HAPPENINGS in the CITIES

He Learned Operations of the Kangaroo Court

MILWAUKEE— He wanted to find out how the kangaroo court worked, he ■aid He was a neat and enterprising student at Marquette Law school tn search of experience. He called on Sheriff Meims and Joseph Zubzer,

the judge of the “kangaroo court,” after a conference with the sheriff, district attorney and bailiffs. "You’re charged with breaking into tier B without the consent of the inmates.” said the judge. "Guilty or not guilty?” “Not guilty,” said Kreguer. "Did he have your consent, or yours, or yours?” went on the judge, addressing the other prisoners. “No* “Very evidently you’re guilty,” the judge solemnly said. “Fined 50 cents and a bath.” The water was just right when Krueger stepped under the shower. Suddenly it became cold and as he shivered and shook the prisoners laughed. “The detective’s got cold feet,” they cried. At supper time Kreuger took the bread and molasses and coffee just like the others. Afterward he explained, and then they made give a speech.

New York Has Lots of Sharks —in Its Waters

NEW YORK. —In the past summer, sharks have been unusually abundant in the vicinity of New York harbor, and among them have been wanderers from other parts of the ocean which seldom appear here. Except, how-

ever, the sand shark, with narrow, white, catlike teeth, which ordinarily grows only to a length of four feet, the only large shark to be found in large numbers near New York is the Milberts Ground shark. Every year many females of this species, six or seven feet long, enter the bays of Long Island to give birth to their young in the untroubled inshore waters. Sometimes one max Bee th® back fin of one of these sharks following the edge of some shoal where she

is searching for flat flsh and other small fishes on which these sharks feed. In June a 14-foot “basking” or “bone shark” was taken at Westhampton beach, and Doctor Hussakof, the curator of the department of ichthyology of the American Museum of Natural History, made a special trip to examine the rare monster. The report of his observations gives a good idea of this largest of fishes. The basking shark is a sluggish fish, reaching a length of nearly forty feet. Its large mo'uth is not used in preying on other fishes, but in gulping barrels of sea water from which the small animals are strained by the highly developed gill rakers, a habit resembling that of the whalebone whales; Indeed, the gill rakers of the basking shark resemble whalebone, hence the name “bone shark,” by which it is sometimes known. Again, in September a large tiger shark was captured off Islip, and its head was later sent to the museum by Capt John C. Doxsee. The tiger shark attains a length of twenty or thirty feet, and is a wanderer from southern waters, where it Is greatly feared by the natives, who care very little for ordinary ground sharks. The teeth of this species are unlike those of apy other 6f the sharks —broad, with oblique points, and a wavy, cutting edge,

Nose Gems the Latest Fad in San Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO. —If you see a handsomely gowned woman walking down the street with a pair of diamonds sparkling just above where her mustache would be if she were a man, do not be surprised. It’s the latest fad.

♦biz very minute. A hole bored through the nose, either above or below the nostrils, and a little gold bar, with a diamond or other jewel at each end, is clipped through, and there you are. When worn with eclat it’s said to be very stunning. Mrs. Bagal maintains that the proper place to wear it is above the nostrils, just under the bridge. Not every nose, however, is built to wear a gem. Ladies with blue noses, above all, should not wear a jewel, especially a ruby, for that would accentuate what she doesn’t want looked at; and gentlemen with red noses need no further glistening jewel. Hay feverites. too, would be inconvenienced by a diamond or amethyst or other gem on their nose. And a victim of a hold-up would be in grave danger of parting with some of his proboscis if he had it incrusted with jewels and the highwaymen were in a hurry.

Spook Excites Navy Men at New London Station

NEW LONDON, CONN. —At the local naval station, recently made a base for submarines, the gallant band of navy men have been pestered lately with an apparition, and a newspaper man came to investigate the weird tales.

Many of the dark whispers had said: “See Shea at the barracks; he knows.** So to the barracks, an old, threestoried structure, long disused, but now being fitted up for the crews of the submarines, went the correspondent, escorted by the officer of the day. Out Of the anteroom Shea appeared, a robust and muscular young petty officer. “Have you heard of a ghost around these barracks?’’ the corre-

spondent asked. “I*ve seen it,” said Shea; “seen it three nights. And, what’s more, I saw it three or four times and in three or four places every one of these Bights!” “Yes, sir,” Shea went on, "I’ve walked up against The Thing three times Afraid of it? Not much!” It was Friday night—evil time that—that he felt something was wrong somewhere in the barracks, deserted by all save himself, according to Shea. For an hour or two he lay awake, listening intently, but could hear no sound. Then he decided to get up and make a round of the building. So he got up and started down a corridor. Near the foot of a stairway he saw a gray form standing. "What are you doing here?” he demanded. There was no reply. Shea atarted for the gray shape, but just before reaching it, it vanished. The bewildered Shea turned around and there it was just behind him. He was startled by the swift and noiseless change in position, but not think jag of ghost*, only of a marauder, he started to grapple with the shape, when ft vanished again. . The baffled watchman wheeled around to see The Thing at his right side, and as be reached a powerful arm to clutch it, it was gone

jailer, and they explained their duties to him. His name is Joseph Kreuger. “I’d like to have the experience of being locked up and 'tried’ just like a prisoner,” he told the sheriff. He was thrust into tier B. Covert glances were directed at him by the other prisoners. Very evidently they didn’t like him. "He’s a detective,” someone said “Wants to get evidence on some of us.” "Arraign the prisoner,” shouted

Nose gems as desirable ornaments have just been introduced into this country. It is the fastest effort of man —or woman —to achieve good looks. The fad came from northwestern India. That is the country, you know, where people starve themselves to make it rain or to change their luck. Mrs. Mander Kala Bagal brought it from that country to San Francisco, and they do say that some San Franciscans are wearing the nose diamond

GETTING BEADY TO CHOOSE THE NEXT PRESIDENT

Political Parties Beginning to Look Over Material for Campaign of 1916. MANY HAVE SOUGHT HONOR History Shows That Two Hundred and Eighty Names Have Appeared Before Conventions or in Electoral Returns, Among Them Those of Two Women. Washington.—Who will be the next president of the United States? The political incubator is already being stocked with eggs for the 1916 hatching, but no soothsayer can tell just now what ones are fertile enough to produce even a candidacy. During our hundred-and-forty-year career as a republic 27 Americans have held the exalted office which gave them more power than most kings have in modern times. Since the days of 1776 no less than 50 political parties have sought supremacy and have named candidates for the biggest job in the land. Men now generally forgotten or unknown, but big in their day, had votes in the electoral colleges or in presidential nominating conventions as representatives of these parties. Their disappearance from public notice and memory is evidence of the fleeting nature of fame. The following list of about 280 names of those who have been before conventions or in electoral returns includes those of two women. This list is supposed to be complete. It is alphabetically arranged and gives the home state and party in most cases, of candidates and the year in which the name of each was considered. Asterisks indicate winners.

AT THE CROSSWAVS

God’s Admonition to Bewildered Pilgrims Who Seek the Eternal Life. “Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find, rest for your souls.” —Jer. 6:16. To whom is the Lord speaking? To. a traveler at the crossways; wherefore it concerns us; for, sooner 'or later, we all come to the crossing of the ways. The deepest longing in the heart of the average man is that of a. young ruler who said, “Good Master, what shaH I do that I may inherit eternal life?” But there are many voices calling this way and that. What is the bewildered pilgrim to do? The good Lord has something to say in these premises. It is here expressed in five significant words. The first word is “Stand"; that is, stop where you are and do a little thinking. Unfortunately, this is not an easy thing to do. We are under the momentum of life; entangled in “the rush hour” of business and pleasure, with the crowd pushing us on. Would It not be prudent to call a halt long enough to get our bearings? The second word is "See”; that is, look about you. There are diverging roads; and eternal Issues are Involved in choosing the right one. The Bible is our road-map. The third word Is "Ask.” But wpom shall the traveler ask? Other travelers? Alas! many of them are as bewildered as he. Guides along the way? They are not infallible. The only safe plan is to ask the Lord. To your knees, therefore, O traveler! Will God answer? "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” Can you hear him when he speaks? That depends on whether you listen or not. “Ye shall hear a voice behind you saying, “This is the way; walk ye in it.” The voice is behind you; the speaker is unseen; but if so disposed you can surely hear him. The right way is the narrow way. "And Jesus said, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” There are sins to be given up, there are duties to be taken on. The higher life is not the easy life; certainly not until one finds the compensations which were in the mind of Jesus when he said, "My yoke is easy and my burden light.” There is a burden —a burden like the wings of a bird. There is a yoke; but the yoke is for two, and the other bears the heavy end of it. "A highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called the way of holiness; the wayfaring man, though a fool, shall not err therein." The things that are hid from the worldly wise are revealed to a child on the Master’s knee. The king’s highway leads through the. Valley of Repentance. What the Lord said of the self-righteous Pharisee and the contrite publican is as true as ever, “This man went down to his house justified rather than the other.” The king’s highway leads over the Hill of Calvary. For without the shedding of blood —and without a vital faith in the efficacy of the blood — there is no remission of sin.

The Lord did, indeed, lift up hia voice against the blowing of trumpets in the giving of alms, and against the makng of lofig prayers on the streets to be seen of men; but he also said, “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” So the king’s highway leads on, clear to heaven’s gate. A multitude of soulb redeemed are entering there just now, “the ransomed of the Lord, with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads.” “I saw and heard them as they passed in,” says the pilgrim, “and I wished myself among them!” The fourth word in the Lord’s direction is “Walk”; that is, having found the pathway of life, proceed to walk in iC At this point everything depends on the first step. If I were intending to make even a very short journey on foot, I could not reach my destination in a thousand years without lifting my foot and taking the first step. Therefore, do it now.
