Joke on the Doctor.
The physicians in Mankato had
agreed that during their Chautauqua
assembly they would employ a call
boy, and each was to pay his share
of the expense. This boy was to call
any doctor who was wanted, without
disturbing the speaker, as it was em
barrassing to him and looked as if
they were doing it to advertise with
out expense. So It all went well un
til the afternoon when Stcickland W.
Gilliland spoke. As he was talking
away a certain doctor had a call from
the platform, and he walked out rath
er ostentatiously. Some of the peo
ple who knew of the arrangement
laughed or snickered, and the speaker
got it. He said: "Don't laugh, folks.
That Is the way my brother got his
start." And everybody roared.
Archie Finds a Sacrilege.
The last time President Taft was in
Chicago he was invited to the inevit

his secretary, Mr. Hilles, and his mili

the course of the dinner the Chicago
men sang a parody of Dixie.
Butt, who is from Georgia, had his
whole evening spoiled right there.
Somebody, noticing his pained expres

"Oh, that song!" he exclaimed, sad

Coffee probably causes more bilious
ness and so-called malaria than any
one other thing—even bad climate.
(Tea is just as harmful as coffee be
cause it contains caffeine, the drug in
coffee).
A Ft. Worth man says:
"I have always been of a bilious tem
perament, subject to malaria and up
to on# year ago a perfect slave to cof
fee. At Jtnes I w be covered with
boils and tvM of \rial poison, was
very nervous and had swimming in

"I don't knt.w how It happened, but

stopped coffee and began drinking

"From that time I have not had a
boil, not had malaria at all, have

to the use of Postum In place of cof

WORKING OUT A
FARMINGCOURSE
Dr. Schaeffer Asks For Some
Experts' Suggestions.
WILL BE READY VERY SOON
Steady Supply of Teachers Will be
Available Hereafter—News of tho
Day Found in Departments of
the State Capitol.
(Special Harrisburg Correspondence.)
Harrisburg.—Dr. Nathan C. Schaef
fer, State Superintendent of Public In
struction, has taken up most actively
the work of outlining a course in agri
culture for the rural schools of the
State and before long tentative cours
es will probably be ready for consider
ation. Dr. Schaeffer, who has given
much attention to thiß line of study
and recommended it to local district
boards In addresses and in his reports,
has the assistance of Professor L. H.
Dennis, the agricultural education ex
pert of his department, who has made
a complete tour of the State and ob
served conditions.
In addition Dr. Schaeffer has writ
ten to a number of persons who have
been identified with farming all of
their lives, asking for suggestions
from their experience and observation.
It is expected that these suggestions
will be of much value in outlining the
course.
The fact that agriculture has been
embodied in the course of State nor
mal schools for several years will
probably give the educational system
the services of some hundreds of
teachers qualified iu that branch this
fall. Next year the course is to be re
quired in such schools so that a steady
supply of teachers will be available
hereafter.
Interesting Coincidence.
A singular coincidence in the com
ing action to test validity of the nomi
nation for Auditor General this year
is that three of the lawyers in the case
are former deputies to Attorneys Gen
eral of Pennsylvania. Lyman D. (Sil
bert was the seventh man to hold th*t
office, being named in 1873. James A.
Stranahan served under Pattison'#
second administration and Frederick
W. Fleitz served under Governors Pen
nypacker and Stuart.

is probable that names will be given
out. Nineteen are to be named, al
though all may not be named at once.

PITTSBURGH TO
UNDERGO PROBE
Council Votes to Put Judge at
Head of Investigation.
EMPLOY STONE AS COUNSEL
E. V. Babcock, a Millionaire Member
of the Council, Volunteered to Pay
the Expense of an Attorney
to Take Charge of Case.
Pittsburgh.—City Council by resolu
tion decided to consider the charges
made against Directors John M. Mor
in, of the Department of Public Safe
ty; Joseph G. Armstrong, of the De
partment of Public Works, and Dr. E.
R. Waiters, of the Department of Pub
lic Health, charged a few days ago
with malfeasance in office, neglect of
duties and of managing their depart
ments in the interests of themselves
and political friends.
The resolution was prepared by Con
troller Morrow, who Is clerk of the
Finance Committee of Council, under
instructions of that committee. The
resolution recites that charges of mal
feasance and maladministration had
been filed against the Directors and
that it was the sentiment of Council
that those charges should be investi
gated by Council. It provides that no
tice and a copy of the charges shall
be served on each of the Directors and
that the investigation should begin at
a time designated by Council. The re>
solution also provides (hat Judge Rob
ert S. Frazer, presiding Judge of the
Courts of Allegheny county, or 6ome
other, Judge designated by him, shall
be the presiding Judge at the investi
gation and pass on the law and ad
missibility of the evidence.
A resolution was alsf passed by
Council authorizing the employment
of ex-Governor W. A. Stone as counsel
for Council,- to advise that body as to
the proper mode of procedure and as
to the adequacy of the charges filed
against the department heads by the
Voters' League.
E. V. Babcock, a millionaire member
of Council, during the discussion of
the resolution ordering impeachment
proceedings, declared that if the city
cannot afford to pay the expense of an
attorney to take charge of the case
for the city fathers he would be glad
and willing to do so.
Appeal Low Coal Assessment.
Sunbury.—Residents of Zerbe town
ship, Northumberland county, appeal
ed to Court against the reduction of
coal land assessments, which the tax
payers assert grossly favor the I'hila
depliia & Heading Coal and iron Com
pany and Lehigh Valley Coal Company.
In 1900 the land in question was as
sessed at $1,500,000, now it is put be
low $1,000,000. By way of comparison
the Pennsylvania Company pays taxes
at an assessed valuation of SIOOO per
acre in Luzerne county, SISOO per acre
in Lackawanna county, while in North
umberland the valuation is based at
the rate of $l5O per acre. Unless the
assessment is raised the taxpayers say
they will carry the case into the Su
preme Court.
Miners Have Vanished.
Wilkes-Barre.—Anthracite coal op
erators are startled by a mysterious
exodus of miners which has prevented
a resumption of work in the Schuylkill
region. It is over a week since the an
thracite mine suspension was lifted,
yet there have reported hardly enough
hands at any of the collieries to keep
them going. Outside men have report
ed in sufficient numbers to keep the
work moving rapidly enough, but they
ciin not be kept busy because of the
few coal eutters who have returned to
work. The mine officials have infor
mation that thousands of their miners
have gone to Canada, anticipating a
whole summer of idleness here. It is
said, that 5000 more have gone into th»
Pittsburgh district.
Murderous Ax Saves Her.
Scranton. —Pursued by her husband,
who had threatened her life with an
ax, Mrs. John O'Hara, North Scranton,
hurdled a fence in the back yard but
she came to a full stop when her flow
ing hair caught in a nail on the top
board. O'Hara made a vicious swing
with the ax, but the blow fell short
and severed the woman's tresses ae
clean as if done with a barber's scis
sors, and she escaped. After the at
tack O'Hara fled to the mountains.
Many Properties Destroyed.
New Germantown. —During the past
forty years a great deal of property in
Tobayne township has been destroyed
by fire. By actual count the fallowing
buildings have burned: 17 dwelling
houses, 21 barns, 1 grist mill, 4 saw

Physicians Recommend Castoria
C ASTORIA has met witli pronounced favor on the part of physicians* pharma
ceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with
results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably tho
result of three facts: Fim—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless:
Second —That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimi
lates the food: Third—lt is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil.
It is absolutely safe/ It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotio
and does not stupefy. „ It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's
Cordial, eto. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how
ever, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. % The day
for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To
our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by
regulating the system—not by Btupefying it—and our readers are entitled to]
the information. — Sail's Journal of Health,
