MARIAN COCK TO LECTURE TONIGHT

Well Known Traveler Will Speak on Sicily and the Greek Islands. SHE SPEAKS AT Y. M. C. A. SLIDES SHOWN TO ILLUSTRATE HER LECTURE ARE HANDPAINTED, THE WORK OF A PROMINENT ARTIST. Miss Marian Cock will present her lecture. "Sicily and the Greek Islands" at the Y. M. C. A. this evening. Her slides, prepared by an artist under her direction, have an unusual charm of artistic value. They are not colored by a professional "colorist." but by Miss Alice Hunt, who accompanied Miss Cock and made the sketches on the ground, and from these she paJaied the slides. Miss Cock handles her themes with rare grace, holding the attention of her audience by the naturalness and case of her manner and the unvarying freshness and enthusiasm of each presentation. A slight idea of the grandeur of litis production might be gotten from the following synopsis of the lecture: Sicily and Greek Islands. Departure from Naples, Strom boll, Harbor of Palermo, with Mount Pdlegrino. Pig-skins of oil. Gay Sicilian carts. Street scenes. S. Giovanni degii Eremitl. Sicily, not Venice, the store-house of medieval mosaics. The Capella Palatina. Up the hill to Monreale. The cathedral and its cloisters. Cefalu. Straits of Messina. The ruined district before the disaster. lieautiful Taormina. Rock of Acis. Scene of the Polyphemus myth. Syracuse, reflecting perhaps more history than any city in the world, with one exception. Theater. Galleries of Fort Euryelus. White road lined with prickly pears. The pathetic quarries. Ear of Dionysius. Sulphur Boats. "Evil Eye." Girgenti, "the most beautiful city of morals" Pindar. Temples of Concord and Juno Lacinia. Old water carrier. A stormy voyage across tho Ionian sea. The Aegean Islands. Delos, the sacred island of Greece. Wonderful Mediterranean colors. Naxos. Primitive agricultural methods. Melos, the home of the Aphrodite. Recent excavations in the Island of Crete. Our ride donkey-back to ancient Knossos. Curious sights en route. Group of excavators. Palace of the Double Ax the "Labyrinth." Corinthian canal. Site of old Corinth. Corfu, most beautiful of the Ionian Islands. More white roads. Old oliv? groves. Where is the "white-armed ' Nausica, daughter of Alcinous, king of tho Phaeascians? Lo, the Princess passes! This is a rare opportunity for those who appreciate a really artistic production and those at all interested in such things 'should be present at the Y. M. C. A. tonight. SPECIAL ISSUE 00T The football number of the Earlhamitc, has just been issued by the Junior class of the college. The number contains a cut of the class of 1911 and also an excellent picture of the football squad. Earl ham has just experienced one of the most brilliant football seasons in its career and much of the matter in the recent issue of the college paper deals with the record of the team. Tho number is ably edited and worthy of much praise. Froo laxatiuo For Babies Just as a mother is careful about the food she gives a child, she should be careful about the kind of a laxative she gives it to move its little bowels. Not all remedies for this purpose, no matter how good they may be, are suited to a child. You should especially avoid pills and tablets and powders, tor they Are dlfflcult to digest and children find It hard to swallow them. And purgatives and salts and the various waters are too violent for the young. Better glvs it a gentle though effective laxative like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which is pleasant to the taste and absolutely does not gripe. A fifty cent or one dollar bottle can be bought of any druggist, and if you give a small dose, as the directions call for. before you put the child to bed, or a small dose before breakfast, you will have a cheerful, happy child In a few hours. This remedy has been sold for timMt a quarter of a century and thousands ' oi lammes anow aoouc it. but if you have never used it and you would like to make a test of It before buying It In the regular way. send your name and address to the doctor for a free sample bottle. In this way. without expense, many mothers have learned of a way of curing children of the little ills of life and thereby avoiding the graver diseases. In the family of Martha Bmlnter of Torkvllle. S. C. and I. S. Bowyer of Jamestown. Colo, no other laxative but this is used.

THE SCRAP BOOK

THE TIMID MINER. Two of His Checks Cashed, He Made Bold With a Third. A mining man from Mexico came to New York to sell a mine. He had a good one and good introductions and went to one of the big hotels. Here he was presented to the manager and cashier and vouched for. "You can get anything you want here," said his friend. "I have fixed it with everybody." Next day the mining man came down stairs and timidly approached the cashier's window. "Beats all how much it costs to live here in New York." he said. "I can't turn around without it costing me something. Can I get some money here." "You can," said the cashier. "I am instructed to cash any check you may present." The mining man wrote out a check for $30 and handed it in. The cashier smiled as he gave him his money. Next day he came around again. "Son," he said to the cashier, "1 am "WILL YOU CASH ANOTHER CHECK FOR ME?" elean put out about the way I have to spend money here. Will you cash another check for me?" He wrote a check for $50 and was given the cash. Next day he sallied up to the cashier again. lie had sold his mine. "Son." he said, "am I right in thinking you will cash any sort of a check for me?" "Certainly," replied the cashier. "Let me have it." "All right," said the Mexican miner, "cash that, for I'm in a hurry to get home." And the cashier fell in a fit when he picked up the check. It was for $3.000,000. Saturday Evening Post. He Got the Rest. A certain member of Lord Kitchener's staff in India who had been married a few months previously applied for sick leave, which was readily granted. A couple of days afterward Lord Kitchener happened to meet the wife of the officer. She thanked him profusely for allowing her husband to go to the hills and explained that she was now in the midst of packing up. "But there is some mistake." said Kitchener. "When I gave Captain permission to go to the hills it was so that he might have a rest, and I am going to see that he gets it. If you go his leave will be canceled!" Perseverance. The tendency to persevere, to persist in spite of hindrances, discouragements and Impossibilities it is this that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak. Thomas Carlyle. Needed Scratching. They were having trouble in getting a jury to try a case in a county court. There had been a good deal of feeling aroused, and no one seemed particularly anxious to put himself on record for either side. One man hesitated a long time about stating the grounds on which he based his claim of exemption. Finally he said: "Well, your honor, the truth of the matter is I have the itch!" "Scratch him off, Mr. Clerk; scratch him off. instantly replied the judge. Lippincott's. Got His Man. Some years ago in Egypt General Hunter was at dinner with some friends when one of his orderlies entered the room and said there was a messenger. outside anxious to see him.

Vaudeville at Gennett. Tonight is the last night of the big vaudeville show which has made such a hit at the Gennett this week. On account of The Girl from the U. S. A. appearing there tomorrow, the vaudeville company will go to New Castle for Saturday. One of the funniest acts ever seen here is that of Gardner and Revere, Dick Gardner having a thoroughly spontauoous humor which keeps the entire audience in gales of laughter. Happy Jack Gardner has made another hit with his billboard song, and in fact there is not a dull moment in the entiie evening. General Hunter could not leave tne table at that moment and told the orderly so. "What shall I do with him. then, sir?" asked the orderly. "Oh, knock him down!" said Hunter Impatiently as he turned to his dinner. Five minutes later the man returned bearing obvious marks of the fray. He saluted stiffly and said to the astonished general, "I had a bit of a job, sir, but I knocked him down at the finish." Next Best. A certain young minister in Philadelphia, recently ordained, is still very nervous, and sometimes his remarks do not convey exactly the meaning he intended. A few Sundays ago he rose, fumbled with the papers on his desU, blushed and then said: "My friends. I I am sorry to say that I have lost the notes for my ser mon, and I therefore cannot deliver it. I will have to do the next best thing and read a few chapters from the Bible." Wanting In Grit. At one of the fashionable seaside resorts on a beautiful evening last sumj mor a handsome couple promenaded the beach until they were tired and then threw themselves ou the sand to rest. The young woman watched the waves, while the young man toyed with the moonlit sand, tossing it from hand to hand. "Reginald, dear, you puckered up your lips just then as if you were going to kiss me." said the beautiful creature languorously as she glanced at her companion. "I intended to," replied Reginald hesitatingly, "but I seem to have got some sand in my mouth." "For heaven's sake, swallow it," exclaimed the young lady. "You need it badly in your system!" It Pays. It pays io wear a smiling face And laugh our troubles down. For all our little trials wait Our laughter or our frown. Beneath the magic of a smile Our doubts will fade away As melts the frost In early spring Beneath the sunny ray. It pays to make a worthy cause By making It our own. To give the current of our lives A true and noble tone. It pays to comfort heavy hearts Oppressed with dull despair And leave in sorrow darkened lines A gleam of brightness there. Fannie E. Emmis. A Bridal Tour. At a fashionable wedding in a southern city the contracting parties were a wealthy widower and a handsome young lady, and a faithful old servant who had lived with the first wife all her married life was reporting the festivities confidentially the next morning to a neighbor. When she finished a fellow servant asked. "Is he going to take a bridal tour?" The old woman looked startled and then, glancing around to see that no one was near, whispered. "Well. I don't know ex he will take a bridle to her if she gets cantankerous, but he sure did take a strap to the other one." A Tragedy at the Parsonage. A present of a pair of chickens to a country parsonage where there were a large family and a small income was an event, and the youngest two children (who were usually put to bed with a simple meal) were promised a share in the family treat; but, unfortunately, two neighboring ministers 1 dropped in. and the children's mother j had to compromise with the little people. A promise of candy pacified them i to wait until the older people were ; through. ! At the table the chicken was fast j disappearing, when the door, which ' had been suspiciously creaking for : some time, was flung wide open. Two ; faces glared at the visitors, while two j childish voices shouted in unison: "Go' ahead; that's right! Eat it all tip, hogs!" Wonderful. A German university doctor, desiring to see a bird catcher exercise his employment, accompanied him to the field. As soon as he saw the birds he hallooed in Latin: "There they are." The birds took the alarm. The sportsman, indignant at the absurdity of the professor, told him of it in very plain terms. "My good friend, exclaimed the doctor in great astonishment, "who would have imagined that birds would understand Latin?

USE TOBEBCULIIIE ALL (MB STATE State Veterinarian Has Submitted an Interesting Report on Matter.

8,720 COWS WERE TESTED IN INDIANA'S NORTHERN COUNTIES THE PERCENTAGE OF REACTING ANIMALS WAS 8.6, LOWER THAN EXPECTED. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 26. - Dr. A. W. Bitting, state veterinarian, has a very interesting article in the Monthly Bulletin of the State Board of Health on the subject of testing cows for tuberculosis. The article says: Last year nearly l:t,xo cows were tested for tuberculosis in this state. Official tests were made on s,7JO head in Lake. Porter and adjoining countie-s, Ft Wayne tested nearly 1,."iio head. 1.(100 other official tests were made in various places and the remainder were conducted in private practice. Th? S.720 tows in the northwest section were divided into f.iso herds and 7." reacting animals were found in 'jus herds. The percentage of reacting an imals was K.s or lower than might have been expected, but the percentage of infected herds, 4S per cent., was very high. At Fort Wayne only 17 per cent, of the herds were found to be infected, but 1 per cent, reacted. This probably more nearly represents the conditions found throughout the state. The tests in the northwest section of the state have a special value in that they include nearly the entire bovine population of that section. In is", herds, or one-third of those tested, there were only one or two reacting cows, a total of 245 head, or just onethird of the entire number of reactors These herds could have been freed from disease by sale or slaughter at little sacrifice to the owners, and instead of only r2 per cent, of the herd being free it could be easily increased to s. ner cent, the first year. The 2o herds having the highest number of reactors had 2!2 diseased cows or more than the 1S5 herds. These highly infected herds had bfen kept together for a long time or had been made ti to a large extent from purchases at tho stockyards. They serve to show what may be expected to occur in the other herds unless some measures arc taken to eliminate the infection. The last locality at which testm; was done, out of V.' cows tested. '" reprted. Ill were slaughtered arid ;: condemned as unfit for food. A;i even more startling record than this wa -. found. A man took 2" hoc;? to market, and upon slaughter and federal inspection 2" were found to he diseased with incipient tuber ulosis. I were condemned as unfit for food. An inspection of the premises was made and i suspicious looking steer killed and well developed lesions of tuberculosis were found. seyen head of cattle were tested and I'i hojrs. I of the cattle and ." of the hogs reacted. The family cow two of the hogs and some apparently sick shoats were slaughtered and all had clear cases of the disease. At tlm time there were 25 head of cattle and 2'K hogs on the farm. Later Hi! of the hogs were unlawfully sent out of the state, and upon inspection the following record is obtained: One packer bought 1:52 head and 1.T" were diseased. i1 being condemned: another packer bought one .and it was condemned: 15 head were reshinped to one point and condemned, and HI became mixed with another lot and the record lost. Later 13 head of cattle were taken to market for slaughter, " were killed and found to be diseased and the butcher refused to kill the remainder. The o remaining head and one other were then shipped to another point and on postmortem. H were found to be diseased. Still later other cattle were shipped. 7 of which were found to be diseased and 4 were condemned. The inspector visiting the premises reported that the chickens were diseased: the owner has died since the trouble began and the statement is given that the cause was "throat trouble." There are sti'.l other chapters to be added to this record. One of the results of the testing during the past year has been to develop a good economical system. The usual method of taking temperatures for a period of forty-tight hours, limited the work to small numbers and made th cost amount to from one to three dollars per head. It was found that the work can be done in one day, and that the cost need not exceed 3t cents per head. Two men can test between 200 and 250 head per week. Upon thi basis, a city the size of Lafayette could test all the herds furnishing its milk supply in a few weeks and at a coat not to exceed S30O. The law enacted by the last legislature provides that any dairyman may have his herd tested at actual cost. la the event diseased cattle are found he has thj-ee options: 1st. To prepare the affected animal or animals for market and to sell subject to post-mortem examination. The federal rules and regulations shall govern the inspection. If the animal passes as fit for food he receives its market value: if It fails to pass, he can recover only the value of the hide, and body as fertilizer. 2d. He can retain his cows for dairy purposes provided the milk be pasteurized in a manner approved by the Stato Board of Health. No animal showing any physical evidence of disease can be used in such manner. 3rd. He may retain valuable breeding stock for breeding purposes under conditions approved by the state veterinarian. The state makes no compensation for diseased animals except when condemned by the state veterinarian. In the case of tuberculosis, he most quarantine

and give the owner a choice of one o! the three options. Indiana has a good law, much better than most states. By the enactment of local ordinances, most of the cities could have a tested milk supply in a very short time. The season in which to do the work is at hand, and will continue until about April 1.

W A MERCHANT OF FEZ. Description of His Rise and His Ignominious Fall. The merchants of Fez are to be found all over Morocco. In due course Ali Mahmoud launches out into business on a large scale, lie prospers exceedingly and presently purchases a black female slave to assist his wife in her duties. Ali Mahmoud takes a house in the Medina quarter of Fez. overlooking the pleasant olive groves. In course of time he buys two more slaves and is fairly set up as a householder. When his first daughter is born there is great rejoicing. The baby is immediately stained all over its little body with henna and then smeared liberally with butter and wrapped in woolen cloths. Oh the seventh day these are removed, and the child is washed for the first time. When the girl has reached her first year her head is shaved, leaving a little tuft by which Mohammed could catch her up to heuveu if he were so disposed. In her seventh year her hair has grown long again. She is then veiled, aud her proud father sets about looking for a husband for her. It is stili the custom to betroth children from iufa n cy. All Mahmoud prospers, and. save for a few domestic troubles, his life runs smoothly. In the evenings Ali will sit and smoke in the bosom of his family. Ou Thursdays and Saturdays he visits his friends. They jiass the time in simple games of cards or in listening to the weird efforts of itinerant musicians. Our merchant gets stout as he approaches middle age. One day his world tumbles about him. Such is the uncertainty of fate in Morocco. He was serving in his shop when the customer suddenly raised his voice and cried out that lie was gettiug false weight. The accusation was terrible, and Ali vehemently protested his innocence. It was au arranged charge by an enemy of the merchant, who philosophically bowed his head with the saying: Kismet! Mine enemy has found me. and the serpent requires milk." The arbitrators are called, and. having been bribed previously, they find Mahmoud guilty and sentence him to the usual puuisbinent meted out? to givers of false weights. He is dragged to the southern wall of the city, to a place where a tall gibbet is erected, i'.y the irony of fate it is v ithin sight of his own house. A rope is made last to his right wrist and hoisted u; until his toes can just touch the ground. Here he is left till sunset. The idlers jeer at him, and the gamins of the quarter pelt him with stones and refuse. At sundown his friends carry him home, a poor, bruised and senseless body. Broken and disgraced, thus ended his career as a respectable merchant. Morocco Cor. London Graphic. Oil Bathing. Oil bathing is a regular institution among the Hindoos. An experienced masseur rubs the oil on lis patrons, friends or relatives generally once a week. And it is a fact that moles, warts and such faults of the surface of the skin are very rare among them. The newborn infant gets the oil bath daily for forty days. The intervals are then gradually lengthened, but he will be considered a very naughty boy who during his school days tries to shirk the oil bath at least once a week. As a youngster he yells all the time he is being bathed, l'erbaps it is good for his lungs. Anyhow, uobody thinks of finding fault with the nurse for the hallooing of her charge, and generally speaking it may be said that Indians have better lungs and better pectorals as compared to the body weight than the Europeans, aud the feminine bust is decidedly fuller and more perfect. C. N. Saldanha in Lancet. How to Carry Books. The Philadelphia free library permits patrons to take out six books at a time during certain months. "If you are not going to wrap those books up let me show you how to carry them," said one of the assistants at the library recently. Then the young womau slipped a cover of one book inside of a cover of one she placed on the top of it, building up a pile of six books in this fashion, and ftie man addressed, who was carrying the volumes home to please his wife, the reader of the family, found his difficulties were much lesseued. Philadelphia Press. Too Much Like Work. The happy mother of a seven-months-old baby, whose chief business seems to be making a noise in the world, was paying her sister a visit, and the other evening young Master Harry, aged seven years, was delegated to care for the baby while his Riders were at dinner. So he wheeled it back and forth, forth and back, the length of the library, giving vent to his sentiments by singing, much to the amusement of the family: "Gee whiz. I'm dad I'm free! No wedding- bells for me!" Ladies' Home Journal. An Expansive Production. Tou were very lavish with the snowstorm in the third act." "Yes," explained the manager. "I bought that snow when white paper was not so high as it is now. Knnaa City Journal. Domestic Note. -Give the deTil his due." he said.

THE CAT AND THE BABY. 1 A Medical Opinion as to the Tradition of a Feline Danger. Several physicians have Investigated the ancient story that cats suck the breath of babies, and Lr. J. Ricetiibbs declares that the theory is ridiculous. Cats occasionally kill children, be declares, but they do it In a different fashion. "It has been stated that a cat's no, trils are so formed as to make a per. feet juncture with the nose of a baby. said Dr. tUbbs. "and that a little pre, sure would push them upward and make them a ierfect fit. Then the rat's chlu would rest over and below the baby's mouth, preventing it from opening to relieve the strangulation while the oat sucked its breath. That is all rot. The manner lu which little children are killed by cats la this: A cat looking for a warm place to curl up aud sleep lies down upon the chest of a little child, and. being quite heavy many cats are as heavy as little babies simply crushes the breath out of the child's lungs, and stranoulation takes place, but not through sucking of the child's breath. "The idea that only black cats kUl little babies is equally ridiculous. It is dimply because black cats are considered unlucky. In former times the black cat was considered the very genius of witchcraft. In those days when a baby died the blame was often fixed upou some bag who, the judges said, had sent a black cat to suck tba baby's breath. Aud often bag and cat suffered death at the stake. "Evil ouieu is still the cry In many parts of the world whenever a black cat approaches n cradle. Many persons are so superstitious that the appearance of a black cat in a sick room is 'considered equivalent to an announcement of approaching death. What could be more absurd? "Mothers need uot be afraid of cats, black, white or green, sucking their babies breath and murdering them. It is time that this popular fallacy should be exploded." New York World.
