simlax interspersing. Previous to the
the ceremony Miss Grace A. Walker,

beautifully sang "Because," by Edward

fastened with the orange blossoms
worn by her mother when she, too,
promised to love, honor and obey.
Her bouquet was a shower of lillies of
the valley and bride roses, and as an

gift from the groom. Miss Alice M.
Cordie, a sister of the bride was her
only attendant, as bridesmaid, wearing
an exquisite gown of pink crepe over

ing interests. He is the son of the late

PARIS CLOCKS TURNED BACK
French Legal Tim* It at Last Mad*
to Conform to That of Eastern
Europe.
French legal time Is at last to be
b. night Into conformity with the In
ternational time of Eastern Europe,
and la to correspond exactly to that
of London. For this purpose th*
Paris clock will have to be put back
nine minutes, the difference between
Greenwich and Paris. When, by an
International understanding, time
zones with one hour's difference were
adopted for Eastern, Central and
Western Europe, with the meridian
of Greenwich as the starting point,
France held aloof. It would have
come, of course, under the Eastern di
vision, but It objected to adopting the
meridian of Greenwich for that of
Paris. The difference was only nine
minutes, which was another reason
for not making the change, as It
seemed a small matter. But In 1898
the chamber voted the adoption of
the hour In the international conven
tion. The ministers at the time dis
agreed on the subject, and the senate
left the matter in abeyance. A few
weeks ago the minister of public
works wrote to the commission of the
senate, of which M.de Freyclnet Is
chairman, anjl Informed him that the
ministers were now agreed. The com
mission at once met, and a favorable
report was drawn up, and has now
been submitted to the senate. The
exact difference between London and
Paris is 9 minutes 21 seconds, and the
change will be made as soon as the
senate has approved it by a vote.
HOW CAT WON LASTING FAME
Klddo, Feline Mascot of the Airship
America, Is Celebrated by Walter
Wellman in His Story.
From the notoriety viewpoint "Kld
do," the cat mascot of the airship
America during the recent sensational
1,000-mlle voyage over the Atlantic
has eallpsed the human portion of
that dauntless crew. In writing the
history of that voyage In Hampton's
Magazine Walter Wellman has this to
say about how the cat happened to
be put aboard and how It nearly lost
all of Its fame:
"Just then attention was directed to
that member of our crew destined to
be the real hero of the voyage—be
cause real heroes are never self-con
scious—are always conscious of sus
picion and slander, of danger, of over
generous praise—and therefore are
never two-legged. The young gray
cat, taken on board half In Jest as a
mascot, was howling pitifully amidst
these strange surroundings. Chief En
gineer Vaniman, afraid of having his
short sleeps disturbed, Insisted that
"Kiddo" be le<t behind. Navigator Si
mon, sailorlike, vowed it was bad luck
to let a cat leave a ship, and insisted
kitty should stay. Without any fear
of midnight howls on the one hand,
and without any superstitions on the
other, I told Mr. Vaniman to do as he
liked about it. He put puss in a bag
and tried to lower him down to the
motor launch, but the launch had cut
loose and "Kiddo" was pulled up
again, a narrow escape from losing
all his fame."
Making American Styles.
Although the term "American
styles" is heard much more frequently
each season, there are few who know
that It emanates legitimately from an
organization of American tailors, who
devote their time to designing and
producing American styles, just as the
French tailors and the tailors of
Vienna originate new fashions each
year. Those who think enough of the
subject to investigate learn that Mad
ame la Mode Parlsienne, who for so
many years held undisputed sway over
the civilized countries on both sides of
the Atlantic, has lost much of lier
authority. The well-dressed English
woman, who formerly bought all of
her clothes in Paris, is now dividing
her attention between Paris and Vien
na. The American woman is begin
ning to patronize the American tailor.

Illustrated Rhymes.
Quito a stunt for an Impromptu
party of young people recently was
a contest which consisted in illustrat
ing Mother Goose rhymes. They
seemed to enjoy the fun mightily and
it certainly took little time or trouble
to get it up.
Verses from the celebrated rhymes
were written on large pieces of card
board and they were passed with pen
cils.
Each boy or girl drew a picture to
ilustrate the rhyme he or she held and
the prizes were announced as being In
waiting for the best.
Twenty minutes were allowed for
thinking up the picture and drawing
it. The first prize was a nicely Illus
trated book and the second a plaster
of paris goose filled with bonbons.
Maxim Predicts Aerial War.
That the young men who are now
experimenting In aeronautics are the
ones who will save the country In the
next great war is the declaration of
Hudson Maxim.
"We are practically defenseless and
the arrival of an aerial fleet will prove
our salvation," he says. "Every hill
top In this country should be crown
ed with an aerial battery and a land
ing platform, and on every mountain
peak there should be an aeroplane sta
tioned, ready for flight, for there can
be no doubt about It, the outcome of
the next great war will depend upon
the superiority of air crafts." j
Eliminate Capital Punishment.
The antique custom of capital pun
isbment is a blot on the present judicial
courts of civilized nations, inherited
from anoient laws, for the administra
tion of justice. With the present dila
tory legal method of inflicting punish
ment to murderers, accompanied by
the unwillingness of an ordinary
I human being to extinguish the life oi
another human being, at times justice
is made impossible rather than accom
plished by these crude methods, a relic
of past ages and not intended for the
present day of civilization. Often
Capital punishment seems nothing
short of lawful judicial murder as it
often becomes when the lives of in
j nocent people are sacrificed through
| the miscarriage of jusice. A western
j legislature has recently proposed a law
j to abolish capital punishment in their
state, inserting life imprisonment in
stead of death for capital misdemean
ors, which will advance the progress
I of civilization to an unexampled de
i gree. Life imprisonment not only
j punishes the criminal to the full e»
j tent and protects the public, but af
. fords a possible chance of reformation
and provides for the possible danger
of a misplacing of justice. Through
the passage of this bill and its influ
ence in neighboring states will prove
a great aid to the gradual abolishment
of this hideous death penalty.

Lewis Leutze Injured.
Lewis Leutze, of this place, met with
a most painful accident at the saw mill
ol C. B Howard Company, on Wednes
day, right after the noon hour, which
resulted in a broken right arm and
receiving severe body bruises. Mr.
Leutze was engaged in putting on a
belt, when his sleeve caught in the
pnlly and he was whirled around the
shaft several times. Most of the cloth
ing was torn from his body. Dr. H. S.
Falk was hastily summoned and dress
ed the injuries. Later he was removed
to the home of his uncle, Mr. Bennett
Lentze, on Second street, where he is
being cared for. It certainly was a
miraculous escape and Lewis can in
deed consider himself lucky. While
his injuries are very painful he is rest
ing as well as can be expected after
f=uch an experience. His many friende
hope that he will soon be around again.
