NOTED ECONOMIST WILL SPEAK HERE Dr. Edward Ross Secured to Lecture Before Teachers' Institute.

The program committee of the Wayne County teachers institute has secured Dr. Edward A. Ross, of the University of Wisconsin, to give ten lectures before the institute during the latter part of August. The list of lecturers has been completed with addition of Dr. Robs. Prof. Elbert Russell of Earlham College and H. A. Adrian of Des Moines, Iowa, will be the other speakers of importance. County Superintendent Williams is making an effort to secure H. P. Brown of Valparaiso for one lecture, but as yet he has not been able to engage him. Dr. Ross is one of the well known political economists of the country, and la noted for his recent book on "Changing America." This work has attracted great attention, and has reMtred much comment from the Century magazine. It deals with the vast changes which have occurred in political, social and economic ideas and principles in America and the growth In wealth and institutions. During the institute Dr. Ross will take up this subject and will have an open discussion. IT. A. Adrian will deliver one lecture on the subject "Passing of the Hickory," which deals with the many changes In the methods of teaching. Prof. Elbert Russell will give two lectures on the subject of "Moral Education."

WILD ELEPHANTS.

When Angry They Can Land a Five Ton Daath Dealing Kick. E. Alexander Powell in the Outing magazine throws, some light on the theory that an elephant is clumsy. When annoyed a wild elephant has a unique method of dealing with the overpopulation evil. Mr. Powell says: "Provided the noosers are working harmoniously, however, and given reliable and well trained decoys, the noosing of a wild elephant is In itself a sight worth traveling half around the world to see. "The animal to be roped having been again selected, the decoys closed in on either side of him until he was practically helpless. A nooser, lithe and active as an eel, slid down the pad rope of his decoy and, waiting until the attention of the captive had been momentarily distracted, slipped a thick noose of rawhide round the hind ankle of his prize. "It is during .nls peattjn that the accidents usually jccnt, rr should the captive suspect aj e:i-v In his rear he can lunge out a five ton kick to a distance of a dozen feet, and that evening the nooser's relatives" assemble for the funeral."

How Diviners Are Guided, Fran Tukory, the wife of a well to do Hungarian landowner, who Is said to have a special talent for discovering minerals with a divining rod, describes in a Budapest newspaper the different sensations which she experiences. When searching for a lost vein of silver near a mine in Germany belonging to Professor Pfahl of Bonn university she says she felt violent twitchings in her right arm. This was a sign to her to turn to the right, and a few yards farther on shooting pains in her arn& and breathlessnes's told her that she was above the spot. The vein was found the next day near the surface. On the other hand, when she discovered petroleum in Hanover she had a feeling as if her head were being bound lightly .with a cloth. Fran Tukory first made a name as a diviner by discovering coal on M. Jan KubeHk's estate in Bohemia. Vienna Cor. London Standard.

Comparisons Are Odious." When, little Amy was three years old he was taken to visit her maternal grandmother. During her stay the entire household made much of her, and on her departure she was hugged and kissed and wept over by each member of tho affectionate family in turn. The scene made a deep impression on her young mind. A. visit to her father's home followed. At tho conclusion of it her paternal grandmother and her Aunt Mabel stood smilingly waving their adieus to the little ono until the carriage was out of sight. Amys.motber was beginning to wonder what made her so unusually quiet when a solemn little voice rang out from her corner of the carriage: "Not a tear shed!" Youth's Companion. Famous Pens. The collecting of pens that have been owned by or associated with famous peasonages is a bobby that has attracted some collectors, though the pursuit is an expensive one. A well worn gold pen used by Charles Dickens brought $300 at a sale of his effects. A pen made out of wood from a box owned by George Washington, the box having been made from a desk brought to America by the Mayflower, is valued t $200t Exchange.

A Revised Order. Real Estate Agent Good morning, sir. Whatcan I do for you? William, bring the gentleman a cigar. Do you want to buy a lot? Caller No; I want to sell one. Agent William, never mind the cigar. Boston Transcript.

A CHANCERY ROMANCE. Helping a Friend, He Unearthed a Fortune For Himself. Perhaps there is no more carious chapter In the history of the chancery courts than that of two Pittsburgh men. The first had a claim to a small estate abroad, but he did not have the money to pay the claim agency to make a search, so he got a friend to back him. This friend's name was Peterman. and the money he advanced was like a grub stake he was gambling on his friend's claim proving up. One day when Peterman was at the claim agency office he came upon this advertisement in the agency files: "Peterman (Albertus), musician, born in Amsterdam in 1829. son of Charles Frederick and Henrietta Susanna Gasman. Left for Liverpool Id 1856. He is sought for Inheritance by M. Contot, avocat, 21 Boulevard St. Germain. Paris." That was the Inception of the famous "Klnsey docks" case, the name coming from the fact that the original Peterman was last seen at Kinsey docks, in Liverpool. The claim agency took the matter in hand, traced Peterman's lineage back and enabled him to establish a good claim to an Inheritance of $200,000. That was a case of fortune being thrust upon a man.

GAMBLED IN SECRET.

JOBS FOR THE INDIGENT.

Swiss Method of Solving the Problem of the Unemployed. In Switzerland the people act upon the theory that a man who is unemployed is, if left to himself, liable to become a waste by beiug a subject of charity and a tax upon the community. Therefore the paoblem is considered as an economic question. The purpose is to assist the unfortunate unemployed- to secure work, not only for the sake of his family, but in the interests of the state. There is no toleration for the loafer. Begging is prohibited by the law, and vagrancy is classified as a crime. If an unemployed person does not make a serious effort to find work the authorities will find It for him, and he is compelled to perform it If he refuses he is placed in the workhouse, where strict discipline is maintained and every Inmate is required to work to his full capacity, receiving therefor his board and Iqdging and from 5 to 10 cents a day in wages. There are also institutions where temporary employment is furnished to persons out of work, through no fault of their own, and comfortable accommodations and some money compensation given until they can find more remunerative wages.

The Romance of Mark Lemon's Most Successful Drama. There is a singular story connected with the play "Hearts Are Trumps," which Mark Lemon, the famous Punch editor, wrote many years ago. When Mark Lemon was visiting a friend's house one day he found there an elderly gentleman with long white hair and a worn, sad face. He was very seedily clad, and there was something in his appearance which excited Lemon's curiosity. When the visitor had gone Mark inquired who he was. "A rich man once." replied his friend. "Lost everything at the gaming table. But the strangest part of the story is that no one, not even the members of his own family, suspected

him of gambling until the crash came. He had kept it a secret from all who knew him. He is now little better than a beggar. He comes to me sometimes and I give him a good meal for the sake of auld lang syne." The tale haunted Mark, says Thormanby in "The Spice of Life." He imagined a daughter waiting at home night after night for the gambling father, ignorant of his secret vice until the day of ruin revealed the cause of all those mysterious absences. He worked the idea into a play which he called "Hearts Are Trump," the most successful of all hia seventy dramas. On the first night it was produced, glancing into the pit, be saw seated among the audience the very man whose career had suggested the plot.
