to move westward, and the great movement toward western America is just now beginning. This is a great, marvel ous, new country, of which we in the east know next to nothing. "There is no travel south. The ex position belongs here where the peo ple are coming. They will come to the exposition through the canal and faem go back through this marvelous western country. Many, however, impressed by the marvelous re sources of California, will remain kare for good. This scenery, the mountains, the forests and all the rest of it hi not approached by any thing in- Europe. Thousands of peo ple who now go to Europe would rather some here if they knew what la here. They are beginning to learn. The exposition will do wonders for the west. The interest of the coun try at large demands that the expo sition be held here." Praductlvtnesa cf California Lands. It is interesting to note the pro etacts of such a state as California and total the value of all the yield ef the soil hi the far-western domain. The soil ia California produced S455.
