YES, THEY WERE IN THE WAR

Kaiser Might Have Remembered Being Introduced to Americans at Chateau-Thierry. The first American to meet the kaiser at Amerongen was Sergt. James McAdams, formerly marine redrulting officer in Cleveland. Sergeant McAdams was attached last December to the American embassy in Paris as special courier to the American legations In Brussels and The Hague after serving at Cha-teau-Thierry. “1 han a little while to loaf while In The Hague," he said, “and since Amerongen is only two and a half hours’ ride away, my chum and I decided to see the kaiser’s home. We met him in the count's park. He was strolling leisurely along in his alpenjagger hunting suit. We saluted-him and stopped. “‘Are you Americans?’ he asked, using perfect English. ‘“You bet we are.’ we replied. “ ‘Were you in the war?' he quest’oned further. “‘Didn’t you meet us at ChauteauThierry?’ we grinned back.”

Innocent Victims.

“What’s the matter wlthjCapt. Blinko, the 1 animal trainer? Hector, the Numidian man eater,-is cowering in one corner of his cage afraid to lift a paw and the royal Bengal tigers are trembling with fear.” “Captain Blinko had another little argument with Mrs. Blinko this morning. Whenever anything like that happens he. cuffs his pets around to restore his Self-respect."—Birmingham Age-Herald.

Indiana Housekeeping.

If you are a race fan read this to your wife. The night before the 500mile race at Indianapolis one sprinkling wagon and eleven men actually scrub every brick on the two and onehalf mile course. Sure, it only comes once a year, but who wants a race course for a kitchen?

Hard to Teach.

“You nre charged with permitting jour horse to stand unattended for over an hour,” said the magistrate. “Wgll, I defy anybody to teach the brute to sit down,” protested the prisoner, before being led~away.

To Be Avoided.

“John, it is time you were digging up the garden." “Oh, don't let us rake up that old subject.”

Proving It.

“After all, poverty is the great policeman of life.” “I must say It does pinch people.”

'CAP'N' EZRA RILED

Ancient Mariner Has Trying Day in Boston Town. And Ho Will Find Many to Agree With Him In Hl* Positive Assertion That “Umbrellies Is Dangerous Weapons.” I heard a sigh behind me as I unfolded my favorite evening sheet. Someone settled into the seat and rested wearily against me. I exhumed myself from my sheet and stole a sidelong glance. In the little leathery man with the nervous bit of chiu whiskers I recognized Cap’n Ezra Godskins of our town.' His mild blue eye caught mine and I wished him good evening. He replied with another sigh and the cryptic remark, “Umbrellies is dangerous weapons.” Then, s like another and better known Ancient Mariner, he seemed unable tq contain himself and launched forth into the subject that was torturing his soul. ‘ -J ’ This Is the captain’s plaint: ? “I come Into town this mornln bearin’ no man any malice. It looked like rain, but I didn’t eale’late to let that spoil my good nature. Most everyone but me was totin’ a umbrelly. "I was bumpin' along in the crowd leavin’ the station an' Just at the entrance I was surrounded by five fat old ladies who was so interested in decidin’ where they was goin' to meet for lunch that they didn’t notice that I was standln' in the middle of the cqbv feerunce an’ gettin’ the benefit of all the emphasis of the pointin' they did with their umbrellies.

“A lady pointin’ one direction with a parasol wants to look where s she s a-pointin’. “I squoze out of there just In time to get gouged in the nigh leg by a young feller that carried his umbrelly strapped to the side of his valise. He gave me a nasty look for bein theie. I started up the street and see a feller ahead of me carryin' his umbrelly over his shoulder like a musket. He turned *> look into a store winder and bumped a old man into the side of the head with the muzzle of his weapon. They had some words. . .... . "A young girl that looked bright enough to know better was carryin her umbrelly in the middle and talkin’ so fast at the same time I guess she didn’t know she was proddin’ folks both ahead and behind as though she might be sayin’ ’Get up, Jessie; go 'long, Bill I’ “A tall feller with a black ribbon on his eye glasses was whirlin' his slim umbrelly around by the handle, thereby gettin’ most of the sidewalk and a lot of unfavorable opinion for himself. He varied this a little by usin’ it as a cane, swingin’ It well out in front and behind. Every once in a while !t swung Into some one’s shanks or stabbed ’em In the instep. He sure had the comfort an’ safety of other folks in mind. “People used ’em as wedges to get Into the crowd and as a pry to get out. Due young feller I see was standin’ on the edge of the sidewalk, leanin’ back on his umbrelly and talkin’ to a friend of hls’n. Some feller goin’ along mindin’ his own business caught his toe in it and brought the lad down at neat as a nlnepin. ..... “Now if he had a had his umbrelly hangin' down straight from his hand the way it should ha’ been an’ been goin’ about his business Instead of blockin’ up the sidewalk- he wouldn’t a had to go home and changed his breeches. - “The -trouble is that folks who carry a umbrelly so It didn’t interfere with anybody else is generally the ones that gets jabbed. “I ain’t got the heart to speak of umbrellies when folks carries ’em raised. They Is worse than dangerous then; they is positively deadly. I been dodgin’ careless and thoughtless handlers of umbrellies all day and in the hands of them class of people that is a dangerous weapon. Yes, sir, uinbrellies is a dangerous weapon.**—Boston Globe.

Notes Issued by Austrians.

A correspondent writes that Austrian notes were not the only, “duds” that caused trouble and loss to the allies. Every British soldier who served on the western fronjt must have had expc-ri ence, (he says) of those pretty Belgian notes which were not worth the paper they were printed on, for the reason that the enemy were in control of the Belgian national banks. “It was pever safe,” (he adds) “to accept change for a hundred .franc note or other note of high denomination without examining each small bill given in lieu. One was almost sure to come across one or two nice clean Belgian five-franc notes hidden away among the genuine French stuff.”

» For Sale. He had determined to “mop up”— not in the sense, however, that one. thinks of these days. He had s«ien 'a mop such as he desired advertised for 98 cents (original price $1.50). and made haste to get one. for he had also determined to buy nothing unless it was “on fkle,” The mop cost 98 cents, a handle 10 cents extra, a bottle of polish was added for good measure. He proceeded to drop the bottle, and as the mop without the polish was useless, it waS necessary to buy another bottle, which set. him back 50 cents. The bargain cost him $1.60 instead of 98 cents, as he had pictured. However, he is still determined to beat the H. C. L. ‘ ’

SATAN’S THRONE IN BERLIN

Not, However, the Seat of the Kaiser's Authority, as One Might Rea* sonably Suppose. In order to understand where the throne of Satan came from and how ft came to Berlin, it Is necessary to open the pages of ancient history and n-ni’w our acquaintance with Pergamum. ... I’ergamum (Pergamos or Pergamon) was the ancient capital of iifysia. In Asia Minor. Ij was about three miles north of the Caicus river and fifteen op twenty miles from the Aegean sea. Under the Greek rule of Attalus I (241-197 B. C.) It became not only a powerful city but also the center of the artistic and literary life of Asia. Attalus built many wonderful temples, altars and monuments that attracted the attention of the entire •world. His son Eumenes II (197-159 B. C.) carrier! on the policy of his fa- > ther. He founded the famous Pergamum library, which cnnKined 200,000 volumes. This library was later removed to Egypt by Antony’ and presented by him to Cleopatra. Attalus 111 bequeathed his treasures and the kingdom of whjeb Pergamum was the capital to Rome, and so, at his death, in 11$ B. C., it became a Roman province. This was the first Roman province on 'Asiatic soil. Carl Humiinn, a civil engineer, who had traveled in Asia Minor, induced •the Berlin museum to fit out an expedition to excavate for the hidden treasures of ancient Pergamum. In 1886, at the close of the third campaign, Huinann r and a friend named Conze unearthed the great altar and the site of the library. Subsequent expeditions uncovered many treasures. The great altar was shipped, piece by piece, to Berlin and re-erected in’ the Kaiser Friedrich museum. A few parts of It are in Constantinople. However, the central and main portion of Satan’s throne is in Berlin. With the throne of Satan in Berlin it is not difficult to understand the military ambitions and actions of the German government.

France’s Big Families.

Nothwithstanding all that is said about the depopulation of France, large families are by no means scarce in certain rural parts of the country. “ "A'"society for the encouragement of large families publishes a report giving the names of 587 families in the department of the Loire-Inferieure, each of which has had more than six sons or sons-in-law with the colors. At the head of the list Is the Marlot family, of which twenty-two members — nine sons, three sons-in-law and ten grandsons—have joined the army. Four of them were killed, four wounded, one died in captivity, and one is missing. Four won the croix de guerre. Numerous other families in the-St. Nazaire district have had from six to twelve sons and grandsons at the front. The 587 families named furnished 4,015 soldiers to the army.— Lexington Herald.

Treat ’Em Rough.

This applies to all garden Insects, for none of them are there with an honest purpose, says the National War Garden compiission In a bulletin. If you discover that one or more hills of your canteloupes are infested with plant lice, the only thing to do is to pull the plants up and carry them off and burn them. But in doing sb you should put them in a tight receptacle of some kind so that none of the lice drop off and get on other plants for they will multiply rapidly and you will have part of your fight over again. —Afffor squash bugs if they begin to suck sap until their skins burst, spray the cantelotfpe vines with nicotine sulphate, soap and water. Old squash bugs can be trapped under pieces of board placed near the plants. They will hide at night under these boards and may be killed in the morning.

Soldier,' Swear Words.

Despite the chaplains, the men developed the habit of swearing; soldiers always have. War requires emphatic expression. It destroys flexibility of expression—and “damn” and “hell” do Seem the fullest description of a soldier’s occupation. “It’s an Innocent kind of swearing, though.” said a chaplain. “It does not reallj’ blaspheme, and the men will fall out of the habit when they return home. —Theydon’t doitin a chaplain’s presence—unless they are under fire, when chaplains are too busy to attend to such Tierails.” ' They did not swear when they were in the presence of women—and least of all in the hospitals where they were ministered to by those hard working, practical, noble army nurses who submitted to discipline as sharp as that of the men. and where they learned to appreciate womanhood at Its best.

Walks Upside Down.

Because he walks upside down as well as right side up, the black-and-white warbler is also frequently called the black-and-white creeper, says the American Forestry association of Washington, which is conducting the national birdhouse building contest. This bird has been called a symphony in black and white because of the* beautiful manner In which these two colors are used over "his body. His head is barred black and white with a white stripe over each eye; he has wing bars on each wing and the inner webs of his outer tail feathers are white patched. This bird gets most of his food by gathering, insects and grubs from the crevices in the bark of trees, thus pests, whichmight work-in jury to fine trees.

If Yoo Need a Medicine You Should Have the Best Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are extensively advertised, all at once drop out off sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain—the article did not fulfiU the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation, that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is ■recommended by those who have been benefited, tb those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says “Take for example Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every’ case it shows excellent results, as many of my .customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large a sale.” According to sworn statements ana verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is due to the fact, so many people claim, that it fulfills almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments; corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism. You may’ receive a sample bottle of Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N, Y., and enclose ten cents; also mention this paper. Large and medium size bottles for sale at all drug stores. —Adv.

Life of Candle Flame.

Laboratory experiments conducted of late iiave shown that a candle flame will become extinguished when the oxygen content of the atmosphere in which it is burning falls to about 45 per cent. Sulphur stops burning when all but 13.5 per cent of the oxygen in an inclosed space has been exhausted. The case of charcoal, however, Is notable. Combustion continues until only 9 per cent of the oxygen remains.

Country and City Boys.

Tom, the country 6-year-old, presenting himself one day in even more than his usual state of dust and disorder was asked by his mother if he would not like to be a little city boy, and always be nice and clean, in white suits and shoes and_ stockings. “They’re not children; they’re pets,” he answered scornfully.—Everybody’s Magazine.
