I A couule of husky fighting men, iquick of wit and handy of fist, may ido sentry duty on every streetcar in 'Cleveland during rush loours, Presi dent Stanley, of the Cleveland Rail way company, declared the -other day. "We broke up rowdyism on Euclid Beach cars by those methods eight years ago," he said, "and failure of our present ei'usade, in which conduc tors and motormen are instructed to co-operate with police in stamping out pickpockets, will mean a return to sterner means." I The-wholesale raid on car riders, 37 of whom were robbed of close to $2000 during the first 13 days in June, brought an order from George L. Rad eliffe, general manager of the street car company, to all conductors and mo- '.tormen to close car doors and guard against the departure of a single pas senger the moment anybody raises the 'alarm, of a theft. Thus every ear where a theft is discovered will in stantly become a prison cell on wheels until the polico can be summoned. ! Chief of Detectives Rabashaw dc- 'clared that in his four months in of fice 120 persons had been arrested as known thieves in an effort to rid the "city of "tourist" criminals. He de clared a revision of laws would be ( necessary before the police could hope to cope properly with the situ- CAN THE SLATE COME BACK? ation. It is possible suspected pick- Dockets, when arrested will be lined up at every precinct police station for every patrolman in the city to scrutinize. BOOTH AS HAMLET. WORK AND SELF-DENIAL. From the Ohio State Journal: "In our old fifth reader, McGufTcy's, the best ever printed, there was an ar ticle on the subject of 'No Excellence Without Great Labor.' That is great enough truth to be put in blazoned letters over every schoolroom doer. There is no real success in this world outside of work and self-denial. The whole Christian religion is based on sacrifice. That is the lesson of Cal vary, Whatever a man gets for noth ing will do him no good. The path of pleasure does not lead to high achievement. When we see an effort to serve a noble end by a base means we know there is n failure ahead. You have got to do something to win; you have got to deny yourself; you have got to sacrifice. Frivolity and bubbles never earn a thing that will pass current in God's market. The world is far from learning this, and that is the reason it is moving along so slow morally." . There are men of place and power to whom mention of the fact that the paper shortage has revived the use of the slate by British children will bring back instant momories of the Little Red School House. . .In the Unitad States, as in England, there must be schools where the slate has never yielded. In the telephone tapping cases the police are said to have taken down upon slates the con versations to which they "listened in" a preference that speaks of class room habit. But not for our cities is such conservatism. "In deference to medical opinion," says the Manchester Guardian, school slates in England are now "cleaned by antiseptic mothiods;" What meth coat In ruder days one spat upon the slate and polished it with an ac customed sleeve; some of the big girls may havo kept a sponge for the purpose. So when sanitation was invented the slate was taboo along with the water-pail and its one tincup for all to drink from. Something besides economy might speak for the slate. It does not glaro. It is easier to read from than the scraps of tin from John D.'s oil cases that Moslem boys use in mosque schools. The squeaky pencil that of old insured its owner a punishment would cause no remark now that pun ishlment for real offenses is no mora permitted. Dug from inexhaustible stores, the slate in school would help save the vanishing forest; why have not con-, I VETERANS GET WAR FEVER. Men Who Fought in Spanish-American Clash Ready to Enlist Tacoma, Wash., June 26. (Special) Veterans of the Spanish-American War wish to serve their country in the Mexican fuss. At a picnic and barbecue given by the John B. Thompson Camp todwy, a majority of the veterans present ex pressed a desire to enlist again if needed. A roll was called of the former soldiers willing to step into th-j rnnks again and not one who was phpsicnlly fit faltered. .Several thousand persons attended tha barbecue and when the response was so general to fight for the (lag they cheered lustily for their soldier hosts.

Xlke all men before the public, Ed win Booth was frequently the victim of malicious detraction. He was ac cused of Imitating other actors, at first bis father, then the tragedian Fecbter and others. , ' Fecbter was at that time very popu lar In England and In this country. lie once called on the younger actor and aid with brutal frankness, "I bear them say you Imitate my business, and I am going to watch you like a hawk." It luust have been rather trying to play to this rival glaring conspicuously from a stage-.box, but at tbe conclu sion of .the performance Fecbter came back to km- that tbe charge was quite unfounded i- . i Shortly after this experience Booth took a night oil and went to see Fecb ter, and be was astonished to see tbe .German actor following tbe gbost In "Hamlet" wltlt tbe baudlo of bis sword uplifted as a cross. Booth remarked dryly that Feehter had evidently, ap proved that part of bis business and bad adopted It Shortly after this tbe critic of a New York puper made tbe Interesting discovery that Booth bad purloined tbls bit ot business from tbe forelgu actor. Booth, suiiled at tbe MLtwagimt praise bestowed upon Mounet-3uJ)y for bis wonderful business In "Hamlet" In swearing by tbe shadow of tbe cross made on. tbe stage, bp. hjy aword. Booth's comment was that be bad done tbat years before Mounet-Sully ever played the part of Hamlet Both pieces of business were tbe results of acci dents. On one occasion bis sword stuck into tbe stage so that he could not pull It out, aud be noticed tbe shadow cast by It and realized Its significance as be pointed to It On another night, as he was struggling with Marcellus and Ho ratio "Unhand me, gentlemen, or, by heaven, I'll make a ghost of him that lets mo" be lost bis hold on the sword; It flew up Into the air, and as be caught It be noticed that tbe lillt made tbe sign of tbe cross; he caught tbe elo quence of Its meaning, and it became a permanent part of bis performance, Edwlu Milton Royle In Harper's Magazine.

Few people realize of what remark able speed dogs are capable. Some sta tistics In regard to tbls bave been gath ered by M. Dusoller, a French scientist. After pointing out tbe marvelous en durance shown by little fox terriers who followed their masters patiently for hours while tbey were riding on bi cycles or in carriages be says that even greater cuduranco Is shown by certain wild animals that are akin to dogs. Thus tbo wolf can run between fifty uud sixty miles In one night, and an arctic fox can do quite as well, if not better. Eskimo and Siberian dogs oau travel forty-five miles on the lee In five hours. and there is a case on record la which a team of Eskimo dogs traveled six ! and one-half miles In twenty-eight mln. utes. According to M. Dusoller, the speed of the shepherd dogs and those used on hunting ranges Is from ten to fifteen yards a second. English setters and pointers run at the rate of eighteen to nineteen miles an hour, and they cuu uiiuiiiiiiii inis speed tor at least two hours. Fox hounds are extraordinarily swirl, os is proved by tbe fact that a dog of this breed once beat n thorough, bred horse, covering four miles in six and n half minutes, which was at the rate of nearly eighteen yards a secoud. Greyhounds are the swiftest of all four footed creatures, and their speed la equal to that of carrier pigeons. English greyhounds, which nie used for coursing, are able to cover at full gallop n space between eighteen und twenty yards every second. -Our Dumb Animals. . . " Held Bible and Rudder.

These corsets have the deserved reputatiton of being un surpassed for style, fit, beauty and service. . Henderson Front Laced Corsets have a ventilated back sec tion, made of a soft mesh material which prevents all pressure of heavy boning or bulky seams on the spine, so objectionable in some front laced models. The ventilated tongue under the front lacing prevents pro truding of flesh or clothing and the elastic sections inserted in the corset skirt "give and take" with every body position. The better models have a flexible top clasp which relieves pressure on the bust. Better or more satisfactoT corsets are not made for the prices. We urge that you inspect these new Front-Laced Models $2.50 to $3.50 jj s! Drunkenness Decreases. Vancouver, Wash., July 4. The report of the city police justice shows that eight men were tried during the past month for drunkenness. The average arrests per month for drunkenness in 1914 was 48. THE BEST PROOF. La Grande Citizens Cannot Doubt It Doan's Kidney Pills were used They brought benefit. The story was told to La Grande residents. Time has strengthened the evidence. Has proven the result lasting. The testimony is from this locality. The proof convincing: L. Greenawald, proprietor shoe re pair shop, 414 Lincoln St., Pendleton, Ore., says: "Backache and soreness across my kidneys troubled me day and night. The kidney secretions pained in passage and the flow was too frequent and scanty. One box oi Doan's Kidney Pills completely cureo. me." (Statement given May 17, 1910.) A Lasting Cure. Over two years later, Mr. Greena wald, said: "Doan's Kidney Pills cured me and the trouble has never come back." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Greenawald has twice publicly recommended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.
