CONNOLLY, Publisher, SYRACUSE INDIANA CLAUDE SEEKS NEW PHRASE Bister Lucinda Tries to Help, but Ho Falls Back Rags,” , . “Lucinda!” That was brother Claude speaking, and the Interrogative ascension. In his enunciation indicated that he wanted to ask her a question. He always asks Lucinda when he wants to know anything. “Lucinda,” he went on, “Fve been invited to a dinner by Algernon and I want to tell him that of course I’ll come in evening dress, but I don’t want to say just that to, him, it would seem too formal; and I don’t exactly want to say that I’ll come in my glad rags, for that would seem too informal and also it’s sort of commonplace and worn? Can’t you • think of something that I could say instead of glad rags?" “Why, certainly,” said Lucinda; “tell him you are coming in your gleesome paraphernalia.” “Oh, no!” says Brother Claude, "you know that wouldn't do. He’d only laugh at that.” “Well, then," said Lucinda, “you might say that you will appear in your joyous habiliments.” “Joyous habil—dear, dear!” says Claude. “That’s almost as bad. I don’t want any long words in it, nothing fancy and flowery. I want something lolly and pleasant and lively, not grand and overpowering." “We,., Claude,” said the patient and ever helpful sister, “just write him that you’ll come in your merry regalia. What would you think of that?” But that didn’t strike Claude quite favorably, either, though he liked it better, but he wanted something simpler still, whereupon Ludlnda suggested it to him: “Make it happy togs,” but brother Claude only groans at that and says no, that won’t do, and "he says they won’t any of them do, and he guesses he’ll have to just write t glad rags and let it go at that And that is what he did. Nonplussed. Little Miss Mullet, who is really so called by her Bryn Mawr friends, is of an inquiring mind. When she sees things she doesn’t understand, she inquires about them. She has just returned from the Poconos, where she has been for August and September. “One thing I wish to know,” she said to her friend who always pretends to be well informed. “Possibly you can tell me.” “And what is that, my dear little Miss Muffet?” said he. “Os course 1 am always ready to tell you anything I know.” “Well, I’ve never stayed in the mountains during the winter.

Joubert, professor at the Agricultural college at Fontainebleau, France, claims that he has discovered a new and simple method of making hens lay. He feeds them with wine in addition to their ordinary food. The professor has not allow’ed his discovery to be made known lightly. He has been experimenting with fowls of all kinds for several years and finds the same result in every case. In each case he experimented for the four winter months with two sets of twelve fqwis of the same breed, adding bread soaked in wine to the food of one of the two sets of twglve. In every case° after six separate trials the wine-fed hens laid more eggs in the preportion of tw’enty eggs a month or thereabout. Dynamite for Chestnuts. A crew of men laying a water line through the Chestnut Ridge a few miles from Donegal had a day oft recently and decided to go nutting. Not satisfied with the slow method of throwing sticks at the burrs, the men bored holes in the trees and inserted dynamite, which was sat oft with a fuse. Following the explosion chestnuts could be found spread like a carpet under the trees. While the trunks of the trees were not shattered In all Instances, it is said most of them will die.

NEW NEWS of YESTERDAY

Fear Kept Novelist Away

Charles Reade Wished to See Thia Country but Felt Sure He Would Die of Seasickness on the Atlantic. The first great captain of a Harvard University crew was Frederick Loring. He was, in fact, the first of all American college oarsmen to master the science of rowing and to show the manner in which the mere brute strength of a rower can often be outrowed through the use of skill and science. Captain Loring drilled a Harvard crew in 1867 which gave as fine an exhibition of college rowing a» had been seen up to that time. The crew rowed away from the Yale University boat with perfect ease over the course at Lake Quinsigamond, at Worcester, Mass. And when Captain Loring, who stroked the crew, stopped rowing. thus giving the signal to his crew to cease, every man in the boat was as fresh, apparently, as he was at the moment when he entered it Again the next year, and once more In 1869, Loring stroked his crew to victory; and so famous did the Loring six-oared crew become that Harvard decided to send a four-oared crew under Loring to London to enter into a race with the Oxford crew which had won the annual race with Cambridge in March of that year. Curiously enough, it was this incident which made it possible to learn the ■eason why Charles Reade never visited the United States. It seems that Mr. Reade, who was in athlete, who had rowed with his college crew, and who was fond of cricket, had read reports in the English papers of the maner in which Captain Loring had developed rowing t Harvard. He was greatly pleased when he heard that Captain Loring was to bring his crew to London to race Against Oxford, Reade’s alma mat«w; aud as soon as Loring and his men had arrived in London and got settled in their quarters who should appear to welcome them but the author of “The Cloister and the Hearth,” then at the height of his fame as a novelist. The Harvard men felt greatly complimented; and when, after a brief call, Reade invited the entire crew to visit him at his country place near London, the invitation was accepted with the greatest delight. After the dinner, which was the crowning event of the visit of the crew to Reade’s country place, the

* His Strong Sense of Duty

Hew William M. Evarts Crossed New York Harbor on the Ice to Be Present at Beecher Trial in Brooklyn. Many of the professional associates of William M. Evarts were always of the opinion that his greatest triumph as a lawyer from all points of view was that which came to him through his management of the defendant’s side of the civil suit brought by Theodore Tilton against Henry Ward Beecher for damages of one hundred thousand dollars for alleged alienation of Mrs. Tilton’s affections. These professional friends knew full of Mr. Evarts’ marvelous management of the United States against Great Britain before the so-called Geneva arbitration tribunal. They were not unmindful of Mr. Evarts’ defense of President Andrew Johnson in the impeachment proceedings brought before the United States senate sitting as a high court of impeachment But Mr. Evarts’ association as leading counsel for Henry Ward Beecher in the Tilton suit Involved the most prolonged and exhaustive work he ever undertook. The trial lasted six months. Os all the lawyers upon either side—and there were nearly a dozen in all—Mr. Evarts was the only one who was at his place in the court room every morning at the opening of court. He was also the only lawyer who did not leave the court room on one pretext or another, except at the lunch hour, until the session for each day had ended. In the early months of the trial, which began in the winter of 1874, the severest and most prolonged spell of cold weather New York had known for many years set in. Night after night the thermometer fell below the zero mark. Ice formed rapidly.. Long Island sound was closed near Hell Gate and the steamboats plying bo tween New York and Fall River vrere obliged to take the outziJe passage—that is to say, the oeean route on the couth side of >ong Island. It was almost impossible to cross either the Buds'- or the East.river by ferry on account of the ice. At last an exceptionally cold night—even for that bit;er season—caused the floating ice to ,’reeze and navigation between Manlattan and Brooklyn was practically closed. On the following morning Mr. Evarts was brought by bls coachman to Fulton ferry, on the Manhattan side ot the East river. The great lawyer looked forth from the ferry house and

"I should greatly like to visit the United States,” said Mr. Reade, “1 think if I went there I might stay a long time. lam as proud of the United States as it is possible for any one to be. I feel especially tender towards it because the people of the United States accepted my play ‘Masks and Faces,' with great cordiality. lam told that your comedian, William Warren of Boston, plays the part of ‘Triplet’ in ‘Masks and Faces’ with exquisite art. Then, too, the United States received my novel, ‘lt Is Never Too Late to Mend,’ as enthusiastically as It was received in England.” One member of the crew said to Mr. Reade: "Why don’t you come to the United States? We can promise you a reception as enthusiastic as that which Dickens or Thackeray received.” “I once asked Dickens, if, when he crossed the Atlantic, he suffered much from the weather,” said Reade. “I

Three Trout and a Bishop

Dr. Potter’s Daughter Thought She Had Discovered What He Did When He Was Away From Home Over Sunday. The late Joel B. Erhardt, who was collector of the port of New York under President Harrison and at one time an unsuccessful Republican candidate for mayor of New York, was for years an intimate personal friend of the late Bishop Henry C. Potter of New York, in his day the most widely known of the bishops of the Protestant Episcopal church. One Sunday evening Mr. Erhardt took a train at Tarrytown, N. Y., for the metropolis and found a vacant seat in the smoking car by the side of Bishop Potter. "What have you been doing, Bishop?” Colonel Erhardt asked. “You seem to be almost tired out.” “1 am very tired,” replied the bishop, “and that is one of the reasons why I am glad to have a friend make the journey to New Yark with me; for you and I can talk about many things that are of common Interest, and that will rest me.” “But what should have tired you so?” Colonel Erhardt asked.

saw that the river was covered with ice and that navigation had ceased — the ferry boats were lying Idle in their slips. He was told that perhaps by noon navigation would be resumed to Brooklyn: by that time, it was thought, the heavy tide and the swift currents of the river would have weakened the ice sufficiently to allow the boats to plow their way through it. But by noon the trial would have been under way two hours: that would never do. Without hesitation, Mr. Evarts stepped from the pier to a vessel that had been frozen In alongside it and from the little vessel to the ice. Then, with careful steps, and feeling his way with an umbrella, but without displaying the slightest evidence of timidity, he journeyed Brooklyjiward across the first ice bridge that had formed in New York harbor in many years, and, to the surprise of every one in the courtroom, appeared in his seat there as the clock struck ten“How did you get over, Mr. Evarts?” he was asked. “By a natural bridge,” he answered. “1 crossed on the ice.” “But why did you dare risk your life by doing that?” “It was my duty to my client," was the reply.

There was a prosecuting attorney whose methods were so dramatic aiKi uniformly successful that he not only became the terror of evil doers, but an object of admiration, especially among the negroes. Upon retirement from office he was at once sought after by thos«“ charged with crime. The fir-i two cases which he defended vesulted in convictions, muci to his chagrin. An Cid negro who had watched his prosecution in admiring wonder and looked on with equal wonder when he conducted the defense, accosted him just after his defeat, and said: “Marse Earl, you sho’ is a wonder.

was referring to his first visit to thq States He told me that he was shu< In his stateroom for the better part of four days and suffered excruciate ingly. He did not know why I asked him that question. I did it because , was at that time thinking seriously of visiting the United States and stay! ing there perhaps two or three years! But I shall never go. I know I would be received most cordially. And » should like to visit your far westen} country; I think I could get material there for a story. But I shall nevef go.” “Why not, Mr. Reade?” he wag asked. ”I’ll tell you the reason; I don’t believe I would live to cross the Atlani tic." was the reply. “I am not a timid man about most things, but I am ait abject coward about the sea —not that 1 fear storms, but I suffer horribly from seasickness even in the hour it takes to cross the English channel. Yes, the only reason why I do not visit the United States is because I am morally certain that I should never live to cross the sea —that I should die of seasickness.” (Copyright. 1911, by E. J. Edwards. AH Rights Reserved.)

“Well, I have had a very busy day,” said the bishop. “I went to West Point early this morning. There I confirmed a class at the Episcopal chapel. Immediately after that I went to Highland Falls and there I confirmed another class. Then I crossed the Hudson river and confirmed a third class at Cold Spring. An hour later I went to Peekskill, where still another confirmation class was awaiting me. and after that I visited two or three other churches and at last took a train for home at Ossining Os course, it is very exhausting work: I am obliged to preach at every one of these confirmation services. In addition to that, the hurry of travel is very tiresome. But I rejoice in the work, and a good night’s sleep completely restores my health.” “I have been taking a little recreation today,” said Colonel Erhardt. “I have on my country place a little trout pond. 1 caught a few trout. I have them with me.” Colonel Erhardt opened a basket, yhich he had deposited beneath the seat, and took from It a parcel wrapped In oilskin. He opened it and exposed to the view of Bishop Potter three handsome trout. “I was taking these back to New York,” continued the colonel, “intending to have them cooked for my breakfast tomorrow morning by the chef at the club in which I live during the summer season. But now that I have beard of your exhausting and good work today, it seems to me that I should offer you thes& trout, and I can assure you that they will make a very appetizing breakfast tomorrow.” Bishop Potter was rejoiced to receive a present of that kind. Colonel Erhardt carefully re wrapped the trout in their oilskin covering, and handed the package to the bishop, who thereupon opened his vestment case and deposited it therein. Then he closed the case and began chatting with Colonel Erhardt, speaking regretfully of the fact that there were no longer wild trout near New York, but only tame trout, or those cultivated in trout brooks or ponds. Upon his arrival at his home Bishop Potter was greeted by his daughter. "Father,” she said, “let me take your vestment case. You are very tired, and I shall be glad to put away your things for you.” The bishop gladly accepted his daughter’s ministrations. He went to his study and seated himself in his easy chair. A few moments later his daughter entered the room. She held the open vestment case in one hand and the oilskin parcel containing the trout in the other. “Father,” she said, “when you have been away over Sunday I have sometimes wondered what you did in addition to preaching and confirmation. 1 knew you had some leisure time on your hands. Now I know. You go a-fishing.” Nevertheless, under the supervision of the daughter the trout were prepared with great culinary skill for the breakfast of bishop Potter the next morning.

H WOOD SHOES Forest Footwear Popular in an Indiana Town. Hoosier German Settlement In Which a Wooden Shoe Factory Has Been Conducted for More Than Forty Years. Huntingburgh, Ind. —in the town oi Ferdinand, thia county, many of the older generation of Germans weai wooden shoes. Clemens Luecken ot Ferdinand is a master carver of wooden shoes and his tiny shop is the mec ca for Germans in quest of forest footwear. Dubois county is overwhelmingly German and many of the cue toms of “der vaterland” are observed with as much fervor as though Duboh county were actually ruled by ths kaiser. One of the customs in vogus at Ferdinand is the wearing of wood en shoes and for more than forty years Clemens Luecken has conducted a wooden shoe factory in the little town. Not for one moment in all that time has Clemens Luecken allowed the leather trust to worry him. The soaring price of shoe leather has no terrors for Mr. Luecken. As long as birch and poplar timber can be secured “Der Holtzschumacher” will never care a rap whether Uncle Sam corners the leather trust or the leather trust corners Uncle Sam., Leather is an unknown quantity with Mr. Luecken. He specializes in the manufacture of wooden shoes and the fact that he has been engaged in the business for more than forty years is proof enough that the demand for wooden shoes is pretty steady and that Clemens Luecken delivers the goods. The shop wherein Mr. Luecken has worked at his trade for so many years is situated on a hill overlooking the little town of Ferdinand. The build■L SSI —-—- Iw. L”]- ’ —; Ml x Luecken’s Wooden Shoe Shop. ing is a low frame structure 12 feet square and occupies a site in the corner of the garden adjoining his home. Thfe little building is well supplied with light there being three windows, a door and a skylight. The floor of the shop is covered with wood chips. Tools such as are used by a skilled wood carver hang in orderly fashion about the walls. In one corner of the room stands a very small stove. His work bench in another corner consists, of a six-foot log some -10 or 12 inches in diameter resting on four sticks of wood. In the center of this rudely constructed work bench is a groove. One cannot but admire the skill of the old German when he first shapes a block of wood to conform to tlfe foot. He holds the block of shoe wood on a large oak block and wields a keen edged hatchet with a 'egree of accuracy that is amazing. Wood chips fly in all directions with sach stroke of the hatchet. Gradually the block of wood assumes the form of a shoe. The block is then placed in the groove and an auger-like tool is used in boring out the interior of the shoe. The boring process continues until the interior is rounded out to conform to the shape of the foot. After the interior and exterior of the shoe are smoothed out it is ready for the wearer. The shoes are made according to the length and breadth of the foot as computed by Inches. The host of patrons whom Luecken supplies with wooden shoes every year includes men, women and children. In price the shoes range from 45 to 65 cents. Shoes msjde of come higher because they last longer than those made of poplar and other wood. Luecken can turn out several pairs a day. In addition to supplying the regular channel of trade he sells hundreds of wooden shoes to visitors who buy them as souvenirs. Luecken says that the young American has never formed the habit of wearing wooden shoes —the young American prefers tight fitting shoes made of leather and the painful coins that go with them. The feet of those who wear wooden shoes are never deformed by corns, bunions, etc. If Luecken does not have your size shoe in stock and you are in a hurry he sends you to one of the general stores in Ferdinand, where you can make your selection from a large stock. He supplies the merchants with their stock of wooden shoes. It is a very common sight in Ferdinand to see a patron of Mr. Luecken drive into town wearing a pair of wooden shoes. They come from all parts of Dubois county. Hangs Self With Shoestring. Galesburg, Ill.—Mrs. Josephine Munson, a widow, 74 years old, committed suicide by hanging herself with a shoestring.

Caring for Consumptives. There are now four special methods by which consumptive workingmen in the United States are being cared for. In such cities as Albany, Elmira and Binghamton, N. Y., the unions support a separate pavilion or hospital. In cities like Hartford. New Britain and South Manchester, Conn., the workmen contribute toward the maintenance of a fund for the care of consumptives. The employers also contribute to these funds. There are also two national sanatoria for the treatment of tuberculosis owned and operator by labor unions; one by the International Typographical union, and the other by the Printing Pressmen and Assistants' union. In Massachusetts, Illinois and elsewhere large corporations and manufacturers have agreed voluntarily to care for all their consumptive employes for a limited length of time. CURED SIX YEARS.
