Logical.
Little Robbie had ben refused a
Becond dish of ice cream. His grand-
ma had told him that it would cause
him a pain in the stomach.
While out walking with his uncle
one afternoon they chanced to see a
horse that had been taken sick. Rob-
bie was informed by his uncle that the
horse had a pain in the stomach.
Gazing at the helpless animal, the
boy asked: "Uncle, did the horse have
two plates of ice cream?”
THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR
To allay itching and irritation of the
acalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan-
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment Is most effective, agree-
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cutlcura Oint-
ment Into the parting with a bit of
soft flannel held over the end of the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura Oint-
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. It Is well to place a light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women’s hair.
Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold
throughout the world. Sample of each
free, with 32-p. Skin Book. Address
post-card “Cuticura, Dept "L, Boston."

In the Barber's Chair.
“No sooner was I seated In the

commented on the weather, and di-
rected a current of discourse into my
ears.

an inward chuckle, thinking his volu-
bility would be checked.
"In very good French he started in
afresh. I looked at him as if bewil-
dered, and then interrupted him by
asking:
'“ Was Sagen Sie?’
"He began to repeat in German all
that be had been saying, when 1 shut
kim off with:
‘“Oh, talk to me with (your fingers.

Blocks Receivership for Big Concern—
Complying With Supreme Court's
Order, Move Will Be Put
Up to the Court.
Washington, June 30- President Wil-
son tonight approved the plan drawn
by Attorney General Me Reynolds and
the railroad attorneys for the dissolu-
tion of the Union Pacific merger under
the Sherman anti-trust law, as di-
rected by the supreme court of the
United States so as to avoid a receiver-
ship for the great combination.
G. Carroll Todd, special assistant to
the attorney general, left tonight for
St. Paul to represent the government
and to announce its approval of the
proposal when it is presented to the
United States court there^ Monday. He
was accompanied by H. W. Clark, of
counsel for the railroad, who will sub-
mit the plan to the court.
The government will qualify Its ap-
proval of the plan, it is said, by ask-
ing the court to grant a reasonable
time within which the attorney gen-
eral may make objections to the pro-
posal if further study develops it will
not meet the requirements of the Sher-
man law in all respects.
OLD FEUD ENDS IN SHOOTING
Kansas Men Seriously Wounded When
They Quarrel.
Leavenworth, Kan.. June 30.—As the
result of a feud of long standing be-
tween three Salt Creek Valley resi-
dents, Fritz Walkenback and William
Wrigley are in a local hospital and
William Lacaille is at his home, all
seriously wounded.
Walkenback has only a flesh wound
in his hip while Wrigley received a full
charge of No. 6 buckshot in his lungs
and intestines, lacaille was Bhot twice
in the neck with a 32-calibre revolver.
Lacaille and Wrigley probably will not
recover.
In the district court this morning
Wrigley and Walkenback were fined
and sentenced to jail for violation of a
court injunction against selling
liquor. They were given a stay of
sentence and returned to Walkenback’s
place.
Soon Lacaille joined them. Wrigley
accused Lacaille of shooting his
pigesns. Following hot words Wrigley
left and returned in a few moments.
He fired twice at Lacaille with a pistol.
Walkenback rushed to the rear and se-
curing a shot gun, discharged it at
Wrigley. Wrigley returned the fire,
the bullet striking Walkenback in the
hip.
Six Slain and Home Burned.
Columbia, S. C., June 30—That John
D. Jacobs, a farmer who lived near
Peak, Livingston county, and his wife
and four children, were murdered,
their home afterward set on fire in
an effort to conceal the crime, was
the conclusion reached late today by
the coroner’s jury after an inquiry
which had lasted all day.
Early this morning a milk man dis-
covered smoke issuing from a grove
where the Jacobs home stood. He
found the house almost destroyed and
several charred bodies in the ruins.
The inquest disclosed that Jacobs,
his wife, his daughter, Ellie, aged 23,
and three sons, aged 18, 14 and 10,
were dead. The bodies of all except
that of the oldest son, Leslie, were
found lying in their beds, as if they
had been murdered while they slept.

^CAMPAIGN TO SAVE BABIES
Before All Things, the Need of Pure
Milks Comes First, According
to All Authorities.
It is estimated that a baby nursed
by its mother lias approximately ten
times the chances to live that a bottle-
fed baby has. All welfare workers,
therefore, are advised to encourage
mothers to make every effort to carry
out this most important maternal
duty.
A clean milk supply is a fundamen-
tal need. The ideal is: Nothing short
of clean milk for everybody. Rut the
need for the prompt remedy of bad
milk conditions is more urgent In Us
relation to the welfare of babies than
to that of adults, since dirty milk Is
largely responsible for the occurrence
of diarrhoea und enteritis, the most fre.
quent causes of death among infants.
The remedy lies in the intelligent and
effective inspection of farms, the
shops where milk is sold, and in ordi-
nances governing tho sale of "dipped"
or "loose" milk.
Donald's Opinion.
Donald was an old Scotch beadle
who officiated in a HighUand kirk
where the minister, never a bright
star at any time, believed In giving,
full value for tho money, as It were,
in his discourses. A stranger once
asked him his opinion of the sermons.
"Ah, weel," replied Donald, "you’ll
no get me to say onythlng against
them, for they’re verry guid, but I'll
just remark this much:
“The beginning's aye over far frae
the end, an’ it would greatly improve
the force o’ it if he left oot a’ that
cam' in atween.”
QUEER OCCUPATION FOR POET
Walt Whitman, Not Being Able to
Make Both Ends Meet With His
Poetry, Went Into Commerce.
"Walt Whitman wasn’t as successful
as the English poet, Alfred Noyes, in
making both ends meet with his
poetry,” said a Philadelphia editor.
"Walt's muse had nothing like the
shallow, commonplace, commercial
quality of the young Englishman’s.
“I used to visit Walt Whitman In
his old age in his little two-story
wooden house In Mickle street, Cam-
den. One day—it’s a pleasant Bouvenir
this, of old-time Philadelphia—one day
In December I said to him:
“ ‘Well, Walt, how are things going
this winter? Any Christmas subscrip-
tions needed?’
“ ‘No,’ said the old poet. ‘No, indeed.
I’m working now. I’m working for
George W. Childs. He pays me $50 a
month.’
“‘Good!’ said I. ‘And what’s your
Job with Childs?’
“ ‘Riding In the horse cars,’ said
Walt. 'I ride about the city, talk to
the drivers and conductors. I find out
which of them need winter overcoats,
and, guessing their size, I notify
Childs, who fits them out forthwith.
It’s easy, pleasant work, and it saves
Childs a lot of trouble over measure-
ments and so forth.’ ”
Very Unusual.
“You newspaper fellows are ordi-
narily hard pressed for funds, are you
not?” asked the genial stranger.
Our natural pride forbade us to
agree with this outsider’s conclusion.
So we said:
“Why—er—not necessarily. What
makes you think so?”
“I’ll tell you. 1 am acquainted with
a member of your profession—and a
fine chap he is too. The other day 1
wanted to talk to him, so I called him
up on the phone and asked him if he
would lunch with me. He accepted,
and at the appointed hour we sat at
the table. I opened the conversation
thus:
“Well, what’s the news? Anything
unusual in your line?”
“ ‘Yes,’ answered the reporter,
•this.’ ”
Knew the Remedy.
-Returning from business one eve-
ning last spring I slipped on the tee
before my home and turned my ankle.
In consequence 1 could not stand on
my feet lor several minutes. My wife
and son, Beeing my predicament, came
out to air me, each taking hold of
one of my arms. Just then a small
freckle-faced boy ran over and said
to my wife: "Missis, give him some
black coffee when you gets him Inside.
My mudder always does that when my
fadder comes home like that.”
And Then He Left.
“I wish I was a star,” the dude
sighed, Bmlling at his own poetic
fancy.
"I would rather you were a comet,”
she said, dreamily.
His heart beat tremulously.
“And why?” he asked, tenderly, at
the same tifiie taking her unresisting
little hand In his own. "And why?”
he repeated, -Imperiously.
“Oh,” she said, with a brooding
earnestness that fell freezing upon
his soul, “because then you would
come around only once in fifteen
years.”
And he took his hat and went out
into the shimmering moonlight.
Bound to Bargain.
“What’s the price of this silk?”
asked a deaf old lady of a young shop-
man.
“Seven shillings,” was the reply.
“Seventeen shillings!” she ex-
claimed. "I’ll give you thirteen.”
“Only seven shillings, ma’am, is the
price of the silk,” replied the honest
shopman.
“Oh, seven shillings!” replied the
lady, sharply. "Well, I’ll give you
five."—Youth’s Companion.

Junior—Here’s an order from Mrs
Peterkin-Smythe, father.
Senior—Really? Clever woman, Mrs.
Peterkin-Smythe. We must do what-
ever we can to oblige her.
Junior—She wishes us to purchase
a thousand shares of J. T. & W. on
her account at 75, and sell at 90. and

Why They Came.
Willie, aged four, had been Invited
out to tea with his mother, and, while
he was being dressed for the occa-
sion, the delights in store for him had
been depicted In glowing terms.
While his mother chatted with their
hostess, Willie sat In solemn silence,
and at last the lady of the house rose.
"Now I must bring In tea,” she
announced, then added: "Would Wil-
lie like some tea?”
The child eyed her in astonishment,
and, in a deeply hurt tone, responded:
“Why, that’s what we came for!”

“His mind a blank,,eh?” said George

On a certain southern golf course
the sand pits are famous for their dif-
ficulty. A New York man played into
one of the pits, and then cursed none
the less malevolently, If silently,
while he took six ineffectual strokes,
raising only clouds of sand and fairly
burying the ball. Presently he was
aware of an interested and incredu-
lous darky watching him.
“Whar you see dat snake you's

lustily calling for her portion. The
nurse was an English girl who had
not yet become quite sure of her
aspirates.
"Haren’t you a little himpatlent.

just a tone of correction in her voice.
"No, I’m a little her patient."
