FORTS WORTH PURCHASING Uncle Bam Has. Them for Sale and Their Acquisition Might Be = s Well Worth While. ‘Scores of old forts in the United States are for sale. We don’t need forts any more, except around the edges of the country and can spare a good many of those. . . Antiquated forts are to go at auction and other means of sale, and there is a chance to secure some oldfashioned masterpieces and military antiques, : P The real future value of these forts les chiefly in their- display to tourists. Tourists are presently going to be one of the best money-making prop‘ositions in the United States. . = ~ As few suspected the millions of dollars that lay in the movies, so the value of tourists is not yet appre clated as it will be when they begin to come every summer in armies, moving eastward and westward. Every tourist will have from $3OO to $5OO to spend, and the town with the most “sights” and enjoyments is going to get the most greenbacks. Maine’s $45,000,000 a year from tourists will be but a small portion of the money circulated. - Every town near an old fort should get it -in this bargain sale; and should acquire everything else that will conStitute a ‘“‘show.” Perhaps some city will mother an annual world’s fair. It might pay.—St. Louis Globe-Demo-crat, : s

POINTER RETRIEVED THE HAT

Seemingly a Case Where Dog, in Classic Phrase, “Seen His Duty ' and pono It.” A good-looking pointer dog was trotting timidly along Ohio street in front of the Federal building. He plainly was uneasy and was making his way in a sort of bewilderment through the crowd near Pennsylvania street. A woman’s black sailor hat came rolling along in the high wind. It careened among scurrying feet, but none stopped it. Thirty yards or more behind in laughing chase was a young colored woman. > ‘The dog {saw the hat and although not near it ran in chase. He galloped along beside it, striking at it occasionally as if trying to let it know it should stop. He seemed not to wish to touch it for fear of doing it damage. Finally he became exasperated and caught it in his mouth. Holding one foot on it he looked around to see what should be done. ; The colored girl got her hat all right, the pointer yielding it with a proud strut. He got a pat on the head and a kind word that made him jump for joy. " The colored' woman went on her way, and the dog’ half-wistfully began his search for a way out of the crowd. —lndianapolls News. :

Woman and a Bank.

_~ One of my tenants was a young woman who clerked in a large mercantile office. She handed me a check for the usual amount but she had used a:‘ different form, . : “I see you have changed your bank,” I remarked. - , “QOh, no, not at all,” she replied. ~ “But this check i{s drawn on the Lin-coln-Alliance and I thought you banked with the Merchants.” ; e “So I do,” she explained. “But I ran out of checks of my own bank and so 1 berrowed one from a friend in the office who banks with the Lincoln-Al-Hance.” : : o “And you have no account there?” I asked. ] “Why, no, of course not.” I tried to explain. But—oh, well, what's the use? She was vexed, I had inferred doubt of her honesty.” I was no gentleman. She had Dbetter move, she declared. And she moved.— Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

Plan to Roof Over River.

A roof over the Chicago river ten miles in length, carrying boulevards, parks, garages and oil filling stations, has been proposed as the golution of Chicage’'s traffic problem. ' The roof would be 200 feet wide, of nine-inch concrete supported on concrete piling sunk into the river bed. On the roof would be two sidewalks; fifteen feet wide; two boulevards fifty feet wide, and ‘a vacant space in the center seventy feet wide. The proposed plan would not interfere with river traffic as it would be constructed from twenty te thirty feet above the surface of the water. irien - Need Knowledge of Timber. = - Nowhere is there a greater need for knowledge of timber growing than in the eastern states, says the forest service, United States Department of Agriculture. In this isectlon the relatively dense population, the enormous industrial demands for timber, and the large areas of lands best fitted for forests all unite to urge timber pro‘duction on a large scale.

STORY CALLS FOR AFFIDAVIT Yarn of South Carclina Man Almost Too Much for Ordinary Reader o ~ to Believe. e Representative James F. Byrnes, Democrat, of South. Carolina, is mot much of a fisherman, but he is fine on fish stories. : ’ In the cloak room of the house, members from °various states were swapping yarns. - ! : “Talking about fishing,” sald Mr. Byrnes, “there is one pool in & mountain streem near Tryon, N. C., I wiii always remember. I was in that part of the country one summer resting and rambling for my health and a good time, : X . “I saw a mountaln man, with hook and line, make his way to the creek bank and comtence to fish. With my glasses I could see that he had baited his hook with a tiny frog. For some time he fished, throwing the hook out, but he got no bite. Tiring of this, he stuck- his pole in the bank, picked up a small rifie and went to shooting at targets In the woods. Fearing a stray shot, I came out of hiding and accosted him. While we talked we heard a commotion near the fishing place. On looking that way we saw that the froggie had climbed up the line and was sitting on the end of the pole singing, and brook trout were jumping out of the water trying to get him, ‘ “‘By George! there’'s my chance! sald the fisherman, and he ran back and commenced to shoot the fish as they rose from the water. Late that afternoon, when 1 saw him again, he had a half bushel of trout he had shot.” " . That broke up the meeting.—Utica Globe, , : .

‘NO CHANCE TO GET A'WAY

As Clubman Mournfully Related, He Was Caught Whether He Was ) _ “Going or Coming.” President. Walter O. Teagle of the Standard Oil company ofsNew Jersey sald the other day in Washington: “The fable that my company rumns chain stores and copper mines and restaurants and so on is so persistent, so indomitable, that it reminds me of a story. ~ “If you do not want to marry her, why on earth did you propose to her?”’ sald one clubman to another. ‘ “That’s just it,’ sald the other, ‘She proposed to me.’ : : “ ‘Why didn’t you have spunk enough to refuse her, then? “That’s just it. I couldn’t. 'She worded her proposal so cleverly, you see. She said, ‘Will you marry me? Have you any objection? Thus, whether I said yes or no, she had me. She had me going and coming.’ ’ “‘Not at all’ said the first clubman, with a condescending laugh, ‘You should- have observed a discreet silence! . E “¢Just what I did,’ sald the other, ‘and she fell into my arms, murmuring: that silence gave consent.’"—Log Angeles Times. by :

Birds’ Working Hours.

Some birds work almost all day in the summer. They clear the crops of Insects. : : The thrush gets up at half-past two every morning. He falls to work at once, and does not stop until half-past nine at night—a clear 19 hours. During that time he feeds his young 206 times. _ R ; The blackbird starts work at the same hour as the thrush, but leaves off earlier. His whistle blows at halfpast seven, and during his 17-hour day: he sets about 100 meals. before his family. . ' e The titmouse is up at three in the morning, and his stopping tinre is nine at night. A fast worker, he is said to feed his young 417 times a day. ‘ oAI Rl : Educational “Movies.” When used in combination with other methods of presenting Ideas, such as newspaper publicity, the: spoken’ word, exhibits, slides, and printed bulletins,. the United States’ Department of Agriculture has found that meotion pictures constitute a valuable addition to these extension agencles. The department maintains its own motion-picture .laboratory, where films are prepared to picturize improved agricultural practices, to ‘warn about dangerous conditions or undesirable methods, or otherwise to acquaint those at a distance from the national capital with the work of the department or its application to farm life. : |

Magellanic Clouds,

Magellanic clouds are two cloudy masses of light, oval in shape and unequal In size, seen at night in the heavens, in the vicinity of the South pole. They are supposed to be nebulae, or dense aggregations of stars, so far distant as to give to the unalded eye . the impression of .cloud-like masses. They cover areas of about 42 and 10 square degrees respectively, and are so named in honor of Ferdinand Magellan, the great Portuguese - havigator, who first observed them in 16520, during his voyage around the. - world. 4 - Serbia Has Pretty Custom. - Oliver ‘Semple Barton, who has been “traveling -in Europe studying national _costumes, has gathered some very interesting material, In Serbia he found girls walking along the streets with the names of their flances embroidered _on the fronts of: their aproms. The -engagement then becomes a public af‘falr, and the news is proudly published by the young lady by the display of the name, which is written so that all may gee, says Mr. Barton in The Mentor. | FOR SALE—Reed Baby carriage goed condition Enquire Mrs, ‘Fre% | Kiester. o ‘ 19at | Beginners’ dancing class will be in|structed by Dr, Arnold Elson at 8:00 jo’clock each Thursday eveming until
