OBSERV ER, 1710 Sixth btreet. !ntl,. mMhnlia ;,.
. 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-

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.

.His Btsge Business Was Ussd by Both
. Fschter and Mounet-Sully.
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

was struggling with Marcellus and Ho
ratio "Unhand me, gentlemen, or, by
heaven, I'll make a ghost of him that

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,

Eskimo and Siberian Dogs Are Fast,
but the Greyhound Excels.
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

The Merit of
Front Laced Corsets
Our sales in front laced corsets have wonderfully increases
and in order that we may meet satisfactorily this larger demand '
we have placed in stock an extensive assortment of Henderson
Front Laced Corsets, designed for the slight, the average and
the stout figures.
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

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
