Find Bones Primeval Man.
A prehistoric burying ground was
disclosed at Point Park Hill, Ohio,
when workmen unearthed the complete
skeleton of a primeval man.
The skeleton, according to Dr. E. F.
Snyder, a scientist and member of th&
International Geographic Society,
nhntrc -mnrlrpr? deviations from that of
the present day human being.
The femur is curved like that of
an ape, the vibis is flat at the joint
and the humerus ha3 a perforation no
longer found. The skull'slopes back
and the lower jaw protrudes.
' Fired Once and Killed 14 Snakes. ,
Charles Wiltbank, of Prospect Park
borough, was gunning for reedbirds
along Darby Creek this morning when
he observed a peculiar looking object
attached to the dead branch of

found a mass of snakes colled together.
He blazed away with both
barrels and several of the snakes ;
wriggled off. but most of them were '
killed. He had slain fourteen reptiles.?Philadelphia

FRAUDS UPON THE FARMER.
Secretary of Agriculture Will Issue
Warning Against Various Schemes.
Schemes to defraud the farmer?
and the would-be farmer?meaning
thfr city man, who is attracted to the
tountry by specious advertisements?

of Agriculture, and It is
probable that Secretary Wilson in hi3
annual report will give a warning to
the over-credulous.

tleft after the cutting of the pine trees
are being advertised as farming lands
of the finest description; undrained
swamps are described as priceless possessions,
and all sorts of inducements
ar? held out to attract purchasers ot
these alleged worthless lands. A
favorite device is to set many thou*
6ands of slips or cuttings of fruit
trees on common range lands ircapa/
ble of producing anything better than
sage brush, and another is to offer to
the unwary seeds or bulbs of some
remarkable hybrid plant that will
produce thousands of dollars an acre.
The real character of these lands,.

inquiry of the State authorities.
A few months ago the Department
of Agriculture caused an investigation
into the merits of a berry which advertised
to be a wonderful hybrid,
combining the properties of the rarest
fruits, but it was found that it had
little or no value as a fruit product.
I Playing the Game in Kansas.
Three Kansas men were visiting
recently. One of them has held important
State offices. The other has
aspirations to be elected to one of
"the big places." They talked of the
latter man's chances, his plans of
conducting his campaign, and so on.
"Let me tell you something," said
the man who has been "in." "Let
me tell you something. Don't worry
about the fellows who are against
you. Under the primary system they
are scattered far and wide. Don't get
any gray hairs over them. That
won't to you any good. To win them
over Jou will be wasting time and
energy and breath, because the
chanfces are you won't win them, anyway:
If they are against you for
v personal reasons?that is, if they are
your personal enemies, or oppose you
for political causes?the chances are
they will vote against you. Go where
your votes are. Keep them sure.

make more votes for you if you keep
'em in line.. That's the game."

Hotel Labels on Trunks.
There is a secret code hidden in
the hotel labels with which travelers'
trunks on the Continent are so profusely
decorated. Globe trotters are
aware that in Switzerland and in
other tourist countries porters or
" waiters stick bills or labels with the
name 01 me uuiei uu mc luggu^
when one leaves.
The trunks look very ugly at the
end of & trip and require a sound j
washing. I have been told that the
place where these labels are stuck
and the way of putting them?upright
or upside down or crosswise?
form an unwritten and suspected
"character." Forewarned, forearmed,
according to an English proverb.
These labels speak, and tell in the
next hotel if the traveler is generous
or not, if good "tips" are to be expected?in
short, what the prey is
worth.?Notes and Queries.
RESULTS OF FOOD
Health and Natural Conditions Come j
From Right Feeding.
Man, physically, should be like a j
nut-fpcrlv regulated machine, eanh
' part working easily In its appropriate
place. A slight derangement causes
undue friction and wear, and frequently
ruins the entire system.
A well known educator of Boston
found a way to keep the brain and
the body in that harmonious co-operation
which make3 a joy of living.
"Two years ago," she writes, "being
in a condition of nervous exhaustion,
I resigned my position as teacher,
which I had held for over forty
years. Since then the entire rest has,
of course, been a benefit, but the use
of Grape-Nuts has removed one great
cause of Illness In the past, namely,
constipation, and Its attendant evils.
"I generally make my entire breakfast
on a raw egg beaten into four
spoonfuls of Grape-Nuts, with a little
hot milk or hot water added. I like
it extremely, my food assimilates, and
my bowels take care of themselves.
I find my brain power and physical
endurance much greater and I know
that the use of the Grape-Nuts has
eontributed largely to this result.

DON'T LOOK FOR FLAWS.
Don't look for flaws 03 you go through life;
And even when you find them
It is wise and kind to be somewhat blind,
And look for the virtue behind them.
For the cloudiest night has a hint of the
light
Somewhere in its shadows hiding;
It is better far to hunt for a star
Than the spots on the sun abiding.
The current life runs every way
To the bosom of God's great ocean;
Don't set your force 'gainst the river's
course
And think to alter its motion.
Don't waste a curse on the universe;
Remember it lived before you;
Don't butt at the storm with your puny
form.
But bend and let it fly o'er you.
The world will never adjust itself
To suit your whim to tne letter;
Some things must go wrong your whole life
long,
And the sooner you know it the better.
It is folly to fight with the Infinite,
And go under at last in the wrestle
Tk * wiser man shapes into God's plan
As the water shapes into the vessel.

I THE AMERICAN WAY. f
| j
$ By ELIZABETH MA80N- * $
"Marry an American!" gasped Penelope.
"Never!"
"I certainly shouldn't if I didn't
want to," said the American.
"Think of being disposed of like so
much merchandise," wailed Penelope.
"It's horrible."
"Exactly what I said when I overheard
the plan," ho said.
"Tell me what they said," commanded
Penelope.
"It's an unpleasant thing to talk
about," pleaded the American, "but
I felt that you ought to know. It
seemed such a pity for you to be imposed
upon?"
"To say nothing of you?" Penelope's
mind reverted to the pretty
American girl, also a guest of the
Walts, in whose company she had
first seen this young man two daj's
ago.
"Don't consider me." said the
American coolly. "It was this way.
[ came upon Mrs. Walt and your aunt
laBt night talking over your affairs
and I listened because?well, I listened;
anyway. Your aunt was saying
that you had lost your father and that
?well?there was a rather large
family of you?"
"Exactly," murmured Penelope as
he hesitated, "and she probably mentioned
how we scrimp to get along?"
"And how sad it was." he pursued,
"that you were so well born that it
would be a kind of disgrace for you
to marry an ordinary sort of person?"
"And so poor," finished Penelope,
"that no extraordinary person would
tnarry me anyway."
The American turned away as Penelope
shook the tears of indignation
from her lashes.
"And Mrs. Walt," he went on hurriedly,
"said that I was the very person
to fill the breach. She told how
[ had made my money, and who my
people were (it's astonishing what
these ladies carry in their minds),
and between them they agreed to put
i match through."
"How dreadful." wailed Penelope,
crimson with mortification.
"I have a plan which I think might
work," suggested the American, helpfully,
"under one condition."
Penelope looked up eagerly.
"On condition that, aside from this
scheme, you don't find me personally
c^jectionable."
"Oh, no," said Penelope, with in-nocent
conviction.
"Then why won't it be wise," said
the American, stniling down at her,
''lof us to seem to humor these match
making ladies. They will see to it
that we sit next to one another at the
table and that we are thrown together
as much as possible. Now, instead
of letting it make you unhappy, you
can be as friendly as vou wish to me
without the least fear of my taking
advantage of you. The ladles will be
put in good humor, you?and I?will
have some very pleasant times, and
when it's over you can simply go- back
home and?marry an Englishman."
"How kind of you," said Penelope,
gratefully. She and the American
shook hands upon the bargain.
Two weeks at a house party is
worth a month of ordinary meetings
for making two people friends, and
the bond which existed between PenelODe
and the American went far to
ward helping things out. It was delightful
to watch the movements of
the scheming ladies in their behalf,
and when they were adroitly left
alone, to laugh at these efforts together,
with a perfect understanding
of the whole situation. The two were
neighbors at dinner, as the American
had prophesied, and when the party
motored, Penelope sat beside the
American as he drov$ his car. Little
by little, astonishing as it may seem,
Penelope entirely forgot about the
contract. She forgot to notice the
match making ladies. And she forgot
that Americans in general had
been considered objectionable. And
she entirely forgot that on the day of
her arrival she had found the American
and the pretty girl of his own
race apparently great friends.
But one morning, the last she was
to spend at the Walts', she had a
slight headache and did not get down
to breakfast. Later when she did
come down she found that the Ameri
cans had gone to walk together. The
sun, which had been bright enough
before, clouded suddenly. Penelope's
headache also began to be much
worse than she had thought it was.
She crept back to her room and
locked the door. Then she sat down
before her mirror and stared at a
rather pale reflection in the glass.
"Why, of course," said Penelope,
miserably. "He was sorry for me
aua net maue mac arrangement. iu
help me ?ut. She knows all about it,
and that'g why she hasn't minded."
After a little while Penelope was
guilty of another wail of dismay.
"I wish," she said, "that he hadn't
told me?i wish he'd never overheard
anything. Perhaps if we hadn't
known, and they had thrown us together
like this, he would have?
liked?me." But afterward Penelope
cried, for she reflected that no man
with such pretty countrywomen of bis
J*.
own would be In the least likely to
care for a shy little English girl.
When Penelope came down In her
tailored suit to go away, the American
met her in the hall. He looked
worried.
"How's your headache?" he asked.
"It's all right, thank you," said
Penelope, trying to smile.
"Come here a moment," said the
American aDrupuy. pusuyu upeu
the. library door. Penelope's aunt,
who was about to descend the stairs,
discreetly vanished.
"It really doesn't bother me
much," repeated Penelope, as the
American continued to look anxiously
at her. "Did?did you have a pleasant
walk?" she went on, striving to
speak quite politely.
"Walk? Oh, yes," murmured the
American. "I suppose our walks are
over for all time, Miss Penelope. Are
you glad you're going back home?to
marry an Englishman?"
There was a stinging sensation behind
Penelope's blue eyes, and as she
put up her handkerchief to relieve it,
quite suddenly she found herself sobbing
against the American's shoulder.
"I've wanted you since I' first saw
you, but I could not let you like me
except by your own free will," he
said earnestly. "But, Penelope, if
you do?and if you would marry an
American?"
"When I said I wouldn't," murmured
Penelope, "I didn't know how^
nice they are."
But the match makers still protest
it was all their work.?Boston Post.

Crime on One Page.
The segregation of all accounts of
crime in a newspaper on one page was
the Idea presented to the Federation
of Women's Clubs In annual session
at Rochester, -N. Y., by Mrs. A. C.
risk, newspaper and magazine ^riter.
The Federation, after Mrs. Fisk'a
address, adopted resolutions In favor
of the plan, which, if adopted by
newspapers, would ailow subscribers
to tear out the crime page of the
paper before their children could read
of the murders, robberies, elopements,
divorces and other too frank adult
doings.
"I have talked with proprietors of
the largest papers from the Pacific
Coast to Rochester," said Mrs. Fisk",
and they are perfectly willing to
segregate crime In their issues if the
people want it served that way.

istless. Little Carl stamped the chill
it of his feet and felt to see if. his
right quarter was still safe In his ,
ousers poefeet. ' " \
At that moment, a portly woman (
rushed his elbow in passing, and (
tray rolled ,tha#^hin^g coin across j
le sidewalk. Carl rushed' out of \
ne after It.
The woman, turning round, saw the 1
mpty place,; and as the guard was ]
ot looking her way, and as Carl was j
aly a child, serenely slipped into the t
acancy. Carl squeezed back into f
le little remaining space and said
othing. He realized, however, the l
;rlous difference this one woman, j
Light make in his chances of getting
ue of the limited number of seats; j
All the forenoon schoolgirls from
irther down the line had been coujit- j
ig the people ahead of them and calllatlng
their own prospects of get- j
ng in, and Carl had heard one of
lem count, "Five hundred and one?
ve hundred and two," as she passed
im. And there were only five hun- <
red and five available seats, and
hen f. those were taken the doors v
ould close. *' i
Presently the guards formed'5 the j
jlumn in a compact and, r&^ilar |
rder. Carl cried joyfully to Mad- ]
line: j
"They're going in! The line's j
loving! They're going in!" I
His heart beat rapidly and hie
reath came in gasps as he aproached
the door. Soon he would 3
ie his idol. At last he was right in
ont of the tallyman, and as he
assed he heard the man call, "Five
undred five! No more to-day!"
So Madeline, too, had got in! .But
hen he turned, laughing, he saw the
uard put his arm before her and beIn
to close the gate.
He was number five hundred and
ve! He jumped back and plushed
[adeline within the doors just as

Their instrument, a kind of

A good story is told of the terri- ,.j
:orlals who have recently been in
jamp. On the first night, when they
"turned in," they were instructed ,
low to lie dotfn and roll themselves j
in their blankets, and generally make
themselves comfortable. An officer,
having seen his company "tucked
In," was reminded by a satirical civilian
that he had forgotten something.
,
"What's that?" was the tfnery.
"You haven't kissed them goodnight."
The silence was oppressive.?Judy.
