Do You Play Billiards?

ANOTHER PROTEST AGAINST HER "HATS OFF" ORDER.

I

HOW ABOUT YOUR BOYS? Where do they play? It is one of the most healthful and fascinating of all games, but there are few places to

indulge in it where the surroundings are not questionable—at

least.

The Combination Billiard Table for the Home is a dining or library or billiard or pool table at will. No special room is necessary. Bad associations are eliminated.

The whole family can join in the game, and will enjoy doing so. The tables vary from standard down to % size. They have slate beds and “live" cushions. In all respects they equal the regular table — Except Price. That is about two- | thirds below regulation.

WASHINGTON, December 15.—The Texas sheriff,^who appealed to the Postoifiee Department last week on behalf of the citizens of a little town In the southwestern part of the State, asking that the postmistress, who. according to the sheriff's letter, required citizens of the town, from the mayor down, to remove their nats and look pleasant on asking for mail, and who emphasized her views with a brace of revolvers, to be "toned down some," has again been heard from. The sheriff evidently overlooked the fact that it takes some time for an inspector to travel clear across Texas, and his appeal is urgent. His

letter follows:

Not Dealing with a Man.

“There ain't no inspector showed up in these parts yet, and we'd like to know if one is, coming. When I wrote you last week things wasn’t exactly calm and peaceful, and since then the situation has sure become acute and unsatisfao tory. This lady postmaster here found out in some way—we ain't yet decided how—that the mayor and me and other leading citizens of this town was -some vexed and annoyed with her, and since then the postolfice ain’t done any business to speak of, It it was a man dealing out stamps and handing over our mail you can rest easy we wouldn't have asked for help, and as it is we certainly are sorry to bother you. But we ain't making war on women, including this one, wiiich cun handle her armament quiet casual 4nd flippant; so we want

you to do something. Urges Views Forcibly.

"This town respectfully protests to you against the way In which this accredited postmistress is hTging her views on politeness; this town respectfully prhtests that It ain't got time to leave its hat outside the door when getting Its mall; this town respectfully protests that Us dubelected mayor is important in the eyes of

“FIGHT THUGS WITH HATPINS,” SAYS JUDGE Chairman of Boston’s Police Board Thinks They Are Most Effective Weapons. BOSTON, December 15.—Hatpins are the best weapons for defense that women can use as protection against holdup men. Says Judge Emmons, chairman of the Boston Board of Police. "Let women use their hatpins to protect themselves," he said. "1 think It will be quite effective. They always have the weiiAxm with them and It would be easy to get at. I know that the result in some cases has been death from blood poison-

ing.

"If a woman dares carry a revolver and Is obliged to be alone at night, it would not do any harm for her to have one, but in nine cases out of ten the woman would be more afraid of the weapon than she tS-ould be of theman. "An escort would be another solution to the question. 1 think there Is not nearly go much danger when there are two together. But if a woman can not get an escort and dares not carry a revolver, I think the hatpin would prove a very efficient weapon.” OLD SLAVE'S SAD RETURN. Walks from Georgia to New York to Find Relatives Dead. SYRACUSE. N. Y.. December 15.-Carq-|ine E. Hixson, a negress bent and Wrinkled with age, has arrived here, having walked, she says, from Georgia to geek relatives from whom she was separated flfty-six years ago. The old woman told the police where hsr parents had lived, but no trace of them could be found, and It Is supposed they died years ago. Two other persons Were located who remembered her, however, and they confirmed the story she told of having been carried away in childhood with several runaway slaves. LIONS A BAZAR FEATURE. I^idy Monson’s Charity Sale a Great Success in Parts. PARIS, December 15.—Bostock’s bay lions were a feature at the charity bazar of the English embassy church. Miss Clementine de Vere took the Hons in the afternoon from the hippodrome to the bazar and put them through their pacings hourly in the presence of delighted spectators. The bazar, under the auspices of Lady Monaon, lasted two days, and was a great success. Lady Mo neon alone making $8,000 at her stall the first day.

Philadelphia Societies to Act in Conjunction with Street Cleaning Committee. PHILADELPHIA, December 15.—Women s clubs throughout the city are much gratified over the recent action of the street cleaning committee of Council in passing an ordinance requiring that ashes and housenold waste must be deposited in separate receptacles, just as ashes and garbage are now kept apart. Mar\y clubs have departments which pay special attention to municipal affairs and are greatly Interested In any action which tends to improve or beautify the streets. Mrs. J. P. Mum ford, of the Civic Club, said she felt sure the Civic Betterment Association, an organization formed under the auspices of the Civic Club, would see that all housekeepers were Informed of the new ordinance. TOSSED PEDDLER INTO TREE.

Bull was Infuriated by Red Cloth

Around His Bundle.

BETHLEHEM, Pa., December 15.— Anthony Meltzinger, a pack peddler, of Philadelphia, had an elevating experience as he was crossing a field a short distance north of Bingen station, on the Philadelphia & Reading railway. Meltzinger climbed a fence,after leaving the railroad, and had nearly reached Glnder s farmhouse, when he was chased by a bull which had become infuriated at the red tablecloth In which the stock of goods was bundled. Thinking to dodge the animal by running around an apple tree, the peddler had almost reached the tree when he was "reached” by the bull and

tossed skyward.

The man fell In the tree, and became so entangled among the leafless branches I that he was obliged to stay there for more tharv an hour, before two gunners, attnicted by his cries for help, came to

his rescue.

To get the peddler out of the tree they had to climb up above and lift him from between the branches in which he

was wedged.

CENSUS OF CHILDREN SETS WASHINGTON IN FLUTTER

Question Sent to Army and Diplomatic Circles Asking Information Gives

Rise to Speculation.

WASHINGTON, December 15.-"How many children have you between the ages of six and sixteen?” This question has been sent out by Adjutant-General Hall, of the War Department, to all the army families in Washington. Through the State Department the same query has been addressed to the various foreign embassies and legations, and the navy families may as well be prepared to answer it. It occasioned great commotion. Not accompanied by any explanation, some persons are wondering what business it is of the War Department, anyway. Especially is there resentment expressed in those homes where there never has been childish laughter. The army and navy people are obliged to move around the world frequently, and this mobility retards domestic development a little. All kinds of solutions of the puzzle were of-

fered.

“Does the President fear race suicide has hold •of the army?” was asked.

RELIEF FOR THE IDLE POOR

LONDON,December 15.--Fami!ies which are now searching the~great stores in the West End of London for Christmas presents find that everything is costly beyond precedent. The managers of the stores agree that business has been slow for such a long time that they must get money and therefore they are raising the prices. Business has not been affected by the weather, but shares the depression which is ascribed mostly to the Stock Exchange and the prolonged effects of the war in South Africa. The head of a Regent-street department store said: “The Stock Exchange is the best barometer we have. When money is tight the people spend less in luxuries.' There is a scarcity of money and the people are enconomlzing all they can.”

Daniel Watabee was Persecuted by His FelloW-Tribesmen. VICTORIA, fe. C„ December 15.-Ad-vlces have been received from Kitkatlah, a village on the northern British Columbian coast, of the rescue of an Indian who was about to be killed by fellowtribesmen, who suspected him of practicing sorcery. The persecuted Indian, known as Daniel Watabee, had put a ball of fat, bound with hair and pieced with fishbones, in his shoe as a charm which he hoped would bring him the love of an Indian woman. Fellow-tribesmen accused him of sorcery and planned his death. Word was sent to the Indian agent at Port Essington, who took a number of specials to the village by canoes and rescued the Indian. His persecutors were arrested and taken to Port Essington, where they w’ere fined and bound over to keep the/peace.

WESTCHESTER, Pa„ December 15.As the details come out about the assault made by several of her pupils upon Miss Helen Harvey, the teacher of Locust Grove school, Pocopson township, they reveal the existence of a youthful gang of ruffians that reads like a chapter out of a novel of the Jesse James school. The principals are four boys, three of whom are brothers. It Is said that the boys had each pledged to rally to the support of one another whenever the teacher of the school found it necessary to chastise any of their band. Thus it was that Miss Harvey was pretty roughly handled by the quartet theother day. One boy was throwing ice on the fioor, when the teacher remonstrated with him. and then proceeded to administer punishment. This was the signal that the other boys awaited, and In a moment they sprang to their comrade's relief. In the struggle between the teacher and the boys Miss Harvey was stabbed in the thigh and her clothing slashed to shreds. The School Board had the boys promptly arraigned before Justice of the Peace Paxson, of this city. One is charged with felonious assault and battery and three with assault and battery. Their ages range from about twelve to fifteen years. WANT NO MORE NECKTIES.

Grocery

Clerks Rebel Against Time-Honored Gift.

the

NEW YORK, December 15,-The grocery clerks in Bayonne have to a man rebelled against the presentation, as Christmas gifts by customers, of neckties. For years the clerks have received } nothing else th]in neckties from customers whose wants they look after during the whole year. As though by agreement the ties were red, running from suodued tints to the most boisterous shade. Several of the clerks declare that they have in their hall bedrooms trunks filled with nothing but nockties presented to them by customers, and others have tried in vain to give a part of their stock away. Some of the ties looked suspiciously old when received by the clerks, who believe the husbands,, brothers, fathers and unclep of the donors of the ties wore them until they could bear the anguish no longer. It was reported that the clerks will hold an indignalloh meeting to take steps to prevent any clerk accepting a necktie this Christmas a$ a gift from a customer.

The effect of the bad times extends to the humblest ranks of industry. The prospects for the winter are particularly bad in the building world and the riverside and shipping business. The London County Council is trying to find how to establish relief works and also to see how London’s unemployed may be fitted for agriculture In the thinly populated tracts of Essex. The problem has not been made easier by the convincing proof that a large percentage of the unemployed are chronic beggars. Some clergymen In the East End of London, distributed tickets for hot meat suppers to deserving men. One of them decided that a man should earn his supper by working for a quarter of an hour at chopping wood in the garden of the rectorv. The result was that only eight sat down to supper. The coal wharves need men arid are working shorthanded. A'dollar a day is offered for unskilled laborers, but the places are not sought. The chronic congestion in the ranks of the lowest unskilled labor has accentuated the anti-alien sentiment in the East End so that the government has promised to Introduce some legislation at the beginning of the next session.

Herschey, of the German Mennonite College, at Bluffton, O., criticised President Roosevelt for urging big families and a greater increase of children, but stated that whut was needed was the betterment of those already in existence. He made a plea for educated women and said there is no reason why a woman should be denied the right to vote, if she wants it. He predicted that fifty years hence women would rule every profession and business, and that men, to earn a livelihood, would be compelled to bow to her for a position. He attributed the decline to the carelessness and inactivity of the young men of the present age. and declared that woman's perseverance gained for her the coveted goal.

Fox Terrier Takes Daily Ride on New Haven Road. GREENWICH, Conn., December 15.— Dewey, the New Haven trainmen's pet, was in Greenwich a few days ago. The tag fastened to his collar read “Dewey, Free Pass, Rye Station, N. Y.” Dewey is a small white fox terrier, with a black spot on his back, and he Is never contented unless traveling on a railroad train. He is good natured. wags his tail at almost everybody, but If one tries to take him by force from a railroad station or depot there Is trouble. Dewey travels from New York to Springfield some days, but always fetches up at his home in Rye when night comes. He watches for an approaching train, and when It stops he is at the door of the express car barking for admittance.

FOOD CAUSE AND EFFECT.

The Effect: Your great-grandfather was a hale and rugged man because his staff of life was natural food—whole wheat. That was before the white-flour cruelty to the sys-tem-before sustaining parts of the whole wheat were removed in white flour milling. All about us to-day we see physical and mental weaklings whose pitiable conuitlon Is the result of eating unnatural foous—people with part of their bodies starving. The Truth: People with whole health eat naturaf food-sickly people eat pies, mushes, and white flour products, which are unnatural foods because essential parts of the wheat have been removed and are not present In them. The natural food is Shredded Whole Wheat Biscuit. ' The Reason: In it are contained the precise elements In the exact proportion required by nature for the complete nourishment of the body and mind-nothing added and nothing taken away—an. undespoiied natural product. The Proof: To Natural Food Co.. Niagar Falla N. T.j Orntlemen—I was irritable and dull two hours after eailng and unfit tor work. I gave up eating white bread, pies and the like, and tried Shredded Wheat. In a single week I felt a great change in my system for the belter. I have been using Shredded WKeat for about six months now and have splendid digestion, feel bright and alert after eating and am physically stronger than I have bees In fifteen years.
