A JOCULAR MONARCH.
Ivan the Terrible Had Cold Blooded
Notions About Jesting.
Ivan the Terrible forgot neither his
devotions nor his diversions. His pal-
ace alternately resounded with pray-
ing and carousing. He had a company
of Jesters whose duty it was to divert
him especially Itefore and after any
executions but they often paid dearly
for an unseasonable joke.
Among these none was more distin-
guished than Prince Gvosdef who held
a high rank at court
The czar being one day dissatisfied
with a jest poured over the prince's
bead the boiling contents of a soup
basin. The agonized wretch prepared
to retreat from the tattle but the ty-
rant struck him with a knife and he
fell senseless to the floor. Dr. Arnolph
was Instantly called.
“Save my good servant!" cried the
czar. “I have jested with him a little
too hard."
“So hard" replied the other “that
only God and your majesty can restore
him to life. He no longer breathes."
Ivan expressed his contempt called
the deceased favorite a dog and con-
tinued his amusements.
Another day while he sat at table
the wnywode of Staritza Boris Titof
uppeared bowed to the ground and
saluted him ufter the customary man-
ner.
"God save thee my dear wa.vwode.
Thou deservest a proof of my favor."
lie seized a knife and cut off an ear. j
Titof thanked the czar for his gracious
favor aud wished him a happy reign.—

■■ 11 “
Rules That Used to Ba In Force Half a
Century Ago.
A curious relic of railroad operation
pome fifty years ago in Tennessee aud
Georgia is exhibited in the following
extracts from the rules then in force:
Euch enginemui) will keep a watch j
which must lie regulated by the time of
his conductor at the commencement of
euch trip and will always have in His
possession the current schedule book.
Should any stock be killed which
may be likely to endanger the safety
of the next train passing the engine-
man will stop his train until truck is
cleared.
As a general rule when trains meet
between stations the train nearest the
turnout will run back. Any dispute
as to which train has to retire is to be !
determined Mt once by the conductors
without any interference on the part
of the enginemen. This rule is re-
quired to be varied in favor of heaviest
loaded engine or the worst grades. If
they meet near the center. In case of
backing a man must be placed on the
lookout so that any danger to the rear-
most part of the train may be seen and
the engineman at once receive notice
The hncklng must be donn cautiously.—

It Was Changeable.
One of the large Kansas City stores
owes its success in a great measure to
Its policy of exchanging goods if re
turned In a salable condition. An ex-
ception is made when dress materials
have been cut from the bolt. One day
recently a customer purchased ten
yards of a two toned silk which the
clerk assured her was the most fash
tunable fabric of the season. When
she readied home with her purchase
she decided on reflection that a wool-
en material would be more serviceable. |
Accordingly she returned to the store j
the next day and requested the ex- j
change. The clerk explained that it
was an lin|>oKsibllBy us the goods had
been cut
"Why I bought this with the dis !
tirict understanding” remonstrated the
woman “thut I could return it. Did
yen not tell me it was u changeable

1 .'liistler’s disregard for time was
p" Ie t. Here is au Instance given by
Nil T. It. Way lu his “Memories of
Jan es McNeill Whistler:” “At one of
Id- Sunday morning breakfasts which
were so famous a party of ladles aud

with tlie arranged intention of making

i" MONEY NO ONE CLAIMS.
British Banks Have Millions That
Owners Never Call For.
Twenty millions of unclaimed money
ire In the coffers of British banks—
derelict gold which nobody owns and
which the banks are naturally pleased
to take care of—gold more than suffi-
cient to pave every square foot of
Cheapside with sovereigns.
Some years ago when Mr. Goschcn’g
conversion scheme was in the air it
was found that the Bank of England
alone bad nearly 11000 of these dor-
mant accounts. Forty of them had
more than $50000 apiece to their cred-
it. One balance was written in six
figures—$907900. The total at the bot-
tom of tlie long list was $39248875.
This amount was very largely made
up of unclaimed dividends on govern-
ment stock.
For seven j-vars the bankers keep
the accounts open prepared to pay
over the balance to any who can prove
title to it This term expired they re-
gard the forgotten gold as their own.
Five million dollars of such ownerless
money went to build London’s splen-
did law courts. The city it la said
has more than one magnificent bank
building ream! from the same handy
material. The Bank of England oue
learns provides pensions for clerks’
widows out of such a fund.
But whatever becomes of It these
millions of “mystery gold” are always
growing fed by man’s carelessness or
forgetting their secrets hidden away
lu thousands of musty bauk ledgers.—
Loudon Tit-Bits.
A BONE IN THE THROAT.
Lemon Juice It Is Said Will Quickly
Melt It Away.
Sitting at a planked shad dinner a
laughing guest drew a bone into his
throat and he began to strangle. Some
one suggested that the sufferer swal-
low a fragment of dry bread.
“Gh no!” exclaimed one man. “Don’t
give him bread. It might catch the
bone and it might not Give him
something that is sure to give relief.”
Beckoning to a waiter he said “Bring
me a lemon cut in two.” And it was
brought without delay. Taking one
section he offered it to the choking
guest and told him to suck the juice
and to swallow it slowly. Directions
were faithfully followed and in about
a quarter of a minute the affficted oue
placed the half lemon on his plate
looked into the anxious faces around
the table and smiled.
“Well Joe” said one “how aboutit?”
“It’s gone” was the reply. “The
bone has slipped down.”
“Not exactly that” said the man who
suggested it “The bone slipped down
all right but it was melted first by the
citric acid. I never knew it to fail to
dissolve a fishbone. You can test the
power of lemon juice by dropping some
on the fishbones you may have lying
on your plate.”
Several diners made the experiment
In each case the acid reduced the bone
to liquid gelatin.—New York

Diplomatic.
An American official was once tLi
guest of Li Hung Chang in China
when there was a great demonstration
lu honor of the rain god. Noises stri-
dent and fearful in the ears of the
foreigners came from Instruments and
humau throats.
The keen old Chinese statesman
conscious of the effect that this was
probably producing upon the Ameri
cnn spectator turned to him and said.
“This seems strange and useless to
you?"
The American striving to be polite
without too great a sacrifice of truth
made an evasive answer.
“You never pray for rain In your
countryT' pressed the Chinese states-
man.
“Oh. yes we do."
“And you always get it?"
“No.”
“Just the same as In China" the old
man remarked complacently.
Mast Tree*.
In the provincial charter of 1691 un-
der which the Plymouth colony and the
province of Maine were united with
Massachusetts It was provided that all
trees of the diameter of twenty-four
inches and upward twelve Inches from
the ground growing upon laud not
heretofore granted to any private per-
son should l*e reserved to the crown
for the furnishing of masts for the roy-
al uavy. A surveyor general of woods
was appoint I'd to see that this provi-
sion of the charter was carried into ef-
fect. Near the const all white pines of
suitable dimensions were marked with
the “broad arrow”—three cuts through
the bark with an ax like the track of
a crow. This was the king's mark.
Long after the Revolution had obliter-
ated the royal authority men who had
been taught in boyhood to respect the
king'? oyark hesitated to cut such trees

WHO BUYS ELECTRICITY
Over Two Hundred Different Indus-
trie* on the List.
A neophyte in the electrical busi-
ness recently asked the question:
“Who buys electrical machinery?”
jThe answer ha.; been accumulating
ever since. He found out that the
new Chinese Republic is printing up
1 s new money one 6ide in Chines
and the other in English with elec-
tric motors. He discovered that $12-
217.OG were epent with one electri-
cal company alone by corset manu-
facturers in a period of six months.
;ile started through the aiaphabet and
found arsenals asphalt machinery
and automobiles on the list of users
of electricity. A systematic classifi-
'cation revealed the fact that over
two hundred industries of widely di-
verse character all use electrical ma-
chinery.
The spread of the use of this in-
visible agent is one of the marvels
of modern times. Ii is the universal
I
servant. It is used in textile mills
and thus serves to clothe man. It i.-
used in printing offices and thus
serves to educate him. It is used for
ilighting and thus enables him to read
bis books tl is used for transpor-
tation and even if man prefers to
walk it again volunteers its assist-
ance since it is used in the manu-
jfacture of boots and shoes. It cooks
|for him and offers him additional
dainties since it drives the machin-
ery in candy factories and bakeries.
It cleans his house by helping in
the manufacture of brooms. It as-
suages his thirst by its activities in
bottling works and breweries. It en-
ables him to smoke since it is uset
in the manufacture of brier pipes
tobacco and cigarettes. It enables him
to fight by the making of cartridges
and gun powder. It heats him in win-
ter by its activities in coal mines.
It cools him in summer by manufac-
turing ice. It enables him to trade
since it is used in coining as well
as for the printing of paper money.
It fills his ‘teeth in dental parloi
It helps him correspond since type-
writers and enevelopes are manufac-
tured by electric driven machinery. It
bedecks him with gems since jewel-
ers use it. It washes his clothes as
every up-to-date laundry now uses
electric drive for its machinery. It
makes music for him and sews for
him and provides for his cleanlines-
by the manufacture of soap. It fur-
nishes his home by furnishing power
for the making of furniture and wall
paper. It binds his books washes his
dishes sorts his seeds make his mat-
ches manufactures his eye-glasse
mixes his paint and does such a mul-
titude of other 'things that it would
require many columns to merely men-
tion them all

SHAM BATTLE BETWEE
AIRSHIP AND GUNBOAT
Sensational Feature of St. Louis Fall
Festivities on Program for Today*
Standing Room for Half a Million.
Special to The Herald.
St. Louis Oc t.8.—A sham battle
[between a Wright hydroaeroplane pi-
loted by Aviator Kabitzke instructor
of United States army officers and
the Isla de Luzon & former Span
gunboat captured by Uncle £>am in
the Spanish-American War and now
used a9 the gunboat of 'the Missouri
Naval Reserves is announced by
Robert E. Nolker President of Aero
Club of St. Louis as one of the fea-
tures of the aviation tomorrow and
Thursday (October 9 and 10) over
the Mississippi river in connection
with the St. louis Fall Festivities of
October 7 to 2 nclusive.
Bombs will be dropped from the
hydroaeroplane at various altitudes
ranging upward from 1000 feet and
the gunners on the Isla de Luzon will
respond by aiming at the enemy in
the air and firing blank shells. This
will be the first practical demonstra-
tion in the middle west of the effec-
tiveness of aircraft in warfare.
The arrangements for the sham
ba'ttle were made jointly by Albert
Bond Lambert chairman of the com-
mittee on arrangements of the Aero
Club of St. Louis and Commander W.
F. Roberts of the Isla de Luzon.
The battle will be fought at the
noon hour for -the convenience
many thousands of St. Louisans who
otherwise could not view it. The bat-
tle may be watched from Eads Bridge
and from the levees on both sides of
the river as well as from the roofs
of some of the St. Louis skyscrap-
ers. There will be no seats but stand-
ing room for a half million persons.
Fancy flights over the Eads Mer-
chants and Free bridges will be made
morning noon and afternoon of Wed-
nesday and Thursday according to
the aero club officials.
Mayor Kreismann has donated the
use of the boat Erast us Wells for
the accommodation of local and vis-
iting newspaper men and members of
the Aero Club. Badges of admission
to the boat are being issued by Wil-
liam A. Brady secretary and treas-
urer of the Aero Club.
The other free attractions of the
St. Louis fall festivities will include
the thirty-fifth annual pageant of the
Veiled Prophet Tuesday night (Oct.
5) with its 21 magnificent floats and
1G bands of music. This pageant with
the ball 'that is its climax represents
an expenditure of 150000. The theme
of the pageant will be "Songs Poems
and Plays." A brass band will pre-
cede each musical float and play the
music suggesting the float’s subject.
Columbus Day October 12 will be
celebrated at Art Hill in Forest Park
under the auspices of the Knights of
Columbus with addresses by Gover-
nor Hadley of Missouri Mayor
Kreisman of St Louis and other no-
tables. Governor Woodrow* Wilson of
New Jersey Democratic nominee for
president of the United States will
deliver a political speech Wednesday
night at the Coliseum where admis-
sion w’ill be free to all. The first
showing of 1913 automobiles in Am-
erica will be at Forest Park High-
lands St. Louis October 7 to 12 in-
clusive.

PLATFORM
Of *he Indep^dent Party 0ji Cam-
eron County.
We the undersigned candidates
of the Independent party of Cameron
county nominated at the county
convention of this county at the
time and in the manner prescribed
by law believing in a government
“of the people for the people and
by the people” free from the control
or domination of political bosses or
corrupt influences believing that
the hour has arrived in the develop-
ment of our county when the intelli-
gent responsible incorruptible ele-
iuen should control in the manage-
ment of our county affairs respect-
fully submit arid pledge ourselves
if elected to carry out the following
platform:
1— We owe no allegiance and
acknowledge no favors to any man
set of men or political party and
are unalterably opposed to machine
politics.
2— We favor the strictest economy
consistent with business manage-
ment of our county affairs
3— We favor the impartial and
speedy administration of justice to
all classes.
4— We believe that our local
peace officers should be sufficient to
maintain law and order in this coun-
ty without the interference or as-
sistance of state rangers and believe
that the appointment by our sheriff
of fewer and more responsible and
reputable deputies would bring
about that end.
5— We favor a regular auditing of
the books and accounts of the var-
ious officials of this county and the
demanding of a strict accounting of
all matters entrusted to their care.
6— We favor the honest and com-
petent administration of our public
schools realizing that the schools
are the main factors in the develop-
ment of an intelligent citizenship.
7— We favor the equitable assess-
ment of property for taxation.
■8—We do not favor perpetuities
in office believing that the people
are best served by frequent changes
in public officials.
9— We pledge ourselves if elec-
ted to see that those county officials
whose duty it is to do so shall en-
deavor to bring justice to murderers
and other criminals and not en-
deavor to protect 'them for political
reasons-
10— We believe in the sacred ness
of an oath of office and that every
official of the county is rightfully a
servant of the whole people not a
partisan of any faction clique or
political party.
11— We believe that politics
Bhould have no influence in the man-
agement of our county affairs and
ask the support of all intelligent cit-
izens of Comeron county.
