Indiana prams TO HAVE ADDITION

Oramatic Order of "Knights of Khorassan" to Be Organized. FRIDAY IS THE DAY SET. OBJECT OF THE NEW BRANCH IS TO CULTIVATE THE SOCIAL SIDE OF LIFE NOW 136 TEMLES IN THE COUNTRY. Letters have been received by local I'ythians. calling upon thc-iu to gather In Indianapolis next Friday night for the purpose of taking preliminary fcteps toward reorganizing the dramatic order. Knights of Khorrassan. Kspe ial interest attaches 1o the Wove in tho minds of those who are taking 1 lie step, for Hie reason that Ihero is an understanding with the powers that bo in. the. order that, if a uccetaful organization H effected in Indianapolis, no charter will be issued for another lodge, in Indiana, this tneaning that. Ihe Indianapolis organisation would have members from all Jiarta of the state, the. only lodge of ihe kind now existing in Indiana being Bt Muncie. The order stands in i bout the same relation fo the order of Knights of Pythias as does tho Scottish Rito to IMaaonry. To Join the Dramatic Order of Knights of Khorrassan, a man must b a member of tho Knights of Pythias in good standing. The D. O. K. K. is a dramatic and social organization to which only a Pythian in good, standing can belong. Its infallibilities in this state are unlimited. Its object is to cultivate the so cial Bide of life and to present an op portunity for those who enjoy sociability to spend an evening or two each month in association with kindred pirits, where they may participate in cwemonies entertaining and amusing. It also creates and broadens acquaintance among Pythiaus, furnishing a common ground upon which members of different lodges can meet and know one another, thus breaking those lines of separation which often exist between tho Beparato organizations. There are now 13t temples in the United States, and all are in flourishing condition. CIGARETTES THE BOY'S DOWNFALL It Is Held That Roy Coombs Is In Every Sense a Cigarette Fiend. TO BE DEPRIVED OF SMOKES JUDGE CONVERSE HAS ORDERED THE SHERIFF NOT TO ALLOW HIM TO SMOKE WHILE CONFINED IN COUNTY JAIL. Excessive use of cigarettes is assigned as the cause for tho criminal tendencies shown for the past two or three years by Roy Coombs, the sev enteen years old lad who was sentenced to over 100 days imprisonment by Judge Converse, for assaulting his two younger sisters. Young Coombs, it is said is in every j sense of the term a "cigarette fiend." ! In the city court Saturday when Coombs was arraigned before Judge Converse on a chargo of assault and battery, the court administered to him a severe lecture on tha evils of cigarette smoking, but the lecture apparently failed to make any impression on the boy. Judge Converse asked him if he would not promise to "swear off" smoking cigarettes while at the county Jail, but Coombs refused toi take the oath. Judge Converse then ' he received no "coffin nails" while confined at the institution. The Judge has informed Sheriff Meredith of the condition the excessive use of cigarettes has brought young Coombs to, and iias requested the sheriff to see that the lad is forced to abstain from the habit while he is a prisoner at the bastile. "For some time Roy Coombs has caused the police department considerable trouble." a police officer states, j "He has stolen various things, but ! when taken into custody would stoutly deny his guilt it would be known positively that Coombs was guilty, but lack of proper evidence would prevent making charges against bini and it) would be necessary to give him a severe lecture and then turn him loose. Coombs finally got to believe he was Immune from arrest. The sentence given him Saturday by Judge ConVerse and the order that be be depriv-j ed of cigaretti-s vhilo in jail will. I bo-' Hcve, do the boy much good." How He Was Buried. A man .returned to his native vil lage after baviug emigrated to Kan eas some twenty years previous. He' asked alout different villagers be had ; known in the old days and finally of the town drunkard of his time. ! "Oh. he's dead," was the reply. -Well, well! Dead and buried, is! "Nope.

Pope Pius, X, has just celebrated a jubilee of his priesthood. The picture at the left shows Signora Salto, tho Pope's mother, at the right is a picture of His Holiness himself, in the medallion in the centers shows a little church at Keist, where he first officiated as a priest fifty years ao, and below is the house in which, the Pope was born. A CLOCK IN A BOTTLE. The This Marvel of Mechanism Was Constructed. A German clockmaker living in the little village of Gommer, near Magde- ; burg, built a clock in a bottle. The maker, II. Rosin, secured a strong i movement with a cyliuder escapement j measuring forty-five millimeters and ! began by sawing the plate into halves. The opening in the neck of the bottle measures fifteen millimeters, and ia order to' get these halves into the botI tie he cut another segment off each of the halves of the plate. He built a sort of tripod as a resting place for the movement. This tripod was assembled after he had introduced its parts into the bottle separately. The tripod is bo constructed that It cnunot turn when the movement is being wound. The four pieces of the plate were fastened side by side by means of screws to the platform attached to the tripod, a long screwdriver and other tools especially constructed for the purpose having been used for this operation. When the plate was put together, the clockmaker proceeded to put all the parts of the movement in their original places with the motion wheels for the hands. A ring of white metal was placed around the neck of the bottle, and upon this ring was soldered a round plate, thus closing the opening. On this cover were fastened in an inclined position the arms which serve as a support for the dial. The dial is made of a ground glass plate, which has a diameter of twenty centimeters. The black numbers on the dial an ut skeleton fashion and cemented to the glass. At night one can tell the time by placing a light behind the dial. Technical World. THE HUMAN TONGUE. Eloquent Even When It Does Not Articulate a Word. It is never necessary for the tongue to talk in order to tell that you are ill or the nature of your illness. The tongue of the dumb is quite as eloquent when viewed by an experienced physician as the tongue of the most talkative person. It is a wonderful organ and should be studied by all parents, not only on their own account, but on account of their offspring. It aids in mastication of food. In drinking, in sucking, in articulation, and contains in Its mucous membrane the peripheral organs of taste. There are doctors who will spend half an hour feeling of your pulse and listening to your heart beats. There are others who command. "Stick out your tongue." One glance at your tongue will to them tell the tale. Tremulousness of the tongue when it is protruded is a positive sign of various nervous diseases. But by far the commonest cause of this tremulousness is an excessive Indulgence In alcohol. There is an old rule about looking into a man's eye to tell if he be a habitual lusher. It often fails. Drink in some men excites the lachrymal glauds, causiug the eye to appear watery. But all of us know men who have watery eyes, yet never touch liquor. But the best and final test is the tongue. It is the only f!gn that cannot be concealed. If a man seeking employment swears on a stack of Bibles that he does not drink, make !um stick out his tongue. If It trembles he is a liar. New York Prss. Combs Made of Old Shoes. A mountain of old boots and shoes. Indescribably ugly, indescribably filthy, lay in the factory yard. "We'll mke combs out of them." said the chemist, "combs that will pass through tho perfumel and lustrous ltK-ks of xho most beautiful girls. Seems strange, dsn't it':" "Very." "Yet it's a fuel. That is what becomes of all the world's okl shoes. They are turned imo combs. The leather is first cut into small pieces and immersed two days in a chloride of sulphur bath; then it is washed, dried and ground to powder; then it is mixed with glue or gum and pressed into comb molds. "It makes good enough combs, but I prefer the rubber ones myself." Exchance PALLADIUM WANT ADS. PAY

A GLUTTON, NOT AN EPICURE AH Manner of Odd Things Are Eagerly Devoured by This Voracious Feeder. The Singular Adventure of a Ten Dollar Gold Piece. One day in lWCi A. E. Levy of New York felt the piscatorial fever surging through hla system, so took a day off i and went out to the fishing banks to j try his luck. Aa he was dressing his j catch that same evening he discovered i in the stomach of a cod a ten dollar gold piece, with two diamonds set on one side and the initials P. C. E. on the other. Levy was so amazed that he nent the story to the papers, and it was copied throughout the country. I He bardly expected ever to hear from it, but a few weeks later was surprised to receive a letter from Ta trick C. Evans, residing in Kansas, who elaLned the pieee as his own and presented ufficient evidence of this to satisfy Levy, who accordingly turned it over to him. It seems that Evans was in New York earlier in the year and spent a day blackflshlng in the lower bay, and as he was hauling in a fish the chain to ' which the coin was attached got caught in the rigging of the sloop, which Just then rolled, the chain snapped, and away went the coin, never to be recov ored, as he then supposed. One of the saddest finds recorded was that of a St. John's (N. F.) fisherman, who discovered a wedding ring in the entrails of a cod in 1871. It was eventually proved to have belooged to Pauline Burnam. an Englishwoman who was lost in the steamship Anglo Saxon, wrecked off Chance Cove. N. F., In 1861. The lucky fisherman received a present of 50 for restoring the highly prized memento to the woman's son. i A Havre fisherman's wife, drying codfish caught by her husband on the coast of France in 1904, noticed that one fish had a hard substance inside, i On Investigation she found in the fish a golden bracelet. How the ornament came Into its strange receptacle .is. of course, not known, hut it is conjectured that it must have slipped from the wrlst of some fair passenger leaning over the bulwarks of a transatlantic liner and ben seized by the cod. Last year the greater part of the male and part of the female population of the village of Portishead. at the mouth f the Avon, in England, turned anglers for awhile.

A Trumpeter's Courage. During a French campaign In Africa 1 many brave deeds were done, but none braver perhaps than Trumpeter Esooffier's rescue of his captain. The Arabs were pressing the cavalry of Captain De Cott, and everything was In confusion, when De Cott's horse wes killed under him and the capture of the officer and the whole compauy seemed inevitable. At that moment the trumpeter of the company leaped from bis horse and gave it to De Cott, saying: "Take him. Your life Is ueccssary. Mlue is useless. You can rally the men. It does not matter about my neck." De Cott mounted the horse, rallied the company and continued the fight. Trumpeter Escoffier was taken prisoner, but the Arabs, who adore courage, had witnessed the scene and. appreciating the nobility of the man. trented him with generosity. His trumpet was a source of great entertainment to his captors, who used often to make him give the signals of the various military movements. One day Escoffier gave the whole repertory with great rusto. finishing up by blowing the summons for a charge with an extended flourish. "What was thatr asked the Arab chief. "Ah," said EscofBer.

kind that are STORIES OF IBSEN. The Buttons He Sewed en and Hi Good Wife'a Comment. Some amusing anecdotes of Ibsen have beeu published by the Norwegian writer, John Paulsen, who was a in tlmate terms with him for many years, says the New York Bun. One of his stories he prefaces with the remark that, however much the dramatist npheid the rights of women, h by no means considered them superior to men in any lineIn fact, he considered them iuferior In many spheres In which the world in general puts them ahead. One of his maxims was: "No womau could write a cookbook, and no woman can sew a button o fast." He lived up to the latter part of his dictum. When he detected a loose button on auy of his garments be retreated to his own den. locked himself In and with elaborate preparations sewed the button on. He took as nnuli pains with It as be would with the final fair copy of one of his plays. Then he rd to bras about the performance, bi.. .ur that ho wouldn't put trust in a button sewed on by any woman, not even by his wife. His wife used to laugh with a quietly Ironical expression on these occasions. She confided to Paulsen that she secretly resewed all the buttons that the poet had sewed sewed them good and tight, as only a woman can, she said, explaining th- Le always forgot to fasten the tL J. and tha buttons would come off In a few days ' if sbe did not look after them. "But don't undeceive him." the faithful wife added appeallngly. "It makes him so happy to think that he did it." So, Paulsen remarke. there was a hidden lie In the life of the great apostle of frankness and truth. One day in Munich Ibsen asked Paulsen In the most concerned way whether he polished his own fcboes In the morning. With a feeling of Indescribable guilt Paulsen confessed that he didn't. "But you ought to." Ibsen urged. "You will feel a different man if you do. No man should let another do for him what he can do for himself. "Begin with polishing your shoes and you will soon come to keeping your room in order, even to making your own fires. In this way yon will gradually develop inti a self reliant raan, independent of servants and all other people." Ibsen was extremely sensitive about any one finding out the least hint regarding any Incompleted work that he had in hand. He never revealed a plot, an incident or a scrap of dialogue until the work was completed. Once his wife picked from the floor a scrap of paper with the words, "the doctor says." npon It. She asked her husband jestlnely what the doctor did ay and who be was. Ibaen went int? a paroxysm of rage. He declared that be was not safe ia his own houHo: he was surrounded with spic?. All his idas were ruined, his plans thrown awry. He was only i' ified when his wife showed him the paper nl explained where t he hid found it.
