slightly from the truth and her husband will look-upon her with reproach, not to say stern anger. Much depends upon which one is telling the fib. Many a wife thinks it is no harm to tell her husband she pays so much for the family upkeep and clothes, when in fact site has managed to save quite a little. sum by,heii shrewd bargaining, salting it down for a rainy i

Most of European Rulers Have Also Become Monarchs In the World of Business

Royalty does other things than ruling. In tlie business world many of Europe’s crowned heads are said to have achieved notable success, the following examples of which are pointed out by a writer in Tit-Bits: The king of Spain is the proprietor of a lhrge motor and bicycle factory near Madrid. The kaiser runs a case at Potsdam, close to his castle gates. He also receives InTgc dividends from a lager beer brewery in Hanover; and he is ■tiw snip owner of the big and flourishing porcelain works at Cadinen, which return him a profit of about 9 per cent on a capital of $500,000. King Peter of Servia owns a shaving saloon and chemist’s shop in Belgrade. Before the war, his majesty was the agent for a well-known French motor car. The queen of Holland supplies from her dairy, near the palace at Het Loo, a large proportion of milk consumed by buyers in Amsterdam. Before the war the king of Wurttemberg drew a net profit of at least $50,000 a year from the hotels lie owned in tlie Black Forest. The beautiful queen of sorely stricken Roumania started, a fewyears ago, a factory for manufacturing toothpicks. So successful was this enterprise before the war, that her majesty was able to make quite a comfortable income out of it. The czar of Russia is a timber merchant. The duke of Ulrich of Wurtitemberg owns one of the largest corset factories in tlie world. The grand duke of Snxe-Weitner is a butcher. Archduchess Frederick of Austria invested nearly $2,500,000 in a candleTrmking factory near Budapest. The 1-In;- of Denmark confines his commercial ventures to the stock exchange,

Dictates of Fashion.

“"Bright- red cherries, artificial of course, nestle in long-haired fur neckpieces and muffs. Vest effects, whether developed ns a part of a suit, coat or frock, continue to lie favored. Satin continues to be chosen for many of tlie' smart afternoon dresses and It is likewise seen in combination with doth. Among the unusual umbrellas is one of Scotch plaid. Its rib ends are finished in long tips which seem to be of tortoise shell. The handle is of natural wood. The edict has gone forth that skirts are to he much longer. Moreover, it is said that the whole motif in dressing Is to be different—artistry in design and long flowing lines being emphasized. So far empire lines for outer apparel have been pretty generally confined to garments for misses, adult women wisely ' acknowledging the straight line or normal waist garments as their best selections. The vogue for the empire style Is being tried out in the development of negligee and lingerie garments, this help g on e of the fa vorite suggestions for night gowns and many of the popular combination garments. • The bathing suit of silk velvet, said to stand the water splendidly, is one of the novelties of the season ; but the real mermaid girl will still find on the market many good-looking examples of that fine standby, the jersey suit.

Wise and Otherwise.

Ileal success consists in j achieving satisfactiifti. Some men have courage only j when they lose their tempers. , Fools throw kisses but the j wise men deliver them in per- j son. Favors are seldom satisfactory. The best way Is not to need them. Great men do much for others and take it out in posthumous fame, A vivid imagination often even more dangerous than a little learning. When Adam and Eve put on fig leaves they organized the first style show. *, Getting up iu the morning is a struggle for those people who do not make It worth—whileTravel often broadens a man’s mi ml ami also his girth, if lie can afford to stop at first-class j hotels.

The early sitting hens should have warmly made nests lined with tine hay or something of that kind. The hen can furnish only a certain amount of warmth, and if that is overcome by the cold that gets in from the outside, the eggs cannot hatch well.

TWICE VICTIM OF U-BOAT, HE QUITS SEA

San Francisco Youth Has Had Enough of Excitement for, a While. WILL TRY TO FORGET WAR Met His First Submarine in the Mediterranean and Hl® Second in Irish Sea—No Warning Given Either Time. Boston. —Joseph Barnett of San Francisco, late second saloon cook aboard the Baron- Ogilvy, is only twenty. But twice he has been the victim of a submarine. Young Barnett met his first submarine in Uie Mediterranean a year ago, his second in the Irish sea last January. Now he’s on his way back to San Francisco, where the war seems far away. No more of the sea for himr he says. until - the war’s over. He shipped first, when he was fourteen, as a galley boy aboard a Union Line boat plying between Vancouver, San Francisco and Australia. Four years later found him second saloon cook aboard the Medic of the White Star line, , bound from Liverpool to Mediterranean ports and the Antipodes with a general cargo. This was in February of last year. They had been 15 days out and were somewhere off Sicily, Barnett_ thought, though out of sight of land, "when a torpedo put au emphatic period to their progress. Never Saw Submarine. “We never did see the-submarine or the torpedo,” he “said. “It was about dusk, and the sea was fairly smooth. I was cooking in the galley when she hit us. There was an explosion in the engine room which wined out the whole watch below—about a dozen of them —and tlie ship lurched 1 to starboard suddenly and all the dishes, and pans went sliding. The cook and I rushed up on deck, unil so did the rest, but we were ordered back. ■ “ «it’s Ttfr Ttgtrt;"Tads,’ the~captain said. ‘Don’t lose your heads. Go back. It’ll be all right now.’ “But she began settling down at tlie stern, and soon we were told to take to the boflts. ftTOOk ten millutes to lower them —there was no trouble—and then wo pulled away and laid by until she went down, stern first, half an hour later. A French torpedo boat picked us up and we were landed in Marseilles the next morning.” Six months later he shipped aboard the Baron Ogilvy of the Baron line, out of Glasgow, again bound for Australia. And he made the passage there and back to Liverpool on her, with no unusual incident to mark either voy-

age. It was after his ship had discharged her cargo of frozen mutton at the latter port and was on her way to Barry, on the Welsh coast, to loud with coal for the British fleet, that lie met with his second and greater adventure. For at noon of the next day the stern lookout made out a periscope sticking its tiny head about six inches above the waves in the wake of the ship. He gave the alarm, and part thfr crew was aet to work immediately swinging out llie lifebouts., '"Almost all the rest were ordered below to help Hie stokers crowd on steam, -Meanwhile the gun crew-manned the 13-pounder at the stern, and the captain started his distress rockets soaring. But neither stern gun nor rockets brought results. And with all the extra stokers the Baron Ogilvy could make not. more than 11 knots. The submarine discharged her first torpedo at 12:15, and missed. Then, to get into better position, she 6 rose to the surface, and in the course of the chase circled the freighter two or. three times, diving and rising like a grealporpoise. _. Thought They Had . Lost Her. The Ogilvy appeared fielpless. While the submarine, whether submerged or awash, was racings ahead of her or abreast of her, her stern gun could not be brought to bear on its target. The captain steered a zigzag course, evekedging toward shore. The submarine discharged another torpedo abput three •‘clock, and missed again.

Then for a while she was no longer seen. The crew of the Ogilvy thought they were free of her. Their gun crew had fired 83 shots, all the ammunition they had. About five o’clock, to their consternation, the submarine rose from the sea on their starboard bow and started shelling the Ogilvy with both deck guns. The freighter was only about three-quarters of a mile off shore by this time, and Captain Thompson beached her, while the submarine lay off half a mile and continued her shelling. Both masts of the Ogilvy, her wireless house and her funnel were carried away, but the only human casualty aboard her was a leg wound suffered by one -of the gunners. The battle speedily attracted the coast guard ashore, which brought out artillery and drove the enemy off. Two days later the Ogilvy ivas pulled off the rocks and Into a floating drydock. Her crew made their way to Barry and were discharged. Young Barnett shipped on the Leyland liner Anglian, at London, February 3, and landed in Boston twe week»4aterr-

FAILURE TURNED INTO A VICTORY

Capture of Bagdad Marks Climax of One of jilost Dramatic Phases of War. / ' _ ONCE FIRST CITY^IF WORLD Known History of City Reaches Back to Shadowy Times of Nebuchadnezzar—Story of Failure of Townshend. London. —Bagdad's capture marks the climax to one of the most dramatic and picturesque phases of s war. The eity’which has fallen*to British arms links the present to a past so distant it is semi-fabulous. Tlie known history of Bagdad reaches back for more than four thousand years to the shadowy , times of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, a quay built by the sprlpturnl monarch still existing, submerged in the Tigris. Within its precincts also there still stand the tombs of the Jewish prophets, Joshua, Ezra, and Ezekiel, and the well of Daniel.

Long after the Babylonian dynasty had ceased to be more than a memory Bagdad rose to splendor as the artistic, literary, scientific, and religious* capital of the world. The heart of the great Islamic empire of the caliphs for hundreds of years, it was known throughout the world as "the Glorious City,” and was the scene of the fantastic exploits of Haroun-al-Raschid, the potentate whose magnificence Is Immortal izedint he Arabian Nights. "Price Had 2,000,000 Souls. In 800 B. C. Bagdad was credited with a population of 2,000,000 inhahh tants, and was easily the first city iu the world in wealth and commerce. With the fall of the caliphs before the Turkish sultans, the decline of Bagdad commenced. It was successively the prey of Turks, Mongols, Tartars, and Persians, but it was not until 1638 that the city became definitely a part of the Turkish empire.

Its ancient importance was largely due to the fact that it stood at the center of the lines of communication between India am> Persia and the west, but the opening of new routes by way of Trebizond and through Armenia diverted its trade and was a vital factor In Its decline. The British campaign against Bagdad was opened early in 1915 when an Anglo-Indian force under Maj. Gen. Charles Vere, Ferrers Townshend was landed at of the Persian gulf and moved rapidly up the Tigris. General Townsbeiui commanded a force of about 40.000 men and at first lie pushed forward with amazing speed. Early in June, 1915, he captured Kut-el-Amara, about 250 miles from the mouth of the Tigris and 100 miles from Bagdad On the 22d of the following November he reached Ctesiphon, 20 miles from his gogl, where he was attacked by an overwhelming force of Ottoman troops. His water supply gave out ahd lie Was forced to retreat. Fighting a continuous rear-guard action, the British expedition regained TTnt-ei-A mai n on December- -s.—Here General Townshend determined to make a stand with a portion of hts forces and entrenched with nbout 10.000 men, while tlie remainder of his troops continued to fall back along the Tigris in order |o join hands with tha relief army that was hurriedly dispatched froffi France anjL India after the defeat at Ctesiphon.

-' ./ Relief Comes Too Late. For three months Gen. Sir Percy Lake, the relief commander, fought his way up the Tigris and was within eight miles of his besieged comrades when on April 13, 1916, General Townshend, his food supply exhausted, was compelled to surrender. In the meantime additional re-en-forcements had been sent from Egypt. But after the disaster at Kut-el-Ainara, the British abandoned the offensive for several months. The resumption of British operations on a major scale did not occur until December, 1916, when an advance on Kul-el-Amara was made from the Babylonian plains, while a second force again moved up the Tigris. Gen. Frederick Stanley Maude was In command of the new campaign and was unofficially reported to have 120,000 men at his disposal. From the time of the opening of the new campaign the British progress was steady and uninterrupted and. in its last phases, of-remarkable rapidity.

WIFE SUBS FOR PREACHER

Takes Place of Tired Husband to thq| Pleasure of an Overflow Congregation. Chicago. —Most married men hear sermons and are glad they are delivered ip private. But Rev. O. Fairies Jordan, pastor of the Evanston Christian church, probably is ‘lbne of the few men who ever sat back In peace and comfort, listening to a public preachment by their wives. Mr. Jordan faced the task of a “double-header” after a week of nightly sermoning. He was , aweary. His wife sympathized. 8 “I'll take your place in the pulpit this evening,” she offered. She did, not only to friend husband's satisfaction, but to the pleasure of an overflow congregation. '
