Not on this line" cried the other. You

"Ha!' snortetd the navy, "haul me out!
Not twenty of 'em couldn't!" well, you'll
see" The train drew up, the ticket collector
appeared. Everybody in the carriage looked
forward to a row, and people in the adjoin-

to watch the events. '"Tickets!' growled
the collector, hastily scrutinizing the passes
that were thrust into his hand. THAT man

thin voice. The navy affected to be rum

A Crafty Dentist

A writer in the Universalist Leader of
Boston, discusses In bright and entert ain
Ing way the question of church advertising.
one clergyman questioned by the writer
contented himself with a regular church no
tice In the daily papers. Another distrib-
uted weekly bulletin, and ant. her racked
his brains to get up fetching" circulars.
A clergyman In country town said he
thought pastors best advertisement was
the harmony between his faith and his con-
duct. Another advertised himself and his
church by pointed illusions to politics and
to current events. He reviewed new
books. The preachers have difficulties of
professional etiquette to overcome Just as
doctors have. A story is told of dentist
VINO circumvented the professional rule
against advertising in this way. He owned
two houses, Nos. II and 10 Smith street. He
moved his office from II to 10 and kept a
removal notice standing In all the local pa :
pers for three years, by which time it must
have been tired enough to sit down. Then
he moved back to No. II and advertised that
fact. All this was severely ethical. and If
paid the dentist so well that he was soon
able to buy No. 81, and It is reported that
he has a mortgage on No. 23-National Ad
vertser.

"YANKEE DOODLE" IN SPAIN
The Song Is Universally Known in the
BASQUE Provinces

"'Yankee Doodle doesn't any more be-
long to you Yankees than It does to the
southerners," said the Confederate major.
when my father was comparatively
young man he visited San Sebastian and met
Senior Queheille, an aged Biscayan gentle
man, who was United States vice consul
there, and Senior Queheille proved to him
that Yankee Doodle was a Biscayan air.
MY father told him about difficulty which
he and some friends had just had with a
crowd of angry Basques. The Basques
had surrounded them and shouted, 'Mueran!
murean! meaning Kill them! kill them!'
Senior Queheille said to him:
Why didn't you whistle your national
air? 1t would have saved you
"'Our national air. my father exclaimed.
What do these people know about that?
"'Had you but whistled 1t, repeat said
the old gentleman. the angry Basques
might have taken you to be what they
modestly esteem themselves, the cream of
all the Basques, for purity of race and
purity of language, and, indeed, originality

childhood. I was amazed and amused too
years ago when first heard 1t in Boston

tone.
"'"No" said I, 'It Is ours" He then told
me that you had got 1t from the British
at Bunker Hill. told him that might be,
but that originally 1t must have come from
the Pyrenees. He did not believe me. but
I can prove the fact to you. Tomorrow is
one of the days those gentry outside let
their women come in with vegetables. Come
and take an early breakfast with me and
you shall be convinced
"You may be sure my father was on time
the next morning." continued the major re-
filling his pipe. "On proceeding to the
plaza with the old Spanish gentleman, they
found it thronged with market women
from far and near. A middle-aged woman
who had sold her supply of vegetables was
getting ready to start for home. Senior
Quehelle accosted her In Basque and learn

bands safety and success. 1t was not until

confirmation of our splendid victory

Just at that instant the roar Of that little
brass cannon on the front porch made the
windows rattle and brought the admiral
wife to her feet with a start.

laugh and look of motherly pride. "Those
boys of mine ought not to be firing cannon.
But haven't the heart to stop them today.
Neither Of them slept wink last night
and they started this fearful cannonading
at o'clock in the morning. I've begged
them to take rest, but all day long the
answer has been: We're helping papa wal

Mrs. Sampson talked unreservedly of her
heroic husband; of those little things about
the man which the wife can best tell.
For weeks every mail has showered let
tiers in upon her from total strangers-men
and women eager for the admirals auto

A Long Time Dead.

Great Falls. Nov. 26.-This afternoon
IL was the turn of the sherif's ONCE
to get haired up" over nothing. A
boy named Will Young reported that
his parents, who resided on the n
of Robert Blankenbaker. on Box Elder
Coulee, 10 miles from town, to-day
started TO clean out the cellar. but be-
fore they had proceeded very far in
the work they urned up a human
skull. They quit then and there n
sent the boy in 90 report. Al Reynolds.
the deputy sheriff. was sent out with
the boy, but when they were very near
the ranch he said II was a mistake,
and that the skull had been found In
the cellar Of a house near Second ave-
nue. south and Thirteenth street. N
skull was secured, but as 1t Is bleached
white IL is likely to have been that OF
a person so years dead. and the sher-
IFS office has had its scare in vain. 1t
Is merely another one of the things
which make an officer wish that he had
died ere he had been born.

sweet.a Mare. False Tail.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
1t Is not given alone to woman, who
would max herself more beautiful
with abundant t~resses. to rest while
her back hair hangs on the door knob.
On the contrary. there is a petted sor-
rel mare In this city which Ii bedded
down carefully every night by Morris
p. Sweet, a dairyman of 1915 Folsom
street. while her switch, or rather her
tail. hangs up with the harness. Her
present owner has IA her for several
years, and so deftiy has he dressed
"Kittie's" back hair that he has driv-
en- her over all the streets OF San
Francisco without attracting attention
until she fell under the lynx eyes of
Matthew McCurrie. assistant secretary
Of h Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals.
% With his attention turne all ways
at all times. McCurrie noticed hat he
supposed to be harness sewed to the
hide OF the moor brute. Upon investi-
CATION he was sorry that there was
not a special reward of merit for the
man who had. at infinite pains. pro-
vided a good bushy switch that this
poor brute might be adequately armed
against the common enemy.
After Sweet bought the horse with
the sad looking stump, where a tail
should have been. he made several
trips to the b%oneyard before he man
aged to get a sorrel tail of just the
proper hue. To II he had enough hide
attached TO reach the crupper straps.
When II was new there was hide
enough to lace well around the stump.
but II has since been tanned n
shrunken by the wind n weather
until now a bit OF scrutiny shows some
Of the lacing at the sides. From a uti-
tartan standpoint the tail is quite as
useful as II every hair OF II was root
ed to the stump.

Toothpicks From Portugal.

From the Philadelpnia Itmes.
The best toothpicks made anywhere In
the world come from Portugal. They are
whitfield by and from orangewood
splints by peasant girls. the only tools
used being an ordinary jackknife. These
picks are as smooth az ivory and will
not break into splinters. They are ex-
pensive. Only one hotel In Philadelphia
supplies them. The girls who make the
picks receive less than 10 cents a day. As
the duty on the foreign made picks Is
only % per cent. they can be sold here
for less than picks OF similar quality
could be manufactured In this country.
despite the improved American machin-
cry and skilled labor. The profit on
American picks is almost exclusively on
the cheaper products. Some Of the Por-
tuguese picks are highly ornamented
with hand carving. They are too expen-
sive for ordinary commerce. Small guam
titles have been imported into this coun-
try on rare occasions for use at notable
banquets or as unique specimens of hand
icraft.
