PAGE EIGHT. THR RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND S UX-TELEGIl AM, SATURDAY JANUARY 13, 1912. I i III UHDERCLOTHES OHLY HE ARRIVED 'Tramp Causes a Sensation at Local Station His Clothing Burned. Averring that because he slept too Hear a camp fire along the C. t O. rail road tracks, south of the city, last ev ening, his clothes and shoes were burned, a tramp, who refused to give .bis name appeared at the south side C. ft O. passenger station early this morning, wearing nothing but his un dergarments. Quite a sensation was created by the tramp among the per sons who were awaiting trains and the trainmen, in the station. The tramp was nearly froten and It was some time before be was suffici ently "thawed" to speak. He said that be with several other "bums" went to sleep along the railroad tracks and that they built several camp fires around them. When be woke up this morning the others had left and his clothes had burned. It was with ex treme suffering that he managed to walk to the station, he declared. Wanted No Medicine. Asked if he needed medical atten tion the man answered in the negative, aylng that he would soon "thaw" out and If he could secure some clothes be would be all right. The matter was reported to th po lice by the ticket agent and Patrol Driven Wenger went to the station with the ambulance. The tramp heard the telephone message and he plead ed with trainmen to give him some old clothes. After a search two pairs of old overalls, a heavy winter coat and a Jmlr of shoes were found. The man hur riedly dressed and when the ambu lance arrived at the station the "tran sient" was "beating" bis way south on the railroad tracks. Some persons at the station were' Inclined to disbelieve the man's story, they asserting that it was a scheme to obtain better clothes, but others de clared that no sane person would at tempt to disrobe in the open when the mercury stood at 23 below the zero mark and take the risk of securing better clothing.

Of course al lowance Is made for makeup, but when they see us off the stage at close range, they need another explanation. How strange women generally have n't learned the secret of keeping the face young! How simple a matter to Set an ounce of mercollzed wax at the drag store, apply it like cold cream, and in the morning wash it off! We know how this gradually, imper ceptibly absorbs old cuticle, keeping the complexion new and fresh, free from fine lines, sallowness or over redness. We know, too. that this mer coll sad wax Is the reason actresses don't wear moth patches, liver spots, pimples and the like.

"I tried various blood medicines and other remedies and salves for nearly three years and I was not getting any benefit. It seemed I was in eternal misery and could not sleep on my back or lean back on a chair. I waa finally given a set of the Cuticura Rem edies by my brother who recommended them to me very highly. I started using tho Cuticura Remedies and inside of two weeks I could see and feel a great relief. I kept on using Cuticura Hoap, Ointment and also the Resolvent, and in about three or four months' time my back was nearly cured and I felt like a new being.

If only wishing would bring the dough. But you bet it won't." Did you ever think what it is that causes the close, ill smelling atmos phere of some hotel bedrooms? A man who travels for laundry supplies and has made a study of this condition. Bays it is caused by poor washing and the use of cheap soap, which is not removed from the fabric in washing. Bed linens properly washed and rinsed always give out a pure wholesome odor, and wear much longer for being done properly. The two strongest factors that go toward showing to the world the good points of a city are the local newspa per and the traveling men who go out from that city, the latter being living, walking and talking advertisements of the home town which they repre sent. Three hundred of these live wires go out from Richmond every Monday morning and the good they do can never be properly estimated. I. N. Worth, General Agent for the International Harvester's Richmond Branch, was transferred from Indiana polis Council No. 4 to Quaker City No. 27 at the last meeting. There are more to follow soon. "Get inside the Order Brother; Let us take you by the hand. You will surely not regret it; We're the best in all the land." Charles L.

"Three Sheets In the Wind." "What was the origin of the phrase for drunkenness, 'three sh-ets in the wind?' " a landsman asked a sailor the other day. "Well," snid the sailor, "I'll explain that matter to you. The two lower oornwrs of a ship's sail are held tnut by two ropes, one called a tack and another called a sheet. The tack is always kept very tljrht. but the sheet is loosened according to the wind, and the looser the sheet is the more freely the sail swings. If the sail is quite free its sheet is said to be 'In the wind. Now. suppose that all three of a ship's sails were quite free. They would then fly about very rrazily, and the ship would wabble. The course of the ship would be a zig sng one, and the reason for this would be that she had 'three sheets in the wind.' That, 1 guess, is why a man when he zigzags In his course is said to be throe sheets in the wind' also." BUY DIAMONDS WOW HE DIAMOND STOP" A wiser investment cannot be made.

MM HORSES SHOULD BE BLANKETED THIS WEATHER Is the Humane Society Looking After the Welfare of Dumb Animals? Mr. George Conrad Writes of Colonel John F. Miller. BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. Where is the Humane Society? Richmond used to have one and maybe has one now but it isn't work ing overtime if it now exists. This is the time o' year when its officers should patrol round and see how many horses are left standing in the open, unblanketed and uncheck ed, while their owners warm their knees beneath the free lunch coun ter. Recently the hitching rack at the corner of Ninth and Main streets which had been there since the stone age, was removed. It is the corner passed by the writer any number of times each day and it was never passed with out seeing horses in all kinds of weather left without any regard for comfort. In cold weather only now and then would one be blanketed and then in a careless fashion as though the cov ering had been thrown on with a pitch fork and remained as it lighted. But one of the worst inflictions is the check. At noon a horse has been, seen tied to the rack, the check rein unloosen ed, and at ten o'clock at night this same horse has been seen standing in the same place in the same position. How would you like to have some thing rammed into your mouth, some thing else tied to the back of your head and the latter Jerked out of an gle to remain hours at a time in a forced and artificial position. The thing is an outrage and every one who passes a horse under these circumstances should loosen the rein no matter who or where or when. The truth is the check-rein should be abolished. And this time of year every citizen with a humanitarian impulse Bhould interest himself in the comfort of the horses, and indeed, the other dumb animals, whose owners neglect and abuse them. Cats, in instance. If a family owns a cat it should be fed by that family. If they aren't going to feed it, give it away or chloroform it. How many people are tormented with other people's cats prowling round their kitchen-steps, the .back porch and the garbage can. To say nothing of preying on the birds who haunt the single tree in the yard? "Lean and hungry" dogs, too, who become expert in landing choice mor sels from your scrap-heaps are known to every house-holder. If you can't feed a cat or dog, or don't intend to, then don't have such an appendage to your menage. Both dogs and cats, also, suffer much for water. A pan or receptacle of some sort, should be kept filled with fresh wa ter for them wherever they happen to live. Many persons who have pets, are un consciously cruel in this respect.

A pan set on your back walk for the birds to drink from and bathe In will be instantly seen and used. Nothing could be more charming than to see them drinking and bath ing, tilting their little heads and swal lowing the water like a connoisseur of wines. The statement so often seen and heard to the effect that the English sparrows drive the other birds away does not always hold good. Last sum mer, robins, English sparrows, red birds and blue-Jays were all seen bath ing and drinking together out of a pan the writer kept in her garden. And in winter a cardinal sociably lunched on bread-crumbs with the im pertinent little sparrow. When all the other birds desert us, by the way, the sparrow remains. You can hear Lis saucy chirp the coldest day in winter. If be is a rascal he is a friendly, amusing one. That is the reason, maybe, that . human rascals are so often engaging. The Humane Society, too, should not only look after the comfort and welfare of the "dumb brutes," but should bring the human brute to the bar. Not long ago one of these fiends was seen marching a little child a boy of five or six years in front of him the while he beat the latter with a huge stick. No offense that the child could have committed would have justified such treatment. The beating of children has been re ferred to here a time or two before. It I is a form of human fraility that is as ; wide-spread as it is idiotic and im ; moral. I It is generally the effect of your own i irritable and devilish temper rather than a cause from the child. Children, of course, must be discip lined. But beating and slapping and pinch ing and batting them round generally is a boomerang that reacts, in the end, on the person doing the beating. They create sullen, sly, deceitful and hypocritical children children who, if gone at the right way, might retain that sunny, open, frank and truthful charm which ij the fascination of all children before ruined by parental laxness or despotism. No-one but a brute will beat a child. A man who will walk along the i street beating his little boy with a stick isn't fit to own a child. The child should be taken away from him. He should be arrested and handcuff ed and walked to the bastile before a big policeman who hit him with a stick every other step. It's not only the brutality but the humiliation of the thing that kills the childish heart. Children are more sensitive to hu miliations than are grownups. The lat ter rarely think of this. They insult a child in a way in which they have J Cf Son. Philadelphia do comprehension. Or if they have, they Ignore. When you stop to think of it, the wonder is that more children, run through the mill, reach maturity with any charm or freshness left. When you see beautiful, lovable and adapta ble children gradually divested of all their beauty and lovableness, grow ing all warped and distorted and out of angle, from the ill-tempers and insane judgments of their elders, the entire annihilation of the human' machine seems the only logical course. If the town doesn't tufn out to hear the performance of the A born Eng lish Grand Opera company on Mon day evening at the Gennett, surely little need be expected of the local amusement purveyors. As stated here before, every good musical "attraction" that is classed as "musical" in contradistinction to "theatrical" brought here this sea son under the auspices of the manage ment of the Gennett, has lacked pat ronage from the public, those which play in the best houses and to the best audiences in the country. The Aborn performances are not those of the Metropolitan but they are musically and dramatically of a high standard and are commended by the most exacting critics. In addition they are given in Eng lish which adds to the interest of the lay music lover. Flotow's "Martha" is one of the stan dard operas.and of perennial populari ty, being dramatically full of action and melodic musically. It belongs, indeed, to that class of operatic music which has an appeal alike for the un instructed and the more sophisticated. As pointed out before this is the same company which played a week at English's in Indianapolis recently. Mr. George W. B. Conrad, of this city, has, in the February number of "The Railroad Man's Magazine," an interesting and well written sketch of Mr. John F. Miller, one of the best known railroad men in the country now retired. Mr. Conrad, whose article is called "From Shack to President," presents his subject with brevity and clarity of expression, invests it with vivacity and puts into its story much comprehen sive detail relative to Mr. Miller and his resident city, tracing the career of Mr. Miller from his beginning as a brakeman to the vice presidency of one of the Pennsylvania lines. "The birth of a man is usually the most humble fact in his life," says Mr. Conrad. "He comes into the world without herald or trumpet.

CHINESE INGENUITY. How On Cev Was Made te Pit a Roomful of Sleepers. A writer in a French magazine tells a curious story about how they man age cheap lodging houses in China. Along Chinese roads, it seems, there are many of these lodging houses, where the charge for a night's lodg ing is considerably less than 1 cent. All the bedding provided is one huge mass of feathers. Into which all the guests burrow. Formerly they used to get blankets, bnt some time ago those who ran these primitive inns learned that their losses on account of the theft of blankets by guests were far too large. Something, they decided, had to be done. Finally an Ingenious man among them hit on this: Over the feather filled room of his ! lodging house bo bung an enormous j canvas covering. In the daytime It hunsr near the celling. At night it was lowered by means of pulleys until it covered the entire mass of feathers and all those sleeping thereon, thus taking the place of individual blankets. This huge canvas was provided with a large number of small slits through which the guests might stick their heads nd escape suffocation beneath the immense covering. Early each morning the loud pound ing of a drum served to waken the sleepers and warn them to get their heads out of the slits, in the canvas. Thereupon it was raised again to the ceiling and fastened there to await the next batch of sleepers. MAN'S WEAKNESS, It is because men are prone to be partial toward those they love, un just toward those they hate, servile toward those above them, arrogant to those below them and either harsh or overindulgent to those in poverty and distress that it is so difficult to find any one capable of exercising a sound judgment with re spect to the qualities of others.
