Hunger and Thirst.
While many men of science hare
contended that the sensation of hunger
has its seat in the stomach and that of
thirst i» the throat, the Italian Valenti
holds the view that the seat of both
sensations is situated in the gullet. He
found that a cocaine injection in the
esophagus (the channel from the mouth
to the stomach) resulted in Immediate
suppression of the sensations of both
hunger and thirst.
Savages have long known that the
chewing of coca leaves renders the
pullet insensitive and destroys any de

Old Zeb White
He Tails Hew Ha Carer Wu Cut Short
By M. QUAD
Copyright, 1915, by the McClure
Newspaper Syndicate.
"Thar was a time In my life when I
thought I owned this hull stait of Ten
nessee and was the biggest man in it,"
said old Zeb White as he was ia a
story telling mood one evening "That
was a good many y'rs ago and jest
befo' I got married, and perhaps it
was a powerful good thing that sun
thin' happened to me when it did." i
I asked the old wan a question in
tended to draw him out, and after a
bit he continued:
"Waal, when I was a young man I
hadn't no sense in my head. I jest
reckoned that the critter who could
wrestle and jump and fight and yell
was a smarter man than the governor.
When I was twenty-three years old
thar wasn't nuthin' human in this
yere Cumberland mount'in which could
stand up to me. One day I fell in
love, but that didn't settle me down
any. Mebbe I was even wuss arter
that. 1 wanted to show off to the gal,
yo' know, and so I continered my mad
career."
"The girl is the present Mrs. White,
I take it?" I said as he waited to till
bis pipe anew.
"Jest so. Bah," he answered, "and she
had mo' hoss sense in her leetle finger
than I had in my hull body. She
knowed I was making a fule o' my
self. and she knowed It would take
strong medicine to cure me. She
didn't say much one way or t'other,
but jest waited till the sign cum right.
One day she went down to Spottsville,
and when she cum home she sez to me,
eez she:
" 'Zeb, thar's gwine to be a circus
down at Spottsville tomorfer, and I
reckon I'd'like to go. Will yo' promise
to behave yo'rself?'
" 'As to how?' I asks.
" 'As to raisin' a fuss.'
" 'lf nobody' steps on my heels thar
won't be any fuss.'
"We made all our plans for an early
start the next day.
"She didn't say no mo' till we wus
on the road next forenoon, and then
she suddenly turns on me with:
" 'Hev yo' ever been licked since yo'
becum a fighter?'
" 'Never, and thai* ain't a thing as
stands o» legs as kin do it'
" 'I wJnt to ask a great favor of yo',
Zeb,' she sez as we walks along.
Thar's gwine to be an elephant at that
circus.'
" 'And what of it?'
" 'Nothin', I hope, but bein' he's big
ger'n yo' are I didn't know but yo'd git
mad and tackle him. Don't do it, Zeb.
Don't do it, fur my sake.'
"If she hadn't spoken as she did I'd
never thought of tacklin' the critter,"
said Zeb as he softly rubbed his knee,
"but them words sorter stirred me up,
and I begun to git mad. We didn't say
nuthin' mo' till we got to town, though
I was doin' a heap o' thinkin'. We
seen the elephatit a-walkin' along the
street with the purceshun, and my wife
sez to me, sez she:
" 'Zeb. he don't look to be very hefty
on the jump, and he can't wrassle, but
he 'pears to be an awful fighter.'
" 'Shoo,' sez I, 'but I don't reckon he
kin fight fur shucks.'
"Bimeby the parade was over and we
went into the circus. I'd kept gittin'
madder and madder all the time, and
now I was ready to bust. The elephant
was chained up In the middle of the
tent, and I walked around him and
felt dangerous. The missus was watch
in' me and purty soon she sez:
" 'Zeb. he's as big as a hill, ain't heT
" 'Mebbe he are.' sez I, 'but that's got
nuthin' to do with it The bigness of
a mam don't count fur much in a fout.
I jest consider to reckon I kin make
that critter beller fur mercy in about
two mlnlts!'
" 'But yo' won't try It? To' are the
awfulest fightin' man on the face of
this alrth. but yo' won't tackle a critter
like that.'
"If she'd kept quiet mebbe my mad
ness would a gone off. but her words
hurt me. and all of a sudden I peels off
my coat and whoops a whoop. I was
usln' both fists on his head when he
winds that trunk around my body and
lifts me off my feet and begins to play
with tne. He slams me on the ground
and agin cages and wagons, and when
he finally lets go they picks me up
and carries nie out fur a dead man.
"That critter broke purty nigh all
the bones in my body, and I'm feelln'
the effects to this day. It was two
weeks arter the fuss befo' I .got things
straight in my mind. I kept thinkin'
•II the time that this yere Cumberland
range had slid down on me. One
mawnin' I axed the ole woman how it
was, and she sorter laughed and said:
" 'I jest led yo' up to it, Zeb. kase I
wanted to see yo' git some sense in yo'p
head. I knowed yo'd git whopped, but
I reckoned thar'd be nuff of yo' left to
build up ag'in. Yo' ar' the whopped
est, lickedest man in all this world,
and 'tain't no use to fool around no
mo'. When yo' git up jest let the fight-
In' bizness alone and 'tend to the co'n
ind horses.'"
"And did that adventure effect a
«ure?" I asked.
"The biggest kind, sah," he replied.
"When I got outdoahs ag'ln I wasn't
eatin' grass for anybody, but I jest
quit yellln' and steppin' high and look
in' fur a fuss, and 1 hain't had a fout
since. No man likes to be whopped,
but I'm tellin' yo' that when a man
gits so puffed up that he thinks nuthin'
on the face of this earth kin down him
it can't help but do him good to run
np agin an elephant who's bin feelln'
mad for a week."

the beautiful streets of [Harriaburg and
its parks and added with telling effect
that the women do not vote in Harris
burg.
Mrs. Fuller said that the women
could not be expected to do in the few
years they have been voting the things
that the men have not been able to M
complish in a hundred years.
One Vote Just as Wall
"It is absurd to make two vota
where one lias been able to vote intel
ligently before," said Mrs. Oliphaat,
while Mrs. Fuller insisted that the
workingmen needed the vote of the
workingwomen to carry his ease at the
polls.
Mrs. Oli pliant, who appeared first,
asked for a chance at rebuttal tout the
opportunity was refused because it was
lioiped that the two speeches would not
appear in the nature of a debate, yet
tihe remarks of Mrs. Fuller 4i<i oppose
as far as possible that of her prede
cessor. Both speakers were roundly
cheered. After The meeting suffrage
literature was passed out at the door.

COAL AT PANAMA.
Mammoth Storage Plants Plinned For
the Canal Route. »
Coal storing plants of mammoth mag
nitude are being planned on the Pan
ama canal route. One of the storage
plants is to be situated at Cristobal
and another at Balboa.
It Is planned to bave a coal storage
basin at Cristobal with a capacity of
200,000 tons and one at Balboa with a
capacity of 180,000 tons. In each placa
the storage will bo within a large basin
made of re-enforced concrete, in which
approximately half of the coal will be
stored under water for use In time of
war and the other half above watar to
be added to and taken from continually
for the ordinary u#e * of commercial
and government vessels.
It also is planned If the policy should
be approved to be able to lease parts of
the storage basin to such private coal
ing companies as may wish to maintain
their own coal stores on the isthmus,
but in such cases all of the handling
will be done by the government plant,
a suitable charge being made for tha
service.- New York Press.
Calling on Wilson.
The average person who calls on tha
president is in no hurry to leave, and
the less important his errand the longer
he takes to explain It. President Wil
son listens patiently, although perhaps
with little enjoyment; then he gets up
and move's toward the door, and It
must be a very obtuse person who can
not take the hint, and if something
more thau a hint is needed then tha
president shakes hands with him, but
It Is done graciously and in a way that
is flattering to the person who without
knowing It Is being dismissed.—New
York Telegram.
