T. P. A. Notes BY W. H. Q. Regular meeting of the .board of directors tonight. , At a special meeting of the post last Saturday night it was unanimously decided to go to Muncie on Friday, (May 3, via the C. and O. A special 'car for the exclusive use of Post C ;,wiH be attached to the fast train leaving here at 12:15 noon. The car will then be attached to the fast train Saturday evening, arriving home at 7:32 p. m. The fare is $1-60 for the round trip. M. J. O'Brien, L. E. Brown, John B. Hegger and V. H. 'Quigg are committee on arrangements. J. E. Thatcher is chairman of (the committee on decorations. G. A. 'Mendenhall will be glad to look after hotel accommodations for you. Put your name down for a ticket, get your hotel accommodations and join the crowd. We want seventy-five people to go to this convention. Show Muncie what a lively bunch of Quakers ("we are. A prominent Muncie business man once remarked that he thought Rich mond was very slow when compared j to their thriving city, that actually 'the dry goods stores in Richmond j still hung red flannel and other oldj fashioned fabrics in front of their I stores for signs, that the only time we ever wake up was when we had yearly meeting. If we can get seven-!ty-flve live T. P. A.'s to go there on May 3rd, we will dispel any such illusions from any Muncieites. Come jjoin the crowd. Put your name (down for one or two tickets. Any j member of the arrangements commitItee will accommodate you. It is . with sorrow that the many friends in Post C of Charles G. Yelin of Lafayette, learn of his recent death. Charles was a prominent figure in state and national T. P. A. conventions. He had a wonderful voice and frequently acted as reading '.clerk. He served as state president one term and was the firBt chairman of the state railroad committee that did things. In fact, he made the railroad committee a factor in the T. P. A. affairs of the state. He trav- ! eled for years for Franklin McVeigh i and company, being very successful ;as a salesman. His family and many friends of Post E have the sympathy ! of his many Richmond friends. At the post meeting held in Febru- . ary the subject of the recent amend- ; ment to the National Constitution and By Laws by which a member's beneficiary is entitled to $1,000, in case the member is killed while riding on , a first-class passenger train propelled ' by steam, was brought up for discus- . sion. It seemed to be the opinion of some that a "rider" should be put : on the old certificates showing this or new certificates issued embodying this clause. A committee was appointed to investigate this matter and reported last Saturday night that no such step was necessary. The member is protected under the old form of certificate just the same as the new one. This we are assured of by our attorneys and the National office. However, any member holding one of the old certificates and is not satisfled, can have it exchanged for one , of the new form by sending the old '. certificate to T. S. Logan, National Secretary and Treasurer, St. Louis. A new certificate will be issued without extra cost. ' Willing to Tune It. "John, that man next door came over f here today and offered to tune little ! Lucy's piano." "Great! Did you let him do It?" "NO, dear. He wanted to tun It with an ax!" Baltimore Sun. What do we live for if It Is not to i make life less difficult to each other? ! George Eliot YOUNG WIFE SAVED FROM HOSPITAL Tells How Sick She Was And What Saved Her From An Operation. Upper Sandusky, Ohio. " Three years n uAcuAAu ouu wcuv i4j House keeping. I was not feeling well and could hardly drag I myself alone. I had i such tired feeiings, my back ached, my sides ached, I had bladder trouble awfully bad, and I could not eat or sleep I bad headaches, too, and became almost a nervous wreck. Mydoc- ; tor told me to go to a hospital. I did ; not like that idea very well, so, when I , saw your advertisement in a paper, I j wrote to you for advice, and have done as syou told me. I have taken Lydia E. ; Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and i Liver Pills, and now I have my health. ' ' If sick and ailing women would only know enough to take your medicine, they would get relief.

At The Murray Vaudeville afternoon and night. At the Palace. Latest Motion Pictures. The Coliseum. May 23rd and 24th Richmond May Music Festival. Lindley Hall, Earlham. April 27th Day Students' play.. At The Murray. It is with the greatest regret that the theatre going public see the present bill at the Murray leave tonight, as it has been one of the most popular bills of the season. Hallen and Fuller in their comedy sketch by George M. Cohan, furnish most of the laughs. The story deals with a political fanatic paying the foolish bets that he has made before election. Rogers an'd Bumatead put on a highclass singing act, giving selections from the popular operas. They both have excellent voices and are most fortunate in their selection of songs. The Hamilton Trio, a young man and two goodlooking young ladies, singers and dancers, are one of the big hits of the bill, while the Sombreros in their novelty act, are the best of the kind ever seen here. For next week the Pearl Brothers and Burns in "Vaudeville Vagaries" will be the feature attraction. Grand Opera. Joseph F. Sheehan, the celebrated tenor, does not need any introduction. During the years that he was the leading tenor of Henry W. Savage's companies he gained the reputation of America's greatest tenor, and his praises have been sung in every part of the country. During the past four years at the head of his own company, he has added to his glory, and the Sheehan English Opera, Company is today known as the finest opera company singing in the English language. Miss Gladys Caldwell, the eminent prima donna of the Sheehan Opera company, stands among the foremost sopranos in the English language. To hear this dainty young artist sing, "I Dreampt I Dwelt in Marble Halls," is alone worth coming to hear the Sheehan Opera company's production of the . "Bohemian Girl." The entire principals, as well as the splendidly trained chorus have been picked for their special fitness. , The production will be a most elaborate one, having been built especially for this organization, and will be in harmony with the high calibre of the artists. Mr. Sheehan and his entire company of famous artists will be heard at the Gennett Theater, Thursday evening, April 25. A Dark Smoke. Funny thing about smoking! If a man were compelled to puff a good cigar with his eyes shut the operation would lose its zest. A man who had undergone a slight operation upon one of his eyes had to stay in a darkened room for a week with his optics bandaged. After a few days his doctor told him he could take a gentle smoke If he liked. He jumped at the chance and to his amazement found It afforded not the slightest pleasure. To be sure, men often smoke in the dark, mit there's always the rosy glow of the lighted end to be seen and the faint outline of the cloud of smoke in the air. There's no more fun in a sightless smoke than a saltless egg or a kiss implanted upon your own hand. What's the psychology of It. New York Tress. Universal Language. He spoke his love in German she answered not a word. In. French he tried to woo her the maiden never heard. He tried his luck in English, in Irish all in vain; in Turkish. Greek and Latin, and in the togue of Spain. And then an inspiration came to the anguished youth. "The universal language," be cried. "I'll try, forsooth!" He kissed the demure maiden and pressed her to his breast. She understood that language, and you can guess the rest Pearson's. i Thorough Mourning. Mandy. who had Just become a sorrowing widow, was sorting out several suits of black underclothes. Her friend asked in great astonishment: "Mandy, whan fo' yoh done got them black undehga'ments?"

COINS UNDER WEIGHT. In England It's the Duty of Those Who Get Them to Break Them. It is the duty of each loyal British subject not merely to refuse gold coin that Is under a certain weight, but to break it. "Every person," the act reads, "shall, by himself or others, cut. break or deface such coin tendered to him in pay ment, and the person tendering theJ same shall bear the loss." But in spite of this act it is a risky business interfering with coins which you may suspect to be under weight or spurtous. Some months ago a Grimsby woman offered a half sovereign in payment of goods to a local shopkeeper. The latter put the coin iu a testing machine and, as It broke in two, refused to take it. The coin, however, was pronounced by experts to be perfectly genuine, and when the case was taken into a court of law the shopkeeper was ordered to refund 10 shillings to the customer. Money, both gold and sliver, wears out at a startling rate. ' It is reckoned that there is usually 100,000.000 in gold coin In England, a very large proportion of which is locked in the strong rooms of banks. Yet of that which is in active circulation the wastage is so greut that during every twelve months 70.000 worth of gold and silver is rubbed off into fine dust Pearson's Weekly. PUNCTUATION. The Modern System Was Introduced by Aldus Manutius. Punctuation by means of stops or points, so as to indicate the meaning of sentences and assist the reader to a proper enunciation, is ascribed originally to Aristophanes, nn Alexandrian grammarian, who lived in the third century B. C. Whatever his system may have been. It was subsequently neglected and forgotten, but was reintroduced by Charlemagne, the various stops and symbols being designed by Warnefried and Alcuin. The present system of punctuation was Introduced in the latter part of the fifteenth century by Aldus Manutius. a Venetian printer, who was responsible for our period, colon, semicolon, comma, marks of Interrogation and exclamation, parenthesis and dash, hyphen, apostrophe and quotation marks. These were subsequently copied by other printers until their use became universal. Most ancient languages were Innocent of any system of punctuation. We find in many early mauscripts that the letters are placed at equal distances apart, with no connecting link between, even in the matter of spacing, an arrangement which must have rendered reading at sight somewhat difficult IF YOU HAD A NECK AS LONQ A8 THI8 FELLOW AND HAD SORE THROAT TONSILINE WOULD QUICKLY CURE IT.

WASHING AWAY THE LAND, j Erosion of the Drainage Basins of the j United States. Investigations by the United States geological survey of the erosion of numerous drainage basins of the United States show that the surface of the country ia being removed at the average rate of about an inch in 760 years. Though this, amount seems trivial when spread over the surface of the country, it becomes stupendous when considered as a total or even in separate drainage basins. The Mississippi river, for instance, carries annually to the sea 130,400,000 tons of dissolved matter and 340,500,000 tons of suspended matter, and of this total the Ohio river carries S3,350,000 tons and j the Missouri river contributes more than twice as much. The Colorado j river, which has built up for itself a vast delta, brings down more suspended matter than any other river in the United States, delivering annually 387 tons for each square mile of its drainage basin or a total of 100,740,000 tons. The rivers of the United States carry to tidewater every year 270,000.000 tons of dissolved matter, and 513,000,000 tons of suspended matter. This total of 7S3,0O0,O0O tons represents more than 350.000,000 cubic yards of rock or 610,000,000 cubic yards of surface soil. If this erosive action had been concentrated on the isthmus of Panama at the time of American occupation it would have excavated the prism for an eighty-five foot level canal in about seventy-three days. Pennsylvania tobacco fields yield 1,100 pounds of to the acre, not the top of list of the states by any means. A NOTRE DAME LADY'S APPEAL.

Fihe's and druggists everywhere. Driven t It. Guy, the youngest son of Farmei Timmins, had spent two years in college, during which time he had accu mulated more indebtedness than education. His father paid his bills and left him to shift for htmself. The bey had good stock in him, however, and managed by turning over a new leaf, practicing strict economy and doirg odd jobs of work as opportunities presented themselves to pay for his tuition, and stayed on. "How's your boy doing at college?" asked the elder Timruin;-,' next neighbor one day. . "He's getting along all right now." "I hear he's working his way through." "Yes." grimly, but wih a gleam of pride, answered Farmer Timmins. "He found he couldn't work me any more." Youth's Companiou. Skin Peeling Nature's Aid to New Complexion (From AVoman's Tribune.) Mercolized wax ia a natural beautlfier. By taking off the devitalized surface skin, it merely hastens Nature's work. The second skin layer, brought gradually to view, exhibits the healthy youthful color produced "by capillary circulation. This because the capillaries are thus brought nearer the surface; also because the new skin is unsoiled by dust and dirt. This wax, to be had at any drug store (an ounce will do) is put on nightly like cold cream, washed off mornings with warm water. Its work usually is completed in from seven to ten days, long enough not to show too marked results from day to day, or cause pain or detention indoors. A face bath to remove wrinkles, made by dissolving an ounce of saxolite in a half pint witch hazel, is another natural beautifier, since its astringent and tonic effects smooth out the wrinkles in accordance with Nature's own process. ...SEEDS...

LOADED SILKS. The Way the Fabrie la Adulterated to Increase Its Weight. If properly handled silk is the strongest and most durable of all textile material;, but the various proefsses of manufacture that remove much of the natural gum cause It to loe so lartre an amount of Its weight that unscrupulous dyers and manufacturers resort to "lonn;." dipping the thrown silk Into a solution of bichloride of tin. Some are not content with restoring the original weight of the raw silk, but load" it until its weight is multiplied three or four fold. This operation makes the skeins more valuable, but It destroys the durability of the filaments. Stretching the threads to their elastic limit, so that a given weight will weave a greater number of yards, and steaming to give the material an un natural luster are other processes that prove profitable to manufacturers, but costly to the consumers and that cause many people to regard silk as an un certain and treacherous fabric, with an Inexplicable tendency to spilt, crack and fall into holes, even though pack ed away in drawers or hanging up. The use of cheap, inferior and destructive dyes is another practice equally injurious and perhaps still more common. London Family Herald.
