Make One, and He With Plenty Mr. Door Jack is not a practical joker, although he has very sly little way of bobbing right up in your very face when you least expect it. He is so easily made and so easily operated that children should make friends with him immediately and learn the many comical gyrations he Is subject to when he is out on one of his tantrums. In the first place, get a stout cigar box and arrange its lid so that by pulling a bent pin it will fly open and unlatch very casily. Next procure a large spring.

A bed spring or one made of coiled wire will THE SURPRISING DOOR JACK. answer the purpose. One end of this should be fastened securely to the bottom the cigar box and the frameof of wire covered over with brilliantly colored silk. Now Mr. Door Jack needs a head, doesn't he? And it remains for you to decide what proportion of beauty he is to secure.

This head may be formed of cardboard, with dashing horsehair whiskers and a scrap bag wig. At all events, make it as funny and as grotesque as you can. The chances are that the less you know about art the funnier the face will be. Across the bottom of the doorway where Jack is to make his initial performance place a plank about six inches wide. The Door Jack goes on the other side of it.

The Jack is pressed snugly into the box, the lid closed with the bent pin over a catch, and a string in your hands fastened to the pin gives you perfect control of the funny fellow's future destiny. As sister or Tom any other person wanders into the house- goes the string, and up bobs the wise Door Jack in his faring red jacket. Just you try it. A CLEVER TRICK. The Vanishing Dime and How It Is Made to Disappear.

This is a clever trick and may be done with good effect in the following manner: Previously stick a small piece of white wax on the nail of your middle finger, lay a dime on the palm of your hand and state to the company that you will make it vanish at the word of command, at the same time observing that many persons perform the feat by letting the dime fall into their sleeves, but to convince them that you have not recourse to any such deception turn up your cuffs. Then close your band, and by bringing the waxed nail in contact with the dime it will firmly adhere to it. Then blow upon your hand and cry "Begone!" and, suddenly opening it and extending your palm, you show that the dime has vanished. Care must be taken to remove the wax from the dime before restoring it to the owner if it should have been borrowed from some one in the company. To Make Knife Leap Out of a Pot.

Have a potful of water standing on the table; then take a piece of whalebone about three inches long; let It be pretty stiff, as it will spring the better; take also a new stiff card and fold it down the middle lengthwise, cut a hole through both folds at each end half an inch or more from the ends, put one end of the whalebone in at one end of the card, bend it like a bow, put the other end of the whalebone into the other end of the card, set this in a pot two or more inches deep in the water, then place the handle of your knife upon the uppermost part of the whalebone, with the point upward. Use some words of magic, as "Presto vet!" or "Omporte!" and the knife will leap out of the pot. His Heroes. In his home at Mount Vernon George Washington had placed six busts which may be taken as an indication of the great man's choice of heroes. The busts were those of Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Charles XII.

of Sweden, King Frederick of Prussia, Prince Eugene and the Duke of Marlborough. Miss Dorothy's Dolly. Miss Dorothy's dolly was awfully sick, So she sent for doctor double quick.

PENSION DECISIONS MADE BY THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR. LEGISLATORS TAKE REST WITH BARELY A QUORUM ON HAND THEY ADJOURN UNTIL MONDAY. Harrisburg, Jan. Senate was almost, if not wholly, without a quowhen it was called to order shortly after 10 o'clock this morning and after a very short session that body adjourned until Monday evening at 9 o'clock. Bills read the first time were Senate bill No.

1, providing for civil service reform in this commonwealth, and Senate bill No. 2, the first of the Philadelphia "ripper" repeal bills that were introduced in this body. These appointments were announced by the president pro tem: Clerk to the president pro tem, R. Kirk McConnell, Greensburg: day watchman, James A. Orr, Philadelphia; pasters and folders, Cleon Cinquelais, Pittsburg, and.

William J. Donough, Philadelphia. A vacancy on the committee on legislative apportionment was filled by the appointment thereto of Senator Roberts. The president pro tem announced the increase of the membership of that committee by the appointment thereto of Senators Crawford, Woods, Godcharles and Dewalt. The Governor sent to the Senate his approval of the concurrent resolution providing for the mailing of the legislative record.

In the House bills to repeal the Philadelphia ripper and to pay salaries to the Secretary of the Commonwealth and Insurance Commissioner were reported with favorable recommendations. Bills were introduced to return to the counties liquor, mercantile and other taxes and nine-tenths instead of threefourths of the personal property taxes. A bill was also introduced prohibiting improper use of money at elections. FEES IN ONE OFFICE. Colonel Lewis E.

Beitler, deputy secwe retary of the commonwealth, today presented to the House of Representatives a statement showing that during the year 1905 a total of $117,000 was received in the State Department, of which $28,000 was retained by the secretary as his legal reimbursement. The information was in accord with the Flynn resolution of Wednesday. BALLOT REFORM. Ballot reform was definitely brought before the House this morning by Mr. Fow, of Philadelphia, who introduced a resolution to inform the Governor that it is the sense of the Legislature that an additional proclamation be issued by him.

The resolution was referred to the judiciary general committee with instructions to report by Tuesday. Mr. Crout, of Philadelphia, reported the ripper repealer from the municipal coprorations committee with an affirmative recommendation. Mr. Hitchcock, of Tioga, introduced Governor Pennypacker's senatorial apportionment bill, introduced in the other chamber by Senator Roberts, of Montgomery, earlier in the week.

Mr. Cooper, of Delaware, introduced a uniform primary bill, which was sent to committee with the others. The bill fixing the salaries of the Secretary of Commonwealth and the Insurance Commissioner at $10,000 and $8000, respectively, were passed on first reading and will be open to discussion on Monday night. The House adjourned until 8 o'clock Monday night. MAD DOG SCARE RUNS THROUGH ALSACE TOWNSHIP NEAR SPIES' CHURCH AND BITES OTHER ANIMALS.

A mad dog has caused consternation in Alsace township, near Spies' Church. Farmers, armed with clubs and guns, are now scouring the section and a wholesale slaughtering of dogs is on. After an absence of several days, the dog of Henry Gauby, a farmer, returned home. Suddenly it raved and foaming at the mouth, snarled and bit at everything. Before Mr.

Gauby could securely tie the animal it bit him on the index finger of the right hand and then started on a wild run. The dog went through Friedensburg and around by Basket, biting scores of other dogs. The mad beast was finally surrounded and killed in a field by Jacob Faust. It is believed that nearly all the dogs in the lower part of Alsace township have been bitten. For this reason the slaughtering of dogs has been started.

Whether any cattle or other persons than Mr. Gauby were bitten is not definitely known. SEEDS FOR EVERYBODY GENERAL DISTRIBUTION WILL BE MADE BY AGRICULTURAL sOCIETY AT ITS NEXT MEETING. The committee on grounds of the Berks County Agricultural Society held a meeting at which it was decided to make extensive improvements to the buildings. The fair will be held during the first week of next October.

The next meeting of the society will be held on Saturday, Feb. 3, at 1.30 p. when the annual free distribution of seeds will take place. Over 500. packages were received from Congressman Kline.

of Berks-Lehigh district, and the same number from Senator Penrose, At this meeting N. G. Miller, of the State Agricultural Department, will lecture on the San Jose scale, He will show how to destroy this pest, explain the various solutions that are offered, and give his opinion as to the merits of the different remedies which are recommended to the farmers of this and other counties of the state. Secretary Throm states that the track will be put in first-class condition for the accommodation of horsemen. They will be allowed to use it for trials of speed of their trotters and pacers.

A now leaf is really the same old one with another turn. In putting up the tariff, Germany may be shutting out the better part of its breakfast, I THE BARD BROTHERS Edward John, Harry and Charles, the famous Reading acrobats, playing at the Orpheum this week. NO HEROES, DECLARE CARNEGIE (Continued on Second Page.) no opportunity to save themseives at any time, or to stand by while the rest of the crew were saved, and these seven men who have been considered heroes since their death by many, have not been considered such by the Carnegie Hero Commission. So the applications for recognition of the widows and orphans have been refused by the Hero Fund. "It is not the desire of the commission to pose as criticising the reports of newspapers," said Secretary Wilmot last night, in discussing the Slocum and Sevona disasters, "but we always make it a practice to investigate all cases most thoroughly ourselves, and we did so in these cases as all others.

We have not found that any of them come withi nthe scope of the fund." Immediate action has been ordered on the Cherokee case of a few days since off Atlantic City. The committee yesterday ordered Special Agent George A. Campsey to drop all else and take up the case of Captain Mark Casto and crew the smack Alberta, which went to the aid of the Cherokee a few days ago. Campsey is now at Atlantic City looking this case, which appears obe considered by the committee as one bordering at least on the scope of the Carnegie Hero Fund. MONEY FOR A GIRL.

The only positive move made by the commission yesterday was the granting of $2,500 to Miss Maud Titus, of Newark, N. who had at a previous meeting of the commission been granted a silver medal for life saving. Miss Titus is the 16-year-old daughter of Dr. William Titus, of Newark, N. J.

She was granted the heroine medal October 16, and 12 days later her father died, leaving the family in only moderate circumstances. Laura Reifsnyder, of East Orange, N. whose life' Maud Titus saved, went personally before the Hero Commission and pleaded for the girl, asking that she be sent through school. This was decided on yesterday. Miss Titus gets $500 the day she is graduated from the Newark high school and $500 a year for four years while she is in school.

The case of the Titus girl is considered one of the most interesting ever brought under the notice of the commission. On July 30, 1904, with Miss Reifsnyder and some others she was aboard the yacht Romance, owned by Mr. Burgess, of Boston, in Casco Bay, at Yarmouth, Me. The yacht foundered and Miss Reifsnyder could not swim, but her pupil and chum, Maud Titus, stuck with her, and though strong swimming forced their way to land she went down with her friend time and again, finally dragging her to shore. The first year of the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission shows that only nineteen worthy cases have found out of 801 examined, 382 have been refused, and there are as yet to be investigated 860 cases.

LARGE SURPLUS. It is thought that a large surplus of the $250,000 yearly income to the fund remains after the first year's work, as $2,500 appropriated yesterday to Maud Titus is first award of more than $1,000 by the commission, and there are only a few of the heroes or heroines who received money. The Carnegie fund consists of $5,000,000 in 5 per cent. bonds, the income of which is $250,000 yearly. That matters have not moved SO swiftly the fund as certain persons would like to manifest yesterday, when it sees decided that instead of allowing one special agent do the work of inquiry from Maine to California, two men should be put to work.

Accordingly John P. Cowan, a young newspaper man of Pittsburg, was named as special agent to work with Agent Campsey. It is understood that the agents will be expected to locate some heroes and heroines between now and the time of the next fund meeting. CARNEGIE BOARD OVERLOOKS THESE HEROES AN HEROINES OF THE DISASTER WHO BRAVELY SAVED MANY LIVES. New York, Jan.

are some of the heroes and heroines of the Slocum disaster whose deeds were recorded at the time, but who seem to have been overlooked by the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission: Mary A. McCann stands at the head of the heroes of the Slocum disaster. She was an Irish young girl immigrant who was convalescing at the Riverside hospital, on North Brother Island. Still ill and feeble from fever as she was, she ran from the hospital to the shore, crawled into the water and swam out and saved six young children from drowning, drawing them, one by one, to the shoal water, whence they to The Times.1 Washington, Jan. are the latest rulings on the subject of pensions: Evidence soldier deserted claimant in New York in 1846 and went to Missouri, where he married another woman, from whom he separated after a few years, and shortly afterward left there and has not been heard from since.

He is now, if living, about 82 years of age. Held that the facts do not warrant a presumption of death, as soldier's absence is not unexplained. officer was appointed a captain in engineer corps of United States volunteers. He served more than 90 days in that capacity during the War of the Rebellion, received payment therefor and was honorably discharged from said service. Held that he comes within the provisions of the act of June 27, 1890, and is entitled to pension thereunder.

who owned real estate of the value of $6,000, conveyed the same to her children for a consideration of $20; and it is held that she could not create a pensionable status nor be deemed without other means of support than her daily labor. Fraud and Mistake Reimbursement. -The evidence showing that the appellant made a fraudulent application in 1866, upon which pension was allowed and paid, it is immaterial whether such pension was actually received by her or (as is alleged) appropriated by her attorney. In either event the government may reimburse itself by withholding current pension money due her under an application filed under a different law. Line of claimant being at time of incurrence of injuries in confinement undergoing sentence of a court martial, he was not in line of duty for pensionable purposes.

BELVA LOCK WOOD PLEADS FOR SIX THOUSAND INDIANS BEFORE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT. Washington, Jan. Supreme Court of the United States is enjoying, for the first time in its existence, the experience of listening to arguments by a woman attorney. Mrs. Belva Lockwood, once a candidate for President, began yesterday and continued today presentation of the case of the Cherokee Indians, who want something like $3,000,000 from the government.

The Court of Claims found that this sum was due the Cherokee nation on a claim pending since 1828, when the Cherokees were moved from North Carolina, Georgia and Alabama to Indian Territory, and the government offers erroneously deducted the cost of their transfer from the funds accruing to them from the sale of their lands. About 6000 Indians who did not go with the main body were barred from participating in the award of the Court of Claims, and it is on behalf of these that Mrs. Lockwood appeared.

She received a silver medal from the United States Volunteer Life Saving Society, a gold medal from the coroner's jury which investigated the disaster, and a diploma from the Empress of Germany. Pauline Puetz, a waitress on North Brother Island, plunged into the water and swam so close to Slocum that she was blistered by the heat. She saved one child by holding its clothing in her teeth.

Captain Frederick W. Parkinson, of the Corrections Department boat, the Massasoit, ran SO close to the Slocum that his arm was blistered by the flames. He personally directed the work of rescuing the victims in the water, and whenever he could leave the wheel he sat in the loop of a rope over the side and aided in drawing up those who were struggling in the water. He got a silver medal from the United States Volunteer 'Life Saving Society. James J.

Duane, master of the Massasoit, went out in the lifeboat to within a few feet of the Slocum and stayed there with a hose stream playing on him to keep him from burning while he lifted persons from the water.
