A QUEEF. CREATURE.
Stegosaurus One of the M<4t Peculiar
Ever Known.
With the strange armor plate
standing up along its spine and a
head and brain relatively more diminutive
than those of any other known
land vertebrate, the stegosaurus,
> preserved in Jurassic strata of Colorado
and Wyoming, was one of the
most unique of the gigantic dinosaurs
P. W OilmnrpJ

of the United States national museum,
who has been studying the remains
of this monster, states that its
. "weight when living has been estimated
at between seven and ten tons,
* its length at about 20 feet and its
height to the top of the highest dor^
salplate at about 12 feet. The small
and feeble teeth indicate that its diet
was very succulent plants?probably
in low, swampy regions. It had the
dinosaur characteristic of massive
-hind legs with small fore legs, but its
ancestors are believed to have been
bipeds. Growing weight of body and
armor made it slow moving with apparently
just enough brain to direct
the mechanical functions of life. The
armor of neck, back and tail was
formed by two rows of erect plates,
the plates of one row alternating with
; >* those of the other. * The animal ]
seems to haver typified a kind of pre- ,
paredness for passive defense, with ,
bulk and armor as protection, but so ,
inert and sluggish that even its powerful
tail, with only unwieldy, side J
movement, was no weapon against an
ftntivA foe. 1
Ten Thousand a Week.
i . < ' ?
Charlie Chaplin, it is announced, '
V lias ^"signed a contract with a film '
company to act for the movies at,a '
salary of something over ha'f a mil- '
lion dollars a year?$520,000, to 'oe
exact?in addition to which he has J
received a bonus of $150,00.0 in reI
turn for making the agreement. The ^
I I moving picture people who have capI
I tared. him feel that they are very, 1
very lucky and they are celebrating 1
T their victory joyously. For weeks ]
Charlie has been in New York auc- !
tioning himself off to the rival bid- ]
^ ders who were after him and his stay
there has been constant round of
royal entertainments. It will be 1
hard, doubtless, for him to come back 1
to the simple life after the wining 1
and dining to which he has been sub- ;
jected. His vast audience is calling
. him, however, and there are signs of
impatience which he will hardly be '
- ( able to ignore. The people will do (
V without Shakespeare and never mur- .
mur, but unless-there is a fresh '
Chaplin caper at least once a week ^
dangerous discontents are bound to
burst forth.
How rapidly do.we progress in! (
some directions! Only a few years ago j ,
* we plumed ourselves on the money we1 j
. spent on baseball players. Why some j
of them, /we bragged, sold for as much ,
as twenty-five or thirty thousand
dollars, and their salaries were as 1
high as ten thousand dollars a year! (
Only the other day there were boastC
ings of the fifty and sixty thousand .
dollars a yeai* paid to the great artL
ists who draw the daily comics for
L ' the papers. How pitifully small such ,
L yages now seem. It is really a
k ' shame that these geniuses should receive
such slight encouragement.
i Chaplih has not been so ill advised
as they. He knows his worth and
while half a million a year for the
^ %
foremost slapstick comedian of his
time may be short of the mark, it is
at least respectable.
: f ' The news of what Charlie has ac- 1
complished will be blazoned through- ;
. out the land, and the people will re- <
>joice. Of dourse if any lawyer or .
:' doctor or preacher or butcher or 1
grocer should devise a scheme for ;
"cleaning up" such a "pile" in a ,
year's time he would at once be
denounced as a dangerous citizen; ,
hut with Chaplin the case is differ- j
ent. Those who believe the story of j
Charlie's new contract will maintain .
at all hazards that he is worth what- ;
ever he gets. Doesn't he .make1 the
people laugh? The rest will at least
get a laugh out of the story. They ,
think they know "press agent" stuff
when they see it.?News and Courier.
Fire Proof Shingles.
Wopden shingles that resist the
spread of fire, instead of aiding it,
r have been produced experimentally
by chemical treatment at the Wisconsin
forest products laboratory. The
air-dried shingles are treated with a
solution of borax in water, kiln-dried
until the moisture is reduced to 10
per cent., then treated with a zinc
chloride solution, and after again
drying are found to be so impregnated
with an insoluble sodium borate
that soaking two weeks in running
water does not destroy the fire
proof quality imparted. Though the
treated wood may be made to burn
slowly, it does not burn with flame,
the cell walls being coated with the
infusible salt. The solutions must
he applied under heavy pressure, and
the process is expensive unless large
quantities of shingles can be treated.

A LETTER TO MR. W .
Which Shows That Human Nature
Changes Little in a Century.
Open letters in verse or prose to
the president of the United States
are the fashion. Here is a model one
in prose "To Mr. W?
"As censure is but awkwardly
softened by apology, I- shall offer you
no apology for this letter. The
eventful crisis to which your double
policies have conducted the affairs of
your qountry requires an investigation
uiicramped by ceremony. There
was a time when the fame of America,
moral and political, stood high
in the world, and to be an American
citizen gave a title to respect in Europe.
The W? of politics had noi
then appeared. Elevated to the
chair of the presidency, you assumed
the merit of everything to yourself,
and the natural ingratitude of your
character began to appear. From
such a beginning what else could be
expected than what has happened??
a mean and servile submission to the
insults of one nation; treachery and
ingratitude to another.
Traitor to His Friends.
"It has for some time been knowD
by those who know him that Mr. W?
has no friendships; that he is incapable
of forming any; he can serve or
desert a man, or a cause, with constitutional
indifference; and it is the
cold hermaphrodite faculty that imposed
itself upon the world, and was
credited for a while for prudence,
moderation and impartiality. Being
now once more abroad, I began to
Qnd that I was not the only one who
had conceived an unfavorable opinion
of Mr. W?; it was evident that his
character was on the decline as well
among Americans as among foreigners
of different nations.
"Among other things which I confess
I do not understand is the proclamation
of neutrality. When the
profession of neutrality on the part
of America was answered by hostilities
on the part of Britain, the object
and intention of that neutrality existed
no longer; and to maintain it
after this was not only to encourage
further insults and depredation, but
was an informal breach of neutrality.
That the government of England
considered the American government
as pusillanimous is evident from increasing
insolence of conduct.
Prudence Before Principle.
'The character which Mr. W? has
attempted to act in the world is q,
sort of nondescribable chameleoncolored
thing called prudence. It is,
in many cases, a substitute for principle,
and is no nearly' allied by hypocrisy
that it easily slides into it.
His genius for prudence furnished
him in this instance with an expedient
that served, as is the natural
- , ?
and general^nature of expedients, to
diminish the embarrassments of the
moment and multiply them afterward.
? >
"A man versed in the quibbles of
the law may find a way to cheat some
Dther party without that party being
able to take the law of him. But
when this is attempted on the national
scale it is too despicable to be defended.
The injury which Mr. W?'s
administration has done to the char
acter as well as to the commerce of
America is too great to be repaired
by him. In what a fraudulent light
must Mr. W?'s ^character appear to
the world when his declarations and
!
his conduct are compared together.
Apostate or Imposter?
"It is laughable to hear Mr. W?
talk of his sympathetic feelings, who
has always been remarked, even
among his friends, for not having
any. It is the ingratitude as well as
the pusillanimity of Mr. W? that
has brought upon America the loss
of character she now suffers in the
world, and the numerous evils her
commerce has undergone and to
which it is yet exposed. The British
ministry soon found out what
sort of men they had to deal with,
and they dealt with them accordingItr
TViin in 4-Vift frrmin ri nnnn urliinVi
1J X IllO id Lll^ 5IU U11U upuil VYUiVU
America now stands. All her rights
of commerce are to begin anew, and
that with loss of character to begin
with. And as to you, sir, the world
will be puzzled to decide whether you
are an apostate or imposter; whether
you have abandoned good principles,
or whether you never had any."
That is the way to talk to the president
of the -United States. Owen
Wister may blush to see how little
the art of invective has advanced
since the Anglophobe Thomas Paine
wrote these words and more like
them to President George Washington.
Sad to Hear.
"I heard something very sad this
morning," said a mistress to her servant,
in explanation of her not feeling
well, as the girl commented upon
Vicip miotrace'c onnooronno I
iivi LUioii o appwai au^^?
"Well," said the girl, "I can feel
for you, ma'am. I heard something
sad this morning, too."
"You did?" asked the mistress.
"Pray, tell me what was it?"
"The alarm clock, ma'am."
EFFECTS OF TOBACCO.
Experiments Made to Determine Results
of Smoking.
Tobacco smoking and coffee drinking
have rapidly become marked
characteristics of the American people,
but whether these habits are
proving seriously injurious is still a
matter of disagreement* ui lODacco,
the production in the (united States
exceeds $416,000,000 a^year in value,
while the home consumption is more
than 578,000,000 pounds. In an extensive
investigation Dr. John Aikman
has made some interesting experiments
on 27 young men, aged 16
to 31, each of whom was given one
cigarette to smoke under quiet conditions,
and on each of whom the effects,
carefully observed, were found
to be quite marked. The pulse rate,
especially, was notably stimulated.
In 16 out of^the 27 the increase was
over eight beats a minute, and the
average increase among these was 14
a minute. The influence on the blood
pressure was more irregular, some of
the smokers showing a fall, some a
rise and some no change. From
these experiments and many varying
opinions, it is concluded that little is
known of the real effects of tobacco
smoking, but Dr. Aikman is inclined
to believe that the enornious increase
in the use of tobacco has had something
to do with the great increase of
diseases of the circulation in the last
few years.

VOX U Ui t&JU
The baby usually cuts his first
tooth when he is 6 to 8 months old,
and by the end of the first year, has
ordinarily, 6 teeth. He should have
12 teeth at 18 months of age; 16
when he is two years old, and before
the end of the third year the entire
set of 20 "milk" teeth.
>
The process of teething 'in a
healthy baby cannot properly be held
responsible for the illness commonly
attributed to it. The first half-dozen
teeth rarely give the baby any
pain, but as the double teeth appear
there is occassionally at the. same
time a little disturbance, such as loss
of appetite, and possibly evidence of
slight indigestion, which may last for
a few days. But if the disturbance
is more serious than this, some other
reason for it should be sought.
Teething takes place through the
weaning period and during the second
year, when mistakes in feeding
are so often made which upset the
baby s digestion, even if they do not
make him seriously ill. On this account
it is often unjustly blamed for
making the baby sick, when the real
reason lies in the fact that he was
overfed or improperly fed, or perhaps
that the weather was veTy hot.
It must be remembered that excessive
heat aggravates any ill the
baby may have, and is quite sufficient
in itself to make the baby sick. It is
necessary in summer, therefore, both
on account of the heat and because of
the disturbances connected with weaning
and teething, to take great care
of the baby in 4*1 respects, and especially
to feed him with great caution.
Directions for feeding the baby
are given in a pamphlet called
"Infant Care" which will be sent
free to anyone who asks for it, applying
to the Chief of the Children's
Bureau, U. S. department of labor,
Washington, D. C.
The baby may not -gain in weight
during the cutting of his various
double teeth, but it is not a serious
i A A _ I. it. . * _1_ A f ?
mauer 10 nave me weigm remain
stationary for a short time. The baby
will quickly regain the lost ground
when he is well again, and eating his
full rations.
The mother should never allow
anyone to persuade her to give the
baby patent medicines, sticli as soothing
syrups to relieve the pain ol
teething. If they do relieve it they
probably contain opium in some
form, which is much worse for the
baby than the suffering. It is a safe
rule never to give medicine of any
sort to a baby, save that which is ordered
by a doctor.
From the time when the double
teeth make their appearance throughout
life the teeth should have daily
care. For the baby a very soft brush
is necessary and the utmost care
should be taken not to injure in any
way the delicate tissues of the mouth
when brushing the tiny teeth. After
the baby has several teeth, the mother
should see to it that no particles
of solid food are left between them
after the baby has eaten. If the first
set of teeth is well taken care of, the
second set will be healthier, and in
addition the child will have been
taught a good habit that will last all
his life.
There is considerable variation in
the time that the teeth first appear,
but if the baby has no teeth by the
time he is one year old, he should
have medical attention to see if any
disease is causing this unusual delay
in the development of the teeth, or
wnetner it is aue to improper aiet.
One way to live without work is to
work somebody else.
Money may get tight occasionally
but it never stutters.
SO DECEPTIVE
Many Bamberg People Fall to Realize
the Seriousness.
Backache is so deceptive.
It comes and goes?keeps you guess*
log.
Learn the cause?then cure it.
Possibly it's weak kidneys.
That's why Doan's Kidney Pills are
so effective.
They're especially for weak or disordered
kidneys.
Here s a Bamberg case.
Mrs. S. M. Kinard, Broad St., Bamberg,
says: "Last spring I suffered
from a severe attack of backache ana
it caused me much annoyance and
pain. Any bend or sudden movement
sent a sharp pain through my kidneys
* had headaches and I often felt as 11
I was falling. The kidney secretions
were unnatural. Others of the family
bad found Doan's Kidney Pills very
beneficial and 1 began taking them.
One box brought the very best of relief,
removing all. symptoms of the
trouble in a short time."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
limply ask for a kidney remedy?get
Doan's Kidney Pills?the same that
