Duncan Albert Watson CAP and BELLS WAS DEPENDING ON FUTURE Structure Farmer Was Building Would Be Bungalow If He Found Tenant, Otherwise a Barn. The conversation had turned to the subject of fads and fancies, when this anecdote was recalled by Congressman Robert H. Gittins of New York: Some time ago a delegate from the metropolis was motoring through a country district when he came to a farm where some men were at work on a building operation. Stopping at the farm for water the motorist engaged in conversation with Uncle Josh. "I see," remarked the former, pointing to the new building, "that you are making some improvements." "Yaas," was the indifferent rejoinder of Uncle Josh, "a leetle mite that way." "I was looking at the building as I came by," continued the motorist. "What do you call it?" "Well," slowly answered the farmer. "if I find a tenant for it, it's a bungalow. If I don't, it's a barn."—Philadelphia Telegraph. And That Clinched Matters "I can't see why you keep proposing to me. I am sure you can win some more beautiful woman to be your wife." "But I think ugly women make the best wives." Constant Alarm. "My wife gets nothing but appre hension out of life." "How so?" "She's afraid of cows in the coun try and automobiles in town." Time to Move. "Uncle Tom's Cabin' has earned over $5,000,000." "Is that so?" In that case the old man ought to be able to afford a bungalow by this*time."—Puck. Loveless Love Marie—Oh, I am. I love him as a barber loves a bald-headed man with a full beard. The Result. "What will happen to all the people who have lost their living from the mouth-and-foot disease?" "I guess they'll have to take a hand-to-mouth living." "Why isn't there more news from the Russian end?" "I guess it's because the war stuff writers don't know how to spell the names." PROOF. Oliver Moore Her Mother—Are you sure Tom really loves you? Ethel—Yes'm. He took me to the baseball game yesterday, and he answered pleasantly every question I asked him about the game. "Do you think love in a cottage could be lasting?" "Oh, yes, if it's the white stone kind of cottages they have at Newport." A Compromise. "Do you keep playing that mechanical piano because you like music?" "No. The footwork is easier than walking, and the doctor told me I must take exercise." "That second marine officer seems to be very explosive in his conversation." "Ab, well, you know, he is a submarine." MR. MUGGINS LIKED HIMSELF Justly Deserved Rebuke He Received From Stranger Who Had Greeted Him Cordially on Train. Old Muggins had a great opinion of his own importance, principally owing to the fact that he had started life with half a dollar, though how he had managed to raise the first 50 cents was a fact he had never divulged. One day in the train a gentleman got in and directly he saw Muggins, smiled and shook him warmly by the hand. "Why, bless my soul! How are you?" he exclaimed. "Glad to see you looking so well and prosperous now!" The cheerful stranger, being of a somewhat seedy appearance, Muggins thought he had better assert his dignity a bit. "I don't know what you are talking about, sir! I have never seen you before in my life!" quoth he, swelling under his waistcoat. "I beg your pardon, sir, I'm sure!" answered the stranger. "I have evidently made a mistake and must apologize for complimenting you on your appearance, which was a mistake made in the heat of the moment. If there is anything else that I said I was glad about I can only say I am sorry for it! Good morning, sir!" Denied Them. "Pa, what is meant by "divine af- fatus?"" "It's a high-sounding name for en- thusiasm, son, the kind of enthusiasm that people who dig ditches and do other rough work don't know any- thing about." "How do you like your new English butter?" "He's a gem. Positively refuses® to recognize me when we meet outside the house." The Reason. "Don't ever argue with a dictionary expert." "Why not?" "Because he has such pronounced opinions."

ILL AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS How to help colored children in the public schools toward a more hopeful future than present social conditions promise them, was discussed by educators, welfare workers, and city officials at a conference held April 29 at 180 East Twenty-second street, by the Public Education association. The association recently issued a report or "Colored School Children in New York," prepared by Miss Frances Blascoer, which, made after a careful investigation, outlines the needs of the 90,000 Negroes in the city, and gives specific recommendations for improving the conditions under which they live. This report was the basis of discussion at the conference. Miss Eleanor Hope Johnson, chairman of the committee on hygiene of school children of the association, says in the introduction to the report: "We are constantly learning, through the interpretation by sympathetic students of various races of immigrants, the several ways in which these allens may contribute to our national life; and each discovery, especially in the different fields of art, is halted with joy by constructive patriots. Surely it is time for the Negro to be considered in the light of a national asset, and his loyalty, patience, sympathetic kindness, and artistic instinct be counted on as real contributions to our national welfare. "The report gives few, perhaps no, recommendations that would not apply to the children of other races. Where the application is more true in regard to colored children it seems to be largely because of this lack of equal justice in the cases of their parents. Race weakness appears, but this could easily be balanced by the same or similar weakness in other races. Given an education carefully adapted to his needs and a fair chance for employment, the normal child of any race will succeed, unless the burden of wrong home conditions lies too heavily upon him. Any philanthropic effort for the encouragement or improvement of these children, to be successful, must take into account their peculiar virtues—affection, loyalty, home-loving spirit—not their defects. It is this conclusion of the report which applies to colored children more than to the children of any other race, and should make them easier rather than harder to help in their climb upwards. Our country has a very real debt to pay, and it can be paid only by helping these children to find for themselves the place in our nation which shall contribute most to their own and its development.—New York Evening Post. Among the Negroes of the country there has, in late years, developed an increasing tendency toward home ownership, a marked increase in the percentage of school attendance, a pronounced decrease in the percentage of illiteracy, decrease in the mortality rate, and an increase in the proportion of church membership. From 1790, when the Negro population was numbered 757,208, it increased to 9,827,763 in 1910, when the last census was taken. Since 1810 there has been a continuous decrease in the proportion which Negroes have formed of the total population, due, at least in part, to the fact that the white population has been continually augmented by immigration, while there has been very little immigration of Negroes during the past hundred years. The largest Negro population in any state in 1910 was that of Georgia, Why is the death rate among Negroes, in northern cities and southern cities alike, almost twice as great as among whites? At the last census the average death rate in the 57 registration cities was 15.9 per thousand among whites, while among Negroes it was 27.8. In the North the ratio was roughly 15 to 25, in the South 16 to 29. Taking those degeneracies that have a nervous origin or that come from high living, the ratio among whites was greater, but in tuberculosis and pneumonia, the plague of both races, the havoc among Negroes preponderates enormously. What are the reasons for this hideous disparity? The reason, as everyone may guess, is the poverty of the Negro. The death rate stands in almost fixed relation to housing conditions, and it is clearly proved that as home ownership increases, the death rate diminishes. In the degree that Negroes remain economically inferior, their portion will not merely be social hardship but a vastly greater share of physical suffering and mortal disease. It is these hard facts that make race prejudice so base. The only prejudice that figures The last stage of Vienna was made by the Austrians themselves. This was in 1848, when, during the Hungarian revolution, Vienna fell into the hands of the insurgents, who were dislodged only after two days' bombardment. Kukul nut oil is a valuable Hawaiian product and is in demand in the paint and varnish trade. It has been shipped to the United States from various pacific islands for the last 75 years. 1,176,987. In that year Mississippi and South Carolina had a Negro population exceeding that of the white, and in each of fifty-three counties, scattered throughout the states of Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, South Carolina, Georgia, Arkansas, Florida and Tennessee, at least seventy-five per cent of the total population was Negro. Of the southern states West Virginia had the smallest percentage, 5.3. In the period of 1900-1910 the greatest gain, both numerically and proportionally, in this class of population was shown by Birmingham, Ala., whose Negro residents increased to the number of 35,730, or to the surprising per cent of 215. The country as a whole indicated that illiteracy among this class is gradually being reduced, it being shown that between the ages of six and twenty slightly over forty-seven per cent were attending school, a large gain over previous reports. Virginia had by far the largest percentage of Negro-owned homes, while Mississippi ranked first in farms. Deaths caused by malaria, tuberculosis of the lungs, other forms of tuberculosis, pneumonia and whooping cough are relatively more numerous among Negroes than among whites; while the mortality due to measles, scarlet fever, diphtheria, cancer, appendicitis, diarrhea and violence (including suicide) is noticeably higher among whites. Editor of the Washington Herald: In the Herald of April 20 appears a notice to the effect that the body of Leut. Beverly Perea, U. S. A., brought from Cambridge, Mass., was the first colored officer to be buried in the Arlington National cemetery. This statement is not correct, as the bodies of both Dr. Alexander T. Augusta, surgeon, Seventh U. S. C. infantry, surgeon in chief of Freeman's hospital, and for many years a practicing physician in this city, and Capt. O. S. B. Wall of this city have been buried in the Arlington National cemetery, for many years, both being buried in the officers' section, with monuments standing over their graves; the former officer's grave is close to the gate and the latter not far removed therefrom. In addition to these two officers of whose burial I have personal knowledge (and there may be others of whom I have no knowledge) there are hundreds of colored soldiers buried in Arlington. The records at Arlington will confirm the facts as stated. Believing that it is the purpose of your paper to publish only facts, I am calling your attention to this matter that it may be corrected.—Hamilton S. Smith. In compliance with his dying wish, Lieut. Beverly Perea, U. S. A., retired, who died in Cambridge, Mass., recently, was buried in Arlington national cemetery—the first colored man to be buried there. His wife and daughter accompanied the body to Washington. Several of his friends in the city attended the burial. That he might be buried in the national cemetery at Arlington was the wish expressed by Lieutenant Perea shortly before his death. His widow communicated this to Secretary Garrison of the war department through Major Curley, with the result that permission was given. New York has about 700,000 school children. like these should induce is prejudice against a poverty which is literally more pestilential than war.—New Republic. President Wilson, through Secretary Garrison, has officially complimented the officers and enlisted men of the Ninth and Tenth cavalry (colored) for their work in patrolling the Mexican border line to enforce the neutrality laws of the United States during the fighting between the Carranza and Villa forces. Several American soldiers were wounded during the engagements between the Mexican forces! "By direction of the president," says Secretary Garrison, "I take great pleasure in expressing to the officers and enlisted men of the Ninth and Tenth cavalry his appreciation of their splendid conduct and efficient service in the enforcement of the United States neutrality laws at Naco, Ariz., during November, December and January last." The Ninth cavalry is at Fort Douglas, Ariz., and the Tenth cavalry is at Fort Huachuca, Ariz. Willie D. James of Bethlehem, Ky., owns a plow which has been handed down from his great-grandfather.

It is said of Mrs. Lemuel Wigg that she is as good to old people as she is to hobbes. TO STEADY AIRSHIPS New Balancing Device of Practical Value. Ordinary Wheel Control Enables Pilot to Correct Any Unusual Tilting Caused by Sudden Gusts of Wind—How It Operates. Walter H. Phipps, widely known as an aeronautic designer, has obtained a patent on a new balancing device, applicable to any biplane or aeroplane. The device consists of an aileron, or hinged section of the main plane, at each wing tip. The hinge or joint is parallel with the line of flight. The aileron is set at a rising angle to the wing surface, and in that position, the inventor states, it will correct any ordinary departure from the normal horizontal position of the aeroplane caused by varying air pressure, thus giving inherent stability up to a certain point. To correct any unusual tilting caused by strong gusts an ordinary wheel control with connecting wires enables the pilot to shift the ailers. In this operation the aileron on the low side is thrown flat, extending the length and sustaining surface of the depressed wing. Simultaneously the aileron on the rising wing is thrown upward, shortening the wing, giving it less sustaining power and thus correcting its rising tendency. The aileron thus raised also acts as a nearly vertical stabilizing fin for the time being, preventing any tendency to a side slip. It is admitted that an increase of resistance to flight amounting to about 5 per cent results from the use of the ailers at ordinary speed. For fast NORMAL POSITION USING AILERON IN ABNORMAL TILTING MACHINES THIS PERCENTAGE Would be reduced by reducing the angle at which they are set, less correction being necessary to balance the wings in such a craft. On the other hand, it is urged that the alerons solve the problem of stability in ordinary conditions with much greater efficiency than is possible by means of such devices as breaking the main plane at the center so that the entire surfaces of the wings are set at a dihedral angle with tips rising. Women's Common Heritage. Out of the many stories of the war comes one that, in its simplicity, is as eloquent as any could be of what this struggle means to those who stay at home. A correspondent who added to his keen quest for news an avoid eagerness for souvenirs approached a woman who was standing forlornly by the roadside, an evident refugee. "Have you any souvenirs of the war?" he asked, his curio-gathering instinct overcoming his human sympathy. Dryeyed, the woman looked at him and in a voice betraying no emotion but the utter weariness of transcending grief she answered: "I have the grave of my son." There are thousands of such souvenirs scattered over France and Belgium, throughout Poland and Galicia. The hearts of the women of Britain, of France, of Belgium, of Germany, of Austria, of Russia and of Serbia have this common heritage. Dog Watch Movies Latest. There's a large and steadily growing number of people in New York who are afflicted with insomnia only at night. And in order to keep them up until the milkman comes around we are going to have a moving picture house where the performance begins at midnight and lasts until it is time to go home for the milk and rolls. It will be a regular dog watch movie or 10-cent Pullman, as they are called. There will be nothing to prevent tired tangoists who are afraid to go home in the dark from stealing a few minutes sleep between reels, but special policemen will be on the job to prevent anything else from being stolen. With nearly one-third of New York up after midnight the management believes it will fill a long-felt want.—New York Times. Congestion In New York. Persons who object seriously to the transportation services of Chicago, to the congestion at rush hours, the crowding, pushing, and similar inconveniences, might regard the problem in New York and then call themselves blessed. The New York subway was built for 400,000 people a day. It really handles under popular protest as high as 1,200,000. The tenants of the Woolworth building alone would fill every train moving in one direction in the subway during a half hour. There are 300 passengers a year in the subway for every man, woman and child in New York city. The subway carries more passengers in a year than all the steam railroads in the United States.

Agler, lately deceased, had occasion to go to a hardwood lumber yard at Cairo, where he and Fred W. Upham were in business. The floods had caused some annoyance by depositing mud from the Ohio and Mississippi rivers on the planks in storage. Mr. Agler was not long in compiling a crew of negroes to wash the soiled stock. Various ones were assigned to hold the planks and there was a job for one man to hold the hose. "Who is going to take charge of the hose?" asked the proprietor. A long black man uncolled himself.

Okla., writes: "I was troubled with Backache for about twenty-five years. When told I had Bright's Disease in its last stages, I tried Dodd's Kidney Pills. After using two boxes I was somewhat relieved and I stopped the treatment. In the spring of the next year I had another attack. I went for its last stages. I tried Dodd's Kidney Pills. After using two boxes I was somewhat relieved and I stopped the treatment. In the spring of the next year I had another attack. I went for Dodd's Kidney Pills and they relieved me again. I used three boxes. That is now three years ago and my Backache has not returned in its severity, and by using another two boxes a little later on, the palm left altogether and I have had no trouble since. You may use my statement. I recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills when and wherever I can." Dodd's Kidney Pills, 50c, per box at your dealer or Dodd's Medicine Co., Buffalo, N. Y.-Adv. The Heroines of Novels. If I were his satanic majesty, and a novelist came to me for judgment, I should beetle my brows in a horrible manner and quiz him thus: "Did you ever make your heroine eighteen years old? Did you ever endow a maiden with the repartee of Pinero, the intuition of Blavatsky, the carriage of Garden, the hauteur of the Medici, the beauty of Aphrodite and the wisdom of Athene—all at the age of eighteen years?" If the novelist answered me "Certainly not!" I should say: "To heaven with you!" But if he answered; "Sure I did!" I would blast him where he stood. For, of all the iniquitous, fallacious, unfair and dangerous doctrines, this takes the icing of the cake—that the female species reaches her apogee at the immature age of eighteen—From "Balm for Lovers," by George Weston in the Saturday Evening Post. Youngest Iron Cross Winner The youngest "knight" to be decorated with the Iron Cross in Germany is Alfonso Koberle, who is only thirteen and one-half years of age and who, for that reason, will have to wait two and one-half years before the decoration will be actually pinned on him, says the Boston Post. Koberle is the son of a laborer. Owing to his powerful build he was readily accepted among the volunteer bicycle men. His agility and his ability to adjust himself to his environment specially fitted him for patrol duty, and he developed special skill in the discovery and observation of hostile positions. INSOMNIA Leads to Madness, if Not Remedied. "Experiments satisfied me, some 5 years ago," writes a Topeka woman, "that coffee was the direct cause of the insomnia from which I suffered terribly, as well as extreme nervousness and acute dyspepsia. "I had been a coffee drinker since childhood, and did not like to think that the beverage was doing me all this harm. But it was, and the time came when I had to face the fact, and protect myself. I therefore gave up coffee abruptly and absolutely, and adopted Postum for my hot drink at meals." "I began to note improvement in my condition very soon after I took on Postum. The change proceeded gradually, but surely, and it was a matter of only a few weeks before I found myself entirely relieved—the nervousness passed away, my digestive apparatus was restored to normal efficiency, and I began to sleep restfully and peacefully. "These happy conditions have continued during all of the 5 years, and I am safe in saying that I owe them entirely to Postum, for when I began to drink it I ceased to use medicines." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. Postum comes in two forms: Postum Cereal—the original form—must be well boiled. 15c and 25c packages.

(Copyright, 1915, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) When the village hack turned the corner of the road and shut from Ninian's eyes the last glimpse of Rosebank cottage it seemed as if the world of happiness had been left behind. Around the bend of the road lay the home that had given Ninian birth, and its roses had wattened into her brain the poetic fancies that had begun to express themselves in the form of vivid color sketches. In fact, Rosebank was home to the girl who was forced to leave it in order to seek a market for her art. And home to Ninian meant all that was worth having in life. "I will come back and buy Rosebank in two or three years," she told herself through her tears; "surely one will want my isolated little cot and get it away from me before I can earn enough money to purchase it." Had Ninian possessed even the smallest income she would never have left the place that had become home to her, but her parents had left nothing. With their going she had been left alone, and Rosebank with all its dear memories and associations must be temporarily abandoned while Ninian traveled the road to fortune. However, the girl was not given to vain regrets, and it was with high hopes and an ever-present dream of her ultimate ownership of Rosebank that she went into the world of struggles. She found others working with great visions leading them on, but none, she felt, had so wonderful an incentive as she. None of them had a tiny rose-hung cottage and a garden that boasted every variety of 'rose that grew on Long Island. In her mind, Rosebank was already her own, and Ninian was not unhappy. It did not for a moment occur to her that anyone else longed for the cottage as she herself did. Had she known that Robert Goodwin had pounced upon the vacated cottage like a hungry cat upon a mouse, her struggles would have been bitter instead of sweet. But Goodwin had taken Rosebank, and his furniture had been moved in a scant few days after Ninian's had gone out. He had a three years' lease with the option of purchase. His hobby was the cultivation of roses, and he had eyed Rosebank through three long years waiting patiently until it should be vacated. Each day he had skimmed by on his motorcycle. The day a sign "To Let" had met his eye was one of the most joyful in Goodwin's life. He was not deterred from taking the cottage, isolated though it was, because his faithful motorcycle bridged and distance. The quiet and seclusion and the wonderful views from the cottage windows, as well as the old rose garden at the back, would have lured him had the place been ten miles instead of three from the station. Ninian's work in the field of art progressed with flattering haste. She saved every penny earned and called it her home lodging fund. In the beginning she had gone without lunch in order that the fund might increase the more rapidly. One year crawled by, a second slipped by, and the third drew to a close. It was almost three years to the day when Ninian sailed for home richer by many thousand dollars and a splendid name in the world of art. She had won a great prize in the Paris school at the close of her third year. She recognized the fact that home longings with Rosebank in the joyfully near future had been her incentive and inspiration that had given her the coveted prize. She was returning now to buy back the cottage. She had scarcely set foot on American soil before she went out to Long Island and took the walk from the station that led through the chestnut woods to Rosebank. Fear clutched her heart when she saw smoke issuing from the chimney when the cottage was barely discernable in the distance. As she drew quickly near her worst fears were realized. "My cottage! It is occupied!" Ninian cried half aloud and the tears squeezed from her closed eyelids. "If some horrible person has bought Rosebank, I don't want to live any more," she told herself. Determined to find out that it was not only a caretaker she continued her way. The perfect care the roses were having told her enough. She walked slowly around her loved home, touching the rambler-hung fence that guarded it. Ninian was weeping and the tears trickled down her cheeks unheeded. Life was a weary pilgrimage to her, for the one haven in the world that she longed for had been taken from her. For three long years she had looked forward to the day when she could rest her body and soul in the tiny, rose-clad cottage and draw in the fragrance of it all. Her spirit, she knew, had dwelt there while she was in Paris, but now she and her soul were intruders. She turned away and walked blindly back to the station. Robert Goodwin, looking out of his casement window, had seen Ninian. Her hungry eyes gazing longingly at the rose gardens had sent a swift emotion over him. "Toe art must have some irish blood tragedy in her life," he commented. "I never saw a pair of eyes so sorrowful." He went about his pruning and clipping and caring for the roses, but Ninian's eyes haunted him. She seemed still to be walking sorrowfully around and around the outer side of the fence. So vivid was the girl's picture in his mind that he thought he was dreaming of her the next day when, looking up, he saw her quite close beside him, sitting on the old well at the foot of the rose garden. Her head was bowed in her arms and Goodwin knew from the shaking of her body that she was weeping with complete abandonment to her grief. He hardly knew whether to go quietly away and let her have her cry out or whether to attract her attention and do his best to comfort her. His dog had solved the question by going over to the weeping girl and slipping his long, cool nose up beneath her arms. Goodwin swallowed the lump in his throat when he saw the girl's fingers draw the dog's head close to her. Creature comfort was instinctive in the animal, but he himself had lacked the initiative. He coughed delicately and the girl looked up. Her eyes were starry and tear-wet. Goodwin knew that he was going to fall in love with Ninian, and he worded his thoughts accordingly. "Please confide in me," he said softly. "I will do anything in my power to allay your suffering. Tell me your troubles." He added the last word in so soothing a voice that Ninian smiled through her tears. She liked Goodwin at first sight. "It is only that I have slaved for three years to come back and buy my old home. I have longed for it and wept for it, and now—" "But you can buy it," Goodwin lied gibly. "I am moving out next week. The place doesn't exactly suit my needs." Never had he expected to see such glorious light in any woman's eyes. Never had he lied more gladly. On the morrow he would see the man from whom he had but yesterday bought Rosebank and have the transfer made without the girl knowing it. Ninian had jumped up and without thinking slipped her fingers into Goodwin's. "You have given me all the happiness in the world!" she cried, excitedly. "Not quite," Goodwin said dryly, for in his mind he saw himself courting Ninian in the rose gardens and giving her a far greater happiness in love than she was getting in th' lonesomeness of her cottage. "And I was quite right," he said to her some three weeks later, "wasn't I?" "Yes," Ninian answered softly, "and I think I realized at the time that you were going to give me this happiness, too." The roses in the garden nodded. Students of monumental inscriptions must often have observed, with the ordinary vice of inappropriateness, the want of variety of which Wordsworth spoke in his "Essay Upon Epitaphs." Ranging from Whitman to the Siamese Phra Ruang, there is no such deficiency in those at the Panama-Pacific exposition. But in seeking variety does not the far West stultify itself a bit. One series is harmlessly historical, commemorating the discovery of Panama in 1501 by Bastides, its crossing by Balbou, the discovery of California and the founding of Mission Dolores, and like events. The Court of Four Seasons quotes merely a California upon western nature, with Spencer's well known characterization of jolly summer and autumn all in yellow clad. But in paying tribute to great literary figures the exposition does equal honor to six occidental and six oriental nations. If visitors are moved by the beauty of the passages from Kalldasa, Hitomaro, Zuhayr and Firdaus to make some further acquaintance with these writers, San Francisco will have surpassed Chicago and St. Louis. To find a region so violently anti-Asiatic as the Pacific coast inscribing on its walls Japanese lays, and Chinese philosophy is new evidence of the potency of cosmopolitanism. "Movie" Now Accepted. A moving picture magazine recently submitted to nearly 1,000 newspaper editors the question as to whether the word "movie" has obtained a sufficiently established place in our language to be used without quotation marks. More than 500 of them replied affirmatively, while only 220 expressed the opinion that the word was still on probation, a few declaring it ought to be abolished. The word has probably come to stay. It is indicative of a certain American simplicity and directness that "movie" should have found popularity in this country whereas in Europe the current word is "cinema." The old world stuck to the original Greek derivative name of cinematograph, and the public shortened it. In America we preferred moving picture—a name requiring no translation of the multitude. Blacksmiths or Gardeners First? The other day a blacksmith was arguing with a gardener as to which was the first trade in the world. The gardener said it was gardening, and quoted from Genesis: "Adam was put into the Garden of Eden to till it." "Ah," said Pat, who had stuck up for his own trade. "Who made the shades?" METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE. METROPOLIS. IL Death Lurks In A Weak Heart WOOL GROWING IN CANADA A SUCCESS This By-Product of the Farm Will Make Many Western Canada Farmers Rich. Alberta wool growers are looking for 25 cent wool this year. That is the assertion made by a prominent sheepman of the Grassy Lake district. "It is quite within the pale of possibility that we will receive that figure from our wool this summer," said he, "and I would not be surprised to see some get more than that. "The war has caused a great demand to be made on the woolen mills, and they have got to have the raw material." The present season has been most propitious for the growing of wool, and the growers expect to reap a big harvest of a splendid quality. The winter has been very even, and the sheep are doing well on the ranges. No special breed of sheep is kept on Western Canada farms, and all seem to do well. The advice of those interested in the welfare of the farmers of Western Canada, advise all who can at all do so to enter upon the raising of sheep. They have proved most profitable to those who go into that industry on a scale commensurate with their means, and their farm area. The climate is perfectly adapted to the raising of sheep, they are easily kept, and as pointed out, there is good money to be made out of them.—Advertisement. A Quibble. John B. Stanchfield, the lawyer, was discussing in an interview in New York the case of his client, Harry Thaw. "But objections like that," said Mr. Stanchfield, "are mere quibbles. They have no real bearing on the case. Like the farmer's wife, they only confuse and embroil matters. "A sickly farmer said to his husky wife one spring morning: "I see by the papers that a woman down Paint Rock way goes out every morning and hoes with her husband. "Well, what of it?" the wife answered. 'She could do it easily enough if he's as thin as you are. I've often thought of using you to peel potatoes with.'

"Oh, Mr. Hero, I'm so glad to see you safely back from the war. Sit right down and tell me 'all about it. I'm awfully interested. Wasn't it simply terrible over there? And did you really live in the trenches for weeks at a time with shot and shell screaming all around you? I don't see how you could stand it. Were you ever hit by one of those forty-two centimeter guns? I mean by the bullet, of course; not by the gun. But then, of course, you weren't, or you'd have your arm in a sling or something. Who do you think is going to win? I suppose I shouldn't ask you that, though. You soldiers are not allowed to tell military secrets, are you? Did you ever really kill a man yourself, or don't you know? My uncle, who was in the Spanish war, says you never can tell whether it's your bullet or somebody else's that hits the enemy. I should think that would be awfully annoying. Not that you want to know that you'd killed a man, but still you'd like to know whether you're wasting your ammunition or not. Oh, must you go so soon? I wish you would stay longer. I've been so interested in hearing your adventures. Call again soon, won't you? Good-by." A Minority Report.
