Thursday, October 30. 1913 How He Knew. "No." complained the Scotch professor to his students; "ye dinna use your faculties of observation. Ye dinna use them. For instance?" Picking up a jar of chemicals of vile odor he stuck one finger into it and then into his mouth. "Taste it, gentlemen!" he com, manded, as he passed the vessel from student to student. After each one had licked his finger, and had felt rebellion through his whole soul, the oK professor exclaimed triumphantly: "1 tof ye so. Ye dinna use your faculties. For if ye had observed ye would ha' seen that the finger I stuck into the jar was nae the finger I stuck into my mouth."?Ladies' Home Journal. -< * *. Bandit Shoots Five in Denver. Denver, Col., Oct. 24.?A bandit running amuck near the heart of the city early today held up five pedestrians within a few blocks and shot and instantly killed T. J. Chase, of Palmer Lake, Col., and mortally wounded E. A. Clark, of this city. The bandit fled before an automobile tilled with police, who traced him from the scene of one hold-up to another only to arrive too late. The shooting began when the bandid held up Antonio Fuguris, a street sweeper, sending a bullet through his hat. A few minutes later Clark staggered into a drug store with a bullet through his right lung. Four blocks away Chase met his death. Without a word the bandit shot him through the heart. He held up and robbed two others without shooting them. Pointed Paragraphs. Mild weather predictions never take the place of a fall overcoat. The fluent talker never seems so interesting after the first session. Those strange bedfellows of poli tics are often restless sleepers. There is a proper place for man's backbone. Do not poke it at everyone you meet. If your attempts at flattery have no effect on women, it is time for you to say good night. Occasionally you can discover traits of character by observing a citizen gnaw corn from the cob.? Chicago News. Not Yet. The Southern darkey's love of putting off until next spring or later what should be done on the spot is as well known as it is vexatious. One day Major Jackson, a contractor in a Georgia quarry, told Zeb, the general utility man, to . go to the blacksmith shop across the road and bring back a drill that was to be sharpened. About half an hour later the Major saw Zeb come poking around the corner of the office. "Here." he shouted, "where have you been?" "I ain't been, boss," responded Zeb ftKoorfti^Iit "T'c fu-ino " T.innin * X U 4 J A kj v/ ? ??? ^ * M cott's Woman 37 Inches Dead. New Albin, Iowa.?Miss Ruthev Howes, who is dead here, aged 66 years, was reputed to have been the smallest perfectly formed woman in Iowa. She was 37 inches tall and weighed 60 pounds. Miss Howes was a remarkably beautiful and attractive woman in minature. She was school teacher and a musician of ability. * TO INCREASE SUPPLY OF PORK Agricultural Pep't. Looking Aftei Boys' Pig Club. Washington, Oct. 2C>.?The depart ment of agriculture has its Boys Corn Club and its Girls' Canning Club and now conies the Boys' Pis Club, being organized in the Soail tor the purpose of increasing the sup Ply of pork and encouraging gooc breeding of hogs. Already clubs hav< been organized in Alabama ana Louis iana, and a club organization ha: been started in Georgia. It is tin purpose of the officials of the depart ment to organize clubs in ever: Southern State. The idea of the organization start ed with the farmers' co-operativ< demonstration branch of the depart ment and has been carried on witl the co-operation of the animal hus bandry division of the bureau of ani mal industry. The organization i: an off-shoot of the Eoys' Corn Club which has an organization in ever: Southern State and which has beer the means of producing record-break ing yields of corn. The Pig Clul when thoroughly organized will, it is expected, work hand in hand witl the Corn Club. The boys of the latter will produce the corn and thf boys of the newly organized association will see to it that the pigs an produced to eat the corn. In connection with the organiza tion of the Pig Club the departmenl makes the following statement: "In organizing the Boys' Pig Clut it is the purpose of the departmenl to establish clubs in every Southern State. The animal husbandr: division is co-operating with tlit farmers' co-operation demonstrate oilice in the bureau of plant industr\ and has already established clubs in Alabama and Louisiana, and the movement is under way in Georgia, The organization is being done by the officials of the farmers' co-operative demonstration force, and the animal husbandry agents are instructing and demonstrating how to handle the stock and to breed a superior type oi Pigs. "It is the purpose of the department to have every member of the club encourage not only an increased production of the swine family, but a better breed of pigs than is being raised at present. It is a serious purpose the officials of the department are engaged in?one that is aimed at the high cost of living. "The production of pork is not keeping pace with the increased population and something must be done to harmonize these two elements, If each member of the club?and they will be growing it is expected all the time? will see to it that one more pig and a better pig is produced each year, then a long step will have been taken in meeting the ever growing chasm between pork production and increased population." Not Headed That Way. A good many years ago a steamer was sailing down the river, with a shrewd old Yankee captain in command. Suddenly the engines stopped, and there was nothing doing for several minutes! The passengers began to talk it over among themselves, and one of them, a portly, persistent sort of person, advanced pompously to the captain. "What seems to be the trouble, cap?" he inquired. "Why have we stopped?" "Too much fog," answered the skipper curtly. "We can't see up the river." "But I can see the stars overhead quite plainly," argued the persistent party. ".Mebbe ye can," admitted the captain grimly, "but unless the bilers bust we ain't goin' that way."?National Monthly. Deputy's Pistol Discharged. Anderson. Oct. 23.?As Deputy Sheriff Sanders was escorting Judge Hayne F. Rice, of Aiken, presiding over court here, through the court house to a hotel for dinner recess today, a friend struck the officer with a stick, causing the officer's pistol to be discharged. The bullet struck the seat of Sanders' trousers, struck the tiled floor, glanced and buried itself in a window jam. The incident caused some excitement as the corridor of the court house was crowded at the time. While Deputy Sanders was remonstrating with the man who dealt the blow Judge Rice remarked characteristically that the man "had acted very foolishly." The bullet harmed no one. The blow causing the discharge of the pistol was dealt in a friendly way and the man dealing the blow was as much surprised as anybody when the pistol fired. The Correct Answer.
