Stations of the Turkish Red Crescent have been erected at each camp, but witnesses say that little or nothing is being done for the relief of the sufferers. At San Steffno the camp is located along a dailway embankment thirty feet high and the edge of the station which borders the railway is lined with bodies pitched from passing troop trains.

WATTERSQH ADVISES A Diplomatic Job for William J. Bryan. (National Nev. s Association) LOUISVILLE. Ky., Nov. 21. Henry Watterson, in a Courier-Journal editorial nominates William Jennings Bryan for ambassador to England after expressing the fear that if Mr.

Bryan is made secretary of state the

administration will not be large enough to hold both Mr. Bryan and President Wood row Wilson, also that the Nebraskan has personal grudges with Champ Clark and Oscar Underwood that would Interfere. Therefore says Mr. Watterson: "The Courier-Journal, out of its consuming love for both Mr. Wilson and Mr. Bryan nominates Mr. Bryan for ambassador to the Court of St. James. It will cut the Cordian knot, solve the problem, lift the veil and remove the pressure. There need be no friction or thought of friction. That 'long jaw and that 'bulging bald spot' will be segregated by miles and leagues of the multitudinous seas incarnate or words to that effect and Champ and Oscar can come and go between the

white house the rapitol without hindrance or disguise. Beside we do so want to see Mr. Bryan in knee breeches and silk stockings."

KILLING A COBRA.

A Plucky Crew For Which the Big Snake Had No Terrors. It the testimony offered by an English naturalist in Ceylon be given full credence, then the cobra is not so dangerous a snake as popular reputation makes It In at least two Instances, reports this naturalist, cobras were chased by large birds. In neither case did the snake seem to have any hypnotic power, such as la generally credited to snakes itt general. A crow was seen, fighting an in , trader into ; Its net .situated at the very top of a tree. ; The crow was circling at close Quarters and pecking hard at the nest; cawing loudly all the time.' The best was some forty feet above ground. " ' ' ? ; V Presently a nak came out of the nest antfstartedb descend, with the crow in hot pursuit, peeking at the cobra continually. The snake took refuge about ten feet down in a clump of dead ferns, from which it was chased out by the crow. It came from branch to branch until It reached a large horizontal limb, which stretched oat about twenty feet. ' Here the snake was at a great dis

advantage, inasmuch as it could not turn upea the crow. The latter seem

ed fully-' to appreciate the situation, ind Its tactics were excellent It would peck hard at the spine close to the tail and then peek near the snake's neck. At each peek pieces of the snake's ikla were ton out, whereupon the eabm would 11 quite motionless. But Just as soon as It evinced signs of gala attempting to escape the crew wo4d recommence Its attacks with extraordtnary surety of aim. After fifteen mroutM the. cobra was dead.

It Is a little lighter than water and might easily bo takes for a piece of the bark of a tree. On examination, howover, it is found to be of a waxy nature streaked with gray, yellow and black and emitting a peculiar aromatic odor. It fusee at 140 to 150 degrees F. and at a higher temperature gives out a white smoke, which condenses into a

crystalline fatty matter. It is found la all stsos, from a pound up to twenty or thirtys but occasionally pieces weighing 100 or 200 poaads are found In whales. Ambergris has been known from an early period, some pharmacopoeias prescribing it for fevers and nervous complaints. It is sometimes mingled with the Incense bunted in churches and la also pat in certain kinds of wine to improve the "bouquet , But the great use of ambergris is in the manufacture of perfumery not that its fragrance is either very powerful or pleasing, but it possesses the peculiar property of causing other ingredients to throw out their odors, making them more specific and durable. In this respect It bears a resemblance to the use of mordants in dyeing, without which the colors would fall to become permanent; hence all the best perfumes contain ambergris, which Is one reason of their costliness, and hence also the fact that "homemade" cologne, for Instance, smells only of alcohol.

Luck In Chips From the Headstone Over a Famous Thief. Behind the temple sacred to the nameless dead and close to the wrestling amphitheater in Tokyo there is to be found the grave of the celebrated robber Nezuml Kozo, who stole from the daimlos long ago in the old Yeddo days that he might relieve the sufferings of the poor. There is a superstition connected with this grave which has made it a much frequented spot If a portion of the headstone is carried away it acts as a lucky talisman, particularly to those who speculate or are otherwise engaged in games of chance. It is usual for a person breaking a piece from the stone to make a vow that in case he is successful he 'will buy a new headstone to replace the one he has mutilated. Many prayers must have been answered, for the stones are piled high on either side of the grave, and an enterprising individual near by has the stones already for sale and only waiting the name of the donor to be engraved and then set up. A shelter has been placed over the spot, and from the roof hang gray lanterns and pilgrims' banners. A large money box catches all the stray sen which go for the apkeeplng of the grave. Gamblers and geisha are often visitors. Students before their examinations feel more assured f success if they have a chip of Nezuml Kozo's headstone in the sleeve of then kimeao. Argonaut

On Safe Ground. Whenever on one of his rare holidays Captain Goldby went to the city he took some young relative with him as a special treat On one such occasion he told his seventeen-year-old grandson, whom he had with him, that they would "dine at a real rest' rant and get a taste of fancy cooking." When they were at last seated In the great dining room the grandson waited impatiently while the captain read the bill of fare completely through without omitting a stogie article, whether domestic or foreign in title. At last he sighed and handed the card across the table to the boy. "Ton choose what you like, sonny," he said, with a sigh. "As for me, I reckon as I've already eat more herrin' than any other man llvin' I might as well stow away a little more. It's afays agreed with me so far. Youth's Companion.

How to Choos Bacon-ting Colors. However alluring a color may be, remember that it Is your complexion and your hair and eyes which must be complemented. The old rule of matching the hair and eyes Is not as far astray as it might be. Women with an Instinctive knowledge of color may venture where others should be wary. So wonderfully artistic are the combinations of color selected by women who know the values of color as applied to themselves Individually that one is often tempted to follow their example, but It is well to hesitate and to remember that because the colors selected do blend with the personality they are successful. Study, therefore, your own personality and choose accordingly.

STORM BUGGIES

Vkr: i's? -MJI

WITH OUTSIDE SLIDING DOORS This is our outside sliding door storm buggy vhich has the freaks and faults of other outside etiding door storm buggies eliminated. It is not an experiment or uncertainty, but the result of our efforts to reach the ideal in the construction of an outside sliding door. The greatest fault heretofore with.outside eliding door storm buggies has been the operation (or rather non-operation) of the doors. Most of them are made with the doors to slide on tracks that are on the outside of the top, exposed to the weather. The tracks being made of Iron and not protected, become rusty and form a catch-all for mud, sand and water, which freezes and prevents the doors working freely. We have overcome all these objections common to other outside Eliding door storm buggies by our method fit construction. The upper track Is protected from the elements cf the weather by the side quarters, which extend over it. and the lower track is on the underneath edge, of the frame. Thus the doors always slide perfecUy smooth and easy. SOLD ONLY BY US
