PREPARES FOR LEGISLATURE Progressive Representative Will Support Measures Prepared by Progressive Legislative Committee. (Continued from Page One) Btitution should be embodied in the new but a general revision should be made. Terre Haute Plan. "The Terre Haute plan, which provides that for every teacher in each county $100 be set aside would be a reat benefit to the counties in the northern part of the state but would work a hardship on the southern counties to demand a more regular attendance than they now have. They would have to lengthen their sessions to receive the full value of this law. This would necessarily increase their local taxes. In Wayne county this law would mean an increase or from $6,000 to $14,000 according to School Superintendsns Charles O. Williams. Sale of Stocks. Mr. Judkins has not decided as to 'Low he will act on this measure, i A law regulating the sale of stocks ;is being drawn up by both the Progressive committees and the Democratic legislature committees. It is known as the Blue Sky" law. It provides for heavy punishment for misrepresentalion of stocks and will do away with fine "gold brick" business, Mr. Judkins believes. I Mr. Judkins will represent a (measure providing that the state furniish free school books to all the school ichildren in the state. The school book trust will be the only losers by the passage of this law according to Mr. lJudkins. The state can furnish the (books at one-half the price which is TiAw r v nniH fnr thorn Mr .TnrllHna isays. I Penal Farm Bill. ; "The proposed penal farm bill which provides that workhouses and penal farms be established in districts about the state is one of the most important measures which will probably be passed said the Progressive representa'tive. The prisoners confined in the workhouses will be educated to various trades and their earnings will go to support their families," says the representative. City Statistics Births.

Austria Hungary and the Emperor The easiest of bad habits to acquire Franz Joseph, is that of speaking loudly. Language
has become so complex that not only is it necessary to say the right thing, but it must be said in the right way. A phrase may be said in jest or in ' earnest; a rebuke may be kindly or stern; an order may be willingly or unwillingly received according to the tone in which it has been said. Many a faithful workman is unjustly accused of unwillingness and disloyalty because of . the churlish manner in which orders are received. Many a master is regarded as unfeeling by hi employees because his actions are forgotten and only the sting of his sharp manner remembered. There are more homes that have been wrecked by a misuse of the voice than in any other way. A simple question, "Is dinner ready?" put by the husband may be said In such a way as to arouse every drop of fighting blood a woman has, or the same words may be put in such a tone that they bring forth a hearty welcome. The old song, "It isn't what 'e says; it's the nasty way 'e says it!" is the real answer to many a question put in the divorce courts. Hobble Skirt 5,000 Years Old. Dr. Edith N. Hall, who has charge of the excavations in Crete for the University of Pennsylvania and who is in this country to deliver a course of lectures on the work, declares that the excavations so far made show that the women of 5.000 years ago wore hobble skirts, laced in tight corsets and wore mannish collars. She also declares that ancient Crete had reached a very high plane of civilization. The city had a drainage system which compares favorably with any present day drainage systems. "Excavation on the island." said Dr. nail, "will be materially assisted bv the Balkan war. since under the Turkish regime the excavating is hampered by a great deal of red tape." Scrub Your Chickens. The skin of poultry is frequently very dirty when brought from market, and fowls should be not only washed. but scrubbed with a soft brush and warm water. In which a teaspoonful of baking soda has been dissolved. Such treatment will prevent the disagreeable "benny"' taste often noticeable in cooked poultry. SORROW AND PAIN. However well and hapoy and successful we may be, sorrow and pain are never far away, and the world pain is everywhere, and there is no peace or joy for us at any rime if we cannot feel that in and through and over all the sickness, sorrow, pain and loss and shame and sin there is the eternal goodness.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY. The Famous Case of Lesurques of the Lyons Mail. The most famous of all cases of mistaken identity is that of Lesurques. charged with the robbery and murder of the courier of the Lyons mail, the incidents cf which were woven into the old dramatic play "The Lyons Mail." Lesurques was positively identified t na n mnn i-lir ha.1 1 1-o i 1 1 1 I-,, t ) 1 .1 mail coach, and he was in due course convictea. let at tue eieventli hour a i woman came into court and declared i his innocence, swearing that the wit- j nesses had mistaken him for another, j Duboscq. whom he greatly resembled, j She was the confidant of one of the j gang who had planned and carried out i the robbery. Rut her testimony, al- ' though corroborated !"y other confedI erares. was rejected, aud Lesurques received sentence of death. Lesuraues died protestiug his innocence to the last. Four years elapsed bpfore Du boscq was captured. In the interval others of the gang had passed through the hands of tbe police, but the prime mover was only now taken. Even men ne twice escaped from prison. w nen nnany ne was put on nis trial and the judge ordered a fair wig. such j as Lesurques had worn, to be placed on nis neaa. tne strange nseness was; immediately apparent. He denied his guilt. but was convicted and guillooffense. To Cur Snoring. "At a banquet." said an editor, "I once heard Jerome K. Jerome make a speech on snoring. I rememler that it ended with these words: "To cure snoring it is advised that a piece of soap j be dropped into the month of the snor- j er. The oil in the soap will lubricate j the pharynx and other Latin parts of the throat. This remedy must be applied with caution; otherwise the snor- ! er will arise and lubricate the floor with the person who dropped in the j soap.' " 1

"Take hair t singeing for example, I was sitting in a barber j shop one after- j noon at the time when hair singe- i icg first came out. ! and a middle aged chap with a thin, sparse thatch was ' having a singe at the hands of the head barber. Two laboring men sat and watched the singe for awhile with awed eyes. HAVING A SINGE. The burning taper passed to and fro across the thin, scant crop of hair, and the laboring men couldn't understand , it at all. But finally one of them i brightened up and. putting his big. r"ufu ua"d toJhe side of his mouth, he whispered to his companion hoarsely: 'He's iooliiu' for 'em with a light.' ' What Is Good? "What Is the real good?" I asked in musine mood. Order, said the law court; Knowledge, said the school; Truth, said the wise man; Pleasure, said the fool; Love, said the maiden: Beauty, said the page; Freedom, said the dreamer; Home, eald the sage; Fame, said the soldier; Equity, the seer.

The bride had engaged Snrah. who had been only a week in America, as a housemaid. On her first day her mis tress said: "Now, Sarah. 1 will go over the house with you and show you exactly what you are to do." The bride then kissed her husband and went on her rounds of instruction with the new girl. The nest morning as the bride and. her husband V.'ere sitting at breakfast the young wife was horrified to see the young wife was horrified. Sarah enter and. blushing furiously, go ; nit to the voune man. throw her arms I about him and give him a hearty kiss. His Mild Penalty. Representative Bell of Georgia was showing a rural constitutent about the capitol, and among other places took him Into the supreme court room. "I think we have too many courts," remarked the constituent. "1 know what I'm talking about, too. because I hapoen to be a judge myself that is, a justice of the peace. Year before last 1 had a fellow before me for snatching a pocketbook from a helpless girl, and 1 gave him such a sentence as he deserved, but danged if one of the higher courts didn't undo it all." "What was your sentence?" inquired Bell. "I sentenced the blamed cur to be hung," replied the visitor, She Saw the Jok, Mrs. Helen Hambidge, the writer, j has an English friend who is "a perI fectly dear girl." but has no more j sense of humor than a clock.

In the Philippine portion of his book "The Memories of Two Wars" tleneral Fuuston tells of a uuique instance at the siege of Malahon: "Company L was tiring a few volleys, and one of the men. baring just discharged his piece, felt a second blow against his shoulder, it being almost as hard as the kick of the gun. Upon trying to reload it was found that the breech of the piece could not be opened, and it was laid aside tc be examined by daylight, which was cioue m tne presence or a number or u officers. Upon forcing the breech open it was found that the base of the copper shell of the cartridge that bad been Ored just before the weapon had bven disabled had been shot away, while mixed all up in the breech mechanism we found the remains of the steel jacket and the lead filling of a Mauser bullet. There was a very pronounced dent on the muzzle cf the piece. What had happened was thnt while the mun had the gun extended in the firing position a bullet had gone down the muzzle. This weapon is row in the Army Ordnance museum in Washington." The Wettins of England. If the kinc of England were to reI nounce the throne and resolve to become an ordinary citizen he would be called George Wettin. How does the name Wettin come to be the king's surname? lnis is tne answer Queen Victoria married Albert, duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gothn. of the senior branch of the house of Saxony. The family name by which this bouse, dating from the middle of the tenth century, came to be known afterward was Wettin, and this was and is the stirname of both branches the Ernestine and Albertine of the house of Saxony. The name comes from the castle ol Wettin. near Magdeburg, which claimed Wittekind as the founder of the race. London Answers. Preaching and Practice. Tbe college instructor should take pains to practice what he preaches. One member of a class in English composition brought bis theme to the professor after recitation hour in order that the professor might read a marginal correction which he had written and which the pupil had been entirely unable to make out. "Why." explained the professor, "that says. 'Write more plainly!" Youth's Companion. An Eye to Business. "I want to marry you." said the ris1 Ins young author bluntly.

MAKE COOKING EASY PERFECT BAKING OVEN The value of a steel range depends largely upon its baking qualities. Realizing this, the designers of Jewel Steel Ranges have given the construction of the ovens special attention. They are made fcCj'iare, and full size, with a protecting cast Iron plate oyer tbe top, and a patented non-buckling oven bottom. The heat Is circulated by the direct sheet flue plan of construction which causes the heat from the fire box to travel evenly over the top, end and bottom, before escaping Into the chimney flue. To this scientific plan of heat distribution is attributed the exceptional baking qualities of Jewel ranges. No other range bakes as quickly, more e Charge Account and Main Streets
