As a usual thing, a knock doesn’t make a hit Time to begin to save up for that summer vacation. Is it woman’s dress that needs reform or the theory of dress? All the dandelion asks is a bare chance. It doesn't need any eneouragement In the bright lexicon of modern youth there is "no such word like unto "kale.” Still, you cannot Induce automobtlists to admire that fable of the tortoise and the hare. With the best of onions at three cents a pound will there be enough calf’s liver to go around? Funny none of these lunch counter proprietors have ever hit upon the Tdea of serving hasty pudding. Minnesota has a man who traveled S7O miles without clothes, but that was carrying dress reform too far.

If irate golfers slew every distracting dog that crossed the green, one would truly say they never sausage links. Capture of that aeroplane destined for use in the Mexioan war doubtless saved the life of at least one aviator. Doctor Friedmann’s use, of turtle serum has as yet produced no perceptible effect upon the terrapin market. Time for the kids to be displaying that two fingered sign \yhich inevitably leads to a plunge into the river. When we lose a shirt in a Chinese laundry we can readily understand why so many of these Celestials are named Li. A Paris court decided that singing Is not a cause for divorce. Yet it is ttonceded that in many cases it is intolerable cruelty. • According to breezes from Broadway. the proper form of salutation twixt darkness and daylight is not “so long” but “oolong.” Thief steals silver buckled shoe from New York girl’s foot while she was jammed in a subway train. Why, certainly, a footpad.

Steak and up-to-date eggs are two requisites demanded by the housemaids’ union. The employers may yet have housemaid’s knee. Still another British lord is to marry a beautiful and clever actress It looks as if the British stage would yet prevent the nobility from dying of ennuL Cold storage, a Philadelphia orrator explains, has kept butter and eggs reasonable prices the past winter. What does he consider reasonable, anyhow? One kind of a male flirt is the man who puts an extra nickel in the telephone box because he mistook “cenIral’s” politeness for response to his ’’kidding.” Corsets to reform fallen women, Is declared a necessity by a Chicago woman. As a matter of fact, corsets ire supposed to re-form all those who wear them CverybQdy will agree with Doctor r Osier that twenty-four hours is enough of a day for ajiy man.

Judging by the pictures of the merry populace in Russian scenes. there»must be about two of them. “One Who Knows" assures us “It’s a dry moon.” “Old Farmer.” on the contrary, says it Is a wet moon. Of these two evils, you don’t have to choose either. A veteran of the Mexican war in California wants to get married No wonder this is such a great country with so much young blood keeping up with the times. Flow to get rid of old tin cans is a big municipal problem, says an exchange. Must be a scarcity of either small boys or dogs. A "vocational analyst" says millionaires give too late in life. ‘He might have found that to be one reason why some of them are millionaires. A doctor says talking less and listening more keeps one young and good looking. Probably explains why some wives look so much older than their tnisbands.

WIFE, PECK’S TUTOR

Professor Again Is Learning Things Lost Through Illness Oivorced Spouse Says She’ll Restore Him to Present Mate When He Again Is Normal —His Mind Is Slowly Recovering. New York.—Mrs. Cornelia Dawbom Peck, divorced wife of Professor Harry Thurston Peck, Is making a desperate effort to nurse her former husband back to mental and physical health, through prayer and constant attention. In order that she may restore him to his present wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Dubois Peck. Mrs. Peck, the first, is drawing freely upon the money she received from her former husbandL In the form of alimony to aid in restoring his health Mrs. Peck and her former husband, at one time one of the leaders in the faculty of Columbia university, arrived

at a little bungalow in Greenwich, t'ove, South Beach, Conn. Recently the first wife of Professor Peck rushed to his bedside when she heard he was dying in an Ithaca hospital. “When I reached the hospital the death rattle was in Professor Peck’s throat. His physicians said be could not live more than three days “For 19 days I remained at bis bedside, determined to break the overpowering ego which dominated him. From the pitiable wreck which I found him, his mind a total blank, and bis body so emaciated that the looked like a I have nursed him to a point where he is nearly whole of body, and relearning like a

child, the things he lost through the unnatural philosophy with which he was oppressed. “I never have met Professor Peck’s wife. She may come here and visit him a little later, but she must tell me, so I can go away. I feel sorry for her, and I have asked Dr. Frederick Crane to assist her—not so she can help her husband, for I shall provide for him until he Is fully restored to health. Then I shall return him to her.” Professor Peck presented but. a shadow of his former self as he slowly followed his former wife about the apple orchard of their little temporary home. “What time Is it, dear?” asked Mrs. Peck, in a soft tone. “A quarter before 6,” answered Professor Peck, and his face lighted up with the expression of a child who has learned a new lesson. “That’s right,” said Mrs. Peck, “but how is the reading lesson coming along?” Then the first Mrs. Peck opened a black leather-bound book and the former Anthony professor of Latin read slowly and with the hesitancy of a child: “God is In Heaven; all is right with the world.”

ENGINE VIOLATES ROAD RULE

Number 6431 Misses Trip Owing to Stop Made at Saloon In Cleveland. Cleveland. —Engine 6431 did not take the Big Four passenger train to St. Louis because it stopped off at P. S. Berry’s saloon on West Eleventh street on its way to work. Railroaders on the Big Four are not allowed to patronize saloons* on duty, so 6431, having transgressed the rules and lost out on its run, just stayed in the saloon. No. 6431 couldn’t come out anyway without the three-story brick building falling in. Finally the engine was yanked out by another locomotive and the saloon building fell in a heap of wreckage. John Kilroy was injured and taken to the hospital. His wife and daughter were thrown from their beds and slightly hurt.

GIVE ALL WOMEN BALLOT

New Law in Norway Will Add 200,000 Names to the Voting List. Christiania. Woman suffragists throughout Norway are rejoicing today over the unanimous report of the constitution committee of the Storthing favoring the proposed new electoral law, giving the franchise to women on the Bame terms as it is granted to men. The measure, which will add about 200,000 women to the total number of Norwegian voters, will almost certainly be passed, it is said, by the Radical majority in the Storthing. Women of this country have, since 1907, possessed municipal and limited general suffrage. The new bill probably will reduce the age limit from twenty-five to twenty-one.

WHERE KAISER IS SUPREME

EmperQr's Power as Commander o( Germany’s Armed Force* Absolute.

Berlin.—While as to ordinary affairs the kaiser 1b subject to the law in the same manner as his humblest subject. there is one department in which his power is practically absolute —his poWer as commander in chief of the empire’s armed forces. His supremacy in this regard has just been reaffirmed by a Judgment of the Kammergericht affirming the judgment of a provincial court in an action brought to protect a patent right. Eight years ago the kaiser issued an order directing the introduction of saber carriers attached to cavalry saddles. A Berlin inventor declared the saber carriers to be an infringement of his patent, and that they

Kaiser Wilhelm.

could not be used without his permission, and he brought an action for damages and an injunction against the carrying out of the imperial order. A provincial court found against him, and the Kammergericht has af* firmed this judgment. The Appellate court declared that, irrespective ol whether the patent be infringed or not, the plaintiff has no standing and that the kaiser in issuing any order concerning the equipment of the army is exercising his supreme military power, and hiß orders are not subject to any law, nor .can any court act in derogation thereof.

Just Like a Man.

A man suffered from inflammatory rheumatism, and his wife nursed him patiently. He had a vary fault-finding disposition, but she was very patient and also very fond of him. After an especially severe attack, a friend called to inquire after him. The patient wore a mournful expression. ‘'Well,” said the friend, cheerfully, ‘‘how are you today?" “Very badly,” replied the rheumatic sufferer, “and it’s all my wife’s fault.” “Why,” cried the friend in astonishment. “Is it possible?” “Yes,” moaned the invalid, “you know, the doctor told me always to avoid damp places; and there my wife sits and cries just to make the air moist around me.”

Valuable Beetle Now.

Not long ago a Washington scientist, an enthusiastic student of natural history, captured a fine specimen of beetle. On reaching home he, in a moment of haste, pinned the beetle to a library table with his diamond scarfpin. When he returned to the library from his dinner, he found the captive had got loose and was flying about with the diamond pin glistening from his back. Man and bug made a rush for the window at the same instant, says Harper’s Weekly. The beetle got there first ,and triumphantly sailed away, barely eluding the scientist’s hand. Neither bug nor pin has since been seen.

Ringing a Change.

“Goin’ to move again this year?” asked the office pest. “Nope. Can’t afford to.” “What cha goin’ to do, then?” “Well,” said O’Beetle, “we’ve made arrangements to have new street numbers put on the houses on our block.” —Judge.

“LIKE MAGIC” New Food Makes Wonderful Changes.

When a man has suffered from dyspepsia so many yearß that he can’t remember when he had a natural appetite, and then hits on a way out of trouble he may be excused for saying “it acts like magic.” When it is a simple, wholesome food instead of any one of a large number of so called remedies in the form of drugs, he is more than ever likely to feel as though a sort of miracle has been performed. A Chicago man, in the delight of restored digestion, puts it in this way: “Like magic, fittingly describes the manner in which Grape-Nuts relieved me of poor digestion, coated tongue and loss of appetite, of many years standing. , “I tried about every mejncine that was recommended to me, without relief. Then I tried Grape-Nuts on the suggestion of a friend. By the time I had finished the fourth package, my stomach was all right, and for the past two months I have been eating with a relish anything set before me. That is something I had been unable to do previously for years. “I am stronger than ever and I consider the effects of Grape-Nuts on a weak stomach as something really wonderful. It builds up the entire body as well as the brain and nerves.” Name given by the Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. “There’s a reason,” and it is explained in the little book, “The Road to Wellville,” in pkgs.

TENDERFEET WIN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

HILL AND BONB, THE OAT CHAMPIONS, ARE COCKNEYS BORN AND BRED. -

City-bred 4n the world’s greatest metropolis and untrained as to things agricultural, were J. C. Hill and his three boys when they settled on homesteads at Lloydminster, In the Province of Saskatchewan (western Canada), eight years ago. Today they are the recognized champion oat growers of the North American continent, basing won twice in succession the silver challenge cup, valued at $1,500, at the Fifth National Corn exposition, Columbia, S. C. • The Plate, officially known as the Colorado Oat trophy, is emblematte Of the grand championship prize for the best bushel of oats exhibited by individual farmers or experiment farms at. these expositions. • The Hill entry won this year in the face of the keenest competition, hundreds of exhibits being sent by experienced farmers from all parts of the United States and Canada. The oats were grown on land which was wild prairie less than four years ago. s When Mr. Hill and his three Bona, who probably never saw a wider acreage than the hills of Hampstead Heath, or the parks of London, came to Saskatchewan eight years ago, they had little more capital than was required for homestead entry fees. They filed on four homesteads, in the Lloydminster district, which straddles the boundary of* Alberta and Saskatchewan. They went to work -with a will, ripping the rich brown sod with breaking plows and put In a crop, which yielded thir returns. They labored early and late and denied themselves paltry pleasures, glad to stand the gaff for a while in rising to their possibilities. They talked with successful farmers and studied crops and conditions and profited by both. The new life on the farm was strange but they never lost heart, handicapped as they were by lack of experience and capital. The farm house, modern in every respect, compares favorably with any residence in the city. The Hills have substantial bank accounts and their credit is gilt-edge from Edmonton to Winnipeg and beyond. “There 1b nothing secret about our methods nor-is our plan copyrighted. We first made a thorough study of climatic conditions, soil and seed,” said Mr. Hill. “We tended our crops carefully and gradually added live stock, realizing from the beginning that mixed farming would pay larger and more certain returns than straight grain grovAng. We have demonstrated that fact to our satisfaction and the result is that many of the farmers iu the district are following our example.” The land that the Hills work is of the same class as may be found anywhere in Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta.—Advertisement.
