Tatters Carry Their Fortunes in Throats The ten and coffee tasters of the big importing and Jobbing houses are paid large salaries. The sole duty of many of these experts Is to taste the brews of many varieties of tea and coffee. And their palates are their fortunes—it it’s palates that register flavor. Whatever it is, it must never ■fail in its fine discrimination; a taste (that it requires years of practice and experience to attain. The president of a well-known coffee Importing concern, is an expert in the selection of different varieties and combinations of coffee nnd almost any day may be found as the sole attendant at a little afternoon party peculiarly his own. From a casual enpful of the brew that is put before him he has no difficulty in telling the name and age of the berry from which it is made, the country in which it was grown, and in fact, all the family history of that particular blend. Tea and coffee tasters In the large ■ Importing bouses are said to daily con ’sume several quarts of clear strong coffee with apparently no deleterious, effects. In a measure this may be due to the fact that, for fear of impairing their coffee “taste" they must take no other stimulant of any kind nor use tobacco in any form.

Universal Belief in Horseshoe as “Lucky” Almost everyone at some time has found a horseshoe. And almost every•one who found one has either proudly hung It up or tucked it away for safe keeping. What then could be more appropriate than to use the horseshoe as a beautiful door knocker to adorn the entrance of your home? Or to use it as a door stop, or book ends, or as an ’ash tray for your living room? The horseshoe has been accepted nnd recognized as a symbol of good luck almost universally for many centuries. Ancient mythology credited the -horseshoe with threefold powers of good fortune. The shape suggested The saintly halo. It was made of iron, a metal of unusual strength, and its relation to the horse, a favored an Imai, gave it extraordinary power. Washington adorned a doorway at Mount Vernon with a horseshoe. Lin.’coin cherished this treasure find of his early youth. Lord Nelson hung one on the mast of his great ship Victory. Everywhere in England, Europe, nnd 'even in far-off Hindustan, the horseshoe stands for just one tiling—good luck. The Jacana Dance In tropical South America and on 'some of the islands in the Pacific is found the beautiful bird known as the jacana. It is famous for its so-called love dance, which is executed by the males to increase the admiration of the female friends. When the mating season approaches the jacana will single out its favorite lady and try to win the admiration of the attentive female with all its bewitching maneuvers. Tn the dance the wings are spread and worked in such a manner that the beautiful colored feathers produce a brilliant effect — Washington Star. Welsh Race Vanishing That the Welsh as a distinct and separate race, with its culture, literature and art, will be practically out •of existence in the next 50 years, is the prediction of students of Welsh .nationalism. They point to figures showing that in Wales today there are more English, Irish and Scotch than there are Welsh, Cardiff, with 250,000 population, having only 45,000 native residents. It is estimated that only 5 per cent of the population of Wales can speak, read and write Welsh. Foot Index of Character , It is astonishing how much may be interpreted of human character from the foot, says Nathan Hack of Hack’s boot shop. Modern detectives, Hack claims, relying on this hypothesis, ean •guess from the footprint the size and ■weight of the man to whom it belongs They can go further and speculate as to the strength of the man. and as to little peculiarities regarding his physical make-up. The Indians knew ’this, as did the most ancient of peoples, Hack said.—Boston Herald. Traitorous Words It appears there are 1,100 “traitorous words" in the dictionaries of the French and English language which are essentially alike, but with Shades of difference In meaning. A French lexicographer compiled a list of 400 such words, and then a collaborator, at his request, found 700 more. They had a lawsuit as to whose name should appear first on the title page of the book, and the court ruled they should appear side by side, the originator's on the left Die-Hards Perhaps no fresh water fish is more tenacious of life tliau the bul>l,e«G or horned pout.

Many fishermen have thrown bullheads on the ground at night to discover in the morning that they still show a Sicker of life. „ . ..

DENIES MURDER OF MUNCIE WOMAN Charles Beasley. 37, Pleads Not Guilty To Charge At Newcastle Newcastle, Ind. Sept. 28 U.R) Charles Beasley, 37. Terr.’ Haute in dieted by the Henry county grand jury for the minder of Myrtle Miller. .!•>.: Muncie, entered a plea of not qulltyj when arranged in circuit court here. The true bill was composed of two paragraphs, murder and luurdet with lobbery the motive. Beasley pleaded not guilty to both. With the reading cf the true bill, it was disclosed for the first time that Homer Patterson, Terre Haute, was also charged jointly for the crime. Patterson escaped. The slaying, which to: k place on a lonely road near here, was alleged to have been planned by Beasley and .(Patterson foi the purpose of robing the woman of her jewelry. Two rings and a set of ear tings had been removed from the woman s body, police said. The murder ended an alleged drinking party in which Mrs. Miller. Beasley, Patterson, and Mrs. Irene Moyer,

Terre Haute, took part. Mrs. Moyer was in the automobile when the slaying tock place, and later wade a confession on which Beasley was indicted.

SMITH ELATED BY RECEPTION (CONTINI Kl> FROM PAGE ONE) 15.000 which packed the city audi torium was his from the moment he appeared on the platform with his brown derby. With a sweep the audi-1 ence rose to its feet and acclaimed him, and was quieted with difficulty. Draws Much Applause Smith was his old characteristic campaigning salt and drew shout after shout of applause, mingled with uproarious laughter as he employed ■ ridicule, satire and his New York buffoonery upon Herbert Hoover, Dr. Hubert Work, chairman of the republican national committee. Secretary i of Agriculture Jardine, and republi-1 cans in general. He charged the republican administration of the last seven years with lack of leadership, and told the crowd, to its amusement, that he thought the president ought to give the people "the low-down" on what transpires in Washington He attacked Herbert Hoover on farm relief and inland waterways, challenged him again to state his position further on these issues, and defended his own position on immigration. drawing a thunder of approval when he praised the Germans and Scandinavians who make up a large part of this state’s population. The lights went out twice, as the democratic candidate was in the midst of his speech. It was explained that this was caused by an adjustment of the amplifiers which were carrying Smith's voice to a large throng in Rice park outside the auditorium. The cheering for the New York governor before he spoke was led from the’ platform by Louis W. Hill, presides;’, of the Great Northern railroad. Mid son of Janies J. Hill, known in this section as the “Empire builder.” in his speech tomorrow night in Milwaukee, which will close his western speaking tour, the Democratic candidate will discuss his prohibition modification views, a subject popular in Wisconsin. Gov. Smith assigned responsibility tor failure of farm relief and an adequate inland wateiway program to “lack of leadership” in the last two administrations. “It is not sufficient, in my opinion," he said, “for the president to state PUBLIC SALE I, the undersigned, will sell at public auction at my residence at 224 North Fifth street, commencing at 1:00 P.

The candidate restated his inten- ' lion to leave "the choice of a route for an inland waterway to an engineer- • ing survey, admitting he previously

had favored the all-American route across New York state rather than the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence route. The Republican platform of 1928, he said, “simply provides "cheaper transportation for bulk goods from '
