That’s hardly the name for it. He has been kicked out." “I’m sorry to hear that. Didn’t he have anything saved up to keep him ind his wife in their old age?” “Not a cent. I’ll have to support them the rest of their lives.” “Well, it’s lucky that you are able to do so." “It may be lucky enough, but there’s one thing that makes me mighty sore whenever I think of it” “What’s that?” “The lofty way in which the old man asked me, when-' I told him I wanted to marry his daughter, if I thought I would be able to support her in the style to which she had been accustomed.” Couldn’t Be Done. “So you will agree that women have greater powers of persuasion than men.” “Yes, Henrietta,” replied Mr. Meekion. “No man could go out and'buy Ive or six hundred dollars’ worth of »ilk hats and suits of clothes and satisfy his wife with'the explanation that Me wanted to make himself more attractive in her eyes.” Not Competent, - District Attorney—ls the lady on your left, just selected as a juror, related to you, Mr. Jones? “Yes, sir, she’s my wife.” “Would she be apt to influence your opinion in deciding on the merits of this case?” Judge—That is a foolish question.

MAKING SURE OF ALL FACTS Missouri Editor Discovers Much Humor in Cross-Examination—Judge Gives Warning to Jurors. Did you ever sit and listen to a lawyer as he cross questioned a witness of the opposition? It takes a wonderful and active mind to handle this part of the trial/’ It runs something like this, Arthur Aull writes in the Lama (Mo.) Democrat: ; “How long did the defendant stay in the house?” “About fifteen minutes.” “Did you have a watch?” “No, sir.” “How did you know it was fifteen minutes?" “I didn’t know.” “You didn’t know?” “No, sir.” “What did you say you knew for?” “I didn’t say I knew.” “You didn’t say you knew?” “No, sir." “What did you say, then?” “You asked me how long he stayed In the house. I gave it as my opinion that he stayed there about fifteen min-j utes.” “Oh. you gave it as your opinion that he was in the house about fifteen minutes?" “Yes, sir.” “As a matter of fact, he might have been in there more than fifteen minutes or some less than fifteen minutes?” “He might have, yes.” “He might have,?” “Yes, sir." “It might not have been fifteen minutes for all you know? Isn't that a fact?” “Yes, sir, it is.” “If some one should come Into this court and swear that the defendant was in this house thirteen minutes, you wouldn’t be able to successfully dispute it, .would you?” “No, sir.” “What did he go into the house for?” “To make some arrangements about his brother-in-law’s funeral." “To make some arrangements about) his brother-in-law’s funeral?” “Yes. sir.” “Was his brother-in-law dead?"

MILLIONS IN "JACKS” Kansan Has 10,000 Fenced in and Corn-Fed on Ranch. Confident That Sunflower Venison Will Bring Him a Fortune and Solve Perplexing Meat Problem. Kansas City, Mo. —It’s easy to beat the high cost of living. All you have to do is to eat a jack rabbit and like it Very simple, indeed. Numerous experiments have been tried tor the cheapening of meat They range all the way from “frog ranches” to “bear farms,” including deer preserves and wild geese hatcheries. But the one thing that is to remove the underpinning from the market quotations on beef is the Kansas jack rabbit. At least that is what Samuel O. Crawford says. Mr. Crawford also says that he has the making of a mighty nifty little rabbit ranch near Grace, Kan., and that he has come to Kansas City to arrange for cold storage facilities necessary to the handling of “Sunflower venison.” It may be Mr. Crawford was dreaming as he sat in the lobby of the Hotel White looking at the rain through a haze of cigar smoke. He says that the wasn’t. In fact, Mr. Crawford was emphatic in the declaration that he has a real, bona fide, about-to-be-pros-perous reservation for long-eared bunnies in the immediate vicinity ' of Grace, and that “there’s millions in it.” But give Mr. Crawford a chance to speak for himself. funny, does it?” says Mr. Crawford, says he, passing the cigars, “but it ain’t no joke. Neither am I trying to sell stock in the enterprise. You sea, I’ve leased several hundred acres of land in northwestern Kansas, just about halfway between Grace and Quickville. I reckon I’ve got as many as 10,000 jack rabbits in chickey wire inclosure. I got most of ’em from a rabbit drive, which I promoted among the farmers of that county. The rest I got for eight cents apiece from the farmer boys who trap ’em. I’m feeding ’em corn, and they fatten up like steers —weigh eight or ten pounds in prime condition. “And talk about your good eatin’— say, feMows, if you never sunk your teeth into a stall-fed Kansas jack rabbit, you don’t know what eatin’ is—that’s all. Have another cigar? “I’m going to wait until the cold weather and then begin to kill off these rabbits. I’m going to ship ’em in carload lots to Kansas City, and put ’em in cold storage. Then I’m going to

Dr. Anderson of Stefansson Expedition Is in San Francisco. Talks of Men In Arctic Who Hunt With Crude Bow and Arrow, Fish Through the Ice, Kindle Fire in an Odd Way. San Francisco, Cal. —Corroborating in every detail the story of the dis3overy of the blond Eskimo tribes recently given the world of science by Vilhajlmer Stefansson, his partner in arctic explorations, Dr. Rudolph Martin Anderson ot Forest City, lowa, arrived here recently on the whaler Belvedere after four and a half years in the frozen north. He was accompanied by Prof. E. Dekoven Lefflngwell of Pasadena, Cal., who has passed three and a half years making observations in the vicinity of the Flaxman islands and surveying and mapping about 150 miles of the coast line. “It was over on the Cape Bexley territory, on the mainland and on Prince Albert sound, across and to the south of the Dolphin and Union straits, that Stefansson first got in touch with blond aborigines," said Dr. Anderson. “In the spring of 1910 we lost most of our dogs while at Cape Barry, Langton bay and Franklyn bay, where we had wintered. Stefansson and I parted company, he leaving with two Eskimos for the east, while I pushed on to the Mackenzie delta tor supplies. We met again at Langton bay in the autumn of 1910 and he told me of the queer tribe he had discovered. “In December we started out and were thirty-one days crossing 300 miles of the worst strip ot land we ever encountered. We explored the little known Horton river and made

New York. —Abraham Diamond,’ twenty-six years old, 657 Degraw street, Brooklyn, was charged with combining business and grand larceny by Mrs. Frances Moore of 330 West Eighty-seventh street, when he was arraigned in the West side court. Mrs. Moore wanted her vacuum cleaner repaired, and went to a department store to have a man sent up. Later, Diamond, who is said to be a brother of the young woman in the store who took the order, turned up with a kit of tools. He cut his finger while fixing the cleaner and asked for a piece of lint Mrs. Moore left the room to find a bandage. When she got back Diamond and her diamonds, including three rings, a bracelet and

Berlin Society's Alm Is to Reform Men’s Wearing Apparel—Hat to Be Abolished. Berlin.—A “Society for the Reform of Men’s Apparel” has just been launched for the purpose of inducing men to break away from such “freaks of fashion” -as trousers, waistcoats, shirts, suspenders, collars, neckties and hats. For working and the ordinary purpose of wear the reformers desire to substitute smock or blouse suits, and instead of the prevailing form of evening dress, knee breeches and high buttoned jackets, which shall obviate 1 the necessity of either shirts or linen collars. | The hat, if the reformers have their way, will be entirely abolished, although they are willing to allow it to disappear gradually by accustoming men to wear a straw head covering of some sort, both summer and

NEW KIND OF AN IRISHMAN Definition That by His Own Confession Was Very Little Far From the Truth. Apropos of the very telling retorts that Sam Schepps made to Cross-Ex-aminer Mclntyre in the Becker case, Jerome S. McWade, the Duluth connoisseur, said: “I like to see anyone get back at an impudent lawyer. I got back at Buch a lawyer myself the other day. “The man was my counsel in a customs dispute over some Gobelin tapestries that I’d imported. His name had, like my own, a ‘Mick’ ifi it, and I said to him, as I settled his very large bill: ‘“‘Are you an Irishman, str?’ “ ‘No,’ he answered, with a pompous laugh, ‘but I’ve made a lot of money out of Irishmen in my time.’ ‘ ‘Oh, I see,’ said I. ‘I suppose we might call you an Irishman by extraction, then.’” HANDS BURNING, ITCHING 905 Lowell Place, Chicago, 11l. — “The trouble began by my hands burning and itching and I rubbed and [ scratched them till one day I saw lit-, tie red sores coming out. My hands i were disfigured and swollen, and troubled me so that I could not sleep. They were cracked and when the small sores broke a white matter would come out. I could not do any hard work; if I did the sores would come out worse. For two years nobody could cure my eczema, until one day I thought I would try the Cutlcura Soap and Ointment. I used warm water with the Cuticura Soap and after that I put the Cuticura Ointment on my hands twice a day for about five jr six months when I was cured. (Signed) Sam Marcus, Nov. 28, 1911.

Russia has a law which to outside observers seems almost to put a premium on theft by which stolen goods become the property of the thief if he can prove that he has had possesion of them for over five years. In the thieves’ market —which is, of course, licensed by the police—goods that admittedly have been stolen (more *than five years before) are openly offered for sale, and the place s a veritable Mecca for the light Angered gentry and their enterprising friends, as also for the more honest members of society, who secure many < tempting bargain.
