JAMES A.GILMORE Was Prominent in Industrial and Civic Life of Rock Island.The passing of James A.Gilmore removes a man who has been closely identified with the business, industrial and civic life of Rock Island almost since boyhood.A man of many rare personal qualities, bis untimely death, at the comparatively early age of fifty- nine or sixty years, causes universal regret among bie many friends and acquaintances.Mr.Gilmore was a victim of an incurable lLieart trouble and his death, shortly after noon on Tuesday, July 8th, did not come altogether unexpected.James A.Gilmore was 8 son of the late Albert and Ellen (Powers) Gilmore, and was born at Rock Island, Feb.23rd, 1860.He received bis education at Stanstead College, and before he became of age, embarked in the grocery business in his native viilage.In 1891, in company with his broth- er-in-law, Samuel T.Fregeau, he established the Rock Island Overall Co., but sold bis intereet to bis partner two or three years later.In 1894 Mr.Gilmore launched the Globe Suspender Co., later on admitting Benjamin P.Ball as a partner.Selling bis interest tohis partner in 1910, Mr.Gilmore afterwards established the James A.Gilmore Company and began the manufacture of the \u201cEverright\u201d\u2019 line of garments for working men, remaining at the head of this industry until the time of bis death.In all of his various business undertakings Mr.Gilmore was successful.In his latest venture be bas had associated with bim his eldest son, Walter J.Gilmore, who will doubtless continue the business.The late Mr.Gilmore was a member of the municipal council for several years and served as mayor for three terms.He was a Justice of the Peace, Commissioner of the Superior Court, à member of the R.C.school board, warden of the church, fourth degree K.of C., a member of the Canadian Order of Foresters, the St.Joseph's Benevolent Society, the C.M.B.A., Columbian Club and Men\u2019s Association.From all of these he will be greatly missed.Auguet 28, 1883, he married Miss Edith Alice Failey, daughter of the late Francis Failey of Sweetsburg.Mr.Gilmore is survived by bis wife, three sons, Walter J., Harold F.and Guy A.; one daughter, Edith Alice; one brother,\u2018Charles Z.; three sisters, Mre.J.F.Paquette, Mrs.8.T.Fregeau and Mies Annie Gilmore.The funeral will take place at the Church of Our Lady of Mercy at 9

ladles were very thoughtful of every comfort for the visiting delegates.Meals were provided for all in the church, giving the delegates the pleasure of a social hour at meal-time.The Stanstead ladies invited the convention to that place in 1920.Following is a report of the plan of work and resolutions com- mitteea which was adopted: PLAN oF WORK, 1919-1920.Recommend: That, as it is our belief that the visits of meanbers between Unions is helpful, they should, when possible, endeavor to make such visits from time to time; That, local yearly reports by the secretaries be simplified, and that they contain only special lines of work, in order not to cause repetition, and that items of work be sent the county superintendents at least two weeks previous to annual county convention; That all reports be condensed in order to devote more time to looking forward, instead of backward, and gain time for discussion along important lines of work; That when county superintendente of departments are unable to attend annual county convention they attend to sending their written report by some member of their Union, or previously to the county corresponding secretary, who will see that said report is brought before the meeting; That at our next yearly convention a \u2018\u2018question box\u2019 be opened, whereby especially new members or others can drop in their questions for information regarding the different phases of the work, these to be answered according to custom by the County president; That each local Union that has not yet appointed a superintendent of literature and press do so, that each local Union subscribe for the U.8.official organ, \u2018\u2018The Union Signal,\u201d which covers a wide fleld of temperance knowledge, also \u201cThe Bulletin\u201d the official organ of the Dominion of Canada, giving news of special interest to Canadian workers, and that superintendents report more frequently their meetings to \u2018The White Ribbon Leaflet,\u201d our Provincial organ, also thad we advertize our grand and noble work more, that we may become better known and an \u2018\u2018up to date\u2019 county Union, and thue extend the work throughout the country; That parlor meetings continue to be held and more frequently, by the Unions in which the young people and gentlemen may not feel that they are excluded (rom our activities, sociable or otherwise; That, as our Federal (Government has at last cocognized that equal sut- {rage is our right, aud have granted the vote to the women of Canada, above the age of 21 years, we proceed to avail ourselves of the long-delayed privilege by having our names placed upon the Federal voters lista; recommend furthermore, that in each Union in Stanstead County a committee of two be named whose duty it shall be to confer with the council, in each rmaunicipality ae to the proper mouth in which to have women\u2019s names added to the voters\u2019 lista, also that we assist in looking after the interest of our women of this county regarding their voting privilege, urging them to act without delay at the proper time in order that they may be eligible to vote at the next Federal election; That local Unions appoint saperin- tendents of franchise, where there are none, and that a special line of study be taken up in parliamentary law and scientific government, in order that we may fit ourselves for the added responsibilities that will come to us under the franchise act for women; also that women\u2019s public meetings be held on the subject.Lastly, as our County W.C.T.U.is handicapped for want of funds to carry on the work, any gifts from any source would be gratefully received, and happily acknowledged.REPORT OF RESOLUTIONS COMMITTEE, That this convention express ite gratitnde to Almighty God for the victorious conclusion of the great war; also its deep appreciation to the sacrifice made by the heroic men and women of Stanstead County for the cause of righteousness and justice, and ite sincere hope and trust that the same earnest effort and reliance of God may speedily secure the overthrow of man\u2019s greatest enemy, the liquor traffic.That this convention is dissappointed at the action of the Quebec Provincial Government in not fulfilling its promise of prohibition and in amending the prohibitory law to include wine and beer.We wish to\u2019 convey to Premier Gouin our appreciation of what has been done and the hope that effective machinery will be provided for the rigid enforcement of the law.That this convention send to the Rev.Ben Spence of the Ontario Branch of the Dominion Alliance its appreciation of the work of the Alliance in Ontario and the earnest wishes that the temperance forces of Ontario will be entirely succeesful in the coming Referendum in that Province.To the Officers and Members of the Quebec branch of the Dominion Alliance: Whereas, there is every reason to believe that the laws controling the sale and importation of intoxicating liquors are being violated in those counties under the Canada Temperance Act, And, whereas the Provincial author- itles refuse to enforce the Canuda Temperance Act, And, whereas we have learned that the Quebec branch of the Dominion Alliance is about to appoint a fleld secretary, whose work will be to aid in enforcing our prohibition laws throughout the Province, We, the officers and delegates of the Stanstead County W.C.T.U.assembled in annual convention at Coaticook on this the 18th day of June, 1919, do hereby pledge ourselves to assist financially and in any other practical way, the appointed secretary of the Dominion Alliance provided he will aid ue in law enforcement within our county.Signed by the officers and delegates of the Stanstead County Woman's Temperance Union.Whereas, the clause if our municipal code \u201cWhereus all male ratepayers be eligible on school board,\u201d be changed to all rate-payers be eligible on school board, Whereas, the women of the Dominion of Canada have been granted equal franchise with men, by the Federal Government, and whereas they are not bound to any political party, therefore be it resolved that we, the members of the Stanstead County W.C.T.U.aseembled, affirm our belief that the conbined vote of the women would be of more force along prohibition lines or any legielation they wished to carry into effect than if they were divided as to party along the old political lines, and when women are elected to represent us (as no doubt they will be) that with the \u2018\u2018independent vote\u201d we shall be in a stronger position to obtain whatsoever laws we may demand.That this convention approves of the principle of compulsory education and free schools and text books and suggests that candidates for the Provincial Assembly be requested to state their position in regard to this question before the oncoming election.Resolved, that the time bas come when, in the interests of fair play, good logic and general progress, the County W.C.T.U.should take note of the faithful and helpful work of the one township organization in its midst, and gladly acknowledge the existence of such a society by making its preei- dent a member of the County Executive and allowing at least one delegate at large aside from the regular delegates sent from the four Unions in the township.Resolved, that the thanks of Stan- stead County W.C.T.U.are due and hereby tendered to the trustees of the Coaticook Methodist Church for the use of their building, to the speaker, musicians, to the Y\u2019s and all others who have helped to make our annual gathering successful.The convention closed with prayer by the president, Mrs.J.B.Oliver, after which the Coaticook

HUN BOOBY TRAPS Left When Armies Were Driven From France.\u2018 Detection of Contrivances Which Had No Part in Civilized Warfare Was Made Work of Special Organization.\u2014 * Detection by British army investi Æators of German \u201cbooby traps\u201d saved the lives of many an officer or man of the British armies during the perlod when the Germans were retreating from France.\u201cI am convinced,\u201d says one officer, \u201cthat we nipped many of the Hun's favorite plans by capturing near Bray a little factory where he made his \u2018booby traps\u2019 When we occupied it we learned much from the partly cou- pleted traps we found lying about the place, \u201cOne of them was an iron plate.This the wily Hun dropped in a roadway so that it would likely.be trod upon by soldler or horse of our advancing troops.The plate was in two parts, with a spring Inside, and usually contained a detonator connected with a heavy charge of explosive.When the weight of the foot was removed the spring slipped Into place and exploded the detonator, and the damage was done, \u201cThese spring detonators were the Germans\u2019 specialty.They consisted of a tube containing a little spring with a hook at one end.Attached to the hook was a string or wire connecting with the explosive charge.Any arrangement by which the spring could \u2018be distended and then suddenly contracted served to jerk the string, and the charge was exploded.\u201cOne night I received a call from our lieutenant colonel who had spent the day directing movements from a re cently captured German dugout.He told me he was nervous, and believed he was associating with a \u2018booby,\u2019 and asked me to send him a squad of engl- neers to look it over.I went myself.\u201cThe colonel sat in the dugout, about ten feet down, on a chair by a table, Directly in front of the chair was a petrol can, and it was the can he feared.He had notlced it early in the morning when the dugout was first oc- cupled, but had no time to examine it until evening.Then he found nothing, but he had a \u2018hunch\u2019 that it was a trap and wanted expert assistance, \u201cI dug a little trench around the can, but could find no wires, and then tapped it, but received no sound other than that which might come from any old empty can.There was nothing to do but open it, and, borrowing the colonel's can opener, I went at it as gingerly as I could.\u201cIt was partly filled with about eight pounds of one of the most deadly powder explosives known to science.This I removed very carefully, and in the bottom of the can found the spring detonator.It had been fastened to the bottom of the can in such a way that if the can had been lifted from the floor of the dugout the charge would have exploded, and the colonel and his party would have been blown to bits.\u201cThe colonel paled a little when I showed him just what he had been as- soclating with all day, and very fervently thanked himself for obeying his \u2018hunch\u2019 to let that can alone.\u201d Jet.If you have made the trip to the bottom of a coal mine and have seen how the black lumps are made ready for use, perhaps you know that jet, the shiny black substance that you see so often, made Into pretty ornaments, beads, buttons, etc, is closely akin to coal.The history of the formation of jet is much like that of coal.Thousands of years ago, masses of wood were carried down into the sen by the rivers, and, there waterlogged, it sank and became embedded In the mud.Pressure and heat and the salt water wrought the change In the wood.Even now traces of the wood structure can be detected in the Jet itself.In years gone by jet used to be found in lumps oft the coast of Yorkshire, the jet incased In shale known as Jet-rock, washed up by the sea; but now that supply is not suf- ficlent and Jet has to be regularly mined.In Whitby, Yorkshire, the best Jet is produced, but there are also Important mines in France and Spain, and Americe too, has quantities of the shale, though It is not systemat- {cally mined.General Pershing\u2019s Religion, General Pershing was understood to be a Presbyterian, but according to published reports, he has later been confirmed as a member of the Protestant Episcopal church.The Living Church, an organ of that faith, states that the confirmation service took place in France, and was conducted by Rt.Rev.Charles H.Brent, bishop of western New York.It is sald that General Pershing desired to unite with the Episcopal church in memory of hie wife, who was of that faith.She and thelr three daughters lost thelr lives in a fire at the Presidio military buildings at San Francisco, August 27, 1015 Not Walking.\u201cDo your troubles make you walk the floor?\u201d \u201cNo,\u201d

American rifle that has been handed down lu the hearthstone history and traditions of those who for generations have lived in the West.It begins with the Greenbrier region of Virginia of colonial times, thence Into Kentucky, to Missouri fn the days of Upper Louislana, thence to the great prairies of the far West and on to California.The family rifle was dear and sacred.John aud Margaret Ferril and their farully were with a party of ploneers from the Greenbrier region who migrated to Kentucky in the early.days.Owing to the hostilities of the indians, they were armed and under the command of Capt.Jacob Baughman, a brother of Margaret Ferril.They \u201cpacked\u201d on horses over thse Alleghany mountains and when In camp at or near Crab Orchard, Ky., were attacked in the night by Indlana.In the fight that ensued Capt.Baugh: man, John Ferrll and others were killed, but the men held back the Ip- dians long enough to enable some of the women and children to escape.Among the number thus saved were Margaret Ferril, a son, John Ferril, and two daughters; and also Mrs.Jacob Baughman, & son Henry of tender age, and two daughters.The Baughman-Ferril fight, or massacre, occurred in the fall of 1770.John Ferril, then fourteen years old, who had escaped, swore an oath of revenge on his rifle.He kept that vow.and his rifle became a bloody one In the Indian wars of Kentucky.In the Boone Lick region of Mir- sour], now Howard county, In 1812, were bullt several forts for protection against Indians, especially the Sacs and Foxes and the Pottawatomies, John Ferril and family were in one of them, known as Fort Cooper.He here still possessed his old Kentucky rifle.After the war of 1812, in addt- tion to farming, he often engaged in hunting expeditions up the Missouri and Kansas rivers, and sometimes far out on the great prairies.Over a century ago he hunted bear and other game on what is now the site of Kansas City, He and other frontiersmen then predicted that a great city would be founded on the confluence of the Missourl and Kansas rivers, The old rifie of John Ferril has been preserved.During the Civil war, when the authorities were collecting all the guns in Saline county, Missouri, they seized the old Ferril rifle.Keziah Fer.ril, then about ninety years old, cried and begged that it be not taken.Mer sons and grandsons were wearing the blue and gray and a compromise was effected.It was agreed that this old rifle should be hid away, and thus the old Ferri] rifle became a noncombatant in the Civil war.It later passed to the possession of Jesse Ferril, county Judge, son of Henry Ferril, who founded Miami, Mo.On the death of Judge Jesse Ferril the rifle was passed on a8 an heirloom to his brother, John Ferril, who had been a soldier from Saline county with Doniphan's Missourians in the Mexican war.John Ferril dled some months ago at bis home in Exeter, Cal.As Good as a Youth.Workmen at a mill in Greencastle are telling a good story regarding one of the workmen.It has been a rule of the company not to employ men over à certain age.A few days ago a man l{ving within a stone\u2019s throw of the mill solicited work, but was turned down because of his gray whiskers and his snow-white hair, The \u201cold\u201d man was not daunted, He felt he was still good for many days of work, 80 he went to a drug store, bought a bottle of black halr dye and soon had his whiteness a jet black.He again asked for work of the same foreman and was accepted at once.He was put to work and made good from the start.Then he was worried because his white hair was growling, as also were his equally white whiskers.He again bought a second bottle of dye and used it to hide his identity.The \u201cold\u201d man Is still working his eight hours a day and one official of the company stated he had done such a good job he did not have to buy another bottle of dye, but could hold his Job, even with his white hair and whiskers.\u2014Indianapolis News.Pent Up Emotions.\u201cI don't suppose you bear any {ll will toward your officers?\u201d \u201cNo,\u201d replied the discharged mule skinner.\u2018But there's a mule

Stanstead Journal: Dear 8ir,\u2014WI1ll you kindly allow me to recommend to all motorists a short but wonderfully exciting trip, beginning at Rock leland, and ending (DV) at Lake Park, .The scenery, as your readers well know, is unrivalled, but one who has not been over this road lately can form no idea of its wonders.From the top of the hill leading down to the beautifal village of Beebe, and through the main street of same the motorist is treated to a series of gentle (mot too gentle) bumps, an exercise said to be excellent for such as may be suffering from indigestion, while farther on, as we approach the boundary and North Derby, the above- mentioned treatment is continued with ever-increasing intensity, until the perspiring driver (or shall Ieay patient) finds bis car wildly leaping hurdles, or elimbing out of sand holes.Ihave already ruptured certain springs (on the car) but my digestion is excellent.Crossing the line the road sustains ite character, except that while on the Beebe side nothing is done to annoy it, on this side it is titivated by the road machine.This is done usually just before a heavy rain, and as the soil consists largely of clay the road immediately becomes a slippery pudding, which later hardens into granolithic highway, traversed by huge rute, and these are gradually worn down, until the road \u201creturns to dust as it wae\u2019 before being massaged by old Doctor Road Machine.The so-called \u2018Shore Road\u201d from Lake Park to Newport I can also recommend on account of its ecenic beauty, and the eccentricities of ite bed.I have tried it once this summer and it is thrilling, particularly on the West Derby section.Three rousing cheers for our \u2018*Good Roads.\u201d A Former Stanstead Boy.ABBIE SCOTT BROWN Mra.Ezra A.Brown, formerly of Derby Line, died at her home in Worcester, Mass, Friday, July 4th, at the age of 52.Mrs.Brown, whose maiden name was Abbie A.F.Scott, belonged to an old and well-known Eastern Townships family.Sho was a daughter of the late Morah and Nancy (Dudley) Scott of East Bolton.In 1898 Mr.and Mre.Brown came to Beebe to live, and in 1907 moved to Derby Line.For some time Mrs.Brown

during the epidemic of influenza in Chicago, Ill.Mr.and Mre.Brown bad gone to Chicago in May, 1918, to be near their son, but after his death, moved to Worcester, Mass.Mrs.Brown belonged to the \u2018\u2018old echool,\u201d to that olass of women whose gentle sweetness and human kindness make life worth while for those with whom they are associated.Her death was due to an affection of the heart, induced by envemis, and an attack of la grippe in February, from which she never fully recovered although she was confined ,to her bed only three weeks.Her passing will be keenly felt by many old friends in the communities where she had lived.The remains reached this place Sunday morning, accompanied by Mr, Brown and two brothers, Ira E, of North Vaesalboro, Me., and Frank E , of Worcester, Mass.Rev.J.I.Hughes, pastor ot Centenary Methodist Church, conducted the burial service at Derby Line.Besides her husband, Mra.Brown leaves one sister, Mre.David Randall, formerly of East

Location.The Community Chautauqua opened yesterday afternoon with a popular entertalnment of readings and music by the Theresa Bhoeban Concert Co, who also gave an interesting prelude to the evening lecture, \u2018*Echoes of the German Revolution.\u201d The lecturer was F.E.Tillemont-Thomason of Liverpool, England, who delved into history a thousand years to show how oruelly and unfairly the Poles had been treated by the Huns.The speaker contended that German obaracteris- tics, as manifested towards the neigh- ginning of the present war, furnished ample reason for suspicion and watch fulness on the part of the allies.He thought a great mistake was being made in allowing Germany to have a standing army of 200,000, and he did pot think there should be any let-up in the demands for the full measure of compensation from the marauding enemy, whose country was untouched and whose losses of men were 1,850,000 less than those of the allies.| Industrially, Germany was in & better position than most other countries.Given tbe raw materials it wagde- manding and it would continue ite policy of peaceful conquest which had proven so disastrous to the rest of the world.For the protection of future generations, the speaker thought the men of today should insist that Germany should pay the cost of its late wantenness.This could be met out of its coal mines alone and there were numerous other ways of meeting it.Mr.Tillemont-Thomason gave a very interesting resumé of Garman and allied strategy during the war.Thomas Brooks Fletcher, who will be here Friday evening, has the reputation of being the greatest af dramatic lecturers.He is an editor, a business mal and-a booster,of national reputation.No one can afford to mies seeing aad hearing him, The big tect is located south of Sunnyside grounds at the top of the Plain Hill.The Chautauqua management consider the site an ideal one.COMMUNITY CHAUTAUQUA The Three Villages are very glad to welcome the Community Chautauqua.This year the company is offering one of the finest programs ever presented in New England or Eastern Canada.The ability of the lecturers is such that the mention of each name suggests a speaker of established reputation.A very pleasing feature of each afternoon and evening program is the musical entertainment.We are all enjoying this week most thoroughly, and know that everyone appreciates what the Chautauqua is doing for us.The Three Villages may well be proud of the work they have done in boosting the Chautauqua.The leaders have done wonderfully well, and the com- \u2018mittees have put forth united effort to make this season\u2019s Chautauqua a big success.TOMIFOBIA - The Junior Guild of Griffin will hold an ice cream social on the church lawn Tuesday, July

issued an appeal to American boys to take up seagoing, which is a part of a nation-wide movement by the board to interest the American people in the manning of the great new merchant fleet which resluted from the war.Mr.Hurley points out that the new ships must be manned by Americans if they are to remaln an asset worthy of the country's greatness.\u201cThe backbone of the merchant marine 1s the men who are in it,\u201d he says.\u201cIt is as vital to the nation's prosperity that we have efficient Amer- fcan crews for the ships of the new merchant marine as it fs for the rall- roads to have skilled and loyal train crews,\u201d The American boy is the hope of the merchant marine, according to Mr.Hurley.\u201cOur present greatest need,\u201d he says, \u201cIs to get in touch with the American boys who should man our new ships.I hope that every newspaper In the country will take notlce of it; that every preacher will men- Yop It from the pulpit; that every city and town, through {ts officials, will Joke a canvass 0 de dope men of e community who be available fr training as fmerchant mariners, qi a view to becoming offcers, of gbipping agents, or foreign Fide re fesentatives fof Amerlean Interests\u201d Mr.Hurley adds that the shipping board will give its fullest co-operation to any community wishing to send It boys to be tralned for the merchant marine, and requests that communlca- tions on the subject be sent to Henry Howard, the shipping board's director of recruiting at Boston, Mass.GETS EMBALMED HEAD lt Was Shrunk to About the Size of an Orange, but Given Museum.A

Mrs.Parker.Small as it is, it ts covered by a luxuriant growth of long black hair.The Jibero Indians are among the flercest head hunters in the world, according to Mrs.Parker.Instead of scalping their

tions\u201d\u2014Enomy's Spring Offensive In 1918 Brought Cry for \u201cMen, More Men\u201d\u2014Year 1920 Set as Goal for Which America Should Strive.The war demonstrated that the nation can \u201corganize, train and transport troops of a superior sort at a rate which leaves far behind any program for the manufacture of munitions,\u201d Assistant Secretary Crowell, director of munitions, declared in his introductory summary to the officlal history of \u201cAmerica\u2019s Munitions.\u201d .A critlc has an easy opportunity to discover that certain things were not done, Secretary Crowell frankly says, and then enumerates the outstanding failures: \u2019 \u201cAmerican airplanes did not arrive at the front in sufficient numbers; American guns In certain essentlal calibers did not appear at all; American gas shells were not fired at the enemy; American troops fought with French and British machine guns to a large extent.\u201d Goal Seemed Far Off.Reviewing the historical facts which have been cited as explaining these unaccomplished hopes Mr, Crowell pointed out again that 1920 had been definitely set by the allied governments as the goal for which America should strive; that \u201cthe decision to prepare heavily for 1919-1920 and to sacrifice for 1917-1918 the munitions which might have been produced at the cost of less adequate preparation for the more distant future was based on sound strategical reasoning on the part of the allies and ourselves,\u201d The official program for American | co-operation, adopted by the supreme war council, is stated to have comprised four lines of endeavor, which, in degree of importance, were: To keep the allies from starvation by shipping food.To maintain the fiow of material already in production for them.| To send as many men as could be transported by available shipping.To bend all energies to the future great army which would deliver the final blow.Plea Swiftly Answered, When the enemy's spring offensive brought the cry for \u201cmen\u2014more men,\u201d the report says, the response was 80 thorough that in July, 1918, the number sent across was three times that contemplated in the original staff estimates.Attention was called to the fact, that while the army war college had on file detailed plans for defending American harbors, coasts and borders, there was no plan for \u201cthe equally important and equally necessary mobilization of Industry.\u201d The years 1017 and 1918, the ume sry wij \u201c reves tang 6 j rpogumen 0 © drkshop and factory, which In this Period insured the victory.\u201d The munitions report was prepared by more than a score of officers and civilian officials, each of whom super vised the chapter dealing with his particular department.It was prepared in compliance with a request from Secretary Baker, who declared that, \u201cas the whole people have been called upon to make sacrifices for the war all the people should be given an opportunity to know what has been done in their behalf.\u201d FIRST PLANE WEDDING Couple Married in Texas 2,000 Feet Above Spectators.Soaring aloft in a giant Handley- Page bombing airplane, more than 2,000 feet above the heads of 10,000 spectators at Ellington field, Texas, Lieut.R.W, Meade of Cincinnati, O., and Miss Marjorie Demont of York- ville, Ind.,, were married by Chaplain J.E.Rees of Neven, O., while the deafening exhaust from the two big Liberty motors roared forth the wedding march.The ceremony, the first of Its kind ever recorded, was one of the stunts arranged In a program to stimulate recruiting for the alr rerv!ce.Including the bride and bridegroom the big airplane carried a weddi x party of twelve persons.Grapes Kept All Winter, One of the strangest results of the mild winter Just passed

NC Pattern Studied by the Naval Experts In Washington\u2014To Play Its Full Part In Naval Strategy Seaplane Must Become as Independent Unit as Modern Destroyer or Submarine.Flying ships, instead of flylng boats, will be the logical evolution of navy seaplanes, navy experts belleve, as a result of the first alr trip across the Atlantic.First impressions, of the lessons taught by that trip had already taken definite shape In the minds of the men who conceived and built the NC machines, one of which Lieutenant Commander A.C, Read maneuvered to |- a safe mooring at Plymouth, England.It was the experlence of the NC-1, lost off the Azores, and the NC-3, battered out of usefulness by heavy seas before she made port at Ponta Del- gada, that the inventive genius of the department turned for Inspiration, rather than to the NC-4.Experts are convinced that to play its full part in naval strategy the seaplane must become as independent a unit as a modern submarine or destroyer.It must be able to keep the geas in heavy weather, riding on the surface.It must be able to lift itself into the air cr to plane down to a safe ldnding, even when tall seas are running, and it must provide for its crew, safety, shelter, and reasonable comfort under very adverse cireum- stances, for the efficiency of the plane depends upon the efficlency of its men.To fulfill its function as a scout the seaplane of the future must be able to communicate at all times by radio.Plan Flotiilas of the Alr.The answer to all of these requirements in the minds of the experts is larger craft, veritable flying ships.The vision toward which the designers are looking 1s that of flotillas of seaplanes relying wholly upon their own power for transportation on the surface or in the alr and operating from swift \u201cmother ships,\u201d as submarines and destroyers now operate.As battleships have developed from 11,000-ton predreadnaughts to the 43,000-ton monsters for which the navy ls now contracting, so, naval officers say, seaplane evolution will come type by type and year by year, each advance belng based on results obtained with preceding types.This is the program lald out by the navy department as the basis for the request recently made to congress by Secretary Daniels for $45,000,000 for aviation development in the next fiscal year.Part of this appropriation, if granted, will go into lighter-than-alr development.The general board ls expected to recommend the immediate purchase of a British rigid dirigible for personnel training and the con- truco of a similar vessel on Amer- es as à pflot ship of § fleet fir crplsers.e pure ase of the ritish Zeppelin would permit the training of à crew to handle the first American craft when completed.The navy department is said to be ready to proceed with Zeppelin construction on its own plans whenever congress grants authority and appropriations, The ship, It is understood, would not be patterned exactly on the British modifications of German Zeppelin construction.The discovery of noncombustible helium gas to inflate the bags Is said to have pointed the way to some radical changes In design.Details of what is contemplated have not been disclosed.Naval experts point out that in both seaplane and dirigible development one of the most important elements to be considered is that of getting effi- clent power.The Liberty motors have proved highly satisfactory so far as endurance goes on the transatlantic light, but no means have yet been wolved to get the full benefit of thelr power.The problem is the same as \u2018hat encountered with steam turbines nu surface craft.Testing Reduction Gear.The navy has been working for nonths with a reduction gear system :0 go between the engine and the propeller.A similar device has permit- :ed destroyers to use turbine engines, aut it has been found a difficult task to design a lightweight reduction gear tor seaplanes or other craft.Should this device be worked out, the NC seaplanes could be made much more effi- gent and their cruising radlus could be greatly Increased.As to the sen-keeping qualities of the NC planes, the experiences of the NC-1 and NC-8 indicate tu experts that some way must be found to get the plane surfaces higher out of the water.This would save them from battering into the sea when riding the surface.New gnsoline motors for lighter than-air craft have been worked out and received their first test on the flight of the dlrigible C-5 from Mon- tauk Point, L.I, to St.John's, Newfoundland.So well did they function that decision had been made to attempt a direct flight to Ireland with the C-5 before the ship was blown to sea and wrecked, Another attempt to cross the Atlantic will be made as soon as \u2018similar engines can be installed in another aircraft of the \u201cC\u201d type.GUARD IN BRILLIANT ARRAY Cretan Soldiers In Attendance on Venizelos at Peace Conference Were Gorgeously Uniformed.Kings, presidents and premiers ceased to be a novelty at the peace conference, but the bodyguard of Premier Venizelos of Greece never failed to attract great crowds.At the hotel where the American- delegation was housed and at the foreign office, Ven- izelos\u2019 approach was always heralded by the arrival of one of his Cretan soldiers arrayed more brilliantly than a comic-opera bandit, The Cretans who escorted the Greek statesman were all more than six feet tell and apparently had been chosen from various organizations, as a different man appeared daily, and the same uniform was never seen twice.The swarthy Cretans all had small waxed mustaches twisted into upturned points and stood rigidly at a}- tention for hours while awaiting M.Venizelog at the entrance to the hotel or the foreign office.The jibes of small boys and the jokes of various allied soldiers who gathered in wonderment never seemed to disturb the Imperturbable Cretans.Perhaps the most startling uniform worn by one of the guards consisted of white tights bound by tasseled black silk cords at the knees, a red velvet blouse and sash, a red fez surmounted by a black silk tassel so long that 1t fell below the waist, and black sandals with upturned toes topped by great black silk pompons.This cos tume was completed by an ivory-han- dled knife two feet long thrust carelessly into the sash.The knives and swords worn by the Cretans were the chlef feature of the uniforms and made collectors of antique weapons very envious.They were of all sizes and shapes and had sheaths of great splendor, jeweled and carved In a marvelous manner.Some of the guards were bare-kneed and had costumes not unllke the Scotch in style, but much gaudler in color.Others wore marvelously dec- orr:téd leggings reaching far above the knees.Capes of Oriental hues were frequently worn by the Cretans and added to the brilllancy of the Greek uniforms, which made the fancy dress uniforms of the French and English look somber.American Oil.A famous British statesman, Lord Curzon, declared that the allles \u201cfloated to victory on a sea of oil.\u201d He might have said \u201con a sea of American oll\u201d No less than four-fifths of the petroleum products used by the allies were furnished by America.At one time, before the shipping of American oil was properly organized, the armies in France had on hand less than one month's supply, forcing the general staff to make calculations of how they must retreat in case of a breakdown in the supply of gasoline.America, however, came heroically to the rescue and saved the day.Chief credit for our titanic achlevements in keeping the allied navies and armies going with oil was officially given A.C.Bed- ford, chairman of the petroleum war service committee of the United States fuel administration, by representatives of both the British and French governments on the occasion of the presentation to Mr.Bedford of the cross of the French on of Honor, The Occasion was historic in that 1t brought together in a harmonious way all the independent oll representatives and the Standard Oll groups, a feat which would have been impossible before the common danger begot the necessity for common action.\u2014Forbes Magazine.\u2014 The Jugo-Slavs.\u201cJugo-Slavs\u201d means South Slavs, The origin of the word as a political deslg- nation is not definitely known.It appeared, perhaps, first as an official name for a South Slav combination at the convention of Corfu.It had, however, been used previously by Archduke Francis Ferdinand to describe the Slavic people of southern Austria- Hungary, Serbla and Montenegro.According to the plan credited to him the South Slavs were to be united into one nation and to form an integral part of Austria-Hungary, thus changing it from a two-part to a three- part monarchy.\u2018 He Did.One of the Indianapolis grade schools recently organized a company of cadets.A high school cadet was obtained to train them, but the prin- clpal of the grade school

moonshiners has even increased.Their output has been supplying thousands of people with \u201cbooze\u201d in an otherwise \u201cdry\u201d territory.The moonshiners are desperate men and skilled marksmen.They have succeeded in concealing their stills in \u2018the forbidding mountains of the South, and their friends and neighbors are banded together to protect the industry.Lookouts stationed in the wooded valleys and in the shadowy recesses scan every approach and are prepared to shoot first and ask questions afterward.It is for these reasons that offl- cers of the internal revenue department, familiarly known to the moonshiners as \u201crevenuers,\u201d have failed to stop the industry.Many government officers have met death in thelr unsuc- «cessful efforts to locate the mountain stills and to arrest the moonshiners.Prohibition Alds Moonshiners.The moonshine business has been made an unusually flourishing business recently because of the numerous localities that have gone \u201cdry\u201d as a result of local option laws.Despite the heavy penalties for operating a still, there have been few convictions.The center of the moonshine district is in Kentucky and comprises Clay, Laurel, Leslie, Knox and Jackson coun- tiles, These neighboring counties are in the southeastern part of the state, and but a short distance from the \"Tennessee line.It has been estimated that there are at least 20 moonshine stills in Clay county.In Clay county, home of feudists, where for years good marksmanship has been the only price of safety to members of the fighting familles, the moonshiners and their associates are sald to be more numerous than in any other part of the state.London, In Laurel county, is the nearest rallroad point to the heart of the moonshine «district.Travelers are not welcomed in the moonshine country.A stranger tour- Ing the mountains ean expect at any moment to see a rifle barrel gleam from.out of the underbrush and at the same time recelve a warning to leave, Should the visitor, however, be vouched for by mountaineers who can guarantee that he is not a \u201crevenuer,\u201d a curious stranger or a possible enemy to the moonshine industry, he is free to enter the danger zone.Very few strangers, however, can secure this personal guarantee of safety.Raise Their Own Corn.The moonshiners ralse thelr own corn to be used in the manufacture of whisky.While the mountaineers.maintain that the corn is raised for commercial purposes and for fodder, very little of the grain 1s devoted to these ends.The moonshine business thrives in the autumn after the crops have been harvested.In the spring and summer the stills are not operated extensively, owing to the fact that the moonshiners are buslly engaged In taking care of thelr grain and garden truck.During the day the men spend most of their time in the little mountain villages.After nightfall, however, they gather around the stills.When darkness comes the smoke from the fires is not visible and as a result detection is not easy.The mountaineers of the moonshine districts are simple-minded, but hospitable.They will take the stranger in, feed him and keep him overnight.He is watched continually, however.The houses are mostly one-story log cabins.There are no carpets and the planks in the floors have wide cracks between them.Despite their illicit business, the moonshiners are devout churchgoers.Every Sunday they go to the nearest church.Sometimes a moonshiner may meet an enemy in church.They will leave the service and shoot at each other with big-call- ber revolvers.If one of the mountaineers is lucky enough to survive the shooting affair, he may return to church and hear the rest of the sermon, Lawsuits Popular in Mountains.The moonshiners take great pleasure in going to court.They will bring a lawsuit ageinst a neighbor on the slightest pretense.The man who loses will likely secure revenge by shooting the winner.The accurate shooting of the manufacturers of \u201cmountain dew\u201d make it difficult to arrest the moonshiners, and revenue officers have frequently hidden in the mountains until the mountaineers have left the still before enter- \u201c1g the plants.The government agents seek to destroy the copper coll in which the vapor is condensed.These coils are difficult tu repiace, as they have to be brought from Ohio, which is nearly 200 miles from the moonshine district.City dealers will not always sell colls to mountaineers, and as a result the moonshiners often have been forced to employ a confederate to make the purchase for them.When the coil finally has been secured, the moonshiner has the difficult task of taking it home uncbserved., Arriving at London he has to conceal it in a bag of measl or in a barrel of oll.The moonshiner will then throw the bag over the back of a mule and proceed on his way to the still, high in the mozitains.The whisky makers of the Kentucky and Tennessee inountains do not seek to be interrupted in their chosen vocation of making \u201cmountain dew,\u201d nor do they desire the society of the \u201cblue grass\u201d gection to come near them, fearing that they will suffer ignominy in comparison.The mountaineers live the lives they please, regardless of what the outside world has prescribed as conventional.A whole family will sleep in one room.A man will think nothing of drinking a quart of whisky a day.The moonshiners have no use for newspapers, magazines or books, and pay little attention to what is going on outside their mountains, Defend Moonshine Industry.The moonshiners have failed to understand why the government should interfere with thelr business.They maintain that they raise their own corn in land they own.Because of the lack of rallroad facilities, the mountaineers assert It is Impossible to ship the grain to the cities, The roads are too hilly and rocky to haul the corn to the villages, and, in order to make a living for thelr family, are forced to manufacture whisky.All the moonshiner asks is that the government keep the \u201crevenuers\u201d away.The crafty maker of moonshine always is prepared to back up his logle by engaging in gun play with any stranger who disagrees with him, and it is because of these precautions that the government has found it difficult to put an end to the llllcit manufacture of liquor in the rough mountain.sus districts of the South.NOT WORST PROSPECTS United States Troops in Germany Ob- Jects of Envy to Britishers.The following are extracts from the Watch on the Rhine, a paper published for the benefit of the troops in the Americun army of occupation: \u201cThe prospects for the soldier in the American army of occupation are not the worst in the world, according to a group of Tommies from Cologne who visited Andernach one Sunday recently.\u201cThe Tommles say they would be \u2018bally well delighted\u2019 if they had the prospects of going home that the Americans huve.They sald that, although they will soon finish their du- tles In Germany, they must then go to India for service.\u201cThe British soldlers were also greatly pleased with the Enlisted Men's club on the Rhine and the cafeteria in Andernach.In most of the towns where the British are bllleted, they said, it was impossible to even buy cigarettes.The big event for the Tommles stationed near Cologne Is a boat trip to Andernach or Coblenz once a week, HAD TO SEE HUSBAND Woman Who Was Refused a Ship Passage Stowed Away.\u201cI Just had to see my husband, and so I stowed away,\u201d was the explanation of Mrs.Mary Joy, stowaway wife of a machinist working at the Union iron works in San Francisco, to Purser George F.Roberts of the Matson Navigation company\u2019s liner Lurline, which arrived there after & 714-day trip from Honolulu.\u201cI went te the Pacific Mail company office in Honolulu, and they told me they were booked solid for a year, and the Matson office told me they were booked six months ahead, so I just left,\u201d she declared.Six hours out she was found under a bed by Roberts?At first she thought that the ship's officers were going to make her work her way or put her in irons, but she offered Roberts $88, the price of the passage, which he accepted, and led her to a cabin which happened to be vacant.Her husband, Al B.Joy, a former machinist in the navy from whom she has been absent one month, met her when the vessel docked at pler 82.Man Weighs 744 Pounds, David McGuire, seventy-four years old, of Silver Lake, Wis., has the reputation of being the world's largest man.He weighs 744 pounds and stands six feet seven inches in height, It Is not very often that he stands or walks, however, a8 the glant has too much weight for his limbs to bear with comfort, Recently a specially fitted wagon drawn by a single horse broke down under his weight.Five farm hands stralned their muscles to assist the glant back In the wagon.\u2018 Agents for circuses have made many efforts to secure the services of the fat man.But he has turned down thelr fabulous salaries, preferring to live quietly on his hig farm.France Has 550,000 Ruined Buildings.There are 550,000 buildings to be reconstructed in the devastated districts of northern France, according to statistics given to the chamber of depu- tles, Three hundred thousand buildings were destroyed and 250,000 were partly demolished.- CHILDREN TO HONOR YOUNGSTOWN MAN | Plan $30,000 Memorial to Vol- ney Rogers, Who Pro- __ vides Park.School children of Youngstown, 0, have started a unique campaign to raise $30,000 to defray the expenses of the proposed statue and memorial entrance to Mill Creek park in honor of Volney Rogers, lover of children, of birds and nature.Men in Youngstown gladly would defray the expenses, but the memorial Is to be the tribute of the Youngstown public, for whom he provided what is regarded as one of the finest natural parks In the country; and is to be solicited through his friends, the children.The movement to erect the memorial was started last fall when the Volney Rogers committee of the chamber of commerce wus named and public suggestions for the*form of the memorial were called for.Mr.Rogers, an attorney In Youngstown 47 years, loves the country.He explored Mill Creek valley, and when the valley's forests were being despoiled for lumber and its natural cliffs for stone, Mr.Rogers became active and personally procured options on more than 500 acres now included within the park.He then obtained legislation permitting the purchase of parks by townships and purchased $25,000 bonds needed for the project.Mr.Rogers lives near the park.His father, James Rogers, was one of the pioneers of Columbiana county, and the Youngstown attorney was born near Rogers, a town bullt on land owned by Theophilus Rogers.1O000000000600000600000600 x HEADS MOVE FOR MEMORIAL BUILDING Mrs.Philip N.Moore of St.Louis, Mo., president of the National Coun- cll of Women, is taking

Elmendorff, said to be the oldest practicing dentist in Amer fica, celebrated his ninetleth birthday at his home In Penn Yan, N.Y.Doctor Elmendorff is the son of the late Dr.James Elmendorft, one of the first dentists to open an office ln western New York.When nineteen vears old Charles entered the office and worked continuously at dentistry.Practically all of these 70 years have been passed at Penn Yan.When Doctor Elmendorff began working the art of filling teeth was unknown.All he did for years was to extract teeth that could not be pulled at home by the use of a string.Later, however, when the sclence of treating teeth advanced, he was called upon to learn and employ new methods.The aged dentist is in excellent health and can be found in his office every day.Mourning Cast Aside.Relatives of Mrs.R.P.Baker of Paris, Tex., the other day put away their mourning while making arrangements for her funeral.Following a report from Stratford, Okla., that she was dead there, another message came saying Mrs.Baker \u201csuddenly came to life.\u201d Physicians had pronounced her dead, but later discovered she was breathing.It is now believed she will recover.Commissions to

Local materials are still cheaper than those from a distance.They al- 80 \u201cweather\u201d better, besides looking more suitable.Slates, for Instance, are jarring and out of keeping in clay districts.And where stone is avall- able, bright red bricks offend nature as well as the neighbors.Forty per cent of the cost of a house is spent on walling.A legitimate means of saving in this direction is to reduce the height of buildings.This can be done without taking away from the floor area, which Is so important.Moreover, lofty rooms are not neces sarily healthler than low rooms, for tall windows and other kinds of ven- tilatlon cun easily be provided.And the lower a cottage Is and the more spreading its lines, the more picturesque will it be.TO FIGHT MOLES AND MICE Effective Protection Must Be Given Trees if One Would Have Them Live and Flourish.Hoe away all weeds and rubbish under trees.Leave the soil clean and well firmed from the trunk to slightly beyond the spread of the branches.Mound about the trunk slightly.Scatter poisoned baits In mouse runways, near entrunces to burrows, mole runways and in trash piles apt to harbor mice.Be thorough.Poisoned sweet potato baits are quite effective and keen well in contact with soll except when there is danger of freezing.Pol- soned gralos are also good.Cut sweet potatoes into pieces about the size of grapes.Pluce three quarts of fresh- y cut baits in a pan and wet with ater.Drain off the water and slow- 1y sift from a pepper box one-eighth ounce powdered strychnine (alkaloid preferred) mixed with an equal weight of baking soda.Stir constantly to distribute the poison evenly.An ounce of strychnine will poison a bushel of cut bait.Keep all polson contafhers plainly labeled and out of reach of children, irresponsible persons and live stock.Remember, clean cultivu- tion, where practicable, will keep mice fn check.In sod or sod mulch orchards make mouse fighting a systematic annual practice.Proper Housing Important, Many think of housing ns something which concerns only great cities.Res- {dents of smaller cities and towns read reports of high buildings, covering the ground completely, with dark, unven- titated rooms, crowded with lodgers, and then think of one-story cottages, or, at most, two or three-steried dwellings of their own cities, and thank God they are not as New York or even as Chicago.It doer not do to be too sure that the home town has no dark, unventilated rooms, no house that is a breeder of tuberculosis.1'have seen in several of the smaller citles of the Middle West conditions that make nearly ns good horrible examples fn there respects as any that I have seen in Chicago.But doubtiess it is true that more bad housing of the kind mentioned can be seen in a ten-minute ride on a Chicago clevated train than in a month's survey of smaller communities by the most keen-sighted observer \u2014Exchange.Billboards Go In Los Angeles.Southern Californin's metropolis 18 fast becoming a blllboardless city, ace cording to reports submitted to the elty council.and advertising signhoards standing last June, 840 have heen removed in compliance with the new ordinance forbidding such advertising in the residence section.A few remaining boards are left hecause of a difference of opinion over the wording of the law, but it 18 expected that these will be eliminated.The signs to which the majority of the populace objected totalled six miles of apace.Determined opposition had to be overcome before the great placards finally were temoved.Of the 927 billboards\u2019 NEW YORK MADE RAT TIGHT Phrase Means That Enemy Agents and Sples Were Driven From Great | United States Port.\u2014 \u201cThe port of New York is rat tight.\u201d This Is the phrase

enemy, to come or go out of this port without being detected by the vigilant eyes of Uncle Sam's guardians, a New York Pittsburgh dispatch states.More than 75 per cent of the immense volume of munition shipments sent from the United States to Europe passed through the port of New York, which has been the most important war port in the world.Moreover, it has been the main gateway through which travelers have passed either in going to allled or neutral couutries or coming from such countries to the United States.Because of this volume of travel and traffic New York has been the spot from which enemy agents have worked most assiduously to send .Informition and supplies to enemy countries.And it is because of these conditions that It has required more force, more determination and constant scrutiny to afford the protection which the vast interests centering here have received.The best evidence that these con- ditlons have been adequately met ls found in the motto of seamen quoted above: \u201cNew York is rat tight\u201d It sums succinctly the full measure of value which has been rendered to allled nations by an agency of the government which has worked so quietly here that many citizens even have not known of its existence.This agency ts the customs Intelligence bureau, organized at the beginning of last year by the collector of the port.Up to the time that America entered the great world war persons desiring to travel abroad found no trouble in leaving the United States.But with the opening of the war the customs branch of the government became an agency of grave importance, And the work they have accomplished without any question has saved many lives and millions of dollars.Glacier Climbing In U.8.Thanks to the \u201cSee-America-firat\u201d movement and the difficulties of European travel due to the war, many Americans are finding out that they can have all the thrills of seeing and climbing glaciers without paying the Swiss innkeepers and guides a stiff toll.Right here in the United States easily accessible but little known gla- clers show the awe-inspiring crevasses and wonderful changing colors that one who has ever had first-hand experience with these slow moving rivers of ice can never forget.Among the national parks easily accessible by railroad, that furnish the sport of glacler climbing, are Glacier park and Rainler national park.It is Alaska, however, that offers the de luxe glacier sightseeing.This little known land not only has the largest Jaclers\u2014big enough to make Switzerland's pride look Insignificant\u2014but also the most easlly accessible, In fact, during the summer season the excursion steamers run right up to the face of the glaclers that descend to salt water, and thread their way In among the bergs that have broken off.One of the sights along the seacoast is that of the iceman hitching hls gasoline launch to a baby berg and towing It to a convenient place to cut out his supply.\u2014Fred Telford, in Popular Mechanics Magazine, Name It.Shall the man or the woman who on- erates a tractor be known as a tractor- ator, a tractorist or a tractioneer?That Is a question an answer to which 18 desired by

the Industry is heing stabilized and permanent terms of expression are needed, Farming, In Its relation to tractors, has apparently been set forward a good ten years by the war.Tractor production has outstripped th» training of operators.Every farm boy was brought up to manage a horse, but this big steel beast must be handled in quite a different way.State tractor schools provide a short cut for turning out tractor operators, whatever they are to be called.\u2014Christian Sclence Monitor.Superior Knowledge.A young man was walking through a wood with a gun over his shoulder and his bag full of game which he had shot.He was not satisfied\u2019 with what he had, and was looking for more, when an excited man with a large tin badge on which was inscribed the one word \u201cSheriff\u201d came running up to him and demanded: \u201cHaven't you seen the signs which 1 put up on the trees in this woods?\u201d \u201cOh, yes, 1 saw them,\u201d answered the young man; \u201cthey sold \u2018No

lish Harem, It is a curious fact that while women of the lower classes in Slam have always enjoyed the greatest freedom, participating\u2019and competing with men in the business and pleasures of life, the hdles of the royal household have been kept in the background, appearing at only the most private social gatherings and never at public or official functions.As all former sovereigns had in their harems the cream of the aristocracy of the country, and, as they inevitably felt a hesitant chivalry about exhibiting thelr \u201cwives\u201d in public, they barred all women of rank from sight.The sovereign is expected to have in his harem a member of every influential family in the country, for it is considered that in no other way could he be in such close touch with the people of hig kingdom.Polygamy has, therefore, been considered an obligation of royalty.But, curl ously enough, the present reigning monarch 1s a bachelor, the first and only bachelor who has sat upon the throne of his fathers in twenty-five hundred years.And thereby hangs a tale, for marriage by a Siamese sov- erelgn has meant not the simple taking of one wife, or a dozen, or even a mere hundred, but the wholesale adoption of a thousand or more.The young king's father and his father's father, and each of the long line of kings preceding them, had many wives.His father had between seven and eight thousand.And, when the young crown prince returned from his long stay in Europe\u2014he had passed a third of his life there\u2014he was told by his royal father that there had been selected for him a number of court beauties from which he could take his choice of a hundred or two for his harem.But the prince would have nothing to do with this wholesale acquisition of a husband\u2019s holdings.\u201cWhen I marry,\u201d he declared to his astonished father, \u201cit will be to one wife and to no more, and she shall be the one queen of my heart and the one queen of my realm.\u201d \u2014From \u201cThe Land of the White Elephant,\u201d by Frederick Dean, in Asla Magazine.Couldn\u2019t Be Discouraged.There are croakers in every country, always boding its ruin.Such a one then lived ln Philadelphia; a person of note, an elderly man, with a wise look and a very grave manner of speaking; his name was Samuel Mickle.The gentleman, a stranger to me, stopped one day at my door and asked me if I was the young man who had lately opened a new printing house, Being answered In the affirmative, he sald he was sorry for me, because it was an expensive undertaking, and the expense would be lost; for Philadelphia was a sinking place, the people already half bankrupt, or near being so; all appearances to the contrary, such as new buildings and the rise of rents, being to his certain knowledge fallacious; for they were, in fact, among the things that would soon ruin us.And he gave me such a detall of misfortunes now existing, or that were soon to exist, that he left me half melancholy.Had I known him before I engaged in this businéss, probably I never should have dope jt.This man continued to iive in this decaying place, and to declaim In the same strain, re fusing for many years to buy a house there, because all was going to de- structioh ; and at last I had the pleasure of seelng him give five times as much for one ag he might have bought it for when he first began his croaking.\u2014Autoblography of Benjamin Franklin.Strategic Advantage.A major, attired in his raincoat, was crossing the parade ground one rainy morning when a young medical officer, hastening toward shelter, came past and saluted without slowing down.\u201cWalt there R imninute, lieutenant,\u201d called the major.\u201cNever salute when at the double time.Strictly agalnat regulations.\u201d With that the major launched out upon à long lecture on the significance and value of the salute, while the lien- tenant, now standing stifily at attention, was drenched to the skin.A few days later the major was afflicted with toothache and sought the services of a dentnl surgeon.As he reclined in the chair, he thought he detected a peculiar expression of sat- {staction on the young dentist's face.\u201cLook here,\u201d he said suddenly.\u201cHaven't I seen you before?\u201d \u2018Yes, sir,\u201d was the answer, \u201cyou were speafing tp me the other morning about saluting\u2014 \u201cGreat Scott!\u201d yelled the major, leaping from the chair and starting for the door, \u201cI've had some close calls in my time, but never anything to compare with this one.\"\u2014Judge.Envious Cat.Mrs.Portleight (loftily)\u2014Oh, yawss, I'm having a town car manufactured to order.Mrs.Skalpell\u2014You have my sincerest sympathy, my dear.But, honestly, you don't
