The greatest happiness of all it that which comes from making othert happy. If youhappen to be from Wisconsin this is one of the finest football years on record. A Seattle boy of twelve has a crop of whiskers. A precocious little shaver, as it were. Rabbits experimented upon with coffee died. Now try oysters and hap and eggs. Science has yet to devise a way to close the railroad switch that ought not to be lets open. The ancient Egyptians used parasols. But that had nothing to do with their complexions. ri We suspected a long time ago that those Turkish cigarettes would get the Turks, sooner or later. Emperor William of Germany has a clock that speaks the time. Time is money, and money talks. Another aviator knifed shows that the lure of the air is as potent as before Its tragedies began. “Be a Bulgarian," said a housewife, as she sent her husband out in the yard to beat a Turkish rug. . .... ~... A New York physician says there are several varieties of death. Most people are satisfied with one. Physicians are aiding an antl-nolse crusade in Baltimore. And 'Baltimore Is the home of the oyster. With irreproachable eggs selling at six cents each iL New York It might be cheaper to buy the whole hen. A New York man, whose salary Is $5 a week, has been sued for SIOO,OOO by an actress. He must be her husband. Beef, evidently, is soaring in England. An aviator has been y fined there for running into a cow and killing It Angels may fly but they cannot fly unless their wings are 15 feet long. We have the word of a great aviator for this.

Aeronauts are known in China as the “sons of Heaven.” In the sense, probably, that they may be angels before long. A Brooklyn man of elghty-two married again a week after being left a widower. Evidently figured he had no time to lose. ■Germany reports that the stork la fast disappearing. Perhaps that accounts for the reason why Berlin leads In race suicide. A Chicago judge has decided that $1 a day la not enough for a man to give to his wife. Probably 99 cents would look better to her. A Mississippi editor, when he put on his winter suit found a roll of bills amounting to SSO. Wonder if any of them had been paid. In Tldahom, Sweden, 3,300 people are employed in making matches. A matrimonial agency would stand no show at all in Tldahom. A Louisiana farmer killed a cow last week and found a darning needle In its stomach. Evidently, the cow found the needle In the hay stack. Unmarried men are more prone to Insanity than married men, according to a government report And they haven’t half the worry, at that Chafing dishes have been found In the ruins of Pompeii. Now we know why the people of that city failed to be alarmed by volcanic upheavals. "The finest fur coat in the world, worth $35,000, is owned by the wife of . a tobacco magnate." And parr haps this isn’t a pipe dream, either. An East Orange divine got the brides mixed when performing a double wedding and caused no end of a row. A case of being double crossed. “A St Paul man became intoxicated on $2.” The odor and appearance of some $2 bills are enough to indicate that they can do worse than that

Speaking of military aviation there can be no doubt that the unexpected success of the allies put the whole concert of Europe up In the air for a time. . That elector who proposes to establish a precedent by voting for a woman as the Republican candidate for vice-president may be paying her a dubious compliment. DoeaJie know that to be eligible she must confess she is thirty-five years of age? A man arrested In New York for theft claimed to be a grandson of Commodore Perry. Men who plead for clemency on the ground of belonging to families of heroes should be punished all the more for disgracing ilustrious names.

SEEKS LOST NIECE

New York Millionaire Offers Fortune in Search. a Miss Marian Ege, Relative of Wealthy Manufacturer, Disappears After Telling Uncle of Being Followed By a Strange Man. New York.—With a declaration by Jacob Doll, millionaire manufacturer, that he will spend an unlimited amount of money to recover his fif-teen-year-old niece, Marian Ege, who disappeared while walking near her home, police of New York and a score of private detective agencies began an exhaustive search of New York and neighboring cities ftr the missing heiress. Following the girl’s disappearance, the police began a quiet search, but were unable to unearth a single clew except that the girl had spoken to a friend of being followed on the street by a strange middle-aged man. After two, days of fruitless efforts by the New York police, Mr. Doll ordered into the search a number of private detectives and made the statement that he believes that his niece had been kidnaped. The statements of Miss Ege’s friend that the young woman had told her of being followed have been corroborated by Mr. Doll. The aged millionaire said that on numerous occasions reaching back over a period of several months his niece had remarked to him that a middle-aged man, whom the young woman could only hazily describe, had followed her while walking in the neighborhood of her "home, and on one occasion had attempted to attract her attention. Since the search was taken up Mr. Doll has kept in touch almost constantly with the police. As the search continues and no tangible trace of what has become of the young ,woman is discovered, the aged millionaire reiterates his determination that every power that can be controlled by his vast fortune will be turned toward finding the girl. The policy have carefully questioned many of the young woman’s friends, but so far none has been able to give a hint that promises to clear up the mystery of Miss Ege’s lUappearanca Several possible explanations are being entertained by the police and every angle is being Investigated. It is thought that Miss Ege may have been taken ill and that she now lies, with her identity unknown, in some New York hospital. Friends of the young woman's family in neighboring cities are being communicated with in the hope of ascertaining if Miss Ege, without knowledge of her own family, had gone to visit them. The main energies of the search, however, are centered pn learning the worth of the clew offered by the young woman’s previous statements that she had been followed by a stranger. It is well known that Miss Ege was a favorite niece of her wealthy uncle, and it is hinted by police officials at work on the case that the young woman is being held for ransom by some individual or gang in New York City.

Burro Robs Mens' Nests.

Gilcrest, Colo. —Napoleon, a young burro, owned by Edward Mapes, has been proved a robber of hens' nests. Its second visit to the same henhouse resulted in its downfall. The owner lay in wait and discovered the burro was the offender and was eating eggs, first smashing them with a hoof.

OPENING OF SHORT SESSION OF CONGRESS

HAS COWCATCHER FOR AUTOS

Instead of Catching Animals It Rescues Persons While Traveling at High Speed. London. —An Inventive genius has been giving demonstrations in Regent’s park with a contrivance, fitted to the front of an automobile, which appears to be an elaboration of the cowcatcher on locomotives, but with the essential difference that it is intended to safeguard the unwary pedestrian, no matter if he happens to get in the way of a car traveling at 20 miles an hour, a The apparatus consists of a bar between the front wheels, covering the entire front of the car, and as soon as this strikes a pedestrian it springs back and a scissors shaped jaw grasps the person struck, under the knees, forces him to sit down in a net, and holds him until released. A member of the Motor club thus describes what he saw of the test: "I was walking along the path with a chauffeur, when the man suddenly left me and started to run across the road. A short distance away a motor car was coming along the road at a speed of at least 20 miles an hour. The car dashed straight into the man, but, instead of knocking him senseless, picked him up and carried him ten or fifteen yards until the car stopped. I ran forward, and when I reached the man he was sitting in the apparatus laughing, without a single scratch. “The only persons near, besides those interested in the demonstration, were two women, who screamed when they saw the man hit. Their surprise when they saw him released from the automatic fender and laughing at the incident may be imagined.”

FEE AMUSES MAYOR GAYNOR

Executive of New York City Sympathizes With Young Man Married by Alderman. New York.—Mayor Gaynor sent this reply to a letter he had received from Kai Brodersea of 200 Fifth avenue, complaining that an aiderman who married him had charged S2O for the service: “I have received yjur letter complaining that an aiderman on marrying you the day before at his house demanded S2O of you as his fee, and that you paid him, for the reason that It would have mortified you too much to make a protest in the presence of your bride and other ladies who were present Of course the aiderman committed a great outrage and he no doubt knew that you would pay him sooner than dispute with him openly. He had no right to charge you anything. I receive many letters of a similar kind. My advice to you all is to go to clergymen U> be married, and then you will be treated properly. I do not mean to say that all of the aidermen would treat you as this aiderman did, but unfortunately some of them would. ’ You say It was all the money you bad with you, and that you expected to use it for Immediate expenses with your bride. I certainly sympathize with you. If some one had held you up on the street and taken It away from you it would not have been worse. You may sue the alherman to get your money back, but if you do he will no doubt say you made him a voluntary present of the S2O, and—who knows?—the judge may believe him.” It was said at the office of the mayor that the aiderman referred to was Aid.

OLD MANTEL FOR JOHN D., JR.

Son of Magnate to Have One a Hundred Years Old In Hallway of His Mansion. New York. —A century old marble mantelpiece from one of the oldest colonial houses still standing in New York city is to be the feature of the entrance hall in the mansion which John D. Rockefeller, Jr), is building on West Fifty-fourth street. The mantel is of French workmanship and was brought to America by the Schermerhorns, a noted New York family, to adorn their home overlooking the East river, near where the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research now stands. The house was later bought by Dewitt Clinton, then governor of New York state, and has been used as a day nursery since the Rockefellers acquired the property.

BUFFALO KILLS CAMERA MAN

French Court Sustains Widow's Claim for Compensation for Loss of Husband. Parts.—An important point of law was settled this week when the widow of Paul Flere, a photographer for cinematograph pictures, sued for compensation, her husband having been killed in Central Africa while taking pictures of big game shooting. Flere was sent to Africa a year ago, joined a German mission and went out shooting with Lieut. Graetz. While he was operating the camera Graetz was charged by a wounded buffalo, whereupon Flere left the apparatus and went to the rescue of the officer, again wounding the buffalo, which then trampled him to death. The widow was awarded an annual income of $124 for herself and $216 for her three children.

WALKOVER DEAO MAN’S BODY

Weddlng'Party Not Halted by Corpse After Flower Carrier Is Shot Down. Johnstown. Pa. George Miluski was a member of a bridal party that went sweeping down the street .at Ralphton, Somerset county. He was a flower carrier. Frank Llesba was also a member of the party. He was a pistol shooter, it being his business to make lots of noise, signifying joy. Mary Fleck and Walek Kwasbnlc were the happy bridal pair. Miluska, the flowei carrier, got in the way of Liesba, the pistol shooter. One of the pistol shots that signified joy killed him. His flowers dropped out of his hands as he tumbled into the street As he was leading the procession it was necessary for the rest of the party to step over his body it they kept right on going. That was what they all did. Mary and Walek were duly married without any further trifling interruptions. In the return from the church the bridal party picked up the dead men. The joyful pistol shooter hunted up a constable and surrendered and some one picked up the carrier’s flowers and placed them on the table to adorn the wedding breakfast

New Ruling for National Banks on Investments

Comptroller Murray Deckles First, Mortgage Real Estate Bonds are Legal Investments.

8. W. STRAUS, President S. W. Straus <fc Co., Mortgage and Bond Brokers Chicago and New York

A decision of vital importance to the west, according to Chicago financiers, has been made by Comptroller Murray of the currency in Washington. He has given permission to national banks to invest in bonds of all classes and has removed the restriction formerly made against several types of western securities. First mortgage real estate bonds are now legal investments for national banks, although these banks could not purchase ap undivided mortgage. Such bonds are often Issued in western cities to finance the construction of large new buildings, and building operations in many western cities will be greatly benefited by the comptroller’s ruling. The safety of this class of bonds has led many state banks and insurance companies to purchase them in large amounts and national banks are now to be admitted to this market. S. W. Straus, president of S. W. Straus & Co., mortgage and bond brokers, Chicago and New York, explained the comptroller’s ruling and its benefits to the west. "I regard this ruling as one of the most important developments in recent years for the prosperity of the Mississippi valley region,” said Mr. Straus. “There are several classes of perfectly safe bonds issued in the west which for a long time had been denied lack of recognition by the eastern national banks. The comptroller’s ruling removes this bar, and will give safe western bonds, bearing 5% to 6 per cent. Interest, a much wider market in the east and, in fact, in all portions of the country than ever before."

AN EYE TO SPARE.

Father —Be careful how you shoot that arrow this way. You’ll put out my eye and then I can’t write any more. Earlie (as he kept on shooting)— Why, can’t you write with one eye?

Merely an Amateur.

A man who lives much at hotels had some odd experiences during the strikes of- the waiters in New York find Boston. On the morning after the strike was called In New Yoi*k he ordered boiled eggs in a New York hotel. The managers had hired all applicants for jobs at waiting, and the one who took this boiled egg orjjgf was a toughpersoh.' He brought the eggs, came over and leaned on the back of the patron’s chair and said: “Say, cul, kin I shuck them eggs fer yez?” In Boston the waiter at breakfast was a big, burly person who seemed unfamiliar with the work. The man at breakfast ventured a mild protest. “Aw, ferglt it!” said the waiter. I ain’t no waiter. I came up here to be a strike-breaker in the truckmen's strike."—Saturday Evening Post.

Never Liked Oats.

Frenchmen have never liked oats; doctors have urged them to try the national dish of the Scotch, but they haye politely refused. But one group of Frenchmen could not escape; this was a company of the One Hundred and Twenty-eighth infantry, * whose captain Insisted that his men should eat oatmeal, pgrridge for a month. He had the oatmeal toasted to Improve the taste. To their surprise, his men found that after ’a month of maneuvers they did not have a single man on the sick list, while other companies had as many as a dozen. They have made up their minds that oats are not so bad after all.

It’s the easiest thing in the World to go from bad to woree.

CANADA WEEK INCHICAGO

CANADIAN EXHIBITS AT LIVE STOCK AND LAND SHOWS CENTER OF ATTRACTION. j The hats were doffed to Canada during the two weeks of the Land Show and the week of the Live Stock. Show at Chicago. Willing to display its goods, anxious to let the people of the central states know what could be produced on Canadian farm lands, and the quality of the aVicle, Hon. Dr. Roche, minister of. the interior of Canada, directed that sufficient space be secured at the United States Land Show, recently held, to give some adequate idea of the field resources of western Canada. Those in charge had splendid location, and installed one of the most attractive grain and grass exhibits ever seen anywhere. Thousands, anxious to get “back to the land,” saw the exhibit, saw wlieat that weighed 68 pounds to the measured bushel, oats that went 48 and barley that tipped the scales at 55 pounds. The clover, the alfalfa, tljp wild pea vine and vetch, the rye giass, the red-top and many other succulent and nutritious varieties of wild grasses demanded and deserved from their prominence and quality the attention they received. The grain in the ystraw, bright in color, and carrying heads that gave evidence of the truth of the statements of Mr. W. J. White of Ottawa, and his attendants,'that the wheat would average 28 to 35 bushels and over per acre, the oats 55 to 105 bushels, the flax 12 to 28 bushels, were strongly in evidence, and arranged with artistic taste on the walls. The vegetable exhibit was a surprise to the visitors. Potatoes, turnips, cabbage—in fact, all of it proved that not only in grains was western Canada prominent, but in vegetables it could successfully compete with the world. One of the unique and successful features of the exhibit was the successful and systematic dally distribution of bread made from Canadian flour. It was a treat to those who got it. Canadian butter, Canadian cheese and Canadian honey helped to complete an exhibit that revealed in a splendid way the great resources of a country in which so many Americans have made their home. A feature of the exhibit was the placards, announcing the several recent successes of Canadian farm produce and live stock in strong competition with exhibits from other countries. There was posted the Leager Wheeler championship prize for Marquis wheat grown at Rosthern in 1911, beating the world. Then I. Holmes of Cardston entered the competitive field at Lethbridge Dry Farming Congress, and won the wheat championship of 1912, beating Mr. Wheeler with the same variety of wheat HHI & Sons of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, in 1911, won the Colo* rado silve/ trophy for best oats grown, competed for in a big competition at Columbus, Ohio, in 1911. The produce of British Columbia at the New York Land Show in 1911 carried off the world’s championship for potatoes, andincidentally won a SI,OOO silver trophy, and then, but a few days ago, the same province carried off the world’s prize for apples at the Horticultural Show in London, England. But that was not all. These Canadians, who had the temerity to state that corn was not the only feed for finishing high-grade beef cattle, entered for the fat steer championship at the Live Stock Shqw in Chicago a polled Angus—“Glencarnock Victor.” Nearly 300 entries were in the field. “Glencarnock Victor” didn't know a kernel of corn from a Brazilian walnut. There were lowa, Illinois, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin and their corn-fed article, determined to win, bound to beat this black animal from the north, and his “nothing but prairie grass, pats and barley feed,” as his owner proudly stated, but they didn’t. Canada and McGregor & Sons, with their “Glencarnock Victor,* won, and today the swelldom of America is eating of his steaks and roasts —the champion steer of the world. But once more the herd of cattle that won the Sweepstakes at the same show waß„buML*»4ownetJby the owners of “Glencarnock Victor,” fed only on prairie grass, oats and barley, near Brandon, Manitoba. The royal reception given to Mr. McGregor on his return to his home town was well deserved. Omission must not be made of the wonderful and beautiful display of apples made by British Columbia, occupying a full half section of the great Land Show. This was in personal charge of Mr. W. E. Scott, deputy minister of agriculture for that province, who was not only a host to those who visited the exhibit, but was also an encyclopedia of Infomation regarding the resources of that country. With 200,000 Americans going to western Canada this year, it is pleasing to know that so many from this side of the line can participate in the honors coming to that new country.—A d vertisement A pretty girl will turn a man’s head In spite of the boil on his neck.
