l4 Millions For Military Automobiles Included among the Germcn army es timates for the present year is one for several millions for extensive trials and experiments with automobiles for" rnili tary purposes. Iti this, however, the German government differs from tbe per son who suffers from stomach, liver or kidney complaints. He cannot afford to waste any money experimenting with this or that remedy. tor this reason most every sufferer takes Ilostetter's Stomach BitterB at tbe very start, for he knows that if any medicine will oure him quickly tbe Bitters will. If you are among tbe few persons who have never tried it, do so today. You'll be thankful for tbe advice. It will cure belching, flatulency, indigestion, dyspepsia, oonsti palion, general debility, Bering fever end la orinoe. Our Private Stamp is over n m w the neok of the bottle.

YOUNG tLiiuOJ--TiiACHiR. la Only Thirteen Venm Old and Hs .Mirrupeil Pupil Who Wna Twice llta Wulwht. The youngest pedagogue in Missouri, and perhaps in the United States, is roiichintr a country school near Gaines ville, in the Ozurii mountains. He is Glenn Harrison, aged 13 years, says the Kansas City Journal. Glenn is the old est son of Guy T. Harrison, a lawyer. He completed the course of study of the Gainesville public schools in March, 1902. The same month he took the ex amination given candidates for third grade teachers' certificates in Ozark county, making a good average and se curing a certificate. He continued to study, and just after he became 13 years old he took the examination for a sec ond grade certificate. This time his av erage grade was the highest made, being 9(3 per cent. Mr. Harrison believed his promising son was too young to teach, and refused to let him accept several offers. But one day when his father was absent attending court, Glenn took the job of teacher of a rural district, the di rectors of which came and offered him the place. He began work before his father returned, and the latter, finding him so ambitious, decided notAo inter fere. Glenn now has 29 pupils. The ma jority are larger and older than he, bat he maintains a degree of discipline which many older and more experienced teacli ers may well envy. "How are you get ting along, Glenn?" asked his mother one day, when he came home at the end of a week's work. "I had to whip sev eral of the boys," the youngster replied. It turned out that among others he had larruped an obstreperous youth that weighed 180 pounds. Glenn doesn't weigh much more than half that THE CAB3 OF PARIS. Plftn Thousand of Then Ply Srta Dar and Night A Col. lege (or Coaohmwn. tba By day and night 15,000 cabs ply in the streets of Paris. A few hundred of them, blue, drawn by young, mercurial horses, driven by liveried coachman, bearing neither numbers nor placques. male snobbish pretense to being private car riages. Of the others the greater part be long to the three great companies the Compagnie Generale, with. its blue-bellied cab.-; the Urbaine, with cabs deco rated with yellow lozenges; the Abeille, with its cabs stained a dull green. In ad dition, writes Vance Thompson in Out ing, there are scores of small stables, where three or four cabs are sent out. Many cabmen, too, own their own rigs. On the whole, however, the "Three Com panies" are masters of the trade. Is it a trade? Upon my word, I think it is a profession and one of the ancient and honorable. The casual rogue has no chance of making himself free of the guild. He must, In the first place, be a "college graduate," duly provided with a diploma. The most notable coachman's college Is in the Rue Marcadet, yoider on the flank of Mont martre. Officially the college is known as the "Ecole d'apprentiBsage de cochera de fiacre de la Tille de Paris." The director is Pernette, a capable, horsey man, a fa mous whip. A half dozen profetsors aid him vU, hostlws, groom. . AGED QUEEN IS LW EXILE. Widowsd Kltraa of HnoTr Liv ing on Her Auatrlam Kmintv Kt mblea th Late Ttotoriau When Queen Victoria came to the throne in 1837 the Salic law, which pre vails in German principalities, made it impossible that she should be sovereign of Hanover as well as ruler of England, as her Guelph predecessors had been. The throne of Hanovtr, therefore, fell to her next of kin in the male line, the duke of Cumberland, who was succeeded by his son, the queen's cousin. That king of Hanover was the last. In the war between Prussia and Austria in 1860, which was prn.ioally a war for precedence in the OVman speaiJng lands, the king of Hanover took the wrong side; that la to say, he took the side of Austria, and Prnnsia was victo rious. The result was thnt he found himself crownles and an exile and Han over became part of the north German confederation. The exiled king died in 187S. but his quen still lives; she is 85 years of age. A portrait of her was taken rencently on her Austrian estate at Gmunden. It is interesting to observe the striking likeness of the lower part of the face of th eleetres to Queen Vic toria, llnhlt Heonnie Second Mature. The old schoolmaster was deeply af fected. His scholars, noticing the di lapidated appearance of his chair, had presented him with a new one. "My d-ar boys," said the kindly old peda gogue, with tears in his- tyfj, "I can never hope to tell you how you have made me feel by this token of your love for me. All I can do is to thank you for the sacrifices you have made of your little purses for the sake of my comfort. If you have found me severe at times. I trust you realize that it has always been for your own good." As the old schoolmaster prepared to sit down in his new chair he unconscious ly ran his hand over the seat in search of bent pins. X. V. Times. FREE biuuio i?OK bINNERS. Tobacco VmeA In I'riaona Doea Kot Pay a Government Kevenuc Tax. A Itecent Iluling. Convicts serving terms in the various prisons of the country have one privilege people outside the walls do not enjoy. The commissioner of internal revenue lias decided that it Is permissible for Plate prisons to manufacture tobacco or igars for its own inmates without pay ing license. The conn-'iseioner says: "I would say that upon careful consid eration of the one?! ion involved, it is held that a charitable or other institu tion conducted by the state and under state authority, with its own operatives, has the right to manufacture tobacco, cigars, or any other tobacco product vithout the payment of tax when all such manufactured tobacco is used ex clusively within the state institution. "The tobacco must, nowever, be manu factured within the limits of the state Institution, and no portion of It be re moved therefrom. If any portion of such manufactured tobacco is found out side of the limits of the institution, it will be liable to seizure and forfeiture, the same as any other unstamped manu factured tobacco which might be found upon the market." FATE OF THE MINTING DIES. All Sent to Philadelphia at Cloae of Tear and Latro ed in Presence of Official. "All the United States mints forward to the mint at Philadelphia at the close of each year," said a former treasury of ficial, according to the New York Sun, "the steel dies used in coining the vari ous denominations of gold and silver coins for that year, and bearing its date, and the Philadelphia mint distrib utes to the branch mints at the same time the new dies for the coming year. All coinage dies are made at the Phil adelphia mint, but are returned there a: the end of the year to be destroyed. "The dies are round pieces of steel, three inches long, and sloping to the top on which is cut the face of the coin it stamps, with the date. The dies are col lected, and taken to the blacksmith shop of the mint, where, in the pres ence of the superintendent, the coiner and the assayer, they are heated red hot in the forges and hammered out of shape with sledge hammers on anvils, and after having given currency value to millions of money, are cast aside as worthless, except as scrap." WOMEN HAVE IDEAS. Many of Them Now Engaged in Ad vertising Business. Have Natural Aptitude for DealxnlaK and DlaplajlnK Attractive and Catchy Picture aud Wordi. A red poster advertising kitchenware which is seen about the country a good deal is the work of a woman who came here two or three years ago practically an immigrant. She was the daughter of an English officer, and his death in the Jioer war left her almost w ithout means. iier career in America throws a sidelight on the possibilities for a bright and am bitious young woman in New York, says the Sun. She came here an entire stranger, went to the Young Women's Christian association and there secured employ ment as secretary of an old ladies' home. .From iht ;e si.e went to be governess for a li-tle . ..i, tnd after that went into a publishing house, in which she had ciianre of sending out the firm's adver tising literature and helped make up the little literary magazine published by the house. he showed a natural bent for this sort of thing, and with thiB slight prep aration, on her employer's recommenda tion, she was accepted as advertising manager of the kitchenware factory. There she quickly proved her ability to make useful her opportunities. Last winter a law was passed requir ing' barbers to put in water heaters in stead of alcohol stoves. She had three days in which to prepare and mail 5,000 letters to the barbers in New York. Again the head of a department in formed her that he was about to change the design of the sink manufactured by the firm, and she must devise some scheme to get rid of 1,000 sinks of the old pattern in the Btockroom. Three nmiiiLs later there were only a dozen left of the 1,000. And last and greatest of all. she has been so fortunate as to aclib that ambition of the advertiser, the originator of a catch phrase, the one which adorns her scarlet posters. Her duties illustrate the things that women are doing in the advertising world 'o-day. Their invasion has been swift. ;tnd for the same reason that a de mand for women has risen in all sorts of lines because of the home women. Advertisers calculate that 80 per cent, of everything that goes into the home is purchased by women. Hence, the woman advertisement w riter. Women are the authors of all sorts of catch phrases seen wherever there are adve nisements. Down amid the hurly burly of Nassau street is the office of a youn woman who is the advertising representative of three magazines. She prejared for !er post by three years' v. -; lit; - "" " -' "! vr-t;cing ofii.rt One of the most notable changes of re cent years in the advertising world has been the transformation of the old, stick-like figures, in clothing and fash ion advertisements, into graceful forms A young woman who studied art at Cooper Institute has had a hand in this transformation. She went to Chicago and became connected with an engrav ing house. Then she went into a big millinery concern as its advertising agent. One of her ideas was a period ical, the organ of the house, which she edited and made the designs for. So successful were her ideas that in a year she found herself back in New York with a larger field opening before her, as the designer for a great adver tising agency. She draws women, swell, stunning women, on horseback, in street dress, in carriage and reception gowns. They wear their clothes well, and make every woman who sees them desire to go and do likewise. Another woman artist became so suc cessful in her advertising designs that one of the largest agencies in the coun try was organized to exploit her ideas, and she was made vice president. For several years her work has been seen throughout the country. Her designs combine artistic ideas and suitability to the subject in a pe culiarly felicitous way. For an an nual sale of baby wear she will draw a group of infants so delicious that they would indicate to any right-minded mother that this firm has a proper ap preciation of babies. Few jump into an advertising man agership with such a flying leap as did the young English woman first referred to. Most have attained it through a solid apprenticeship, either in art, busi ness or newspaper experience. One of the women recognized as most prolific of new ideas among the advertisers of New York began her career as a stenog rapher at three dollars a week. Name of Finn on FIowfi-h. Flowers are not always named by chance. Take the Dahlia, that was named after Dahl, a Swedish florist, and discovered of the liower. The mag nolia after Neagnol, a celebrated French botanist. But there is only one in stance reported of a man and flower receiving a name at the same time. Marechal Niel, on his return from the Franco-Austrian war, received a basket of beautiful yellow roses from a peas ant woman. One of the stems hail a reot clinging to it, and this the mare chal took to a florist in Paris, under whose care it became a thriving bush laden with blossoms. This Niel took as a gift to the Empress Eugenie, who, on hearing that it was nameless, said: "It shall be the Marechal Niel." At the same time she bestowed upon the as temished general the jeweled baton in dicating his high rank of marechal of France. The Term "IllnnUet." Blanket bears the name of Thomas Blanket, a famous English clothier who a.ded the introduction of woolens into England in the fourteenth century. KEEP BOYS ON THE FARM. durational Department Glva Good Advice to Rural Father Ad vice to the Teachers. The superintendent of public Instruc tion of the Btate of Indiana has recently issued a bulletin touching on the steady migration of the. young men of the rural districts to the cities in search of a so called "better chance." Believing that Indiana is being sapied of its energies by that movement, the department in a bulletin to the teachers bays that they can influence the boy to stay on the farm and to work out its problems. "It wiil be a sad day for our national life when all our young farmers come to town; when the small, well-cultivated homesteads give way to landed estates," the bulletin says. The necessity of keeping the boys on the farm was the subject of a discussion as to what the teacher can do for the community. A teacher's power in deter mining the industry of a community lias In making her schoolrt)om a busy work shop, where the rights of others and the nobility of honest toil are taught. The bulletin which is being sent out by the state superintendent deals with the relation of the teacher to the school,1 her patrons and the locality. The teach er, the bulletin says, ought to be a mis sionary, harmonizing turbulent ele ments. Doomlno Hooka. Some time ago a rumor went round that astute publishers had In their pay a large number of the most attractive diners-out. Your neighbor at table would lead the conversation to the latest novel quite the easiest of conver sational openings between strangers, who lay their heads together over the menu and have to entertain each other for an hour You are interested in the description of the book of the hour, you are a little ashamed of not having read It, and going home you sit down and or der the book from the circulating li brary. Every publisher, every theater manager, every deviser of a patent med icine knows that the advice of a friend is a more concentrated and personal pull than the opinion of a critic from the empyrean.
