"WE’RE GONNA LET OFF
A LITTLE STEAM”
‘ New York, Jan. 15.-The “buzz
tank is full of gasoline and Iain
full of cheer,” Harold 0. liinney,
weatlhy attorney, told three po
licemen at Broadway and Forty
second street early yesterday.
“We’re gonna let off a little
steam.”
Then Binney made a Vander
bilt cup track of the heart of
Manhattan in a powerful racer.
Most of the time he encircled the
block on two wheels. An army
of taxicabs and police chased him
but he was slopped only by the
automobile’s boiler running dry.
A recent escapade by Binney
was in San Francisco. .He made
good use of his time on a trans
continental train and a young
woman whom he met agreed to
be his bride. He bought, her a
trousseau, but shortly before the
wedding hour sent the woman the
following note: “I think I would
rather go to I,os Angeles than
marry you.”
George Goshaw was a passen
ger for Seward on official busi
ness.
Mrs. Horace Del.ine and child
returned from the staler, on litis
morning’s steamer.

ALWAYS AGREE
TO DISAGREE
llolyoko, Mass., Jan. 15.—Meal
jtime proves an inevitable bone of
icontention in the case of the sev
'en-months-old Siamese twin
daughters.of Mr. and Mrs. John
K. Gibbs, for never by any chance
will both twins agree upon the
j appetite question. While one is
!howling for the bottle the other
! indignantly shoves it away, and
jail efforts to confine their meals
j to regular intervals have so far
'proved fruitless. In the. matter
| of sleeping it is also difficult to
j produce any sort of harmony, for
'one will usually be wide awake
land playful when the other wants
j to slumber.
They are attached to each other
at the hips, bill in every other
way arc perfectly normal. Sur
geons have decided not to make
any extended examination of the
I twins until the get older, as it
j would be dangerous to try to sep
Jarate them by an operation until
they reach the age of six years
j at least. Many experts say it will
| be impossible ever to separate
j them.

REFORM IN TURKEY.
Tlu’,\ look old Abdul from his
throne and sent him off to live
alone and feed on bread and
cheese; they look his seven hun
dred squaws and scattered them
.’.round as straws are scattered by
I lie breeze. Then said the Young
Uplifting Turks:
' Just watch us run I lie bloom
ing works and cleanse corrup
tion's pool. The lid is oh the Ty
rant now. and peace shall rest on
Turkey’s brow, when (we, the pec
pul. rule. From nations that are
wise and great we’ll learn the
way to legislate and gather help
ful hints; we'll pass a thousand
bully laws and elocute until our
jaws are done up in splints."
Now look at Turkey, reader fair,
and not the peace that's reigning
there; the peace so lately born,
and mark the happy people sing
and smile and dance their High
land tling and chorlle--in a horn.
The little war of which you wot
has shown the Sick Man has dry
rot in body, soul and brains; of
honesty there is no trace, there's
crookedness in every place, and
rascals hold the reins. And in
the homes of Turkish men they
long for Abdul back again, for,
though he was a knave, he didn’t
claim to be a saint, or on his brow
a halo paint, or of the. peepul rave.
You can endure a rough old crook
who shows by every act and look
that lie is wholly vile; Iml heaven
sa\e us from the frauds who foot
us with their moral gawds and
spring the saintly smile.

invigorate it by bringing your

If you have something for sale
write up an advertisement telling

It will bring results. Try It.
