Stir it up well with your hands, being careful to break all the lumps; leave it set (or a few minutes; then get a few yards of cheesecloth and tear it in pieces and strain the mixture through the cloth into anotUir vessel, wring the sawdust dry and throw it away. The remains will be Lhal ugx uswhohs mixed; next take the same amount of water as you used of uswhohs and pour it in; leave the whole set for a few minutes.” It is the “soup” of yeggmen, whose particular business is robbing safes. A crude cipher runs through the riga marole —merely a subdivision of the alphabet and the substitution of one letter for another. The first six let ters beginning with A are substituted for the last six beginning with U, and so on, with the single exception that N is taken out of its turn and made the equivalent of G, an Irregularity in tended to protect the cipher from de tection. But no cipher is proof against expert analysis; certainly not this one, which, though still used by “yeggs,” nevertheless is known to the Blind Man Tells of Baseball Game IMAGINE, If you can, one who has never seen the light of day, sitting in his accustomed place in the grand stand rooting with all his eenrgy for the success of the home team, and you can easily figure out just why Wash ington always supports a ball team, although her ball tossers have not fin ished in the first division during the last decade. Eugene Brewerton, familiarly known to his friends as “Jack,” has perhaps as wide acquaintance among the pa trons of the national game at the cap ital as "Gabby” Street or Walter John son, and is unquestionably the most unique rooter who ever patronized the sport. “Jack” was born In Columbus, S. C., 24 years ago, and after receiv ing a public school education matricu lated at the University of South Caro lina. He came to Washington a few years ago to study law at the George town University, and it is his ambi tion to become as famous a lawyer as the blind senator from Oklahoma, Thomas Pryor Gore. But “Jack” does not believe In giv- Attempt to Stop Infantile Paralysis TROUBLED by the inroads the dis ease is making in some of the eastern states at the present time, the government has ordered an inves tigation into the epidemic of infan tile paralysis. New York, Pennsyl vania, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and the city of Washington, D. C„ have felt the disease the heaviest this year, and the scores of deaths that have occurred among the little ones of that district has caused Uncle Sam to take some action. Dr. Wyman of the Public Health and Marine hospital service, is the leader in the investigation, and he made the announcement this week that he believes the disease to be both Infectious and contagious. Although Government Prisoners Go in Style zIDON U LIKE TO TRAVE L WITH THIS KIND OF I COMPAny—] / THEY AI?E VATTE j 44 , r HE Leavenworth Overland Spe -1 cial” is a palatial Pullman car ^which runs every now and then from Washington to a certain rest cure out west with a stone wall around it. The tours, are personally conducted land are rapidly becoming famous. Every once in awhile your Uncle Sam runs across certain persons who, tie believes, are leading a too active existence. A rest cure is what they need. Uncle Sam takes charge of them and sends them, after certain legal formalities, such as a trial and ver dict are complied with, out to Leaven ;worth to recuperate. :, With Uncle Samuel there is no class police, to post office inspectors and the treasury secret service people. Translating, you find that to make the soup you take ten or a dozen sticks of dynamite and use either wood or pure alcohol In the manner directed. Fewer depredations by yeggmen are reported this year than usual. Last fall a series of such crimes occurred and since that time apparently there has been a period of inactivity among these most dangerous of plunderers. The post office inspectors, whose con tact with yeggmen is frequent, since the attacks are often directed against country post offices, hesitate to say whether there has been an actual re duction in their numbers; for expe rience goes to show that waves of crime seem to sweep the country after intervals of varying length. The “yeggmen" are especially feared because of their recklessness regard ing the sacrifice of human life. Os It self, handling the “soup” Is a danger ous business. The explosion is a men ace to anyone in the building, and oft en the robbers must make a running fight of it to “make a get-away with the swag.” The name is of gypsy origin, and । among gypsies Indicates a clever thief ■ so the “yegg” is a wandering thief, I generally a "hobo.” As late as twenty I years ago one tramp meeting another ; and desiring to be sure of his identity > as a professional tramp, saluted him, • “Ho, Beau.” It was the password es ■ tablishing at once a confidential part t nership on a basis approaching out i lawry.

Not only is he familiar with every char acteristic of the members of the lo cal team, but he knows as well the records and playing abilities of the visiting aggregations. "I have often been asked how, as a blind man, I can enjoy a game. Why, there is nothing going on I don’t get. I know the finer points of the game, and can map out plays which I think Jim McAleer In his palmiest days could not duplicate. Don’t you think it is a peasure to see chaps of the Milan type skip around the diamond? I cannot help from yelling every time I ‘see’ him completing the circuit. Then there is Speaker of the Bos ton team, and Cobb of the Tigers. How I love to ‘watch’ them in ac tion! “It Is my firm belief that all blind people have a sort of intuition, and everything that is going on around them makes a picture In their mind. That is the way 'it appears to me, anyhow. I can sit in the grand stand in the ball park and picture what Walter Johnson and the rest of the players look like. “When the game is over, I don’t have the least trouble getting to the street cars. I can feel my way along the grand stand and reach the street.” the disease Is often fatal, its appal ling feature is that many children af fected are permanently crippled or deformed, robbed of speech or hear ing. In a word, infantile paralysis is not a slaughter but a mutilation of the innocents. The disease common ly attacks children under five years of age, but occasionally an adult is Its victim. Its shining mark at this minute in the east is William Hinrich, a pitch er of the Washington American league in Washington, and his entire right baseball team. He is in a hospital arm is paralyzed. At the present time there are over 500 cases of the dis ease in 'Washington alone, while Phil adelpuia and New York city reports even greater numbers. Nothing is known of the cause of the disease oth er than that it is believed to come from a germ, but even these have not yet been found. The disease usu ally appears during June, reaches its greatest prevalence during July and August and subsides in Septemebr. distinction. Deeds count It doesn't matter whether he was a “man high er up” or not. He travels like one. He travels to the golden west In a Pullman, he has porters to 'fcalt on him and extremely attentive detec tives to see that he is comfortable. He lolls In plush swivel chairs and he dines in those neat little la carte Pull man buffets on chicken, porterhouse steak, and all the side dishes. -He eats what he pleases and he does not tip the waiter, neither does he pay the bill. Uncle Sam attends to that. It is a delightful trip that is furnished him in his concluding days of freedom —days he is not likely to forget. From Washington to Leavenworth is a trip of more than 1,500 miles. On every mile of the journey the wants of Uncle Sam's prisoners and guards are well catered to, as evidenced by the hampers of chicken, beef, ham, eggs, sardines and so on, down to the more esthetic delights of the tourist library.

"To do this trick with cards," ex- 1 plained the parlor magician, "you must first slip the card selected upon the bottom of the pack. Then, while talking on some Interesting subject, you should peep at the card. Having fixed It In your memory, you count 100, adding to that the number of spots on the card, multiply this by 52. and divide by four because there are 52 cards In the deck and four suits of cards. Take the result, subtract 13, because there are that many cards In a suit, ask the person who drew the card if he or she remembers what It was, and then draw It from the bot tom of the pack and show It to him or her.” "But,” says one of the audience, “wouldn’t it be just as easy to take It from the bottom at the start?” “True, but wouldn’t you rob the feat of all its mystery?” Her Desire. “But I tell you I can’t afford It,” protests the husband. "Can’t you get that new hat off your mind for one day?” “I don’t want it off my mind,” ex plains the suffering wife. “I want to get It ever my mind.” Getting His Money’s Worth. "My Uncle Silas,” says the man with the mole on his ear, “was one of the most saving men that ever lived. But even with all his economical traits he never objected to my aunt’s having everything she wished on the table at Thanksgiving, making, how ever. one stipulation.” “What was that?” asked the man with the confiding air. That he should have a mirror face him while he ate,, so that he would seem to be getting twice as much as there was on the table.” The Advantages. “Did you enjoy the advantage of a college education?” asks the Inter viewer of the man who has suddenly become prominent. "That depends upon how you look r.t It,” replies the eminent person. "My older brother went to college and he always sent home his cast off tennis suits and other clothing, and I had to wear them. But I can’t say that I really enjoyed it” SIDNEY JARVIS, Singer and Actor, Values Doan’s Kid ney Pills.
