Mulcted of 915.000.
CHICAGO, Oct. 10.—Edward R.
West, vice president of C. D. Gregg
Tea & Coffee company of New York
and Chicago, admitted today that he
was the "A. R. Wesley" who was
trapped In a New York hotel with
"Alice Williams” by representatives
of the international hand of Mann
act blackmailers now held by federal
authorities. After being taken pris
oner to Chicago he was mulcted of
$16,000 on the strength of a fake
federal warrant.
ANCIENT TOBACCO.
Tibatans Ar# Said ta Hava Uaad tha
Waad 2,200 Yaara Ago.
It to generally supposed that tobacco
was unknown In the old world until
after the discovery of America. But
there 1s excellent evidence that It was
known and used In Tibet as early as
377 B. G. In a note to an article In the
Geographical Review Dr. Berthold Lau
fer of the Field Museum of Natural
History, Chicago, writes as follows:
"Among the many curiosities of the
Tlbetan-Engllsh dictionary, published
in 1902 by Sarat Chamlra Das, the well
known Bengull student of Tibetan and
explorer of Tibet, we read that the evil
drug tobacco (In Tibetan tha-ma-kha)
appeared In ancient time about 100
years after the death of Buddha, which
would yield the date 377 B. C., and that
mention to made of tobacco also in the
writings of a lama who to dated In the
twelfth century A. D.
“In 1908 I enjoyed the privilege of
spending several months In Lassa villa,
the house of Das, In Darjeeling, and
when one evening, In the course of a
learned conversation with him, I ven
tured to draw bis attention to this
chronological anomaly and the post
Columblan Introduction of tobacco Into
Europe and Asia be replied, ‘This to
your tradition, and that (pointing to the
passage in his dictionary) to our tradi
tion, and our traditions certainly are as
good as yours.’ ”
THE HOUSE WREN.
A Good Little Friend That 8hould Be
Protected From 8parrowa.
A little friend worth having Is the
wren. During Its working hours It will
pry Into nooks and crannies ubout the
garden and orchard, picking up grass
hoppers, spiders, beetles, thousand leg
ged worms—anything wbleh Isn't too
big for It to carry off. When It Is
through work It will perch on the front
porch of Its little home, lift Its head
and sing a warbling little song tbnt
will delight your heart
H Is called the house wren because it
prefers a little box bouse for Its home.
A. generation ago It built a nest In boles
in trees, hi hollow fence rulls or even
in an old hat. Then came the sparrow,
and the wren’B nest was raided.
Since then the wren's only refuge Is
In u nest which has a door too small to
admit Its enemy, the sparrow. If you
want the wren to spend a summer
with you build a home with a door not
more than an Inch In diameter. This
will bar tbe sparrow and give the
smaller bird easy entry.
Years of continuous fighting against
tbe sparrows tins given tbe wren a
temper like a spoiled child. It ruffles
Us feutherH at tbe slightest Interrup
tion. When It has Its own way, with a
good home and plenty to eat, it Is as
cheerful as a Sunda'y school picnic.—
Philadelphia North American.
Power of Words.
"For me,” writes I-nfcadlo Hearn
In the "Japanese Letters of Lafcadlo
Hearn,” “words buve color, form, char
acter. They have faces, ports, man
ners, gesticulations; they have moods,
humors, eccentricities; they have tints,
tones, personalities.”
A good instance of this power ap
pears In a description of Patti's sing
ing: “There was a great dim pressure,
a stilling heat, a whispering of silks, a
weight of toilet perfumes. Then came
an awful hush. All the silks stopped
whispering. And then suddenly sweet
ened out through that dead, hot air a
clear, cool, tense thread gust of melody
uullke any sound 1 ever heard be
fore save—In tropical nights—from the
throat of a mocking bird. It was ‘Auld
Lang Syne’ only, but with never a
tremolo or artifice, a marvelous, auda
clous simplicity of utterance.”
When Baronets Wsrs Bold.
It was In the reign of good King
James that baronets first came Into
existence. Today you could hardly tell
a baronet from a banker. But In the
year lfin, when James I. needed ready
money and created 200 “little barons"
to supply him with cash, they swag
gered about In their baldrics and sash
es and behaved In the courtliest of
fashion. Bach baronet In order to
justify his title had to maintain a
small army of thirty soldiers for three
years. In this way the crafty king
not only Increased his revenue, but
actually lightened his expenses.—Lon
don Telegraph.
How Amateur Mechanics Work.
“What do you do when anything goes
wrong with your car?"
“I tinker with the carburetor."
“Does that remedy the difficulty?"
“It never has, but I always tinker
with It anyhow In the hope that possi
bly that may be the cause of the trOu
ble."—Detroit Free Press.
The Aftermath.
"What became of that candidate for
yoor alster*a hand?”
"He won out And say I"
"Well?”
"He hasn’t redeemed any of his nu
merous pledges.”—Louisville Courier
Journal.
No Repairs Necessary.

umbrella when It Is completely worn

Aids to Conversation.
"Books help a man’s conversation."
“Undoubtedly. But the man who
buys them seldom gets to be as good
a talker as the man who sold them to
him.” __
He is unfortunate and on the road to
ruin who will not do what he can, but
Is ambitious to do what he cannot—
Goethe.

ORDER TO AVOID LAW
_i
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Oct. 10 —
Bathing girls appeared hore today In
new style stockings, consisting of
stripes of black paint, applied either
laterally or longitudinally, as the
wearers wished to achieve the ap
pearance of slimness or plumpness.
The girls are perfectly, satisfied
with themselves but the authorities
have Insisted that stockings must he
worn on the beach.
The life guards confessed they were
deceived by the new ruse. Only one
of the girls with painted hosiery ven
tured Into the surf. Before she was
knee deep the colors began to run.
Rather than resemble an Master egg
she ran away.

MAN-KILLING HKAK IH
niXIU N TO 1*1 KOKH
LIVINGSTON, Mont., Oct. 10.—A
few hours after Frank Welch, a gov
ernment teamster, died In the Military
Hospital at Mammoth Hot Spring.
Yellowstone National Park, from a
mauling received from a bear, the
animal was blown to pieces with dyna
mite by Welch's companions.
Welch was asleep under a wagon
loaded with supplies for the troops
in the park when he was attacked by
the bear. Two drivers who were
with Welch drove the animal off, but
knowing it would return, they placed
dynamite, connected with a small
electric battery, under a pile of army
bacon a short distance from camp.
When the bear returned the trap
was exploded as he nosed the halt.
NEW DISEASE FOR
MUNITION WORKERS
BALTIMORE. Md„ Oct. 10.—A
new disease has appeared among the
munitions workers in Baltimore
plants. It is almost impossible to
conceive of a man’s blood exploding
in his veins, but nevertheless this is
just what happens when a munitions
worker is affected. Several employes
of the DuPont works at Carney Point.
Delaware have been treated for the
strange malady at Mercy hospital and
at the City hospital at Iiayview.
The explosions occur only in the
very smallest veins.
MAYOR’S SON HELPS
STRIKERS BREAK LAW
TACOMA, Oct. 10.—Recent investi
gations here over acts of lawnessness
in the strike of the longshoremen,
just ended, shows that Mayor Faw
cett's son was in an auto with strik
ing longshoremen, which pursued and
fired several shots at an auto filled
with strikebreakers. The investiga
tion shows that the authorities made
no attempt to keep order and in fact
rather encouraged violence on the
part of the striking longshoremen for
political purposes.
