No, Rollo, the backbone of summer 'has not been broken merely a chill running up its spine. , Some people who have never worked 'in a harvest fleld wonder at the scarcity o harvest hands. Bonehfads are people who go out in launches without a sufficient supply of gasoline to bring them back. "Earthquakes," snys a physician, "are good for the, liver." If you have a weak liver, move to San Francisco. Hammer throwing should bo encour ged m every town, athletics or not Throw it into tho river. Don't knock, boost. Ohio woman, ninety-one .years old, Coasts that sho never has been kissed, hut it sounds more like a confession than a boast. It is claimed that goat' milk will prcflong life, but to the goat's milk drinkor, like tho married man, life only seoms longer. South American railway trains are reported to bo stuck in snowdrifts. Slip this under the sweat-band oi your bat and keep cool. Tho society for tho suppression of unnecessary noises calls itself the otological congress. Tho very name is an unnecessary noise. One may hope that so many of those now stylo nickels will bo issued that a nickel will always be handy when the telephone is to be used. We aro informed that every timo wo swat a fly we kill 100,000,000 bacteria. Our notion of no job on a hot day is to count 100,000,000 bacteria. A somnambulist in Pennsylvania -walked to work in his sleep. This is the first Instance on record In which a sleep walker ever did anything useful. 1 We have not noticed the boat rockers this season particularly, but tho person who smokes cigarettes in bed has begun to figure in the casualty lists. Every time we attend a ball gamo we are led to wonder how tho manager holds his job when there are so many superior baseball generals in the bleachers. u A Des Moines choir loft la to bo screened to hide the singers' ankles. Mufflers might also bo provided for hunting-case watch covers if the sermons run long. A scientist tells us that a grasshopper can jump 200 times its own length, but it has nothing on tho politician when the time comes to jump on the band wagon. A New Jersey woman, to get rid of flies, got them drunk on whisky. She says that she went on the principle that a drunken fly was like a drunken man easy to handle. Woman in New York was struck by lightning and cured of her rheumatism, but we do not expect to see any rheu matic sufferers going around with lightning rods on their heads. i The small boy, now a big one, who years ago was sternly reproved, if not mere vigorously punished, for catching flies In cburch instead "of listening to the sermon is at last vindicated. An exchange tells us that there is a fish in the vicinity of Hawaii known as the humuhumumumikuapuaa. Compositors and proofreaders will be glad to hear of the humuhumumunukuapuaa. As It is said that rats cannot be kept from ports, and that they may introduce the plague, why do not the vessels adopt the remedy of a police force of cats or rat terriers to catch the rodents in the natural way? When the king of Sweden com manded the presence at the royal palace of the Indian athlete who won the ail-around athletic championship at the Olympic games, the winner refused to go. The situation is unprecedented, and the winner's bashfulness has thrown tho royal entour age into a near fit at the idea of a man's allowing his own inclinations to take the precedence of royal pleasure. A Philadelphia man died while tell ing a joke. When one reflects on the way some people do tell jokes, it .seems that the interests of society at large would be served if retribution were to follow oftener. A defaulting county treasurer In Illlmols was panned on condition he repay the money taken, in installments, 1 the court giving him, at the install'tnent rat-e, over 150 years to pay the 'total sum. If he does not pay it in tho .given time probably tlx law will tak -more drastic measures with him.

CALLS ALL Hearst, Loeb, Archbold and Cortelyou to TestifyNO SUBPOENAS ARE ISSUED Men Said to Have Knowledge Concerning Contributions to Cam- . palgn Funds Are Notified They Are Wanted. Washington, Sept 3. William Looh, Jr., and Gcorgo D. Cortelyou, both former private secretaries to Colonel Roosevelt' when ho was president; William Randolph Hearst and John D.

Efforts are being made to locate the men who handled campaign funds during tho recent presidential prlWilliam Loeb, Ja. maries. Some correspondence along that line is said to await the return of Senator Clapp, chairman of the committee. He is now on a stumping tour in Vermont. Wonder Who Will Be First. Much speculation is abroad as to who will be the first witness put upon the stand when the committee convenes about September 30. A report Is current that Colonel Roosevelt would not appear at that time, as he will be touring the west. Inasmuch as the committee has subpoenaed no one to appear betors it, but has left the date of appearance to the discretion of witnesses, it is believed by many that this course will be followed in regard to Colonel Roosevelt.
